The story begins at the Imperial Palace, where an official hastens out after an audience with the emperor. He is hurrying to rescue his colleague and friend who has been framed by Lord He Suo (Yu Cheng-hui), and sentenced to death.However he is too late; his friend is executed before he can intervene. He confronts Lord He Suo, and is killed as well.Many years later, the children of both victims have grown up. One is Zhi Ming (Jet Li), who was taken to North Shaolin by his mother. The other is Sima Yan (Huang Qiu-yan), who took refuge with her uncle Fa Ren at South Shaolin.One day, news spreads that officials from all over the country are going to congratulate Lord He Suo on his upcoming birthday. Simultaneously, Zhi Ming and Sima Yan make plans to use the occasion to take their revenge on the man who killed their fathers.Fa Ren’s worried about Sima Yan, so he asks the best student in South Shaolin, Zhao Wei (Hu Jian-qiang) to help her out.During the birthday celebrations, He Suo’s defenses are slack. Zhi Ming seizes the opportunity and draws his dagger, but Sima Yan arrows get there before him. However, Lord He Suo’s guards shield him from the arrows and the assassination attempt fails.In the ensuing fighting, both Zhi Ming and Sima Yan manage to escape with Zhao Wei’s help. Eight kung fu experts are sent after them. As the exit from the city is blocked, Zhi Ming takes Sima Yan and Zhao Wei over the Great Wall, then down to the nearby river.Finally they reach safety and Sima Yan resumes her female attire. Both men are stunned by her beauty and Zhi Ming notices a silver bangle she wears on her ankle which is the same as his. He asks her about this and realizes that they were pledged to each other by their parents when they were infants. As Zhi Ming is a monk, he dare not disclose the truth to her. Zhao Wei is in love with Sima Yan and misunderstands Zhi Ming’s intentions, seeing him as a rival.Finally the three are discovered by North Shaolin Guardian Monk Shi Ren, and because Zhi Ming has broken the temple rules, he is taken back to the temple. Zhi Ming is punished with three years of penance, but he wants his revenge and he’s worried about Sima, so he breaks the rules again and escapes.In the meantime Shi Ren and the pole monks are escorting Master Wu Lou to South Shaolin for a meeting. Zhi Ming disguises himself and goes to South Shaolin ahead of Master Wu Lou. He finds Zhao Wei there, but Fa Ren has already left the temple with Sima Yan, as he is afraid they may have been discovered.By the time Zhi Ming and Zhao Wei find them, Fa Fen has been killed and Sima has been captured and is a prisoner aboard He Suo’s ship. The two men try to rescue Sima but encounter the eight experts and He Suo. At this time, the North Shaolin Guardian Monks and the South Shaolin students come to their aid, and eventually they defeat and kill He Suo.Before they part, Zhi Ming gives his silver bangle to Zhao Wei. When Sima Yan comes to say goodbye, Zhi Ming has already left with Shi Ren to return to the temple.Player Go to Google Play/iTunes in case NO VLC apps was installed.
