[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.]
