The Legend of White Snake
Episode 3
Brother HanWen, let's first go there for some fun.
Brother HanWen.
RuYi!
Young Woman!
RuYi!
[A priest moves the sacred beads with his fingers; a celestial being plays a fine tune]
Oh no! It's the odor belonging to some kind of giant centipede.
Exorcism Staff, eliminate evil thoroughly.
Help! Hurry! Someone is injured!
Miss Bai, please stay here first.
Leave when the chaos has subsided. I'm going to go save people.
Help!
Young Woman, Young Woman.
It's not safe here. Leave with me right away.
That won't do. A lot of people are injured here. I need to go and help out.
Don't. Don't you smell it? It's the odor of a big monster.
This big monster has a formidable level of power that I've rarely encountered.
Even if we team up, we wouldn't be able to defeat it.
We can't afford to offend it, let's hide. Let's leave right away.
Thank you. You leave first. I can't turn a blind eye when people are dying.
Why do you stubbornly refuse to see common sense.
You're a demoness, what do you care about the life and death of ordinary mortals.
I received GuanYin Bodhisattva's guidance to temper myself in the mortal world.
Whether humans or demons, I'll save them as long as they're in danger.
You go first.
What's so great about GuanYin? If you refuse to follow reason,
you'll become a ghost long before you can become an immortal.
Who has any cotton cloth?
I do! Hurry!
What are you doing? Is it possible to use cotton to save people?
Go find a reed pipe for me.
Go. Hurry.
Thanks.
Help me pinch his nose.
Husband! Buddha be praised., you're conscious. Husband, you're conscious!
Miss Bai. Why did you also come over here?
I also know some medicine, hope I'm not a burden.
Xu Xian is thankful of Miss Bai's righteousness.
Saving lives is our responsibility as medical practitioners. SuZhen is duty bound.
ChangSheng! ChangSheng!
Have you seen a boy holding a lantern? Have you seen him?
Have you seen a boy?
Have you seen a boy holding a lantern?
A boy holding a lantern.
ChangSheng! ChangSheng! ChangSheng!
ChangSheng! ChangSheng!
Father, Mother, I'm here!
ChangSheng! ChangSheng!
ChangSheng!
ChangSheng, my son!
Mother!
Son! My son!
Careful.
Miss Bai, you haven't been injured, right?
Miss Bai, are you injured somewhere?
No, but your hand is bleeding.
This is but a small injury, not a big deal.
Even an untreated small wound can take a life it it festers.
Fire! Fire! Fire!
Let's go, Miss Bai.
Who will save my mother? My mother is still inside the restaurant!
Oh no, that's bad!
There are still a lot of people inside the restaurant before us.
Miss Bai, why don't you find a safe place to take cover.
Although an ordinary mortal's body is weak,
their wisdom gives them courage that doesn't lose to any species.
There are still people inside! Help!
Make way, make way.
I beg everyone to come save my mother.
My mother is still inside.
We also want to save people, but the door has been sealed by a big fire
Charging in will result in death!
Save my mother, I beg of everyone!
Quickly!
Hurry, hurry, throw water here!
This is bad. The fire is so big, Doctor Xu won't be able to endure much longer.
It's going to be very dangerous if this continues. I need to think of a way to help him.
(chants) Five kings five dragons, clouds rise, turn to mist
Borrow the East Wind, release like a flood
As fast as the law allows.
Help! Save me!
save me!
Save me!
Are you crazy? Turning the clouds into rain.
This is a celestial power. not something a demoness can use.
If you force the rain and are discovered by heaven's sentinels,
you're going to incur the wrath of heaven.
Saving lives is important, I can't be bothered with so much.
Everyone, don't panic. Look for those pots of tea
wet your sleeves with the tea and use them to cover your noses.
I'm scared.
Not good, it's the sound of that staff.
That exorcism staff is most sensitive to demonic auras.
Once you cast the celestial spell, that stinky monk will mistake you for that giant monster for sure.
But if I don't use my powers
today, the lives of many more innocent people will be destroyed.
Even these mortals don't fear death.
Why would I fear it. If you're afraid, you can leave first.
Fine. I, XiaoQing, am also not someone who doesn't value friendship.
If that stinky monk really comes,
I'll hold him off for you. You should hurry.
Evil monster, let go of the child.
I was wondering from where a holy one has arrived.
Turns out it's a monk who fails to estimate his own strength.
If you retreat, I'll spare your life.
Harming lives, yet you dare to spout a bunch of nonsense.
Today, I'm determined to eliminate you.
Everyone, bend down low and lean against the wall as much as possible.
Follow me to the second story balcony.
Over there.
Hold on to this.
Be careful.
Slowly, slowly.
Be careful.
Doctor Xu, Doctor Xu.
I've already even released my demon's core, why is the rain still not coming?
Hurry! I won't be able to hold on much longer!
This is bad. The puppet has been shattered. Suzhen is in danger.
How are you, are you alright?
Turns out it's JingSong who saved me.
Let this hairpin be a gift to you for turning human.
I've eaten no small number of virgin males,
yet I haven't eaten a monk's flesh before.
Today, let me have a taste of it.
Doctor Xu, our thanks to Doctor Xu.
No need to be so polite, everyone. Why don't you go home and rest.
We've all been saved.
It's your kindness and grace
That's true. All thanks to Doctor Xu.
Good people will gain good karma.
What a virtuous person.
Let's hurry and leave. Don't know when that staff is going to return.
Let's leave quickly.
Did you think that adding a magical weapon is enough to overcome me?
Truly overestimating yourself.
I'm not going to continue playing around with you. Once I increase my power level using these children,
see if anyone can do anything to me!
Elder Sister, have you seen a young lady wearing a green yellow dress,
and is about this tall?
I haven't. I haven't.
Brother HanWen.
RuYi.
Where did you go?
Do you know how scary it was just now? Everything was on fire.
You.
What happened to your face?
Me? I'm fine.
You're really fine?
Really, I'm fine. Sorry, Ruyi,
it was too chaotic just now, it's my oversight to not have taken good care of you.
Have you been injured in any way?
Injury, there is none, however, there was a group of people pushing and shoving
Look, they made my new clothes dirty.
Don't be upset. When I receive my pay in the middle of the month, I'll buy you some new clothes.
That's what I like to hear.
What're you dawdling for.
It's dirty and chaotic here, let's leave right away.
I...I still have something to do.
There's nothing more important than me.
I need to return home immediately and change out of these dirty clothes.
Your lantern is already torn, just throw it away.
Ruyi, how about this, I'll accompany you home first to change clothes
Alright. Let's go.
Boss.
Who was so vicious.
Boss. Who did this to you? That's right.
What nonsense are you spouting? Who would have the ability to do this to me?
You guys didn't see the scene today.
Today, all of the populace in Lin'An City were saved by me.
You saved people?
Boss, that's not possible, right?
What, you don't believe it?
If you don't believe it, then just ask this young lady. At that time, I was a hero.
Thanks to me risking my life
to hold off FaHai's exorcism staff, she was able to be saved.
Boss. You were able to hold off the exorcism staff?
Of course!
It's but a mere exorcism staff. How can it overcome me?
Let me tell you guys,
at that time, I charged forward like this
then like this
Boss, hurry and sit down.
I'm fine, I'm fine.
Everyone already knows how heroic and exceptional you are
If you continue like this, before that staff injured you, you would've already injured yourself.
Hurry and sit down.
Sit, sit, sit down, sit down.
Let's make it clear, this time, I didn't drag you along,
you're the one who willingly followed me home.
In the past, I've misunderstood you. This time, I owe you one.
Forget it, don't mention owing me anything.
This 'grandfather', I, simply find you pleasing and did it willingly.
I, XiaoQing, just can't help myself from being loyal to friends.
Truly deserving of being the boss. With the streets chaotic to such a degree,
in the midst of a fight, he still remembered to hide the thing well.
Our boss is truly lovable.
Ever since she was small, she'd liked to hide her toys
Do you remember when she was two hundred years old,
she hid a lot of toys under West Lake
Actually, growing into such a collectomaniac
reflects a shortage in receiving love.
That's right, Boss is really pitiful.
The festival is so nice.
Brother in law. HanWen you didn't sleep well last night, right?
Brother in law, when you go to the office today, will you help me ask after a young girl
with surname Bai wearing clothing made of yellow green silk gauze.
Don't tell me about some yellow green, something silk gauze. I don't understand what you're saying
Tell me, last night, our LinAn City was so chaotic
burning on the one hand and raining on the other, how would I be able to find a girl named Bai or whatever
Let's do this, when I visit the office today,
I'll copy the name list of people who died, so you can look through it yourself.
Brother in law.
HanWen, listen to my word of advice.
It's a great blessing that our entire family is safe.
You know, strangers that you meet by chance,
if we can save them, then that's great. If they can't be saved, then forget about it.
Once you reach your brother in law's age, you'll understand.
There's no shortage of wind and rain under the skies
As humans, luck or disaster may befall at any moment.
Alright, go to sleep.
The person on the road appears like jade.
The color of jade congeal like frost, snow reflecting a plum branch in winter.
The fragrance of plum blossoms greet the bright moon.
Moon, frost, snow, plum blossoms, jade
This, this is referring to...
to white ('Bai' in Chinese)
Sister, how come you don't make any noise when you walk.
HanWen, what were you writing just now?
I...I was just writing a random medical prescription
Medical prescription?
Go eat.
Thanks, Older Sister.
I wish that it can be like this forever,
with someone to watch over me entering my dreams.
Is she going to be just like my mother, leaving me behind?
Qing'er, today is the Lantern Festival in the mortal world.
it is a good day for families to come together.
Didn't you say that you love seeing fireworks?
Come. Come into my hand. I'll take you to see the fireworks.
Mother, Qing'er wants to become human,
become a human like Mother.
Mother is already old.
If our Qing'er can cultivate and become a woman, she definitely will be much prettier than Mother.
Mother is not old. Mother is the most beautiful woman in the world.
Qing'er don't want to become a woman, I want to become a man.
That way, when I grow up, I can protect Mother.
Alright. Then I'll wait until our Qing'er grows up and cultivate to become a man
and protect Mother well.
Why is there thunder all of a sudden.
Qing'er, Mother has an important matter that I need to leave and take care of for awhile.
Qing'er, promise Mother that you'll find a location with a balanced essence of the sun and moon
and properly cultivate. Don't be lazy.
Mother, I don't want to play this game. I don't like to be locked up.
Mother, let me out, I want to play with you.
Qing'er, listen to Mother's words
cultivate properly, cultivate well.
Mother, where are you, let me out!
Mother, allow me to see you.
Mother!
You're awake?
You were mumbling something just now. What did you say?
I didn't say anything.
It's bright out. Get out of bed, let's get out of bed.
I'm not someone who's as greedy for sleep as you are.
Last night, I was treating your wound and didn't sleep a wink.
Are you feeling better, now?
My leg still hurts.
My back also hurts. It hurts.
And also the shoulder, shoulder.
It hurts everywhere.
That can't be right.
How come I remember that your waist wasn't injured.
That's because your medical skills are lacking , you're the one who bruised me.
I don't care. You have to take responsibility.
You learned to be tricky.
You're actually not that dumb.
Getting along with a clever and sly green snake like you, how can I not grow a bit more mindful.
Look, ever since you got to know me,
it's only been one night, and you already became so smart.
How about you continue to stay at this Nuwa temple in the future
and be my mistress of the fort.
In the future, I'll take care of all of your needs, whether it's food, drinks, or clothing
You haven't even properly grown your legs and can't even be considered a grown up demon,
let alone take a wife.
It's too early for that.
I was able to take on human form long ago.
It's just that it takes a bit more effort to become a man.
Just wait ten years for me,
no, eight years, and I'll definitely be able to cultivate into a dashing young man.
I need to temper myself in the mortal world and don't have the free time to wait for you.
You want to temper yourself? Then I'll also temper myself along with you.
Wherever,you want to go to cultivate, I'll go there to cultivate with you.
You?
There are so many rules in the mortal world,
if I were to bring you, I'm afraid it'll invite gossip.
Isn't it a simple matter to take care of?
From now, we'll just be sisters. Who'd dare to gossip?
Mother, I'm sorry,
Qing'er didn't keep her word.
I haven't become a man and haven't protected you well.
But now, I've met someone who I want to protect.
Because of her, I'm willing to be a female.
Do you think that no matter how we look at the boss, it just seems that underneath a woman's skin, she is
actually a rough guy!
How is it? As a woman, am I not devastatingly beautiful?
We can enter the mortal world together now.
I'm really helpless against you.
Go on!
Good children, sleep peacefully.
When you wake, want steamed dumplings.
Where's the steamed dumpling? A cat ate it.
Where's the cat?
I ate it.
Is my embroidery beautiful?
I can bet that you have never seen more beautiful embroidery work than this in your life.
When I was fifteen years old, I already had the most skillful hands in Zhaoge City.
I was elevated to be the wife of a Shang king.
What Emperor Shang (last ruler of Shang). Now everyone calls him King Zhou, the big tyrant.
Even though King Zhou is no more,
however, two thousand years later, this madame still has the most skilled hands in Jin'An city.
So what if you have the most skilled pair of hands.
Weren't you still wronged by King Zhou and Daji to a tragic degree, resentment unable to be dispelled.
All of you like the shoes I embroidered, right?
You're not the only ones who like them, my daughter also likes them.
Wake up, your daughter died long ago.
Don't keep repeating these useless things over and over all day.
Shut up for me! What do you know. What do you know!
I will get her back. I will definitely bring her back to life.
Your Honour, Officer, Officer! Fellow townsmen, fellow townsmen.
Calm down, please calm down. Calm down!
Calm down for a bit.
Officer, I beg of you, our Liu family have only had one son in three generations.
I can't lose this son.
After I gave birth to my son, there were no more males.
My son is only ten years old.
If he were to meet with misfortune,
How could a widow like me go on living?
I know...I know.
You all need not worry, they will be found for sure.
How unfortunate!
Do you know, I heard last night more than 10 children were missing.
Those children must have been snatched by that stinky evil centipede.
Sister, I smelled that evil odor last night.
That's the giant demon you've been talking about all along?
Yes, that must be it. Since it came to Lin'An City, little boys have been missing.
This centipede's behavior is really horrible.
Not sure how many boys' flesh it has devoured in order to advance to this level.
So many parents' hearts have been broken.
I wonder how Changsheng is doing now?
This demon has been eyeing Changsheng for a while. I have to go and find out.
Don't you have eyes? You've bumped into my lady.
I'm sorry. I walked too anxiously.
Miss Bai.
Last night I was looking for you at Yu Street.
I'm glad to see that you're alright.
I'm also glad that you are fine.
This mister, I'm Xiao Qing, my lady's servant girl.
Miss Xiao Qing.
Ours is a scholarly family with lots of rules.
You're a male stranger, yet talk so directly to my lady.
That's discourteous! Discourteous, do you understand?
I'm talking to you.
I understand.
So, if you want to talk to her,
you can tell me and I'll relay it to her.
That will comply with the rules of our wealthy and influential family.
Thank you for reminding me.
I just want to ask, where is Miss Bai going?
Miss, he asks where are we going?
I worry about Changsheng's safety, I want to go to his house to take a look.
What a coincidence, I also want to go to his house.
And I've brought some medicine to his mother. How about we all go together?
That's great!
Come back. I still haven't relayed everything.
The person on the road is like jade.
The jade color is like congealed snow.
This should be the description of a girl.
Madam, Madam.
Gongfu, let me tell you, Hanwen...something happened to Hanwen.
Something happened to HanWen?
When I saw him this morning, he was fine. What's up?
Today, I entered his room and saw him writing a poem.
Each line of the poem contained the word 'Bai' (white). ('the word Bai' also means to confuse words.)
Not possible. The two of us took care of him all of his life.
Everyone within miles of our town knows that he's learned. It's impossible for him to confuse words.
It's 'Bai', the word 'Bai'
I know, you taught me before. 'The word Bai' means to confuse words.
I'm not talking to you anymore. I often asked you to study, but you don't do it. Now, I'm unable to make things clear to you.
What do you mean I didn't study, aren't you talking about 'Bai'
Oh...you're talking about the Bai as in the surname, right?
That's right. Let me tell you,
today, I entered his room and saw him writing a poem
and each of the line in the poem contained the word 'Bai'.
I recall it now, before leaving this morning, HanWen asked me
whether there was a young lady with the last name 'Bai' among the people injured that day.
Is that true? Absolutely!
Our HanWen has grown so big, yet he has never cared about any young lady before in this way.
Thank the heavens and the earth! Our HanWen has finally opened his eyes!
Hey, are you delirious? What open what eyes.
That night Lin'An City was chaotic. It was windy and there was a fire.
It wasn't very normal for him to ask if there was a girl with the last name Bai among the injured, right?
What do you know?
Hanwen wrote her name repeatedly.
That means that he likes her.
GongFu, tell me, is that young lade pretty or not.
Where's her home? How many people are in her family?
What...What how many people.
I came home to find you due to something important. Who'd have the energy to discuss Miss Bai or whatever with you.
Let me tell you.
ChangSheng is missing. What? ChangSheng is missing?
Sister-in-law, you barely just recovered. Please watch over your health carefully.
Chang Sheng willl definitely come home.
Right, if Chang Sheng comes home and see you like this, he would be heartbroken.
Chang Sheng, Chang Sheng, will he ever return home?
Don't worry.
I will find a way to find Chang Sheng.
Wifey. Where's the precious pearl? Where's ChangSheng's precious pearl?
The precious pearl is here.
I put it away. Here.
I've seen this pearl. Chang Sheng has always worn it.
Miss Bai. ChangSheng said that you have supernatural powers.
I beg you, please help me.
I'll surely give it my all.
Thank you. Miss Bai.
The style of this fragrance pouch is quite special.
Miss Bai!
Please wait a moment.
Master Xu, why are you frantically looking for my lady.
Will you let me take a look at ChangSheng's precious pearl?
Thanks very much.
This precious pearl's scent is very special. Seems as if there's a medicinal fragrance that's sometimes there and sometimes isn't.
The pearl has been inside the sachet. Maybe it picked up a smell from the sachet?
Indeed.
Doctor Xu is obviously a grown man.
Why would you be so interested in a fragrance pouch like this?
Unless...you have a close girlfriend at home!
XiaoQing...why do you talk so much?
Miss Xiao Qing is joking.
Xu Xian is a mere scholar and has always lived alone. How could I have a close girl friend.
Miss Bai.
Doctor Xu, you've been studying this fragrance pouch. Did you discover anything unusual?
I actually have some guesses, but it's already getting late.
If the two of you don't mind, how about coming to my humble abode to talk in detail.
No!
I'm afraid that is not too convenient...
then, maybe another day.
Farewell.
Let's go.
This is something I bought for him last night at the market.
He liked this fan so much.
No matter how much silver it costs,
you have to help us save our son.
Counselor, you're too formal.
I wonder if last night, the two of you saw anything in regards to the culprit's appearance, male or female?
At that time, there was a windstorm, sand and stones rolling.
I didn't even get a glimpse of their appearances when my child already disappeared.
How could I tell if it was a male or female?
You ask me what the culprit looks like
how would I know? But I heard the voice. What voice?
That voice was so fine and high-pitched, and delicately sweet.
You're implying that the culprit is a female?
How could it be a female? It must have been a male.
Male?
Then why did I hear that it was a female?
Officer, don't look down on me because my eyes aren't good
but my ears are sharp, I couldn't have heard wrong.
Officer, please give some.
Thank you officer, thank you.
Take care. Look, how's this?
Alright, alright, let me see that.
It looks good, right?
How's this? No. I don't want it.
How about this one, then. This one looks quite good.
Young Lady, look over here.
This is a good one. I want to buy it.
This Master, you've been following me for awhile. What's the matter?
Amituofu. Benefactor, are you perhaps looking for the children who were kidnapped that day?
Precisely, Master. I wonder if Master can offer some guidance.
This humble monk is FaHai from Jinshan Temple and wandered here by chance.
I happened to have exchanged moves with the person you're looking for last night.
The opponent was exceptionally powerful, able to match against the best of the best.
I especially came to warn Benefactor.
That's wonderful, Master.
You mean to say, that you have seen the culprit
and you have even engaged him.
That's wonderful , Master.
How about coming to my humble home and we can talk more about it at leisure.
Come. Please go on, Master.
Come, Master, please drink some tea.
Master, Just now, you mentioned that you exchanged moves with the perpetrator.
Tell me, what does he look like?
Amituofu. Benefactor,
the demon uses myriad appearances to confuse people.
Since we can't tell its true appearance, we also can't tell its true voice.
Wait wait, no no. Why is there such a thing as a demon?
The one doing evil within Lin'An City
is a three thousand year old centipede spirit which has almost fully cultivated its skills.
Ordinary humans cannot fight with it.
Cen... Centipede Sprit?
Master Monk, Master Monk!
This monk is really powerful. Just now...
Who are you?
Who did you recently interact with? Why do you have demonic aura on you?
