Promoted
as backstory to the folk hero Ji Gong (probably to avoid distribution
problems as Beijing outlaws supernatural tales not based on Chinese mythology),
this one is really about a Buddhist monk, Butong, and Jade who were once
lovers in heaven, thus breaking a long-standing Celestial Dogma against
coupling. For punishment, they were doomed to spend the next 1000 years
in exile, apart from each other. Ninety-nine reincarnations later, Jade
is now searching for her long-lost lover known as the Golden Child.
But, he is totally oblivious because his memory had been wiped long ago.
She must kill a Tianshan Cyclops and use his eye discover Buton's identity
in this life. However, the reunion is threatened by an ancient powerful
demon and his daughters Spidey, Snakey and Kitty.
