"Master, the three youngsters are still outside." "It's already the fifth day." "It's raining heavily." "If they don't go, they'll fall from exhaustion" "Yes." "Ask the masters here for a discussion" "Those 3 guys came for martial arts" "They've knelt outside for 5 days." "Though we dontteach outsiders, they're determined; rules can be changed." "what do you think?" "No." "Great master is still in the chamber." "This concerns temple's reputation." "We ought to take the decision carefully." "You're getting weak!" "Maybe you should go back." "I must learn in Shaolin to take revenge" "I'll stay or die." "Are all the masters here aware of the fact that... we've knelt here for 5 days?" "They know it." "They're having a meeting about it." "Can't be decided till the great master's out." "Sister Wu Mei," "you should meditate with me in the temple because of your student Miao Zuihua," "I'm dealing with Wudong... hopefully to avoid a massacre." "I understand your idea." "I'm afraid that Miao's son, Fang Shi-yu... won't give up." "I've thought about it." "Calamity is sure;" "question is how to avert it!" "Shaolin martial art has to be smooth" "It has got to be all-pervasive" "Not stopping even during tough times" "Now I should go out from chamber." "The great master is out." "Great master, the 3 youngsters are here" "I'm aware of that" "I thought about temple's future inside." "Learning martial art is forbidden by law," "Shaolin martial arts will come to an end" "Soon there'll be huge damnation" "I just realized after the heavy rain though the martial arts here is strong... it's tough, shielding government's attack." "To preserve the shaolin martial art, we have to spread it out to people, so that it won't be lost through time." "To ensure that it carries on... we have to get more outside students." "Hei-xin, open the door of the temple, let the 3 young fellows in." "Great master, if we do this... anyone can get in and out this temple" "This sacred place will be ruined" "We have no choice." "Stand up" "I won't if you don't accept me." "Come in first and we'll talk." "Fong Shi-yu, Hu Hei-gan, Hung Xiguan as students, you must follow the rules you can't go out until you've learnt it all you've knelt outside for 5 days" "You guys are really determined" "Since you've got into the temple, you must toss aside your hatred for now." "If you don't follow the rules, you're out." "Man-yue, lead them to the south garden" "Yes." "Come, let's go." "Dezhong" "Dezhong" "Dezhong" "Miss Yan Yongchuen... is an old friend." "I'm meeting her here." "She'll take us to a fish village nearby" "We'll eat and take a rest." "Yongchuen, they're my good brothers" "Hu Dedi, Li Sekai," "Fang Dahung, Ma Caoxin, Ma Fu-yi" "For the foundation of Lord Zhen, we're the only ones left." "Hiding at miss Yan's village is fine for now" "Where else'd we find shelter in this vast world" "Lord Zhen sent us to contact Shaolin... rebel Qing and restore Ming dynasty" "We can go and stay at Shaolin temple" "I agree." "I've heard..." "Shaolin temple is taking in outsiders" "I think we won't be rejected." "Fu-yi, you don't wish to go there?" "It's not like I have a choice." "I'm just thinking, for those who join the Qing dynasty, they're rich and doing well there." "Ma Fu-yi, what's your point?" "What did I say?" "Were the only ones left to do this." "Don't argue anymore." "Dedi, you know how to get to Shaolin?" "This is quite a good idea." "My teacher Wu Mei is in chamber there." "I can take you there." "Let's go to Shaolin temple." "We've knelt for 3 days, we didn't even see a single monk" "Lin Guanrau, I'm leaving." "It's ridiculous!" "Don't care even if I were made god inside" "I don't think it's easy to get in Shaolin." "Master." "You have to kneel if you want to learn." "Master, do you remember me?" "I've been here and met the great master." "I had come from Taiwan last time..." "Please come in." "They can go in, why can't I?" "They're here to see great master." "We're too." "We want to be his students." "Look at that guy." "Staying in Shaolin temple for 3 years, we became chefs." "careful not to fall in and ruin the food" "aren't you hungry?" "my stomach is rumbling however we can't eat this rice." "Is it poisonous?" "Why don't they just let us in?" "This is to test how determined we are." "Please go back." "We came here to learn." "What's up?" "You need to suffer a lot to learn here..." "Way beyond starving for 3 days." "You can't even tolerate this, don't even talk about martial arts" "Forget about getting in the temple." "You always have good thoughts." "I'm always wiser than you." "Shaolin ten style fist set 5 animals styles are the lethal moves you've done it for some time, show me." "Master" "Master, sorry, I'm late." "Don't come if you're going to be late." "Master, I won't do it again." "Master, I've been here for a long time, but I haven't learnt anything." "Please have mercy on me." "Tiger style." "Crane style" "The 2 styles have lots of variations" "You're not as hard working as he is." "That's enough." "Go make fire in the kitchen." "I haven't got it yet." "Everyone has different potential." "I ask you to light fire, you do so." "Can I get both styles by making fire?" "How do you know you can't?" "When did you come here?" "Just now." "How long have you waited outside?" "I didn't wait." "Fang Shi-yu." "Fang Shi-yu." "Don't be lazy." "Just making fire, why it has to be me?" "Tiger style" "I'd rather be killed but not humiliated" "Please go back." "Master, they're Zhen Chengong's people" "They're wanted and are not yet monks" "Staying here, the government will notice" "You mean we should kick them out?" "Tell them those Zhen Chengong's people" "Change to monk apprentices' clothes" "Yes." "How many people still want to get in?" "Only 3 left." "They're determined." "Hope they're really here to learn." "They all are." "Man-yue, help them to get up." "Yes." "Go, I'd rather die if I can't get in." "Buddha, please have mercy." "We're new here." "I'm fang Shi-yu." "Huang Xonghan, Lin Guangrau, Zhu Dao" "It seems you've suffered a lot." "Finally got my wish answered." "Brother Fang is in the temple." "You must have learnt a lot already." "It depends." "I've been making fire here." "Lin Guangrau, Zhu Dao, go to the library." "Huang Xonghan, go to the kitchen." "Good." "You're my co-worker now." "Learning to be a good chef isn't that bad." "Can martial arts be learnt in library?" "Who knows?" "We're here now; should be okay, I guess" "We'd better get some sleep" "Gotta get up before dawn." "Can't learn anything if you're late." "Taking care of the books is important." "Only one person can be in charge." "I'll teach body-lifting to the other" "Who would like to take care of books?" "Zhu Dao, please give me a chance" "I'll be grateful to you my whole life" "You have to open all the books." "Then, flip the pages constantly." "Do you understand?" "Yes, I understand." "You follow me." "Master, there are no words in the book." "It's just whether you can or cannot see" "I observed you when you just got here" "You've got potential for body-lifting" "Thank you, master." "Tie it on." "It weighs 15 catties each, this is 60 catties iron" "Don't take it off until I say so." "Jump." "Don't stop jumping." "Have you just been making fire all along?" "Not really." "What then?" "Cooking people for eating!" "Can you get out of my way?" "You're so unreasonable." "Nothing is with reason here anyway" "He's not learning anything here." "Don't care about him." "If you don't keep stirring, you'll be hit if the congee gets burnt" "Even masters and Shaolin monks everybody got hit before?" "Really?" "Master, I'm having a hard time here, can you please help me out?" "The congee is burnt!" "Keep turning the pages, don't be lazy." "Turn" "Jump" "Master, I won't be lazy again..." "Don't give me a hand" "Oh my, I won't be lazy again!" "Look, am I doing it right?" "Brother Wu, how to do the crane style?" "What martial art should we learn here?" "Great master knows our potential... and strong points, shouldn't ask me" "I should learn tiger and crane style." "Is it wrong to ask again?" "The rule says we can't teach each other" "You're not a good pal..." "In the garden over there," "Hu Dedi, Cai Dezhong, the 6 guys, they're practicing there, let's see.." "Let's go." "I can't feel my legs anymore." "Are you still going?" "It's the same for me, look.." "You're just drying books, how come?" "I think we're still gaining something." "What are you guys doing here?" "Go on" "What are you doing?" "Don't you want to do martial arts?" "I'll continue practising." "What's the matter here?" "Brother Ma, this is the tiger style" "Don't underestimate it." "Come on." "Stop." "We can do it again if you want." "I'll definitely come" "Admitted that Fang Shi-yu can't beat you" "Someday, you might not be his match" "Good, I'll look forward to that day." "You be careful." "Lets go." "Master, every night at this hour, you'll come and teach me?" "I don't care about him." "I'll be waiting here anyway." "I almost learnt body-lifting." "Where is Lin Guangyao?" "Maybe he left after he was through" "Get down." "Your majesty" "Gu Beizi" "General Shin, how are you?" "I'm good." "It must be tough for you in Shaolin." "It's an honor to work for the king and you." "The king hates Shaolin temple." "I've heard, since last year, they took in lots of outsider students." "The king was angry when he heard." "Yes." "Since last year, lots of outsiders got in." "Even now, there's a group every month." "About 10 to 18 people." "These outsiders, are they good?" "All of them are strictly chosen," "If I want to get rid of Shaolin temple, what do you think I should do?" "For all these years," "I've been thinking about this matter." "Shaolin has a good foundation" "We almost got the whole world why can't we defeat Shaolin temple?" "Gathering the soldiers isn't a bad idea," "But maybe among the monk apprentices, we should have spies." "Also, utilize my status in the temple to go against the smarter ones." "I think it'll be easier that way." "You've been in shaolin for a long time" "I really long to see Shaolin martial arts" "You want to test my ability?" "No, I wouldn't dare to" "Shaolin martial art is great, we have to cleanse them thoroughly." "May I be excused?" "Come and see me whenever there's chance." "Stop there." "Don't chase." "Even if you get there, you won't win." "He'll kill if he's forced." "May I ask who are you?" "You two were monk apprentices before?" "Yes, I'm Hu Dedi." "This is my best friend Cai Dezhong." "I'm Wu Mei" "Master Wu Mei" "Great master asked me..." "To practise here till the right time." "Seeing you tonight is indeed a sign" "What do you usually practise?" "I practise 3-sectioned staff." "I practise fists." "I'll teach you fist and whip set" "But after you've learnt it, you have to work for me." "Thank you, master." "What can I do for you?" "I only had 2 girl students all my life" "Miao Zuehua and Yan Yongchuan" "Miao has followed me for a long time." "Her husband was killed by one of Wudang's men" "They have a son, Fang Shi-yu" "I've heard he is in the temple now." "That's right" "The rules of Shaolin temple are strict." "Hes urging to take revenge, if he disobeys rules in Shaolin, please help him out." "Yes, we will." "Yan Yongchuen is my new student." "Before I can teach her anything," "I was asked to come here." "Yan Yongchuen is my good friend." "Good." "There will be damnation." "Maybe I can't see you after that." "After you leave the temple, you must teach this fist set... to Yan Yongchuen." "Yes, master." "This fist set is designed for girls." "It emphasizes on close attack, can hurt people at close distance." "Even on a small table, they can see who's the winner." "Once your enemy gets close, they can't win over you." "Zhu Dao" "I have something to tell you." "Come." "Yes." "Master, how can I go up without stairs?" "Can't you just jump up?" "Jump?" "I don't know whether I can make it." "Master, I..." "Your body-lifting has got foundation." "Keep practicing" "Till you don't leave any mark on books" "Just put in more force, you can easily jump to the top." "Come, let's go and see Lin Guangrau" "Master, you mean I'm better than..." "He can't win you even without the iron" "Winners can't win everything, losers won't lose it all." "Got it?" "Yes, I understand." "crane style" "I'll challenge Ma Fu-yi again today." "Certainly beat him this time" "The shadow on the wall last night, showed me the whole tiger-crane style" "It's too bad I never know which master he is" "I think you guys are better than me." "They're adding more iron on Lin's leg" "Zhu Dao is even better, his body-lifting is getting higher" "There's no need to talk about Wu Heigan." "You've learnt the tiger-crane style" "It's only me," "I've only cooked for a whole year... and learnt nothing." "Even if I'm bad, that's enough punishment" "You came again, not afraid of being hit?" "How many times have you been hit?" "Not too much, only once a month." "Just 17 or 18 times." "Good, once more tonight." "I'll be hit again." "Stop." "Master." "It's just testing skills, why hit so hard?" "Hard?" "That's nothing." "That's nothing?" "Yes, I was hit 17 or 18 times, every time is like this." "It's only his first time." "Fang Shi-yu, who allows you to misbehave?" "Me, misbehave?" "I fight with him every month, many people know." "Get out!" "If I see it again, you'll be hit and be kicked out of here." "Ma Fu-yi," "I've been watchin gyou." "Follow me." "Yes." "I'm thinking that..." "Ma Fu-yi is sneaky." "It's strange that master Hei-xien... favors him a lot." "Master Hei-xie?" "You said we should follow the flow" "Though Shaolin's foundation is strong, still hard to fight the Qing troops, right?" "Master." "I just need to speak it out." "I think you're not used to the life here, you aspire to luxurious life style, right?" "Good." "There is luxury in front of you, only if you'll do what I say." "Master." "Don't tell this to anyone." "Come here whenever there's a chance," "I'll teach you alone." "Yes." "The last step is called flying dragon" "Good." "Dezhong's fist set is ready." "After it's passed onto Yan Yongchuen, let's hope she promotes it." "She's smart." "She won't disappoint you." "They just told me" "About master Hei-xien and Ma Fu-yi." "I want some advice from you." "You're just too suspicious." "I shouldn't say too much." "Great master understands everything." "Bad time cannot be avoided;" "instead of fighting, just follow the flow" "So, I don't ask and listen much, waiting for the bad time to be over." "Please take good care of yourselves." "Yes." "Huang Xonghan, come to great master's room" "Out of Lin, Zhu, and Huang" "Huang has got the most potential, but he's not calm enough." "So he needs to be trained in the kitchen now, its time." "You should teach him Shaolin staff set" "Yes" "Now, even you're the teacher, he may surpass you in the future." "Great master, you mean I ..." "Shaolin staff is soft yet powerful." "It's hard to get the balance." "For the past 2 years, he's been stirring congee with the staff, like drawing circles he controls his arm very well." "finally, I understand why you did that." "Catch this." "Why did you wake me up at this hour?" "You forgot why we're here?" "Never." "I'm here to learn martial art." "You and me need to take revenge." "I think we learnt enough for that." "I've mentioned about leaving," "But it seems the masters won't agree." "We..." "We'll force our way out." "But... in that wooden men alley, can we fight our way out?" "I don't know." "That's why I'm here to talk about it." "I've made up my mind." "We have to sneak out for revenge." "We can't let anyone know." "Let's do it." "We'll fight our way out tomorrow." "This wooden men alley seems normal." "Once you're in, you'll know about it." "OK." "I'll go in." "You switch on the machine, I'll report." "Who got in the alley?" "Fang Shi-yu, Wu Heigan." "Someone went into the alley." "Must be them who seek revenge and went into the wooden men alley" "Fang Shi-yu" "Lets check it out." "Lets go." "The machine has been switched on." "It seems they haven't done it yet." "It's a sin to enter by force in the alley." "You hide inside the alley with Ma Fu-yi" "Have no mercy." "We must keep them here no matter what." "This is master's order." "Don't hesitate." "One who shows mercy, will be a betrayer." "Hurry up!" "Lead them to hide in the secret passage." "Yes" "Which way should we go?" "We're here already, whatever." "Each of us picks one." "Go!" "U-turn road" "Go back or you'll suffer." "Thanks for the advice, but I need to go out for revenge." "Have mercy, buddha." "What's happening inside the alley?" "Master, please give us advice." "Go back." "Fang Shi-yu." "Fang Shi-yu, you still have today" "Brother Ma, just ask them to return." "I want him to suffer." "Master Hei-xien said that..." "It doesn't matter if we kill him." "Why don't you come and help?" "Go." "Fang Shi-yu, you deserve it." "Watch out!" "Let's block him from the front." "Brother Ma, you want to kill him or are you just following the order?" "What rubbish!" "Master." "How is it?" "Fang Shi-yu, Wu Hei-gan are inside." "Then we..." "Brother Li, Brother Fang, Father Ma" "How about we go in to have a look, too?" "Ok." "Master, please have mercy." "Master, please give us advice." "He wants to kill me." "Entering the alley doesn't deserve death." "There's u-turn road in the alley" "It's to give people a chance to go back." "Shut up!" "You ignore rules of the temple." "Master is powerful in martial art," "Please advise us, we want to help." "Let's go." "Come on" "Little master, I must leave Shaolin." "Why did you bring me here?" "Crawl out from here, you can get out..." "Just near the exit of wooden men alley." "You ask me to crawl out from dog hole?" "A great guy should be flexible." "Besides..." "There's something wrong with Hei-xien," "You can't stay in temple anymore." "Thank you for your advice." "Hit me here with your fist, harder." "Why?" "I have my plan." "Come on, quick." "Run." "Quick." "Go fast" "Fang Shi-yu, time for you to die!" "Though you could get past 8 wooden men," "You can't get through me, the last stage." "I won't die." "Brother Ma, he's not likely to get out," "How about stopping the machine?" "No." "Just let him die in the alley, to warn the people about coming in here." "Master, please advise me." "Fang Shiyu, quickly get out." "Thanks for your help." "See you." "I'm still alive!" "What is this place?" "We're out of shaolin temple." "These men besides Ma Dedi," "All helped Fang and Wu to get out." "Please punish them hard." "OK..." "I'll take your suggestion" "Good." "Each of you, face the wall for 3 months." "Wu Dedi." "Zai Dezhong." "Le Sekai." "Fang Dahong." "Ma Chaoxin." "Zhu Dao." "Huang Xonghan." "I thought master Hei-xin is practicing" "You think it's not fair, do it for 6 months" "Man-yue is also one of them." "No, I'm not." "I forced Wu Hei-gan to see great master" "But he's powerful and good," "He hit me and then he ran away." "It hurts..." "Man-yue, a monk can't lie." "I didn't lie." "You didn't make the right judgement," "Sweep the library floor for 3 months." "Thank you, master." "Little master, it's almost 3 months;" "in these 3 months, I'm bored to death." "They're still on their punishment." "It's good that the new comers talk about... what wu and fang did in Guangzhou." "Little master," "C'mon hurry." "Get a rope and pull me up." "You don't need a rope." "You'll be free if you have no burden." "What burden am I carrying?" "I could hardly walk when I'd got here." "But now, I've almost forgotten" "Master, can I take off the iron tiles?" "Fine" "Huang Xonghan, it's you!" "It must have been tough for you." "Let's go." "Can't stand this place anymore." "I'm here to tell you something." "All the suffering one bears does pay off" "Whats up?" "Fang shi-yu is in his home town" "He killed his enemy Lui Laohu." "Wu Heigan is in Guangzhou." "He's a good fighter there." "Someone might come to check anytime." "Go on" "Tomorrow is the last day anyway" "Talk to you then." "OK." "Talk to you then." "Your majesty" "Everyone here is one of us, you can say whatever you want." "Yes." "The king gave me the Zhennam army, plus Dezhang's best artillery" "If we can't destroy Shaolin temple," "I'll have no face to come back." "The monks will sacrifice to defend," "Can't defend for a long time." "Our army is as fast as lightning" "Won't even give them chance to rest." "Well open the door once the army's here" "The army posted at the front door... will be led by Gu, Qin, Dezhang" "That way the power could be focused" "I'll poison the monks discreetly" "The monks will be too weak to retaliate" "After everything's done," "You'll be appointed as general." "Thank you, your majesty." "Can't tell anyone until we're there," "So that Shaolin won't be prepared." "Yes." "Yes" "What's the matter?" "The other night outside Hei-xins room," "Remember seeing a masked fellow?" "Just a while ago I saw that man again" "It seems they put something in the well" "Could it be poison?" "I didn't see clearly." "Is he master Hei-xin?" "I need to inform the great master." "Master Hei-xin is a senior of the temple." "We're just being a bit suspicious." "How can we tell great master?" "That..." "Just tell the close brothers, watch out, everybody." "What happened?" "Come here." "Many of Qing army soldiers walked past!" "I wonder where they're going." "Let's corner one and ask about it." "Where are the soldiers going?" "You betrayer." "Look at me, I'm just a citizen." "We're going to Shaolin temple." "You liar." "That's not true." "You're not punished yet for leaving you have guts to come here again!" "Master, this is true." "The Zhennam army of 4000 soldiers, led by Manguei king to destroy shaolin" "Qing army is at the bottom of the hill" "I'm afraid they'll attack." "I did know that damnation is inevitable" "Hope I could at least have half a day, so the spirit of the temple can be kept" "Great master, please evacuate everyone" "Shut up." "Great master, one more thing;" "on our way here, we inquired of the troops" "We had heard that, in Shaolin temple..." "There are spies from earlier on." "What are you doing?" "You are the spy!" "Run, quickly" "I'll go in; come after you finish with him of course." "Great master." "The army has got in, we..." "We got poisoned by the betrayers, we lost our power, we'll depend on you." "Be sure to promote Shaolin martial arts" "Spread it wide throughout the country." "I've decided to die here." "Great master..." "I've already decided." "Run, go on!" "Shaolin is finished." "Surrender or die, or you'll end up like this monk." "Have they surrendered?" "So, you're the betrayer, you poisoned us!" "Master, do it, get rid of one more obstacle." "Go." "Get the artillery here." "Yes." "Ma Fu-yi is the traitor." "Don't let him escape" "Go on." "Catch him" "Stay calm, we'll fight our way out." "The general is trapped up there." "Get the archery troop here." "Yes" "After him!" "How heavy are you?" "About 120 catties." "Only 8 iron tiles." "What are you saying?" "If I can't go out, I'll die here with you." "You..." "Shoot the fire arrows" "Run." "Run." "Shaolin is finished," "but the martial art lives on." "We're planning to go back to hometown, heading towards east of Guangdong." "And contacting survivors who escaped this." "We'll go north to make some connections... for the next plan to rebel Qing dynasty." "Let's go."
