All language subtitles for 02A Chinese Ghost Story II 1990

Frost fills the sky over
Ten Mile Lake

Silken threads anxious of
youth.

Looking at the moon and
feeling lonely.

Envious of love, not of
immortality.

This pointing will remind
you of me.

Sian's grave?

Sian died long ago.

She's a ghost?

Yes I'm a ghost but I bring
mortals no harm.

I died far away from my home

An evil spirit took my
corpse and won't let me rest

in peace.

If you want to save me, move
my bones away from here.

Then it will be possible for
me to be reincarnated.

Sian

I will save you.

Sian

Ning

You dare oppose me? I will
never excuse you from death

Let them go, please.

The Diamond Sutra

We've escaped
Sian, we're safe

Dawn is breaking.

Sian, hide in the tower of
ashes.

If the sun's rays shine on
you, you'll never...

be reincarnated.

Ning, good-bye forever

I hope that Sian will be
reincarnated.

I must return to the Orchid
Buddhist Monastery.

If you need me, you can find
me there. Take care

Who is that young man?

He's the poor scholar who
lived 2 blocks away.

Things have changed since he
was last here.

Wasn't he that shop's bill
collector?

He doesn't even know it went
out of business long ago

Welcome Welcome

The bill collector's here.

How much money did you
collect?

We're here to catch escaped
convicts.

It's the police who Run &

Pursue them

You're Bing Chow?

You've made a mistake. He
has a beard and I don't

You shaved it off

Take him back and collect
the reward.

Get in

I haven't committed any
crime

Let me go. I've been
wrongly accused

Let me got I've been wrongly
accused

I'm not Bing Chow

You've made a mistake. I'm
not Bing Chow

I am wrongly accused

My name is Ning,
not Bing Chow.

Old man may I ask who...

A man just like you, fated
to being imprisoned.

So pessimistic

It's all my elders' fault,
insisting I get an education

When I grew up, I was
learned and wrote books.

But when I write of my
travels, I'm accused of

revealing state secrets.

When I write of history,
they say I'm satirizing

the present.

If I analyze military
strategy, they say I'm

planning a rebellion.

I can't even write fairy
tales, for they accuse me of

promoting superstition.

Finally, I wrote the
biography of a powerful man.

Then he was arrested,
accused of being a rebel.

We where both sentenced to
life imprisonment.

Wouldn't you say that prison
is my fate?

A cockroach

Where?

Cockroach?

You're really wasteful The
cockroaches here are of the

best quality.

There are no delicacies here

After you've been here a
while, you'll even salivate

over a housefly.

Old man, how long have you
been here?

I was your age when I
first arrived.

Look how I've changed
Full of character

You've been here a long time

Help I am innocent

I'm not Bing Chow
I am innocent

You've made a mistake. I'm
not Bing Chow

Another nightmare. What did
you dream this time?

I dreamt you were haggard
and exhausted.

Exhausted? True, you will
soon be totally exhausted.

You have nightmares every
night. Look at the calendar.

You've been here so long and
still can't adjust.

Soon you'll even forget that
your last name is Chow.

Old man, my last name
isn't Chow

Bing Chow

Supper

OK.

A chicken leg?

Happy days are here again

Old man There's only one
bowl. You eat first.

No, it's for you. I'd rather
eat cockroaches.

I'll tell you something when
you've finished.

I haven't had chicken in
a long time.

Old man, why are you carving
my name?

All these men ate chicken
legs.

We call that chicken a
headless chicken.

After you've eaten it, they
chop off your head

Chop off your head?

Bing Chow, we have no
personnel quarrel.

Don't come back from the
grave and seek revenge on me

They behead people at noon.

It's now the middle of
the night.

Some official's son got in
trouble, and they're looking

for a substitute.

At night, the executioner
can't tell one from another.

Is there no justice in the
world?

Is there no reward for being
a good man?

It is of no concern to me.

I was always an honest man.

I'll give you whatever I can

This painting was a gift
from my dearest one.

I don't want to part with it
even in death.

Young man, you have a good
heart.

Let me give you a present.

You are so learned.

It is fortunate that I die
rather than you.

You're a good man. Such a
pity you have to die.

It would be a pity if you
died, not me.

Anybody's death is a pity.
You're a rare specimen.

If you die, your type will
be extinct.

It's been a long time since
I set somebody free.

This tunnel leads to the
outside.

Go out and start anew.

Don't give me such false
hopes.

If this is an escape route,
why didn't you escape

long ago?

It's less troublesome for me
to write my book here.

When I finish, then I'll
escape and get it printed.

Don't worry about me.

Always keep this bundle
with you.

Once you're out of here,
never come back

Get going

What will happen to you
after I've gone?

They like hearing my stories

So long as I don't get to
the story's end,

they'll never harm me.

But they'll accuse you of
helping me escape.

I'll say you were put to
death for somebody else

2 days ago.

They won't dare make a fuss.

Go
- Take care

Bing Chow the time has come

Hurry up

Bing Chow

He's dead.

I've escaped

There's even a horse here
waiting for me

That old man is really
remarkable

I must repay his kindness
someday.

Hey That's my horse

What a stupid horse letting
a stranger ride him

I don't even have time to
wash my hands

You think you're fast over
land... I'll go underground

Open sesame

I must find a place to get
out of this downpour

Good A house

Open the door

"Righteous Villa "...

Anybody home?

1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8

8 coffins Must be the
whole family.

I won't disturb you. I just
want to stay the night.

Don't bother to get up. I'll
take care of myself.

I told you not to go any
trouble. Please go back

The way you rush about in no
fixed direction

I had a hard time following
you underground.

Don't you have any idea
where you're going?

Your face looks so horrible,
you must have suffered a

painful death.

If you'd rushed around
underground all day like me,

you wouldn't have the energy
to come back to the surface.

I don't know you. Why are
you following me?

I don't know you either, so
why did you take my horse?

That's your horse?

I thought it was the
old man's.

Still you should have asked
before taking it.

You're alive. Sorry It's
all a misunderstanding.

If there's anything I can do
to help, just let me know.

Enough of your tricks. A
good thing my reactions are

so fast.

Friend, you need a place to
stay the night.

Here there's a roof over
your head.

Might as well stay here.

How do I know what you'd
do after I fell asleep?

I knew it

Let's draw up some
boundaries.

I'm staying next door.

If you have something to say
shout it. Don't come over.

I haven't bathed in a long
time.

Who is it?

Are you a mortal?

Hey, friend next door. Get
up There's ghosts

Get up. Do you hear me?

Hurry and get up

Not a sound. Maybe he left
already.

What a nuisance

Friend, there are fierce
ghosts here

Ghosts? I'll use my maglo to
banish them

Ghosts and goblins, I order
you to leave

Oh, you understand the
occult

My nose is sensitive to
other worldly spirits...

So why do I smell nothing
now?

Get out of the way

Abracadabra

Strange. Not even a hint of
ghostly odor

Abracadabra Hocus-pocus
flash

Abracadabra

Abracadabra

Don't come here
- Leave

You're not even real ghosts
Wasting my occult talents.

Phonies?

Want to trick me?

A good thing you have a
waistband.

Stay away from me

I'm failing...

Stop hugging me

Let go

If I let go, I'll fall

If you don't let go, I'll...

Sian?

Sian

Hocus-pocus heebie-jeebie

I order you to freeze

Freeze

Freeze

Sian, is that you?

What kind of black magic is
that? Let them go

Otherwise I'll kill him.

Oh... Freeze

Kill him. He's no friend of
mine

Elder Chu

Are you Elder Chu,
traveling incognito?

Elder who?

Your disciple is deeply
sorry.

Disciple?

Elder Chu?

Sian, it's me. Don't you
recognize me?

We come from a good family.
My name is Windy.

This is my younger sister,
Moon.

Elder Chu.

Elder, you can save us.

My father is Lord Fu, the
ex-Minister of Rites.

He was framed. They're now
transporting him to...

be executed.

We want to attack the
transport wagon and

rescue him.

You are the learned and
brilliant Chu.

You two are loyal imperial
warriors.

Every one is an eminent
personage.

Now it's my turn to
introduce myself, I am...

Spell

My name is Autumn, from the
Kunlun sact.

I've read everything that
the Elder has written.

I never get involved in
affairs of state.

We pay our respects to
Elder Chu.

My name is Ning, not Chu.

I can tell you are clever.

Clever people do not always
reveal their identities.

Anyway, in our hearts we
know who you really are.

How can I make you believe
me?

No need for you to say
anything. Everybody remembers

From now on, Elder Chu will
be known as Ning.

Chu is Ning.

Yes

We will now take an oath.

Whoever reveal their
identities...

will be chopped up into
10,000 pieces.

Yes

Such an honor that you rode
my horse

Sian, do you remember this
painting and poem?

Sian? Poem?

He's reciting poetry.
Quickly, pen and paper.

We must record what he says.
Elder is giving us a hint.

Hurry

Frost fills the sky over 10
Mile Lake;

Silken threads anxious of
youth.

Looking at the moon and
feeling lonely;

Envious of lovers, not of
immortality.

Very profound

What does "10 mile" mean?

10 mile

It is all very deep.

His words are too profound

10 Mile? That must mean 10
Mile Pavilion.

What do you mean?

There's a 10 Mile Pavilion
near hear. - That's right

Sister, "10 miles" refers to
10 Mile Pavilion.

It's nearby.

I understand.

10 Mile Pavilion is not
far from here.

"Frost" refers to Frost's
Descent.

Each year has 24 climatic
periods...

After the autumnal equinox
comes the frost...

and today is the day of
Frost's Descent.

Elder is telling us that
father will be transported

past 10 Mile Pavilion.

He's telling us to rescue
him there.

Elder is truly perceptive.
We can save father.

We had it right
- Good.

It hurts

What's the matter? Get up

Reporting

Miss Windy Your father
will pass the 10 Mile

Pavilion tonight.

We already know that.

Elder is truly brilliant

But what about the rest of
the poem?

What do those 2 stanzas mean
- 3 stanzas.

The meaning doesn't matter
now.

Interpret it in any way you
desire.

He means that we should have
our own views...

not just listen to what
other people say, right?

So, should we still listen
to what Elder says?

Not only listen, but take
notes and ponder his meaning

We must pass his wisdom on
to future generations.

Right

Time to leave

Good-bye.

We're off to 10 Mile
Pavilion.

Yes. We're off to 10 Mile
Pavilion.

Miss Windy, please return
Sian's painting to me.

Yes, Elder.

When you call me Sian, is
that a hint that I need

a pseudonym?

From now on, my name is Sian

If Sian were reincarnated,
she would now be a babe

in arms.

She's not Sian

Who are you spying on?

Me?...

No.

Who are you spying on?

I wanted to see who you
were spying on. Time to go

Do you think your fiancé,
Prince Ma...

is as handsome as Elder?

We were betrothed before
birth. How do I know what

he looks like?

Is that what people mean
by fate?

Who are you referring to?

Oh, nobody. It's just that I
feel so fortunate.

Fortunate? You’re e frothing
at the mouth

Evil spirits

Is this a foot print or a
hand print?

We'll know when we find the
monster.

Right

It even harmed a man.

What a pity to leave it here
Better show it to Elder.

OK There really are ghosts
in this place

What is that?

A corpse It's all that
ghost's fault.

Don't hug it. Put it down.

How did this person die so
pitifully?

I'd say this an evil ghost.
The odor is very strong.

It's back

Is it looking for us?

Use your "freeze" magic.
- Right

I command you to freeze

Heebie-jeebie Freeze

That'll stop him

How do you do it?

When you see a ghost, shout
"freeze".

Like this? Freeze! Is that
right?

Oh, no. How do you lift the
spell?

I have to think of a way to
communicate with him.

What can I do? Let's try
this...

If I'm right, move your eyes
up and down.

That's right. Fantastic

If I'm wrong, move them from
left to right.

Great

Will a hand gesture lift
the spell?

What? Not up and down or
left to right.

Don't joke with me.

If we wait too long, that
monster will get us.

Does lifting the spell have
to do with an...

acupuncture point?

Your eyes are moving faster
than a revolving lantern

I understand You're
provoking me into

hitting you.

OK. I'm going to hit you now

Ready or not, here it comes

Let's get out of here

Come on

You're too heavy.

I can't carry you.

Drag it

Dragging you isn't fast
enough either.

Better hide upstairs.

I told you not to fool
around at a time like this.

That monster is so tall,
it'll see us if we stand

up straight.

How can I undo the spell?

How do I lift the spell?

It's safer inside. Better
hide yourself quick.

I told you to hide inside.

Why did you go down there,
where it's so dangerous?

Try the "freeze" curse

Freeze

Let's continue without
guessing game.

You're getting heavier and
heavier. Can't carry you

much longer.

Since that monster isn't
here...

let's try to lift the spell.

Does it have anything to do
with this amulet?

Yes? What then?

Point at me. Point at me and
the curse will be lifted.

Point

How do I undo the spell?

No good asking you I must
figure it out for myself.

Freeze

Don't move... Move Move

Don't move

Why does he "unfreeze" so
quickly,

but you haven't moved for
so long?

Do you mean... I pointed to
this amulet...

Then I asked you how to lift
the spell...

And he moved Freeze

I'll take care of it.
Get out of here fast

Finally lifted the spell

Get out of here

Abracadabra Open up a
way out

Abracadabra Open up a
way out

Out of the way I'll take
care of it

Abracadabra

Hocus pocus

I order all ghosts to be
expelled

Wow It doesn't fear my
incantations

Take this

It's still moving

I order all ghosts to be
expelled

Hocus pocus

Even when it's chopped up he
can still run away

It could still come back at
any time.

Elder, get out of here.
I'll pursue it

Be careful
- Earth, open up

Hey Stop Stop

Are you stupid? I told you
to stop

We don't even know each
other. Why are we fighting?

I learned magic to deal with
evil spirits.

If you don't stop, I'll use
my magic to "freeze" you.

Why are you blocking my way?

I was just taking a rest
after battling some ghosts,

and you say I'm blocking
your way.

When that monster makes a
run for it tonight, you'll

be in deep trouble.

Brother
- Call me Master.

Master, your skill is
extraordinary.

If you worked for the
imperial court, your future

would be boundless.

You know that I'm a
Taoist monk.

Seeking wealth and position
is for the likes of you

mere mortals.

I don't want to end up like
you... Earth, open up

What a pity.

Hu, our horses' hoofs are
rigid. They won't move

It must be that monk's
magic at work

He said there are evil
spirits. Be careful

Yes

Lord Fu

There's nothing I can do
about squabbles in the

imperial court.

It's hard to tell right from
wrong.

I'm just following orders.

But don't worry.

I'll make sure your journey
is safe.

After we get to the capital,

whatever the emperor does to
you is not my responsibility

Let's go

Where can I get something
to eat?

Please give me a bowl of
your cheapest food.

What? The cheapest?

Sit down If you're starving
don't waste your money.

Show me your face.

Go

Stand up.

Don't lower your head.

Go

Don't run away
- Don't move

Monks?

Don't move

Stand still

Out of the way

Get out of the way

What kind of magic is this?

It's Windy...

Wait

Come back

Hey

The soldiers never came to
10 Mile Pavilion last night.

Rush back to Righteous Villa
and lie in ambush for them.

Hey

Back to Righteous Villa?
It's haunted

Come back

Elder Elder

I wonder if Elder has
already gone?

Better search for him.
- Yes

Do you think father's
transport has already

passed by here?

No. They're not supposed to
reach here until after dark.

Miss Windy, the villa has
been ransacked.

I'm sure Elder did it to
remove any traces of

our presence.

Set everything up. Prepare
to attack. - Yes

Hurry up Over there

Who is it?

I'm Ning.
- Ning?

Oh, it's Elder

This villa is haunted.

Haunted?

Where is Miss Windy?

Inside.

Ghosts?

Real ghosts?

Miss Windy

My clothes

Miss Windy

Miss Windy

Elder, they said you came.

Miss Moon

Who are you?

Oh, it's Elder. I recognize
your back.

Elder...

I...

With your beard shaved off,
you're so, so...

Yes.

When my sister sees you,
she'll be so happy for me.

Happy?

When you came in, did you
see my sister?

Your sister? No. No

Sister Sister Sister

What are you grinning about?

It is improper to look.

There are some things you
shouldn't look at.

You're all right

I didn't recognize Elder
with his beard shaved off.

Really? I must see for
myself.

Elder, if you have something
to say, just say it.

It scares me when you hint
at things.

I'm cold.

Your face is so hot, how
can you be cold?

Wouldn't this be faster?

Not fast enough. Faster
would be better.

Faster?... OK.

Elder...

Elder said he was cold.

Cold?

Elder, you're overly
exerting yourself.

Have you seen Miss Windy?

No, I'm looking for her, too

Where did she go?

There's noise coming from
upstairs.

Let's go up for a look.

Don't go up there.

Strange Nobody up here.

Maybe it's next door. Let's
go over and look.

What are you doing?

Sister, Elder came back to
find me... us.

Why are your clothes so
disheveled?

Don't be so impolite in
the future.

Miss Windy, this villa is
haunted.

Do we still have to pretend
to be ghosts?

No matter what, we must wait
here for father.

We mustn't leave.

In this moment of danger,

we must thrust out our
chests and be fearless.

We must be utterly devoted
to our cause.

Elder, let's go in.

Elder - Your clothes are
torn in the back.

How do you write the
"freeze" incantation?

I didn't spy on him. I didn't
even know he was outside.

Better tie your heart down.
Otherwise, it might fly away

If I could tie it down,
I would

This is how you do it...

Freeze

It works

This is the "freeze"
incantation.

If you see that monster, do
this and he'll freeze in

his tracks.
- Like this?

Don't do it haphazardly. This
spell is hard to reverse.

Give me your hand.
- Yes

Sister, what's that sound?

It's coming from up there.

Windy

Windy, give me your hand.

Elder, shouldn't you be
calling me Sian?

Whether I call you Sian or
Windy, there's no need

to be bashful.

I'll never reveal what
happened just now.

I was really anxious on
your behalf.

Actually, I kissed you
because I couldn't

control myself.

Fortunately you made a
quick get-away.

Otherwise, if Moon had seen
you undressed and with me...

it would be hard to explain,
even if I were Elder Chu.

Give me your hand.

Moon?

Moon, what are you doing
here?

I was looking for you.

Don't bother explaining.

Moon

No, Windy Give me your hand

We're not fated for each
other. I'm betrothed to

Lord Ma's son.

You're betrothed?

We weren't meant for each
other.

You should be looking for
Moon, not me.

Windy, one at a time. I'm
after both of you.

Miss Moon, it's getting dark
Give me your hand.

Go to my sister instead.

I'll go to her next. Quick,
give me your hand.

Elder, aren't you the
playboy

You can only choose one of
us.

I'm not going to compete
with my sister.

No need to compete. When I
finish with you I'll go

to her.

Elder, there is something
I must tell you.

Actually, love is a strange
thing.

My heart beats wildly when
I look at you.

I don't even have the
courage to glance at you.

I'm afraid that my heart
would jump right out.

I'd be willing to die if
that's what you wanted.

As long as I can be with you
for ever & never part.

Help

What's that?

Hurry up That monster is
back.

Elder, what happened?

Go inside and search.
- Yes

Inside there's a huge
creature.

I don't know what it is.

Be calm Use the "freeze"
incantation.

Together: Freeze

It really works

It sure does

We froze it in its tracks.

Everybody, jump up there

I...

The archery machine

Be careful
- Elder

Moon, go and rescue Elder.
I'll lure away that monster.

Put out the net.
- Yes

Your hand...

Let's retreat from here.

See what's going on up ahead
- Yes

Soldiers

Hu, they've set up an ambush

Windy, Moon?

It's father

Lure the soldiers into the
villa.

Use the archery machine to
mow them down - Yes

Trying to get away?

The monster destroyed the
archery machine

We're surrounded by our toes

Let me out

Right... Let Elder go

Elder, what should we do now

We'll stay on the sidelines.

When the enemy comes in, the
monster will deal with them.

Obviously a fake ghost.
Unmask it.

Let's rescue father
- Yes

You're hopelessly
outnumbered.

I'll save you

Swords are too dangerous
Let's use our fists.

I told you that swords are
too dangerous

Father

Get out of here. Don't worry
about me

Get over here fast.

Don't worry about me
Rescue father

The monster is here

Abracadabra Hocus pocus

Abracadabra Hocus pocus

Windy Windy

Possessed by evil spirits?

Sister

What happened to Windy?

She's been possessed by
evil spirits.

What should we do?

Still a lot of soldiers
around. Better get inside.

Don't move

Press down on her

Sister

Think of a way to save
my sister.

She's possessed by them

She could turn into a giant
monster at any moment.

It's your fault, you traitor

I'll kill you

Wait His troops are still
out there.

We must keep him as a
hostage.

She's turning into a corpse
monster

Sister

We must kill her immediately

Otherwise she'll turn into
a monster.

You can't kill her

Are you a good person or
evil?

You won't kill Hu, but
you'll kill my sister.

Kill Hu

No matter how many you kill
here, you still won't save

the kingdom.

The emperor is surrounded by
sycophants and has no idea

of the suffering of his
people.

Take my head to the emperor.
Maybe it will move him.

He'll be convinced of our
sincerity and loyalty.

Father, if you die we'll
have no one to lead us.

Take my head instead.

No. Take our heads.

Bastards. What good is it to
cut off your heads?

Who are you, ordering people
about?

I am the learned and
brilliant Elder Chu

The learned and brilliant
Elder Chu.

Please guide us.

None of you are permitted
to die.

Please explain

Explain?

Your severed heads will mean
nothing to the emperor.

You'll have died in vain.
Need I explain more?

Stupid pigs

What about her?

To exorcise her, she needs
a dose of "yang" energy.

I am not powerful enough.

We better do something soon
or it will be too late.

What can we do?

Try this magic charm. It may
or may not work.

Hurry up and pull Miss Windy
down. - OK.

I order the evil spirits to
be exercised.

How did this happen?

Really ugly

I've forced the evil spirit
from her.

If she gets a quick dose of
"yang" energy, there will be

a gleam of hope. Hurry up.

Hurry

I'm a monk. I must not get
too close to women.

Don't be afraid of her
ugliness.

How do we give her "yang"
energy?

With your mouth, of course.
- Mouth?

What then? Your ears?

Send me to her.

Abracadabra Hocus pocus

Sister

A real man is afraid of
nothing.

It's you

Lord, a golden-robed priest
is on his way here.

A golden-robed priest?

Lord

Put your swords down

Not enough. More

Lower your swords

Put all your swords down

There are evildoers behind
every country's downfall.

Take my head and collect
your reward.

The way that you look death
calmly in the face,

proves that you are loyal to
our country.

Even though our political
views are different,

I'm still willing to help
you.

The golden-robed Taoist
outside is the High Priest.

The High Priest?

All the rites and rituals in
the palace...

the emperor consults him
for guidance.

If he speaks on your behalf,
justice will triumph.

Father

Lord Fu, if you trust me,
let me go to him.

I'll explain the true
situation.

Father, he might betray you

He could have killed me had
he wanted to.

Still not awake?

Enough I'm going to puke.

Elder

Ning

I am here to pay my respects
to the high priest.

Lord Fu is not a traitor.

He is a loyal subject,
a patriot.

I hope that you will uphold
justice.

There are many who cannot
tell between good and evil.

They do not know the
hardships of the

imperial court.

The purpose of my journey
is to pacify the people.

I'll intercede at court on
behalf of these

loyal subjects.

Amen Amen

Thank you, High Priest

How are you, Autumn?

Women are very tempting.

If I didn't exercise
self-control...

my energy would have been
dissipated.

Hu is treacherous and
disrupts the...

High Priest's harmony.

Please stay here.

The convict Lord Fu is here
to see the High Priest.

I pay my respects to the
High Priest.

Amen Amen. You have a
murderous air about you.

Put down your weapons.

I've been framed, but I am
concerned about our nation.

You're so merciful. Guide the
emperor to save the nation.

Life is chaotic.

Mistakes can always be
corrected.

In my former life I was evil
so I must do good in

this life.

Release my soul from
purgatory.

Release my soul from
purgatory.

Evil chanting?

Don't be tricked

Sit down

His mercy is false

Don't be tricked by his
devilish voice

Abracadabra Freeze

I order the evil spirits to
be exercised

I am the absolute Buddha.

What kind of evil spirit
are you

Even before Buddha you
refuse to reveal your

true appearance

The spirit of evil? I am
what I look like

I don't believe you are
Buddha

Let's go over and see if
you're real or false.

Don't

Abracadabra

Hocus pocus

Elder

The bastard Hu betrayed us.

I'll take care of things
here. Leave quickly

Abracadabra Hocus pocus
The universe revolves.

May Buddha be in your heart.

I knew he was false, but
couldn't conquer him.

I failed

I can't perform my magic
with you here.

I'll open a tunnel in the
earth for you. Hurry

Autumn

Hurry up

I can't hold out.

Hurry

Abracadabra. Hurry

Father

They've escaped for now but
I'll get them in the end.

Guard the three we've
captured

Yes

What about Lord Fu?

They have admitted their
errors. They have departed.

People should acknowledge
the immensity of

the universe.

I just heard a fight going
on.

Your ears aren't clean

Vacate your mind to attain
perfect peace of mind.

I'm very cold.

Sian

Don't leave me

Sian

Don't be reincarnated
so soon.

It's too hard to be mortal
now.

You're so good to Sian.

I never realized how much
you missed her

I never realized how much
you missed her

Frost fills the sky over
10 Mile Lake.

Silken threads anxious of
youth.

Looking at the moon and
feeling lonely.

Envious of lovers, not of
immortality.

Sian

Sian, what are you doing
here?

Hide You can't let the sun
shine on you

If the sun shines on you,
your soul will be scattered.

You would never be
reincarnated

Why don't you listen to me?
Sian

Oh, it's you I'm sorry.

Once again I've made a
mistake.

I mistook you for she.

So there really is someone
named Sian

Is she the one in the
painting?

Do you miss her very much?

She's already dead and
buried.

We'll never meet again.

If you want, you can call me
Sian for now.

For now?

I understand. You’re e
betrothed to another.

When I knew Sian,

she was also betrothed to
somebody else.

It's beyond my control.

Sian said exactly the same
thing.

You are mortal; she's a ghost

But you're both exactly
the same.

Are we very much alike?

Too much so.

You gave me false hope.

Anyway, false hope is
better than none.

Excuse me

Here's your tea.

Your meal will be served
presently.

Please make yourselves at
home.

I've seen that man before.
He's...

The tea is poisoned This
inn is run by thieves

Really

Is the water boiling?
- Yes.

The blade sharpened?
- Nice and sharp.

Everything's ready.

Put the man in the cauldron
immediately.

Save the woman for tonight,
to warm our cold beds.

Kill

Slice them up good

Right on

Stop

Watch where you're stabbing

They escaped through the
window.

It's dangerous here. This is
no way to escape

Better jump into the tree
and hide.

I still haven't recovered.
No energy to jump.

Don't worry about me. Run

No, I won't leave you.

This time there's no escape

I never thought we'd die
here.

Elder, it's our fault for
getting you involved.

I'm not Elder Chu.

I'm just a poor scholar.

No matter who you are...

I feel fortunate to die with
the one I love.

We'll never be parted again.

We'll never be parted again.
Hold me

Let me be on the outside so
that the wolf eats me first.

You're wonderful.

So are you.

If we could be like this
for ever, it would be great.

Orchid Monastery

Orchid Monastery

What's the Orchid Monastery?

How could I have forgotten
about Yan?

Who is he?

The bearded man in the
Orchid Monastery.

A wizard in the occult.

If we find him, we can deal
with the High Priest.

Isn't the High Priest
returning to the

capital city?

Why go to his palace?

He needs a tranquil place
to meditate.

Only holy people may enter
this sacred place.

Stay where you are.

This is the hour of the
eclipse.

My body is changing against
my wish.

Why are all the officials of
the imperial court here?

Lord Chiang Lord Yang
Lord Lee

I was escorting Lord Fu back
to the capital...

But couldn't complete my
mission. Allow me to explain

Lord Chiang

A hollow shell?

Lord Yang is a hollow shell,
too?

What kind of a place is this
Are you demons?

What did you do with the
flesh and blood of

these officials?

You demons, come out and
face me

Why did you do with the
flesh and blood of

these officials?

What evil intentions do you
harbor?

Are they all hollow shells?

I'm going to destroy all of
you evil monks.

Strange, where have they
hidden?

Autumn? Moon? Lord Fu?

Lord Fu

What happened? Where are
the others?

I was wrong to believe you
You've caused so much harm

What other plots do you have
up your sleeve?

We were tricked. The High
Priest is a demon

He turned many officials
into walking corpses.

We must report this to the
emperor.

Otherwise, the kingdom will
be beyond redemption.

Oh, he's the one who
instigated this calamity

No wonder the court is in
upheaval.

We must hurry to rescue the
others. We can talk later.

Moon

Autumn

There are demons in the
court, so I must get

involved in affairs of state

Every one must do his bit.

Hurry There's danger
everywhere.

Let's get past this hurdle
first.

These demonic monks have
great magical powers.

Once he's awake we won't be
able to escape, so hurry

Autumn, get out of here
Don't fight anymore

This is a scene of
desolation.

Lord, ride my horse.

More chanting
- Father

I'll use my powers to help
you concentrate.

Come back, Hu. You'll
never beat him.

Put down your butchers'
knives. Bow before Buddha

Hu, don't sacrifice yourself
in vain

I mistakenly trusted these
demons and slaughtered

righteous officials.

To atone for my sins, I'll
fight him to the death.

Don't

I'm headed for hell anyway.

Hu

Yan, why does the wind
suddenly blow so violently?

It's hard to tell which
direction is which.

Yan, what should we do?

Evil spirits pervade this
road. Our lives hang by a

slender thread.

We mustn't stop. Follow me

Oh, boundless heaven and
earth Help me

Recite the scriptures with
me Prajna paramita...

Prajna paramita...

The Diamond Sutra
incantation?

Prajna paramita...

Ignoramus, behaving so
boorishly in front of me

Prajna paramite...

Ning, Windy... get out of
the way

Oh, boundless heaven and
earth. Help me

Buddha is present

If you dare to impersonate
Buddha, what would you not

dare to do?

You think you can hoodwink
the people for ever?

I'm going to let every one
know what you really are

The masses love to worship
their idols.

Why set yourself against
the people?

It's their ignorance that
has allowed you to succeed.

I'll never let them worship
demons like you.

You'll never deceive the
people again

If you refuse to follow my
shining beacon...

you will be destroyed

What crap. Look out

Justine for all

Swords are part of the
infinite

We've only destroyed the
false cuter body.

He can come back & attack
us at any time.

We must use our swords to
fight back

Let me introduce myself.
I'm from the Kunlun sect...

At a time like this, let's
not separate into sects.

We're all fighting the same
enemy. Destroy this demon

Chant with me

Prajna paramita...

Prajna paramita...

The old demon has stolen
into the earth and broken

through our ring of swords.

What should we do?
- Watch

What kind of demon?

Come with me

Hold on to me as I fly.

Ning

You pulled my sleeve off.

What are you coming back for

What happened?

Gone?
- Keep quiet

Be careful. The demon has
changed its appearance.

It's huge

Be careful

Moon, look after your father
I'll help Yan.

Autumn, be careful

The demon's actually a
giant centipede

That worm can never be a
dragon.

Elder

I've never had to deal with
such a giant creature.

What should we do now?

Pierce the crown of its head

Ning

Windy

The flying sword

Prajna paramita

Exercise the demons

Oh, boundless heaven and
earth. Help me

Elder
- Autumn

Two heads are better than
one.

Abracadabra. Hocus pocus.

Hocus pocus.

I've been in the Orchid
Monastery for so long...

I didn't know the world was
so full of devils and demons

It's hard to separate the
living from the dead.

The world is in chaos.

It's a good thing you hid in
the Orchid Monastery.

Otherwise I might never
have found you.

We share the same ideals...

We should roam this world
together and fight

for justice. We should
work together.

What are you saying?

I've always led a solitary
existence.

Last time, I almost died
trying to help you save Sian

This time, I've helped you
battle the demons...

and almost lost my life.

It's better if we go our
own ways.

When you need my help, I'll
return and save you.

Be careful, Autumn

The demon still isn't dead.

Autumn

I really need your help this
time, or I'm finished.

We must be jinxed

I'll take care of things
Quickly, crawl out of there.

No good.

Autumn

Autumn

That centipede flew over

What about Autumn and Yan?

We're locked in. We must
think of a way to escape.

You're right I've really
caused you harm.

Our bodies are restrained.

We can be saved only if our
souls can escape.

Souls.

Will we have enough energy
to later let the souls

back in?

This is the only way

Chant along with me.

The spirit of Buddha
conquers all

Goodness is indestructible.

Oh, boundless heaven and
earth. Help me

Help me
- Hocus pocus

Autumn

Yan

Yan

Soul, return

My soul can't return to my
body

Autumn, catch the soul

His power isn't strong
enough. I'll help him.

Prajna paramita...

I can't catch it.

Moon

Too late

Autumn

What's all the hubub outside

What hubbub? I don't hear
anything

Who's getting married? Such
a large golden pig

It's a gift to Lord Fu from
the emperor.

Since he exposed the
traitors in the imperial

court, he performed a great
service for the emperor.

It's a wedding gift for Lord
Fu's daughter.

Moon

Moon

Ning

Is Windy getting...

Sister is already married.

Don't cause her any trouble.

I'm about to start on a
journey.

Give her my best wishes for
a happy marriage.

I will. Take care of
yourself.

Adieu

It's hard to differentiate
between true and false hopes

Now I understand why you
stay away from our

mortal world.

Mortals are forgetful. Good
deeds fade like the wind.

No matter what you've done,
it's soon forgotten.

Is forgetting good or bad?

Should we have hopes?

You said you'd cherish no
hopes

Sister, don't hesitate
Go to him

Windy?

Ning

Farewell
- Take care

Let's go
