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 if 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.

Please help my little brother, Immortal Lu.

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 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. Have any strange events happened in your family recently?

What kind of strange events happened in my 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 market.

Moreover, I bought it on clearance. Only cost me five coins.

No wonder he looks so odd.

But what are they saying by dressing 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 a 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 instruments to subdue it.

We need to request the Command of the Celestial Master.

Command of the Celestial Master?

This command badge can bring down the heavenly troops and generals upon the world to slay demons and eliminate evil spirits.

Thank you, Daoist Priest. Thank you, Daoist Priest.

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?

Stomachache.

Zhang Yutang! Did you put poison in the honey-shaved ice?

I didn't!

You ate so much that it would give you a stomachache for sure.

Zhang Yutang, you tricked me!

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, Master Pure-Yang.

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, Immortal Lu is handsome and charming.

His appearance is nothing like this.

Then, is it really true that he is related to your younger sister?

What younger sister?

Lu Dongbin flirts with White Peony Fairy three times.

Where did you hear about such amorous affairs? Did you learn something bad?

I didn't learn anything bad. 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 early to eat.

That's right! Then, let's return right away.

[Yichun Hall]

Hurry! Kick him out for me!

You guys... how can you see someone dying but refuse to help?

Go!

- Elder. - Elder.

Are you all right?

My Lord, 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 make my place dirty,

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 said that competitors in the same field are enemies, but your intentions are simply too sinister.

This old beggar actually contracted an incurable disease. Your Baohe Hall doesn't treat him,

why would you force him on my Yichun Hall?

Preposterous!

My Lady. Let's bring the elder back to Baohe Hall.

Elder. Come.

Come. No need to rush.

Elder, your pulse is really strange.

Do you always have palpitations and shortness of breath?

My pulse sometimes jumps and sometimes doesn't.

My breath... sometimes goes on and sometimes doesn't.

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, storax,

ox 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. Rather than giving 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.

Die early, reincarnate early.

Elder, don't worry. My husband is an intelligent person.

He'll be able to find some cheap medicines quickly to cure you.

Please believe me.

If you can't find 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.

My Lady, you've suffered.

What is there to suffer?

The old man is near death but was rejected by Yichun 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 Lady,

people are afraid of demons.

But in my eyes, a demon like you

is the most compassionate and kindest.

In this world, only you know what I am but do 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 python spirit in their house is Bai Suzhen?

If I tell her directly, she probably wouldn'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 badge is any good, why did you just bring it out today?

That badge is real.

It came from the Realm of the Exalted Old Lord.

Haven't I told you many times?

In my previous life, I was the pill guarding boy of the Exalted Old Lord.

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 let your guard down even a little bit.

Yes, Master.

Peach Blossom Valley's Immortal Lingrui greets Exalted Old Lord.

[Command of the Celestial Master]

Ruyi, I was an immortal.

I became a demon based on one wrong decision.

But I never would have imagined that

you would leave the Peach Blossom Spring

and follow me to the mortal realm.

Don't give credit to yourself.

Since you keep promising that this Command of the Celestial Master can subdue Bai Suzhen,

then I'll wait to see what kind of ending she'll have.

[Command of the Celestial Master]

Dispersing soup? The licorice is double the original prescription,

less fifteen grams of rhizoma cyperi.

This will make the medicine milder, and also the bitterness can be reduced.

It is tested and workable.

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 codonopsis pilosula,

then it will taste better.

Licorice?

Licorice prevents spasms and date seeds can help improve the condition of the heart.

Codonopsis pilosula can replenish the body's vital energy.

Old Mister casually said something and has complemented the function of the heart-nurturing broth.

This little wife is smart with a good head.

But don't you smell it?

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, okay?

After I take it, I'll take a bath.

Remember to add artemisia argyi, tea leaves,

as well as ligustrum leaves and honeylocust, understand?

Yes, thank you for the reminder, Sir.

This tastes terrible. So bitter.

I know you don't like the bitterness, so I've prepared some desserts.

What are they?

Dried apricots can relieve your pain and remedy your asthma; Astragalus pudding can replenish your energy and blood.

They are 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.

My Lord, you've reminded me of a scene in a drama.

In traditional operas, if a wife were to give birth to a son inside the household,

the husband would be like you, being so nervous outside the door.

I think so, too.

You couple are making fun of me.

I don't feel happy about it.

So, I couldn't give birth to a son 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 ancestors is a waste if I keep it with me.

I'll give it to you as a memento.

No. Since it's from your ancestors, how can I take your treasure 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 a 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. - My Lord.

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 here to kill me?

Watch out!

Why is it thundering all of a sudden?

My Lady, 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 lightning and thunder?

Who can you scare?

This is a land of trouble. Best not to stay on.

Farewell.

Dongbin trained for eight hundred years to become an immortal, but he has never once taken a person's life.

The Jade Emperor's tally has not yet arrived. Who was rushing for force?

Xiao Qing, are you all right?

You're not hurt, are you?

Xiao Qing, why are you crying?

Are you all right?

Who said I cried?

You'd better forget all that happened just now, or I'll be mean to you.

All right, all right.

I dirtied your handkerchief. I'll wash it clean for you.

Jiaorong. Jiaorong!

Jiarong!

Jiarong! My Lady!

Are you all right? 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 Lady?

Why did you get so sleepy?

Master, even though we only met for one day,

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 sincerely thanks, Master.

Thank you, Master, for your kindness.

I will wholeheartedly continue to help people to repay your kindness.

Stone Case Collection of Pure Yang!

Master gave me a book of wisdom.

Skin Regenerating Powder?

When Master had an ulcer, did he use this for treatment?

Thank you, Master, for granting us a miracle medicine and medical book.

What a day for your older sister.

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 they threw it into the West Lake. - It's okay.

We were still inside the house.

It's just a nightmare. Don't think about it.

Immoral Lu, where did he come from?

But this Immortal Lu was really strange.

Why was he contradicting himself?

He first said there was a demon in our house.

That's why we had many troubles.

Now he says if I believe in rumors, there'll be more problems.

Isn't that 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 rumors.

That's right, Jiarong. Don't be afraid.

But I'm telling you, don't be like this anymore.

Is that Immortal Lu helping people or conning 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.

What if Ruyi gets 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. - Be careful.

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 kill 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 would turn to her.

But someone would actually defend her.

No more of 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 mind it.

My Lady, I'll have to say something.

Ever since Sister-in-Law has come to our family,

she and Hanwen both love each other.

All the neighbors like her.

But you, instead of believing our own family,

you believe someone else and cause trouble to our household. Right?

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-shaved 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-shaved ice.

But Sister, that honey-shaved ice was really delicious.

I just ate a little too much.

Sister, if I really can't be cured,

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 and eat less spicy food. It won't be that bad.

No one ever explained to me that it's so troublesome to be a woman.

I thought being a woman was easy as long as I'm prettier than a man.

When I run into trouble, just be sweet and play weak and

men will soften up.

I never dreamed

I was sorely cheated.

Unmarried women can be dainty and beautiful.

But once they become wives and mothers, and need to take care of husbands and children,

they will have other responsibilities.

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 are ying and yang in the world, and there are male and female for humans.

Although there are many discomforts to being a woman,

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 continuously.

Take care of her continuously?

Brother Zhang, when did you start paying so much attention to Xiao Qing?

She got sick this time because of me.

I will take responsibility.

No matter how expensive the medicine is, 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 food. 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.

Let me tell you. This one is good. His ancestor was in the military,

and see how much he looks like me when I was young.

How does he look 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. He is from Lin'an.

- This one is good, too. - I don't know if Xiao Qing will like him.

Xiao Qing has high standards. This...

This one, too, has studied martial arts since childhood.

He has joined the Conghou army,

with the Major rank.

- This is good. - Sister, you have something for me?

You're here. Take a look. Does anyone 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 did you get all these?

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.

My Lady, 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 the marriageable age.

But I think my sister shouldn't worry about this.

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. It's time.

I've been neglectful. I've always thought of Xiao Qing as still being naive.

Who would have known that she and Brother Zhang have developed feelings over time?

But Yutang cares about 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 likes a mortal,

that can be a 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. - What's the difference?

All demons possess a toxin in their bodies.

It is against the celestial law for a demon to love a mortal. If they stay together, then the toxin will attack the heart.

My Lord, you almost died back then because you were afflicted by my demon toxin.

But aren't we fine now?

My Lady, do you not have an antidote?

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 and his family.

What you said makes sense. I'll go ask around about

whether Yutang has any relatives.

Marriage is a big deal. We can't be casual about it.

Are you really all right?

Xiao Qing, you are here.

- It's for me? - It's the newly made Loquat Paste; best for coughs.

You!

Yutang,

which medicine are you making?

Rehmannia glutinosa paste.

It's so hot that 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 silly goose!

How is this? Is the fan wind too strong? Good enough?

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 has taken you 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 Lord 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, 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.
