The story takes place in the late Ming and early Qing dynasties, but it was a time of chaos in the world. In order to offer rewards, local gangsters arrested people at will on the street.
The poor scholar Ning Caichen Because of the compulsion of life, he helps people to collect bills to make a living. He was kicked out by the shopkeeper.
In those days, the rich were the uncles, and the poor were nothing. It was as if he saw a painting at the market. This painting was the painting of 's "girl ghost Nie Xiaoqian" before her death, I thought Everything is fate. But because he had no money, he was ridiculed by the boss who sold the paintings: "has high taste and low status." complex and sinister, but there is good in him, which changes his life.
Penniless Ning Caichen had to ask passers-by if there was a free place to stay, so there was a very meaningful encounter.
"Where can I get free accommodation?"
"You don't need to pay for accommodation, go to Lanruo Temple."
"Where is Lanruo Temple?"
"Lanruo Temple? Three and a half miles east of here, there is a very eerie The ancient temple is here."
A story about a ghostly love that has not yet come to fruition is blooming in "Lanruo Temple." . Over time, it has become a place where demons and ghosts live, and all those who spend the night there have nowhere to go.
At the same time, there lived a chivalrous Taoist priest "Yan Chixia" . He used to be a hot judge in the 26 provinces of Guandong and Guangxi. He hated corrupt officials the most in his life, but he was in power because of traitors , forced to withdraw from the arena.
He looks fierce, but his heart is warm and pure. Therefore, here "Lanruo Temple" quakes evil spirits and silently protects kind people.
Nie Xiaoqian, who was beautiful and beautiful, came from a family of officials, but died on the road because of being murdered by an adulterer. Her father temporarily buried her bones under an old tree. Unexpectedly, her father was also killed. . The thousand-year-old tree demon controlled Xiaoqian's corpse and made her do evil for it, so she had to hurt others.
her and his story blossomed on the border of "kindness" .
When Ning Caichen met Nie Xiaoqian for the first time, he was attracted by the beautiful and beautiful sound of the piano. The sound of the piano was lingering, the lake water pavilion with rippling water and light, the lights were beautiful, and the picture of a beautiful woman playing the piano was really pleasing to the eye.
The two of them looked at each other, Nie Xiaoqian's eyes were rolling, her smile was slightly, her white clothes were plain, it was fascinating. At this time, Ning Caichen, in ragged clothes, holding a knife, with a bookish look on his face, couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed. When
met for the first time, they were picturesque, talented and beautiful, and they didn't mean to offend at all, which made Nie Xiaoqian have a different view of Ning Caichen.
obviously can't swim, so in order to help her pick up silk handkerchiefs, she jumped into the lake without hesitation to pick it up; obviously she has no martial arts skills, and in order to protect her, she risked her life to lead the "Yan Chixia" alone; Even though he was afraid of snakes, he still stood in front of her to prevent her from being hurt.
"What's your name?"
"Ning Caichen, what about you?"
"Nie Xiaoqian."
At this moment, Xiaoqian's heart moved with compassion, and she was warmed by the kind young man in front of her , so I left her a "silk letter": "You are a good person, don't come to me again."
She didn't want to hurt him because she knew he was a good guy. I think maybe, in that era, most people lived for their own interests, whether they were humans or ghosts.
There is a scene in the video. Ning Caichen completed the account book at the temple, and returned to "Guoping County" to collect the account. Just as he was about to leave, he saw the funeral procession of the dead, and a small corpse appeared. Qian's figure. In fact, it reflects that Xiaoqian is not a human being, but a ghost.
When Yan Chixia first told Ning Caichen that there were ghosts in the temple, he was convinced, because the "ghosts" he encountered didn't hurt him.
The second time Ning Caichen went to the appointment, Nie Xiaoqian turned against him because she was afraid that the tree demon grandma would hurt him, and said heartless words to make him dispel his thoughts.
——"You poor boy, stop delusional, you are interested in my rich family, I have seen people like you a lot, and I will not be fooled by you."
Qing Deng Guting, the scholar is interested, Beautiful people have feelings, people and ghosts have different paths, they can't fall in love, they can't fall in love.
After that, Ning Caichen left angrily. On the road, he met the boss who sold paintings. The boss said to him: "Sir, the painting of the beauty washing her hair can no longer be found, so let's change it."
He To the boss who sold the paintings: "I have seen the person in the painting, she is too ruthless."
"She has been dead for more than a year, forget her!"
"You don't need to curse her to die, then Heartless."
...
Even though Xiaoqian broke his heart, he still protected her.
Then, when he saw the portrait of the wanted criminal, he mistakenly thought it was Yan Chixia, so he rode alone to save her. This sincere heart completely moved Nie Xiaoqian. The beauty
opened her lips and asked softly: "Are you really coming back to save me?"
The young man lowered his head and whispered shyly: "Yeah." Water, after the spring rain, the love is stronger, all the previous experiences have become precious, hugging each other, silence is better than sound.
"I'm not a person" , and the distance between them was suddenly opened.
This is the third person who told him that "has ghosts" in this world, but the sincere young man still didn't want to believe it. He wanted to save her, so he went to the yamen to report to the official, which proved that "yamen" 's official The adults are the ghosts who are full of personal pockets and are greedy for life and fear of death.
Open and closed are all silver, for Ning Caichen, he has the heart to bribe, but he can't take out the slightest.
By the time Yan Chixia arrives, all misunderstandings will be resolved. And Yan Chixia told him again that Xiaoqian and the others were all "ghosts" , which made Ning Caichen have to believe that everything was clear when he recalled what happened before.
"Why do you have to leave when it's dawn."
"Why, we can only meet at night."
"Why, she will do it lightly." After signing the cooperation agreement, he came to "Lanruo Temple" again, but "fear" was born in his heart. Holding the bell, I read "Diamond Sutra" in my heart, and the sentence "Prajna Paramita" in my mouth shivered slightly.
When Ning Caichen saw Xiaoqian again, he instinctively retreated, this retreat, with a touch of affection, with coolness, Xiaoqian looked at him tearfully and said: "Why do you still Come back, grandma already knows you are here."
And Ning Caichen looked at her with fearful eyes and said: "You really arethe ghost? "
Obviously, he wanted to confirm it again, he always believed in this beautiful woman, not the "evil ghost" people said, but then Xiaoqian's words made him completely let go of his guard and treat her Even more pity, desperate to save her for this.
"You think ghosts are scary, but people are actually scarier, and sometimes people are more cruel than ghosts? And some ghosts, because their grievances have not been cleared, cannot be reincarnated as human beings, so they are displaced. In fact, some ghosts are much kinder than humans. "
" I came from an aristocratic family and was murdered by an adulterer. My father temporarily buried me under an old tree. Unexpectedly, he was also killed. My grandmother took control of my corpse, led men to her, and absorbed yang energy. , and now she betrothed me to Montenegro old demon . "
" I will definitely save you. "
" Then before the day after tomorrow, you must send my ashes to a family in the countryside for burial. This is my only chance to reincarnate. "
The old man "Yan Chixia" who can only play big swords, was moved by their love. Perhaps, in this troubled world, "true love" is the most scarce.
is like he said to himself: "I quit the rivers and lakes because I experienced the power and hypocrisy of the world, so I was hiding in the ruins of ancient temples, and in front of people, I regarded myself as a ghost, and in front of ghosts, I regarded myself as a human being, and now I am not a ghost. point. "
Obviously, this is the "finishing touch" of in the film, , some people wear "personal" , but do evil things, and some "ghosts" are not what people say "Evil Ghost" .
Although Ning Caichen and Nie Xiaoqian only had a short-lived beauty, this pure love is forever imprinted in their hearts, as beautiful and heart-warming as when they first met.
Dawn The arrival of Xiaoqian is about to be reincarnated, but she can't see the sun. Ning Caichen blocked the dawn with his body, so he couldn't see her for the last time.
"The sun is out, and I can't do it if I don't go. "
" Xiaoqian, you have to be a good person, I will always remember you. "
" I didn't expect to see you for the last time when we broke up, you have to take care. "
"Take care" , she said goodbye to this world, the kind of heart-piercing pain, as if her body was burning. Xiaoqian left, Ning Caichen burst into tears, how deep is the love? Xu is at the top of my heart.
is just like the verse they wrote in that painting: "The sky is full of frost on the ten-mile Pinghu Lake, and every inch of blue silk is sorrowful for the year. Looking at each other in the shape of the moon, I only envy the mandarin ducks and not the immortals. "
People and ghosts fall in love, how much is beautiful, how much is lost.
Tsui Hark sets the story in an era where people and ghosts are indistinguishable. Corrupt officials are rampant and robbery cases are frequent in the human world. The power of ordinary people is slick, and in the ghost world. Bullying, insidious and cunning, attacking jealousy and calculating. In this chaotic world,
can bring out the value of Ning Caichen and Nie Xiaoqian even more. Love has become a clear stream.
and this version of "A Chinese Ghost Story" has become a classic in most people's minds. In the world of grievances and grievances, there is a thing called "love" that blooms in romance.
