The Legend of Qin{Episode 29}
I never did understand
Why did you come back?
Why did you have to do such a thing?
But now...
I finally found the answer.
You would rather die than let Lord Dong know what was in your heart.
Because you had a daughter who had your blood and power.
You planned your death just to protect her.
In so many years,
I had to force myself to accept everything and barely lived.
But I have never given up.
Because I know
One day
The heavens
would give me this opportunity.
Everyone! Bow to Ju Zi!
One bow!
Second bow!
Third bow!
Yue Er.
Father!
Everyone go back!
Yue Er. Let's go.
I want to be with him alone for a little longer.
Yue Er.
I think...Ju Zi left with no regrets.
Before he left, he was able to reunite with the daughter he loved.
It should be very comforting.
I now understand
why father never acknowledged me.
It's not that he didn't want to.
It was for me.
He wasn't willing,
to let me feel the pain of losing a father twice.
You came to comfort me,
but why do you look more sad than me?
It's nothing, nothing. I don't want anything now.
I just want to stay by you.
You cannot trick me. There is something in your heart.
Actually...
I am very afraid as well.
Afraid of what?
I cannot say clearly what it is either. Everything that I don't know yet makes me feel frightened.
Thinking to a year ago, I was still a silly kid living in a mountain village with no cares or worries.
But now? Everything has changed too quickly.
I also feel like I've grown up.
Uncle also said that I'm not that stubborn child of the past anymore.
But to be Ju Zi and lead the Mohist family,
let's not talk about how everyone won't submit. Even I cannot trust myself.
But I did promise Ju Zi.
Just what should I do?
Since no one knows the future,
then why be set thinking that it's frightening?
Perhaps it'll be bright and beautiful.
My father passed the Ju Zi position to you because he trusted you.
So, I trust you as well.
Because, my father's choice cannot be wrong.
Yue Er, for your words just now, I will work hard too!
One day, I will become a person like your father and Uncle!
I will become a real hero! I will protect the ones who love me
and those I love too.
I won't let them be harmed or suffer at all!
Yue Er, look! It's shooting stars!
Yue Er, why did that light up?
You'll turn the first one, and I'll turn the second one, okay?
-It's really pretty, right?-Right!
Is it fun?
Look, every layer can spin.
Heavenly stars just like on the earth have temperament.
Blue Dragon (seven mansions of the east sky), White Tiger (seven mansions of the west sky), Black Tortoise (seven mansions of the north sky), Vermillion Bird ( seven mansions of the south sky).
Just like temperament of the five notes of the pentatonic scale.
Different notes can produce different music.
As well as to fill the whole sky having uneven order arrangement to start
is playing music sound just like a movement second to none.
A movement second to none?
This is too amazing! Yue Er, how did you do it?
My mother once told me,
each level and corner of the magic music box represents a different note.
At the same time corresponds to the night sky different stars.
Yue Er, what's inside?
This is...a letter!
Mother wrote this!
Ru Er, I'm sorry.
If I didn't have the Xi clan's blood in my veins,
If I'm not one of the first 8 Trigrams Jade Tablet (female principle symbolizing earth). We will be able to be like the whole world
and live together happily.
And you wouldn't have to carry such a heavy burden since you were born.
All of this is my fault.
When you get this letter, I think we'll have been separated already in heaven and earth.
I don't have a chance to personally tell you all of this.
I could only leave the truth in the magic music box.
I hope that one day, you can know the secret that the Xi clan has guarded for so many years.
The Xi clan has two ancient treasures.
Chien Source Jade Spirit (Note: Chien symbolizes masculinity)
The Jade Spirit is a jade stone that contains special power.
As for the Jade Scepter, it's a human being.
It existed within the blood of the Xi clan for generations.
When the Evil Jade and Jade Scepter are together,
It will be safely asleep. But if its power is sent into a human body,
it will wake up.
The Jade Scepter is the only thing that can control the Evil Jade.
The Evil Jade and Jade Scepter are just like the yin yang theory.
They are a pair, and can feel each other's presence.
Four years ago in the winter, I suddenly felt that the inside of my body was becoming agitated.
There was a power that wanted to force itself out.
I strongly felt that in the distant Xianyang, the power of the Jade Spirit has been awaken.
Lord Dong Huang Da Yi and the Zhong Che Chief of Qin, Zhao Gao, finally decided to start implementing their plan.
It seems like I was also born on that winter day.
The day when I gave birth to you, the power of the Jade Scepter in my body suddenly disappeared.
I was extremely happy
to be finally able to live as an ordinary person.
That's what I have always wanted but
I didn't imagine that the power of the Jade Scepter was transferred to you.
Mom. Look at the stars shining so beautifully.
1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6,...
7... 21, 22, 23...
24, 25, 25...
25, 27...
28, 29...
30.
So many stars. I can't count them anymore.
Mom, there are lots of stars.
Starting from today, don't tell anyone that you can see the stars.
But...
Promise Mom that you can't tell anyone.
Okay then.
I hid this
Because I know that the Xi people will never let me off.
It's just that I didn't think that day
would come that soon.
It has been a long time.
Go back with me to Xianyang and meet Lord Donghuang.
My daughter is sick. Please give me a few more days.
I will definitely go back with you after a few days.
Kneeling is useless. Wait for Lord Dong to punish you.
Please ask Lord Donghua for this favour.
After a few days, I will definitely go back with you.
I'm begging you.
In order that they will not find out about your existence,
I secretly sent you away
and then I told the outside world that you'd died from an illness.
I didn't know how long this arrangement would protect you.
Thus, I left this letter just in case
if, one day, they really find you,
It's not like you won't know anything.
I hope that this day will never come.
because as the Jade Scepter, you are fated to carry a terrible burden.
According to the writing in the Xi's ancient script,
once you kill the Jade Scepter as sacrifice in the prescribed rite,
the owner of the Jade Spirit can absorb all of its power
to be so powerful that he can destroy our world.
And he will become a puppet of the rite performer.
Sorry, Mom can't take care of you.
I can't see you growing up.
I only hope that you can forever leave this fight,
and live a peaceful and quiet life.
If this wish can be fulfilled,
I'm willing to trade everything for this.
Starting from now, her name is Gao Yue. She is an orphan raised by you.
Take her far away from here now.
What's wrong? She is still have a fever.
Quick, take her away now as far away as possible.
What exactly happened?
This child has continue my bloodline.
She... she is the Jade Scepter.
What?
This is a secret that has to do with the Xi clan's survival!
I don't have time to tell you the details.
You just remember, if my clan learns about her identity, she will have the danger of being drown.
Quick, leave now.
It's too late. Use the back door. Leave now,
This is my daughter's grave.
Three days ago, she fell sick and died.
I buried her here.
Ruo Er. Mom's Ru Er.
Mom.
The Xi clan...
Zhao Gao?
Jade Scepter?
Evil Jade?
I understand now.
I finally understand now
Why the Yin Yang theorists kept hunting me.
Why they sent Shao Si Ming to secretly protect me.
Why they thought of a way to let me to to Xianyang.
Why I had clearly completely lost it,
Once when I met you, everything was fine.
I understand now. I finally understand now.
You are Evil Jade
and I'm the Jade Scepter.
Tian Ming, I'm afraid.
I...
I don't know what I should do in the future.
If the Yin Yang theorists really...
Yue Er.
Yue Er, don't be afraid. I'm here.
Just like what you said, the future can't be that scary.
I believe with our hard work, we can change everything.
Yue Er. No matter what happens,
I will always be with you.
Even if we go to the corners of the earth,
no matter what,
I will always hold your hand and will never let go.
Move aside.
Emperor Father, I have committed a mistake. Please punish me.
What mistake did you commit?
Father, I happened to find out, that the one who was attacking Mechanism City
was Ge Nie's fellow disciple Wei Zhuang.
I was afraid that our brothers would fall into the Mohist trap.
In this situation, I did not rush back to tell you first, Father.
I moved on my own volition and moved soldiers there.
When I arrived there, the army was already confined in Mechanism City.
I send a troop to rescue them and also sent another to find the nucleus of Mechanism City and destroyed it.
According to what you said, how should I punish you then?
You were decisive in your action, and seized victory with unexpected strategy.
Would I bear to punish you?
The impenetrable Mechanism City that could not be entered for one hundred years was completely destroyed by you.
If I punish you, wouldn't the world say I was being ridiculous?
I should reward you.
Reward him well.
- Thank you, Emperor Father. - Rise.
Fu Su. Today, this is the first time you made me feel
you are my Qin country's undeniable eldest prince!
You have my respects.
In future, the kingdom will belong to you.
Where is Hai Er?
Zhao Gao.
Present.
As a teacher, you haven't been good enough.
From now on, teach him more closely. He is still young and should work hard at learning things.
He should not act so recklessly in the future.
I admit my mistake.
I will definitely closely remember your advice,
and teach Prince Hu Hai well.
Enough, it ends here today.
Everyone, leave.
Fu Su, stay behind.
Where is Shao Si Ming?
It was your disciple, that stupid disciple who did something wrong!
The Jade Scepter would have been returned to me.
If not, how could we have come to this stage today?
My Lord Donghuang.
My Lord.
Where is she? Where is Shao Si Ming?
My Lord, I was the one who let her go.
You have a lot of guts.
My Lord, I let her go not because I spoiled her,
But to let her bring merit on her crimes.
What do you mean?
My Lord, I won't hide from you. After my interrogation,
She said that she already know the whereabouts of the Jade Scepter.
Jade Scepter?
- Is this true? - I'm very sure of it.
I believe she will hand over the Jade Scepter to you soon.
Excellent.
But if she is not successful?
If she fails, I will you handle her.
Tian Ming.
Shaoyu, what's wrong?
I have something to discuss with you.
- I think that... - Wait.
Yue Er!
Yue Er! Where are you?
Mr Ge. We have already searched everywhere. We can't find her.
Forget it. It's getting dark. Tell everyone to go back.
Yes. Everyone, go back.
Go back. Let's go.
- Are you okay? - I'm fine.
Yue Er must be fine too.
Yue Er is fine.
Tian Ming!
They are back.
So how?
Isn't this Yue Er's hair ornament?
Yue Er has been captured. I found this at the entrance of the valley.
I also found a horse's footprints.
Her hair ornament must have fell off from the horse.
How could this happen?
But why did they capture Yue Er?
Why?
According to the writing in the Xi's ancient script, once you kill the Jade Scepter as sacrifice in the prescribed rite,
the owner of the Jade Spirit can absorb all of its power
to be so powerful that he can destroy our world.
Once you kill the Jade Scepter as sacrifice in the prescribed rite,
Once you kill the Jade Scepter as sacrifice.
The Yin Yang clan.
It's the Yin Yang clan. This is bad. Yue Er is in danger.
- I'm going to save her. Tian Ming, where are you going?
Yue Er is in danger. I'm going to save her.
Tian Ming, keep calm.
How are you going to save her? And where?
I don't know how but I'm going to save her.
Tian Ming, listen to me.
You are the leader of Mohists now. If you were to leave, what are we supposed to do?
That's right.
Tian Ming, stay calm.
Shaoyu is right. Yue Er needs to be saved
but you are the new leader of the Mohists. You should be answerable to us too.
That's right.
It's also not the solution for us to sit and wait here.
I just discussed with Zi Fang.
Why don't we go to another place?
Guanzhong and Nanjuan are too dangerous. If we have to leave, let's go farther away.
There is a Mandong mountain in Dongjung.
That is not bad. My brother is living there.
It's the Liu Ji in Peixian. We can cover each other's back if we go there.
Isn't that so, Zi Fang?
I have also met Brother Chui's brother.
He is a good person, always act with righteousness. He is also very complimentary of Mo Family.
I believe he will welcome us.
How is the terrain like in Mandong Mountain?
Mandong Mountain has dense woods and complicated terrain
with an abundant fauna. It's suitable for hiding.
Since this is the case, it's definitely a good place.
Dong Er.
Say something.
I'm fine with it.
I will follow everyone's agreement to meet with that Liu Ji.
Okay, Zi Fang has always been considerate and careful in his conduct.
I trust him in this.
Miss Rong, Xiao Gao, Miss Xue Nu. What do you think of this?
I only know about saving people. I cannot say much about planning.
I will leave it to you.
Xiao Gao and I will leave with everyone.
Tian Ming.
He just accepted the leadership of the Mohists. He doesn't know much about our affairs yet.
Why don't you discuss this with us?
Okay. I... don't have any objections.
If no objections, we will do as discussed. We will disembark tomorrow.
We will be safe when we are my brother's place. We will look for Miss Yue Er then.
Alright, let's disperse!
Wait.
I... still have something to say.
I know I'm a foolish kid who doesn't know anything.
Even though I have received the Chief Leader's power and trust,
I don't know how many lives worth of fortune it is from.
It's common for everyone not to accept it.
I can't even get used to it yet.
I don't have the substance.
I'm not good with martial arts and strategies.
I want to help everyone but I don't know what to do.
But since I have promised to fulfill Chief Leader's wish,
I must be a man.
Since the Chief Leader gave his post to me
but he also would wanted me to protect Yue Er.
Now the Mohist family has all these commanders to lead
and also decided on the direction for the group.
However Yue Er is still in danger.
There is no one to depend on.
I know that choosing to leave and save Yue Er at this time is very selfish of me
but I need to do this.
Shaoyu. You also went through the road of trials.
Regardless of whether it's martial arts or strategies, you are strong than me.
I'm now requesting you to take care of my brothers on my behalf
and go through the trials and tribulations with the Mohists. Okay?
Okay.
I agree.
Great.
Rascal. Since you have decided to go,
then immediately set out. You must be fast.
I will wait for you to bring back Yue Er
to massage my back.
Teacher.
Where is Gao Yue?
When I was there, she was already gone.
The Mohists are looking for her.
How could you be so stupid?
Since you didn't capture her and bring her back, why did you come back? Are you seeking death?
Teacher. I...
I didn't know where to go.
Even more so, if I leave, what will happen to you?
Don't bother about me.
Leave now.
Leave!
What's wrong? You are back so soon?
To let Da Si Ming set you out to bring merit on your crimes. I believe you must have been very sure of yourself?
Tell me what is the end result.
Da Si Ming, looks like you have overestimated her again.
You ridiculous thing! You ruined my plans repeatedly,
You don't qualify to wear the Hun Yuan jewel of my Xi's clan to fortify your strength.
Starting from today, I shall go according to the rules
and kill those useless people.
Take her away.
Lord Donghuan.
Wait.
What is the meaning of this?
Lord Donghuang, I have brought back the Jade Scepter.
Are you saying that she is Pi Hua's daughter?
Yes. Furthermore, she has received all the power from her younger sister.
Her younger sister killed herself to hide the fact that she is still alive.
Lord Donghuan, I was clueless at that time
and released my younger sister who betrayed us.
All these years, I have wanted to redeem myself.
Today, I'm able to share Lord Donghuang's worries.
I have fulfilled my wish and can die without any regret.
Excellent. You did well.
Now that we have the Jade Scepter, we won't be afraid of the Evil Jade's return.
Our Xi clan has always clearly separated rewards and punishments.
You did something great this time, so you will be well rewarded.
Why are you talking about death? Get up.
Thank you, Lord Donghuan.
You both, take her away.
Yes.
Da Si Ming, leave too.
Yes.
Let me think carefully now
If we can use the Jade Scepter
to lure the Evil Jade back...
♫ Leave all victories and defeats to yesterday ♫
♫ Only when the sparrows return can I admire the wind and moon ♫
♫ The poems in the light of the blade, the shadow of the sword ♫
♫ By the time they’re sung, I’ve long been devoid of grievances ♫
♫ Ignore the whitening hair and life, ignore the years flowing past like water ♫
♫ Once the fire in your heart is extinguished, the flowers will emerge ♫
♫ Long ago, life has already doubled upon itself, ♫
♫ Completed itself ♫
♫ Hearts tied to one another, lives connected with each other ♫

♫ This life, whether complete or flawed, ♫
♫ I belong within your heart ♫
