THE PRODUCTION OF SHAW BROTHERS (HK) LTD.
This is Lizard Lake.
As the legend goes, a lizard turned into a monster many years ago.
And it would appear once every three years.
Someone would get killed on its appearance.
Here starts our story.
HAPPY ENGAGEMENT
- Congratulations. - Congratulations.
Congratulations on you becoming a father-in-law.
Not yet.
It's only their engagement.
We haven't set a wedding date yet.
It's because Long Fei has to escort a prisoner
from the border to the capital.
So, we let them get engaged first.
I heard that your future son-in-law is not local.
Yes, he is a good friend of Constable Tie.
Speaking of the devil. Constable Tie is here.
Congratulations.
Long Fei met my daughter when he was here in the spring.
They're really a match made in heaven.
Thank you.
Unfortunately, Zi Zhu's mother died early.
Or she would be so pleased to see this now.
Aunt is here.
Aunt, how come you're so late?
I was waiting for your uncle to wind up at the security bureau.
Where's Uncle?
Uncle!
Let me introduce you.
Uncle, this is Long Fei.
I've told you a lot about him. He lives next to us.
He's also the chief of my dad's security bureau.
- Master Xiao. - Why are you still calling me master?
- You should call me Uncle. - Uncle.
Good.
I've often heard that Hero Long's kung fu is good.
Also, back in the capital, he solved many cases with his master.
Those criminals are in trouble if they run into him.
Then your bureau has another good helper.
Brother Xiao, why isn't Ruo Yu here yet?
- He's sick and resting at home. - Zi Zhu, who is Ruo Yu?
He's the only child of my uncle and aunt.
He was born on the same day as me.
His mother and my mother are biological sisters.
We grew up together.
Zi Zhu, what time shall Long Fei be leaving tomorrow?
Early in the morning.
- How long will he be away? - Two years.
What's going on?
You've just come, so you have no idea about it.
The end of this Lizard River is Lizard Lake.
Legend has it that a 1000-year-old lizard turned into a monster there.
The one dressed in red is the monster in the legend.
- Has anyone seen it before? - I don't know.
It's rumored that it will emerge once every three years.
It caused the death of those who died last year.
Every three years?
I'm leaving for two years,
and it will appear again when I come back.
I might bump into it.
Stop talking nonsense.
Hurry back as soon as you're done at the capital.
My father and Uncle Xiao need your help at the security bureau.
Don't worry, I'm more anxious than you are.
I'll be staying at Luoyang Inn.
If there's anything urgent, you can find me there.
LUOYANG INN
Sir, please come inside.
- Make me a pot of tea. - All right.
LET'S MEET AT THE PAVILION ON JULY 14TH.
Let's meet at the pavilion on July 14th. Visitor from Hell.
Who are you?
The invitation in your hands was sent by me.
- Visitor from Hell? - That's right.
So you're the most famous Long Fei who fights against injustice.
- Do we have a grudge? - Not at all.
You're from the martial arts world.
I'm from the inn in hell.
Being from two separate worlds, what grudge could we have?
Then why have you asked me to come here?
I've got news from the nether world for you.
Your fiancée, Ding Zi Zhu, is going to die.
You're not a ghost. Who are you actually?
Whether I'm a ghost or not,
your fiancée will die too.
Tell me who sent you here.
I think you'd better stop asking questions here.
Hurry and go back to see your fiancée.
Otherwise, it could be too late.
Zi Zhu.
Sir, are you all right?
I'm all right,
but I'm not sure about the one behind.
- Are you all right? - I'm all right, but it hurts a bit.
- Let me pick up the coffin cover for you. - Zi Zhu?
What are you doing?
- Who's inside the coffin? - It's none of your business.
It's made of wood. How could it be like this?
Where did the wooden corpse come from? How come it could talk?
Mind your own business.
Where's the man in red and the white coffin?
That's weird.
Could it be the monster that emerges every three years?
DING RESIDENCE
XIAO RESIDENCE
Aunt Xiao.
Hero Long, you're back.
- Please come in. - All right.
It's weird. Where did she go?
Hero Long, come in how.
Long Fei, why did you come back suddenly?
Is there anything?
I thought you'll be back
- in the next few days. - Where's Zi Zhu?
- She just went back to her room. - Did you see her?
Of course, I was with her just now.
- Long Fei, what's with you? - When I was in the capital,
someone told me that Zi Zhu would die soon.
On my way back,
I met a man in red on a carriage carrying a white coffin.
Inside the coffin was a wooden corpse that looked exactly like Zi Zhu.
- And that wooden corpse could speak. - Long Fei, you're back.
What are you talking about?
What's wrong with you?
Just now, I saw a wooden figure that looked just like you.
- What? A wooden figure? - There's also something weird.
I just met Aunt Xiao at the doorway.
I greeted her, but she didn't respond.
- Father. - What? You saw Aunt Xiao?
Yes, but she disappeared all of a sudden.
- That's impossible. - It's true, I'm not lying.
- Then you must have seen a ghost. - What do you mean?
- She died not long after you left home. - What? She already died?
The night after you left, it was raining cats and dogs.
We were all asleep. Suddenly...
Help!
Master!
Help!
- Master! - Help!
Master!
Uncle told us that
Ruo Yu held Aunt Xiao and jumped into the river together.
After that,
no one has ever seen Aunt Xiao and Ruo Yu.
Not only this.
Even Uncle Xiao left the security bureau
after this heavy blow.
- No one knows about his whereabouts. - But
I really saw Aunt Xiao just now.
She was wearing a white cape and holding a green lantern.
Green lantern?
That's what a soul of a dead person would carry.
Master.
Constable Tie is here.
Did you know I'm back, that's why you came looking for me?
No. When I was on duty just now, I received a weird letter
saying that something would happen at Xiao Residence.
So I hurried here to show Master Ding the letter.
Something weird would happen at Xiao Residence, check it.
I heard from Master Ding that
after weird happenings at Xiao Residence,
no one lived there anymore.
That's why I came here to check.
That's strange.
How come so many weird things have happened tonight?
Father. Could it be the work of the monster in red?
You have a point.
He deceived Long Fei to come back
and asked Constable Tie to come here.
But there's no one in Xiao Residence now.
If so, how could anything weird happen?
It's not yet dawn.
That's true.
Forget it.
Maybe someone is making fun of us.
You have just arrived, you better have some rest.
Tomorrow, let's go to Xiao Residence to have a look.
Visitor from Hell?
Your fiancée, Ding Zi Zhu, is going to die.
A monster in red?
Aunt Xiao?
That's really weird.
SET FOOT ON THE PINNACLE OF SUCCESS
Nobody's here.
You can come out now.
Have you brought the things I've asked for?
Yes, inside the coffin.
- Open it and show me. - Yes.
- Who are you? - I'm not human.
- Why are you here? - Because this is hell.
This is strange. Where has he gone?
How could it be you?
How come you are here?
Didn't I show you that weird letter just now?
But I feel something is wrong.
So I came over to check it out.
Once I arrived, I saw shadows upstairs.
That's why I jumped up. I didn't expect it to be you.
What about you? Why are you here?
I also saw a woman in white next door. She went in here.
- But she has vanished now. - Where?
Right here.
- Do you have fire stone? - Yes.
The courtyard here is dilapidated, but this room is well-decorated.
It has pink drapes and beautiful screen doors.
Look!
That's not right. It wasn't like this just now.
Hey, come here and have a look.
This is the man I fought with just now.
No, I need to go and find Uncle Xiao.
Who are you?
Why are you here?
I'm a constable here. My name is Tie Hu.
I'm here to investigate a case.
- Madam, how about you? - Me?
I live here.
Where's that monster in red
- and that woman in white cape? - What?
Woman in a white cape?
Did you see her?
Is this her?
Exactly! That's her.
Then you must be seeing a ghost.
She's my madam.
She passed away two years ago.
What?
I really saw her just now.
But I only saw you when I came in.
Could it be that you mistook it?
How can that be? I even fought with that man in red just now.
Look!
- It's blood. - I must have wounded that man.
Well, that's not human.
It's a monster that caused the death of Young Master and Madam.
Where's your master now? I wish to see him.
My master?
He has left this residence for almost two years.
No one knows about his whereabouts.
But rumor has it that he'll be back tomorrow.
It looks like
we can only wait till Uncle Xiao returns to clarify what happened today.
What? She said Xiao Li will return tomorrow?
She also told us that
the monster in red and Aunt Xiao's soul
have appeared quite often in the last two years.
So someone is living in that residence.
- How come we haven't seen her? - This is strange.
Everything that happened tonight was very strange.
It was weird enough when Ruo Yu went insane two years ago.
Master Ding.
I think we should wait until Master Xiao returns tomorrow and ask him.
It's almost dawn. I should go.
All right, you should have some rest.
Long Fei, come with me to Xiao Residence tomorrow.
Sure. I'll go with you.
See you tomorrow.
Uncle Xiao is coming back.
Then how about the monster in red and the white coffin?
Monster in red? White coffin?
MA YOU CANG'S COFFIN
Day after day.
I really enjoy smoking opium.
Hey, you stay here.
MA YOU CANG'S COFFIN
MADAM HU'S COFFIN
Who is there? Who's talking?
Who put the coffin here?
It's the middle of the night. Why put the coffin here?
Who's talking?
Who has put the coffin here?
It's made of wood.
How come she laughs and talks?
- What's with you? - There's a wooden corpse there.
She could laugh and talk.
I know, it was me who put it there.
You? Who are you?
Here it is.
XIAO RESIDENCE
We haven't had any visitors for years.
Who are you two?
I'm Long Fei, and he's Constable Tie.
We're here to pay a visit to you.
There's something that we'd like to ask you.
So it's Long Fei and Constable Tie.
What can I do for you?
Please come in.
Please take a seat.
Thank you.
You definitely want to ask what happened last night.
You're right. That's our purpose here.
I've also received a very strange letter recently,
saying something would happen at Ding and Xiao Residences.
On top of that,
Long Fei has also seen a monster in red, a wooden corpse, and a woman in white.
That's why we have come to ask for your opinion.
Many strange things did happen in this residence.
And they have been going on for years.
Gentlemen.
Please come with me.
Last night, when the two of you came, this place was in a mess.
This morning, when I came back, I cleaned it up.
Please sit.
My servant told me that
you saw a monster in red
and also my wife here last night.
May I know where they are now?
This is just a wooden doll I made with my own hands.
She died two years ago.
And yes, the one in red
is not human.
It's a monster.
But I really saw them here with my own eyes last night.
This room was also beautifully decorated.
It's different from what it looks like now.
I know.
It was what my wife's room looked like before.
Every time she came back,
her room would look pretty exactly like it was before.
Maybe she knew that I was coming back.
So she waited for me here a day before.
Hero Long.
You saw a ghost last night.
Well.
You might not believe this.
But they're really not human.
This happened 19 years ago.
I was escorting security money at that time.
When I got the news that my wife was giving birth,
I rushed home using a shortcut.
I passed by Lizard Lake, which is said to be haunted by a monster.
It was already dark.
I seemed to be losing my way.
I then entered an ancient house in the bamboo forest.
Who would have expected
strange things to happen once I entered that ancient house?
A black lizard with a pair of green eyes attacked me.
So I drew my sword and stabbed it.
But it turned into a human and fought with me.
I want to take revenge!
I will take revenge for sure!
When I came home, my wife had just given birth to a son.
There was a lizard mark on his back.
He was Ruo Yu.
After he grew up,
a strange thing happened on a rainy night.
I saw a black lizard jump on him.
Ruo Yu!
- Father? What's going on? - What happened?
I saw a black lizard jump on Ruo Yu just now.
Suddenly, Ruo Yu turned into a monster with a pair of glaring eyes.
When I tried to kill him with my sword, he turned into Ruo Yu again.
Father, you...
Ruo Yu.
Don't move!
Do you want to kill me?
I should be the one to kill you today.
I want revenge because you killed me 19 years ago.
Ruo Yu, you...
Ruo Yu!
- Ruo Yu, what's wrong with you? - I'm not Ruo Yu!
Help!
- Young Master! - Ruo Yu!
- Young Master! - Help!
- Hurry and go! - Young Master!
Young Master.
All of a sudden, Ruo Yu became insane.
What's wrong with you?
Xian Jun!
I was careless, and my wife was killed by Ruo Yu.
- I couldn't stop him. - Xian Jun!
I saw the monster and my wife jump into the lake.
Ruo Yu!
Xian Jun!
Then I found out later that
what I had killed the other day
was the legendary black lizard.
He reincarnated as my son
and took revenge on me when he grew up.
Since then,
every night when it rained
or on a foggy night,
they would appear.
And this room
would suddenly change to what it looked like before.
Master Xiao, have you seen them too?
Yes, I have.
If not,
how could I have drawn him down
and put his portrait here?
What a black lizard!
He keeps haunting me.
But when I saw him yesterday, he was carrying a white coffin.
- There was a wooden corpse inside. - How did you know?
This is because
I once saw him on a foggy night.
- They were eating the wooden corpse. - What?
You might not believe what I'm going to say.
When they ate the wooden corpse,
the living person it represented would die soon.
- Zi Zhu. - What?
The wooden corpse you saw yesterday was Zi Zhu?
That being the case, you have to protect her well from now on.
Because that monster has great magic.
- Master, this is bad! - What is it?
Someone delivered a coffin here.
Who does this coffin belong to?
I don't know.
Then why did you deliver it here?
A pale-looking woman in a white cape
gave us ten taels of silver and asked us to deliver it here.
Xian Jun?
Now that the coffin has been brought here, it's time for us to go.
What?
This is the clothing!
Xian Jun wore this clothing when she died.
Ruo Yu stabbed her right there.
According to Xiao Li, this black lizard is so horrible.
Could there be such a monster in this world?
I don't know either.
But Master Xiao needn't lie.
Besides, you really saw
this woman in a white cape that night in his courtyard.
Yes, I also saw a corpse who could talk.
Be careful of your swords!
It's you?
Why are you hiding here?
I'm here to look for you. I have something to tell you.
But it was getting dark,
and I was scared.
- So I hid inside this wardrobe. - What are you afraid of?
This is because I saw
a wooden corpse who could talk last night.
- Wooden corpse? - Yes! It's right over there.
It's this coffin.
Let's take out the wooden corpse and have a look.
- Are you human or a ghost? - How about you two?
Hey! Who are you?
You don't know me?
I'm Xiao Ruo Yu, son of Xiao Li.
I feel so bored lying on this piece of wood.
It's so boring!
So he's Ruo Yu, the one who killed his mother.
Why did he hide inside this piece of wood?
What did you say?
I killed my own mother?
You...
- Young Master Xiao! - Ruo Yu!
- What is it? - You are...
Please don't kill me.
Why do you want to kill me?
Who wants to kill you?
They threw me into the river.
Then, they wrapped me up with wood.
They all wanted me dead!
Who do you mean?
One of them is the ghost in red.
Another one is
my father.
Please don't kill me. I beg you!
Who are you actually? Why do you want to kill Xiao Ruo Yu?
Mother!
- Ruo Yu. - Young Master Xiao.
Coming.
How come Young Master is back?
Ruo Yu?
Ruo Yu!
Ruo Yu.
How did you find him?
That monster hid him inside Zi Zhu's wooden corpse.
So cold.
He was struck by the Ice Palm.
It's that monster who wounded him.
Nanny.
Help Young Master to the backyard.
- I'll go look for a physician. - Yes.
How's he now?
He still hasn't woken up yet.
Master Xiao said that he was struck by the Ice Palm.
If it's true,
that could make one reverse his mind.
A normal person would gradually become insane.
On the contrary, a madman would become normal again.
Did Master Ding have any antidote for this?
My father was out this morning and hasn't returned yet.
You guys must be hungry. Come and have some food.
You came at just the right time.
Why don't you eat?
Madam.
Was there a butler called Zhou here before?
How come he's not here?
He's not been here for quite long.
- Young Master Xiao. - Ruo Yu.
What place is this?
Young Master, this is your bedroom.
Who are you?
I'm your nanny.
No, I don't know you.
I don't know you at all.
No matter what, you're home now.
- Your father is getting a doctor for you. - What? My father?
Where is he?
- Young Master Xiao! - Ruo Yu!
Where's my father?
- Young Master Xiao! - Ruo Yu!
- Young Master! - Where's my father?
- Ruo Yu! - This is strange.
How come he's so afraid of his dad?
- Ruo Yu! - Young Master Xiao!
Wake up! This is your home.
I'm awake.
I know this is my home, that's why I want to leave.
- Young Master Xiao! - Ruo Yu!
Let go of me! They'll kill me when they return.
We've driven the monster in red away.
It's not that monster in red, but him!
- Young Master Xiao! - Ruo Yu!
Mother!
It's just a wooden figure.
Your mother died two years ago.
That's correct. It was right here!
He killed my mother.
What nonsense are you talking about?
I'm not talking nonsense. I saw it with my own eyes.
He hit my head with his palm.
Then I passed out.
And I just regained consciousness.
Who did you say killed your mother?
It's him!
Who is he?
He is...
- Young Master. - Ruo Yu.
Go and look at Ruo Yu!
- Young Master. - Ruo Yu, are you all right?
Who wanted to kill you? Speak!
Father!
- Father! - Your father isn't back yet.
- Why do you keep calling him? - No!
- Father! - Young Master!
- Ruo Yu!
That's strange! Where has he gone?
Long Fei!
- Is that monster in red downstairs? - No.
But Ruo Yu is dead.
Help!
Monster in red?
How come it's him?
He just passed out.
Bring him back first.
- What's going on? - I don't know either.
- What happened? - I have no idea.
Father!
He's been hit by the Black Sand Palm.
Will he die?
No, but he's badly wounded.
I really don't get it. How come he's the monster in red?
No! My father is surely not that monster in red.
My father won't kill anyone.
If he's not the monster in red,
how come he's wearing these clothes?
It's not that simple.
If he's that monster in red,
then who wounded him?
Moreover, we've just seen him in the loft up there.
How could he have come back here so quickly?
- You have a point. - Also, did you realize that
we seem to have been manipulated
from the time you got that weird letter?
The female ghost that's in white, and the monster that's in red.
All these led us to bring Ruo Yu back
and killed by the monster in red.
Later, these let us discover
that the monster in red is Uncle Ding.
All this seems to have been arranged.
And everything seems to be in order.
We are only witnesses to the fact that Uncle Ding is the murderer.
Do you mean someone wants to put the blame on Uncle Ding?
And this person bears a grudge against Ruo Yu.
Otherwise, Ruo Yu wouldn't have been killed too.
Miss Ding, do you know
who's the enemy of both of your families?
My father couldn't possibly have had a grudge against anyone.
Ruo Yu!
That's weird. How did I get drunk just now?
Ruo Yu!
Oh, yes! We've been talking with Uncle Xiao about the past.
Hasn't he got an old butler at his place?
He San said he knew him.
I'll go with He San to look for him.
Hopefully, we could find out something from him.
Why don't you just go and ask Uncle Xiao?
I think Uncle Xiao is trying to hide something from us.
And I don't quite believe in the story about the black lizard.
I feel the same too.
- Let me go with you. - No.
You stay here to protect Uncle Ding.
If someone really wants to kill him,
he'll surely come tonight.
So let me go with He San to look for the butler.
Here we are.
Who is it?
It's He San.
- You drunkard, why are you looking for me? - Not me.
It's Hero Long looking for you.
He'd like to ask you something.
So it's Hero Long. Please come in.
- Please have some tea. - Thank you.
Speaking of Master Xiao...
It was supposed to be a happy family.
But one rainy night...
Help!
We were awakened by Madam's cry for help.
I saw Master Xiao holding a sword in his hand,
chasing after Madam and Young Master.
Later, I heard that Young Master had gone mad
and killed Madam at the lakeside.
After that tragedy, Master Xiao was very sad
and sent us all away.
Since then, we never saw Master Xiao again.
Not long after that, Master Xiao also left the residence.
And no one knows his whereabouts.
What did you just say?
He was trying to kill Young Master Xiao?
We also have the same question.
If it were the monster causing the trouble,
it should be Young Master Xiao trying to kill Master Xiao.
But we saw very clearly that Master Xiao was holding the sword.
That sounds more like the way I think about it.
DING RESIDENCE
- What is it? - Look!
Stay here and don't go out.
Aunt?
Who are you?
Someone is coming.
Something is wrong.
- Hero Long. - Hero Long.
Why didn't you open the door?
Something's happening in the backyard.
- Please go check it out soon. - Let's go!
- Constable Tie, what's happening? - Two women in white have just left.
- Where's Zi Zhu? - She's inside the room with Master Ding.
Oh, no! You've been tricked.
- Zi Zhu! - Miss Ding!
Zi Zhu!
That was their trick.
But I was outside the room just now. I didn't see anyone taking Zi Zhu away.
Would there be a secret tunnel in this room?
- Uncle Ding! - Master Ding!
Master!
- What's going on? - Uncle Ding.
Does this room have a secret tunnel?
Zi Zhu's gone.
What?
Zi Zhu's gone?
Yes, she's gone.
Is there a secret tunnel here?
Yes, there's one
- secret tunnel. - Where is it?
It's behind the screen door.
Come and have a look!
There are many drawings here.
There's also a bed there.
Who's done all the carving here?
I wonder too.
There are also many paintings here.
Long Fei, come and have a look.
So this is Uncle Xiao's backyard.
Very well. Our plan worked.
Tomorrow is the last day.
Where's he now?
He's preparing for the funeral.
Is his five thousand taels of gold ready?
Yes. He'll give them to us tomorrow night.
All right, I'm leaving.
So the monster in red and the female ghost in white we saw
were these two.
I didn't realize I fought with them just now.
That old nanny looks so old.
But in fact, she is the female killer.
We've always suspected that we've fallen into a trap.
Now, we can figure out what happened.
This is the residence of Master Xiao.
So he has something to do with this matter.
But why did he do that?
Why did he kill his own son and blame it on Uncle Ding?
He even kidnapped his daughter.
There must be some reason behind all this.
Hero Long.
- Have you found Miss Ding yet? - Not yet.
You've been with the Xiao family for so long.
Do you know about this place?
Yes. This underground chamber was built by their ancestors.
In case something happened, they could hide here.
But it's been deserted for years.
What's more, the door was sealed.
I wonder when Master Xiao decorated it so beautifully.
The door has been opened too.
Butler Zhou, tell us honestly.
What grudge do these two families have against each other?
We've found out that your master, Xiao Li,
killed his own son
and kidnapped Miss Ding.
What?
No wonder when Madam died,
Master Xiao sent us all away hastily.
We suspect that she was also killed by him.
The story about the black lizard is fake.
Now he wants to kill Zi Zhu too.
No, it's impossible for him to kill Young Lady.
Do you know any secrets of these two families?
No.
I don't know.
But since Young Master is dead,
he shouldn't kill Miss Ding too.
That's strange. How could Master Xiao become like this?
Maybe we should wait until Master Ding regains consciousness
- and ask him the details. - I'm afraid it's too late.
He's been badly wounded by the Black Sand Palm.
Unless there's the antidote from my teacher,
he'll never regain consciousness.
So we have to wait for at least 24 hours.
Why don't you go to Master Xiao?
No.
If we go to him now,
he won't simply tell us where he's hidden Zi Zhu.
Besides, he's also got two fighters.
- We have to wait until tomorrow night. - What about Miss Ding?
This suddenly occurred to me.
There's only one way he could have killed Zi Zhu
without her body being found.
Hey!
- Bring the coffin. - Yes.
Come.
- Open it. - Yes.
Zi Zhu is not here, it's still Xiao Ruo Yu.
XIAO RUO YU'S COFFIN
This coffin contains two layers. Move the corpse away.
- Yes. - Let's do it.
Come on.
Let's celebrate. I killed you both,
buried Zi Zhu alive, and blamed it on Ding He.
It was a huge success.
Cheers!
What is it?
You've been buried alive for two years. Does the soil taste good?
You're here.
We've accomplished whatever you asked us to do.
Where's the gold?
Over there.
A total of five thousand taels.
If you have good business again next time,
do come to us.
No way.
We won't see each other again.
- Xiao Li, what do you mean? - Xiao Li, what do you mean?
Nothing.
Apart from five thousand taels of gold,
there are explosives inside the box too.
You...
All right.
Now, there are two more to accompany you in hell.
You're really smart.
You killed and destroyed the evidence at the same time.
Who are you?
We found a lot of masks and red and white capes in your room.
These two can dress up as whoever they want.
What? You are not dead?
Xiao Li.
Why have you killed so many people?
- So you know about my affairs? - Even if we don't,
we heard about them just now.
Mind his Black Sand Palm.
Xiao Li, tell the truth now!
So you won't be penalized heavily.
You want to know the truth?
All right! I'll let more people in this world know about it.
One night two years ago,
when I returned from work, I didn't see Xian Jun.
Xian Jun.
Xian Jun?
But I found that the secret chamber door was ajar.
So I went down.
This door led all the way to Ding Residence.
The exit to this door is Ding He's room.
When I arrived at Ding He's room,
I found Xian Jun and Ding He together.
And I saw Ding He had a birthmark
exactly like Ruo Yu's.
The most important thing was what I heard Xian Jun say...
Yes. Ruo Yu has exactly the same birthmark as yours.
It means Ruo Yu is your biological son.
I almost went crazy when I heard this.
When I got home, I killed that adulteress.
I killed her near the lake.
But I feared someone would find her body,
so I buried her corpse in the underground chamber.
What did you do to Ruo Yu?
I grabbed that bastard
and hit him insane with the Black Sand Palm.
Then I locked him in the underground chamber.
Then who were the two who went after me?
I knew you were coming back,
so I hired a pair of the most vicious killers
to dress up as Xian Jun's soul
and as the monster in red in Lizard Lake.
And I made up a story about a monster seeking revenge.
The purpose was to attract your attention
- so that you would fall into my trap. - So your aim wasn't to kill me.
So, how come Ruo Yu was in the white coffin?
When Uncle Ding was knocked down unconscious,
who was the one crying for help?
I carved a wooden figure that looked exactly like Zi Zhu
and hid Ruo Yu inside it.
Then I put him in the white coffin.
I would like to draw your attention to this matter more.
When this matter was almost uncovered,
I asked Visitor from Hell to dress up as the monster in red to kill Ruo Yu.
When you were busy watching over Ruo Yu,
Visitor from Hell and I
hit Ding He unconscious with the Black Sand Palm.
We then dressed him up as the monster in red.
After that, I shouted for help.
Help!
You would have expected Ding He to be the murderer.
Then, my plan to kill two birds with one stone could work.
So you've made up all these stories about a monster killing people
for the sake of putting the blame on Master Ding
and using me as a witness to all this.
This way, the people would think he's the mastermind in all this.
You're right.
Ding He had an affair with my wife
and gave birth to a bastard.
So I must avenge this!
In order to give vent to my hatred, I wouldn't let him die a good death.
I want him to go to jail
and be humiliated for the rest of his life.
This explains the story of Xiao Li seeking revenge.
Now you've committed murder.
- You're the one who is going to jail. - What?
You're still young.
I guess you haven't heard the saying
"whistling wind and whistling sword."
"Whistling wind and whistling sword" means
both man and sword are like the wind.
Uncle Xiao. Your reason for doing all this was made up by yourself.
Now, Uncle Ding has regained consciousness.
Why don't you go and ask him?
Yes! You should go and ask him.
Why do I have to do this?
Maybe you've arranged for someone up there to ambush me.
I'll just kill you all!
Uncle Xiao, if you continue like this, don't blame us for being rude.
You shouldn't be kind to me in the first place.
Because if you don't kill me, I will kill you.
Also, I will go up and kill them all.
Don't come near!
Otherwise, I will kill her.
- Uncle. - Shut up!
Move!
Let's go up!
Don't come over, or I'll kill her.
You can't kill her.
- Why? - This is because
she's your biological daughter.
What are you talking about?
Nanny.
Tell him the truth now.
Master.
It's like this.
When you went to escort security money 19 years ago,
Madam Xiao and Madam Ding gave birth on the same night.
Madam Xiao gave birth to a girl, and Madam Ding gave birth to a boy.
Madam Xiao knew of your desire for a boy
and feared that you would be unhappy if you knew it was a girl.
So Madam Xiao couldn't stop crying.
Madam Ding valued her relationship with Madam Xiao.
So she asked me to switch the two babies.
In fact, Young Lady Zi Zhu is your daughter,
and Young Master Ruo Yu is Master Ding's son.
Young Master was the son of Master Ding.
Of course he has exactly the same birthmark as Master Ding's.
- What? - Zi Zhu is really your daughter.
Nonsense!
You are all talking nonsense!
In fact, all of you are like me,
making up a story to fool people.
Ding He!
No matter what,
my wife and son died because of you.
I must kill you today!
Ding He, I have to kill you!
- Uncle Xiao! - Master Xiao!
- Uncle Xiao, listen to me. - Who wants to listen to you?
Uncle Xiao!
- Listen to me. - Master Xiao!
You are all lying to me!
- Uncle Xiao! - Stop lying to me!
- Uncle Xiao! - Master Xiao!
- No way! - Stop fighting, please!
- Stop fighting! - Uncle Xiao!
Don't come near!
Lizard Lake.
This is it!
This is the lizard!
It's that monster!
This is it!
It killed my wife and my son!
This is it!
You said that the monster in the lake is just a legend.
There's no such thing at all. You've made everything up.
- Master Xiao, please come over. - No!
It killed Ruo Yu and also Xian Jun!
Master Xiao!
