In the daytime, the scholar Ning Caichen (played by Leslie Cheung) is on his way alone with a box on his back, and the steamed buns are so hard that they can break open stones. When they reached Guozhao County, Caichen checked the map and the compass, and continued on his way.
It was raining, Caichen's umbrella was broken and he got wet. Xiahou Swordsman chased after a few thieves to kill, then ate a steamed bun and gave one to Caichen. Caichen shivered, and when Xiahou left, he threw away the steamed buns, picked up the box and ran into the city.
Guobei Town There are many wanted criminals' reward notices posted in the city, and officers and soldiers will investigate when they see them. Ning Caichen, who was wet, was close to a spell booth, and eight spells were printed on his back.
Caichen went to an inn, not a hotel, but on behalf of Jibaozhai to collect the bill. The boss said that the person who collected the bill last time died on the way and told him not to collect it. Caichen took out the ledger, the handwriting was blurred by the rain, and the boss pushed him out the door shamelessly.
Caichen is no longer entangled, and asked the people next to him where can he sleep for free? The man said that he was going to Lanruo Temple, which was a gloomy ancient temple three and a half miles to the east. The people around were whispering, but none of them spoke out.
Caichen saw a picture of a beautiful woman washing her hair on the painting booth, but he had no money to buy it. The person who showed Caichen came to help him measure his body. It turned out that he also sold coffins. He said that the wild wolves in the forest in front of him had been hungry for a long time, and they would come out to eat people when it was dark.
Caichen lost his way in the woods hit the wall , the wild wolves really appeared at night, chasing after him. Caichen's lantern went out, and the wolves rushed up, but stopped in front of Lanruo Temple.

Yan Chixia said that Xiahou's intentions are not right, and his swordsmanship is fast and inaccurate. Caichen mediated in the middle, saying that the infinite love of the universe is eternal, and love is the most powerful weapon, and the two stopped just now. Xiahou left first.
Caichen said that he was staying at Lanruo Temple, but Yan Chixia only asked him if he was brave? There are very evil people here, and you can get sick if you don't get scared to death. Yan Chixia told him to leave immediately, otherwise no amount of love could save him, so she threw herself away.
Caichen entered the guest room of Lanruo Temple. Xiaoqian appeared, but did not make a move. Caichen lit the oil lamp and made the bed, but saw a pool of blood in the center of the bed. At this time, there were many mummified corpses lying on the roof of the guest room.
Xiahou cleaned up the sword wound by the river, looked up and saw the charming Xiaoqian washing her hair in the river, happily dragged her ashore, crawled on Xiaoqian and worked hard. Xiaoqian swayed the bell and the wind was blowing, and Yan Chixia also noticed it.
Caichen accidentally pricked his finger when closing the window, and the mummified corpses on the roof opened their eyes when they smelled the blood, and sat up.
Xiaoqian saw the tree demon grandma (Liu Zhaoming) coming, so she got up and left Xiahou. Xiahou was about to draw his sword, but it was too late, and was sucked into a mummified corpse by his grandmother, and Xiaoqian couldn't bear to cry.
Yan Chixia came to Xiahou's body and was about to be buried when the mummified body suddenly deceived it. Yan Chixia burned the mummy with nails and spells.
Caichen read a book while cutting fruit, and the mummy on the roof crawled and peeped. Caichen heard a sound, and raised the fruit knife to the ladder to check, but heard the sound of piano and singing in the distance, and climbed down again.
Caichen followed the sound of the piano to the trestle bridge in the middle of the water, where Xiaoqian played the guqin . Yan Chixia knew that the fairies had come out again, but thought that Caichen had rushed over.
Caichen didn't know that Xiaoqian was a ghost, and when he turned around, he inadvertently revealed the spell behind him, causing Xiaoqian to turn pale in shock. Xiaoqian deliberately let the veil fall off her body, Caichen accidentally fell into the water while helping her pick up the veil, and the spell disappeared.
Caichen saw Xiaoqian's pale face and cold hands and feet, and suspected that she was sick and should see a doctor. Xiaoqian showed weakness several times and tried to throw herself into Caichen's arms, but was pushed away. Xiaoqian blows her demonic energy and fascinates Caichen.
Yan Chixia arrived, Xiaoqian fled in a hurry, Caichen fell into the water again and woke up. Caichen couldn't find Xiaoqian, so he took her qin and looked everywhere, followed by Yan Chixia.
Caichen found Xiaoqian in the woods, accidentally fell and touched her chest. A cobra appears, Caichen's hero saves the United States, but is saved by the United States. Xiaoqian said that Yan Chixia was the bad guy, Caichen returned the qin to Xiaoqian, and said that he would lead Yan Chixia away, let her take the opportunity to escape, and also asked Xiaoqian to see you tomorrow night.
Caichen imitated the sound of animals and attracted Yan Chixia. Xiaoqian hid in the tree and watched everything, secretly rejoicing. Yan Chixia suddenly found Xiaoqian, and while chasing, she threw out the nails, and her grandmother blocked it for her.
Grandma and Yan Chixia have known each other for a long time. They originally agreed not to interfere with each other, but Yan Chixia did not let her grandma kill a good person in vain. Caichen saw the note Xiaoqian left for him, telling him not to come to her again. Caichen dropped the note, not intending to do so.
Yan Chixia came to Caichen and asked him if he encountered anything weird last night? And he said that there is a ghost here and let him go. Cai Chen didn't believe it, but at this time the second half of the clothes had been torn away by the mummified corpses.
Caichen took out the wet ledger and filled in the number himself. The inkstone fell downstairs, he moved the ladder to pick it up, and passed by the mummies several times. Caichen pushed open the window, and the sun shone through and killed all the mummified corpses.
Caichen returned from Lanruo Temple unharmed, and went to the innkeeper to ask for the debt. What he wrote casually was seventy-two silver , and the boss was so frightened that he paid in full.
Mid-Yuan Festival , Taoist scatters paper money for the dead. Caichen saw Xiaoqian holding the picture scroll in the crowd, so he shouted loudly. The surrounding people only saw a group of paper figurines, and when they saw Caichen like this, they called out to hell.
Caichen brought enough money this time, and came to the painting booth to buy the picture of the beauty washing her hair. The boss searched and couldn't find it, and asked him to pick it up tomorrow.
Caichen went to the woods to look for Xiaoqian again, fearing that he would meet the wolves again and played three lanterns this time. Xiaoqian hangs the wolves up, and imitates the wolf howls to tease him.
Xiaoqian's boudoir is behind Lanruo Temple, she plays the guqin and invites Caichen to come. Caichen said that he was leaving tomorrow, and he came here today to say goodbye. Someone came, Xiaoqian pressed Caichen into the bathtub. At this time, the picture of the beauty washing her hair was hanging in Xiaoqian's room.
came from Xiaoqian's junior sister, Xiaoqing, and the tree demon's grandma. Grandma slapped Xiaoqian with a slap. It turned out that she found the note Xiaoqian left to Caichen. Grandma beat Xiaoqian with a whip, Caichen hid in the bathtub water and didn't dare to make a sound.
Caichen stuck his head out for air. Xiaoqian pressed his head down and covered it with a white cloth, so Xiaoqing found the clue. My grandmother said that Xiaoqian had been betrothed to , the old demon from Montenegro, , and that she would leave in three days. Xiaoqian wants to try on the red wedding dress, and takes the opportunity to pull away the suspicious Xiaoqing.
The grandmother smelled the smell of a living person and walked to the bathtub, Xiaoqian tore her wedding dress to divert her attention; Xiaoqing wanted to come to the bathtub to visit, but Xiaoqian splashed her clothes twice; Caichen raised her head to breathe, and Xiaoqian covered it with her wedding dress Ketone body; the maid came to change Xiaoqian's clothes, Xiaoqian kissed Caichen's mouth and hid in the bathtub water.
grandma wants to eat live that night, Xiaoqian and Xiaoqing both agreed. After grandma left, Xiaoqing turned back to see if Xiaoqian was hiding someone. Xiaoqian took off her clothes and got into the bathtub to shield Caichen. After some extreme pulling, Xiaoqian sent Caichen away safely.
Caichen came to the Zhanqiao Pavilion, and Xiaoqian arrived later, and gave her a picture of the beauty washing her hair. It turned out that Xiaoqian's father invited someone to paint it a year ago, and the person in the painting was Xiaoqian. Only when it comes to the Zhongyuan Ghost Festival will Xiaoqian have the opportunity to get the painting back.
Xiaoqian said that she had been betrothed to someone else, and seeing the painting was like seeing her, but Caichen insisted on taking her away. When the rooster crowed, it was dawn, and Xiaoqian assumed that Caichen was a poor boy who was not worthy of her. If he didn't leave, he would be arrested. Caichen left disappointed, but also threw down the painting, Xiaoqian burst into tears. The owner of the
painting booth told Caichen that the painting could not be found, that the woman in the painting had been dead for more than a year, and recommended other paintings to him. Caichen said that he had seen the person in the painting, but he felt that the world was ruthless.
Caichen saw Liu Yidao's wanted order, and the bearded image seemed to be Yan Chixia. Immediately concerned about Xiaoqian's safety, he grabbed a horse and turned back to Lanruo Temple.
Yan Chixia sang "Dao" and practiced the exercises alone. Xiaoqian seduces the man to have sex again, shakes the bell, and asks her grandmother to eat.
Caichen found Xiaoqian in the woods, Xiaoqian pulled him down to avoid Yan Chixia, and then went to the small pavilion to avoid the rain. Caichen came back specially to save Xiaoqian this time, and missed Xiaoqian too. Xiaoqian kissed Caichen with tears in her eyes, made love to him lingeringly, and deliberately took off the bell.
Caichen shook his foot bell after the incident, and Yan Chixia saw the big bell in front of the temple rang in response. After Xiaoqian knew that the signal was sentGrandma will be here soon, tell Caichen to go quickly, or go to Yan Chixia to avoid her life, in short, don't follow yourself, and then run away.
Caichen saw a woman in the woods and thought it was Xiaoqian, but it was Xiaoqing. The moment Xiaoqing pounced on Caichen, she was knocked away by Xiaoqian. Xiaoqing wanted to go up again, but was cut off by Yan Chixia who came over. Headless Xiaoqing still wanted to escape, but was struck and exploded by Yan Chi's palm.
Caichen saw that he was killed, so he dragged Xiaoqian onto the horse and went to report to the official. Xiaoqian left the painting to Caichen and left alone. Caichen arrives at the gate of Guobei county government office and beats the drums desperately.
Caichen reported that he saw Liu Yidao, the murderer, and the master told the magistrate that Liu Yidao was a serious offender in the court, but he was arrested three hours ago. In order to collect money, the magistrate ordered the staff to scold the ministers, and Yan Chixia flew to rescue him. Liu Yidao from the
prison was also brought in, while Yan Chixia had fewer scars and was mistaken by Caichen. Caichen still accused Yan Chixia of killing someone, and Yan Chixia defended that he did not kill anyone. The magistrate asked for bribes, but Caichen had no money, so the magistrate said he could steal and rob.
The county official asked where is the murder scene? Caichen said that in Lanruo Temple, everyone backed away in shock. Yan Chixia said that it was a female ghost who died, and the boudoir of Xiaoqian that Caichen saw was actually a mass grave. Seeing that it was not a human case, the magistrate quickly withdrew from the court.
Yan Chixia brought Caichen to the mass grave, and the location of Xiaoqian's boudoir was Nie Xiaoqian's tombstone. Yan Chixia asked Caichen to stay to attract the female ghost, and left him the Fa bell and the Diamond Sutra. Yan Chixia planned to completely eliminate the female ghost to act for the sky, and then hid in a tree and waited.
Caichen hid in the Lanruo Temple guest room, trembling with fear, but Xiaoqian really came to him. Caichen asked if she was a ghost? She said yes. She also admitted that the people in the ancient temple were trapped and killed by her. Caichen was so frightened that he opened the Diamond Sutra and took a look at Xiaoqian.
Xiaoqian expressed her difficulties: she was born in a family of officials, she was killed on the road by a traitor, and her bones were buried under an old tree. The grandmother was originally a thousand-year-old tree demon. After controlling her corpse, she used her to seduce lecherous men and absorb yang energy. Now it has been sold to the old demon of Montenegro.
Xiaoqian said with tears in his eyes, Caichen took Xiaoqian's hand, but never rang the bell. Caichen wants to save Xiaoqian and send her ashes back to the countryside for burial before the day after tomorrow, so that she has a chance to be reincarnated. Caichen thought that Yan Chixia was coming soon, and asked Xiaoqian to leave quickly.
's grandmother no longer trusts Xiaoqian and goes out to arrest Caichen in person. Grandma's tongue surrounded the whole room, Caichen used the Diamond Sutra but accidentally hurt Xiaoqian. Xiaoqian turned into a female ghost in white, fighting with her grandmother's tongue, but was entangled by her grandmother.
Xiaoqian threw out the white belt and told Caichen to follow her, without looking back. When Caichen covered his ears and ran forward, he kept hearing Xiaoqian calling him, and finally couldn't help but turn his head, and was instantly locked by his grandma with a branch.

Grandma used her tongue to wrap Yan Chixia after escaping, and the Xuanyuan sword fell to the ground. Caichen pulled out the nails to save Xiaoqian, and Yan Chixia stabbed her grandma's tongue with the nails, picked up the Xuanyuan sword and cut off her little tongue. Caichen asked Yan Chixia to escort Xiaoqian's ashes back to her hometown of Qinghua County.
Caichen and Yan Chixia dug up Xiaoqian's grave, found five urn and took them away together. It was getting dark and the two of them ran all the way, but they were always wandering in the woods, and Yan Chixia shot a few arrows before they could identify the direction. The two of
came to an inn, deserted. Caichen took out all the golden pagodas and asked if Xiaoqian was there? As a result, four female ghosts came out, and Yan Chixia asked them to take their ashes and go away, and they were not allowed to harm anyone in the future. The last one was Xiaoqian, and Yan Chixia left the two of them a chance to be alone.
Yan Chixia felt demonic. She opened her eyes and saw that there was a ghost covered bridge with red silk and satin outside the inn.
Yan Chixia immediately ordered Caichen and Xiaoqian to pack up and leave. She took the golden pagoda but forgot to take the painting, and Xiaoqian was sucked back. Today is the auspicious day of the underworld, and the old demon of Montenegro gets married. Yan Chixia took Caichen to use a stick of incense to go to the underworld to grab a relative.
Yan Chixia asked Caichen to close his eyes and went into the underworld. Seeing Ling Luo's umbrella canopy's marriage team, and Xiao Qian, who was wearing a red dress with her hands tied. People in the world can't see ghosts, and ghosts can't see people in the underworld. Yan Chixia burned the spell and stuffed it into Caichen's mouth so that Xiaoqian could see it.
Montenegro's old demon team was huge, and Yan Chixia and Caichen were not rivals for a while. Yan Chixia gave the Xuanyuan Sword to Caichen and bit it herself.Broken fingers resorted to palm thunder. Caichen cut off Xiaoqian's chains, and Xiaoqian took Caichen to fly away.
Yan Chixia ran out of mana and took over Xuanyuan Sword to defeat the crowd. A monster shifted position and hit Yan Chixia's arm with an axe; Yan Chixia pulled a bow and arrow with one hand and one foot, and the opponent was hit by a magic arrow and exploded.
The old demon from Montenegro appeared. Yan Chixia and Caichen became distracted when they recited the Vajra Mantra. The old demon of Montenegro wants Xiaoqian to break the golden pagoda and accompany him forever in the city of death.
Xiaoqian grabbed the Xuanyuan sword and stabbed the old demon in Montenegro, who turned into ten thousand heads and bit Xiaoqian. Yan Chixia and Caichen were entangled by their grandma's tongue. At the critical moment, it was the Diamond Sutra that saved everyone. Page after page of scriptures became a spell, and the monsters posted on them exploded.
Caichen and Yan Chixia returned to the world, the rooster crowed and it was dawn, and Xiaoqian was also pulled up, but she couldn't be exposed to the sun, otherwise her soul would be scattered and she would not be able to reincarnate. After Xiaoqian and Caichen parted, they returned to the Golden Pagoda. Caichen and Yan Chixia burned paper in front of Xiaoqian's grave to say goodbye and set off towards Qinghua County.
