In the 1920s, the situation was turbulent, the world was in chaos, and there was no quiet place in China. At that time, heroes rose up and warlords fought each other. Warlord young marshal Hou Jie (played by Andy Lau) was arrogant and domineering, treating civilians as grass, but he could not escape his own fate. As the saying goes, the king's flag changes on the city head, Hou Jie's glory is gone in an instant. His adjutant Cao Man (played by Nicholas Tse) is waiting for an opportunity to take over, his wife Yan Xi (played by Fan Bingbing) leaves, and his daughter dies. All kinds of blows make this former Shura in troubled times lose all hope. During his stay in Shaolin Temple, Hou Jie met monks such as Wudao (played by Jackie Chan), Jingneng (played by Wu Jing), Jinghai (played by Yu Shaoqun), and Jingkong (played by Shi Yanneng), and gradually realized the cause and effect of his past sins, so he let go of his greed, anger, ignorance, arrogance, and doubt, and sincerely turned to Buddha. At the same time, greater tribulations are coming to Shaolin... Shaolin Temple abbot Shi Yongxin serves as the producer of the film.
