【ENG】Mad Monk: The Legend of Shadow Demon | Costume Movie | Drama | China Movie Channel ENGLISH

I thought Buddha didn't judge people by their social class. This is irritating. Fine. I won't go in if I'm not allowed to. What's irritating is you, not the Buddha. The five precepts and ten types of kindness lie at the foundation of all Buddhist practice. You are the Awareness Arhat, a follower of Buddha. Yet you drink all the time. It's against Buddhist rules. Anyway, with... a liquor bottle in my hand, I get to enjoy the best of the world. See you later. Hold on. What is that? This is a treas

ure. I've told you. It's a treasure. It's nothing more than a regular bag. This is the Heaven and Earth Bag I got from a thousand years of cultivation. I carry this bag with me when I travel in the human world. It can hold everything in this world. It can hold everything? Can it hold humanity? No. What about hardships? No. Now I get it. So, it can hold the ways of the world and all kinds of experiences, right? No. Hey, you heavyset monk, you told me this bag has reached consummation, but it can'

t hold anything I just mentioned. You were lying. It's just a regular bag after all. Isn't it too heavy to carry it around with you? Turns out, my thousand years of cultivation ended up a waste. You stupid bag, you'd better learn to hold something useful. Are you going to have an audience with Buddha wearing like this? "Mad Monk: The Legend of Shadow Demon" A brief nap in Heaven equals ten years in the human world. I'll go check out what's held in that bag. The early bird gets the worm. You are

such a go-getter. I'll go to fry some rice for you right now. Raven, look, I've given you the best I have. I'm nice to you, aren't I? As for me, my pocket is empty, so is my stomach. I'm a pauper indeed. Raven, based on my years of survival experiences, the adults aren't to be trusted. They all take us kids as fools. But, we can also take advantage of that and fool them back. Do you know what "fool them back" means? To make them look confused just as you are. Get pumped up. We've got business to

do. Sir, sir, may you make a fortune today. Look, my myna can talk and read fortune for people. Would you pay me for a lucky reading? Go away. I haven't even started my business yet. Hurry, say something nice to this gentleman. You little turd. You want a beating? It's early morning, and you bring a raven here to annoy me. Get lost. It's not a raven. It's a myna. How could it be a raven? Sir, you'll be in trouble later. Otherwise, it wouldn't cry like a raven. Don't you think I'm right? You stu

pid, rude kid. Help! He's going to hurt me! Everybody, look. He's going to hurt me. Ouch. Help! He'll hurt me. Help. -So dirty. -He'll hurt me. Don't run. Guys, he'll hurt me. Help! Help! Help! He steals! He steals! Where's my money bag? Like I said. This myna can talk. Pauper is a thief. Pauper is a thief. My roast duck! Get him. He's a thief. Catch him. What's going on? I'm not sure. They are going after a thief. Oh, yeah? (Yuelai Inn) Just leave. Go. Go home. Innkeeper. Just go. For the sake

that I've worked for you for dozens of years, please let me stay. Go home. Yuelai Inn doesn't hire waiters who can't even hold a tea cup. A waiter. A waiter. (Fireworks Shop) Play fireworks. Come on. Come on. Put out the fire. The fire is so big. With this situation, no one can control the fire except god. My Lord, put out the fire. What... What are you doing? It's on fire. Put out the fire. Piss off. What the heck are you doing? Look, you zodiac sign is dragon. And you are holding a cup of wate

r. Who else could be more suitable than you to put out the fire? You... See? It's raining. It's raining. It's raining tea. You are a living Buddha. I'm not... A living Buddha. A living Buddha. A living Buddha. A living Buddha. A living Buddha. My money. My money. My money. My money. Heaven, what's wrong with you? Can't you see it? A mad monk like him is touted to be a living Buddha, while no one cares about my misery. A living Buddha. If you are really a living Buddha, why do you ignore my pain?

Just... Just because I'm a waiter? A waiter. I'm a waiter. A waiter. Raven, I haven't eaten for two days. The starvation gives me dizziness. What should I do? Raven, I have a trick to show you. Do you want to see? No. Then I'll turn you into a roast duck. Do you believe it? I don't. Alright, I believe you. It's too late. You think you aren't a bird anymore just because you can talk like a myna? You ungrateful feathery jerk. You betrayed me last time. I feed you every day, and I treat you like a

buddy. But you stabbed me in the back. Let's see... Master, help me! Master? Pauper, you are the ungrateful one. Instead of correcting your ways, you made more mistakes. Oh, I see. Turns out, you are the one who's tricking me. I'm not tricking you. I'm here to guide your way. Got it? You've been lost for too long, and you've forgotten who you are. I don't understand. Filling my stomach is all I care about. Pauper, you are really going to eat this raven who's been through thick and thin with you

? Through thick and thin. Through thick and thin. I won't eat it alone. Let's share it. And then, we'll part ways. Stop bothering me. No one can eat it. The raven has its own fate. It's not for filling your stomach. Got it? Raven brings bad luck. It's bad. I'm doing people a favor by eating it. Doing people a favor? What favor? Pauper. The raven becomes a spirit. Pauper. The raven becomes a spirit. Pauper. Pauper. I'm exhausted. So, you are just a raven. Eat me if you dare. You'll get choked on

the egg. Who are you? Why did you steal my egg? That's liquor. My egg. Don't run. I'm so exhausted. Even a raven turned into a spirit. Can the good still survive in this world? Pauper. Pauper. Oh, no. The world is even smaller for enemies. Pauper. Pauper. Pauper. Raven, you've gone after me all the way here. What more do you want? You became a spirit because I fed you rice, right? But my master asks me to follow you. I must do what he says. This damn monk. I must've offended him in my last life.

Why is my life this hard? Fine, since you won't leave me alone, I'll show you what I've got. Careful. You'll fall into the water. Come back. Your boat will turn over. Shut your mouth, you jinx. Nothing good can come out of a raven's mouth. Don't tell me it's really gonna happen. Your boat is sinking. Shut your mouth. Monk, please take me in. Pauper. Monk, please tell me what to do. I can't live like this anymore. Everything has its vanquisher for sure. You are willing to cultivate with me? Anyt

hing you say. As long as you can let this raven shut her mouth, I'm willing to do anything for you. Master, we are out of food. Master, you asked me to cultivate with you. I'm chanting scriptures here. Please go and beg for some food yourself. Pauper, you lazy bone. You... Master, you can ask me to do anything, but don't let this raven talk. Every time she talks, bad things happen to me. You know what? This raven is like your shadow. There's no way you can get rid of her. Unless you can carry "k

indness" with you. But I can't put "kindness" in my pocket. You choose your own paths. Here's an idea for you. You may go out with the raven right now. And try to fill your stomach without stealing or cheating. How's that sound? Master, you literally want to starve me to death. I'm not good at anything but stealing. Starve to death? Then change your ways. Even the raven can turn into a phoenix. Since she can change, you can change, too. If you correct your ways, you'll have a bright future. Rave

n, you can go with me. But, don't say anything bad or ominous. I can't talk even if I see something? No. Neither can you if you think of something. Understood? What if a basket is about to fall on your head? Don't say that. An easy job for immortals is backbreaking for mortals. I don't believe that I can survive on being kind. Pauper, what did you say? I was chanting scriptures. Raven, be honest, I treated you very well these years, right? Not really. You wanted to eat me. That was because I was

too starve to think straight. Let bygones be bygones. It's better to make friends than to make enemies. What do you want? Let's pick up our old business. I won't do that anymore. Pauper, people will beat you up if you steal. You want roast duck. Roast duck... Come back. Stop. Where is she? Raven. Little raven. A gold bracelet. Pauper! Pauper! Pauper! Pauper! Pauper! Pauper! Pauper! Pauper! Pauper! Pauper! Pauper. Are you okay? Pauper, wake up. Pauper. Master, I think Pauper is dead. Raven, stop

talking nonsense. Pauper, hadn't been for your innate sturdy body, you would've turned into a puddle. Master, what kinda demon is that? Why is it so powerful? It's not a demon since there's no demonic energy. Maybe some immortal wanted to teach you a lesson. Why is everybody against me? I only want to fill my stomach. Evildoers are bound to be punished. Not everybody relies on stealing to fill their stomachs. The others all have parents. I don't. I would've been long dead if I hadn't stolen. I

was born to be a thief. I can't do anything but stealing stuff. Pauper. Many people do bad things. Why do they never get punished? I only want to fill my stomach, and I get punished for it. It's because you don't know who you are and what you are capable of. What am I capable of? You've got great power in you. It'll be a blessing to people if you do good things. And it'll be a disaster if you take the wrong path. Who are you? I'm your master. Old monk, if you are this powerful, why are you being

a monk? And you look so messy. It's because I'm destined to be a monk. It's surely difficult to discipline you. You didn't turn into a tree? Why would I turn into a tree? Don't you think that's too troublesome? By the way, master, immortals can do magic arts, right? Could you teach me? Once I learned how to do magic arts, I don't have to steal anymore. That's not gonna happen. You haven't gained insights into the Dao. You got to practice harder. Got it? Master, practice what? You've got all kin

ds of weird thoughts in your head. You need to get rid of them. Master, how am I supposed to do it? Correct your ways. Stop stealing. Get rid of the useless thoughts. Hey, what are you doing? You are also trying to trick me. I learned it from master. Why are you looking so depressed? -Pauper. -Master. Alright. I won't steal anymore. But I can't control my hands. I can't help myself when I see something nice. That's easy. Raven will keep an eye on you. She'll keep an eye on me? I can control your

hands. See? Then... Then... Then, master, if my hands are controlled, how am I supposed to earn a living? Figure it out yourself. I'm leaving now. Raven. Raven. Sir, I worked very hard to clean all those dishes. You only paid me this little? Our Yuelai Inn is the largest inn in the country. We own 72 chains nationwide. If you want to make more and afford nice things, why don't you open an inn yourself? You... Hey, waiter. More liquor, please. Coming. (Yuelai Inn) I cleaned 100 dishes, yet I sti

ll can't afford a bowl of rice. Life is so hard. Master asked me to correct my ways. Before I corrected my ways, I was Pauper, the notorious thief whom everybody knew. After I corrected my ways, I became a dishwasher in Yuelai Inn. Raven, do you think it's worth it? You are just a silly bird. There's no use to ask you. Watch your steps, sir. I'm fine. All right, all right, go about your business. Sir, are you here to eat or get a room? It's so crowded here. Sir, this way, please. Pour me some li

quor. What's your job here? I'm the new waiter. Sir. What can you do? I can do chores, and I can recite the menu. You can recite the menu? Yes, sir. I want to hear it. Alright, here we go. Yuelai Inn has a diverse menu. We have chili oil topping rabbit, perilla fish. quick fried crabs, stir fried clams, eel with pork lung and stomach, stewed chicken... stewed chicken... What's your name? Sir, you can just call me waiter. You don't have a name? I do legwork only. What do I need a name for? The cu

stomers are used to calling us waiter. Waiter is fine. Call you waiter? Waiter, waiter... You don't even have a name. Then what's your purpose of living? Remember to get yourself a name in your next life. Where there's an underworld, there's a Yuelai Inn. And where there's a Yuelai Inn, there's a waiter. The shadow always stays behind the halo. Today, I'm here to tell all shadows that they don't have to live in darkness all the time. Bad news. Bad news. There's a demon. Run. Run, raven. Open the

door. Open the door. Raven. Hurry. Run. Hurry. (Yuelai Inn) (Yuelai Inn) (Yuelai Inn) This demon can travel along with sand, and nothing can stop it. What kind of demon is that? Master, it's a sand demon. A sand demon. What sand demon? Sand is composed of numerous grains. If they all turned into demons, how many would there be? Master, what should we do then? This demon has something to do with Yuelai Inn. Let's go and take a look. Let's go. (Yuelai Inn) We are late. Master, he's mimicking you.

Who are you? I'm... Who am I? Who am I? Sir, are you here to eat or get a room? Our inn is famous and has a diverse menu. What do you want to eat? Please come inside first. Look, we have braised pork balls, whole boiled chicken, sauteed vermicelli with minced port, assorted hotpot, stewed chicken, stewed pork, fried shrimp. What do you want to eat? Just name it. We have all kinds of dishes including poultry, seafood, and livestock meat. Feel free to tell me what you want. Sir, please come in. S

o, you are a waiter, huh? But you don't look like a waiter to me. Pauper. Pauper. Who the heck are you? You even know the Great Book of Mount Lingshan and animitta and three mysteries? Monk, you are fond of teaching others, yet you don't seem to know your real identity. When you find out who you are, you'll know who I am. You can't restrain me. Wouldn't it be better if we part ways? You hurt innocent people. How can I let you? So, what are you gonna do? I know what you know, and I can do what yo

u can. You can't control me anyway. There's nothing you can do. Then I'll test your strength and see what you've got. Master. (Follow me.) Sand Demon. You knew it was me. Stop pretending. I've seen so many people. I can tell what kind of person you are. You've got a good eye. You are smart and cunning. I don't believe that mad monk can fool you. But I have to submit to him since I'm at a disadvantage now. By the way, between you and my master, who is more powerful? Good question. Like something

you'd ask, Pauper. In fact, that mad monk isn't good enough to be your master. There's only one person in this world worthy of being your master. Is it you? You've got great power in you. That monk told me the same. But he won't let you use this. Pauper, put this on, and you'll be able to use your full power. You can get whatever you want. Nobody in this world dares to look down upon you anymore. Take back everything that you've lost. But I haven't lost much. I live a good life. You were abandon

ed by your parents right after you were born. You lost everything you could've had. Please have mercy. I'm begging you. Thank you! Thanks! You are so kind! You led a miserable life with the old beggar and you suffered a lot. Pauper, you've grown up. Don't cry. Be strong. Try your best to fill your stomach. Dad. Dad. Dad, wake up. Dad. Dad. Pauper, you've been living a hard life. Has anybody ever cared about you or looked after you? And now, you finally got to make a living on your own, there cam

e a monk from nowhere and asked you to cultivate and do kind things. Who does he think he is? You woke up. Master said that demon escaped. He went after that demon. He asked us to stay at home. We don't have to work today. That monk is not his match at all. Pauper, what are you doing? Would you play with me? Raven, I need to practice magic arts. Raven, don't tell that old monk, or I'll turn you back into a raven. I am a raven. You... Fine. Anyway, just shut your mouth. Bad luck will befall you i

f you do bad things. If I can take everything... Pauper, what happened to you? What? I wanted to wash my face. I don't believe that I can't make it. Pauper. Pauper. You stole again. I'll tell master. You... Don't. Pauper, let me out. Pauper. Pauper, let me out. Let me out. Pauper. Let me out. (Pawnshop) (Pawnshop) The dishes are ready. Raven, I'm nice to you, aren't I? This is called sticking together through thick and thin. You disobeyed master. And you put me in your pocket. I won't talk to yo

u anymore. Raven, think about it. You starve all the time with that old monk. If you listen to me and stop talking nonsense, I promise that you'll be well fed from now on. I eat rice only. Then I'll go buy you a new dress later. I don't need it. My feathers can turn into a dress. Hmph, you are boring. (Tavern) Master. Pauper. Master. You... Why are we here? I have my reasons. (Yuelai Inn) (Mahavira Hall) Master, Pauper won't come back anymore, right? It's up to him. Since Pauper is gone, you'll

turn me back into a raven, right? What are you thinking there? You asked me to follow Pauper. But Pauper is gone. So, you don't need me anymore. There must be a reason for you to be here. If one day you turn back into a raven again, it's your own fate. It's not something I can control. Then what about Pauper? You'll just leave him be? He's become a target of that demon. Pauper turned evil now. I won't talk to him anymore. It's because I overestimated myself. I guess Pauper has his own destiny, t

oo. I wanted to help him make a change, but I ended up putting both of us in trouble. Master, so, you'll leave that demon alone? He's neither human nor spirit nor immortal nor Buddha. But I'm sure there's a reason for him to appear in this world. But what do you think that reason is? Why don't we catch him and ask him? It's easier said than done. Then let's find Pauper. I'll convince him to put that bad guy in his pocket, since he could put me in his pocket. I guess this demon wants to use Paupe

r to restrain me. How can we find them? Master, I can pick up Pauper's scent. Lift! Old monk, why are bothering me again? The good and the evil exist together, right? Hadn't been for you, I wouldn't have come a long way to this remote area. I came here because of you. Pauper. Pauper. Pauper. What are you waiting for? Do you want to lose everything? Pauper. Master. Master. I totally failed this time. Even my magic fan was taken. And my shadow is gone, too. I know what you know, and I can do what

you can. You can't control me anyway. A living Buddha. A living Buddha is here. A living Buddha is here. A living Buddha is here. My money. Old man, get out of the way. My money. My money. Oh, gosh. There's still a place available. Heaven is nice to me. It fits me perfectly. Looks like Heaven made it for me especially. I got carried away. And because of that, I lost my shadow. The shadow combined with the old waiter's grudge and turned into a sand demon. Dishes are ready. Raven. Raven. Raven, th

ese are very delicious. Try them. Why don't you eat? Come on. You want me to catch you some worms? No. Raven, do you think I'll fall or not? Will bad things happen to me? Raven, please say something. Say a word, okay? It feels horrible being ignored, doesn't it? Where are you going? Raven, what are you looking at? Pauper, please turn me back into a raven. I'll eat if you turn me into a raven. You don't want to be a human anymore? You don't want to turn into a phoenix anymore? I'm a raven to begi

n with. It's nice to be a raven. That's easy. If you are tired of being a human, then stop being one. Raven. Raven. So strange. What's so strange? It's called "reverse-feeding." What's "reverse-feeding"? A mother raven used to feed its baby this way. When the mother raven is too old to find food itself, the baby raven would provide food to its mother and feed her mouth-to-mouth. And that's "reverse-feeding." It's ravens' nature. What's nature? It's something innate that doesn't need to be taught

. Just like your nature is stealing stuff. "Reverse-feeding." (Yuelai Inn) Raven is gone. So boring. Now I'm full, but I have nothing to do. You have me. You can do anything you want. The whole world is yours. If you want, you can swallow the entire Hangzhou City in your belly. Your witchcraft is powerful. Why didn't you make a imperial palace instead of a Yuelai Inn? I... I only know Yuelai Inn. So, you are against everybody also because of Yuelai Inn? At least, I should fight for my dignity. W

hat do you want to do then? I'm not sure. Before, my stomach was empty. But now, my head is. Raven is gone. I'm bored. It's no fun. I'll go take a walk. Pauper. Raven. Raven. Raven. Raven. Pauper, time to eat. Pauper. -Come here. -Dad! Time to eat. Come on. Pauper. Get up. Look what I brought you today. Try it. Dad, you are back. Dad. Try it. Like it? Take it easy. Dad, have some. Okay. Good boy. Careful. It's hot. It's nice. It's nice. Dad. You are such a good son. My good boy. Pauper, everybod

y has his own value. And you weren't born to be a thief. Look, how nice it was when you were with your dad. But my dad died. A bad guy kicked him to death. But you've grown up. Everybody has his destiny in this world. Your dad fulfilled his, so he left. I also have mine? It has just begun. Pauper, don't listen to his nonsense. Don't you remember? Adults aren't to be trusted. Gentleman, a small act of kindness can change the world. The waiter had his own fate. Why are you being so stubborn? You m

ad monk, you play dumb every day, but everybody knows that you are an immortal. There's a halo above your head. Have you ever really felt for our pain? Pauper, see that? It's just a trick this monk played. Listen to me, other than the things you hold in your hands, nothing is real. Why did you let me see my dad? Pauper, I wasn't trying to trick you. I just wanted to arouse the good in your heart. Besides, when you dad was alive, he also hoped you could be a good man. Pauper's future is not your

concern. Pauper, let's go. Pauper. Master, will the old monk die? I won't let him die. If he dies, my power will be gone. And so will yours. The three of us can't survive without each other. Come on. (Lingyin Temple) May I please borrow your temple? Master, I hope you can guide me to the end of my path. I became a monk here, so it's a perfect ending for me to die here. I have no other choice. I got carried away, and the waiter's grudge took the chance and possessed my shadow. It turned into a sa

nd demon and is hurting innocent people. I can't control it anymore. I can only destroy my body. Otherwise, the sand demon won't disappear itself. I'm the one who has to die. Amitabha. No one will come to an inn this far away. (Mahavira Hall) The monk wants to end his path. I won't let him get his way. End his path? He'll die? Why is he doing this? Let me take him in. And we'll have no worries. It seems that your destiny hasn't been fulfilled yet. You can't end your path just yet. The sand demon

wants to take the entire Lingyin Temple into Heaven and Earth Bag, so that he can force me to show up. If I end my life now, I may be able to stop sand demon, but I can't stop Pauper. I brought it on myself indeed. Like this string of Buddhist beads, all living beings are connected to each other. Among them, few can see things clearly. "It's a range viewed in face and peaks viewed from the side, assuming different shapes viewed from far and wide." So, you are saying I can't get away from this w

hatsoever, right? No one can predict the future. When you look back one day, you'll see everything that happened was meant to be. Thank you for your advice. Amitabha. My pleasure. Monk. You are finally here. I guess you've known by now who I am and who you are. Then are you the waiter or shadow right now? I'm both. Fine. I'll take you as the waiter for now. I'm here to help you resolve your grudge, relieve your pain, and set you free. Okay? My grudge can't be resolved. Pauper, take him. Master.

Won't you listen to me? Take him. Pauper. Are you hungry? You can fill your stomach now. But are you happy? Do you remember the times when you felt happy? I do. I was happy when I was with my dad. I was happy when I was with raven and... Pauper, don't listen to his nonsense. He's tricking you. You've been a waiter for your whole life. Haven't you ever felt happy? You could recite 120 names of the dishes at once. You were the waiter in the famous Yuelai Inn. Wasn't that destiny good enough for yo

u? I humbled myself and I served people like a slave for one coin. Was being a nobody a good destiny? I don't want a destiny like that. You want to run an inn, but now, you are focusing on one coin only. You are only fighting yourself by doing this. Today I'll fight for my dignity. Raven. Raven. Raven. Wake up. Raven. Wake up. Raven. Raven. Wake up. Wake up. Raven. Raven. Shadow, you've got nowhere to run now. Hurry and return to where you belong. I'm enjoying myself. I'm your shadow. I know wha

t you know, and I can do what you can. You are me, and I am you. How can you defeat yourself? Then let's see. Pauper, take him. I don't want your stuff. How ungrateful. Without me, you are nothing. I lost. I've cultivated for thousands of years, yet I lost to a waiter. Are you satisfied now? You surrendered? I surrendered. Hold on. I, a waiter, defeated a living Buddha? Defeating me is your destiny. And being defeated by you is my destiny. (Yuelai Inn) All living beings are connected to each oth

er. I got carried away, and what you did helped me correct my ways. All you pursue in your life is a sense of satisfaction. You've fulfilled your destiny now. If you insist on being stubborn, You'll become nothing more than a wisp of soul in the bag, just like a grain of sand lost in this world. Pauper, wake up. Master, I think I had a dream. We all had a dream. Master said everybody was like a grain of sand in this world, and everybody had a place where they belonged. My friend raven was the be

st raven ever. She helped me find out who I really am. I am a cloth bag. So, I'll be a good cloth bag that holds stuff, that can bring out the good in me. I'm coming. Master.
