During the Reublic of China， the head of a irate gang， Cai Yan， was framed. He retended to have a memory loss and was taken in by Master Hui Yuan， the Abbot of Southern Shaolin Temle. To rotect the folks from the harassment of irates， the monks of Southern Shaolin Temle were even willing to risk their own lives. It greatly touched Cai Yan， who never had any faith in gods or heaven. In the end， Cai Yan became one of the Fierce Buddha Warriors， the atron of the area.
