Come!
How can you do this sort of work!
Let me do it!
Elder martial brother!
And with cuffs and all too.
I will release you of your bonds.
Where's my key?
Come, I'll break your bonds with an axe.
Elder Martial Brother, don't!
Elder Martial Brother
I've sinned,
so I must do this.
Please don't do this.
If you do this,
those two people yesterday...
I mean,
the Abbot will be unhappy.
I can't let you take this punishment!
Come, come, sit down.
I'll get an axe and break those chains.
Elder Martial Brother has gone through so much trouble these past few days.
Elder Martial Brother, I can do it myself.
Elder Martial Brother,
how come you look different today?
I was wrong for not recognising
Elder Martial Brother earlier
I deserve to die.
No
Elder Martial Brother, you're not guilty of anything.
I was the one who needed to be punished.
It was right of you to punish me.
I beg you,
Elder Martial Brother, I beg you
Do not to say that.
That...
Please don't hold this against me.
Elder Martial Brother, why are you saying this?
Elder Martial Brother, if you don't forgive me,
I might become blind.
Elder Martial Brother, what do you mean?
What are you talking about?
What do I have to forgive you for?
What's happened?
I beg you,
as long as you don't gouge my eyes out,
I'm willing to be your slave in the next life,
to repay your debt.
To repay your debt.
When did I say I would gouge your eyes out?
I behaved very badly when I was outside,
I broke too many of the temple's rules.
That's why I was sent here
to help you
as part of my penance.
Moreover, these past few days, Elder Martial Brother has taken care of me.
I'm thankful to you.
So why do you need my forgiveness?
If Elder Martial Brother doesn't forgive me,
I will have to take action myself,
no need for such torment.
Elder Martial Brother,
who wants to come and gouge out your eyes?
Who forced you to change your demeanour?
I'm afraid to say.
If I tell you,
they might kill me!
Is it the Abbot?
No.
The Centre of Punishment?
The Lo Hong Centre?
Or the Dharma Centre?
I really don't dare to tell you.
I beg you
you only have to forgive me
so I don't have to gouge out my own eyes.
Alright,
Elder Martial Brother. I won't hold it against you.
I forgive you
Thank you, Elder Martial Brother!
Elder Martial Brother, please stand up!
Elder Martial Brother, do you want to drink some wine?
Do you want to eat meat?
I can prepare some for you!
That's sinful...
Elder Martial Brother, don't worry,
I will bear all your sins.
All you need to do is give me the word.
I have ways of handling
the Centre of Punishment.
They won't be able to do a thing.
So you can eat and drink as you please!
No, no,
you can't do that!
If you don't think it would good doing it in the temple,
then you can go down the hill and do it.
If the Centre of Punishment asks,
I will tell them that
you went out to buy vegetables.
I will cover it up for you.
They won't be able to find anything to incriminate you.
I sincerely want to punished for my sins.
Whatever I've done to break the rules,
I wouldn't dare do again.
Where these things are concerned,
please don't bring them up again, Elder Martial Brother.
Yes.
Now there'll be no more problems!
Have a nice day!
Brother Fung,
we've seen a lot of people on this journey.
Yes!
I wonder what's happening
in the martial world.
You said that the Beggar Clan
sent an invitation
asking all the powerful warriors to meet at Shaolin.
What are they trying to do?
I have no idea.
I've heard that the new leader of the Beggar Clan, Leader Zhong
is extremely powerful.
Even the Seniors of the Clan fought him
and lost.
It looks like the Beggar Clan
wants to challenge Shaolin Temple.
I don't think so
The official word from Shaolin is that
this guy Zhong
will be defeated by the champions from Shaolin Temple.
I think so
But the Beggar Clan
must be very powerful
to dare to challenge Shaolin.
They haven't just invited the powerful warriors from the martial world,
but also the not-so-powerful ones.
I figure the Beggar Clan has invited them
to witness their Clan's display of power at the foot of Shaolin hill.
But looking at how Shaolin
is calling its followers
from around the martial world
back to protect Shaolin Temple,
even a blind man would be able to see
who's the weaker one, and the stronger one.
Otherwise
The Shaolin Temple has maintained
its position in the martial world
for a reason.
For many years,
many sects have challenged Shaolin,
how unfortunate for them.
Because Shaolin Temple truly is powerful.
Yes, Shaolin is powerful indeed.
In less than twenty years,
Shaolin has given rise to that guy Qiao Feng.
In the battle at the Zu Sian Residence,
Shaolin sent two of their most powerful monks
along with a large group of disciples to attack Qiao Feng.
But what happened finally?
Not only wasn't Qiao Feng killed,
but he single-handedly killed
countless people!
Let's go,
we can't miss the opportunity to witness this gathering.
No wonder we've seen so many people along the way.
They're all going to Shaolin Temple.
Master, those two guys just now said
there will be a battle at Shaolin Temple.
Master, let's go and take a look.
Alright
we'll go to Shaolin Temple and take a look
if we have a chance to meet with the heroes of the martial world,
we...
Elder Martial Brother, have some tea.
Elder Martial Brother...
Please sit down.
Alright.
I'm the one who's being punished here,
Elder Martial Brother is lowering himself to my level,
how can I accept this?
You've been through so much these past few days, come, have some tea!
The Abbot is ringing the bell,
let's go!
Alright,
Have I committed too many sins?
Please don't exile me from Shaolin!
Amitabha!
Disciples of Shaolin!
The people in the martial world respect Shaolin,
not just because of our powerful martial arts,
but also because of our strict rules,
which are fair for everyone, and everything.
But recently,
one of our disciples has broken the rules,
and tainted the good reputation that Shaolin has upheld for hundreds of years.
How many people do you think are coming this time?
I don't know.
I've heard that they've invited
some leaders from the islands
that have never been asked to come before.
It looks like
the Beggar Clan really intends
to challenge Shaolin.
The Beggar Clan's past leader, Qiao Feng,
was a disciple of Shaolin as well.
Qiao Feng killed a lot of people at the Zu Sian Residence,
maybe he's coming back to take it out on Shaolin.
Don't say that,
Qiao Feng no longer has anything to do with Shaolin.
The Gods and Goddesses of the Cosmos, rulers of Heaven and Earth,
Beyond compare, the world quakes in their presence!
Brother Fung, it's really noisy here!
Ding Chun Chiu.
Where did you find those
crazy people
to serve you?
All they do is stand at your side and praise you,
yet you seem to enjoy it.
I admire you indeed.
Why if it isn't the fool I defeated.
I was wondering who you might be,
not hiding yourself from me.
You still dare to show your face here?
Ding Chun Chiu,
this time around, let's see who the loser will be!
I notice that your bragging skills,
are much better than your martial arts.
Stupid boy.
If I hadn't given you a chance that time,
do you think you'd still be alive today?
Tell me truthfully.
You, Ding Chun Chiu didn't mind losing
half your inner-force and followers
just to give me, Mu Rong Fu, a chance?
If that's so,
does that mean you're thinking of sacrificing a few more
of your followers to give me another chance today?
Shut up!
Amitabha!
Today, there are many things happening in the temple,
we will not be accepting visitors,
please forgive us.
May I ask Sir Monks,
what this temple is called?
Is this your first time in China?
You may not know the name of this temple
but I'm sure you've heard of Shaolin Temple.
So this is Shaolin Temple.
Sir Monks, let me tell you something.
What is it?
After today,
there may not be many people who will
remember Shaolin Temple.
What do you mean?
Shaolin Temple!
From today onwards, the martial world
will no longer know the name
of this tomb!
Heroes,
you're sitting here together discussing martial arts,
how exciting!
I wonder
if I'll have the chance to join you
in your discussion?
Your presence honours us.
I, Jiu Mo Zhee,
pay my respects to the Abbot.
Sir Scholar is here,
please forgive me for not welcoming you personally.
I'm in the midst of handling some internal disputes,
would Sir Scholar please wait in the guest hall.
No need.
I've come from afar,
and internal disputes can be settled
at any time.
I've heard that Shaolin has
72 powerful martial arts forms
which few people have mastered thoroughly.
According to what Sir Scholar has heard,
is there anyone in the world who has
mastered all these 72 forms?
Yes!
Then, let me ask Sir Scholar,
who this hero is?
Whether he's a hero or not,
I cannot say.
Are you talking about yourself?
Yes, I am!
Sir Scholar,
you're not from Shaolin Temple.
The 72 forms include the Almighty Finger,
Transcendent Palm and Perfect Fist
which are taught only to Shaolin followers.
How did Sir Scholar learn them?
I wouldn't dare say.
Please give me your guidance.
The Perfect Fist!
Incredible!
The Transcendent Palm!
San Ru Di Yu '
This is one of the stances of the Almighty Finger!
These aren't part of 72 Shaolin martial arts forms!
They are Carefree Sect martial arts!
I haven't learned them well,
please give me a tip or two.
Sir Scholar is too humble!
Amitabha!
It seems that there are people more powerful than I am.
I have practiced for decades,
but compared with Sir Scholar's skills,
mine are nothing!
Sir Abbot,
don't be so humble.
I have not mastered these martial arts fully yet.
Shaolin martial arts are too deep,
we need to spend more time practicing them.
Amitabha!
Hehe, stupid monks!
Miss Wang!
Younger Martial Brother, look. That boy is only interested in girls,
he's not the least bit interested in the atmosphere on the hill.
He's still running to and for looking for this Miss Wang!
Everyone has his own desires,
you like noisy environments,
he likes girls!
I wouldn't consider this a noisy environment,
look at Master Duan,
now that he's here,
things are about to get more interesting!
Abbot,
the 72 Shaolin martial arts
aren't that powerful,
maybe you should think of
changing the word "powerful"!
Sir Scholar is weird indeed,
but please don't cross the line
In my opinion,
you should just close down Shaolin Temple today.
Let each powerful monk go his own way,
wouldn't that be better than staying in Shaolin Temple,
which only has a reputation for greatness,
but isn't great at all?
Where did this obnoxious monk come from?
How dare you make a mockery of us here!
Shaolin Temple is a good martial arts school,
does Sir Scholar think he can bring Shaolin down based on his skills alone?
Of course not.
I'm only here to see
whether the martial arts in China
are powerful or not.
In my opinion, Shaolin Temple
is no match for the Heavenly Dragon Temple!
As monks, it doesn't matter to us who wins or loses,
so even if Sir Scholar says that Shaolin Temple isn't as powerful as the Heavenly Dragon Temple
or that the Heavenly Dragon Temple is no match for Shaolin Temple,
it makes no difference to Buddha!
It makes no difference to Buddha!
The Head Monk has mastered the Blossom-Picking Finger
very well
Now that I've had the chance to see it,
it is my pleasure indeed!
Master!
Don't use your inner-force!
Sir Scholar's martial arts are formidable!
I am in awe.
Master,
the martial art he used isn't called that,
and isn't one based on Buddha's precepts either.
Boy,
that's the Blossom-Picking Finger.
Monk,
if you say that the Blossom-Picking Finger isn't from Shaolin,
then what is it?
The Blossom-Picking Finger used by Master Yun Ci
is the one based on Buddha's teachings.
You...
The one that you used isn't.
Great martial arts!
Accept this stance from the Transcendent Palm martial art!
This martial art?!
Monk,
the reason I came here
was to see just how powerful Shaolin martial arts are.
I am not skilled in martial arts at all,
I only know the Perfect Fist
and Warrior Claw martial arts.
These are all Shaolin martial arts.
If that's so,
then please step aside.
Xu Zhu,
you are a third-generation disciple.
You are not worthy of challenging the scholar
if this is taken into consideration.
But Sir Scholar has come from afar,
and this opportunity does not come often,
so why don't you use the Perfect Fist and Warrior Claw martial arts
to challenge Sir Scholar.
Yes
Sir Scholar,
please forgive me!
Oh Master,
do you admit defeat?
The Shaolin Eternal Kick?!
Excellent inner-force martial arts!
Why do you only use this martial arts stance?
This stance...
He does know
many Shaolin martial arts stances!
Martial Brother Hui Loon,
where did Xu Zhu learn all this?
I'm not sure!
Shadow Kick!
Dragon Claw!
Yes,
this is the one of the 72 Shaolin martial arts,
Dragon Claw!
Sir Scholar, please stop.
Despite your standing,
you can't even defeat a lowly Shaolin monk,
and even have to resort to using weapons to injure him.
You have no shame at all,
we come to take your life!
Don't kill him!
Yes!
Shaolin Temple doesn't just bully people with their numbers,
but some of them sound like women as well!
So this is how you've maintained
your reputation for hundreds of years.
Now I know!
The rules of Shaolin Temple are strict,
this will be dealt with fairly.
This has nothing to do with Sir Scholar,
you've come such a long way,
please return to your rest house and take a rest
until we've finished investigating this.
Sir Scholar, please!
Xu Zhu has broken the rules by killing, eating meat
and drinking wine,
and is sentenced to 100 strokes of the cane.
Thank you for your mercy,
I accept my punishment gladly.
You dare learn martial arts from other schools.
From today onwards,
you are no longer a disciple of Shaolin.
I don't deserve your mercy,
but please don't exile me
from Shaolin Temple!
You are the leader of the Carefree Sect
and the Vulture Peak Sect,
you deserve to be exiled.
You can no longer be a follower of Buddha.
Shaolin Temple has done nothing but good for me,
I've sinned
and disappointed all of you
as well as my Master.
I will not forget your teachings.
Hui Loon...
Yes!
As Xu Zhu's martial master,
you have not led him
to the path of enlightenment,
and are sentenced to 30 strokes.
I'm guilty,
I accept my punishment gladly.
Master!
I'm willing to take my Master's punishment!
If that's the case,
then Xu Zhu will receive 130 strokes.
Xu Zhu, you are still a disciple of Shaolin now,
but once you leave,
you will be the leader of the Carefree Sect
and the Vulture Peak Sect.
You will no longer have any connection with this temple.
Everyone here must respect him as such.
Abbot!
Warriors from all over the martial world and several martial arts schools
are coming to see us!
Come,
let's take a look!
Stand up Xu Zhu!
All temples are the same,
good deeds are also the same, wherever they're performed,
From now on,
please stay away from evil thoughts and deeds
and do your best to help others.
Go and pack up,
then descend the hill.
Yes!
I wish to be punished
before I leave.
Heroes!
Your presence today at Shaolin
is a great honour to us!
But what brings you
to our humble temple?
We receive invitations from the new leader of the Beggar Clan,
Leader Zhong,
asking us to come to Shaolin
to determine the new leader of the martial world.
Why didn't
the Beggar Clan tell me this
in advance?
Abbot,
I receive the invitation 10 days ago,
I thought this seemed a bit strange,
and therefore thought I should inform you about it.
I used four horses to make this journey
and still couldn't arrive on time!
I received the invitation 3 days ago,
and came as quickly as I could.
But I still arrived late.
No wonder we all reached here at the same time,
it seems those
who are further away received the cards earlier.
Everyone rushed here,
and have only just arrived!
This was all planned by the leader of the Beggar Clan!
Who is this Zhong Zu Sian?
Why isn't he here yet?
The Emperor has arrived!
King Duan Zheng Chun has arrived!
I beg Your Majesty's forgiveness
for not knowing you had arrived...
Abbot
No need to be so polite.
I've disturbed you
without first announcing my arrival,
I'm truly sorry.
Sir Scholar,
why are you still here?
This place is way outside Shaolin territory!
My son is hopeless.
I have yet to thank Sir Scholar for bringing him here
and guiding him along the way!
I haven't say thank you to you
What a pity,
Master Duan!
What do you mean, Sir Scholar?
After Young Master Duan arrived here,
he met a young woman
He is interested only
in courting her after had met her
He has left all his ambitions in pursuit of her.
When the girl goes west,
he follows her west.
When she goes east,
he follows her east.
Taking someone
as irresponsible as him as my disciple
Now isn't this a pity?
This bad boy...
He isn't bad
He is very good
he's exactly like his father.
You bloody monk,
do you want to die?
Where is my son now?
Would Sir Scholar please tell me?
Don't worry Your Majesty,
my younger blood brother is very well.
You've met him?
Yes
Just the other day, my Younger Brother and I
drank until we were both drunk,
then...
Father,
your son is here!
Father,
are you well?
You rascal!
Elder Brother,
have you become a monk again?
Master Duan is here,
so Miss Wang should be here as well.
And Mu Rong Fu should have arrived too!
What did you say?
Master Mu Rong, if you've arrived,
why haven't you shown yourself?
Mu Rong Fu is down the hill
fighting with Ding Chun Chiu
If he survives,
he'll be here shortly.
Go and see for yourself!
Duan Yan Qing!
Miss Wang!
It's too dangerous here.
Let me carry you inside!
I'm not injured
and my nerves are not paralysed,
I can walk myself.
Moreover,
Cousin Brother's martial arts are so powerful,
he'll definitely be able to protect me.
Miss Wang, look!
My father is over there!
He's come as well.
Did your father come here all this way for a purpose?
The two of you
haven't met for some time, right?
Yes.
Miss Wang,
let me bring you over there to meet my father, alright?
I'm sure he'll like you!
I don't want to meet him.
Why?
Miss Wang, look!
My sworn Elder Brother is also here!
Oh,
and my disciple has come as well.
Ding Chun Chiu of the Cosmos Sect
Is the reason for your coming
here today to challenge Shaolin?
Heroes, watch closely,
and witness
how I'll defeat this villain!
Cousin Brother, are you alright?
Are you well?
Shaolin claims to be
the leader of the martial world,
but it seems they don't deserve this title.
Yes,
the Gods & Goddesses of the Cosmos are here
Shaolin Temple and its monks will soon meet their doom!
Of all the sects in the martial world, only the Cosmos Sect is the one true sect!
The rest are deviant sects!
Leader Zhong,
there seems to be a lot of people here,
Seems that
even Ding Chun Chiu and his disciples
are here!
That's right,
and they've brought many of their number here as well.
This is extremely good.
I don't have to waste my time going to his school
and killing everyone there.
Isn't that Purple?
That looks like our daughter!
I can't see clearly,
but it does look like Purple!
Don't be so anxious, let's wait a while longer!
Listen up, disciples of the Cosmos Sect!
According to the rules of the sect,
the person with the most powerful martial arts
is worthy of leading the sect.
The one who lasts the longest
is worthy of leading the sect.
Ding Chun Chiu
has lost to me,
he has gone down on his knees and bowed his head 18 times before me.
Didn't he tell you that?
Ding Chun Chiu,
as the highest ranking disciple in the sect,
how dare you deceive the sect
and its followers?
You Purple bitch,
the leader of the sect is chosen
based on his martial arts prowess.
Based on his martial arts prowess.
Now that you've become the leader of the sect,
that means
your martial arts should be quite formidable.
Purple bitch,
come here and fight me!
I'm challenging Purple,
why are you interfering?
Master!
Fighting before the Gods and Goddesses,
you must really want to die!
Zhong Zu Sian,
you are the leader of the Beggar Clan,
so why aren't you using your clan's martial arts,
but those of our sect instead?
Our sect
is responsible for upholding justice,
so how can you
use such deviant martial arts
in front of all these heroes here?
Are we in the same stream
as the Cosmos Sect?
Yes
Wouldn't it be great if Leader Qiao was here?
You queer Ding fellow,
Leader Zhong is my protector.
You can fight me
only after you defeat him.
It was I who taught him
the Cosmos Sect's martial arts!
Zhong Zu Sian,
if you dare move another inch, I'll kill her!
No, don't,
don't do that!
You don't want her to die?
Leave her alone!
She is a traitor to our sect.
Why shouldn't I kill her?
You already blinded her,
I beg you, please release her.
I will be indebted to you.
I'll promise not to kill her,
if you promise me a few things first!
I promise!
I'll promise you a hundred, no a thousand things!
How can he...
You must become a member of my sect
again immediately!
Yes,
disciple You...
No, I Zhong Zu Sian pay my respects to my Master!
Our sect is the biggest in the martial world,
why do you have to become part of the Cosmos Sect?
That's right,
what sort of person...
Master, don't kill her,
don't kill Purple!
Master,
I'll do anything
as long as you don't kill Purple!
Master
Zhong Zu Sian,
go now
and kill the Abbot of Shaolin Temple!
And kill the Abbot of Shaolin Temple!
But...
But I have no quarrel with the Abbot!
You dare disobey my command?
You're not afraid I'll kill her?
Don't, Master!
I'll go, I'll go!
Listen up, Abbot of Shaolin Temple!
The Shaolin school
is the most powerful school in the martial world,
while the Beggar Clan is the biggest sect.
Now, let's fight to determine who is the greatest of them all!
The winner will be declared as the leader of the martial world,
and the loser must obey the commands of the leader of the martial world!
All commands must be obeyed!
Warriors of the martial world,
if you don't agree to this,
then come and challenge me now!
The Beggar Clan and the Shaolin school
have had a close relationship for hundreds of years.
They've never fought each other.
Why have you come to challenge Shaolin?
Warriors of the martial world, you're all here.
So decide for yourselves whether this is the right or wrong thing to do.
There's one thing I don't understand,
and I'd like to ask your advice.
What is it?
Leader Zhong
is now a disciple of Master Ding,
so that means
you are part of the Cosmos Sect, are you not?
This is my personal matter,
it has nothing to do with you.
The Cosmos Sect
is of a different stream from Shaolin,
so if Shaolin wishes to choose a new leader of the martial world,
it has nothing to do with the Cosmos Sect.
Moreover,
if we wanted to choose a true leader of the martial world,
why would it have anything to do
with a mere follower of the Cosmos Sect?
That's right!
Well said, Sir Abbot!
