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
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
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
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?
