On the day of the "Snow Girl" blizzard, the youth (Zhong Dai Seiya) met the beautiful Snow Girl on the mountain (decorated by an Yuzi). The snow girl adores the young man and forgives him not to die, but the youth must not tell outsiders about this encounter. The blind monk Fangyi (Takashi Nakamura) appreciates even ghosts when playing and singing the pipa in the Story without ears, but frequent contact with ghosts is bound to damage Yangshou. The elders in the temple decided to save Fangyi. "in the teacup" inside the samurai pass (played by the right door of Nakamura) when drinking tea, he found the face of a stranger in the tea bowl. He broke the tea bowl, but attracted an uninvited guest.
