Chapter 10: Flooding Jinshan Temple
第10章：水漫金山
When Bai Suzhen learned that Xu Xian was being held at Jinshan Temple, she and Xiaoqing immediately went to demand his release. They stood at the gates of the temple, their voices echoing through the mountain.
当白素贞得知许仙被扣留在金山寺时，她和小青立即前去要求释放他。她们站在寺庙大门口，声音在山间回荡。
"Fahai! Release my husband at once!" Bai Suzhen cried, her magic surging around her. "He does not belong here. He belongs with his family."
“法海！立刻释放我的丈夫！”白素贞哭喊着，周身魔力涌动。“他不属于这里。他属于他的家。”
Fahai appeared on the temple walls, looking down at them with disdain. "He has chosen to stay here for his own protection. A spirit like you has no right to claim a human soul. Leave this place before I am forced to act."
法海出现在寺庙围墙上，轻蔑地看着她们。“他为了自我保护选择了留在这里。像你这样的妖怪没有权利索取人类的灵魂。在我被迫动手之前，赶快离开这里。”
"I will not leave without him!" Bai Suzhen declared. She called upon the spirits of the water, and the river began to rise. A massive wave crashed against the mountain, flooding the lands around the temple.
“没有他我绝不离开！”白素贞宣布。她召唤了水灵，河水开始上涨。巨大的浪潮冲击着大山，淹没了寺庙周围的土地。
The battle was fierce. Fahai used his golden bowl and sacred chants to hold back the water, while Bai Suzhen and Xiaoqing used their magic to keep the pressure on. The sky darkened, and the sound of crashing waves filled the air. However, Bai Suzhen was still weakened by her pregnancy. She could not maintain the flood forever.
战斗非常激烈。法海使用他的金钵和神圣的咒语来抵挡洪水，而白素贞和小青则利用她们的魔力保持压力。天空变暗，惊涛骇浪的声音充斥着空气。然而，白素贞因为怀孕仍然身体虚弱。她无法永远维持洪水。
"Sister, we must stop!" Xiaoqing shouted over the roar of the water. "The flood is causing harm to the innocent people in the valley. This is not what we wanted!"
“姐姐，我们必须停下来！”小青在水的咆哮声中喊道。“洪水正在伤害山谷里的无辜百姓。这不是我们想要的！”
Realizing the suffering she was causing, Bai Suzhen finally relented. The waters receded, leaving behind a path of destruction. She had failed to rescue Xu Xian, and she had committed a great sin by harming the innocent. Exhausted and heartbroken, the sisters retreated to Hangzhou, unaware that Xu Xian had witnessed the entire battle from the temple windows. He saw the power of her love, but he also saw the destruction it could cause. His heart was more divided than ever.
意识到自己造成的痛苦，白素贞最终放弃了。洪水退去，留下一片狼藉。她没能救出许仙，而且因为伤害无辜而犯下了大罪。精疲力竭、心碎不已的姐妹俩退回了杭州，却不知道许仙在寺庙窗户里目睹了整场战斗。他看到了她爱的力量，但也看到了它所能造成的破坏。他的心比以往任何时候都更加矛盾。
