He kidnapped Xian Xu. A battle began ... Just then, White Snake borned her new baby. What should monk Fahai do? Adapted from an old Chinese folk story but quite different from the original.
Life is so
Living through life is so
We meet, we part
Who knows? Who knows?
Love begins, love ends
Love is true, love is not
Who is it? Where is it?
lt is love
Human!
Evil!?
Reverend, what fine weather!
Yes, morning exercise is good for who
trains to attain higher spiritual elevation
Master, you`re old but have a young face
Such heavy exercise
doesn`t affect your respiration
You`ve reached
a high level in your training
How many years have you been training?
Time flies
l`ve trained for over 200 years
How about you, young man?
What a shame
l`ve just trained for over 20 years
Unlike you, you disguise well
l can tell that you`re not human
at first sight
l need you to show your true form
Holy Dragon! Holy Gods
Respected God of Earth. Bo-ye-ba-la-hung
Show your true form
No, please let me go
You`re a spider
You want to escape?
l`ve been training hard
at the Lin Tai Temple
l`ve elevated much spiritually
l`m almost a kind human now
Please let me go
Nonsense
Surplice
Bo-ye-ba-la-hung. . .
Escape? Watch my kivara patra
Collect
Reverend, please be merciful, help. . .
Be merciful, let me go!
Please let me go
You`re a kind-hearted reverend
please let me go
lf you collect me into your kirara patra
l can never reincarnate
My years of training
will be all in vain then
God is merciful
don`t make me return to evil
Shut up. Evil is always evil
God, man, ghost and evil
are of different classes
You should stay in your class
l`m under
the auspices of Lin Tai Temple. . .
Holy Dragon. Respected God of Earth
Namormitabhaya Buddha
The holy beads of the evil
There`s still its aura in the air
lsn`t that
it`s really reached high spiritual level
Did l make a mistake?
No. . . it can`t be
Another evil
Holy Gods. Respected God of Earth
Bo-ye-ba-la-hung, see
See where can you hide!
Two snake evils! l`m going to get you
Holy Dragon, the Fire of Vadjra
Catch
A villager?
Oh dear
The snake`s blanketing the rain for her
May the rain stop soon
Come back
Thank God, the rain`s stopped
Amida Buddha
We monks must guard against our lust
Be good
As you seem to have a kind disposition
l`ll exclusively let you go this time
Holy Dragon. Merciful Gods
Please give me the light of Buddha
There`s justice in the world
Good acts will be well-rewarded
and further your spiritual elevation
You`d better continue to train
in the right spiritual direction
Whatever you become will depend on that
Wine please
The moonlight before my bed
l mistook it as frost
l look up the moon, miss my hometown
Oversleeping in spring
now singing of birds is heard everywhere
Wind & rain had filled the night
how many blossoms fell in the storm?
Sun sets with the mountains
the river flows into the sea
Flowers fly
everywhere in the spring city
East wind blows the willow
The candles lit up in the palace
The smoke blows
into the courtiers` homes
The red beans are grown in the South
What were you writing?
How many of them blossom in spring
As pretty as the flower
as weak as the willow
The harlot peeped
The gentleman plays on
They are deliriously happy
What a lustful poetry, who`s it for?
You`ll soon sit for the examination
although not for high rank
you should never concentrate on lust
but your study
lt wastes time and destroy your study
You know?
Yes
Chun Tsun, how about you?
l know
Keep on reciting
Flowers fly in the city of spring
Have you sensed something?
Master, what`s that?
What`ve you found?
lt`s lucky you fled quickly
Lead the road
Flying flowers are in the city of spring
Snakes and insects are everywhere
Be careful of evils
Be careful of security
You are so ignorant that
you dare come to this holy place
Fa-hai. . .
You look so ugly
how dare you dance before Buddha?
Fa-hai. . .
Why aren`t you afraid of me?
We came from you. We had to come
Come out
l`m a wise monk
How dare you come to challenge me?
Come here, l miss you
How dare you talk to me like this?
We`re always afraid of the one we love
l love you
Damn evil
Bo-ye-ba-la-hung. . .
Fa-hai, where`re you hiding?
Don`t hide, come out, Fa-hai
Stop looking, l`m here
Come if you dare
My heart is as peaceful as Buddha
We`ve Fa-hai in our heart
we`re Fa-hai too
Right?
How dare you insult the holy Buddha?
Thunder, lightning, wind arid fire. Kill
Jinx and evil spirits. Kill
Evil demons. Kill
The messengers of hell. Kill
Holy Dragon
Holy Dragon
Respected God of Earth
Respected God of Earth
Holy Gods
Holy Gods
Protected by the Gods
Protected by the Gods
Kill
So many evils! l`ll kill them all
l`m going to destroy you
why don`t you leave?
Tenet on lust. Are you abiding by it?
Justice and injustice. Blame no one
Right or wrong is always unclear
Your mind is not pure, monk
Tenet of lust. Are you abiding by it?
Justice and injustice. Blame no one
Right and wrong is always unclear
Your mind is not pure, monk
Tenet of lust. Are you abiding it?
Justice and injustice. Blame no one
Evil-heart. . .
My merciful Buddha
l have to conquer the Evil-heart
Good and evil
will always be treated accordingly
l ruined your hundred-year training
Now, l`m trapped by my Evil-heart
lf you and l can pass these tests
maybe we`ll meet one day in future
and fly together, till we meet again
A man is looking at me with lustful eyes
A man is hit by the bamboo
He stepped into the hole accidentally
and still staring at me
1 , 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10
Take a rest after 10 steps
We have to take a rest then
Rest?
Green, look at you
You look like a human being
You have eyes, nose, ears and mouth
don`t act like a lazy snake again
lf you just stay here
how can you be human?
Shall we crawl again?
Don`t say `crawl` again
People say `walk`, understand?
l`m even tired of talking
Don`t do that. Drop it
Stretch yourself, walk straight
You`ve been training for over 1000 years
l`ve only trained for 500 years
lf you gave me another 500 years
l`d have walked smoothly with my tail tied
These two are not tails, these are legs
Nonsense, these`re legs?
At the beginning
it`s just soft tissue. Now it`s split
and we have 10 toes!
Human! Be human then
l`m fed up with it
So, go back
to the Puple Bamboo Forest alone
Go
You think l don`t want to?
But since l`ve worked for it for 500 years
l just want to spend more time
to see how good it is to be human
How good? You know
which`s the wisest among all creatures?
Humans. Alright? Learn bit by bit
How can one keep walking
with straight back?
lf you can`t manage, just twist a bit
Look at them Yeah
Twist, twist. . .
So many lanterns
Chun Tsun, you`re involved again?
You never listen to me
You`re wasting your time
Boatman, wait for me
Master Hsui, this ship`s reserved
Please wait for another boat
The rich merchants
love boat trips at Ching Ming Festival
They`ve booked all the boats
That`s the one? The one standing?
Don`t twist around, your tail shows up
lt`s been with me for 500 years
l need some time to adapt
even if l want to get rid of it
He looks cute when he`s shivering
He`s the right type
Look at him. What`s he doing?
Daydreaming
Why do you choose him?
He`s honest
l can get along with him easily
The monk in the bamboo forest
is easy to get along with too
Stop dreaming
he`s a high monk with unlimited power
We should stay far away from him
Look at you, your disguise`s showing
ls it the reflection of the lake only?
Boatman, wait
can you send me cross the lake?
Boatman, please get to the shore
Let me settle down first
Hurry up
Don`t hurry me
how can l calm myself down like this?
Ask the boatman to stop a while
lt`s not windy at all, how can we stop?
So, l have to jump into the water then
Someone`s fallen into the lake
Be careful
You too
Don`t be nervous, my sister can swim
She`s just playing
Come in, we can dry your clothes
Try my soup
l`m sorry
l`ve took your boat already
now, you offer me soup
Are you unloading?
No, it`s to set a guest off
Beware of the slippery floor
Young lady. This is for you
You have an umbrella too?
Thank you very much
Please come to my home tomorrow
to get the umbrella back
l live in the Arrow Bridge district
the White House
The White House in Arrow Bridge district
l`m called Hsui-xien, l`m a teacher
l came from Chin Tong
What?
A fly?
You catch the fly again
You always climb up and down
will you please settle down?
ln the boat
your Honest Man`s moving around a lot too
and you could bear him
You 1000-year, l, 500-year
We`re 1500-year in total
to play with a human like him
lf l lose my control and show him
my true form, he`ll be scared to death
Come down when you`ve had your fun
someone`s coming to visit us
Rat, there`s a rat
l haven`t eaten rat`s meat for ages
Even if you have another 500-year training
you`ll never change
Here we are
lt`s a big house with a garden
This evil`s over 1000-year trained
lf we catch it and extract its essence
it`ll enrich my power
Get ready to catch the evil
l have brought the necessary things here
Master
Sulfur
Someone`s preparing to set against us
Arrow Bridge district, White House. . .
Master, somebody`s around
You should alert me only if there`s evil
Ask the rest of the people
to get away from here
There`re evils here, stay clear
Please take the other way
May l know what`s happening?
There`re two snake evils inside
they`re here to look around
The house and garden are illusions
created by them
You`d better leave
That`s true
There`s never been such a big house around
Calling the rain
Their power`s higher than expected
Getting serious
you, don`t block the entrance
Students
pay more attention to this battle
Yes, Master
Hsui-xien`s right in front of our door
Green, hold on
You must control yourself
Green
We have no time, let`s rush in
Don`t get over-excited
Weapons have no eyes
We`d better retreat to the other side
lt`s not the time for me now
Retreat first!
Yes, Master
Retreat
Let`s go together
Master, watch out
This way
You blind Taoist, you can`t even see
but have a big mouth
How dare you say so!
You are blind indeed
How dare you bite me?
Who cares about you
Young man, l`m Green
You dropped something. Here
Thank you
Green, time`s running out, go now
Alright
l have no time to accompany you
Mr. Honest
Honest? l`m called Hsui-xien
So easy to get along with
Young man
You are all wet
come in to dry your clothes
Dry my clothes again?
Right, you`re wet
Young lady
l don`t want to scare you, but. . .
Have you heard that
there`re snake evils in this house?
Snake evils? lt`s a long story
So, it`s true?
Come in first
My sister and l`ve just moved here
We`re new here
and do not want to be taken advantage of
So, we came up with a strange idea
That is, to pay a monk to come
and say there`re evils
We just want to scare off anybody
with bad intentions
so as to make them stay away from us
This`s a trick only
but it`s a way of self-protection
The food`s getting cold
Eat more while it`s still hot
Why`s your hand so red? ls it hurt?
l just burnt myself when l was ironing
Put some soya on it
it`ll make you feel better
That fish
lt hurts
Well
But it hurts more if you stop
Shameless
Slow down. Avoiding is not a way-out
The evil`s coming
we have to fight with her
and see who has greater power
Yes, Master
Push me up
let her try my Magical Bells
Yes
Once again
Get this. . .
To make her show her true form
Ring away. . .
Your noise`s worse than the bells`
Take it back
The bells`re back
We can`t win on the ground
let`s go on the boat
lt`s noisy around
is there an audience?
Quite a few, Master
Since so many people`re watching
we have to continue
Yes!
Surround her Yes
There`s a boat 10 steps in front of you
A boat is at your left front
You said that there`s an audience around
why can`t l hear the applause?
Great
Watch your left, 7 steps from your left
10 steps at your right hand side
There`ll be more if there`s applause
Sulfur can kill evils
but is harmless to humans
A little is harmless
Let me show her something powerful
Master, there`s no boat ahead
There`s a boat ahead
Master, save master now
Your master`s head is so tough
lt broke the ship
Let`s talk when my master wakes up
Still getting along?
The food is cold
do you want to warm it?
l just came to collect my umbrella
Where`s it?
The umbrella? So forget the food
Where`s the umbrella?
Don`t be anxious
Where`s the umbrella?
Coming
The umbrella`s right here
lt`s called Umbrella
lt takes time to learn how to be human then
l can`t hear him studying again
He`s been very distracted lately
There`s a woman involved
l`ve heard that she`s rich
He`s become enslaved to his woman then
Oh my god! lt`s all a mess
Hsui-xien`s all a mess
He has studied his whole life
and wants achieve something
Now, his reputation`s ruined
because of a woman
What a pity
The rain`s more and more heavy
this season
Go and manage the water
Let me take care of your child
You`d be better watch out
That way`s shallower
Now, it`s a flood
we have to do something to stop the water
Thank God
The monk of the bamboo forest
lt`s destiny for us to meet again
He came to help stop the floods too
Human must learn
to live with natural disasters
but our Buddha is merciful
let me help you escape from disaster
The holy water washes the evils away
To bring happiness
Now, my charm will clean all evil
Spread
Namomitabhaya Buddha
Look, he`s really powerful
how can we compare with him?
We can`t, he`s Buddha, and Buddha`s him
Since it`s destiny for us to meet again
why not let me try to get along with him?
He`s different from Hsui-xien
he doesn`t have human passion
You`re kind-hearted indeed
l was right to let you go last time
Thank God
Teacher, please sit
Please take the herbs to the backyard
Number 183, please come over
Mr. Chiu, Mr. Tong
are you coming for medical treatment?
l`m sorry, please help yourself
Women from big houses are indeed capable
She`s great doctor
lt must be the good deeds of his last life
that brings him a wonderful woman to marry
What a good fortune
Put the herbs here
So many people today. Have to work hard
ln this cool and warm autumn day
Let me stay close to you
Let us watch the time dance by
the red leaves drifting in the air
Remind me of those moments
Half-awake, half-drunk
with smiling eyes
Let me be the drifting snow
and kiss you with my icy lips
Wave after wave
of languorous togetherness
Leaving such love in our hearts
That we can face
the many changes in life
Sharing happy moments
with your loved one
Not ask whether
your fate is your fortune
Take it while it`s hot
Thank you
Are you alright?
We`re used to be lazy in winter
ls she dead?
She`s just sleeping, let`s go on eating
Like the willow, like the breeze
Accompanying you in spring
Let yourself fall into the mist
Let all your passion out
in this never-ending spring rain
You haven`t thrown the core out yet
What if
grapes grow out from your ears and nose?
You`re quite funny
No wonder my sister wants to be human
Human? What do you mean?
Can you explain to me what`s love
What`s desire?
What?
Since sister`s not around
teach me, quick
Mind your tongue
Stop talking about that
Stop talking. Just show me
l`ll try my best to learn
Green. . .
Where`s Green?
l haven`t seen her for one whole day
Really? lsn`t it her fan?
Really?
See the sweat on your forehead!
l`m hot
Green, you want to learn what`s desire
come down
lf l knew you were willing to teach me
l`d have saved a lot of effort
Am l like you?
Yes, you`re really like me
but you`re not powerful enough
You`ll easily get into trouble
Sister, you said
human beings are passionate
l want to learn passion, l`m green
in learning. l don`t have any feelings now
Love should be constant
You have to choose another man
Must be honest?
Anyone, but not Hsui-xien
Still many choices left
lt`s good that you know it
l`d better find another man
But, how to find his type?
ln fact, men are all dishonest
lf he`s enamored of you
he`ll immediately become dishonest
lf l find him dishonest
then l have to look for a new man
l`d better just stay with you
lf you are capable
you won`t let him leave you
l can`t leave you either
Stop, stop
lf you don`t, l`ll show my true form
No
He`s back, change your form, hurry up
To beat the snakes
Mister, what`s the matter?
He used to be polite
what`s wrong with him today?
To beat the snakes
Are the knives sharp?
Our knives are so sharp
that they can cut bones
The sulfur power
kills the snakes and ants
Buy some
come and buy the fresh snake galls
lt`s really fresh
You made my place so dirty
l`m going there, don`t follow me
Snake, help. . .
Mister Hsui-xien, what`re you doing?
That snake`s fake
The Dragon Boat Festival`ll come soon
the fake snake is for decoration
Dragon Boat Festival?
Yes
Mr. Hsui`s afraid of snake
Fake?
Xiong-huang Wine!
Yes, it kills snakes and ants
Just one catty?
l`ve a small family
just one catty is enough
lt`s on the house
You give precription to others free
how can l charge you?
Take it, my compliments
His wife cured my family
Mr. Hsui
thanks to your wife for saving my family
They`re fresh, take it
l`ll send more to your house later
Mr, Hsui. He cured us
That`s him Right
Mister Hsui, thank you for saving us
lt`s my compliment
the kind-hearted will be rewarded
Wish you long life
Send my regards to your wife
You are so lucky
you and your wife are my benefactors
Thank you so much
My shadow`s like a snake too
Thank you. You`re welcome
You are drunk, sire
Thank you
Thank you. Guess how much he saw?
Will he trust this cloth?
This is the only way
Lies!
Lies?
Right, it takes practice to lie well
This`s part of the training
to attain a human form
Training again. Do we have time?
Yes
Are you sick? You`re sweating
l`m hot
Green and l learned how to dye gauze
look
lt`s so big and it`s windy
The gauze flew here and there
we could hardly catch it
Why are you so silent?
l`m hot
We laid it out finally
The gauze flies beautifully, sister
Are you worried about something?
Tell me
Doesn`t this gauze remind you of snakes?
She`s scaring me
she knows l fear snake most
Why not tell me, what`re you thinking?
l want to take the exam in the capital
to get a post in the government
Men should have ambitions
lf l become the wife
of an important man. . .
Here`s some medicine to make you awake
Green. . . Great
He says he wants to. . .
Great
l haven`t finished
Everything`s great today
Green, you really know how to talk
Yes, Green speaks well
A toast with the medicine
to wish you good luck in your exam
You should go to sleep
Great
l do want to retire earlier
You`re sweating again
Great, sweating
You really know how to joke
Yes, l like to joke
Sire, why aren`t you laughing?
Yes, yes, l`m laughing. . .
You laugh like laughing!
Let him take a rest
Don`t talk anymore
Great. l needn`t talk again
Lying is more difficult than
taking the sulfur
You think something
and you say something else
and you don`t even know
what you`re saying yourself
You don`t know
what you`re talking about
l`m afraid you would lose your control
and show your true form
What`re you doing?
Mosquito, but it`s gone
Sister, what are you doing?
Green, you can`t stay here
Tomorrow is the Dragon Boat Festival
everybody needs to drink Xiong-huang Wine
We`re snakes
the wine will make us show our true forms
lf you don`t go
l can`t imagine what`ll happen
You lied, your are snake too
Why don`t you go?
l`ve trained for 1000 years
and have greater power than you
You`re lazy in training
even the sulfur will harm you
l`ll work harder in future
l can do whatever you can do
Beat the snake, beat the snake
Kill the bad worms. . .
You want to take all your salary
in one go?
Thank you
Why`re you hurrying? To participate
in the examination in the capital?
He always says studying
is not for getting any government position
He`s gone back on his own words
What about his woman?
This is the problem
of being a woman`s man
lf he achieves nothing
he`ll be despised
No match for her
Poor thing
What a pity. . .
lt`s a blessing
Green. . . Come out
Green, today is Dragon Boat Festival
you have to go, or you can`t make it
Listen to me, go now
You don`t want me to get in your way
You can say what you like
But you can`t stay here
lt`s just for your sake
Mister Hsui, why don`t you go home?
Today is Dragon Boat Festival
you should go home
Sire
Go back
l have prepared some food for you
Sire, l want you to sit here
We should drink some wine
to celebrate this festival
Come on, let`s drink
Xiong-huang Wine!
lt`s the wine of this festival
We seldom have such leisure time
Let`s drink
My dear wife
Why aren`t you drinking?
Come on, l want you to drink
Alright
Let`s drink more
More?
Let`s enjoy ourselves
Be careful, my dear wife
After drinking the wine, l feel hot
So, undress now
You are naughty, you want me to undress
l didn`t mean anything
l just want you to cool yourself down
l want to get drunk so that
you have to watch me for the whole night
No, l have to study tonight
You prefer books to me!
No, l`m going to read
and you have to watch me
Where`s the wine?
Here
Don`t tell me it`s still here
You poured the wine into the pool?
She hasn`t gone away
lt`s good no wine is left
if there is wine, there`ll be trouble
What`s that noise?
No. Let`s go in to study
What about the food?
Study first. Forget the food
Let`s study first
But we needn`t have to run
What`s the matter? Let me check
l have a stomach ache
What? The wine gave you a stomachache?
Yes, l want you to accompany me
You want my company?
Hold me, l am cold and l feel sick too
Luckily l poured the wine into the pool
Otherwise
you`ll feel not only cold and sick
l can`t imagine what will happen then
No matter what
you should take care of me
Take a rest, l have to study
Sire. . .
l told you to leave
Why`re you still running around?
Don`t come close to me
Yes!
Your study room is over there
This is the short cut
Sire
l`m almost scared to death
Sire. . .
He`s stopped breathing
Green, wake up. You`re useless
l`ve checked the time table
this hour benefits me most
Snake, your death knell has begun to ring
Master, 2 of them inside
One`s kneeling, one is sleeping
Let`s kill them both
you made me lose my face and fame
l have to show the public your skin!
Show them my power
You damned Taoist. Change
Save your sulfur
you`re too weak to challenge me
Where are you?
Master, it`s changed back
Right behind you
You damned Taoist, you can`t even
distinguish between good and bad
Go back
l`ve much sulfur
Save it!
Go
Student, hold me
Yes, Master
l can see but l can`t hold you
lt says the time favours me
See the guest to the door
Catch me
Don`t come back
Don`t send me away
l`ll try my best to practice
l`ll listen to you
Don`t send me away
Sister
How`s Sire?
He`s scared to death
Even my power
is useless to save his life
Only the Lin Chi Herb
in Kwun-lun Mountain can save him
lf l`m not back within 3 days
you bury my husband
Don`t go, sister
The Lin Chi Herb is protected
by a Magic Crane
You can`t fight it, you will be hurt
Why not choose another man?
Even if l found another one
you`d have scared him to death too
l didn`t mean to scare you
You scared me once
Sister goes too fast
l`m afraid l can`t catch up
Sister
Sister
Sister. . .
Why are you following me? Go back
Your sword
Sister, we came to this world together
l don`t want to go back alone
Alright, follow me to Kwun-lun Mountain
Someone is using magic
Flying at such a speed
there must be something wrong
Fly!
Sister, someone`s chasing us
Speed up
Do you want to get away from me?
Holy Dragon, Holy Gods, after them
Sister, do you see Kwun-lun Mountain?
Following us very closely
l know
lsn`t that Kwun-lun Mountain?
Not yet, turn over there
We`re here
He`s coming close, go
Remember, don`t get engaged
Hold onto the holy beads
lt will help you
The Lin Chi Herb is down there
l`ll handle the crane
and you distract that powerful person
No matter what
l have to get the herb
Transform
Watch my sword
Sister, l`m here to stop them
You go back and save sire first
Why don`t you go?
Look after yourself
The holy beads?
Bo-ye-ba-la-hung. . .
The sword
Magic Crane
go back and report to the fairy
l`ll explain to him
about the Lin Chi Herb later
The monk in the bamboo forest?
Why have you come
to steal the Lin Chi Herb?
lf you don`t tell me
l`ll kill you
lt`s for saving someone
Don`t. . .
ls this mercy?
l know l should stay far away from you
please be merciful, let me go
How dare you
My sister always does this to Mr. Honest
they used to be pleased
Why are you mad about?
l want you to help me
further my training
Help you?
lf you help me test my inner strength
by distracting my concentration
l`ll let you go
Fine, l`ll try
but l don`t have much inner strength
l`m afraid
l may lose my concentration first
Snake. . . No. . . Study. . .
My dear husband
My dear wife My dearest
My dear wife
You`re awake
The wine, you know
it makes us start imagining things
l saw you become a big tiger
then l fainted
When l woke up, l discovered
that you were unconscious too
What did you see?
What did l see?
What did you see?
l saw a big, big. . .
A big elephant? lt`s scary!
Yes, elephant? Don`t panic
Your rainbow`s out again, it`s pretty
You daren`t take a glance at me
So, you`ll win
But l can tell what you`re doing
without looking at you
Life is so
Living through life is so
We meet, we part
Who knows? Who knows?
Love begins, love ends
Love is true, love is not
Who is it? Where is it?
lt is love
l never thought you`d be my first man
pity that. . .
you and l do not have human emotions
Holy Dragon, Holy Gods
Respected God of Earth, Ba-ye-ba-la-hung
Your heart`s beating fast
You lose
l won`t lose to you
Evil
You promised
you can`t go back on your words
l can defeat you
even if you closed your eyes
l`m sure l`ll conquer over you
Sister
Green
Sister, the monk
whom you said we should stay away from
he has human emotions too
He wanted me
to challenge his inner strength, he lost
Quiet, l can do it
l won. l won
Green
did you fool around in the temple?
You`re too much
Flirting with monks
You needn`t be that happy
even if you defeated the monk
Sister, l. . .
Quiet. . .
Let her take a rest
Green. . .
lf the monk comes for her
l wonder what she`ll say
You want me to sleep
at such an exciting moment
Go and study now
Why there isn`t anyone to care about me?
Mr. Honest
Green
did you really flirt with the monk?
l can do the things which sister can`t
Now, l won`t trust her anymore
Hsui-xien
Monk, why don`t you admit your failure?
See whether you can get out of my control
l`m going back to my study room
You always say l have no inner strength
But in fact
l found that everyone may lose it
including your Mr. Honest
and the monk you mentioned
l could easily do all the things
which you wasted much time to accomplish
l thought you were above all this
but you are not
You don`t need to stay with me anymore
Go
Bai Sou Ching
Green, do you want
to test your power against mine?
Yes
l know you`ve been longing for
the competition for ages, let`s fight now
Enough, l don`t want to fight again
Sister
Sister? Didn`t you call me Bai Sou Ching?
You`re really something
to make me so furious
l know you made me angry intentionally
to see whether l care about you
Sister, you know me too well
l know there`re many things
that l haven`t learnt
Since you`re like a sister
you`ll teach me
You speak well
Our kismet is at an end
l`m pregnant
Green, l can`t stay with you anymore
You can be out of my control
Sister, what`s this?
Good that
you don`t even know what a tear is
When you know what a tear is
you`ll feel the pain
No, whatever you have, l have too
Silly girl
when you know you`re winning
How will you have tears?
How can you cry?
Green, don`t push yourself
You won`t understand
You don`t have human emotions
Didn`t you want to be a snake again?
Are you really sending me away?
lt`s good to be a snake
Why. . .
when l think it`s good to be snake
and you say it`s good to be human?
And now you say
it`s good to be a snake again
Are you lying?
There`re many restrictions to be a human
it`s difficult to be a good person
So, l go back to the bamboo forest
l won`t bother you anymore
So you are back
l come from the Golden Temple
l`m called Fa-hai
From your dark forehead
l can tell you`re bewitched by evils
There must be some in your house
Evil!?
They`re snakes
one`s green and one`s white
They`ve transmuted to human forms
You are bewitched
How can a snake transmute
to a human form?
You`re in great danger, wake up
Yes, Master
These beads have my power
it can overcome many evils
You have to wear it
to avoid your doomed fate
and the snakes will be sent
to be burnt by the fire of hell
They can never reincarnate again
Thank you Master. . .
Luckily he`s not following me
Where`re you, my dear wife?
My dear husband
My dearest
l`m here
l saw a man outside
l have committed a crime
hurry up and pack
We have to leave
No, don`t pack up, where`s Green
She`s out
She`s out? she knows l`m coming back
Has she gone looking for me?
Maybe
Too bad, l have to find her
lf you have committed a crime
it`s not convenient for you to go out
Let me go and look for her
You can`t go, let me go
Why?
lt`s better for me to look for Green
Green. . . Where are you?
Green. . .
Green, don`t run into that monk, please
Honest Man
Green
Do you want me to play with you?
No playing!
Green, hurry up and leave with us
With you and her? l`ll go with you only
not both
Why?
Because you can only have one of us
l`m not good at being a human
you`d better go with sister
My dear wife
You said it`s better for you
to look for Green
So, look for Green then
My dear. Green
My dearest
Don`t keep me
Don`t be like that
Let me tell you, l know you are snakes
There`s a monk, who gave me some beads
wants to kill you both, believe me!
l threw the beads away
the monk will soon be here
lf you don`t go now
he`ll come and get you
Go now
Damn monk
What a nosy monk
Don`t stay here
No matter what, for your own sake
go now
l`m going to check where he`s about
go now
Go as far as you can
Are you looking for me?
Master
Where are the beads that l gave you?
l`ve put it inside the house
Show me
Wait, Master, wait
Where is it?
Just inside
Stop walking
lt`s gone. What`s wrong?
Let me get rid of these things
it`ll be easier for searching
Master, wait
Where`s it?
lnside
Wait
Don`t change, please, not any more
Where are they?
They should be. . .
Hanging round my neck, right?
l gave you the beads to save you
Why did you throw it into the river?
Master, l. . .
The whole house`s gone
You`ve seen through
the vanities of the world
Damn you monk, you made everything vanish
what do you want?
The evils can`t do anything to you
but l`m human
l don`t like you
l want to hit you
Merciful God, l can`t imagine
a human is more difficult to control
Follow me
Help, let me go, help. . .
You`ll die if l let you go now
Where`re you taking me to? Damn monk
l`m going to bring you
to a peaceful land, to let you repent
l`m not going
l lobe the secular world, l love it
This is my business only, not yours
l won`t go with you
You monk, why do you tie me up?
Let me go
Hsui-xien, you`re steeped in greed
sex and money
Because of greed
you love one woman after another
That`s greed, too
lf you go on like this
you`ll be controlled by evils
Fa-hai, l`m not what you say
Even if l were
it is none of your business
l don`t want to elevate spiritually
so what if l like women
Unless, you`re jealous
You`re so stubborn, shave his head
l don`t want to shave. . .
Reverend, outside. . .
Thank God, you`re finally here
l`d rather become an evil
than stay with you
Don`t! Don`t become an evil
Why did you bite me? Let me go
Let go of me. . .
OK, recite the Vadjra`s sutra
to lock him up
Let me go, damn you monks
Let me go. . .
The Golden Temple
is the forbidden place for evils
How dare you rush in?
Are you not afraid you`ll be killed?
Master, you`re above human emotions
Please let Hsui-xien and l
be a common couple
Let him go please
Since you know that human relations
do not have a place here
You also know that there`s no room
for relationships between humans and evils
You`ve defied the law of heaven
Sister, don`t trust him
he didn`t keep his promise
During the fight in Kun-lun Mountain
he promised to let me go if l could defeat him
lf l hadn`t left fast enough
he`d have gone back on his words
Now
he`s taking his revenge on Hsui-xien
He`s bullshitting
for the laws of heaven
How dare you
Keeping on reciting the sutra. . .
Fa-hai, youre a loser
Master, we`re nothing to you
Please let us go
You crossed the line
you should be punished
l say
you lost and you should be punished
How dare you!
Stop this nonsense
Sister, stop begging him
He wants to hide his stupidity
Since he doesn`t let us go up
to the Golden Temple
Green, let`s pull the mountain down
We`ll flood it
Let the seas roar
let the skies be drowned
l want you to let him go, let him go
Sister, can we make it? Will it. . .
l don`t know, l just know
how to be human
and to follow the human regulations
lf this is wrong
why should l have trained for 1000 years?
Sister, all your years of hard work
is it worth giving up for him?
lt`s not my choice
l just want to save Hsui-xien
Alright, let`s do it
ls this the best you can do?
Holy Dragon. Holy Dragon
Tai Lo Charm. Tai Lo Charm
Holy Gods. Holy Gods
Bo-ye-ba-la-hung. . . Bo-ye-ba-la-hung. . .
Move the mountain
Rise
He has raised the Temple
So, we raise the water too
See how high can he make it
Let it rise to the heavens
then the gods can be our judges
Rise
We can`t catch up with him
Let`s see how long can he keep it there
Go on. Don`t let it down
How can you show such poor witchcraft
in front of me?
l`ll get you! The surplice
He wants to collect us with his surplice
We can still go
Let`s go?!
Green, you leave alone
Let`s go together
You go first
You don`t know what awaits you
Still here
Do you think l`m dead
Bo-ye-ba-la-hung. . .
We have to escape separately
l won`t leave you
Then go into the water with me
Let me show my true form
Agreed
Fly over the surplice
Want to fly over my surplice?
Not that easy!
Bo-ye-ba-la-hung. . .
The surplice`s enriched with his power
We`re leaving here
Holy Dragon, Respected Gods of Earth
Holy Gods
Flying Dragon, go
We have to avoid the fire
l know
l beg of you
please let my wife and Green go
l`m willing to be monk, alright?
Please let them go
From now on, you should forget your past
and repent
No problem
just tell them to stop fighting
l hate the world, l wish to be a monk
l wish to give up everything
Just tell me
l`ll do whatever you want
Again
Extinguish
Fa-hai, the fire dragon is fixed by me
what else do you have?
Green
Sister, what`s wrong?
All this has caused me to go into labour
l can`t control the water anymore
Oh, no!
The water`s rushing towards the villagers
Sister, the water`s rushing towards us
You created a disaster
You`ll never make up for it
Green, help me Sister
Help me
Take a hold of me
lt`s too late for you to repent
You defy the laws of heaven
your only way out is death
You forced us into fighting with you
causing so many deaths
Don`t you remember we used our power
to control water, we wanted to save people
Fault after merit, it`s still a fault
Nothing you say will change it
l`ll get you
Damn you monks! Be merciful
you won`t even let a new-born baby off?
The snake gave birth to a baby?
Now you leave the sea of pain
you`re saved
Merciful God. Have mercy
Your pain comes from yourself
you deserve it
Green Sister
l`m so weak
She`s really elevated herself
to a human! You`re lying!
Sou Ching isn`t human. No way. . .
Green, are you with me?
Yes, sister, l`m always with you
Buddhist paradise, no ears
True happiness, no eyes
Great nirvana, no sound
Peaceful land, no heart
All is nothingness. . .
Sister
Sister
l`ve been fighting with a human
all along
Green, Fa-hai is losing concentration
There`s a gap
save my husband now
Or, what we`ve done will be in vain
l`ll go and save him
You always said there`s love in humans
don`t you think evils have love too?
We`ve been together for 500 years
There`s love between us too
Have you ever treated me as a human?
Evils!
Hsui-xien. . .
Monk, hand me Hsui-xien
Where have you kept him?
Namomitabhaya buddha. . .
Damn you monk!
You must have cut off his senses
You think l can`t find him
l`ll find him, Hsui-xien
Catch the evil
Hsui-xien. . .
Hsui-xien. . .
Hsui-xien. . .
Hsui-xien. . .
Poor thing!
All your senses have been sealed up
Green
lt`s not right to have the desire
to hang on to the secular world
Such sins. Repentance
lt`s useless for you to say anything now
You betrayed us
Sire
Sire
Green. . .
Bai Sou Ching,
the Thunder-Peak Pagoda. . . Danger!
Holy Dragon
Let me help you block the water. Up
Water. . .
Water. . .
The Golden Temple`s flooded
Retract the surplice. Back
Bai Sou Ching
Save my son. . .
Bai Sou Ching, l`m here to save you
Save my son first
Give it to me
Fa-hai, please let them go
Sou Ching. . .
Sister. . .
l`ve got Hsui-xien for you, Sister
Come back
l have got you Hsui-xien, Sister
Where`s Sister?
l can`t find her
You should be with Sister
Life is so
Living through life is so
We meet, we part
You have committed all sorts of sins
Now, you have even killed
l want you to be completely destroyed
Fa-hai, you killed many too
Look at the monks
they`re all killed by you
l committed fault after merit too?
l come to earth
and have been misled by the world
You said there`s love in the human world
but what`s love?
lt`s really ridiculous
even the humans don`t know
When you have worked it out
maybe l`ll return
Green
Living through life is so
We meet, we part
Who knows? Who knows?
Love begins, love ends
Love is true, love is not
Who is it? Where is it?
lt is love
Human!
Evil!?
Reverend, what fine weather!
Yes, morning exercise is good for who
trains to attain higher spiritual elevation
Master, you`re old but have a young face
Such heavy exercise
doesn`t affect your respiration
You`ve reached
a high level in your training
How many years have you been training?
Time flies
l`ve trained for over 200 years
How about you, young man?
What a shame
l`ve just trained for over 20 years
Unlike you, you disguise well
l can tell that you`re not human
at first sight
l need you to show your true form
Holy Dragon! Holy Gods
Respected God of Earth. Bo-ye-ba-la-hung
Show your true form
No, please let me go
You`re a spider
You want to escape?
l`ve been training hard
at the Lin Tai Temple
l`ve elevated much spiritually
l`m almost a kind human now
Please let me go
Nonsense
Surplice
Bo-ye-ba-la-hung. . .
Escape? Watch my kivara patra
Collect
Reverend, please be merciful, help. . .
Be merciful, let me go!
Please let me go
You`re a kind-hearted reverend
please let me go
lf you collect me into your kirara patra
l can never reincarnate
My years of training
will be all in vain then
God is merciful
don`t make me return to evil
Shut up. Evil is always evil
God, man, ghost and evil
are of different classes
You should stay in your class
l`m under
the auspices of Lin Tai Temple. . .
Holy Dragon. Respected God of Earth
Namormitabhaya Buddha
The holy beads of the evil
There`s still its aura in the air
lsn`t that
it`s really reached high spiritual level
Did l make a mistake?
No. . . it can`t be
Another evil
Holy Gods. Respected God of Earth
Bo-ye-ba-la-hung, see
See where can you hide!
Two snake evils! l`m going to get you
Holy Dragon, the Fire of Vadjra
Catch
A villager?
Oh dear
The snake`s blanketing the rain for her
May the rain stop soon
Come back
Thank God, the rain`s stopped
Amida Buddha
We monks must guard against our lust
Be good
As you seem to have a kind disposition
l`ll exclusively let you go this time
Holy Dragon. Merciful Gods
Please give me the light of Buddha
There`s justice in the world
Good acts will be well-rewarded
and further your spiritual elevation
You`d better continue to train
in the right spiritual direction
Whatever you become will depend on that
Wine please
The moonlight before my bed
l mistook it as frost
l look up the moon, miss my hometown
Oversleeping in spring
now singing of birds is heard everywhere
Wind & rain had filled the night
how many blossoms fell in the storm?
Sun sets with the mountains
the river flows into the sea
Flowers fly
everywhere in the spring city
East wind blows the willow
The candles lit up in the palace
The smoke blows
into the courtiers` homes
The red beans are grown in the South
What were you writing?
How many of them blossom in spring
As pretty as the flower
as weak as the willow
The harlot peeped
The gentleman plays on
They are deliriously happy
What a lustful poetry, who`s it for?
You`ll soon sit for the examination
although not for high rank
you should never concentrate on lust
but your study
lt wastes time and destroy your study
You know?
Yes
Chun Tsun, how about you?
l know
Keep on reciting
Flowers fly in the city of spring
Have you sensed something?
Master, what`s that?
What`ve you found?
lt`s lucky you fled quickly
Lead the road
Flying flowers are in the city of spring
Snakes and insects are everywhere
Be careful of evils
Be careful of security
You are so ignorant that
you dare come to this holy place
Fa-hai. . .
You look so ugly
how dare you dance before Buddha?
Fa-hai. . .
Why aren`t you afraid of me?
We came from you. We had to come
Come out
l`m a wise monk
How dare you come to challenge me?
Come here, l miss you
How dare you talk to me like this?
We`re always afraid of the one we love
l love you
Damn evil
Bo-ye-ba-la-hung. . .
Fa-hai, where`re you hiding?
Don`t hide, come out, Fa-hai
Stop looking, l`m here
Come if you dare
My heart is as peaceful as Buddha
We`ve Fa-hai in our heart
we`re Fa-hai too
Right?
How dare you insult the holy Buddha?
Thunder, lightning, wind arid fire. Kill
Jinx and evil spirits. Kill
Evil demons. Kill
The messengers of hell. Kill
Holy Dragon
Holy Dragon
Respected God of Earth
Respected God of Earth
Holy Gods
Holy Gods
Protected by the Gods
Protected by the Gods
Kill
So many evils! l`ll kill them all
l`m going to destroy you
why don`t you leave?
Tenet on lust. Are you abiding by it?
Justice and injustice. Blame no one
Right or wrong is always unclear
Your mind is not pure, monk
Tenet of lust. Are you abiding by it?
Justice and injustice. Blame no one
Right and wrong is always unclear
Your mind is not pure, monk
Tenet of lust. Are you abiding it?
Justice and injustice. Blame no one
Evil-heart. . .
My merciful Buddha
l have to conquer the Evil-heart
Good and evil
will always be treated accordingly
l ruined your hundred-year training
Now, l`m trapped by my Evil-heart
lf you and l can pass these tests
maybe we`ll meet one day in future
and fly together, till we meet again
A man is looking at me with lustful eyes
A man is hit by the bamboo
He stepped into the hole accidentally
and still staring at me
1 , 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10
Take a rest after 10 steps
We have to take a rest then
Rest?
Green, look at you
You look like a human being
You have eyes, nose, ears and mouth
don`t act like a lazy snake again
lf you just stay here
how can you be human?
Shall we crawl again?
Don`t say `crawl` again
People say `walk`, understand?
l`m even tired of talking
Don`t do that. Drop it
Stretch yourself, walk straight
You`ve been training for over 1000 years
l`ve only trained for 500 years
lf you gave me another 500 years
l`d have walked smoothly with my tail tied
These two are not tails, these are legs
Nonsense, these`re legs?
At the beginning
it`s just soft tissue. Now it`s split
and we have 10 toes!
Human! Be human then
l`m fed up with it
So, go back
to the Puple Bamboo Forest alone
Go
You think l don`t want to?
But since l`ve worked for it for 500 years
l just want to spend more time
to see how good it is to be human
How good? You know
which`s the wisest among all creatures?
Humans. Alright? Learn bit by bit
How can one keep walking
with straight back?
lf you can`t manage, just twist a bit
Look at them Yeah
Twist, twist. . .
So many lanterns
Chun Tsun, you`re involved again?
You never listen to me
You`re wasting your time
Boatman, wait for me
Master Hsui, this ship`s reserved
Please wait for another boat
The rich merchants
love boat trips at Ching Ming Festival
They`ve booked all the boats
That`s the one? The one standing?
Don`t twist around, your tail shows up
lt`s been with me for 500 years
l need some time to adapt
even if l want to get rid of it
He looks cute when he`s shivering
He`s the right type
Look at him. What`s he doing?
Daydreaming
Why do you choose him?
He`s honest
l can get along with him easily
The monk in the bamboo forest
is easy to get along with too
Stop dreaming
he`s a high monk with unlimited power
We should stay far away from him
Look at you, your disguise`s showing
ls it the reflection of the lake only?
Boatman, wait
can you send me cross the lake?
Boatman, please get to the shore
Let me settle down first
Hurry up
Don`t hurry me
how can l calm myself down like this?
Ask the boatman to stop a while
lt`s not windy at all, how can we stop?
So, l have to jump into the water then
Someone`s fallen into the lake
Be careful
You too
Don`t be nervous, my sister can swim
She`s just playing
Come in, we can dry your clothes
Try my soup
l`m sorry
l`ve took your boat already
now, you offer me soup
Are you unloading?
No, it`s to set a guest off
Beware of the slippery floor
Young lady. This is for you
You have an umbrella too?
Thank you very much
Please come to my home tomorrow
to get the umbrella back
l live in the Arrow Bridge district
the White House
The White House in Arrow Bridge district
l`m called Hsui-xien, l`m a teacher
l came from Chin Tong
What?
A fly?
You catch the fly again
You always climb up and down
will you please settle down?
ln the boat
your Honest Man`s moving around a lot too
and you could bear him
You 1000-year, l, 500-year
We`re 1500-year in total
to play with a human like him
lf l lose my control and show him
my true form, he`ll be scared to death
Come down when you`ve had your fun
someone`s coming to visit us
Rat, there`s a rat
l haven`t eaten rat`s meat for ages
Even if you have another 500-year training
you`ll never change
Here we are
lt`s a big house with a garden
This evil`s over 1000-year trained
lf we catch it and extract its essence
it`ll enrich my power
Get ready to catch the evil
l have brought the necessary things here
Master
Sulfur
Someone`s preparing to set against us
Arrow Bridge district, White House. . .
Master, somebody`s around
You should alert me only if there`s evil
Ask the rest of the people
to get away from here
There`re evils here, stay clear
Please take the other way
May l know what`s happening?
There`re two snake evils inside
they`re here to look around
The house and garden are illusions
created by them
You`d better leave
That`s true
There`s never been such a big house around
Calling the rain
Their power`s higher than expected
Getting serious
you, don`t block the entrance
Students
pay more attention to this battle
Yes, Master
Hsui-xien`s right in front of our door
Green, hold on
You must control yourself
Green
We have no time, let`s rush in
Don`t get over-excited
Weapons have no eyes
We`d better retreat to the other side
lt`s not the time for me now
Retreat first!
Yes, Master
Retreat
Let`s go together
Master, watch out
This way
You blind Taoist, you can`t even see
but have a big mouth
How dare you say so!
You are blind indeed
How dare you bite me?
Who cares about you
Young man, l`m Green
You dropped something. Here
Thank you
Green, time`s running out, go now
Alright
l have no time to accompany you
Mr. Honest
Honest? l`m called Hsui-xien
So easy to get along with
Young man
You are all wet
come in to dry your clothes
Dry my clothes again?
Right, you`re wet
Young lady
l don`t want to scare you, but. . .
Have you heard that
there`re snake evils in this house?
Snake evils? lt`s a long story
So, it`s true?
Come in first
My sister and l`ve just moved here
We`re new here
and do not want to be taken advantage of
So, we came up with a strange idea
That is, to pay a monk to come
and say there`re evils
We just want to scare off anybody
with bad intentions
so as to make them stay away from us
This`s a trick only
but it`s a way of self-protection
The food`s getting cold
Eat more while it`s still hot
Why`s your hand so red? ls it hurt?
l just burnt myself when l was ironing
Put some soya on it
it`ll make you feel better
That fish
lt hurts
Well
But it hurts more if you stop
Shameless
Slow down. Avoiding is not a way-out
The evil`s coming
we have to fight with her
and see who has greater power
Yes, Master
Push me up
let her try my Magical Bells
Yes
Once again
Get this. . .
To make her show her true form
Ring away. . .
Your noise`s worse than the bells`
Take it back
The bells`re back
We can`t win on the ground
let`s go on the boat
lt`s noisy around
is there an audience?
Quite a few, Master
Since so many people`re watching
we have to continue
Yes!
Surround her Yes
There`s a boat 10 steps in front of you
A boat is at your left front
You said that there`s an audience around
why can`t l hear the applause?
Great
Watch your left, 7 steps from your left
10 steps at your right hand side
There`ll be more if there`s applause
Sulfur can kill evils
but is harmless to humans
A little is harmless
Let me show her something powerful
Master, there`s no boat ahead
There`s a boat ahead
Master, save master now
Your master`s head is so tough
lt broke the ship
Let`s talk when my master wakes up
Still getting along?
The food is cold
do you want to warm it?
l just came to collect my umbrella
Where`s it?
The umbrella? So forget the food
Where`s the umbrella?
Don`t be anxious
Where`s the umbrella?
Coming
The umbrella`s right here
lt`s called Umbrella
lt takes time to learn how to be human then
l can`t hear him studying again
He`s been very distracted lately
There`s a woman involved
l`ve heard that she`s rich
He`s become enslaved to his woman then
Oh my god! lt`s all a mess
Hsui-xien`s all a mess
He has studied his whole life
and wants achieve something
Now, his reputation`s ruined
because of a woman
What a pity
The rain`s more and more heavy
this season
Go and manage the water
Let me take care of your child
You`d be better watch out
That way`s shallower
Now, it`s a flood
we have to do something to stop the water
Thank God
The monk of the bamboo forest
lt`s destiny for us to meet again
He came to help stop the floods too
Human must learn
to live with natural disasters
but our Buddha is merciful
let me help you escape from disaster
The holy water washes the evils away
To bring happiness
Now, my charm will clean all evil
Spread
Namomitabhaya Buddha
Look, he`s really powerful
how can we compare with him?
We can`t, he`s Buddha, and Buddha`s him
Since it`s destiny for us to meet again
why not let me try to get along with him?
He`s different from Hsui-xien
he doesn`t have human passion
You`re kind-hearted indeed
l was right to let you go last time
Thank God
Teacher, please sit
Please take the herbs to the backyard
Number 183, please come over
Mr. Chiu, Mr. Tong
are you coming for medical treatment?
l`m sorry, please help yourself
Women from big houses are indeed capable
She`s great doctor
lt must be the good deeds of his last life
that brings him a wonderful woman to marry
What a good fortune
Put the herbs here
So many people today. Have to work hard
ln this cool and warm autumn day
Let me stay close to you
Let us watch the time dance by
the red leaves drifting in the air
Remind me of those moments
Half-awake, half-drunk
with smiling eyes
Let me be the drifting snow
and kiss you with my icy lips
Wave after wave
of languorous togetherness
Leaving such love in our hearts
That we can face
the many changes in life
Sharing happy moments
with your loved one
Not ask whether
your fate is your fortune
Take it while it`s hot
Thank you
Are you alright?
We`re used to be lazy in winter
ls she dead?
She`s just sleeping, let`s go on eating
Like the willow, like the breeze
Accompanying you in spring
Let yourself fall into the mist
Let all your passion out
in this never-ending spring rain
You haven`t thrown the core out yet
What if
grapes grow out from your ears and nose?
You`re quite funny
No wonder my sister wants to be human
Human? What do you mean?
Can you explain to me what`s love
What`s desire?
What?
Since sister`s not around
teach me, quick
Mind your tongue
Stop talking about that
Stop talking. Just show me
l`ll try my best to learn
Green. . .
Where`s Green?
l haven`t seen her for one whole day
Really? lsn`t it her fan?
Really?
See the sweat on your forehead!
l`m hot
Green, you want to learn what`s desire
come down
lf l knew you were willing to teach me
l`d have saved a lot of effort
Am l like you?
Yes, you`re really like me
but you`re not powerful enough
You`ll easily get into trouble
Sister, you said
human beings are passionate
l want to learn passion, l`m green
in learning. l don`t have any feelings now
Love should be constant
You have to choose another man
Must be honest?
Anyone, but not Hsui-xien
Still many choices left
lt`s good that you know it
l`d better find another man
But, how to find his type?
ln fact, men are all dishonest
lf he`s enamored of you
he`ll immediately become dishonest
lf l find him dishonest
then l have to look for a new man
l`d better just stay with you
lf you are capable
you won`t let him leave you
l can`t leave you either
Stop, stop
lf you don`t, l`ll show my true form
No
He`s back, change your form, hurry up
To beat the snakes
Mister, what`s the matter?
He used to be polite
what`s wrong with him today?
To beat the snakes
Are the knives sharp?
Our knives are so sharp
that they can cut bones
The sulfur power
kills the snakes and ants
Buy some
come and buy the fresh snake galls
lt`s really fresh
You made my place so dirty
l`m going there, don`t follow me
Snake, help. . .
Mister Hsui-xien, what`re you doing?
That snake`s fake
The Dragon Boat Festival`ll come soon
the fake snake is for decoration
Dragon Boat Festival?
Yes
Mr. Hsui`s afraid of snake
Fake?
Xiong-huang Wine!
Yes, it kills snakes and ants
Just one catty?
l`ve a small family
just one catty is enough
lt`s on the house
You give precription to others free
how can l charge you?
Take it, my compliments
His wife cured my family
Mr. Hsui
thanks to your wife for saving my family
They`re fresh, take it
l`ll send more to your house later
Mr, Hsui. He cured us
That`s him Right
Mister Hsui, thank you for saving us
lt`s my compliment
the kind-hearted will be rewarded
Wish you long life
Send my regards to your wife
You are so lucky
you and your wife are my benefactors
Thank you so much
My shadow`s like a snake too
Thank you. You`re welcome
You are drunk, sire
Thank you
Thank you. Guess how much he saw?
Will he trust this cloth?
This is the only way
Lies!
Lies?
Right, it takes practice to lie well
This`s part of the training
to attain a human form
Training again. Do we have time?
Yes
Are you sick? You`re sweating
l`m hot
Green and l learned how to dye gauze
look
lt`s so big and it`s windy
The gauze flew here and there
we could hardly catch it
Why are you so silent?
l`m hot
We laid it out finally
The gauze flies beautifully, sister
Are you worried about something?
Tell me
Doesn`t this gauze remind you of snakes?
She`s scaring me
she knows l fear snake most
Why not tell me, what`re you thinking?
l want to take the exam in the capital
to get a post in the government
Men should have ambitions
lf l become the wife
of an important man. . .
Here`s some medicine to make you awake
Green. . . Great
He says he wants to. . .
Great
l haven`t finished
Everything`s great today
Green, you really know how to talk
Yes, Green speaks well
A toast with the medicine
to wish you good luck in your exam
You should go to sleep
Great
l do want to retire earlier
You`re sweating again
Great, sweating
You really know how to joke
Yes, l like to joke
Sire, why aren`t you laughing?
Yes, yes, l`m laughing. . .
You laugh like laughing!
Let him take a rest
Don`t talk anymore
Great. l needn`t talk again
Lying is more difficult than
taking the sulfur
You think something
and you say something else
and you don`t even know
what you`re saying yourself
You don`t know
what you`re talking about
l`m afraid you would lose your control
and show your true form
What`re you doing?
Mosquito, but it`s gone
Sister, what are you doing?
Green, you can`t stay here
Tomorrow is the Dragon Boat Festival
everybody needs to drink Xiong-huang Wine
We`re snakes
the wine will make us show our true forms
lf you don`t go
l can`t imagine what`ll happen
You lied, your are snake too
Why don`t you go?
l`ve trained for 1000 years
and have greater power than you
You`re lazy in training
even the sulfur will harm you
l`ll work harder in future
l can do whatever you can do
Beat the snake, beat the snake
Kill the bad worms. . .
You want to take all your salary
in one go?
Thank you
Why`re you hurrying? To participate
in the examination in the capital?
He always says studying
is not for getting any government position
He`s gone back on his own words
What about his woman?
This is the problem
of being a woman`s man
lf he achieves nothing
he`ll be despised
No match for her
Poor thing
What a pity. . .
lt`s a blessing
Green. . . Come out
Green, today is Dragon Boat Festival
you have to go, or you can`t make it
Listen to me, go now
You don`t want me to get in your way
You can say what you like
But you can`t stay here
lt`s just for your sake
Mister Hsui, why don`t you go home?
Today is Dragon Boat Festival
you should go home
Sire
Go back
l have prepared some food for you
Sire, l want you to sit here
We should drink some wine
to celebrate this festival
Come on, let`s drink
Xiong-huang Wine!
lt`s the wine of this festival
We seldom have such leisure time
Let`s drink
My dear wife
Why aren`t you drinking?
Come on, l want you to drink
Alright
Let`s drink more
More?
Let`s enjoy ourselves
Be careful, my dear wife
After drinking the wine, l feel hot
So, undress now
You are naughty, you want me to undress
l didn`t mean anything
l just want you to cool yourself down
l want to get drunk so that
you have to watch me for the whole night
No, l have to study tonight
You prefer books to me!
No, l`m going to read
and you have to watch me
Where`s the wine?
Here
Don`t tell me it`s still here
You poured the wine into the pool?
She hasn`t gone away
lt`s good no wine is left
if there is wine, there`ll be trouble
What`s that noise?
No. Let`s go in to study
What about the food?
Study first. Forget the food
Let`s study first
But we needn`t have to run
What`s the matter? Let me check
l have a stomach ache
What? The wine gave you a stomachache?
Yes, l want you to accompany me
You want my company?
Hold me, l am cold and l feel sick too
Luckily l poured the wine into the pool
Otherwise
you`ll feel not only cold and sick
l can`t imagine what will happen then
No matter what
you should take care of me
Take a rest, l have to study
Sire. . .
l told you to leave
Why`re you still running around?
Don`t come close to me
Yes!
Your study room is over there
This is the short cut
Sire
l`m almost scared to death
Sire. . .
He`s stopped breathing
Green, wake up. You`re useless
l`ve checked the time table
this hour benefits me most
Snake, your death knell has begun to ring
Master, 2 of them inside
One`s kneeling, one is sleeping
Let`s kill them both
you made me lose my face and fame
l have to show the public your skin!
Show them my power
You damned Taoist. Change
Save your sulfur
you`re too weak to challenge me
Where are you?
Master, it`s changed back
Right behind you
You damned Taoist, you can`t even
distinguish between good and bad
Go back
l`ve much sulfur
Save it!
Go
Student, hold me
Yes, Master
l can see but l can`t hold you
lt says the time favours me
See the guest to the door
Catch me
Don`t come back
Don`t send me away
l`ll try my best to practice
l`ll listen to you
Don`t send me away
Sister
How`s Sire?
He`s scared to death
Even my power
is useless to save his life
Only the Lin Chi Herb
in Kwun-lun Mountain can save him
lf l`m not back within 3 days
you bury my husband
Don`t go, sister
The Lin Chi Herb is protected
by a Magic Crane
You can`t fight it, you will be hurt
Why not choose another man?
Even if l found another one
you`d have scared him to death too
l didn`t mean to scare you
You scared me once
Sister goes too fast
l`m afraid l can`t catch up
Sister
Sister
Sister. . .
Why are you following me? Go back
Your sword
Sister, we came to this world together
l don`t want to go back alone
Alright, follow me to Kwun-lun Mountain
Someone is using magic
Flying at such a speed
there must be something wrong
Fly!
Sister, someone`s chasing us
Speed up
Do you want to get away from me?
Holy Dragon, Holy Gods, after them
Sister, do you see Kwun-lun Mountain?
Following us very closely
l know
lsn`t that Kwun-lun Mountain?
Not yet, turn over there
We`re here
He`s coming close, go
Remember, don`t get engaged
Hold onto the holy beads
lt will help you
The Lin Chi Herb is down there
l`ll handle the crane
and you distract that powerful person
No matter what
l have to get the herb
Transform
Watch my sword
Sister, l`m here to stop them
You go back and save sire first
Why don`t you go?
Look after yourself
The holy beads?
Bo-ye-ba-la-hung. . .
The sword
Magic Crane
go back and report to the fairy
l`ll explain to him
about the Lin Chi Herb later
The monk in the bamboo forest?
Why have you come
to steal the Lin Chi Herb?
lf you don`t tell me
l`ll kill you
lt`s for saving someone
Don`t. . .
ls this mercy?
l know l should stay far away from you
please be merciful, let me go
How dare you
My sister always does this to Mr. Honest
they used to be pleased
Why are you mad about?
l want you to help me
further my training
Help you?
lf you help me test my inner strength
by distracting my concentration
l`ll let you go
Fine, l`ll try
but l don`t have much inner strength
l`m afraid
l may lose my concentration first
Snake. . . No. . . Study. . .
My dear husband
My dear wife My dearest
My dear wife
You`re awake
The wine, you know
it makes us start imagining things
l saw you become a big tiger
then l fainted
When l woke up, l discovered
that you were unconscious too
What did you see?
What did l see?
What did you see?
l saw a big, big. . .
A big elephant? lt`s scary!
Yes, elephant? Don`t panic
Your rainbow`s out again, it`s pretty
You daren`t take a glance at me
So, you`ll win
But l can tell what you`re doing
without looking at you
Life is so
Living through life is so
We meet, we part
Who knows? Who knows?
Love begins, love ends
Love is true, love is not
Who is it? Where is it?
lt is love
l never thought you`d be my first man
pity that. . .
you and l do not have human emotions
Holy Dragon, Holy Gods
Respected God of Earth, Ba-ye-ba-la-hung
Your heart`s beating fast
You lose
l won`t lose to you
Evil
You promised
you can`t go back on your words
l can defeat you
even if you closed your eyes
l`m sure l`ll conquer over you
Sister
Green
Sister, the monk
whom you said we should stay away from
he has human emotions too
He wanted me
to challenge his inner strength, he lost
Quiet, l can do it
l won. l won
Green
did you fool around in the temple?
You`re too much
Flirting with monks
You needn`t be that happy
even if you defeated the monk
Sister, l. . .
Quiet. . .
Let her take a rest
Green. . .
lf the monk comes for her
l wonder what she`ll say
You want me to sleep
at such an exciting moment
Go and study now
Why there isn`t anyone to care about me?
Mr. Honest
Green
did you really flirt with the monk?
l can do the things which sister can`t
Now, l won`t trust her anymore
Hsui-xien
Monk, why don`t you admit your failure?
See whether you can get out of my control
l`m going back to my study room
You always say l have no inner strength
But in fact
l found that everyone may lose it
including your Mr. Honest
and the monk you mentioned
l could easily do all the things
which you wasted much time to accomplish
l thought you were above all this
but you are not
You don`t need to stay with me anymore
Go
Bai Sou Ching
Green, do you want
to test your power against mine?
Yes
l know you`ve been longing for
the competition for ages, let`s fight now
Enough, l don`t want to fight again
Sister
Sister? Didn`t you call me Bai Sou Ching?
You`re really something
to make me so furious
l know you made me angry intentionally
to see whether l care about you
Sister, you know me too well
l know there`re many things
that l haven`t learnt
Since you`re like a sister
you`ll teach me
You speak well
Our kismet is at an end
l`m pregnant
Green, l can`t stay with you anymore
You can be out of my control
Sister, what`s this?
Good that
you don`t even know what a tear is
When you know what a tear is
you`ll feel the pain
No, whatever you have, l have too
Silly girl
when you know you`re winning
How will you have tears?
How can you cry?
Green, don`t push yourself
You won`t understand
You don`t have human emotions
Didn`t you want to be a snake again?
Are you really sending me away?
lt`s good to be a snake
Why. . .
when l think it`s good to be snake
and you say it`s good to be human?
And now you say
it`s good to be a snake again
Are you lying?
There`re many restrictions to be a human
it`s difficult to be a good person
So, l go back to the bamboo forest
l won`t bother you anymore
So you are back
l come from the Golden Temple
l`m called Fa-hai
From your dark forehead
l can tell you`re bewitched by evils
There must be some in your house
Evil!?
They`re snakes
one`s green and one`s white
They`ve transmuted to human forms
You are bewitched
How can a snake transmute
to a human form?
You`re in great danger, wake up
Yes, Master
These beads have my power
it can overcome many evils
You have to wear it
to avoid your doomed fate
and the snakes will be sent
to be burnt by the fire of hell
They can never reincarnate again
Thank you Master. . .
Luckily he`s not following me
Where`re you, my dear wife?
My dear husband
My dearest
l`m here
l saw a man outside
l have committed a crime
hurry up and pack
We have to leave
No, don`t pack up, where`s Green
She`s out
She`s out? she knows l`m coming back
Has she gone looking for me?
Maybe
Too bad, l have to find her
lf you have committed a crime
it`s not convenient for you to go out
Let me go and look for her
You can`t go, let me go
Why?
lt`s better for me to look for Green
Green. . . Where are you?
Green. . .
Green, don`t run into that monk, please
Honest Man
Green
Do you want me to play with you?
No playing!
Green, hurry up and leave with us
With you and her? l`ll go with you only
not both
Why?
Because you can only have one of us
l`m not good at being a human
you`d better go with sister
My dear wife
You said it`s better for you
to look for Green
So, look for Green then
My dear. Green
My dearest
Don`t keep me
Don`t be like that
Let me tell you, l know you are snakes
There`s a monk, who gave me some beads
wants to kill you both, believe me!
l threw the beads away
the monk will soon be here
lf you don`t go now
he`ll come and get you
Go now
Damn monk
What a nosy monk
Don`t stay here
No matter what, for your own sake
go now
l`m going to check where he`s about
go now
Go as far as you can
Are you looking for me?
Master
Where are the beads that l gave you?
l`ve put it inside the house
Show me
Wait, Master, wait
Where is it?
Just inside
Stop walking
lt`s gone. What`s wrong?
Let me get rid of these things
it`ll be easier for searching
Master, wait
Where`s it?
lnside
Wait
Don`t change, please, not any more
Where are they?
They should be. . .
Hanging round my neck, right?
l gave you the beads to save you
Why did you throw it into the river?
Master, l. . .
The whole house`s gone
You`ve seen through
the vanities of the world
Damn you monk, you made everything vanish
what do you want?
The evils can`t do anything to you
but l`m human
l don`t like you
l want to hit you
Merciful God, l can`t imagine
a human is more difficult to control
Follow me
Help, let me go, help. . .
You`ll die if l let you go now
Where`re you taking me to? Damn monk
l`m going to bring you
to a peaceful land, to let you repent
l`m not going
l lobe the secular world, l love it
This is my business only, not yours
l won`t go with you
You monk, why do you tie me up?
Let me go
Hsui-xien, you`re steeped in greed
sex and money
Because of greed
you love one woman after another
That`s greed, too
lf you go on like this
you`ll be controlled by evils
Fa-hai, l`m not what you say
Even if l were
it is none of your business
l don`t want to elevate spiritually
so what if l like women
Unless, you`re jealous
You`re so stubborn, shave his head
l don`t want to shave. . .
Reverend, outside. . .
Thank God, you`re finally here
l`d rather become an evil
than stay with you
Don`t! Don`t become an evil
Why did you bite me? Let me go
Let go of me. . .
OK, recite the Vadjra`s sutra
to lock him up
Let me go, damn you monks
Let me go. . .
The Golden Temple
is the forbidden place for evils
How dare you rush in?
Are you not afraid you`ll be killed?
Master, you`re above human emotions
Please let Hsui-xien and l
be a common couple
Let him go please
Since you know that human relations
do not have a place here
You also know that there`s no room
for relationships between humans and evils
You`ve defied the law of heaven
Sister, don`t trust him
he didn`t keep his promise
During the fight in Kun-lun Mountain
he promised to let me go if l could defeat him
lf l hadn`t left fast enough
he`d have gone back on his words
Now
he`s taking his revenge on Hsui-xien
He`s bullshitting
for the laws of heaven
How dare you
Keeping on reciting the sutra. . .
Fa-hai, youre a loser
Master, we`re nothing to you
Please let us go
You crossed the line
you should be punished
l say
you lost and you should be punished
How dare you!
Stop this nonsense
Sister, stop begging him
He wants to hide his stupidity
Since he doesn`t let us go up
to the Golden Temple
Green, let`s pull the mountain down
We`ll flood it
Let the seas roar
let the skies be drowned
l want you to let him go, let him go
Sister, can we make it? Will it. . .
l don`t know, l just know
how to be human
and to follow the human regulations
lf this is wrong
why should l have trained for 1000 years?
Sister, all your years of hard work
is it worth giving up for him?
lt`s not my choice
l just want to save Hsui-xien
Alright, let`s do it
ls this the best you can do?
Holy Dragon. Holy Dragon
Tai Lo Charm. Tai Lo Charm
Holy Gods. Holy Gods
Bo-ye-ba-la-hung. . . Bo-ye-ba-la-hung. . .
Move the mountain
Rise
He has raised the Temple
So, we raise the water too
See how high can he make it
Let it rise to the heavens
then the gods can be our judges
Rise
We can`t catch up with him
Let`s see how long can he keep it there
Go on. Don`t let it down
How can you show such poor witchcraft
in front of me?
l`ll get you! The surplice
He wants to collect us with his surplice
We can still go
Let`s go?!
Green, you leave alone
Let`s go together
You go first
You don`t know what awaits you
Still here
Do you think l`m dead
Bo-ye-ba-la-hung. . .
We have to escape separately
l won`t leave you
Then go into the water with me
Let me show my true form
Agreed
Fly over the surplice
Want to fly over my surplice?
Not that easy!
Bo-ye-ba-la-hung. . .
The surplice`s enriched with his power
We`re leaving here
Holy Dragon, Respected Gods of Earth
Holy Gods
Flying Dragon, go
We have to avoid the fire
l know
l beg of you
please let my wife and Green go
l`m willing to be monk, alright?
Please let them go
From now on, you should forget your past
and repent
No problem
just tell them to stop fighting
l hate the world, l wish to be a monk
l wish to give up everything
Just tell me
l`ll do whatever you want
Again
Extinguish
Fa-hai, the fire dragon is fixed by me
what else do you have?
Green
Sister, what`s wrong?
All this has caused me to go into labour
l can`t control the water anymore
Oh, no!
The water`s rushing towards the villagers
Sister, the water`s rushing towards us
You created a disaster
You`ll never make up for it
Green, help me Sister
Help me
Take a hold of me
lt`s too late for you to repent
You defy the laws of heaven
your only way out is death
You forced us into fighting with you
causing so many deaths
Don`t you remember we used our power
to control water, we wanted to save people
Fault after merit, it`s still a fault
Nothing you say will change it
l`ll get you
Damn you monks! Be merciful
you won`t even let a new-born baby off?
The snake gave birth to a baby?
Now you leave the sea of pain
you`re saved
Merciful God. Have mercy
Your pain comes from yourself
you deserve it
Green Sister
l`m so weak
She`s really elevated herself
to a human! You`re lying!
Sou Ching isn`t human. No way. . .
Green, are you with me?
Yes, sister, l`m always with you
Buddhist paradise, no ears
True happiness, no eyes
Great nirvana, no sound
Peaceful land, no heart
All is nothingness. . .
Sister
Sister
l`ve been fighting with a human
all along
Green, Fa-hai is losing concentration
There`s a gap
save my husband now
Or, what we`ve done will be in vain
l`ll go and save him
You always said there`s love in humans
don`t you think evils have love too?
We`ve been together for 500 years
There`s love between us too
Have you ever treated me as a human?
Evils!
Hsui-xien. . .
Monk, hand me Hsui-xien
Where have you kept him?
Namomitabhaya buddha. . .
Damn you monk!
You must have cut off his senses
You think l can`t find him
l`ll find him, Hsui-xien
Catch the evil
Hsui-xien. . .
Hsui-xien. . .
Hsui-xien. . .
Hsui-xien. . .
Poor thing!
All your senses have been sealed up
Green
lt`s not right to have the desire
to hang on to the secular world
Such sins. Repentance
lt`s useless for you to say anything now
You betrayed us
Sire
Sire
Green. . .
Bai Sou Ching,
the Thunder-Peak Pagoda. . . Danger!
Holy Dragon
Let me help you block the water. Up
Water. . .
Water. . .
The Golden Temple`s flooded
Retract the surplice. Back
Bai Sou Ching
Save my son. . .
Bai Sou Ching, l`m here to save you
Save my son first
Give it to me
Fa-hai, please let them go
Sou Ching. . .
Sister. . .
l`ve got Hsui-xien for you, Sister
Come back
l have got you Hsui-xien, Sister
Where`s Sister?
l can`t find her
You should be with Sister
Life is so
Living through life is so
We meet, we part
You have committed all sorts of sins
Now, you have even killed
l want you to be completely destroyed
Fa-hai, you killed many too
Look at the monks
they`re all killed by you
l committed fault after merit too?
l come to earth
and have been misled by the world
You said there`s love in the human world
but what`s love?
lt`s really ridiculous
even the humans don`t know
When you have worked it out
maybe l`ll return
