Legend of White Snake

Episode 20

- Walk slowly. No need to rush. - Yes.

Come over here.

Looking at the way you're dressed, you should be from Qianyun Palace. How come I haven't seen you before?

I cultivated on Mount Kunlun and only recently became an immortal. I am new to this position and haven't met all of you.

So you're an immortal from Kunlun. My name is Yuluan.

I'm a cape jasmine from Baicao Garden. Xiying is Veronica linariifolia grass, how about you?

I...

Hedyotis diffusa is allegedly a gift from a snake spirit in the mountains.

I'm a Hedyotis diffusa, you can call me Xiao Bai.

Xiao Bai, Immortal Officials Palace is before us.

All of the treasures here are priceless. Be very careful, don't damage them no matter what.

Immortal friend, where have you been recently?

Wait!

Why is your celestial aura so chaotic?

Immortal official, please don't blame her. This sister has only recently ascended to Heaven from the mortal world.

I'm afraid the secular aura hasn't completely dissolved from her body.

So it's like that. Go in!

Qing Qiu presents one bottle of the Nine Changes Recovery Pill.

An Eight Treasures Violet Cloud Bottle.

Eastern Sea Dragon Palace presents one calyx basin made of Thousand Blossoms jade

and one set of Suiyun Immortal Medicine.

Kunlun's heavenly deities at Clear Jade Mansion present one stalk of Resurrection and Desire Removal Grass.

Present these treasures to the queen along with the other gifts.

Sure.

Liuchu, have arrangements been made for which immortal is to present the gifts?

All female officials from different halls are below. May the heavenly consort make the final decision.

These strange creatures are truly increasing day by day.

Xu Xian's body is coveted by spirits and demons.

They won't give up easily.

Stinky Monk, look quickly! Is the firelight much dimmer than before?

The way the lamp is dying...

If Bai Suzhen doesn't return quickly,

I'm afraid Xu Xian won't make it.

Immortals, please stop!

It's the deity lord, Erlang.

Oh no! It's the Howling Celestial Dog!

Audacious snake spirit, you actually dare to disguise yourself and enter the heavenly hall.

Deity Erlang, what are you doing?

Yangjian (T/N: Real name of Erlang), what has happened?

Why did you bring a snake to intrude upon the banquet?

This snake spirit is audacious to the extreme. She actually dared to transform into an immortal to steal a birthday present.

Now that both the evidence and culprit are here, will the two Highnesses please judge?

What? An evildoer is behaving atrociously in my nine heavens?

Guard!

May the Jade Emperor be placated.

Jasper Lake is an important place for immortals with layer upon layers of checkpoints.

This demon disregarded her life and came to steal a treasure,

there must be a story behind that.

It's not too late to punish her after asking about it clearly.

Where do you come from? Whose orders are you following?

Why intrude upon Jasper Lake to steal treasure?

May your Highness be placated. I am Bai Suzhen from Mount Emei.

I have no other choice but to steal the celestial grass.

My husband is on the verge of death. The celestial grass is able to bring him back to life.

I beg that the two Highnesses permit me to save him. I, Suzhen, am willing to bear any consequences alone.

A bunch of nonsense! How are you going to bear the consequences?

I must punish you today to warn others against following your bad example.

Deity Erlang,

today is the Heavenly Queen Mother's birthday.

The three realms are celebrating. Why must you

turn this banquet into an execution ground?

You'll ruin everyone's happy mood.

This snake spirit didn't actually create any big problems.

How about sparing her life

and have her return to the mortal world?

That's right. From what I can see, this child doesn't appear like an evildoer.

These words are incorrect.

Everyone, there's a difference between the three realms, while juniors and seniors are of different ranks.

Even a little snake spirit dares to be impetuous in the heavenly realm.

If word were to spread, wouldn't this be a joke for the whole world?

Heavenly Queen Mother, how do you think this matter should be handled?

White Snake, I understand the deep love between you and your husband.

You have the heart to give up everything in order to save your husband.

But... the world can be created and can turn to nothing,

while humans have birth, old age, sickness, and death;

It's proper for everything in this world to follow its course.

Order in the world can't be destroyed for your sake alone.

But seeing that there's no evil in your heart, your cause is for saving a person,

the death penalty can be waived.

Heavenly marshal!

Here!

Send this snake into the heavenly prison.

Your two Highnesses, I, Suzhen, willingly accept death

and only begs for a stalk of celestial grass to save my husband's life.

Time flows on and on, life and death are fated.

Why must you be stubbornly persistent?

White Snake, I hope you'll think it through in the heavenly prison, let go of stubbornness,

and quickly cultivate successfully.

Guard, take her away.

Presumptuous!

White Snake, I couldn't bear to harm your life. Why would you obstinately refuse to see sense?

Someone, tie her up and place her on the demon platform. Behead her immediately!

Two Highnesses, I, Suzhen, am not afraid of death. I'm willing to trade my dissipated soul for my husband's life.

I only beg for the celestial grass.

Sister, please hurry and drink some water.

In the last few days, I've asked about a good piece of land.

Not far from Uncle Xu's burial ground.

If Brother Hanwen can be laid to rest there, he should like it very much.

The most important is that the price is also good.

Ruyi, it's been hard on you.

Also, this Baohe Hall is Brother Hanwen's life's work.

I can't let it go out of business like this. Let's open it again starting from today.

I'll have workers from Jishi Hall come over to help out. What do you think...

Ruyi, you're so thoughtful.

I thank you on Hanwen's behalf.

It's just that the three days' deadline has passed. Sister Suzhen still hasn't returned.

I'm worried that she won't agree for us to lay Brother Hanwen to rest.

What right does she have to disagree? She won't allow Hanwen to be buried.

Now, not even a trace of her is to be seen.

She's just overly grieved and has no way of facing reality.

What overly grieved? Aren't Sister and Brother-in-Law grieved, too?

We are all grieved here. Why is she the only one not coming?

Sister, it's getting hotter day by day.

Is it possible that you don't want Brother Hanwen to be laid to rest?

My Lord, let us see each other in our next life.

Please stop the blade and spare the person.

Guan Yin, why are you intervening on behalf of this white snake?

You two deities bear Heaven's will, rewarding the virtuous and punishing the evil.

I really shouldn't say much.

It's just that this White Snake wholeheartedly longs for goodness; she has saved thousands of human lives.

Heaven treasures good hearts.

The white snake violated heavenly decrees, but her merits offset her faults.

Her crime is not worthy of death. May the two deities consider the fact that she just wants to save a life,

and spare her life.

So it's like that. Heaven's ways are merciful.

White Snake, considering how you cherish the common people,

saving lives and curing wounds,

this time, you're spared from death.

I beg Your Highness to bestow a celestial grass upon me to save my husband's life. I am unwilling to live on alone.

Your life has already been spared, and you still don't know how to behave.

Jade Emperor, please be placated. This Bai Suzhen and Xu Xian

had been predestined in their previous lives and are fated in this life.

Everything had been fated.

Bai Suzhen owes Xu Xian a debt of kindness.

Xu Xian hasn't exhausted his lifespan in this world. Today, at the Heavenly Queen Mother's banquet,

I don't know if the two deities can bestow on her the celestial grass to save two lives,

and have the demon realm and mortal world share in the blessings and happiness of this longevity birthday banquet.

Very good indeed.

Since Guan Yin pleads for leniency,

and also because of the white snake and Xu Xian's predestined fate,

why don't we help them out for once?

White Snake, take the celestial grass and immediately go save him.

However, you need to keep the heavenly laws in mind,

and not to act preposterously for the sake of your own desires again.

One day when you've cultivated successfully,

come to me again to ask for forgiveness.

Thank you, Heavenly Queen Mother, for your grace. Thank you, Guan Yin, for interceding on my behalf.

It's crucial for the departed to be laid to rest.

Ruyi is right. Let's first encoffin him,

then lay him to rest.

Jing Song.

I was able to wait for you in the end.

What's wrong with you?

Sending you to the past is a forbidden skill which defies Heaven.

For the sake of preserving the boundary for you to return,

I've exhausted all of my cultivation. Right now, I...

can't maintain the human form anymore.

No. You're the golden rat under Buddha. You're so formidable; you won't disappear.

Silly girl,

even Gautama Buddha had his moment of Nirvana.

How can I escape from birth and death?

Suzhen,

will you forgive me?

Don't say that. Please don't say that. Tell me how I can save you.

It turns out that everything has already been destined.

Jadestone is fragile.

It seems this silver hairpin fits better in your heart.

Take this jade hairpin as a gift from me for your turning human.

My lady is so good to me.

To me, you are more valuable than a thousand bars of gold.

Using my entire life of cultivation,

to exchange for one drop of your unbearable tear,

I'm content.

In the past, I'd always longed for you to cry for me.

But seeing your tears fall,

I'm unable to bear it.

Suzhen, promise me.

In the future, don't cry again.

From now on, you'll go through hardships alone.

No matter how bitter or how difficult,

you still need to be happy.

No, Jing Song. Jing Song!

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry.

Why hasn't Elder Sister returned?

Tell me. Sister shouldn't have encountered any mishaps, right?

Hey, stop there! Who let you guys come in?

Sister Bai isn't here, so Sister Xu should be in charge. What are you so fierce for?

It's already been three days. It can't be delayed any further. We need to immediately place Brother Hanwen in the earth to rest.

I don't care how many days you guys agreed on. I only know that before my sister returns, no one can take away her husband.

Xiao Qing, you protect your sister, but I also have to protect my younger brother.

Holding a corpse for days, not arranging his funeral, not burying him,

this wouldn't be acceptable in any family.

Carry him away.

Who dares!

Qing lass.

Go, go.

Xiao Qing,

Hanwen treated you two sisters really well when he was alive.

I beg of you, be magnanimous.

Allow Hanwen to go peacefully. Is that all right?

Stinky Monk, why don't you say something?

The Longevity Lamp hasn't extinguished. Xu Xian's soul hasn't completely dispersed. There's still a chance for Xu Xian to turn around, isn't that right?

Hurry and tell them!

Amitabha.

My Lord!

SIster-in-Law.

Sister, are you all right?

Xiao Qing, hurry and help me refine this celestial grass.

Sure! My sister needs to refine a medicinal pill, can't be disturbed. Please leave!

What celestial grass medicinal pill? Don't use these random things to defile Brother Hanwen.

Leave!

Qing lass! Ruyi. Jiaorong. Let's leave first.

Sister-in-Law, troubling you again.

Then may we trouble all of you.

Sister Xu, do you really believe that they can save Brother Hanwen?

If they delay further and miss the auspicious burial time,

we don't know how many hardships Brother Hanwen will endure in his next life.

Bai Suzhen is a miracle physician.

she must be able to save Hanwen. Right?

Elder Sister,

if it can't be done, don't force yourself.

Currently, your body no longer contains your spirit core and your spirit energy is nearly exhausted.

If you continue to use your powers, you'll definitely damage your vitality.

I can't give up at the last juncture.

Stinky Monk, what are you in a daze for? Think of a way quickly!

Bai Suzhen, have you really decided?

Decided what? Sister, is there something you're hiding from me?

Is there a problem with that celestial grass?

If the cultivators use the celestial plants on Mount Kunlun, it can advance their cultivation by hundreds of years.

Common mortals who eat them can rise from the dead,

but the price for rebirth is to forget past mortal affairs,

cutting off love, regret, affection, and hatred.

Therefore, this celestial plant is named Auspicious Cloud, and also named Desire Removal.

Have you really decided to have Xu Xian eat this Desire Removal grass?

Once he's eaten this,

you'll become his heart's demon.

If he ever misses and longs for you,

he'll be subjected to every possible torment.

The short bond between you and him can only dissolve quickly.

Elder Sister, are you insane? If he wakes up, he'll no longer remember you.

Then how can the two of you still be husband and wife? Then what's the meaning of saving him?

Xiao Qing, you don't understand.

I really don't understand. But if he doesn't love you anymore, then what's the difference whether he lives or dies?

As long as I can bring him back to life, whether he remembers me is of no importance.

When a bright moon hangs in the sky and new snow stops falling,

I'll know that his footprints are on the ground.

He is looking in the moon's shadow. That's enough.

Master, please help me refine the Desire Removal grass.

Maintaining virtue turns to auspiciousness, abandoning virtue turns to demons.

Why is Bai Suzhen giving up a thousand years of cultivation in exchange for just Xu Xian's life?

Is it possible that I've been wrong all along?

Elder Sister.

Green Snake, your sister's vitality has suffered damage. You have to help her go into closed-door cultivation for three days.

That way she can maintain the human form. Remember.

- Hanwen? Hanwen! - Brother-in-Law?

He's awake, really awake!

- Hanwen. - Brother Hanwen, slowly.

Slowly, slowly, slowly. That's great! He's fine now.

Why are all of you here?

Hanwen... I thought that you...

It's all right, My Lady. Don't cry.

This time Hanwen was able to be brought back to life all thanks to Suzhen, I'm telling you.

What's wrong?

You guys... who are you guys referring to?

Bai Suzhen. Brother Hanwen, you don't remember Sister Suzhen anymore?

- I don't remember. - This is bad, it's bad.

I hope his brain hasn't been damaged; otherwise, I've raised you for nothing. Hanwen. Hanwen?

Come, look at Brother-in-Law. Look at me. How many fingers are here?

Gongfu, Hanwen isn't an idiot.

Fine, fine.

Hanwen, Suzhen is your wife. Don't you remember?

She's been so tired these few days that I had her take a rest next door.

My wife? When did I get married?

Why don't I remember that I have a wife?

Suzhen is your wife. You really don't remember anymore?

I don't remember.

Then, do you remember what happened a few days ago? Brother Hanwen, do you still remember me?

You...

You're Ruyi.

What happened in the last few days? I can't recall.

If you can't recall, then don't. Don't exhaust yourself, hurry and rest.

Jiaorong! Jiaorong, this is weird.

Why is it that he can remember everything except for Sister-in-Law?

That's true. Suzhen and Xiao Qing are exhausted

and are also resting at home. Maybe in a few days, it'll be better.

However, without mentioning other things, Hanwen being able to wake up this time

is truly to Suzhen's credit.

Hanwen!

How in the world is Sister Suzhen not well?

- If she's not feeling well, she shouldn't be afraid and not get treated. - True, true.

There are skilled gynecologists in Lin'an City.

If she is exhausted, it can be treated. It's not like prescriptions or medicines aren't available.

Currently, if we even approach within three yards of that room, Miss Xiao Qing would make a fuss.

Oh that's right! How about we go see Sister Suzhen first,

and allow Brother Hanwen to rest properly?

Don't, don't, don't. I got into trouble a few times. Besides her sister, Xiao Qing doesn't care about anyone else.

How about waiting for a few days, allowing Hanwen to rest well, maybe their meeting will be a bit better then.

- Right, right, right. - Rest first.

- Lie down first. Come, come. Hanwen, lie down first. - Lie down first.

I've known you for a long time.

I've missed you for a long time.

- In this life... - My Lady.

My Lady.

My Lord, just now...

My Lady, you don't need to conceal it from me any longer, I know everything.

You already know everything?

That's why I came to say farewell to you.

You and I are different lifeforms, demon and human, destined to meet but not fated to be together.

But that's not what you said before. You told me that we'd be together forever.

My Lady is really naive. There's a limit to a human's life.

My forever is just one generation to you. It's impossible for us to be together forever.

My Lord, even if you've undergone a hundred reincarnations,

going up to Heaven or down to the underworld, I'd still find you.

You shouldn't continue to deceive yourself and others.

Once I drink the soup of forgetfulness and cross the bridge to reincarnation, I'll forget you.

I'll also live with someone else for many years in the next life.

Therefore... how about we part right now?

My Lord!

My Lady, take care.

No!

Elder Sister.

You're finally awake. I was so worried.

You've exhausted your vitality and became unconscious for three days. I was so afraid that something bad would happen to you.

Xiao Qing, it's been difficult for you these past few days.

That's right, Sister, Mister Xu has awakened. Are you not going to see him?

Because of the Desire Removal grass, previous ties have been severed.

Right now to him, I'm just a stranger; that's all.

Since even if we meet, we can't recognize one another, meeting will only be vexing and useless.

Elder Sister.

It's now deep into the night. I want to go outside and absorb the essence of the morning dew.

How about you stay here and rest?

Miss, be careful!

Are you all right?

I'm fine. Miss,

have we previously met before?

Subtitles brought to you by The Legend of White Snake Team @ Viki.com

You should rest early. I'll go back first.

Suzhen!

You still know who I am?

They told me that my wife was Bai Suzhen.

That's you, is that correct?

I... I beg of you...

Tell me. Did we get along well before?

I've gone through a major illness and can't remember anything anymore.

But whenever I think of you, my head will hurt;

a head-splitting headache.

If you've forgotten, then just forget it. Don't continue to think about those things.

There's no longer any relationship between you and me.

How can you say this? Since we're already husband and wife, then how can we act like strangers?

Since love is deep, how can it be so easily forgotten?

Our love fate has depleted. We don't owe anything to each other from now on.

Don't worry about this matter any further.

It will be dawn soon.

If you work too late, you won't be able to sleep. Rest early.

Miss!

[Fish Net]

You can't bear to let your glow-in-the-dark cup go?

No. I'm afraid it will injure your hand.

Blame me for being useless, for not being able to fight with Fa Hai,

and letting Bai Suzhen succeed.

You were just hoping for Brother Hanwen's death.

Isn't that so?

That Bai Suzhen.

Older Brother Hanwen already can't remember her and she's still trying to use spells to seduce him.

She's really shameless.

Didn't you say...

your previous life was the medicine boy beneath the throne of the Grand Supreme Elderly Lord?

Yes.

Is there a kind of elixir

which could make a person

weak and unable to get out of bed,

but it won't harm the body?

Are you saying...

Make Older Brother Hanwen gravely sick and you give me the antidote.

I can't allow that Bai Suzhen to get all the advantages.

Although she's saving Older Brother Hanwen,

I want Older Sister Xu to see that

I'm the only one who can truly treat Older Brother Hanwen.

They should be thanking me instead.

Ruyi.

Why did you wake up so early?

Older Sister, morning.

Older Brother Hanwen seemed to get sicker last night,

I looked for my father's collection of ginseng.

I used it to cook chicken soup to boost his health.

Thank you very much, Ruyi.

You are not part of the Xu family,

and you still treat Hanwen very well and take care of him day and night.

It has been tough for you.

Older Sister Suzhen is not around most of the day.

Whether Older Brother Hanwen is doing well or not, she doesn't even care.

I'm doing more to share your worries.

If she could have brought back the elixir two days earlier,

Older Brother Hanwen wouldn't be sick like this.

Older Sister wouldn't have been grieving for such a long time.

Suzhen has been abnormal for the past few days.

Hanwen is sick and she doesn't even take care of him.

I don't know what's going on either.

Why is there a scent of the Spirit Capturing Powder?

Older Brother Hanwen.

Ruyi!

What did you feed him?

Chicken soup cooked with ginseng.

Older Sister, if you don't mind, there's still some in the pot for you to drink.

Chicken soup? Why is there Spirit Capturing Powder in the chicken soup?

Spirit Capturing Powder?

I grew up in Jishi Hall.

I have never heard of this medicine.

Brother Hanwen started to get sicker last night.

I wonder if he met someone he shouldn't be seeing and was traumatized.

Older Brother Hanwen, what are you doing to him?

Let him go.

What's wrong?

Is Hanwen getting worse again?

Older Sister!

I... I was worried about Older Brother Hanwen. That's why I cooked soup for him.

Sister Bai kept insisting that there is something wrong with the soup and inflicting him.

Look! It wasn't easy for him to drink the soup. He has vomited it out.

Older Brother Hanwen is getting worse now.

If it wasn't because you put the Spirit Capturing Powder inside the soup,

why is he still in an unconscious state?

I...

Look.

I'm not unconscious.

I will do what you want me to do.

I only beg that

you let Older Brother Hanwen go.

Suzhen,

you haven't been feeling well lately.

Ruyi has been taking care of Hanwen day and night.

I can see what Ruyi has done.

Why would she possibly poison Hanwen?

Sister, it was I who was too rash.

You are right.

I definitely didn't do enough in the past few days.

It has been tough for Ruyi.

Ruyi, it has been tough for you.

Starting from today, I will take care of him.

Go back and rest.

She's driving me away. This...

Ruyi is an unmarried woman.

She is in a suspicious position, her reputation might get hurt.

No, Older Sister. I...

Older Sister, I'm a physician.

I can personally take care of him.

I have imposed on Ruyi for this period of time.

I shouldn't hold her up anymore.

If this is the case,

this is the best then.

Older Sister, I have been taking care of Older Brother Hanwen.

She's clearly the one who had to see Older Brother Hanwen last night,

and caused his illness to become worse.

When Older Brother Hanwen mentions her, his head will hurt.

How can you let her take care of Older Brother Hanwen?

Suzhen,

Hanwen's health just improved.

He can't suffer any more shocks.

Why don't we let Ruyi continue to take care of him?

My Lady.

My Lord.

My Lady.

- My Lord... - My Lady!

Hanwen! Hanwen!

We already said that Older Brother Hanwen can't suffer further shocks.

Please leave now.

Hanwen, what should we do now?

Sister, I have this vitality nourishing medicine from Jishi Hall.

I will let Older Brother Hanwen consume this now.

Hanwen, how do you feel?

Do you feel better?

Older Sister.

Ruyi, I... Where am I?

You are at home.

Your illness came back; we got really scared of it.

You are...?

- Hanwen. - Older Brother Hanwen.

Older Sister, what should we do?

Suzhen, please leave now.

Don't show yourself for the time being. All right?

I'm begging you.

Rest now.

Hanwen!

Older Sister, don't worry.

Older Brother Hanwen is fine now.

Younger Sister Ruyi, really thank you just now.

I'm grateful for you.

As long as Older Brother Hanwen is fine,

it's not a big deal even if I have suffered.
