    [Episode 17: Morphed Snake (3)]
[00:42] ---
    This is all…
[00:47] ---
    for honor!
[00:49] ---
    Seal!
[01:04] ---
    Amitabha…
[01:13] ---
    It's a miracle!
[01:14] ---
    Your heroic deed has saved us all, Master!
[01:16] ---
    Please accept our gratitude!
[01:19] ---
    You saved Mount Deergate!
[01:21] ---
    Yes, indeed!
[01:22] ---
    You are a living god, Master!
[01:25] ---
    Amitabha.
[01:27] ---
    Master, your powers are astounding,
[01:28] ---
    and your kindness knows no bounds.
[01:30] ---
    Your powers are astounding,
[01:32] ---
    and your kindness knows no bounds!
[01:38] ---
    Respected by the monks,
[01:39] ---
    worshipped by the squires…
[01:41] ---
    That's the kind of life I yearn for!
[01:48] ---
    I was no longer Zhang Ergou.
[01:50] ---
    Instead, I was the esteemed…
[01:52] ---
    Master Kongming!
[01:58] ---
    [20 years later]
[02:00] ---
    I've always dreamed
[02:02] ---
    of living like a great master,
    secluded in the mountains.
[02:05] ---
    Where outside…
[02:06] ---
    my worshipers awaited.
[02:09] ---
    You are now cured.
[02:10] ---
    Take care to recuperate.
[02:13] ---
    There's no need, ma'am!
[02:16] ---
    Please accept it!
[02:17] ---
    It's a small gift of gratitude
    for all you've done.
[02:20] ---
    You're too kind!
[02:22] ---
    Take care!
[02:24] ---
    Thank you very much.
[02:27] ---
    I remember when you had nothing to your name.
[02:30] ---
    To think you'd become
[02:31] ---
    the illustrious Master
    Kongming we know today!
[02:47] ---
    But I understood
[02:49] ---
    I wasn't truly the great master
    everyone thought I was.
[02:52] ---
    Because of that,
[02:54] ---
    I was plagued by nightmares.
[03:02] ---
    I had to remain vigilant at all times.
[03:14] ---
    Snowy?
[03:18] ---
    Snowy!
[03:38] ---
    I knew you would be here.
[03:39] ---
    In just a few days,
[03:41] ---
    you've grown so much!
[03:55] ---
    He's growing at a frightening rate.
[03:57] ---
    What is going on?
[04:03] ---
    What are you doing?
[04:11] ---
    It's alright.
[04:12] ---
    Your powers are growing.
[04:13] ---
    That's wonderful, of course.
[04:26] ---
    Not long ago,
[04:27] ---
    plague and drought swept through
    the Mount Deergate area.
[04:31] ---
    It should've been another chance
    for me to spread my name.
[04:35] ---
    However…
[04:37] ---
    Have you heard?
[04:38] ---
    Deergate Temple is open!
[04:39] ---
    They're distributing porridge and herbs!
[04:41] ---
    It's small amounts, but it's a
    blessing in this time of disaster!
[04:45] ---
    The monks sure are compassionate!
[04:48] ---
    Let's hurry!
[04:48] ---
    We're going to miss it!
[04:50] ---
    So what if they have herbs?
[04:51] ---
    I have my snake pills!
[05:14] ---
    Master Kongming has come!
[05:16] ---
    The honorable and benevolent Master Kongming!
[05:20] ---
    May the heavens bless you!
[05:22] ---
    Please give us some more pills!
[05:24] ---
    That's mine!
[05:26] ---
    Give me one!
[05:28] ---
    I didn't get any, Master!
[05:31] ---
    That's right!
[05:32] ---
    Please give us some more!
[05:37] ---
    Snowy!
[05:39] ---
    I know you're tired,
[05:40] ---
    but I just need 50…
[05:42] ---
    No, 40! 40 more!
[05:44] ---
    Can't you?
[05:52] ---
    Get back here!
[05:53] ---
    Snowy!
[05:54] ---
    How dare you defy me!
[06:05] ---
    What?
[06:06] ---
    I raised you all these years,
[06:07] ---
    and this is how you repay me?!
[06:09] ---
    I'll be condemned by those
    who didn't get a pill!
[06:11] ---
    Understand?!
[06:36] ---
    Normally,
[06:37] ---
    Snowy would never defy my orders.
[06:39] ---
    But because of the recent demand,
[06:41] ---
    his body had grown weak,
[06:43] ---
    and he was often absentminded.
[06:46] ---
    He stopped listening to me like he used to.
[06:48] ---
    Snowy!
[06:49] ---
    Snowy!
[06:51] ---
    We're leaving to summon rain in two hours!
[06:53] ---
    Do you hear me?
[07:00] ---
    Snowy?
[07:00] ---
    Snowy!
[07:01] ---
    Stop!
[07:03] ---
    What's wrong with you?!
[07:08] ---
    I said to summon a bit
    of rain for the drought,
[07:10] ---
    not to flood the entire mountain!
[07:22] ---
    What happened?
[07:24] ---
    Mount Deergate was suddenly flooded!
[07:26] ---
    Master Kongming!
[07:27] ---
    It was him!
[07:28] ---
    He's getting too old and
    lost control of his powers!
[07:31] ---
    That's right!
[07:32] ---
    We all saw it!
[07:33] ---
    We were all there!
[07:34] ---
    I've always been suspicous of him!
[07:35] ---
    He's a priest of unknown origin!
[07:37] ---
    Who knows?
[07:38] ---
    Maybe he's a swindler!
[07:39] ---
    Or an evil spirit in disguise!
[07:40] ---
    Humans can't summon rain!
[07:41] ---
    You're right!
[07:42] ---
    His pills are also strange!
[07:44] ---
    I get nightmares from them!
[07:46] ---
    You shameless people!
[07:48] ---
    For so many years,
[07:49] ---
    I did everything you asked
    of me, all for free!
[07:52] ---
    Yet you forsake me as soon
    as something goes awry!
[07:55] ---
    I'm not getting old,
[07:56] ---
    and I'm not a swindler!
[07:58] ---
    I just don't want to be Zhang Ergou!
[08:00] ---
    I want to live as Master Kongming
    for the rest of my life!
[08:04] ---
    I'll do anything…
[08:06] ---
    to regain my honor!
[08:10] ---
    The evil spirit is in this well.
[08:21] ---
    That's…!
[08:33] ---
    An evil spirit!
[08:34] ---
    He wasn't lying!
[08:35] ---
    Master! Please save us!
[08:49] ---
    And so,
[08:50] ---
    you thought up a plan to kill
    Snowy, who lives in that well,
[08:53] ---
    all in order to prove yourself.
[08:56] ---
    Although my memory is hazy,
[08:58] ---
    it's evident that I succeeded.
[09:02] ---
    For the sake of your petty "honor,"
[09:04] ---
    you lost sight of what's most important.
[09:06] ---
    Haven't you realized?
[09:07] ---
    There's nothing more important than my honor!
[09:10] ---
    I am Master Kongming!
[09:11] ---
    I can't be associated with a snake spirit!
[09:14] ---
    I had to kill him
[09:15] ---
    to prove my innocence!
[09:17] ---
    What innocence?
[09:18] ---
    Snowy might be a spirit,
[09:20] ---
    but he's never done evil
[09:21] ---
    and always listened to you.
[09:23] ---
    Who was it that told him to summon rain?
[09:25] ---
    Who pretends to be someone he's not?
[09:27] ---
    So what if I'm pretending?
[09:28] ---
    I still saved countless people!
[09:30] ---
    Even the abbot acknowledged my merits!
[09:33] ---
    Zhang Ergou,
[09:34] ---
    you did nothing.
[09:36] ---
    What can you do? Summon rain? Refine pills?
[09:38] ---
    All you did was use Snowy's
    powers to deceive others.
[09:41] ---
    Do you think…
[09:43] ---
    the god who calculates karma is blind?
[09:45] ---
    No…
[09:46] ---
    No!
[09:47] ---
    It can't be!
[09:48] ---
    I killed an evil spirit!
[09:49] ---
    That has to count!
[09:51] ---
    Killed an evil spirit?
[09:53] ---
    The reason Snowy fell into madness…
[09:56] ---
    You know it better than anyone else,
[09:58] ---
    Zhang Ergou.
[09:59] ---
    Nonsense!
[10:00] ---
    How would I…
[10:04] ---
    Snowy?
[10:05] ---
    Snowy!
[10:06] ---
    I knew you would be here.
[10:07] ---
    In just a few days,
[10:09] ---
    you've grown so much!
[10:10] ---
    He's growing at a frightening rate…
[10:12] ---
    What is going on?
[10:13] ---
    What are you doing?
[10:15] ---
    What?
[10:16] ---
    I raised you all these years,
[10:17] ---
    and this is how you repay me?!
[10:19] ---
    Back then,
[10:21] ---
    he must've been trying to tell me
[10:22] ---
    that there's something in the well.
[10:25] ---
    Yet, I…
[10:26] ---
    I thought he was acting up
[10:27] ---
    and wanted to hurt me.
[10:30] ---
    He sacrificed his body for my sake,
[10:32] ---
    to the point of losing his own mind.
[10:34] ---
    Because he didn't want to forget me…
[10:36] ---
    That's why he tried to refuse!
[10:38] ---
    Yet, I…
[10:48] ---
    You got what you wanted, didn't you?
[10:51] ---
    Why are you crying?
[11:05] ---
    Because…
[11:07] ---
    Just like the past… Again…
[11:10] ---
    I'm all alone…
[11:19] ---
    You've finally realized it.
[11:21] ---
    What's most important to
    you is actually Snowy.
[11:25] ---
    Zhang Ergou was kind and
    humble, but unfortunately…
[11:28] ---
    when he became the great Master Kongming,
[11:30] ---
    he lost that kind, humble heart.
[11:42] ---
    Snowy!
[11:43] ---
    Snowy!
[11:44] ---
    You didn't die!
[11:46] ---
    I'm so glad…
[11:47] ---
    This was all just a dream…
[11:50] ---
    I'm sorry.
[11:51] ---
    I almost forgot our promise!
[11:53] ---
    To never leave each other…!
[11:55] ---
    I'm glad it was just a dream.
[11:57] ---
    I'm so glad…
[11:58] ---
    Let's go, Snowy!
[12:00] ---
    Just like before!
[12:01] ---
    Together, through thick and thin!
[12:06] ---
    What's wrong?
[12:07] ---
    Snowy?
[12:08] ---
    Can you no longer understand me?
[12:11] ---
    What about this?
[12:19] ---
    I've wiped this white snake's memories.
[12:21] ---
    He's forgotten you.
[12:23] ---
    Your fate with him… ends here.
[12:27] ---
    No! That's impossible!
[12:30] ---
    Come here!
[12:31] ---
    Let's go eat roast chicken! Your favorite!
[12:33] ---
    Snowy?
[12:38] ---
    Come to me, Snowy!
[12:43] ---
    Be good!
[12:44] ---
    Come to me!
[12:47] ---
    I'm going to be angry!
[12:55] ---
    Snowy!
[12:58] ---
    You should go.
[12:59] ---
    This land is vast. Your future is limitless.
[13:01] ---
    But remember, don't carelessly summon rain!
[13:04] ---
    I won't spare you if you do!
[13:07] ---
    Snowy…
[13:13] ---
    Snowy!
[13:14] ---
    Come back, Snowy!
[13:16] ---
    Don't leave me!
[13:18] ---
    I want to live as Master Kongming
    for the rest of my life!
[13:21] ---
    We promised…
[13:22] ---
    to never leave each other!
[13:24] ---
    I'll do anything…
[13:25] ---
    Snowy…
[13:27] ---
    to regain my honor!
[13:39] ---
    Snowy…
[13:41] ---
    Snowy…
[13:50] ---
    In this world...
[13:52] ---
    There is only one Snowy.
[13:58] ---
    Wait…
[13:59] ---
    If Snowy is still alive,
[14:01] ---
    then who was killed earlier?
[14:22] ---
    Master! Bad news!
[14:24] ---
    Senior Juehui is…!
[14:26] ---
    He…
[14:28] ---
    What?
[14:42] ---
    You want me to kill you?
[14:47] ---
    Yes.
[14:49] ---
    On the day of the exorcism,
[14:51] ---
    I wish to take Snowy's place.
[14:56] ---
    [In this world, there is only one Snowy.]
