There are many ancient legends in the world

These have been developed into many

...interesting mythical tales

In China there is the legend of the 7 fairies

The monkey god who stormed the heavens

The white snake who drowned the Jinshan temple

A child who crushed the mountains to save his mother

Our present story is also based on...

an ancient myth, and is about

...becoming a fairy!

It was said that in ancient times the devout

could accumulate charitable deeds to

focus on transcending their spirits

After a hundred, five hundred or even a thousand years

their fossilized bodies would remain seated in the...

lotus position and create a new-born

This would be known as Yuen Ying which...

as per ancient myth means spiritual transcendence

The process of transcendence occurs between the...

spiritual and physical world known as Da Lor fairyland

Our story begins

...at this place

A priest called Yuen Jan Ji has been...

cloistered for 500 years in

...the Yuen Sun Palace

It so happens that today...

he became a Yuen Ying;

That is, his spiritual refinement has been completed

The Yuen Ying descends to earth

On this auspicious occasion, fragrance permeates

as Priest Yuen Sun completes his spiritual journey

While Da Lor fairyland was a place

for spiritual refinement,

There lurked many evil spirits

...who hid there to train themselves

There was a black serpent which was...

captured by the golden-light cage 500 years ago

...by Yuen Jan Ji and his fellow fairies

Although the serpent was trapped in the black hole

because he had great powers

he has been fighting against...

the golden-light cage for 500 years

All along he continued to train his evil powers

Today he too...

completed his training

and become a devilish being

known as Mo Ying (devil's child)

What's the matter?

The devil must have come upon us

Someone wants to kill me

Where's our golden-light cage?

Where's the devil?

Careful

Yuen Ying

Why did you cast me into the cave?

See where you can hide

It's my fault

Being kind I didn't destroy the devil 500 years ago

Now he is protected by evil spirits

and has descended to the physical world

endangering humans

It looks like I have to discard my physical body

with the spirit

hidden in the Heavenly Creed

to follow him down

Priest Yuen Jan

then your thousand-year training...

Forget it

this might be the karma

I have to face

Take care, farewell

What a heavy snow storm!

Heavenly Creed

It seems there is a child inside

Who are you?

Where have you come from?

What is lt? Dad

I'll just hack a few more trees

then we'll go home

Don't go running everywhere

Yes

Dad, isn't today mom's birthday?

That's why we should go home early

lt'd be nice if we had 2 longevity peaches

This is a branch from a peach tree

but there are no leaves

I have 2 peaches...

Dad, I have 2 longevity peaches

Longevity peaches?

Dad, are you alright?

I am in terrible pain

Dad, pull yourself out quickly

Are you alright?

I'm fine

It's snowing heavily

where did you get the peaches?

I don't know

Also...

Shue Sang, boil some water

I want to wash my feet

What?

He lifted the whole cart of firewood with one hand?

Otherwise how could I have freed my leg?

Then who do you think he is?

Where's the fire lighter?

How could I light a fire without it?

Give it back...

What are you doing?

Don't fight

What are you doing?

Shue Sang

It's not my fault

put me down

Brother Hung, I didn't mean it

I'll help you up

Brother Hung, how are you?

Shue Sang, come here

Dad, I didn't mean to fight with them

I know. Come here

Shue Sang, remember

Don't play with others as you've done today

Why?

Because you're different now

You've grown up

Go to the ice cave at Mt. Man Chong peak

18 years ago

I brought you home from the...

Heavenly Creed in the mountain

When you find the creed...

you will know who you really are

Child, you've grown up

Come in

You must be curious about who I am!

I'm not a human being;

Like you I am a spirit...

who has descended upon the world

You're no ordinary person either

You are Yuen Ying from the Da Lor fairyland

You possess extraordinary powers

and such powers are endless

Shue Sang, the water is boiling

your father will be returning soon

Go and slaughter a chicken

Yes, mother

Once you focus and concentrate

nothing can withstand your powers

Also, you must meditate

when you complete your training

You'll move while being still,

see without looking,

and pick up what ordinary ears can't hear

Help...

Run quickly...

Let them go, I beg you

What are you doing?

Are you out of you mind?

Dad, what are they doing?

They want to grab every carpenter here

...to work in Hang Chow

Father is old and sick...

Shut up, this is a royal decree

I don't care if he is sick or not

Okay

Wait, if it's a carpenter you want

I'll replace my dad

What does the prince regent have in mind?

That house is meant to be a secret

how could he let them go back?

Right

Each man also gets a hundred taels of gold

You're a fool

What the prince regent said

it is all a plot

When the house is built

...they'll all be killed

So, I see

Smells good

Smells good, what is it?

What has happened here?

What's going on here?

Please be quiet everyone

Leave here at once

The prince regent has planned...

to kill us all after we build the house

Kill us all?

How do you know?

Never mind, just go

What has happened?

They want to escape

Kill...

Let me down...

Chase...

Quick

Come

Quick

I think he went this way

Stop

How dare you come here?

Who let you in?

We chased a convict to this place

Convict?

Do you think this is a place for hiding convicts?

Get out

Yes

Do you want to lose your head?

Get lost, quick

Get lost, do you hear?

Go, go quickly

Put the princess' babies in a safe place

Yes

Don't fly away

Who are you? What do you want?

Come, men

Bao Er, Bei Er, what's the matter?

Princess

This person came from nowhere

and drove away the golden canaries

you brought from Persia

Princess?

Who are you?

Didn't you know this is the royal garden?

No commoner is allowed in here

It is a crime to trespass

The princess has asked what you are doing here

Do you want to lose your head?

No...

I heard the princess likes little birds

and so do I

Also, I can also talk to birds

Really? Can you do that?

Good

Then I'd like to trouble you to ask all the birds

that escaped to return

Oh?

Oh? Come, men

Behead this man

Yes

Wait, how do you know...

I can't ask the birds to come back?

If you can do that

you can chop off my head

Mine too

Bao Er, Bei Er

Good

You are good...

I think you want to show off too?

Alright

Listen to me

Let's do a Floral Burial, how about that?

Alright

The people laugh at me for burying the flower

Who will bury me when I died?

An auspicious day for the common bird is due soon

Fly up the tree and become a phoenix

Then do a painting for the princess

Yes

I am fainting

Alright, go and rest now

Yes

Well, win some lose some

two others will be beheaded soon

Princess

Your 10 golden canaries are all here

Okay

Now you two must be beheaded

Princess, mercy...

What can I do?

Your bet is with him

I think you'd better ask him to spare your lives

Fairy, have mercy...

Save us

Alright, get up

You should learn your lesson not to

...gamble with your heads

Yes, we'll never do it again

Right

Where did you learn to speak with birds?

I have always lived in the deep woods

where there are many birds

so I...

That's good

Princess, you're fond of horticulture and birds

why do you keep him here to take care of them for you?

What?

Right

I know how to rear birds

and grow flowers

In winter I can grow peach blossom

Really?

That's great, what about your family?

Do you want to move them here too?

Now that you've mentioned it

I have to go and see my parents

Father, mother, flee quickly

the prince regent intends to kill more people

What about you?

I have to complete my spiritual training

because I stopped

in order to save you

I want to use the sun's energy

and the spirit of the heavens and earth

Take no cognizance and pay respect to God

The planets wax and wane

It bears the material form

You are ready to go forth as your spiritual training

...has been completed

Your mission is to serve human kind

But remember one thing:

The devil child of the black serpent was

...also born with you

Take care as he is cruel and devilish

He is among humans and must

...be exterminated

The first thing you should do is to

...destroy that evil Intelligent Kingdom

This brain is too small, get rid of it

Yes

How many babies have you got today?

Almost 3,000

I've brought the better 500

for you to experiment with

There are many people in this world

but many are stupid

I don't want this one

If we could raise a group of

highly intelligent children

and slaughter all the dumb ones

then we'll have a nation

of highly intelligent people

Then we could eat up neighbouring countries

and rule the world easily, right?

Followers of the Intelligent Kingdom

mighty in the whole world, all nations will bow to you

All nations will bow... Well said!

What do you want?

We come to deliver children

Go in

Kill

Who are you?

What are you doing here?

We're the parents of these children

...and have come to kill you

Stop

You said you want to kill me

Do it now

Come men, carry them away

Yes

Prime minister

Yes

Starting from tomorrow

ask the black knight to grab 3,000 more babies

Sire, if we do it unscrupulously

I fear the princess might know

She'll not know because I have...

arranged for her to go to the Peach Blossom Garden

...for summer retreat first thing in the morning

She'll never return here

so you can grab all the kids you can tomorrow

What's going on here?

The prince regent has sent a horde of

black knights to seize babies

The prince regent?

Good...

What are you doing?

I heard the princess is going out of town

Damn

Hero...

Princess

Arise

Uncle, after I'm gone

you're in charge here

Yes

Princess

Oh,

when the parrot trainer arrives

send him to Peach Blossom Garden

No need

Princess, I'm back already

Princess

I saw something on the road

which I must tell you

I heard...

This is the palace...

Let's talk when we get back

Go, go away

Go quickly

Uncle, we're off now

I hope you'll enjoy...

at the garden

Bao Er, Bei Er, come quickly

Yes, Princess?

Look at this beautiful flower

Yes, it's pretty

Princess

Come up quickly

Come up...

I want to pick this lovely flower

Come up first

If you like itjust say so

we'll pick it for you

- Shue Sang - What?

Princess, are you alright?

I'm fine

You fool. Don't stand there like a dummy

The princess almost fell into the water

Come here and pick the flowers

You two like to bully the others

He doesn't even know there're flowers in the water

so how could he pick them?

I do know

Apart from rearing birds

you know nothing

Alright, I pick them

Watch it, clumsy fool

Princess

This person is somewhat crazy

He keeps staring at you

Also

Princess, do you remember

when he got here he immediately informed you

uncle has sent men to kidnap babies

What a joke!

Princess, flowers

So beautiful...

Princess, look

Come up...

Princess, get away quickly

Someone wants to assassinate you

Royal guards

Come, men

Princess, get on the boat, quick

Help...

Princess

Help

She's back

Princess, are you alright?

You want to leave? Go ahead

Go on

Hero, may I know your name please?

So princess might repay you

I am...

I am not able to tell you my name

but I can tell you

the prince regent is the culprit

When will I see you again?

When you are in trouble

We'll meet again

Princess let's go back first

Princess, look

He's still here

Why would I leave?

It's you?

Of course, you were looking for me?

Why would I look for you?

Where were you...

when the princess was in trouble?

Right, where were you just now?

Speak up

Speak, come on

Speak up

Forget it

It wouldn't have helped if he were here

Coward, so useless

What a coward

I...

I'll ask the princess to chop off your head

- Beheading... - Shut up

We'll return and settle this with uncle

What?

That fairy in golden garb saved princess?

Yes...

Sire, there's trouble...

The princess has returned

It looks like I have to handle this at once

Go and prepare

Yes...

I'll go see the princess at the main hall

What's going on here?

Why'd someone want to assassinate me at the garden?

I also heard...

you sent men to kidnap babies

and kill them?

That's right

I am responsible for all that

So what should be done about it?

Since brother's death

I have wanted to kill you and become king

and I also want to kill all the stupid people

in the kingdom

So that only the intelligent

...will rule the empire

Come, men

What are you doing?

You want to rebel?

Yes

Attack

Fairy... come men...

The fairy has come

You've really come

He is the one who wants to harm me

You alone?

Attack

Great...

Come on...

Good...

Good...

Princess, what should we do?

I'm here

You want to flee?

No way

Good...

Uncle can't get away

Where's he gone?

Strange, how could he run this fast

2 stars in the south

and the heavenly pearl in the north

The stars indicate it's not yet time

...for me to die

Where is my saviour?

The devil, please show up

Behind the house

Save me...

Don't run

I've waited for 18 years

so I could be liberated

You must save me

Who are you?

I am the devil of Da Lor fairyland

and have been trapped by goodness

If any one with an evil heart

smears blood on the rock ball

to desecrate goodness

I will be liberated

What do I get in saving you?

I knew you are also an evil man

Think, with me in the world

would you not benefit from it?

Evil spirit

You've really come

Follow me

There is no one here?

Go

Strange, why is the evil spirit here?

Where are we going?

Follow him

Child, what's the matter with you?

I was at the coast of the North Sea

and under the Yuan Huang temple

I felt the evil spirit permeated the heavens

I remember you told me once

there was an evil baby in the world

Would that be it?

I believe the evil spirit you felt

must be the evil baby

who has turned into a human being

His powers match yours

especially since your powers come from solar energy

When there is an eclipse

you powers will diminish and falter

Be extra careful

Remember

Yes

Also

my spirit in the She Li (relic) remains here

When you're in danger

just spit blood on the She Li

I will use my remaining reserve powers to save you

So you've been hiding here all along!

Today I will avenge the suffering

inflicted on me at Da Lor fairyland

When the eclipse comes

the Yuen Ying will die

Quick

Princess, you cannot keep being despondent

and sulk, refusing to

...eat and drink

Alright, stop nagging

I'm not eating because it's too hot

who says I'm sulking?

I want to have fruits

Fruits?

Okay...

The princess is lovelorn...

Stop it...

What are you doing here?

To bathe Nien Lao

I just brought it back

Did you teach it to say what itjust said?

No, please do not blame me

Maybe it's not only us who could discern

that you have been unhappy lately

Even the parrot notices it

Who says I'm unhappy?

Do you think I've really fallen in love

with the man in the golden garb?

It's just that he has saved me twice

and I want to repay him

Repaying him doesn't mean you don't eat or sleep

Who says I'm like that?

You're not a fairy how would you know?

Nien Lao told me

What? The parrot?

Did you say that? Tell me

I did

You're in love with the fairy

If you don't stop saying this I'll roast you

Alright

Princess, I've found the fairy

Where?

Here

That's him

What?

He is the fairy you say?

He must be dreaming

Look at him

Can he fly or fight?

I think he resembles the fairy a bit

Princess, what do you think?

There is a slight resemblance

So? A slight resemblance?

So that's why I want to let him...

What's the matter?

Are you alright?

Did you push me?

No, I didn't

Strange, why did I fall then?

Never mind, what is your plan?

My plan is

because of the resemblance

tomorrow we'll get the best painter

in the country

Then we'll dress him up

like the fairy and

get his picture painted

by the painter

Then you can look at the picture everyday

rather than stare at the heavens

Princess, do you want some fruit?

No

Not like this, it should be worn this way

I...

Lower, I'll highlight your lashes

Carry it up

Don't move

That's it, don't move

Bao Er, Bei Er

when are you going

to let start painting?

Soon

Get up

Get up

Give me the sword

Hold the sword

Stand straight

Hold the sword

Lift your leg

Lift it higher

Don't move, that's it

So dumb

You're so dumb

Once again

Lift the sword and your leg

Not that one, this leg

Doesn't look like him

Don't move, that's it

A slight resemblance

It doesn't quite look like it

Bao Er, Bei Er, forget it

He is not the real fairy

no matter how we dress him up

Princess, don't worry

I have an idea

- Higher... - Help...

Don't move...

Higher... Higher still...

Lift your head, stretch your arms

I'll be hanged to death, how can I fly

Alright

Stretch out your arm by yourself

Lift your head

Higher...

Still higher?

The rope will break

Is there greater resemblance now?

You are a big fool

What's the big idea?

Getting a clumsy oaf to pose as a hero

What were you thinking?

Forget it

He won't come again anyway

Princess, he'll come again

What did you say?

Didn't he say...

when you're in danger he'll come again?

Uncle is not here anymore

so what danger would I be in?

Die for him

What? Die to make him come?

Not a real death

just pretend to die to lure him

How do we do that?

The princess has suddenly come down

...with a strange illness

No doctor has been able to cure her

If anyone knows of a cure

which can heal the princess

...he will be rewarded

What should we do?

I have some good medicine at home

Guess the whole nation should fast & bathe for 3 days

Stop all this!

The princess is fine

You're so heartless

Princess is so good to us

yet you say not to save her

Beat him...

I'll be damned if he comes

You forget he is a fairy

How could he fall...

for your silly tricks?

You can only fool the common people

You fool

Stop bothering us...

and bathe Nien Lao

Go on

Are you alright?

Why push me again?

I didn't

Why is this eye bumped each time?

He is right

He is a fairy

How could we fool him?

Princess, you could jump to your death

What?

Do you really want me to jump to my death?

Not really

We'll use two sturdy Persian ropes

...and tie them around your waist

We and over ten others

...of your entourage will

...hang on from behind so you'll be alright

Stand in your positions, don't let go

So high

If we don't do it this way...

how could we get the fairy to appear?

Don't be afraid, jump

Alright

Is it safe?

Don't worry

Listen

Yes?

When I tell you to let go, let go

let the ribbon fall with the princess

This is the real kind of leaping, understand?

Do you hear me?

She says to let go when she says so

Yes

What are you doing?

The princess is leaping to her death

What?

Princess, jump

I'm jumping now

Let go

Did you see the fairy?

No

Come up first

What are you doing?

Pull the princess up

Tie the ribbon to the bed

Let me go out

Princess

Fairy

The fairy is here

Great, the fairy is here

What's the matter?

They say you'll only appear this way

Right, where do you live?

How can I find you?

You want to know where I live?

Okay, come with me

It's so beautiful

Are you cold?

Close your eyes

Open your eyes

You can eat it

You're not cold now, are you?

What is this place?

You can say it's my home

Who are you?

Didn't I tell you...

I am a human being?

I don't believe you

If you're an ordinary human being

...why couldn't we find you?

Why would you want to find me?

I don't know if you believe it or not

I have always been at your side

Why couldn't I see you?

That's because I can become invisible

Then when I take a bath?

I'm there too, naturally

You're not taking a bath now

Why have you hidden yourself again?

Tell me frankly

have you really seen me bathe?

Don't worry, if I did

my powers would be nullified

You're lying

It's so beautiful here

I don't know when

I'll be here again

Sometimes it's funny that

the same person can be the one

you both hate and love

Similarly the same person who you are with everyday

...can also be the one you never see

What are you talking about?

What I've said just now

is something you'll never understand

What you've said is something I'll never understand

and what I want to say

is something I might never say in my whole life

How come two persons who are together and...

have something to say can't even say a word?

You should go back...

or else the palace folk will look everywhere for you

It's so beautiful here

but unfortunately they are transient

You'd better go

You've arrived at the palace

I'd better go

What's going on?

According to my calculation

There'll be an eclipse tomorrow and

there'll be great change in the weather in the morning

Shue Sang, what's going on here?

The wind has become fierce all of a sudden

The palace animal is running everywhere

and frantically roaring

What? Frantically roaring?

It's disastrous...

The traitor uncle is back

and is now in the main hall

How dare you come back here?

I have come back for your friend

...in the golden garb

What insolence!

Guards

Yes

Capture the traitor

Yes

Why don't you ask your friend...

in the golden garb to come out?

I am here

Who are you?

Like you...

I've come from the Da Lor fairyland 18 years ago

Come on

Alright

Come on, take your best shot

Don't laugh too soon, look up there

An eclipse

Try your power

The eclipse will drain your power

That's your greatest fear

Today is the day for me to take revenge

Fairy

From today onwards, almost...

all you've cloistered for 500 years will be destroyed

You'll become like human

Where are you running to?

See where you can hide!

Don't run

Come

Yes sir

Leave for the cave at Mt. Man Chong's peak right away

Yes sir

Go

Where are you running to?

The prince wants to catch him alive

Still thinks he's a fairy?

Yuen Ying has disappeared

The world is now mine

The Evil Star appears

It can't be true

What a coincidence, it's this year!

What are you doing?

It's really the 3rd hour of 17th of July

I have finally found the time for the eclipse

What are you doing?

We knew from the start that...

for every 500 years in the Da Lor fairyland

once every 100 years there'll be a solar holocaust

But to find the exact time of the eclipse

we must use the Seven Star Formation

...and the blood of a living person

Look at it now

17th of July, doomsday

Solar holocaust?

What is a solar holocaust?

It is a crisis of the sun which

when it comes we must

use 49 kinds of the most poisonous blood

...and the heart of a noble lady

All this has got to be sprinkled towards the east

...just when the sun rises

Then the contaminated blood will forever trap the sun

...and it can never rise again!

If this is the case...

does it mean that there'll never again be daylight?

Correct, there'll be darkness forever

Good, darkness forever, good

It's easy to find the poisonous blood

but for the noble...

Needless to say

Look behind you

Princess, are you alright?

Princess, are you hungry?

Fairy, fairy

Princess is in trouble

Don't worry, the knife is very sharp

I can cut your heart out very easily

...and it won't hurt

Don't you dare!

We'll come after you even as ghosts

The sun is rising

why don't you do it?

No...

Princess...

Soon

We must wait till the sun shines on her heart

before the blood will become effective

Princess

Princess, are you alright?

Look

It's eclipse and the evil spirit is released

Son of the evil god, hurry to my help

Princess, what are we going to do?

Don't be afraid, I've got plans

Hurry

Open it up

There's light
