The Love of the Ferry: New Legend of Liao Zhai (Liao Zhai for Spirit Crowstory / Liao Zhai Xin Bian Zhi Du Qing / 聊斋新编之渡情)

Legend has it that a thousand years ago

a fox demon caused trouble in a region.

A master with high Taoist cultivation

saw that the demon did harm to the people,

so he came to bring it under control.

You don't need to suffer like this.

Stinky Taoist, why do you have to corner me to this extent?

I just ate a few people.

Why can you human kill foxes

while foxes can't eat human?

This is the way of the Nature.

Stinky Taoist!

Absorb!

Stinky Taoist!

Let me out!

God is benevolent.

You should repent of your sins in here.

Fox Love

Young friend,

is Taoist Wang in?

Who are you? What are you looking for my master for?

Kid, don't be rude.

Taoist Brother, what important business brings you here?

Let's talk inside.

OK. Come on in.

Kid, keep cleaning. Don't slack off.

Go ahead.

Please.

Taoist Brother, what brings you here?

Brother, the aura of demon is strong.

In here is a fox demon that has been causing trouble everywhere recently.

I want to suppress it here.

What do you think?

OK.

Thank you.

Taoist Brother.

He always comes and goes in a hurry.

Kid. Kid.

Master

Master, where did that man go?

Don't ask so much.

I have something to do.

Keep an eye on this gourd for me.

Remember, don't remove the talisman on it.

Got it, Master.

Yes.

Master, what's inside?

Stop asking.

Have you read the Sutra of Removing Misfortune and Calamity?

Not yet.

Not yet?

Read it ten times.

Yes, Master.

Good boy.

Little Fox, wait for me for a minute.

Little Fox!

How dare you come to a Taoist temple?

If my master sees you,

he might not apply medicine for you like me.

Little Fox, can you be my friend?

The Taoist temple is really boring.

All right.

Little Fox, are you okay?

Let me out! Let me out!

Mom!

You can speak?

Yatou, is that you?

Yatou, get me out!

You can't do it like this.

Only a cultivator can tear off this talisman.

Cultivator?

Please! Please save my mom.

But my master told me

not to tear that talisman off.

Please help me. Please.

I really can't tear it.

I'll help you.

Watch out!

Little Taoist!

I'm free!

Mom, please save the little Taoist.

Save him? Humph!

Taoist Priest Zhang,

I will revenge for this.

En eye for an eye!

I'll take triple revenge on you.

Young Master!

Young Master!

Excuse me. -Young Master, wait for me.

Are you blind?

I'm sorry.

Are you in a hurry to get reincarnated?

Lad, mind your own business.

You've got guts!

Thank you very much.

Young master, you ran too fast.

Is it worth it only for a rabbit?

This rabbit is also a life.

May I take a look at the rabbit?

You know medicine?

A little. I was a hunter when I was a kid.

Thank you.

How is it?

It's fine. The rabbit was just in too much shock

that it went into a state of suspended animation.

It'll be fine soon.

Thank you.

Bro Wang, you are not a good friend.

You haven't recognized me for so long.

You are...

Zhao Donglou?

I never thought we could meet again after so many years.

Are you going to the capital for the exams?

Yes, I was just passing by.

By the way, Donglou,

how is your business these years?

It's a long story.

Let's go to my place.

We can talk on the way.

I should thank your family.

If it weren't for your financial support,

I wouldn't have done this.

Let's go.

Sir, come and play.

Come in and play.

Mr. Zhang, you are here.

Come in.

Sir, come in and play.

Come in and play.

We're almost there. Just ahead.

Bro Zhao, I didn't expect so many things to happen these years.

Yes, Bro Wang.

I've made a lot of money these years.

Now I just want to start a family with someone

and live a simple life.

Please come in.

Mr. Zhao. -Bro Zhao.

Let's go.

It's OK. Bro Wang.

No! No! -It's OK, Bro Wang.

Bro Zhao, you...

Come on. -Go in.

It's OK. -Bro Zhao.

Bro Wang.

Don't.

It's OK, Bro Wang.

Bro Zhao.

Just let's go. You're already here.

Young Masters.

Come on. It's OK.

Bro Zhao, you...

Let's get in.

How are you?

How long has it been since you last came?

I miss you so much.

Come on.

Have you learned any new tricks?

Get lost.

You little beauty.

You're so sweet.

Just make me happy.

Bro Zhao, it's really not okay.

Bro Wang, stop refusing.

Let's go.

No.

You're already here. It's really okay.

Let's go.

No.

Let's just leave.

Hey, Bro Wang.

Bro Wang.

Bro Zhao.

Let's go.

Have a seat.

Please enjoy, sir.

Here, Bro Wang.

Here.

Thank you.

Bro Zhao, why do you live in such a lewd place?

Do you despise this place?

Well...

I'm not picky about where I live.

Besides,

don't they say a mild-mannered lady is a fine match for the gentleman?

Bro Zhao, how long do you plan to stay here?

Actually, you don't know about the truth.

I live here because of a girl.

Her name is Violet.

I want to buy her freedom.

I didn't expect you to be such a loyal person.

Speaking of which, you're not young anymore, Bro Wang.

I wonder when you will get married.

I haven't thought about that yet.

All I'm thinking now is to make a name in the exam and benefit everyone in my hometown.

You're ambitious. I'm impressed.

Bro Wang, stay for a few more days

so that my homesickness can be relieved.

OK.

Come on, Bro Wang.

Yes, that's so well-played.
