Deeply disgusted,the Buddha saw the stolen insignia，of mantle and wand，this in turn，leading him to notice that the sacrificial bowl was missing as well. |
It,too,must have been down there,even though he could not see it. |
He instantly ordered his property to fly back to him in heavn. |
The mantle and wand at once soared up into the sky. |
The sacrificial bowl,however,was beneath the pagoda. |
The Buddha’s command was such that the sacrificial bowl was empowered with such force that the Leifeng Pagoda collapsed. |
The sacrificial bowl itself shattered and fell to the ground. |
Through the loss of the divine regalia,Fa Hai had become almost completely powerless. |
With the remains of his magical abilities,he lifted himself up into the heavens to apologize to the Buddha for his deception and to ask for forgiveness and support. |
At the same moment,the Buddha saw the white snake making its escape from the demolished sacrificial bowl,turning into a beautiful woman at the bat of an eye. |
Realization dawning,he suddenly perceived the entire scope of evil doings for which Fa Hai was responsible. |
The Buddha，seized with such unbounded fury and disgust of the fake monk,dealt him such a heaby blow that he immediately turned into a ridiculous little crab,flying down with a plop into the West Lake. |
After all the years in prison,Suzhen at first felt quite unsure on her feet. |
Xiao Qing ran towards her friend and embraced her tightly. |
＂Suzhen!How wonderful!We habe all missed you so much.＂ |
＂It’s over now.From now on,the wrech will only fight against the fishes.＂ |
＂Xian and your child are already waiting for you.＂ |
Arm in arm,the two friends walked down the stairs that had led to the Leifeng Pagoda. |
Time stood still for a piece of eternity while Bai Suzhen and Xu Xian held each other in their arms. |
＂You will never have to leave me,my love!＂ |
After a few quiet days in complete pruvacy,Suzhen and Xian reopened their pharmacy. |
Togrther with their son and their heroic friend Xiao Qing,they lived a long life in peace and happiness on the West Lake. |
The citizens of Hangzhou were so touched by Bai Suzhen destiny that they tetold the story of her life in the form of artful woodcarvings placed in the completely rebuilt Leifeng Pagoda. |
All over China,the＂Legend of the White Snake＂is well known. |
In drama,opera,and film,Bai Suzhen’s destiny has moved the hearts of the people. |
The boundaries between fantasy and reality are fluid. |
The West Lake and the white snake build a unity in which the landscape merges with human imagination. |
The true magic of the West Lake and its people can only be fully experienced by knowing about the secret of the white snake. |
