The Legend of White Snake
Episode 19
Why this year's Double Ninth Festival so hot?
I'd really be the first snake spirit in history got scorched by the hot sun.
Oh no, it's that stinky monk!
What does that stinky monk want to do?
So you're smart!
You don't say! It's really so much cooler under the shade.
Ruyi.
Older Brother Hanwen.
You brought the wine?
Today is Double Ninth Festival. I bought the wine to drink with my wife.
Is realgar added to the wine?
Realgar?
People drink realgar wine in Double Ninth Festival.
Did you forget?
Here.
Older Sister Bai doesn't feel good recently.
This realgar wine can help removing heat and toxic elements inside the body.
Go and keep her company.
Thank you.
Wife.
Are you all right? Is it too hot in here?
I'm fine. Just close the windows and it'll be fine. Why are you home so early today?
Today is Double Ninth Festival and the yang energy is supposed to be strong.
But this Physician Xu,
is absent-minded.
Just because his three spiritual and seven physical souls
kept whispering in his ear.
Saying that you have a lovely wife at home.
Baohe Hall should be closed for half a day.
Otherwise, the three spiritual and seven physical souls would run away.
Slick talk.
Every word I said was the truth.
Husband, is realgar added to the wine?
That's right. Every family drinks realgar wine on Double Ninth Festival.
Wife, thank you for staying by my side.
I propose a toast to you.
I'm not feeling well lately, I don't think I should drink wine.
This realgar wine can detoxicate and ward off evil force.
If you don't feel well, just drink a little bit.
You will benefit from it and it won't harm you.
But...
As soon as I arrived Baohe Hall today, I already missed you so much.
But as soon as I came back home and saw you, I feel more at peace.
I have to propose this toast to you.
Thank you for relieving me from my lovesickness.
I've a thousand years of cultivation, just a small cup of realgar wine shouldn't do me any harm.
Bai Suzheng, I want to see how your thousand years of cultivation
can win against this realgar wine.
Stinky monk!
Why did you help me?
I was asking you a question.
You're actually a demigoddess!
Stinky monk, did you injure your brain?
Since you are a demigoddess, you should work hard on cultivation.
And to attain immortality sooner.
Today, out of compassion, I let you go.
If in the future, you injure or kill people again,
I definitely won't be lenient. Hope you conduct yourself well.
Who wanted you to be lenient?
If you're so capable, let's fight after the Double Ninth Festival is over.
Who knows who is going to win?
But what did you mean by "demigoddess"?
Why didn't you finish what you're saying?
What is a "demigoddess"?
Wife, are you all right?
I'm not feeling well and want to lie down, can you leave first?
Let me take a look at you.
That's all right. You leave first.
Wife.
You leave first, let me go lie down.
Wife, where are you not feeling well?
I'm just feeling warm and need to change my clothes, you leave first.
Wife.
Open the door, wife.
Wife, wife, what's happening to you, wife.
Wife. Wife.
Wife.
Snake!
Older Brother Hanwen, I just saw a snake crawling into your bedroom.
Older Sister Bai maybe in danger.
Wife. Wife.
Older Brother, think of a way fast, Sister Bai is in grave danger inside.
- Wife. - I'm going to get more help.
Wife, you open the door.
Wife.
You devoured my wife.
Older sister, quick!
Hanwen, Hanwen, Hanwen. Hanwen, what's happening to you?
Hanwen, Hanwen, what's happening to you?
Older Brother Hanwen. Older Brother Hanwen.
Stinky monk. Stinky monk, tell me, quick.
Stinky monk! I'm asking...
Listen.
What's there to listen to? I'm talking to you!
Why are you going to my sister's home?
Stinky monk! If you have the ability, come at me. Wait for me!
Hanwen, what's happening to you?
Hanwen.
What's going on here, what's this?
There was a big white snake.
A white snake killed Hanwen.
Hanwen.
Nonsense, not possible!
My sister. How could the white snake kill Master Xu.
Where's that white snake?
Wake up, Hanwen.
I'm asking you a question. Where's the white snake?
Hanwen, wake up, please.
Hanwen's fate is tragic, to be killed by a snake.
Where did your sister go?
The moment you came in, you're concerned about that snake. Didn't ask a thing about Brother Hanwen.
Amitabha. Sure enough, it's mischief caused by a snake spirit.
My anti-demon talisman countered the thousand year old spirit, impossible to escape.
So it was you! I'm going to kill you! Husband!
-Elder Sister! -Husband!
Sorry, so sorry!
Husband, Husband!
Suzhen, weren't you also in the room just now?
The two of you were together. What in the world happened?
It's because I wasn't by his side.
Say something!
Where in the world did you go?
This white snake killed a life, why isn't the Sounding Staff moving?
Is it possible that I've blamed her wrongly?
Jing Ruyi, you knew early on that something's wrong with the Buddhist beads, didn't you?
Buddhist beads? What Buddhist beads?
What Buddhist beads?
Stop!
Master!
-Brother-in-law, -Yes?
You and Ruyi bring Sister-in-Law into the bedroom to rest first.
I'd like to be with Hanwen.
Wife, let's leave first, alright? Let's leave.
Come
Sister!
Master, I beg you to save my husband.
No matter what the price is, I beg you to please save him.
Elder Sister, don't be like this.
He is but an ordinary monk, why would you beg him.
His soul hasn't totally dispersed, so there must be a way to save him.
Amitabha
A dead person can not be resurrected.
I can't save him.
Husband, Husband.
Husband, please wake, please wake.
Elder Sister.
Elder Sister, drink a bit of porridge,
is that alright?
Xiao Qing, did you know,
this painting was painted by me and Husband.
We promised each other
that we'd go and visit this landscape each year,
then paint and write poetry when we return to keep as a memento.
Elder Sister.
How could he break his promise?
He clearly said that we'd hold hands and grow old together.
How could he turn out this way?
Elder Sister, please don't be like this, alright?
Husband, Husband.
Elder Sister, Master Xu is already gone.
No.
He's still here.
My spirit pellet is in his body.
I've also always been transferring my energy to seal his seven apertures (eyes, ears, nostrils, mouth)
As long as his soul hasn't dispersed, he can't be considered dead.
No. He's already gone.
You've already wasted so much of your energy. Even if you continue like this,
Master Xu still won't be able to come back.
I know that there's still a way.
What are all of you doing?
We invited some people to bury Brother Hanwen.
No, my sister won't agree to this.
Your Elder Sister...when something happened to Hanwen, she escaped on her own.
Who does she think is watching her putting on this act?
The weather is so hot right now, we need to bury Hanwen as soon as possible.
How can you say that about my sister.
Have you any idea how much my sister has done for Master Xu?
My sister is having such a hard time in there, can you not see it?
Xiao Qing, be quiet.
Sister-in-Law, consider it as me begging you. Please don't take Husband away.
Do you really think that I'm willing to be separated from him?
But Hanwen has already passed away.
We have to allow him to enter the earth and rest in peace.
Sister-in-Law, listen to me, it's still possible to save Husband.
Sister-in-Law, stand up first, come, stand up first.
Sister-in-Law, stand up first, alright?
Listen to your brother-in-law. Hanwen has already left for three days.
We can't continue to deceive ourselves.
I'm not deceiving you.
Elder Sister, go and look, Hanwen is still alive.
He's really is still alive, please take a look.
Suzhen, Hanwen's body is already cold.
Don't continue to deceive yourself.
The dead who is not put to rest will become a wandering ghost,
with no way to reincarnate.
Sister Bai, if you really love Brother Hanwen,
why don't you let him go peacefully.
Gongfu, tell people to carry him away.
Carry him away.
Who dares?!
Suzhen,
enough out of you.
If you really love Hanwen,
when the white snake appeared, why did you abandon him without a care?
Sister-in-Law, I had a difficulty that left me with no choice.
I don't care what difficulty you have.
Now that Hanwen has already left,
I...I just hope that in his next life,
there'll be no storms, no wind, he can be safe and happy.
But you're always obstructing us like this,
how can you be this evil?
Jiaorong, Jiaorong, it's alright.
Sister-in-Law, don't put it to heart, your Sister-in-Law is just anxious.
However, Hanwen has already passed away for three days. We really have to bury him, you know, Sister-in-Law.
Sister-in-Law, Hanwen really hasn't died. I really can save him.
You're simply insane.
Gongfu, tell people to carry him away.
Carry him away.
Sister-in-Law, three days, give me three days.
Within three days, I'll find a way to save Husband for sure.
I beg you, I'm begging you.
Fine.
I'll give you three days' time.
Within three days, if Hanwen can't be saved,
you also don't need to return, either.
You're still young, a long life lies ahead.
I'll release you to find your own future prospects.
Sister, how can you agree to this kind of request from them?
Master Xu certainly can't be brought back to life.
Xiao Qing, I know of an item that can save him.
Help me do something. Find Fa Hai and bring him here.
I don't have anymore time, I want to save him tonight.
Husband's seven mortal forms already dispersed, life soul already lost.
only heaven and earth soul remains, attached to his body by my Spirit Pellet.
With birth comes the souls, with death comes dispersal.
Three immortal souls and seven mortal forms have already mostly left.
It's truly difficult for these two remaining lonely wisps of souls to last.
Your doing this merely delays the inevitable.
Each person has their fate, why must you be so persistent?
Master, Husband's body died, but his soul didn't disperse, can this not be heaven's will, too?
This Eternal Lamp can buy me three days worth of time.
If I can save Husband's life, I'll comply with anything you decide.
It's just...Suzhen has a presumptuous request.
Speak.
Xiao Qing's cultivation is weak, while this lamp absolutely can't be extinguished.
May Master lend her a hand.
Since two wisps of his soul still remains, your doing this doesn't defy the natural order.
Saving one life is more beneficial than building a seven-tiered pagoda.
I will do all that I can.
Sister!
How do you plan on saving Master Xu?
If you don't tell me, I won't let you go.
Xiao Qing, when I was at Emei and hid inside the scripture pavilion, I read
that there's a celestial grass on Mount Kunlun which takes shape once every five hundred years.
It can assemble souls and bring the dead to life.
Mount Kunlun?
That's a territory belonging to immortals, forbidden to us demonkind.
You're sending yourself to your death.
As long as I can save Husband, how can I be afraid of the underworld or the boundless heavens? I'll charge through them all.
Then I'll go with you. An additional person is an additional helping hand.
Your cultivation is shallow, it'll be even more dangerous with you going.
Just stay here. Only with you at his side guarding his body
will my efforts not result in failure at the end.
There's the monk inside.
Sister, with you going all along, how can I...
A thousand years of cultivation allows me to easily perform sixty-four transformations. (a level of magical power)
It's only the Kunlun Mountains, that's nothing to me.
Xiao Qing, my spirit pellet is inside Husband's body. I'm afraid that greedy evildoers will covet it.
You are the only one who I trust the most. I'm entrusting my husband to you.
Sister, do not worry.
I will definitely take care of Master Xu well.
I know.
- That's really... - Don't say anymore.
Are you hiding anything from me?
On the day of the Dragon Boat Festival, Xu Xian had Sister Bai drink realgar wine.
Sister Bai's body couldn't stand it and turned back to her original form.
Xu Xian was shocked and died.
Xu Xian died?
Did you say Xu Xian died?
That useless creature.
Suzhen, Suzhen. I already told you earlier.
A mortal only covets your exterior appearance. They can't accept your true form.
You have come to your senses now.
Her beloved one died. Older Sister is very sad.
She has already left Lin'an
and headed towards the direction of Mount Kunlun.
Kunlun?
If she wants to go back, she should go back to Emei. Why Kunlun?
What did you say? Mount Kunlun?
Yes.
This is bad. She must be getting the medicinal herbs to save Xu Xian.
I'm going to stop her.
Longevity Immortal unexpectedly has left Li Manor.
Heaven is also helping me.
You are indeed here.
Jing Song, what are you doing here?
If I didn't come, wouldn't you have died for nothing?
This is Longevity Immortal's territory. The crane and deer immortals under him are powerful.
Especially that crane immortal, he's inherently able to subdue you.
You want to obtain the medicinal herb to save Xu Xian. Don't you want your life?
This is my personal matter. How matter how serious it is, I will bear it.
Go back.
If you are stubborn over other matters, I wouldn't bother but not for this.
Xu Xian is already dead.
You can retrieve your Spirit Pellet and go back to Emei.
A mortal is not risking your life for.
I'm helping you. How could you do this to me?
I'm saving my husband now.
Even if I'm struck by lightning and split into halves, with no hope of reprieve, I will fight for his life.
It's the critical moment now.
This is unreasonable. I don't want to see you make further mistakes.
Heaven Lake?
Older Sister.
Although Xu Xian's soul is gone, his flesh is undamaged
and will attract covetous demons.
It's day now. It will be more aggressive at night.
For the sake of that protection spell, you have to guard against an unstable mental state.
Otherwise, those demons will take advantage of it.
You make it sound so easy.
I wonder how Older Sister is now.
How can I keep still?
You're body is half celestial, so you're even more fated to be a deity.
If you can't stay still, chant the scripture with me.
Enough, stop chanting. I will keep still.
What are Bai Suzhen and Xiao Qing up to? Did you know?
Ruyi, that Fa Hai is inside the house.
The minute I approach, I'll be discovered. There's no way of entering.
Will they be able to save Older Brother Hanwen?
Ruyi, don't panic. Wait it's evening, you can draw away Fa Hai.
I will go against that five hundred year old Green Snake
I guarantee. I won't allow their wish to come true, alright?
Then let me ask you.
Is there any possibility for Brother Hanwen to revive?
Even that ray of hope...
I don't know.
However, having a person come back from the dead is as difficult as ascending to heaven.
The one who should die is her. Why didn't she go die.
Senior brother, you're hitting me again.
Master already said if I'm flicked a few more times, I won't be able to grow tall in the future.
Besides eating and sleeping all day,
you don't practice martial arts. You're like this, yet still want to grow tall?
Master left to take care of some things, why aren't you more watchful?
What if someone sneaked into our Spirit Pearl Island?
Don't worry, Senior Brother,
if this wasn't for high noon, when the Heavenly Pond mirage manifests,
even they came to Kunlun, ordinary people
wouldn't be able to even find the entrance. Who would be able to sneak in?
My good Senior Brother, I'm begging you,
just let me go eat a bit of tender grass and rest a little.
Go, just go, but if you dare to be lazy again, I'll tell Master.
Thanks, Senior Brother!
Even if you want to tell Master, you'll have to wait three more days.
Greetings, Senior Fairy.
I have come to Kunlun solely to ask for medicine.
Request for medicine. Kunlun's area,
This is not a place that an insignificant demon like you can barge into.
and even dare to covet celestial grass. Why don't you hurry and die!
You are a poisonous snake that does not even have a demon pellet. How dare you act so rudely at the Kunlun Mountains?
Today, I'm going to extract your snake gallbladder.
and have Master gift it to Exalted Lord Lao for refining medicines.
Suzhen, quickly leave!
Suzhen, wake up! Wake up!
What time is it now? Is the crane still here?
Suzhen, you have tried your best. Listen to me and come back to Emei, okay?
No.
If I cannot get the celestial grass, I will die alongside with the Official.
That crane must have been prepared early on.
You have no way to get close to the spirit grass.
Then I will exchange my life with him. If he wants my snake bile, I will give it to him.
Suzhen.
Do not panic. Listen to me.
I can help you revive Xu Xian.
You do not need to lie to me. I will go by myself.
Trust me. I can definitely revive Xu Xian.
I was once the golden rat who sat before the Buddha.
Due to using the golden lotus at Buddha's seat to polish my teeth without authorization that I was sent to the mortal world as punishment.
This rat tooth is a piece of my body.
It has been polished by the golden lotus and is invincible.
It can pierce time and send you to the past so you can revive Xu Xian.
Really?
This five petaled lotus created by the rat tooth can help you return to the past five times.
But reversing the universe requires expending a large amount of mind power as well as energy.
When returning to the past, you only have your previous cultivation to rely on
so you must only act within your abilities and mustn't go too far back in time.
If you were stranded in time, then there'll be no way of returning.
Suzhen, you must remember this.
Why is it like this? Is it possible that someone has arrived first?
Who is it?
Senior Brother, you returned?
Why are you sleeping like this? Were you not supposed to guard the celestial grass?
As of now, the celestial grass is gone!
Senior Brother, the celestial grass was taken away by Master.
Why should I guard it?
What? Master took the spirit grass?
You forgot?
Today is Queen Mother of the Western Heaven's birthday gathering. Master wanted to use the celestial grass as a present
and congratulate her at Jasper Lake.
That Master, really! Banquet at Jasper Lake,
He should have taken us two to see such a grand event like this.
I heard that the peaches of immortality there are big and sweet
I have grown this big and never eaten it before.
You left again? Do you think you are that incredible because you have wings?
Please come in.
Husband can't wait for too long. I need to get the medicinal herb as soon as possible.
It's just that, this place is heavily guarded. How should I enter?
We have to guard this birthday banquet strictly.
-Don't allow any irrelevant people to enter. -Don't worry.
-No irrelevant people are allowed to enter Queen Mother of the West's birthday banquet.
Dear Immortal Sir, my father is in a hurry.
He left behind a celebratory gift. Here it is.
- I especially came to send it. - Who is your master?
Eldest direct disciple of the Celestial Worthy of the Original Beginning,
Kunlun Mountain's Longevity Immortal
I heard that the immortal keeps the company of his crane and deer all year.
That's right.
Go in. Be careful that your master might blame you when he realizes that he forgot the celebratory gift.
Thank you, Immortal Sir.
I heard that the Longevity Immortal's crane is his most reliable disciple.
For such a big issue as losing a celebratory gift, why would he send a young deer spirit here?
Should we use the Xuan Mirror of Light to investigate the truth?
Where do you think this is? This is the Southern Heaven Gate.
Would any demons dare to enter here?
Perhaps that young crane needs to guard the Kunlun Mountains and could not leave.
I heard that this young deer is the most fun-loving. With this opportunity, he definitely fought to come.
There are Buddhas in all directions. The North Star Deity, five Lords of the Big Dipper,
also senior immortals from ten continents and three islands.
Although I cast a spell to suppress my demon aura, how could I escape the scrutiny of their spiritual powers?
Looks like I need to enter via another way.
