[Episode 10]

3
00:01:55,000 --> 00:01:55,860
"Little Deer"?

4
00:01:56,509 --> 00:01:58,240
You mean Lu Shu, the deer demon?

5
00:01:58,479 --> 00:01:59,789
Did he...

6
00:02:00,430 --> 00:02:01,890
come from Xishu a year ago?

7
00:02:03,200 --> 00:02:03,760
Yes.

8
00:02:05,790 --> 00:02:06,720
He's been lying.

9
00:02:08,080 --> 00:02:09,680
The forests in Xishu have withered,

10
00:02:09,680 --> 00:02:12,540
so all the deer demons
have already left that place.

11
00:02:14,430 --> 00:02:16,890
I'll send someone to
trace his whereabouts.

12
00:02:22,630 --> 00:02:24,690
Soldier, I want to ask you something.

13
00:02:25,520 --> 00:02:27,920
If we can find
the true culprit behind this,

14
00:02:29,030 --> 00:02:30,520
could you spare Qi

15
00:02:31,280 --> 00:02:34,410
and everyone in Peach Village,
humans and demons alike?

16
00:02:34,750 --> 00:02:36,480
Qi hasn't done anything wrong.

17
00:02:37,030 --> 00:02:38,910
I don't have to be with him.

18
00:02:39,800 --> 00:02:41,120
He is...

19
00:02:42,750 --> 00:02:45,750
the gentlest, kindest man
I've ever met in this world.

20
00:02:52,310 --> 00:02:53,000
It's time.

21
00:02:54,360 --> 00:02:54,960
Qingli,

22
00:02:55,910 --> 00:02:57,190
you need to prepare for the ceremony.

23
00:02:57,190 --> 00:02:58,360
No matter the outcome,

24
00:02:58,360 --> 00:03:00,240
everyone has been looking forward to it
for so long.

25
00:03:00,240 --> 00:03:01,280
Don't let them miss

26
00:03:01,280 --> 00:03:03,610
the night peach blossoms blooming today.

27
00:03:04,080 --> 00:03:04,590
Okay.

28
00:03:13,080 --> 00:03:13,540
Come on.

29
00:03:13,630 --> 00:03:13,960
Here.

30
00:03:15,710 --> 00:03:16,310
Thank you.

31
00:03:17,079 --> 00:03:17,410
Here.

32
00:03:17,680 --> 00:03:18,140
Take it.

33
00:03:19,400 --> 00:03:20,000
Thank you.

34
00:03:20,590 --> 00:03:21,390
Here's to you.

35
00:03:22,520 --> 00:03:23,000
Here.

36
00:03:23,800 --> 00:03:24,360
Here.

37
00:03:25,870 --> 00:03:26,470
Thank you.

38
00:03:27,400 --> 00:03:27,960
Here.

39
00:03:28,280 --> 00:03:28,630
Take it.

40
00:03:28,630 --> 00:03:29,230
Thank you.

41
00:03:30,960 --> 00:03:31,470
Yours.

42
00:03:31,750 --> 00:03:32,680
You're welcome.

43
00:03:34,870 --> 00:03:35,530
Here you go.

44
00:03:36,360 --> 00:03:36,870
Here.

45
00:03:37,470 --> 00:03:38,270
I have one too.

46
00:03:38,560 --> 00:03:39,360
Take it.

47
00:03:40,430 --> 00:03:41,470
You are...

48
00:03:42,400 --> 00:03:43,030
Lu Shu?

49
00:03:44,190 --> 00:03:44,630
Yes.

50
00:03:45,470 --> 00:03:46,840
Here, have some more.

51
00:03:47,470 --> 00:03:47,960
Have some more.

52
00:03:47,960 --> 00:03:48,560
Thank you.

53
00:03:48,710 --> 00:03:49,400
Here you go.

54
00:03:49,470 --> 00:03:50,079
Yours.

55
00:03:50,430 --> 00:03:51,030
Thank you.

56
00:03:52,310 --> 00:03:52,590
For you.

57
00:03:52,590 --> 00:03:52,960
Here.

58
00:03:55,630 --> 00:03:56,750
Young Master Fugui,

59
00:03:56,750 --> 00:03:57,550
I found Lu Shu.

60
00:03:58,360 --> 00:03:59,620
He's right among them.

61
00:04:04,750 --> 00:04:05,870
Qingli is here!

62
00:04:05,870 --> 00:04:06,870
The fairy is here.

63
00:04:51,159 --> 00:04:52,600
The night peach blossoms bloom.

64
00:04:52,600 --> 00:04:53,950
The prayer begins.

65
00:05:02,160 --> 00:05:03,820
The full moon hangs in the sky.

66
00:05:04,040 --> 00:05:06,160
We pray for humans and demons to coexist

67
00:05:06,160 --> 00:05:09,120
and for there to be no more divisions
of race or class in this world.

68
00:05:09,120 --> 00:05:11,560
We pray for humans and demons to coexist

69
00:05:11,720 --> 00:05:15,270
and for there to be no more divisions
of race or class in this world.

70
00:05:15,270 --> 00:05:16,830
Colorful butterflies dance.

71
00:05:16,830 --> 00:05:18,950
We pray for peaceful years

72
00:05:19,190 --> 00:05:21,070
and for there to be
no more killing in the world.

73
00:05:21,070 --> 00:05:23,270
We pray for peaceful years

74
00:05:23,430 --> 00:05:25,800
and for there to be
no more killing in the world.

75
00:05:25,800 --> 00:05:27,660
May humans and demons coexist...

76
00:05:28,870 --> 00:05:30,070
and no more killing.

77
00:06:05,070 --> 00:06:06,270
So beautiful.

78
00:06:22,000 --> 00:06:23,160
So beautiful.

79
00:06:34,430 --> 00:06:36,290
Our wishes will surely come true.

80
00:07:04,190 --> 00:07:05,790
The Night Peach Tree blooms.

81
00:07:05,830 --> 00:07:07,750
I pray that all people and demons

82
00:07:07,950 --> 00:07:09,810
may have their wishes fulfilled.

83
00:07:13,870 --> 00:07:16,200
They say that Qingli is a butterfly demon.

84
00:07:16,480 --> 00:07:18,190
Whenever her demon power is at its peak

85
00:07:18,190 --> 00:07:19,390
during the full moon,

86
00:07:20,560 --> 00:07:22,820
she can summon swarms of butterflies...

87
00:07:23,830 --> 00:07:25,890
and make this Night Peach Tree bloom.

88
00:07:26,310 --> 00:07:27,040
These are just

89
00:07:27,040 --> 00:07:28,970
peach blossoms conjured by magic.

90
00:07:29,430 --> 00:07:31,360
It's just that they want to believe

91
00:07:32,000 --> 00:07:33,800
the flowers have truly bloomed.

92
00:07:36,600 --> 00:07:38,750
They're all people
who've experienced despair,

93
00:07:38,750 --> 00:07:39,950
who couldn't believe

94
00:07:40,630 --> 00:07:42,030
there could be a paradise

95
00:07:42,270 --> 00:07:43,430
in this world

96
00:07:44,950 --> 00:07:46,409
where we could make a home.

97
00:07:47,240 --> 00:07:48,770
But, Young Master Fugui...

98
00:07:50,240 --> 00:07:51,159
Look.

99
00:07:53,000 --> 00:07:54,270
In this Peach Village,

100
00:07:55,270 --> 00:07:56,670
humans and demons alike,

101
00:07:56,870 --> 00:07:57,750
strong or weak,

102
00:07:59,159 --> 00:08:00,950
can live well,

103
00:08:01,830 --> 00:08:03,430
do what they like,

104
00:08:04,390 --> 00:08:05,560
and live...

105
00:08:10,000 --> 00:08:11,460
the life they want to live.

106
00:08:13,950 --> 00:08:15,010
Unfortunately...

107
00:08:17,120 --> 00:08:17,830
What?

108
00:08:22,040 --> 00:08:22,830
Nothing.

109
00:08:27,040 --> 00:08:28,170
Young Master Fugui,

110
00:08:28,270 --> 00:08:29,200
look over there!

111
00:08:29,630 --> 00:08:30,630
That one is Lu Shu.

112
00:08:35,480 --> 00:08:36,740
Rest here for a moment.

113
00:08:37,000 --> 00:08:37,840
Okay.

114
00:08:53,240 --> 00:08:54,360
You are Lu Shu?

115
00:08:55,270 --> 00:08:56,530
You gave the villagers

116
00:08:56,960 --> 00:08:59,090
the seeds for this flower, didn't you?

117
00:08:59,270 --> 00:08:59,870
Tell me!

118
00:09:00,440 --> 00:09:02,700
What's your relationship with Chakuwa?

119
00:09:16,680 --> 00:09:17,200
Lu Shu.

120
00:09:18,010 --> 00:09:19,080
Who are you really?

121
00:09:20,440 --> 00:09:21,510
What exactly is

122
00:09:21,910 --> 00:09:23,370
that coreless red flower?

123
00:09:33,750 --> 00:09:35,030
A teleportation talisman.

124
00:09:35,030 --> 00:09:37,440
Since you were already prepared
to run away,

125
00:09:37,440 --> 00:09:39,300
why did you still want to fight me?

126
00:09:39,480 --> 00:09:40,000
Tell me.

127
00:09:44,150 --> 00:09:44,670
Oh no,

128
00:09:45,270 --> 00:09:46,670
it's a diversion tactic.

129
00:10:03,670 --> 00:10:06,130
Why hasn't Young Master Fugui
come back yet?

130
00:10:08,630 --> 00:10:09,720
Little spider.

131
00:10:10,510 --> 00:10:12,360
My stomach hurts so much.

132
00:10:12,670 --> 00:10:15,000
I feel like something's churning inside.

133
00:10:15,390 --> 00:10:17,150
You probably just ate too much.

134
00:10:17,790 --> 00:10:18,870
You glutton.

135
00:10:26,960 --> 00:10:27,750
Jiu.

136
00:10:28,550 --> 00:10:29,270
Jiu?

137
00:10:30,320 --> 00:10:30,790
Jiu...

138
00:10:47,840 --> 00:10:48,700
What happened?

139
00:10:50,750 --> 00:10:51,240
Wake up.

140
00:10:51,510 --> 00:10:52,000
Wake up!

141
00:10:53,790 --> 00:10:54,390
Man.

142
00:10:54,750 --> 00:10:55,240
Man!

143
00:10:55,360 --> 00:10:55,870
Wake up!

144
00:10:59,030 --> 00:10:59,760
Granny Shui.

145
00:11:00,320 --> 00:11:01,050
Granny Shui?

146
00:11:01,390 --> 00:11:02,120
Granny Shui?

147
00:11:03,550 --> 00:11:04,550
Qi.

148
00:11:09,440 --> 00:11:10,440
Qi.

149
00:11:12,720 --> 00:11:13,510
Qingli?

150
00:11:26,550 --> 00:11:27,390
Qingli?

151
00:11:30,150 --> 00:11:30,950
Why are you...

152
00:11:32,030 --> 00:11:32,890
Why did they...

153
00:11:34,790 --> 00:11:36,190
Why did they all pass out?

154
00:11:36,600 --> 00:11:37,750
They're all tired.

155
00:11:50,030 --> 00:11:51,080
You're tired too.

156
00:11:53,510 --> 00:11:54,770
You should take a rest.

157
00:12:02,750 --> 00:12:03,680
Don't be afraid.

158
00:12:05,750 --> 00:12:06,670
Soon,

159
00:12:08,080 --> 00:12:10,150
you'll truly belong to me.

160
00:12:21,750 --> 00:12:23,350
After preparing for so long,

161
00:12:23,600 --> 00:12:26,060
it's finally the season
to harvest Chakuwa.

162
00:13:21,960 --> 00:13:22,560
Qingtong.

163
00:13:24,960 --> 00:13:25,560
Qingtong?

164
00:14:02,390 --> 00:14:03,030
Zhang Qi.

165
00:14:04,750 --> 00:14:05,550
Zhang Qi?

166
00:14:21,320 --> 00:14:21,910
Qingli.

167
00:14:22,870 --> 00:14:23,510
Come out.

168
00:14:25,080 --> 00:14:26,270
You're the one who made the Chakuwa,

169
00:14:26,270 --> 00:14:27,440
aren't you?

170
00:14:30,240 --> 00:14:30,960
Come out!

171
00:14:43,960 --> 00:14:46,080
Mr. Zhang took Chakuwa

172
00:14:46,720 --> 00:14:48,390
and inhaled the phosphorus powder.

173
00:14:48,390 --> 00:14:49,650
He's under my control.

174
00:14:50,320 --> 00:14:51,270
Now,

175
00:14:51,870 --> 00:14:53,670
he's completely mine.

176
00:14:57,080 --> 00:14:57,870
Ah.

177
00:14:58,960 --> 00:15:00,750
Soldier, you really are dull.

178
00:15:02,200 --> 00:15:03,480
At a time like this,

179
00:15:03,790 --> 00:15:05,250
shouldn't you be asking me

180
00:15:05,440 --> 00:15:07,030
why I've done all this?

181
00:15:11,790 --> 00:15:14,120
I've orchestrated such a perfect scheme.

182
00:15:15,360 --> 00:15:17,090
If I can't tell anyone about it,

183
00:15:18,510 --> 00:15:20,480
what's the point of all this?

184
00:15:22,000 --> 00:15:22,750
How about

185
00:15:23,440 --> 00:15:25,480
I take you to a better place

186
00:15:26,480 --> 00:15:28,000
and tell you slowly?

187
00:15:42,510 --> 00:15:43,750
Young Master...

188
00:15:44,550 --> 00:15:45,870
Young Master Fugui...

189
00:15:52,930 --> 00:15:56,400
[Qingli's Frozen Barrier]

190
00:16:00,080 --> 00:16:00,750
This is...

191
00:16:01,600 --> 00:16:02,390
a barrier?

192
00:16:02,670 --> 00:16:04,080
Within this barrier,

193
00:16:04,320 --> 00:16:07,120
the Night Peach Tree
grants us even greater power.

194
00:16:07,750 --> 00:16:09,790
The Zhang Qi you're facing now

195
00:16:10,120 --> 00:16:12,270
is not the Zhang Qi you once knew.

196
00:17:56,880 --> 00:17:58,270
Mr. Zhang, wake up now!

197
00:17:59,750 --> 00:18:00,960
You asked for this!

198
00:18:09,440 --> 00:18:10,240
Wake up!

199
00:18:35,110 --> 00:18:36,110
Fairy Qingli...

200
00:18:37,110 --> 00:18:38,590
Why are you doing this?

201
00:18:39,510 --> 00:18:40,960
"Fairy Qingli"?

202
00:18:43,960 --> 00:18:45,220
Am I a butterfly fairy?

203
00:18:55,400 --> 00:18:56,550
Do you know

204
00:18:57,240 --> 00:18:58,830
what my true form is?

205
00:19:21,420 --> 00:19:24,170
[Qingli, Ghost-faced Moth Demon]

206
00:19:22,350 --> 00:19:23,920
I'm no butterfly.

207
00:19:25,110 --> 00:19:26,830
I'm a ghost-faced moth.

208
00:19:27,920 --> 00:19:29,480
In Dongshan Insect Valley,

209
00:19:30,240 --> 00:19:32,070
a lowly ghost-faced moth demon

210
00:19:32,270 --> 00:19:34,880
has to endure endless filth

211
00:19:35,480 --> 00:19:37,270
and bullying...

212
00:19:38,550 --> 00:19:40,270
just to survive.

213
00:19:42,750 --> 00:19:43,680
Luckily,

214
00:19:44,590 --> 00:19:46,110
I encountered something

215
00:19:46,110 --> 00:19:48,480
that could change my fate—

216
00:19:50,030 --> 00:19:52,310
the seeds of Chakuwa.

217
00:19:53,410 --> 00:19:55,000
What exactly is Chakuwa?

218
00:19:56,700 --> 00:19:58,840
They're the eggs
of the ancient bird demon.

219
00:19:58,840 --> 00:20:01,300
These eggs can parasitize
plants and trees—

220
00:20:01,420 --> 00:20:02,830
perfect seeds.

221
00:20:04,350 --> 00:20:05,270
When Lu Shu

222
00:20:05,270 --> 00:20:06,030
distributed these seeds

223
00:20:06,030 --> 00:20:08,110
to those villagers,

224
00:20:08,400 --> 00:20:10,750
they were all so delighted.

225
00:20:12,720 --> 00:20:14,270
These are the seeds I prepared.

226
00:20:14,270 --> 00:20:15,440
You can plant them.

227
00:20:15,680 --> 00:20:17,810
They'll grow into beautiful flowers.

228
00:20:21,790 --> 00:20:23,650
Those seeds aren't flower seeds—

229
00:20:23,680 --> 00:20:25,280
they're parasitic insects.

230
00:20:25,840 --> 00:20:28,000
Once they enter the human body,

231
00:20:28,000 --> 00:20:30,030
they rapidly absorb life force

232
00:20:31,160 --> 00:20:32,680
and become Chakuwa.

233
00:20:35,240 --> 00:20:37,240
So you used Mr. Zhang's kindness

234
00:20:38,070 --> 00:20:39,880
to trick everyone here...

235
00:20:41,070 --> 00:20:42,720
all to make your wretched medicine!

236
00:20:42,720 --> 00:20:44,350
What a perfect plan!

237
00:20:45,030 --> 00:20:47,770
If it weren't for today's little accident,

238
00:20:48,920 --> 00:20:51,110
when Peach Village disappeared tonight,

239
00:20:51,110 --> 00:20:53,000
who would've cared about their lives?

240
00:20:53,000 --> 00:20:55,660
And who would've remembered
they ever existed?

241
00:21:00,590 --> 00:21:01,920
But after doing this...

242
00:21:03,880 --> 00:21:06,480
how can you face
Mr. Zhang's sincere feelings?

243
00:21:19,350 --> 00:21:21,790
There's actually such a fool in this world

244
00:21:23,510 --> 00:21:26,030
who spent seven whole years

245
00:21:27,590 --> 00:21:30,650
purging the poisonous miasma
of this desolate land...

246
00:21:34,350 --> 00:21:36,920
All to give
a lowly ghost-faced moth demon...

247
00:21:39,070 --> 00:21:40,160
a home.

248
00:21:42,440 --> 00:21:43,510
He's the only person

249
00:21:43,510 --> 00:21:45,710
in this world who's ever been kind to me.

250
00:21:47,480 --> 00:21:48,510
But you know what?

251
00:21:49,270 --> 00:21:52,200
I despise all things holy and flawless.

252
00:21:53,480 --> 00:21:55,160
The moment you appeared,

253
00:21:55,510 --> 00:21:57,350
my heart raced uncontrollably.

254
00:21:58,070 --> 00:21:58,920
I knew then

255
00:21:59,590 --> 00:22:01,480
that I'd found my life's purpose.

256
00:22:02,720 --> 00:22:04,780
So even if it takes the rest of my life,

257
00:22:05,200 --> 00:22:07,260
I'll drag you down from your pedestal

258
00:22:07,640 --> 00:22:08,840
and into the darkness

259
00:22:09,070 --> 00:22:10,400
with me.

260
00:22:11,640 --> 00:22:13,160
The Zhang Qi now

261
00:22:13,590 --> 00:22:16,120
is the most perfect version of him
in my heart.

262
00:22:20,030 --> 00:22:21,680
So I want him

263
00:22:22,270 --> 00:22:24,510
to stay by my side forever.

264
00:22:27,480 --> 00:22:28,680
"Stay by your side"?

265
00:22:30,030 --> 00:22:31,360
You mean control him...

266
00:22:33,030 --> 00:22:35,160
keeping him like a puppet by your side.

267
00:22:36,160 --> 00:22:37,200
Is that

268
00:22:38,240 --> 00:22:39,770
still the Zhang Qi you want?

269
00:22:39,860 --> 00:22:40,960
So what?

270
00:22:43,270 --> 00:22:45,920
As long as he can stay by my side...

271
00:23:01,160 --> 00:23:02,720
You go save the others first.

272
00:23:02,720 --> 00:23:03,240

your foolish dreams,

Your dream...

302
00:25:18,720 --> 00:25:20,480
is a joke.

303
00:25:23,630 --> 00:25:24,830
Why don't we

304
00:25:25,070 --> 00:25:26,530
create a miracle together

305
00:25:26,830 --> 00:25:28,160
and make them believe?

306
00:26:12,400 --> 00:26:13,680

may I have one day...

and Peach Village
changed drastically overnight.

317

They were alive last night,

318
00:27:13,310 --> 00:27:15,170
but today they lie cold and still.

319
00:27:15,270 --> 00:27:18,070
Did these innocent humans and demons
truly deserve to die

320
00:27:18,070 --> 00:27:19,830

Mr. Zhang has already arranged everything.

00:27:35,750 --> 00:27:36,550
In a moment,

325
00:27:37,830 --> 00:27:39,760
there will be a farewell ceremony.

326
00:27:40,310 --> 00:27:41,570
Are you still very sad?

327
00:27:45,920 --> 00:27:46,440
Yes.

328
00:27:48,790 --> 00:27:50,640
No one blames Mr. Zhang.

329
00:27:53,640 --> 00:27:54,550
But he...

330
00:27:56,160 --> 00:27:57,690
seems even more sorrowful.

331
00:28:01,070 --> 00:28:02,600
Heaven rules day and night,

332
00:28:02,790 --> 00:28:04,520

333
00:28:05,000 --> 00:28:07,000
These are things no one can control.

334
00:28:11,400 --> 00:28:11,920
Then...

335
00:28:14,070 --> 00:28:15,640
I'll go help everyone.

336
00:28:22,510 --> 00:28:25,640
Is it truly impossible
for a hidden paradise to exist...

337
00:28:27,200 --> 00:28:29,060
where humans and demons coexist?

338
00:29:13,830 --> 00:29:15,560
There are good and evil demons,

339
00:29:15,640 --> 00:29:17,590
and the evil ones should be executed.

340
00:29:17,590 --> 00:29:19,320
But what have good demons done?

341
00:29:20,480 --> 00:29:22,160
Without emotions and desires,

342
00:29:22,160 --> 00:29:24,550
how could they know joy and sorrow
as humans do?

343
00:29:24,550 --> 00:29:25,680
They know love and hate,

344
00:29:25,680 --> 00:29:26,680
pain and suffering.

345
00:29:26,680 --> 00:29:29,350
They only wished to live peacefully
in Peach Village and survive,

346
00:29:29,350 --> 00:29:31,400
yet they were treated as
expendable insects

347
00:29:31,400 --> 00:29:32,800
and slaughtered at will.

348
00:29:33,750 --> 00:29:34,790

00:29:34,790 --> 00:29:35,750

350
00:29:36,200 --> 00:29:38,110
among all the beings under the heavens—

351
00:29:38,110 --> 00:29:41,370
who is truly fated to be trapped in
this cycle of suffering?

352
00:29:51,640 --> 00:29:52,680
It's time.

353
00:30:02,680 --> 00:30:04,680
It's time to end all of this.

354
00:30:44,000 --> 00:30:45,260
You've figured it out?

355
00:30:47,680 --> 00:30:48,810
Young Master Fugui.

356
00:30:50,590 --> 00:30:52,110
Do you like Peach Village?

357
00:30:54,880 --> 00:30:56,410
I like this place very much.

358
00:30:57,240 --> 00:30:59,000
Yesterday, I saw you sitting in

359
00:30:59,640 --> 00:31:02,170
Mr. Zhang's courtyard,
reading those books.

360
00:31:02,270 --> 00:31:03,470
I started to imagine.

361
00:31:04,480 --> 00:31:05,540
I imagined that...

362
00:31:07,310 --> 00:31:09,030
if it were our home,

363
00:31:10,590 --> 00:31:12,250
I'd raise a bunch of ducklings

364
00:31:13,200 --> 00:31:15,460
and grow all kinds of flowers and plants.

365
00:31:16,350 --> 00:31:17,950
How wonderful that would be.

366
00:31:19,590 --> 00:31:20,550
Unfortunately,

367
00:31:21,270 --> 00:31:23,070
everything changed overnight.

368
00:31:23,720 --> 00:31:25,590
Everyone has been separated by death.

369
00:31:25,590 --> 00:31:26,990
We've lost our family...

370
00:31:28,640 --> 00:31:29,880
and loved ones.

371
00:31:33,350 --> 00:31:34,480

[Dust-Seeker]

376
00:32:10,920 --> 00:32:12,250
The Dust-Seeker Sword?

377
00:32:12,720 --> 00:32:14,030
You're small in stature.

379
00:32:15,160 --> 00:32:15,830

You're giving this to me,
Young Master Fugui?

382
00:32:27,160 --> 00:32:27,960
Come with me.

383
00:32:43,510 --> 00:32:44,480
I promised

384
00:32:44,920 --> 00:32:47,750
to teach you swordsmanship
sufficient for self-protection.

385
00:32:47,750 --> 00:32:49,950
Today, I'll teach you the final lesson.

386
00:32:50,160 --> 00:32:51,420
And the answer you seek

387
00:32:51,960 --> 00:32:53,310
lies in the next move.

388
00:32:54,680 --> 00:32:56,030
Now, I'll cross swords with you.

389
00:32:56,030 --> 00:32:57,960
You need to feel it with your heart.

390
00:32:58,110 --> 00:32:59,640
Do you see that ray of light?

391
00:33:02,720 --> 00:33:03,310
Tell me,

392
00:33:03,830 --> 00:33:04,960
what's in the light?

393
00:33:13,400 --> 00:33:14,240
In the light,

394
00:33:15,240 --> 00:33:16,460
there's swirling dirt everywhere.

395
00:33:16,460 --> 00:33:17,480
That's dust.

396
00:33:18,070 --> 00:33:19,590
Dust dances with the light,

397
00:33:19,590 --> 00:33:21,310
revealing where the light comes from.

398
00:33:21,310 --> 00:33:22,240
And with a sword,

399
00:33:22,310 --> 00:33:24,170
what matters isn't the technique

400
00:33:24,240 --> 00:33:25,500
but the sword essence.

406
00:33:49,310 --> 00:33:52,840
Why rise with the wind even
when your life is as fragile as grass?

407
00:33:54,350 --> 00:33:56,240
