The Sorcerer and the White Snake Page #3

---

What's love like in this human world?

What do you mean?

l'd just like to know what kind of couple we are

Tell me

Well, there are several kinds...

Some couples are like birds in the forest

Each can fly away if they want

Not that kind!

Another kind is...

...where the husband gets rich and dreams...

...of his wife's death

Xu Xian!

l'll kill you!

Watch out!

Don't chase me!

You'll make me drop the herbs!

l'll kill you!

l'll kill you! l'll kill you!

This disease cannot be cured

Master

They are victims of demons

At best, they'll go mad... at worst, they'll die

while they're alive, l must try to save them

Take precautions, don't go to strange places alone

Thank you, Master

Where did this disease come from?

So many people suddenly dying

You should take some rest

You've been making medicine for three days!

l can't

l have to find the cure

Susu, give me a hand

lt mustn't stick...

...to the bottom of the pot

Preserving vital essence

concentrating vigor

boosting the spirit

Aside from these fundamentals...

...the medicine must strengthen basic functions

This is suoh a fierce disease

Can this medicine work?

l don't really know

Woman...

Disciples!

Foul demons! Crossing the three realms

and five planes...

...you've harmed the people

and spread chaos and evil!

By Buddha's mercy, if you choose to repent...

...you still have a chance to live

We'd rather die than listen to your nonsense!

Beware! The fox-demons are casting a charm!

On guard!

Yes, Master!

Maximum protection shield!

Heaven needs no hearing, ecstasy needs no sight

Void my sense of self

What's that mantra?

ls it real or are you making it up?

Show your real forms!

By heaven's mercy

Master, we regret our sin

Please let us go. We beg you

Silence! You are demons!

return to the six paths of transmigration!

Accept your punishment with humllity!

Amitabha...

Sister, Sister

What's wrong? Are you alright?

lt's nothing

That's impossible...

if you keep on like this...

...something will go very wrong

l know what l'm doing

All you care about is that Xu Xian

Adding your vital essence to that medicine...

...is costing you centuries of self-improvement

l don't want to see him work so hard

l want to help him

But you may not live to see him again!

lt can't be that bad

Of course it is

l have to go

Wait!

Ah, Dr Xu is here

Dr Xu, thank you!

You're truly our savior

We owe you our lives

You and your wife are such good people

Don't rush

There's enough for everyone

Thank you

Master, you should take some too

lt cures sickness and prevents infection

Thank you

Master...

Did you mix this medicine?

Yes

No-one helped you?

Yes, my wife did

You are the quintessence of benevolence

Take this spirit dagger as a token of thanks

l can't, Master, l'm just doing my duty

You shouldn't refuse a gift from a senior

Keep it to protect yourself

Thank you, Master

Amitabha...

You think you can run?

You made the cure for the fox-demon's poison

So what?

Making it has cost you centuries

of your vital essence

You're kind to the ordinary people

But in your eyes, all we do is harm people

Despite good intentions, you will harm someone

Who will l harm?

You should know that

Xu Xian is my true love, how could l harm him?

You're from different realms! Being together...

...you drain his life-force and distort his destiny

Human lives are short, and true love is rare

He didn't choose to love you, you took his love

What does that matter? He's happy with me

Go chant your sutras!

You know nothing of love

if Xu Xian knew you are a snake...

...would he still love you?

l truly love him

if that's the case, shed your own tears

Don't make him shed tears over you

Since you're so benevolent...

...l'll let you go this time

if l see you again in this realm,

there'll be no mercy

Susu, l'm home

So soon?

You're back...

Look!

What's special about today?

Well, everyone else...

...is celebrating the Dragon Boat Festival

while l am celebrating...

...the best day l've ever had!

The day my medicine cured everyone!

Really?

That's wonderful

The old villagers were so grateful

They gave us all this food

Susu, thank you for working so hard

Here, a toast to you

l'm hungry

Here, try this

lt's good

You have some too

What's wrong?

What kind of wine is this?

They distilled it themselves

Sulphur-flower wine!

That's right

lt's a festival tradition, it wards off snake-bites

Susu?

Susu? What's wrong? Susu!

Susu? Susu? What's the matter?

Are you alright?

l'm alright

Susu!

Why lock the door? Open it!

Susu...

Don't frighten me!

Susu...

What's the matter?

Susu!

Susu!

Susu!

Susu, what are you doing?

Open the door!

Susu, don't frighten me

Xu Xian...

Do you recall...

...what you said to me when you proposed?

l want to hear you say it again

l knew you were playing a trick on me!

l'd rather not repeat it

if you don't...

...l might never hear it again

Alright, alright

l'll say it

But then you must open the door!

Alright

''All it took was one kiss''

''l'm sure that the wheels of fate turned...''

''...and brought me to a perfect moment...''

''...of tenderness and happiness''

''From now on...''

''...every moment, every second l have...''

''...l will spend beside you...''

''...to make you happy''

Susu! Susu!

Open the door, Susu!

l gave you a chance

You didn't leave, so now l must take you

Monk...

Why are you intent on destroying our happiness?

Susu! Who are you talking to?

Don't chase her

She was stabbed with the spirit dagger

Losing vital essence, she can't take human form

Master, where is my wife?

Did the white snake eat her?

The white snake was your wife

You married a thousand year old snake demon

lmpossible!

lmpossible!

lmpossible!

Sister, l'll give you some of my vital essence

lt's no use

You have only a few centuries' worth

That spirit dagger had thousands!

We were wrong to come here

lt wasn't worth it, to see you like this

Maybe l shouldn't have done it...

But l have no regrets

Only now do l know...

...what true love is

Love...

ls it really so important?

Tell me...

How can l save Susu?

The one thing that might is spirit herb

lt can bring the dead back to life

lt only grows in the Lei Feng Pagoda

A demon like me can't even get in there!

Plus, there is only a single sprout

lt is really, really scary.

They say fire can't even burn it!

Even if it takes braving swords and seas of fire...

...l shall save Susu

l can't take you any further

You dare to steal the spirit herb? Thief!

Which is the real spirit herb?

You will know after your death

l'll find it even if it kills me!

l must save Susu!

There's only a single sprout.

Fire can't even burn it!

They found us!

Did you get the spirit herb?

l did

Then let's get out of here!

lt is going to be a disaster lf they catch you

You take the spirit herb, l'll distract them

Demons have been confined in

Lei Feng Pagoda for aeons!

The spirit herb kept them trapped
