Dark Tales

CHEUNG YU TANG always tries his best to stop LO KAM CHOI from hunting deer as he believes that deer are sacred animals. However CHOI needs deer blood to cure her father. TANG is a doctor. When he knows that MING and CHING's mother FUNG needs treatment, he goes to visit her and cures her without asking her to pay. CHOI hunts a strong deer. TANG saves it. Later Prince GOLD ARMOUR appears and thanks him. He also asks TANG to convince CHOI to stop hunting. CHOI ignores his advice and at last she dies in an accident. GOLD ARMOUR refuses to let CHOI be buried in his sphere of influence. TANG explains for her. When GOLD ARMOUR realises that CHOI needs deer blood to cure her father, he is touched. He gives Golden Lotus to cure CHOI.

CHOI’s mother and many others see CHOI in their dream. They see her carrying a bow and riding a horse. They think that CHOI wants to inspire them. CHOI’s mother is impressed as TANG prays for CHOI. CHOI’s maid TSUI visits TANG but she is stopped by FUNG. As it is MING's birthday, TANG visits them. FUNG is discontented as CHOI tries to spoil the banquet. CHOI warns FUNG that the Fung Shui of her house is so bad that she and her family should move out as soon as possible. TANG begs CHOI's mother to let him marry CHQI. FUNG is unhappy. LAU teaches TANG magic which allows CHOI to appear in front of him. FUNG places a Buddhist statue to spoil the plan. When FUNG knows that CHOI has saved her, she changes her attitude and suggests TANG to use the magic in the garden. CHOI appears and tells them that she is going to be given birth and leads a new life.

CHOI’s mother wants to give a house to TANG but FUNG disagrees. Instead she wants to save sufficient money to buy a new one. She sells bean curbs and TANG sells herbal medicine. At last after six months, they have enough money to purchase a new house and TANG marries FUNG. TANG begs his master to teach him to make sacred medicine which makes one to get old. He spends five years on collecting herbs and FUNG continues her business of selling bean curbs. After ten years, TANG still cannot produce the medicine. Knowing that he has only eight years left, TANG changes his plan. He decides to go to Shaolin Temple to learn "Yik Kang Scroll”.

TANG's attempts are in vain. His face is spoiled. Thus he tries to steal another scroll. His behaviour is discovered and he is driven away. He refuses to go home with FUNG. After eighteen years, TANG meets GOLD ARMOUR. GOLD ARMOUR leads him to Youth Spring. The water turns him into a young man again. When he goes home, no one can recognise him. When FUNG knows that TANG still loves CHOI, she is angry. She opens CHOI’s coffin and sets fire to it. She also jumps into the fire to kill herself.

CHOI gets her life again and she is called La HAM CHU. She likes playing swing but one day, she falls down from it and is hurt. When she wakes up, CHOI’s memory occupies her mind. In fact CHU has died and her spirit belongs to CHOI. TANG comes to find CHOI but is stopped by CHU's father. TANG breaks into the house. CHOI cannot recognise him as he is so young. When she realises that he is TANG, she is confused. Being frustrated, CHOI wants to kill herself. TANG is taken to the yamen where he is trounced. Suddenly he becomes old again ...
