Legend of the Ancient Sword
Episode 25
He's an idiot, a clutz, and always bragging.
and he's always holding us back. He annoys me.
Xiang Ling!
Who are you?
I... I'm Lan Sheng.
Lan Sheng? You...
Xiang Ling
If you're scared,
I came here to protect you.
Why are you hiding behind him?
Come over here. Sit with me.
You came to protect me?
Look at your scary face. You are going to scare me to death.
You...Why did you come here?
Of course, it's for you.
I waited half a day, but you didn't come back.
I was worried for you.
I didn't expect so many mosquitoes.
If you're afraid of being bitten,
then you should head back.
If you won't go back, I won't go back.
Then you can stay here to get bitten.
bite you bite you bite you bite you!
Fine then.
Ok then.
After it!
Rouzhi.
I'm coming!
No!
You ate it.
Hurry and spew it out.
Spew it out. Spew it out. Spew it out.
Do you see it?
Drink more water.
Have to drink more!
Of course!
How's it now?
Is it out yet?
Xiang Ling, I'm begging you.
I drank so much water. Let me rest.
You can't.
This is for Tusu gege to heal his illness!
You have to spew it out.
But...I already drank alot of water.
I can't drink anymore.
I have an idea.
I'll help you suck it out.
Suck it out?
Ok! Ok!
I've been repaired for this.
Come on then!
Aren't you sucking it out? Why did you hit me?
I'm scared that it'll go into my stomach.
Ok!
I drank too much water.
I'm going to the lavatory.
-You can't! -What now?
It's going to be used for medicine.
Alright. Then you can only suck it out.
When it comes out, you need to grab it with your teeth.
If not, it'll go into your stomach.
Come on then.
I have a way.
Look you two!
Let's see if you can run now.
Tusu
Do you feel better?
I feel more comfortable.
Thank you for finding medicine for me.
Don't thank me.
I'm the one at fault.
Why do you say that?
That day in the cave
It was very hard for you to come out
I didn't have any strength to come help you
It was all my fault.
Silly girl.
How is that your fault?
I know that Xiang Ling still cares for me.
Tusu
Whether I'm Baili Tusu
or Han Yun Xi,
I still think of you as my little sister.
Then you will stay by my side right?
Xiang Ling
No one can stay my your side forever.
Just like your mother leaving you,
I could one day leave you too.
I don't want Tusu to leave me.
Where ever you go, I will follow you there.
Xiang Ling
What if one day I'm no longer here,
you don't have to look for me.
Go back to red river valley.
Stay there and have safe and happy life.
Shao Gong
I heard that
during these days,
you have been completely focused on making the magic pill.
You're worried for your loved ones.
Auntie Tong stayed by my side for many years
Shao Gong believes
If you want to create this magic pill
You definitely spare Auntie Tong and Xun Fang
But of course.
I came to tell you.
I will definitely respect Ji Tong
You don't have to worry.
But she's very old and weak.
I am not a person devoid of emotions
Since Xun Fang promised to stay and help you,
I won't hurt an old lady.
Don't worry.
I already ordered Yuan Wu to escort her back to Qin Chuan.
Thank you for your understanding.
I greatly appreciate it.
I haven't left the bed for a few days.
I feel that my body doesn't listen to me.
Move around for a few days will help, although there's not much scenery.
I'll take you out for a walk.
-Mister. -Are you ok?
Mister, are you ok?
Here, are you ok?
I'm ok, I'm ok. Thank you miss.
There are young men here. Why don't you let them work?
This place doesn't have any young people.
Our village's land is infertile.
The plants on the mountain are all withered.
Most of the young people are making a living outside the village.
All that's left in the village are us, waiting for death.
If there are only elderly people in the village,
then how do you normally make a living?
Luckily, the Luo family's son have been looking after us.
Or else none of us would be able to live
You are talking about Brother Luo?
You know him?
We were saved by him
Right now we're living in his home
So you guys are his guests!
Come and visit my home!
No need, we still want to walk some more
Then you must come another day, okay?
Thank you
Take it slowly
Slowly
What luck that we could come across someone as kind,
and respectful as Brother Luo
Seeing them, I've thought of Wu Meng Valley
I wonder how it's like now
After you injury heals Susu
we'll go back and take a look together
I don't even know when my injury will heal
Before we left, Shao Gong said Xun Fang and Ji Tong
were captured by people from Qing Yu Clan
Till now it is still unknown if they are alive
If we wait here for a few more days,
Shao Gong and them will face more danger
I wonder how Auntie Tong
is doing by herself
and if she has enough to eat on the way
Auntie Tong's body has improved a lot these days
She can definitely take care of herself on the journey home
It's just that she's gotten old
and I can't be by her side to protect her
and in the end I have to make her stay by herself in Qing Chuan
There's Ru Qin to be with her
It's definitely better there than here at Qing Yu Clan
That's true
Without her here,
I can relax a little bit more
With Auntie Tong going back
you can focus here
and help Chief make the longevity pill
In the future when you are successful in making it, you can not only extend Auntie Tong's life,
The two of us can also
be together forever, never to be separated
Why don't a dance for you?
Ah Xiang, go look for Qian Shang!
Susu, don't worry. Shao Gong and the others are fine.
Brother Luo!
Looks like my medicine has made some results. You can move around by yourself now.
Thank you for your care these past days
My injury has already mostly healed
No need to thank me. It doesn't count as much of any care.
It's just brewing some medicine. If we were to talk about working hard,
Miss Qing Xue takes care of you all day.
She's the one who's working hardest
I never thought that the human world would have such effective medicine
You count as half a savior
This medicine can push down the demonic energy inside of you
Don't think that you can move around easily now
You musn't use magic
Or else you would destroy all the progress you made before
Brother Luo, your medicinal skills are so good.
Can you tell me the recipe?
This medicine is something I found by chance in the mountain about 100 miles from here
The soil, environment, and location are all different
their differences are really large
So I'm afraid it'll be very hard for you to find it
How complicated! How come you were looking for medicine so far away?
You don't know I suppose. Our village
has poor soil and is hard to make a living
Let alone herbal medical ingredients.
Then in the future if Susu's murderous energy comes up again,
what should we do?
External medical attention is only temporary relief.
Relying on medicinal soups is not a long term solution
In the future,
we can only rely on Brother Tusu to control himself
I will try my best to control myself. I also don't want
to bring trouble to anyone
Auntie Tong? Auntie Tong!
Hurry and go find Tusu, and bring him to Jiang Du.
Ah Xiang, I'm depending on you.
Aiya, you almost scared me to death! What's wrong with you?
There's a scorpion over there!
If a stupid scorpion can make you this scared are you really a man?
How am I not a man?
Even thought I am not as outstanding as TuSu, but I am still from a noble family.
Then why are you spewing so much nonsense?
Hurry and look for medicinal herbs
But hasn't Tusu recovered already?
I don't think this murderous aura of his is actually as serious as you guys say
What do you understand?
Do you know how hard it is on Tusu gege?
I'll tell you, if you don't wanna look for herbs then I will by myself
I'll look! But,
it was here that we found rouzhi last time
It doesn't look like it is..
That place seemed to be much farther away
Plus there was lots of vegetation
-But here... -Then what are we doing here looking for medicinal herbs?
Look at this place, filled with soil and barren everywhere! It's just like a desert
There's not even a high growing tree!
Don't even mention any medicinal herbs
If that was that thousand year old rouzhi, and had to grow here for a thousand years,
I would've killed myself ages ago!
That's true too. Then where should we go to help Tusu gege get medicine?
It's up to you
We'll do whatever you say
Yin Pien, this situation,
we don't have any opinion about it. We'll just listen to you
That's right, we'll listen to you
That's right. If you say to go then we'll leave with you
If you say we shouldn't go, we'll all stay
That's right(x7)
Based on the environment here, it's been long since there's been a way to live here
Everyone's getting older
You should go find a calm place to live out your days
Okay. Whichever village you go to,
we'll go there too
Yeah yeah, we'll all come with you
I can't go
This place is my childhood home
I definitely cannot leave here
But all of you elder's ages are getting older
Moving around isn't convenient, so you'll need someone to look after you
I'm still young
Let's decide it like that then. You guys can all go, don't worry about me
That isn't good
Please leave everyone
What's happened big brother?
We were just discussing the issue of leaving the village
Leaving the village?
Yes, our village's water source has completely dried up
The soil is no longer fertile, so making a living is a big problem
So, our only choice is to empty the village
But doesn't this village use well water? How could the water all dry up?
We also don't know how it became like this
You guys don't know. Eighteen years ago,
our village was full of water and we all lived well
But we don't know why, in these recent years
all the well water has dried up, and we cannot find another source
Living has become a big problem
Could it be that another village nearby has a grudge with you guys,
and diverted all the water away?
Not possible. All the other villages are at peace with us
Besides, I've already done a thorough investigation
The water flow has no sign of being tampered with
That's weird..
But, don't worry!
Everyone don't worry. There's...
There's us. We'll find out the problem. Don't worry.
Thank you. Thank you.
Here we cannot get news from Tian Yong City
I don't know how Senior Brother's injuries are
It's probably better if we can't get news from them
Or else that Ling Duan will come running over again
Right now my cultivation isn't enough, so I can't protect you
I think, it's more like I'm protecting you
No way! Did you forget what Brother Luo said? You cannot tap into your inner energy
It was very hard to get my life back. I'll be careful. I remember.
This time, it's really thanks to Brother Luo for saving my life
I really don't know how to thank him
Don't worry, good people get good things
You are saying...?
I'm just saying that someone already thanked him in your place
It's Xiang Ling and Lan Sheng. They've already gone to help the villagers solve the water problem.
Ling Yue
You've been injured severly by the wolf demon.
Temporarily put down the matters of Tian Yong City
Just peacefully nurse your injuries
Yes
Come to think of it
Baili Tusu, isn't a person who can't tell right from wrong
gets conflicted in his heart and harms his fellow disciples
This point about him, you are right
This time if it wasn't for Junior brother Tusu,
Don't even mention us disciples,
Tie Ju Guan and all it's people will also not have escaped
You are right
I also never thought, that Baili Tusu
would have this level of cultivation and power
Not only to you all,
even if it's to Ling Duan and Ling Chuan who usually argue with him
he also does things the same way
Right now even for them, he can also give up his own life
At the moment between life and death, that he can do things like that
Head Reverend, how could he harm his fellow disciple?
Zhao Lin's death,
please investigate it clearly
What's there to investigate?
He's clearly a demon!
He not only killed Zhao Lin
but also almost got us killed too!
Protecting us?
I think he and that wolf demon were one team!
Your disciple thinks, that Tusu is inherently kind
and definitely won't hurt Zhao Lin
Three years ago, the sword's murderous aura once controlled him
It could be the same as last time
But everytime Tusu's murderous aura comes up,
he's not entirely lost
Even though he injured me last time, he knows very clearly
what exactly happened
He said to me, that Zhao Lin's death
should have been done by the Masked Man
Masked Man, Masked Man
No matter what he does wrong,
he pushes the blame completely off himself!
Could it be that this time,
the Sword of Burning Solitude is the target again?
Tusu said, that that night at the Sword Pavilion he saw the Masked Man
then he fought with him outside of the pavilion
After he returned, Zhao Lin was dead
I think, when the Masked Man tried to steal the sword, he killed Zhao Lin
Looks like this case of stealing the sword has too many twists
How are Tusu's injuries right now?
Before I left he was doing okay
Your disciple asks Head Reverend
to hurry and go down the mountain to protect Tusu
You can't. Ling Yue,
your own injuries aren't even healed yet. How can you go down the mountain?
Head Reverend. You cannot just let go of Tusu like this!
He not only harmed people everywhere he goes
he'll also destroy our Tian Yong City's good name!
You shut up!
You went and lit the fire at Tie Ju Guan
Created a huge mess and hurt lives as well
You are not only not repentent
But repeatedly slander your fellow disciples!
I haven't even brought this against you yet, and you still do not know you are wrong
Okay, this month, I will send you
to the cold water cave to copy out books
-and ponder over your wrongs! Master!
Leave now!
I'm really okay. I've made you worry
You almost lost your life. Such a serious injury and you still don't want to tend to it
If anything happens to you
what should I do?
Fuqu
If one day, I leave Tian Yong City
You must take care of yourself well, okay?
Eldest Senior Brother, what do you mean by that?
If you aren't at Tian Yong City where do you want to go?
I just mean
If like Tusu, I leave Tian Yong City-
You can't.
I've never thought of what would happen if you left Tian Yong City
Is it that now that you've gone down the mountain like Tusu,
you've been entranced by the wonders of the human world and think Tian Yong City is bland and boring
and will never return again?
Don't think the wrong way
As long as Teacher hasn't left his retreat,
I still have responsibilities here. I won't just up and leave.
I was just thinking a little bit
Scared me to death
I really thought you were going to leave
But, where did that thought suddenly come from?
This time I stepped on the line between life and death
I suddenly thought of a time long in the past
things I'd forgotten
If I lived I want to find my lost loved ones and live with them
So Senior Elder Brother was missing his family?
If you find your family members,
you can bring them here
Fang Lan Sheng! Is it you who said you've read lots of books? (meaning he is very intelligent)
-That's right! -And know both the heavens and the earth?
-Right! -Right right right, what right are you talking about?
We've looked for half a day and have you even seen a drop of water?
And that buried in the ground thing, where is it?
If anyone could see and find it,
Then everyone could be an expert on the winds and water right?
I don't want to hear you talk!
I tell you, if you don't find anything today, don't even think about leaving
Besides, I don't want to leave
If what you, Xiang Ling has told me to do hasn't been done properly,
would I dare leave?
That sounds about right. I'll tell you,
if you still can't find it, I'll give you a big bug to eat!
No no. I will make big brother capture lots of bugs back
and make them eat you!
Big brother? Then you are talking about Brother Luo.
Brother Luo is at the mountain top temple
Let's go look for him. I have lots of things to ask him
If you want Tusu to leave with you, then he has to go? If you say it's for his own good then he should be grateful?
Look at him. That bitter melon face,
being his senior brother, can't you see
that he doesn't want to leave with you at all?
Lan Sheng is young and doesn't understand many things
and has always wanted to leave home to become an immortal
But our Fang Family passes down our trade to the heir only
we only have him as heir
After mother and father left to become immortals, all hopes fell on Lan Sheng
As his sister, I hope to see him inherit the family business and make it bloom
Young hero, our family has no fate with immortals
and I hope you can stop giving Lan Sheng false hopes
That's weird.
This place's vegetation is very lush
Then below ground there must be water
That's why I think it's weird!
There's no water at the top or bottom of the mountain
Why would there be water in the middle of the mountain?
Look how health the woods and vegetation.
What are you smelling?
I just feel like there's something off
-Xiang Ling. Lan Sheng. -Brother Luo!
Brother Luo(2x)
-What are you two doing here? -Looking for you
-Looking for me? -That's right. Brother Luo,
I want to ask you, did this village have underground water before?
-No -No?
But I can see that the vegetation here is very lush
Also, I have the feeling that there's water below this mountaintop temple
Impossible. I've dug here before, there isn't water
Dug before?
Then maybe that would change the course of the underground water
How about we do this? We'll move this temple over
Then find the most appropriate place and dig in the soil for a look okay?
No way. This is a temple, how can you simply dig as you wish?
But didn't you just say that you've dug here before?
How come we can't dig now?
Big dummy. If Brother Luo says we can't dig, then you can't
Besides, how can we move the temple away?
That's right. -Oh.
Water flow down hill.
Since there is actually water near the temple at the top of the mountain,
But why is the lower plains
do not have any vegetation?
Could the water have flow away from an underground river?
What is so scary on a bright sunny day?
So many green vines.
There must be water here.
Jade Ornament.
Why is there a Jade Ornament here?
And it looks just like the one that Shao Gong has.
So big.
Why is there some many skeletal remains?
HELP!!!
What is this? Ah!!!!
Help! Help! Help me!
Let me go! Save me!
Hey! Hey! Is there anybody?
Who can come and help me??
Let me down!
Where is Dumb Squash go?
Did something happened to him?
Xiang Ling, what are you doing here?
Big Brother, have you seen Lan Sheng?
No, wasn't he with you the whole time?
Yes. But I don't know when he was gone.
Gone? Could he have left Gan Chun Village?
That's not possible. He won't have left me alone.
And leave here (by himself).
Maybe he went to look for the water source.
Could he have run into some sort of monster?
Oh no, could something have happened to him?
Don't get anxious. I will help you find him.
Alright then. I will tell TuSu and Qing Xue.
Don't do that. They have not recover.
Don't let them worry with us.
Maybe Lan Sheng lost his way.
Let us go find him.
Lan Sheng, where are you?
Lan Sheng!
-Fang Lan Sheng! -Lan Sheng!
Lan Sheng!
Let's take a look over there. -Lan Sheng!
Lan Sheng!
Lan Sheng!
Help! Help me!
Who can come help me!
Big Brother, it seems like Lan Sheng is over here.
Hurry! Help me!
Let me go! Save me!
Big Brother listen.
Help me! -There's nothing. It's just an echo from the cave. It's the sound of the wind.
No, I won't get his voice wrong.
Is there anyone here?
Lan Sheng?
Fang Lan Sheng!
Like I've already said. He is not here.
Let's go somewhere to find him.
Wait a minute.
Big Brother, there seems to have demonic aura in there.
You go out first. I'll go in and take a look.
Big Brother run quickly!
Big Brother run quickly!
Xiang Ling? Who did you came with?
Me? I came to look for you!
I came with Big Brother.
Big Brother?
Big Brother, help me!
You came with him. How come nothing happen to him?
Hurry, help me!
Hey, you are and the vine demon are together aren't you?
You vile scoundrel!
This is your evil scheme, isn't it! -It's not possible!
He, he came with me to search for you!
Xiang Ling, are you crazy? Why are you speaking for him?
Stop struggling! You won't be able to leave here.
Are you a human or a demon?
It doesn't matter if I am a human or a demon.
Don't worry. I won't kill you.
Fart! You are a low and shameless scoundrel!
Whatever you want to do or kill, do it toward me! Let Xiang Ling go!
I don't want to lie to you.
and I won't harm you.
Let the vine demon absorb some spiritual aura.
Spiritual aura?
Wait until TuSu and Qing Xue leave,
and I will let you go.
Hey! Let us go right now!
That's right! Where are you going? -Hey, come back!
-Hey! -You come back! Come back!
Hey!
TuSu defeated wolf demon with the murderous aura of the Sword of Burning Solitude.
Since the murderous aura can help him at the battle with the wolf demon,
but he got effected by the wolf demon's inner force pill
I'm afraid his situation will be worse than before.
If TuSu and the Sword of Burning Solitude can return to Tian Yong City,
the Reverend Leader and and Master could have some method.
But now..
With TuSu's injuries at that time, there is no way he could return to Tian Yong City.
And I don't have the heart. So, I could only let him stay in Tin Zhu Quan.
Didn't you said that Qing Xue's YouDu magical arts
can restrain the murderous aura?
Qing Xue, because she tried to save TuSu,
she wasted a lot of her energy (strength).
I'm afraid if TuSu has another episode
it would be hard for Qing Xue to control him.
You are saying
if the masked man appears again
TuSu would be in danger.
That is what I worried the most about.
I need to go down the mountain. -You are a swordsman, you need to guard the sword building.
Master wanted to me to guard the sword building because he wanted to me to guard the Sword of Burning Solitude.
Now the Sword of Burning Solitude is not here.
If I use the reason to find the Sword of Burning Solitude to find the whereabouts of TuSu,
then it's not disobeying the command.
If he really ran into a life threatening situation down the mountain,
then I would really have fail my duty.
Then we will bother you.
It's not a bother.
Just that, the side of Reverend Leader,
Don't worry, I will take care of that.
Looks like Shao Gong did not know about the news of Aunt Tong's injuries.
Aunt Tong got injured?
Looks like an ambush from he Qing Yun Tan disciples.
Looks like a stab wound.
Shao Gong is now in Qing Yun Tan. I'm afraid he is also in danger.
Time is of essence. We should leave here quickly.
But your health.
Right now, the most important is Shao Gong.
That's right. We have to tell Lan Sheng and Xiang Ling.
To speak of it. I haven't seen them since yesterday.
And I don't know where they went to.
TuSu brother. -Big Brother Lor.
Have you seen Lan Sheng and Xiang Ling in the past couple of days?
Looks like they've went to the other side of the mountain to play.
They will be back in a few days.
Xiang Ling, stop struggling.
It will get tighter.
Why is it nothing happen to you?
That's right...How come I'm ok?
Oh, it must be my Green Jade of the South.
Not good, if this continues
Xiang Ling will not be able to withstand it.
Xiang Ling
What about you? -Don't worry! I'm okay!
You will die if that continues.
You even gave me the jade ornament.
I...
Don't worry about me!
Xiang Ling, how come you won't run?
I won't go. Did you say that you won't leave me?
I wont go!
Big Brother Lor, Qing Xue and I have something and need to return to Jiang Du.
If you see Lan Sheng and Xiang Ling, please tell them.
Since you have things to do and your health is better
then I won't keep you.
Remember, take care of yourself from now on.
If we are fated, we will see again. I will definitely come back to visit you.
Good-bye. -Take care.
Ah Xiang?
Something must have happened.
Let's go.
Ah Xiang has stop.
There is demonic aura.
TuSu, you've got it wrong, right?
How could there be demonic aura here. This a temple. It's been here to protect us for several hundred years.
This is our blessed land.
Brother Lor, is there some sort of under ground tunnel or something like that?
When we tried to find the water source in the past
we did found a cave.
But I don't know if that could lead to the temple's underground.
