Sister!
Xian, I'm coming for you.
JINSHAN TEMPLE, ZHENJIANG
Today insects awaken, spring begins.
We two snake sisters
will overturn Jinshan Temple.
Vajra-samadhi, the power of stillness
all living things are contained in me!
Go!
Take her!
Sister!
Aum mani pad me him
Xian!
Master, Master!
You're so powerful. Leave her be.
Please let her go!
Sister!
Verta!
Sister...
I caused all this.
I don't blame him.
That useless man. He's not your Xuan.
Verta, the monk won't make things hard for you.
This child - give him to his father.
No!
Verta,
Keep going!
Sister,
sister...
Sister!
To Hangzhou's Leifeng Pagoda, for eternity!
Be a lesson to others.
Sins, sins.
Fahai, you're a joke.
Lust, murder -
you broke every taboo.
What gives you the right to persecute us?
I practice my faith but still have my demons.
I regret that.
I have no right.
But Dharma is greater than me, and eternal.
I took her to in obedience to it.
Excuses!
Dharma this, Dharma that.
We live in peace
and bother no one.
And yet you have to destroy us.
You're only stronger than us -
that's all.
I'm not going to take you. Go away.
You useless man.
You never manage to help her.
In every incarnation, you just hurt her!
Becoming a monk doesn't free you of your bonds.
I'm not leaving.
I'll kill you, you stinking monk!
Entangled fates and empty lives.
The pursuit of illusion
bars entry to Nirvana.
Go to the place of self-annhilation!
Sister...
Green Snake
Great Treasures Sutra: Evil opens four paths. Hell. Hungry Ghost. Beast. Asuraville.
Asuraville, the path travelled
by the obsessed and the quarrelsome.
What is this place?
Am I in Leifeng Pagoda too?
Sister! Sister!
Blanca!
Fahai, you bald donkey,
what is this place?
Show yourself!
Where are my powers?
Who are you? Name?
Run!
Out of ammo.
What?
Get in!
Thanks.
You're new here.
I'm Sun. Sister Sun.
C'mon.
Sun...
what is this place?
Asuraville, devil town.
Asuraville.
Hurry, go inside.
That blasted Bull-Horse gang can't be far.
Who was the guy that saved us?
Him?
Thinks he's a hero but he's not so strong.
Also, he doesn't take sides.
In this world, no one chooses the weak.
C'mon.
This is Octopus's territory. Our refuge.
You saw how dangerous it is out there.
In here, it's a bit safer.
But not totally.
What dynasty are you from?
Dynasty?
The Great Song.
What's your dynasty?
1000 years after yours.
You wouldn't get it.
Here, there's folk from every era.
Humans, demons, Bullheads and Horsefaces.
I came two months ago.
I was rock-climbing,
and two metres from the peak
I slipped and fell,
opened my eyes, and here I was.
Here I learned
the spirit world is real.
But, these demons aren't so scary.
They're crazy strong, but they can't shape shift.
And no magic powers like in the legends.
Asuraville -
what is it, really?
Not heaven, hell, nor the human realm
In Asuraville, it's dog eat dog.
Neither humans nor spirits want to die.
You have to be strong.
You know it, babe.
I keep telling you, just be mine.
You won't need to risk your life
just to survive.
Oh, another little sweetie...
Get lost.
Why so serious?
Why waste your youth...
Let's go.
In here, hurry.
Some soda?
Let me show you some books.
They'll tell you
what's happened in the last 1000 years.
Is it strange skipping all that time?
I did it before.
500 years that time.
Really?
This book isn't bad, have a read.
Besides book, there's this.
There's lots of stuff stored inside.
Check out what you missed out on.
Maybe it's not so much.
Here, you try.
Strong stance.
Firm grip.
Try again.
Yeah, the city is alive.
Alive?
There's a lot more weirdness,
you haven't seen anything yet.
Whatever this is, I need to escape it.
I have to find my sister.
To leave,
you have to survive first.
Damn, Bullheads, Horsefaces - their whole gang is here.
Run! They're occupying the building!
Why?
Dunno,
but they'll kill everyone for sure.
Hurry!
No exit that way. To the roof!
Mr Bull.
Master Simon.
Since I came to this city
every minute is life-and-death.
That we've survived till now
is no small feat.
No small feat.
You really want to fight all the time?
They're already on the roof.
Two tigers can't share one mountain.
Victory! Victory! Victory!
When two tigers fight, one gets hurt.
That one isn't necessarily me.
It's time we worked that out.
No time like the present.
You've got a point.
Follow me.
Sister Sun...
Go!
Hurry!
Run!
Get in, hurry!
These demons are getting out of control.
In the beginning, they'd appear once a month.
Now it's every few days!
So true, 3rd Lieut.
Asuraville's cycles of storm, fire, flood and poison gas,
the 4 kalpas, they bring on the evil spirits.
The kalpa go faster and faster
and it's harder and harder to survive.
So,we have to unite and power up,
conserve our strength,
not open our doors to just anyone.
That's right.
Humans and demons don't belong here.
This is Raksha territory.
I'm neither Raksha nor monster.
Simon kept us Rakshas from being wiped out.
We swore to make him our leader.
3rd Lieut., 4th Lieut., we welcome humans and demons
because they're useful.
And her? What use is she?
Cursed little demon!
Little Raksha, how vain you are.
I'm not afraid of this stinking mud.
I'm not afraid of you.
And I'm not afraid of the Bull-Horses.
You boastful little demon!
Since you made me your leader,
in these times, I've done everything I could
to live up to your expectations.
But
regardless of the natural chaos
or the reappearance of the evil spirits
supplies are our top priority.
True.
2nd Lieut...
We've got food, but fuel's low.
At sunrise, the evil spirits will retreat
and I'll go to All-Good Market.
All-Good Market?
And... she's going with me.
Okay,
if she can bring back supplies,
the Rakshas will have a place for her.
As soon as you're ready, we're off.
I'll wait outside.
These collapsing buildings are pretty scary.
But they expel stuff like cars and food
just like tides dump fish on the beach.
What kind of people end up here?
People who aren't ready -
who resist leaving this life
for another reincarnation.
True. I'm resisting.
My sister and I were so close.
Then she fell in love with a weakling.
If she had to fall in love
why not pick a man strong enough to protect her.
Not many men are stronger than you.
The Bull-Horses,what's their story?
Them?
They're a monster clan.
In Asuraville, besides humans and demons
there's monsters like Bull-Horses and Rakshas.
And those evil spirits?
They once were humans, demons or monsters.
No one knows where they came from.
But if they bite you, you turn into one.
You're a lousy driver.
Let's go.
Everyone in Asuraville agreed -
the area from here on belongs to All-Good Market.
It's neutral ground, can't be invaded.
This Asuraville...
The boss of All-Good Market -
she knows it best.
Give it to me.
Stop him!
How dare you!
It's you!
You know him?
When I first got here, he saved me.
Ah, we have visitors.
You wanted to know Asuraville's origins?
Asuraville - what's it all about?
Why am I here?
Here you go.
It seems you know two of my old customers.
I'll tell you, why not.
The most agonizing thing in the world
is unfulfilled desire.
Worldly frustration gave rise to Asuraville.
You can't reincarnate.
Travelling through time, you end up here
thanks to the strength of your obsession.
Obsession?
It's what you can't get or give up -
tormenting you with all kinds of resentment.
That's obsession.
That unsatisfied desire
concentrates itself in an object
that you arrive here with.
It's the symbol of your obsession.
True, this gourd's love potions torment me.
So how can I get out of here?
Come with me.
Since all suffering
comes from an attachment.
To stop suffering
let go of what you desire.
This pool of water
is called Release.
Dive in, and you'll escape.
It's as easy as that?
Of course.
The Pool of Release - it's amazing.
Enter and all things disappear -
that little obsession included.
But before jumping,
everyone hesitates.
See?
Why is that?
Because they see in the water
the very thing that torments them.
I'm not ready.
Give me more time. I'll pass that exam!
I'll pass it for sure.
So much sorrow, who can I tell
A misplaced love, and there I fell.
How to put aside
such beautiful infatuation -
In rain and wind I dwell.
Ha, fantastic!
The Peach Blossom Fairy has freed herself!
A piece of her soul
was attached to that jade.
Now it's over -
both attachment and soul are gone.
She's been cleansed of it all.
And so she's left Asuraville.
Why isn't my obsession clear to me?
It's because your memory is flawed.
Verta.
Blanca.
Whatever he looks like
whether he remembers me or not
I have to find him.
Because I remember.
Why must you remember?
Why? Why? Why...
You want to take the leap?
You'll leave Asuraville if you do.
You'll forget the person in the pool.
Your memory gone, you'll be released.
It's hard to jump.
I knew you wouldn't.
If you're in Asuraville
it's because you can't let go.
Goodbye.
I guess that's it, then.
Another kalpa!
And it's not even 24 hours!
Run, it's coming our way!
Let's go!
These kalpa, what are they?
Cycles of calamity.
Asuraville inhaling and exhaling.
Between breaths,
it tries to elminate whoever won't leave.
Hurry, to the Pool of Release
Hurry,
Verta, hurry!
Hurry, get in!
Hurry!
My brush!
No, no...
If you don't cut off their heads
you can't kill them.
Our supplies were burnt.
We have to walk back.
Are you okay?
Yeah.
Simon, why don't we take him with us.
Why did the guy you saved
turn around and hurt you?
This is Asuraville.
You think you're a Bodhisattva?
You have a Bodhisattva's special powers?
You're just a bad imitation.
His heart's good, but he's weak
and he hurts others, including himself.
I've seen people like this.
But he still saved me.
Let's take him back to Raksha territory.
I can't take in someone without a face.
A man wich such a face, walking in Asuraville
a perfect fit.
Okay,
I'll take him.
Where are the Rakshas?
Something's wrong.
We'll go the back way.
Go, get out of here!
I'll take you all on!
Let's go.
3rd Lieut.!
Today all you Rakshas die!
Where's Simon?
You missed him.
He'll be back for revenge.
Victory!
Today, the defeat of the Rakshas
owes much to your efforts.
Out with the old, in with the new - heaven's law.
The city of Asuraville, the form of a moment.
Life is brief, kalpas run their course.
Rise. You are now Defenders.
Let all see the new faces you chose
Victory! Victory!Victory!
I'll rise again.
Just wait and see.
A flood kalpa! Run!
Hurry, that door.
He's a burden!
Verta, let's flee this place.
Hand in hand, we'll rise again.
One day,
we'll escape Asuraville.
Don't worry about me.
Go.
Simon!
Simon?
Simon!
Verta, if this is how it is
you've become a burden too.
Simon!
Strong or weak, men are all the same.
When it comes to the crunch,
they run.
Why did I end up in Asuraville?
I've struggled at death's door.
But what's the point in resisting?
It's only to know
what the world is like.
Blanca... Blanca!
Verta, Verta!
Maybe to get bitten by these creatures
and lose all consciousness
would be a kind of release.
Verta!
look at me!
Verta,
Keep going!
Blanca!
You're Blanca!
Careful.
Blanca -
It's another twilight.
How many have we seen together?
You don't recall
being trapped under the pagoda?
How did you escape?
Who are you?
Why are you in a man's body?
Of my past, I've no memory.
All I recall is crossing a road.
The light changed.
There was a truck.
I flew into the air.
Time seemed to stop.
What happened?
Why was I still in the air?
Couldn't be. Someone was waiting for me.
Time stopped.
I know the feeling.
Then my face hit the ground.
When I came to,
I was lying on concrete.
There was fire all around, everywhere.
And I arrived here
this bone flute in my hands.
I still don't know
why this represents my obsession.
All I know is I have to leave here.
I need to find that person,
whose faint image
I saw in the pool.
Asuraville.
It's like the outside world.
Only the strong survive.
My sister loved a man whose heart
was greater than his ability.
So I thought,
if I ever fall in love
it will be with someone strong,
who'd protect me in times of trouble.
I came to Asuraville, and met Simon.
But he's just another selfish man.
In the face of danger,
he lies and sells you out. Same old story.
So maybe my sister was right.
In the end, strength is irrelevant.
Maybe
if his heart is true, that's enough.
You don't remember me.
So when I got here,
why'd you save me?
I can't explain it.
I just knew I had to do it.
No matter how dangerous it was.
Really, it was like that.
I saw you.
You felt so familiar.
Early on you forgot,
but then seemed to remember.
I understand.
Blanca -
in any case, you're here in Asuraville.
And we're together again.
It's great.
The boss of All-Good Market -
does she have other ways of leaving?
In all Asuraville
only she came of her own accord.
She knows the way out for sure.
Will she help us?
I heard she came to Asuraville
because the people and demons here
all have something she wants.
She's a merchant.
It's true, I'm a merchant.
You want to leave Asuraville,
but can you give me what I want?
What do you want? Name it.
Come.
In the human world, I run a small business.
It's a workshop.
That little workshop has smelters
that need lots of fuel every day.
That fuel comes from your obsessions.
The stronger they are, the harder they burn.
What I want from both of you
are your obsessions.
Just before you got here
a disillusioned soul, at the end of his rope,
came to do business with me.
He also wants to leave Asuraville.
Verta!
Simon!
Do you have a grudge against Simon?
No.
Simon,
have you thought it through?
Do it.
There's another way to leave.
Wish Bridge.
Although it's hard
There are advantages.
You escape intact from Auraville
with your body and memories.
Simon's choice
was of course that one.
His obsession was fierce
and thus excellent fuel.
If I take this obsession
the drive to compete will fade.
You'll be weak.
Would you be willing?
Strong or weak, what does it matter?
So long as we can leave Asuraville
and be together for a while
I'll do anything.
And you?
Of course I'm willing.
Good, it's a deal.
Look -
Asuraville is shaped like a snake.
Its head and tail almost meet.
The intriguing thing is
that the tail
is where the evil spirits nest.
Even more amazing -
The snake's tail, at times
grows a little bridge at its tip.
That's Wish Bridge.
If you jump from there
into the snake's mouth.
You leave Asuraville.
You have to take care with the jump.
You've got only one moment to do it in.
When's that?
Little demon,
I'm a businesswoman. When the deal's done
I'll tell you.
Since we've met before,
even if the deal can't be done
I'll let you in on a secret anyway -
about the timing of the bridge.
Bull... Bullheads!
They only just destroyed the Rakshas
and already they're smashing up my market?
Raise the iron chains!
Cut it!
Attack that boat!
Take it.
Get up there!
Boss, the fire wrecked our defences.
Retreat to the Pool of Release?
Let's go.
Master Simon, your old friend is here.
Him? What does he want with this place?
He wants all of Asuraville.
That was fast.
Master Simon, sorry, we're trapped.
Boss - this Wish Bridge -
I'm afraid I won't make it.
But I still need to thank you.
It's amazing, but shedding my obsession
gave me instant joy.
Just business, no need to thank me.
Verta, I'm sorry about before.
Goodbye for now.
Simon, today we'll finish this.
Finish?
How do you know this is the end?
Simon!
Careful!
Blanca!
Blanca?
Today, I've united all Asuraville.
Boss,
why won't a talent like you join me?
To join you
one has to lock on a human skin mask.
Boss -
Know how I found you so quickly?
Everyone here knows
that if you put on this mask
you can change your appearance
into anything you want,
but few know
the mask has another little use.
It gives off a faint smell.
Wherever he goes,
I can track him down.
The market's layout was clear as day.
You did very well this time.
It was worth saving you. You earned your mask.
And saved your life.
Blanca?
Only after unhooking his mask
did I realise this famous knight errant
was our master's spy.
Our master is a great strategist.
You're not Blanca?
Who are you, really?
You liar!
How'd I believe you were Blanca...
Put on this human skin mask
and rise - a Defender.
The city of Asuraville, the form of a moment.
Life is brief.
Kalpas run their course.
Victory! Victory! Victory!
He's changing back to his human face?
Doesn't he want to become a Defender?
I just realised,
to give face but get rejected
that's so embarrassing
Let me tell you something:
when a kalpa begins
throw yourself in!
I give you this Pool of Release.
Verta!
Leader!
Verta!
Verta,
Who are you really...
who are you?
When I first got to Asuraville,
I had no memory and a ruined face.
The Bullhead master saved me.
He gave me
my life.
But the day I saw you -
I don't know why, I...
Then, in the Pool of Release
I saw that face.
You called her Blanca.
While in the tunnel I thought
if I changed to look like Blanca
maybe you'd listen to me.
But you're not her!
No, I'm not.
Nor am I strong enough
to protect you in Asuraville.
Strength doesn't matter.
The strong can lie, as can the weak.
But you know,
I understand I made a mistake.
Why do I always rely on others?
Weak or strong, they'll all hurt you.
It's better for me to strengthen myself.
Don't apologise. It's my mistake.
I should've known
I can only rely on myself.
I won't free myself from obsession.
Nor will I rely on anyone else again.
If I'm strong enough,
I'll Kill Fahai myself,
overturn that pagoda
and release myself from Asuraville!
At the pool,
why'd you change back to Blanca?
I...
Let's go.
At the pool, that fox told me
the secret of Wish Bridge.
What makes the bridge grow
is Asuraville's black wind tunnel.
The tunnel is a place of karmic testing.
If you can survive its many torments
you achieve release.
A path extends from the serpent's tail.
That's Wish Bridge.
We're here. This is it.
Hurry!
Get in!
That fox really sticks her neck out.
Whatever.
I'll do it for her, and send you in.
Little Demon, know why you're in Asuraville?
Karma, twists of fate, hard to say for sure.
There's a reason for your fear and loathing.
And it's in that tunnel.
It's a trial by fire.
A lapse of will and you burn to ash.
Sure you want to go?
It's fear and loathing
I need to understand.
Right. Look after yourself.
Thanks.
I'm going in.
Verta! Vertal!
What's in there?
Fahai.
How long was I in there?
Only a moment. Then you came flying out.
It's an empty landscape
and I was there for two hours.
What?
I'm going in.
You're back, little demon.
Stinking monk.
I've wiped out so much evil,
but some always gets away.
Little demon, you should release yourself from obsession.
No way.
He's connected to you!
Living things shouldn't be trapped by desire
but release themselves through reincarnation.
This city shouldn't exist.
I gave him a golden aura as a talisman
to help him conquer Asuraville.
So he could kill those who wouldn't go.
Or force them to leave
and be reincarnated.
What reward did you give him
to make him a slave to your will?
When Asuraville is empty, it will collapse and disappear.
I'll stop him from falling into Hell
and keep him whole
so he can go back to his world.
Little demon,
You should release yourself too.
Everything I do is to help people into the next life.
I don't need release, or your help.
Verta!
Don't come here.
I'm okay.
Little demon, years have passed.
When will you stop?
When I've defeated you
and toppled the tower!
Verta!
Your flute.
Too tight?
It's fine.
It's been twenty years, little demon.
You've never stopped harassing me.
Not until you're overthrown
and the pagoda is toppled.
Dharma is all-embracing, but things do end.
Not all that is sought is granted.
That applies to me too.
I am powerless.
Good will prevail.
Verta!
We can leave Asuraville.
When kalpa begins, throw yourself in.
20 years inside is one day outside.
You're free of your karma.
Asuraville won't keep you any longer.
Go, little demon.
My golden aura!
You tricked me, Monk!
You tricked me!
Wish Bridge!
The Fox said
when kalpa begins, throw yourself in.
What should I call you?
I really don't remember my name.
Call me what you like. It's only a name.
Sure, it's only a name.
From here, I'm going to find my sister.
You can go look for
the person you saw in the pool.
Let's go!
Hurry!
A kalpa is rising! A gas kalpa!
Help me...
Hurry, help me!
Verta!
Jump!
Hurry!
The bridge is collapsing, hurry!
I still haven't turned.
Hang on.
I want to leave.
I can't change, I can't.
I have to be able to get out.
Quick!
I can go back, I can go back.
Jump in...
I'll be saved
and go back home.
Hurry!
You!
Why?
Why'd you let him bite you?
No!
No! No!
No!
Don't
Verta,
I can't leave Asuraville.
Tell me why! Why!
It was the day the insects awakened
and petals filled the air
like now.
I see the face
in the water clearly now.
Blanca! Blanca!
HANGZHOU
I left Asuraville
and returned to the world of desire.
That person in Asuraville.
But no one knows where
Asuraville is in the world.
And there's my sister, too.
Leifeng Pagoda has crumbled.
And her?
Grandpa, that tower, is it Leifeng Pagoda?
Ah, yes.
It didn't fall? It's still standing?
No. It was rebuilt recently.
Were you away? Everyone knows that.
The old pagoda collapsed long ago.
Collapsed?
Yes, if it had really trapped White Snake
she'd have been free years ago.
Maybe she cleansed her karma and has been reincarnated.
She could be anywhere.
You should go see the exhibition there.
After the pagoda fell, they found things -
treasures they've put on display.
Come, look at this here.
Now here is a mystery of the tower.
It's a hairpin.
Correct, it's a hairpin.
Notice it's an ancient hairpin,
but this hairpin
is made of bone.
But why was it under the tower
and why was it broken?
Where's the missing piece?
Sister -
You don't remember anything about
being trapped under the pagoda.
How did you escape?
I remember nothing of my past.
When I first got to Asuraville
I had no memory and a ruined face.
There was fire all around.
You don't remember me. So why save me?
I'm not sure.
But I felt I had to save you.
You seemed like someone close to me.
And that bone flute in my hand -
I still don't know
why it was my object of obsession?
Blanca?
That person in Asuraville -
it was you, right?
You escaped -
and also went to Asuraville.
Today insects awaken, spring begins.
We two snake sisters
will overturn Jinshan Temple.
Sister -
Verta, keep on going!
Blanca!
Why isn't my obsession clear to me?
I need to find that person,
whose faint image I saw in the pool.
Why? Why?
The day insects awakened,
and petals filled the air
like now.
I saw clearly the face in the pool.
The day insects awakened,
petals filled the air.
Blanca,
all along you were looking
for me.
What do you want? Name it.
You forgot your past life and much of this one too
but you seem to remember something.
I understand.
I have to leave here.
There's someone waiting for me.
What should I call you?
I really don't remember my name.
Call me what you like.
It's only a name.
From here, I'm going to find my sister.
You can go looking
for the one you saw in the Pool of Release.
Verta?
Blanca.
Flowers fill the air
So many seasons
So many sunsets
By so many cliffs.
Will the flower lend me its petals
And scatter me into the sky
Heaven and earth
I search and search
How many broken promises
Wind plays the string of the kite
Through the darkness
I peer
And there you are.
Moonlight through windows shone
Closed eyes, along spring rivers I roam
Those joyous memories
Fated or not, remain in the heart.
Flowers fill the air
So many seasons
So many sunsets
By so many cliffs.
For whom do the petals bloom and die
So much has happened
When oh when
Will I see you again
Sunsets tint my thoughts a rosy hue
The flowers don't answer me
When I ask when I'll see you again
To share the petal-filled sky
Another thousand years!
And the thing?
My enemy is in sight.
Revenge is mine!
Twixt autumn chill and autumn heat
I press close against your side
and watch time dance on silent feet.
Red leaves caught in the breeze
Like my thoughts, flying
How much love the world contains
In this floating life, so much change
With lovers just be joyous and free
Don't ask if it's meant to be
How much love the world contains
In this floating life, so much change
With lovers just be joyous and free
Don't ask if it's meant to be
How much love the world contains
In this floating life, so much change
With lovers just be joyous and free
Don't ask if it's meant to be
How much love the world contains
In this floating life, so much change
With lovers just be joyous and free
Don't ask if it's meant to be
Like willow fronds, like a fresh breeze
Pass this spring together with me
Head in the clouds
Warmth in the heart
As the spring rains fall all round.
