"It's a tower of joy and sorrow, gatherings and farewells."
"As the rose and shadow scatter, loneliness resurfaces."
"Flowers bloom on the other side, while they wilt where we stand."
"Snow Tower, Episode 1"
Moon Sect prevailed in Nanjiang area.
They perform sorcery under the guise...
of worshiping the God of Moon,
bringing ruins to the people.
Xiao Shi Shui, Leader of Snow Tower.
led the masters of martial arts of the time,
Bai Di, Xue Gu...
and an unorthodox swordsman, the Blood Demon,
together they went to Nanjiang...
and battled with the Moon Sect,
ending in mutual destruction.
Moon Sect was discontent.
They sneaked into Central Plain.
A war raged between the Snow Tower and the Moon Sect.
"Shu Jing Rong, Daughter of Blood Demon"
"Shu Xue Wei, Blood Demon"
Jing, your writing has improved.
What's the matter?
Back then,
mother used to write on the lantern with me.
"Pea..."
Jing, do you miss your mother?
After we let the lantern into the sky,
your mother will be very happy...
when she sees it in heaven.
Is that true?
Will mother really see it in heaven?
Let's release the lantern into the sky now,
so that she will bless us with peace,
all right?
"Peace"
"Hua Lian, Leader of Moon Sect"
All hail, Mistress.
Hua Lian!
Blood Demon.
You killed countless lives.
Are you in any position to attack Moon Sect for the world?
Why don't you turn against them...
and demolish Snow Tower for me?
I may even spare...
both of your lives.
How dare you say this, when it was you,
Moon Sect, that killed my wife?
I, Shu Xue Wei, may have taken countless lives,
but they were all deceitful men.
I am unlike you, Moon Sect.
When you promised Xiao Shi Shui...
to help him ambush my sect,
you should've known you and your family...
would end up here.
Never did I expect...
that the infamous Blood Demon is such a foolish man.
You helped Snow Tower with all your heart.
But did you know...
that all Xiao Shi Shui has done...
was to save his wife?
While you...
are risking your family for him.
Is that worth it?
Father.
Attack!
Father!
Jing!
Father!
It's useless.
I've implanted blood venom in you.
Father!
Kill her,
once and for all.
No one in this world can hold you back anymore.
Go,
kill your daughter.
Kill her!
Father.
Father!
Are you really going to kill me?
What are you waiting for?
Hurry and kill this evil little creature!
Father!
Father, I'm Jing! Father!
Father! Father!
What are you still waiting for?
Kill her!
Father!
Hua Lian.
Every debt has its debtor, every injustice has its perpetrator.
I hope you can...
spare my daughter's life.
Father!
Father.
My child.
An eye for an eye is how I've lived my life.
I've taken countless lives.
Father.
It's time I paid for it.
Father.
My child.
Live well.
Do not take revenge.
Father.
You must treasure your life.
Father!
Father, wake up!
Don't you want me anymore?
Father!
Don't you want me anymore?
I will kill you.
You're just a witless girl.
I will kill you!
Attack!
Xiao Shi Shui?
"Xiao Shi Shui, Leader of Snow Tower"
Mister Zhong.
Hurry and take Blood Demon's daughter away.
I won't leave!
My father is still here. I won't leave!
Child, don't worry.
I will make arrangements for your father's funeral.
I won't leave!
Hurry.
Put me down! I won't leave!
Let me go!
Hua Lian.
As the leader of Moon Sect,
you've been practicing sorcery...
for your own benefits.
I shall be the law for heaven's sake...
and put an end to this!
You claim that you're acting on righteous principle.
In fact,
it's for Xue Wen whom you're longing for.
Xue Wen is your junior.
Why won't you spare her?
If I spare her,
then who will spare me?
Since you two can't let go,
I shall help you put an end to this.
Master Xiao.
From today on,
Xue Wen will cease to exist in Moon Sect.
She will never be by your side ever again.
What do you mean by that?
Rebel Xue Wen...
has been sentenced to death.
Beyond redemption!
Xue Wen.
Xue Wen!
"The Grave of Blood Demon, Shu Xue Wei"
The dead will not resurrect.
Your father was the alliance of Master Xiao.
Now that you have nowhere to go,
why not come with me to Snow Tower.
How's that?
"Xiao Yi Qing"
Young Tower Master.
Why are you here?
Tower Master has called on me to take good care of her.
But this girl is very stubborn.
She refuses to go back to Snow Tower.
Let's go.
My name is Xiao Yi Qing.
Watch out, Young Master!
It's okay.
I'm the Young Master of Snow Tower.
My father was badly injured in the battle last night.
He's being treated in the tower.
I'm very regretful...
we failed to capture Hua Lian.
It's fine if you don't wish to go.
I'll stay here with you...
until you make up your mind.
Young Master.
I'm fine.
Young Master.
This girl has gone through dire hardship,
and even stayed up all night.
It must be hard for her to persevere until now.
Young Master,
the forest is too cold.
And your old illness is relapsing.
Let me take you back to Snow Tower now.
If she doesn't want to go back,
we shouldn't force her.
But Young Master, you...
Go... Go to Sand Valley.
Find my master.
His pulse is slow and faint.
He is extremely cold.
The chronic cold virus has gathered in his brain...
chest and elixir field.
Old man.
Is there any way... "Xue Gu"
to expel my boy's chronic cold virus?
The chronic cold virus...
has long gathered in his body. "Bai Di"
It's a congenital virus.
The fact that...
this child was able to endure...
such inborn chronic cold virus...
and even survived through birth...
is already a miracle.
Masters,
how is our Young Master?
Congenital Jue Yin disease is the hardest to cure.
Even if we combined our energy,
to expel the virus and prolong his life,
he might not live until his 20th birthday.
Master Xue Gu.
You are his master.
I beg you. You have to...
save his life at all cost.
Get up. Hurry and get up.
It's no use begging me.
If we're talking martial arts,
I'd definitely help.
But this is about curing and saving a life.
You have to ask Bai Di.
Am I right, old man?
Old man,
I don't care.
I don't care what you do,
but you have to save my disciple.
Aren't you making things difficult for me?
I am, so what?
As we speak, Xiao Shi Shui is badly injured.
He entrusted his son to us.
I have the responsibility to protect him!
Nonetheless, my disciple...
is half your disciple.
You can't shirk your responsibility.
Come on.
Hurry up, just write a prescription already!
All right.
I will give it a try.
You're finally up.
Here, eat something.
Where is this?
Don't be afraid.
This is Sand Valley. It's very safe here.
Put down your sword first. "Qing Lan, Disciple of Bai Di"
Tell me.
What's your name?
Old man.
Exactly how confident, are you?
Not confident at all.
Not at all?
I'm penetrating pure Yang energy...
into his Feng Chi.
Feng Chi is the intersection of...
Shao Yang Meridian and Yang Link Vessel.
Repressing Yin with Yang,
repressing cold with heat.
The cold and heat will counteract each other in his body,
and I'm using herbal bath to protect his core.
As to whether he can make it,
that depends on his fate.
Young Master.
Master, Yi Qing can't take it anymore!
Young Master!
Stop! It's dangerous ahead!
Stand right there!
I'm the eldest disciple of Bai Di,
not a bad person.
Don't misunderstand.
We just want to help you.
I don't need your help!
I may not know what happened.
But I know your father.
My master and your father were good friends despite their age gap.
So you don't have to be afraid.
Stand still!
I don't believe a word you said.
Besides my father and mother,
there's no one else I trust in this world!
Father, mother.
I am coming to meet you.
From now on,
we will never be apart.
Look at you, seriously.
Why did you overexert yourself?
I thought that...
you'd just give him some of your essential energy.
Little did I know,
you gave him half of your power.
I'm his master after all.
I have no idea...
how long we can sustain his life.
Old man.
If another episode occurs in the future,
I will ask Nan Chu to look for you over here.
At this moment,
we can only do our best and leave the rest to God's will.
Masters, thank you for saving Young Master.
If you ever need anything in the future,
Snow Tower will be in your debt.
Why would the daughter of Blood Demon...
come here with you?
I wanted to take her back to Snow Tower,
but she refuses.
When Young Master fell ill,
I had to take her along to Sand Valley.
Xue Wei was known as...
Blood Demon in the pugilistic realm,
but he was a generous and righteous man.
A great swordsman has fallen.
That's a misfortune for the world of martial artists.
Poor girl.
She's now an orphan,
with no one to rely on in hardships.
Old man.
You've been cultivating yourself for your entire life.
No matter how skilful you are,
you still have no wife and children.
Why don't you...
take her as your disciple?
Then you'll have a daughter to be filial to you.
I'm contented with Qing Lan and Qing Yu.
An old man like you...
should mind your own business.
Why... Why are you...
Are you all right?
I'm fine.
Drink some water.
All right.
Wake up! Wake up!
I don't believe a word you said.
Besides my father and mother, there's no one else...
-I trust in this world! -Wake up!
The wind howls,
mourning the long lost past.
Still holding onto...
that brief moment.
By your side,
there used to be an uninvited boy.
His brief moment of warmth,
lasting throughout your life.
Love and hate,
keeps coming and going.
Kindness seeps into the bones,
making us go insane.
Wake up, wake up!
Come on, wake up! Wake up!
Wake up!
Let my heart fill with love.
As I drink today,
Jing.
I will drink away all our memories.
Jing.
Negotiating...
Didn't I tell you...
with destiny.
to live on well?
So what, if it's love?
So what, if it's hate?
Bringing me more sorrow,
bringing new wound to our old love.
There, slow down.
Slow down. Slow down.
Why did you save me?
We don't know each other.
Why do you care?
Our body, hair and skin, are given by our parents.
They gave birth to us,
so we should live on well.
Jing.
Don't take revenge.
Live well.
Tears have been shed.
Father.
You must treasure your life.
Just let me...
feel this ruthless love.
Qing Lan.
Master.
Put down the sword.
This is my master, Master Bai Di.
Do you know when your father...
invented the Blood Rose Swordplay?
When your father was young, he used to travel the world.
He passed by Sand Valley...
and we got along very well.
He forged this unrivaled sword...
yet no swordplay ever rivaled to this sword.
Until after 3 days of drinking and sword fighting with me,
he finally invented this unrivaled swordplay.
Little girl,
if you don't wish to go to Snow Tower,
why don't you stay in Sand Valley with me?
She is still wary.
Give her some time.
Take good care of her in the meantime.
Don't let anything happen.
Yes, Master.
Yi Qing!
Where are you going?
Master.
"Qing Yu, Disciple of Bai Di"
Wait.
Master has set Qimen Dunjia trap...
at the entrance of Sand Valley.
You won't be able to get out if no one guides you.
It rained last night.
The river current is rapid.
How about this?
Let me take you there.
Watch out!
You...
Why didn't you accept my master's offer to stay in the valley?
You have somewhere else to go?
If I stay here, will he teach me martial arts...
like how he taught you?
You want to learn martial arts?
At the very least, I won't...
be helpless when I encounter bad people.
Don't worry.
After you join Bai Di,
no one will dare bully you anymore.
Even if Master doesn't teach you,
I'll always be by your side.
What's your name?
My name is Jing.
My name is Qing Lan.
Qing Lan,
you're so unfair.
Since she came,
you bring so many fireflies here.
During my last birthday,
you wouldn't do it even though I only asked for a few.
This time,
I finally see your true colors.
Trust me.
I will be by your side forever.
Why is there...
an irregular change with the Dark Star?
Master.
Could it be...
you?
Master,
what are you talking about?
If you do not wish to stay in Sand Valley,
tomorrow morning,
Qing Lan will escort you out of this mountain.
But this is a dangerous world.
After stepping out of Sand Valley,
the only person you can trust in this world...
is yourself alone.
I want to stay here.
Why the sudden change of mind?
He's right.
My parents gave me a chance to live,
I should live my life well.
I wish to learn martial arts from you.
So that,
if the bad men strike again,
I can protect the people around me.
The dark star shines upon her destiny.
Those with destiny involving the Dark Star...
will eventually fall.
If she stays, I can only teach her qinggong for self-defense.
She must never be a part of the massacre in this world,
and live a peaceful life.
Great.
From now on,
your name is no longer Shu Jing Rong.
I shall rename you,
as Qing Ming.
Do you accept?
Yes.
I will safeguard this Blood Rose Sword for you.
I hope you live a life with no sorrow and danger,
and there will be no need for Blood Rose Sword to resurface.
