Legend of the Demon Cat Page #5

---

Who'd want to be known as her killer?

Not even the emperor!

So Dad invented the "Immortal Path".

How do you know?

They talked about it at Maweiyi Station.

Yellow Crane!

Talked about what?

How to trick Lady Yang!

But-

you stopped breathing.

You can seal off Qi for two days.

Then the person wakes up.

I thought the wine

would prevent her waking.

What was the wine?

Immortal Path wine.

I prepared it myself.

Dad added demon worms.

Why didn't you tell me?

I only found out later.

You visited the tomb with me.

He's my dad! I couldn't betray him

You still went with me to the tomb.

What did you hope to see?

You're as evil as them.

Get lost.

White Crane-

Who do you have in the world

besides me?

I have her.

She will wake up!

Red Crane never returned?

White Crane-

The Lady Yang we knew is dead.

I'm as upset as you.

How can men be so evil?

I want to end this suffering.

After that?

What happened?

You needed raw meat!

I know.

I can't die.

If I did, she'd have no one!

Your spirit entered the cat.

You'll never be human again.

Fine with me.

Once inside the body of the cat

his memory became mine.

Suddenly

I heard Lady Yang's desperate screams.

How'd you get back here?

Weren't you protecting Lady Yang?

I was protecting her!

But I got hungry.

And no fish eyes to eat there.

But everyone thought

he went blind weeping for her.

He lied, but he knew the truth.

You need to write that in your poem.

Or I'll kill you too.

You've already killed so many.

Many?

Three generations and I'm not done yet.

Your final target is Red Crane.

That's right.

And Lady Yang?

Where is she?

Is she still alive?

Tell me. Is she still alive?

She will wake up!

How long can you lie to yourself?

The melon magician?

What does he want?

He invited us to the banquet.

(Feast of Supreme Joy)

Just you two?

There'll be others.

That's Li Bo!

Lady Yang might speak to us tonight.

No way.

Bet?

Sure.

It's Lady Yang's jade hairpin.

So you're the Flying Cranes.

Red Crane-

Still playing with magic?

I knew it was you who took us back there.

I wanted to relive that time-

the golden era of the Flying Cranes.

The Flying Cranes are no more.

Yet Lady Yang is eternal.

Is she still alive?

Ku ka i!

I've guarded her for thirty years!

No one is to touch her!

I know you hated me for leaving.

But I've been with you all along.

See who that is?

I laid out your body in a frozen cave,

waiting for this day to come.

That is all I ever wanted.

I have no regrets.

I haven't inhabited that body for years.

White Crane-

Lady Yang would tell you

she's no longer in her body either.

Kill me now if you like.

I knew she was dead.

I just couldn't let her go.

I'm going back to Japan.

Oh.

What about the Tantric teachings?

I found in the story of Lady Yang

the greatest teachings of all.

It's in 'Song of Everlasting Sorrow' too.

Oh.

It's finished?

I'm not changing a word!

You wanted it to tell the true story.

The emotions are true.

White Crane showed us that.

But he's not in your poem.

He wrote it, not me.

That's how it is.

I'm off.

For that alone

you surpass Li Bo!

I would try the temple a second time.

To my surprise, the doors opened.

Master Huiguo is waiting for you!

He says you know him.

Ku ka i!?

Red Crane,

we meet again.

Did you find the secret key

to bring suffering to an end?
