Once upon a time in China some believe around the year... one double o three, Head priest of the White Lotus Clan,Pai Mei, was walking down a road... contemplating whatever it is
That a man of Pai Mei's infinite powers would contemplate - Which is another way
of saying, "Who knows?" -
When a Shaolin monk appeared on the road, Traveling in the opposite direction. As the monk and the priest rossed paths...
... Pai Mei... in a practically unfathomable
display of generosity, Gave the monk the slightest of nods.
The nod...was not returned.
Now, was it the intention of the Shaolin monk to insult Pai Mei? Or did he just fail to see
the generous social gesture? The motives of the monk remain unknown.
What is known... were the consequences.

... and demanded of the temple's head abbot That he offer Pai Mei his neck
to repay the insult. The abbot, at first,
tried to console Pai Mei.Only to find Pai Mei was... inconsolable.
[ flute]
So began... the Massacre of the Shaolin Temple,
and all sixty of the monks inside,... so began the legend... of Pai Mei's Five-Point-Palm Exploding-Heart Technique.
