Priest White Brows.

"Residence of the Commander"

Hung Man Ting and Wu Ah Biu,

killed Priest White Brows and caused ...

Wu Ah Biu and a number of Shaolin secular followers,

to be put in jail.

This aroused public wrath.

The court then ordered release of Shaolin's followers.

Here's the Imperial decree.

Pursuant to the Emperor's decree.

Commander Ko Chun Chung,

will implement the royal orders.

The rebuilding of the Shaolin Temple,

has now been permitted.

And the first and the second group of Han rebels,

previously convicted of treason will be released,

for the sake of pacifying the public,

the emperor has thus decreed,

Wu Ah Biu.

Commander.

Commander has arrived.

Commander.

Where's uncle?

Upstairs.

"Headquarter of the Clan of the White Lotus"

What do you want?

Greetings to uncle.

Uncle, you must help me.

The release of the Shaolin followers has been ordered,

and they've been allowed to rebuild Shaolin.

I won't be able to avenge my Teacher, White Brows.

I was hoping that you could help me,

destroy them secretly,

before they grow in power.

It'd be no use to uncle and the Clan of the White Lotus

Madam Biu, Siu Ching, court has released the prisoner.

Really?

Madam Biu, Siu Ching,

Man Ting.

Madam Biu.

Not yet married and already so intimate.

What? What are you shouting at?

Madam Biu, the court has released the men.

-Really? -Yes.

Where's my elder brother?

He's been released too.

Brother Tung, put me down here.

Be careful.

Thank you.

Brother Tung, we'll say goodbye here.

My home is down there at the bottom of the hill.

You should be on your way too.

No need to worry about me.

Brother Biu, for our sake,

you've been crippled by them.

We must see you home.

That's right, we must take you home.

They already know that Hung Man Ting and I,

have killed Priest White Brows,

and bear a grudge against us.

They seized the opportunity to cripple my leg.

It's not your fault.

Brother Biu, your leg has been wounded,

because of saving us.

Whatever you want us to do, we will comply.

Right, we will.

As soon as my leg recuperates,

I will join your group,

to destroy these bastards.

Brother Biu, let's separate here.

Take care and see you soon.

See you...

See you...

Sister-in-law, are you alright?

Never mind.

Let's hurry and go.

Are you alright?

Brother Biu.

Brother.

Brother Biu.

I'll be a dad soon.

Brother Biu, your leg...

Never mind, let's go home first.

Brother Biu, let's go.

Brother.

Let's talk about it later, go.

Attack.

Has anyone seen Wu Ah Biu?

No.

Come... cheers.

Come and have a drink.

Drink.

Drink.

Brother Biu.

It's a blessing that we as a family can be together.

Brother Biu, you and sister-in-law are together again.

but Siu Ching and I...

Man Ting, don't worry.

Siu Ching has grown up.

Brother Biu will make the arrangements on your behalf.

If we get married.

We'll become one big family.

Brother Biu's leg is wounded and you are pregnant.

Siu Ching and I can help you out.

Siu Ching, let's drink to Brother and Madam Biu.

Good.

Come.

Siu Ching, go back to your room.

Brother Biu.

Who are you looking for?

That way...

Be careful of the fire.

Sister-in-law.

Hung Man Ting, we are coming to help you.

Brother Wu, what's going on?

It must be the court who are sending people to kill us.

They eat their words, let's fight them.

Mei Ha, are you hurt?

Brother Biu, I'm alright.

Sister, take care of sister-in-law,

we'll fight as we retreat.

We'll get some clothes.

Stop.

It's the retired Chief of,

the Clan of the White Lotus.

Priest White Lotus, Shaolin and your Clan

bear no grudge against each other.

Why are you fighting us?

Have you forgotten that you two killed,

my brother Priest White Brows?

I understand.

So it was Ko Chun Chung who sent you.

Stop that nonsense, Wu Ah Biu, Hung Man Ting.

I am here,

to try out your kung fu.

Suits me fine.

Brother Biu, your leg is wounded,

let me fight against him.

Your Shaolin skills are only good enough to kill fishes.

Is it necessary for me to use a sword to kill you?

You still want to run?

Alright, I'll let you run seven paces.

Go ahead and run.

One, two, three, four, five, six, seven.

Brother Biu, Tiger and Crane style.

Let me.

Tiger and Crane joint attack.

My leg hurts, take your sister-in-law away.

Brother Biu you...

Leave.

Kill them all.

You single-legged crane,

your kung fu is good for nothing.

Your Shaolin fist cannot even touch my clothes.

It's pathetic.

Brother Biu...

Brother.

Take your sister-in-law away.

Take sister-in-law away.

Siu Ching you...

Don't bother about me, I'll avenge Brother.

Hurry and go.

Bitch, where have they gone?

Come men.

Yes.

Look around.

Yes.

Madam Biu, how's Siu Ching?

Let's go back and find her.

There are too many of them.

I'm afraid Siu Ching might have been killed.

Let's hide for a while.

So... where should we go?

I have a relative in the Wai On Town.

Let's go to find him.

Alright, let's go.

Come, have a drink.

Come on...

Uncle, a toast for you.

Come.

Cheers.

I must thank you for your help,

to make this plan a success.

Unfortunately, Hung Man Ting escaped.

Tiger and Crane style didn't harm me at all,

not to mention the single-legged crane was dead.

At least we have avenged your late teacher,

and my brother White Brows.

Yes, that's right.

Uncle, I'm afraid the remaining bastards will...

Don't worry, Hung Man Ting,

is just like his father Hung Hei Koon.

He'll come to us and get killed sooner or later.

You should adhere to the original plan,

and exterminate the Shaolin rebels.

Yes, Uncle.

"Recruitment here for rebuilding of Shaolin Temple"

Amitabha...

Thank you, your grace.

Someone is rendering help.

Thank you, please sign your name.

No need, we're all friends.

Take your tools over there.

That's okay, we've got our own.

Aren't you joining them?

You are...

Go...

Wai On Town.

Man Ting, you go to ask the direction.

Boss.

What's up?

Where's the paper shop in this town?

Paper shop? There it is.

"Pak Cheung Paper shop"

Madam, what do you want?

We're not buying, we are looking for Wu Nai Shing.

Wu Nai Shing? There's no such person here.

He has a long and skinny face.

Scabies on his head.

Ah Shing, "Paper" Shing, ask him to come out.

Ah Shing, "Paper" Shing, Ah Shing.

Come out.

What are you shouting at? What's the matter?

What are you shouting at?

Someone is looking for you.

Sister-in-law.

Brother Shing.

How come you are here?

Where's Brother Biu?

We're in trouble and would like to stay here for few days.

He is...

He's Hung Man Ting the good friend of Brother Biu.

Brother Shing.

You are the one who killed Priest White Brows.

I've heard about you from Brother Biu.

Brother Shing, we'll talk about this later.

Let's go in for a rest.

Alright... follow me, come.

This way.

This way.

Please.

Man Ting, sit.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Madam Biu.

What happened to Brother Biu?

Brother Shing, Brother Biu and Siu Ching,

were killed by the Priest White Lotus.

All the other anti-Ching fighters who were released,

were also killed.

This is fate.

I've already told him not to practise kung fu all day,

or gang up.

Madam Biu, don't be too sad, take care of yourself.

Stay here.

Man Ting can help me out with the business.

I am in charge here, I'll only have to,

tell the boss when he returns and it will be alright.

Thank you.

No need to stand on ceremonies.

Madam Biu, I'll bring Man Ting to the other room.

Man Ting, you sleep on my bed.

Help me clean up this stuff.

I'll go get a board for the bed.

Man Ting, don't press too hard,

you have to bend it slowly.

Priest White Lotus.

Crane's beak.

If I use Brother Biu's Crane's fist,

and complement it with the Tiger fist,

then I can establish the Tiger and Crane fist,

and defeat White Lotus.

Man Ting, have a cup of tea.

Have a cup of tea.

Thank you.

Brother Shing, you've been taking good care,

of me since I came here.

Don't mention it.

I have a request.

What is it?

I hope that you can take the place of.

Brother Biu's Crane Fist when I practise kung fu.

How can that be?

Although I started practising with Brother Biu,

as a child, but haven't practised since I've been here,

and I've forgotten everything.

Don't worry.

My Crane fist is almost as good as Brother Biu.

As long as you are willing to learn it's okay.

Well.

Do you want revenge?

Revenge? Of course I do.

That's good, from today onwards,

you'll start practising Tiger and Crane style with me.

Come.

Powerful enough? Again.

Ah Biu's "Hungry Crane Eats Shrimp" is deadly.

Tiger and Crane joint attack.

Priest White Brows,

died from my Tiger and Crane style that year.

"Tiger Jump and Crane Call"

"Tiger Thrust"

Hung Man Ting, Tiger and Crane stop.

You want to stop, no way.

Get up.

Brother, you've to treat this as the Priest White Lotus.

Treat it as White Lotus?

Crane beak.

Crane beak.

Tiger and Crane joint attack.

I am not the Priest White Lotus.

White Crane on the Lotus.

Now the Crane is in trouble.

Brother Shing, get up.

I can't.

You want to kill me?

Don't hit here. I'm finished this time.

Brother Shing, how's my kung fu?

Fast and powerful. Much better than before.

I practise hard the Tiger and Crane style,

in order to beat the White Lotus.

Man Ting, although your kung fu is good.

White Lotus is hard to deal with.

How can I bear the shame?

I must avenge...

Brother Biu, Siu Ching,

and all the anti-Ching fighters.

Sir, who are you looking for?

I am Hung Man Ting, I am here for the White Lotus.

Please come again some other day.

Chief will not be receiving guests today.

He has to.

Hung Man Ting is here...

Attack.

Priest White Lotus.

Priest White Lotus.

Hung Man Ting.

Ko Chun Chung, the court has reconciled with Shaolin,

but you...

But I have to avenge my Teacher's death.

Brother Wu Ah Biu and I killed White Brows,

but you conspired with the Clan of the White Lotus and,

killed all the Shaolin disciples released by the court.

I am here today to eliminate Priest White Lotus.

Uncle is right,

you'd be digging your own grave sooner or later.

Your Tiger and Crane style is fast.

Hung Man Ting is here.

What's happening?

Teacher, Hung Man Ting is here.

Hung Man Ting?

Ko Chun Chung, let me fight him.

Yes.

Priest White Lotus.

Hung Man Ting, today is the Tuen Ng Festival,

it is the day for my cleansing.

I shouldn't be killing,

but since you are here.

I'll send you to the Sea King(death).

You know Wu Ah Biu's Crane Fist.

You are smart.

Your Tiger and Crane style,

has no effect on me.

Isn't this fun?

You think this is a child's game?

Hung Man Ting, your half-baked Tiger and Crane Fist,

is not good enough to fight me.

Don't bother.

I think you'd better go,

and join Wu Ah Biu in the hell.

Chase.

Chase...

Chun Chung.

Wait.

Stop chasing.

Send someone to follow him and catch them all.

Flower vase.

Look, it's nice.

Mister, buy one.

Please come in.

There're tables inside, please.

Please come in...

Welcome.

Just looking for someone.

Go ahead.

What is it?

Did you see a young man,

dressed in yellow come by?

Isn't he the one who asked,

you to come in just now?

Damn, we've been trapped.

Chase.

How is it?

Man Ting, Madam has already given birth,

you're late with the water.

Look at you, your dress is inside out.

I...

Congratulations...

Is it a boy or a girl?

Congratulations, it's a big fat boy.

I am not her...

Your wife is too weak,

you should give her more tonic to fortify her health.

I've other business to attend to, I'll come tomorrow.

Man Ting, where were you when I gave birth?

Ah Shing was trying to look for you to help out.

I...

Let me tell you.

Madam, Man Ting hasn't told you,

that he went to the White Lotus's place,

and was beaten up by them.

What? White Lotus's kung fu is very good.

You are lucky that you can come back alive.

What's the big deal with White Lotus?

Yet I don't know why,

I couldn't even touch him.

Man Ting is smart already.

He was followed by men of the White Lotus,

he got off by disguising as the waiter.

Man Ting, I've told you before,

that your kung fu is still far behind the White Lotus.

Is my fist not fast enough?

Wait till I recuperate,

then we can discuss,

how we can beat White Lotus.

Stay and help Ah Shing.

You can also help me look after the child.

Really?

Yes, look after the child.

Sister-in-law, let me hold my little nephew.

Crying so pitifully, come.

Be good.

I can't do it anymore.

You have to.

Man Ting, put him down.

You'll kill him.

I'm not beating him, I'm just practising my speed

I feel that White Lotus always manages to elude my fist.

This way you can't ever get close to him.

He's practising a special kind of kung fu.

What kind of kung fu is it?

Get a paper dummy, hit it and you'll understand.

Brother Shing, get a paper dummy.

You better hit the paper dummy, wait.

Coming...

Does this look like White Lotus?

Man Ting, you try

Wait, Man Ting, let me show you.

Doesn't this work?

Good. Man Ting.

The dummy doesn't move a bit however she hits it.

So weak. So powerless.

Of course paper dummy won't move.

Paper dummy is made from paper and bamboo sticks,

and it is light.

The more powerful the punch,

the quicker it retreats.

Madam, what were those,

soft punches and kicks you used?

Women's kung fu.

Man Ting,

your Tiger and Crane style can't beat White Lotus.

Madam, please teach me quickly.

It takes time for a man,

to learn Women's kung fu.

What can I do?

I can teach you,

but you have to do what women do.

Like embroidery, taking care of children.

When your hands are as soft as a woman's,

I'll teach you.

Well...

I agree as long as I can beat White Lotus.

Man Ting, Madam asks you to look after the child.

How come he's crying?

No wonder, just by looking at you,

will make him cry.

Help me to look after him, I've something to attend to.

Don't cry.

Man Ting, you're wrong.

When embroidering your hands must be light,

the thread must be pulled higher.

Man Ting, do you want to kill my son?

Sister-in-law, don't worry.

My nephew gets along very well with me.

That's right, Man Ting is half a woman now.

His limps is soft, you can teach him now.

Alright, I'll start teaching you.

Ah Shing, take the child.

Be careful.

Come over.

Relax.

Hold up your hands slowly.

Softer.

Relax your hands.

Punch softly, don't use force.

Lower.

Head down, get up and try again.

Follow me.

Wonderful.

Sister-in-law, what do you think?

How come your voice has changed?

Maybe he's practised Woman's Fist too hard.

Every thing changes,

if it goes on like this...

Sister-in-law, how am I doing?

Not bad.

You try to go with Tiger and Crane style.

Alright.

How is it? Will my punch still create wind?

Yes, it's just lesser.

Powerful. So much wind.

Still have wind?

Man Ting, you release your power too soon,

you should wait till you're up close to your enemy,

then release your power.

Ah Shing, go further away.

I'll practise with you.

Use your power.

Again.

Sister-in-law.

That's correct, go on.

No...

Gin Jeng, Tien Chi, Jung Kwan pressure points.

The temples, nasal, Fu Te, Tien Ting and,

Jin Mun pressure points.

Man Ting, why don't you fight?

I... sister-in-law.

In order to take revenge,

you have to fight me as if I were the White Lotus.

Although your moves are correct.

But your punch still creates wind.

We can't stop, go on practising.

You are my sister-in-law.

How can I practise with you like this.

Stop the nonsense, come.

Sister-in-law, I'm not practising anymore.

I want you to.

I won't.

Man Ting.

Madam, don't be angry.

You can't blame Man Ting.

Man and woman must keep each other at arm's length.

To fight in every which way,

is against decorum.

Man Ting, you can use...

Ah Shing, come over.

What is it ? Boss.

Today is the tenth day of July.

Southern village supplies needs to be delivered in 3 days.

How come these paper dummies are getting less and less.

The goods were finished,

but they were damaged by cats.

Then ask them to hurry up and make up for the loss.

Yes...

Man Ting, cook the herb medicine for your sister-in-law.

Brother Shing, I am busy right now.

Get someone else to do it.

No, I can't trust anyone else.

You have to decoct the medicine over a slow fire.

Let me take it.

Ah Hei,

Brother Shing... bring me some dummies quickly.

Coming...

Brother Shing, how come there're only a few left?

Are there any more?

No.

Just these few.

Some have been delivered, these are enough for you.

I'm so sleepy, have fun by yourself.

Brother Shing, I've succeeded.

Stop shouting, I'm so sleepy.

I'll go to the Lotus Hill tomorrow.

Do whatever you want, don't bother me.

Man Ting, get up for work.

What did he say to me last night?

Damn.

Man Ting...

Storekeeper, have you seen Hung Man Ting?

He's gone out for a while.

Man Ting...

Wait for me.

Man Ting, where are you going?

To find White Lotus in the Lotus Hill.

Your kung fu...

I've succeeded, I can handle White Lotus.

No, you can't go.

Is sister-in-law alright?

I've doctored the paper dummies,

you used for practising,

because boss wanted me to deliver the goods in time.

Brother Shing, I know you care for me, I appreciate it.

You're afraid that I won't come back.

Don't worry, take care of sister-in-law and my nephew,

and wait for my good news.

You've defeated the Dragon Sword of my guardians.

Your kung fu has progressed greatly.

You bastard.

You have changed sex, what weird kung fu is this?

Embroidery Fist.

Want to deflower me? Not that easy.

We'll see about that.

That's not bad, kid.

You can get close to me,

by using Woman's Fist,

but my fatal pressure point is not here.

Come and look.

It's not here either.

It's not in my ear too.

You think I'm White Brows.

Your fist still can create wind.

"Paper" Shing.

And your skill in hitting pressure points is terrible.

Let me show you how it's done.

Look, this is called hitting the pressure point.

Pressures points are in the muscles.

If you haven't tried hard enough,

you won't be able to hit them.

Kid, don't worry.

I haven't hit your fatal point.

I don't want you to die here,

and foul up my place.

I want you to try my Hundred Steps Soul Catching Fist.

Crawl to the door and die slowly.

You can go now.

Hurry back home.

Man Ting.

Brother Shing, how come Man Ting is still not awake?

We'll have to get a doctor.

Doctor... we don't have the money.

Money.

I've got an idea, wait for me.

Boss.

What is it?

I'd like to have a month's salary in advance.

What?

You just borrowed last month, yet you need ask again?

My sister-in-law gave birth to a child last month.

What is it this time?

Hung Man Ting is wounded seriously,

I need to get a doctor.

Fighting again.

No, Man Ting went to the Lotus Hill,

and was seriously wounded by Priest White Lotus.

Wounded by White Lotus? Why didn't you say so?

Hurry back, I'll be there soon.

Ah Shing, have you got the money?

No.

What are we going to do?

Boss said he would be coming right away.

Boss.

How's Man Ting?

He must have be hit by,

the White Lotus's Hundred Steps Soul Catching Fist.

If he takes another 19 steps,

his blood circulation will speed up,

and the poison will close up all his pressure points,

and that will be fatal.

Luckily I carried him back.

Boss, what are we going to do?

Ah Shing, bring me the needles.

Open it.

Thank you.

This is my job.

Boss, you are...

Like you, I am an anti-Ching fighter.

I'm responsible for liaison,

that's why I'm often not here.

Tomorrow I'll be away for a couple of days.

How about Man Ting?

Don't worry.

Remove the needles after 6 hours.

Take this medicine,

and he'll recuperate.

Open the door.

Coming.

Boss, please.

No need to get up.

How do you feel?

Much better.

Thank you Boss.

No need to stand on ceremonies.

The credit goes to Ah Shing.

I'll be away for a couple of days.

This book on acupuncture,

will be helpful to you, have a look at it.

Brother Shing, see Boss off.

Uncle.

You weren't here a few months, how's your progress?

Thanks to uncle's direction,

I've crushed a number of anti-Ching societies,

but I still can't find the whereabouts of Hung Man Ting.

Don't worry.

He's been hit by my Hundred Steps Soul Catching Fist.

He'd surely die even if he has a strong body.

Uncle, you are really great, even if he doesn't die,

he can't harm you with any kung fu.

Man Ting, have some food.

Come in.

Man Ting, what are you two doing?

Sister-in-law, acupuncture's principles are useful,

and has specific effects on one's body.

If we don't use needles,

but just hit the pressure points with fingers.

There won't be much effect.

It's not easy to remember,

all the pressure points in one's body.

It'll be hard on me if you can't remember them all.

See what you've done.

Come, have some rice dumpling.

Sister-in-law, how come there are dumplings?

Have you forgotten, tomorrow is the Tuen Ng Festival.

Tuen Ng Festival?

Sister-in-law, when you go out tomorrow,

buy me two boxes of embroidery needles.

Embroidery needles? Alright.

What're you doing? Using me as guinea pig again?

Let me tell you, this can cause death.

Don't worry, it's useful to me.

Tuen Ng Festival, dragon boat water.

Hung Man Ting, you're not dead.

Ko Chun Chung, I won't die, you will.

Where's the Priest White Lotus?

Hey kid, why peep on an old man?

Hung Man Ting, no one ever dares to come into my place.

Once you are in, you can't go out alive, come men.

Hung Man Ting.

Whoever is hit by my Hundred Steps Soul Catching Fist,

will die of internal bleeding within 100 steps.

How come you are not dead?

It's simple.

I took 99 steps only.

That's why I'm still alive.

Nonsense.

Old man, this shows that I am,

more powerful than you are.

Kill.

Kid, not bad.

Hiccup? You must be eating too much.

Who taught you to hit pressure points with needles?

I'm not telling you, try another one.

Sorry, I've hit your coughing point.

You...

Never mind, I'll help you stop your coughing.

Old man, there's no point in crying.

You can't pin me dead.

Priest White Lotus, your fatal point,

has finally been hit by me.

Bastard.

Your needle hasn't hit my fatal point.

This time my Soul Catching Fist won't let you go.

I'll kill you immediately.

Old man, don't pretend to be dead.

You've found my fatal point finally.

Your fatal point is here.

Good, I've killed Priest White Lotus.
