TEMPLE FOR FULLFILLING YOUR WISH

Tian Bao, now that you are a monk, you must obey the rules.

You mustn't kill or eat meat.

Master, l have never eaten any meat.

You were born to be a monk.

lt's just that my family's too poor to afford meat.

- I have always wanted to try it. - What?

- Master. - This is our new student named Tian Bao.

This is Jun Bao.

He will be your senior. The Shaolin Temple has very strict rules.

He'll teach you. You must always obey your senior.

Jun Bao, teach him how to recite the Book of Buddha.

- Which part, master? - I thought you onIy knew one part.

I'll teach you everything, my junior.

l'm taller and older than you. Why do l have to call you "Senior?"

I don't know. Just do it. These are Master's wishes.

Oh, yeah? Well, I'll only call you "senior" in front of others, but when

no one's around and they can't hear you, you call me "Senior," understand?

- Do you want to be senior or not? - sure!

There's no one around, so call me senior.

Okay, senior.

Good boy.

- Let's study. - Let's play!

Let's practice the 36 stances of Shaolin Fist.

"The Hands!"

"Dance of the Phoenix"!

"Behold, the Golden Rooster"!

"The Dragon's sword"!

Jun Bao, my junior, come here.

Hey, don't call me "Junior" in front of the others.

They're way over there. They can't even hear what we're saying.

I guess you're right.

"The Wild Goose Glides Along the Beach."

- "The Leopard Leaps"... - Wow, if I were given the chance

to try kung fu, I'd be a whole lot better than that.

We'd have to get permission from our master.

"The Octagon Transforms Itself."

What did you hit us for, idiot?

What are you two doing Iooking around here?

I'm senior to you both. I can hit you any time l like.

Oh no, you can't.

Tian Bao, are you okay?

You can't spy on our secret kung fu!

- Hey, come on, let's go. - We'll tell our master!

Go ahead. It's no big deal.

My master's senior to yours.

Master, this will keep the sunshine off your head.

Everything has a life including the plants.

We mustn't damage the life of another

just for our own gain.

This is too selfish.

- Do you understand? - Yes, Master.

I understand perfectly.

Even if the sun is burning down on you,

I won't do anything at all.

Master, l want to learn kung fu.

Why do you want to learn?

- To have a heaIthy body! - To learn to fight!

Be certain that this is what you really want.

- lt's what we want. - lt's what I want.

You must use kung fu

only for helping others.

- Do you understand? - I understand, Master.

- Take that! - Who's there?

What are you doing? I'll teach you a good lesson!

Come on, give me a hand!

I'll keep him covered.

Go to hell!

I know who you are!

- How do you know I'm Jun Bao? - Because you just told me.

TEMPLE FOR THE STUDY OF TAOISM

Real smooth move. This is all your fault.

You're a stupid idiot, you know that?

Well, he said he knew who I was. How did I know he was lying?

How could you believe him?

Now you see the mess you've dragged me into?

- l'm really hungry. - so am l. l'm starving.

- This is really too much. - Master!

I told you to practice kung fu to help others.

Instead, you've used it to fight. You have shamed me!

- Beating a senior student. - But, Master--

You keep quiet. I'll teach you a good lesson.

Master is too lenient, making you kneel for only three hours.

- Confess your transgression! - Can I have a red bean bun?

A plain bun will be good enough.

After this, you still have to clean up Luo Han Hall.

This is your fault too. Master had to give us a punishment,

so now we have to clean Luo Han Hall by ourselves.

Just think of it as punishment

for the time you burned that rat and didn't get caught.

"The Fairy Cometh!"

"The Dragon Shows Its Might!"

I'd like to see how you do your kung fu moves

fighting with a pole now. Can you show me?

It's very simple.

"The Fairy Cometh!"

"The Dragon Shows Its Might!"

"The Invincible Move!"

And this one's called "Knocking Your Head!"

Hey! Now you're playing your damn tricks on me again!

You're too slow. Watch your head!

- Jun Bao, well done. - Tian Bao, you gave in to me.

Master always says we should help others with our kung fu.

- Who can we help here? - We can help ourseIves.

I want to be number one at Shaolin.

- When will l ever achieve that? - You're being too naive.

You need a lot more skill and training to be number one.

You have to learn how to beat the 1 8 Bronze Men.

And then there are the wooden warriors.

Remember that.

Hey, you'd better get up from there! Don't Iet anyone see.

Don't worry about it. No one's gonna see me.

Well, I don't care. Don't just sit there.

- Just get off and sit on the ground-- - Hey!

Now look, you messed up Master's seat!

You're the one messing around with it.

I'll have to tell on you.

What, you think you can get away with that?

Every blow of the Shaolin Fist must be forceful.

Each move is a surprise to the enemy.

It must be swift as the wind.

These are the basics of the shaolin Fist.

You must be steadfast in every situation.

- What? - Look!

- What's going on? - Who did that?

- Why is that? - I told you before,

it must be infected with termites, right?

Careful, don't eat them in the rice.

To achieve the highest level, your body must be as hard as steel.

What's that? Is the bed collapsing now? Calm down.

Go to sleep. We have to practice iron palms tomorrow.

Watch my sword, Jun Bao!

You need more practice. Your arm's not strong enough.

strike first to prevent attack.

so much for practicing.

Look, our clothes are tattered.

The Luo Han monks will laugh at us.

Well, we'll just tell them that we over-washed them.

I told you we should wash them ourselves.

- Ours are okay. - I saved the best for us.

Good morning.

What happened to the others?

I believe that the rats did it.

So many rats and termites these days.

Go do something about them.

- Where can we find termites and rats? - We'll say the birds ate them.

Your kung fu is great!

Thank you. It's nothing.

Here you go.

Tian Bao, you're the greatest of us all!

- That's right, you're sure to win. - You're great too. Enough?

- Yeah. - Here's the rice.

Oh, yeah! Wow!

Whoa!

Maintain a steady stance!

- Got it! - You eat first!

He threw rice at me!

Well, I slipped, that's all.

I'm the one who did it. Go and tell your master.

My master is the judge of the kung fu contest.

I'll make sure you won't get promoted to Da Mor HaII.

Let me go!

I swear, I'll beat that guy.

1 2, 1 3--

l did that one. The competition for promotion into Da Mor Hall

will be soon. Do you think you'll make it?

I'm not worried. l've practiced. It's up to fate to decide.

Fate to decide?

l want to make sure that l'm number one.

That's why I practice so hard.

Hey, how many bricks have you cracked?

- 1 7. - 1 8!

Have you practiced cracking bricks on the back of your head?

No, I haven't.

Their movements are different.

Buddhist Palm!

The key is in how you breathe.

Today, we are going to decide

who is going to be promoted.

The four best will be promoted to Da Mor Hall

to further their studies of advanced martial arts techniques.

Remember, the purpose of kung fu and practice is to help people.

Contestants must restrain themselves during the contest.

Now, is that clear?

The first round-- Tian Bao...

and Xin Bao!

I'll teach him a lesson.

Greetings and respect.

Begin!

Try this one!
