Strange Tales of Huangquan Village (2026)

[bunniefuu]

Is anyone there?

Is anyone there?

Is anyone there?

Sorry for disturbing your peace.

Please make way for this young man.

Stop rushing me.

Wait until the paint dries.

I'll go by myself then.

Grandma.

I wonder what village this is.

Why is there only your family here?

Huangquan Village.

In one's life.

Ashes to ashes.

Dust to dust.

You can escape the first

day of the lunar new year.

But not the fifteenth.

There are many people in the village.

And it's very lively.

But.

You can't see them.

Nor touch them.

Grandma.

I just want to collect

stories told by centenarians.

And anecdotes.

Grandma.

I wonder.

Would you like to hear them?

Then grandma.

I'll tell you.

The legend about Huangquan Village.

Red paper doll.

Green paper doll.

Pale face and red lips.

Heavy rain falls.

The basin doesn't break.

Old Master Qian is coming back to life.

Filial sons, kowtow.

Godfather.

Get out of here.

Scram.

Godfather.

Rain hits the coffin.

The sky won't clear.

Old Master Qian died wrongfully.

The coffin touches the ground.

Bad luck for the living.

Hurry and invite Uncle De.

Rain hits the lake, wild ducks swim.

Fish in the water can

hardly open their mouths.

How long will this darkness last.

Cranes fly to the horizon,

water flows backward.

It has been raining for

more than half a month.

There's no sign of it stopping.

It's an omen of misfortune.

Really, Master?

Didn't they say that after the ninth

day of the second lunar month in winter.

Spring rain is as precious as oil?

What do you know.

That's when the spring rain

doesn't last more than half a month.

If it does, disasters will come.

It can't be that evil.

Why are you so careless.

It's okay, Mom.

Uncle De said so.

You can't leave this room these days.

Otherwise.

You'll be in mortal danger.

Mom, don't be so superstitious.

Look, I'm fine.

Don't you believe it.

Uncle De.

His divination is very accurate.

Qing'er, your father left early.

If something happens to you.

How can I go on living.

I know, Mom.

What's wrong, Qing'er?

Mom.

What's wrong?

So many bats.

So many bats.

Corpse fluid in the coffin.

The smell of medicine lingers.

The rope breaks, the coffin falls.

Resentment soars to the sky.

No wonder Old Master Qian refuses to leave.

Uncle De, do you mean.

Old Master Qian didn't die of old age.

But was poisoned to death.

You have no evidence.

You're talking nonsense.

My master is never wrong.

Whether it's natural death or m*rder.

Just open the coffin and we'll know.

You can't just open it whenever you want.

Delaying my godfather's burial time.

Can you afford the responsibility?

Ungrateful, unfilial and treasonous.

How could you do such a thing.

Aren't you afraid of divine retribution?

Surnamed Mao.

You're spitting venom.

Today I refuse to believe in this evil.

Come on, lift it.

Lift it.

Fellow villagers, Old Master

Qian was kind during his lifetime.

All villagers generously donated

money in times of difficulty.

I believe all of you

don't want Master Qian to

pass away so unjustly, do you?

Yes.

Uncle De said, "Yes."

Yes.

Indeed, it is so.

Lift! Hurry up!

Lift it for me!

Hurry! Lift it quickly!

As long as I can lay my

adoptive father to rest in peace,

everyone

will get an extra ten silver dollars.

Hurry up!

Ten silver dollars.

Come on, come on.

Come on, hurry up.

Hurry up!

Just for a few silver dollars,

do you have any conscience left?

Exert oneself.

One's sincerity for another's,

hardly worth ten taels of silver.

Hurry up!

Come.

What a pity!

Put your strength into it!

Hurry up!

The coffin is stuck to

the ground; We can't lift it!

This is too evil!

Lift! Hurry!

Lift it!

Push harder!

It's up!

The coffin is rising.

Rencheng!

Master Hu, you're finally here!

We're almost past the auspicious time.

You go first.

Okay.

I'll catch up soon.

Alright.

Lift the coffin and set off!

Adoptive father!

Adoptive father!

Rain hits the coffin.

The sky won't clear.

Old Master Qian died wrongfully.

Died wrongfully.

Senior Brother, long time

no see. How have you been?

Uncle Master, I'm

Tianliang, Master's disciple.

Misleading the younger generation!

You're the one who was

expelled from the sect by Master,

the incompetent Uncle Shi

Wucheng who knows nothing!

Where did this wild girl come from?

So rude!

Master, I think Little

Junior Sister is quite cute.

Back then, Master was kind-hearted,

and spared your life.

I never thought you'd remain

incorrigible and help the tyrant do evil.

Allowing the wrongfully dead

to be buried with injustice.

Aren't you afraid of karmic retribution?

If I can't follow the Dao,

then I'll defy heaven!

I'll retrieve everything I

lost back then, one by one.

You'd better not covet Guishan Mountain.

Otherwise, I'll clean up

the sect on Master's behalf.

With you?

We'll see about that.

Tianliang, let's go.

We'd better believe it exists,

rather than doubt it and regret later.

It's okay, Mom.

I must have misseen it.

Alright, Mom.

You should go rest quickly.

Let's go, let's go.

This.

Go rest now.

This kid.

Who lost such a beautiful handkerchief?

I lost it! I lost it!

Did you embroider this?

Yes, I did.

It's beautifully embroidered.

If you like it, I'll give it to you.

Really?

My name is Tianliang. What's yours?

My name is Miao Qing'er.

Miao Qing'er.

Let's go.

I'll come play with you when I have time!

Erbao, what are you doing over there?

Born on the 28th of the

seventh lunar month at yin hour,

a short life filled with bad romances.

Bad romances!

Erbao!

What are you yelling about nonsense?

Bad romances!

Bad romances!

You molested a decent

woman; You have an evil heart.

And you're incompetent and ignorant!

From now on, we sever the

master-disciple relationship!

Leave!

I hope you'll behave

yourself in the future.

Master!

Master!

Please give your disciple

another chance, Master!

Please give me another chance, Master!

Master!

Master, please give

Rencheng another chance!

Master!

Master!

Master, this place isn't

fit for humans to live in!

That's why

we must become superiors among people!

Who is it?

Knocking so loudly in

the middle of the night!

You go.

Adoptive father just passed away.

I'm scared.

What's there to be afraid of?

Let's go together.

Who is it?

Who is it?

Stop yelling!

It's just the wind.

I'm afraid he's

coming back for revenge.

Come back? Impossible!

If he dares to come back,

I'll k*ll him again.

Let's go.

Fugui!

I'm here to pick you up.

Adoptive father! Adoptive father!

It's her!

She made me do it!

Adoptive father!

Very well!

It doesn't matter if I die again.

Don't you like money?

I'll give it to you!

Master! Master! What's wrong with you?

Dad, are you okay?

Your grandfather is back!

No, I have to go find Master Hu!

No one can help.

Better have the Green Dragon soar high,

than let the White Tiger turn back.

Yours is not just the

White Tiger raising its head,

but the White Tiger

suppressing the Green Dragon!

This...

Uncle De, what happens when the

White Tiger suppresses the Green Dragon?

If the White Tiger rises,

the woman is fierce;

If it suppresses the dragon,

generations will be poor.

Is that right, Master?

See how obvious it is!

You're not only poor,

but you also get beaten every day!

Then Uncle De,

how can we resolve this?

As the saying goes, every

creature has its natural enemy.

The Qilin suppresses the White Tiger,

and future generations will

produce civil and military talents.

A civil official is hard to say,

but a military general is possible.

Then...

What about this shrew in my family?

We can't help you with that.

Whoever tied the bell must untie it.

Then we'll trouble Uncle De this time.

Look, it's lunchtime.

I won't keep Uncle De for lunch.

No, really.

Give the money.

Uncle De, it's just a small matter.

Dingdang, forget it.

Uncle De is truly kind-hearted!

Nonsense!

Two-faced hypocrite!

If it weren't for him back then,

Master wouldn't have

expelled me from the sect.

That old fool Master was even more biased,

always taking his side.

If I weren't lucky enough,

I don't know if I could

have come back alive.

I'm back!

I'm back!

Who's back?

He's back!

My adoptive father is back!

Didn't Master Qian just

pass away yesterday?

How come...

He misses home today?

Miss home?

He's revived from the dead!

I'm so scared to death!

This is easy.

Get peach wood nails,

drive them into the grave,

and he'll never be able to come back.

Then Master Qian will

never be reincarnated!

So,

there's no other way?

Anyway,

he was my adoptive father!

Why did we send your father away?

Did you forget?

Then we have no choice but to do this.

Qian Fugui!

Come here, come here.

If we handle the gold vein properly,

we'll have more than

enough money for generations.

Got it.

Master.

What did you talk about

with Qian Fugui just now?

Gold vein.

Master, I want to go out for a while.

It's raining so heavily outside.

What are you going out for?

I have a date with Qing'er.

Master.

Why is Erbao

so muddle-headed every day?

Don't be fooled by his

muddle-headed appearance,

he's the guardian of our Qingquan Village.

Village Guardian.

What's a Village Guardian?

Legend has it that Village

Guardians practice asceticism on earth.

They can ward off disasters and

resolve hardships for the village.

They take all the bad luck of

the village upon themselves.

Village Guardians are inherently kind,

not good at fighting.

At the same time, they

are mocked by the villagers.

To prevent the villagers

from noticing the truth,

Heaven deprives them of their intelligence,

making them seem foolish.

I see, Master.

Erbao is just

half muddled, half foolish, half crazy.

Half human, half ghost, half immortal.

Master.

What's the connection between the Village

Guardian and us guarding Guishan Mountain?

I think it's time to let you know

the secret of Guishan Mountain.

I told you to come back!

I told you to come back!

I told you to come back!

I told you to come back!

Adoptive father, don't

blame me for being cruel.

Blame yourself.

You clung to Guishan Mountain tightly,

preferring to help the outsider Uncle De

rather than me.

Humans die for wealth,

birds die for food.

You're already dead,

why do you come back to torment me?

I told you to come back!

I told you to come back!

I told you to come back!

I told you to come back!

I told you to come back!

Come back!

It's so spectacular here!

Erbao, look!

Erbao! Erbao! Look quickly!

It's so big!

So spectacular!

Isn't it, Erbao?

This grotto was built during

the Northern Qi Dynasty,

experiencing the Sui, Tang, Song,

Yuan, Ming, and Qing dynasties.

Up to my generation,

we have guarded it for

more than 1,300 years.

1,300 years is such a long time!

This grotto is connected

to the Xuanwu Cave,

and linked to the gold vein.

With its protection,

all the villages, big and

small, near Qingquan Village

have been able to live

in peace and comfort.

Once this gold vein is destroyed,

the underworld energy will gush out,

and Qingquan Village will fall

into an unprecedented disaster.

Master.

Why do those Buddha statues have no hands?

All destruction is man-made,

and all guardianship is mutual.

The green mountains and clear

waters are right in front of us.

Only by protecting and guarding each other

can we enjoy peace for ten thousand years.

Erbao, hurry up!

Master.

Is there gold here?

Why not dig and see?

Such a big place,

are you afraid the gold will run away?

I'm not afraid the gold will run away.

I'm afraid of Mao Rende.

Let's go!

Here, take this.

What are you looking at? Dig!

There's nothing here.

What the hell?

Master!

Can you bite it?

Yes, I can.

Gold!

Gold!

We're rich!

Oh my god!

It wasn't a waste of time.

Let's go home.

Let's go!

Master, you never mentioned this before.

It's not too late to tell you now.

Master.

We guard Guishan Mountain,

does Erbao have to guard it too?

You're only half right.

All of us must guard Guishan Mountain well.

It's worthy of this magnificent

rivers and mountains.

Don't worry, Master.

I will defend Guishan

Mountain with my life.

And protect Qingquan Village.

Good!

Met a Hu Rencheng,

what a heartless wretch.

If you were leaving, you should have left,

been gone for so many years,

why do you come back now?

Why didn't you die outside?

Xing, it's me.

Let me go!

I had to come back to

see you even as a ghost.

Where have you been all these years?

What have you been through?

Only ghosts know what I've been through.

Get out of my way!

I'm not an easy woman.

I'm not an easy man either.

This time I'm back and I'm not leaving.

Liar!

Am I lying?

I swear!

I don't need your oath.

There's a gold vein in Xuanwu Cave.

Gold vein?

How do you know?

What do you think I do?

My senior brother insists on

staying in Qingquan Village,

just wanting to seize

that gold vein for himself.

Why should he take it all?

Exactly!

Let's get our hands on

this gold vein together,

then we'll run away far, far away.

And enjoy wealth and prosperity.

Darling, I missed you so much!

Be gentle!

Keep your voice down!

Who's going to be around

in the middle of the night?

Erbao!

Not sleeping in the middle of the night,

are you stupid?

This one's big! This one's big!

Hurry up, this red one!

Erbao, hurry up!

Erbao! Erbao!

Master, why are you so unhappy?

Ever since your Uncle Master came back,

I've been worried that he will dig up

the gold vein in Guishan Mountain.

Master, what will happen

if the gold vein is dug up?

It's like a fierce tiger without bones,

or a green dragon without tendons.

In a few years,

its vitality will be exhausted.

What will happen to the villagers?

What about Qing'er?

Who can they blame?

Trading their lives for money,

the more they spend, the faster they die.

One word: Greed.

Two words: Deserve it.

Even if they all die young,

what good will it do us?

Money, fame, status.

I don't care.

I only want Qing'er.

Look at your ambition!

Qian Fugui's daughter, Qian Duoduo,

isn't she nice?

Once Qian Fugui dies,

that Qian Mansion

will all be yours.

I don't want it.

You...

Forget it, suit yourself.

I have something to do

and need to go out tomorrow.

You...

Going to see Miao Qing'er again?

Sweet osmanthus cake.

Sweet osmanthus cake.

Is it delicious?

Yes, it is.

My master asked me to bring this to you.

I don't know why,

every time I see your master,

I feel terrified.

Actually, I...

Actually, what?

To tell you the truth,

my master has made up his mind to

take the gold vein in Guishan Mountain.

If he succeeds,

Qingquan Village will

never have peace again.

What should we do?

Brother Tianliang, we must stop him.

Otherwise, the people of Qingquan

Village will be in great danger.

Maybe there's someone who can help

Qingquan Village get through this disaster.

Who?

My master's senior brother, Mao Rende.

Uncle De?

My senior uncle may not believe me.

Then I'll go with you tonight.

Found it!

Found it!

Gold!

We found the gold!

I didn't lie to you, did I?

Gold!

Hurry up and dig.

It will be troublesome

if Mao Rende finds out.

What's the trouble?

The mountain is mine,

the land is mine.

Why should I be afraid of him?

That Xuanwu Cave,

my senior brother has

guarded it for many years.

Aren't you afraid

he'll take it for himself?

Your mountain,

incite the villagers,

gold,

in exchange for wages.

Gold for wages!

I see.

Master Hu, you're amazing!

Go go go go.

Dig for gold.

Dig for gold.

Hurry up!

Dig for gold.

Dig for gold.

We are going to get rich.

Strike it rich.

Strike it rich.

Go away.

GO

Go go go go.

Get out of the way.

Hurry up.

Dig for gold.

Dig for gold.

All the villagers have gone to Xuanwu Cave.

I've made a deal with them:

Gold,

in exchange for wages.

We're going to be rich this time!

Dig as soon as possible.

We don't want any unexpected problems.

Yes, better safe than sorry.

I've counted it several times.

I know the number.

I know the number.

The green dragon's tendons

are broken, its life force severed;

The clear spring turns to

the underworld in an instant.

The sun, moon, and stars dwell in the sky;

The ghostly scriptures

penetrate heaven and earth.

The ways of the world prevail;

The Nine Heavens Mysterious

Lady, urgent as imperial decree!

The gold is mine!

The woman is mine too!

Everything is mine!

Did you find it?

Really?

Is this available here?

Look over there.

Is there any here?

Over here! Over here!

Hurry up.

Come on, come on

dig for gold.

There's more here.

Gold!

Gold!

We're rich!

We're rich, fellow villagers!

Dig! Hurry up and dig!

Stop!

Dig!

This is the lifeblood of our village!

Once destroyed, the clear

spring will turn into the underworld.

Qingquan Village will

never have peace again.

The green dragon's tendons

are broken, its life force severed;

The clear spring turns to

the underworld in an instant.

Don't listen to them!

They're misleading everyone!

Theythey want to take it for themselves!

Qian Fugui, you big villain!

What do you know?

Dig! Hurry up!

Don't dig anymore!

Dig quickly!

Get out of the way!

Everyone dig hard!

Don't dig!

Don't dig anymore!

Dig quickly!

Dig deeper.

Dig quickly!

Dig! Hurry, hurry, hurry!

Dig!

Stop digging!

Dig deeper.

Dig!

Stop quickly!

Don't dig!

Dig faster!

Two talisman papers between my fingers,

like thousands of troops

charging to the nine heavens.

Don't dig!

Don't dig!

Don't leave!

Come back!

Why did everyone leave?

You wait for me!

Wait for me!

The power to reverse

heaven and earth is boundless,

the Samadhi True Fire

guards Guishan Mountain.

Urgent as imperial decree!

Master, do you think

Qing'er doesn't like me?

Feelings can't be forced.

Tianliang, master is doing

this for your own good.

I'm afraid you'll get too deeply involved.

Master Hu, I was bullied by Mao Rende!

You let him bully you?

If it weren't for the fact

that he's your senior brother,

I would never let him get away with it!

You know what kind of

person I, Qian Fugui, am.

I do things openly and aboveboard.

I convince others with virtue.

I never thought I'd be

defeated by Mao Rende.

It ruined my lifelong reputation!

Fugui,

when doing things,

this...

This is the first time I've suffered

a loss, and it will be the last.

That's good.

But...

But he's crazy!

He's crazy!

He's crazy!

Mao Rende is crazy!

He sealed the Xuanwu Cave!

What do you think we should do?

We studied under the same master.

If he can seal it, I can undo it.

The Qingquan Lake is

half clear and half yellow.

It seems that

once the gold vein is broken,

the underworld energy

will definitely gush out.

Master, can the water

return to its original state?

It's hard to say.

Let's go!

Qing'er, your father left early.

If something happens to you,

how will your mother go on living?

Master, luckily we drove them away.

That was close!

Uncle De! Uncle De!

Qing'er didn't come

home all night last night.

She never did this before.

Uncle De, you know that too.

Qing'er's father left early.

If something happens to Qing'er,

what shall I do?

Aunt Miao, don't worry.

Master, please help Aunt Miao!

Dingdang, set up the altar.

Yes, Master.

It's done, Master.

Seven stars guide the way,

reveal her whereabouts!

I know where she is!

Qing'er, I've been thinking

about you day and night!

I've liked you for a long time.

What do you want?

What do I want?

Hurry up!

Master Hu, she seduced me first!

Taking advantage of others' misfortune!

You beast!

Get out!

Get out!

Master Hu told you to get out!

I have to get out too?

I'm leaving, I'm leaving!

I will never let you get away with this!

What mistake did Qing'er make?

Why did you lock her up?

Mother! Mother!

Hu Rencheng he...

Qing'er, how are you?

Qing'er!

Master Hu said,

your Miao Qing'er defiled

the water of Qingquan Lake.

She deserves it!

The water of Qingquan Lake

has nothing to do with Miao Qing'er!

It's because you touched the

gold vein in Guishan Mountain

that the clear spring

turned into the underworld.

You are the real culprits!

You're talking nonsense!

You're the one talking nonsense!

Qian Fugui, you've done all kinds of evil,

aren't you afraid of karmic retribution?

Disrespectful brat!

Rich Master Qian,

for the sake of being villagers,

please put in a good

word for us with Master Hu.

Let our Qing'er go!

Let your Qing'er go?

Let me tell you,

even if Master Hu lets

your Miao Qing'er go,

the villagers will never agree!

You're absolutely lawless!

Senior Brother!

Rencheng!

Stop k*lling innocent people!

Me, k*lling innocent people?

I'm trying to save all the villagers!

Yes!

Master Hu, please let our Qing'er go!

Scram, scram, scram!

Your Qing'er defiled the

water of Qingquan Lake,

offended the Lake God.

If we don't sacrifice her to the Lake God,

the Lake God will punish all the villagers!

Hu Rencheng, punishment?

You should be punished first!

Get out!

And you too!

What does this have to do with me?

Neither of you is a good person!

I beg you,

please have mercy!

Have mercy on us, a mother and her orphan!

Hu Rencheng!

If you keep acting recklessly,

I will act on behalf of Master

to clean up the sect!

Qing'er!

Qing'er!

Just try it!

Stop them for me!

Hurry, stop them!

Stop them quickly!

Fellow villagers!

Hurry, hurry, hurry!

Miao Qing'er is innocent!

Don't be reckless,

don't take lives lightly!

Qing'er!

Qing'er!

Qing'er!

Qing'er!

Mother will find a way to save you!

My Qing'er!

Uncle De, all the villagers

respect you very much.

I never thought you wanted to seize

the gold in Xuanwu Cave for yourself!

Ask the villagers if they agree!

We don't agree!

Fellow villagers!

The gold vein in Xuanwu Cave

is the lifeblood of our entire village!

Once it's destroyed,

great disaster will

befall Qingquan Village!

You're spreading rumors to mislead people!

You just want to seize

the gold for yourself!

Bullshit!

You... you hit me!

Drive them away!

Get out!

Go!

Go!

What are you doing?

Who's there?

Someone, come quickly!

Catch him!

Don't let him get away!

Why are you so unreasonable, kid?

Go back with your master.

Rascal!

How many times have I told you,

beautiful women are trouble!

You injured the villagers for a woman,

making me lose all face!

Tianliang,

everything I do is for your own good.

You must understand my sincere intentions!

Alright, go back to sleep.

Think carefully.

Beautiful women are trouble!

Beautiful women are truly trouble!

Master, it's time to take your medicine.

Tianliang, are you looking for me?

You molested women,

disgraced your age,

you're worse than a beast!

For the sake of our master-disciple bond,

I held back.

How dare you sneak attack me!

Then I'll send you on your way!

Master Hu!

I, I, I...

I'm all ready,

just waiting for you.

Then let's go to Qingquan Lake.

Okay. Where's that guy?

Tian... Tianliang?

Tianliang!

If dawn comes, it'll be too late.

Let's go!

Master, please find a

way to save Sister Qing'er!

It's not that I don't want to save her,

but it's her fate to suffer this disaster.

Besides, Hu Rencheng and

Qian Fugui are making trouble,

I'm powerless to help.

It's all fate.

I've divined that there's no

auspicious time these days.

Isn't that the truth!

That's exactly what I'm afraid of.

What if her wronged spirit lingers?

Then... wouldn't we be in trouble?

Why don't we wait a little longer?

We can't wait!

The longer we wait, the

more problems will arise!

But what if...

It's okay.

As long as we get through

the dark moon and dark hour,

we'll sink her into the lake.

The rest,

leave it to me.

Alright.

Qing'er!

Qing'er, mother's here to see you.

Give up on that thought!

Even if a god comes, they

can't save Miao Qing'er!

I didn't come to save my daughter.

Not here to save her?

Then are you here to make trouble?

Is that you, Master Hu?

Master Hu!

Rich Master Qian!

Can I see my daughter off?

Qing'er, eat slowly.

Mother is sorry for you.

I can't save you.

Eat slowly.

Save the rest for when you come

back on your seventh death anniversary.

Mother knows you're wronged,

knows you've suffered,

but mother can't save you.

I can only dress you in red clothes,

put on a red robe for you.

Avenge your wrongs,

take revenge on those who wronged you!

Make them pay with their blood!

Stop her quickly!

It's not time yet!

Qing'er!

Oh no, the gold vein!

Master!

Hu Rencheng!

We're rich this time!

We're rich! We're rich!

We dug this up on my land.

Eighty percent for me, twenty for you.

Any split is fine with me.

No problem.

I love dealing with

straightforward people like you!

Aren't you?

Why don't you go close the door?

Don't let anyone find out!

I should close it.

Master, where have you

been in the middle of the night?

Master!

What's this?

Gold!

Really?

Let me see!

Never seen gold before?

We're rich! We're rich!

Master!

You've worked hard all day.

Shall we

go to bed early?

Sleep?

I have to watch the gold!

I just want to take good care of you.

Take care of what?

Master, don't you like me anymore?

I like gold!

Qing'er!

Today is your seventh death anniversary.

Mother!

Cooked your favorite dishes.

Come. Your father left early.

On the other side,

you and your father can

take care of each other.

Mother will be there soon too.

Then our family of three can be reunited!

Master Hu's divination is really accurate!

We got a lot today!

As long as we have money,

we can do anything!

It's worth dying for!

I tell you, it's right ahead!

Okay!

Master Hu's divination is really accurate!

Now we're rich!

Li De!

Son, what's wrong with you, Erniu?

Erniu, what's wrong?

Erniu, don't scare mother!

Erniu!

Bless him, bless him!

Bless our Erniu!

Evil spirits retreat, people calm down!

Master, I can't hold on much longer!

Uncle De!

With ambition in the chest,

stabilize heaven and earth!

Monsters and ghosts, stay away!

Dingdang!

Here!

Silver needles!

Master!

Master!

Come!

Mother!

Erniu, you finally woke up!

Uncle De!

Erniu!

What exactly did you see?

Dashan and I,

together,

got rich!

What a heavy rain!

Dashan!

What's wrong, Erniu?

What are you doing?

Nothing.

Cooking something good?

Scram, scram, scram!

Go!

Let me see!

See what?

There's nothing to see!

Go!

Stingy!

As if no one has it!

Dashan!

Where did he go?

Cooking something good?

And you won't let me see!

Revenge on the green dragon, cramp

its muscles and break its lifeblood!

Died a terrible death!

The clear spring turned into

the underworld in an instant!

Will he come to take revenge on us?

Master Hu said he'll never return alive!

If you don't do anything

wrong during the day,

you won't be afraid when

someone knocks at night!

The clear spring turned into

the underworld in an instant!

Dashan's death,

must be related to Qing'er's mother!

We have to go to her to get justice!

Right?

Master!

Do you think Sister Qing'er

really came back to take revenge?

Humans love money,

ghosts want hell money.

I don't have to live such

a shabby life anymore!

Why stay as a widow!

I want to enjoy wealth and glory!

Qing'er!

They deserve it!

Don't worry about mother.

Avenge your wrongs,

take revenge on those who wronged you!

Mother will come down

to accompany you soon!

Your Miao Qing'er's spirit lingers,

harming innocent villagers!

Today, I lead all the

villagers to seek justice!

Seek justice!

Justice!

Then who will give our

Miao Qing'er justice?

I could sink her into the lake,

and I can make her never be reborn!

Look at your ugly faces!

This is your retribution!

Someone, take her away!

No need to trouble yourselves.

You just wait!

Hu Rencheng!

You k*lled Miao Qing'er,

drove Qing'er's mother to death,

deceived the villagers into

digging up the gold vein!

Disasters from heaven can be overcome,

but disasters caused by

oneself cannot be escaped!

We...

It's time to make a final settlement.

Midnight tomorrow night,

let's meet at Qingquan Lake.

Sister Li!

Have you heard?

Something else happened in our village!

What? Another incident?

Uncle De was right.

The clear spring turned

into the underworld.

A great disaster is coming to our village!

Indeed!

I heard from someone,

Miao Qing'er is back!

What?

Miao Qing'er is back!

Dashan is dead,

Li De is dead,

and Hongxing, the widow

in our village, is also dead!

Hongxing is dead too?

Li De is gone,

Dashan is gone,

and

even Hongxing is gone!

Miao Qing'er is back!

This... this...

Master, let's run away quickly!

Run?

My property!

What about the property?

Forget the property!

If we don't run, we'll lose our lives!

Lose our lives?

What will happen to my property?

Property!

Master!

Don't we still have the gold?

Gold!

Gold!

Go!

Hurry up!

Master!

Quick!

Go, go, go!

Quick!

Hurry up!

Let's eat.

Master, the meal is so rich today!

Dingdang!

How old are you this year?

Master, you should know

my age better than me.

Are you getting old and muddled?

Yes, I'm old and useless now.

Master, don't be angry. I'm just joking.

I'm seven years old.

Seven years...

When I picked you up at the foot

of Guishan Mountain back then,

When I picked you up at the foot

of Guishan Mountain back then,

At that time,

you cried non-stop all day.

That cry,

was as clear as a bell.

So I simply named you Dingdang.

Master, luckily my voice is nice,

otherwise you might have named me Crow!

In the blink of an eye, you've

grown into a young lady.

You're kind-hearted

and diligent in studying,

which makes me very happy.

Master, what do you mean?

You wouldn't want to sell me, would you?

How could I bear to sell you?

What I mean is,

the important task of

guarding Guishan Mountain,

can be safely entrusted to you.

Master!

Don't say any more.

The clear spring turned

into the underworld.

I violated your master's

last wish back then.

I have made an agreement with your uncle,

to meet at Qingquan Lake

at the third watch tonight,

to settle the grievances between us.

I want to go too!

I want to fight side by

side with you, Master!

You can't go!

Why?

People will say we're ganging up on him.

It will be embarrassing if it gets out.

Master, since I was a child,

I was abandoned by my

parents and you raised me.

You're my only family.

If you leave, Dingdang

will have no family left!

I don't care! I'm going!

Alright, alright!

I just can't stand seeing you cry.

I promise you,

we'll go together.

Eat quickly.

You eat too.

Why are we at my godfather's grave?

Don't scare me!

Go!

Master, where is Duoduo?

Wasn't Duoduo with us?

I don't know. We got separated.

Master, let's go find Duoduo!

Let's go!

Wait a minute!

You go find Duoduo.

I'll go back to get the house deed.

What time is it?

Why do you still want the house deed?

What if we come back later?

Fine.

Let's go!

Split up.

I'll take a shortcut.

Wait!

Here.

You can't carry this.

Hurry up!

I want to go too!

I want to fight side by side with Master!

Master, since I was a child,

I was abandoned by my parents.

You raised me.

You're my only family.

If you leave,

Dingdang will have no family left!

Senior Brother!

You invited me to fight at Qingquan Lake,

using a diversion tactic.

I knew it all along.

You're after the Guishan gold vein.

Senior Brother!

Don't be so stubborn.

I'll give you two choices.

First,

we split the gold fifty-fifty.

We brothers enjoy

wealth and glory together.

Second,

I destroy the gold vein,

and Qingquan Village will never recover.

The greatest disaster for humans,

is often greed.

I'll also give you two choices.

First,

Leave the gold.

Second,

You stay with the gold.

I'd like to see what skills

you have to make me stay!

Senior Brother, it's not

too late to regret now.

I'll give you one last chance.

You've done all kinds of evil,

completely devoid of conscience.

Do you think you still have a chance?

Madam!

Madam!

Madam!

Gold!

Gold!

Madam!

Madam!

Godfather! Godfather!

Greed kills people! Godfather!

It's gone! It's all gone!

Family ruined and people dead!

Hu Rencheng, you b*stard!

Senior Brother!

Senior Brother!

For the sake of our brotherhood,

spare me!

Hu Rencheng!

Senior Brother!

You've committed countless evils,

k*lled so many innocent lives,

turned the clear spring

into the underworld.

Master spared your life back then,

but you never repented.

You deserve this fate!

Senior Brother!

Rencheng knows he's wrong!

Master!

Master!

Master!

Master!

Master!

Master!

Master!

Master!

Master!

Master!

Master!

What a pity,

you'll never see that day.

Life is like a boat against the current,

will is harder than iron and stone.

Master and disciple, we

march against the tide together,

without desires or demands,

only for all living beings.

Master, where are you?

The water of the clear spring,

the realm of the underworld,

the vein of Guishan Mountain,

the lives of all beings.

Remember,

remember well!

Master!

Master!

Master!

Master!

Master!

Master!

Master!

Master!

Master, the water is clear

and the rain has stopped!

I'll remember your words,

in life, guard Guishan Mountain;

In death, never leave the underworld.

Black bamboo coins, ink-stained

brush reversed impression,

window-side branches

sway, thunder and rain roar.

Silver-threaded sideburns,

still loyal and steadfast,

in old age, still cherish

master-disciple friendship.

There are no evil ghosts in the world,

no guilt, no debt, no fear in the heart.

Good and evil are distinct,

retribution will come eventually,

not in vain the journey to the underworld.
