[Lanruo Temple]
There’s a monster.
Ah, nothing.
It's just a dead bird.
Ah?
Hua, I hope I’m not late.
Who are you?
Yan Hongxia, why are you here?
I'm the best exorcist in the world.
How can I keep myself away
from getting rid of a monster?
This is a tree monster of a thousand years.
She’s no less powerful than you and me.
You'd better be careful.
The monster that can kill me hasn't been born yet.
Yan Chixia’s Legend and Lanruo Temple
[Rujia Tavern]
What are you doing?
Come down here and help.
OK.
Oh, please come in.
[Houde Eatery]
Here.
Gimme.
He took Xuanyuan Sword
and slashed at Laolao.
Laolao
turned into a white light.
Bang.
The whole night became bright as daytime,
and you couldn't open your eyes.
But when you opened your eyes,
Laolao was gone.
She was smashed.
Awesome!
That night,
my master not only drove away the monster,
but also saved Hua Tai 'an's life.
Who is this Hua Tai 'an?
He's the Chief of the Exorcism.
He was not unrighteous in the least,
insisting that the monster had already been tamed by him
and that my master stole his thunder.
Don’t you think it's irritating?
Yes, very.
Oh, I'm so angry.
Of course,
a monster hunter is important.
Conversely,
it also needs some assistance.
Look.
Let's say we have a new product,
a monster hunter.
It's got some pretty good stuff on it.
But I don't understand it.
I must invite my young master.
Please welcome my young master Yan Chixia.
Okay.
The Monster Hunt Prevention Manual
was written by Yan Hongxia, the best exorcist,
and all 81 kinds of monsters were recorded in the book.
-How much does it cost? -Eighty-one.
The original price was ninety-eight,
but now it only costs ten taels.
The first five friends riding horses
can also enjoy a 20% discount.
We're also giving away a monster hunter
a fourfold mirror.
The product has a glossy black finish
and a concave-convex surface with sharp edges and corners.
I think it's okay to take it home
and keep it as an ornamental,
or a monster hunt to guard your house.
It can do anything for you,
It can achieve
everything you can think of,
So, wait no more.
It moves like a rabbit. When the rabbit dies, the fox is dead.
Joys and sorrows, sorrows and strength, strength and whatever.
It’s just ten taels.
It’s really a bargain.
What are you waiting for?
Take action and buy one now.
Get one quickly.
Chixia,
why aren’t they persuaded?
I don’t know.
Ten taels.
Well done.
Ten taels once.
How insightful.
Anymore? Anymore?
Twenty taels.
Twenty taelsonce.
Anyone has a higher price?
Thirty taels.
Thirty taels once.
Thirty taels twice.
Thirty taels three times.
This book is yours.
Deal.
Look.
The book is like
true gold that fears no fire.
It fears no wind, fire nor water.
It is invulnerable.
It could help you break a rock in your chest.
Come.
Who’s that?
Come out. Who’s that?
Who’s that?
What a fraud.
Where’s he from?
I don’t know.
Why didn't you see him?
I didn't notice.
Chixia,
he looks powerful.
The famous Yan Hongxia
has such a useless son as you.
It must have been really hard for him.
Who are you talking about?
If you are not useless,
why are you swindling people by selling trash?
-You are useless! -Trash?
Your whole family is useless.
Okay. Stop. Stop.
Just ignore him.
If Yan Hongxia really
has a son useless like you,
surely he is not that powerful.
You may demean me,
but I will not have you demean my father.
Mr. Shi.
What’s up?
Now there are many monsters in Lanruo Temple.
He said he wanted you back at once.
There are monsters?
Okay, I see.
Yes.
Catch the monsters?
Dare you catch the monsters of The Lanruo Temple?
What am I afraid of?
I have so many artifacts.
If you do catch them,
I'll pay triple the price
for all the stuff you're selling.
If you can't,
get the hell out of here.
I don't want a bum like you
hanging around here.
He wouldn't dare.
He must be afraid.
Yes.
Chixia.
-Never mind. -He lied.
Waste will always be waste.
Liar.
He wouldn't dare.
He will soon be exposed.
Coward.
Yes.
Deal.
He dares.
Yes.
Chixia.
Dad.
What’s this, dad?
This is a talisman.
With it,
the monsters will know you are my son,
and they will not dare to bully you.
When I grow up,
I'm going to be an exorcist like my father.
Chixia,
how can you agree to that?
If we really meet monsters,
we will not be able to fight them.
What the hell are you thinking about?
You and I are experienced.
There aren't so many monsters.
If…
If there’s no monsters,
what are we doing in the darkness
in Lanruo Temple?
You just look for the monsters’ stuff
and show it to him.
Then you can say we fought with the monsters for three hundred rounds
and took it from them.
We can actually do this.
Chixia, how awesome you are.
Let's split up.
Split up?
Why?
What?
Are you afraid of the dark?
Of course, I’m not.
How come? You must be kidding.
Xiaohua.
Ah.
Ah…ah…ah…
You are good.
Don't you come over here? I’m the exor…
Exor…what?
You did a good job pasting this.
Bro, bro.
Who is your bro?
Can’t you see I’m a girl?
Are you blind or what?
Boss,
he's a real exorcist.
He is a poor man
and has no money at all.
The exorcist?
Come on. Drive me away.
Drive me away. Drive me away.
-Drive me away. -Drive me away.
Boss,
don't start off with him anymore.
A poor wretch.
I see it's all for nothing today.
-Let’s go. -Let’s go.
Wait for me.
This is a talisman.
With it,
the monsters will know you are my son,
and they will not dare to bully you.
Chixia.
Chixia, what’s wrong?
Chixia.
I'm fine. I had a fall.
Where have you been?
Chixia,
I saw three figures go by just now.
I tried to catch them but I failed.
Did you see them?
What three figures are there?
I didn't see them.
Well, maybe I was wrong.
Let's go. Let's go.
This place is so scary.
-Slow down, slow down. -Okay.
-I almost fell to my death. -Let's go.
Why are you so shy?
Come.
-Don’t. -How annoying!
Why are you so shy?
Watch out.
Don’t come any closer.
Be quiet.
Chixia.
These monsters
stay up most of the night to bathe here.
They don't pay any attention to the consequences.
I wouldn't love a woman
like that no matter what.
Chixia.
-What… -What do I do to you?
What are we gonna do?
You're always picking on me.
Chixia.
Chixia,
what are we gonna do?
-Okay. -I’m going to fight back.
You
go and steal
some of those girls' clothes,
give them to the boy,
and tell him
-they are the monsters’. -You badass.
What monsters are there in the dark?
Chixia,
like you said it is dark.
It's not nice of you
to let me go alone.
I can't see very well.
My eyesight isn't very good either.
So, you should go.
It’s…it’s just that
I don't feel comfortable
leaving you here by yourself.
I’ll be fine.
Let’s go together.
-Okay. -Let’s go.
Where are they?
Ah. Chixia.
Look.
Someone is there.
She looks nice.
Let’s steal her clothes.
Go.
Girl, there's a monster around here.
But don't be afraid.
The monsters have been driven away by us.
Are you
swimming or diving here?
The water temperature is pretty good.
Then I'll go.
So
that monster
kicked me
[Houde Eatery]
on the face.
But I was well prepared.
So I slapped her
onto the tree with Fire-cloud Palm.
Isn't it unique to Shaolin Temple?
Yes.
It’s from Shaolin Temple.
-Yes. -It’s from Shaolin Temple.
Yes?
Translate it for them.
Shut up.
The Fire-cloud Palm…
All martial arts are from Shaolin, you know?
I don't want to know that.
I just want to know
if the monsters have...
that…
Yes. Yes.
What?
You know it. She’s sexy.
As it happens,
here's a copy of
The Story of the Monsters and Me.
Ten taels.
Anyone wants it?
What do you think of it?
Give me the money.
Boo!
Let’s go. Let’s go.
Hey, you.
Chixia.
Aren’t you
the one
from the Exorcism Circle?
Where did this dress come from?
Lanruo Temple.
What? Do you want to fall back?
Stop.
Xiaohua, settle accounts.
A total of ten thousand taels after rounding.
Ten thousand taels.
Don’t leave.
Boy. Hey.
Greetings to Laolao.
Okay.
Yin Hong,
How is the yang souls’ sucking going on recently?
Laolao,
there's a lot of fighting out there.
There is only one tavern
with the most people in a radius of 50 kilometers.
Although it is closer to the town,
if we take the initiative,
we can certainly absorb more yang souls.
[Houde Eatery]
Chixia,
we took her clothes
like this.
What if someone should come and look for you?
How can he find this place in the dark?
Besides,
it's worth a lot of gold.
I haven't got the money from Shi yet.
Makes sense.
Keep it safe. Keep it safe.
Hello,
beauties.
Are you going to eat or stay?
If we don't eat or sleep,
we can't come here?
You can.
But what are you going to do here?
What am I going to do?
That
depends on
what you have.
If you are here,
we have everything.
This way, please.
Girls,
make these men
happy.
Men.
How tacky.
Come on. Have a drink.
The three of us have a drink together.
Okay. Good wine.
Fill it.
A ball?
No.
Have some wine.
Chixia.
What?
Is someone behind me?
Make yourself at home.
How annoying.
Chixia, see?
We should learn this character.
Learn. Right?
Ah.
Master,
why aren’t you playing with us?
I have to go upstairs first.
Wait!
I'll play with you later.
I’ll wait for you.
Chixia.
Wait.
Miss,
how did you come in?
Master.
Get lost.
Leave me alone.
Tell me
what kind of talent do you have?
Can you sing
or are you going to dance?
Fine. Enough.
Don’t sing anything.
The door is there.
Leave now.
I’m busy.
Master.
I just got here.
How can you drive me away?
Can’t you tell the door
from the bed?
Give me my stuff.
What?
You tell me what it is.
How do I know what it is?
I didn't steal your heart.
My clothes.
Your clothes?
What clothes?
Stop. Stand still.
Why?
Stand still. Give me.
It’s okay. It’s okay.
No. No. No.
Study hard and make progress.
[Houde Eatery]
Give me strength.
No.
Chixia.
Master,
come on.
Why are you such a dork?
You're just sitting there.
Look at us.
Master, what’s on your mind?
Don’t come closer.
Come.
Stand still.
Listen.
Stand still.
No. No. No.
No. No.
Miss, Miss.
If you have anything to say, put it nicely.
Give it back.
Stand still.
-Are you mad? -Stand still.
Stand still.
Give it back. I’m warning you.
Is it yours?
Don't run.
Okay!
Stop.
What?
Look at you.
Don’t.
What the hell
is going on with you?
Monsters.
All monsters.
Where’s Xiaohua?
Xiaohua
was caught by them too.
[Houde Eatery] [Cashier]
[Exorcism Hall]
Chief,
there's someone here to see you.
He asked me
to give this to you.
Give me.
Ask him in.
Yes.
Chixia is here.
Uncle Hua.
It’s been a while.
Uncle Hua,
Xiaohua was taken away by the monsters.
I would like to ask you
to send some of the exorcism masters
to help me rescue him.
Xiaohua?
By the way,
I got this
from the monsters.
This…
This is
from Laolao.
You know her?
This monster is Laolao.
She used to be a tree.
Back then,
when she appeared,
it was your father and I
who put her back together.
Laolao
put all the souls and powers she had absorbed
into an instrument.
She has been uprooted,
but as long as her instrument is there,
she can quickly come back to life.
Could the bell
be her instrument?
I’m not sure.
Go and fetch Shi Biao.
Yes.
Chief.
Shi Biao,
Go find Laolao together
with Yan Chixia and our men immediately
Report as soon as you have any information.
Whether she has a tool or not,
once found, immediately wipe it out.
Yes.
Go.
Why?
Rescue Xiaohua.
It takes time to assemble the men,
and to prepare the weapons.
If you're in a hurry,
you can go yourself first.
You…
Okay.
I’ll go by myself.
[Rujia Tavern]
Now there are many monsters in Lanruo Temple.
[Lanruo Temple]
The meeting started over there.
Let’s go.
Laolao,
we picked up a guy
from the tavern yesterday.
No matter how much
we tempted him,
the man would not budge.
I think
this man's yang soul
must be different from that of other people.
I brought him back.
at the idea that you just need it to nourish your body,
Good.
Why are you in such a hurry?
I'm not done yet.
Take him down.
Yesterday, when you sent us
to the tavern to absorb the yang souls,
you actually went there in person.
Are you worried about us?
I've been following you for years.
How can I protect you
if I can't even feel your breath?
Why are you so weak?
Is it because
you really got some disease,
or is it because
you lost something?
What do you think I lost?
Then where is your bell?
Who are you?
It doesn't matter who I am.
The important thing is
that you lied to everyone.
If you know that
Laolao has an artifact
that stores all of her powers,
and one of you conscienceless creatures got it,
and rebelled,
her efforts of so many years
would be in vain.
Yin Hong,
I flatter myself that I have treated you well.
Why are you ganging up on me
with an outsider?
Why?
You are asking me why.
You used us to suck the yang souls
to increase your power.
Why?
If it hadn't been for me,
you'd have been dead.
Really?
What else can you do now?
You have to beg me.
There are some things
we need to work out ourselves.
Get out.
You get out as well.
Laolao.
Get out.
Xiaohua. Xiaohua.
Let’s go. Chixia.
[Lanruo Temple]
This big double eyelid.
Don't come over here.
Come here again and I'll exorcise.
You are awake.
Okay. Save your energy.
Don’t try to grab it.
You've
lost all your powers.
If you move again,
you’ll perish.
And you are still.
Chixia, how amazing you are.
You overpowered the head of the monsters.
Even Hua Tai 'an didn't succeed.
Are you wondering
why you didn't die?
That's because Chixia
gave you that pill
to keep your human form.
Don't worry.
It won't last more than a few days.
Xiaohua,
wash her face.
Chixia, she glared at me.
You're so pampered.
No one's waiting on you.
You're not used to it, are you?
Sit tight.
Don’t be nervous.
Okay. Stay here.
I'm going out.
Chixia, where are you going?
To the Exorcism.
As soon as we rescued her,
you go tell Hua Tai 'an.
That's not a good idea, is it?
Don't worry. I won't tell him.
Laolao is a good monster.
After my training,
she must be able to mend her ways.
But still she is a monster.
Greetings to Laolao. You are so powerful.
Xiaohua is rescued. That's good.
Now I feel at ease.
If you need any help in the future,
please come to me.
By the way,
I once saw a man with an exorcism token
in Laolao's cave.
[Token]
He must have been in cahoots with Laolao.
But we don't know
what exactly his purpose is.
Chixia, thank you for working so hard.
You go back and rest .
I'll look into the matter.
Okay, I'm gonna go.
Okay.
[Lanruo Temple]
Yin Hong,
it's time you kept your promise.
Now that Laolao is missing,
she can't live.
That's not what we promised.
Okay.
So,
as soon as I kill Laolao,
and find the soul-capturing bell…
I'll send people
to the Exorcism right away
to kill Hua Tai 'an
and put you in his place.
When the time comes, I would like to
ask you to do me a favor
for an old time’s sake.
You know what, Yin Hong,
actually we are of the same kind.
But
you are
a monster,
and I’m a man.
Remember, Yin Hong,
If you dare break your promise,
I'll have the exorcism on you in no time.
I'll have the sugar-coated haws.
I want it now.
Cloth.
Take a look at it.
Noodles.
My vegetables.
Are you blind?
I'm sorry, Sister.
My sister has trouble with her mind.
I'm sorry. I'm sorry.
I'm sorry.
-Who’s your Sister? -Bye.
It’s okay. Let’s go.
Let’s go.
Cloth. Take a look.
Go.
You like it?
This one?
Yes.
Give it to him.
[Houde Eatery]
[Rujia Tavern]
Hi.
What are you doing?
Settling accounts.
Settling accounts?
Why?
To see how much you owed me.
How mean.
You have to give it back.
Where’s the pill? It’s almost the time.
I'm not ready to let you die.
So,
I'll give this back to you.
I can't keep it.
If I go away,
will I never see you again?
What do you want to see me for?
I like you.
What?
Since I have been with you,
I have found that
there are many interesting things in this world
except for being a monster.
Then you will be a good monster in the future.
But I don't want to be a monster now.
I just want to be with you.
I want to be with you forever and ever.
You really have a one-track mind.
Then it’s up to
how well you behave yourself.
Yan Chixia,
I swear to you,
if I use the bell to harm people again,
you will kill me.
Are you out of your mind?
Why would I kill you?
How silly.
Here you are. Keep it.
[Rujia Tavern]
[Houde Eatery]
Hurry up.
Go.
Killer.
The monster is killing people.
I’m telling you
don’t… don’t come closer.
Help. Help.
It’s not me.
It is her. It is her.
I saw her kill.
It's really not me.
Don't you believe me either?
I gave you the bell,
and you did this to me?
Monsters kill people,
and exorcists hunt monsters.
There's no way we can be together.
I was wrong about you.
Just go.
Chixia, how about…
Shut up.
[Rujia Tavern]
Artifact to capture monsters.
-Have a look. -I’ll have one.
Don’t.
There’s enough for all of you.
Here you are.
There’s more.
Here’s the money.
This one. This one.
I want two. Be quick.
Good?
Very.
I'm too insecure.
Chixia, we made so much money.
It’s a powerful monster.
Lanruo Temple again.
Shi Biao.
Yes.
Take my disciples and quickly investigate the Lanruo Temple.
I'll take care of it right away.
Go.
[Lanruo Temple]
Hello.
Waiter, wine.
Okay.
Hurry up and drink.
Waiter,
hurry up.
Yes, sir.
Refill it. Refill it.
Bad things happened.
The monster of Lanruo Temple is killing people.
Please
let us go.
Get ready.
Chixia.
Yan Chixia.
And you are here.
Don't you want to be an exorcist?
No.
Aren't you trying to save the people?
No.
I'll show you
how they are killed today.
No.
Stop.
No.
What do you think?
Fun?
Chixia.
Xiaohua.
What are you doing?
Monster,
you ruined my whole plan.
Now the only way
to prove I'm qualified to replace Hua Tai 'an
is to kill you.
Does this feel familiar?
Monster,
I couldn't kill you last time.
This time, you're going to die.
Sorry, Chixia.
In the future,
I can't accompany you anymore.
Don't get caught swindling.
Xiaohua.
Monsters are monsters.
I swear to you,
if I use the bell to harm people again,
you will kill me.
[Rujia Tavern]
This is Xuanyuan Sword.
Hua Tai 'an,
I can finally replace you.
From today on,
I am the chief of the Exorcism.
What did you say?
I killed people,
so I’m not qualified.
Yes.
[Token]
I did kill the two people
in the tavern.
But they're just the bait.
Their sacrifice is valuable.
This tree monster
absorbs the evil spirit of the sky and the earth
and finally becomes a tree monster after years of accumulation,
endangering the world.
But not long ago,
I got rid of this monster.
Good.
That's not the point.
But that night,
I was in danger.
Chixia raised his Sword.
It is conceivable
how powerful the blade is.
Unexpectedly,
it was stopped by the tree monster.
-Ah? Why? -Yes.
I also want to know why.
How do you use this sword?
That's a good question.
The use of this sword is…
Go on. Hurry up.
-Let me think. -How…
Do you know how to use it?
Okay, okay.
I don't know.
But Chixia does.
Let’s welcome Chixia.
-Welcome Chixia. -Really.
-Chixia. Chixia. -Come on.
Young master.
-Yan Chixia. -Young master.
Come on.
Young master.
Come on.
Yan Chixia.
Come on.
It is interesting only when Yan Chixia explains it.
Yes.
Xuanyuan Sword, right?
Yes, right.
Xuanyuan Sword
is said to weigh five kilograms,
but actually weighs more than 50 kilograms.
It was stuck in the earth. I pulled it out
and put it on my shoulder.
When I saw the monster, I chopped at her.
-If it were you… -Impressive.
I couldn’t even put it out.
Yes.
[Lanruo Temple]
Xiaoqian,
what are you looking at?
Let’s go.
Coming.
