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,before lies a mountain pass
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 zither, can't forget what should be forgotten
Mortal relations entrap my youth
Forgive the clear arrogance I've hidden in my heart
Go forth into battle and face the vastness, mightiness oft eh earth and heaven.
Life is also desolatedeeply attracted, like a roaring blaze burning.
The past, watch as I walk once through the ups and downs.
Using the cold blade edge and the zither's solitude write the events of the past and of today
the lonely sword against my fignertips, speak and laugh easily.
Legend of the Ancient Sword (Gu Jian Qi Tan)
Episode 43
This is Grandpa Tree?
How come he looks so regular?
What do you know?
All the little animals in Red Leaf Lake back then were taken care of by Grandpa Tree.
Grandpa Tree, Xiang Ling is here to see you.
Wake up! Xiang Ling is back!
He couldn't be too old and died?
What silly things are you saying? He is just asleep.
Grandpa Tree. Grandpa Tree!
You stop calling. Let me call him.
Wake up!
Wake up, you!
Help me, Xiang Ling!
Grandfather Tree, you're awake? I am Xiang Ling!
Who are you?
Did you sleep too long and forgot about me? I'm Xiang Ling.
Remember, remember. I'm just joking.
Xiang Ling, you came back?
Right, Grandfather Tree. This is my friend, Lan Sheng.
Grandfather Tree, nice to meet you.
Grandfather Tree, do you know where my parents are?
- I don't remember already.- This time, you're definitely joking with me again, right?
I have to go find them, hurry and tell me.
Xiang Ling, first help me ease my itch first.
I need to think clearly.
I'll do it. I'll help you scratch. You can take your time to think.
Good.
Mother, right now!
It's already night time.
If Mother wants to go out and take a walk, then go out and walk.
Mother, after you've fully recovered, I'll think of ways to revive Grandpa Qiu, Brother San Shui, and other clan members.
Mother, do you still remember Hu Tou?
That year during my birthday, he yelled me, calling me a fatherless child.
Even said that Mother doesn't like me.
Afterwards, didn't even care about me during my birthday.
Mother, I didn't intentionally fight with Hu Tou.
He yelled at me first. In the future, I have to practice hard at magic.
Study hard so that I won't embarrass Mother.
After I grow up, I will protect the whole village and its people.
Mother, I will definitely be able to do it!
Then tonight, can we not attend that ritual ceremony?
On my birthday, I just want to spend it at home.
I want Mother to eat a bowl of noodles with me.
As the next generation of protector, your issues are the whole village's issues
And the whole village's issues are your issues! Don't you understand this logic?
So willful! You can't do great things when your actions are dictated by your mortal feelings.
Don't say so much. Hurry and go prepare.
When I was young
Everyone called me "Lady Protector's Son"
I was rebellious in my heart
I eve thought, if there was one day when they all disappeared, that'd be great
But now that I think about it, I really regret it
I hope this time I can have a chance to change things
Is Lady Protector still like that, not eating or drinking?
Doesn't speak either, it's already been many days
Because she's been trapped in ice for too long
From the time Tusu met with that accident until now, it's been many years
Qing Xue
Is there something you want to say?
Don't keep it from me
In front of Tusu, what I should say or not, I know
I feel like, Lady Protector
Didn't really come back to life
Why do you say that?
In front of Susu, I don't dare to say these things
But from what I learned in Youdu since a child,
I feel like Lady Protector cannot possibly come back to life
Why?
Brother Ling Yue, let me ask you. How do you decide if someone is dead or alive?
Teacher once said, a live person has a spirit
That's right. Life has a spirit.
So when a person dies, the spirit will return to the River of Heaven
The quiet way to zenith is to enter into the endless sea.
That's why there are some memories on the way that cannot be rid of.
-Then what of it?-Once the spirit disappears
The body will become an emotionless container.
Even if it comes back to life, the spirit cannot come back to the body
Unless one goes into the depths of the world to find the memories.
Lady Protector has already been dead for many years
Even if there was a lot of things she couldn't let go of with Yunxi, her spirit cannot recross the River of Heaven
and return to her body once more
So I believe, the Lady Protector we see now
Should just be an empty body
And her spirit
Shouldn't return again
Could it be that Shao Gong couldn't understand this?
I feel like Shao Gong would believe in old books so much
is because he used to be like Yunxi, only wanting to revive Xun Fang
The only reason Shao Gong would believe this medicine could bring the dead back to life
is that he is lying to himself
In the end, what comes back to life is only the physical body
So this world doesn't have any method of bringing the dead back to life
I don't want to speak so pessimistically, Susu still has a string of hope.
You musn't say these things to Tusu, or else it will affect him greatly
But going on like this isn't the right way
I already sent the letter to Shao Gong
To untie the knot, the person who created it is needed. Just wait for his reply.

Qian Shang
How come you left without a word?
I had some urgent matters to attend to
So I didn't come back
Xun Fang
I have something to talk to you about
Come with me for a bit
Right now?
I have to go see Shao Gong
Qian Xiang, why don't we go together?
Wait! What do you want to do?
Xun Fang!
You're quite different from how you usually act
How could a royal beauty
have such strong martial arts?
Since you are so full of such arts
How could you repeatedly be captured by Qing Yu Tan's disciples
to threaten Shao Gong?
I'm from Peng Lai. Naturally I know a set of martial arts
The Peng Lai Princess
How could the Peng Lai Princess know the arts of Qing Yu Tan?
The move you did just now
Was clearly part of Qing Yu Tan's skill set
Why did you have to pretend to be Xun Fang?
Jin Niang!
How do you know?
Your impersonation of Xun Fang
There couldn't be just Lei Yen who knew that here
You killed Yuan Wu, so I couldn't ask things about Jin Niang!
Yuan Wu died?
You still want to act innocent?
Since the dead cannot be evidence
I don't have a choice
You, why did you have to harm Hua Shang?
She was an innocent girl
Why did you have to kill her?
I say
Are you, for your true love,
coming after me?
If you want to blame something blame her for knowing too much
Today I will get revenge for Hua Shang!
What's going on? (X2)

Shao Gong
How come I haven't see Qian Xiang these few days?
Qian Xiang originally liked to wander Jiang Hu
Since Qing Yu Tan couldn't keep him, we should let him go where he wants
Did you two fight?
Our path is not the same, so we don't plan together.
No need to put it in the heart
That's a shame
If he came back,
I won't see him
If he came back, I would have Qing Yu Tan's disciples drive him out
Your face doesn't look too good
Are you sick?
No(x2)
These days you've been very busy
I haven't slept too well at night
It's my fault, spending so much time creating medicine
I didn't care enough about you
It's not a problem
Shao Gong, your medicine...
Where will it be done?
Soon. After a few days it can come out of the oven
Aunt Tong, you're awake!
What place is this? Where's Shao Gong?
Shao Gong, he...
He's not in Qing Chuan
But Aunt Tong
You don't need to worry
Ru Qin, that Xun Fang
Is a fake!
The one by Shao Gong's side is not Xun Fang
Where is Shao Gong?
Hurry and go tell him!
He cannot trust that Xun Fang!
Xun Fang is a fake?
I...
Right now Shao Gong
is with Xun Fang at Qing Yu Tan
Aunt Tong, you can't move!
I need to go to Qing Yu Tan to tell him!
Your body just got better, you cannot go far
How about this
I will send someone to Qing Yu Tan to get him to come back quickly
Shao Gong
Shao Gong, I heard that today,
you're going to give medicine to the Qing Yu Tan disciples
Yes, the medicine is already done
I had to tell you this good news
Is this medicine very precious?
Why must you give it to those ungrateful people?
No reason. My heart is happy,
I finally reached my goal
I can be with you forever
Xun Fang
Do you remember our promise in Pun Lai?
We will always be together
Never grow old
alway youthful
I remember
I've waited for this day for a long time
stay by your side
till your hair turn white and old
after eating this medicine
how will there be white hair
My Xun Feng
You'll forever preserve a youthful appearance
After eating this
we will always
Do you not believe me?
Of course I believe (you)
Then, what about you?
After you have taken it, I will take it
Xun Feng
Do you not want to stay together with me?
Willing. I am willing.
Shao Gong
I think
How is it like this?(What is going on?)
How is it like this?
What a shame
How come you have changed back?
Do you think you can always use Xun Feng's look?
Oh, I forgot
Your face has a bug that can change your face.
Pity.
Forget it.
Mother
Susu
Take a rest, I'll help you look after her
Not looking after mother
she'll start to wonder outside after day break
What is exactly going on?
Shao Gong only said
that after the dead revive
shouldn't be affect by the light
but (he) never said
She'll run towards sunlight
Useless mother
wish for this in her heart
You shouldn't think too much
Ah Xiang must have arrive at Shao Gong's
and will return with a message really soon
Qing Xue
Do you think Shao Gong have made a mistake?
She must reach sunlight
In order to entirely heal
No way
Shao Gong wouldn't keep this from you
I think that you are too tire
You should take a rest, i'll help you look after her
Don't worry
just wait
Grandma
You are Ling Nu
You grew up in Yong Du since you were little
After going to the human world you've abandoned Youdu
and forgotten your own responsibilities
You really have let grandmother down
Grandma it not like that
listen to me explain (let me explain)
What's there to explain?
I don't want to talk to you anymore
You don't need to come back home either
Grandma let me finish talking
I'm in Wu Meng Valley right now
Lady Protector has come back to life
What?
She came back to life?
How is that possible?
Granny it's real!
Qing Xue
You also know, after someone dies their spirit will return to the Heavenly River
Even if there is a type of medicine to revive their body
They will not open their eyes
and definitely won't walk
And cannot see sunlight
Dead come back to life?
There's something like this?
I will go investigate Youdu's ancient records
You cannot do anything rash
Xiang Ling doesn't throw her temper like before.
When did I ever throw my temper?
You should thank your friend for taking care of you.
Grandfather Tree, you don't have to be so polite.
Who said you?
He's talking about Brother Tu Su and Sister Qing Xue.
Not you.
Young person, Xiang Ling was an orphan since childhood.
Growing up in the forest,
she developed a temper. Please be tolerant.
Don't worry, Grandfather Tree.
Xiang Ling is pretty alright.
She could not be any better.
Look, he praised me.
Xiang Ling's life has been rough.
Her father is the Nine-Tailed Celestial Fox from the overseas country, Qing Qiu.
Her mother is a mortal. The love between the human and the demon has not been successful.
Grandfather Tree, have you remembered something?
Grandfather Tree.
Human and demon really can't be together?
All things usually don't stay the same.
Bystanders also can't help it.
Lovers separated in the end,
leaving children to suffer by themselves.
Xiang Ling,
your father is Nine-Tailed Celestial Fox?
Listening to it, it's pretty amazing.
In the old days, her father was drawn into Qing Qiu's internal power battles.
He was intent on dying with the other
Before he died he came here
and gave Xiang Ling to me
and gave a part of his power to Xiang Ling
Or else she would not be able to become human
Then is my father alive?
I don't know
But now, the current Qing Qiu's leader
Is your biological uncle
Perhaps you should go look for him
But where is Qing Qiu?
By the ocean
It sounds very far away
Youngster
In the future please take good care of Xiang Ling
She doesn't have much of a conscience
Sometimes she looks very rude but she's really innocent
Grandpa Tree
Don't worry
I will definitely take good care of Xiang Ling
Grandpa Tree
I'm not a child anymore
I can take good care of myself
It'll soon be the night of the full moon
What should we do about Tusu?
What?
Do you not even have the patience to wait?
It's not that I don't have patience
In the beginning he said to wait a few days
so I was only slightly worried
But look at things now, it's already been half a month
don't even know how long we should wait for
I tell you
Don't bother Tusu
Don't worry brother
It's not like I don't understand things
I won't go bother him
Since you understand
You should go back to Qing Chuan
to ease your sister's worries
I still want to first go
to the overseas Qing Qiu to help Xiang Ling find her father.
Your sister wasn't wrong
You're really a little monkey
You only think about Xiang Ling
What is your sister and the Fang family supposed to do?
You don't care anymore?
I didn't say I don't care
I just want to first help Xiang Ling find her father
You want to go to Qing Qiu?
Do you know that to go out to the ocean it'll take at least three to five years?
Then where should I go find you?
You're still like this, going wherever you want
Okay okay
Don't talk anymore
I haven't talked to Xiang Ling about this yet
You promised me you wouldn't scold me
But...
I think, if I really want back to Qing Chuan
I don't know what I should say to my sister
I'm not a white wolf!(T/N: Emotionless person)
I really do miss my sister
I also miss Qing Chuan
Of course, I also miss you lots!
Don't be so sentimental
I'm not being sentimental
But I really don't know what to say to my sister
Tell the truth
You really should go back to Qing Chuan
Based on your personality, that place suits you best
Then what about you?
You'll come see me right?
You can come to Tian Yong City to find me
Then I better
go to Qing Qiu.
Then, you can fly on your sword to come see me
Can your sword bring people along?
Bring my sister too!
Then, there we can all
eat lots of stuff!
Brother!
I'm not done speaking yet!
Can you or not? Can you bring someone along while flying on your sword?
Mother
Please say something
Nodding your head would be good too
Susu
Are you okay?
I'm okay
My body is good, I can keep going
Susu
You haven't slept in many days
Go take a rest
As soon as the sun rises
She'll go towards the outside
How come Ah Xiang still hasn't come back?
Susu
I want to say something to you
-But you must not get mad-I know what you want to say
Mother won't be like this forever
-Then what if the medicine's results are like this?
Impossible!
Why would Shao Gong lie to me?
That's not what I'm saying
What if he himself doesn't know the effects?
My mother has already awoken
Now she just needs to say something
If she never says anything will you wait forever?
Qing Xue!
It's not like I can't wait with you
I'm worried about your health!
I'm willingly doing this
If you're tired then go back
You're talking like that again
Where do you want me to go back to?
To Youdu
If you're willing to live in Wu Meng Valley that works too
Qing Xue
I want to be alone
Mother
Qing Xue is the girl I like
But
I always make her sad
and make her heartbroken
Lan Sheng also once said
I don't even know what I did in my previous life that earned a good girl like Qing Xue to be by my side
Mother
After you wake up
You'll definitely like her
I have to apologize to her
Apologize to her...
Eat something

Mother!
Susu!
Have you seen my mother?
Did she come out?
Listen to me first
-Granny has gone through old books-Later, first we have to find my mother, the sky will be light soon
My Lady!
Mother!
My Lady!
Mother!
Mother
Mother!
Aren't you the little lady who follows Baili Tusu all the time?
Speak
Where is Baili Tusu?
How should I know?
Save me!
Hurry come and save me!
Scream
Wait for Baili Tusu to come save you
Grandpa Tree! Save me!
Grandpa Tree!
Who's here causing trouble?
-Monster!-Grandpa Tree! Save me!
Second Eldest brother! Save us!
Save us!
I'll burn you!
No!
Grandpa Tree
Grandpa Tree!
Xiang Ling?
Granny couldn't find the origins to the revival pill
Perhaps there really isn't this type of medicine
But in the old books in Youdu
There are records of an ancient worm
This type of bug's uses are very similar to the revival pill
It's name is Jiao Ming
If this type of bug enters a human's body
It'll start to multiply inside the body
In the end, it'll turn the body into a husk that likes sunlight
But if it meets sunlight
It'll disappear
In the books there was a lying emperor
who said this could make people live forever
The thing he referred to was Jiao Ming
Said it could defy the heavens
and bring the dead back to life
How is that possible?
Could it be that Shao Gong was wrong?
Defective people in the end are defective.
Not following the Heavenly Principles, going against the way of Heaven,
You'll only be treated as a monster by the world's people
Susu!
Qing Xue!
Save us!
Would you look at who it is
Isn't it Reverend Ziyin's precious disciple
Baili Tusu?
How come I only see, a murderous monster?
Ling Duan!
What do you want to do?
Let go of them!
Eldest Senior Brother
I already gave you multiple chances
But until now you're still protecting him
bringing this monster back and forth, not returning to Tian Yong City!
Then you can't blame me
You're the one being sneaky and using underhanded tricks!
Setting fire and burning up the mountain, you're unreasonable!
Shut up!
If you're coming on order from above, then only go after me, don't harm other people!
Tusu!
Don't let the murderous aura control you!
Please wake up! Think of Teacher!
Baili Tusu!
If you have bravery then have a fight with me!
I want to see what kind of great potential a monster like you has
What is it?
You don't dare to fight with your fellow disciple?
I think you're just a useless piece of trash!
You still dare to say you're under Reverend Ziyin
Ling Duan shut up!
What do you count as?
Always following this monster around
You still dare to say so much here?
Tusu gege!
Tusu, you're amazing!
Susu!
No!
Don't!
Lan Sheng!
Tusu!
Calm down!
Brother!
Tusu
Please wake up!
Susu!
Susu
Wake up
Susu
You said that no matter what you wouldn't let it control you!
Susu wake up!
Guilty towards the skies,
no more association.
Susu
Do I have to die in front of you
to wake you up?
I can't harm Qing Xue
-Susu-I can't harm Qing Xue
Susu!
Don't let the sword control you!
Don't let it control you
Susu!
-Susu-Burning Sword
I won't submit to you!
Burning Sword, I won't submit to you!
I won't submit to you!
Susu!
Tusu!

This is a type of martial arts I created myself
Especially to help you suppress the murderous aura
But your body has gained two more demonic auras, which are always fighting with each other
And the murderous aura does not want to give way
It is very troublesome.
Teacher, these two demonic auras are because..
Fu Qu already told me about the incidents at Iron Column Temple and Gan Quan Village.
I believe Zhao Lin's death had nothing to do with you
In the four years I was in seclusion, I always thought you were in Tian Yong City
And this exercise is only used against the murderous aura within your body.
But there is still something I don't understand
Inside your body, there is a fourth type of spiritual power
It's a type from the Nuwa tribe
Has someone ever used Nuwa's power to save you?
and sent their own cultivation into your body to control the murderous aura?
Senior Ziyin
So it was you
Already so big, Qing Xue
If Su Su completes this exercise,
along with You Du's secret skills,
can it eliminate the effects of the murderous aura?
In order to combine these three internal energies, if there is not enough strength,
then even I can't do anything.
Enough
First come back to Tian Yong City with me to plan
Teacher!
I...
I don't want to return to Tian Yong City
Why do you say that?
Do you not want your life?
Actually Teacher you knew early on
If you hadn't spent cultivation on my body
I wouldn't have lived until today
What nonsense!
If I knew you would be destroyed by it one day
Why would I have bothered saving you?
When disciple went to Yao Shan to collect medicine,
I encountered an ancient black dragon called Qian Yu.
It told me everything.
I understand.
Teacher wanted me to let go of distractions.
and clear my mind in Tian Yong city
Even if my murderous aura cannot be healed
I can live for at least another three to five years
But after I went down hill,
I found out that if someone is alive there are many things you can do
I can make friends
Work to save people
Even if it's across mountains and rivers, it's still better than...
It's still better than to cowardly hold on to life in Tian Yong City
I don't dare!
Your disciple just wants to follow his heart
Even if I die,
I will die without regrets
According to your own heart?
Then in the future, if your body's murderous aura becomes uncontrollable, then what?
Before that happens
-I will conclude myself
Ridiculous!
How could someone so young be so depressing?
If you are willing to think this way today
Then do not regret in the future
That year when I saved you
I didn't want you to deal with your life this way
I won't regret today's words
You won't regret...
Please fulfill my wish Teacher!
I once had a good friend
He also, no matter what
wanted to live according to his heart's desires
No matter how the experience continues to torture you
how the world continues to cause troubles for you,
He still blindly went forward, never taking back his words. He also never cared about the consequences.
The you right now
Is not much different from him then
This situation, is indeed quite similar
Forget it
After cultivating in seclusion, what is there that I cannot do?
It is I anyway
Since you have already decided to do things this way
Then go as you wish
Thank you Teacher
Ling duan
As a disciple of Tian Yong City
You opened the seal on a dangerous demon
And used demonic power to make your junior disciples come down the mountain
all just for your personal revenge!
Reverend!
I was just stupid for a moment
Please let me go Reverend!
I can let go of the fact that you went after Baili Tusu
But you set fire to the mountain without a care for other's lives
This is a grave crime!
According to Tian Yong City's rules
Willingly inviting demons, harming fellow disciples
Originally you should have been killed on the spot
Reverend!
Please spare my life Reverend!
Teacher
Ling Duan is still Head Reverend's disciple
How about we take him to Tian Yong City to punish?
No need
Before I came down the mountain Fuqu already woke up and told me about Ling Duan summoning a demon
I've been allowed to completely take care of it
First, to destroy all of Ling Duan's cultivation
and then kick him out of Tian Yong City!
