[Wu Xin The Monster Killer]
Episode 8
This is weird. Why are there teeth marks on all of them?
Why doesn't he have any?
Moreover, although they aren't breathing
their hearts are still beating.
Mr. Lu!
Wake up, Mr. Lu!
Mr. Lu!
A ghost!
Where's the monster?
Why isn't he dead yet?
I didn't die?
What am I doing here?
This...
Monster!
I need to ask you a question. You're soaked in water as well
but why can't the others be woken up apart from you?
Don't ask me. I don't know! I'm scared!
You're scared? Didn't you say that you're very tough
and there's no taboos for you?
Listen, if you don't tell me the truth
I'll make you regret waking up!
I'll talk!
I think that it could be because of this.
Where did you get this talisman from?
This is the talisman that I asked for at Qing Yun Monastery.
Qing Yun Monastery?
Why did you ask for this talisman?
I know that this villa is haunted.
I reckon that I can get the minimum price for it.
But I'm scared that I might run into something
so I specially paid a high price to get this talisman from Taoist Chu Zhen Zi.
The Taoist Master said this talisman consists of his lifetime training.
It's very powerful.
That's why I was so smug.
It seems that the evil spirit didn't harm you because of this talisman.
- What exactly happened just now? - I...
I don't quite know either.
Anyway, a gust of black wind blew toward us just now.
It trapped them one by one.
They were all clutching their necks and struggling.
It's as if they were coiled by a snake.
Then that black smoke came toward me.
I blacked out.
When I woke up, I found you here.
Why are all those who are bitten still alive in the water?
Black magic! It must be!
It seems to be here again!
My... What are you doing?
Give me back my talisman!
What are you trying to snatch? Listen up.
It's a waste for an ordinary man like you to have this talisman.
This talisman will only be put to good use in my hands.
I'll give you two options.
You can either give this to me
and I'll escort you out safely.
Or you can have it back
and I'll leave with Yue Ya. You can fend for yourself with the talisman.
- But... - But what?
If it weren't for us, you'd still be soaking in that water!
All right... I'll give this talisman to you.
Escort me out of here!
Sure. Let's go.
Something is not right.
We've been going around in circles.
Is this... the so-called ghostly wall?
Dharma Master, did you say if I gave you the talisman
you'd escort me out safely?
What should we do now?
What should we do? Are we going to die in here, Dharma Master?
Are you going to die?
Stay here then.
We're going to die here, Dharma Master!
Shut up!
Don't be scared. This is just a diversion.
Come with me.
Dharma Master, we made it out!
We made it out, Dharma Master!
I told you we can't sell this place!
What is the matter with you?
Chu Chu!
Don't get agitated!
How can we get you treatment if we don't sell this villa?
Is my health or the villa more important?
Chu Chu, please listen to me.
Why should I? You can't sell the villa! I told you that already!
Chu Chu!
You can't sell it! Do you hear me?
Take it back!
Greetings, sir.
Mr. Yu!
Mr. Yu, that... I think that
I'm not destined to buy your villa.
That evil spirit is too vicious.
I don't want to risk my life.
Why don't you find other buyers?
Other buyers?
What other buyers are there?
It's already past our appointment time
but no one came up here.
I reckon that they won't be coming.
Mr. Bai, I'm counting on you.
Look, if you're still interested in buying this villa
we can discuss the price.
Mr. Bai!
Didn't you say that you're sure to purchase this villa?
Now that there aren't any competitors, shouldn't you be pleased?
Why are you scared instead?
I didn't know that the evil spirit is so vicious!
Didn't you say that you're tough?
I don't care!
A business deal needs two willing parties!
I... I now say that
I don't wish to buy it anymore! All right?
Dharma Master, I'll take you down the mountain with me.
What is the matter with you?
I...
Dharma Master, I'm begging you. Please get rid of the evil spirit.
Otherwise, it's really hard for me to sell my villa.
We really need money urgently for my wife's health condition.
If I can't sell this villa
my wife... she will...
Wu Xin, we have to help them.
I've already made up my mind.
I'm going to stay to expel the monster.
I'll leave only after I've expelled the evil spirit.
By then, Mr. Yu can get more buyers
and can sell the villa for a good price.
No... Dharma Master, how do I leave alone if you won't come with me?
That's strange.
You have legs. The road is right outside.
Why do you have to drag me with you?
No... If I run into that monster alone
and get thrown into that pond, what should I do?
You might not run into it.
- No... Dharma Master... - Amitabha Buddha. Leave alone.
Anyway, I'm not leaving.
Dharma Master... Master!
Miss Yue Ya! I...
Why do we have to keep him?
- He's an eyesore. - Come here.
Why are you pulling me?
Give this a thought! Mr. Yu needs money urgently
so if the villa gets sold to that guy after we expel the monster
he won't need to look for buyers.
You're right.
You're still thoughtful.
But I'm thinking about how to lure that monster out.
I saw it the other day when I was in the hot springs.
Do you think that it's still there?
We can give it a try. Let's go.
Don't go!
It's just a small snake monster.
It actually stirred up such a huge commotion?
You deserved to die!
Dharma Master, this monster... is eliminated?
It is. But...
I think the monster's energy was very high just now
but why has it suddenly vanished right after the snake monster died?
When a person dies, he stops breathing.
When a monster dies, its energy naturally vanishes.
This means that the shadowy white figure we saw the other day is this snake?
Miss Yue Ya, it's the most basic witchcraft for snakes
to transform into humans.
If not, why would Xu Xian marry the white serpent lady?
That's true.
Mr. Bai, now that the monster is killed
the purchase of the villa...
As for that...
Mr. Yu, what's the rush?
Since the monster is removed
why would you be worried that the villa won't be bought?
Get more buyers.
The price can be better negotiated.
You're right.
- After you. - After you.
Don't!
I'll buy it!
We can negotiate about the price. Totally negotiable!
Although we made it easy for Mr. Bai
at least we helped Mr. Yu in his urgent need for money.
My room is here.
You can sleep well today.
Go on.
Please have a look.
Here.
- All right. - Thank you very much.
This deal is now sealed.
Since the villa will be reopened for business
it needs to get renovated.
We should at least give it a new look.
Yes, indeed.
I'll head down the mountain tomorrow and send people over soon.
I'll obey Mr. Bai's instructions.
From now on, I have to address you as Master Bai.
The villa is now sold.
However, I'm not happy at all.
Perhaps for Mr. Yu this is the best outcome.
Here, drink more!
Yu Xiao Zhu, it's not that I want to criticize you
but you've really managed the villa poorly.
You only built a few houses on such a huge piece of land
and a few baths. How many people can you fit in here?
Now that I own this place, you'll have to listen to me.
I'll have all the bungalows converted into small duplexes.
They should be two stories high.
No, three!
I'll have more baths.
Eight or ten of them!
By the way, Qing Zhu Villa doesn't sound too good.
It's too plain. I'll have it changed to "Imperial Palace Baths."
How about that? Is that good?
Yu! Did you gang up to scam me?
Didn't you say that the evil spirit has been removed?
Master Bai, you've misunderstood.
That's my wife who is weeping.
What is this about?
Why is she crying on a joyous day?
I'm sorry.
My wife is very attached to this villa.
She couldn't bear to sell it.
She hasn't been in a good mood these days.
She's in a bad mood and she has to jinx me?
If your wife keeps behaving like this, how can I run my business?
It won't happen. I'll be sure to talk her around.
It's best if you could
or I'll really have to reconsider allowing you to keep staying here.
You're too mean!
This villa was Mr. and Mrs. Yu's creation!
It's only normal that she cried. How can you say that?
Miss Yue Ya, it's their business whether they are upset or not.
But it's up to me to decide who gets to stay or leave.
Why can't I say it?
You...
Miss Yue Ya, thank you.
Master Bai has a point.
I will do my best to convince her.
I won't let her cause any trouble.
Seriously. It's so inauspicious on a good day!
Mr. Yu, try and talk Mrs. Yu around.
It's not good for her to be too upset. Her health comes first.
Sure.
Enjoy your meal. I'll take my leave first.
Chu Chu!
Chu Chu...
Why would you torment yourself so?
I don't want to either.
I've already lost my physical form and now the villa!
That won't happen.
Have faith in me.
As long as you obey me
I'll get the villa back one day.
Stop lying to yourself!
You and I both knew that it could never be as it were.
At the moment, we've only lost the villa.
But if you continue what you're doing
- I'll also lose you! - Fine!
We'll just stay in here till that day comes.
We'll die together.
No!
That isn't what I want!
Xiao Zhu, let this go.
It will all be fine as long as you're willing to give up!
It will all be fine?
You know that life is meaningless to me if I lose you.
No matter what happens, I will have to save you.
If so, I will approach the Dharma Master myself!
No! Chu Chu!
Are you forcing me to kill more by doing this?
You should know that no matter what I have to do, I'll prolong your life.
- It's too late! Give it up! - It's not too late!
- There's still time... - Let go!
There's still time.
I can make it.
There is still time.
Wait for me.
Wait for me!
Xiao Zhu!
Yue Ya!
- Mrs. Yu? - Mrs. Yu?
Chu Chu!
Chu Chu, hang in there!
I'll save you!
Mr. Yu?
He's going to kill Yue Ya!
Stop him!
Wu Xin!
Wu Xin, are you all right?
You gave me such a fright!
Show me your wound.
Don't be scared. It just seemed frightening
but it didn't hurt me.
Don't be scared.
We've helped you so much. Why do you want to harm us?
Give up.
Why?
Why are you doing this to me?
Because I don't want you to take away someone else's loved one for my sake.
But... but we...
Look, I'm leaving soon.
Let's not keep arguing, all right?
I won't let you leave.
I can't live without you. I won't let you leave.
- Stay with me! Just a while longer! - Xiao Zhu!
I'll finally be free.
You should be happy for me.
Chu Chu... Will we still reincarnate?
We have both made grave mistakes in this lifetime.
How could we shamelessly hope for a reincarnation?
Xiao Zhu, stop being so persistent.
Will you sing me a few lines from "The Broken Bridge" to see me off?
Sure...
Xiao Zhu, farewell.
Xiao Zhu... take care.
Chu Chu...
Chu Chu!
Chu Chu...
Don't leave...
Don't leave me here...
This is entirely my fault.
I've been practicing my power for 900 years.
I didn't know about worldly affairs and I only got involved in
the human world a few decades ago.
For the past few decades, I've gone through nearly
all that I had hoped for.
But I hadn't learned how to truly love someone.
Well done!
I sang "The Broken Bridge" and "Leifeng Pagoda."
I was just acting a part.
But I didn't know what the lyrics were about.
Not until I met her.
I thought that we'd live happily ever after.
But who knew that our good days were so short-lived?
Why? Why couldn't my most beloved stay with me forever?
I've practiced so hard for 900 years.
This isn't the outcome that I seek.
- So you killed people? - I didn't.
I was only trying to save her
I used some black magic that was forbidden.
What forbidden black magic is it?
When I first came to the human world, I was very playful.
I used to go around traveling.
Once, I went into a bizarre cave.
I accidentally learned how to absorb human essence.
In order to hold onto her
I started to take human essence from others to pass onto my wife
so I could keep her soul intact.
But the witchcraft that I learned could only keep her soul alive.
As for the rest, it still couldn't be saved.
In the beginning, I was only taking very little essence from customers.
That only made them weak. It wouldn't kill them.
But later on, my wife refused to let me do that to preserve her soul.
So she started to make the villa seem haunted.
- Come here! - She scared away many customers.
There were fewer and fewer customers at the villa.
But my wife needed more and more essence.
I couldn't help but take more essence from a single customer.
Until six months ago...
Xiao Zhu, what is wrong?
I just took all the essence from one man.
What?
- You killed someone? - No!
I didn't kill anyone.
While he still had his last breath, I used my power to seal his life.
He won't die.
He's just... fallen asleep.
Then will he regain consciousness?
How is that different from killing him?
Xiao Zhu, this isn't what I want.
Let me leave.
No...
I don't want you to hurt innocent people for my sake.
I don't want you to go against natural law.
It's not worth it!
It is!
It's worth it.
As long as I can still see you, it's worthy of all that I do.
Left without much choice
for the past six months, whenever I ran into anyone
I'd take away all of his essence
and then leave him in the pond
to preserve his life.
But even so
it was hard to have enough essence.
That was why you were selling the villa.
As a trap to lure more men?
You could say so.
Only if the villa is renewed could customers frequent it again.
But when you got here, she was already too weak.
That night, I was worried that she might not make it
so I wanted to get her some essence as an urgent remedy.
That was why I approached Miss Yue Ya.
So that white shadow I saw
was Mrs. Yu and she was trying to protect me?
You have Dharma Master's blood on you
and the talisman as well.
That was why you ended up injuring her instead.
After she was injured
she couldn't hold me back anymore.
That was why I could get Mr. Lu's essence.
That is to say... the white shadow I saw in the bath
was also Mrs. Yu?
Exactly.
I forced her to take the essence
but whenever she felt better she'd come to hinder me.
Left without any options, I had to seek victims down the mountain.
Who knew I would accidentally discover how Mr. Bai had schemed against me
for his own benefit?
In a fit of rage...
I attacked them all.
But I took in too much human essence
and my body couldn't take it anymore.
Mr. Bai also seemed to be protected by a talisman
so I had to leave him
and rush back to the villa. I was too badly injured
and lost consciousness when I got to my room.
It wasn't until I woke up that I knew
my wife had gone down the mountain to drive you out of the villa.
Stay here then.
She messed up my plans yet again.
Mr. Bai was too scared to buy the villa.
So I had to do a little act to make you think
that the monster had been killed.
No wonder right after that green snake showed its form
the monster's energy completely vanished.
That was actually your decoy.
You're right.
Since then, I moved the victims from the pond back to the villa
to wipe out all traces.
That was to get back to my original plan.
After the villa was sold
I hadn't planned on doing anything.
When more people come here to work on the villa
I could then take away their essence.
In order to stop her from stirring up any trouble
I put my foot down and created a supernatural barrier in the room.
But I didn't expect her to be so reluctant about staying alive
and so eager to leave me.
She'd rather endure the pain to break through the barrier.
I saw that she was about to break her soul to pieces
so I couldn't think straight anymore.
Therefore you lured me away
to lay hands on Yue Ya.
But little did you expect your wife to go all out to protect Yue Ya.
I don't understand.
I don't understand why.
I was willing to sacrifice everything for her
and give all that I have
but she still insisted on leaving me.
But you don't understand her efforts either.
You were willing to give all that you have for her
but is that what she wanted?
She left you to stop you from hurting yourself and others.
How could you not understand?
I was too willful and obstinate.
I turned love into resentment.
She was unwilling to pledge her love to me in her next life.
I regret it so much now.
But this is all too late.
Aren't you very powerful?
You can revive those men.
If you can save them
your wife will be pleased in the underworld.
Don't worry.
I know what I should do.
Mr. Yu is actually very pitiful as well.
One has to pay for one's sins.
Those who are pitiful must have a cause for having sunk to their lowest.
You're injured!
You'll need to apply some lotion.
I'm all right. It's just a small wound.
It still needs to be treated!
I was in a panic so I didn't look at it clearly until now. What if it's serious?
Let me take a look!
What is this?
It's just a small wound.
But... But there was blood.
It was just a scratch.
Besides, I've always recovered a lot faster than others since I was a child.
That's why it's healed now.
Are you really all right?
I really am fine.
Look.
I can move about easily.
All right.
You don't have to do this to prove you recover very quickly. Are you a fool?
I'm no fool.
I know who is good to me.
See, even if we were in a dream
you'd still be concerned about me.
You're worried that I might get hurt.
Yue Ya, I'm really happy.
Silly boy.
For the sins that I committed, allow me to pay with my life.
- Mr. Yu! - Mr. Yu!
I've already given them my internal vital energy.
In two hours they will regain consciousness.
All that has happened will seem like a dream to them.
What about you?
Me?
I've lost my internal vital energy
and all my years of practice.
Death is knocking on my door.
This is what I deserve.
I'm finally not ashamed to see my wife.
From now on, I'll never make my wife upset again.
What is going on?
What happened?
Where are we?
Lend me a hand.
Where is this place?
This is...
Let's go.
Yue Ya...
Yue Ya, what is the matter?
Tell me... Mr. Yu lived for so many years
but he probably didn't think that he would only enjoy happiness
for such a brief period.
Exactly.
Who would?
What about us?
We're just ordinary people.
We don't know any spells.
Even if we do, we can't use it to prolong our lives
with that of others like Mrs. Yu did.
Life and death is all within decades.
A lifetime goes by so quickly.
Don't you think that we should make the best of our good days
to live our lives as if a day were two days
and live it to the fullest?
That's why I refuse to keep waiting.
I'd like both of us to lead happy lives.
Then this lifetime won't go to waste.
Do you understand?
Yue Ya.
Will you marry me?
As long as we stay together
anything will do.
