The ending of Green Snake?

The ending of "Green Snake" is that the water overflows the Jinshan Mountain, and the lives are ruined. The white snake gives birth, and the French sea can't rescue it. The white snake is finally crushed to death by the falling tower. The green snake finds out Xu Xian who has become a monk in Jinshan Temple, and learns that the sword killed him after the death of the white snake, so he can continue to accompany the white snake.

The white snake was finally crushed to death by the falling tower. Green Snake found out Xu Xian who had become a monk in Jinshan Temple, and learned that White Snake killed him with a sword after his death, so that he could continue to accompany the spirit of White Snake.

Extended information:

Fahai accused the green snake of killing innocent people and committing crimes, so she should be punished by law. The green snake retorted, "Fahai, haven't you killed anyone?" Fahai looked at hundreds of floating corpses of monks in Jinshan Temple, and was speechless. The green snake questioned Fahai's feelings, then plunged into the river and disappeared. Fahai was left alone on the water. Looking back, it is boundless and vicissitudes.

The film Green Snake was directed by Tsui Hark, starring Maggie Cheung, Joey Wong, Chiu Man-Cheuk and Wu Xingguo, and adapted from Li Bihua's novel of the same name. The film interlude was completed by songwriters James J.S.Wong and Lei Songde, and was released in 1993. The story is based on the folk legend "The Legend of the White Snake", but it is different from the traditional way of telling. Instead, it discusses the emotional entanglements between the green snake, the white snake, Xu Xian and Fa Hai from the perspective of the green snake, and questions whether there is love in the world and what it is.
