A Chinese Ghost Story Page #2

Synopsis: Ning Tsai-Shen, a humble tax collector, arrives in a small town to carry out his work. Unsurprisingly, no-one is willing to give him shelter for the night, so he ends up spending the night in the haunted Lan Ro temple. There, he meets Taoist Swordsman Yen Che-Hsia, who warns him to stay out of trouble, and the beautiful Nieh Hsiao-Tsing, with whom he falls in love. Unfortunately, Hsiao-Tsing is a ghost, bound for all eternity by a hideous tree spirit with an incredibly long tongue that wraps itself round its victims and sucks out their life essence (or 'yang element')...

You are not gonna come out, geek!

Hey!

Why are you always

scaring me on my back?

You are brave enough to go back

to Lan York Tze alone,

will you be scared by me?

What did you put in the water?

Torpedo.

Torpedo?

Don't pull!

Or it will explode!

Really!

If I guess it right,

water will be emerged from the leak.

Then the water will go to

Black Mountain Village.

Ning Choi San, no matter what happens,

don't make a sound.

Just pretend you see nothing, okay?

Why?

If you wan to leave Lan York Tze alive,

just do as I said.

Why are we getting along so well?

Of course.

'Cos we both hate the same person...

Siu Sin!

No wonder Lou Lou likes Siu Sin so much.

Look, she already got her prey.

Siu Sin, what should we do later on?

You are late,

he's mine.

Why is he still alive?

Dare you mess with me?

What are you laughing at?

Lou Lou is complaining about you

for not finding good stuff for her.

She told me to punish you.

Why are you still standing here?

Move it!

Bring some good stuff for her.

Ning Choi San, run!

They will kill you!

Lied to us?

Siu Sin

Siu Sin

Siu Sin

Siu Sin...

Why you came here?

Run!

Let go... let go of me.

I don't wanna know who you are,

I don't care whether you would die or not.

You just can't stay at Black Mountain...

If that old demon eats you,

she will be so powerful...

then I will be in trouble.

- Let go of me...

- Run

Don't move if you want to live.

Where is he?

Who?

His name is Ning Choi San.

He got eaten by you.

Did you forget?

Why you have to save me?

I am gonna kill you if

you try to harm anyone.

I know you are a demon hunter,

you won't let me go.

Thanks for saving me...

Thank you so much,

I won't forget about you.

You'd better forget about me.

I told you not to move.

You won't kill me.

Are you sure?

Your situation is more

dangerous than mine.

Why?

I won't kill you though.

Beard,

comfy?

Why you tied him up with one leg only?

Don't you think he

looks cute like this?

Go.

Sorry.

Well, I used to say you

are afraid of death.

Really?

In fact, you are not.

Otherwise, you won't come for my rescue.

In fact... I really do.

Why did you come back then?

What are you gonna do?

I decided to go downhill.

Downhill?

You still have candy?

Yes.

Siu Sin, you come with me.

I already found the water source,

I could show you.

- Are you sure?

- Yes

You know it's huge outside.

Much bigger than Black Mountain.

And there are different candies

and interesting things.

Do you wanna come with me?

Siu Sin.

Siu Sin...

I am hungry,

bring me that chap.

What is it?

It's getting dark soon.

Follow me, come on.

Why are you running so fast?

Hurry!

Siu Sin...

I am hungry...

Bring me that chap.

Siu Sin...

Come on

Going downhill, why are you running so fast?

Come with me!

Where are you going?

Siu Sin... Siu Sin... I am hugry...

Siu Sin, why are you running so fast?

- It's so windy.

- Don't ask.

I am hungry...

Bring me that chap.

Back!

What are you doing?

I...

I just wanna give you candy.

Just candy?

Who do you think I am?

Please believe me.

Run! Hurry up!

Didn't we get along so well just now?

You'd better go!

- You...

- What the hell!

Why you keep changing your mind?

So I am.

- You go away.

- I won't

You go away.

I am hungry!

Bring me that chap!

Siu Sin...

Dare you disobey what Lou Lou said.

Hey...

Hey... Chyun Cheung! Mr. Ning is back!

I told you, Mr. Ning won't die so soon.

Mr. Ning

Thank you, we finally got

water for the village.

Really?

They should be happy about that.

But they shouldn't waste too much water.

Don't waste water...

And those who go with me...

are still missing.

They deserve to die.

Well.

Sacrifice can't be avoided sometimes.

Forget about those unpleasant things.

Hey...

Ti Nga?

Ti Nga, are you all right?

Sir... he and that demon...

Demon the hell!

Look at you, you are so dirty, go have a shower.

There is water in Black Mountain Village, go...

No... he and that demon...

Mr. Ning is right.

We have to be considerate.

We shouldn't waste.

Today, the celebration should end at dawn.

Come on, splash him.

Say it!

Why did you let him go?

Lou Lou...

I will find you a better one.

You like him?

I just don't want to hurt him.

Lou Lou, you told me that the main

difference between men and demons is

demons can do whatever they want to.

Did I say that?

I did.

For what I said here,

just listen to it and don't try to use it.

Here, in Lan York Tze,

In Lan York Tze there's only one boss

that's me.

You will never get reincarnated.

Just serve me well.

Cheer up! Let's drink!

Sir, I... want to have a drink with you.

Chyun Cheung, I have drunk too much.

Right, she's my niece.

- Hello.

- Have a seat.

Say hello to Mr. Ning.

Drink with our savior, Mr. Ning.

- Mr. Ning, cheers.

- No need...

I can't drink anymore.

Bottoms up.

Very good.

Mr. Ning, it's good stuff.

- No... I can do it.

- Let me do it.

Enjoy it.

Do serve master well.

Mr. Ning, what are you looking at?

Nothing.

Have some.

Do you know what I want to eat now?

Candy.

Alright, I will get some for you.

No need.

I go...

I go by myself.

Where are you going?

Washroom.

Go to washroom for candy?

Siu Sin

Siu Sin

Siu Sin

Stop!

You've misunderstood me.

In fact, I'm a nice person.

I saw you killed in Lan York Tze.

No,

they are not human.

You are inhuman for slaughtering

the innocent people.

You misunderstood me due to my look.

Listen, I am a demon hunter.

Those I killed are all demons.

You liar.

Why should I lie to you?

You mean Siu Sin is a demon too?

Yes, of course.

She's not a demon.

She is.

- She's not.

- She is!

Maybe you untie me

and I will show it to you with my magic mirror.

Give it to me.

How?

Let me help you.

You know how to use it?

You just wanna fool me to untie you.

Damn! You dare not face the reality.

Hey, what are you doing?

I told you to untie it not to chop it.

Forget it, you can't

even hold the sword tight.

Liar, where are you going?

Dare you say you are not fooling me!

Grant me the power, go!

No... go!

Look.

Lan York Tze is just made up by

a 1000-year-old tree demon.

You are lucky for getting

out from it alive.

Come on. The path going

downhill is over there.

Where are you going?

I just won't believe your trick.

I will look for Siu Sin myself.

Are you insane?

I told you they are demons.

You are not falling for her though?

None of your business.

No way!

You can't afford that,

just forget about her.

I can't.

You will be doomed if you don't retreat.

How could I get to Lan York Tze?

Damn!

He's obsessed!

Okay, I just wouldn't stop you

from killing yourself.

The path going to Lan York Tze is over there.

God bless you! Dying young!

Siu Sin

Siu Sin

Ning Choi San

I am a demon...

I know.

Want it?

I will get you out of here.

- I can't walk.

- I carry you on my back.

Siu Sin, why are you so cold?

Old demon casted black magic on me...

Don't look at me!
