The Legend of White Snake
Episode 29
Preposterous!
Fa Hai actually tricked me!
Sir, please be appeased. That night, Master Fa Hai said
Xu Xian's body contained a demonic aura. He suddenly took back his words.
Can it be because Xu Xian's helper is too formidable?
What do you mean?
How about we ask around a bit more for an even more powerful master.
You think that I still believe in those common magicians?
Big Dipper Divination....Prophet of fortunes and disasters.
I'm afraid there are problems with this manor.
Who came? Pretending to be gods, stirring up trouble.
Sir, I don't know how this person charged in here.
I...I truly couldn't stop him.
Who are you? You dare to trespass upon the prime minister's residence?
Sir, this daoist saw that an omen of mortal danger charged from your residence towards the heavens.
It's certain that in a short period of time, your decendents will be no more.
You yourself surely also feel ill at ease.
If you believe in me, then don't leave your home today.
To avoid the fatal disaster.
Absurd! Stop with the nonsense!
Someone come! Take away this evil daoist!
I only help people with affinity. If you don't believe me,
then you and I don't have an affinity. Farewell!
Sir...it seems that this person has some ability. How about...
Daoist, are you alright?
Thank you, Daoist, for saving my life.
Drawing talismans to banish monsters, connecting with Yin and Yang are my special abilities.
Prime Minister, this time, do you believe what I said?
Daoist is very powerful.
I admire you greatly.
I can be considered to have been blessed
to have received your aid.
Daoist, I'd like to ask your guidance regarding something.
Can we make time to chat?
Since I have an affinity with Lord Xiang, I'll naturally help relieve your worries.
Daoist, please.
Prime Minister, you first.
Daoist, how can this word be interpreted?
Tea? Person between grass and wood? (the word 'tea' is a combination of the characters for 'person', 'grass', and 'wood'. Some Chinese fortune tellers use words to do so.)
This is defending the mountain while besieged on all sides.
Very likely, Prime Minister has already met with your life's jinx?
Then let me change to another.
The word came from your heart. How can it be changed just because you said so?
Then what should be done, Daoist?
If you can help me surmount all of these difficulties, then I will reward you generously.
This is not difficult...it's just that...
Qinsan, bring over a bank note for a hundred taels of silver.
Yes.
When I entered this world, it was to help people who are fated.
It wasn't for the sake of materialistic gains.
Lord Prime Minister, your entire person exudes a noble aura. Currently, everything is not going smoothly, because someone is blocking your way to the mountain.
Get rid of this person and be saved from calamity.
Then, who is that person?
Mountain?
The person in front of the mountain is him.
Xiang.
Xu Xiang? It's really he.
Your lordship, no need to be anxious. If you follow my way,
not only will it help you surmount this calamity,
even the person blocking the road will lose his life and family,
lose all standing and reputation.
Your Highness!
- How is it? - Only a page boy remained at the medical bureau. All imperial physicians already left.
How can it be so coincidental? All imperial physicians are out doing examinations?
Such a big medical bureau, yet only one page boy remained?
That page boy said that these few days, the empress dowager has been feeling ill. The imperial physicians have been taking turns serving her.
Moreover, today, Imperial Consort Xiao and Noble Consort Chu both felt ill and invited imperial physicians.
And the third prince also has a fever that won't let up. Also Prime Minister Liang successively sent out notices.
All of imperial physicians with vacation time have asked for time off.
- But what about my imperial consort? - That page boy also said
when he ran errands at the medical bureau, he always heard the imperial physicians praise Baohe Hall's Physician Xu.
They said that this medical skills are outstanding, with miraculous hands.
Why not invite him here to help the imperial consort?
You're talking about Xu Xian?
- Your Highness? -Hurry and go! Go to Baohe Hall! Invite Physician Xu!
Yes!
Your Highness, please endure for a bit.
- Your Highness. - There clearly was supposed to be a half month more before the due date.
How did she suddenly want to give birth?
Will doing this really be able to deal with Xu Xian?
Please don't worry, Prime Minister, these people are all extremely wicked ruffians.
Using them as sacrifices will surely birth resentment. With this resentment as a lure,
extremely yin evil fiends will appear in the human world.
At that time, the fiends will enter Imperial Consort Mu's body.
Internal hemorrhaging will certainly result. One dead body will cost two lives.
Xu Xian helping Imperial Consort Mu give birth.
If Imperial Consort Mu dies tragically, then,
Prince Mu will certainly not let Xu Xian off.
Daoist, what a great scheme.
Dark clouds emerged on a clear day. What a strong baleful aura.
Physician Xu! Is physician Xu here?
- Physician Xu! - Thank you, physician Xu.
- Physician Xu. - What is it?
The imperial consort is giving birth! Please follow me to save a life.
Childbirth? I won't hide from you,
I'm a physician, but I've never helped anyone give birth before.
Brother, I think you should go find an experienced midwife. Will be more reliable.
Physician Xu. There's no more time. One of the imperial physicians recommended you.
Now that the consort's life is hanging by a thread,
Physician Xu, please don't refuse.
An imperial physician recommended me?
You're from prince Mu's mansion? Then your mistress is Imperial Consort Mu?
Exactly! The imperial consort vomited today.
The baby hasn't reached full term, yet already wanted to be born.
Physician Xu, please, you have to save a life!
Twin lotuses on one stalk...dragon and phoenix has taken form (twin boy and girl)
The imperial consort's wish has indeed come true.
Husband, now that Imperial Consort Mu is in labour,
Prince Mu certainly must've already invited good midwives.
She's having a dragon phoenix pregnancy. It's possible her body can't bear it.
Husband should make a trip to make a careful diagnosis, what do you think?
What you said is reasonable. Matters can't be delayed. I'll go immediately.
Xiao Qing, hurry an follow me into the inner courtyard to set up a spell altar.
What happened? Someone wants to harm Consort Mu.
Imperial Consort Mu? What does Imperial Consort Mu have to do with Master Xu?
I've lighted incense together with Consort Mu before and personally saw Guan Yin send a pair of infants into her belly.
Logically speaking, she pregnancy should've been peaceful and safe.
Yet now she's dangerously hanging by a thread. I suspect someone has done something.
Moreover, Husband has never helped anyone give birth.
Yet someone from Prince Mu's mansion said
that an imperial physician recommended Husband to help Imperial Consort Mu.
There must be a scheme in this.
You mean to say...
I've observed the skies. Dark clouds on a clear day...baleful aura fills the skies.
I suspect...someone is creating an area filled with baleful aura
to push away Imperial Consort Mu's karmic blessing, leading her to a difficult childbirth.
They're borrowing a knife to kill, wanting to harm Husband with this.
Preposterous! Who actually dared to use sorcery to harm people?
We can't leave it at that.
Since it's a spell, then I actually want to compete with him for a bit.
See who's more powerful. Let's go.
Imperial Consort, exert strength. Exert all your strength.
Please endure. Imperial Consort...Imperial Consort!
Push with everything you have. It's coming soon!
Imperial Consort, give it your all! Push hard!
Push hard! Please endure! Imperial Consort!
Please stay calm, Imperial Consort.
Nine Heavens Primary Response Formation?
Sister...are you trying to call the thunder god and goddess of lightning?
Thunder and lightning contains the most Yang energy in heaven and earth. Not only does it bring the rain.
It's even better at upholding righteousness and punishing evil. As long as the two gods take action,
the baleful aura will be dispersed and Imperial Consort Mu will be saved.
Imperial Consort, Imperial Consort!
Imperial Consort!
We're using this spell, but who knows who the thunder god and lightning goddess is going to strike?
If we brought a disaster, how will we withstand it?
Naturally, ordinary monsters won't be able to, but Xiao Qing, you can.
I'll borrow your half immortal blood to use.
Which immortal lord called us?
You evildoer actually dared to cast a spell and trick immortal lords?
Who has the time to trick you guys? In Lin'an City right now, someone is using sorcery without authorization.
Attempting to change fate in defiance of the natural order, harming a blessed person. Are you guys taking care of it or not?
There's actually such a thing? You guys stop wanting to trick me!
I'm going to use the Demon Illuminating Mirror to investigate.
May the heavenly lords send forth thunder and return peace and justice to the world.
Thunderbolt under a clear sky. Speak! What in the world is happening?
It the Thunder God and Goddess of Lightning. The evildoer invited the gods of heaven as support.
Prime Minister, we can no longer perform sorcery. We'll suffer a rebound.
Didn't you say previously that this was perfectly safe? What am I going to do now?
Even though we can no longer perform sorcery against Imperial Consort Mu,
I can use resentment to attract a fiend.
Before they died, those ruffians have all seen Xu Xian's portrait.
They'll follow him to his house.
- Is this the truth? - Absolutely.
Listen well.
At any cost,
I want Xu Xian's life.
Prime Minister, don't worry. I guarantee that the next strike will be successful.
Good Brother, how is it?
Congratulations, Your Highness, it's a dragon phoenix pregnancy. Mother and child are sound.
- Really?! - All thanks to Physician Xu
Her highness gave birth to the little prince then fainted.
If Physician Xu hadn't discovered that Her Highness was still carrying a princess,
then it would've been dangerous.
Midwife has worked hard this time. I'll reward you generously!
Thank you, Your Highness.
Good Brother, it's all thanks to you this time.
Not only have you saved the imperial consort, you've even brought me a pair of dragon and phoenix.
Your Highness, no need to be formal. As a physician, saving lives and healing wounds is my responsiblity.
What's more, when I was at the Imperial College in my younger days, Xu Xian was green and inexperienced.
I was fortunate to have your care.
In the recent past, you even saved my life. The one to say thanks should be me.
Saved your life?
What is Good Brother referring to?
Because of a case involving Lord Liang, I was framed and put in prison.
At that time, I wrote a letter to Your Highness.
Fortunately, you called for a retrial. That's how I was exonerated.
Good Brother. That wasn't done by me.
Moreover, someone used my name to rescue you.
As far as what really happened, to this day, I remain puzzled despite much thought.
Have you suffered in prison?
Look! You've lost weight.
So it's like that.
Perhaps, you've figured out what happened?
I didn't know in the past. I know now.
But no matter what, I still need to thank you.
Good Brother, you're treating me as an outsider, I should be the one thanking you.
- Let's go. Let's go for a drink. - Sure!
I even thought that my half immortal blood was of no use.
Never thought that it could help you cast spells.
This time, even if that toad spirit doesn't die, he should have lost half his life.
Let's see how he can still play his underhanded tricks against us.
Elder sister, what's the matter?
I keep feeling that this matter hasn't passed.
Baohe Hall.
- Greetings, Physician Bai. - Greetings!
Let's go.
Physician Bai, Physician Xu.
Physician Bai, Physician Xu
You came back?
Sister, Brother-in-Law
Sister, Brother-in-Law, you're...
Hanwen, I've prepared water for you. Immediately go home and take a bath.
Come, let's go! While it's still hot.
Let's go.
Sister-in-Law was so earnest all because of this.
Based on what the common people say, these pomelo leaves can drive out evil spirits and repel filth.
Come, wife.
Wife, tell me, cinnabar and sticky rice can all drive away evil spirits.
Why did Sister insist on choosing pomelo leaves?
Wife, every time you use your powers, it causes me to be enraptured.
Today, I also want to show off my meager skills.
perform magic for you, have you experience something fresh and new.
Why did you bring me here?
Wife, wasn't I going to show you my magic?
- What magic? - Mind reading.
Elder Sister had us use pomelo leaves to wash our hands.
What? She's not tricky and mischievous like you.
- Let's go back. - You even already said tricky and mischievous.
Have you already guessed?
Other people even said that Physician Xu is a gentleman.
But a gentleman on the roof (a burglar) is also a gentleman.
- Who...who's outside?
Hurry go!
Who?
Now that's strange.
I clearly heard people talking outside just now. Why is no one there when I came out.
I already told you. It's the sound of wind blowing through trees and leaves. Told you, you just didn't believe it.
Wind blowing through trees and leaves? Can my ears have heard wrong?
Go!
- Listen...what's this smell? - pomelo leaves.
You and I haven't been possessed. What pomelo leaves are you giving me?
These pomelo leaves, besides driving away evil spirits, is there no other use for it?
What use? Wrap rice dumplings?
You're such a block head.
Pomelo, what's its homophone?
You zi? (pomelo) You zi (pomelo). You zi? (baby son)
Baby son! Is that the idea?
- Not so loud. - Can't hear.
Give to me. Let me wipe some more. Tell me, tomorrow, I'll go to the government office
and bring the pomelo tree by the door home. I'll wash everyday just you see.
I'll wash ten times each day.
Twenty times. Sixty times I'm telling you. Give me a piece so I can wash.
Come come, I'll rinse you again.
Wife...how's my magic?
However, no matter how incredible your mind reading skill is, it still won't be as good as my child reading skill.
Child reading skill?
- Really? - Who's outside?!
Go!
Elder Sister really has one?
In one more month, you'll see whether my words will come true or not.
Wife, sit down.
When mother and father left, Sister was only a young girl.
In regards who wanted to marry her, she only had one condition.
That's to bring me into the family.
Because of me, don't know how many marriages she'd rejected.
Finally,
Brother-in-Law agreed to take me, so she nodded her head.
Fortunately, the two of them are a loving couple.
It's just a pity that the two of them had been married for so many years,
yet hasn't given birth to a son, or daughter.
If this time, Sister really becomes a mother,
father and mother will be happy in heaven for sure.
Wife, I wish that your prediction will come true.
Husband, that day we went to pray for a child at Baizi Hall (Hundred Children Hall), I personally saw
Imperial Consort Mu received a boy and girl, Elder Sister received a thousand golds (a daughter).
Really?
It's just that, Imperial Consort Mu has already given birth to a set of twins.
But Sister's daughter, don't know what's happening.
The imperial consort's son and daughter were sitting on one layer of lotus petals, which indicated they would be born within one year.
Your niece was sitting on two layers of lotus petals. Withing two years, the melon will definitely be ripe.
Calculating this, your sister's big happy day won't be far off.
Wife, you have supernatural powers, of course I believe you.
However, did you pray for anything
for the two of us?
Wife, when it comes to other people's business, you know everything.
Why is it that at crucial moments, you're so evasive?
If the two of us are fated to not have children, what should we do?
It'll be a bit regretful, but it's still within expectations.
Why's that?
The two of us are too loving.
The heavens will be jealous. Even if we'll never have children,
I'll still be at peace.
I'm a different life form, indebted to you for not being prejudiced.
Your heart may be comparable to Buddha and gods.
With a wife like this, what more can a husband ask for.
I can't be so shamelessly greedy.
Again!?
Your attitude makes me think of a little folk tune I heard a few days ago.
What tune?
Common wife, old wife, old me.
You, husband, old brother.
Since it's probably good this way.
Seems like, probably, it's about right.
Wife, you're complaining that I'm long-winded, right?
Those words of yours has been said this way and that eight hundred ways already.
Isn't it about the same as the little folk tune sung by old women missing teeth.
Fine. Even if I speak in a long-winded and wordy way,
I'm that old man missing teeth
then who's that old woman missing teeth?
- Tell me, who is it? - In any case, not me.
- Who? - Not me.
Come, Hanwen, eat some meat.
Sister, from now on, I plan on being vegetarian.
Meat and fish...I won't eat them anymore.
You're youthful and strong, a time to nourish your body.
Why not eat meat or fish?
Because humans want to eat meat.
Us demons want to eat humans.
What is it, Jiaorong? Did you have a nightmare again?
I saw that Sister-in-Law became a snake demon and ate all of us.
Jiaorong. You're just having a nightmare. Don't think random thoughts, alright?
Gongfu, don't you feel that it's strange? Ever since Hanwen nearly died last time,
why won't he eat meat or fish?
Didn't Hanwen already tell us that day?
He just recovered from a serious illness, so he needs to eat lighter foods.
Jiaorong, we really shouldn't dwell on it. We need to learn from the lesson last time.
If you let your imagination run wild, you'll disrupt the peace in our home again, right?
Fine fine. I know, I know. You're thinking on their behalf.
Today is my off day. Let's sleep a bit more, alright?
Tell me, after Suzhen and Hanwen have a child,
I'll help them take care of it everyday, wouldn't that keep wild thoughts away?
It'll be fine once you're busy.
Sleep sleep.
Sleep
Sleep.
Lin'an specialty. Heaven's Eye bamboo shoots.
Cool and refreshing against the heat. Helps to increase in appetite.
Wow shop owner, you even understand medicine.
You sell dried foods as medicinal ingredients.
This is because you don't know. Our Baohe Hall's Physician Xu
opened Xinglin Hall, teaching medical knowledge for free.
Prescriptions can also be found within dried foods. There's such a good thing?
Of course. Our Baohe Hall's Madam Bai
is a famous female physician, a remarkable woman.
I've also heard of this before. Lin'an's Physician Xu and Madam Bai
is a living Bodhisattva descending upon the world to save mankind.
That's of course. Brother, take some of our Lin'an specialty back home.
What Bodhisattva?
She's clearly a demon.
What are you saying? Such a proper girl, why are you insane?
I'm insane? You say I'm insane?
Are you all crazy? Believing in her lies.
Taking a demon for a Bodhisattva.
What're you doing? You dare to behave atrociously at the front door to our shop. Do you believe I'll take you to see the authorities?
Speak properly if there's something you want to say. Don't lower yourself to her level.
I'll pay for the medicinal ingredients she ruined.
- What do you think's going on? - What kind of person is that?
Elder Sister Xu.
Since you want to speak to me,
let's have a proper chat.
Sister, do you really believe what I said?
Ruyi, I've misunderstood you in the past.
You were right.
Suzhen, there must be something strange about her.
Ever since she entered our family, our family hasn't been peaceful.
She's really a snake spirit.
Look at Brother Hanwen, he's been bewitched to what extent?
Doesn't listen to what anybody else says.
What do you think we should do?
Ruyi, if Suzhen is really a snake spirit,
then we need to plan very carefully.
Eliminate her.
- We? - That's right.
You and I. You have to help me.
Sure!
Have that Bai Suzhen die a terrible death.
This anger poison seems to be a panacea.
It allows my strength to multiply. I'm so full.
Master Xu, master Xu.
Physician Xu, help me. My wife has an epileptic seizure.
Can you go to my house to save her?
Don't panic. I'm going now.
- Let's go. - Thank you, master Xu.
Physician Xu, this way, please.
It's strange. This old man is old and weak
but his steps are strong and healthy.
Old man, regarding your wife's epileptic seizure,
did she has a relapse in the past?
- Yes. - When she had a relapse, what were the symptoms? Was the prescription available?
Prescription? We threw it away.
How far is your home? This can't be delayed. Let's go by carriage.
It's not far. We will be there soon.
I seem to be short of a medicine in my medicine chest.
I'm going back to get it now. I will look for you later.
Wait.
Physician Xu, you are very smart
but it's useless. You must die today.
I don't have any grudges with you. Why do you want to kill me?
It's not strange. You have offended someone whom you shouldn't have.
Who sent you?
Could it be Liang Mohan again?
Leave your question for the King of Hell!
Release the arrows!
Take him alive!
Prince Mu, be careful. This man is strange. Swords and guns can't penetrate him.
- Ruyi, what are you doing? - I told you many times.
We are going against Bai Suzhen and not Older Brother Hanwen!
You are not allowed to touch him.
Ruyi, look at how Xu Xian treated you. Why do you want to protect him?
Even more so, we can't handle Bai Suzhen.
It's you who can't do that, not me.
Don't be reckless with Bai Suzhen. Wait for my instructions.
Ruyi, what's wrong with you?
You said that you love me. Don't refute me.
So how?
Ridiculous! You useless creature!
You couldn't even kill Xu Xian!
He even became a confidante of Prince Mu. If this continues,
From what I can see, it wrong be long before he can have an audience with the emperor and redress his injustice.
Lord, I tried my best.
It's just that, even in my dreams, I didn't expect Xu Xian to know how to break the spell.
Nonsense.
The rebel Xu Xian, how could he know how to use spells?
Don't want your life anymore? Using yourself as bait to lure the mastermind into making a move.
Wife, if we don't investigate the mastermind,
there will be more troubles again.
I thought Prince Mu and I could catch the killer alive and find out who the mastermind is behind this.
I didn't expect this accident could happen too.
But fortunately, Prince Mu's guards are very capable.
Look, I'm fine.
Consider that you are lucky.
Take a seat.
It's very lucky that you are able to come back.
In the past, I had my suspicions. I'm absolutely sure now.
The mastermind behind this is definitely Liang Mohan.
Liang Mohan? Why is he still not letting you off?
He has always thought that my father's collection of evidences for his corruption is still with me.
Hence, he wants to find the opportunities to get rid of me.
Prince Mu wants to clean up the Imperial court now.
He wants to remove the clique of traitors. The closer Prince Mu and I are there,
he will be less safe.
I thought this time we could follow the vine to the melon and catch his weakness.
What a pity.
If you can hand over your father's evidence to His Majesty,
would this bring down Liang Mohan?
Let's search for the evidence then.
But it was a long time ago. How will we find it?
- Others may not know but your father definitely would. - My father?
- Wife, are you saying... - I have Jing Song's magic weapon.
Color of rain...with fall comes the cold.
The harsh wind...pure, unyielding, and crisp.
Haughty and aloof..person in embroidered clothes.
Free and at ease...admiring greenery and clouds.
All of one's life...feeling much indebted.
Loyal and righteous..needing no award.
Calamity and grievances...are birthed together.
Time for the matter...to go towards the river.
Younger Brother, what a great talent.
It's rare to meet such a congenial person in the wilderness.
Younger Brother, should we sit together?
Deference is no substitute for obedience.
Please.
Sir.
Apologies.
I'm a convict. You must find me funny.
Please.
Even though there's no new Luyi wine,
nor red clay heating stove, But in this desolate countryside,
to be able to encounter a soul mate, we should drink wine and chat freely.
Waiter, bring a pot of wine.
Okay.
Please.
Dear customers, you look alike.
So to say...
Your feature is definitely similar to mine.
My surname is Xu, given name Huairen, courtesy name Deshao.
May I ask for your name?
My family name is Xu, Xu Hanwen.
It's really fate.
Not only are we from the same clan,
your name is the same as my son's.
We look alike. Perhaps,
It was a family five hundred years ago.
I think so too.
I've now been censured.
I wonder when I could see my family again.
If my son grows up,
and he can be so outstanding like you...
I don't have to worry then.
Your compassion and fatherly love,
your esteemed son will definitely be able to feel it.
He definitely won't disappoint you.
Toast to your precious words.
Sir, you are such a moral person.
Why have you been censured?
I can only blame the person I entrusted.
I fell into his scheme.
There's no one whom I could trust now.
Even though I want to punish evil and end fawning,
I can only...
Sir Xu, it's getting late. We need to be on our way.
What are you doing?
