I'm in the woods.
I'm tired, cold, and hungry,
and I'm being hunted!
Aah!
Jade, I thought you were going to gather firewood.
Hello. Have you learned nothing from the movies?
Whoever gets the firewood
is always the creeping terror's first victim.
So that's what happened to the other little girl
I sent out for firewood.
Very funny.
I thought Mr. excitement there was going to guide us
straight to the low-cost temple.
"Lotus" temple,
and I didn't ask you to come along.
Yeah, well, I didn't want to miss out
on all the fun.
Ancient wisdom:
Crouching tiger is invisible
until teeth flash in moonlight.
Well, duh. Can we go home?
Jade, it's very important
that we locate the lotus temple.
Somewhere inside is the scroll of hung-chao.
It holds inscriptions of great power.
Ancient wisdom:
Words are breath that blows the fire of knowledge.
Yes! And our fire needs wood. Go.
Oh, stay in sight of the camp.
Stay in sight, like, I was going to...
Get lost.
Oh, boy. This is exactly what happens
before the creeping terror shows up.
No problem.
I'll just retrace my steps.
Uhh!
Aah!
Ok. This was not here before.
(Crying)
Ohh.
You should not be here.
Why? What's the matter?
Why are you crying?
Run from this place. Please!
(Roars)
Whoa. Talk about a mood swing.
Jade! Ohh, I told her to stay close.
She never listens.
Ancient wisdom:
The foolish monkey chases its tail
and catches trouble.
Mm. I should have brought a map.
Jade!
(Growls)
Uhh!
Ohh.
Aah!
This is exactly why
I didn't want to go get firewood.
(Roars)
(Growls)
Aah!
Whew.
Aah!
(Growls)
Whoooooa!
(Growls)
Grrrrr.
Aah!
(Roars)
Psych.
(Roaring)
Whoooooa!
(Roaring in pain)
(Breathless) I humbly...
Beg forgiveness.
It is the power of the lotus temple
that changes me.
I am forced to guard it against all intruders.
Yeah, well, you should put up
a beware of monster sign or something.
If you heard my tale, you would understand.
Please.
Oh, man.
I'll listen...
As long as you don't get
all "grrr" on me.
5 years ago, on an evening like this,
I wandered into the forest
against my father's wishes.
It grew dark,
and I was soon lost in the bamboo.
Hey, same here.
Then, under the light of the full moon,
the lotus temple appeared.
I thought it was a miracle,
saving me from the cold.
The next morning,
with the first rays of the sun,
the temple began to disappear,
and I vanished along with it.
Hold the cell phone. Are you saying
this place only exists at night?
Yes, and only under a full moon.
Anyone trapped within when the sun rises
becomes a temple guardian and may never leave again.
Pretty good fairy tale,
but there's one hole in your story.
Why weren't you attacked by a temple guardian?
The previous guardian
found the means to escape.
I've searched 5 years for that secret,
but have not found it.
I miss my family so much.
Hmm.
I'm all about beating the system.
Let's see.
You only go monstery
about intruders, right?
So if you ask for my help,
I'm not intruding. I'm helping.
Please, would you enter and assist me?
But if I grow horns, flee at once!
You got it.
I am xu-lin.
I'm Jade.
Jade! Jade!
Oh, where is she?
Bwaa!
Perhaps the little monkey is closer than you think.
The lotus temple.
Are you coming?
I will wait here.
I would not want to...
Intrude.
This is the library.
Here lies the wisdom of many ages.
Wow! I'll bet the secret to escape is written on one of these.
Aah! Aah! Aah!
Xu-lin?!
Jade!
I'm changing.
There must be an intruder.
Run, Jade! Hide!
Hey! I'm a guest.
But I sure feel sorry for whoever...
Uncle Jackie!
Jade?
(Growling)
Bwaa!
(Growls)
Uh, heh heh.
(Growls) Aah!
Bwaa!
Uncle Jackie! Oh, man!
Which way? Which way?
Unh! Ohh!
Excuse me,
I'm just looking for...
Bwaa! Aah!
Ow!
(Roars)
Huh?
(Gasps)
Aah! Unh!
(Coughs)
(Roars)
Unh!
(Gurgling)
Bwaa!
The scroll of hung-chao.
Dah!
Oof!
(Coughing)
Ohh...
Yaah!
Huh?
Uncle Jackie!
Are you... what have you done to xu-lin?!
She was a monster.
She attacked me.
Ohh, ohh.
Duh! It's her job.
She's the temple guardian.
It's a bizarro temple power or something.
It turns her into a monster
whenever there are intruders.
Intruders?
I would not want to...
Intrude.
You knew about the temple guardian.
Of course. Ancient wisdom:
The worm realizes he is bait
only after the fish bites.
Yah! Whoa! Ohh!
Hyah! Yah! Yah!
Yah!
Ugh! Intruders!
Tell me you aren't doing what I think you're doing.
Unh! Ugh!
Uncle Jackie?
(Growling)
Jade! Run!
No! Wrong way! Wrong way!
Xu-lin! Stop! That's my uncle.
He's to help you, too!
(Roars)
I don't think she wants my help!
Ah, yes.
Intriguing.
Jade: Oh!
Jade!
I'm ok. Help xu-lin!
Jade!
(Xu-lin moans)
Ancient wisdom:
The cornered rat finds peace...
In eternity.
The door!
Uncle Jackie, wait!
Ow!
I tried to tell you, she's trapped here.
It's some kind of curse.
Ohh.
Leave me, Jade. Escape while you can.
No! We're going to find a cure
or an antidote or something.
Right, uncle Jackie?
We will try.
Unh! Aah!
Jade, I'm changing.
No biggie.
Stay calm. Just try to remember,
I am your guest and uncle Jackie...
He is invited.
Good girl!
No more palm blasting!
You think that is the only power
granted by the scroll of hung-chao?
Haison! Haison! Haison!
Xu-lin, what happened with the monster bit?
Go hulk already!
Too weak.
Huh? Unh!
Ancient wisdom: The wise man never walks out
on free entertainment.
Hey! How come you can leave the temple?
Xu-lin? Wake up! Wake up!
Get him, uncle Jackie!
Get who?
Jackie,
your hands! Look!
Huh?
No more palm blasting!
The inscriptions.
Give armor-boy a taste of hung-chao mojo, quick!
No!
Xu-lin! Come on!
Ohh.
Both: Uh-oh.
(Roars)
No!
Fung dah! Fung dah!
Ruh! Fung dah! Fung dah!
(Monk straining)
Uncle Jackie, the sun's coming up!
Good.
You don't understand. The temple vanishes at Dawn,
and anyone inside goes with it.
How many crazy rules does this temple have?
You go! I will save xu-lin!
Raah!
Come on!
It will not work.
The power of the temple will not let me leave.
The armor...
It can leave the temple.
Yes!
Jackie: Whooaa!
(Coughing) Whew.
Noooo!
Heh. Easy come, easy go.
Oh, thank you for freeing me.
At least the scroll of hung-chao is destroyed.
No one else will learn its dangerous secret.
You know, I'll bet we could redraw those inscriptions
on your hands.
I mean, it'd take a few tries...
Jade, playing with magic is too dangerous.
I only hope to once again see my parents
and have nothing more to do with magic ever again!
Come on. Where's your spirit of adventure, xu-lin?
Ancient wisdom:
Wise monkey knows when to stifle spirit of adventure
and concentrate on schoolwork.
You just made that up.
No. It's old, very old.
Hey, Jackie, where did you live when you were little?
After my father, for the living,
he had to go to Australia, American embassy.
As soon as my father move, then I have nowhere to live,
so they put me. To the martial opera school.
Inside, just like the movie called fame.
One thing's different is we have to stay there.
We stay, live there, eat there.
Teach you how to dance, how to kicking, punch,
somersault, acrobatic, all kind of things.
School is very, very important.
Education is very, very important.
