The Legend of White Snake
Episode 25
As long as you're willing to help, I, Jin Ruyi, am willing to pay any price.
And f I want you to jump from this cliff and commit suicide?
- I'm willing. - Ruyi!
Ruyi? You don't want your life anymore?
Elder Sister, the Xu family is in danger. How can we manage without the immortal's help?
Even if I were to give up my life, I still need to have the immortal help you.
Good. Since you have already recognized my true identity and passed my test,
I will help you.
It's correct that Xu Xian is my little brother.
The demonic aura on your body is dense,
because a thousand year old snake spirit is forcibly occupying your home.
The snake spirit is an expert at taking human form.
Your ordinary human eyes have difficulty in distinguishing.
Snake spirit taking human form?
Then what should I do?
From what my heavenly eyes can see, your husband is a constable.
- That's right. - He previously subdued a centipede spirit.
And also dealt with a fox spirit.
Causing evil spirits to fear and be full of resentment.
Two months ago, that python
already made a move against your family.
Carefully think about it, were there any strange events happens in your family recently?
what kind of strange events happened in your family?
I beseech Immortal to save my younger brother.
Who's that old guy?
Looks a lot like the Luzu statue I bought at the vegetable market.
Moreover, I bought it on clearance. Only cost me five copper coins.
No wonder he looks so odd.
But what are they saying, acting all weird.
Too far. Can't hear.
I've already removed the demonic aura from your body, it's no longer a problem.
Then I beseech Immortal to visit my manor.
My younger brother's body also has demonic aura. Please help him remove it.
Removing the demonic aura doesn't remove the root cause.
If you want to remove the danger from your home, you need to first deal with the snake spirit.
That thousand year old snake spirit is powerful, it's difficult for ordinary spells to subdue it.
We need the heavens to issue a command.
Snake spirit?
This command token can bring the heavenly troops and heavenly gods upon the world to slay demons and eliminate evil spirits.
Thank you Daoist. Thank you Daoist.
That person actually pretended to be an immortal to swindle Elder Sister Xu.
- No good! I'm going to deal with him. - I'll go with you!
Xiao Qing, what's wrong?
Stomach..ache.
Zhang Yutang! Did you put poison in the honeyed powder ice?
I didn't!
You ate so much, it would mess with your stomach for sure.
Zhang Yutang, I'm dying because of you!
Xiao Qing, I'll bring you back to Baohe Hall to see Physician Xu.
Hold on tight.
Who's in the painting?
That's the founder of herbal medicine, Chunyang Zi.
Brother Zhang brought it here. He's really thoughtful.
He's Immortal Lu?
How can Immortal Lu look like this?
Is it possible that the painter painted his own image?
If the painter were to hear my wife say this, he'd probably be incensed.
You don't know it, but Immortal Lu is handsome and has an elegant bearing.
His appearance is nothing like this.
Then is it really true that he's a distant relative of your younger sister?
What distant relative?
Lu Dongbin flirts with White Peony Fairy three times.
Where did you hear about such amorous affairs? Following bad examples?
I certainly haven't followed bad examples. It's simply impossible for my heart to hold anyone else.
I only care about my wife.
I'm not fooling around with you anymore. Elder Sister said that we need to return for lunch earlier today.
That's right! Then let's return right away.
[Yichun Hall]
Hurry! Kick him out for me!
You guys...how can you see death but refuse to help.
Go!
- Elder. - Elder.
Are you alright?
Husband, treatment for this patient can't be delayed.
But Yichun Hall refused to treat him. What should we do?
We'll pay his medical fees on his behalf, then this clinic will have no reason not to accept him.
You wish! This stinking beggar looks like he's going to die soon.
I'm telling you. Leave quickly. Don't loiter here and dirty my place,
destroying the reputation of my Yichun Hall!
You're a physician . How can you speak so rudely to a patient?
Opening a medical clinic should be for the sake of saving lives. Since someone is willing to pay on his behalf,
why would you not accept this patient?
I say, are the two of you here to destroy this place?
They say to be in the same profession is to be enemies, but your intentions are simply too sinister.
This old beggar actually contracted and incurable disease. Your Baohe Hall doesn't treat him,
why would you force him on my Yichun Hall?
Preposterous!
Wife. Let's bring the elder back to Baohe Hall.
Elder. Come.
Come. No need to rush.
Elder, your pulse is really strange.
Does your heart beat irregularly, and are you short of breath everyday?
My pulse sometimes jumps and sometimes doesn't.
Breath...sometimes there is, sometimes not.
This is the first time I've seen such symptoms.
Then... what medicine do you plan to use on me?
I plan to use moschus, snow drop bush, bezoar.
cinnamon, toad venom, borneol, and ginseng.
- They can relieve your angina. - If you're going to use such valuable medicines on me,
why don't you just directly bury me and be done with it. You...
Don't say that. Let me consult the medical books again.
Elder. Are you hungry?
How about eating some rice porridge, first?
I'm an old man who's about to die, but you actually don't give me anything good. Instead, you give me...
plain porridge and pickled vegetables.
When you get better, you'll live for a hundred years.
This plain porridge is best for recuperating. Once you get better, I'll personally cook whatever good foods you'd like.
You can eat freely then.
If this life of mine requires a mountain of gold to sustain it,
how would I dare to live for a hundred years.
Let me be a ghost with a full stomach, why don't you.
Die early, reincarnate early.
Elder, don't worry. My husband is an intelligent person.
He'll very quickly be able to find some cheap medicines to cure you.
Believe me.
If you can't find a good remedies, just give me some good wine, good food...
Allow me to die.
Don't look down on Baohe Hall. All of the patients at Baohe Hall
won't easily be accepted by the king of hell.
Let's go.
Dear wife, you've suffered wrongs.
What is there to complain about?
The old man is near death but is rejected by Hui Chun Hall.
No wonder his temper is bad.
I've already made a boast.
You'll need to find the right prescription to cure him.
My wife.
People are afraid of demons and monsters.
But in my eyes, a creature like you
is the most compassionate and the most pure.
In this world, only you know what I am but not fear me.
You also love me and protect me.
I do not regret marrying you.
You you you...just now, you rambled all over the place
and even posed as some Immortal Lu.
Why didn't you just tell Sister Xu that
the white snake spirit in their house is Bai Suzhen.
If I tell her, she probably won't believe me.
If you don't expose her,
then I will waste all my arrangements.
It's not wasted. Xu Jiaorong is already hooked.
Don't fool me.
If that token is any good, why did you just bring it out today?
That token is real.
It came from a heavenly saint's place.
Haven't I told you many times?
In my previous life, I was the Most Exalted Lord Lao's pill guarding boy.
Silver Boy, I've used a thousand years
to collect the spiritual essence of heaven and earth.
All of the essences are being refined into the cure-all medicinal pill inside the cauldron.
When I am not here, you must guard the cauldron with care.
Remember, you must not neglect even a little bit.
Yes, Master.
Peach Blossom Valley's Immortal Lingrui greets Exalted Lord Lao.
Command token.
Ruyi, I was an immortal.
I became a demon based on one wrong decision.
But I never would have imagined that
you would leave Peach Blossom Creek
and follow me to the mortal realm.
Don't give credit to yourself.
Since you keep promising that this Celestial Token can overcome Bai Suzhen,
then I'll wait to see what kind of ending she'll have.
Dispersing soup? The licorice is double than the original prescription.
Three coins of mild fragrant grass.
Was it tested?
This child means well.
There's still something missing here.
I'll add a little for him.
Old Mister, the medicine is ready.
This is a new heart-nurturing broth that my wife and I just brewed.
It's good and inexpensive. It can alleviate your heart condition.
What is this stuff? Why does it smell so bad?
Good medicine tastes bitter.
Add some licorice, red dates, and condonopsis radix.
Then it will taste better.
Licorice?
Old Mister casually said something and it has fulfilled everything that the heart-nurturing broth is meant to do.
This little wife is smart with a good head.
But, don't you smell?
I... am so stinky and dirty.
How can I eat anything?
You are right, but your pulse is unstable.
Have some medicine first so that you can bathe and change into clean clothes.
I'll take it this one time.
Remember to add the extra ingredients next time.
After I take it, I'll take a bath.
Remember to add artemisia leaves and tea leaves.
Yes, thank you for the reminder, Sir.
This tastes terrible. So bitter.
I know you don't like the bitterness, so I've prepared a dessert.
What is it?
It's made with honey. Perfect for your condition.
Sir, come slowly.
We've added the herbs that you requested into the bathing water.
I'm sure it will be helpful to your scabs.
Of course it will be helpful. Am I stupid?
You are a medical expert who doesn't show off.
I learned a lot today.
Husband, you've reminded me of a scene in the drama.
The husband would be like you, being so nervous outside the door.
I think so too.
You couple make fun of me.
I don't feel happy about it.
So, I couldn't give birth for you. Are you disappointed?
Sir, please forgive me. I really wasn't polite.
I tell you. What you and your wife tell each other privately is really not good for my ears.
Let me teach you a tip. Next time, if you are going to talk like this. Close the door and whisper.
Also, you saved my life today.
This medical book from my family's legacy is wasting time with me.
I'll give it to you as a memento.
No. Since it's your family's legacy, how can I easily take it from you?
Don't misunderstand. If I don't want it, it doesn't mean it's worthless.
I don't mean that, Sir.
It's easy to repay monetary debt, but difficult to repay kindness.
I already gave you the medical book. It's up to you to keep it.
- Sir, I saved you... - No, no, no.
Enough, enough, enough.
Don't nag me. It's bothersome.
He means well. Why don't you accept it then.
Then I will accept it.
What is that sound?
Put me down.
Xiao Qing, Xiao Qing, are you all right?
Such fierce thunder.
These evil immortals. Are you hear to kill me?
Watch out!
Why is it thundering all of a sudden?
Dear wife, let's go inside.
Come, let's go back to rest.
It's thundering.
What's the matter? I came out for some fun.
Do you have to show off with lightening and thunder?
Who can you scare?
This is a land of trouble. Best not to stay on.
Farewell.
Xiao Qing, are you alright?
You're not hurt, are you?
Xiao Qing, why are you crying?
Are you alright?
Who said I cried?
You'd better forget all that happened just now, or I'll be mean to you.
Alright, alright.
I dirtied your handkerchief. I'll wash it clean for you.
Jiaorong. Jiaorong.
Jiarong!
Jiarong! My wife!
Are you alright? What happened?
I am sleepy.
Sleepy? Come. Let's go back to the room.
Go back to sleep.
Let's go. What's happened, My wife?
Why did you get so sleepy?
Master, even though we only met for one day,
but you've given us the recipe for heart-nurturing broth and saved our lives.
Someone is a teacher if he points out one erroneous word. You are my teacher for one day.
Once a teacher, I will forever pay you respect.
Disciple Xu Xian greets Master.
Thank you, Master, for your kindness.
I will wholeheartedly continue to help people to repay your kindness.
Master gave me a book of wisdom.
Shengji San? [ Chinese medicine for detoxification ]
When Master had ulcer, did he use this for treatment?
Thank you, Master, for granting us miracle medicine and the medical book.
Your Older Sister, that day...
Sister, it was a nightmare. Don't be afraid.
- Jiarong. - Sister.
Jiarong, what's the matter. - Sister, don't be afraid.
Here, lie down.
Gongfu, let me tell you.
I dreamed of Immortal Lu Dongbin, and he told me
that if I ever believed in rumors again, there'd be trouble at home.
Then I saw many demons and monsters
lifting our house up
and threw it into the West Lake.
We were still inside the house.
It's just a nightmare. Don't keep thinking about it.
Immoral Lu, where did he come from?
But this Immortal Lu was really strange.
He was not saying the same story.
He first said there was a demon in our house.
That's why we had many troubles.
Now he says if I believe in these demon talks, there'll be problems.
Isn't this strange?
Sister, the Immortal Lu that gave you the amulet must be a pretender.
That's why another Immortal Lu warned you against believing in demons.
That's right, Jiarong, don't be afraid.
But don't be like this anymore.
Is that Immortal Lu helping people or hurting people?
Luckily you are all right. If something really happened to you, what would I do?
But, even immortals have fake ones?
But that Immortal Lu was introduced by Ruyi.
He really knew magic.
Sister, you mean this Immoral Lu was introduced by Ruyi?
Yes.
Sister, that Immortal Lu must be a scammer.
Did Ruyi get cheated?
Ji Ruyi is not that stupid.
- What's the matter with the girl? - She is the one behind all this.
She wants to set us up.
Xiao Qing, what's the matter?
- We... - We went to the mountain to gather herbs.
We ran into Jin Ruyi and that charlatan. They are clearly together.
Jin Ruyi covets Brother-in-Law, so she arranged to have SIster Xu bring in the charlatan.
She clearly wants to kiss us all.
Xiao Qing, don't talk nonsense.
I'm not talking nonsense.
When Jin Ruyi was down, she was helped by my sister.
Who knew that she would continue to scheme in the hopes that Brother-in-Law will turn to her.
But someone would actually defend her.
No more this kind of talk.
Sister, you only recognize someone else's sister and not your own?
You defend her, then I'm a busybody.
Suzhen, this time I was careless in thinking.
You and Xiao Qing, please don't resent me.
Wife, I'd have to say something.
Ever since Sister-in-Law came to our family,
she's been mutually affectionate with Hanwen.
All the neighbors like her.
But you, instead of believing our own family,
actually believe someone else and causing trouble in our household.
Today, I don't mind Xiao Qing saying what she said.
Xiao Qing, are you hurting again?
- What happened to her? - She got poisoned.
Poisoned?
Sister, that bowl of honey ice, what kind of poison is it?
Is there an antidote?
There is no antidote for it.
No antidote?
Then I'm really dying?
Then if anything happens to me, my four demons...
Sister, promise me.
You'll take care of my four demons.
Also... also... Zhang Yutang.
Mister Zhang? He's been worried about you and is waiting outside.
I got poisoned by eating his honey ice.
But sister, that honey ice was really delicious.
I just ate a little too much.
Sister, if I'm really dying,
don't be angry with Zhang Yutang.
Xiao Qing, you've grown up and matured.
You... are even reasonable now.
Sister, I'm dying and you're laughing.
Do you feel bloating pain in your lower abdomen, and your limbs feel weak?
Sister, you mean
I...
Congratulations, Xiao Qing. You are now a grown female.
You mean, I'll have this trouble every month from now on?
Really?
I don't want to live.
Just don't eat anything icy cold, eat less spicy food, it won't be that bad.
No one has ever explained to me it's so troublesome to be a woman.
I thought being a woman is easy as long as I'm prettier than a man.
When I run into trouble, just be sweet and teasing,
men will soften up.
I never dreamed
I was sorely cheated.
The hardship is no less than what a man endures.
If I had known this, I should have cultivated to become a male.
Sister, is it too late to regret?
There is ying and yang in the world, and there are male and female people also.
Although there are many discomforts to being a woman,
but only a woman can give life.
This is the biggest blessing from Heaven to women.
What's so good about giving birth. I don't want it.
Brother Zhang, don't keep pacing back and forth.
If you continue, I'll be so dizzy.
Physician Xu, is Xiao Qing all right?
Xiao Qing is not sick.
Could Xiao Qing have become sick with some incurable disease?
Physician Xu, please tell me the truth. No matter what kind of illness she has,
I'm willing to take care of her forever.
Take care of her forever?
Brother Zhang, when did you start liking Xiao Qing?
She got sick this time because of me.
I will shoulder the responsibility.
No matter how expensive the medicine, just deduct it from my wages.
Who said I'm sick? You are sick.
Xiao Qing.
Let's go.
Brother Zhang, listen to me. You only need to remind Xiao Qing to drink more warm water with brown sugar.
Stay away from cold things. Also, avoid arguing when there is a problem.
I guarantee, she'll fully recover in three to five days.
All right.
Don't worry, it'll be fine.
This one is good. His ancestor was in the military.
And see how much he looked like me when I was young.
How is he looking like you?
No chin, looks lucky. This is so good.
Don't argue. I think this one is good.
This one can work. Look, it says his grandfather passed the national merit exam.
He later went to the royal court and became a minister to live at Lin'an. Oh, he is a Lin'An person.
- This one is good, too. - I don't know if Xiao Qing will like him.
Xiao Qing has high standards. This...
This one, too, having studied martial arts since childhood.
This is good.
You're here. Take a look. Does anything look pleasing to you?
This is...
I see that Xiao Qing is getting older.
So we asked the matchmaker to give us a list.
Xiao Qing isn't in a hurry to marry.
Not in a hurry? How can she not worry?
Xiao Qing doesn't have a family. We are her elders.
We cannot delay on this matter.
I still want to keep Xiao Qing for a few more years.
Rest assured, I can manage. You don't have to worry about it.
Sister, Brother-in-Law, I'll take my leave then.
Go back and rest early.
What did I say? She doesn't want to marry yet.
Why do you force her?
I'm curious. Why would an older sister not want her younger sister to marry?
What's wrong with that? The two sisters have a good relationship.
Dear Wife, you didn't get burned, did you?
I'm fine.
That scared me.
You came back from Baohe Hall looking worried today.
What's happened?
I've been thinking about Xiao Qing. Elder sister has arranged a few families for marriage.
I turned all of them down.
Time flies, Xiao Qing has reached marriageable age.
but I think my sister shouldn't worry about this matter.
Xiao Qing has her own mind.
You've noticed it too?
It's Yutang, right?
Xiao Qing is a big girl now. She is getting a taste of first love.
I've been neglectful, always thought Xiao Qing is still naive.
Who would have known that she and Brother Zhang have developed feelings over time.
But Yutang likes Xiao Qing too.
He is good looking and also hard working.
I think he is a good match to Xiao Qing.
But Xiao Qing cannot marry. She is a green snake spirit. If she marries a mortal,
there can be misfortune.
But, if there is true love,
who cares if it's human or spirit?
Are we not lovingly together, too?
I believe Xiao Qing and Yutang will be like us, too.
Xiao Qing is different from me.
Ever spirit possesses toxin in the body.
It is against celestial law for a spirit to be with a mortal. If they stay together, then the toxin will attack the heart.
Husband, you almost died back then because you were afflicted by my spirit's toxin.
But aren't we fine now?
Dear Wife, do you not have an antidate?
That wasn't an antidote. That's what I...
What?
I'm just a little worried. We also don't really know Brother Zhang.
You can accept me, but he might not.
Xiao Qing also has a temper. If she marries,
she probably won't like being restrained by her husband.
You make sense. I'll go ask around
whether Yutang has any relatives.
Marriage is a big deal, we can't be casual about it.
Are you really alright?
Xiao Qing, you are here.
- It's for me? - It's the new Loquat Paste, best for the throat.
You!
Yutang,
which medicine are you making?
It's so hot, you are sweating. Don't you want to wipe it off?
Didn't I give you...
a handkerchief? Why don't you use it to wipe?
Your handkerchief. I've washed it to give it back to you.
Here.
Don't dirty it up, I'll have to wash it again.
What a stupid goose!
How is this? Is the fan wind too strong?
I just finished making the medicine powder, but you blew it all away with the fan.
Fan the stove then, fan harder.
I'm not fanning it.
My hand hurts.
Let me see. Where do you hurt?
A little higher.
- Here? - A little higher.
- Here? - A little to the left.
Here then.
Still hurt?
It's taken you half an hour to wash a medicine bottle.
Xiao Qing.
Sister.
Let me ask you.
Lately, have you always wanted to stay near Brother Zhang?
He has a lot of work, but is so stupid.
Of course I have to help him.
Since he is so stupid. One person's work takes the time of two people.
Then I'll tell my husband to let him go.
No, Sister. Zhang Yutang used to hunt for a living.
Brother-in-Law said he got sick from hunting.
If he is let go, that will be bad for him.
Besides, even though he is stupid, but I'm willing to help him.
Didn't you dislike him before?
But I'm generous. I've forgiven him already.
Also, I don't think I dislike him so much anymore.
You don't dislike him now?
That means you like him then?
Yes.
