A Chinese Ghost Story Page #3

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')...

If you look, we will never get out.

Ning Choi San, put me down and I will walk myself.

I'd rather die in Black Mountain

than putting you down.

Bingo!

Sh*t.

Got hit.

Hocus pocus

Boundless tides

Yin Chek Ha, you can't land.

Stay here for tonight

and get moving at dawn.

Don't worry, they wouldn't know you are a demon.

Siu Sin, it's a bit messy, hope you don't mind.

Get a better inn tomorrow.

As the fire is lighted, it will be warm.

Feeling better?

I will get some stuff to keep warm.

Better?

How about this?

Ning Choi San

Are you bringing me with you?

Don't you scare that... I am a demon?

I am so poor, used to be.

I hate being bored but I have no choice.

Maybe that's my life.

I always bump into those I scare most.

I'm still worrying that

do you eat men like other demon?

We don't.

But that day... your friends...

ate the villagers...

at Lan York Tze...

They were not eating them.

They were sucking up their energy.

I know they are innocent.

If they didn't have evil thoughts,

they wouldn't have that smell.

And Lou Lou couldn't smell that.

Then they wouldn't caught by us.

Do I have that smell?

Ning Choi San, you are a good guy.

We have no choice.

Years ago, Lou Lou got sealed up and badly hurt.

She then used her black magic to control us.

To suck up men's energy for her to break the seal.

If we didn't obey, we will be beaten up.

Or even beaten to death.

Don't worry, I will get you out of here.

From now on, you won't live like that anymore.

Siu Sin, how are you doing?

Hurt badly?

I will find a doctor and herbs.

It's been casted by Lou Lou. It's useless

I got it, you suck my energy.

Then you will be better.

Come on.

Feeling better?

If you still want more, be my guest.

Come on.

What are you laughing at?

I smelled that.

What?

You have that smell too.

What smell?

You bastard!

Reversing the heaven and earth.

That's the Old monster.

I am gonna break your magic.

Feeling dizzy.

Old monster, do you think

you can lock me up forever?

You wake up?

I will fetch something to eat.

Ning Choi San,

Nothing.

Nip Siu Sin,

Let me... take some dog's blood...

o break your magic.

You will come to your true form.

Siu Sin.

You afraid of me?

I won't eat you though.

You are not human.

Lou Lou,

please let us off.

Do you think I will harm you?

What you said really hurt me a lot.

Although you left without saying anything,

I am not that cruel as you thought.

I am here to see you off.

For all these years,

you have been fooling countless guys,

you finally find your Mr. Right.

I really envy you.

I am really happy for you.

But you forgot one thing.

Your body is still at Lan York Tze.

Without it,

you can go no where.

Sir

You are still alive? That's great

Bullshit! Where's Siu Sin?

She...

left.

Left?

You ate so much by yourself?

I am starving.

Why are there 2 pairs of chopsticks?

You lied to me, you were with her the whole night.

I...

What did you do with her?

We...

How dare you!

Demon is here.

Except Siu Sin, who is here?

No others.

Sh*t!

I won't let you hurt Siu Sin.

Tree demon?

Go back to Black Mountain, don't stay here!

None of your business!

You have no choice, go!

None of your business!

Ning Choi San...

Ning Choi San...

Come on, let's go!

Damn! Dog's blood is useless!

You will feel painful as you struggle, go.

Ha Suet Fung Lui, what do you want?

I am thinking.

Demon! Wanna run?

I will fix you up!

Yin Chek Ha! Look at you.

You screw up your whole life.

Cos you can't tell from right to wrong,

you always hang around with demons.

You are hopeless.

So what? Wannna fight?

You think you can beat me?

I can't beat you?

Go to hell!

Damn!

Why did you come here?

I came for your rescue.

Are you that nice?

I will come to you after fixing the demon.

See...

I can beat you with one hand.

Damn! Dare you chop it off.

Ha Bing, go!

Yes!

Demon...

Siu Sin, I am coming for your rescue!

Demon! Demon...

Chyun Cheung, I told you...

she's a demon...

It's fine now... everything is settled.

- Don't worry, I will...

- Chyun Cheung

look at your hand!

Ha Bing, they are poisoned.

Quiet!

Chyun Cheung, gather everyone,

we will have a way.

Chyun Cheung, What happened?

Are we turning into demons?

Chyun Cheung... do something.

Be quiet.

Be quiet! I have something to say.

This thing is connected to the blood.

As we get excited, it will grow faster.

So, we have to stay calm.

You... What don't you have that?

Come on,

I got 2 broccoli down there.

It's killing me...

Stop crying!

It's not antidote, it can't clarify

your poison in your body.

But it can suppress the growth

of those plants.

The water you are drinking is poisonous.

It's the essence of a

Once the tree demon is killed,

your poison will be gone.

Who will deal with that tree demon?

My brother, Ha Suet Fung Lui.

He's the best demon hunter!

Ha Suet Fung Lui,

I will pay you for what I owe you.

What can you pay me?

Chop off my hand. Or you want both.

I know you will go to Black Mountain.

I will be your pioneer.

I would even die for you.

Look at yourself.

You're begging for mercy for a demon.

Yin Chek Ha, you are so stubborn.

How stubborn I am?

I have been protecting Black Mountain.

You are protecting that demon though!

Yin Chek Ha,

who are you?

Do I have anything to do with you?

I am a human and you are a demon.

You have nothing to do with me.

Don't you recognize him?

For you, he's not been himself.

You are now telling me that

you don't recognize him?

Let me tell you...

he's your lover!

Are you done?

No...

You scum,

that's bullshit.

Dare you lie to me...

I will bite you!

Get lost!

You let me out.

I will bite you to death.

What are you looking at?

You are next.

Heard that? That's demon.

In fact you do know that.

Merciless, ungrateful, unfaithful.

Just like you,

betraying your master and fellows...

You are good for nothing!

Yin Chek Ha,

what did you get at last?

I do want to use your blood

to offer to my chopper.

Then I will deal with the tree demon.

But I changed my mind though.

But scum like you, even demon would dump you.

To kill you, it would ruin my chopper.

Don't you like her?

I want you to see her vanishing.

I am gonna eat for the rest of my life.

Bro, I go with you.

- No need.

- I can help you.

To collect my body?

In fact, there's none.

I will burn this Lan York Tze

and die with the tree demon.

That would be the best ending.

I first told you that

blood and sweat can be shed...

but no tears.

As a demon hunter, one

can't think about love.

Otherwise, one will

make mistake easily.

Like Yin Chek Ha,

he's harming everyone.

I know, bro...

Siu Sin!

Siu Sin!

Ti Nga, is Siu Sin here?

Siu Sin is not here, let's go!

Go!

- Siu Sin...

- Go...

Let go of me...

I'm warning you, don't talk like me.

I am here looking for Siu Sin...

Not a chance!

You know that she's a demon,

and you still save her.

No matter she's human or demon,

I must save her.
