[The Legend of White Snake]
[Episode 24]
This is Mount Emei
That Snake Valley is my home
This is the territory of Shu?
My wife is so formidable. In the blink of an eye, we traveled a thousand li. (about five hundred kilometers)
That's Snake Valley
This area is truly beautiful and breeds talent.
No wonder Wife is so intelligent.
That's right, Jing Song should also be a spirit creature from Mount Emei.
Should we visit him?
True, he's here.
-Then let's go see him. -Alright.
Tell me, that Master Xu is so lovey dovey with Miss Bai
why is the boss always nit picking his faults?
You don't know about this now, right? She's jealous.
Don't think only about how boss has lived for more than five hundred years.
But actually, there's no one that has loved her before at all.
Think about it. The boss is also quite pitiful.
Tell me, it wasn't easy to change into a beautiful lady,
yet no one took a liking to her.
Since she was young, who else did she have by her side beside us?
There's only us that can stand her. Besides us four,
who else can love her as much as us? There isn't. Right?
Who said no one loves me?
Yes, yes, yes, you're correct.
Boss, whatever you say is right.
That's right, that's correct, you find Master Xu to be an eyesore,
It's totally not because of jealousy.
-Other people can't appreciate your good because you're good in a way that's too special. -Right, right, right.
Too special. Especially good.
Every single of you worthless blind people, I'm too lazy to bother with you.
Keeping company for five hundred years,
West Lake created a perfect match.
Pure, kind, incomparable beauty,
Four demons exist together forever.
Four demons exist together forever...together forever!
She laughed, she laughed.
Too lazy to care about you guys.
Jing Song was originally a golden rat who had already achieved the Dao.
But in order to help me steal the celestial grass,
he lost all of his cultivation, and his soul was scattered away.
What I owe him is too much.
Brother Jing, you sacrificed your life to help Suzhen and me.
I'm here to apologize for that.
With this petal as a cup, and the dew as wine,
Brother Jing, I drink to you. I will take good care of Suzhen.
I will not let you down.
Heaven is merciful.
I plead that Heaven bless Jing Song. That his soul will return to Heaven, and that he will recover his immortal body.
I hope that Heaven will answer my wife's wishes.
Say. They actually said I have no one to love me.
What do they know? Right?
Xiao Qing, be careful!
Xiao Qing.
Xiao Qing?
Xiao Qing!
That's strange. Can it be that my eyes are growing dim?
That can't be. Could I be hallucinating in broad daylight?
Don't worry. I promised Physician Xu that I won't catch snakes anymore.
I'll find a secluded place to release you.
I-
Tell me, that Master Xu is so lovey dovey with Miss Bai.
Why is the boss always nit picking his faults?
You don't know this now, right? She's jealous.
How can I be jealous? I'm so happy living by myself.
I'm so bored. I don't want to be alone.
Anyone who comes will do.
Xiao Qing.
Zhang Yutang?
What happened to you?
Yesterday, I went outside to hunt.
And came upon a strange, inexplicable rain
I got sick when I went back.
Where is Physician Xu?
He's not here.
you.. you really got caught by the rain and became ill?
You! You go sit down. Let me prepare a prescription for you first.
Sit, sit.
Sit. Wait a moment.
That's not possible. He's normally such an energetic person.
How can he suddenly become like this?
If he were to bite the dust, wouldn't I become a murderer?
Then I would have been wronged.
No, no, no. I have to quickly save him.
I have it.
A few blackberry lily. How many is "a few"?
Yellow medicine. A few Yellow medicine.
Let's see, what else. This
How is there no sound when you walk?
What are you doing?
Haven't you caught a fever? I'm gathering medicines on your behalf.
This figwort can cure fevers.
Just wait. I'll continue to gather medicine for you.
Figwort?
But from what I can see...this is Dangshen.
Dangshen?
How about...let's wait for Physician Xu.
I don't feel that bad. There's no rush.
Are you not anxious or do you not trust me?
I'm not anxious. I'm really not anxious.
Is it really just an ordinary illness?
Ordinary illness?
Come over here?
Let me tell you.
The sickness you have.
The sickness you have,
Be resigned to it.
Be resigned to it? What do you mean?
Can it be? I've caught something incurable?
Hunter...restrain your grief and accept it.
As a human...it's always been difficult to avoid death.
Physician Xu! Physician Xu!
-Save me! -What's the matter?
Xiao Qing...Xiao Qing said that I've caught something fatal.
I hope Physician Xu can save me!
Hurry and get up.
Husband, give Brother Zhang a proper examination.
Xiao Qing.
Physician Xu, please save me!
Brother Zhang, come with me.
Say, what happened?
I examined his illness out of good will.
It's just that I wasn't careful and confused Dangshen with figwort.
He made such a fuss.
I couldn't restrain myself...so I just wanted to scare him a bit.
You? Examined him? And even mixed up Dangshen and figwort?
Xiao Qing, is it that easy to be a physician?
Even when teasing people, you can't treat someone's life as a joke.
Sister, but he kills snakes.
Again? He's ignorant, so he's guiltless.
How about you? You know clearly, but still did wrong.
You watched our Brother Zhang getting scared out of his wits.
Go quickly and explain it clearly to him. Go.
Go.
Physician Xu, can my illness be cured?
Go home and drink some ginger tea, dispel the cold, no need for medicine.
No need for medicine?
Then...does that mean that there's no cure available?
My God...I'm so young.
My good days were just beginning.
How can I die right now?
Physician, no matter what, please save my life!
Brother Zhang, this illness of yours
is indeed not easy to manage.
Not easy to manage...so that means it is possible to treat it?
Physician Xu, why didn't you say so earlier? Scared me to death!
Then...how should it be managed?
The mountains are moist and damp...containing many toxins.
You hunt in the mountains all year...absorbed so much dampness, Yin energy,
that's why you contracted this illness.
If you want a full recovery, I'm afraid you can't hunt in the mountains any longer.
No hunting?
But besides hunting, I have no other ability.
Then how am I going to make a living?
Our Baohe Hall recently has need of an assistant.
If you don't mind it, you can come help.
Have him work at Baohe Hall?!
He doesn't know how to examine patients. If he prescribed the wrong medicines, wouldn't that be big trouble?
Physician Xu, I'm willing to stay at Baohe Hall as an assistant...I will absolutely be modest and studious.
If I pretend to know something I don't and prescribed wrong medicines,
may I die a terrible death!
you!
This is great! Brother Zhang, if you have any questions in the future, feel free to ask Xiao Qing.
Xiao Qing, teach him well.
Sure...but I'll make something clear first,
if you don't learn well, I won't give you your pay.
It's not a mistake to look for Physician Bai
That's right...her prescriptions are remarkably effective.
Don't worry, Physician Bai's medical skills are extraordinary.
-There's no problem in going to Physician Bai.
Alright
You've found Physician Bai, so don't worry.
This back of mine hasn't been well everyday.
Tell me, what's wrong.
Forget that Xiao Qing was being mischievous.
Why did you also team up and bully our Brother Zhang?
That Brother Zhang catches snakes for a living,
creatures that my wife sympathizes with.
It's something Xiao Qing also can't stand.
How can I hear and stand it.
Moreover, I merely advised him to put down the knife and stop killing.
Even if it's like that, we still shouldn't have scared him with a fatal disease.
That's just how Xiao Qing's personality is.
If we don't allow her to toot her own horn for once,
we don't know what other scary thing she's going to plan against that fellow in the future.
Moreover, hunting in the mountains is a dangerous profession.
Working at Baohe Hall is much safer than going hunting.
What a great Master Xu,
such a glib tongue...reasons for everything.
I can't argue against you.
Wife!
Let go, let go of me!
Ruyi, don't be foolish.
You're no match for that snake spirit.
Even if I have to die, I want Brother Hanwen to see that evildoer's true face.
Xu Xian has already awoken.
How can he not know that Bai Suzhen is the snake that scared him to death?
It's not enough that he knows. I want everyone to know.
Baohe Hall's Bai Suzhen is a snake spirit.
Ruyi!
Let go of me!
Let go of me! What are you doing?
Let me go, let go of me!
Even if you exposed Bai Suzhen in public
Xu Xian will still stand by his wife.
He wouldn't collaborate with you. Why must you embarrass yourself.
If it weren't for you, Brother Hanwen and I would've already become husband and wife.
Having Bai Suzhen take that position was all because of you!
Right now, I don't want to see you. Hurry and disappear!
What in the world do you want to do?
Ruyi, if you want to separate from me, kill me first.
Everything that I've done was because of you.
If I have to lose you, why not die at your hands.
You're not even afraid of death...then why not pit your life against Bai Suzhen?
What good is it for me to pit my life against hers? I'm not her opponent.
She has a thousand years of cultivation and even has Xiao Qing to help her.
Don't mention killing her. It's difficult to even injure her.
She has a helper. We can also have a helper.
Let me ask you. If we have an internal spy, how much confidence do you have of eliminating Bai Suzhen.
Internal spy?
If Sister Xu were to know that Bai Suzhen is a snake spirit, she'd be the first one to oppose her.
With her help, we'll have a chance to succeed.
What you mean is...
Borrow someone else's knife to kill.
Hanwen, you just recovered from serious illness and should nourish your health more.
Come...have more meat.
Sister, I caught a cold today and should avoid greasy foods.
Then eat a piece of fish.
Songsao fish...delicate and easy on the mouth....balanced in flavors.
Especially tasty, let me give you some.
I can't eat fish either, fish is a stimulant.
After eating, i'll be even more ill.
Then what will you eat in the future?
-Vegetables. -Vegetables?!
Vegetables? How can vegetables be nutritious enough?
Elder Sister, I'm afraid of dying.
Chickens, dogs, crickets, and ants all cling to life.
After the big illness last time, I made an oath to be vegetarian for the rest of my life.
I shouldn't kill other lives for the sake of my desire for delicious foods.
This...
Since you're going to be vegetarian, wouldn't you have to give up a lot of delicious foods?
Only by giving up little desires will we store up big blessings.
Glib tongue...tell me...is it because of me that you became vegetarian?
Only when I visited Snake Spirit Valley today did I understand
what it means by 'all living things have a spirit'.
Having seen life, I'm reluctant to see death.
How can I harm other living things for the sake of satisfying my taste buds?
You're not religious, yet have such a merciful heart.
Wife, from today onward, I'll cultivate together with you.
Will the two of us be able to bear fruit together?
Husband also wants to become an immortal?
Being able to be together with you, I only envy Mandarin ducks, not envy immortals.
But it's a pity, a mortal's life is short.
If one day, I can no longer be by your side,
how can I bear to have you go on alone?
In the past, when I was cultivating, in regards to time, a thousand years was but an instant.
I wasn't afraid of loneliness and also wasn't afraid of the long years.
But after being together with you,
I can't stop thinking of each day and night and want everyday even more.
Husband, even if we can't help but be separated in the future,
whether it be heaven or hell,
I'll still find you for sure,
and continue our ties together. Do you believe me?
I believe you. Even if it takes a thousand years to return,
I'll also always be waiting.
Husband truly is my soul mate.
Wife, then how do you plan to repay your soul mate?
That? Come with me.
Come.
Hanwen.
Hanwen?
Could there be something wrong with my eyesight?
I exist in the mortal world, but don't know how beautiful it is.
Only now that I'm standing here looking at the lights from a thousand homes do I understand
that the most common things in the world can actually be
the most beautiful.
It's such a pity that there's no moon and no stars tonight.
Otherwise, I can share the view with you.
Husband, you don't need to feel regretful. I stored a flask of moonlight previously.
Let's borrow these lights from the mortal world so we can share a view of stars and moon.
-Hanwen. Hanwen!
Instead of sleeping, what are you doing running around in the middle of the night?
Hanwen doesn't eat any meat or fish now.
I'm afraid that he'd be hungry, so I brought some food for him.
I called out so long, but they didn't answer.
I don't know what they're doing in the house.
A young married couple extinguished their lights. What can they be doing?
They must have left.
Left? -I didn't see them leave.
Our residence is so big, how can you
-Elder Sister -Look, look!
Why are you here?
When did you guys go out?
How come I didn't see you leave?
After we finished dinner we took a walk outside. You were in the kitchen and probably didn't see.
Look!
This...I bought some fashionable flower patterns. If you like them, please take it.
Look, look! This sister-in-law. What did I say to you?
Such a big courtyard, how can you see people come and go.
It's fine now. Give Suzhen the things. Let's go back to our room.
Allow me, Sister.
Then...we're leaving.
Go back! Rest early!
This is not bad, take a look.
Let's go. Return to our room. I'm giving you the flower patterns, take them quickly.
Watch the ground under your feet.
Fire! Fire! Fire! ......Is there a fire?
-There's no fire. -What's up?
I can't sleep. I'm telling you
don't you feel that the two of them have been a bit strange recently?
I don't feel that the two of them are strange.
I feel that the two of us are a bit strange.
What the heck are you doing not sleeping in the middle of the night?
I'm telling you the truth.
That day,
I saw the two of them finish eating dinner and enter their room.
After that, Hanwen also told me that they left.
So who did I see enter the room?
What's there to talk about...after the two of them finished eating, they entered their room, right?
When you weren't watching, the two of them left.
When you were watching, the two of them came back.
Fine fine fine. I know, I know.
Even if I was mistaken, a few days ago, I went to their room to do some cleaning.
I wasn't careful and broke a vase.
Guess what happened?
Right now, that vase is sitting there just fine.
Tell me, is that strange or not?
Not strange at all! A few days ago,
when you weren't paying attention, when you didn't notice,
kabang!...I broke your porcelain statue of Guan Yin.
I took advantage of when you didn't know, when you couldn't tell ghosts or gods apart and casually bought another one...
and placed it there. You didn't even know about it up until now, right?
When did you break my Guan Yin?
That's a Guan Yin that I prayed for from Hidden Spirit Temple, you know!
You...you even randomly bought me a Guan Yin.
I was wondering why things haven't gone smoothly recently.
It's alright, it's fine.
I'll go find Hanwen right now to give you some sedatives.
-Sleep after you take the medicine. -No no no! I won't take sedatives.
I'm telling you, after the Dragon Boat Festival, our family has been really strange.
Tell me, has something entered our family?
I'm telling you, in our family, there is no unclean thing at all.
You're really...you've been too tired lately.
Just sleep properly. Everything will be fine tomorrow.
Come come come, sleep, sleep.
Let's sleep.
Xiao Qing, drink tea.
What did you call me?
Xiao Qing.
Don't have any manners! Master Xu already said
in the future, you need to follow me and learn the rules.
Tell me, what should you call me?
Master!
What Master?
You take us for some theatrical troupe?
Call me Boss.
Boss!
Louder!
Boss!
Then...
as a junior, you have to have the awareness of a junior.
In the future, you need to be the first to arrive at Baohe Hall.
Got that?
After that...this Baohe Hall,
whether inside or outside, you need to clean everything spick and span.
Yes!
Also...if someone were to come here looking for medicine, you need to be the first to help.
Yes!
But...I don't know medicines, Xiao Qing.
Boss!
How about you teach me.
This...is sweet basil!
Its effect...stimulate the appetite, invigorate the spleen.
cure anorexia and people suffering from bloating
That's not right. This is Resurrection Grass
When I went hunting before, I suffered some kind of fracture, so I crushed it to treat my wound.
I...actually, I purposefully said the wrong thing to test your knowledge.
This is licorice root.
Boss, this is pseudo-ginseng!
This is...Gastrodia elata
Boss...this is...the white radish that I purchased at the vegetable market today.
I randomly threw it in there just now.
I planned to cook it for dinner tonight.
It's a radish, you're absolutely right. You've done well this time.
That's true. I knew it! You were purposefully testing me.
Boss, you're so formidable,
how could you not even recognize a radish.
Zhang Yutang!
I'm telling you! You're not getting paid this month...not even a single copper!
I was merely joking with you,
why are you like this? Aren't you bullying people?
I'm indeed bullying you!
So what?
Xiao Qing, don't make trouble.
Physician Xu, Physician Bai, you be the judge.
Xiao Qing taught me randomly recognized medical ingredients, and even wanted to dock my pay entirely.
Who told you to criticize me...serves you right!
I wanted to be a good junior, but you don't have the sincerity to be a good teacher.
- I ! - Xiao Qing.
I'm really sorry.
Xiao Qing didn't have parents since she was little. She suffered quite a bit alone.
We indulged her a lot.
That's why her temperament is like this. May Brother Zhang be magnanimous.
Xiao Qing, she...also lost her parents?
Xiao Qing, your leg is so vicious. Vented your anger?
What vented anger?
It was this stool...it recognized its owner on its own.
Right...right...it's this stool that didn't allow me to sit.
Who told me to offend the biggest boss in Qiantang County.
I'm not going to fall for your tricks.
Who was it...who told Elder Sister on me, accused me of being insincere.
Just now...it's my wrong.
I apologize. I thought of a way to make up for it.
I heard that people managing the streets are preparing for a fair.
How about I accompany you to take a look?
I've watched it for several hundred years...nothing interesting.
Several hundred years? Boss, you really know how to joke.
Then...have you ever tried Aunty Zhang's honeyed powder ice?
Balanced flavors...lingers in the mouth.
A single bite,
during these hottest days, can invigorate you from your mouth straight to your heart.
Moreover, it's even paired with sweet wine inside.
Want to give it a try?
Since you want to eat it so much,
as your boss, I'll reluctantly go with you.
Lanterns
Be careful. Be careful!
Miss, are you alright?
Ruyi? Why is it you?
Ruyi, wait for me!
Younger Sister Ruyi, Sister Ruyi, don't run.
Sister Ruyi, wait for me.
Younger Sister Ruyi,
why did you run when you see me? Are you alright?
I injured Brother Hanwen during the wedding.
I really am ashamed to see you.
Don't mention what's already happened in the past.
In this matter, my Xu family has also wronged you.
Afterwards, Hanwen and I looked for you, but we couldn't find you however much we looked.
Tell me, where are you living now?
Are you doing well?
I'm just fine. You don't need to worry about me.
It's just there's something strange that
I had always wanted to tell you.
Tell me. What is it.
I think that even if I say it, you still don't believe it.
Just say it.
On that wedding day, I felt that there was someone
who grabbed my hand. That's how I stabbed Brother Hanwen.
I also felt that it's unimaginable.
But I really couldn't control myself that's why I injured Brother Hanwen.
Most likely I've encountered some evil demon.
If not, it's the house. There's something unclean in the house.
Think about it. First a huge python appeared in Brother Hanwen's room for no reason.
Immediately following that, he suffered from amnesia.
Then afterwards, I was forced to stab him out of the blue.
I heard that... there are some evil spirits that once they'd been provoked,
can cut off... a person's blood vessels.
This...if there's really a monster haunting our home,
then what should we do?
If there's really an evil spirit haunting,
you can only invite a godly immortal to eliminate the spirit.
An immortal?
Where to find this immortal?
Elder Sister, do you still remember Luzu Shrine?
Are you referring to Lu Dongbin, Lu the Progenitor?
Every year during his birthday, we all go visit the Luzu Shrine to greet the godly immortal.
They say that lighting incense there is especially efficacious.
They also say that this Luzu likes to descend upon the world fulfill one wish for each living being,
help all of us solve pressing problems.
Ok. Then... then should we go there or not?
I feel that this matter...it's better to believe it exists than to believe it doesn't.
As long as we're sincere,
he would surely be willing to help us.
Maybe we should go right now.
- Go. - Go.
- Good. - Good.
Great.
- Good! - Excellent.
Good!
Hurry...meat dumplings...give me ten!
Ten of them?! Boss, will you be able to finish them?
I can finish them.
You can't bear to buy it for me?
no no ...I'll buy them for you. Wait here.
Good...good.
Do it again...do it again.
Thank you.
Owner, make ten of him.
Xiao Qing.
Boss, I already got the buns.
Boss look, this is the honeyed powder ice. Lots of people are standing in line.
Go...stand in line for me.
Only after visiting this Luzu is my heart a bit more calm.
I hope that he can protect Hanwen from harm.
Tell me...do you think that he would transform into a mortal and visit Lin'an City?
Sincerity works miracles, if there's karma, he'd definitely help us.
Good, good, good.
Elder Sister, look, this little snake seems to be leading us somewhere
maybe...this is a sign from the godly immortal.
Xiao Qing, are you full yet?
Half full.
-Shopkeeper, one more bowl! -Wait..wait!
You've eaten ten plus bowls already. This honeyed powder ice ...is too cold.
Normally, I eat three bowls at most.
Zhang Yutang, you can't bear to buy it for me?
I'm not...buy...I'll buy...
Hurry and go!
-Shopkeeper, one more bowl of honeyed powder ice. -Isn't that Jin Ruyi?
Why is Sister Xu walking together with her?
Something's not right. What are they up to?
Hold it firmly.
Here comes the honeyed powder ice.
Xiao Qing!
Boss, I'd like one, too.
Xiao Qing, wait for me. Xiao Qing!
Careful. Over there.
There!
Older sis, look!
-Daoist? -Stop there!
The demonic aura on your body is too strong, don't come forward.
Is there really a demonic aura on my body? What should I do?
Is Immortal Lu giving guidance?
Then he must be here to help Elder Sister Xu.
Since it's like this, then why must you keep us at a distance?
As long as you're willing to help, I, Jin Ruyi, am willing to pay any price.
What if I want you to jump from this cliff?
-I'm willing! -Ruyi!
