- Sway your head. - Wag your bottom.

Being materialistic is the most important thing in life.

Without money, it's impossible to live.

With money, you can settle everything.

Robbing and stealing aren't such bad things.

Amitabha.

Please give me candles and incense.

- Do you want a set? - Yes, please.

- I want a pair of big candles too. - Sure.

I had a fight with my boyfriend. Will we reconcile?

Let me have a look.

Hey!

Have a seat and I'll tell you about your future.

THE FORTUNE TELLER, MASTER HALF-DAY INCENSE

I CAME TO THIS TOWN TO EXORCISE EVIL SPIRITS

- Pal. - Yes, what can I do for you?

This spot belongs to my partner.

So, you're actually the well-traveled

and renowned Master Half-Day Incense.

It's an honor to meet you.

The honor is mine.

You and I both have the same good reputation.

- This makes us the best partners. - Yes.

Settled.

- Am I really that famous? - You have chosen the wrong name.

Why do you call yourself Jin Lian when your surname is Pan?

You also named yourself Qing while your surname is Ximen.

Then you exist

because of me.

I'm married, you little rascal.

I know.

Your husband's name is Wu Da Lang.

It's good that you know it.

Come out quickly, you adulterous pair!

Who's the adulterous pair?

Listen up, all of you!

I'm here to nab the adulterous pair by the order of Jade Emperor.

Here I come!

Who woke me up?

You...

It must be you.

If it isn't you,

it must be you who woke me up.

Don't go.

Don't you dare leave.

Don't move!

- Halt! - Pal, the madman is out again.

What madman?

He's possessed.

He is mad.

He's possessed by spirits.

All of you are bullies.

How dare you bully me. I'm going to kill all of you.

I will kill whoever comes near.

I'm going to kill you.

TEA

No!

He does look possessed.

Who says he's possessed?

Young man, he's really a madman.

What do you know, old man?

Don't talk through your hat.

Even this master says he's possessed.

That's right, listen to me.

Young man...

Passers-by, please go that way.

Pilgrims, please come this way.

If you just want to watch a show, please gather on this side.

Don't come forward, folks.

Could this young man be the son of my junior?

Ladies and gentlemen,

today, I shall do a good deed for society

by exorcising the evil spirit from his body.

Now, watch me.

Please co-operate.

Just put up an act.

Fat Chicken.

You're not Fat Chicken?

Fat chicken? I want to eat a fat chicken.

Fat Chicken, where are you?

Don't come near me.

There are no chickens. I only have two chicken wings.

Well done!

- Thank you. - I'll chop off your chicken wings.

Let me sit down.

Stay there.

Fat Chicken, subdue him quickly.

It's done.

- It's safe now, let's go out. - Okay.

Folks,

I have captured the evil spirit in his body.

Ill just stick this talisman on him, and he'll recover.

Isn't he back to his senses now?

Don't underestimate these talismans.

They can cure all diseases.

This is absolutely true.

They can repel evil spirits, thereby keeping you safe.

Master, you are brilliant.

It's no big deal. This is just too easy.

My young master...

- He's being seduced by a ghost, right? - Yes.

Leave the exorcism to me. I guarantee everything will be fine.

Where's the house? Tell me quickly.

Ling's Mansion at the intersection.

- Come just before midnight. - Sure.

Good things don't come every day, be quick about it if you want one.

It's already time.

Why hasn't the ghost come?

My ghostly beauty,

why are you so late tonight?

You made me so anxious.

What's the hurry?

After tonight, you'll be dead too.

Then, you can be with me forever.

Make it quick then, sweetheart.

- You're really worth dying for. - Come with me quickly.

All right.

Are you ready?

I'm ready.

I apologize if I've disturbed you.

Lu Xing, have you caught a ghost before?

Yes, I have.

I've done it three times.

Three times? When?

The first time was when my bloody father came and scolded me.

I drove him away in no time.

How can that be taken into account? What about the second time?

This morning.

This morning's incident is also included?

And the third time?

That's now.

Lu Xing, are you sure you can do this?

Of course. Why can't I do this?

I guarantee everything will be fine.

- Can you... - Keep quiet.

How dare you wreak havoc, you reckless ghost!

I want to do it badly.

Nice to meet you.

Do both of you need to be so polite?

Come on!

What are you doing? Don't touch me!

He has been seduced by a ghost.

- Hand me the talisman. - Okay.

Here you go.

By the spirit of Heaven and Earth, I'm casting sacred water all around.

Wandering spirits shall disperse. I command you now.

- Sacred water. - Here.

- You do it. - It's me again?

For every talisman that I stick on, you cast it once.

- Do you get it? - Yes.

Evil spirit, be gone.

It's not enough.

What should I do now?

Fat Chicken, why are you not casting the sacred water?

I'll do it right away.

Just a moment.

Why aren't you...

Is there a talisman on my face?

No.

Then why did you do that?

- I was... - That's enough.

Look before you cast the scared water next time.

I got it.

The heat is everywhere.

That's enjoyable! Brilliant!

No, don't look at it.

- What are you doing? - Don't look at it!

Let go! That's really great.

- Let me see! That's interesting. - Stop it!

- Don't look at it. - Move your hand away.

That's really interesting. You're blocking me!

This is so good.

Look, it's so interesting!

That's really nice.

Fat Chicken, wake up!

- Let's go. - Okay.

Be honest with me, are you sure you can handle this?

Don't worry, I guarantee everything will be fine.

The ghost is here.

What should we do now?

Set up the formation, Fat Chicken.

NOT SUITABLE FOR CHILDREN

Let's cover her, Fat Chicken.

All right.

You can't escape.

Where did she go?

- Grab the talisman. - Okay.

A peek to the left.

A glimpse to the right.

Lu Xing, help me!

Help!

Little fatso.

Don't let go, I would be doomed if you do.

Help!

Lu Xing!

Pull harder!

Come quickly.

Mil love you till death and beyond.

Pull harder.

I got you.

Fat Chicken. It's hooked, don't loosen it.

I'll attack her from above, you grab her from below.

Don't lie to me.

Didn't you guarantee everything would be fine?

- Fear not, I have magic weapons. - Be quick then.

She ran away.

Didn't I say everything would be fine?

- You're the best. - Let's go and get our payment.

Okay, let's go.

Isn't my talisman great?

It is, but that was a bit on the risky side.

As the saying goes, no pain, no gain.

How can we get rich if we don't take risks?

I'm afraid by the time we get rich, we could well be in a coffin

with no place to spend the money.

- What? - You guys were lucky.

Lu Xing, don't try to bite off more than what you can chew

if you don't want to become the joke of the town.

That's clearly a personal attack on you.

What are you saying, old man?

- What did you say? - Nothing.

I said your talisman was a useless piece of crap.

You're saying what my father left me is crap?

Do you know who my father is?

Of course I know.

Your father is Master Lu Lao Tu, right?

That's true. Lu Lao Tu is his father.

What has that got to do with you? How did you know that?

Why wouldn't I know?

I'm his senior,

your uncle.

- Uncle? - I'm Master Lian Qing Ren.

Beware of the madman.

Look at him,

he is dirty and sloppy.

He doesn't even look human.

Look at his clothes. They are all in tatters.

What makes him qualified to be my uncle?

- You don't trust me? - No, I don't.

How do I convince you then?

Show me some tricks, then I'll trust you.

What trick would you like to see?

- Conjure up some money. - Oh, money.

It's just a piece of cake.

There you go.

Go and spend the money.

It's joss paper, that can't be used.

- Why don't you keep it? - It can't be used?

Money.

This can be used, right? But you can only use it once.

Once? At least I get to spend. Thanks.

It's better than nothing.

You are so greedy.

Even I can perform this kind of cheap tricks.

Give it back to the old man.

You're flirting with trouble, chap.

Let me warn you.

That female ghost won't let you off easily.

Good luck, chap. I'm out of here.

How did he go up?

What's so impressive about that?

I've been seeing such things since young. Let's go.

- No, but... - Let's go, we won't get rich here.

Maybe that old man is your uncle after all, Lu Xing.

You're out of your mind.

My late father had never spoken about him.

Let's go and bathe.

What?

I wonder what's the use of this twin copper coin he gave me.

Whether it's twin or single, it's useless.

How can it measure up to my father's?

Go and bathe.

Tomorrow, we still need to earn our living.

Let's bathe then.

What's better than taking a bath?

When we first met, you said I was the best.

You said I was chubby but cute.

But you left the moment I got trapped,

leaving me just like that.

Where's the soap?

Where had it gone?

Fat Chicken, clean yourself thoroughly.

You know you smell.

Everyone knows that.

My hands are fat and short, they can't reach my back.

Fat Chicken, do you want my help then?

That would be much appreciated.

You're becoming more and more sensible.

Exert more pressure on this side. That's right.

I got it, I guarantee you'll be satisfied.

Why do I suddenly have a headache?

Why are your fingernails so long? You should cut them.

They are not long.

Are you serious?

Something's wrong with him.

You take your time.

- I'm going back to my room. - All right, be on your way then.

Fat Chicken.

There's a ghost.

Don't be afraid.

I'm here.

No evil spirit will dare to harm you.

You're right.

That's...

Fat Chicken, you...

It feels soft.

With this talisman on my chest, you won't be able to harm me.

There's no use hiding.

I'll find you.

Father, you're the best.

Please watch over me.

- I| don't want to play anymore. - It's me, Fat Chicken.

Didn't you say that you were the Grand Master

and everything would be fine?

Let's see if you still dare to guarantee things next time.

Just now, that ghost was...

Fat Chicken, why do you treat me this way?

A ghost!

- What? - She's gone.

Gone? Darn, the copper coins are broken.

Do you remember the old man said this could only be used once?

This is terrible.

If the female ghost comes back, I'm doomed.

That's your problem.

- Are you my best friend? - Of course.

- If I'm in trouble, will you help? - I will.

- Will you find the old man with me? - I will.

Then let's go together.

Are you going like that?

Old man!

Old man!

Xing's Uncle, where are you?

I'm begging you, please come out.

Are you calling for spirits?

Do you think he will just come out if you yell like that?

Stupid chicken.

Look who's talking now.

You'd better cut the crap! You're not even helping.

Help me now, come on.

Hey.

- I'm thirsty, let's have a drink. - All right.

Lu Xing.

Now that we've quenched our thirst, what's next?

With a stomach full of water, we need food.

Let's find something to eat.

We're in China now, Brother. We should be fine.

Just stay alert. Okada and Yazaki will not go easy on us.

That Japanese girl is quite pretty.

She's a Japanese girl. Can you speak Japanese?

I don't know. But I can use body language.

I will just flirt with her.

Do you want me to help you flirt with the girl or find the old man?

- Flirt with the girl. - Flirt with the girl. All right.

No. We should find the old man.

- Have you decided? - Yes.

Let's go.

Don't accuse me of not helping you.

I want to, but you can't make up your mind.

I know you want to flirt, but I need to save my life.

You...

Why are there so many Japanese?

It must be due to the girl's beauty.

These guys are lining up to court her.

That's it then.

I'm not fated to marry her.

Let's go.

I didn't expect them to trace us to China so quickly.

What should we do now, Brother?

Hide from them.

I could read at three, I was skilled in martial arts at four,

and I joined the monastery at seven.

That's why I still look young.

I have infinite powers.

How do you prove that?

I do have proof.

They say you can bring world peace if you have seven moles on your sole.

That's a lie.

I have seven moles on my forehead, I can command the troops of Heaven.

That's the truth.

- Who can verify this? - Exactly.

- He's talking nonsense. - I don't buy that.

I know you folks want me to show just what I can do.

That's not a problem.

Since you guys trust and admire me so much,

Mil just oblige.

Don't blink.

Behold the 37 skies beyond the Heaven.

Master Liu Shan is a celestial being.

- See? - It's chicken!

- Give it to me! - I got it first!

Give it back to me!

Master, the chicken you conjured up is for the kids.

Do you have anything for adults?

- Do you mean money? - Yes.

Conjuring up money is a piece of cake.

It is really money.

Go and spend it.

It's for me? Thank you.

I'm sure one isn't enough for you.

It would be ideal if I could borrow this.

- Sure, here you go. - Thank you!

- Hit harder. - There's nothing.

There's still nothing.

Give it to me!

Run!

- Father, he... - Don't be afraid.

Master, they're bullying the kids.

They look fierce.

- Master. - Give that to me.

The stars of Heaven are no match for the brilliance of mankind.

Take that.

Their pants fell off!

Who played that prank on us?

Master, what are they talking about?

- How should I know? - Stupid!

You deserve it! Who told you to be so arrogant?

Wusses.

FAILURE

What are you laughing at? Do you think that's funny?

Watch me!

IT'S THE FOUNDATION OF SUCCESS

These wusses do have some tricks up their sleeves.

Fine.

I'll show them my prowess.

Take that.

It's embarrassing, isn't it?

Come back.

You wusses.

Crap. Put me down.

You stupid wusses.

Put me down quickly.

Put me down.

Stupid wusses, put me down quickly!

Stupid wusses, didn't you hear me?

Master.

Have you found the siblings?

You're useless, come with me.

Fine! Since this is how you treat me, I'll give you hell.

Walk faster.

Do you think I don't want to? My legs aren't cooperating.

Lu Xing, why don't we find an inn and rest for a while?

Rest?

Walk any slower, and you'll be dead.

Thank you.

Fat Chicken.

What's wrong now?

Come to think of it, you always run into trouble.

You always think you're right.

Had you acknowledged the old man as your uncle that day,

none of these would have happened.

We won't have to act like stupid dogs now.

How would I know he has such great abilities?

If I knew, I would acknowledge him even if he didn't want me to.

That's it, I'm exhausted after a day of walking.

Let's lie down and have a rest first.

That's more like it.

Something's wrong.

- Something's wrong. - I just told you so.

What should we do now then?

Hang in there, Fat Chicken. It's almost done.

My butt is burning.

I need more wood.

It's so painful.

Fat Chicken, are you okay?

Of course not, but I don't know what's wrong either.

Did you hurt yourself?

What's in there, Lu Xing?

How on earth would I know?

Let's go and have a look to find out.

Let's scare him.

- Don't think of hiding. - Don't hide.

I know where you are.

- Where? Do you see him? - There. I see your leg.

- See your back, come out. - I have seen you too.

Enough already!

Don't be such a coward.

- If I were to have mercy... - What's going to happen?

- You can go anywhere. - Anywhere.

- If I don't show mercy... - How's that going to be?

You're going nowhere.

- Wouldn't he be a cripple then? - Exactly.

Who says I'm a cripple?

I have traveled on more paths than the amount of rice you ate,

my good nephew.

It's you, old man.

That's great! I had a hard time looking for you.

Hi, Uncle.

I'm not your uncle.

I'm dirty and sloppy.

I look like a poor man, and my house has just been demolished.

I can't even feed myself. How can I qualify to be your uncle?

That's where you're wrong.

Dirty clothes can be washed, they'll look new at once.

A demolished house can be rebuilt.

Just drink water if there's no food.

You're most qualified to be my uncle.

It's too bad, we don't have the fitting chemistry.

You don't have chemistry with him, but we'll be the perfect fit.

How is that so?

Can you fit this on for me?

Why should I listen to you?

Since we are related, just help him out, will you?

That's right.

What's my relationship with you?

We're going to have a relationship sooner or later.

Can you not make it sound so steamy?

It's not that way.

We just want you to be our master officially.

That's right.

But someone scorned me for my age.

As the adage goes, an old man is twice a child.

Don't you agree?

As another adage goes,

a good horse will never eat the grass it left behind.

Come up with something quickly.

If it's good grass, then it's worth eating.

- That's right. - Then eat it.

- Really? - Let's do it.

Since both of you are so sincere,

I shall accept you as my apprentices.

You're not expected to give up the three habits of

binging, eating meat, and cursing.

That's not a problem at all.

And we have three precepts to follow.

Firstly, don't do things that are devoid of conscience.

Sure.

Secondly, we must always save people in danger.

- That's for sure. - Thirdly, don't break celibacy.

That's for...

He can, I can't.

How can I live without women?

I can't too.

You've already bowed.

Since you can't adhere to my rules,

I can only teach you astrology and fortune-telling.

Thank you, Master.

Thank you, Master.

With a stick of pure incense in the burner,

the scent penetrates discernibly into Heaven.

May the aura of the deities on Heaven and Earth shine upon us.

Just like the inseparable Green Dragon and White Tiger,

my apprentices should have integrity and a sense of justice,

and lead an austere life.

Roger that.

The arrival of all divine spirits

marks the departure of evil from the mortal body.

All catastrophes shall be resolved.

It means Jiang Zi Ya has met King Wen of Zhou.

What does that symbolize?

Mediocrity in youth and loneliness in mid-life.

However, in old age...

How is it in old age?

Your old age marks a fulfilling emotional journey.

Are you sure?

Of course!

That's nonsense.

I've decided not to marry a long time ago.

Well, fate is unpredictable.

Let me read your left palm.

- It's predestined. - What's wrong?

You have a big and rosy palm.

Your desire for love fluctuates.

- That means you'll meet true love. - Hey, stop kidding!

I'm so old. Who would want me?

As the saying goes, with age comes beauty

and femininity.

- Nonsense! - That's not nonsense. Come sit down.

Fate works ingeniously.

Sometimes, when you think it's far, it's just right in front of you.

You fatso, you're full of crap.

You had better watch your tongue.

YONGCHANGHE STORE

YONGKANG STREET

What's the matter with you? Are you blind?

Darn it!

Are you hurt?

My chest is hurt.

Let me cure it.

The fatso was quite accurate.

I'll go back with you to cure your chest.

Please trust me.

I don't even know you.

We'll get acquainted very soon.

Let's be quick about it then.

Come. Get up, let's go.

Watch your steps.

She accepted my services without paying.

DIVINATION BY LOOKING AT THE PALM

Why were the girls smiling at me?

Maybe my true love is arriving.

Let me make some predictions.

I'm in my twenties. I'm still single.

Please give me some advice!

What a coincidence.

It's tonight.

- It's tonight. - It's tonight?

Fat Chicken, how do you know it's tonight?

I predicted it.

- You're so capable. - Of course.

You can even predict what I want to say.

What do you want to say?

We're going to have a farewell dinner for Master tonight.

Is he leaving tomorrow?

Let's not wait any further. Pack up quickly.

- We should get some extra food. - That's for sure.

- Let's call it a day. - Sure, I'll pack up.

Here's your Huadiao wine, sir.

- Here's the money. - Thank you.

- Let's go. - Let's go.

We shall take our leave now.

Thank you.

We can't seem to find the siblings.

There they are.

Where's mine? Give it back to me.

Master is leaving tomorrow, let's give him a toast.

Yes, you're right.

Master, I wish you a life without worries.

Good.

Master, here's to you. I hope you'll be healthy forever.

Good.

- Master, here's to... - You pour the wine, I'll toast.

Good.

Master...

It doesn't matter who gets to toast.

I appreciate your intentions.

Come on!

We sing as we drink.

Today, we will get drunk together.

Then, we'll sleep soundly until the sun sets in the west.

Master, I...

Say no more.

You're just like me.

It's just that you can make it earlier.

Is that so?

You're doomed.

Master just said you would die earlier than him.

Nonsense.

This morning,

I made a prediction. I'll find my true love this year.

Cut the crap,

it's my turn to give a toast to you guys.

Thank you, Master.

Nice one!

There is no more wine.

They got drunk so quickly.

He said I was going to die, huh?

He must be crazy.

Fine!

I'll find myself a pretty girl.

I'll let them see what I'm capable of.

My true love is really coming.

Miss, why do you come to this place at this late hour?

I've come looking for you.

You're looking for me? Who are you?

If you don't like me, I'll just leave then.

Don't go.

Such a beauty.

Miss, I think we've met before.

- You look familiar. - We've met twice.

Really? Where?

The first time, we met in Ling's Mansion.

That's true!

The second time, we met at your friend's house.

I have such a bad memory. How could I forget it?

You...

Aren't you the ghost? It's a ghost!

Don't waste your effort, you can't escape.

Master, she's pulling my hand.

Come and save me quickly.

- Go and sleep, it's late. - Master, she's pulling my hand!

There's a ghost. It was not my fault.

I was just trying to earn some money.

Please spare me this time.

- I'm begging you, please let me go. - I can let you go,

but on one condition.

Sure, I'll promise you anything. Just speak your mind.

You're quite straightforward. But I want you to marry me.

No!

Ghost, why would you take a fancy to me?

I like you because you're strong.

That's right.

No.

I'm a human, you're a ghost.

You should marry a ghost.

What did you just say?

You really don't want to marry me?

It's not that I don't like you. I can only marry you if I'm dead.

Good, it's a deal then. I'll wait for you.

But I'm not dying so fast.

Okay, I'll go back and prepare the dowry.

Bye.

She has gone?

Get lost!

You're dead, I'm not.

You disturbed my sleep!

Let me get a good night's sleep.

You're back so soon after bidding farewell?

Fine.

Luckily Master has restored these copper coins.

You can't even be a ghost once I shine them on you.

You darned ghost, you even brought helpers, huh?

I'm not afraid of you.

I have my master's talisman here.

Come over. Come.

Why? Are you scared of me?

You are using a sword? Bring it on!

I'm not afraid of you. Bring it on.

Why is it not working?

Master!

It's true that I die before you do.

We have escaped to China. Why won't you let us go?

We're from the same clan anyway.

No mercy shall be shown to those who betray the clan.

There's no way you can escape.

Sister.

Junko is gone.

Fat Chicken!

Where did Fat Chicken go so early?

Fat Chicken!

Fat Chicken!

It's so inauspicious to have such encounters

early in the morning.

Master,

she's seriously injured.

She is a Japanese ninja.

She's nobody to us.

Why do you want to invite trouble?

Master, how could this be inviting trouble?

Are you still drunk?

There's no way that I will get drunk.

Just don't get yourself involved in unnecessary problems.

Master, she'll die if you don't save her.

I've said I wouldn't save her.

I'll ask you one more time, are you going to save her?

My answer is still no.

Fine.

What's the second precept of our clan?

We should always save people in danger.

Thank you, Master.

It's fated then.

Take away the pot cover.

The heavy fragrance manifests a miracle.

A spirited talisman comes with an edge.

Life shall prosper from the sacred water of Earth.

Come here.

Take it.

Thank you, Master.

Master.

Master, is she all right now?

She's good, but I'm not.

Why?

It has been predestined.

- It has been predestined. - Predestined?

Master.

If we're destined to meet again, we'll definitely meet again.

I have two things for you. Keep them safe.

You might need them.

What about you, Master?

I'll make a move first.

Master.

How do you feel?

"Arigatou Gozaimasu."

What did you say?

Thank you.

- You're welcome. - Bear in mind.

Don't break celibacy.

The same goes for you, Master.

No need to look for Fat Chicken. He has gone far.

My brother and I were ninjas.

We didn't like how they killed innocent people indiscriminately.

So we decided to run away.

But they're afraid we would disclose the secrets of the clan.

That's why they have to wipe us out.

I see.

How come you speak our language?

We have always wanted to know the secrets of Chinese martial arts.

So we have been exposed to Chinese culture since young.

We've always sent people here to learn your best martial arts.

- Have you learned anything then? - No, I haven't.

But I've heard the best Chinese martial arts include

the divine whip, the skills of Maoshan Buddhism,

and the Sixth Heavenly Stem.

They can exorcise evil spirits and command the forces of nature.

Of course!

I'm a top martial artist myself as I have learned from the best.

I'm invincible here.

Let me show you something.

What's this?

It's called the vase of life.

My master gave it to me before he left.

It can be used to extend one's life.

With it, you're guaranteed to be safe from anything.

But

if it's broken while praying with it,

- the person will die. - Then you should safeguard it.

I don't need reminders for that.

After talking for so long, I'm hungry now.

- Let's get something to eat. - Okay.

Sir.

Are you okay?

He only fainted. He should be fine after some rest.

Let's be on our way.

How can we not save a person who is in danger?

Water.

Water.

Water.

Don't worry. I'll find water for you.

Junko, help me look after him.

- But... - I'll be back soon.

Oh yes, don't let others steal his wood.

Hey!

Water.

Water.

Okada, you...

Do you think you can run away so easily?

Lu Xing!

Hey! How dare you capture a weak lady in broad daylight.

That's none of your business, don't block my way.

This is my territory, that lady is my friend.

If you don't back off now, I'll beat the crap out of you.

What are you looking at? Return the lady back to me.

It looks like you have some skills.

Come on!

You've used your tactics well.

Continue holding the bamboo pole.

Don't try to be a hero here, I can beat you down easily.

Man becomes the body, the body becomes the man. Go!

Junko, are you all right?

I'm all right, where's Okada?

Okada is so skillful, yet you...

I told you I'm invincible here, didn't I?

Let's go.

Master, Okada has been...

Say no more.

I know what to do.

"Arigatou."

It's "thank you."

"Ka ki ku ke ko."

"Sa sisu se so."

"Ma mi mu me mo."

"Ma mi mu me mo..."

What's after "mo" again?

Let me ask her.

- Be careful, he's a devil. - A devil?

God becomes the body, the divine spirit becomes God!

I shall beat the devil one to a pulp.

Are you thinking of leaving because you can't defeat me?

Watch me!

That's it then.

Now, you're doomed. You're a real failure.

Master.

I'm fine.

But he knows how to overcome my spell.

His master must be very capable.

We must eliminate them completely.

Thank you for saving me.

Otherwise...

Don't mention it.

It's already broken. At most, I'll forgo longevity.

Then...

There's no need to despair for me.

It's fate.

Fate.

It's all Yazaki's fault.

He doesn't want to give up even after killing my brother.

Now, even you are implicated.

I...

Don't be reckless.

That devil is capable of taking over another person's body to wreak havoc.

- His powers are formidable. - What should we do now?

Don't worry, I'm here.

- We'll just rely on each other? - It's not just the two of us.

There's my best friend, Fat Chicken, and my master.

That makes four.

If I can find Fat Chicken, he can predict where my master is.

I'm my master's favorite disciple.

With my master around, we can even defeat ten devils.

When that happens, I guarantee everything will be fine.

Fine? Your foot!

Lu Xing.

- Lu Xing. - Fat Chicken, you...

I'm so sorry.

Don't be afraid, he's my best friend.

I forgot the lower half.

Fat Chicken, where have you been?

You've scared her.

I'm not scaring you, but I'm dead.

I'm not human now.

Are you really not human?

Yes, I'm not human.

- So you're dead. - Lu Xing.

It's true.

I saw him being killed by Yazaki's men that night.

Fat Chicken.

Don't be so upset, Lu Xing.

Sometimes, it's good to be a ghost.

So you...

I predicted you would be in trouble. I'm here to help you find Master.

I'm in trouble? Then Master...

To the south of the mountain base, there's a big stream.

Cross it when you reach it.

Turn when there's a curve, hike when there's a mountain.

- Then... - Fat Chicken.

Fat Chicken.

This is bad! The tigress is here. I've got to go.

Fat Chicken, you haven't finished telling me.

In short, it's just between here and there.

Stop talking! Come to me now!

That's really vague.

Don't dwell on it. We'll know when we set off tomorrow.

All right, then.

Fat Chicken said

we should hike when there's a hill and turn when there's a curve.

I wonder if he's talking bullshit.

Anyway, we've come this far. Let's just keep going.

Sure.

I wonder how long we need to keep searching like this.

Let's be more patient.

- It seems there's a stream there. - Let's go over and have a look.

My master must be in there.

There are so many lanterns. So beautiful.

Don't touch them.

These are life-extension lanterns.

Life-extension lanterns?

Maybe Master's vase of life is inside one of these lanterns.

It's okay if mine is broken,

but if Master's vase is broken, his efforts would have been wasted.

You'd better watch out.

Master!

Master, why are you hiding in such a place?

- We had a hard time looking for you. - Be careful!

I'll catch you, Master.

I'm sorry, Master.

Was I too slow?

You weren't slow.

I fell too quickly.

This makes me feel relieved.

You're relieved,

but I'm doomed.

Do you know that you broke my vase of life?

Master, I...

What else?

You're always careless.

You forgot about me after you found your girl.

Priest,

I'm deeply sorry for bringing trouble

to both of you.

Say no more.

All these have been predestined.

Traitor!

Go back with me now.

Fear not.

Even if I'm willing to let you go, my master won't agree.

There are old scores between us.

I don't want to trouble both of you.

Master, stop drinking. Save her quickly.

Master...

This is their internal matter. What has that got to do with us?

How can it have nothing to do with you, Master?

Had they not come after us, we wouldn't come looking for you.

Had we not come looking for you, your life vase wouldn't be broken.

Now that your life vase is broken, it means you're as good as dead.

Doesn't that make them indirectly responsible for your death?

Wait!

Don't tell me that you want to save her.

I'm Lian Qing Ren.

I always offer a helping hand when I see acts of injustice.

As the Chinese saying goes,

you should only sweep away the snow in front of your door,

and don't bother about the frost on your neighbor's roof.

- Haven't you heard about it? - That's too old school!

What's trendy now is to unite against crime, right?

If you want to rescue her,

you must defeat me.

Master, he's...

It doesn't matter.

It feels most lonely to be without enemies.

Don't be so smug.

You'll see how great I am very soon.

METAL, WOOD, WATER, FIRE, EARTH

MAOSHAN CLAN

Metal, wood, water, fire, earth.

You're really old-fashioned.

You perform your rites in a funeral hall.

It's ridiculous.

Don't glare at me. Look at our Chinese altar.

Priest Lian,

it's surprising that our altars

look very much the same.

Save your nonsense.

Teach him a lesson, Master.

Showing a calm expression is a reflection of one's ability.

Moreover, he has set up his own funeral hall.

Let's not be too pushy.

Don't be complacent.

Watch me!

Master, what's wrong with you?

There's wind in the wine glass, this is such an enjoyable drink.

Don't make a big fuss out of something casual.

It's useless.

Why don't you have a taste of Chinese red bean soup with ice?

Heavenly Generals, here are the commands.

Yes, Lord Lian.

Come back!

Go!

Go!

Let's see what other tricks you have.

Master, what if he uses water to attack?

I'm not afraid of his water.

I have an endless supply of water within this book.

Astral elements clear the field. I call upon the God of Prosperity.

The God of Prosperity is here.

God of Prosperity?

He must be wealthy.

Watch this.

BIG, SMALL

God of Prosperity,

feel free to gamble with him.

You won't lose.

Since you've got my back, I'll go all out.

So are you betting on a big or small number, rich man?

I'm betting on both.

Open it.

How could I lose if I bet on both?

The figures are small on the big side,

- and big on the small side. You lose. - Darn it, I miscalculated.

Let's have one more round.

They cheated and made me look like a fool.

I'm leaving, farewell!

Priest Lian,

what other formidable moves do you have?

How can you take this drubbing, Master?

Let me take him on.

Since you can't take it anymore, I'll let you try it.

Evil can never prevail against good.

Eat that.

I can't take care of both my foot and head at the same time.

Master, why am I alone? Where is the Jade Lady?

Jade Lady?

That's right. Fat Chicken!

Here I come.

- Jade Lady, what took you so long? - It's that time of the month.

- Are you all right? - I'm fine.

Jade Lady, is that all you've got?

I've been outnumbered. I can't take it.

Master, we can't take it any longer.

Master, we can't take it any longer.

Guardians of Doors, here are the commands.

Master, he's too formidable. We'll pass.

- We'll leave him to you. - Farewell.

Dharma has infinite power to alleviate suffering on earth.

Master.

Priest.

- Priest, are you all right? - Master, are you all right?

I'm going to Elysium.

- Are you going on vacation? - No.

My mortal life has come to an end.

- Master. - Priest.

Today, I shall return to Heaven.

May fate let us meet again.

Take good care of yourselves.

- Priest. - Master.
