A fantastical action-comedy rooted in Buddhist spirituality, blending supernatural spectacle with humor and martial arts across a haunted temple setting.

100 years after the events of the first film, Buddhist Bai Yun and his disciple Fong journey through a small town to transport a golden idol of Buddha. However, local thieves thwart their journey, forcing them to take shelter at the ghostly Orchid Temple.
