We have to choose for
everything in the world.
Like love, if it's meant
to be fading away.
The only thing you can do
is to forget about her.
Or to make her forget about you.
I am a demon hunter.
One day, my master told me
to catch a demon in the mountain.
Then I know...
my master wanted to train my heart,
instead of my skill.
'Cos the most horrible thing
for a demon is not killing,
but one would be,
losing himself.
My name is Siu Sin, and you?
Yin Chek Ha.
It's yummy, what's this?
Candy.
I wanna have it for the rest of my life.
I just can't afford that.
I would love the one who gives me this.
Human and demon can't be together?
Then you'd better kill me,
come on!
From now on,
you won't get pain.
Because you won't remember me.
Yin Chek Ha, use your last mighty
weapon to stab her to death!
Chop off my hand to suppress
her as mighty weapon.
Hurry!
The day I break through the charm
would be the end of the demon hunters!
It's all right for losing one hand.
I lost 3 buddies...
Yin Chek Ha...
don't call yourself a demon hunter.
I finally understand human
and demon can't be together.
I decided to use the only weapon
to seal up her memory about me.
Then she would forget the love between us
and she would forget about me forever.
However,
as that young man went up to Black Mountain,
everything about Siu Sin
and I would restart again.
What the hell are you doing? Stealing water?
No...
No?
Take him back!
And his stuff too!
Chyun Cheung,
these tools are so weird,
dunno what they are for.
With so many weird tools,
he's coming for our water.
Chop off his hands.
What do think you are doing?
You guys are absolutely lawless!
I am an officer...
Chyun Cheung...
Chyun Cheung... he...
Ti Nga, why are you here?
No... he...
What's your name?
My name is Ning Choi San
Ning Choi San?
Our Black Mountain Village is famous,
for making pottery.
But we don't have water now,
and you could only
see those left over.
Those kilns have fallen
into disuse for long.
We couldn't raise our livestock here.
Now, the most important thing
is to find the water source.
Yes, we did send many letters
to the county officer
and begging them for our rescue.
As you are here now,
you are our savior.
Don't say that... Don't say that...
I'm just a craftsman.
Just call me Ning Choi San.
You are from the government office,
you must be the officer.
Yeas, Mr. Ning.
It's been hung all over,
what for?
It's charm, to drive away demons.
We use it in begging for rain.
Begging for rain.
Come on, everybody...
look...
- Mr. Ning is our savior.
- Don't say that
Everybody, I, Ning Choi San, promised that
I will find the water source
in the mountain later.
Otherwise, I will never come back.
Great!
Quiet!
Sir, everyone in this village
would like to thank you.
But I do need your help.
Go ahead!
In finding water source, I couldn't do it alone.
I need some strong guys...
to come with me to the mountain.
Mountain?
What's the problem?
As long as you go, that would be all right.
No need, just go back.
Mr. Ning, wait...
My name is Ti Nga.
I go with you.
That's good.
Why are they being shackled?
They are all criminals.
Chyun Cheung gave them chance
to make up for their sins.
Mr. Ning,
when I was small...
I used to go up to the mountain
with my father and brother.
I take this path very often.
But if we don't make any marks...
we would get lost easily.
You... wait.
Yes.
If you don't lead the way,
I will get lost for sure.
Don't panic, as I am here...
we won't get lost.
- Let's go...
- Go...
Be careful...
Don't fall off...
My leg...
As we go on like this,
we would be crippled...
before we find the water source.
How could you go up to the mountain
for being so fussy?
We'd better unshackle them.
It'd be better for them to walk.
No way.
They just committed small crime,
they shouldn't be punished like this.
What do you mean?
They are all murderers.
Murderers?
If they are not,
who would go with you?
It's fine, just be careful.
In fact, you'd better watch out for
those on the mountain...
What?
Nothing... be careful.
Watch out.
Mr. Ning,
look...
Keep digging.
Go ahead.
Look, there have been dead branches
all over as we go along.
But there are fresh plants and flowers here.
We'd have water here.
Right.
We will find the water source very soon.
That's good.
Keep an eye on them.
Don't worry.
Hey... do not slacken.
Candy for you.
Mr. Ning!
Why is the sky so weird?
Dunno.
Let's go down. It's getting dark,
why should we stay here?
Don't be silly,
it would be worse for going down.
Any where we can stay?
There's a temple right ahead.
Let's pack them up, let's go, hurry.
Hurry
Hurry...
You go ahead, I will pack.
Move it.
Water!
There's water ahead...
Water!
Water...
Help me.
It's water...
Can we drink?
What's this?
I'd like to check the depth.
Maybe it's the water source
we are looking for.
Great!
You are doing well today.
Where are they?
I will look for them... don't let them run.
What are you afraid of? Am I ugly?
No.
Miss, what are you doing?
I am doing what you guys love to do.
Miss, stop that, you can't do that...
Lou Lou told us we have to
be passionate to our guests.
Don't you like it?
No... I haven't...
I got it.
You haven't done that and it doesn't mean
that you don't like it.
You will like it.
Miss, no... no...
You are so naughty.
Sorry...
What's this?
What?
It's old jade, it can drive away the demon.
Let me see that.
Here.
Take it off.
Here.
No matter how much you eat,
I will beat you up!
Hey...
You scare the hell us out.
Just an old jade,
do you have to do that?
You look so miserable, it's from your lover?
It's the only thing that mom
left me before she died.
Hey, look at me.
You don't wanna look at me
for breaking your jade?
I didn't.
Mr. Ning, it's awful...
They all got killed by the demon...
Ti Nga!
Murder! Run! Miss!
Run!
Hocus Pocus!
I will get you next time.
That Taoist is so powerful.
I'm not afraid of him.
Don't go that way.
This way.
Why are you back?
I just told you.
What?
Beard is around.
Follow me.
He will be back.
Sit down.
Black Mountain is such a weird place.
Are we gonna sit here and do nothing?
What?
Strange.
Why is it no smell?
What smell?
He's also a nice guy.
Forget it.
Miss.
What?
That psychotic killer
might still be around.
Don't bump into him.
Let's wait for a bit, it's safe here.
You really scare of dying.
What's your name?
Ning Choi San
My name is Siu Sin
Here.
What's this?
Candy, it's nice.
You like it?
It's all yours.
Well... Am I gonna have the chance
to treat you candy again?
It's exhausted for running all night.
Wake me up at dawn.
Mighty eyes!
Go!
Look!
Yin Chek Ha, men and demons
would have their own ways.
Why are you always after me?
Sh*t!
You think you will be
able to feed yourself?
Go to hell!
As I am out of here...
