Lost Love in Time Episode 01
According to the ancient records, Wu clan, made of strong sorcerers, hid from the outer world in a deep forest, not caring for the mundane world.
People of the Wu clan gather together the spirits of all things
and formed Mingyi Tower to support imperial household of Mingyi ruler.
They took upon themselves to protect the common people everywhere.
Today, for the first time, the most exorbitant sorceress' assessment
is being held.
This test is meant to assess ones ability to respond to sudden crisis.
Only the one who will pass the mythical territory
will be crowned as the sorceress,
and will be sent to guard not only the imperial household
but especially the commoners.
Today's sorceress selection is exceptionally intense.
Every time we held an athletics tournament for sorceresses,
everyone puts in their most efforts.
Is senior perhaps worried about Qing Chen?
Who do you think
will win the game?
I think it's a close competition.
In the final match between sorceresses, three persons advance to the second round.
They are thus proficient enough to represent Wu clan in the world.
Their last assignment
is to search and locate a water source nearby.
The first two persons who will find the water source will pass the final assessment.
Qing Chen is truly your disciple.
Since she got past the qualifying round, she still has a chance to pass.
Let's observe how well she fares.
The position of sorceress is predestined and brings great responsibility.
One has to be able to protect both the Emperor and his people.
Long live the Emperor!
This year the Fourth One claimed the bow.
He can enter the training fields.
Not only does the Fourth Brother lead the Xuan Jia army every year,
but Imperial Father relies heavily on him and sends him with Xuan Jia army
to defeat the enemies every time there is a war.
His repeated outstanding military service gives him great merits.
I just just follow Imperial Father's teachings.
I would not dare to claim the merit for Xuan Jia army defeating the enemies.
I have so many sons,
yet only you are a little like me.
Seventh One. Did you recovered enough
to resume your position in the training fields?
Responding to Imperial Father, there are no obstructions to it.
How could I not attend the country biggest ceremony?
I dare not compete with Fourth Brother,
but Imperial Father orders it though,
I will use it as a possibility to gather more experience.
My towering sons always revere military skills.
I come here every year to inspect the military training of our troops.
I just want you to forget ancestral training
and hon your mind skills.
The one who first snatches the golden talisman,
will be heavily rewarded by me.
We will follow the Imperial father's teachings.
Senior, for an auspicious star to appear at this moment...
Appearance of a double star changes the situation.
Death is inevitable.
They were originally hidden but now they are shining brighter and brighter.
Maybe
the double star will be able to suppress the power of the palace?
At this moment
Fourth One should already have entered the training fields.
Let's go.
A pouch in the centre of a maze. Do they want to fool us?
Nevertheless, we need to check it.
This is not a gold talisman.
These are military troops' emblems.
Fourth Brother...
So you truly have the military emblems in your hand.
Father issued an imperial decree to search for the stolen military emblems.
I did not expect
that it was you who stole them.
Your Highness, there is no need to side with this pesky person.
Since he was caught red-handed, we should obey the Emperor's decree and execute him.
Stealing the soldiers' symbols is considered a treason.
The thief should be brought back to the palace to face the Emperor.
If he resists, he is to be killed within the borders of training fields.
Someone just set a trap for Fourth Brother!
We found these military emblems in the heart of the maze.
We thought it is the golden talisman.
We did not think this will end in making Fourth Brother guilty of stealing the military emblems.
We saw it with our own eyes.
Father's imperial decree is clear about it.
Ninth Brother!
Since the ruler demands my death,
what else can I say?
Could it be...
Could it all be set up by the Imperial Father?
Go back now.
There will be no way out soon.
Eleventh Brother,
as long as you confirm to the Imperial Father
that it was Fourth Brother who stole the emblems,
father will no longer investigate you, in the name of the father and son bonds,
but he will also reward you.
You want me to become as hateful as you are
and falsely accuse Fourth Brother because of my own greed?
Third Brother tries to sooth your sentence. Do not obstinately persist in going about things the wrong way.
I will follow Fourth Brother back and forth (I know the sense of propriety).
You are alone in the training fields.
Do you think you can capture both of us?
I naturally did not dare to take it lightly.
Kill him!
Eleventh!
Teacher said once that the sun
often omits valleys.
It means that the water should be probably near here.
Fourth Brother,
your outstanding talent should be merited.
If you throw your sword away and surrender now,
me and your other royal brothers
will speak for you in front of the Imperial Father.
I have never surrendered Xuan Jia army to the enemy.
Even if there was a sword hanging above my head, I have never surrendered.
Fourth Brother should know
that his merits from the past will not improve his ending fate.
My name was often smeared during the inner power struggles.
We are all aware who did it this time.
It is not only the Imperial Father
who cannot tolerate me, right?
Stop talking nonsense!
Ninth Brother, take down Fourth One and go back to report it.
The great Wei State will fall into your hands in the future.
If you are such kind of men,
do you think you can truly rule this country?
Cut him down!
I have never been at the mercy of anybody.
I will determine my fate by myself.
Eleventh,
take care.
Fourth Brother!
It's truly fortunate that you met me. Otherwise you would met your death already.
Chest injury?
Fortunately your inner organs are intact.
Do you understand medicine?
I have little experience in it.
But in the case of your wound, if it is not treated timely, I am afraid it can endanger your life.
Someone found water already.
If i do not find it here, it will be too late.
I have to tell you something else.
Outsiders are not allowed to enter the mythical territory.
You should hurry up and leave. Do not stir any troubles.
If this is the mythical territory...
then you are a sorceress...
Who are you?
Water stream?
Someone entered the mythical territory?
Person who entered the mythical territory is not a stranger.
It is someone connected to the double star.
Convergence of two stars heralds something that cannot be avoided.
It seems that Qing Chen's fate
has already found her.
- Search more carefully!- Yes!
Teacher, Elder, I found the water under the cliff.
Congratulations. As promised you have passed the sorceress' assessment.
Thank you for Elder's guidance.
An outsider came to mythical territory today.
You should not run around all over the place today.
Yes, Teacher.
Since you passed the sorceress' assignment,
you are entitled to be the keeper of our secrets.
This is a key to the most
important secrets of the sorcerers' clan.
You will learn them all in the future.
I will definately protect them.
You may go.
For decades
no outsider came to mythical territory.
Since it happened today,
I am afraid the things you worry about will fulfill themselves.
Unexpected convergence of two stars appeared.
Since one start is destined to fall from the sky,
no matter who would it be, it will not be a happy sight.
I am just afraid that the calamity that will befall the world
will bring the end to the Wu clan.
I have planned this game of chess for twenty years.
We will be able to protect this world
and keep the Wu clan safe.
I have used the best medicine on you.
You should wake up quickly and leave. You do not belong here.
- Go and take a look. - Yes.
- You two, check this side. - Yes.
Mingyan.
What is it about?
We received a secret order to guard the mythical territory more vigilantly in the next days
to prevent strangers to come through. The female guards of Wu clan cannot fail.
If there is anything abnormal, report it immediately. All right.
I felt your pulse moments ago.
Your condition is already stable.
Why are you not waking up?
Right now I can only take you to one safe place.
Elder, we have searched the whole area around the mythical territory
but we have not found the intruder.
Shall we continue with the search?
You can go back. No need to search for him anymore.
I will personally handle this matter.
Retreat.
Yes.
Mr. Mo sent news from the palace. Situation in the palace changed.
Emperor unexpectedly attacked King of Ling.
Could it be that the emperor already knows how the former emperor lost his life?
So many years have passed.
King of Ling's true identy cannot be hidden forever.
The very same year due to the enemy's misgivings,
we decided to support the current emperor.
But the life of King of Ling is what our clan owes the last emperor.
We have to keep him alive at any cost.
If what Mr. Mo writes in his letter is true,
King of Ling was framed as a thief of military emblems
and fell from a cliff to his death after encountering massive forces sent to behead him,
then
he was the one who came to the mythical territory today.
Could he be the one heralded by the star?
You must not disclose it to anyone before we find him.
Send the order to secret guard to be prepared for any eventualities.
If King of Ling really entered the mythical territory,
royal household will probably not be willing to take things lying down.
I will
personally find him.
Just stay here obediently.
You can hide here for one day, just one day.
I brought the military troops back to the capital per imperial decree.
I respectfully inquire about Enperor's health.
King of Ling decided
to rule the world.
As expected.
This rumour spread out throughout the whole day.
It looks as I, the emperor,
should yield to someone more worthy of this place.
I have never entertained such thought
while leading the troops. I ask Imperial Father to investigate this matter.
You still have the nerve to say it?!
