The Legend of White Snake
Episode 18
You...why are you bringing me back here?
Ruyi, I want to show you something, it's inside the cave.
Ruyi, look.
Luminous wine glass, tribute from the former dynasty. Very precious.
And that one, jade ruyi, a precious item that can only be found in the harem. (ruyi: an ornament, a symbol of good luck)
I spent years collecting all these gold, silver, pearls, and jewels.
Ruyi, as long as you're willing to stay here, these are all yours.
Don't treat me like one of those ignorant and shallow women.
Do I really care about those pearls, jewels, and jade?
But since you're able to get those things, so you do have some abilities.
But why did you hide it from me and pretended that you were so poor?
I didn't dare to tell you. I was afraid that you'd become suspicious.
Ruyi, I really didn't mean to lie to you.
My feeling for you is real.
But I heard that demons are all powerful.
Can you perform sorceries?
Of course, look.
That's all you can do?
Didn't they say demons can do endless transformations?
Can you transform yourself into Brother Hanwen?
Hanwen...
Ruyi, I can do it.
However, my original form was a toad, and toads are basically ugly.
This face of mine is already the best I could do by magic.
If I pushed it further, my cultivation will be damaged.
If you don't want to do the transformation,
then just vanish before my eyes.
All right, I'll do it. I'll do it.
Older Brother Hanwen.
Who allows you to come back? Change it back...change it back.
Ruyi, I've just recovered from my injury and can't maintain in my changed form too long.
You're so useless, I don't ever want to see you again.
Get lost!
Ruyi, please don't be angry.
Get going, quick!
- Quick, quick! - Don't be angry.
Quick!
Put it over there.
Here, let me do it.
Be careful.
Put it over there.
Be careful. Slower.
Physician Bai.
Let me help.
Xiao Qing, brother Zhang is here.
Thanks, Xiao Qing.
- I wrapped it up for you. - Thank you, benefactor.
Good-bye.
Thank you.
Amitabha.
Benefactor, can you give me a bowl of water to drink?
I'm so sorry.
The boiled water is too hot to drink.
Master, in this hot day,
why don't you go to Baohe Hall to get an herbal tea to relieve your thirst?
Today, Baohe Hall is offering free medical treatments. Free of charge.
Free medical treatments?
That's right. Physician Xu and Miss Bai of Baohe Hall are really good people.
An epidemic was spread earlier at Lin'an and they gave Baoan pills to patients for free.
Lots of people heard that and travelled far to come to Baohe Hall.
The crowds are getting bigger, even my business is getting better.
- Boss. - Come sit down.
It truly sounds like a philanthropic act.
It just that common people don't know that demons maybe hiding evil intents inside.
What good people? Obviously it's just an act for personal gain.
This Baohe Hall just wants to buy popularity, it will become famous in Lin'an City from then on.
For physicians like us will have no place to stay.
Madam Li, I specifically saved you some larger eggs.
- At no charge. - No, no...I can't accept that.
Take it, please take it.
Your brother cured my son's disease, and now he offers free medical treatments.
Giving you the eggs for free is really nothing. Just treat it as my gratitude to you, please accept it.
Thank you.
That's right, sister Li,
I've kept these two fishes just for you,
please take back home.
No, I can't accept that.
- Take it. - No, no...I can't.
Mister, you're so kind.
- Thanks so much! - It's nothing.
Thank you!
- Ruyi, listen to me. - What else do you want to say?
I just wanted you to combat Bai Suzheng, but you declined with all sorts of excuses.
You still talked about being sincere to me, you're just lying.
I'm really truthful to you. Also, she's a thousand-year-old snake demoness.
And she has Xiao Qing to help her, so you see...
Who?
I can't defeat them.
You just said she's a thousand-year-old snake demoness?
Really?
Absolutely true. Last time I was injured by both of them.
That's not good.
Where are you going?
I...I have to go and tell Brother Hanwen. He just can't be together with a demoness.
It's useless, Ruyi.
Didn't I already say that her cultivation is very profound, we can't force her to show her original form?
If she doesn't show her original form, Xu Xian won't believe whatever you tell him. That's...
What were you doing? You wanted to suffocate me?
Ruyi, that was Monk Fa Hai from Jinshan Temple.
He is extraordinary, with superior supernatural power. That Sounding Staff
took countless demons' lives.
Luckily, I was able to use magic to hide my demonic aura, otherwise, he would have come to get me.
That monk? He can capture demons?
Yes! He's great!
Even that Bai Suzheng is afraid of him.
Really, so after travelling far and wide in search of it,
it's easily found by a lucky chance.
Evildoer, how dare you come and allure people!
It's all because you've been kindhearted and irresolute toward the evildoers,
which gave me the chance to recover.
And now, what can you do to me?
I can eliminate you.
You're hesitant in action and allow the tiger escape back to the mountain again.
The evildoers therefore become strong again.
You gave them the chance to gain popularity.
I said it before, I am you and you are me.
Do you really want to kill yourself?
Come, come kill me.
Amitabha.
Teacher, this demon devours people's hearts. It's growing stronger, I can't kill it.
All evil creatures arise from wishful thinking.
It's your own stubbornness and prejudice that created the devil inside you.
If you don't let go of your stubbornness and prejudice, you can't eliminate the devil inside you.
Teacher, the evildoer allures people by doing charity and plotting with malicious intent.
Are all these my delusion created by my prejudice?
I don't understand, teacher, please help me solve the conundrum.
If the white and green snakes are indeed hypocritical, I in turn would become the one to connive with the evildoers.
If both of them were not snake spirits,
you wouldn't think that they could have ulterior motives.
Fai Hai, you have to remember, in all worldly things,
ordinary people see duality, the wise man comprehends non-duality.
Good and evil exist only on a whim.
Teacher.
Teacher, where are you?
Teacher.
Thank you for saving me, My Lord.
It's been hard on you.
It was not easy for me to find a convict on death row as your substitute.
You must act carefully when you go out in the future.
Don't worry.
I will make Xu Xian pay for what I've lost with his life.
Baohe Hall's reputation may be flourishing, but great joy always begets sorrow.
You should just rest well.
Let Xu Xian be merry for now. We'll settle the score with him some time later!
Thank you, My Lord.
Let's go!
Here, here.
Try some of these dumplings we made. Here.
That's right. Look. Bend it a little tighter here.
Don't let the sticky rice spill out.
I'm telling you. Put in more egg yolk. It'll be delicious.
All right. No problem.
Here. Look at this.
That's right. Just like that.
Here.
Press this part down. Yes yes yes
You're very sharp. You got it on the first try.
You're a good teacher.
Older Sister. Why is it that your dumpling wrapping is different from others?
This is a nine-child dumpling.
There's a saying with this.
Dumpling sounds like childing. Nine-child dumpling is like asking for a child.
You and Hanwen should seize the opportunity.
Sister, I heard that there's a Guan Yin Temple in the vicinity of the eastern suburbs.
It's effective for child-bearing.
Your brother-in-law is always busy. He doesn't have the time to go with me. Would you be available tomorrow?
Come and burn some incense with me.
An outing? I'm going too! I'm going too!
That's good. Xiao Qing, I heard that the God of Marriages' Temple is next to Guan Yin Temple.
It's effective in marriage blessings. Would you like to go and ask for a marriage blessing?
Me?
Ask for a marriage blessing?
Xiao Qing has high expectations and she has a distinct personality. Don't go through the trouble for her.
Xiao Qing, let me tell you. Your brother-in-law knows lots of people at the government office.
Tell him what kind of guy you like. Have him introduce you to some people.
See if there are any unmarried and charming men in the government office.
My stomach hurts. I wonder if I ate something bad.
I'm going to Baohe Hall to make some medicine. I won't be joining you for your outing tomorrow.
Lass, slow down! Let me know what kind of man you like.
Da Niu is pretty good.
It round yet has corners...what is this?
You are round and has corners. I wrapped these all afternoon. Nevermind eating them then!
I'll eat. I didn't say I wouldn't.
When you add wine in dumplings, there's a special kind of taste.
How is it that you're free to ask me out for a drink today?
Don't ask.
I say, when people becomes a couple, after some time, it becomes boring.
They want everyone else to be matched into couples.
What were they telling me? There's a God of Marriages' Temple. It's very effective.
They said I'm not young anymore. They want me to ask for a marriage blessing.
What are you looking at?
Which God of Marriages' Temple?
Take me with you to ask for one too.
Xiao- Xiao Qing. Let's go together. It might really be effective.
Who is God of Marriages? Can he really take care of my marriage?
Wife, you are cold for all the four seasons. Do you have a cold constitution?
For the past two days, why did you have an excess of yang energy?
Are you sick?
It wasn't easy to go out for fun. Must you talk about work? Just ignore him.
How dare you! Don't you know how to drive a carriage? You almost knocked into Royal Consort Mu.
If Royal Consort is hurt, let's see what will happen to you.
Uncle Zhang, don't be discourteous.
I caused you to be shocked. We are physicians from Baohe Hall.
If you feel unwell, please let us check you.
Baohe Hall? Then, he must be Xu Xian.
I'm Xu Xian. Greetings, Royal Consort.
The both of you have done many kind deeds in Lin'an. I have been wanting to meet you.
I didn't imagine that we could be destined to meet today.
Royal Consort, you are overpraising us. We are just doing our duties.
Duty is the hardest to do. Where are you going?
We plan to go to the temple of Goddess Mercy to pray.
I'm going there too. We can go together.
Thank you, Royal Consort.
We are not taking actions?
It's Prince Mu's carriage. Consider that he's lucky. Let's dismiss.
Yes. Let's go.
When did Xu Xian and Prince Mu become so close?
Lord, what should we do?
Don't be rash or we will alarm them.
Yes.
I pray for Bodhisattva to bless me with a son in order to carry on the family line.
One lotus petal means the baby will arrive in one year.
Let thousands of eyes watch over him and thousands of hands protect him. Help the child I ask for
I will spread compassion and eliminate evil to show appreciation to Bodhisattvat
Sister is also granted a daughter. Two lotus petals means her wish will be fulfilled in two years.
Bodhisattva Guanyi, Disciple Bai Suzhen is also praying for a child.
Does this mean my prayer has been answered? Or it wasn't?
Is this the temple of the God of Marriage? Why are people encircling the tree and praying?
This temple is different from other temples.
Look at that tree. It's said that this is the Fate Tree of God of Marriage.
Let's light the incense sticks.
Let's go.
You are that eager to get married?
Don't you think it's good to be single? So much freedom and happiness.
You don't understand this.
Humans will marry sooner or later.
Let's light the incense sticks and pray to him. Let's see if he will take care of us.
I hope he finds me a gentle and virtuous wife, instead of like you...
I...
Rightly so.
Listen.
My requirements are not that high but you can't mess around too.
A bookworm like Xu Xian...
won't work either. A rustic guy like Constable Li?
No, don't.
He must not be an idiot like him. If not, I won't go easy on you.
What are you doing? Be nicer to the God of Marriage.
Aren't you afraid that you can't get married?
Didn't you just light the incense sticks?
You are appeasing, and I'm threatening. We are using both approaches at the same time to get a good result.
Great!-
What are you all doing?
Girl, you don't know this right?
The red thread on this tree is the Fate Thread.
Every person can untie a knot at the ends of the strings
if two people happen to untie the same string
he's your destined person then. Miss, let's leave.
Is this for real?
Let's go. What kind of Fate Tree is this? It doesn't work at all.
They're coming!
Let's go with the original plan.
You better act realistically. Don't reveal my plan!
Ruyi, can you do this? This monk is very formidable. What if you can't delay him?
You better listen carefully. Either you help me act this part
or you leave.
Since demons' spirits are the weakest during Duanyang Festival,
I need to take this chance and get rid of Bai Suzhen.
Help! There's a demon!
Evil Doer, forget about harming people!
Master, please rescue me!
There's a demon!
Amitabha
Benefactor, are you injured?
Thank you for rescuing me ,master.
Benefactor, you misunderstood me many times.
I hope you won't misunderstand again.
I admit my mistake.
I hope Master won't hold grudges.
Master!
Benefactor, what other business do you have?
Where are you going? Can you bring me along?
I'm scared.
Duanyang Festival is arriving soon. Demons won't dare to commit evil deeds.
Benefactor, you don't need to worry.
I'm not scared of 10000, I'm scared of the 1 bit of chance.
If master doesn't want me to come along, he should at least teach me some defense against demons.
Perhaps, is there any protection amulet to protect myself?
The Jinshan Temple's demon-fighting technique is sealed inside this bracelet.
You can take this to defend yourself first.
This demon pendant...
Can it take care of demons over 1000 years old?
What I mean to say is...what if this demon I meet is very strong
will this pendant be enough?
Benefactor, don't worry. Although this won't eliminate the demons
but it can stop the spells of evildoers.
Wear this and the evildoer won't be able to harm you.
If the demons wears it, his power will be constrained.
Thank you, Master.
Physician Xu.
Brother Zhang, you are here to deliver herbs again?
The weather is very hot. You shouldn't be running errands.
It's okay. Your wife gave me a prescription,
I drink a bowl of heat-cooling broth before I head out to work.
Even if I work for an hour, I don't feel tired.
Physician Xu, are you sprinkling realgar powder?
This is menial work. Let me do it.
Then thank you very much.
Brother Zhang, I already finished sprinkling the front yard. How about you go to the back.
Ok!
It's so hot.
I will be the first snake in the world to die from being roasted by the sun.
This pond is next to the mountain so there are a lot of pests. More should be sprinkled here!
What's that smell? It's spicy and bitter.
I never thought one could catch a snake here.
Brother Zhang.
Physician Bai, don't go over there. There's a snake!
Snake?
Why would we have a snake in our yard?
Physician Bai, you may not know. Snakes hate the heat.
In this weather, they like going into homes. I have to catch it quickly!
Or else, Xiao-Qing will get scared.
The snakes that you saw...
wouldn't be these snake melons right?
Snake melons...?
My uncle and I brought this back from Qin state.
Their shape may look scary, but they are great at cooling off summer heat.
The snake that you just saw...must have been these snake melons.
That shouldn't be possible. I've hunted for this many years...I should definitely be able to tell the difference between snakes and melons.
Let me look again.
Physician Bai, what's wrong?
I'm suddenly dizzy. Please help me to the medical center for a visit.
Take your time.

That was so close...
Luckily sister helped me, or I would have been exposed.
Blame Zhang Yutang for being a busybody.
Physician Xu, not good! Master isn't feeling well.
What's wrong, girl?
You can leave.
I'm alright. I just got hit with a headache.
Wife, your pulse is not stable.
These couple days, was there anywhere that didn't feel comfortable?
People like us who practices martial arts has different heart pulse from normal people. Don't worry.
Did I really see wrong?
Why are you behaving suspiciously here?
Xiao Qing, were you here just now? You are must extra careful. There's a snake here.
Your head! Why would there be snakes here?
I think your eyes are blurring up.
My eyesight is not blurry.
They didn't blur?
You don't think the things you are seeing right now are blurry? Everything is clear?
And if you stare at one spot, you'd feel dizzy and blary-eyed.
I really feel a bit dizzy.
You have blue-blindness syndrome. If you are not treated, you'd be blind.
You can treat illnesses too?
Of course. I work at Baohe and I don't know how to treat illnesses?
- Have you thought about it? - Yes.
You thought it through? Then go home and use Chinese goldthread, chocolate vine, Sophora flavescens, and Gentiana scabra to make a brew.
Drink three bowls for a month.
Ok, then I will go grab medicine. Thank you! I'll invite you to drink another day.
You dare let me inhale realgar powder, I'll let you eat coptis chinensis.
Fainted! Master! Someone fainted!
Physician, someone fainted!
Physician! Physician!
He must be treated with medication that clears heat and eliminates toxins.
We cannot eliminate the toxins. He has a heart diseases and cannot bear the cold-natured medicine.
I will use Chinese aconite and dried ginger to stabilize his pulse. You perform acupuncture on him to eliminate the toxic heat.
But acupuncture may not be effective.
Without medication, the toxin in his body cannot be cleared off.
I've seen this type of patients. Acupuncture can alleviate the heat toxin from him.
Husband, trust me or we won't be able to save him in time.
Bai Suzhen took action?
Yes, her energy loss probably cannot be restored in a short time.
He's awake.
He's really awake. Physician Xu and Physician Bai are really miracle physicians.
Yeah!
They can really treat any illnesses.
Older Sister, what's wrong with you?
I am fine a moment ago I took on a patients heat.
The heat was too fierce that for a moment I almost couldn't bear it.
What?
Elder Sister, having the heart to treat people is good.
But you shouldn't self-sacrifice to save them.
Our type of snakes naturally hates the heat. On top of that
Your body has lost the spirit pellet too.
How can you take the heat upon yourself?
Certain people's temperature are weird.
I suspect someone will use that to shift the blame onto Bao An Hall.
If I didn't take action today, my husband would be in trouble.
As for you your cultivation is too shallow.
Just a bit of regular and your true appearance will show.
I was a bit careless today.
It's all that Zhang Yu Tang fault. He insisted on going outside and spreading regular.
During the dragon boat festival each and every family wants to spread some regular.
You can't escape it. These days my powers are not enough.
I won't be able to protect you.
Why don't we do this? Go back today
and find a forest to hide first. I will tell my husband
That you went back with Uncle for a visit.
What about you?
Older Sister, why don't we leave together?
There's people who hate Bao An Hall out of jealousy. I'm afraid since the first try failed there will be a second.
I am worried about my husband.
Moreover,
I have been feeling uneasy lately.
I keep feeling that something will happen.
Tomorrow is the dragon festival Han Wen and Su Zhen will come back to eat.
I prepared some food. Let's go.
- Ruyi! - Miss Jin!
- What's wrong?
Quick.
Help out.
Open the door.
What's wrong with Miss Jin?
Why did she suddenly faint?
Hanwen.
Older Sister.
What's wrong, Older Sister? Is there a guest here?
Ruyi...Something happened to Ruyi.
Husband, how's her condition?
From the pulse there's nothing to worry about. Just that the liver is suffering from pent-up anger.
It's a bit weak.
Older Brother Hanwen.
Older Brother Hanwen,
am I dreaming?
Your hand is hot.
I'm not in a dream.
Ruyi.
How are you?
I...
That Wang Dao Ling is malicious and duplicitous.
He kept from me the fact that he made the epidemic and humiliated Jishi Hall.
He destroyed my Jishi Hall
and also sold him to the brothel.
Ridiculous.
Older Brother Hanwen, I was ignorant in the past.
I won't be like this again.
I'm begging you, don't tell me to leave.
I'm really afraid of him.
It's good that you are safe and sound. Have a good rest and don't worry about other matters.
Come, Ruyi. Lie down.
I obviously knew she encountered someone who wasn't warm and virtous.
Yet still had a falling out with her and abandoned her out of spite.
I have wronged her.
Wife, I would like Ruyi to stay at our home.
It's convenient for me to take care of her.
That Wang Daoling is an evil person but I feel that he's sincere towards Ruyi.
Based on this, he probably wouldn't harm Ruyi.
Husband, Ruyi has always hated us.
We should be a bit cautious about her.
Wife, I know you misunderstood Ruyi.
She did many bad deeds in the past
But, these days she has already gone through such a setback.
I believe she will be more aware and mature now.
I am afraid you are confused rather than worried.
Our problems with Jishi Hall last time.
I am doughty Ruyi would let it go in such a short time.
I'm afraid, right now the one who can't let it go
it's you instead.
I really am not opinionated nor want to be a sore point towards Ruyi.
She's not feeling well. Of course, I will let you stay here. I...
I don't know what to say to you too.
Wife, what's wrong with you?
I'm okay. I will be fine after a few days of rest.
I thought my medical skills were satisfactory but these days after rummaging through some books I found out.
I am incapable of curing your summer illness.
These days Xiao Qing has gone to visit your family. How can I be rest assured when you are alone?
Why don't I take care of Older Sister Bai?
Ruyi, why did you get up?
I did many bad deeds in the past.
Thankfully, Brother Hanwen and Sister Bai do not hold grudges.
I will definitely change and won't disappoint you.
Now that Miss Xiao Qing is not around, why don't you let me serve Older Sister Bai?
How can you do this? You are a guest and also a patient.
You should rest more.
I know that you still hate me.
By not agreeing, you are blaming me.
I really didn't blame you.
Elder Sister, you are respectful and generous.
I was ignorant in the past. Now, I realize that,
you are gentle and virtuous.
By the way,
Why don't I give this to you to protect your health?
You don't want me to serve you.
You even refused to receive this Buddhist beads.
In the end,
you still hate me.
It's not that. I have never worn this kind of item.
If you don't accept it, you are blaming me then.
Then how could I dare to be an unpleasant sight blocking your vision? I will organize right now and leave immediately.
Ruyi.
Stop being stubborn. Where can you go now?
Wife, this is Ruyi's kind intention.
Just accept it.
Thank you, Miss Ruyi.
As long as you like it.
