[00:04] ---
    You want me to kill you?
[00:08] ---
    Yes.
[00:10] ---
    On the day of the exorcism…
[00:12] ---
    I wish to take Snowy's place.
[00:16] ---
    That snake spirit bears no relation to you.
[00:19] ---
    It's my fault he ended up this way.
[00:22] ---
    If it weren't for my severed
    tail, left behind in that well…
[00:25] ---
    Snowy wouldn't have lost himself.
[00:29] ---
    The intermingling of our auras…
[00:32] ---
    is the reason for Mount Deergate's disaster.
[00:41] ---
    This has been my home for
    the past thousand years,
[00:43] ---
    and I am a senior monk here.
[00:45] ---
    I can't possibly ignore this.
[00:47] ---
    To end a disaster caused by the
    intermingling of two auras,
[00:50] ---
    only one needs to be destroyed.
[00:51] ---
    If you kill Snowy,
[00:53] ---
    Mount Deergate will return to normal.
[00:55] ---
    But I don't wish to take an innocent life.
[00:58] ---
    Oh?
[00:59] ---
    When'd you become this soft?
[01:05] ---
    Well…
[01:06] ---
    Much has happened over the years.
[01:12] ---
    Morphed snakes like me
[01:14] ---
    have always been regarded as ominous.
[01:26] ---
    We are at the world's mercy.
[01:28] ---
    I hated my fate,
[01:29] ---
    but I was helpless to change it.
[01:41] ---
    Just when I thought I would die there…
[01:46] ---
    Someone…
[01:47] ---
    appeared by my side.
[01:55] ---
    Her name was Bai Suyi.
[01:57] ---
    She was a white snake who had
    just attained a human form.
[02:00] ---
    Why…
[02:01] ---
    did you save me?
[02:04] ---
    You're also injured…
[02:17] ---
    If I didn't,
[02:18] ---
    I'd be ridden with guilt.
[02:25] ---
    But…
[02:26] ---
    I'm a morphed snake.
[02:28] ---
    Aren't you afraid
[02:30] ---
    of the consequences…?
[02:31] ---
    If you become strong enough,
[02:33] ---
    you won't have to fear them.
[02:37] ---
    She was right.
[02:38] ---
    Only by becoming stronger
[02:40] ---
    could I have a foothold in this world.
[02:46] ---
    I followed her,
[02:47] ---
    and we cultivated together.
[02:52] ---
    After I attained a human form,
[02:54] ---
    my powers grew stronger than ever before.
[03:01] ---
    So strong
[03:03] ---
    that they surpassed hers.
[03:19] ---
    It's you…!
[03:25] ---
    Wait!
[03:38] ---
    I should've known it was you.
[03:40] ---
    Why did you kill so many innocents?!
[03:44] ---
    Speak!
[03:47] ---
    Survival of the fittest.
[03:50] ---
    If I didn't kill your kind,
[03:51] ---
    I wouldn't have a foothold in this world…
[04:04] ---
    Must I kill…
[04:06] ---
    to have a foothold in this world?
[04:10] ---
    Don't listen to him!
[04:12] ---
    Your strength…
[04:13] ---
    should be used for good…
[04:16] ---
    not for killing people!
[04:33] ---
    Charge!
[04:50] ---
    That man was dead,
[04:53] ---
    but what he said continued to plague me.
[04:57] ---
    Over time,
[04:58] ---
    it became my greatest inner demon.
[05:08] ---
    You want me to stop?
[05:10] ---
    You…!
[05:10] ---
    Please stop!
[05:11] ---
    You didn't cultivate so
    you could kill people!
[05:17] ---
    You hold no regard for others,
[05:18] ---
    so you can never truly become "strong."
[05:23] ---
    If you keep doing this,
[05:24] ---
    you'll be the same as those who hurt you!
[05:27] ---
    Tch!
[05:41] ---
    Kill!
[05:43] ---
    Kill!
[05:44] ---
    Charge!
[06:01] ---
    Run!
[06:12] ---
    He commanded an entire city
[06:13] ---
    and even the skies.
[06:15] ---
    But his mistakes…
[06:17] ---
    caused the people to revolt
    and cost him his territory.
[06:20] ---
    His lover
[06:21] ---
    also died in that battle.
[06:23] ---
    Although he survived,
[06:25] ---
    he lost himself in his fury.
[06:27] ---
    In the end,
[06:28] ---
    it caused a great flood,
[06:30] ---
    and the city was destroyed.
[06:32] ---
    Just like that, he lost everything.
[06:35] ---
    I thought…
[06:36] ---
    with greater strength
[06:38] ---
    comes greater privileges.
[06:40] ---
    But
[06:41] ---
    I was wrong.
[06:44] ---
    Spirit Doctor Tao Yao!
[06:45] ---
    Tao City sent you here
[06:47] ---
    not to save me, but to kill me, right?
[06:52] ---
    Heh!
[07:14] ---
    I want to try living a
    life without my powers!
[07:19] ---
    I left.
[07:20] ---
    I didn't take his life with me.
[07:24] ---
    When I saw him again,
[07:26] ---
    his appearance was that of a legless monk.
[07:31] ---
    For a thousand years,
[07:32] ---
    he lived at Deergate Temple as a monk,
[07:35] ---
    secluded from the world.
[07:36] ---
    As years passed, he aged and "died,"
[07:38] ---
    returning each time with
    a different appearance.
[07:42] ---
    His Buddhist name
[07:43] ---
    always contained "Hui," for regret.
[07:47] ---
    He severed his tail and hid it in the well,
[07:50] ---
    giving up the powers that
    had taken countless lives.
[07:54] ---
    Even so…
[08:08] ---
    Juehui…
[08:10] ---
    You've been here for nearly a year now.
[08:12] ---
    Have you found any insight?
[08:15] ---
    You hold no regard for others,
[08:17] ---
    so you can never truly become "strong."
[08:20] ---
    If you keep doing this,
[08:21] ---
    you'll be the same as those who hurt you!
[08:25] ---
    Master…
[08:25] ---
    Do your regrets continue to plague you?
[08:29] ---
    I feel like I'm still missing something.
[08:32] ---
    Amitabha.
[08:34] ---
    Don't dwell on it too much.
[08:35] ---
    It will come to you naturally.
[08:39] ---
    Master!
[08:39] ---
    Master, the rain stopped!
[08:41] ---
    Can I go play outside?
[08:42] ---
    Wunian,
[08:43] ---
    please quiet down.
[08:44] ---
    Don't disturb your senior brother.
[08:48] ---
    Juehui.
[08:49] ---
    You need not stay inside all the time.
[08:52] ---
    In the world outside,
[08:54] ---
    you may find something new.
[09:05] ---
    Master's words came true.
[09:07] ---
    But I didn't realize
[09:09] ---
    the thing I was looking
    for… had already come.
[09:16] ---
    It was a weak snake spirit.
[09:18] ---
    I believe it only came to the temple
[09:20] ---
    because it was attracted by my tail.
[09:29] ---
    Nonetheless,
[09:30] ---
    I knew the intermingling of our
    auras would lead to disaster.
[09:35] ---
    Thus,
[09:36] ---
    I had no choice but to kill it.
[10:01] ---
    Snowy!
[10:04] ---
    I've failed this time,
[10:05] ---
    but I can just try again.
[10:25] ---
    Afterward,
[10:27] ---
    I often went to observe them,
[10:28] ---
    looking for an opportunity.
[11:10] ---
    Must I kill…
[11:12] ---
    to have a foothold in this world?
[11:14] ---
    Don't listen to him!
[11:16] ---
    Your strength…
[11:17] ---
    should be used for good…
[11:20] ---
    not for killing people!
[11:22] ---
    Please stop!
[11:23] ---
    You didn't cultivate…
[11:24] ---
    so you could kill people!
[11:27] ---
    I suddenly realized…
[11:28] ---
    They were right.
[11:35] ---
    Oh, thank you!
[11:47] ---
    I don't think I've seen that
    monk in the wheelchair before.
[11:50] ---
    From what I've heard,
[11:52] ---
    he sponsored all this!
[11:53] ---
    Ah,
[11:54] ---
    what a generous man.
[12:17] ---
    S-Senior Juehui!
[12:18] ---
    You're amazing!
[12:20] ---
    No. It's a trifling matter.
[12:23] ---
    No way! You've saved countless people!
[12:25] ---
    That's what the strong do!
[12:26] ---
    Wunian!
[12:27] ---
    I'm coming!
[12:35] ---
    It turns out…
[12:36] ---
    I don't need to wield a sword
[12:38] ---
    nor don armor
[12:39] ---
    to be "strong."
[12:47] ---
    It looks like…
[12:48] ---
    You've found your way?
[12:51] ---
    Thanks to your guidance,
[12:53] ---
    I was enlightened, Master.
[12:55] ---
    Oh?
[12:56] ---
    Strength is not about how much power one has,
[12:59] ---
    but what they do with it.
[13:00] ---
    As long as I am open-minded
    and compassionate,
[13:03] ---
    I will have a place in this world.
[13:06] ---
    Well said.
[13:08] ---
    But with this rain, many are suffering.
[13:11] ---
    It seems there is little we can do.
[13:13] ---
    We are quite helpless.
[13:15] ---
    You need not worry about that.
[13:17] ---
    As Master Kongming said,
[13:19] ---
    all of this was caused by the
    snake spirit inside the well.
[13:24] ---
    He will exorcise the evil spirit
    and save Mount Deergate.
[13:28] ---
    What?
[13:29] ---
    Amitabha.
[13:31] ---
    At last…
[13:33] ---
    This rain will end.
[13:45] ---
    I've lived for countless years already,
[13:49] ---
    but Snowy's life has just begun.
[13:51] ---
    If I don't save him,
[13:53] ---
    I'll be ridden with guilt.
[13:55] ---
    But you don't need to go that far.
[13:58] ---
    If you live another thousand years,
[13:59] ---
    you can save more people.
[14:01] ---
    No.
[14:02] ---
    My tail will remain
[14:04] ---
    for as long as I am alive.
[14:06] ---
    It's just Snowy this time,
[14:07] ---
    but my tail will continue to attract others.
[14:10] ---
    There's no telling
[14:12] ---
    what might happen then.
[14:16] ---
    Please fulfill my wish, Lady Tao Yao.
[14:22] ---
    You should know
[14:24] ---
    what my rules are.
[14:26] ---
    But my body would no longer be usable…
[14:28] ---
    Yes, it's a bad deal for me.
[14:33] ---
    But even so, you agree.
[14:34] ---
    Am I right?
[14:37] ---
    You've really changed
[14:39] ---
    over the past thousand years.
[14:41] ---
    Change is inevitable.
[14:48] ---
    And…
[14:50] ---
    I have another small request.
[15:24] ---
    Seeing that Master Kongming once saved Snowy,
[15:26] ---
    please don't kill him.
[15:28] ---
    And as for Snowy…
[15:30] ---
    Please let him forget everything.
[17:09] ---
    Many thanks.
[17:16] ---
    This is my first time seeing a
    spirit buried in a monk's robe.
[17:20] ---
    Amitabha.
[17:22] ---
    I hope he wasn't in too
    much pain when he died.
[17:25] ---
    It didn't hurt.
[17:26] ---
    I cast a spell on the sword.
[17:27] ---
    Oh?
[17:28] ---
    That's thoughtful of you.
[17:31] ---
    I see.
[17:32] ---
    By the way,
[17:33] ---
    what happened to Snowy?
[17:37] ---
    The day before,
[17:38] ---
    Snowy was completely ignorant to his plight.
[17:41] ---
    He obediently stayed in the well,
[17:43] ---
    trusting his companion's lies.
[17:45] ---
    Snowy.
[17:46] ---
    When you see my sword,
[17:47] ---
    don't dodge!
[17:49] ---
    I won't actually stab you,
[17:50] ---
    okay?
[17:52] ---
    Perhaps…
[17:53] ---
    his ignorance was for the best.
[18:02] ---
    Snake spirit!
[18:03] ---
    Someone asked me to give you a name.
[18:06] ---
    It'll help you attain a human form quicker,
[18:09] ---
    so you better be grateful.
[18:11] ---
    Don't make it random.
[18:12] ---
    It should fit his looks.
[18:13] ---
    You should keep it plain too.
[18:16] ---
    How about…
[18:17] ---
    Daisy?
[18:18] ---
    How does that suit him at all?
[18:20] ---
    Then… Stormy?
[18:22] ---
    I said plain…
[18:24] ---
    Why don't you name him, then?
[18:26] ---
    I got it!
[18:30] ---
    Your name will be…
[18:35] ---
    What kind of name is that?
[18:37] ---
    Shut up.
[18:38] ---
    I think it's pretty good.
[18:39] ---
    Right, Bai Su…
[18:47] ---
    He's gone.
[18:51] ---
    Oh, well.
[18:52] ---
    Let's head to Bianjing.
[18:53] ---
    You didn't forget about that?
[18:55] ---
    Of course not.
[18:56] ---
    This place was just on the way.
[18:58] ---
    Hmph!
[18:58] ---
    Says the one who has no sense of direction!
[19:02] ---
    Okay, okay!
[19:03] ---
    Don't fight!
[19:04] ---
    I have the final say, not you!
[19:05] ---
    But I'm the one who pays for our meals!

[21:04] ---
    So annoying.
[21:06] ---
    We're still far from Bianjing.
[21:08] ---
    Can't you stop for a bit?
[21:09] ---
    I'm saying a prayer for Senior Juehui.
[21:12] ---
    Ack!
[21:14] ---
    Did you sprain it?
[21:16] ---
    Tch.
[21:17] ---
    Praying for others?
[21:18] ---
    Worry about yourself instead.
[21:20] ---
    Just look at you.
[21:22] ---
    Your sprain may only be the
    start of your bad luck.
[21:25] ---
    Tao Yao!
[21:27] ---
    Moya,
[21:28] ---
    can you walk?
[21:29] ---
    I can carry you.
[21:31] ---
    Lord Liu, you're the best.
[21:33] ---
    Tch.
[22:22] ---
    Sir.
[22:23] ---
    Judging by your clothes,
[22:24] ---
    you aren't bandits.
[22:25] ---
    We're only passing through here.
[22:28] ---
    You have the wrong people.
[22:30] ---
    Y-yeah!
[22:30] ---
    Sir, look closely at us.
[22:32] ---
    We don't know you.
[22:47] ---
    How could you hit him?!
[22:49] ---
    Be careful.
[22:50] ---
    I want them alive.
[22:52] ---
    Sir,
[22:53] ---
    that's my monk and my fox.
[22:55] ---
    You can't just take them, you know?
[23:02] ---
    If this is trapped,
[23:04] ---
    you're dead meat.
[23:05] ---
    I'm not looking to take any lives today.
[23:10] ---
    These are…
[23:15] ---
    Luminous Pearls!
[23:17] ---
    Where'd you get such treasure?
[23:19] ---
    Two pearls…
[23:21] ---
    for the monk
[23:22] ---
    and the fox.
[23:25] ---
    Sure, sure.
[23:26] ---
    Take them both!
[23:28] ---
    Tao Yao!
[23:29] ---
    Hey!
[23:30] ---
    He wants Moya for the pearls!
[23:31] ---
    And Rolly, too!
[23:34] ---
    Yeah,
[23:35] ---
    I know.
[23:36] ---
    Wha…
[23:37] ---
    For Moya!
[23:38] ---
    Moya!
[23:39] ---
    It's worth.
[23:41] ---
    You're…
[23:42] ---
    You're really going to sell me?
[23:47] ---
    One pearl is enough to
    cover 20 years of expenses.
[23:49] ---
    Now I have two.
[23:51] ---
    Am I dreaming?
[23:53] ---
    The deal…
[23:54] ---
    is done.
[23:56] ---
    Help!
[23:57] ---
    Save me!
[23:58] ---
    Tao Yao!
[23:59] ---
    Lord Liu!
[24:01] ---
    Save me!
[24:03] ---
    Tao Yao,
[24:03] ---
    are you serious?
[24:05] ---
    What?
[24:06] ---
    They took Moya away!
[24:07] ---
    I know.
[24:09] ---
    Like I said, bad luck.
[24:11] ---
    Alright,
[24:11] ---
    let's go.
[24:14] ---
    You can go on your own.
[24:16] ---
    I'm saving Moya.
[24:18] ---
    Please take your time.
[24:20] ---
    I could use some peace and quiet.
