(Ghost Festival)
(Sze Ma Chi Chuen)
Go away.
Leave me alone.
Sze Ma Chi Chuen, are you all right?
Have a drink first.
Who are you, little girl?
You have a serious headache. Stop asking questions and drink.
Do you feel better now?
Do you know me?
I often see you here.
You suffer from a headache every time you come to this spot.
Yes, the hallucinations make me very uncomfortable.
You are in trouble, young man.
You often attract these things.
Of course you'd suffer from headaches.
But what is this drink?
It's powerful.
Not even the doctors could cure me.
How did you get rid of my hallucinations?
I've treated a lot of suffering young people,
but you're a particularly difficult person.
But you cured me with only one drink.
Why don't you teach me how to make it?
Then I won't be a difficult person anymore.
Okay.
Since fate brought you to me today,
I'll teach you.
Great. What should I do?
I have a friend called Wa Guong the Great.
Go and find him.
Wa Guong the Great?
Where can I find him?
That's up to you.
When it's the right time,
you will meet someone who will change your life.
You will have to choose wisely.
Sze Ma Chi Chuen, what are you doing here?
Are you trying to scare me to death, Sai Leung?
Hey!
Don't tell me you're trying to break in and steal things.
Keep it down!
It's the Ghost Month. Don't do that.
Don't be a chicken.
Are you scared?
You can stay here and wait for me.
I'll go in there by myself.
Chicken.
Play with me.
I'm busy.
- Play by yourself. - Play with me.
Play with me.
Play by yourself.
No one wants to play with me. Who will play with me?
I want you to play with me forever!
(Guai Sing)
(Lung Sing's Dit Da Shop)
Why didn't you listen to me?
You've been eating cold and raw food again.
Eat more then.
Next time, not even Hua Tuo can save you.
I'll give you medicine for a week this time.
Wait for me here.
Boss, Man.
Hey.
Boss, here is this month's payment.
Keep it safe.
Got it.
Bye, Man.
Bye, boss.
- Man, give him medicine for a week. - Got it.
Sing, it's almost time.
I still have a few patients left.
Can it wait?
I paid a lot of money. Can't you wait for a while?
Ying.
Boss, are you ready to go?
We're not in a hurry. You can finish smoking that.
I'm done.
(Pang Bak Chuen)
What is a real existence?
Is it what we see, hear or touch?
In fact, they're only messages sent to our brain.
Do those messages come from an entity...
or something else that stimulates the nervous system in the brain?
Is it possible that you, Mr. Pang, who is lecturing in front of us,
are merely a fabrication of my mind?
It's possible.
It's also possible that you and I are only a fabrication...
in Alice's mind.
If that is the case, then nothing truly exists, isn't it?
Does it mean that this self I'm seeing may not be real?
That's wrong.
Because I can not only see and hear things.
I can also think.
When I'm thinking about what is real and what isn't,
the me, who is thinking...
must really exist.
I think, therefore I am.
About the one who is thinking,
is it the soul?
That means the soul really exists.
Then let's go back to our first question.
After a person dies,
does the 21 grams of soul leave the body or disappear?
If it leaves the body,
but continues to think...
and no one can contact it...
Can you call that as existing?
On the other hand, if a body isn't dead,
but it's in a completely unconscious state and can't think,
does it really exist?
Is it really alive?
Do you understand?
Master, it’s time.
Okay, I'll come right over.
- Okay. - I packed the things for you.
Thank you, Chung.
Mr. Pang, why don't you come back and teach us?
We really want to attend your class.
Yes.
Philosophy doesn't have to be taught in a classroom.
Even Socrates used to ask questions in the square only.
(Psycho Detective 2)
Mr. Law, why are you so late?
The group has already left to invite the gods.
As long as I'm here in time to greet them when they arrive,
it'll be fine.
A Teocheow people indeed.
That looks particularly mighty.
We did very little.
We have to thank you for your financial support.
We're a community.
Temple Street's business is my business.
If you ever need anything, feel free to come to me.
Thank you, Mr. Law.
Also,
I just saw a flower basket from Wo Fat.
Is he mocking us?
No, he donated some rice for the free rice distribution.
That's very little rice. It's not enough.
Just wait.
I'll order 400 catties of rice for you tomorrow,
so that more people in the community can share the blessing.
Thank you, Mr. Law.
I'd like to thank you on behalf of the community.
I think they should be back soon from inviting the gods.
We can soon watch the Shengong opera, right?
Yes, soon, Mr. Law.
Mr. Pang, I didn't expect you to be here later than I am.
I was worried you wouldn't be here to lead us.
If I knew you and Hoi were here, I wouldn't have needed to come.
Hoi is only a child. He knows nothing.
He is nothing compared to you, Mr. Pang.
Please don't laugh at me.
I came with Sing because I wanted to learn from you, Mr. Pang.
Mr. Pang.
This year's effigy of the Ghost King is very mighty.
That's right.
Since Mr. Pang is here to take charge,
we have nothing to worry about. Let's go and watch the show.
Mr. Law.
Tonight's show is for the gods.
It's not open to the public yet.
What?
The public?
Do you know who I am?
I am the biggest sponsor.
But tonight...
I know what you want to say.
Tonight's show is for the ghosts.
My middle name, Guai, means ghost, which means this show is for me.
Wait.
Master.
Does he think that he is the most powerful man in Temple Street...
that even ghosts are afraid of him?
That's none of your business. Get to work.
Yes, Master.
Mr. Chan, Leader Ho, don't worry.
Let the ghosts fight him if they want to.
Seriously?
Mr. Pang, please don't scare me.
I was just kidding. It'll be fine.
As long as the ceremony and Shengong opera go well.
I think I better go backstage to check on things.
- I'll go with you. - Okay, let's go.
This is no ordinary body.
It's the Grand Supreme Elderly Lord.
Light of the sun and the moon is required for consecration.
Light of the sun and the moon will shine for millions of years.
This new altar has no walls.
The documents to travel to hell are prepared.
A sacred lamp and meal offerings are prepared.
Altar offerings are prepared.
This mantra is the invitation.
Talismans are sent to inform the offices in hell.
Let the dead be guided.
Await the gods with devoutness.
Welcome the messengers from hell to the Ghost Festival.
The four corners must be quiet.
Boss, are you really going in?
Sing, the level of yin energy is very high in there.
Your aura may be strong enough,
but I'm afraid we'll not be able to withstand it.
What's wrong with you two? Are you scared?
Stay here if you are.
I'm going in anyway.
I call on the Five Supreme Commanders of the Thunder Agency.
Master.
I think a ghost possessed his body.
Help him back to the shrine.
I'll have to cast another spell on him.
Yes, Master.
Master, how is he?
He is a little different from the others.
I'll have to wait until sunrise to know if it works.
