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')...

The picture?

How do you get this?

My father asked to draw

it a year ago.

Just found it 2 days before.

That's me!

Keep it as seeing me.

You sound like we'll never

meet again.

Yes! I'll marry the old monster,

in 3 days time.

You're not willing to.

Go away if you want to.

Let me go. It's dawn.

It's better, then we can go.

Let me off.

I won't if you don't go with me.

Release me!

Tsing!

You beggar, how can you save me?

Don't day dream.

You want my money.

I see so many of your kind.

I won't be tricked.

How can you say this?

If you don't go, I'll ask

someone to fetch you.

Ok, l go!

Take care!

Mister!

I can't find the picture!

I saw the girl.

Forget her. She died a year ago!

It's pouring, go and find a shelter!

Don't curse her.

Keep by my side.

You're totally wet!

Don't superstitions!

Don't go away!

Who's shouting?

I'm not a wanted convict.

Grab the shouting one.

You won't get fund.

Get him first.

The world is so cool.

The bearded man is a killer.

Is she dangerous?

Help me get on my feet.

Beware, don't let my new

gown get wet.

You can't affort it.

I'm coming to save you.

My mom will punish me,

I wet my clothes.

The way of life

The way...

The spoken ''way'' is not ''way''

Of haven and earth,

Of humang and swards

Of evil and good,

This way, that way, every which way

Say that their way, is the only way

Bah. Tehah, hah!

All bullshit,

This way, that way, is still not the way

Ha! Ha!

The way of flowers and tea, Ha!

Of life and death,

Of density and intensity,

Of light and heat,

Of evil spirits

Of people committing crimes

Of bad ones in power! Ha!

I find my own way

I seek

My way!

Leaving?

Tsing...!

Tsing...!

So windy!

Ning!

What happened to your eyes?

The fool punches on me!

Who?

Kneel down!

What are you doing?

It's pouring!

It doesn't matter, I always get wet.

Let's go on to the temple.

You are in danger.

That bearded guy is a killer

Come in first.

I'm coming back to tell you.

It's dripping.

Come!

Are you back to rescue me?

I miss you!

The seller said the girl died already.

Don't mention this now.

Don't forget, I'll get married in days.

Dawn, please do not come

Let the dream-like night

last forever.

Let this moment of truth

follow this moving love

and command the soul to come in.

Please ask dawn not to come ever again.

This romantic feeling now,

puts me out of this world

The warmth in that breeze

sends love through the cold rains.

Quietly let this

fervent love break through

Do not let the red sun

put us apart

This langourous night

do not change

Please command dawn

not to show itself again

The dream we are in now

can never happen again
