"The Killing of Three Thousand Crows"

"Episode 3"

Jiu Yun,

you don't need to guard me when I'm training next time.

I can control my spirit energy.

I won't become...

obsessed with it.

You're getting old now.

You should be careful.

The Dragon King will come...

to the mountain soon.

He'll come soon?

I knew this dragon for many years.

I'm all too familiar with him.

Do you know why he's coming?

First,

he's here to see if I'm better in my skills.

After that, he'll talk about the artifacts in the mountain.

But in reality,

he just wants to take my artifacts.

True.

In Mount Xiangqu,

there are many artifacts of the sages.

It's normal for them to be greedy.

Do you think he only has the artifacts on his mind?

I'm afraid he wants to take over the entire mountain.

Calm down.

He's not that strong.

I won't put him in mind.

But I'm just worried that...

he has some ulterior motives.

Jiu Yun.

The Spirit Lantern that you've brought was great.

I can harvest its energy well.

With it, I can help you to seal the two things inside of you better.

Am I right?

You are a master of seals among the sages.

Without your seals,

I...

would've been dead.

-Princess! -Master, please teach me.

And assist me in finding the Spirit Lantern.

So that I can take revenge against our enemies.

And save the people of Li.

We can start our plan now.

The Spirit Lantern is located here.

Mount Xiangqu?

Kitty.

Kitty, go.

Kitty, again.

What are you doing?

I never thought sages would be affected by stenches.

Jiu Yun,

why is there an outsider on our mountain?

When you go to Mount Xiangqu,

you must never reveal your true identity.

Yan Yan,

this year, you'll become an adult, right?

Master.

Come.

Women of Li...

can only receive their true names...

when they become adults.

From now on,

your name is...

Qin Chuan.

-Qin Chuan? -Yes.

That's a nice name.

After you've changed your identity,

you must go and light the lantern.

And offer your soul to the lantern.

But you'll be doomed eternally.

Let me ask you again.

Do you really want to do this?

Yes.

Qin Chuan.

I'm late.

Are you angry with me?

Why aren't you talking?

Are you scolding me in your heart?

You still don't want to talk?

I'll find a way to make you talk.

You're so fragrant.

What did you put on?

Can I kiss you?

You can't escape from me.

-He's there. -Let's go.

Lord Jiu Yun is playing chess.

He's an expert in chess.

Lord Jiu Yun is great.

He's really good at chess.

He's handsome too.

-He's great. -Yeah.

He'll win soon.

My lord, you look good in blue.

I like him no matter what colour he wears.

You know how to please me.

Lord Jiu Yun.

Lord Jiu Yun.

What kind of dreams are you having?

Lord Jiu Yun is here.

Lord Jiu Yun?

Lord Jiu Yun!

Qin Chuan!

Qin Chuan!

Will Lord Jiu Yun fall in love with a nobody like me?

Lord Jiu Yun is handsome!

Lord Jiu Yun is here.

-I like him very much. -Me too.

Let's go.

He's handsome even when he's peeling oranges.

-He's looking at me. -Is he looking at you?

-Is he looking at you? -He's looking at me.

Let's go!

-Let's go. -What are you doing?

Greetings, Lord Jiu Yun.

We met the other day.

Someone sent me some oranges today.

And I thought of you two.

Lord Jiu Yun, I...

You can kiss me.

You have a nice scent too.

I bought this osmanthus oil at the shop under the mountain.

It's cheap.

It's made from fresh osmanthus.

If that's the case,

close your eyes.

Cui just fainted!

Hurry up! Help her!

Stay here.

Come.

I heard that Lord Jiu Yun is good to everyone.

Well, seeing is believing.

Now that I've seen you in action, I believe it now.

But Cui is my sister. I need to see her now.

Cui!

Your purse is delicate.

My purse?

I bought this at the street the other day.

Let me have a look.

I only have two tael in it.

You do have two tael in it.

You didn't lie to me.

-Of course. -So obedient.

Can you give me back my money?

I'll give you this.

It's quite rare.

Oranges are very deceptive.

They look shiny and golden on the surface.

Under the surface, they're evil.

The skin is bitter and it burns your mouth.

And sometimes, its flesh may go bad as well.

Now that I've peeled this orange,

tell me, do you think it's sweet or sour?

I think...

If you're afraid that it'll be sour,

I can try it for you.

It's sweet.

It better be.

Qin Chuan,

are you crazy?

Our lords hate this smell. You'll get scolded.

Why would that be? I look good this way.

Last time,

I think Lord Jiu Yun must've smelled this too.

Maybe that's why he didn't kiss me.

Why am I so useless? Why did I faint for the second time?

Looks like I'll never be lucky.

Qin Chuan, are you in love?

No.

I heard that Lord Jiu Yun is close to you.

He'll leave me alone soon enough.

Don't worry.

Greetings, Lord Jiu Yun.

Come.

Chuan, the flowers are so beautiful.

Let me put it on for you.

My lord,

I'm grateful that you've been taking care of me all along.

But I need to be honest with you.

Tell me.

Slowly.

Tell me everything.

I have a childhood friend whom I loved.

When he was 16, he went to the mountain for sage training.

After that, I've been asking around.

Only then, I knew about Mount Xiangqu.

I came to work because I want to find him.

Continue.

His surname is Dou. His name is Dou.

He's Dou Dou.

Your childhood friend?

What's his name again?

Dou Dou.

I'm not Dou Dou!

I'm not Dou Dou!

I'm not Dou Dou!

I'm Er Meng.

Go away!

-What's wrong? -Get away!

You forgot my name already?

I'm not Dou Dou.

I'm Er Meng.

Go away!

Who is he?

Hurry, greet Lord Jiu Yun now!

He's not important.

Chuan, I thought you wanted to keep our relationship a secret?

-Go now! -I didn't expect this.

Don't worry.

I will treat you well.

Er Meng.

I need to do something important. You must leave now.

Okay. I'll follow everything you say.

I'll leave now.

He'll follow everything you say?

Come with me.

Lord Jiu Yun!

I only have Dou Dou in my heart.

I'm not lying.

If it's true,

tell me your story in reverse then.

I have someone I loved. I came to work because of him.

I knew about Mount Xiangqu.

I asked around.

Only then, I knew he went for sage training in the mountains.

He's my beloved, my childhood friend.

He's Dou Dou.

Since you did it,

I should return this to you.

Lord Jiu Yun, please have mercy! This...

I've learned some martial arts from my father.

The needle and the drug...

are used to protect myself.

I had no choice that day.

It's true. I thought you were a pervert.

I did it...

because I wanted to protect my chastity.

Lord Jiu Yun, you're a magnanimous person.

Please forgive me.

Don't hold it against me.

But, let me say this.

Lord Jiu Yun, your body is quite strong.

Usually, people would faint straight away...

if they got injected.

But Lord Jiu Yun, you lasted for quite some time.

To protect your chastity?

You must be afraid of me.

Not at all.

Why would I be afraid of you?

I respect you very much.

If you're not afraid of me,

that means you did all that for your Dou Dou then.

Dou Dou treats me well.

I can't let him down.

Chuan.

Come.

You can't be a beauty, if you're not one in the first place.

Let's make this fast.

Lord Jiu Yun asked us to set up more barriers behind.

That's enough.

We haven't slept for days.

I think Master is being too cautious.

It's not the first time The Dragon King wants to come.

You just came here, so you're unclear.

The sage realm is much more complex than the human realm.

If you want to be safe, you must listen to orders.

-Okay. -Let's have a look over there.

Who's there?

Sister, please don't shout.

I'm a servant in the Ningbi Temple.

I ended up here because I got lost.

Sister, how about you?

Me?

I came to the mountains to get some herbs.

I got lost as well.

Since we're in the same boat,

I think we should...

We have the same master! Break the mirror if you want to live!

What's wrong?

What's wrong?

What happened?

What happened?

I got lost in the mountains.

And I saw a woman in front of me.

I wanted to ask her for directions.

But I saw her true self through the mirror.

She's a seahorse! I'm scared!

She was hurt by the mirror.

I'm scared!

It's lucky that you're okay.

This is odd.

-Have you seen this spirit before? -No.

What happened?

Lord Jiu Yun is here.

I know what happened.

Master is living in seclusion.

I'm your current leader.

I'll handle this.

Lord Jiu Yun,

the Dragon King must've sent the Seahorse Spirit here as a spy.

It's a pity we couldn't capture her.

I'm afraid we'll have more spies among us.

I understand.

Go back now.

Let's leave.

This is too scary!

This is too scary!

I'm so scared!

-Hold it right there. -So scary!

I'm talking to you.

This is bad.

What do you mean?

I'm talking about the Seahorse Spirit just now.

She almost snucked in.

This is bad.

Looks like you're afraid of me.

Not at all.

I'm just panicking because I saw her corpse.

There's a crack.

I don't think the spirit can do that all by herself.

My lord, what do you mean?

Both you and the Seahorse Spirit...

can't escape the mirror trap alone.

You two were trapped. You panicked...

because you don't know the ability of the White Moon Mirror.

No. It's not like that.

The Seahorse Spirit broke the mirror by herself.

I'll do a demonstration.

-It's like this. -This is rare.

She destroyed an artifact from Mount Xiangqu all by herself?

I think she didn't do it on purpose.

Or someone may have tricked her.

Someone tricked her to break the mirror.

And assaulted her after that.

Wait, my lord. What do you mean?

I'm uneducated.

I don't understand what you mean.

But if you like to make things up, it's up to you.

I'll just follow your story.

Little Liar.

I will make you speechless.

Do you know that the vines...

only attack people that are going to the Temple of Artifacts?

I can smell your scent.

It's osmanthus oil.

My lord, you're maligning me now.

-I won't stand for this. -You won't stand for this?

This is yours, right?

Paper Magic Arts.

What are you trying to do in Mount Xiangqu?

Paper Magic Arts?

What is that? I never heard about it.

You have the same thing inside your clothes.

Do you want to take them out?

Or do you want me to search you?

My lord, did I offend you?

What did I do?

Can't I even make origami in the mountains?

If you don't like them, I'll just burn them.

My mother made that rabbit for me.

I'll stop teasing you.

I took this from you.

Since you've revealed the truth already,

I suppose I shouldn't ask you to keep lying to me.

You didn't manage to go to the temple.

I need to compensate you.

My lord, you can malign me.

You can bully me.

But I only have Dou Dou in my heart.

Little Liar.

You don't speak one bit of truth.

I suppose your Dou Dou...

is not on this mountain as well.

You can die if you want to.

But you can't see him anymore if you do so.

I was maligned. Now, I've lost my reputation.

I can't live anymore!

I...

I was maligned.

I lost my reputation as well.

I can't live anymore!

My goodness. What did I do to deserve this?

Why do I have to watch your awful play?

You, consider yourself unlucky.

Okay, rest now.

Yellow, don't bark at me. I don't have meat for you.

Yellow, are you angry?

I'll let you see the reflection of your dumb look.

Did you get hit in the head?

Dummy.

Yellow, where are you going?

I saw a beautiful lady just now.

She's beautiful.

Let's go and find her.

Lord Jiu Yun?

He's just an arrogant pervert.

You're back?

I heard that something is going on between you and Lord Jiu Yun.

I heard that you two...

I can smell your scent.

What kind of rumours did you hear?

The sisters in the garden all saw that.

Is Lord Jiu Yun interested in you?

He's a shameless crook.

I don't believe you.

He played such a gentle song with the flute.

I'm sure he's good.

He must be a gentle guy inside.

He treats us well, right?

Lady, can I kiss you?

Qin Chuan.

I think I did it better.

I called everyone here today...

because I wanted to remind you all to be wary at all times.

If you see anyone suspicious,

report to me immediately.

Yes.

Lord Jiu Yun.

Lord Jiu Yun.

Even you servants are chosen by us.

I hope you won't let others take advantage of this situation.

-Okay. -Yes.

Continue with your work.

Yes.

Little servant.

Lord Jiu Yun, Lady Qing Qing.

Did you think you can hide from me?

I don't believe you at all.

I've interrogated her. She's innocent.

I'm just scaring her.

I want her to know her own place as a servant.

If not, I'll hang her corpse up, just like the Seahorse Spirit.

That's enough.

Look, she's scared.

Come, let's go over there.

Someone thinks that nobody can see through her lies.

But she had revealed her lies without her noticing.

You're doomed.

Besides me, someone else is aiming for you right now.

Tell me.

Why are you here?

I don't have any motives.

I'm just...

My lord, please don't tease me anymore.

Little Liar,

I'm not the only one who's watching over you right now.

Just let me suffer a terrible fate then.

At most, they will hang my corpse at the door, right?

Before I know about your motives,

I won't give up that easily.

He's a sage?

He doesn't slay demons.

He just hides in the mountain and he flatters himself all day long.

And the people still treat him with utmost respect.

He should look at himself in the mirror.

I'll cut you up.

I'll cut you.

-This mirror... -That's mine!

Looks like I should keep a better watch on you.

Lord Jiu Yun, do you like to hold me that much?

You hurt your face.

Are the leaves so sharp?

I like your mirror.

I'll take it as a reward for saving you.

My lord, you are magnanimous.

Please return it to me.

My mother gave it to me.

Your mother gave you a lot of things.

She gave you the rabbit and this mirror as well?

Why do the mirror looks like...

Looks like...

It looks like...

Chuan.

Er Meng?

Listen, I'm furious.

Just now, that scoundrel in the kitchen said...

a married couple should have their first night together.

I don't understand what that means.

And he laughed at me.

I wanted to beat him up.

-I'll beat him up! -Stop it!

Go and greet Lord Jiu Yun.

Lord Jiu Yun.

You're handsome.

Since your husband is here,

I should leave now.

What is this?

Grass Aloe Ointment?

The words are so simple that...

I don't know them.

If you apply this ointment within eight hours,

your wounds will heal.

This ointment is infused with mystic arts.

You need to draw this rune on the wound for it to be effective.

Fu Jiu Yun, you're good for once.

Even if I leave a scar on my face,

I won't ever apply your ointment.
