The soul that lies dust-laden among the stars, the sun and the moon

Awakens the helplessness of a delirious nightmare.

Uncovering this destiny's thread of events,

cannot escape this lifetime of loneliness.

Behind lies gloomy haze,

Even if I want to escape, there is no running away.

But regardless of how fate governs my life,

my persistent heart won't change.

No matter how much time passes and how much the world changes.

Listening to the forlorn sound of the guqin, can't forget what should be forgotten.

Mortal relations entrap my youth.

Forgive the clear arrogance I've hidden in my heart.

Life is also desolate

The past, watch as I walk once through the ups and downs.

Using the cold blade edge and the guqin's solitude, write the events of the past and of today.

Episode 5

Who are you?

Qing Xue!

Let her go!

Brother...

You aren't Brother.

Brother won't do this to me.

Tu Su, you are a Senior.

Not only did you not set an example for Tian Yong City's disciples,

you went downhill without permission almost stirring

a big disaster, endangering lives.

Head Reverend,

last night's events are all my fault,

But Tu Su tried to stop me and I'm not familiar with the exit paths

so I forced Tu Su to come with me.

I request for Head Reverend not to punish Tu Su.

Disciple is willing to accept punishment for yesterday.

Head Reverend,

Shao Gong didn't force me.

I brought him downhill with my own will.

Alright.

Both of you violated the rules.

Yet you still want to protect each other.

Want to receive the punishment, right?

Alright, I'll fulfill your wishes.

Both of you, accept heavy punishment!

Tu Su is willing to accept punishment.

Head Reverend,

Tu Su and Shao Gong have wrongs,

but they were able to intercept the Masked People.

They have made up for their wrongs. Please be less angry.

Head Reverend,

I feel that this isn't the time to punish the two disciples.

First, we must investigate the Masked People.

Last night before the Masked People arrived at the Sword Pavilion,

Tu Su and Shao Gong

at the bottom of the hill were also coincidentally ambushed.

These Masked People probably wanted to divert our attention and decided to attack from both sides.

Then their real goal is probably...

This Masked Person, without anyone leading the way,

was able to go directly to the Sword Pavilion.

His goal is very clear.

He's here for the sword.

So,

Could it be that this person

is a disciple of Tian Yong City?

But Ling Yue, you should know clearly.

In Tian Yong City, other than you, me, and your teacher,

there's only Tu Su and Hong Yu who know.

This reminded me.

Hong Yu,

was there anything weird recently in the Sword Pavilion?

Did anyone trespass?

Disciple trespassed once into the Sword Pavilion.

What?

You dare to trespass into Sword Pavilion?

I did it to

borrow the furnace to make medicine.

You have a lot of guts!

Did you not know that Tian Yong City's rules forbid students from practicing medicine?

Disciple knows. My body wasn't well,

and learned a bit about medicine.

So,

Head Reverend,

it's because I was infected with demon poison before,

Shao Gong wanted to cure me,

so that's why he went into the Sword Pavilion

and borrowed the furnace to make the medicine.

The Sword Pavilion is an important place in Tian Yong City.

Ouyang Shao Gong,

how did you trespass into it?

It's me.

I let Shao Gong in.

As a rookie staying close to Tu Su,

what is your goal?

Goal?

A drop of water shall be returned with a burst of spring. (Return the favor with all you can after receiving a little help)

Not to mention the saving grace.

Even if a life is needed to repay,

it's natural.

I don't need your life.

I can let you enter to make the pill.

But,

once you finished making the pill, you must leave Tian Yong City.

Are you willing?

As long as Sister Hong Yu lends me the alchemy furnace,

heal Tu Su's injury,

Shao Gong is willing to leave.

Head Reverend,

after Shao Gong entered Sword Pavilion,

I always followed him around.

He really just

used the alchemy furnace to make medicine, didn't do anything else.

Hong Yu,

you secretly let Ouyang Shao Gong into Sword Pavilion.

And when the Masked Person left, you didn't try to stop him.

As the sword guardian,

do you not know your job and responsibilities clearly?

Head Reverend,

Sister Hong Yu and Shao Gong made mistakes because of me.

If you need to lay down punishment,

then you should punish me only.

Head Reverend,

Hong Yu made a mistake,

and is willing to accept the punishment

Head Reverend,

Though those three

broke the rules,

the matter with Masked People haven't been investigated thoroughly.

Plus there are thieves downhill.

Head Reverend, please punish them lightly.

So they can make up for their mistakes.

Nevermind,

On behalf of you guys caring for each other,

I will currently stop investigating this matter.

But Tu Su hear this,

there better not be a next time!

Ling Yue,

From now on, Tusu and the sword

are both your responsibility.

There better not be any mistakes

Yes, sir

You're awake

You're really too much.

Zhao Lin said you were poisoned by the sleeping powder,

and you still dared to try catch them?

You almost lost your life!

Good thing Senior Brother, Tusu, and Shao Gong were able to save you.

Senior Sister,

Did the thief end up getting caught?

Heard he went down the mountain already.

How dare he trespassed Tian Yong City.

He has some guts!

Junior Sister,

Are you alright?

I'm alright.

It's good that you're alright.

Oh and,

When you were held hostage, you said brother, what did you mean by that?

I thought I was going to die

So I wanted to call for my brother to save me

Who's your brother?

There were many brothers there,

Why didn't you ask for help?

At that time I was dizzy from the poison drug

I couldn't remember

Senior Brother,

Qing Xue and her brother separated when they were young,

She has been looking for her brother

She unconsciously called for his help in that situation

Also, her mind is not clear right after waking up.

Rest well,

This person is my brother

All roads to and from the mountain needs to be checked

Be on strict alert and report to me anything suspicious

Yes, sir

Who goes there?

I am from Youdu, requesting the meet of the Reverend Zhenyin.

Youdu?

Reverend Zi Yin went into retreat and hasn't come out yet.

Granny,

Why don't you wait a few days then come?

But right now it's getting late

If Granny doesn't mind,

Why don't you rest at Tian Yong City?

I'll order the my oldest disciple to lead you.

Since Reverend ZhenYin is not out yet,

Then I won't stay long.

But could you allow me to check on the sword?

After I see it's safe, I will leave on my own.

Reverend ZhenYin has said,

No one is allowed near the sword

Granny can also rest assured,

Tian Yong City has people guarding the sword.

There will be no problems.

Granny, you can just rest assured.

Reverend Hansu,

The Youdu Clan has always protected the sword

If the sword wasn't displaying unusual behaviour

Why would I go through the trouble of coming to Tian Yong City?

I ask of the Reverend to let me see the sword.

When I came up the mountain,

it seems to me that Tian Yong City is on high alert.

If the Reverend doesn't allow me to see the sword,

could the sword have had a problem,

or perhaps it has been stolen?

This is a joke,

Tian Yong City is an impregnable fortress, how could there be an opportunity for villians to act?

Then that means there is someone going after the sword

Granny,

That Sword is only one in many of Tian Yong City's

I cannot just worry only about this one sword

Plus,

When I say it hasn't been moves, it hasn't been moved.

Why do you not believe me?

I still have things to do, if Granny needs more explaning,

You can ask my oldest disciple.

Ling Yue

Head Reverend,

Bring Granny down for her rest.

Yes Sir.

Reverend Hansu!

Granny,

Please come this way.

Granny, please come this way.

Tian Yong City

is indeed filled with natural beauty and human talents,

an excellent training ground

These years, Han YunXi has probably lived comfortably right?

Han Yunxi?

Who is Granny talking about?

Eight years ago, your master brought back a child from Youdu.

You don't know?

I've been training with Master since I was young,

He hasn't brought anyone

named Han YunXi to Tian Yong City.

I think Granny probably remembered wrong..

This way please.

Come this way please.

Senior Brother,

I need to speak to you!

What do you need?

It's related to the thief

I'm bringing a guest to their room,

I'll come for you later.

Understood.

Please,

Senior Brother,

During this time,

try your best to stay at the back-mountain

don't come round to the front

I have ordered Shao Gong

to bring you food everyday.

Is it because of last time's going downhill?

A granny came from Youdu

Master instructed before going into reclusion that

You must not interact with people from Youdu

Youdu?

What place is that?

Why are they looking for me?

I'm not really sure either,

Since Teacher ordered it, there must be a reason.

You don't have to ask anymore questions.

Datura Pollen?

Yeah,

The Masked Person used Datura Pollen,

It can make people lose consciousness.

The Datura flower normally grows in warm and humid environments

Rumor has it that only Nanjiang has this kind of flower

That would mean the masked person comes from Nanjiang?

Qing Xue, how did you know about the Datura Pollen?

Senior Brother,

Qingxue learnt martial arts before coming to Tian Yong City

Shao Gong and her are from the same village and Shao Gong is a doctor,

I think her knowing about some medical practices isn't unnatural.

Thank you for the reminder,

It's getting late,

Get rest early.

Aren't you going to come in?

You want to stay outside and have someone suspect something?

Kneel down.

Granny please don't get mad, Qing Xue knows her wrong.

You know you are in the wrong and yet you're running about outside

Leaving Youdu without a word

The elders and I were so shocked

Have you forgotten your identity and responsibilities?

I was also worried about the sword and you all,

After I came out, I directly came to Tian Yong City, nowhere else.

You-

How did you mix in?

From the beginning, and tell me every detail,

and don't hide anything.

After I left Youdu,

By myself, I aimed only for Tian Yong City.

On the way,

Reverend Ziyin really did retreat for many years

Thought about the sword,

I'm not clear.

But also in the Sword Pavillion

There's someone called Hong Yu, she guards the sword

The Sword Tower was robbed

The sword is what they want

Have you seen the face of the sword thief?

Speak truthfully.

I- I think that person looks like Brother.

What?

Tha- That's not possible.

If Guang Mo was still alive,

Why doesn't he return to Youdu?

And why would he come single-handed

to Tian Yong City to steal the sword?

Did you clearly see?

I'm not sure

I just feel like as if

it's because Brother didn't finish his mission

and wants to bring the sword back.

No, Qing Xue,

You're wrong.

It's been eight years,

If Guang Mo was still alive

He would at least send us a letter.

This cannot be him.

I see that the Oldest Disciple Ling Yue,

even though he is young,

his cultivation is not bad

If the sword theif can successfully escape from this many disciples of Tian Yong City,

He is of extraordinary.

I'm just afraid,

he is in the same group as the people who attacked Wu Meng Valley

If that's the case,

things are going to be complicated.

Hong Yu sister,

I have already called the other elders' disciple to guard the tower

To make sure nothing happens to the Sword

As for that Masked person, I looked through all the parts of Tian Yong City

but could not find him.

He got injured so he couldn't have ran far away

That sword theif

is powerful and careful

he knows a lot about the sword

Also, the people that attack Tusu downhill also wore masks

I'm thinking, if both groups didn't succeed,

I'm afraid that they'll strike again.

They are in the shadows while we're in the light

For now, we can only be inactive

Hong Yu sister,

I've always have had a question I wanted to ask you

Go ahead,

Why did you allow Shao Gong into the Sword Pavilion?

Why did you say

after he's done making the pill, he'll have to leave Tian Yong City?

Because I found out

the sword has differentiated

I'm afraid something bad will happen to Tu Su.

All these years,

Only you could be close with Tu Su,

and no one else.

However, that new disciple, without knowing his background,

He is able to, in such a short time,

become close with Tu Su, allowing Tu Su to trust him.

You mean,

Shao Gong has a reason for getting close with Tu Su?

I just think Tu Su is naive,w

and am afraid of him getting betrayed.

And then built up hatred.

I don't care what that Ouyang Shaogong has in mind,

I just want him to make the pill and leave Tian Yong City.

Or else his bonds with Tu Su will become too deep

leaving trouble for the future.

From the beginning actually,

when that Masked Person appeared, I thought that he was Ouyang Shaogong.

But thinking about it now, I guess I was thinking too much.

When Shao Gong brought Tu Su downhill, I was suspecting something too,

But after I saw him trying to save someone,

it doesn't seem like he's working with the Masked Person.

Instead, that Feng Qingxue

I think she's suspicious.

Why?

I instead believe that Qingxue's eyes display a purity and honesty of spirit

and she doesn't strike me as someone who is scheming or unscrupuous

I can't name the reason either,

but this girl

She has pretty good skills and knows some divine power.

She knows what Datura Pollen is.

and was also coincidentally attacked by the Masked Person.

And at this time, a granny from Youdu arrived at Tian Yong City.

Don't you think everything that happened is too coincidental?

Why hasn't the spirit butterfly returned yet?

Could it be that the Sword isn't in there?

What are you doing here?

The butterfly was your doing?

Do you know that this is an important place of Tian Yong City?

Unless given permission, disciples aren't allowed to come near.

I wanted to track down the Sword Thief, that's why I released the Spirit Butterfly.

I didn't think it would fly to this sword pavillion

That, is that important to you?

This is the only thing that my brother left for me.

Senior Brother, if you have nothing else you need me for, I'll go back now.

I'm sorry,

It's my fault, you can give it to me, I'll help you fix it.

Can you fix it back?

I think so.

Junior Sister,

from now on, you can't randomly barge into the sword pavillion.

Senior Brother, I can help you catch the sword theif.

No, the sword thief is a skilled martial artist.

You've just joined us. If anything untoward happened to you, as your senior, I would be put in a tough spot.

Go back first,

After I fix this, I'll give it back to you.

Shao Gong,

have you seen the Granny from Youdu?

I haven't seen her,

I heard she's an important guest of Tian Yong City

why do you ask?

Senior Brother told me to avoid people from Youdu, but I don't remember ever going there.

Perhaps it has something to do with my past?

Senior Brother didn't tell you the reason?

He said it's master's instructions.

Then he probably wants the best for you, and to protect you.

Then that's even more weird.

The people from Youdu want to hurt me?

You said you were only ten when you came to Youdu,

did whatever happen to you in the past cause your master to fear people from Youdu

I can't remember anything from before I arrived here,

I can only remember things that happened after coming to Tian Yong City.

I know Senior Brother is keeping it a secret from me for the better,

but I really want to know the things from before.

Don't be worried for now, if I get the opportunity, I'll try to get some more information for you.

Senior Brother!

Senior Brother,

After you left for that long, you haven't spoken to after you came back.

Isn't this Qing Xue's bracelet?

Why is it here?

I accidentally broke her bracelet last time.

I'm helping her put it back together now.

It's only a bracelet, why are you so worried?

Senior brother is a man, how would you know how to deal with these things?

I'll help you.

Then I'll have to trouble you.

It's nothing.

Senior Brother,

Do you know the Yunxi who does chores under Reverend Zi Yin?

What about him?

Qing Xue is looking for her friend from her childhood named Han YunXi, it could be him.

The sword of Burning Solitude is definitely in the sword pavilion.

Granny,

No the sword pavilion is heavily guarded,

I think we shouldn't do anything risky.

Why don't we wait till Reverend Zi Yin comes out of reclusion, then think of something?

Silly girl,

do you really think Reverend Zi Yin is really living in reclusion out of need?

He's probably just hiding from me.

Eight years ago,

If he hadn't forcefully taken the sword,

Do things even have to be this complicated?!

And you, you should think on your actions,

If you hadn't released them back then.

Oh right, wheres Han Yunxi?

The time you've spent at Tian Yong City hasn't been short,

have you found out anything about that child's whereabouts?

I've found him,

but he's changed. Now he's a little retarded.

The sword can control a person's mind.

Perhaps Reverend Zi Yin didn't want to let Han Yun Xi

fall under the sword's control and used some method

to seal his intelligence.

So as long as we break the seal,

will he be able to go back to the way he was?

This granny from Youdu has such high wariness

and won't talk to people.

It's really difficult to find out anything.

Come with me.

Come with me and check it out.

How is it, Granny?

There is no seal, there isn't even a trace of the sword's evil spirit.

He isn't Han Yun Xi.

I am Yunxi! I am Yunxi! I am I am

He is Han Yun Xi.

So you really were sent by Youdu.

Looks like the two of you planned nicely such that

One went to Tian Yong City to get information

and the other forced Head Reverend to surrender the person.

It's not like that!

Since things have turned out this way,

there's no need for hiding anymore

Let me ask you, where is the real Han Yun Xi?

This person is Han Yun Xi. Back then, Master spent a lot of energy

to force the evil spirits in his body out.

Who would've known when he woke up, he became like this.

Impossible!

You can fool others but you won't be able to fool me.

Ask your Master Reverend Zi Yin to come out!

Now that events have played out this way,

believe me or not, it is up to you.

Tian Yong City has always respected elders,

and we have been especially respectful toward you. On the other hand Youdu

sent people here pretending to be a student, lying to Head Reverend.

Tian Yong City is now very busy

and it is not convenient for us to receive guests any longer.

Please leave.

I initially though Qing Xue was here to look for people.

Who would've thought...

I believed her too easily...

The Han Yun Xi they're looking for

should be me.

How do you know?

They said back then Master brought a child back from Youdu

and under Master there is only me and Senior Brother.

Senior Brother said Master spent a lot of energy before he could exorcise the sword's evil spirits.

So it has to be me.

Tu su,

The spirit of the Sword of Burning Solitude they are talking about,

what exactly is it and what does it have to do with you?

Shao Gong,

do you remember when you were treating my injuries the last time

and my wounds were very difficult to heal?

That was the spirit of the Sword of Burning Solitude.

I don't know when it entered my body.

all I know is that from the moment I knew what was going on around me,

it

That year master put it in the tower

and sealed up the evil spirits in my body

And I couldn't communicate with other disciples

because they were afraid that I would get controlled

and then hurt the people beside me

So that's the case

That's why there was a thief

and Senior Ling Yue would be so concerned

Youdu is also here for the sword

Would the evil spirits make you uncomfortable?

Are you in pain?

When people hear what I said

they would think that I am a freak

there's only you

that wouldn't be afraid of me hurting you

but whether I will get hurt by it

Your body has evil spirits, you're not one, why would I be afraid?

I want to go see Qingxue,

she was so concerned about Han Yunxi

I always thought that the way she looked at me was weird

it's a type of worry

and concerning expression

I think she wouldn't harm me

Don't be rash

Senior Brother is so cautious about people from Youdu, he has to have his own reasons

I think you should go ask Senior Brother

See what he will say and then decide

Senior

the Han Yunxi that Youdu is finding

is me,

Right?

No

Don't you remember what master said when he gave you the name Baili Tusu?

The child that master brought back form Youdu is you

That time, you already forgot the past

Master also wants you to not be trapped in the past

No matter what happened in the past

I know what Master and you are trying to do

But Senior brother

when you and your little brother got separated

So many years pass by

you still remember him, remember all the bonds you two shared

As for me

my family, my hometown

My childhood

Everything in the past

is all blank

Tusu

Life is destined to be like that

If you arereally stuck in the past

then ait until master comes out, then you can ask him

Go back to your room, no coming out

Senior Brother

Miss Qingxue

you are not a disciple of Tian Yong City anymore, you can't come here

I.

I will leave this place with granny

I want to say goodbye to Senior Tusu

No need to

Tusu is practicing in the back of the mountains

Please go back

Senior Brother, I didn't mean to deceive you guys

I came here just to see Han Yunxi

You already saw him, even though he is silly

he is doing very well

Do you want to bring him to Youdu?

Granny said that he is not that Han Yunxi that I'm looking for

I don't want to repeat what I just said

Senior Brother, I-

Please don't call me that, we are not fellow disciples anymore

Your bracelet is at Fuqu's place

I will bring you there to get it

The spiritual rock was to broken

I tried my best

Now it's back to it's owner

What's wrong? Is it still broken?

No

The spiritual rock is has lost its powers

I can't sense where my brother is now

What evidence do yo have saying that it has spiritual powers before

and now it doesn't

Everything has to listen to you

Feng Qingxue, I treated you like a sister

but you have always been using me

What Yunxi? What Brother?

It's enough that you were messing with us

and now you are blaming my senior brother too?

Fuqu stop talking

Am I wrong?

To fix her spiritual rock

I had to go find Elder Miao Fa's golden wires

I treat her sincerely but what about her?

Feng Qingxue

You coming to Tian Yong City

Senior brother and my dad can forget about it

but not me

I'm sorry

Even though I came to Tian Yong City with an objective

But I never wanted to lie to you guys

I never wanted to use you guys either

I'm going to leave now

Thank you for taking care of me

Hurry and leave

Do you want me to send you now?

Is this a spell passed on in Youdu?

Oh no, Granny went to the Sword Tower

I don't care who you are, I only listed to Reverend Ziyin

No one can enter

Granny, please go back

You are also a sword spirit, you should know how dangerous the sword is

The sword is making movements

I'm afraid it will get worse

I will say it one more time, I don't want to take it away

I just need to investigate

I'm sorry, not even investigating is allowed

If there is no permission from Reverend Ziyin. No one can enter

Disciples of Tian Yong City, take Granny back to rest

Yes

Do you think you can stop me?

Take off your mask

I will go check in the mountains

Granny

Granny! Granny!

Granny!

Granny!

Below the tower are cliffs

It is not possible to find the thief

How is she?

My powers can only temporarily help her

To completely remove the injury

has to rely on Granny's cultivation. It's not that simple

Isn't Youdu a guardian of ancient swords?

How can it not cure her injury?

While sealing the sword a while ago,

she got injured once already

So her body still has the evil spirits

It's my fault

Don't worry

Take care of her, we'll think of something

My dad told me to send this over

What did Head Reverend say?

He said Granny is a guest, so I need to help take care of her.

Senior Brother, you can you do what you need to, I can handle this

Alright

Thank you Senior Sister

Don't thank me, I'm not helping you

I'm only helping Senior Brother

Sister Hong Yu

The masked man I fought with today

and the one from last time might not be the same people

That's not right

There's nothing different about this person

The masked man that captured Qingxue got injured

The one from today

has no sign of any injuries at all

He can go one against three, he is actually stronger than the one from last time

It is like that

Then there isn't just one masked man

He must want

to take the Sword and Tu Su away together.

No, that's wrong,

When I was fighting with Granny,

it was then the Masked Person entered the Sword Pavilion.

How could it be so coincidental?

Right, and the timing is also on point.

This Masked Person must have been waiting near and waiting for the right time to strike.

We have to hurry and catch this person,

Or else the sword is in danger,

Tu Su is also in danger.

You have to know,

The Kulun Mountains has 72 peaks, and 33 mountains,

finding a person is like looking for a needle in the ocean. Where are you going to look?

I'm sure Qing Xue has a way.

What exactly are you aiming for by coming to Tian Yong City?

Why is there this much trouble in the end?

I'm here to look for Yun Xi,

because he might know my brother's whereabouts.

The reason Granny came,

was because of that sword.

We gave you trouble, sorry.

I'll reluctantly believe you one more time.

That Han YunXi,

is he the one you're looking for?

Granny says it's not him.

I don't know what to do next either.

Didn't your bracelet lose its power? Are you still going to search for your brother?

Of course I have to look for my brother,

He's my most important person.

Senior Brother

Miss Qing Xue, I want to ask you a favor.

I can also help, why don't you come looking for me?

I'm asking for her to track down the Datura Pollen,

do you also know how?

I don't.

It doesn't matter if the Sword Thief or the one who hurt Granny was the same person,

we have to hurry and find out who the person is.

Miss Qing Xue, could you help me look?

I'll help you look for it.

I'm going too!

You remain and take care of Granny.

Alright alright,

only because you're my Senior Brother.

Senior Sister, I'll have to trouble you.

If you know it's troubling, then hurry and help him find the masked person.

Fell in love with the quietly flowing river of stars that fill the sky

as if a dream has covered itself in soft flowing robes

moist eyes cannot hold back the sorrow that stirs in my heart

In this moment, I should be leaning on your shoulder.

I still remember your simple and innocent appearance in the beginning

But now you've experienced the vicissitudes of life

Even if I'll get hurt, I'm still willing to forever

Wait at your side like this.

Look into the distance, in the direction in which you pointed

We went there to climb, to wander

In the distance, those clear bright times

Even now they are unforgettable.

Look into the distance, we were once impetuous in our youth

Nursing our dreams, we traversed the vast land

We searched for the heaven of love in distant places

I went flying with you.

Bravely fly into the distance.
