"The Destiny of White Snake"

"Episode 58"

I'm losing my senses.

Could this be, death?

Xiao Bai.

Xiao Bai.

Xiao Qing.

Xiao Qing.

Xiao Bai,

we're sisters.

We agreed on discussing together.

You lied to me once again.

Xiao Qing.

What are you trying to do?

Xiao Qing,

you want to retrieve his fate,

even if you really can kill me,

you won't be able to retrieve it.

Why's that so?

Because the fate is in my spiritual marble.

Only if I give it voluntarily.

Otherwise, I'll self-destruct with the marble.

Well,

if I force the fate out of the marble,

I can no longer live for long.

If you're willing to sacrifice,

there is other solution.

We demons...

never break promises.

I've said that...

I wouldn't let any of you die.

Xiao Qing.

No!

-Xiao Qing! -No!

Don't do it, Xiao Qing!

If I force my spiritual marble out of my body,

and strip the fate from it..

If you fix my near-shattered spiritual marble with your own,

that might save my life.

No!

No!

No, Xiao Qing!

How does that sound?

A life for a life.

-Xiao Qing. -Xiao Bai.

I've returned your spiritual marble on behalf of Qi Xiao.

No!

No!

Hurry up!

Don't you hear me?

Force my spiritual marble out!

Give the prowess back to Xiao Qing!

Force it out!

Give the prowess back to Xiao Qing!

Xiao Bai,

the moment you met Fairy Xiao Xiang,

I have guessed it..

We are sisters.

You were always protecting me previously.

This time,

it's my turn to protect you.

They said that...

I will be the last demon that Qi Xiao subdues.

No!

No!

Xiao Qing, listen to me!

Xiao Qing.

Xiao Qing, listen to me.

Xiao Bai,

I'm not afraid to die.

If I die here today,

-No -It's...

as I wish.

Xiao Qing!

Xiao Qing!

Xiao Qing, don't do it!

Xiao Qing!

No.

Xiao Qing!

No!

Stop it!

Stop it!

Don't do it!

No!

No!

No!

Why?

Why?

Why you never listened to me?

When you do things as you wish,

why didn't you ask me?

Qi Xiao,

when you're back to the Empyrean Heaven,

tell White Emperor that he's wrong.

They are all wrong.

They said that I'm destined to be killed by you.

However, I killed myself.

They are wrong,

so do I.

Xiao Qing,

It's my fault.

If I was killed by you,

you'd be miserable.

Xiao Qing!

Xiao Qing.

Xiao Qing, where are you?

Xiao Qing!

Xiao Qing!

Xiao Qing!

My dear,

did you see it?

This is the fireworks that I promised you.

My eyes...

I can't see anything.

It's time for you to visit him.

Master,

I don't get it.

Even if it's Karma,

why would it be Xiao Qing?

All things are Dharma affinity.

Although Xiao Qing has died,

it is what she really wanted.

She got what she asked for.

But what should Xiao Bai do from now on.

And how would he be able to find peace.

You have to understand.

Within the three realms,

no one can really be free.

What else can I do now?

Peace, is to do nothing.

Fellow minions,

you all worked hard lately.

So,

-I'm going to treat you all! -Okay!

That's great!

Let's enjoy good food and drinks!

Mountain Queen, show mercy!

-Mountain Queen! -Who told you to burn the mountain?

You almost burnt the cave too!

Where shall we live then?

You have caused us to put out the fire all night.

I didn't mean it.

Look at you!

It's just the Garden of Heavenly Peach.

You're making such a fuss about it.

What a disgrace.

Yes, Mountain Queen is right.

Mountain Queen is right.

Listen, this is a sacred place of deity.

If any of you ashamed me,

I'll teach you a lesson when we get back.

We will behave.

Don't be noisy,

do you hear me?

You traitor!

Little did I know...

that you're such a vicious being.

You really are willing to be his lackey.

You even managed to see your friends dying before you.

How could you be unaffected?

Since you were able to kill them,

why don't you just kill me too?

Are you really going to kill me?

Mountain Queen.

Brother Xiao Hui,

isn't there any other ways?

He's right, Brother Xiao Hui.

Can't we do anything at all?

Even deities are unable to control life and death,

what else can we do?

Mountain Queen.

Mountain Queen used all her might...

to mould our bodies by using clay,

and placed us in the Garden of Heavenly Peach.

We all have survived because of that.

But now, the Mountain Queen.

Mountain Queen.

Perhaps we all can...

make a mould for Mountain Queen, right?

Don't forget that...

the moulds were made by Mister Xu.

They have the blessings of deity.

We shall ask Mister Xu for help then.

-He will save her for sure. -That's right!

Let's look for Mister Xu.

Xiao Lu is right.

If there's still a chance,

we shall try our best.

-Yes! -It's the Mountain Queen after all.

It's the Mountain Queen who has taken care of us all this while.

We can even break into the Peach Garden once more.

Be it the lightning strike or the eagle tormentor.

-Count me in! -Me too!

-Let's go! -All of us!

-Okay! -Good!

Mister Xu,

you are the kindest.

And you treat us good as well.

You're the only one who can do this.

-Yes. -Yes, Mister Xu!

-I beg you! -Save our Mountain Queen.

-Please! -If Lady Bai knows it,

she would have do the same.

That's right! Please!

Please save the Mountain Queen!

We beg you!

This is different from your case previously.

Her primordial spirit has vanished.

No matter how many moulds I make,

she won't come back.

Mister Xu!

Mister Xu!

We beg you, Mister Xu!

We will go to the Peach Garden!

We'll do it!

Don't be reckless.

We won't be reckless!

We won't cause you any troubles.

We will beg White Emperor at his temple.

-That's right! -Or Green Emperor.

If we are sincere,

somebody will show mercy.

-That's right. -Yes.

-That's right! -Mister Xu!

That's enough.

Don't ever mention this anymore.

And don't do anything stupid.

Xiao Qing will never be back again.

If you really miss her,

then you shall focus on your practise.

Don't put yourself at danger.

Mountain Queen.

Xiao Hui.

You are the strongest among all.

You're her trusted follower.

You'll have to take charge from now on.

Take good care of them.

When Xiao Qing was gone,

she left with a smile.

These might be the last thing she was worried about.

Okay!

I'll try my best to protect everyone!

Okay!

We'll practise hard too.

High deity,

thanks for saving my life.

Your magical prowess is so much higher than mine.

I'll be your follower from now on.

You're my family from now on.

Xiao Bai, are you still angry with me?

I don't have parents,

nor siblings.

I don't even have a friend.

I've practised in mortal world for 1000 years,

and I didn't get the legacy of any master.

Seeing the whole picture, I only have you as my family.

I swear.

Only if I'm dead.

If not, I'll follow you for the rest of my life.

I'll be your sister for a lifetime.

I need you to do me a favour.

Alright, I'll do it for sure.

Xu Xuan has forgotten me.

If anything happens to me this time...

and I couldn't make it back,

don't let him know of my existence.

No, you can't!

If you don't agree,

our sisterhood shall end now.

Xiao Bai, don't worry.

Even if he's forgotten you,

I won't let any woman gets near him.

Are you alright, Xiao Qing?

Bai Yao Yao,

you are a demon.

Have you ever thought for demons like us before?

All you said of was for humans and deities.

Have you ever thought of the demons' survival?

If you insist on being together with Xu Xuan,

our sisterhood shall end today.

Xiao Qing! Xiao Qing!

Are you alright?

Xiao Bai.

Xiao Bai, go now.

Don't get punished because of me.

We're sisters,

we agreed on discussing together.

You lied to me once again.

We demons...

never break promises.

I've said that...

I wouldn't let any of you die.

Xiao Qing,

No!

Don't do it, Xiao Qing!

Yao Yao.

Sister Crane.

Sister.

Sit down.

Are you feeling better today?

Lord Deity has used...

the elixir of ten thousand years to cure you.

Didn't that help?

The elixir of ten thousand years...

would be a waste of resource.

My spiritual marble is damaged to its core.

I'm lucky enough to be alive,

let alone regaining my eyesight.

I think you're the only person who can be this contended.

Xiao Qing sacrificed her life for me.

But I merely lost my eyesight.

Sister,

I've been thinking about this lately.

If I were Xiao Qing,

-Yao Yao! -I...

Let the passed rest in peace.

Moreover, she did it willingly.

Stop dwelling on it.

Only then, she'll be able to be at ease.

How could I possibly do that?

You know...

how strong our bond is.

What about Xu Xuan?

He's now outside of Penglai Mountain.

Do you want to see him?

On that day,

Xu Xuan gave me a firework show.

It was beautiful.

But I'll never be able to see it.

It's just like our relationship.

No matter how beautiful it is,

it doesn't belong to me anymore.

But you've tried for such a long time.

How could you end it just like that?

Sister,

the Heavenly Emperor is always fair.

If Xu Xuan has to cut off his love.

it'd be better to cut off of mine.

Only then, I'll be able to go to the dark place without any concern.

But...

Xiao Qing,

and the people of Lin'an City.

I've owed them too much.

Sister,

have you got me the Wind Up Herb I requested?

It's ready.

That'd be great.

All the more reason I can't see him.

If I see him,

I wouldn't be able to cut off my love.

Sister,

please send me the Wing Up Herb by tomorrow.

Listen.

The chirping of the bird is especially nice today.

It's as beautiful as the Peach Blossom Grove.

Let me think about him...

for one more day.

Cutting off from love?

It's been decided.

The Heavenly Emperor is indeed the lord of all beings.

Beside manipulating life and death of people,

he's even trying to manipulating...

our relationship now.

Alright.

He really has forced us into this situation.

Don't be reckless.

It's Yao Yao's own decision this time.

When did she make a decision?

What are you going to do, while acting like you don't care?

I'm going to see her.

What would it cause?

I'm going to ask her personally that...

if she doesn't want to cut off from love,

I'll be able to grant her wish.

She's willing to do it.

She said,

thank you for the firework.

She said all the people of Lin'an City...

praised that it was a grand show.

She said,

she can't see anything now.

Bad news!

Master Yong An!

Bad news, Master Yong An.

You're in a hurry,

what's the situation?

It's Leifeng Pagoda.

There's something unusual.

It's odd.

Have the people in pagoda been evacuated?

They've all escaped.

They're at outside now,

and want to hide here.

Master Yong An, this...

Mount Jin Temple...

is in the midst of reconstruction.

But this concerns people's life.

Jing Xin,

make arrangements properly with Cheng Qi.

Yes, Master Yong An.

-Cheng Qi, let's go! -Okay!

It's noisy out there,

what has happened?

There's a situation in Leifeng Pagoda.

I didn't expect that the evil spirit gets stronger after a disaster.

That's not something to be unexpected of.

A thousand years ago,

we sealed Black Water Dragon in West Lake.

We used its aura to suppress the demon barrier.

If we don't deal with this quick,

the mortal world might not be the only place in trouble.

Have you got any information?

We haven't found the leak.

But this evil spirit...

seems to be different from the past.

It might be the abomination of mortal world after the disaster.

Abomination.

The demon barrier is formless.

Now we have to deal with abomination.

What should we do?

I've ordered men to guard the area.

Not allowing any person to enter.

But we need to find a solution.

Avoidance is not the way out.

Pass my order,

Xiao Xiang will bring a troop...

to enter and investigate the pagoda.

You shall do your best...

to stop anymore disaster.

Your Majesty,

I'm willing to enter the pagoda.

You've just retrieved your fate.

Your foundation is unstable and your prowess isn't fully recovered.

I better let Xiao Xiang go.

Yes.

This evil spirit is abnormal.

It contains the hatred of water dragon who has been trapped in West Lake.

How can a mere mortal resist it?

I didn't expect the evil spirit to be this powerful.

If you're not a person with a strong mind,

you won't be able to escape the invasion of the evil spirit.

Those affected will be burnt to the bones.

And one day,

they will lose their mind,

and fall into the path of demon.

The evil spirit seems to be formless.

I wonder what lies within.

We can't prevent it, as it is formless.

The evil spirit is the collection of all evil energy in the world.

What we can see is ourselves...

and the evil thoughts deep within our hearts.

When the inner demon in us is triggered,

it will be irreversible and we will become demon eventually.

If there's one who can hold on to a righteous heart,

would one be able to overcome it?

As long as one is a mortal, there will always be evil thoughts.

Kindness is the way to break evil thoughts.

However, it's not easy.

Days over days.

Who on this world will be able to withstand it?

I can.

Goddess, kindly be understanding and report to the Heavenly Emperor.

Allowing me to guard the place.

If I can't hold on to my heart...

and become demon,

I hope you could eliminate me.

Xu Xuan,

are you doing this for your salvation?

For my wrongdoing,

I wouldn't be able to redeem it within the three realms.

It's just that I've practised for many years,

I don't want to hurt the innocent anymore.

If even Xiao Xiang...

was injured by this evil spirit,

then I shall be the one who guard this place.

You must be kidding me.

It will never be your turn.

The death of Water Dragon has broken the seal.

Furthermore, the flood has caused...

the people to lose their home,

and their family.

All these have caused this place to gather up a lot of abomination.

And it has formed a huge demon barrier.

I'm the most suitable one to be suppressed under the Leifeng Pagoda.

Xu Xuan.

You must never mention this in front of other people.

Everyone on the Empyrean Heaven is avoiding this issue.

They don't even dare to ask anything.

As for you,

trying your best to be the hero.

Actually,

the reason I requested this...

is to hope that it would somehow...

slow down the punishment to Yao Yao.

When I enter Leifeng Pagoda,

I hope you can send her...

to have the Wind Up Herb.

You've taught me before,

never forgets initial motive.

It's easy to talk about the initial motive.

But after being blinded,

only then I've really understood the true meaning.

This might be the only way...

for me to let go of my guilt,

and finally be at peace.

For us who are cultivating,

we value Karma the most.

I brought disaster to Lin'an City due to my selfish need.

That's the cause.

And I've accepted the effect it brought.

That's my choice.

I asked you here...

only to see you.

I didn't expect to have...

a discussion over truth with you.

It's good that way.

I'm relieved to see you like this.

For this matter.

Rest assured,

I will ask Heavenly Emperor for you.

Thank you, Queen Mother!

You've eaten a lot of my heavenly peach.

For that,

you must redeem this when you got out of the pagoda.

But of course.

It surprised me that within the three realms, you're still caring for me.

I'm not the only one who cares for you.

Who would have thought that the two of you...

still have to be apart after all you've been through.

The reason Xiao Xiang can't recover...

is not because of the method,

but it's due to her inner demon.

I've done everything I could...

and still couldn't remove her evil spirit.

The demon barrier this time is formidable.

If it gets out of control,

how can the mortals withstand it?

Your Majesty,

in my opinion,

we should observe the situation.

Even if we send some deities,

they will only end up being injured.

Enemies are hidden, while we're exposed.

We're really in a passive situation this time.

Your Majesty.

Lord Deity.

I have a report.

It's a message from Fairy Xiao Xiang.

She's known of the Leifeng Pagoda incident.

As for the decision high deities made,

she's made up her mind.

According to Fairy Xiao Xiang,

she's willing to guard underneath the pagoda for the people.

That's because she is a Qilin,

the origin of all beasts,

and the auspicious bloodline.

That's ridiculous.

Judging from her current condition,

how could she leave Mount Penglai?

If she loses the nourishing of Penglai,

it'd be extremely hard for her to even take a step.

You've oversimplified this issue.

The demon barrier...

will torture the primordial spirit days and nights.

Sooner or later,

mortals and deities alike will be forced to become demons.

If one doesn't have strong mentality,

it'd be impossible to endure it.

If she becomes a demon,

things might get worse.

Who would have such capability on the Empyrean Heaven?

I've deliberately spread some news,

only to hear about opinions of all deities.

But until now,

no one dares to voice out.

If it's in that case,

I shall be the one who goes.

Your Majesty, you can't do that.

How would the Empyrean Heaven be without you?

My body of Qilin...

will not last for long.

This might teach them...

the equality of all beings.

Your Majesty, this...

Your Majesty.

As the Demon Empress,

I shall bear the responsibility of all demons.

And this incident is caused by me.

If someone needs to go to the dark place,

you might send me to guard underneath the pagoda.

It's a good chance to cleanse the demon in me.

Yao Yao.

Didn't you hear the consequences of it?

It's dark in there, both days and nights.

That might be the only way...

to let me live in peace...

when I'm alive.

As I've got the Command of Nature,

and I'm called the Demon Empress within the three realms,

I shall bear this responsibility.

It's meant to be.

Your prowess was forcefully enhanced by the Command of Nature.

I'm afraid that you won't be able to withstand the bewilderment.

I have to try in order to know if I can withstand it.

Your Majesty,

the three realms are unstable now,

please take care of my people.

After I go,

I hope it would ease off the conflict between demons and deities.

I hope Your Majesty would grant me my wish.

I came to Empyrean Heaven right after I got the news.

Somehow I'm still too late.

Why would she accept that?

She said she did it for the demon clan,

as well as all beings.

The Heavenly Emperor has granted her wish.

After she left,

the deities of Empyrean Heaven...

will live peacefully with demons.

When does she depart?

If there's no accident,

tomorrow will be the day.

She will drink the Wind Up Herb tonight.

Alright.

Since she's still in there,

I'll wait for her over here.

Xu Xuan,

just go back.

She won't see you.

The flood of Mount Jin...

is not only Bai Yao Yao's fault.

I have to be responsible too.

I'm the most suitable person to...

guard the demon barrier in Leifeng Pagoda.

Crane,

I beg of you.

Help me this one time.

Bai Yao Yao,

are you sure you're ready?

I'm the only one who's been to Leifeng Pagoda.

The dark spirit is abnormal.

It almost tore my mind apart when it was surrounding me.

The pain reached me deep into the marrow.

And I almost became demon for that.

Are you worried about Xu Xuan?

I promise you,

that I'll stop him.

I won't let him enter Leifeng Pagoda.

Thank you, fairy.

I guessed you are the only one in Empyrean Heaven who'd intervene.

Who knew I'd guess it right.

"Leifeng Pagoda Construction Map"

They are all wrong this time.

Since you've made up your mind, I'm not going to stop you.

But I've heard that...

Xiao Xiang was requested by Xiao Bai...

to send Heavenly Soldiers and guard the pagoda...

to stop you from entering.

Are you going to fight Xiao Xiang too?

By then, I will send my wife into Leifeng Pagoda on my own.

Xiao Qing,

if you're still here,

you would've stopped me, wouldn't you?

If you're here.

you must have gone to tell my husband about it.

Isn't that right?

I've understood a truth now.

I didn't have the chance to tell you.

To cut off love and emotions,

it's simply just a decision.

Can you understand that?

This zither is what sister Crane brought to me from Mount Jiuxi.

It's been 1000 years.

Its timbre hasn't changed one bit.

I, on the other hand,

have changed a lot indeed.

Sister Crane,

you're here.

This zither was specially made for me by Zi Xuan 1000 years ago.

I'm playing it again today.

It's troubling my mind for no reason.

I've forgotten that you can't see anymore.

Sister Crane.

Until now, I can still remember the way Zi Xuan taught me how to play it.

During that time,

he held my hand...

and taught me the basic scale of Chinese ancient music.

Over and over again.

He didn't grow weary of it.

I can still remember...

the temperature of his palm.

It's like the hot spring of Mount Jiuxi,

chilly and gentle.
