The Sorcerer and the White Snake

---

Master, where did this blizzard come from?

Don't believe everything you see!

But l really feel cold!

Then you're already under her spell

l've lost without fighting?

The lce harpy!

Wait!

You're no match for her

Now you tell me!

You have come so far to find me

Are you not entranced by my charms?

lnstead of meditating on your sins...

...you are still harming humans!

Blame those men, not me!

l was so good to each one of them

But their roving eyes strayed away from me

So they deserved it!

You're an enchantress, they were humans

You were never meant to be together

Today l'll bring it to an end

Monk, you think you can escape from my spell?

Then come and get me!

Master, have you killed her?

l've trapped her

Confine her in the Lei Feng Pagoda

Me again?

lt's me!

''Jin Shan Temple''

''Lei Feng Pagoda''

Trying to scare me?

Master wouldn't have trapped you

if you were really scary

We're giving you another chance

A chance to reflect and improve

if you make real progress in meditation...

...you'll be released

You, too! Study to improve yourself!

Hey! Hurry up back there!

Coming!

Xu Xian...

l shouldn't have climbed up here

to pick herbs with you

Be a bit more patient

Look! Here's one!

Unlike Shennong, you know the value of herbs

Xu Xian, you even know which flowers to eat

Which flowers cure which ailments

Do you even know what flower that is?

That fool is eating flowers! They have thorns!

He's no fool

He's not picking the pretty wild roses

with their thorns

Roses are pretty...

But not as pretty as me

You... you're more like a hornflower

Blowing your own horn from dawn to dusk

Hey, don't you even know...

Medicines cure some ailments

But others need liquor distilled from flowers!

That's absolutely right!

Let's keep going

- Alright

- Climb further?

Look, they're still digging for herbs

They'll strip the whole mountain bare!

l'll give them a scare!

What? Qingqing...

Xu Xian? Xu Xian?

He's coming to

Xu Xian, are you alright?

Xu Xian!

Xu Xian!

Where's that girl?

What girl?

Maybe you banged your head too hard...

Just now, in the water, a girl kissed me

She breathed into my mouth

She saved me

Hey! The one giving you the kiss of life was me!

Why did you save him?

You even gave his vital energy a boost!

Hey, l'm talking to you! What are you staring at?

Nothing

Nothing? You're smitten!

Master, lt looks like another bat-demon bite

Amitabha...

Today is the 15th...

The day of the Lantern Festival

We have to find these demons soon

Or many more people will die

Amitabha...

Ferryman, wait!

Here!

We need to cross the river, ferryman

l'm no ferryman, but jump in

l hope we're not delaying you

Not at all! To help others...

...is to spend time well

Thank you, kind sir

Sir...

What you just said was very interesting

How do you use your time

when you're not helping others?

l'm aiming to become...

...a doctor of medicine

Good, good! Young men like us should have dreams!

l have one too

l dream of become the Abbot of Jinshan Temple

And where would that leave me?

Uh, Master... that's not...

l didn't mean now...

l mean. after...

After my death?

You want me to die?

No. l... l...

That's not what l meant, Master... l...

lt seems you are Abbot Fahai of Jinshan Temple

lt takes ten years of good deeds

for two people to meet

lt's destiny that let us to be acquainted

Young man, you're from Hangzhou?

Yes, my name's Xu Xian

l'm a herbalist

Master, what are you counting?

How long until l die

Xu Xian, the weather's nice today!

That it is

Don't change the subject

What was your dream again?

No...

The ultimate dream

l don't have any dream!

My only dream is my wish that you...

White, tell us what's bothering you

Turtle and l can help you resolve it

What... do... you...

l want to visit the human world

You just want to see that flower-eating fool!

l'd just like to take another look at him

Look at what? He's just a common mortal!

You've been moping over him for days!

What's this all about?

She used her vital essence

to save a fool who was drowning

if... your... lips...

Let me say it

if their lips met...

...there was a flow of vital essences

He's in you and you're in him!

Nothing so serious,

l just want to take a look at him

Don't give me a hard time

Qingqing, come with me!

Hey, where are you going?

l want to come! Take me too!

l will just stay here

See how much fun the mortal world is?

ln a moment, get off the boat...

...and find him for me

l'll be strolling around here

When you find him,

bring him to the pavilion on the lake

Why don't you find him yourself?

l want to play a little joke on him

And see how nice he is

Master, it's turning!

Then don't blow on it!

We'll split up to look around

Ah!

Watch out!

What is it?

A demon!

A demon? How do you know?

l'm an expert, of course l know

Are you going to exorcise it?

Shh, not so loud! lt's nearby!

My Master and l have been tracking it for ages

Master says we must exorcise it today

Why do you have to do that?

Demons hurt people

What about demons which don't hurt people?

l don't know

Could you make friends with them?

Definitely not!

Why not?

Master only taught me how to exorcise them

Not how to make friends with them

Then your Master has a problem

Or maybe his Master had a problem

Why don't l have a problem?

Because you absolutely don't have one

You're very nice

And very smart

l'd like to have a friend like you

l'm Qingqing

l'm Neng Ren

l'm busy, l have to go

Take care!

You are the gentleman my sister wants to see

Look again, do l look like a gentleman?

You have the wrong man

Can't be...

You're a herb-picker, aren't you?

Yes, but l'm not a gentleman

So l can't possibly be the one

your sister wants to see

l recognize you, you're the man who eats flowers

Then what's my name?

Who am l?

l don't know

But you are the one my sister wants to see

lt's Lantern Festival night, go and enjoy it

And stop bothering me

Goodnight... young miss

What on earth?

Why's it moving?

Stop!

You're a real fool

Where do you think you're going?

Sorry! Sorry!

l didn't do that on purpose!

Sit down

Miss, it's late and you're here alone

This isn't proper

Don't treat me as a stranger

You don't need to be so polite

No, no, l should go

Who built this pavilion? lt's so rickety

Well, l think it's very nice

And it's a perfect spot to see the West Lake

l'm afraid l'm not so interested

And l need to get home

This early?

There's moonlight on the lake,

a pavilion in the moonlight...

And we're in the pavilion

Don't you think it's romantic?

l'm too busy for romance

What are you avoiding?

Why are you keeping such a distance from me?

Why don't you like me?

lt's not that l don't like you, Miss

But someone else already has my heart

Miss, l'm a very poor man

l pick herbs for a living

l'm not worthy of your affections

Then tell me about her

What kind of person is she?

l know almost nothing about her
