"The Killing of Three Thousand Crows"

"Episode 6"

Lord Jiu Yun, enjoy your tea.

Come here, Chuan. Have a look.

Master Zuo is really good at writing.

Honestly,

I've never read the article he wrote.

I am glad we didn't get far with this topic last night.

Otherwise, I wouldn't know what to talk about.

Chuan.

Come here.

What you said last night had my attention.

So I decided to reward you.

I'll feed you with this tea.

But before that,

I have one question.

Are you really not going?

I am loyal to Lord Jiu Yun alone.

What I said spoke for my mind.

Are you sure?

I am sure.

Chuan, look.

The tea leaf is floating on the water.

It seems to be above the water.

But the truth is otherwise.

The water can make it float, but it will also sink the leaf.

The leaf must learn to behave.

But it must never forget the water's capability.

Lord Jiu Yun, I just remembered something.

What is it?

You mentioned you are going to give me a painting.

Is the painting finished?

You never forget getting your presents.

What's wrong?

Why are you staring at me?

I can't stand you.

I haven't drawn any painting in a long time.

But you promised me a long time ago.

Do you really think I would forget that?

I told you, I am not in the mood for painting.

-Come on, you promised me. -I said I am not in the mood.

He said he is not in the mood.

See? Even Chuan knows I am not in the mood.

I...

I didn't do anything wrong, why are you so mad at me?

Fine.

Off you go.

You'll get your painting someday.

All right, be good.

Fu Jiu Yun,

I am not in the mood to serve you.

What an arrogant and hypocritical sage.

It's getting on my nerve.

That old dragon...

actually wanted to challenge me?

He should have known better.

That is true.

Any single trinket from the Temple of Artifacts...

is enough to make the Dragon King curse with jealousy.

Do you know...

what is the most valuable treasure of the whole Mount Xiangqu?

I do not know.

It's that painting.

Who exactly is the guy, Master Qi...

who drew this painting?

How could anyone be so talented?

Master, you've never mentioned this treasure before.

Xuan Zhu just presented it to me.

All because of her beloved boyfriend.

Jiu Yun.

Ever since that servant came,

you've been ignoring me.

You even got mad at me for no reason.

Why? Does that upset you?

Have a drink if you are upset.

Drink the worries away.

I heard that...

Master Zuo visited us last night.

Why was he here?

He was...

He was requesting for Chuan be his servant instead.

That silly and lousy servant now gains everyone's attention?

What is going on with you people?

What did Master Zuo say to you?

I came visiting Lord Jiu Yun and Miss Qin Chuan...

because I have a request to make.

Miss Qin Chuan and I...

get along very well.

I was hoping Lord Jiu Yun would allow me to have her instead.

Please let her serve in my house.

Judging by that,

Master Zuo and that servant must have some kind of relationship.

Jiu Yun, what do you think?

What do I think?

What I think is not your concern.

Get back to your work.

You yelled at me again.

Chuan.

If you couldn't let it go,

why are you in such a hurry...

to get away from your blind past lover?

Chuan.

If you wish to be with Master Zuo,

you are free to go.

My Lord, the thought never crosses my mind.

I am here to serve you out of my devotion to you.

Master Zuo lost his sight.

And you rejected him last night.

That must be hard on him.

I wouldn't know.

But I like to be here.

I am not going anywhere.

Is he nice to you?

I won't be here tonight.

You'll be all alone in here.

Behave while you are here.

I mean,

I am never short on servants.

But since Master Zuo needs one,

perhaps you should go.

Xin Mei is here!

What was that for? You scared me.

Why are you here in the middle of the night?

What else would I come for? Let's drink.

But we had a drink last night.

Besides, look at the time.

Now is not the time for a drink. Go back to sleep.

Even Lord Mei Shan would refuse a drink sometimes?

-I am not drinking. -You are not drinking?

I am not drinking.

Are you sure?

I would rather die before I have a drink with you.

Cheers!

Drink your worries away!

Miss Chuan.

I just received a bad news.

How could Lord Jiu Yun abandon you so heartlessly?

We may not have spent much time together,

but I do like you a lot.

Remember to visit me after you left.

I will miss you very much.

Let me help you out one last time.

But you don't really have to visit us.

Just stay and take care of Master Zuo there.

Tell me.

After so many years,

have I changed somehow?

Look at me now,

when have I ever got myself drunk because of that woman?

After all these years, you are still talking about your beloved Xin Mei.

No.

We are in the same situation.

I would not take you for...

You should not take me for...

No,

you should not think that I...

do not know why you wish to intoxicate yourself.

You know?

You know everything?

The royal family of Li,

and all the people of Li were slaughtered.

Even with his eyes,

it's far from enough to pay for his father's crime.

-I do not blame her. -You are a victim as well.

She has no right to vent her anger on you.

You've hurt him once.

If you truly love him,

please show him some mercy.

From now on,

Zi Chen and I will be strangers.

We will never see each other again.

The world may be vast,

but where exactly do I belong?

Chuan.

What brings you here?

Me?

I couldn't sleep.

So I came to see you.

Chuan,

why are you staring at the pond?

Er Meng, tell me,

why must life be so hard on us?

Life?

I shouldn't ask you that.

I don't think life is hard at all.

I never forget why I came to Mount Xiangqu.

I want to make more money.

So my aunt could matchmake me with a wife.

Your goal is rather simple.

Chuan, listen.

In this world we live in,

you can only achieve something when you have a simple goal.

If you wish to achieve everything at once,

you will forget what you were fighting for at the beginning.

Is that so?

Chuan.

Why did you come to Mount Xiangqu?

Please, teach me your sorcery.

Help me search for the Spirit Lantern.

Help me avenge my nation,

save the people of Li.

I will never forget my goal.

Never.

Look.

There are hundred, or even thousands of sacred mountains.

Indeed.

So why did she choose to Mount Xiangqu of all?

Why is that?

She is here for you.

She is here for me?

How could you laugh about it?

Good, well said.

That is absurd!

Your fate is going to change,

you can't run from a disaster, brother.

If the disaster is already here, why bother running from it?

Mei Shan.

Now that I found her,

I will not allow her to suffer again.

Come.

After this drink,

we roam the earth until it sinks!

-Cheers! -Cheers!

Chuan, I am back.

Did you behave while I am gone?

Chuan.

Lord Jiu Yun, you are back.

I am back.

Where is Chuan?

I sent her away, far from us.

Who said she could leave?

-You said so. -I...

I said that?

Indeed, I said so.

And how does that have anything to do with you?

It was you who chased her out, why are you blaming me?

She actually left.

Oh no.

I never thought...

the Temple of Artifacts was your goal all along.

Chuan.

How naughty of you.

Master, stop beating around the bush.

I am not beating around the bush.

With your wit, you should have guessed by now.

-Try harder. -You have countless treasure.

Pardon my ignorance, I don't have any idea.

Besides, this is to repay Xuan Zhu for her gift to you.

Why should I be guessing?

Come here.

I know very well.

All this time,

you have taken care of all the affairs here...

and made sure everything go well...

on this sacred mountain.

If it wasn't for you, I couldn't have the time...

to mentor all these apprentices.

Abandoning the old...

and being biased...

are something I will never do to you.

Those are merely part of my job.

My good student, come.

Pick a present.

How do you feel?

I have heard about the treasure both you and the Dragon King possess.

This is an eye opener for me.

The Dragon King couldn't even dream to match your wealth.

You could say so.

Go on, whatever you like,

just take it.

Master, there are so many items in here.

I don't know where to start.

Don't be hasty, take your time.

Lord Jiu Yun.

You came to rescue me.

Where are we now?

Don't talk.

My student,

are you going to pick that Infinity Pouch?

That pouch is too ordinary.

Aim for something greater.

Master, you are right.

I'll have a look somewhere else.

That's more like it.

Father.

Mother.

I have failed to cleanse this world of demons.

Spirit Lantern.

How was it Qing Qing? Are you satisfied?

Are you going to miss these treasures?

For you, I would do anything.

I am flattered, Master.

What happened? Why is she hurt so badly?

-Open the door. -Yes.

Don't let anyone in. Close the door.

Yes.

So, it's Master Zuo and Sister Xuan Zhu.

I didn't expect your visit.

I am sorry for the intrusion.

I know you came for Chuan's reply.

But today,

she can't meet any guests.

Master Zuo, please come again another day.

So Miss Qin Chuan is inside the house.

Lord Jiu Yun did tell me that...

he will give me an answer today. So...

She went out. Please come again later.

Then, I shall await her return.

I told you she can't meet any guests.

You'll meet her when she is ready.

Zi Chen, let's go back.

I said I would wait for her return.

I don't care what her answer is.

But I must hear it from her today.

Why are you being so persistent?

Let them in.

Let's go.

Miss Qin Chuan.

I have some knowledge in healing.

Let me read your pulse.

Master Zuo.

I have order my man to brew some medicine for her.

The medical sages on our mountain...

have tended to her wounds.

Lord Jiu Yun.

What happened to her after I left last night?

Nothing happened.

Zi Chen, we should go.

She is hurt!

And her injury is severe.

What evil would do this to her?

It was me.

This servant tore my clothes while washing it.

I wished I could just kill her.

A mere beating is considered merciful.

It wasn't you!

It was me.

How about that?

I am the Great Disciple of Mount Xiangqu.

I merely beat my servant, but I didn't take her life.

What is wrong with that?

Xuan Zhu.

This is the sage you seek help from.

Fu Jiu Yun.

You said you would respect the decision of this servant.

Are you planning on torturing her?

Indeed.

She was lying to me.

She talked about loyalty to me,

but in her heart,

she couldn't wait to serve in your house.

How do you know her thoughts?

I guess.

Curse you.

Master Zuo.

You came from noble bloodline yourself.

Haven't you seen...

how a master punishes his slave?

Slave?

Such a disrespectful name.

Fair enough,

if you could be a Slayer of Master,

torturing a servant is harmless in your eyes.

Xuan Zhu, let's go.

I don't want to stay here for another second.

Bai, see them out.

This way, please.

Even Master Zuo has his eyes on that servant.

Really?

Master Zuo and Xuan Zhu were visiting Lord Jiu Yun.

Did Lord Jiu Yun send her over?

I heard that...

the servant has been sleeping with Lord Jiu Yun!

I am not sure.

What is so special about that servant?

Mind your tongues or I will pluck them out!

-Dismiss. -Yes.

It seems like that girl...

is no ordinary person.

Fu Jiu Yun...

is the Great Disciple of Mount Xiangqu.

But he is nothing but cunning and hypocritical.

We are the respected guests of his Master.

How dare he be so rude to us.

This is outrageous.

I had thought...

the rumours about him slaying his master were mere nonsense.

But judging by the look,

it's not entirely impossible.

I'll report to the Master tomorrow.

I'll get an explanation.

I am leaving.

Not just the sages,

everything on this mountain disgusts me.

Please hear me out.

We will leave after your eyes are healed.

That is all we will ask for help.

Xuan Zhu,

are you sure you can stay...

on Mount Xiangqu any longer?

You can stop lying to me now.

Ever since this morning,

several people had called you Lady Xuan Zhu.

Did you become an apprentice of the Master...

just to please him to treat my eyes?

Yes.

You shouldn't have done it.

Losing my sight is my own burden to bear.

A mere Mount Xiangqu...

is not worthy of your sacrifice.

Jiu Yun, over here.

Over here.

-Over here. -If you have so much time,

bring me the swan feather blanket on my bed.

Are you going to look after her?

What's wrong with that?

I was going to tell you, but I can't hold it any more.

I can see that. What is it?

She is a dangerous spy.

You can't let her get away so easily.

I see.

After she went to the forbidden ground,

she came right back.

The Temple of Artifacts...

is right at the forbidden ground.

So?

I remember it now.

It was her.

It was her.

She hit my head.

It was really her?

Curse you lowly servant.

You were clearly a princess,

but you use an alias and came to Mount Xiangqu.

Do you think no one would recognize you?

I am the all-seeing mirror!

Jiu Yun,

are you planning on waking her up...

and interrogate her?

Yes, I need her awake.

But now...

is not the time to interrogate her.

I have greater plan at work.

I need her for a couple more days.

I have use of her.

I knew it!

I knew you have something up in your sleeves.

Once she is awake,

be sure to torture her for my payback.

For my revenge.

For your revenge.

Zi Chen.

Are you hurt?

Zi Chen.

I brew this tea specially for you.

See if you like the flavour.

Do you like the tea?

Wolfberry, chrysanthemum, mulberry leaves,

sicklepod and mint.

These are all herbs to improve eye sight.

You never stop reminding me that I am blind.

Lady Qing Qing arrives!

Come in.

Greetings, Lady Qing Qing.

Sister Xuan Zhu.

Master Zuo.

Make yourself at home.

The view of sunset here is pleasant,

the morning glory flowers of Jade Garden are blooming.

I would like to invite you to join me on flower viewing...

at the Jade Garden. Will you join me?

-I... -Morning glory flowers are majestic.

And we are in the sages' paradise.

So these are no ordinary flowers.

If I still had my sight,

I would love to see it.

Do not refuse the kind offer of Lady Qing Qing.

Go on.

Master Zuo is right.

I wish to have some peace on my own.

Let's go then.

Sure.

You are awake.

Drink the medicine.

How did I get here?

You don't remember anything?

I only remember...

the last place we're at was covered in white.

Let me tell you...

what you've done last night.

You were collecting fruits in the woods as per my order.

You got lost in the woods...

and accidentally fell off the slope.

Then, you lost consciousness.

Is that clear?

You are really...

a sloppy servant.

All right, rest well and heal.

-I am going to get some rest. -Fu Jiu Yun!

-Insolence! -I was at the Temple of Artifacts.

I got hurt while stealing things there.

Why did you save me?

Why are you covering it up for me?

You followed my order last night...

and went collecting fruits in the woods.

You were lost...

-and accidentally fell off the slope. -I want to know the truth.

It's better that you don't know.

Tell me...

Why?

Because...

you are my favourite little servant.
