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

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

Episode 23

Stop running!

2nd Senior Brother, did we mistake her for someone else?

How can it be?

Forget it.

Let's go

Xiang Ling, why are you here?

Why are you dressed like that?

Does it look good?

Where is brother Tusu?

He's been isolated in the villa over there. There's a seal so I can't rescue him.

Then how can we get him out?

Even if there was a method he might not want to come out

Why?

He doesn't trust me.

Also, he's afraid his Senior Brother will be worried about him

All of his senior brothers aren't good people! Especially that Ling Duan.

He always wants to drag Tusu gege down. We cannot let them get their hands on him.

Susu has someone guarding him,

Then what's Ling Duan going over there for?

Second senior brother, Tusu's demonic energy is acting up.

Tusu..

Second senior brother, why don't we just forget about it? Tusu's already in such a state.

Also, Senior Brother is almost here

Are you crazy? If we don't do something now, we won't have a chance once we return back to Tian Yong City.

What if Senior Brother finds out?

I'm here

I knew they wanted to deal with Tusu

Wait for him to open the seal.

Tusu

On that day it was on a full moon's night that you killed Zhao Lin.

Today I will avenge Zhao Lin

Attack!

Hurry up!

Do you guys want to die?

Stop!

I just knew that you guys would go after Tusu gege.

Xiang Ling, don't!

Let him go

Let him go

Susu, are you okay?

Careful

Dont follow us

-Second senior brother! -Hurry and go!

What now?

This isn't good.

Going on like this isn't going to work!

Let's first find a place for him to calm the demonic energy.

But where can we go?

Madams, why don't we do it like this?

You let me go, then I wont chase you or Tusu, okay?

Cut the crap, we dont trust you

Dont worry about me, quickly go

Hurry and let him go!

Dont come over here

Go

Listen to her Dont come

Which way should we go?

Let's go through the cave!

Wait, you cannot enter

The wolf demon is trapped inside! It's extremely dangerous!

Quickly, lets go tell master

Okay

-Susu! -Don't move!

Susu brother Tusu

Xiang Ling, careful of the Sword of Burning solitude!

Right, be careful

I'm fine

I'll help you!

QingXue, dont

What is that sound?

Be careful, the demon energy here is quite strong

Hurry!

T-t-this! Who made the fire? Hurry and put it out!

You guys have made a huge mess!

How could you guys light the demon fire in this sacred place?

This will break the seal, and the demon will break out from the water,

and put everyone in danger!

What kind of demon is this?

This is holy water, and beneath it it becomes empty

It's always been used to lock up evil demons

Inside the water, the demon's powers are suppressed and cannot ever leave

305 years ago, my ancestral master spent much effort

to lock up the dangerous wolf demon inside the water.

If the wolf demon sees light upon the water,

then he will make a break for it!

There is no going back after that

If we break our promise, we'll be struck by lightning,

the gods will perish.

From that day on, no light could be made in this area!

Only that way could the wolf demon obediently stay inside the water

In order to add a safety measure, the ancestral chief added strong chains just in case,

but only made it more resentful.

If it comes out again,

everyone within 100 miles will be done for!

Chief

Please allow me to enter and fix the seal

I will only allow one incense stick's time

Ling Yue, this wolf demon has cultivation worth thousands of years. Your current skills aren't good enough to win!

You're asking for death!

This mess was made by my junior brother. I should be the one to fix things.

You needn't say anymore. I must hurry and reseal the wolf demon.

Senior brother, this is my fault, let me go

Tusu, with today's separation, life or death is hard to predict.

If we both lost our lives,

how is Teacher supposed to take it?

At the very least, take these people back to Tian Yong City. Listen to me,

I am your senior brother. I cannot let you be in danger anymore.

Susu

Your body is weak and you just managed to control the demonic energy. You cannot go down there.

She's right! The Chief said that it's very dangerous down there, you cannot go!

You needn't say more. This was my mess, how can I let senior brother be the one to take the responsibility?

You guys should hurry and leave

I'm going to go save him

-Susu! -Tusu gege!

This won't do

Sis Qing Xue!

Eldest senior brother! Come.

Qing Xue, hurry and take senior brother away!

-Then what about you? - I will tap into the demonic energy inside me

-And fight with the wolf demon! -You cannot use your demonic energy!

There isn't time! Hurry and go!

We'll go first

After we go up, we'll wait until everyone has gone,

-Then we'll think of another plan! -There isn't another choice

The demonic aura has filled this area.

If no one hurries and fixes the problem, the wolf demon will leave the water and cause problems everywhere!

At that time, it'll be impossible to avoid death!

You are going to sacrifice yourself to get him? -I will try to live and not die.

If anything happens to you, how can I tell Teacher?

If anything happens to you,

Teacher will also be sad

Fuqu will also be sad. You once said,

between you and me, at least one have to live.

You go. I stay.

Tusu!

What are you guys doing still here? Hurry and go!

-Hurry! -Then you be careful! You must stay alive!

Sister Qing Xue! Big brother Ling Yue!

Where's Tusu gege? -He...

Oh no, the situation is not good.

What should we do now?

This place won't last long

-Hurry and leave everyone!

I won't go!

I have to wait for Susu to come back

I also won't go

I also want to wait for Tusu gege

As long as Tusu hasn't come out

I definitely won't leave here

In the case that the wolf demon break out,

I will die along with it!

I admire Hero's courage.

For now, we could only depend on TuSu.

If the situation changes, we will decide then.

You quickly go out and prepare!

Oh, I will go help. I will go help. Go, go, go!

Let's go!

Oh, you are also a demon.

I am not!

You are full of the aura of regret and murder.

You still say you are not a demon.

Such strong force

why did you not got kill people?

Only demons would use the demonic force to harm people.

My sword and my power

is to protect the people around me.

Interesting.

A demon wants to protect human?

In the past hundreds of years

you are the first one I have interest in conversing with.

If from now on

you stop harming people,

I could let you go.

Kid, are you threatening me?

The lives of the innocent could be call harm. But to kill those liars

is call justice. Do you understand?

You demon. It's all excuses.

You just wanted to kill and harm people.

That's right! I of course have to kill! Why would I not kill?

They are lied and play dirty.

They are weak and such as scaredy cat.

Should they not be killed?

You and I are both demon.

I think you should understand me, right?

I have said, I am not a demon!

Look at yourself right now.

You are full of the dark auro and your eyes are red and you still claim that you are not a demon?

Kid,

why do you want to stay and died for the humans?

Do you think they will thank you for dying for them? You are wrong!

In their eyes,

you will always be a demon!

No! No!

I am not a demon.

You are the demon!

I am going to kill you today!

Why are you placing all your hatred of the human onto me?

You are suppose to kill those human that you hate!

The people that I hate?

That's right. Your heart has been burning by the dark fire.

That is your hatred.

Those people who treated you like an alien.

They who does not differentiate between black and white and yet pretended to love you.

Yet they deceived you.

You are supposed to hate those people.

You should kill them!

You killed Zhou Ling!

I did not kill Zhou Ling!

Surrounded him. Don't let him escape!

I also have hate! -I will tried to lead TuSu away as soon as possible.

Then I will bring Sword of Burning Solitude back.

Why? Why??

What is the use to only have hate? Kill them.

Then will be no one blame on you again.

There won't be anyone to deceive you again!

Kill! Kill them!

SuSu, you must come back safely.

Not right. I still have things to do.

I still have things to do!

With today's separation, life or death is hard to predict. If we both lost our lives,

how is Teacher supposed to take it?

If it comes out again,

there won't be a living being for a hundred square miles!

I won't let that happen. I have to protect them!

The one I must kill is you!

I have said.

Those people have deceived you to this point.

You will regret.

They are my friends.

If you want to kill them.

I could only kill you.

You are an honorable man of righteousness and love.

Hope they will not betray you in the future.

and treat you like a friend instead of an alien.

You will understand in the future.

I won't live much longer.

I will give you a last precious gift.

You have to receive it.

What is this? What demonic thing is this?

Demonic thing?

This is my inner force.

All those practice martial arts want it.

You haven't thank me.

Take it back! I don't want this thing!

It has already entered your body.

It can't come out.

I must tell you.

It will greatly increased your murderous aura.

Making it harder and harder to control.

What?

Do you feel that your energy is running around wildly that you can't breath?

You head is splitting with pain.

I will see how you are going to claim that you are not a demon.

You!

Too bad, that I

don't get to see the day that you loose control and become wild until you die.

Before you die, make good use of the power you've gained.

The demonic aura is disbursed. Seems like the wolf demonic aura is all gone.

It...it seems like it's half dead.

Looks like the wolf demon has been destroyed.

With just one man's strenght

he was able to put the wolf demon to the sword.

It truly is remarkable.

Does that mean we are all safe?

What about SuSu? Where is he?

The Wolf demon is vicious.

It is not easy to finish it off.

I think, most likely they've died together.

Not possible. TuSu has said

that he will try to stay alive and not go for a suicide mission.

He won't do that.

Don't do that.

Even if it the body

I still must bring him back.

I will go with you.

The situation down there is unclear. You two must not take that risk.

SuSu.

His demonic auro is too strong, don't let him come forward!

Be careful!

TuSu!

SuSu!

SuSu!

SuSu! No!

SuSu, no! I'm Qing Xue. SuSu!

SuSu!

Don't be like that!

SuSu!

SuSu!

Don't!

TuSu.

TuSu!

Xing Xue.

SuSu. -You are wake.

We both still live.

This is good.

Too good.

To be able to hold onto your hands like this

is so good.

I have never seen you in such close proximity.

Your eyes,

nose, mouth.

Xing Xue.

I want to see you like this every day.

SuSu, since we've live through it this time,

can you promised me one thing?

Tell me.

In the future, no matter what bad things is happening

even if you get mad at me again,

don't ever not believe me again.

And don't leave me behind.

You have wasted a lot of energy force.

Rest well. Sleep a little bit more.

I am fine. How is your murderous aura?

It's under control. Everything's okay now.

SuSu, you go and rest.

I am okay now.

Okay, when you fall asleep, I will go rest.

Come.

Too bad, that I

don't get to see the day that you loose control

and become wild until you die.

All those practice martial arts want it my inner force

It has already entered your body. It can't come out.

I must tell you. It will greatly increased your murderous aura.

It will be harder and harder to control it.

No, I cannot let the wolf demon affect me

and be control by the murderous aura.

TuSu, the medicine is ready. Drink it while it's still hot.

How are you?

I am fine.

I've just mediated. The energy is not very balanced.

I will drink it later.

Okay.

Senior Brother, your injures is not lighter than mine.

and you still cook medicine for me.

I am fine. As long as you get better soon.

Then I can return to Tian Yong City and report back to Honorable Teacher.

Where are you not feeling well?

No, I am fine.

I intended to bring to Tin Zhu Quan to heal your injuries.

Never thought we would run into a wolf demon.

Almost caused your life.

Never thought this wolf demon is this strong.

Senior Brother, the wolf demon has harmed so many all over.

Why did the leader of Tin Zhu Quan did not kill it?

Instead, just lock it up?

I have heard the Quan Leader said

the prior Quan Leader used all his strength to lock up the wolf demon.

This wolf demon is very big and strong.

Not every average person can handle it.

It's demonic strength is housed in it's inner force pill.

Unless we destroy it's inner force pill

can we truly totally destroy it.

Senior Brother, I have once heard

that a demon's inner force pill can increase a person's inner strength.

That is a shame to the people who really seek tranquility, the acts of those with ill intent.

Human and demon are the same.

If a person take the demon's inner force pill and practice with it

then in the end, that person will go toward the path of evil.

At the point of death, the demon

will destroy it's own inner force pill.

So that other's can't take it.

What if a person took the inner force pill of the demon into his body?

I felt the demonic aura in you.

Could it be the wolf demon's?

Before he died

he past

his inner force pill into my body.

The wolf demon is full of murderous aura.

Why did you not tell me earlier?

How are you now? -I am okay.

Maybe, before the wolf demon die

he repent.

Senior Brother, I am really okay.

Don't worry.

The wolf demon is dead.

No need to discuss further about him.

At time when I was under the lake

I remember you said,

"between you and me, at least one have to live.

Otherwise, how is Honorable Master is supposed to take it?"

About that,

I have not get you for it.

Who has ever heard of a junior brother protecting a senior brother?

I, the Big Senior Brother of Tian Yong City, has lost all face.

If you ever do that again

I will ask Honorable Master to lock you up at the retreat place

to reflect for 3 years.

It won't happen again.

What else are you thinking of?

Nothing, I just wanted to say, I understand.

Senior Brother's teaching.

TuSu, you must remember,

no matter where you are,

you must take good care of yourself.

You cannot give up your life and cause grief to Honorable Master.

I understand. Just that life and death

cannot be predicted.

If one day, TuSu is no longer here

Senior Brother, you must take good care of Honorable Master for me.

Are you hiding something from me? -No.

Just that

after the experience with the wolf demon

I could see clearly what is life and death.

Senior Brother, don't worry.

I will cherish my life.

And not let you and Master down.

SuSu!

SuSu, don't! I am Qing Xue, SuSu!

SuSu! SuSu!

Xiang Ling

I'm the one who used up my energy force, not you.

Why are you sighting?

What's going on?

I felt that I have wronged TuSu. I am ashamed to face him.

Why are you saying that?

Qing Xue, that day at the lake.

When he came out the lake, I saw that he was filled with the dark force.

And his eyes were red.

I was so frighten that I couldn't move.

There was no way I could save him.

But at that time,

only you, Qing Xue, saved him.

I am so useless.

It's okay. This is your first time to see SuSu this way.

It is normal to be afraid.

But now that he has recovered. He is still your Brother TuSu.

I'm still scared when I think about it.

I'm actually

not fit to like TuSu.

It's alright now. It's all in the past.

Since TuSu is fine now

I'm going to find Lan Sheng.

Where is Lan Sheng? -He got injured.

He is still in the village waiting for me to come back.

You pulse and energy force has calm down a lot.

This is all thanks to Qing Xue.

Yes, I also feel a lot better.

Tin Zhu Quan how no method to dispersed your murderous aura.

But Qing Xue's YouDu arts could help you.

I can relax now. -Senior Brother, I could take good care of myself.

But your injuries.

This is nothing. I will get better after some rest when I get back to Tian Yong City.

Senior Brother, I...

I know. I won't force you to return to Tian Yong City with me.

After this experience

you have the power/strength to determine the path you want to take.

I believe you.

Thank you Senior Brother.

Big Senior Brother, he is a murder. How can you let him go?

You don't have any evidence.

You can't falsely accused your brother. -I falsely accused my brother?

Everyone in Tian Yong City can be the witness.

Big Senior Brother, if you let him go today

Then you have chosen to harbor!

Who opened my seal?

Who caused this big trouble? If I let you go right now,

isn't that also harboring?

I...that was an accident.

Beside, I didn't mean to.

But he purposely killed a person.

Big Senior Brother.

This time, I was commanded by Reverend Leader

Today, I must bring TuSu back to Tian Yong City!

Don't worry.

I will bring him back to Tian Yong City and explain to Reverend Leader.

You take good care.

You must remember. Even though you've past this hurtle

but don't let yourself loose and be control by the murderous aura.

Senior Brother, don't worry and take care of your injuries.

Shao Gong.

Aunt Tong, your pulse is very chaotic.

You have been exhausted from these past few days.

I have cooked some medicine for you. Drink it while it's hot.

Shao Gong, let me feed the medicine to Aunt Tong.

Aunt Tong, Shao Gong cook this with his own hands.

Drink it.

Are you okay? Did your hand got burned? -It's okay.

Just that, you have to cook another bowl for Aunt Tong.

I won't drink.

Aunt Tong, what's the matter?

That medicine.

What about the medicine?

Nothing.

I wanted to say.

if there is nothing,

why don't you both leave.

Shao Gong, let Aunt Tong have a bit of her own quiet time.

Then I will come back this evening to see you.

Shao Gong.

Aunt Tong is sick recently

so, she is a bit in a bad mood.

Don't force her anymore.

I didn't want to force her.

I don't know what is the matter with Aunt Tong in the recent days.

She is old.

You have to think more for her.

You mean... -To tell you the truth

it is not just 1 or 2 days Aunt Tong has been like this.

She is old now. There is a lot of things that she can't do as she wants.

And she is afraid that you will not care about her.

So, she is moody.

I can understand.

Earlier in Qin Chuan, Aunt Tong had also said things that she didn't mean.

These past few years, we are each other's only family.

If I say I have to leave

and she is by herself. This is really too lonely.

Old people do have moody personality.

Aunt Tong is sick

these past few days, she has been dreaming a lot while she sleep. So, she is very suspicious.

She keeps on saying that someone is there to harm her.

If this keeps on

I'm afraid Aunt Tong's situation will get worse.

It's my fault for not paying enough attention to her.

Shao Gong, even though

Aunt Tong took care of you in the past.

Now that she is this sick

and gets easily frustrated

It's best to let her go back to Qin Chuan to retire.

There is Ru Qin in the Feng Family who can keep her company and take care of her.

Then naturally she will be happy.

And you can relax.

What you've said is right.

With Ru Qin taking care of her

go back to Qin Chuan to retire

would be the best decision for Aunt Tong.

Qing Yun Tan

if not a place to stay.

I will discuss with Aunt Tong

about going back.

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.
