Original subtitles

(The tassel crowns the knight. The sword is snow white.)

(In the silver saddle, he rides like a shooting star.)

(He kills a man within ten steps. Invincible he is all the way ahead.)

(He would leave once it's done. No trace of him is to be found.)

=Sword Snow Stride= (Season 1)

=Episode 7=

You could've stopped him to go.

He's been running most of his life.

He can finally face his fate.

No one has the right

to stop him.

Brother.

Slow down.

You are sweating.

Did Old Huang leave?

I got steamed buns for him

from the kitchen.

He would be back.

What are you sighing for, Huangman'er?

If only he hadn't left.

If only everyone could stay

and no one would leave.

Right.

No one would leave.

(Tingchao Pavilion)

(Imposing and Magnificent)

It's so strange.

The Nangong Family from North Mang

is noble and reputable.

My spies

have been digging into it for many days

yet nothing is found

about Nangong Puye.

You should believe your son's eyes.

How good is this woman?

Excellent.

Give her ten years

and she can ruin the world.

Do you mean

Fengnian has luckily got a talent?

I quit.

The vibe of a master.

What is the vibe of a master?

It should look good.

Isn't it your Coming-of-Age Ceremony today?

Why are you here?

Xu Xiao wants my master to attend it.

(Imposing and Magnificent)

Will he come down?

No.

Why?

This is the cage he made for himself.

The war

has been long over.

Why can't you

let it go?

Do you remember

what people said about me back then?

Can't you let it go?

How?

Hands stained with blood

cannot be washed clean.

As you said,

should I kill myself

for what I did?

No. No. No.

It's different.

My blade

was used to end the chaos

in the world.

Now,

Liyang is unified.

My thing

is already done,

but

yours not.

The banner of Xu

on North Liang's land

cannot fall yet.

Thus,

you can't stop moving.

You need to go on.

You have more to do than me.

You hide here at leisure,

and leave me so many difficulties.

I'm tutoring your son.

You?

You do well, huh?

You may go down.

It is

Fengnian's Coming-of-Age Ceremony.

Don't get it delayed.

Li Yishan is your master.

No wonder you don't learn martial arts.

Commanding

is better than fighting in battle.

It's just that...

It's just that such people can be advisers at best,

but cannot unite the armies as one.

If I take over North Liang,

people won't be convinced.

Is this what you mean?

You know it.

Why don't you learn martial arts?

If a lord's son is an all-round talent,

how long do you think he can live?

So, you are known

as a pervert,

a loser.

A loser

lives long.

You should go.

It's my Coming-of-Age Ceremony today.

Would you attend it?

I don't like noise.

Fine.

I'm going.

(Tingchao Pavilion)

Doesn't my master come down?

Never mind.

He is old and not very healthy.

It's so cold.

He can't stand it.

Your Lordship. A secret report from Mount Longhu.

(Jian Jiuhuang has left Mount Longhu for Wudi City.)

Old Huang has left Mount Longhu

on his way to Wudi City.

He can be back soon after the fight.

No mortal is a match

to the East Sea Wang Xianzhi.

It's your Coming-of-Age Ceremony.

No more about that.

Let's go.

Wait.

The ancestral temple is in this direction.

I know.

The Coming-of-Age Ceremony

should be held in the ancestral temple.

I changed the place.

As per ancient rules, we shall pray to Heaven and Earth,

and ancestors.

No.

Neither pray to Heaven and Earth,

nor pray to ancestors?

Where will it be held then?

In front of your mother's grave.

Let her see the day

when you come of age.

When your mother was alive,

these two stone lions

were her favorites.

There are your two sisters and Huangman'er.

Only you are on this side.

Your mother's love and partiality to you

has never ended.

They say I am

crazy and ruthless,

a vulgar person who has no manners.

I admit it.

Today we won't pray to Heaven and Earth,

only to your mother.

(Xu)

Where is Huangman'er?

You should know him well.

Every time he comes to your mother's grave,

he cries his eyes out.

Let's

finish the ceremony first.

Let's go.

Our son has come of age.

He's an adult now.

You can rest in peace.

Kneel.

Take the Cap

and change the Gown.

(The Coming-of-Age Text) On this good day,

you are given the Cloth Cap.

Forsake your childishness,

and have the morality of adults.

Be upright and virtuous.

Wish you health and longevity.

The whole capital

is watching this.

As per the ancient rule,

from today on,

you can no longer wear it.

Afterwards,

you may be an official

and govern the country.

Remove the Cap

and change the Gown.

Kneel.

On this good day,

you are given the Pelt Cap.

May you have an awesome bearing,

and good characters.

Wish you longevity.

Heaven bless you.

The Pelt Cap is for nobles and officials

in charge of military affairs.

Afterwards,

you may serve in the army

and have military power.

In North Liang,

350 thousand cavalrymen

are all waiting for this moment.

Remove the Cap

and change the Gown.

Kneel.

On this auspicious day

of the time,

the ceremony is held for you.

All the attendees are here to celebrate,

for the virtue of yours.

Wish you longevity.

Heaven bless you.

The third one should be the Lordship Cap,

to grant you the right of ancestral worship.

I thought about it

and got it changed.

This Cap

is not in line with rituals.

No allusion either.

You can say

it is nothing.

No one

will care about this,

but your mother.

Because

it's the Cap that she made for you.

When she was making it,

she hoped

to see the day when you wore it.

Now,

she can finally see.

To be an official or a lord

in charge of military power

is good.

But however good it is,

it's no better than this.

Yes.

Nothing is better than this.

Come.

Mother.

Please look.

I have grown up.

Where are the others?

I told them to go back.

What are you looking at?

The world is so big.

Standing so high,

I still can't see all of it.

You might not be able to see all of it.

Maybe

it's not high enough.

Isn't it high enough?

The higher you are,

the better you see.

The scene down there is also good.

Fengnian.

As per ancient rituals,

you are a grownup

after the Coming-of-Age Ceremony.

Are you persuading me to take over North Liang again?

No. No. No.

No hurry.

You can

take your time

and think about it.

What are you trying to say?

I mean,

before today,

you are still a child.

Yes.

Youth is good.

But you are not very thoughtful

and insightful.

It doesn't matter.

I'm your father.

I'm like a big umbrella,

shielding you

from wind and rain.

So,

for the things you can't decide,

I've made

the decision for you.

What decision?

Huangman'er!

Where has Huangman'er gone?

He has left the city.

Don't worry.

He will come back.

You don't want to kill Ning Emei.

And you want your brother stay in North Liang.

I have to find you the third way.

No killing.

Your brother can stay.

And North Liang won't be in chaos.

What do you want exactly?

Let me ask you.

Why do the officials in the army

get close to your brother?

He was born with great power.

And he is valiant and peerless.

What if he lost his talent?

What do you mean?

I'll reshape him

and let him be a mortal.

That way,

you don't have to kill,

your brother can stay forever

and they won't use him

to disrupt North Liang.

How to reshape him?

In the world,

there are many sects

and martial arts.

One of the sects has the martial arts

that can make your brother's body

change.

Which sect?

The Wudang Sect.

(Mount Wudang)

Xu Xiao.

You promised my mother to protect him!

I promised her

to protect both of you.

You want it good for both sides.

That's the only choice I can make.

The power struggle

is a game of survival.

To make him ordinary

is to give him a peaceful life.

That's the only way to keep him

in North Liang.

Can you do me another favor?

Speak.

Be my bodyguard again

and go to Mount Wudang with me.

The smell of killing.

Are you forcing your way there?

No, to save my brother.

There are 350 thousand cavalrymen in North Liang.

Why do you ask me to guard you?

Xu Xiao's men are everywhere.

So, your father didn't agree.

It's my business,

and my decision.

I can't help you.

Why?

If I helped you,

your father would kick me out of Tingchao Pavilion.

I thought we were friends!

Do you know

why I stay in Tingchao Pavilion?

You want to be the Top Master.

Why do I want to be the Top Master?

Because that's the only way

to complete

the oath that I wrote with blood,

to uphold justice for the dead.

It's the only goal that I live for.

Sorry.

No need to say sorry.

I can't help you,

but one person here

isn't under your father's command.

The person out of water.

I forgot him!

Thanks.

Wait.

Protect yourself with Xiudong.

Return it when you are back.

I can't play martial arts.

I could fail the blade.

Take it as kindness

from a friend.

(Tingchao Pavilion)

Eat some more.

Eat up.

Eat.

What's the problem?

Go out of the city with me.

Why?

No.

You promised Old Huang to be my guard.

Will you go back on your word?

Where are you going?

Mount Wudang.

So far?

No, I won't.

You break your promise.

It's bad for your fame.

We are friends.

Xu Xiao.

Look.

Not a single horse.

Your father has taken all the horses away.

Go out first.

There is a horse market in the street.

We can buy them there.

Your father ordered that

all horses shall be taken to the barracks.

I assumed you'd make trouble,

so, I asked these two horses.

Would you borrow them?

Two taels of silver.

Let me make it clear.

Given your father's deeds,

you cannot

buy any horse in Lingzhou.

Thanks.

I said you should pay.

I know.

Two taels of silver.

You'll have it when I'm back.

I'm not helping you.

You'd better leave North Liang.

Without you around me, I will feel easy.

Senior.

Are you going out

against your father's will?

Yes.

To catch up with my brother.

Perhaps we'll have to fight to get him.

Are you scared?

This is more interesting.

I come to see what you need.

I heard that

you gave horses to Xu Fengnian.

Does it spread so fast?

Xu Xiao obviously

doesn't want him to go out.

You will be in trouble.

Why do you fear while I fear nothing?

You...

What?

You two...

Sworn enemies.

This man is so sly.

I've got no chance to kill him.

Did nothing happen to you?

It did.

I was fined when I failed.

Why do you want to kill him?

He robbed me of my money.

He's been bullying me since childhood.

That's not a reason.

Perhaps

to let him get used to it first.

Get used to what?

Get used to that

either of us will end up dead.

What are you implying?

Against fate,

people all fight alone.

Open the gate.

Fengzi Battalion is ordered to close the city.

No one shall go out

without an order.

Do you know who I am?

In the order,

His Lordship specially

prohibited you, Your Highness, from going out.

Should we fight a way out?

They are following the order.

They don't deserve to die.

Check other gates?

Xu Xiao won't make such mistakes.

We can pull some strings.

I know

why Xu Xiao asked Chu Lushan

to take Huangman'er to Mount Wudang.

Your father calculated everything.

You've got no chance.

What?

Have you given up?

The barrack name sounds familiar.

I recall it.

Let's go.

You come again, Your Highness.

Outside Lingzhou,

I met you for the first time.

Yes.

I was ordered to bring you back.

You said

Fengzi Battalion was under your command.

Yes.

Let's go.

What to do?

Help me open the gate.

What happened to the gate?

Fengzi Battalion has closed the city.

Why is the city closed?

It's Xu Xiao's order.

If it's a military order,

I shall obey.

I won't go.

He'll ruin my brother's body.

Young Master Longxiang!

Whether we can save him or not,

it's up to you.

Xu Fengnian entered the dungeon with a token.

Was the token

from his master?

Ning Emei must order to open the gate.

He's the leader of Fengzi Battalion.

His words are orders to them.

Ning Emei admired Huangman'er the most.

He'll definitely go to save him.

Can you catch up with them?

Yes.

Deliver a message to him

for me.

Please go back, Your Highness.

The gate won't be open

until tomorrow.

General Ning is back.

Pass my order.

Open the gate

and prepare horses.

Yes.

(Lingzhou)

Stop.

Your Highness.

Where is Huangman'er?

In Mount Wudang.

Do you leave him there alone?

Do you know why Xu Xiao got him

in Mount Wudang?

He didn't tell me.

He'll ruin the body of Huangman'er.

Don't worry so much.

Only Dahuangting,

the Achiever of Wudang Heart Arts,

can change one's body.

No one in Wudang Sect can do that for years.

What's wrong?

You don't know it.

Wudang Sect declines.

It's the Chief Wang Chonglou who is in charge.

He is extremely talented.

He's achieved the Dahuangting.

Has someone in Wudang Sect achieved the Dahuangting?

Move.

Let's go to Mount Wudang.

Chen Zhibao.

You go first, Your Highness.

I'll stop him.

We can't run away.

A message for you.

Go ahead.

My adoptive father has a message for you.

Fengnian.

You are now an adult.

You should learn

to make choices now.

It's a dilemma about Huangman'er.

Since you decide to go there,

the result

is on you.

Did he

allow me to go to Mount Wudang?

If you want to keep Xu Longxiang's power,

you need to make a choice like before.

Or

Let him leave North Liang forever.

Or

Learn to kill.

Kill?

Who to kill?

You can go to Mount Wudang.

North Liang Army must go back to Lingzhou.

Ning Emei,

Chu Lushan,

go back with me.

He is ordering me.

He's right.

Your Highness.

North Liang Army is a big concern to the royal family.

Long absence from the garrison

might raise suspicion.

You should go back.

Yes.

For the sake of brotherhood,

please protect Young Master.

You have my word.

Xu Fengnian.

Consider the consequences

before you make the decision.

Move.

Let's go to Mount Wudang.

Here we are.

How to get him back?

Fight a way out?

I don't think the Chief Wang Chonglou

would like to see us directly.
