"The Killing of Three Thousand Crows"

"Episode 30"

Jiu Yun?

Jiu Yun.

Jiu Yun.

Jiu Yun?

Fu Jiu Yun?

Jiu Yun?

Fu Jiu Yun?

You saved me once, I will repay your kindness.

You need blood to make a blood pact.

You and I are related kins.

If you can make the tribute,

so can I.

-Chuan! -Xuan Zhu!

This bamboo will be mine.

Fu Jiu Yun!

This bamboo will be ours from now on.

Even after our body perished,

our souls passed on to another lifetime,

our memories wiped away,

at least we know we were once here.

But when that happens,

I will be an old lady with grey hair.

Yet you will never age at all.

I will figure out a way...

to become a mortal...

and grow old by your side.

Qin Chuan, it's about to rain soon.

Go home.

What home?

The Namman Demon Lord cast a curse on you.

If we don't undo the curse,

you will only live for another year at best.

A year?

But I lost him.

I wish I could be with him on the other side.

Don't do that.

As long as you live on,

you might get to see him again.

See him again?

Yes, you heard it right.

It's not farewell,

it's seeing him once again.

To see your beloved Fu Jiu Yun.

The Spirit Lantern has been ignited.

How can I meet him again?

He wanted me to talk to you.

Otherwise how do I find you here?

So why won't he come here himself?

Jiu Yun is a sage reincarnated from the wick of Spirit Lantern.

The Spirit Lantern has been lighted up.

Which means his soul has been scattered.

But after some time,

he will gather his spiritual energy.

You are just giving me a false hope with no end to it.

You don't even know how long it would take.

Am I right?

I am telling you this...

because Fu Jiu Yun...

wanted me to find you before he went into slumber.

He wanted me to heal you and tell you.

Live on.

He can never leave you behind.

Wait for him to return.

I'll be waiting for you.

Little liar.

You are always full of lies.

What have I done wrong...

to deserve your lousy acting?

You promised you will recover and stop using magic!

What? Don't you want to be healed?

Don't be so bossy.

You are not my wife.

So the brightest of all wasn't the stars,

it was your lantern.

The brightest of all...

are your eyes.

Have you ever,

even just once,

wished you could change the destiny of someone?

Yes.

Chuan.

I am in love with you.

You are my favourite little servant.

I knew it.

My skill at medication is always on point.

There is no way you would have died.

Have a sip.

Let's celebrate the breaking of your curse.

Celebrate for your recovery!

What is this thing?

It's a potion of course.

What else could it be?

You shouldn't drink so much.

You haven't been sober for one whole year.

I am not sober.

I am intoxicating myself.

That is all thanks to your constant nagging about...

Bridge to the Afterlife and River of Forgetfulness.

Those are so mushy.

This is the bamboo forest...

I moved all the way from Mount Phoenix.

You should just wait patiently...

for his return.

What is the meaning of that?

You don't believe me?

Jiu Yun told me to tell you to wait for him.

He will certainly return.

Wait for him...

to gather his energy and take his human form.

Take his human form.

The wick of Spirit Lantern is lost.

Is there any pieces of his soul left?

Uncle Mei Shan.

You can stop lying to me.

I've given it a long thought after all this time.

You want me to have the will to live because...

Because Jiu Yun wanted me to live.

He wanted me...

to experience the meaning of life.

But he didn't realize...

that a world without him by my side...

is a world without any meaning to me.

That is not true.

He will be back.

He will be back!

If he would be back,

why do you choose to intoxicate yourself?

That's because I like drinking.

-I like... -Even if he is coming back,

why do you often cry when you are alone?

I...

Because you know the truth!

You know it.

Fu Jiu Yun is not coming back.

He is not coming back.

Curse that Fu Jiu Yun.

You have my word...

I will make you pay for this.

Don't ever come home if you dare!

He is not coming back.

I will wait for you no more.

I won't wait for you.

Boss, two pancakes.

Okay.

Hot steaming buns!

I'll have two.

Come, try it out.

Do you like the taste?

Steamed buns!

Boss, two more pancakes.

Okay.

Because of observation from the emptiness,

Because of observation from the emptiness,

one will notice the wonder within.

one will notice the wonder within.

Because of observation from luxury,

Because of observation from luxury,

one will notice the shortcoming.

one will notice the shortcoming.

The nation perishes, its land remains.

The nation perishes, its land remains.

Zi Chen, what's wrong?

Madam Qiu Hua.

It's nothing.

These are the clothes I've washed for the children.

Will you hand these out for me?

Thank you, Madam Qiu Hua.

"Clock".

-And this? -"Drum".

Good, you got them right.

Do you know the word?

How about this word?

"Kindness".

-What? -"Kindness".

What did he say?

"Kindness".

"Kindness".

Good, how about this word?

"Up".

Okay. Don't tell me. Let him answer.

Will you tell me what the word is?

What is this word?

"Down".

Correct. What about this word?

Clean this place up, hurry up!

Have a seat upstairs.

Goodbye.

Come upstairs, please.

What are you staring at?

It's nothing. Serve our customers.

Waiter, where is my wine?

Please, welcome upstairs.

Your Majesty, you should get some rest.

The work is taking a toll on you. Ever since your coronation,

you barely sleep well.

I am fine.

Your Majesty, what's wrong?

On Mount Xiangqu,

we can have a normal and peaceful life.

-With whom? -With you.

Who says I am your wife?

Finish your medicine.

Yes, as you wish.

My wife.

You!

So you can have no worry,

and no battle to fight.

Just lie in my arms,

just like this moment we share.

We will have so many children together to help us out.

From now on,

we'll become a couple...

that makes the people envy.

Jiu Yun.

Chuan!

Chuan.

Father!

My dear Yan Yan.

What happened?

My child, it's just a flu.

-Father! Mother! -Remember.

You are the Princess of Li.

You can't be a crybaby.

All right.

I am not Yan Yan!

She must have had an awful nightmare.

-I am not Yan Yan. -Don't cry.

Tell me,

what evil demon came into your dream?

She is not feeling well, don't scare her again.

An old man told me my name is Chuan.

-You are Chuan? -That I am starting a new life.

-What bizarre dream is that? -I don't want to leave my parents!

Has the fever got to her brain?

You are safe now.

Don't cry.

All right.

Hurry up.

Yan Yan, slow down. Wait for me.

Your Highness.

Sister.

You've been acting so strange lately.

It's been a long time since we last met.

I miss you.

You are full of flattery lately.

My mother said you've grown up,

that you are an adult.

But I think otherwise.

Are you up to some monkey business again?

I really like you and Aunty a lot.

I am saying it from the bottom of my heart.

Yan Yan, Miss Xuan Zhu.

Let me introduce to you the prodigy I often mention.

He is the son of Chancellor Zuo, Zuo Zi Chen.

Zi Chen, this is my younger sister Yan Yan.

This is my elder sister Xuan Zhu.

It's an honour to meet you, my Princesses.

Your reputation precedes you.

It's a pleasure to finally meet you in person.

-Have a seat. -Sister, have a seat.

Zi Chen has many talents.

He is the best musician around.

The saying goes...

Not the slightest error can escape his ear.

Right! Which is why I've asked Zi Chen...

to test his skill against yours.

That won't be necessary.

In that case, I am not interested.

I am going back inside.

Yan Yan.

Mind your manners.

You are ruining the image of the royal family.

Sit down and behave.

Our father wants Zi Chen to teach us literature.

I am just asking him to show some guidance on music.

Do you know how hard it was to persuade him?

Brother, you know how it goes.

Miss Xuan Zhu here is best musician...

in our whole family.

I am not interested at all.

Besides,

All those talents and arts of the elites...

never pique my interest at all.

I am a girl, all I need is to stay pretty.

I won't bother any more of your time. I have tonnes of new dresses to try.

I have to go now. Goodbye.

Yan Yan...

Zi Chen, I hope you are not offended.

My sister is just too playful.

Your Highness, not at all.

Your Highness.

Your Highness, you are back.

Ah Man.

What's wrong?

Ah Man.

Your Highness, my name is Cui.

Cui.

That Eastern Peach Blossom Song I played yesterday,

I could play it yesterday, why don't I remember it now?

How should I know?

That song I just mentioned...

What was it called again?

Eastern...

Your Highness, don't make it hard for me.

This is about music,

of course I don't remember it.

A Pipa.

Yan Yan.

A pipa.

Yan Yan?

What's wrong?

What are you staring at?

You were even mumbling something.

Mumbling?

Did I say something?

I think you mentioned pipa.

Pipa?

There is no pipa in this painting.

That doesn't make any sense. You must have heard it wrong.

This painting is yours now.

Yan Yan...

What's wrong? Why are you crying?

This is odd. Why am I crying?

Your Highness!

Princess, what's wrong?

What's wrong?

There was a man in white in my dream.

A man in white?

Was it a nightmare?

No, he wasn't terrifying.

So why were you crying?

He told me that...

He told me...

I was about to forget him.

But I can't remember who he is!

Yet I know I've seen him before.

Hush.

Don't cry.

Don't cry.

Your Highness.

It was just a dream.

Just a dream.

Long live the Emperor!

At ease.

Much obliged, Your Majesty.

Today is the celebration of your birthday.

So I decided to let you meet someone on the court.

Who is it?

He is the Crown Prince of Tian Yuan.

He is your future son-in-law.

Are you sure?

Certainly.

Summon him.

The Crown Prince of Tian Yuan is summoned to His Majesty!

I am Ting Yuan the Crown Prince of Tian Yuan.

It's an honour, Your Majesties.

Yan Yan, why are you standing in daze?

My father gathered these...

from the four corners of the world.

These are our wedding gifts.

Do you like it?

That is...

A gift from the Master of Mount Xiangqu.

They are just paintings, nothing special.

I don't even know why he sent them.

Was that you?

Chuan.
