| Summary |
During the time of the warring states, Chu General Ging Lit is a bold and brave warrior and to repay his services to his country, Master Lai offers him his daughter Suet Gei�s hand in marriage. Lit gratefully accepts and falls deeply in love with Gei, but unbeknown to him she is having an illicit affair with Lit�s martial brother Sim Mo Che and when their attempt to elope is foiled, Gei is forced to return to her duties as a wife and Che is left alone. However, their secret meetings continue when Lit is away at war until one day, he returns early to find his wife in the arms of Che. A battle ensues between the brothers, and Che plants demons into the body of Lit in an evil spell, causing him to disintegrate into an angry spirit which is carried away by the winds. Gei feels guilty at what she has done and commits suicide and despite Che�s attempts to revive her using various spells and charms, he fails and her ghost is kept sealed in a porcelain figure. In turn Che is punished for using such despicable spells by Buddha and finds himself killed by lightning and banished to the lowest reincarnation cycle. A thousand years pass and Lit�s spirit has travelled the length and breadth of the earth, picking up the power of innocent angry spirits and gaining strength to rebuild a body. He has been prevented from doing this by three immortals � the Stone Fairy, the Plum Blossom and the Turtle. They have been watching over and capping his energy by encasing his centre in a crystal globe. It is released however by a playful monkey demon who accidentally breaks it. Lit�s soul gathers and he emerges in human form on the earth. At this time, as they are fretting, Buddha appears and sends the three immortals down to earth to help the chosen one who is destined to do battle with Lit and redeem the mortals. The monkey is sent away to await its fate. Meanwhile on the earth, the dark clouds and plagues created by Lit�s vengeful soul are suddenly dispersed with the birth of San Sap Long and he is seen as an auspicious omen. However, Sap Long doesn�t speak until he is seven years old when he meets a young monkey demon called Siu Siu and when out playing with her, he falls into the lotus pool inside her cave and his senses are opened by the magical waters. He falls in love with Siu Siu and she visits him in his dreams every night much to the displeasure of her grandfather who knows that something bad would come of this. Time goes by and when Sap Long is twenty years old, he is forced by his family to marry his fianc�e Tung Sin Yee. She is spiteful and dislikes Siu Siu for having ridiculed her as a child and knowing about Sap Long�s love for Siu Siu, she uses petty magic to force him to love her instead. This backfires and the magic causes her own death but the immortals intervene and allow Siu Siu to become human by planting her soul into Sin Yee�s body. Sap Long is overjoyed to find that his beloved Siu Siu is now a human and his own wife, and Siu Siu is totally devoted to her husband � so much so as to even give her own life for him. By a twist of fate, Sap Long inadvertently releases Gei�s ghost from the porcelain figure and when she realises that a thousand years have passed, she vows to find the reincarnated form of Che and rekindle her feelings with him. With the help of Sap Long�s mother who is a flower fairy, she also takes human form and with magical powers, sets off on her search for her lover. On her travels, she meets Lit who has established himself as a preacher, offering magic to his followers in exchange for their anger and bitterness to build his strength. He laughingly sends her on her way, saying that he will catch up with her when she finds Che so he can deal with them both together. Lit�s evilness is shown in full when he slaughters Sap Long�s family in cold blood when he finds out that his love for Sap Long�s mother Sui Fu Yung is unrequited and that she had left him for a mortal. In a final bid for Lit to spare the life of Sap Long, she reveals to Lit that Sap Long is his son just before her own death. A brief father-son relationship is created as a result, but this is soon crushed by Sap Long�s feelings of vengeance towards Lit and also the revelation to Lit that Sap Long is not his son but is actually the reincarnation of his archenemy Sim Mo Che. Faced with the knowledge that Sap Long�s destiny is to destroy him, Lit prepares to create chaos on the day of reckoning and for a battle which would not only decide the fate of them both, but also the future of the earth and all mankind. |
