We are leaving Shaolin Temple.

I know you are scared.

But I am not.

Because my loved ones are gone,

my family is already lost.

Who wouldn't be scared?

These few days...

I felt just like you...

Shaolin Temple is a happy place.

It has become our home.

Shaolin Temple might...

Meet its end today.

But the spirit of Shaolin...

Every flower and blade of grass...

Its beams and columns,

its bricks and tiles...

Will forever stay in our hearts.

The spirit of Shaolin...

Taught me to persevere and show courage.

To never abandon hope.

I ask you all to live your lives as best you can.

I have a favour to ask of you.

What?

You lead them out of here.

No, no, no.

I have never left Shaolin Temple.

No, no, no.

I'm scared.

You're scared?

Look at them.

They need you.

They are more scared than you.

I...

Let me think...

Fine.

I'll go.

We must distract them.

We must escort the villagers up the mountain.

Jinghai, take the Abbot first.

Jingkong, you lead.

I'll catch up.

- Move quickly!

- I'll fight them with my life!

Quickly!

Move quickly!

Go quickly!

You bastards! Want to destroy Shaolin!?

I'll destroy you!

Cao Man, wake up already.

You must know, you've always had more than you need.

Put it down, discontinue this path.

We are in a war, it has always been like this.

Don't be like me.

I've come to realise my past crimes.

It's time to stop.

Could we not fight?

What do you think?

I yield.

Shaolin Temple?

Shaolin Temple will not be dishonoured.

Buddha is compassionate.

Madam! You can't leave! It's dangerous outside!

Abbot! My child is missing!

My child is missing!

Mama!

Brother.

- Brother!

- Brother!

Quick! Quick!

Brother...

Brother!

- Brother!

- Jinghai...

Brother!

Amitabha.

- Brother!

- Brother!

Brother!

- Brother!

- Brother!

I will stay behind!

You all must deliver the villagers safely!

Abbot!

It's time you woke up...

Hold onto me!

Amitabha.

Evil is borne from the heart.

Repent.

Why?

Uncle...

The temple is gone.

It's okay.

Shaolin Temple is in our hearts.

It will never be burnt down.

Life follows fate.

Fate follows life.

From which we can live at ease.

Here.

Hereon, she will keep you company.

You won't go?

Cao Man is here.

His mistakes are also mine.

Only I can help him.

You've really changed.

I know...

We can't be together again.

But...

I am really happy for you.
