Subtitles brought to you by The Legend of White Snake Team @ Viki.com
I'm Bai Suzhen from Snake Valley in Mount Emei.
Seeing that we are of the same kind, I originally wanted to let you off.
- But you poisoned someone... - See how I will eliminate you today.
Don't, don't, don't.
I will certainly admit anything that I've done
But don't frame me for things I didn't do. When have I ever harmed any human?
You're still not admitting it?
You poisoned a married woman. I have already investigated it.
She was poisoned by your snake venom.
Was she that woman who asked for a protection talisman for her son?
You finally admit it now?
That was an accident.
Boss, have one.
Someone's here. Let's get into position.
Dear Goddess Nuwa, I pray for your protection and allow my son a long life.
Let Changsheng grow up healthily.
There's not much food in the house right now.
You probably wouldn't blame me for taking just a few, right?
Although rats took a bite out of this,
it's still okay. Let's keep this for my own consumption.
See, who did I harm or bother? She was the one who stole the altar food.
She ate what's left of my apple,
got poisoned by my snake venom, and you beat me up.
Tell me, am I being falsely accused or not?
Sorry, little brother. I was reckless.
That married woman is at death's door.
Please send some snake gall for her to neutralize the venom.
Don't worry. I'm the kindest young master.
I love to repay kindness.
Thank you, Little Brother. I have disturbed you.
Take care. I won't see you off.
She's such a silly snake.
Alms giver, I'm not here to beg.
Master, what instructions do you have then?
You set up your stall here daily. Have you encountered anything strange?
Since you asked, I recall something now.
Recently, many children went missing in Lin'an city.
All of them were the only child in their family.
It's an evildoing.
Everyone is saying that, they fear there is a demon in Lin'an city
who specializes in capturing children for food.
Looks like this demon is already in Lin'an city.
What's that smell? The smell of blood is very strong.
It smells similar to the evil odor from the other night.
This green snake is too vicious.
There is actually evil blood mixed into the antidote.
There's a demon.
This shouldn't be a problem anymore.
Where are you going, evil doer?!
How dare you misbehave here. I shall eliminate you today.
You've made a mistake.
How could I have made a mistake? Evil doer, accept death!
[ Jin Family Home ]
Young Mistress.
We are randomly entering Young Master Xu's bedroom. This is not a good idea.
But Ji Shi Pharmacy is owned by my family.
This is my house. What's wrong with it?
Rightly so, but this is the bedroom of a man who's an outsider.
I'm already an adult. Why are you talking so much?
If I were to lie down with disheveled clothes on this bed,
will my father agree to our marriage?
Young Mistress, you must not do this.
Your reputation will be hurt if it is not a union made with a matchmaker.
Hasn't CuiYingYing's nighttime meeting with ZhangSheng become a household tale for all time.
How can you believe the story in a romantic tale?
Go away, go away.
My Lady.
Let's see where you can run to.
My Lady! Amituofu.
Pervert! RuYi! RuYi!
Brother Hanwen, he was disrespectful to me.
Who are you?
Benefactor, please don't exaggerate.
I'm here to catch a demon. How could I have been disrespectful to you?
You took off my blanket. Isn't that being disrespectful to me?
Brother Hanwen.
This evil doer must be nearby. I must capture the monster.
Don't leave! Brother Hanwen, catch him!
Quickly, put on your clothes.
That stinky monk must have wanted to molest me. Go after him!
- Why are you so flustered? - Master.
- What are you doing? - There's a snake!
Go now.
Ruyi, what's wrong?
There's a snake.
Catch...catch it.
Don't make any noise.
Stand behind me.
What is that? Is the snake unconscious?
This is realgar. Snakes are afraid of realgar.
- Yinxiang. - Old Master.
How are you serving the young lady?
I spent two silver coins to buy you.
I provided you with good food and drinks.
You can't just enjoy life without doing work.
Master, someone lifted the blanket off from the young lady.
What?!q
You let a pervert lift your blanket?
You have been seen naked?
Father, I'm already so embarrassed. Why did you say it so loudly?
Master, it's not as serious as what Yinxiang said.
Even though that pervert attempted, but Ruyi reacted quickly
and did not let the pervert do anything.
This is more like it.
What were you doing in Xu Xian's bedroom?
Xu Xian, I'm warning you.
Don't have any ideas on our Ruyi.
My Ruyi will marry into a grand family in the future.
Teacher is right. Ruyi is like the moon in the sky.
I can only look and won't dare offend.
This is more like it.
My Ruyi is a stellar beauty
who is a kind and understanding good girl. She deserves
more than a royal or noble husband.
Rightly so.
Kill the snake and turn it into snake gall.
What intelligent eyes.
Could it be aware?
Leave. I won't harm you.
If Master were to ask me, I will say that I was careless and allowed you to escape.
He will just scold me harshly.
If I need a snake gall, I can use other medicines to replace it.
It's not necessary to harm your life.
Remember this. You must keep warm in the future.
Don't randomly go into someone's room too.
Swim and go back to your lake.
He's not that bad as I thought.
Sister-in-law's poisoning is strange.
I have already changed the formula for twelve kind of medicines.
There are still no improvements.
It would be good if Fairy Sister is here. She'll surely have a solution.
Silly child. There's never been a physician nicknamed Fairy Sister in the Jiangnan area.
She just said that in order to stall.
Who knows whether she would dare to come or not?
- Who says I wouldn't dare to come? - How did you come in?
Changsheng, doesn't your family lock the door?
It's clearly Physician Xu who forgot to lock the door when he came in.
Why blame the child?
Changsheng, this is the spiritual medicine for your mother. Go and feed it to her now.
What is this medicine made of? You can't have people consume random things.
Not telling you.
You...
Changsheng!
Changsheng.
-Physician Xu. -Sister-in-law, come.
Let me check your pulse.
This pulse...
The pulse was weak earlier, now it's beating strongly.
How is this possible?
Thank you, Physician Xu, for saving my life.
Mother, it was this fairy sister who saved you.
It is all thanks to Physician Xu using expensive ingredients in the medicine.
That's how my medicine was effective.
I am ashamed.
This lady is...
My family surname is Bai. I'm Changsheng's good friend.
I see, it's Miss Bai. Thank you for saving my life.
Don't mention it.
It's getting late.
Why don't you stay for a meal before you leave?
Okay. Uncle Xu and Older Sister Bai, stay here for a meal.
- Okay. - You should rest. I will cook.
How can a guest do this? I will do it.
Madam Yu, rest first. I will help him.
Okay, thank you.
You...even know how to cook?
Don't they say that a gentleman stays away from the kitchen?
One who stays away from the kitchen may not be a gentleman.
It's possible that he's a lazy person.
But cooking is just like being a physician.
We need to have skills with the knife and controlling fire, too.
The fire is not big enough. Help me to make the fire bigger.
Alright.
Since you always cook,
does that mean that you kill live creatures, too?
Why did you release that white snake then?
How did you know that I released a white snake?
You followed me?
Who followed you? I...I saw it from a distance, that's all.
Is the fire big enough?
Are you okay? Did you burn yourself?
I'm fine. As for you...
Do you always protect others like this?
Just like how you protected that snake.
You haven't told me why you released that snake.
There are many other methods to make snake gall.
It's not necessary to harm a life.
That little snake can also feel pain.
So it seems you just enjoy telling lies for fun,
you actually have a good nature.
What do you mean by that? I'm using genuine medical skills.
Moreover, I only give good medicines to others.
But you're claiming to be Huo Tuo. [A legendary physician during the late Han dynasty]
And that woman who sells tofu at Xi street calls herself Xi Shi. (One of the 4 great beauties in ancient China)
Miss, have you ever even walked out of your house?
Then, what about when you got someone to pretend to be a quack to hassle you?
That was because Madame Yu was still sick without a cure.
I needed to buy expensive medicinal ingredients to help her stay alive. I was forced to do what I did.
So, he did it to save someone. Looks like I blamed him by mistake.
But fortunately due to you, Madam Yu was able to live.
Miss, you are young, yet your medical skill is so advanced.
There must be a renowned physician in your family.
I would like to ask you, where's your master from?
I'm from Shu Zhong. Of course, my Master is from there so. [An ancient country destroyed by Qin state in current central Sichuan province)
Shu Zhong?
I know the names of renowned physicians in Shu Zhong.
Is your Master, Physician Cheng or Physician Meng?
My Master doesn't like to make himself known.
Hence, I can't tell you his name.
It seems he's an erudite hermit.
Miss, I would like to look at the medicine which you gave to Madam Yu.
I used all of it.
Time to eat.
Mr Xu, Miss Bai. Thank you so much.
Everyone, please try and see if it suits your taste.
Okay, come.
- Let me do it. - I will do it.
Thank you.
It's delicious.
Older Sister, why did you use your hands to eat? You're really...
My father once asked a Tibetan high monk to explain Buddhism. The monk said that
if one is given gourmet food, one should hold it in bare hands
to show gratitude and respect.
I forgot. Jiangnan doesn't have this custom.
I have actually heard about that custom in Tibet.
Can it be that on your journey to Lin'an, you have been eating in this manner?
This is the first time I'm eating cooked food.
What I mean is that...
I have been eating dry rations along the journey. This is my first meal in Lin'an.
I'm full. Enjoy yourself.
Are you eating only this much?
We have a rule not to eat after noon.
I already broke the rule.
Miss Bai, why don't you follow our custom?
No need. It's okay.
I'm used to eating very little.
Older Sister Bai, do you feel that Uncle Xu's food doesn't suit your taste?
I was negligent. Miss Bai must be used to food from her hometown.
She's not used to our Jiangnan's food which is bland.
Then there's a solution. The Lantern Festival will be here in a few days.
We will be able to try food from distance places.
Older Sister Bai will definitely be able to eat food from her hometown.
Lantern Festival?
I heard that the Lantern Festival in Lin'an has lanterns piled high like a mountain under the moonlight
and fine views of magnificent ornate jeweled carriages
Yes, it's very beautiful. Why don't Older Sister Bai and Uncle Xu go together.
Come, let's eat.
Miss Bai, I made a promise that if you win,
you can punish me as you wish.
I, Xu Xian, keep my promises.
If you didn't use expensive medicinal ingredients to keep Madam Yu alive,
she wouldn't have been able to wait for me to save her.
Therefore, this bet should considered to be even now.
Miss Bai, you are so fair and straight forward.
I misunderstood you in the past.
That day when you dressed like a man,
were you really just trying to persuade me to reform?
It's wrong to deceive others. I was thinking, if I made a bet and won,
you wouldn't deceive others again.
Okay, I promise you.
Starting from today, I will never do this again.
You are truly a good person.
Miss Bai, you are over-complimenting me. You are the one who is truly kind and compassionate.
By the way, I would like to seek guidance from you.
What illness did Madam Yu contracted? What medicine did you give her?
About this...
Actually, she was bitten by a rare poisonous snake.
This kind of poisonous snake is rarely seen in the central plains.
I was born in Shu Zhong. I'm used to seeing this kind of venom.
I used the method of using poison to attack the poison. If the dosage is right, it can neutralize the poison.
So that's how it is.
Using poison to neutralize poison. Brilliant medical skills.
Xu Xian, oh Xu Xian, how useless of you to think highly of your medical skills.
This time, you actually lost to Miss Bai.
Lantern Festival...isn't it a day in the human world for families to come together?
Mother...
Why is it that you still haven't come to meet me.
Qing'Er, Mother has an important matter to attend to.
I need to leave for some time. You should find a place filled with the essence of the sun and moon,
and properly cultivate.
Mother!
Waiter, more wine.
I'm coming!
Customer, here's your wine.
Customer, drinking solely wine is not as tasty.
Would you like to taste our specialty, snake only banquet?
Snake only banquet?
That's right! Snakes are actually wonderful ingredients. They're a treasure from head to tail.
Do you want to taste some?
You debone and skin a perfectly good snake just so people like you can satisfy your taste buds?
I don't want to eat a snake only banquet,
I want to eat a human only banquet.
De..de...demon!
Save me!
Stop! Stop killing innocent people!
I was wondering who was meddling in other people's business.
Turns out it's a monk.
Evil demon, you actually dare to murder publicly.
Today, I'm going to execute justice on heaven's behalf.
Execute justice on heaven's behalf?
I can care less!
Young Brother, run quickly!
Can this be
the thousand year old demon that Master mentioned?
[Peace and Tolerance]
Good!
Wonderful!
Once more!
Good!
Great!
Good!
More, more!
Brother HanWen
You look at these medicinal ingredients all day long. Don't you get bored?
How about coming with me to the Lantern Festival?
The Lantern Festival is the same every year. I can solve all of the riddles they come up with.
But no one can solve the riddles I pose.
Why don't you ask YinXiang to go with you.
YinXiang?
She doesn't even recognize words, how can I count on her to help me guess the riddles?
If you don't come with me,
I'll tell my father that you're earning making elsewhere behind his back.
He's going to be very angry, if he knows.
Ruyi, isn't it fine if I just go with you? Don't tell Master.
I heard that Ling Luo Boutique brought in some new garments
that look very good.
I just received my wages yesterday. I'll buy them for you.
This is more like it.
Good, good, good.
Nice, great martial arts.
Good.
Nice, nice.
One more!
Older Sister is so pretty!
Hurry!
Good!
You! Why are you still following me?
I...the reason I'm following you is to protect you
Look, you're not familiar with the people and places within Jin'An City,
with me protecting you, no one will dare to bully you.
You? Protect me?
Worry about yourself first.
Hey, believe in me
I drank too much previously, so I wasn't myself, that's all.
Don't look at how I appear a bit shoddy right now
In those days, I was like an overlord here.
You've met those four river demons, right...all depended on my skills.
Fine fine. Does poisoning antidotes depend on skills, too?
You know that I messed with the antidote?
Moreover, since you clearly knew that I messed with the antidote, why still risk your life to save me?
Truth to tell, besides my mother, no one has been that good to me.
Are you sure that you haven't fallen for me?
Don't have unrealistic thoughts. I would've saved anyone else, too.
Don't always leave in such a rush.
- I'm not done talking yet. - I'm anxious to go to the lantern festival.
What's so fun about the Lantern Festival?
It's just a bunch of bookworms giving themselves a hard time guessing the riddles from the lanterns.
I will show you something even more fun. You haven't seen the night view at West Lake, right?
I will take you there.
I'm not going. Go on your own.
The two of us don't share the same beliefs. We don't have anything in common.
Ruyi, I'm going to that shop which sells writing brush, ink stick, ink slab and paper.
You visit Ling Luo Boutique and shop for something.
What's so interesting about writing brush, ink stick, ink slab and paper?
Then be quick about it.
Young woman, wait for me.
Excellent. One more.
One more.
Boss, give me a portion.
It smells so good.
Give me ten portions.
- Thank you, shop owner. - Ladies, take care.
Red pairing with green?
So common.
She's seems to be criticizing my taste.
I'll learn from this lady from Ji Shi Pharmacy.
lest I become a laughing matter.
Demoness, where did you come from? Why do you just look like me?
Did I offend you?
You didn't.
I can wear whatever I like. Why call me a demoness?
Looking for trouble?
Miss, how is 'demoness' an offensive word.
Moreover, I can see that you don't have any spiritual aura. You are definitely not a demoness.
- You said that I don't have an aura? - You really who don't have any.
Demoness are actually much better looking than you. Also,
who gives you the right to wear whatever you want, while others can't follow suit?
My Young Mistress is so pretty. No matter what she wears, she looks better than you.
If you can't compete with her, change to another set then.
- You! - Me? What's wrong with me?
Ridiculous.
You again? The moment you arrive, you acted so rudely. Look how you scared her away.
I'm going to apologize to her.
Miss, you haven't paid any money for your clothes.
Money? What's money?
Miss, you are not going to disappear on me, right?
Boss, wait. See? You can't manage without me.
Let's see if you are still ungrateful to me.
Here, Boss.
Where did she go?
The big bird is very pretty.
Little girl, do you like this phoenix?
Then...let me ask you something.
Have you ever seen this kind of pearl before?
As long as you have seen this kind of pearl before,
I will give you everything I have.
Look carefully at it.
Xian'er, you scared Mother to death.
Why did you come here? I will take you to buy sweets, okay?
Don't wander off again, okay?
Thank you.
Stop dreaming. Do you think that any girl you see is your daughter?
Shut up.
Take care. Miss,
do you want to pose a riddle or guess a riddle?
If you pose a riddle, just write on any lantern.
If you guess a riddle correctly, you can choose any lantern you like.
- Really? - Yes.
This game is very interesting.
- I will pose the riddle first. - Alright.
- Come. - Which do you like?
- Let's take this one.- That one? Good.
Hello.
Come and take a look.
Brother Han Wen.
I thought you would take a long time. You chose a garment that quickly?
I encountered a country bumpkin with bad taste.
- This looks nice. - This suits you.
- Brother Han Wen. - This is a pair. - A pair!
- I want both. - You want both? It's fifty coins for both.
Okay. Here's the money.
Thank you.
Take this. You are not allowed lose this.
- Take care. - It's so festive here.
Excellent!
Okay, Miss.
Miss, don't leave. You haven't paid for the lantern.
Coming. Wait for me.
Here.
Thank you, Miss.
- Wait for me. - Thank you. Take care.
Excellent! Beautiful!
Great!
Wait for me.
Is money needed everywhere in this mortal realm?
They are humans. They can't live without money.
As for me, whether I want to spend money or not, it depends on my mood.
- It can depend on your mood? - Of course.
Look at that. It's really fun.
Do you like it? This is especially beautiful.
I already said that it suits you, right?
- By doing this, aren't you going overboard. - Try this. It's fifty coins.
I'm in the mood to spend money today.
- Little friend, do you like this? - Let's go.
Walk sideways. Lie down sideways.
Sit down sideways. Sleep sideways.
This lantern riddle is very interesting.
- Why are you pushing? - Shop owner, can I borrow an ink brush?
Yes, you can. Here.
Change out of old clothes in Summer and Winter.
Walk fast even without feet.
Climb up the trees agilely.
Move not a step when the road is paved with realgar.
This...
You're writing about...also a snake?
The young master answers a riddle with a riddle. That's quite special.
This lantern is yours.
- Thank you, shop owner. - Don't mention it.
He must have already guessed several riddles correctly tonight.
Shop owner, who wrote this riddle on the lantern?
It was a young lady. She just left.
Excellent!
One more.
[ House of Embroidery ]
Excellent.
I like this.
You are a boy. Why would you want this?
- I like this. - Be good. - No.
This sachet matches the fan the best.
If you like this fan,
I'll give you the sachet as a gift, alright?
The sewing skill is quite good.
This little boy is simply adorable. Please accept this on his behalf.
Mother, I want it.
Alright, you are the most mischievous.
Here. Keep it properly. Don't lose it.
- This lantern is very pretty. - Take a look now.
Why is that lantern missing?
Boss.
Where did that lantern go?
Someone guessed your riddle correctly.
That gentleman has taken away the lantern.
What a pity.
If that gentleman is still here,
he would have been good friends with you.
That gentleman left a lantern behind.
He said that it's for you.
I wonder if you will accept it. I will retrieve the lantern for you.
This is not the one I want. I want that one.
I want this one. I already know the answer to the riddle. Wait while I answer.
A priest moves the sacred beads with his fingers, a celestial being plays a fine tune.
Young woman, wait for me.
That demoness is near here. I won't let her escape this time.
Where did you learn those nonsensical words from?
Mount Emei is actually were Samantabhadra (Buddhist Lord of Truth) performed rites.
Buddhist scriptures stacked like mountains. All truths flows towards the same wisdom. I stayed there for a hundred years.
How could I have not studied it?
One hundred years? You studied for a hundred years and you don't find it boring?
A million ton of wealth cannot compare to learning from the books.
Through literature can find a like-minded friend.
These are cultural activities. How could they be boring?
Mother, I want this hat.
Little boy, you have good taste.
This is the latest fashion. This hat
suits you very well.
Moreover, it's only three hundred coins.
Let's forget it.
Mother, I don't like to wear hats. Let's forget it.
But I only have two hundred coins.
You can keep the remainder. I will accept only two hundred coins.
That's great. Thank you, shop owner.
Here.
This is for you.
Changsheng, hold it properly.
It's really nice. Okay, let's go.
Please wait.
This fragrant sachet is for him.
It's a memento for him.
- Thank you, shop owner. - Thank you.
Brother Han Wen, where are we going for fun next?
Brother Han Wen!
Ruyi!
Young woman!
Ruyi!
