A Chinese Ghost Story Page #4

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')...

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,
