Master, where did this blizzard come from?

Don't believe everything you see!

But I really feel cold!

Then you're already under her spell

I've lost without fighting?

The ice harpy!

Wait!

You're no match for her

Now you tell me!

You have come so far to find me

Are you not entranced by my charms?

Instead of meditating on your sins...

...you are still harming humans!

Blame those men, not me!

I was so good to each one of them

But their roving eyes strayed away from me

So they deserved it!

You're an enchantress, they were humans

You were never meant to be together

Today I'll bring it to an end

l\/Ionk, you think you can escape from my spell?

Then come and get me!

Master, have you killed her?

I've trapped her

Confine her in the Lei Feng Pagoda

Me again?

It's me!

"Jin Shan Temple"

"Lei Feng Pagoda"

Trying to scare me?

Master wouldn't have trapped you if you were really scary

We're giving you another chance

A chance to reflect and improve

if you make real progress in meditation...

...you'll be released

You, too! Study to improve yourself!

Hey! Hurry up back there!

Coming!

Xu Xian...

I shouldn't have climbed up here to pick herbs with you

Be a bit more patient

Look! Here's one!

Unlike Shennong, you know the value of herbs

Xu Xian, you even know which flowers to eat

Which flowers cure which ailments

Do you even know what flower that is?

That fool is eating flowers! They have thorns!

He's no fool

He's not picking the pretty wild roses with their thorns

Roses are pretty...

But not as pretty as me

You... you're more like a hornflower

Blowing your own horn from dawn to dusk

Hey, don't you even know...

Medicines cure some ailments

But others need liquor distilled from flowers!

That's absolutely right!

Let's keep going

- Alright - Climb further?

Look, they're still digging for herbs

They'll strip the whole mountain bare!

I'll give them a scare!

What? Qingqing...

Xu Xian? Xu Xian?

He's coming to

Xu Xian, are you alright?

Xu Xian!

Xu Xian!

Where's that girl?

What girl?

Maybe you banged your head too hard...

Just now, in the water, a girl kissed me

She breathed into my mouth

She saved me

Hey! The one giving you the kiss of life was me!

Why did you save him?

You even gave his vital energy a boost!

Hey, I'm talking to you! What are you staring at?

Nothing

Nothing? You're smitten!

Master, it looks like another bat-demon bite

Amitabha...

Today is the 15th...

The day of the Lantern Festival

We have to find these demons soon

Or many more people will die

Amitabha...

Ferryman, wait!

Here!

We need to cross the river, ferryman

I'm no ferryman, but jump in

I hope we're not delaying you

Not at all! To help others...

...is to spend time well

Thank you, kind sir

Sir...

What you just said was very interesting

How do you use your time when you're not helping others?

I'm aiming to become...

...a doctor of medicine

Good, good! Young men like us should have dreams!

I have one too

I dream of become the Abbot of Jinshan Temple

And where would that leave me?

Uh, Master... that's not...

I didn't mean now...

I mean, after...

After my death?

You want me to die?

No, I... I...

That's not what I meant, Master... I...

It seems you are Abbot Fahai of Jinshan Temple

It takes ten years of good deeds for two people to meet

it's destiny that let us to be acquainted

Young man, you're from Hangzhou?

Yes, my name's Xu Xian

I'm a herbalist

Master, what are you counting?

How long until I die

Xu Xian, the weather's nice today!

That it is

Don't change the subject

What was your dream again?

No...

The ultimate dream

I don't have any dream!

My only dream is my wish that you...

White, tell us what's bothering you

Turtle and I can help you resolve it

What... do... you...

I want to visit the human world

You just want to see that flower-eating fool!

I'd just like to take another look at him

Look at what? He's just a common mortal!

You've been moping over him for days!

What's this all about?

She used her vital essence to save a fool who was drowning

if... your... lips...

Let me say it

if their lips met...

...there was a flow of vital essences

He's in you and you're in him!

Nothing so serious, I just want to take a look at him

Don't give me a hard time

Qingqing, come with me!

Hey, where are you going?

I want to come! Take me too!

I will just stay here

See how much fun the mortal world is?

In a moment, get off the boat...

...and find him for me

I'll be strolling around here

When you find him, bring him to the pavilion on the lake

Why don't you find him yourself?

I want to play a little joke on him

And see how nice he is

Master, it's turning!

Then don't blow on it!

We'll split up to look around

Ah!

Watch out!

What is it?

A demon!

A demon? How do you know?

I'm an expert, of course I know

Are you going to exorcise it?

Shh, not so loud! it's nearby!

My Master and I have been tracking it for ages

Master says we must exorcise it today

Why do you have to do that?

Demons hurt people

What about demons which don't hurt people?

I don't know

Could you make friends with them?

Definitely not!

Why not?

Master only taught me how to exorcise them

Not how to make friends with them

then your Master has a problem

Or maybe his Master had a problem

Why don't I have a problem?

Because you absolutely don't have one

You're very nice

And very smart

I'd like to have a friend like you

I'm Qingqing

I'm Neng Ren

I'm busy, I have to go

Take care!

You are the gentleman my sister wants to see

Look again, do I look like a gentleman?

You have the wrong man

Can't be...

You're a herb-picker, aren't you?

Yes, but I'm not a gentleman

So I can't possibly be the one your sister wants to see

I recognize you, you're the man who eats flowers

then what's my name?

Who am I?

I don't know

But you are the one my sister wants to see

It's Lantern Festival night, go and enjoy it

And stop bothering me

Goodnight... young miss

What on earth?

Why's it moving?

Stop!

You're a real fool

Where do you think you're going?

Sorry! Sorry!

I didn't do that on purpose!

Sit down

Miss, it's late and you're here alone

This isn't proper

Don't treat me as a stranger

You don't need to be so polite

No, no, I should go

Who built this pavilion? it's so rickety

Well, I think it's very nice

And it's a perfect spot to see the West Lake

I'm afraid I'm not so interested

And I need to get home

This early?

There's moonlight on the lake, a pavilion in the moonlight...

And we're in the pavilion

Don't you think it's romantic?

I'm too busy for romance

What are you avoiding?

Why are you keeping such a distance from me?

Why don't you like me?

It's not that I don't like you, Miss

But someone else already has my heart

Miss, I'm a very poor man

I pick herbs for a living

I'm not worthy of your affections

then tell me about her

What kind of person is she?

I know almost nothing about her

I can't even recall her face

All I know is that she saved my life

That day I fell into a lake in the mountains

She rescued me

if she saved your life, you owe her a lot

But when I revived...

...she was gone

My friends said I'd imagined her

But I'm quite sure...

...she was real

Because she kissed me so deeply

That kiss saved my life

In a way, it also took my life

What if...

You could kiss her again?

Would you remember her this time?

Hello, my friend!

Oh, it's you... haven't gone home yet?

Done with your errands?

All done

It's dangerous here, you should go home

if it's so dangerous, you should leave too

I can't, I'm hunting demons

Know the saying?

"There's someone smarter than you know"

It applies to demons too

You're no match for this one

I advise you to give up

I can't, I'm sworn to obey my Master

We have to trap the bat-demon tonight

Well, if you want to kill yourself...

This is a very, very powerful demon

Not really...

Just a bat-demon which bit a girl

Ugh, she's all bloody!

How do you know?

I'm an expert too

I can't let it get away

Sorry we can't talk more, until next time!

No!

Watch out

Oh well, there goes another friend

Neng Ren of Jinshan Temple!

Demon hunter and enforcer of Buddha's law

No bluffing!

Master! Save me!

Master! Save me!

Master!

Master!

Look!

Master Fahai and Neng Ren are back

What's wrong with Brother Neng Ren?

The bat-demon poisoned him

Can he be cured?

If he's lucky...

What are you staring at?

You

No need to keep staring so long

I can't stop wondering...

...if this is really happening

What do you think?

That you're dreaming?

Someone once told me...

if I want to see someone, I should keep her in my heart

then I'll really see her again

Now I know it isn't superstition, it's true

You're saying you did want to see me again?

Xu Xian, let's go on like this

Always together, alright?

Eating together, sleeping together...

Doing everything together

Won't you get tired of me?

Won't you?

But I want to take you seriously

I want to meet your parents

And when I have their permission to court you...

then we'll have a formal match and get married?

Brother! Brother!

Wake up!

The sun rose hours ago!

Brother, wake up!

What?

That's scary, Brother!

Brother! You... Your ears have grown pointy!

And you got fangs! So scary!

Brother, are you turning into a demon?

Master! Master! Something very bad has happened!

Brother Neng Ren has run away

Come and see! Quickly!

This place isn't bad, we could live here

Change!

Hey, friend...

You want to hang yourself?

Hurry away, friend

Death by hanging is an ugly sight

You'll get nightmares

I know!

After death, your body turns purple

Your tongue hangs loose and your eyes fall out!

What?

If you don't believe me, give it a go!

You don't look like you really want to die

You don't understand

I'm a demon hunter...

But I'm turning into a demon!

Just think...

When I meet a demon I've hunted before...

...I'll seriously lose face

if you're a demon, just be a demon

When one demon meets another...

Mostly they just nod a greeting

And lots of them don't have limbs

Who'll care about your face?

I'll let you in on a secret

Actually, I'm a demon too

You... you...

What's wrong?

Aren't we two the same now?

All demons together! Don't look at me like that

Since we're so close now...

...I'll teach you how to be a demon

Come on!

I'm gelded!

Come on!

A gelding!

Come on!

I just had chive for breakfast. I am going to throw up!

Bats hang upside-down, get used to it!

My head will burst! it's full of blood!

That will make you smarter

I have a question for you...

Am I pretty?

Listen...

Right now, all I can see is stars

I'm seeing you upside-down

Pretty doesn't come into it

I see

And now, am I pretty?

Seeing you now... very pretty

So, do you get a special feeling when you look at me?

Would you like to bite my neck?

Taste my blood?

Amitabha...

I'm a sinner, I'm a sinner

Drink some water

What is this?

What do you think?

You bit my neck...

...ate meat and drank blood!

You violated the Three Taboos!

No more calling yourself a monk!

From now on, be the demon you are!

Liar!

We're there. Have we brought enough gifts?

Stop worrying! Come on in

I didn't expect your family to live in a mansion!

It's just a broken-down old house

You're here at last! You kept us waiting!

They're all here... this is my family

Go on in

- Go ahead - Thanks

We need to hurry

They can't keep these forms for long

I know

I want to play too!

You can't take human form! Scram!

Hello, everyone

I'll make the introductions

This is my father

Hello

Sir, my name is Xu Xian

He's...

He's absolutely amazing!

You're...

You're just perfect for each other!

The perfect couple!

Really...

Really nice to see!

How wonderful that you are here to propose!

Don't worry, he's fine

Auspicious day for an engagement, isn't it?

This is... my mother

She's so young!

Really?

Actually, my stepmother

I'll introduce you

Googie... Googie...

How come you have a girl's name?

You misheard, it's Gugu

He was a chubby kid, that was his nickname

And it stuck

Hello, Gugu

Let's sit down

It's this year's latest fashion!

This is called Doodle-do Wine

It'll make you hiccup! Doodle-do!

My parents like you to look at them when you speak

Uh...

Aren't you here today to propose?

Hurry, then, we can hardly wait

I am Xu Xian, poor and humble

I never dreamt I'd win anyone like your Susu

I've come here today...

...because I seek your exalted permission...

...to marry Susu

Sir...

Although I have nothing to my name...

...I love Susu very much

No need for a dowry, just take her home! Go on!

I also want to say to Susu...

Good heavens!

Fine, just get on with it!

I want to hear what Xu Xian has to say

Sister...

Speak

I don't know what stroke of good fortune...

...allows me to make you mine

All it took was one kiss

The wheels of fate turned...

...and brought me to a perfect moment...

...of tenderness and happiness

From now on every moment, every second I have...

...I will spend...

...beside you

To make you happy

Why did you do that?

They're reverting to their true forms

it's bad! it's bad!

Fahai is here to exorcise us! Run!

Run!

Get Xu Xian away from here while I distract him

Take care!

A tawdry illusion to dupe humans!

Send them all back to the demon realm!

Yes, Master!

Master!

Master, let her go!

You know what you're asking?

Come back with me

Master...

I can't go back any more

Master, take care!

We escaped?

I'm not dead?

Be calm, I'll always protect you

What are we doing here?

Weren't we getting engaged?

We did it

My parents gave us their blessing

Really?

That was easy

So now we're married

I'm your wife

We can be together for the rest of our lives

One day...

...I'll have my own pharmacy

then I'll have more money

I don't want you to suffer with me

How could that be?

As long as we're together...

...I'll never know suffering

What's love like in this human world?

What do you mean?

I'd just like to know what kind of couple we are

Tell me

Well, there are several kinds...

Some couples are like birds in the forest

Each can fly away if they want

Not that kind!

Another kind is...

...where the husband gets rich and dreams...

...of his wife's death

Xu Xian!

I'll kill you!

Watch out!

Don't chase me!

You'll make me drop the herbs!

I'll kill you!

I'll kill you! I'll kill you!

This disease cannot be cured

Master

They are victims of demons

At best, they'll go mad... at worst, they'll die

while they're alive, I must try to save them

Take precautions, don't go to strange places alone

Thank you, Master

Where did this disease come from?

So many people suddenly dying

You should take some rest

You've been making medicine for three days!

I can't

I have to find the cure

Susu, give me a hand

It mustn't stick...

...to the bottom of the pot

Preserving vital essence

concentrating vigor

boosting the spirit

Aside from these fundamentals...

...the medicine must strengthen basic functions

This is such a fierce disease

Can this medicine work?

I don't really know

Woman...

Disciples!

Foul demons! Crossing the three realms and five planes...

...you've harmed the people and spread chaos and evil!

By Buddha's mercy, if you choose to repent...

...you still have a chance to live

We'd rather die than listen to your nonsense!

Beware! The fox-demons are casting a charm!

On guard!

Yes, Master!

Maximum protection shield!

Heaven needs no hearing, ecstasy needs no sight

void my sense of self

What's that mantra?

Is it real or are you making it up?

Show your real forms!

By heaven's mercy

Master, we regret our sin

Please let us go. We beg you

Silence! You are demons!

Return to the six paths of transmigration!

Accept your punishment with humility!

Amitabha...

Sister, Sister

What's wrong? Are you alright?

It's nothing

That's impossible...

if you keep on like this...

...something will go very wrong

I know what I'm doing

All you care about is that Xu Xian

Adding your vital essence to that medicine...

...is costing you centuries of self-improvement

I don't want to see him work so hard

I want to help him

But you may not live to see him again!

It can't be that bad

Of course it is

I have to go

Wait!

Ah, Dr Xu is here

Dr Xu, thank you!

You're truly our savior

We owe you our lives

You and your wife are such good people

Don't rush

There's enough for everyone

Thank you

Master, you should take some too

It cures sickness and prevents infection

Thank you

Master...

Did you mix this medicine?

Yes

No-one helped you?

Yes, my wife did

You are the quintessence of benevolence

Take this spirit dagger as a token of thanks

I can't, Master, I'm just doing my duty

You shouldn't refuse a gift from a senior

Keep it to protect yourself

Thank you, Master

Amitabha...

You think you can run?

You made the cure for the fox-demon's poison

So what?

Making it has cost you centuries of your vital essence

You're kind to the ordinary people

But in your eyes, all we do is harm people

Despite good intentions, you will harm someone

Who will I harm?

You should know that

Xu Xian is my true love, how could I harm him?

You're from different realms! Being together...

...you drain his life-force and distort his destiny

Human lives are short, and true love is rare

He didn't choose to love you, you took his love

What does that matter? He's happy with me

Go chant your sutras!

You know nothing of love

if Xu Xian knew you are a snake...

...would he still love you?

I truly love him

if that's the case, shed your own tears

Don't make him shed tears over you

Since you're so benevolent...

...I'll let you go this time

if I see you again in this realm, there'II be no mercy

Susu, I'm home

So soon?

You're back...

Look!

What's special about today?

Well, everyone else...

...is celebrating the Dragon Boat Festival

while I am celebrating...

...the best day I've ever had!

The day my medicine cured everyone!

Really?

That's wonderful

The old villagers were so grateful

They gave us all this food

Susu, thank you for working so hard

Here, a toast to you

I'm hungry

Here, try this

it's good

You have some too

What's wrong?

What kind of wine is this?

They distilled it themselves

Sulphur-flower wine!

That's right

it's a festival tradition, it wards off snake-bites

Susu?

Susu? What's wrong? Susu!

Susu? Susu? What's the matter?

Are you alright?

I'm alright

Susu!

Why lock the door? Open it!

Susun.

Don't frighten me!

Susun.

What's the matter?

Susu!

Susu!

Susu!

Susu, what are you doing?

Open the door!

Susu, don't frighten me

Xu Xian...

Do you recall...

...what you said to me when you proposed?

I want to hear you say it again

I knew you were playing a trick on me!

I'd rather not repeat it

if you don't...

...I might never hear it again

Alright, alright

I'll say it

But then you must open the door!

Alright

"All it took was one kiss"

"I'm sure that the wheels of fate turned..."

"...and brought me to a perfect moment..."

"...of tenderness and happiness"

"From now on..."

"...every moment, every second I have..."

will spend beside you..."

"...to make you happy"

Susu! Susu!

Open the door, Susu!

I gave you a chance

You didn't leave, so now I must take you

Monk...

Why are you intent on destroying our happiness?

Susu! Who are you talking to?

Don't chase her

She was stabbed with the spirit dagger

Losing vital essence, she can't take human form

Master, where is my wife?

Did the white snake eat her?

The white snake was your wife

You married a thousand-year-old snake demon

Impossible!

Impossible!

Impossible!

Sister, I'll give you some of my vital essence

it's no use

You have only a few centuries' worth

That spirit dagger had thousands!

We were wrong to come here

It wasn't worth it, to see you like this

Maybe I shouldn't have done it...

But I have no regrets

Only now do I know...

...what true love is

Love...

Is it really so important?

Tell me...

How can I save Susu?

The one thing that might is spirit herb

It can bring the dead back to life

It only grows in the Lei Feng Pagoda

A demon like me can't even get in there!

Plus, there is only a single sprout

It is really, really scary. They say fire can't even burn it!

Even if it takes braving swords and seas of fire...

...I shall save Susu

I can't take you any further

You dare to steal the spirit herb? Thief!

Which is the real spirit herb?

You will know after your death

I'll find it even if it kills me!

I must save Susu!

There's only a single sprout. Fire can't even burn it!

They found us!

Did you get the spirit herb?

I did

then let's get out of here!

It is going to be a disaster If they catch you

You take the spirit herb, I'll distract them

Demons have been confined in Lei Feng Pagoda for aeons!

The spirit herb kept them trapped

Your theft has caused a catastrophe!

Let me go! Why are you keeping me here?

I needed it to save her!

I wounded Susu

Master, let me go! Let me go!

I wounded Susu

Master, we can't hold them much longer

Call all the senior monks, now!

We'll cast the Luohan spell!

I got spirit herb!

Spirit herb? From where?

Xu Xian gave it to me

Where is he?

The monks took him

Disciples!

Seal the main hall with a maximum protection spell!

Maximum protection in force!

Now we cast the spell!

Any interruption will kill him!

Leave! You trespass on hallowed ground!

Fahai, give me my Xu Xian!

You should be thankful you aren't dead

Why this further trouble?

Release him and I'll go at once

He stole the spirit herb for you

He's in great danger because evil spirits possessed him!

Now we're breaking your spell!

I possessed him?

That cannot be...

I want to see him

He's in a life-or-death struggle

Interrupting the ritual...

...will end his life...

...and threaten those around him

Relations between humans and demons can bring no good

You...

You're just coming between my sister and Xu Xian!

If you won't release him, I'll fight you!

If I don't leave with Xu Xian, I'll flood Jinshan!

You are selfish! How many lives will you threaten?

I will be forced to put an end to you unless you stop

Very well... You're forcing me!

Get the important ones first.

Quick!

Forward, brothers!

Charge!

Bite them!

Break their human chain!

Xu Xian! Xu Xian!

Xu Xian?

You...

It's me, Susu

Susu?

Who is Susu?

I'm your wife

When did I get married?

Do you remember how we met?

Duasatu.com

Fahai, what horrible magic did you use...

...to make him forget me?

As I told you, evil spirits possessed him

You broke in and disrupted the Luohan spell!

You're the one who's harmed Xu Xian!

What Luohan spell? What possession?

You're making it up!

You just want Xu Xian to leave me

You're a monster!

Qingqing!

Brother Neng Ren!

Brother Neng Ren!

I have been a dharma defender all my life...

...to maintain natural order and ethical conduct

Why did the calamity happen instead?

Have I been too stubborn?

Was I really wrong?

Why is it...

...that every time I wake up...

...you're beside me?

Open the door! Let me out!

Let me see Xu Xian once more!

I don't care if you turn me to dust and scatter me

The love we had... was it not real?

Where is all your 'great benevolence' now?

Can't we see each other just once more?

Just once...

I'll accept my punishment

Amitabha...

Your mercy is boundless...

I understand...

Amitabha...

Xu Xian!

You're suffering...

I don't recognize you...

But for some reason I don't understand...

...when I see you shedding tears...

...my heart aches for you

Don't be upset, I don't want you to cry

I'll cry for both of us

I don't mind that you've forgotten me

My own memories are enough

Before I first saw you...

...I meditated for a thousand years

But those thousand years...

...were worth less than a moment with you

You'll never know...

...how I've had to suffer

But even if I die...

...I'll have no regrets

Susun.

"Your hair tickles my heart"

"Your eyes lingers in my mind"

"I can bear any hardships to be with you"

"Our love shall remain in the dark"

"year after year"

"but nothing can change it"

"Nothing at all"

"I will be there"

"if you are there"

"I vow to live for you"

"coz I can lose anything but you"

"Love is right"

"if there is joy between us"

"Our love shall survive"

"longer than any time"

"I vow to live for you"

"till the end of time"

"coz I can lose anything but you"

"Love is right"

"if the tortures on me are to protect you"

"Our love shall survive"

"longer than any time"

"And we'll meet again in our next lives"

Susun.

For the two of them...

...that was probably the best outcome

I never want to love anyone as she loved him

You... you'll never be much good as a demon

Neng Ren...

That new form you have...

It kind of suits you
