The Legend of White Snake

Episode 12

Rotten monk!

If you don't release me,

I will let all these people die with me!

Curse of the Furious Snow?

Everyone, be careful. Don't be stained by the dirty snow.

Hide now! Hurry!

I will wait for you in the Netherworld!

Be careful. This is the Curse of the Furious Snow, which is formed by vengeance and desires to kill.

If touched, grass and plants will wilt,

and living bodies will turn insane.

We must stop this snow. Xiao Qing, help me.

Okay.

Are you changing your mind?

You have been deceived by them, too?

Don't forget.

They are demons like me.

It's just that I tempt only

the filthy hearts of men.

Their appetites are bigger than mine.

What they are bewitching is everyone's heart.

Break it!

Master!

You can't kill me.

I am you. You are me.

Your hate and fear of demons created me.

I will come again to find you.

There are more people being affected by the furious energy.

Even with all our spiritual energy, it can only last for a moment.

If this continues, these people will die.

We can't disperse it now.

I will pull this furious energy here. Xiao Qing, move aside.

Big Sister, are you crazy? It's too dangerous!

Big Sister, are you all right?

You both quickly leave. Leave this to me.

Dear Buddha in Heaven,

I'm willing to offer myself,

using my life as a sacrifice,

to help the people in Lin'an get through this hardship.

Amitabha.

Amitabha.

Bodhisattva has shown himself! Bodhisattva has shown himself!

Bodhisattva has shown himself!

Big Sister, we succeeded.

Suzhen.

Master! Master!

Master, please wait.

I'm here to thank you.

You eliminated that fox demon and saved the people of Lin'an from disaster.

Thank you very much, Master.

Amitabha. It's my duty to conquer demons and eliminate evils.

Master, I misunderstood you before. Please forgive me.

Demons can change a lot. You were tricked by them. You just didn't know.

By the way, Master, I have something to ask you.

When you gave me the Demon Slaying Sword that day, you said,

whenever encountering demons and evil spirits,

it will shine. Is this really so?

Correct.

Master, would it shine without encountering any demons during normal circumstances? Could it have malfunctioned?

Malfunctioned?

It is a treasure from Jinshan Temple. It can sense demonic aura. How can it malfunction?

Master, I'm just randomly asking. It's nothing.

Master, have a safe journey.

Big Sister, that stinky mouse is so annoying. He keeps following us.

Just like our shadow.

[Bai Manor]

- Suzhen, I have something to say to you. - I have nothing to say to you.

You rotten rat! You ganged up with that fox demon to harm Older Sister. You even have the courage to come here?

Don't talk nonsense. How could I harm Suzhen?

Suzhen, if I had the intention to harm you, may lightning strike me and I never recover.

Stinky mouse! You have the guts to do it, but no guts to own up to it. Look at me...

Suzhen, you would actually hit me hard.

I told you that I wish to never see you for thousands of years.

I gave the Demon Shackle to that fox demon,

but it wasn't to go against you.

Who gives you the right to go against Xu Xian then?

I...

I can apologize to Xu Xian,

but...

Suzhen... Suzhen, I only did this so we could go back to how we used to be.

You have toured the mortal world for only a hundred years,

but I can't even take it for a hundred days.

Given our past relationship, I will forgive your misdeeds in aiding evil.

Starting from today, we will sever all ties.

Sever all ties? Bai Shuzhen,

do you really think humans and demons can bear fruit?

Don't be naive. Even if I didn't obstruct you,

Xu Xian still wouldn't live for more than a few days.

Even so, that has nothing to do with you.

If you have any conscience, don't show up in front of me again.

Suzhen, what can I do to make you forgive me?

Demons and I are like water and fire.

When you were ganging up with that fox demon to commit evil deeds, why didn't you think about the consequences?

Thank you for your Demon Shackle. It let me know that I've opened my heart to the wrong friend.

Let go of my hand. Xiao Qing, let's go.

Have you played enough?

Who let you pester my older sister? Don't disturb her again in the future.

My older sister only needs me by her side and that's enough!

Older Sister, wait for me!

Bodhisattva has shown himself?

It's said that this Nine-Tailed Fox was extremely evil and committed many crimes.

The Prime Minister's son was also killed by her.

That fox demon even spread cursed snow.

If it weren't for the monk from Jinshan Temple with his advanced skills,

Lin'an city would have been in trouble.

A fox demon committed a crime and was brought to justice by a high monk.

Execute demons in the market; break the halberd in the hall.

I didn't imagine that so many incidents occurred after I had left Lin'an for those years.

Oh right. I heard that this case was able to be solved, due largely by me.

I'm unable to explain it, too.

In Lin'an, there was even someone who looked like you in appearance and manner.

That person even escaped Prime Minister Liang's eyes.

The kingdom has extraordinary things.

To add further, that person didn't harbor any evil intentions against me.

If it weren't for him causing confusion in Lin'an city,

things wouldn't have gone so smoothly.

Now that we have severely disabled Liang's gang,

in the future, life will go more smoothly.

You are right.

Fortunately, God has eyes

and there is payment and retribution for kindness and evil.

Older Brother Hanwen.

Why did you get up? Sit down, quickly.

- I will do it. - Let me do it.

This is the monk fruit tea I brewed for you. You have been coughing. Have a sip.

Have you been reading medical books?

My father wanted me to read more medical books so that I can succeed Jishi Hall later.

I was too stubborn and I thought it was still too long a way to go.

I won't do this again. Let me learn medicine from you.

Master taught me his medical skills.

If you want to learn, I will, of course, share all the knowledge.

Let's start learning now.

Tell me which book to start from. I will get it now.

Ruyi, this can't be rushed.

I'm really clueless.

I have given you a hard time.

You needed to make arrangements for my father's funeral,

to manage Jishi Hall, and take care of me, too.

- Older Sister. - Ruyi.

- Let me do it. - No, you can't do this work.

I can do it. I can.

By the way, I'm cooking some soup in the kitchen.

I'm going to get it now. Brother Hanwen, wait for me.

Do you feel better?

I'm much better. I'm fine.

Older Sister, has Ruyi been like this lately?

It's like this every day. She will fight for work and do anything.

From morning till night, she won't stop. She's even fighting with me to do the laundry.

Her hands are red now.

If you tell her to stop,

she would look at you with teary eyes. My heart breaks when I see that.

Ruyi is a bit abnormal. Something so major happened at her home.

It's not visible on her face but it's definitely tough for her to accept it.

I'm worried that she won't be able to recover from her trauma.

Hanwen, you should please her more, okay?

Older Sister, don't worry.

I will please her.

It's just that, Ruyi is a girl.

I hope that you can guide her further.

Older Brother Hanwen, I made this steamed fritillary bulb and pear for you.

Ruyi, let me get it.

Ruyi, have some with Older Sister, too.

No, I specially cooked this for you.

I asked many people in order to buy these Star and Moon fritillary bulbs from western Sichuan.

Come, have another sip.

Thank you, Ruyi. You have worked hard.

We are family. Is there a need to regard me as an outsider?

Come, sit.

Because we are family, that's why you are not regarded as an outsider.

Let me tell you. You don't need to do anything to please anyone.

All along, I have always regarded you as my dearest...

Hanwen!

Older Brother Hanwen!

Hanwen!

Older Brother Hanwen, you must not die.

I'm fine. Don't worry.

My father is dead. Yinxiang is dead.

If I had really caused you to die, I don't want to live anymore!

Ruyi, don't worry.

I'm really fine.

When I was in prison and being tortured,

I hurt my lungs so it's like this.

Why didn't you say so earlier?

I didn't want to worry you.

Why did you suffer so much?

Ruyi, come here.

Stop crying.

Do you still remember the time when we practiced medicine at the pavilion on Yu Street?

This patient has phlegm in his throat. He fears the cold and does not sweat.

It's clearly a cough due to cold.

I'm in the same condition as him.

I injured my rib cage. That's why I'm coughing.

Thus, this is a cough from injury. You should treat your lung first before treating the cough.

That's right. Our Ruyi is so smart. You picked it up very fast.

Older Brother Hanwen, you must recover soon.

Don't worry. I will recover soon.

What's going on?

These are not symptoms of a cough from injury.

The pulse is powerless, light but fast.

Like boiling water, with no rhythm at all.

This is bad. These are the symptoms of being poisoned.

Could it be that I fell into the Prime Minister's trap at the prison?

He was fine before.

But I don't know why,

between 9:00 to 11:00 p.m., he suddenly fell unconscious.

This is strange. Hanwen has been poisoned by demon's poison.

Or did I harm him?

Since it's my demon's poison, why can't I eliminate it?

Miss Bai, what illness did Hanwen contract?

I have never seen this kind of situation either.

What should we do?

Hanwen.

Older Sister Xu, Hanwen is awake.

Suzhen.

Don't move. Lie down.

Be careful that you don't catch a cold.

I remember now. There are still some medicines in the kitchen.

I'm going to get them.

Suzhen, I am so disheveled.

I don't want to dirty your hands.

Would I still complain about that?

What's wrong? We have experienced so much together.

Just because of some illness, you are going to push me away?

The person I fell in love with, he shouldn't be that weak.

Suzhen, this is not what I meant.

Suzhen, I'm not an ordinary patient.

Furthermore, I have been poisoned.

You already made the diagnosis?

I only know that I have been poisoned,

but I have never heard of this kind of poison.

I don't know what kind of poison this is, either. I can't think of an antidote.

Suzhen, I don't want to drag you down with me any further.

What do you mean?

When you saved me at the magistrate's court, did you feel that I was a drag?

It's only just being poisoned.

Did you forget that I eliminated the poison for Madam Yu?

I can do the same for your poison, too.

If you could do it, why would you wait till now?

Suzhen, in this world, there will always be something

that physicians can't cure.

In the past, I used to advise you.

I said that when you encounter any incurable illness, don't tell the patient the truth.

Console him till his last moments.

You laughed at me for deceiving everyone and I even said that you were wrong.

Looking at it now, you were totally right.

Knowing that my final days are near,

I'm able to say my farewell to my beloved one.

Stop spouting nonsense.

We are doing fine together. Why must we say goodbye?

Hanwen, promise me. No matter what happens to us, let's not separate.

Suzhen, of course, I want for us to stay together forever.

But fate works against us.

Why not shorten the pain?

Don't think any further. Just wait.

I will definitely think of a way to save you.

Miss Bai.

Suzhen is a good woman.

A pity,

I don't have the blessings to be with her.

What are you doing?

None of your business.

Why have you suddenly returned to Emei? What has happened?

You're using your spirit essence to ripen the Lingzhi mushroom. Xu Xian must be sick.

Does he need the thousand-year-old mushroom to keep his life?

Mind your own business.

If I don't get involved, do you want me to see you do something foolish then?

Your cultivation is only a thousand years, how many Lingzhi mushrooms can you ripen?

I've told you already. That a mortal's life is too fragile;

he will die sooner or later. What's the point of this suffering?

In any case, I must save him.

You are not going anywhere. Just stay here.

Absorb the spirit essence from the earth to recover your strength.

Where is Xu Xian? I will make the decision on your behalf.

Jing Song, what are you doing?

Jing Song!

Jing Song, release me now!

Here. Have some water.

- Thank you, Older Sister. - Do you feel better?

I'm much better. Older Sister, don't worry.

Don't keep reading your books. You must watch your health. Understand?

By the way, Mister Jing's here to see you.

Mister Jing?

Suzhen's cousin.

- Hanwen, don't get up. - I'm fine.

Help me get up to receive the guest.

If you can't get up, just lie down. Why make it hard for yourself?

Older Sister, this tea has gotten cold.

Please brew another new pot of tea for Mister Jing.

Okay.

You really are beyond cure. You can't even get up from the bed.

Is there a need to play tough?

One must know his limitations.

Stop yearning for things which do not belong to you.

Same advice to you.

I'm not here to visit a patient. I'm here to tell you

that Suzhen and I are going back to Shu.

It's a hassle to keep this.

I might as well return it to you.

You said that Suzhen is leaving?

We actually planned to leave quite some time ago.

It's you who kept pestering us and delayed our schedule.

Xu Xian, think carefully.

Ever since Suzhen met you, she hasn't had any peaceful days.

Now you are half dead.

Do you want Suzhen to take care of your illnesses continuously in the future?

I have never thought of doing this to Suzhen.

Suzhen is kind. You won't live for long.

Naturally, she wouldn't abandon you and not take care of you.

Who gives you the right for her to be worried about you?

Looking at your condition now, will you still be able to give her happiness?

You are only just dragging her down with you.

Xu Xian, if you still have any conscience, just let her go.

I have said what I needed to say.

Take care and recuperate.

By the way, this Lingzhi mushroom is for you.

It will buy you a few more days to live.

Consider this as Suzhen and I repaying your kindness.

The umbrella fell apart, too.

Suzhen, sorry.

[Examination and Diagnosis]

What are you doing?

Miss.

Stop blocking me.

Miss, you may not remember. It was you who knocked into me just now.

So what?

You are a man and you are so narrow-minded.

What did you say?

Narrow-minded.

No, before this.

Ridiculous.

A man, right?

You just called me a man.

You are really annoying. What are you trying to do?

You asked me what I'm doing? I'm a physician.

I have a miracle medicine. It is guaranteed to treat all illnesses,

bring good luck, and ward off calamities.

Miss, what I'm selling, it's a miracle medicine.

Can your medicine really cure all illnesses?

If you don't believe me, you can take this and try. I won't charge you.

Older Brother Hanwen, do you feel better?

I encountered a miracle physician on the way here.

He said that his medicine can cure any illness.

Take it and see if this medicine is usable.

I don't even know what medicine this is.

Ruyi, don't believe those traveling physicians on the streets.

Aren't you supposed to be at Jishi Hall?

If I don't go there, it's okay, too.

Your health is bad now. I should take care of you every day.

Riyi, Jishi Hall is the family business that Master left to you.

You should be paying more attention to it.

Since it's left to me, I can do whatever I like with it.

Let's close for business today.

Once you have recovered, let's open for business again.

Ruyi, you are no longer a kid.

You must not be so willful.

Jishi Hall was Master's hard work.

You must expand it.

I know that my father worked very hard for it,

but he's no longer around. Yinxiang is also not here, either.

If you are not around, too, what's the use of having that medical hall?

I'm not going anywhere. I'm staying here to take care of you.

I don't want to separate from my family again.

Stop crying.

Older Brother Hanwen, I'm begging you.

Don't ever die.

Ruyi, one will die sooner or later.

Even if one day I'm no longer around,

you will still meet someone who will take care of you.

I don't want anyone. I only want you.

Ruyi,

even if I can survive and take care of you,

it's also as an older brother taking care of his younger sister.

You...

What do you mean?

If you don't marry me, who will you marry then?

Bai Suzhen?

If I can survive,

I will marry Suzhen.

It's a pity that...

You clearly know my sincere feelings for you,

and you just casually step on them.

Where am I lacking when compared to Bai Suzhen?

I will always take care of you

till you meet the one in your life.

I have already met him. I met him a long time ago.

When you came to the medical hall to study medicine,

I hid behind the curtain to watch my father give you an exam.

When you answered correctly, I thought,

"What a beautiful and smart older brother."

"I must marry him in the future."

I didn't make a mistake about you. I have always liked you.

I treated you so fiercely and you still pampered me.

Hence, you like me, too. Right?

Ruyi, between us,

it's not that kind of love between a man and a woman.

I don't believe it! I really don't!

We were childhood sweethearts.

Who gives you the right to say there's no love between us as a man and woman?

No one loves you more than I do in this world.

If you are not with me,

I won't live anymore.

I will do what I said!

Ruyi!

[Always honest and upright]

♫ Hai ah... ♫

♫ What a beautiful scenery the West Lake is ♫

Hanwen!

Why doesn't it still work?

What can I do to keep you alive?

I'm begging Bodhisattva for help.

What is your request?

Because of my negligence, Xu Hanwen of Qiantang County got poisoned.

I don't know why I can't eliminate his poison.

I'm begging you to save his life.

I'm willing to pay at all costs.

So, it's Xu Xian. The both of you are bonded in this world.

White Snake, whoever started the trouble should end it.

The one who can save him is you and not me.

I don't understand. Please guide me.

What Xu Xian contracted is not an ordinary demon's poison. It's a love poison instead.

Mortals and demons are different. You two are deeply in love and have been close.

It accumulates over time.

The poison has entered into his bone marrow and blood vessels.

When it erupts now, it's already incurable.

But if you can sever the love connection,

the poison will vanish on its own.

Guan Yin,

love is from the heart, how can it be severed at any moment?

Is there no other solution?

Mortals and demons are different, so Heaven doesn't allow them to be together.

The deeper the love, the more toxic it is.

Unless you can hide from the will of Heaven.

Please guide me.

You have a thousand years of cultivation and a powerful spirit core.

If you give your thousand-year-old spirit core to Xu Xian,

your spiritual force in your spiritual core can suppress the poison in him.

Will you do it?

I'm willing to try anything that might work.

Do you know what will happen to you if you lose this spiritual core?

I don't.

Your vital spirit will be harmed, and you will lose a great deal of power.

I'm not afraid.

Not only this, but you also won't be able to transcend and cultivate.

The path to becoming a fairy spirit will become impossible.

You will experience a trial every hundred days.

Every hundred days, you will have a day when you feel like you would rather die.

On that day, if there isn't anyone to guard you, it will be extremely dangerous.

I understand.

Even if there are unlimited sufferings in this world,

I'm willing to give up everything in exchange for some sweetness.

Bodhisattva, I have decided.

Please help.

Foolish child.

Be done with it then. You and Xu Xian still have an incomplete love destiny.

This is also fate.

Thank you, Bodhisattva.

The water on the willow branch can help you.

White Snake, go now.

Hanwen, I came too late. I made you suffer.

From the first day I met you,

I wanted to be a mortal.

A simple meal of one vegetable dish with rice. Picking the crops by myself.

A needle and a thread, personally tailoring the clothes.

I wanted to set up a medical hall and pick herbs with you in the mountain,

diagnose illnesses,

taste a hundred herbs together, write a medical journal.

We'll live this kind of simple and easy life for dozens of years.

You always say that life is short.

Dozens of years are not very long even for mortals.

To demons, it's even like water drops and lightning.

I'm willing to give up my life of cultivation

to enjoy with you that one moment of splendor.
