At the end of Qing dynasty,
the spiritual boxers were
invincible. It was said no weapons
could harm them
To please the Empress Dowager,
Li Lienyin...
assembled Yi Wo soldiers to
demonstrate their powers
Your majesty, we can begin
Yes
Begin
Show your powers. Begin
Rise
Rifles
Yes
Fire
The robbers have repeatedly
...pillaged and massacred
Apart from summoning assistance
from the counties,
we seek help from civilians...
to bring the robbers to justice
Please note
Notice from the security bureau of
Lin County
This 2nd day of September
It's them again
Teacher
Teacher
They were are sworn brothers
...and then separated because of
a small rift
They became greedy for money and sex...
and were charged with robbery and murder
Thank you, master Zhi Chiang
Come...
Come and have some drink
Teacher, you shouldn't drink any more
The Chens will ask us to invoke
the spirits soon
What's the hurry? There's still an hour
Teacher
Stop nagging
Quickly, go and make preparations
...to invoke the spirit
Come...drink
Siu Chien
Be careful not to knock over the
sacred object
Yes, teacher
Come...
God of the snake
God of the tiger
God of the crane
God of the leopard
God of the dragon
Which room is master Zhi Chiang in?
Over there
Which one is he?
The one who's drunk
These three are all drunk
...who is the master?
One, Two, three, that's the one
Master Zhi, please wake up
Master Zhi, please wake up
What should we do?
Wake up
Right...
Master Zhi, please wake up
Master
Master Zhi, please wake up
This makes me so anxious
Master
What should we do?
Teacher
The Chens are waiting for him to
invoke the spirits
...but he is so drunk
Li Taibai is the god of wine
Can't stop drinking once possessed by him
By the time Li leaves he becomes so drunk
I think we'd better go to your place
some other time
No way, many people are waiting
Little master, you go instead
I can't...
I really can't
Little master
they are inviting you with all sincerity
You ought to help them
I'll take care of your teacher
Right
Don't turn them down
Come on, accept the invitation
Go on
Help us just this once
Okay...l'll go and get the stuff
Okay...go
All the spirits in heaven, monkey god
come and help me
Teacher, your inebriety has really
got me into trouble
May the high Gods descend upon me
The monkey god
The monkey god...
You are head of the household
why are you not courteous to me?
l...beg your blessings
You...
lnsolent fool, who are you?
I am Liou Yung, teacher of martial arts
please show me the way
Good...
Listen
lam...
If you want the Chens to...
enjoy peace, prosperity and health...
you must offer incense
Yes...
A feast for master of the ceremony
is also required
and yes, don't forget the
conveyance allowance
Yes...
Wake him up quickly
Yes...
How are you?
I'm fine
Which spirit did I invoke?
The monkey god
So it's him
Mr. Chen, you're in luck
The monkey god seldom comes upon us
Did he give us any instruction?
Yes
He hates it when people disobey
his instructions
We'll do accordingly
Quickly, take master to a meal
Yes...
Come...
Drink more
Eat more...
What else did the monkey god say?
He said we must give you...
a handsome amount of money
No, I can't take it
No?
But as the god has instructed this
I must accept it
If we disobey the god
...we will suffer disaster
That's right
But we are poor...
and can't afford a lot of money
Anything will do, just give it here
Don't move...go...
This is a sacrosanct object,
don't touch it
Damn!
Master Liou, it's not your fault
We know you have good kung fu
but you can't fight with the monkey god
Master Liou, he can invoke the spirits
His kung fu is sort of divine
Yes, only the spirits can make him
immune to weapons
That's right
Mr Liou, this is a sacred object,
you can't touch it
I'm just taking a look
It's real
It's also very sharp indeed
With this spiritual boxing
...our own kung fu is useless
Look
What's the matter?
What's happening?
It's made of wood
Made of wood?
Only the tip of the sword is real
It's phony?!
Don't go yet...
Quickly
Grab him, he's a cheat
Who is a cheat?
What happened?
Grab him
What are you doing?
Don't be rude to master Siu
We've all been fooled by him
He doesn't know any spiritual boxing
Who says I don't,
you all saw with your eyes
I am invincible
Invincible?
The sword he used was a fake
A fake?
Is that true?
Grab him
I am the monkey god
He is still trying to frighten us
I am Bau Gung, kneel down
Damn you
What are you doing?
I am the Zijin;
whoever dares stop me, dies
The god of wealth is here
Master Liou, why have you given up
the chase?
Suddenly I...
My leg hurts
He must know some kung fu...
It seems the god of wealth is
the most powerful
He's back
You are Siu Chien?
Yes, you are...
Master Zhi Chiang is in the police station
Follow us
But we haven't committed any crime
I think you are all mistaken
Stop grumbling, let's go
Wait, alright I'll come along
There's something in the room I must get
I am not going anywhere
Excuse me, the noodles are here
Damn
You thief, you little bastard
I've got you this time
I know it's you
You stole my bun, give it here
Give the bun back to me
Damn
Look at the mess
This makes me so mad!
I'll kill you, little bastard
Stop hitting
I'll not spare him
You have so many buns
what's the big deal if he has one or two?
If you're so kind then pay for him
No problem, how much?
I don't know how many buns
...he has stolen from us
I'll charge you 60 cents
60 cents?
Look
5 buns costs 10 cents
That's right
Can this little fellow
...eat 30 buns?
I can, I can even eat 300 buns
So?
Alright, 60 cents it will be
Don't go yet, you had a bowl of noodles
...you owe a dollar twenty
A dollar and twenty?
That's right
That's what a bowl of noodles costs
Pay up
A dollar and twenty
Didn't I give you 60 cents just now?
Yes
But that's for the buns
the little bastard stole
Well, you have all the say
I should give you a dollar and twenty
That's right
Put it on my account...
and I'll settle it some other day
Don't go, stop
You tore my clothes
Very valuable I'd say
How will you compensate me?
Damn you, you want to blackmail me
This doesn't look valuable at all
I am wasting time with you
This garment cannot be penetrated
by any weapon
Knife...
This...
See?
Can I hack you?
No...
You needn't pay much
Just 60 cents
Why do you follow me
...like a ghost?
It's going to rain, go home
Let me tell you;
Although I've got that 60 cents,
it won't take long...
before they're gone,
and I'll have to go stealing
Stop fooling around or I'll kill you
Look at him...
I'm the Dragon King of the Eastern Sea
You dare bully me?
What nonsense! Justjoking
Let me ask the god of the rain here
...to make a heavy rain
Then you'll know how great I am
It's raining...
It's raining...go
Awhile back it was sunny!
How come it's raining all of a sudden?
It's too much!
Strange indeed
He's the incarnated Dragon King of the Sea
As soon as he jumps into water,
there's thunder;
Followed by heavy rain
Master Liou
Have you settled the accounts yet?
Yes
Something strange happened
There's a rumour about
an apparition of the SeaGod
Rubbish
It's true
There's a guy in the noodle store
...about 20 years old
who cannot be wounded by any weapon
He called himself the Dragon King
of Eastern sea
He disappeared in the water
& after he jumped into it
...then it started to rain
Nothing special.
It rains around this time of the year
But he's not wounded by the knife
A lot of people witnessed that
I beg you...have mercy...
please leave behind some money
We don't mean not to compensate for it
but...
What?
Master Liou said if you do not pay
what you owe him
...you'll have to give up the eggs
as security
Our loan began at the end of the month
It's not yet a month...
yet you want to take away our eggs!
Please wait
Uncle
Half of your eggs are bad
You've been cheated
How do you know?
Did you get them...
from that couple?
Once you left, they were laughing at you
Let me see
Please
Put them down
You...
Don't be angry, can you tell
if these eggs are bad?
Yes
This is good
You...
This is good too
This one too
Alright
What happened?
I don't know
Come over and have a look
Good egg
They are all good ones
I don't understand
Only one is bad
Put them back
Put them back yourself, I'm busy
Come back, don't go
Oh, I almost forgot
You haven't paid me for the eggs
Mind your own business
I can't tolerate this,
so it becomes my business
If you can't get the money,
I'll get it for you
Stop moving
Master Liou might be waiting for
these eggs
If you break them, you'll be in trouble
What are you laughing at? Stop laughing
No need to stand on ceremony
Thank you
Alright
That's good
Go away
It's him
After him
Stand still
Stop running
Stand still...
Catch him
Stand still, stop running
Did you see a kid...
running over?
Awhile ago
Chase him
I wasn't chased by others just now
I was just playing hide and seek with them
Right, you are quick in hiding
If you hadn't saved me just now...
Then what?
I'll hit you
Don't hit me, I didn't know you're a girl
lfl knew, I wouldn't have caught you
What's the matter?
Stop pulling me, this is a costly dress
Costly my foot!
What happened?
You believe it now
Believe that this is costly
ldont
We are in the same trade
Put it away, it won't scare me
Real knife
I am master Dat More
Mind my Shaolin kung fu
I must teach this guy a lesson today
Watch my thunder palm
Again
Run
My thunder palm really effective, right?
A spirit is coming upon me
I can use the thunder palm
What's going on?
Come all you gods
Don't blame me for using the thunder palm
I don't dare to use it again
I dare not use it again, I wouldn't
Which fairy might you be?
I'm using this fire cracker
I think its the fairy showing his power
So you have been helping me
No...let go of me
Eight...ten
Ten
What?
Isn't it 5 for 10 cents?
Don't blame me, it's all your fault
Thank you
Your home is in this town?
I don't have a home, my parents are dead
Mine too, I once had a teacher...
who used to cheat people every which way
Eventually he was caught
People in town said you can
call upon rain,
...and the knife can't harm you;
is it all true?
If you believe, then it's real
I mean, just like the thunder palm
Damn you!
These are all the techniques teacher used
...to cheat people
Look, I can pretend to be monkey god
Monkey god
Spare me
Get lost
Let's go
It works
Really?
Well, it's all what me and my teacher
lived on
There's still a lot more
Going up the knife ladder,
jumping into the fire
This is known as the spiritual boxing
There are many styles
one can walk on fire and knife
with bare feet
The kind of kung fu he uses...
depends on which god comes upon him
Invincible and immune
l...met him once
I really saw monkey god
Really that great?
He knows thunder palm
Thunder palm?
If what you say is real...
Everybody in town would believe it
I think it is just a trick
What are you laughing at?
I don't know this at all
If you help me...
just by the thunder palm people
will believe...
I've spirit upon me
I won't help you cheat
I have a thing or two to show people
I don't cheat for nothing
One has to eat, right?
Don't blame me, it's all your fault
You're weird
Stop it
Master Siu
Master Siu
Master Siu, please sit
Excuse me
Please sit...
Sit here
Go away, who are you?
It's full here, go away...
Don't cross him
Please sit...
Sit
Two bowls of thick meat noodles
Yes...
Why are you standing here?
Master Siu
Master Siu
My master's house is haunted by ghosts...
and would like to invite him
for an exorcism
I don't know if he would agree
Let's invite him anyway
Go...
Master Siu
Finish? Check please
Coming
Master Siu, it's my treat
It's always your treat
Do I look like someone who eats for free?
No
Let me...
You two are good
Master Siu
He works for the Lin family
Yes
We have a evil spirit in the backyard
and...
my master's daughter has been sick
for several months
So my master invites you to perform
an exorcism
I don't know how to do that
You can invoke the spirits upon you
...and they can expel evil spirits,
right?
Yes
Our master says
If you drive away the evil spirits
...you'll be rewarded handsomely
So don't worry
Come on. When the spirit is upon you,
any evil spirits that see you...
will flee!
I'll go, I'm not afraid
Go
Please...
This way please
This way please
Master Siu, please
Inside please
Please
This is the house haunted by ghost
Ghost...how does it look like?
Tell me
Only Ah Jin saw it
l...l don't dare tell
Why?
We've been hearing strange noises
Ever since being haunted,
my daughter began feeling ill
You must help me
Don't worry
I'II settle it
Thanks...
Thanks...
How come I feel chilly in such
hot weather!
Go and get rid of the ghost
Stop it, this is a valuable dress
Where do you want to go?
We'd better leave after this meal
You're really good at cheating
You are not any better
You just eat and then leave
...without doing anything
This is ridiculous
Goddess and Bodhisattva
You have the guts and are not
afraid of ghosts
I can't do it, you do it
Watch me
I despise liars
they never keep their word
These techniques are only used to
scare people
Others won't know but you should
Then you shouldn't cheat
How can your stomach...
Stop it
Oh, I almost forgot; Let me tell you
If the ghost really comes and
takes advantage of you
...don't blame me
Damn you!
Look at you, you are frightened to death
It's me, you are so frightened
You...
What happened to you?
You've got cramps?
Ghost
Ghost
Jin Lian, run
Wait
Please help me
It's you
Jin Lian
Jin Lian...
Don't choke her to death
Abbra cadabbra
Show your powers
Jung Kuei's here
Alright...
Now that Jung Kuei is here,
we sure can nab the ghost
Right...
Here
I'm master, not a ghost
You killed 87 people in your previous life
And all these 87 spirits are here
to get you
...and your daughter
They want to destroy you
Let me get them away
Student
Yes
Prepare the sacred items
Yes
Master...
Did you hear the ghosts screaming?
What are you doing?
I'm putting 87 nails on you
...to draw out all those 87 spirits
Master Siu
lam Jung Kuei
Oh Master Jung, if you put these
87 nails through me
...I would certainly be killed!
Isn't it worth sacrificing your own life
...for the sake of your family
Master Jung,
is there any other alternative?
Please, please, please...
don't put nails through me,
I'll do anything
Then...
you will have to find a replacement
Whoever is willing to be my replacement
...I'II pay him well
Why are you hitting me?
You bastard
Why come bother me
when Priest Chuen Yang is here?
Priest Chuen Yang?
Brother Lui, how are you?
A pity...once in the secular world,
my power vanishes
Lin, it's Lui Tungbin from heaven
Don't you know that?
He's my nephew
He's poor and has come to me
and wants to marry my daughter, too
How do you know?
Let me grant you the spiritual eye
Then you can see the holy fire
above his head
Do you see it?
Do you see it?
I don't cheat
You've asked me to come all the way
You'd better pay the host of
the ceremony well
Yes
The 87 spirits?
If Priest Chuen Yang agrees...
ask him to be your sonin-law;
And grant peace to your whole family
OthenNise, there's only one way
Wait, I'll go ask him
Look
Ten
Look
Ten dollars
I won't earn that much...
working for Master Lin even for a year
What's so good about it?
Student, you have a part in this too
Who is your student?
I sympathize with Miss Lin
...and want them to get married
What's the difference?
You've become a matchmaker
...and I've got my money
Come on, let's go get some...
new clothes
I couldn't be bothered
Jin, Peony must be very happy
Brother, I'm really grateful
I give this back to you
Go
Don't follow me
Whoever can find Jin Lian
I'll treat him for a meal, let's go...
Go find Jin Lian
It's too expensive, I don't want it
Alright
Go...
Hurry, go...
What happened to these people?
Master Siu, don't get involved
I can call up the gods
why can't I get involved?
True, but the poor are afraid of
evil people
Damn it, whatever you owe must be
paid back
You simply can't owe the money
for so long, go
Go. Quick
What happened?
Master Siu, it's you?
Aren't they human beings?
You don't treat them like human beings
Master , you don't know
These penniless loafers owe
our master money
They must pay back immediately
I can see that they don't have the money
What's the point of...
taking them to Master Liou?
True, but I've got to take them back...
to finish myjob
Go
Go, hurry
Go...
It's him
Master, I'll definitely return
the money to you
...when I've reaped my harvest
I definitely will return it to you
Bullshit...l've heard that for many times
Come on, hand over the deed now
I'm taking your land for what you owe me
I've actually done you a favour
I borrowed three dollars from you
and you want to rob me of my land?
You are ruthless
Three dollars?
Principal plus interest,
how much should that be?
Eighteen
Isn't enough. Aren't you going to
hand over the deed?
Well?
Hand it over
Stand there
Wait
Who are you?

He eats it
Liou Deruei
I'll destroy you and your family
if you sin again
And burn down your home with fire
from heaven
Aren't you going to release them?
Yes...
Stop joking
I do this...
for the sake of saving peoples' lives
It's good that I can still walk
othenNise, I'll become Cripple Li
Alright...l'll go with you
to see a doctor
I can do magic
why do I need a doctor?
Alright, then you hang on

You can go back
Thanks for all the trouble...
you undertook
Stop it
Dragon King of the Eastern Sea is here
You know that those people in town
...want me to teach them kung fu
I'm so tired...

It's that kung fu you teach
which causes problems
What?
Those people fought with Liou's followers
They fought?
They will be in trouble
Go and see what happened
You want to create trouble?
Beat them up

It used to be a trivial matter
No one has ever dared to oppose me before
But now it's different

If you continue to be like this,
I'll just ignore you
You know nothing
The two fellows who are with Liou

My teacher saw them committing crimes
Run

In my pocket...l have no money
Had a good friend once; she's gone as well
Hey, I haven't gone

To please the Empress Dowager,

Your majesty, we can begin
Yes
Begin
Show your powers. Begin

Lin County

One, Two, three, that's the one
Master Zhi, please wake up
Master Zhi, please wake up
What should we do?
Wake up
Right...
Master Zhi, please wake up
Master
Master Zhi, please wake up
This makes me so anxious
Master
What should we do?
Teacher
The Chens are waiting for him to
invoke the spirits
...but he is so drunk
Li Taibai is the god of wine
Can't stop drinking once possessed by him
By the time Li leaves he becomes so drunk
I think we'd better go to your place
some other time
No way, many people are waiting
Little master, you go instead
I can't...
I really can't
Little master
they are inviting you with all sincerity
You ought to help them
I'll take care of your teacher
Right
Don't turn them down
Come on, accept the invitation
Go on
Help us just this once
Okay...l'll go and get the stuff
Okay...go
All the spirits in heaven, monkey god
come and help me
Teacher, your inebriety has really
got me into trouble
May the high Gods descend upon me
The monkey god
The monkey god...
You are head of the household
why are you not courteous to me?
l...beg your blessings
You...
lnsolent fool, who are you?
I am Liou Yung, teacher of martial arts
please show me the way
Good...
Listen
lam...
If you want the Chens to...
enjoy peace, prosperity and health...
you must offer incense
Yes...
A feast for master of the ceremony
is also required
and yes, don't forget the
conveyance allowance
Yes...
Wake him up quickly
Yes...
How are you?
I'm fine
Which spirit did I invoke?
The monkey god
So it's him
Mr. Chen, you're in luck
The monkey god seldom comes upon us
Did he give us any instruction?
Yes
He hates it when people disobey
his instructions
We'll do accordingly
Quickly, take master to a meal
Yes...
Come...
Drink more
Eat more...
What else did the monkey god say?
He said we must give you...
a handsome amount of money
No, I can't take it
No?
But as the god has instructed this
I must accept it
If we disobey the god
...we will suffer disaster
That's right
But we are poor...
and can't afford a lot of money
Anything will do, just give it here
Don't move...go...
This is a sacrosanct object,
don't touch it
Damn!
Master Liou, it's not your fault
We know you have good kung fu
but you can't fight with the monkey god
Master Liou, he can invoke the spirits
His kung fu is sort of divine
Yes, only the spirits can make him
immune to weapons
That's right
Mr Liou, this is a sacred object,
you can't touch it
I'm just taking a look
It's real
It's also very sharp indeed
With this spiritual boxing
...our own kung fu is useless
Look
What's the matter?
What's happening?
It's made of wood
Made of wood?
Only the tip of the sword is real
It's phony?!
Don't go yet...
Quickly
Grab him, he's a cheat
Who is a cheat?
What happened?
Grab him
What are you doing?
Don't be rude to master Siu
We've all been fooled by him
He doesn't know any spiritual boxing
Who says I don't,
you all saw with your eyes
I am invincible
Invincible?
The sword he used was a fake
A fake?
Is that true?
Grab him
I am the monkey god
He is still trying to frighten us
I am Bau Gung, kneel down
Damn you
What are you doing?
I am the Zijin;
whoever dares stop me, dies
The god of wealth is here
Master Liou, why have you given up
the chase?
Suddenly I...
My leg hurts
He must know some kung fu...
It seems the god of wealth is
the most powerful
He's back
You are Siu Chien?
Yes, you are...
Master Zhi Chiang is in the police station
Follow us
But we haven't committed any crime
I think you are all mistaken
Stop grumbling, let's go
Wait, alright I'll come along
There's something in the room I must get
I am not going anywhere
Excuse me, the noodles are here
Damn
You thief, you little bastard
I've got you this time
I know it's you
You stole my bun, give it here
Give the bun back to me
Damn
Look at the mess
This makes me so mad!
I'll kill you, little bastard
Stop hitting
I'll not spare him
You have so many buns
what's the big deal if he has one or two?
If you're so kind then pay for him
No problem, how much?
I don't know how many buns
...he has stolen from us
I'll charge you 60 cents
60 cents?
Look
5 buns costs 10 cents
That's right
Can this little fellow
...eat 30 buns?
I can, I can even eat 300 buns
So?
Alright, 60 cents it will be
Don't go yet, you had a bowl of noodles
...you owe a dollar twenty
A dollar and twenty?
That's right
That's what a bowl of noodles costs
Pay up
A dollar and twenty
Didn't I give you 60 cents just now?
Yes
But that's for the buns
the little bastard stole
Well, you have all the say
I should give you a dollar and twenty
That's right
Put it on my account...
and I'll settle it some other day
Don't go, stop
You tore my clothes
Very valuable I'd say
How will you compensate me?
Damn you, you want to blackmail me
This doesn't look valuable at all
I am wasting time with you
This garment cannot be penetrated
by any weapon
Knife...
This...
See?
Can I hack you?
No...
You needn't pay much
Just 60 cents
Why do you follow me
...like a ghost?
It's going to rain, go home
Let me tell you;
Although I've got that 60 cents,
it won't take long...
before they're gone,
and I'll have to go stealing
Stop fooling around or I'll kill you
Look at him...
I'm the Dragon King of the Eastern Sea
You dare bully me?
What nonsense! Justjoking
Let me ask the god of the rain here
...to make a heavy rain
Then you'll know how great I am
It's raining...
It's raining...go
Awhile back it was sunny!
How come it's raining all of a sudden?
It's too much!
Strange indeed
He's the incarnated Dragon King of the Sea
As soon as he jumps into water,
there's thunder;
Followed by heavy rain
Master Liou
Have you settled the accounts yet?
Yes
Something strange happened
There's a rumour about
an apparition of the SeaGod
Rubbish
It's true
There's a guy in the noodle store
...about 20 years old
who cannot be wounded by any weapon
He called himself the Dragon King
of Eastern sea
He disappeared in the water
& after he jumped into it
...then it started to rain
Nothing special.
It rains around this time of the year
But he's not wounded by the knife
A lot of people witnessed that
I beg you...have mercy...
please leave behind some money
We don't mean not to compensate for it
but...
What?
Master Liou said if you do not pay
what you owe him
...you'll have to give up the eggs
as security
Our loan began at the end of the month
It's not yet a month...
yet you want to take away our eggs!
Please wait
Uncle
Half of your eggs are bad
You've been cheated
How do you know?
Did you get them...
from that couple?
Once you left, they were laughing at you
Let me see
Please
Put them down
You...
Don't be angry, can you tell
if these eggs are bad?
Yes
This is good
You...
This is good too
This one too
Alright
What happened?
I don't know
Come over and have a look
Good egg
They are all good ones
I don't understand
Only one is bad
Put them back
Put them back yourself, I'm busy
Come back, don't go
Oh, I almost forgot
You haven't paid me for the eggs
Mind your own business
I can't tolerate this,
so it becomes my business
If you can't get the money,
I'll get it for you
Stop moving
Master Liou might be waiting for
these eggs
If you break them, you'll be in trouble
What are you laughing at? Stop laughing
No need to stand on ceremony
Thank you
Alright
That's good
Go away
It's him
After him
Stand still
Stop running
Stand still...
Catch him
Stand still, stop running
Did you see a kid...
running over?
Awhile ago
Chase him
I wasn't chased by others just now
I was just playing hide and seek with them
Right, you are quick in hiding
If you hadn't saved me just now...
Then what?
I'll hit you
Don't hit me, I didn't know you're a girl
lfl knew, I wouldn't have caught you
What's the matter?
Stop pulling me, this is a costly dress
Costly my foot!
What happened?
You believe it now
Believe that this is costly
ldont
We are in the same trade
Put it away, it won't scare me
Real knife
I am master Dat More
Mind my Shaolin kung fu
I must teach this guy a lesson today
Watch my thunder palm
Again
Run
My thunder palm really effective, right?
A spirit is coming upon me
I can use the thunder palm
What's going on?
Come all you gods
Don't blame me for using the thunder palm
I don't dare to use it again
I dare not use it again, I wouldn't
Which fairy might you be?
I'm using this fire cracker
I think its the fairy showing his power
So you have been helping me
No...let go of me
Eight...ten
Ten
What?
Isn't it 5 for 10 cents?
Don't blame me, it's all your fault
Thank you
Your home is in this town?
I don't have a home, my parents are dead
Mine too, I once had a teacher...
who used to cheat people every which way
Eventually he was caught
People in town said you can
call upon rain,
...and the knife can't harm you;
is it all true?
If you believe, then it's real
I mean, just like the thunder palm
Damn you!
These are all the techniques teacher used
...to cheat people
Look, I can pretend to be monkey god
Monkey god
Spare me
Get lost
Let's go
It works
Really?
Well, it's all what me and my teacher
lived on
There's still a lot more
Going up the knife ladder,
jumping into the fire
This is known as the spiritual boxing
There are many styles
one can walk on fire and knife
with bare feet
The kind of kung fu he uses...
depends on which god comes upon him
Invincible and immune
l...met him once
I really saw monkey god
Really that great?
He knows thunder palm
Thunder palm?
If what you say is real...
Everybody in town would believe it
I think it is just a trick
What are you laughing at?
I don't know this at all
If you help me...
just by the thunder palm people
will believe...
I've spirit upon me
I won't help you cheat
I have a thing or two to show people
I don't cheat for nothing
One has to eat, right?
Don't blame me, it's all your fault
You're weird
Stop it
Master Siu
Master Siu
Master Siu, please sit
Excuse me
Please sit...
Sit here
Go away, who are you?
It's full here, go away...
Don't cross him
Please sit...
Sit
Two bowls of thick meat noodles
Yes...
Why are you standing here?
Master Siu
Master Siu
My master's house is haunted by ghosts...
and would like to invite him
for an exorcism
I don't know if he would agree
Let's invite him anyway
Go...
Master Siu
Finish? Check please
Coming
Master Siu, it's my treat
It's always your treat
Do I look like someone who eats for free?
No
Let me...
You two are good
Master Siu
He works for the Lin family
Yes
We have a evil spirit in the backyard
and...
my master's daughter has been sick
for several months
So my master invites you to perform
an exorcism
I don't know how to do that
You can invoke the spirits upon you
...and they can expel evil spirits,
right?
Yes
Our master says
If you drive away the evil spirits
...you'll be rewarded handsomely
So don't worry
Come on. When the spirit is upon you,
any evil spirits that see you...
will flee!
I'll go, I'm not afraid
Go
Please...
This way please
This way please
Master Siu, please
Inside please
Please
This is the house haunted by ghost
Ghost...how does it look like?
Tell me
Only Ah Jin saw it
l...l don't dare tell
Why?
We've been hearing strange noises
Ever since being haunted,
my daughter began feeling ill
You must help me
Don't worry
I'II settle it
Thanks...
Thanks...
How come I feel chilly in such
hot weather!
Go and get rid of the ghost
Stop it, this is a valuable dress
Where do you want to go?
We'd better leave after this meal
You're really good at cheating
You are not any better
You just eat and then leave
...without doing anything
This is ridiculous
Goddess and Bodhisattva
You have the guts and are not
afraid of ghosts
I can't do it, you do it
Watch me
I despise liars
they never keep their word
These techniques are only used to
scare people
Others won't know but you should
Then you shouldn't cheat
How can your stomach...
Stop it
Oh, I almost forgot; Let me tell you
If the ghost really comes and
takes advantage of you
...don't blame me
Damn you!
Look at you, you are frightened to death
It's me, you are so frightened
You...
What happened to you?
You've got cramps?
Ghost
Ghost
Jin Lian, run
Wait
Please help me
It's you
Jin Lian
Jin Lian...
Don't choke her to death
Abbra cadabbra
Show your powers
Jung Kuei's here
Alright...
Now that Jung Kuei is here,
we sure can nab the ghost
Right...
Here
I'm master, not a ghost
You killed 87 people in your previous life
And all these 87 spirits are here
to get you
...and your daughter
They want to destroy you
Let me get them away
Student
Yes
Prepare the sacred items
Yes
Master...
Did you hear the ghosts screaming?
What are you doing?
I'm putting 87 nails on you
...to draw out all those 87 spirits
Master Siu
lam Jung Kuei
Oh Master Jung, if you put these
87 nails through me
...I would certainly be killed!
Isn't it worth sacrificing your own life
...for the sake of your family
Master Jung,
is there any other alternative?
Please, please, please...
don't put nails through me,
I'll do anything
Then...
you will have to find a replacement
Whoever is willing to be my replacement
...I'II pay him well
Why are you hitting me?
You bastard
Why come bother me
when Priest Chuen Yang is here?
Priest Chuen Yang?
Brother Lui, how are you?
A pity...once in the secular world,
my power vanishes
Lin, it's Lui Tungbin from heaven
Don't you know that?
He's my nephew
He's poor and has come to me
and wants to marry my daughter, too
How do you know?
Let me grant you the spiritual eye
Then you can see the holy fire
above his head
Do you see it?
Do you see it?
I don't cheat
You've asked me to come all the way
You'd better pay the host of
the ceremony well
Yes
The 87 spirits?
If Priest Chuen Yang agrees...
ask him to be your sonin-law;
And grant peace to your whole family
OthenNise, there's only one way
Wait, I'll go ask him
Look
Ten
Look
Ten dollars
I won't earn that much...
working for Master Lin even for a year
What's so good about it?
Student, you have a part in this too
Who is your student?
I sympathize with Miss Lin
...and want them to get married
What's the difference?
You've become a matchmaker
...and I've got my money
Come on, let's go get some...
new clothes
I couldn't be bothered
Jin, Peony must be very happy
Brother, I'm really grateful
I give this back to you
Go
Don't follow me
Whoever can find Jin Lian
I'll treat him for a meal, let's go...
Go find Jin Lian
It's too expensive, I don't want it
Alright
Go...
Hurry, go...
What happened to these people?
Master Siu, don't get involved
I can call up the gods
why can't I get involved?
True, but the poor are afraid of
evil people
Damn it, whatever you owe must be
paid back
You simply can't owe the money
for so long, go
Go. Quick
What happened?
Master Siu, it's you?
Aren't they human beings?
You don't treat them like human beings
Master , you don't know
These penniless loafers owe
our master money
They must pay back immediately
I can see that they don't have the money
What's the point of...
taking them to Master Liou?
True, but I've got to take them back...
to finish myjob
Go
Go, hurry
Go...
It's him
Master, I'll definitely return
the money to you
...when I've reaped my harvest
I definitely will return it to you
Bullshit...l've heard that for many times
Come on, hand over the deed now
I'm taking your land for what you owe me
I've actually done you a favour
I borrowed three dollars from you
and you want to rob me of my land?
You are ruthless
Three dollars?
Principal plus interest,
how much should that be?
Eighteen
Isn't enough. Aren't you going to
hand over the deed?
Well?
Hand it over
Stand there
Wait
Who are you?
Attack
I'm Guan Yunjang
Guan Yunjang?
I fight for justice
I'm here because of your immoral deeds
Damn it
Come

Thanks...
Monkey god
This burning spade...does it work?
He eats it
Liou Deruei
I'll destroy you and your family
if you sin again
And burn down your home with fire
from heaven
Aren't you going to release them?
Yes...
Stop joking
I do this...
for the sake of saving peoples' lives
It's good that I can still walk
othenNise, I'll become Cripple Li
Alright...l'll go with you
to see a doctor
I can do magic
why do I need a doctor?
Alright, then you hang on
Master Siu...over there
Excuse us
Master Siu
We've brought some gifts to...
thank Guan Yunjang and the monkey god
...for saving us
Right...
Put them down
Does Liou Deruei give you any trouble?
No
If we have good harvest this autumn
...we can pay him back
Please accept these gifts
Student
Take it
You can go back
Thanks for all the trouble...
you undertook
Stop it
Dragon King of the Eastern Sea is here
You know that those people in town
...want me to teach them kung fu
I'm so tired...
can't you let me have a good sleep?
It's that kung fu you teach
which causes problems
What?
Those people fought with Liou's followers
They fought?
They will be in trouble
Go and see what happened
You want to create trouble?
Beat them up
Fight
Teacher is here
Look, my kung fu is good
Teacher once told me that...
all the kung fu he taught me is genuine
Go
Go...
Quick...go
Master Shum, Master Jiu
No need to be formal, let's go in
Please
We haven't seen...
each other for so many years
What brings you here...
Brother, don't make fun of me
I've failed recently in a business deal
and am in trouble, so...
Don't worry
you are safe in this place
Drink...
Have some food
Help yourself
You look worried
It used to be a trivial matter
No one has ever dared to oppose me before
But now it's different
Recently there's a kid
A kid?
He practises spiritual boxing
Everyone in town treats him...
like god
Stop
Hit it yourself
Stop
Come and have a look
Look
With this medicine,
you won't get burnt easily
The special charcoal has been prepared
If you've courage to put it
in your mouth, the fire...
deplete of any oxygen in the mouth
will soon extinguish
This bastard
I must teach him a lesson
Sit down
Leave.
Guan Yunjang is here;
who dares to act unruly?
You are bluffing
You...you be careful, I'm Guan Yunjang
I am Guan Yunjang, how dare you?
Me
I am the monkey god
Teacher
Look, this is the monkey god
What is that?
I'm Lin Daiyu
Then I'll be Ja Boyu?
Don't touch my valuable dress
I'm the Dragon King of the Eastern Sea

It's bad, Zijin is upon me
What's the matter?
Liou is here again. C'mon, fight
Don't let him run away, I'm here
Good
Why don't you run?
They all fight for you, how can you flee?
I have to
If you continue to be like this,
I'll just ignore you
You know nothing
The two fellows who are with Liou
...are robbers who kill
My teacher saw them committing crimes
Run
Let's get away
Heart and god conceal soul of
each lurking spirit
...in matter critical as decreed
Teacher
So it's you!
Brothers, nice meeting you
Your student is good
Not that good
That's why I've invited you to teach him
Teacher, you...
Good

Don't move
Over there
Right, well fought
Coming?
Don't move

I know, they want to catch me too
Who wants to catch you?
Your teacher saw these 2 robbers
committing crime
that's why they want you for questioning
Teacher
Take them away
Yes...go
Go...hurry
Miss, the road is wide enough
I'm down in luck
What do you mean?
My teacher's been summoned
by Li Taibai(wine God)

Had a good friend once; she's gone as well
Hey, I haven't gone
You...Jin Lian!
