This boy's father is one of these people here.
Why don't you point him out?
No!
Why did you leave so many burn marks
on the back
and buttocks of your son?
I don't know!
You've wanted him to be a monk
ever since he was born, didn't you?
No, that's not it at all!
I beg you,
don't ask me again!
Don't ask me again!
You don't want to tell us, but I know who it is.
Because this boy's father
is a well-respected monk!
Mother!
Son, let's go now,
let's not take our revenge.
Let's just go!
Wait!
I haven't finished talking!
Aunt Yap, don't you want to know
why I took your son away from you?
This is because someone else took my son
and caused my family to break up.
I did it for revenge.
Someone took away your son?
You wanted revenge?
Yes,
I kidnapped your son
and left him in the Shaolin vegetable garden.
I let the monks there raise him
and teach him martial arts.
This is because my son
was also taken from me
and taught martial arts in Shaolin.
Do you want to know who I am?
Who is this guy?
Why does he look like Siew Feng?
Who are you?
Who are you, really?
Siew Yuan San!
You're Siew Yuan San?
You're my father?
That right, my son
I am your father.
Give that to me.
Yes!
"This is the end of Siew Yuan San's message"
My son,
when I tried to kill myself that fateful day
I didn't imagine that I would be saved by a tree branch. It broke my fall
and I survived.
After this happened, I no longer feared death,
there was only revenge in my heart.
That day, outside the Yan Gate,
a group of warriors with powerful martial arts
killed your mother who knew no martial arts at all.
My son,
is this not a good reason for revenge?
They cannot be forgiven, we must have our revenge.
Feng Er,
I've killed most of those
who were involved in murdering your mother.
Wang Jian Tong died from an illness.
He got off lightly.
Now there's only the leader left.
He's alive and well,
and is here today.
Who is he?
Show yourself!
Feng Er,
that day, your mother and I
were bringing you
to see a relative.
But we didn't expect that while passing the Yan Gate,
we would run into a group of warriors with powerful martial arts.
They killed your mother.
The Sung and Qi Dan kingdoms are constantly at odds with each other,
it's natural that there would be much killing between them,
but these people ganged up on me.
Feng, do you know the reason for this?
I heard Reverend Zhi Kuan say
they were misled into thinking that the Qi Dan
wanted to steal some martial arts tomes from Shaolin.
So...
At that time,
I had no intention at all of taking any tomes.
They framed me.
Fine,
so I did what I had to do.
You all framed me for a crime I did not commit,
I couldn't just stand there and take it.
I hid in Shaolin Temple for 30 years
and studied all your tomes.
Monks of Shaolin Temple, listen to me all of you.
Kill me if you think you can.
If not,
the Liao will soon learn
Shaolin martial arts.
When this person killed my mother then,
it could still be considered a misunderstanding.
But later, he killed my foster parents,
and ruined my reputation.
Who is this person?
Father, please point him out.
Feng, this time, you're mistaken.
I'm mistaken?
Yes,
I killed the Qiaos!
What?
You killed them!
The person I was looking for
was you!
That means the person who burned down the San residence
and killed the Thams
as well as Zhao Qian Sun, was you?
Yes, I did all that.
They all knew the identity
of the one who killed your mother
at the Yan Gate,
but were still trying to protect him.
They refused to reveal his identity to me.
Feng, don't you think they deserved to die?
Feng, do you know,
I disguised myself as you to kill them.
Son, this was to show
that the two of us were taking revenge for your mother.
Reverend Yun Ku of Shaolin
spent the last 10 years
teaching me martial arts.
I owe him my success,
yet you didn't show him any mercy!
They are all cunning and cruel,
they can't be trusted.
I was the one who killed Yun Ku.
Amitabha!
The people who killed my wife
and took my child away
included a leader of the Beggar Clan,
and powerful warriors from Shaolin Temple.
They hid their sins away from the eyes of others,
made my son a Han, made him learn from the enemy,
and made him the leader of the Beggar Clan.
Feng, those people
did us wrong,
is this not cause enough for revenge?
You killing them
is the same as me killing them.
I've been burdened by a bad reputation for so long,
now it looks like I deserved it.
Have you found out
who the leader is?
Of course I have.
He destroyed my family.
If I killed him just like that,
it would be too good for him.
He is Xu Zhu's father!
Aunt Yap,
who is Xu Zhu's father?
If you don't tell us,
I will.
After hiding in the Shaolin Temple for 30 years,
there's nothing that I don't know.
The two of you met in the Zhi Yun Cave,
he asked Grandma Qiao to be your midwife.
Do you want me to go into even more detail?
Please don't tell them!
Don't!
No!
Hero Slew,
please be merciful,
let him go.
My son is good friends with yours,
and have become sworn brothers.
He is renowned in the martial world,
and is already old.
Instead of killing him,
why don't you kill me!
I'm begging you, I'm begging you!
Amitabha!
What's happened has happened, and cannot be hidden forever.
Xu Zhu, come here!
Don't!
Xu Zhu,
you've been in this temple for 24 years,
but I never knew
that you were my son!
Abbot Yun Ci, so you admit it at last.
Mister Siew,
you were separated from your son for 30 years
and were unable to get together
but you know he was renowned in the martial world,
skilled in martial arts,
and the most powerful warrior in the martial world.
I see Xu Zhu every day,
but I've never known that he's my son.
Don't say anymore, don't say anymore!
Er Liang,
I'm guilty of this sin,
there's no point regretting it
or covering it up any longer.
I've burdened you
for these past few decades!
You're the one who has been burdened...
Hero Siew, I am guilty
for what happened outside the Yan Gate.
You killed the people
who knew this secret.
Today, it's not too late
for me to kill myself.
Abbot Yun Ci, you deserve to die,
but I have nothing but respect for you as an abbot,
so I am willing to fight you!
Abbot!
Mister Mu Rong Bo!
That day, you gave us false news,
you said Siew Yuan San was coming to Shaolin Temple
to seize our martial arts tomes.
You are the cause of all of this,
do you not regret your actions?
Amitabha!
Abbot, you recognised me.
You are great indeed.
Father, you're still alive?
Father,
did you fake your death
for the sake of the Yen Kingdom, and to protect our family?
Yes!
Mister Mu Rong Bo,
we were friends for a long time.
All the while, I had nothing but respect for you.
I never suspected that you would deceive me
when you told me the news that day.
After killing those innocent people,
I never heard from you again.
I heard rumours that you were dead.
I was very upset.
I never imagined you... Aiii...
Mister Mu Rong Bo,
only after you gave advice to your son
did I find out
that your family is of the the Yen royal lineage.
You are ambitious
so now I understand
why you sent me that false news.
Your plan has not borne fruit,
but instead caused the death of an innocent!
There's still a chance it could succeed!
You Mu Rong bastard, you're the cause of all this.
You will pay for it with your life!
Father!
Heroes,
I know you
wish to see me dead.
But I have to take revenge for my mother.
I will kill that evil bastard
and return to challenge you.
Brother Fung, let's go in and find Young Master.
Let's go and help our Master!
Stop them!
Miss Wang!
What?
Shaolin is a holy place, not an arena.
Please don't enter here!
Nonsense!
No!
I don't think this is a holy place at all,
but a place to raise illegitimate children!
You!
Stop!
I have broken the rules of the temple,
and ruined its reputation.
According to the rules of the temple,
how should I be punished?
Don't!
No!
Stop!
Every place has its own rules.
A good reputation is maintained
not because nobody breaks the rules,
but because those who do are justly punished.
The Abbot is going to punish himself!
All of you, please wait awhile!
I, Yun Ci have broken the same rules
as Xu Zhu.
But as the Abbot, my punishment should be doubled.
Punishment executive
I will be caned 200 times.
This has to do with the reputation of the Shaolin Temple.
It cannot be taken lightly.
Abbot!
I cannot ruin the reputation
of the Shaolin Temple!
Yes, punishment executive
begin the punishment!
Stop beating him!
Step aside! Step aside!
Stop beating him!
Please, no more beating!
Stop beating him!
I'm guilty, I'm willing to be punished!
Er Liang!
You are not of this school,
how can you be guilty?
Continue the punishment!
The punishment is complete.
Mother!
Father!
Mother!
Abbot!
Who?
Siew Yuan San
are you going to join forces with your son,
or fight me life and death
by one on one?
Our revenge runs deep,
one of us must die.
This isn't about seeing who's martial arts are more powerful,
so we will join forces to attack you,
and kill you.
Amitabha!
Mister Mu Rong,
when I heard that you were dead,
I felt very sad indeed.
Now I know you faked your death as part of a strategy.
I feel glad meeting you again today.
I faked my death for the sake of my country and my family.
Sorry for worrying you.
Not at all.
I enjoyed my time studying martial arts with you.
I was fortunate to have your guidance.
You also taught me
the 72 Shaolin martial arts styles.
The 72 Shaolin martial arts styles.
I am eternally grateful to you for this.
Just now Mister Duan fought my son,
what an exciting battle that was.
It is indeed the best sword style.
They wish to kill me.
Sir Monk, what do you think?
We're good friends,
do you think I'd let you face them alone?
Today, either you or I will die.
Let's fight!
Mu Rong in the South, Qiao Feng in the North.
How true!
Brother Siew, I have a few things to say,
will you listen?
Don't think I won't have my revenge
after listening to what you have to say.
Three of us against the two of you,
who do you think has a better chance of winning?
You, of course.
The two of you are very powerful, and aren't afraid of anyone.
But it's not that easy to kill me either.
Why don't we make a deal.
I'll let you take your revenge,
but the two of you must promise me one thing.
What tricks are you up to this time?
If the two of you promise me,
then you can have your revenge.
I won't fight back and am willing to let you kill me.
Sir Scholar and my son won't help me either.
Let's rest awhile!
No, let's keep on going!
Let's not run into Duan Yan Qing.
Mother, I need to go to the bathroom!
Let me go with you!
I can go myself, thanks.
Be careful, Purple!
I'll be alright!
Where's Duan Yu?
I saw him,
he was chasing after Miss Wang.
Oh no, it's poisonous!
Brother Zhong!
Miss Purple!
Brother Zhong, I'll help you,
but you have to do as I say.
Alright!
But... my leg's broken.
That's alright, I can carry you,
all you have to do is tell me the way.
What... but how?
Purple
This way!
Brother Siew,
where is Mu Rong Bo from?
Father, let's just kill him.
What has that got to do with anything?
Fine.
My son, where are we from?
We are the Mu Rong family from the Yen Kingdom,
Once upon a time, the Yen Kingdom was very powerful.
We conquered many territories.
But our enemies were too cruel,
and brought the Yen Kingdom to ruin.
I named you Fu.
What does that mean?
You wanted me to remember
the lessons of the past generation.
To destroy the Sung dynasty, and re-establish the Yen Kingdom.
Bring out the heirloom of the Yen Kingdom,
and show it to Hero Siew.
Yes!
Bring out the Yen Kingdom's book of lineage
and show it to Hero Siew.
So you're
the descendants of the royal family of the Yen Kingdom.
Forgive me for not knowing your royal ancestry!
Our kingdom is gone, but we still live on.
This is already fortunate.
But it is the wish of our ancestors
that our kingdom be re-established.
I don't have the ability.
Even after spending half of my life doing it,
I still have not succeeded.
Brother Siew, is my intention
to rebuild the Yen Kingdom
reasonable?
Those who win become kings, those who lose are exiled.
Whether it's reasonable or not doesn't matter.
Rightly said, Brother Siew.
To rebuild the Yen Kingdom,
we must wait for the right opportunity.
I have few followers,
and aren't at all powerful,
it's not easy for me to rebuild an entire kingdom.
The only way to do it would be to throw the world into chaos
and war.
So you send the false news
so that Sung and Liao would go to war?
Yes, if Sung and Liao started fighting,
the Yen Kingdom would have a chance to re-establish itself.
That's right!
If Sung and Liao went to war,
not only would there be a chance to rebuild the Yen Kingdom,
but this would benefit Tu Bo as well.
Your son has full control of an army.
If you ordered your army to the south
to conquer the territories north of the Huang He,
you could build your own kingdom,
or have riches beyond your wildest dreams.
Then you could also easily destroy those warriors from China
who dare oppose you,
and take revenge on the Beggar Clan
for exiling you, wouldn't that be good?
You want my son to serve you,
and help you in your plan
to re-establish the Yen Kingdom?
That's right,
I could raise an army
to serve under the Liao banner
and also incite Tu Bo, Xi Xia and Dali
to join forces
and attack Sung.
And attack Sung.
This wouldn't be difficult for me.
The Yen Kingdom
will not take over any Liao territory,
this will benefit Liao as well,
so why wouldn't you do it?
Brother Siew, if you promise me this,
you can kill me
and avenge your wife.
I will not stop you.
Mister Mu Rong Bo,
if you die just like that,
it will be harder for the Yen Kingdom to be rebuilt.
Sir,
your death wouldn't be worth it!
You're wrong!
Brother Siew, you've been in hiding all these years,
and rarely show yourself in the martial world.
But you are renowned
as someone who keeps his promises.
Brother Siew, you willingly put yourself in danger
to help a girl you hardly knew get treatment at the Zu Sian Residence.
Therefore, I hope that we can join forces to challenge Sung.
I have been awaiting this chance for so long,
this is my best opportunity.
How can you make my mother's revenge
a part of some sort of deal?
I will have no part
in this immoral act.
I will have my revenge.
If I can't kill you here today,
even if the both of us die here,
I wouldn't mind!
I've heard that Hero Siew was extremely powerful,
knowledgeable and intelligent,
but from this meeting,
I realise that you're nothing
but a coward.
How hilarious!
Whether I'm a hero
or a coward,
I will not be used by you.
I will not help you kill.
You are paid by the Liao government,
and hold an important position there,
yet all you think about is revenge,
and never about serving your country.
You have done Liao wrong.
Do you see
the people of Sung and Liao killing each other?
Do you see
families in Sung and Liao in a state of chaos?
They haven't been at war for a long time.
If there is a war,
how many Sung citizens will die?
How many people in Liao will die?
We will be sacrificing countless lives
while you take this opportunity to rebuild your Yen Kingdom.
I'm loyal to the Liao Kingdom,
and will do everything in my power to protect its inhabitants,
not kill people
to show that I'm contributing to my country.
Amitabha
Hero Siew is virtuous indeed,
and shows concern for all people.
You are truly merciful.
Any luck?
Found anything?
No!
Let's look there!
When did you start hiding here?
You're asking me when I started hiding here?
Yes, I'm asking you!
I don't remember,
42 years,
maybe 43 years.
When Hero Xiao
came to secretly study the tomes for the first time
I had already been here for decades.
Are they there?
No!
What about you?
No!
Let's continue looking!
Yes!
Then, Mu Rong Bo came.
You come, I go,
leaving the tomes in a mess.
I don't understand why.
How come I've never seen you?
You were concentrating on
studying those martial arts tomes.
You noticed nothing at all.
Of course you never noticed me.
I remember the first book you read
was the Shadowless Finger tome.
At that time, you had just become deviant,
such a shame!
How do you know this so well?
The second time you came to borrow a tome,
you studied the Transcendent Palm tome.
By that time I knew
you had become deeply deviant,
I couldn't bear it
so I put two Buddhist tomes
in the place
from which you usually borrowed the tomes.
I hoped that you would take them and read them
but you only wanted to study martial arts,
and ignored the teachings of Buddha.
You left those two religious texts there
and went to look for a tome called the Demon-Banishing Fist.
Then you left in good spirits.
Having become so deeply deviant,
I wonder when you'll be able to find the true path again?
Mister Mu Rong, you are from the Yen Kingdom,
but you've been here for so long,
I thought
you would have been influenced by the culture here.
I would never had thought that upon entering this library
you would leave behind all the teachings
of the monks and our ancestors.
But you forgot all of that
and went looking for a tome called the Zhang Hua Style.
You looked like you had struck gold and left happily.
It's funny enough for people who
bought cupboard using a pearl
The two of you are powerful people,
yet you are still prone to doing stupid things.
