ONE MINUTE BEFORE THE GATE OF THE GHOSTS OPENS
Kuman Thong.
You have to help those
who seek help from you
to fulfill their wishes.
During the Ghost Month,
behave
and don't cause any trouble.
Stop crying!
The evil spirit has killed your mom!
Stop crying!
Stop crying, okay?
Stop crying!
Who's there?
Don't cry.
The evil spirit is gone.
Don't cry.
Please.
It's all right.
The evil spirit is gone.
THE GATE OF GHOSTS OPENS ON THE SEVENTH LUNAR MONTH
THE LONELY SPIRITS ROAM THE HUMAN REALM
RUMORS SAY THAT ON THE GHOST MONTH,
YOU SHOULDN'T LOOK IN THE MIRROR LATE AT NIGHT,
YOU SHOULDN'T DRY YOUR CLOTHES AT MIDNIGHT,
YOU SHOULDN'T HANG WIND BELLS,
YOU SHOULDN'T KEEP TOO MANY DOLLS IN YOUR HOUSE,
AND YOU SHOULDN'T PERFORM RITUALS
YIHWAYUAN TROUPE
Stay safe.
I wish you peace.
The two Yin and Yang realms of human and ghost
Full of traitors in this miserable world
As the ghost king, safeguard the gate
On this Yin and Yang road
Wait for me to come
Many thanks to you.
Thank you for coming all the way here from Taipei to help me.
I have no choice, but to trouble you.
-During the seventh lunar month, -Sir, I'd like an ice cream.
no one dares to perform Zhong Kui Makes His Sister's Marriage.
We are a family.
Before Gate of the Ghosts opens,
can't you get rid of all the curses of the Thai Demon?
There's nothing to worry about.
Speaking of performing the ritual,
I am getting too old to perform it.
I'm looking for a youngster to take over.
Your son performs quite well.
He's as good as you.
I heard you say
that he carries the heavenly mandate of Zhong Kui.
It would be best for him to take over.
I'm not going to let Kuan-yu become a Taoist Master.
-Captain. -No, thank you.
What's wrong?
My daughter died because I'm a Taoist Master.
I don't want my descendants to become Taoist Masters.
Now,
he's the only one I have left.
I just want him
to be safe and healthy.
He can be whatever he wants,
but not a Taoist Master.
What if he's the chosen one with a heavenly mandate?
We can't stop it from happening.
-Okay, ma'am, look after this. -Okay.
Let's go.
The burning amulets cover The mountains and seas
The master of Pear Garden Illuminates the heavens
A single talisman encompasses the universe
The Yin and Yang emissary descends
Magical armies, urgently as the law!
By my order
The heavenly drum resounds Throughout the heavens
The earthly drum shakes the earth
The human drum stirs up The Three Great Emperor-Officials
Live up to their reputation And subdue all evil spirits
Descend upon this altar
-This is Yu-Chih-Kuei PK. -What nonsense is this?
I'm sorry.
What are you guys doing?
Zhong Kui Opera is the source of all Zhong Kui.
Even if Zhong Kui is performed by an actor,
he still has the power to suppress all evil.
You
messed up the performance.
You need to be serious, okay?
How did I teach you the Zhong Kui steps?
This way.
After this step,
this is when all evil spirits can be suppressed.
Take three steps back.
But you messed up just now.
Once there was a person
who accidentally called out the actor's real identity,
the evil spirit realized he was not the real Zhong Kui.
In the end, he bled all over
and died on stage.
How many times have I warned you?
Okay.
Are you done yet?
I only did this because of you.
Do you understand what I'm saying?
Don't underestimate the evil!
Okay. Stop fighting.
Quarrels can bring curses too.
Young people are ignorant.
NORMAL BODY TEMPERATURE
See. Zhong Kui is upset.
-You keep fooling around. -Ching-ching.
Darn it.
-It is only a broken light bulb. -What's wrong?
-What are you talking about? -It's your fault! Why are you yelling?
-Okay. -Cut it out.
-Hurry. Bring the trash can. -Ching-ching!
So what now?
What should we do?
You go back first.
I will call you later.
Okay.
I am going now.
Okay.
Bring her down.
Tell Chia-min she is here.
Come here, Ching-ching.
Chia-min!
-Ching-ching. -Chia-min!
-Hurry up. -Be careful.
-Ching-ching. -Captain.
I don't want to!
I don't want to go inside!
-Grab her! -I don't want to go inside!
Hurry up!
-I don't want to! -Take her in!
Are you ready?
Her name is Hsu Ching-ching.
I am here to alleviate the curse.
Taoist Masters and Disciples.
Don't accept another soul.
Bring back Hsu Ching-ching.
All souls return now.
All primordial spirits return to their original positions.
All evil spirits, swiftly depart 1,000 miles away.
Urgently go as the law.
Ching-ching.
-Not again. -Captain.
How is she?
She seems fine.
Thank goodness.
Thank you, Zhong Kui.
Thank you.
Young people are ignorant.
Thank you for your help.
Why didn't you save me?
-Use the whip. -Okay.
Why didn't you save me?
Go away.
THOSE WHO PERISH SHALL BECOME SHACKLES OF THIS REALM
You…
Ching-ching!
Ching-ching.
-Ching-ching. -Take her away!
Hurry up!
Hurry up.
Ching-ching.
Are you okay?
Did you see that?
That is what happens when you fool around.
Why didn't you save me?
Kuan-ling!
Here.
This protection charm is for you.
It's for your safety.
Kneel in front of the deity
and tell Zhong Kui that you're sorry.
What now?
You carry the heavenly mandate.
You should be more compassionate than the others.
You let Ching-ching
get cursed.
How am I supposed to explain to her parents?
How many times have I told you?
Treat every member just like our family.
No one will hurt their own family
just for fun like you.
So do you have proof
that it will make me prosperous or protect my family?
Anyway, when I make enough money,
I will move out of here
in case I curse you.
Is that fair enough?
You brat.
What are you talking about?
I am sorry, Zhong Kui.
MEIHUANG HOTEL
Jui-jui.
There's a blackout and you are still playing ball.
Did you drink your milk?
You're very naughty.
Stop playing. You are going to disturb other people.
Jui-jui.
Don't play ball in the hallway.
All right?
Room 621?
Mr. Wu.
Is that you, Mr. Wu?
Mr. Wu.
Are you okay? Do you need help?
Mr. Wu.
That's odd.
Mr.--
Mr. Wu?
Are you okay, Mr. Wu?
Mr. Wu?
I'm sorry. Excuse us.
We're just doing our official duties.
What happened?
From the sixth floor.
Did he hang himself?
I told you something bad is going to happen.
MEIHUANG HOTEL
Sir, I bought drinks.
Let's go.
Not now.
Look, that's a body bag.
That's someone else's business. Don't be afraid.
If you are afraid,
-just don't look. Cover your eyes. -Okay.
-Is it over? -Don't look.
-It's over. -Okay.
Which floor is it?
-Sixth floor. -Sixth floor?
Is there an elevator?
No.
That will make me go soft.
It doesn't matter if you're soft now.
Later, I will make you
hard and strong.
I meant my legs.
I told you so.
There must be something wrong.
Let me tell you.
I will not refund your money.
It's impossible for you to come and make up for this another day.
You will need to pay again.
Understood?
Wan-hua.
The Gate of the Ghosts has just opened and this already happened.
Who is he?
He was only here for a few days.
The police said
his wife hanged herself last week.
His child also died from hunger.
Maybe he was devastated so he came here.
How brave of you to accept this kind of customer.
What am I supposed to do?
It just happened.
If you are afraid,
you can just move out for a few days.
I know no one does this on the seventh lunar month.
But now we encounter such a thing.
What can we do?
Gosh, please.
Help me out.
Hello?
What the hell?
Hey.
Is the door fixed?
Yes.
My goodness. This hanging is really terrifying.
We found so many Taoist Masters and no one wants to take this job.
Don't you know the Thai Master?
That blind grandma with only one eye.
Does she know how to perform the Rope Ritual?
There's no such thing in Thailand.
Go ask her about it.
I was thinking.
At most, I won't let anyone stay in that room.
No way.
At least use the Yin and Yang water to purify the room
or put up some amulets in the room.
KEY STORAGE AREA
Okay.
I am going out now.
-Wan-hua. -If Chun-nan calls, say I am not here.
Don't think I am overreacting.
I'm doing it for your own good.
I can see your complexion is getting worse.
Sometimes you don't respond either.
Let me call Kuei-tsai.
I'll tell him to come clean up soon.
I'm going to look for temples to get some amulets.
You can only take care of your room. Don't put it in other rooms.
Okay. I'll only put up in my room.
Okay.
KEY STORAGE AREA
Hello, this is Meihuang Hotel.
She's not here.
Do you want to leave a message?
Wait a second.
Let me take note of it.
It went viral!
-The video went viral! -Look.
My amazing rap and good editing
fused with Zhong Kui and parkour
was such a great idea.
Don't you agree?
I told you so.
Look closer.
What's with that attitude?
My goodness.
I SAW A GHOST
There's a ghost in the video.
People are more interested in the ghost.
YU-CHIH-KUEI PK PAYS RESPECT!
There is really a shadow.
Take a look.
Here.
Bodhisattva.
Amitabha.
I'm sorry.
-You are an idiot. -It was an accident.
-I'm sorry. -It must be the camera angle.
It's only a shadow.
Don't talk like that on the seventh lunar month.
What are you talking about?
I know you don't believe it.
It is what it is.
Let's go.
Let's go practice.
That's fast.
Kuan-yu. Wait.
There's a phone call.
Hello.
-Kuei-tsai. -What is it, Aunt?
Can you come here early today?
Go to the hotel early?
But I'm filming a parkour with Kuan-yu.
Today is a special day.
Anyway, just come earlier.
I can pay you more money.
How much more to be clear?
I know. I talked to the boss.
You'll get 2,000 dollars extra. Is that okay?
Yes, bye.
I'm sorry, Kuan-yu.
-It's fine. Just go. -Then I…
Making money is more important.
Or do you want to go with me?
Don't you want to make money and move out?
Okay, don't think too much.
Let's go.
Hey, ma'am.
How come you are here today?
I just went to the market
and wanted to bring you some fruits.
How's my godson?
Well…
These days,
he's not feeling well
and doesn't really drink milk.
Children are unstable.
He will be fine.
DO NOT BE TOO CALCULATIVE
Are there any Taoism item
or amulets at home?
None of the above.
That's the best.
The kid's primordial spirit is weak.
If he is injured,
his spirit will be unstable.
Don't forget.
Never let him eat meat.
Here we are.
This is the one.
Let me find a parking spot.
Across the street.
MEIHUANG HOTEL
I knew I shouldn't have come with you.
Damn, I'm exhausted.
Fine, I will pay you more.
Whatever.
Aunt, we're here!
The key is over here.
Don't forget to sprinkle salt and rice around the room.
Burn the amulet
and put it in the water.
Then use the mugwort.
Fling it around the entire room.
Fling it like this.
Understood?
-What's this for? -Here. A red envelope.
Here, it's for good fortune.
Here.
What's with the red envelopes?
Did you not tell them?
Someone hanged himself in this room.
What the hell!
Aunt, you should have told us first.
Then I won't come to clean.
-Come on, keep it down! -I'm leaving.
-Come back here at once. -I don't care. I'm leaving.
-Stay right there! -Bye.
Wait!
Nothing will happen.
I will give you more amulets to carry.
What are you afraid of?
You little…
It's all right.
I will clean the room.
Kuan-yu.
I don't believe in those things.
Thank goodness.
Thank you for the help.
Also, help me take down the rope.
Aunt.
You need a master to take down the rope.
Otherwise, we will be cursed.
Shut your mouth.
My goodness.
I am getting my amulet.
So…
Clean the bed sheets and bring them to me in room 665.
Thank you again.
Mom!
Are you done?
I'm hungry.
Ma'am.
Is your son calling you?
I'm going now.
What are you looking at?
This is too exciting.
Kuei-tsai, check this out.
No, I am not cleaning anymore.
Hey.
What's that smell? It's so stinky.
Chia-min, do you want to take an extra day off?
After the exam, you can stay in Taipei.
It's okay.
I'll be back after the exam.
Only one more day.
Also, don't worry about your aunt.
She will be fine.
Be careful.
Okay.
Why is no one picking up?
CHIA-WEI
Thank you for your help.
It's okay. Get in first.
LEARN
You scared me.
Mom.
Can you play ball with me?
I'm busy.
I'll play with you when I'm done.
We'll play later.
You are naughty.
I'll take this to Ms. Wan-hua.
What did you say?
Kuan-yu.
-What is it? -Where?
I'll take this to Ms. Wan-hua.
Okay. Hurry and go.
Come back quickly.
Okay.
Make the bed quickly.
Okay.
Room 665.
PURIFICATION TALISMAN
That's odd.
Where is Ms. Wan-hua?
Hurry, put it down.
Ma'am.
I brought the bed sheets.
Wait.
Ma'am.
I told you to wait.
Okay.
Okay, that's enough.
Ma'am.
Where do I put this?
Right here.
Thank you.
What's this?
It's under the bed in Room 621.
It stinks.
Didn't I tell you to stop playing?
Do you see it?
Hi, everyone. I'm Kuei-tsai.
Kuan-yu is not here right now.
In the hotel I am at,
someone hanged himself a few days ago.
I'm scared so I am broadcasting live now to have you accompany me.
All right?
IT HAS BEEN A WHILE. CUT THE CRAP. JUST GO IN.
What? Do you want me to go in?
Are you crazy?
STOP WASTING TIME. JUST GO IN! MAYBE THERE'S NOTHING INSIDE.
Promise me you will share this livestream.
Let the number of viewers spike, okay?
Remember to like Yu-Chih-Kuei PK.
Okay, I am going in now
just for you.
First, we go in.
DON'T BE SCARED.
People say the corner room is the most cursed place.
That's why I am shivering.
IT DOESN'T LOOK SCARY. DID SOMETHING HAPPEN?
Look, it's dark inside.
The entire room is empty.
ARE YOU REALLY AFRAID OR FAKING IT?
DON'T BE AFRAID! THIS WILL BRING IN THE VIEWERS
HEY! I SAW SOMETHING!
Did you see something move?
I REALLY SAW SOMETHING
Never mind.
MAN UP. DON'T BE SCARED
Look at the floor.
GO AND OPEN THAT CUPBOARD!
I don't know what it means.
It's written everywhere.
Do you know?
THE VIDEO IS TOO SHAKY
It's Thai inscriptions.
DOES ANYONE UNDERSTAND THIS?
Something stinks in here.
SEE IF THERE'S ANY BLOOD STAINS
Can you all smell it?
What the hell?
YOU SHOULD LEAVE NOW
I hear something.
I swear. There's really something.
MAYBE YOU'RE THE ONLY ONE HEARING IT
What the hell?
MAYBE IT'S THE WIND
The hanging rope
is right next to me.
It's above my head.
COME ON, SHOW US THE HANGING ROPE
Okay, we'll stop here.
Just here.
KEEP GOING IN
There's no need.
This is enough.
DIDN'T THE MASTER PERFORM A RITUAL? WHY IS THE ROPE STILL THERE?
Okay, that's enough.
I'm heading out.
Go in further?
DID SOMEONE COME IN WITH YOU?
DID SOMEONE HANG THEMSELF THERE?
Look.
Just now,
my aunt gave me this mugwort,
amulet water, rice, and salt.
Yes, to dispel evil.
To purify this room.
LEAVE QUICKLY!
Look at the side.
Look at this mirror.
GET OUT OF THERE NOW!
It's totally different than before.
I HEARD YOU CAN'T LOOK IN A MIRROR ON THE SEVENTH LUNAR MONTH
What? Can't you look in the mirror on Ghost Day?
Damn it. You're right.
Damn, it will be okay.
Shu-yi!
No!
Shu-yi!
Don't do it. What were you thinking?
Shu-yi!
Help…
Be quiet.
Damn!
No way.
Why me?
Go away.
Go.
Don't come near me.
Hey.
Hey, it's me.
Damn it.
Don't do that.
Why are you standing over there?
You are giving me a heart attack.
Don't do that.
Didn't I tell you to make the bed?
What were you doing?
No.
Don't take it down!
You can't look in the mirror on Ghost Day.
It's the modern world. You're superstitious just like my dad.
If I could see ghosts, I would want to be the first.
-I want to see my sister. -Don't touch it!
Kuan-yu.
Kuan-yu, where are you?
Kuan-yu.
Make the bed now.
Make--
Why is this here? Didn't I give it to Ms. Wan-hua?
Stop fooling around.
There's no smell at all.
Maybe it has the same pattern.
Hurry up and make the bed.
I'll clean the bathroom.
Kuan-yu.
What were you doing with the selfie stick?
Stop playing around.
-Make the bed. -Kuan-yu.
Kuan-yu.
Kuei-tsai.
Hurry and make the bed. Kuei-tsai.
Kuan-yu!
He leaves the scariest thing to me.
Really!
Kuan-yu.
There really is a ghost.
PRICE, ACCOMMODATION, 3,000 DOLLARS
You punk.
Don't be lazy.
DAD
DECLINE
Why did the censer catch fire?
Kuei-tsai.
Open the door.
It's not funny.
Hey.
Damn it. I'll bust you up when I get out.
It's just a rope. What's to be afraid of?
Hello, this is Meihuang Hotel.
Hello, ma'am.
I am that…
I'm Kuei-tsai's friend.
The one who is cleaning Room 621.
I'm locked inside.
Can you please open the door?
I see.
I will go take a look.
Wait for me.
Jui-jui.
What are you doing?
You can't eat this.
How are you feeling?
Any discomfort?
Tell me if you feel uncomfortable.
Are you?
Why are your eyes so red?
You are scaring me.
Tell me what's the matter with you.
Okay, don't be angry.
It's okay.
Don't be angry.
I'm here.
It's okay.
Good boy.
Jui-jui.
I'm going to open the door for a guest.
You can wait here for me.
If you are hungry, drink some milk and don't eat pork liver.
MEIHUANG HOTEL
What the hell is this place?
It doesn't even have an elevator.
Okay, be good.
It's like working out, okay?
I am in heels.
It's so tiring.
Okay, I'm sorry.
Work out the legs.
Why are you here?
Chen Chun-nan.
She is here.
Why did you bring her here?
You didn't answer your phone.
I came to take the hotel's title deed and seal.
What else?
What seal and title deed?
How dare you!
Do you need it for your gambling debt and mistress?
My son is gone
and you know who caused it.
I'll wait for you here.
Don't take too long.
Jui-jui.
Ma'am.
Can you pick up the ball for me?
Ma'am.
Okay.
Sure.
In the hotel I am at,
someone hanged himself a few days ago.
I'm scared so I am broadcasting live now to have you accompany me.
All right?
-This is Meihuang Hotel. -Hanged?
Look at the floor.
I don't know what inscription this is.
What are you shooting, Kuei-tsai?
It has been too long.
Kid, here is your ball.
Kid.
That is strange.
Why am I here again?
Hey, are you done yet?
I'm almost done. Just wait a moment.
Where are you?
I don't know where I am.
Can you come and find--
Hello?
-Ma'am. -Hello?
Can you pick up the ball for me?
This is what I found on the Internet about toy balls.
-A total of 7,474 results. -74.
-Please take a look. -74.
74.
I don't understand what you are trying to tell me.
74.
Die.
Hey.
I'm going out now to lift a curse.
Can you summon the magical soldiers and generals to a place?
I will send you the address later.
What is going on?
What is the matter?
It's my son, Kuan-yu.
He went to a cursed place at night.
I'm going to save him.
Please, today is the Ghost Day.
The evil is at its strongest.
It's too dangerous.
My friend.
I'm counting on you.
HUANKUNG TEMPLE
My apologies, Zhong Kui.
There shouldn't be any ritual on the seventh lunar month.
We can't perform the ritual randomly.
But now, it's an emergency.
I beseech Zhong Kui for your kindness to help.
Please.
Be it a karmic creditor
or a ghost.
Here today,
settle your grievances
and disperse your anger.
Please give your guidance, Zhong Kui.
May you not go to the heavens nor to the earth.
Zhong Kui.
Kuai. I'm sending you an address.
Go there immediately and find the troupe captain with Chia-min.
Something bad is going to happen. Hurry up!
The Thai Demon?
Didn't we already send away the Thai Demon?
The Gate of Ghosts opened.
All demons and evil spirits come out in full force.
The Thai Demon must be hiding somewhere.
If it kills seven more people, we are doomed.
Could it be aiming at Zhong Kui this time?
You must hurry!
The troupe captain's son is in danger.
Seven bodies, seven lives!
Vow to kill Zhong Kui!
Seven bodies, seven lives!
Vow to kill Zhong Kui!
Thank you, ma'am.
Ma'am?
MEIHUANG HOTEL
Kuei-tsai.
Where are you going? Kuei-tsai!
Kuei…
Kuei-tsai, stop fooling around. Come out now.
Kuei-tsai.
Okay.
Are you playing hide and seek with me now?
If I catch you, I will bust your head out.
Damn it. You are good at hiding things.
Look what I found.
Kuei-tsai!
What are you doing?
Kuei-tsai!
Kuei-tsai, don't scare me.
Kuei-tsai.
Damn it!
Kuei-tsai.
You don't deserve to be his mom!
Let's see how well you hide them.
-I bet I will find them right away. -Jui-jui.
Suck at being a mom,
-but good at hiding things. -Give me back my Jui-jui.
Give me back my Jui-jui.
Give me back my Jui-jui!
-What are you doing? -Give me back my Jui-jui!
What are you doing?
Give him back!
-Give my Jui-jui… -Have you gone mad?
Do you want to die?
-Give me back my Jui-jui. -What are you doing?
-Do you want to die? -Give him back!
Do you want to die?
What's going on?
Jui-jui.
Kuei-tsai.
Kuei-tsai, wait for me. I will go get a knife.
Wan-hua.
I got the amulets.
Jui-jui.
Don't you dare hurt my Jui-jui.
Don't you dare!
What is going on? Wan-hua!
Wan-hua!
Call an ambulance!
What are you still doing there?
Wan-hua.
Jui-jui.
What are you doing?
I will never speak a word about what happened today.
Think about it. We are good friends.
I can never hurt you.
But my son said
he wants to eat meat.
Kuan-yu.
Save me.
Kuei-tsai?
Kuei…
HOUSE FOR RENT AT 5,000 DOLLARS PER MONTH
What the hell?
Where did he go?
Kuan-yu!
-Kuei-tsai. -Save me.
-Kuan-yu. -Kuei-tsai, open the door.
Save me!
Kuan-yu! Save me.
-Kuan-yu! Save me. -Kuei-tsai.
-I can't take it anymore.
-Kuei-tsai, open the door! -Kuan-yu.
Kuan-yu.
Kuan-yu!
Kuei-tsai, open the door!
Kuan-yu!
Hurry!
Kuan-yu!
Kuan-yu.
Save me.
What the hell?
Kuei-tsai.
Save me.
Kuei-tsai!
Seven bodies, seven lives!
Vow to kill Zhong Kui!
-Seven bodies, seven lives! -Kuan-yu.
Save me.
Kuan-yu.
Why didn't you save me?
Vow to kill Zhong Kui!
In the pure inner sanctum with 36,000 deities,
move and preserve teachings.
From past to future, may my body be at ease.
Reside among the Three Jewels.
When the eon is destroyed, may my body be indestructible.
When this scripture is recited, body, speech, and mind are purified.
Magical armies, urgently as the law!
Disperse all impurities in the heaven and earth
Cave of Mystery shines radiantly.
Guardians of the Directions, be one with me.
With Lingbao's order, I announce.
-Generals, heed my call. -Dad, be careful!
Evil spirit, begone.
Once there was a person
who accidentally called out the actor's real identity,
the evil spirit realized he was not the real Zhong Kui.
In the end, he bled all over
and died on stage.
Spirit, o' spirit.
With the lucky star above,
banish this evil spirit with this sword.
Heed my order.
The Grand Pure One, urgently go as the law!
Hey.
Dad!
Are you okay?
What's wrong?
Dad.
Are you feeling better?
Can you hear me?
Dad.
Dad, don't scare me.
Dad.
Can you hear me?
I'm Kuan-yu.
Kuan-yu.
I shouldn't have called you.
I'm sorry.
I'm sorry I made you like this.
You're not wrong.
You wanted to save me
so you violated the taboo.
Kuan-yu.
You know you can blame me
for you turning out this way today
and my sister's death.
It's obviously because of me.
You know? I just saw her.
Kuan-yu.
Look what I found.
-They're marbles. -What?
How come there are marbles?
I am going to pick up some more.
Dad is calling me. You can go ahead.
Okay.
Later,
take your sister
to play on the side.
When the ritual begins,
you can't call me.
-Understood? -Yes.
-Take good care of her. -Okay.
Hey, Kuan-yu.
There are crabs and fish.
I got you.
What?
Kuan-yu!
Save me!
Kuan-ling, be careful!
Kuan-ling!
There's a child drowning below!
Is it your child?
Why aren't you saying anything?
Tell me!
Kuan-ling!
If I could run faster,
I could have saved my sister.
She died because of me.
My good son.
My son.
How can I ever blame you?
I shouldn't have taken you two to the river.
I am sorry.
I am so sorry.
I am sorry.
I believe
your sister won't blame you.
She won't.
MEIHUANG HOTEL
What happened here?
MAY THE BUDDHA'S LIGHT SHINE UPON ALL
Vow to kill Zhong Kui.
Hurry up!
Dad.
Hello.
We have arrived
at this Meihuang Hotel that you said.
Which floor?
Okay.
What?
Speak louder.
Hang on. Explain clearly. Hello?
Hello?
If it weren't for my uncle,
I wouldn't have come here.
Kuai.
I have an odd feeling about this hotel.
What's the odd part?
I can smell a strong curse.
What should we do?
I need to set up an enchantment around the hotel first.
You should wear it.
This protection charm.
Don't ever take it off.
Now I am going
to teach you the Taoism mudra.
Like this?
Jui-jui.
Jui-jui!
Jui-jui, what's wrong with you?
Jui-jui!
Jui-jui, what's wrong with you?
What happened?
What's wrong?
I'm tired.
Help me wash the towel.
I want to clean my face.
Okay, rest for a while.
Dad!
Why did you lock the door?
Dad, open the door.
Dad!
Jui-jui.
We're almost at your godmother's house.
Hold on, Jui-jui.
It's going to be okay.
We're almost there.
We are here.
All right. Your godmother is here.
We are saved.
Please take a look.
No, he's not my godson.
He's not my godson!
Hurry up. Go!
I do not care who you are.
I will never let you hurt my son!
May you not go to the heavens nor to the earth.
Seven bodies, seven lives!
Vow to kill Zhong Kui!
Seven bodies, seven lives!
Vow to kill Zhong Kui!
Dad!
Kuan-yu.
Save me.
Help.
Kuan-ling!
Kuan-ling.
Can you hear me?
Kuan-ling. I'm Kuan-yu.
Kuan-ling.
I'm Kuan-yu.
Can you hear me?
Kuan-yu.
Kuan-ling.
I saved you.
I finally saved you, Kuan-ling.
Kuan-yu, run.
What are you talking about?
Run fast.
I was caught by the Thai Demon.
Run fast.
Kuan-ling, can you hear me?
Kuan-ling.
Dad.
PROTECTION CHARM
How could this be?
Known to the mountains and seas.
Subdue evil and protect me.
Dissipate evil and preserve our essence.
Urgently go as the law.
MEIHUANG HOTEL
Seven bodies, seven lives. Vow to kill Zhong Kui.
Kuai.
This looks too serious. I don't think I can help.
Kuai.
Vow to kill Zhong Kui!
Hey!
Vow to kill Zhong Kui!
All souls return now.
All primordial spirits return to their original positions.
Begone.
Did you look everywhere?
I found nothing.
Just the three of us.
Even the owner is gone.
I've encountered this curse before.
It will definitely attack those with the heavenly mandate.
Heavenly mandate.
Everyone talks about it.
What is the heavenly mandate?
Or is it my mandate to kill those around me?
My sister and Kuei-tsai.
Now even my dad is gone.
Sometimes it does.
Just like me.
I've lost a lot of important people too.
But I also see life and death clearly
and accepted my mandate.
Someone once said
that I was Zhong Kui's sister.
But I don't know the meaning of that sentence to me.
But I do know
since the day I accepted my mandate,
I have a different understanding to everything.
Let me ask you.
I think I just saw my sister.
It felt so…
It felt so real.
Then she kept talking
about the Thai Demon.
The Thai Demon is an evil spirit from Thailand.
I thought it was destroyed by Zhong Kui.
I didn't expect it to remain here.
It wants to be resurrected this time
and kill Zhong Kui's spirit.
In other words, he wants to kill you.
What's wrong?
I don't know.
My ears hurt.
I can smell it.
It's the curse of the Thai Demon.
MEIHUANG HOTEL
Where?
Kuei-tsai.
Dad.
The Thai Demon.
I'll take you home.
Vow to kill Zhong Kui!
Kuan-yu, be careful!
What are you doing, ma'am?
Vow to kill Zhong Kui!
Zhong Kui!
Hurry up and destroy the Kuman Thong inside.
Hurry up. I can't take it anymore.
Jui-jui.
Go away.
What did you do to my son?
Jui-jui.
What are you doing?
Go away.
Get out of here.
I'm here.
Bad guys.
Go away.
Jui-jui, it is okay.
Jui-jui, good boy.
He is not your son.
Go away.
You bad guys. Go away.
It's just Kuman Thong.
Wake up.
Take a good look.
SON KILLED IN ACCIDENT
A HOTEL OWNER KILLED HER SON IN A DRUNK DRIVING ACCIDENT
THE DAD DEMANDS TO GIVE HIM HIS SON BACK
You were the one drinking!
But why did my son die instead?
Are you sure you want to do this?
Once the summoning is performed,
your son will not be able to reincarnate.
I didn't mean to.
Please forgive me.
Jui-jui, you are back.
You really came back.
Jui-jui.
You grow up so fast.
Your hair grew again.
My goodness.
How many times have I told you?
Okay, stop playing.
Seven bodies, seven lives! Vow to kill Zhong Kui!
We are having ribs today.
Come eat delicious pork liver.
It's delicious.
Take your time to eat.
Vow to kill Zhong Kui.
This is bad.
It took seven lives.
What seven lives?
Seven bodies!
Seven lives!
Vow to kill Zhong Kui!
PROTECTION CHARM
Where am I?
Where is this place?
Hey!
Who's there?
Hey!
PROTECTION CHARM
Go away!
Please.
I humbly request.
Lead your army, Five Camps Commanders.
Descend upon this altar, swiftly as the law!
It broke.
Wu-hsiung and Kuan-yu.
OFFICIALS BRING OFFERING TO THE DEITIES
Zhong Kui.
Evil spirits and demons are harming all living beings.
I beseech Zhong Kui for your kindness and compassion
to come to the rescue.
Please.
Do you still remember
how I taught you those Zhong Kui steps?
Zhong Kui Opera is the source of all Zhong Kui.
Even if Zhong Kui is performed by an actor,
he still has the power to suppress all evil.
Together
with the Seven Star Steps Method,
take seven steps around the Eight-Diagram.
Zhong Kui's mana
is then completed.
Thus, you can hold down
all the evil spirits and demons.
First step, grasp your sword and advance to the east!
Second step, head southeast to complete the enchantment!
Third step, move southward and lift your sword to the southwest!
Fourth step, move westward and lift your sword to the northwest!
Fifth step, look up to the gate and pay respect to the gods!
Come out!
Come out now!
Kuan-yu!
Kuan-yu! Where are you?
Sixth step, stand firm to the north!
Thunder Gods, I call upon you.
Take this.
Take the seventh step!
Seventh step, head northwest and seal the Gate of Ghosts!
I humbly request for Zhong Kui.
Merge with me.
Bless me with power.
Let me banish all evil and save all beings!

ALL INVISIBLE BEINGS RETURN TO THEIR ORIGINAL PLACE
Hasn't he come out yet?
Almost there.
Too many invisible beings.
The field is all messed up.
Put this amulet on your body to prevent curses.
Thank you, Master.
If time can be paused
Is it possible that I won't lose you?
If thinking can be expressed aloud
He's over the top.
He's supposed to be Zhong Kui. He thinks he's here for cosplay.
Be polite.
There is no rule of what to wear.
Haven't you seen the Electric-Techno Neon Gods?
I got you!
You forgot how to perform, right?
What's happening?
I was right though.
Righteousness restrains evil spirits

Calling out your name every time
No longer frightened in the next life
Righteousness restrains evil spirits
Love, hatred, separation, and reunion Are determined by fate
Calling out your name every time
Exchange for good reputation In the next life
Does he remind you of Yen-huo?
Although the living and ghosts have different paths,
they actually overlap.
We're all living in the same world.
So when the Gate of Ghosts opens,
only then can those suffering and hungry beings
come out to accept our offerings.
As for Yen-huo,
he took his heavenly mandate and completed the task.
So he must have gone directly to heaven to enjoy the blessings.
Don't worry. He won't suffer.
Righteousness restrains evil spirits
Greed, hatred, injustice, and guilt Are all cremated
