The soul that lies dust-laden among the stars, the sun and the moon
Awakens the helplessness of a delirious nightmare.
Uncovering this destiny's thread of events,
cannot escape this lifetime of loneliness.
Behind lies gloomy haze,
before lies a mountain pass.
Even if I want to escape, there is no running away.
But regardless of how fate governs my life,
my persistent heart won't change.
No matter how much time passes and how much the world changes.
Listening to the forlorn sound of the guqin, can't forget what should be forgotten.
Mortal relations entrap my youth.
Forgive the clear arrogance I've hidden in my heart.
go forth into battle and face the vastness, mightiness of the earth and heaven.
Life is also desolate
deeply attracted, like a roaring blaze burning.
The past, watch as I walk once through the ups and downs.
Using the cold blade edge and the guqin's solitude, write the events of the past and of today.
the lonely sword against my fingertip, speak and laugh easily.
Episode 7
The world has many troubles
Hardship and loneliness of life and death
How high can one fly
How far until dawn?
Suffering in illusions
Yunxi!... Yunxi!
Han Yunxi!
I'm waiting for you to embrace me
Han Yunxi.
Feng Qingxue.
Sadness doesn't speak
and my tears have evaporated But that's alright
Let the rain wash down
the memories of sand
So I can be carefree
and wander to the horizon
Despite the time dying your hair white
and the years scratching my skin
the myth of the sword unsheathing
blood during germination
Is it because I practised it incorrectly?
This should be a spell to control the evil aura...
Hey!
Han Yunxi is the one who's being locked up in Tian Yong City, not you.
Since you came back from Tian Yong City, you are like a changed person.
Every single day, you will either practice spells or learn the secret arts of Youdu.
It has been three years!
You haven't gave up yet?
Hey!
But I've already found the spell to control the evil aura.
I believe that if I practice hard, I will surely...
Back then, so many Elders
and Granny cannot purge him of evil aura from the Sword of Burning Solitude, even with Reverend Ziyin's help.
Now, there's only you.
No matter how much you practice, it's useless.
But I won't know unless I learn it.
So long I can help him get rid of the evil aura,
I will be able to go see Yunxi.
I cannot wait for too long.
Qingxue, can you please wake up?
Brother Guangmo is no longer here.
You are our guardian, the future leader of Youdu.
You cannot just think about Han Yunxi!
I know my duties.
I am very sober too.
I will be a good guardian.
But I want to help Yunxi get rid of the evil aura first.
He will be able to...
What if it cannot be gotten rid of?
What if he was controlled by the Sword of Burning Solitude?
What if he dies?
That's why I need to practice harder.
Huanhuan, you didn't see him so you don't know.
When I saw him again,
although he became quite different from when he was young,
neither smiling nor talking a lot,
nor did he recognize me,
he still risked his life to save me.
How would such a kind person like him be controlled by the Sword of Burning Solitude?
Alright, don't disturb me.
Alright, alright. You just continue.
Keep elements as one
Absorb the pure air
Surpress the evil aura
What happened?
You wounded yourself to suppress the evil aura again?
Sister Hong searched the world help me find this spiritual iron
According to what master said
the is the scabbard that was made out of pure yang fire
This could help you control the sword
and it will isolate the sword from the world,
so others will not detect it easily.
Try it out
Senior brother, I...
Try it out.
Head Reverend
Tusu has been locked up for three years already
During the three years
he has been quietly practicing
He can control himself
and not get controlled by the sword
The scabbard could also help him stop the evil aura
Master is almost coming out
Ling Yue dares to ask you
if you can let him out
Yes Dad, didn't you say you were only locking him for three years?
Now it's time
why aren't you letting him out?
Fuqu, don't interupt
It's not your problem
Dad
How old is Tusu?
He's just my age
Usually at this age he should be learning with other disciples
But look at him how
there's not even anyone to talk to
I went to see him last night
He is quiet
and almost looks as if he can't talk
He is still young
It's not good for his cultivation
When he gets out, I will watch him
If anything happens, i will send him back
Yes Dad, just let him out
I will watch him with Senior Brother
Telling me to lock him up is you guys
now asking me to let him out are you guys too
This matter has to get solved either way
I was thinking about waiting until your master comes out
and then talking about it with him
But since you are asked
then fine,
let him out of there
Thank you Head Reverend
Wait
Regarding this situation you have to promise me three things.
Please tell me what it is.
First
You have to take care of Tusu
Secondly
do not stir up more troubles with his fellow brothers.
And thirdly
If anything happens to Tusu, bring him back immediately
Yes.
Fuqu personally cooked for you...
...in order to welcome you back
You're in luck
2nd Senior Brother
Tusu has completed him solitude training
He's the same as the other students here
When did they release this monster out
Tusu, you returned.
Has it been hard for you?
My dad didn't allow anyone else but Senior brother to visit you
or else I would have visited you earlier
I really missed you.
That cheap mongrel
Look at that freak, second senior brother
What's with that attitude when Fuqu's so good to him?
You've lost weight, Tusu
These are the dishes I've made. Try it.
My sword skills have improved a lot these pass few years
In addition to that, I've also learned cooking
Aren't I virtuous?
Virtuous indeed
Sister, seems like you shouldn't sword train anymore
Just be a cook
So what if I like to be a cook? So what if...
I like cooking for Tusu
What about it? Jealous?
Then you can go out and sword train
It should be time for lessons with everyone else at this hour
Do not let the Reverend wait
Yes, Senior brother. Let's go.
Let's go sword training.
Let's go...
Tusu, don't mind him.
Just go on and eat, okay.
How long have you not eaten fully.
Eat slowly.
If it's not enough, I can make more.
Senior brother, taste this.
Okay, thank you.
I just couldn't believe they'd let that creature out so early.
What's strange?
He has Reverend Ziyin and senior brother's support
What can the Head Reverend do to him?
Besides, Fuqu is also siding with him
Fu Qu?
What about Fu Qi?
Second brother don't know?
What am I supposed to know?
I misheard Elder of Literary Arts talking about...
...marrying Fuqu to the next head of school
You made that up, didn't you?
How could people who cultivate immortality get married?
Not everyone among the hundreds of students in Tian Yong City are cultivating immortality
There are also some learners of sword arts and martial arts
Didn't the fifth disciple of the Elder of Discipline...
...just got a wife and has a child not long ago?
That's true
So whoever gets Fu Qu will be the next head of school?
That's for sure!
You didn't see that?
Sister Fu Qu has been learning culinary and needlework lately
I bet she's expecting to get married soon
Tusu? No way
What has he got to be the head of school?
He's way behind our second senior brother
Aren't I right, second brother?
That's right! He's not even good enough for Fu Qu
Could it be that Fu Qu likes Tusu?
That's why Tusu was released after Fu Qu pleaded with Head Reverend
It's possible.
I also heard that Tusu's confinement is an act of favouritism by Reverend Ziyin
...so that Tusu could learn the secret sword skills of our sect
That's why it has taken him three years
Three years?
Once he mastered those secret skills,
he'll be able to marry Fu Qu and become the head of school, wouldn't that be...
Enough!
Don't get angry, I can help you.
Is everyone okay?
Eyeing the direction you pointed,
I traverse across and wander towards it
The clear memories from a distant past
could not be wiped out till now
Ah Xiang, do you think Shaogong and Qing Xue...
...will return to Tian Yong City?
Shaogong must still be busy searching for a way to revive the dead
Qing xue.
Senior brother said that she's the Guardian of Youdu
Most probably she'll never come here again
Ah Xiang, if we can't leave Tian Yong City,
Is it that
I won't meet them anymore?
Looking far back in time when we were young and fervent
Embracing a dream, overcoming the darkness
Looking afar in search of paradise
I will fly along with you
Open the furnace
You bring these medicine to Xing Hua Village immediately to cure the plague
Yes.
It is been many days that I haven't seen you,
Shaogong's medical skill has become more remarkable
You're flattering me
Since you're done making medicine for the villagers,
it should be my turn now
Shengyun Elixir to boost my strength
When can you produce it?
It will take some more days
I have yet to think it over
Haven't think it through yet?
Or you never wanted to produce it in the first place?
Producing the elixir of longevity is never easy
Even the best apothecaries working for the Qin Emperor...
...could not produce it in his entire lifetime
let alone Shaogong
Please wait patiently
What rotten luck to be at that Shaogong's beck and call!
I was told that I've added too much herbs and the next second, too little of them
Has he had enough?
Forget it
He's regarded highly by Chief
Not long after he came, he's already been promoted as an Elder
It's just medicine making
what's the big deal?
Everyone is praising him
Do not belittle him
I heard that the elixirs he made not only could improve your cultivation
but it also could revive the dead
Revive the dead!
I bet it's just reviving those on the brink of death
In this world, who can revive a dead person?
You aren't doing your work
but are talking behind the Elder's back
Don't tell me, you want to see me report this to Chief?
Su Jin, we...
we were just joking
This won't happen again
Why are you still standing here then? Go
Yes (x2)
She's just a servant
What's with the haughtiness?
What do you understand.
She used to work for Chief
But since Elder Ouyang arrival at Qing Yu Sect,
she was sent to serve Elder Ouyang
In that case, is she working for the Chief
...or Elder Ouyang?
What a lovely-smelling tea.
It's a token specifically from the folks down the mountain...
...to thank you for saving their lives
From now on reject them.
Yes.
Lei Yan is a greedy man.
Before this, he wanted me to make elixirs of longevity
Now he wants me to produce elixirs to boost his strength
I couldn't make those now
Even if I can,
I would never give it to greedy people like him
Birth, old age, illness and death are all natural law
Do your best and just leave the rest to God's will
What's God's will?
I, Ouyang Shaogong...
...never believe in God's will
I've mended that robe of yours
It's in the wardrobe
Aunt Tong, you're in poor health
Let Su Jin do all these chores in the future
But I am usually the one to take care of you
She's sent here by the Chief
How can I trouble her so much?
What do you mean by that, Aunt Tong?
You mean...
I used to serve Chief
so now I couldn't serve Mr. Ouyang well?
Of course not
Aunt Tong has been taking care of Mr. Ouyang for several years
Surely Su Jin is incomparable
But Su Jin's dedication towards Mr. Ouyang
is as caring and devoted as you
What is this, Su Jin?
Mr. Ouyang has a long day of work
This is herbal soup Su Jin cooked using the best lingzhi and ginseng
Please try
Thank you
Please don't stand on ceremony with me
It's my pleasure to serve you
From now on, just let me know if you need anything
Chief, I didn't find anything strange about Elder Ouyang these days
I didn't find anything about the secret to the production of elixir of longevity either
I don't think it's a news Chief will be happy about
Tell me, Su Jin
Why do I want you to serve Ouyang Shaogong?
It's to discover his secret
...the secret to the making of elixir of longevity
What now?
It's been so long and yet your reports are all the same
What's the use of me...
...keeping you here?
I thought you'll tell me that...
...you've fallen for Ouyang Shaogong
...till you've forgotten your duty
Why? You want to give up everything for him?
Su Jin won't
It's because Mr. Ouyang is normally busy reading ancient books,
making medicine...
...or studying illnessess and diseases
As for the making of the elixir of longevity...
he's never touched on that
If he doesn't touch on it,
can't you observe when you're by his side
I may be serving Mr. Ouyang,
but Ji Tong is always with him
I can't get close to him
You can't even handle an old woman?
Ji Tong has been serving Mr. Ouyang for years
not to say that she's been regarded as his family
Otherwise, an old and ugly woman like her
...will never be kept by Mr. Ouyang's side
But rest assured
Su Jin will certainly find a way to get his trust
What idea do you have?
Mr. Ouyang is a devoted man
He still couldn't let go of his lover who has died
If I could replace her,
I'm sure I could work well for Chief
You look confident
Mr. Ouyang is a man after all
Besides, he has never rejected me so far
It's only a matter of time...
...before I get to his heart
I still have this bit of confidence
Looks like Su Jin
is also a passionate woman
In that case, I shall..
wait for your good news
Love
Is it full of temptation?
Does it make people become silent?
Does it hide in a corner in your heart?
I, don't dare to speak it randomly
Don't dare to touch it in a rush.
Don't dare to blame you of being cold.
Afraid of the flowers falling
Afraid of the rain dropping; Xun Fang,
Afraid of the bamboo pavillion.
Am I dreaming?
Someone is waiting for me.
It's not wrong at all for us to love someone.
Xun Fang, just going the different way.
I just knew you would look for me.
I just knew (x2)
Can't hold you tightly again
Please let me hold you for one more second.
It is not wrong at all for us to love somebody.
Just I can't accompany you until the end of our life.
If my broken heart
can be understood by nobody in the world
I'll never regret falling in love with someone.
Love
Is it full of temptation?
Does it make people become silent?
Does it hide in a corner in your heart?
I don't dare to speak it randomly.
Don't dare to touch it in a rush.
Don't dare to blame you of being cold.
Afraid of flowers falling.
Afraid of rain dropping.
You come back because you want to listen to me play this tune, right?
I know
You always liked this song
From now on I will play it everyday for you.
Just turning a different side..
Xun Fang,
Let us never be seperate, okay?
I just want to
be with you in all generations.
Let me hold you for one more second.
It's not wrong at all for us to love somebody.
Xun Fang, don't cry.
Don't cry.
I won't let you cry any more for me.
Why is it you?
Childe, Su Jin
Su Jin just wants to be with you.
Don't come near me!
Leave!
This... is it the scales of Candle Dragon?
Been looking for you for so long, didn't think you'll be at Ching Yui Tong
Shao Gong is such a gentleman,
it's very normal for a beauty to like him.
There's no need to be angry.
Sorry for letting you feel ridiculous.
You're so mean, so mean...
didn't ask me to drink with you.
Shao Gong, you're being more and more mean.
Next time I'll host you to let you have a wild drink.
The empty life is just like a dream.
Why do you get yourself stuck in it?
Just being drunk for one time then everything will be gone.
This is good wine
Try some.
Even if you drink your troubles don't go away
It's such a pleasure to meet an old friend.
It's better to be clear-minded
Yes, clear-minded is good.
Long time no see.
That's your reason to find me in the middle of the night?
I guess you're not aiming at recalling our friendship and drinking with me, aren't you?
What have you heard?
Smart, you're so smart!
You even don't give me any chance to keep you guessing.
There's a news indeed,
which can make you awake.
I've been travelling around these years,
until recently I've heard of that
Yu Heng appeared again
Yu Heng?
The treasure which can attract spirit to come to your inner body?
That's great. Where is it?
That...
That for now is uncertain.
But the rumors originated from Chang ***.
I believe you'll find what you're seeking there.
Okay, good, now Xun Fang...
I'll order Ji Tong to get my package now and leave Qing Yu Altar.
By then let's meet in the bower behind the mountain.
No need to rush.
This time we'll definitely find it.
Slowly, auntie Tong.
I'm fine.
Young master, auntie Tong.
Where are you going?
Tell them I need to leave.
I feel so grateful that he took me in for 3 years, let's meet again some day.
Is it because of what happened the day before?
Don't leave.
I know I'm wrong
I won't bother you again.
Sir.
I'm not leaving because of you.
Qing (the instrument) is already broken.
Even if you fixed it perfectly
It won't be the original sound.
Same for a person.
Go back
take care of yourself.
Have this scales of Candle Dragon.
You'll return to me eventually.
Tusu, Tusu. Stop for a sec.
Look what I brought you.
These are hot Baozi, please have them now.
No thanks.
I'm learning the internal martial arts with my senior brother.
I abstain from meat dishes.
Thank you.
I just thought that you've been locked up for so long and didn't get anything delicious to eat.
I deliberately ran down the mountain to buy these Baozi for you.
Down the mountain?
Yes, it was hard work for me.
You and Senior brother won't eat it
It looks like I am bullying you.
These 3 years
I am grateful that Senior brother and you have taken care of Ah Xiang.
Silly, no need to thank me
Ah Xiang is really smart
He does his own thing, I just bring him food sometimes.
I remember when you first found him
He was only so small
Time passed so fast, everyone has grown.
I liked it when we were younger
Senior brother said when you're older
You're able to do more.
To take care of your friends.
The more you can do, the more responsibilities.
Prefer to be small when we're all carefree
Senior brother said it is not like that.
Senior brother said this, senior brother said that
You only remember Senior Brother
Senior brother is only nice to you
He's becoming harsh to me and the other students
He's either busy with learning how to be an immortal and practising swordplay usually,
or dealing with the affairs of Tian Yong City.
It's rare to see him and even rarer to speak with him.
You've grown up
but you talk less and less.
Don't be alone and isolated in the future.
Don't be so quiet
Even quiet, he is annoying.
I think
he's better off not talking
Don't you have anything to do
Sweep the ground if you don't practise kung fu.
Why are you always against Tusu?
I wouldn't dare disagree with him.
He's Reverend's great disciple
Senior brother's precious little brother
And your..Fine, your good classmate
What are you trying to say?
Nothing.
I just don't want a grain of mouse ***
to spoil a whole pan of porridge.
Some people
Being so shameless to stay in Tian Yong City.
and hurting the others
I'm afraid he doesn't have a correct self-assesment,
so I remind him a little bit.
You're so extreme, Ling Duan.
My Younger Brother, Tusu
Why leaving in all of a sudden?
Anyway,
I'm your 2rd Senior Brother.
You're so silent and arrogant,
do the Reverend Zi Yin and the Senior Brother
teach you like this?
Ling Duan, what are you trying to do?
I am only fulfilling my responsibilities as Senior brother.
I almost forgot
Reverend and Senior brother
treat him so well
but in the end
made your Master get hurt and did reclusive training for many years
and almost killed senior brother
they couldn't teach him
how can I do anything?
are you done talking?
Tusu, ignore him. Let's go.
Fu Qi, don't be so ignorant.
Is he a normal person?
You leave with him?
He is just a crazy monster.
doesn't recognize any relatives when he's in the wicked status.
Have you forgotten how Senior brother was injured?
If it wasn't for Reverend's aid
Senior brother wouldn't be here anymore
Fu Qi
I'm really worried
When this monster will go crazy and hurt you
Tusu
Calling won't help
I'm telling you
Just because you look human, you're still a monster
I have heard that
When the Reverend Zi Yin brought you to the mountain,
all the people around had died.
Who knows if it was your doing?
So annoying
Tusu, let's go.
You're trying to be so poor after hurting somone,
so good at fooling others.
No wonder that you have killed that many people.
I must not let the evil aura control me
I'm not a monster. I'm not!
Tusu, what happened? I don't know.
Let me see.
Your evil aura has increased dramatically
Fu Qi told me earlier than Ling Duan bothered you again
Did the evil aura feed on your emotions?
I thought if I trained I can forget
Yet, who knows that I suddenly have the thought...
the evil aura...
Senior brother, I'm sorry.
Don't apologize.
It's just because the evil aura in your body is stronger than I imagine.
The Master said your evil aura will increase as your level goes up.
meanwhile the seal in your body
will decrease as the time goes.
Due to the hatry in your heart,
you'll be exploited by Burning Solitude.
I don't want to be exploited by Burning Solitude too.
I don't want...
I just hope that the Master can come out as soon as possible.
to strengthen your seal.
Even the Master comes out
I don't want him to waster his energy thanks to me
I just want to...
Don't forget what the Master said,
you should eliminate your distracting thoughts.
Don't be influenced by Burning Solitude.
and lost your true heart.
Elder Sister Hong Yu,
I've asked the permisson of Head Reverend to go to You Du.
I think,
Tusu has just left the forbidden area.
You'd better not leave.
The Three Years' appointment is approaching the deadline.
Tian Yong City must give a reply to You Du.
And Tusu,
though he's practising hard, still get influenced by evil aura..
I want to find Qing Xue
hopefully she can lend a hand.
Are you bringing Tusu together for looking for her?
Nope, I'm gonna persuade her.
Let she come back with me.
The Master said,
Qing Xue once cured Tusu's injury
She took great care of Tusu when she visited Tian Yong City last time.
I can see that,
she didn't do that because of Burning Solitude.
so I think she'll offer the help.
to suppress the evil aura in Tusu's body
Okay, whatever the result is,
remember: go quickly and return soon.
When I'm away, all the affairs need your attention, Senior Sister Hong Yu.
Don't worry about it.
Just say the farewell here.
Senior Brother, please return earlier.
Don't stay too long in You Du.
The sword tassel will affect my draw of the sword,
It is inconvenient.
yet Reverend Zi Yin has a tie wire sword tassel too.
The Reverend is the Reverendr, me is me.
It's different.
Fu Qu, you don't practise swordplay hard usually
why always be bothered with these tiny stuffs?
Learn more from Tusu, put your heart in the cultivation.
Tusu
the rules you've promised to obey with the Head Reverend.
You must memorize it.
Senior you must be careful.
Fu Qu, you're so lazy in practising swordplay usually
why always be bothered with these tiny stuffs?
Learn more from Tusu.
Don't always waste your time on things which are not related to the cultivation.
Junior Brother Tusu, it is said that you've trained for three years behind the mountain.
and got the essence of Reverend Zi Yin's skill
You must get far with your kung fu in these 3 years.
Come on, have a fight with me.
What? You look down upon me?
Since you look down upon me,
don't blame me for being ruthless
Fell in love with the quietly flowing river of stars that fill the sky
as if a dream has covered itself in soft flowing robes
moist eyes cannot hold back the sorrow that stirs in my heart
In this moment, I should be leaning on your shoulder.
I still remember your simple and innocent appearance in the beginning
But now you've experienced the vicissitudes of life
Even if I'll get hurt, I'm still willing to forever
Wait at your side like this.
Look into the distance, in the direction in which you pointed
We went there to climb, to wander
In the distance, those clear bright times
Even now they are unforgettable.
Look into the distance, we were once impetuous in our youth
Nursing our dreams, we traversed the vast land
We searched for the heaven of love in distant places
I went flying with you.
Bravely fly into the distance.
