Stop!

Brother Zhi Shan, the Abbot would like to see you

Greetings to Abbot

Zhi Shan, you've been a monk since you were a kid

How long have you been in this monastery?

I came here since I was six, it's been twenty years

For years, monks in this monastery

have practised martial art to resist Qing

but we are short of weapons

The Qings forbid the possession of weapons by people

that's why we have to make them ourselves

I'm now ordering you to go to the Wen Shu Temple

Go and meet Priest Wu Chen

to get the blueprints of gunmaking

and steelwelding

Do you think you can manage this task?

I'll do my best

Good

Wu Chen was an exMing general

He's very good at kung fu

You can stay and learn from him

I will!

Brother Zhi Shan

We students from Shaolin aren't allowed to leave freely

This time Abbot ordered you to the Er Mei Mount

You're lucky to have the chance to move around

to get some experience

People in the martial arts world are crafty

There are pitfalls everywhere, you must be very careful

Brother Fei Wen is right

but man is by nature kind

Otherwise,

Buddha wouldn't have come to save us

Do you have Abbot's letter with you?

Yes!

Brother, please!

Take care

Goodbye

Master, haven't seen you around here at Mt. Er Mei

May I ask where you are from and where you're headed?

I am from Shaolin Monastery at Song Shan

and have to go to Wen Shu Temple to see Priest Wu Chen

What a coincidence. Wu Chen happens to be my uncle

Across this mountain is the Wen Shu Temple

Thank you Madam! Please!

I don't know you, and this path is precarious

I must be on my guard against your sudden attacks

I know abbot's requirements

The weapons drawings he wants

would take at least 3 months to compile

You stay here first. I'll get it done as soon as I can

Thank you!

What else did the abbot want you to do?

He said you excel at martial arts

and wants me to learn from you

That's laudable

I'll take you as my student

Teacher, my respects!

Good!

Dao de

Yes

Take Zhi Shan to the guest room

Yes!

Since the Shaolin Monastery is dedicated to

expel the Manchurians

its kung fu must be extraordinary!

Everyone in the monastery is busy practising

How many years have you practised?

I joined at six and am twenty six now

So you have practised for twenty years

You must be peerless

May I venture to match blows with you?

Brother Feng, why did you

use such a fatal maneuver?

That's what I've learnt

You'll recover after a month's rest

I admit I've not mastered kung fu

Some day

I'll meet him again

Brother, it's your own fault

I saw you used a devastating technique to attack him

He hurt you only out of selfdefense

It wasn't intentional, please excuse me

Zhi Shan, don't blame yourself

This is my younger brother Bai Mei

whojust returned from his tour

He got some Shaolin news from the court

which may interest you

The Court has found out about Shaolin

secretly indulging in martial arts

and making weapons

Those from Shaolin have been classified as rebels

and yet you have retained a Shaolin monk here

I don't think it's right

What do you mean?

Shaolin is committed to expel Manchurians

That is a heroic act

we should all contribute our part

If you want to be friends with rebels

I have nothing to say

Brother, to each his own

From this day we go separate ways

There must be some truth in this news

from brother Bai Mei

I'll inform Shaolin Monastery

For the meantime concentrate on your kung fu

Yes!

You have practised kung fu at Shaolin for years

what are your specialties?

DragonVanquishing Palm

Iron head

And SingleFinger Meditation

You have been practising hard style kung fu

but now you should work on your inner powers;

This transcends all kung fu

For Chopping, exhale from the abdomen

Strength is exercised from the palm

Once you master it

you can break the jars

For Iron Head, practise neck strength first

Exhale and focus all strength towards the head

Guang Yuan

Yes!

Dan Tian Gang

Yes!

Yue Ying Qi

Yes!

Monks in the Shaolin Monastery are conspiring to rebel

What have you found out about it?

We have sent someone inside, posing as workers

it's confirmed they are practising kung fu in secret

and have treacherous intentions

Why haven't you wiped them out?

There are underground secret chambers

We must not arouse their suspicion

I order you to wipe them out in 3 months

failing which you'll be beheaded

Troops of He Nan are at your disposal

Yes

I'm grateful for your instructions

in this half year, sir

You've assimilated everything well

and have made remarkable progress

Keep on practising after your return

Yes!

Keep well the

weapons drawing

Yes. Please go back, I'll take your leave

Zhi Shan must pass here

on his way to Shaolin today

When he does so, I'll teach him a lesson

Brother Zhi Shan is a gentleman

it's your fault too that day

Why are you doing this?

I don't want the master to blame us

Go away if you're afraid

Uncle Bai Mei has said

we are free to kill Zhi Shan

What a coincidence we meet here

Brother Feng, I am returning to Shaolin

So you have learnt our Er Mei kung fu

and want to return to Shaolin to show off

Why do you say this?

Teacher said learning kung fu is just for defense

this is the only purpose

I want to see if you could defend yourself

Shaolin Monastery is full of secret tunnels and cells

you've sketched it well

Thank you, Mr Li

We have two spies staying in Shaolin

for half a year

Until today we've found out the layout of the monastery

I hear their rules are strict

and monks are not allowed to leave

Yes, I was instructed to buy foodstuff today

that's why I could come here

Mr Li

Yes!

Tell them to prepare dynamite

and hide it all inside the food

Let them bring back to the Monastery

Yes!

Pick out 400 elite for this duty

after eradicating Shaolin, they'll be promoted

Yes!

Return to Shaolin first to help us there

Go back, hurry!

Yes

Some men are here

May I ask why are you here

at this late hour?
