Taoist Priest Yu Ji (Cheng Tien-Chi) is asked to go to the people and perform miracles, healing them of sickness by pulling green slime from their bodies. He’s soon executed by General Sun Ce (Chiu Gwok) thanks to the advice of Prime Minister Xu Gong (Wong Lik), as neither wants the people worshipping a god on Earth. They need to get working in the fields, right? As for Yu Ji, his students find his body and reunite it with his severed head, bringing him back as a spirit.

It gets confusing — is Yu Ji supposed to be Jesus? Is the general a bad guy or is the prime minister? Was Chang Cheh trying to make movies like the new fantasy films that had taken over Hong Kong? Isn’t it cool how Yu Ji can become a woman, the possessed mistress, and cause so much craziness?

Taken from Romance of the Three Kingdoms, this would be the last film Cheh made for Shaw Brothers.
