The Journey of Flower - (Hua Qian Gu)

Episode 5

Hua Qian Gu,

the real difficulties are at the back.

Greetings to Honorable Superior.

All rise up.

All of their backgrounds have been checked clearly?

Reply to Honorable Superior, all have been checked clearly.

There are a total of eleven people.

It should be twelve people.

There was another added.

Come in.

Disciple Meng Xuan Lang greets Three Honorables.

This is Chang Liu's special recruit of the year.

As this year's twelfth disciple,

Shi Yi, give him some arrangements.

Yes.

-You stand there. -Alright.

This is my first time hearing that is a special recruit.

Now even Chang Liu is trending walking of backdoors (Meaning to get in with influence or riches.)

What background does this Meng Xuan Lang have?

I, as Peng Lai Sect Leader's daughter, still have to participate in the exams.

Why does he get to be the exception?

But this Meng Xuan Lang has great looks and auras.

Chang Liu's new disciples step forward.

Sect Leader to give out Temple Wood.

One by one to step forward.

Drip your blood into Test of Life Stone.

Test of Life Stone?

Let me say, each of Chang Liu's disciples

when entering the Sect needs to drip their blood on Test of Life Stone. This way

Test of Life Stone will remember your identity and history

to prevent spies to enter the Sect. Secondly,

if anything bad happens to you guys, Test of Life Stone will give out a warning.

That way, the Sect Leader can send others to help you.

If your Test of Life Stone's light has diminished,

then I don't have to elaborate.

First person, Meng Xuan Lang.

Hua Qian Gu.

Since you have all entered Chang Liu,

you should follow Chang Liu's rules.

If you make any mistakes,

- you'll be severely punished. - We understand.

I still have one thing to announce.

The Sect Leader will accept one stay-in disciple this year.

Whoever wants to be Chang Liu's Sect Leader's first disciple,

has to double the effort and win at the Immortal Sword Assembly.

-Do you understand? -Understood!

Senior Brother, I have my own plans for recruiting a student.

Why did you decide for me?

Zi Hua,

you know the Sect Leader's rules that have been passed down for generations.

I don't care if you were willful in the past,

but now you are Chang Liu's Sect Leader.

You must carry the responsibility of glorifying Chang Liu.

Senior Brother Sect Leader, worrying too much harms your body.

The matter of taking in student is not urgent. Wait a while, wait a while.

No way. This matter cannot be dragged any longer.

Sect Leader's first student must be settled as fast as possible.

Chang Liu's matters can have another person to help you to shoulder.

Ni Qian Zhang's daughter, Ni Man Tian's immortality potential seems to be not bad.

Fated calamity is neither a disaster nor a misfortune.

Whether you resolve it and get rid of misfortune,

it all depends on your choice.

Zi Hua's Test of Life Stone is neutral.

At that time, it will give out a warning

Be more gentle! It hurts.

What medicine is this? It is more painful than Three Life Pool's water.

Change a medicine. In the cabinet are all Peng Lai's miraculous medicines.

Bear it with a while. Senior Brother Shi Yi said before

Three Life Pool's water is more special,

it will leave a scar.

This kind of medicine, although it is more painful

but it will be healed after a while and it doesn't leave a scar.

Qian Gu, about Three Life Pool's water,

why do you have no reaction at all?

I don't know either, there is only a little difference with the Heartless pond water.

When bathing in the other pool's water, it is very comfortable.

I am thristy. Pour some water for me.

Alright.

For the first two tests,

you are already falling behind.

For this test, you increased your points greatly.

Those elders looked at you differently now.

But you must be careful.

Careful about what?

Of course, careful of people jealous of you, isolating you and harming you secretly.

How is that possible?

Why is it not possible?

Think about it, Elders favor you so much.

So everyone is envious and jealous of you.

Plus, you have no reaction to Three Life Pool.

To say it nicely, you have no desires or greed.

To say it badly, you are too simple-minded.

If they don't bully you, who would they bully?

Everyone is from the same sect, they wouldn't do that.

Be careful, it's hot.

You will know in the future.

Although, we cannot have a scheming heart,

but we cannot not have a careful heart.

If you only know how to treat others nicely, you will be bullied.

But it is still alright. You have me by your side to protect you.

Yes. Luckily, I have you to protect me.

In ancient history, the Demon Deity appeared.

It harmed all the people.

Every Deities worked together to seal it.

The Demon soul is sealed inside the Ten Deity Devices.

It is to let the Demon Deity, whether in heavens or earth,

to be neither dead or alive with no way out.

Scattered in ten parts of the world,

assuming the shape of a Deity Device.

To prevent the Deity Devices from being gathered again,

for the Demon Deity to revive,

each Sect is to protect Deity Devices as their utmost priority.

No one is to be relaxed even if thousands or tens of thousands of years have passed.

So, the Ten Deity Devices are so important.

Mount Zu was massacred because of it.

Taoist Qing Xu died because of it too.

Little Bone, what are you doing?

I am memorizing the formula that Senior Brother Shi Yi taught us yesterday.

I am worried that when I go up, I might forget due to nervousness.

Then, you slowly memorize.

I bet that Sect Leader's first student would be Ni Man Tian!

I bet that Honorable Superior will take Shuo Feng as his student.

If you lose, you are going to run ten rounds around Chang Liu Mountain!

- If I were to win, you are to roll around Chang Liu Mountain for five rounds! -Deal!

I think Sect Leader's first student

would be him.

-Morning! -Morning!

He is Chang Liu's special student.

His strength cannot be underestimated too.

Meng Xuan Lang.

In the eight Sects, which sect are you from? Who are you to not need to be tested to enter Chang Liu.

I...I am not from any sect. I am just an ordinary mortal.

No way.

Many powerful people want to enter Chang Liu but were eliminated.

Really? So Chang Liu Mountain is so impressive!

Stop playing dumb! Whatever skills you have, show me some of it.

Peng Lai's Ni Man Tian, please teach me.

No. No. No. I will never fight with a weak lady.

You!

Senior Brother Shi Yi is here!

Everyone line up!

Today's first lesson,

we will start with the basics of Fly With The Sword.

We need to dictate out loud to let the sword to rise up.

Everyone come here,

take a wooden sword.

Hua Qian Gu.

Senior Brother Shi Yi, why is this sword so heavy?

This is Sea Pavilion Wood, it only grows in the sea and is heavier than metal.

Then, can this sword fly up?

Everyone remember the formula?

Use your willpower to control the wooden sword.

You must gather all your mental strength and cannot be distracted.

Read the formula out in your heart. Does everyone understand?

-Understand-Alright.

Let's take turns to try.

Shuo Feng, you first.

How cool!

You can't even control a wooden sword.

I thought that you would have powerful skills.

I really don't know how you entered Chang Liu.

Whatever Tian, I have never said that I had powerful skills.

Plus, this small wooden sword is not difficult for me.

Alright, then I want to see how you make a fool out of yourself.

You said you are a ordinary mortal and your skills are so bad, why do you still try to be an immortal?

Little Wu. I wager she won't be able to lift it before the Immortal Sword Assembly.

I don't think so.

I think that by the Immortal Sword Assembly, she'll be able to lift the wooden sword.

This is what you said. Then, let's bet.

If you lose, you wash my dirty clothes for a month.

If I win, you will bring food for me for a month!

The two of you don't bother to practice and start talking nonsense. Be careful of being punished.

Scare me to death! Since when did Miss Ni Man Tian think of others?

Tomorrow's sun will rise from the west.

Shut up! When you beat a dog, you have to look at it's owner.

What right do you have to bully Hua Qian Gu?

So, Hua Qian Gu is a dog that you raised.

Miss Ni.

Tell me, are you trying to oppose me, or are you trying to oppose me?

Who are you?

Oh, it's you.

What are you doing here?

I'm trying to catch crickets.

Why don't you play with me?

Who would play with you?

I still have to practice my swordsmanship.

Your name is Hua Qian Gu right?

What about it?

My name is Meng Xuan Lang. Anyway, the both of us can be counted as suffering together.

You don't need to be so serious.

Can it be that you would like to also become Sect Leader's disciple?

I...

Anyway, since I have decided to come to Chang Liu to find a teacher and learn,

I need to practice swordsmanship and work hard to become immortal.

It's not like I was willing to come

to come to Chang Liu Mountain to learn to become an immortal.

Then why did you come?

If it wasn't for my imperial fa...

My father.

My father forced me to come.

Besides, I felt like coming to Chang Liu Mountain as it is a chance to leave that annoying place.

If not, people would follow me everywhere I go.

How about you?

What is your reason for coming to Chang Liu Mountain to train?

Me?

I actually came for a person.

Is this person really important to you?

Even though we only knew each other for three days,

he is the only other person besides my father

that was willing to protect me.

He was also the only one to treat me as a friend.

Since it is like that,

why did you guys go separate ways?

He didn't say anything

and just left.

Later on, I heard that he was in Chang Liu.

So I came to look for him.

But no matter what I do, I cannot find him.

Do you think that it is foolish of me to do this?

It cannot be considered as foolish.

I think, for your friend to leave,

he must have had his own reasons.

Instead on living in the past, why not find yourself a goal to follow?

What do you think?

That's why I believe in what he said,

if it is meant to be, we will meet again.

Right now, I only want to focus on my training.

So I would be able to protect myself and not burden others.

Do you really not have any ambition?

For me, simplicity is the best.

As long as I am happy, people around me will also be happy.

What you said makes sense.

I will practice my swordsmanship with you right now.

Tomorrow, we will let other students know how good we are!

Come. Let's go.

Qian Gu.

I went to the library archives and did an investigation.

Within Chang Liu's eight thousand disciples, there's not one named Mo Bing.

Not even one?

Nope.

I've even checked the disciples that have passed away. There really isn't such a person.

How can that be?

That person said that once I enter to Chang Liu Mountain, I would be able to see him.

Qian Gu,

does he use an alias?

Tell me what he looks like.

I may have an impression of him.

He...

He...

I don't remember what he looks like.

How can you not remember?

Maybe it is really like what he said.

If it is fate then we will meet again.

Senior Brother Shi Yi,

I'm sorry for troubling you.

It's no problem. Qian Gu,

You don't have to be courteous with me. We're fellow disciples.

Where's Tang Bao?

Where has Tang Bao gone to?

Tang Bao?

Tang Bao is now at the dormitory playing with Qing Shui.

Then I will look for her another time.

Have a good rest.

Thank you, Senior Brother Shi Yi.

Is Brother Mo really in Chang Liu?

If he is here,

he would probably be living in... the western hall.

Brother Mo!

Brother Mo!

Who are you calling?

Greetings to Honorable Superior.

Honorable Superior, I made a mistake.

I mistook you for a friend I'm looking for.

So...

You have just entered Chang Liu. How could you have a friend here?

He... He's here.

I know he's definitely here.

You came to Chang Liu for the sake of seeing him?

How would you know he'd be here?

Lord Strange Decay told me.

But if your friend isn't at Chang Liu,

would you or would you not leave Chang Liu?

I wouldn't.

At the time, I did come to Chang Liu for him,

but after coming here,

I realized that I've come to like Chang Liu.

I've come to know many friends.

I'm very happy.

Chang Liu is like home to me.

If I were to leave, I would become all alone again.

I hope that I can stay here forever.

Why do you wish to see that person?

Why do you persist to?

Yes.

As long as I know he's living well,

whether I see him or not... it's not that important anymore.

I have already taught you the Fly with the Sword's formula.

Most of you have learnt to manipulate the wooden sword.

Next, we will really fly with the sword.

That's great! We can finally fly!

But I practiced for so long before I could raise the wooden sword.

Let's practice hard!

Hua Qian Gu!

Meng Xuan Lang!

You two move aside. Strengthen your skills on the basics of the Immortal Sword technique first.

Qian Gu, you try it first.

Work hard! Work hard! Qian Gu! Fly! Fly!

Focus your thoughts again.

Fly!

That's all right.

We'll try it again.

One, two, three!

Start!

Work hard!

Work hard!

Fly! Fly!

Fly-Ah!

- That's okay. Take a break.- I can't do it anymore.

I'll give it a go.

Qian Gu, the practice is working!

I can make the wooden sword fly!

That's awesome!

Why can't I do it?

Rise! Rise!

Greetings, Honorable Superior.

Greetings, Honorable Superior!

All rise up.

Thank you, Honorable Superior.

Honorable Superior, what did you come here for?

I'm here to watch our newly admitted disciples.

How is their practice coming along?

Today, they're practicing Fly with the Sword.

This batch of students have good basics. They've learnt it all.

Huo Xi, fly for Honorable Superior to see.

Yes!

Honorable Superior, I'll do it.

You!

You!

Me?

Try Fly with the Sword.

Replying to Honorable Superior,

this wooden sword is too heavy.

I still can't control it.

This is just a regular wooden sword.

Try and see if you can lift it.

That's enough!

In a month's time, if you haven't learnt Fly with the Sword,

leave Chang Liu.

Honorable Superior, I will definitely learn it!

These logs, split them all with your hands.

No one may help her.

That's too difficult.

This is stupid!

She can't continue on like this.

Brother Meng, don't go!

If you go, Qian Gu will be punished even more.

Let's go!

This...

Qian Gu,

why are you so serious?

Aren't you in pain?

It doesn't hurt.

Mother Bones,

you're too pitiful!

Doesn't it hurt? I'll blow it for you.

Let your Mother Bones sleep for a while.

Honorable Superior is a scoundrel!

He mistreats Mother!

Honorable Superior is just training Qian Gu to concentrate her energy.

Otherwise Qian Gu will be chased out of Chang Liu.

Remember, all people in this world are able to practice immortality,

but you must pass a few stages before gaining immortality.

They are,

Basic Understanding.

Listening.

Broken Hope.

Profound Knowledge.

Once you've passed the stage of Profound Knowledge,

your eyes will be sharp

and your ears keen.

To the extent that

you can hear the sound of the other party's heart.

You slept well.

What's your name?

I'm sorry, Honorable Teacher.

I'm disciple Hua Qian Gu.

Hua Qian Gu.

Seems like you know everything. You have no need to listen to me teach class.

Since that's the case, let me test you.

You introduce each sect's Temple Objects which represent their identity.

Six Temple Objects. What's that?

Yun Duan, do you know?

I don't know.

You can't answer.

If you can't answer, transcribe this book thirty times.

Good thing I read the Complete Book of the Six Kingdoms.

To answer Honorable Teacher,

They are Temple Feather,

Temple Jade, Temple Rock, Temple Flower,

Temple Bell, Temple Wood.

Seems like you do know a lot.

Today, I intended to give you

a lesson on history.

Seems like I don't need to talk about it.

You can tell everyone.

Honorable Teacher,

I don't know it!

Honorable Teacher, please teach us.

Just say whatever you know.

Chang Liu, since its first day,

has existed for 2283 years,

making it the greatest Sect.

Chang Liu Mountain originally located at the Far West,

but to resist the influence of the Seven Murder Faction

great power has been used to move the mountain to East Sea.

At the beginning, Seven Murder Faction and Chang Liu were allies.

But because the sect founder gathered all other sects,

to work together in sealing the Great Desolate Energy Force,

the second Sect Leader, with his great power,

named himself the Holy Ruler,

discussed with the other sects and hoped to gather the Ten Deity Devices,

to release the Great Desolate Energy Force.

Each Sect Leader thought that the Great Desolate Energy Force

is too strong. If it was held by one person, it cannot be controlled.

However,

However,

However what?

Seven Murder's Holy Ruler plotted

to use oneself power to release the seal.

Other sects sent people to kill Seven Murder's Holy Ruler.

They joined forces and also strangled the other numerous disciples.

The Seven Murder Faction and the other sects,

in the end, became hostile with each other and attacked each other.

Shut your mouth! What nonsense!

Who'd have thought we'd be connected to the Seven Murder Faction.

I didn't know either.

You!

You dared to fabricate information.

You've slandered Chang Liu's innocence.

I must hand you over to the Three Honorables to handle you.

Come with me!

Honorable Teacher!

Qian Gu! Qian Gu!

Brother Meng, don't be rash. Let's look at the situation first.

How dare you, Hua Qian Gu!

You actually dare to spout nonsense in class,

ruining Chang Liu's reputation!

Can I ask you

did I say anything wrong?

Stop those fallacies!

Tell me, how do you know all these things!

So not everyone knows about this.

Quick, speak!

Replying to Honorable One,

I...

I read it from a book.

Book? What book?

The Complete Book of the Six Kingdoms.

This book...

Where did it come from?

This book

was written by Taoist Qing Xu

and given to me.

Rubbish!

Why would Taoist Qing Xu hand over such an important book to someone else?

Fine!

Present the book to me!

I'm letting you present it to me. What are you dazed for?

I ask for Honorable One's pardon!

The Complete Book of the Six Kingdoms belongs to Mount Zu.

Inside, it records Mount Zu's Sword Manuscript.

There are also secrets from the other sects.

I honestly cannot let an outsider see it.

What a joke!

You think I want to steal his sword techniques?

Even if there is Ten Mount Zu's added together, Chang Liu doesn't think it is worthy.

You are full of lies!

You must be a spy that infiltrated from the Seven Murder Faction.

Honorable One, I'm not a spy!

I really did get this book from Taoist Qing Xu.

You're still lying!

Have Hua Qian Gu beaten with wooden staves!

See if she'll say it or not and

whether she'll hand it over or not.

Senior Brother, before this matter has been thoroughly investigated,

don't come to a conclusion.

When Taoist Qing Xu died,

Hua Qian Gu truly was at Mount Zu.

What's that got to do with it?

Let's not discuss whether the books exists or not.

Even if there is,

how can Taoist Qing Xu carelessly just hand it over to a silly little girl?

The reputation of Chang Liu lies in this matter.

This girl, speaking lightly about this in front of so many people.

According to Chang Liu's laws,

she should be caned fifty times.

Beat her!

Honorable Superior, I'm not a spy!

Honorable Superior!

I'm really not a spy!

What do I do?

I can't say it.

If it's known that I'm Mount Zu Sect Leader,

I wouldn't be able to stay at Chang Liu as a disciple.

Drag Hua Qian Gu to the cells.

We will investigate this further tomorrow.

Honorable Superior, Honorable Superior. I'm begging you.

I'm really not a spy.

But it's true that you're hiding something.

This bottle of medicine can relieve the pain on your body.

I'll give you one more night.

If you still won't confess,

even I can't protect you.

Honorable Superior!

We don't know how Qian Gu is.

Have you heard?

Today, Hua Qian Gu was caned fifty times

and was imprisoned by the Three Honorables.

Ni Man Tian,

Hua Qian Gu usually is quite kind towards you,

you must think of a way to save her.

Yes. Right. Save her.

What are you all talking about?

To me, this is just a trivial matter.

No matter how great Hua Qian Gu's offense, as long as my dad appears,

Honorable Superior will definitely be a bit more lenient.

Brother Meng, where are you going?

I want to look for Honorable One and ask

what offense did Qian Gu commit.

Don't be so rash, we are all talking over about this

Is there any point in discussing?

I just don't want to be a person who is just all empty talk.

Seeing someone in trouble yet not helping them.

Watch Hua Qian Gu well.

Disciple Meng Xuan Lang, pays his respects to Honorable One.

What are you here for?

Honorable One,

Hua Qian Gu is definitely not a spy.

Why must you cane and lock her up?

Don't be rude! Leave, quick!

Meng Xuan Lang, as a regular disciple, if you are to stay at Chang Liu,

just do your job as a regular disciple. As for who I punish

is nothing something you should ask. Nor is it something you should care about.

All I know is that in society, you must strive for justice.

Do you have evidence Hua Qian Gu is infiltrating Chang Liu as a spy?

Who would have thought, that magnificent Chang Liu would force those under torture to confess.

Meng Xuan Lang!

How dare you be rude to Honorable One. Go to Discipline Pavilion right now to be punished.

What to do? What to do? What do I do?

If I don't tell Honorable Superior the truth,

I cannot stay at Chang Liu.

But... But if I tell Honorable Superior the truth,

I still can't stay at Chang Liu!

What do I do?

What do I do?

Hua Qian Gu.

To have you risk your life so desperately to protect,

what kind of the secret is it?

Honorable Superior!

Honorable Superior!

Have you thought about it clearly?

I...

Hua Qian Gu,

are you really Mount Zu's Sect leader?

Yes.

On Taoist Qing Xu's deathbed,

Mount Zu's Sword Technique,

The Complete Book of the Six Kingdoms and the Temple Feather...

he entrusted them all to me.

He asked that I act as Sect Leader for a while.

Nonsense!

You're Mount Zu Sect Leader and Chang Liu's disciple!

How is that proper?

I...

Hua Qian Gu,

you can no longer stay in Chang Liu.

Hurry down the mountain.

Honorable Superior! I...

Senior Brother, Senior Brother.

Perhaps Mount Zu Taoist Qing Xu was just facing his deathbed and needed support.

The sects

ought to help out each other. I feel that we have the responsibility to aid in this matter.

But...

If an outsider knows Mount Zu's Sect leader is Chang Liu's disciple,

wouldn't that mess up the hierarchy?

Mount Zu, Chang Liu are branches of the same tree.

Because Mount Zu is currently protecting the Tie up the Sky Chain.

And has fallen down because of that

Hua Qian Gu, had no choice.

She shouldn't have to carry that burden.

So, we should temporarily keep Hua Qian Gu here.

Don't worry!

I will inform the Mount Zu Sect.

It really doesn't matter if we delay a couple of days,

Zi Hua!

Will Hua Qian Gu stay here or leave?

It's your call!

Between the leader of the Mount Zu Sect

and the disciple of the Chang Liu,

you can only choose one of them.

In addition,

I want you to go back to Mount Zu as soon as possible.
