During the Min Dynasty, a Buddhist abbot charged with protecting a sacred scroll prepares to name his successor. An aristocrat and a general arrive at his secluded mountaintop monastery promising to help in his search, but are in fact scheming to secure the scroll for themselves. As they set about recommending corrupt successors, rival bands of martial artists lie in wait to steal the precious artifact, and the monastery is soon transformed into an epic battleground, with each player caught in a web of conspiracy and betrayal.

Every bit as good as you'd expect from a film by wuxia cinema's greatest auteur King Hu during his taiwanese era. Once again, his cinematography is a feast for the eyes (finally done justice by the recent 4k restoration as opposed to the subpar DVD releases preceding it) while the plot is a clever twist on spy- and heist thrillers, entirely set in a buddhist monastery. Like most of Hu's later works, this contains a few action scenes but will probably disappoint viewers who came for the fights alone. This is more of a drama/thriller than an action film.
