Legend of White Snake
Episode 20
Walk slowly. No need to rush. Good.
Come over here.
Looking at the way you're dressed, you should be from Qianyun Palace, how come I haven't seen you before?
I cultivated on Kunlun Mountain and only recently became a ranking immortal. I am new to this position and haven't met all of you.
So you're an immortal from Kunlun. My name is Yuluan,
I'm a cape jasmine from Baicao Garden. Xiying is Veronica linariifolia grass, how about you?
I...
Hedyotis diffusa is allegedly a gift from a snake spirit in the mountains.
I'm a Hedyotis diffusa, you can call me Xiao Bai ('Little Bai')
Xiao Bai, Immortal Officials Palace is before us,
All of the treasures here are priceless. Be very careful, don't damage them no matter what.
Immortal friend, where have you been recently?
Wait!
Why is your celestial aura so chaotic?
Immortal official, please don't blame her. This sister has only recently ascended to heaven from the mortal world.
I'm afraid the secular aura hasn't completely dissolved from her body.
So it's like that. Go in!
Qing Qiu presents one gourd of the Nine Changes Cloud Pill.
Bottle of Eight Treasures Violet Cloud Wine
Eastern Sea Dragon Palace presents one calyx basin made of Thousand Blossoms jade
From Clear Jade Mansion, one of Kunlun's heavenly deities presents one stalk of Relinquish Earth Resurrection Grass
-Present these treasures to the queen along with the other gifts.
Sure.
Liuchu, have arrangements been made for the immortals presenting gifts?
All females are at the hall below. May the heavenly consort make the final decision.
These strange creatures are truly increasing day by day.
Xu Xian body's is coveted by spirits and demons.
They won't give up easily.
Stinky Monk, look quickly! Is the fire light much dimmer than before?
The way the lamp is dying...
If Bai Suzhen doesn't return quickly,
I'm afraid Xu Xian won't make it.
These immortals, please stop!
It's the deity lord, Erlang
Oh no! Heavenly dog!
Audacious snake spirit, you actually dare to disguise yourself and enter the heavenly hall.
God Erlang, what are you doing?
Yangjian, what has happened?
Why did you bring a snake to intrude upon the banquet.
This snake spirit is audacious to the extreme. She actually dared to transform into an immortal to steal a birthday present.
Now that both the evidence and culprit are here, will the two Highnesses please judge.
What? An evildoer is unexpectedly behaving atrociously in my nine heavens?
Someone come!
May the Jade Emperor be placated,
Jasper Lake is an important place for immortals with layer upon layers of checkpoints.
This demon disregarded her life to steal a treasure,
there must be a story behind that.
It's not too late to punish her after asking about it clearly.
Where do you come from, whose orders are you following,
why intrude upon Jasper Lake to steal treasure?
May your Highness be placated, this disciple is Bai Suzhen from Mount Emei.
Stealing celestial grass is only a desperate measure due to desperate circumstances.
My husband is on the verge of death. The celestial grass is able to bring him back to life.
I beg that the two Highnesses permit me to save him, Suzhen is willing to bear any consequences alone.
A bunch of nonsense! How are you going to bear the consequences?
I must punish you today to warn others against following your bad example.
God Erlang,
today is the Queen Mother's birthday.
The three realms are celebrating. Why must you
turn this banquet into an execution ground
and ruin everyone's happy mood?
This snake spirit didn't actually create any big problems.
How about sparing her life,
and have her return to the mortal world.
That's right. From what I can see, this child doesn't appear like an evildoer.
These words are incorrect.
Everyone, there's a difference between the three realms, while juniors and seniors are of different ranks.
Even a little snake spirit dares to be impetuous in the heavenly realm.
If word were to spread, wouldn't this be a joke for the whole world?
Queen Mother, how do you think this matter should be handled?
White snake, I understand the deep love between you and your husband.
You have the heart to give up everything in order to save your husband.
But...the world can be created, and can turn to nothing,
while humans have birth, old age, sickness, and death.
It's proper for everything in this world to follow its course.
Order in the world can't be destroyed for your sake alone.
But seeing that there's no evil in your heart, your cause is for saving a person,
the death penalty can be waived.
Heavenly marshal,
Here!
Send this snake into the heavenly prison.
Your two Highnesses, Suzhen willingly accepts death,
and only beg for a stalk of celestial grass to save my husband's life.
Time flows on and on, life and death are fated.
Why must you be stubbornly persistent.
White snake, hope you'll think it through in the heavenly prison, let go of stubbornness,
and quickly cultivate successfully.
Someone come, take her away.
Presumptuous!
White snake, I couldn't bear to harm your life, why would you obstinately refuse to see sense?
Someone, tie her up and place her on the demon platform. Behead her immediately!
Two Highnesses, Suzhen isn't afraid of death. I'm willing for my soul to dissipate in exchange for my husband's life.
I only beg for the celestial grass.
Sister, please hurry and drink some water.
These previous few days, I've asked around for a good plot of earth.
Not far from Uncle LI's burial ground.
If Brother Hanwen can be laid to rest there, he should like it very much.
What's most important is that the price is also good.
Ruyi, it's been hard on you.
Also, this Baohe Hall is Brother Hanwen's life work
I can't let it go out of business like this. Let's open it again starting from today.
I'll have workers from Jishi Hall come over to help out. What do you think...
Ruyi, you're so thoughtful, Brother-in-Law
thanks you on Hanwen's behalf.
It's just that the three days' deadline has passed. Sister Suzhen still hasn't returned.
I'm worried that she won't agree for us to lay Brother Hanwen to rest.
What right does she have to disagree? She won't allow Hanwen to be buried.
Now, not even a trace of her is to be seen
She's just overly grieved and has no way of facing reality.
What overly grieved? Can it be that Sister-in-Law isn't grieved, Brother-in-Law isn't grieved?
We are all grieved here. Why is she the only one not coming?
Sister, time is passing day by day.
Is it possible that you don't want Brother Hanwen to be laid to rest?
Husband, let us see each other in our next life.
Please stay the blade and spare the person.
Guan Yin, why are you intervening on behalf of this white snake?
Your two Highnesses bear heaven's will, rewarding the virtuous and punish evil.
I really shouldn't say much.
It's just that this white snake wholeheartedly follows the Dao, saving thousands of human life.
The heavens treasure life
White snake violated heavenly decrees, but her merits offset her faults.
Her crime is not worthy of death. May the two Highnesses consider the fact that she wholeheartedly saves lives
and spare her life.
So it's like that. Heaven's ways are merciful.
White snake, considering how you cherish the common people,
save lives and cure wounds,
this time, you're spared from death.
I beg Your Highness to bestow a celestial grass upon me to save my husband's life. Suzhen is unwilling to live on alone.
Your life has already been spared, and you still don't know what's good for you!
Jade Emperor, please be placated. This Bai Suzhen and Xu Xian
has been predestined in their previous lives and are fated in this life.
Everything had been fated.
Bai Suzhen owed Xu Xian a debt of kindness.
Xu Xian hasn't exhausted his lifespan in this world. Today, at the Queen Mother's banquet,
don't know if the two Highnesses can bestow on her one stalk to save two lives
and have the demon realm and mortal world share in the blessings and happiness of this longevity birthday banquet.
Excellent, excellent.
Since Guan Yin plead for leniency,
and also because of the white snake and Xu Xian's predestined fate,
why don't we help them out for once.
White snake, once you've obtained the celestial grass, immediately go and save him.
However, you need to keep the heavenly laws in mind.
and don't act preposterously for the sake of your own desires again.
One day soon when you've cultivated successfully,
come to me again to ask for forgiveness.
Thank you , Queen Mother, for your grace. Thank you, Guan Yin, for interceding on my behalf.
It's crucial for the departed to be laid to rest.
Ruyi is right. Let's first encoffin him,
then lay him to rest.
Jing Song
I was able to wait for you in the end.
What's wrong with you?
Sending you to the past is a forbidden skill which defies the heavens.
For the sake of preserving the boundary for you to return,
I've exhausted all of my cultivation. Right now, I...
already have to way of maintaining human form.
No. You're the golden rat who's Sakyamuni's disciple. You're so formidable, there's no way you'd fade away.
Silly girl.
Even Buddha can die a happy death to nirvana.
How can I escape birth and death?
Suzhen
will you forgive me?
Don't say that, please don't say that. Tell me how I can save you.
It turns out that everything has already been destined.
Jade stone is fragile.
It seems this silver hairpin fits better in your heart.
Take this jade hairpin as a gift from me for your turning human.
Wife is so good to me,
from my perspective, how can there be any price I won't pay for you.
Using my entire lifetime's worth of cultivation
to exchange for one drop of your reluctant tear,
I'm content.
In the past, I'd always longed for you to cry for me.
But seeing your tears fall,
I'm unable to bear it.
Suzhen, promise me,
in the future, don't cry again.
From now on, you'll go through hardships alone.
No matter how bitter, or how difficult,
you still need to be happy.
No, Jing Song. Jing Song!
I'm sorry.
Why hasn't Elder Sister returned?
Tell me, Sister shouldn't have encountered any mishaps, right?
Hey, stop there! Who let you guys come in?
Sister Bai isn't here, so Sister Xu should be in charge. What are you so fierce for?
It's already been three days, can't be delayed any further. We need to immediately place Brother Hanwen in the earth to rest.
I don't care how many days you guys agreed on. I only know that before my sister returns, no one can take away her husband.
Xiao Qing, you protect your sister, but I also have to protect my younger brother.
Holding a corpse for days, not arranging his funeral, not burying him,
this wouldn't be acceptable in any family.
Carry him away.
Who dares!
Qing lass.
Go, go.
Xiao Qing,
Throughout his life, Hanwen hasn't looked down on you two sisters.
I beg of you, be magnanimous.
Allow Hanwen to go peacefully, is that alright?
Stinky Monk, why don't you say something!
The Longevity Lamp hasn't extinguished. Xu Xian's soul hasn't completely dispersed. There's still a chance for Xu Xian to turn around, isn't that right?
Hurry and tell them!
Amitabha.
Husband!
SIster-in-Law.
Sister, are you alright?
Xiao Qing, hurry and help me refine this celestial grass.
Sure! My sister needs to refine a medicinal pill, can't be disturbed. Please leave!
What celestial grass medicinal pill? Don't use these random things to defile Brother Hanwen.
Leave!
Qing lass! Ruyi, let's leave first.
Sister-in-Law, troubling you again.
Then may we trouble all of you.
Sister Xu, do you really believe that they can save Brother Hanwen?
If they delay further and miss the auspicious burial time,
we don't know how much hardships Brother Hanwen will endure in his next life.
Bai Suzhen is a miracle physician,
she must be able to save Hanwen, right?
Elder Sister,
if it can't be done, don't force yourself.
Currently, your body no longer contains your spirit core, and your spirit energy is nearly exhausted.
If you continue to use your powers, you'll definitely damage your vitality.
I can't give up at the last juncture.
Stinky Monk, what are you in a daze for? Think of a way quickly!
Bai Suzhen, have you really decided?
Decide what? Sister, is there something you're hiding from me?
Is there a problem with that celestial grass?
There are celestial plants on Kunlun Mountain that cultivators can use which can advance their cultivation by hundreds of years.
Common mortals who eat them can rise from the dead,
but he price for rebirth is to forget past mortal affairs,
cutting off love, regret, affection, hatred.
Therefore, this celestial plant is named Auspicious Clouds, and is also named Worldly Detachment.
Have you really decided to have Xu Xian eat Worldly Detachment?
Once he's eaten this,
you'll become his heart's demon.
It's certain that he'll be suspicious and unsettled about you.
He'll be subjected to every possible torment.
The short bond between you and him can only dissolve quickly.
Elder Sister, are you insane? If he wakes up, he'll no longer remember you.
Then how can the two of you still be husband and wife? Then what's the meaning of saving him?
Xiao Qing, you don't understand.
I really don't understand. But if he doesn't love you anymore, then what's the difference whether he lives or dies?
As long as I can bring him back to life, whether he remembers me is of no importance.
When a bright moon hangs in the sky and new snow stops falling,
I'll know that his footprints are on the ground.
He is looking in the moon's shadow. That's enough.
Master, please help me refine Wordly Detachment.
Maintain virtue and turn to heaven, abandon virtues and turn to demons.
Why is Bai Suzhen giving up a thousand years of cultivation in exchange for just Xu Xian's life?
Is it possible that I've been wrong all along?
Elder Sister.
Green snake, your sister's vitality has suffered damage. You have to help her go into closed door cultivation for three days.
That way she can maintain human form. Remember.

-Hanwen, Hanwen! -Brother-in-Law?
He's awake, awake!
-Hanwen -Brother Hanwen, slowly
slowly, slowly, slowly. That's grea! He's fine now.
Why are all of you here?
Hanwen...I thought that you...
Don't fuss, it's alright, wife, don't cry
This time Hanwen was able to be brought back to life all thanks to Suzhen, I'm telling you.
What's wrong?
You guys...who are you guys referring to?
Bai Suzhen. Brother Hanwen, you don't remember Sister Suzhen anymore?
-I don't remember. -This is bad, it's bad.
This..hope his brain hasn't been damaged. This brother-in-law of mine has been raised in vain.
Come, look at Brother-in-Law, look at me. How many fingers are here?
Gongfu. Hanwen isn't an idiot.
Fine fine.
Hanwen, Suzhen is your wife, don't you remember?
She's been so tired these few days that I had her take a rest next door.
My wife? When did I get married?
Why don't I remember that I have a wife?
Suzhen is your wife. You really don't remember anymore?
I don't remember.
Then do you remember what's happened during the last few days? Brother Hanwen, do you still remember me?
You...
You're Ruyi.
These few days? I can't recall what has happened these last few days?
If you can't recall what's happened, then don't try to. Careful of damaging your brain...hurry and rest.
Jiaorong, Jiaorong, this is bad.
Why is it that he can remember everything except for Sister-in-Law?
That's true. Suzhen and Xiao Qing are exhausted
and is also resting at home. Maybe in a few days, it'll be a bit better.
However, without mentioning other things, Hanwen being able to wake up this time
is truly to Suzhen's credit.
Hanwen!
How in the world is Sister Suzhen not well?
-Even if she's not feeling well, she still shouldn't conceal her sickness in fear of getting treated. -True true
There are skilled gynaecologists in Lin'an City
If she worsens, then what's to be done? It's not like prescriptions or medicines aren't available.
Currently, if we even approach within three meters of that room, Miss Xiao Qing would make a fuss.
Oh that's right, how about we go see Sister Suzhen first,
and allow Brother Hanwen to rest properly.
Don't don't don't. I tried that many times, but besides her sister, that Xiao Qing doesn't care about anyone else.
How about waiting for a few days, allow Hanwen to rest well, maybe their meeting will be a bit better then.
-Right right right. -Rest first.
-Lie down first. Come come, Hanwen, lie down first. -Lie down first.
Know the appearance
Think of the appearance
-In this life -My wife
Wife
Husband, just now...
Wife, you don't need to conceal it from me any longer, I know everything.
You already know everything?
That's why I came to say farewell to you.
You and I are different lifeforms, demon and human, destined to meet but not fated to be together.
But that's not what you said before. You told me that we'd be together forever.
My wife is really naive. There's a limit to a human's life.
My forever can not compare to your life span. It simply can't be as long as heaven and earth.
Husband, even if you've undergone a hundred reincarnations,
took to the skies, or fell into the Yellow Springs (underworld), I'd still find you.
You shouldn't continue to deceive yourself.
Once I drank the soup of forgetfulness and crossed the bridge to reincarnation, I'll forget you.
I'll also live with someone else for many years in the next life.
Therefore...how about we part right now.
Husband!
Wife, take care.
No!
Elder Sister.
You're finally awake. I was so worried.
You've exhausted your vitality and became unconscious for three days. I was so afraid that something would happen to you.
Xiao Qing, it's been difficult for you these past few days.
That's right, sister, Master Xu has awakened. Are you not going to see him?
Because of the Worldly Detachment plant, previous ties to the world has been severed.
Right now, to him, I'm but a stranger, that's all.
Since we can meet, but not recognize one another, meeting will only be vexing and useless.
Elder Sister
It's now deep into the night. I want to go outside and absorb the essence of the morning dew.
How about you stay here and rest.
Miss, be careful!
Are you alright?
I'm fine. Miss,
have we previously met before?
You should rest early. I'll go back first.
Suzhen!
You still know who I am?
They told me that my wife is Bai Suzhen.
That's you, is that correct?
I...I beg of you...
tell me...did we get along well before?
I'm gone through a major illness and can't remember anything anymore.
But whenever I think of you, my head would hurt,
a head splitting headache.
If you've forgotten, then just forget it. Don't continue to think about those things.
There's no longer any relationship between you and me.
How can you say this. Since we're already husband and wife, then how can we act like strangers.
Since the love is deep, how could it be so easily forgotten?
Our love fate had depleted. We don't owe anything to each other from now on.
Don't worry about this matter any further.
It will be dawn soon.
You worked late and didn't sleep. Rest early.
Miss.
You can't bare to let you Glow in the Dark Cup go?
No. I'm afraid it will injure your hand.
Blame me for being useless, for not being able to fight with Fa Hai
and letting Bai Suzhen succeed.
You are hoping for Brother Hanwen's death, correct?
Isn't that so?
That Bai Suzhen,
Older Brother Hanwen already can't remember her and she's still trying to use spells to seduce him.
She's really shameless.
Didn't you say,
Your previous reincarnation was the altar boy beneath the Dowager King's throne?
Yes.
Is this a kind of elixir
which could make a person
weak and can't get out of bed.
But it wouldn't harm the body.
Are you saying...
Cause Older Brother Hanwen to be gravely sick and let me have the antidote later.
I can't allow that Bai Su Zheng to get all the advantages.
Although she's saving Older Brother Hanwen
but I want Older Sister Xu see that,
I'm the only one who can truly treat Older Brother Hanwen.
They should be thanking me instead.
Ruyi.
Why did you wake up so early?
Older Sister, morning.
Seeing now gravely ill Older Brother Hanwen was last night,
I looked for my father's collection of ginseng.
I used it to cook chicken soup to boost his health.
Thank you very much, Ruyi.
You are not part of the Xu family
and you still treat Hanwen very well and took care of him night and day.
It has been tough for you.
Older Sister Suzhen has been missing for a long time.
Whether Older Brother Hanwen is doing well or not, she didn't even come here to ask about it.
I'm doing more to share your worries.
If she has brought the elixir two days earlier,
Older Brother Hanwen won't so be ill.
Older Sister wouldn't have been grieving for such a long time.
Suzhen has been abnormal for the past few days.
Hanwen is sick and she didn't even take care of him.
I don't know what's going on either.
Why is there a scent of the Spirit Capturing Powder?
Older Brother Hanwen.
Ruyi.
What did you feed him?
Chicken soup cooked with ginseng.
Older Sister, if you don't mind, there's still a hot pot of it.
Chicken soup? Why is there Spirit Capturing Powder in the chicken soup?
Spirit Capturing Powder?
I grew up in Jishi Hall.
I have never heard of this medicine.
Brother Hanwen started getting sick last night.
I wonder if he met someone he shouldn't have and was traumatized.
Older Brother Hanwen. What are you doing to him?
Let him go.
What's wrong?
Is Hanwen getting worse again?
Older Sister.
I...I was worried about Older Brother Hanwen. That's why I cooked soup for him.
Sister Bai kept insisting that there is something wrong with the soup and bothering him.
Look, it wasn't easy for him to drink the soup. He has vomited it out.
Older Brother Hanwen is getting worse now.
If it wasn't because you put the Spirit Capturing Powder inside the soup,
why is he still in an unconscious state?
I...
Look.
I'm not unconscious.
I will do what you want me to do.
I only beg that
you let Older Brother Hanwen go.
Suzhen.
You haven't been feeling well lately.
Ruyi has been taking care of Hanwen night and day.
I could see what Ruyi did.
Why could she possibly poison Hanwen?
Sister, it was I who was too rash.
You are right.
I definitely didn't do enough for the past few days.
It has been tough for Ruyi.
Ruyi, it has been tough for you.
Starting from today, I will take care of him.
Go back and rest.
She's driving me away. This...
Ruyi is an unmarried woman.
Under a melon patch, it's unavoidable that her reputation might get hurt.
No, Older Sister. I...
Older Sister, I'm a physician.
I can personally take care of him.
I have imposed on Ruyi for this period of time.
I shouldn't hold her up anymore.
If this is the case,
this is the best then.
Older Sister, I have been taking care of Older Brother Hanwen.
She's clearly the one who didn't want to see Older Brother Hanwen last night
and caused his illness to become worse.
When Older Brother Hanwen mentions her, his head would hurt.
How can you let her take care of Older Brother Hanwen?
Suzhen,
Hanwen's health just improved.
He can't suffer any more shocks.
Why don't we let Ruyi continues to take care of him?
Wife.
Husband.
Wife.
- Husband... - Wife!
Hanwen! Hanwen!
We already said that Older Brother Hanwen can't suffer further shocks.
Please leave now.
Hanwen, what should we do now?
Sister, I have this breathe patching medicine from Jieshi Tong Pharmacy.
I will let Older Brother Hanwen consume this now.
Hanwen, how do you feel?
Do you feel better?
Older Sister.
Ruyi, I...where am I?
You are at home.
Your illness came back, we got really scared of it.
You are...?
- Hanwen. - Older Brother Hanwen.
Older Sister, what should we do?
Suzhen, please leave now.
Don't show yourself for the time being. Alright?
Older Sister, I'm begging you.
Rest now.
Hanwen.
Older Sister, don't worry.
Older Brother Hanwen is fine now.
Younger Sister Ruyi, it was due to you just now.
I'm thanking you.
As long as Older Brother Hanwen is fine,
it's not a big deal even if I have suffered.
