The scene opens in a cave in the middle of the night. The narrator tells the audience that he has come to warn the audience about the dangers of the Shaolin Temple. He tells them that the temple is a place of "cultivation" and that the monks who live there are "hypocritical and self-serving" . The audience is shocked to learn that the monk who beat the holy woman of the sect is also a member of the same sect as the narrator's senior brother. The two men argue about who is the better man, and the narrator accuses the monks of being hypocrites and serving their own self-interest. The monks mock the narrator for being a hypocrite, but the narrator points out that women are strange, and that beating women increases their tendency to forget him. He then tells the story of how his daughter's husband seriously wounded the disciple of one of the four great sects in the city of xiangnan. The scene ends with the narrator asking the monk if he still wants to intervene in the matter. The monk replies that he does not want to interfere as his wife, but as husband and wife. He says that he was raised and trained in his sect and that he is not ashamed of his relationship with the monk. He asks the monk to go back to the sect and never enter the city again.
