Jd5:{{Lb   正当许仙一筹莫展，想着该处置这些无用的存货时，病患一窝蜂来到许仙的药草店。 A,\6nO67   A plague had stricken the city, and he had nothing to treat them. k$H%.l;E   一场瘟疫肆虐整座城市，但许仙却没有法子诊治这些病患。 '~ ,p[   Just as he was starting to panic, his wife, Bai Su-Zhen, produced a recipe to use the rotten herbs as medicine. ][W_[0v   许仙开始感到慌张，此时，他的妻子白素贞运用腐烂的药草制作出能医好众人的药方。 K?s+3   Her remedy cured all the plague-afflicted citizens immediately. FDVcow*]n   她的药方立刻医好了被疟疾感染的民众。 l5\"9 ,<   Xu Xian's former boss even had to buy back some of the rotten herbs to treat his own family. .pfP7weQ   甚至许仙的前雇主还得回来向他买这些腐烂药草，回去医治自己的家人。 C0S^h<iSe*   Shortly after, a monk3 named Fa Hai approached Xu Xian, warning him that there was a demon4 in his house. w"OP8KA:^T   不久之后，一位叫做法海的和尚接近许仙，警告他家中住着妖怪。 9uRFnzJVx   "The demon," he said, "was Bai Su-Zhen." Xu Xian laughed. His kindhearted, resourceful wife was not a demon. BT)X8>ct   D[_|*9BC   “那个妖怪，”他说，“就是白素贞。”许仙大笑。他那善良又足智多谋的妻子不可能是什么妖怪。 -8r   Fa Hai insisted. He told Xu Xian to serve his wife realgar wine on the fifth day of the fifth month, when demons5' powers are weakest. ~><^'j[   但法海坚持自己的说法。他要许仙在五月五日让白素贞喝下雄黄酒，那是妖怪法力最虚弱的时刻。 Row)hx8   "If she wasn't a demon," he explained, "it wouldn't hurt her." S+'rG+NJ   “如果她不是妖怪，”他解释道，“雄黄酒对她并无害。” SfJ./ny   Xu Xian dismissed the monk politely, with no intention of serving Bai Su-Zhen the wine. ]Ar\c["   许仙礼貌地请走法海和尚，丝毫没有想让白素贞喝下雄黄酒的意思。 r*$Ner   But as the day approached, he decided6 to try it. 8zA=;~GHP   但随着日子越来越接近，他还是决定试试看。 ?;vgUO   As soon as the wine touched Bai Su-Zhen's lips, she ran to the bedroom, claiming she wasn't feeling well. uL3Eq>~x   白素贞的嘴唇一碰到雄黄酒，她就冲回房间，说自己身子不适。 " R-!(9k^`   Xu Xian prepared some medicine and went to check on her. OiE;B   许仙准备了一些药，到房间看看她的状况。 ]UH`Pdlt   But instead of his wife, he found a giant white serpent with the bloody7 forked tongue in the bed. K'X2dG*   但在房间的不是她的妻子，而是一只躺在床上的白色巨蟒，吐着血红色的蛇信。 A5i:x$ww   He collapsed8, killed by the shock. When Bai Su-Zhen opened her eyes, she realized immediately what must have happened. ZO4*sIw%   许仙倒地，太过冲击而惊吓致死。当白素贞醒来时，她立刻了解可能发生了什么事情。 5aln>1x>hn   The truth was that Bai Su-Zhen was an immortal9 snake with formidable magical powers. tZ` z   真相是，白素贞其实是一只长生不老的白蛇精，拥有强大的法力。 D\[h:8k   She had used her powers to take a human form and improve her and her husband's fortunes. ~er\~kp   她运用法力将自己变回人形，并为她和许仙补运。 :>TEDy~O%   Her magic couldn't revive Xu Xian, but she had one more idea to save him—an herb that could grant longevity10 6B@CurgB   她的法力无法让许仙复活，但她还有个方法可以救回他－一种能延年益寿， +)j 1 .X   and even bring the dead back to life, guarded by the Old Man of the South Pole in the forbidden peaks of the Kun Lun Mountains. h$.:Uj8/   甚至让人起死回生的草药，由昆仑山禁忌山峰上的南极仙翁所看守。 9lGOWRxR)   She rode to the mountains on a cloud, then continued on foot passed gateways11 +hE(Ra#   hSFn8mpXT   她乘着云朵到昆仑山，接着徒步穿过道路及拱门， u%]shm   and arches until she reached one marked "Beyond Mortals" hanging over a silver bridge. 2gzou|Y   直到她看到一座银桥，桥上挂着“隔凡桥”的牌子。 ]J:1P`k.   On the other side, two of the Old Man's disciples12 guarded the herb. l5g$vh\aQ]   桥的另一头是南极仙翁的两个弟子，负责看守药草。 1j:Wh   Bai Su-Zhen disguised herself as a monk and told them she'd come to invite the Old Man to a gathering13 of the gods. {dL?rQ>5L   白素贞假扮成和尚，告诉他们她是来邀请南极仙翁参加神仙的聚会。 94 e): jS   While they relayed her message, she plucked some leaves on the herb and ran. ;x:rZV/   两个弟子前去传话时，白素贞拔了一些草药上的叶子，拔腿便跑。  )$`wIp   The servants realized they had been tricked and chased her. Bai Su-Zhen coughed up a magic ball and threw it at one. [@Q_(LQ-U   两个弟子发现自己受骗，连忙赶上去追她。白素贞吐出一个法球，丢向其中一个弟子。 - /(s#D   As the other closed in on her, she put the herb under her tongue for safekeeping, but its magic forced both of them into their true forms. /v/C<]    另一个弟子追上她，白素贞便将草药藏在舌头下保护，但草药的法力太强，两人被迫化为原形。 W-.pmU e2   As the crane's long beak14 clamped around her, the Old Man appeared. :$_6SQ<?   正当这只鹤的长喙紧紧咬住她，南极仙翁出现了。 H}H7lO   "Why," he asked, "would she risk her life to steal his herb when she was already immortal?" Nnk@h   “为什么，”他问道，“她已经是不死之身，却还要冒着生命危险偷走草药呢？” [Z~ 2   Bai Su-Zhen explained her love for Xu Xian. Even if he didn't want to be with her now that he knew she was a demon, i thewup   白素贞解释了她自己对许仙的爱。即便知道许仙发现自己是妖怪后就会离开她， LwhyE:1   she was determined15 to bring him back to life. )13dn]o=2   她还是决心要救回他的性命。 DK=cVpN%s   The two had a karmic connection dating back more than a thousand years. BCe|is0   两人其实在一千多年前便有一段尘缘。  qNm$Fx   When Bai Su-Zhen was a small snake, a beggar was about to kill her, but a kind passerby16 rescued her. -jn WZ5.   当时白素贞还是一只小蛇，一个乞丐正要杀了她，但一个善良的路人救了她。 x5QaM.+=J   Her rescuer was Xu Xian in a past life.
