Synopsis
The film is based on a short story in Strange Stories from a Chinese Studio, a collection of legendary and supernatural tales written by Pu Song-Ling and published in 1740. In the story, a young scholar named GU lives near a rundown mansion rumored to be haunted. One day, he befriends YANG, a mysterious beauty hiding inside the mansion. After a night of passion with GU, YANG reveals that her father, an honorable official, was executed by the nefarious but powerful Eunuch WEI. Now, she is also hounded by WEI’s agents, who attempt to eradicate all trace of her family. GU then finds himself caught up in her struggle to survive. When the agents attack the mansion, he devises brilliant tricks to crush the siege.
Though in love with GU, YANG leaves him after the battle to become a Buddhist nun, trying to leave her past behind. However, after realizing that GU is in danger, YANG and her mentor set out to protect him. The army commander sent by Eunuch WEI confronts the two, and a battle of carnage between good and evil ensues…

Synopsis
It is the middle of the Ming dynasty, and the loyal Minister of Defense YU has been executed by the emperor’s chief eunuch CAO. YU’s children have been sentenced to exile from China, but as they travel toward the empire’s western border, CAO dispatches two of his top agents from the secret police to kill them. Having reached Dragon Inn, located in the desolate land near the border, the agents and their henchmen prepare an ambush. Meanwhile, wandering swordsman XIAO has also found his way to the inn, followed by two other young swordsmen, the ZHU brothers. Suspecting the three were plotting to rescue YU’s children, the agents trick the newcomers into a fight in the dark of the night.
