"Snow Tower, Episode 11"
No one escapes death.
The difference is what they die for.
I understand.
My Master and Eldest Brother...died because of me.
If I could choose, I'd rather sacrifice myself.
If you continue being in despair,
the sacrifice Mister Bai and Qing Lan made will go in vain.
I just want to know...
if they've returned to Sand Valley.
That's why you're here 7 days summoning their spirits .
Today...
will be the last day I summon their spirits.
It's wine.
Where's Ming Er?
Aren't you summoning...Mister Bai's spirit today?
We've been meeting everyday for the 7-day evocation.
That makes us more sorrowful.
Today we've agreed...to be apart for one day.
Maybe...we'll feel at ease.
Don't drink too much.
My father said...Mister Bai and him were friends who would die for each other.
So, in the future,
whatever you have planned, don't worry about it.
My father will help you with all his might.
Actually, my master always seemed so solemn.
But whenever I made a mistake,
my master never punished me.
He tolerated us instead.
Back then, I wanted to wander this pugilistic world.
Little did I know,
master settled in the valley...because he wandered his entire life.
Now, I can't seek for his guidance anymore.
I see.
Last time, my father and I wanted to accuse you.
But Mister Bai discredited my words...
when it came to you.
It seems like...he was putting up with your horseplay.
You're right.
Only today did I realise...
how much my master loved me.
And my Eldest Brother. I had always felt unfair.
Why was he the eldest and me the younger?
He joined the institution only days before me.
But, if it weren't for him,
Ming Er and I wouldn't be alive.
It turned out that my Eldest Brother had been tolerating me, and protecting me..f.
because he's my elder brother.
Qing Yu.
In the future, what do you and Qing Ming plan to do?
These are...
Blooming equinox flowers bloom on the other side.
It's also known as the underworld flower.
A flower trail which grows along the Three-way River.
Rumor has it...that its scent conjures memories of the dead.
This way, your master and Qing Lan will no longer be lonely.
Then...
will they return to Sand Valley?
The purpose of equinox flower...is to lead the souls to the shore.
I heard you were doing a 7-day evocation here,
so I had these flowers prepared.
In this case, the dead will find their way home.
Thank you for your hard work, Tower Master.
Do you really believe in evocation?
I don't.
Me neither.
In that case,
why are you doing this?
Believe it or not, it doesn't matter.
I only know that...if I can comfort the living by doing so,
it's worth believing.
Maybe the rumors about equinox flower are all fake,
but, if they can take you out of this valley,
it's worth a try.
The dead returns to dust.
Evocation...is just a way to comfort the living,
making them feel at ease.
They must be in great pain.
Overwhelming with hate.
The peace in Sand Valley...will cease to exist from now.
Master.
Eldest Brother.
Have you come back to Sand Valley?
Your master and Qing Lan will come back.
Peace shall remain in Sand Valley forever.
Who knew...that after 10 years,
the person keeping vigil with me...is still you,
is still you, Xiao Yi Qing.
After crossing River of Unmindfulness,
that past will be put to an end.
I hate equinox flowers the most.
It seems so lifeless.
So full of death.
But reincarnation is the closest to death.
My father said that...equinox flower also means reborn.
I think...this is the reason...
why Yi Qing got so many equinox flowers.
Not only does he hope the dead can rest in peace,
but also that the survivors can be reborn.
Do you think you can hide your injuries by doing this?
If you can't even protect yourself, how can you master Blood Rose Swordplay?
how can you master Blood Rose Swordplay?
How can you avenge them?
In a billowing bustling place,
the warmth of a friend.
How can I worry you with rumors?
Mountain water is lapping,
like layers of affection.
I'm willing to spend my life with you.
Memories like no other,
ruining your valiant blood.
I quietly make a wish in this bustling place.
Between life and death,
I'm willing to be entwined with you.
The broken heart will eventually scatter with the wind.
You're awake.
If you want to master Blood Rose Swordplay,
you have to recuperate first.
In this world, besides you and your father,
no one has ever studied Blood Rose Swordplay.
The forte of Mister Bai's martial skills...
is speed and light.
You are fast enough, but not strong enough.
Blood Rose Sword may offset your weakness,
but it was your father...who invented the swordplay.
You will have to find it from within to master it.
No one can help you when it comes to learning martial arts.
You have to study it alone.
But if you can't even protect yourself,
even if you own Blood Rose Sword,
it's no different from a piece of scrap.
Think about it.
Mister Zhong. Isn't it time to reform Chuihua House?
Master. Chuihua House has never stopped training assassins.
However, there's been a lot of disputes recently.
Snow Tower has lost many lives.
Now, no one else is willing to join Snow Tower.
I'm afraid...it'll be tough to find suitable men to fill the vacancy.
I will spare no effort...to go through fire and water.
I won't let you down.
We won't let you down!
Now, Snow Tower is bogged down in crisis.
Other major sects and schools are eager to strike,
if we're not careful, we might be beyond rescue.
Time waits for no man.
No matter what, Snow Tower has to regain its strength soon.
Mister Zhong. Go on with the rest.
I believe that...Snow Tower will regain its status.
By then, warriors all over will want to join us.
We'll definitely reform Chuihua House, and regain our strength.
Mister Zhong. I'm sure you're aware of the rules of Snow Tower.
I am.
Snow Tower doesn't provide for incompetent men.
"Yi Xue Hall"
Lady Xie...
Now, I should call you Lady Jiang instead.
Bing Yu is dead.
From now on, Lady Xie no longer exists.
My mother's surname is Jiang.
I've renamed myself as Jiang Qian Mei.
My lord, it seems you have not gotten used to it.
Forgive me, Lady Jiang.
There are myriad affairs in the tower lately,
I have forgotten.
Please forgive me.
That's very polite of you.
Speaking of which, after the battle in Sand Valley,
Madam Zi and I sent some men to investigate,
they've found some clues.
Although Phoenix Tail Flower...can suppress the Jue Yin in your body,
it can't fully heal you.
The cold virus is still there.
But it's under control.
If it's not necessary,
you shouldn't go out too often, Tower Master.
Thank you, Doctor Mo.
The wound on your chest is almost recovered.
After another dressing, it will recover in a few days.
Also...Thank you, Doctor Mo.
You and your father are exactly the same.
You are stubborn.
It's no use saying.
Just take it as I'm a busybody who worries over nothing.
Doctor Mo. Why are you so angry?
These few days, I've been listening to your advice.
I rarely go out.
Go out?
You did go out less.
But a few days ago, you flew into a rage at the Ancestral Hall.
Everyone knows it.
You must not lose your temper too.
I shall take note, Doctor Mo.
Tower Master.
Don't disturb his rest.
Sit down.
I'm fine, Nan Chu.
Sit properly. Let me show you something.
This is the debris from niter gunpowder.
Look at its color and texture.
It's completely different from ordinary gunpowder niter debris.
It is high-quality.
Moon Sect used this kind of gunpowder.
It has even greater force.
I've asked around.
Gunpowder made of this material is not sold in the market yet.
I'm certain it was obtained through special methods.
You must find the gunpowder supplier.
- Not only Luoyang, but you have to search all the way from Nanjiang. -Yes.
Yes.
Also, the Pilgrimage Day of Moon Sect is approaching.
Have someone keep an eye on them.
Yes.
But with the current force in Snow Tower can we make it?
Don't worry.
Although my mother is still trapped and suffering in Moon Sect,
I will not act rashly without having a game in hand.
The most important thing now is to restore Snow Tower.
We got this.
Madam Xue Wen.
In the entire Moon Sect, besides my mother,
you're the only who knows Xuan Yin Heart Sutra.
It's useless even if you keep it.
Why don't you just tell me?
This is the ultimate energy mantra of Moon Sect.
Back then, your mother... only read 30% of it.
I heard that Xuan Yin Heart Sutra can expel poison and heal wounds,
regenerate blood and skin.
Is that true?
Madam Xue Wen, where exactly is Xuan Yin Heart Sutra?
Why are you smiling?
When the moon flowers bloom,
the lotus will rot in the lake.
What does that mean?
The lotus will rot in the lake.
Are you talking about my mother?
Three years.
She only has 3 years left.
I got this from star reading with Moon Spirit while I was carrying Yi Qing.
Back then, she even murdered people just to break up Shi Shui and me.
That is why I didn't tell her.
All these years, your mother has done so many sinful things.
Little does she know, she is walking on her last legs.
Who is it?
Bing Ling.
All hail, Mistress.
It is the Pilgrimage Day today, Moon Sect has an announcement to make.
"In 3 years, when the moon flowers bloom, the lotus will rot in the lake."
According to the star reading of lunar eclipse today, a propitious omen is approaching.
The moon and stars shine, while winds blow south.
Nanjiang is located in the south, we will be blessed in the coming year!
Today, on the Pilgrimage Day of the Moon Sect,
we have an important matter to announce.
Our Left Guardian, Gu Guang, has already...
Mistress.
You're still alive.
Thanks to the God of Moon, I came back with the light of moon.
I, Gu Guang wish Mistress great happiness and blessings.
This kind of gunpowder is made with a special method.
According to Nan Chu's outcome, presumably, it's made in Jiangnan.
But Snow Tower reached a dead end after learning that.
We have no clue about the maker and the dealer.
They are very mysterious and illegally involved.
Without the gunpowder, Moon Sect wouldn't attack us.
They support the devil, and conspire with Moon Sect.
I will kill them.
To avenge for those who are implicated.
Tower Master.
Ten years ago,
you went to the my parents' grave, and asked me to join Snow Tower.
Do you remember?
It doesn't matter if you don't wish to go back.
I'll stay with you until you decide.
I do.
Is it too late...
if I answer you now?
Snow Tower spares no effort in investigating the incident in Sand Valley.
I cannot thank you enough.
I know the rules in Snow Tower.
I don't take advantage of others too.
I, Qing Yu, am willing to join Snow Tower, and be at your service.
You can join us,
but not her.
Why?
Ming Er and I are from the same institution.
Besides, it was you who asked her to join Snow Tower.
It is different then and now.
There is growing unrest throughout Snow Tower.
Only the strong ones can join us.
You can lodge in the tower if you want.
But if you want to join Snow Tower, I'm afraid I won't agree to that.
We have understood you.
Since Snow Tower won't keep the incompetent, we will not insist on staying.
Ming Er, let's leave.
Leave!
Yi Qing, even Lady Jiang is allowed in Snow Tower,
why did you turn down Lady Jing?
Now, she just needs something to rely on.
Just like how Sand Valley took her in back then.
But, if we do so, she will rely on Snow Tower for the rest of her life.
I don't want her like that.
I want her to be strong.
Because one day,
she will be fighting alongside me.
"Serenity"
Ming Er. Don't worry about it.
I don't believe that...we can't avenge Master on our own.
Besides, it's better this way. We are free.
We don't have to depend on anyone.
He knows me well.
He knows I'm struggling, and so burned my bridges.
Qing Yu.
I was looking for you.
You came just in time.
Give it to me.
What are you doing?
I told you. I just wanted you to safeguard Sea Flower temporarily.
I will take it back when I leave.
Leave?
Where are you going?
It's a big world out there.
We will find a place we belong.
Back then, I had always wanted to leave the valley.
But now, I really have to wander the pugilistic world on my own.
Ming Er, let's go.
When Sand Valley exploded,
how did you escape?
How did you hide from the informants of Snow Tower...
and come back here?
Mistress, when Sand Valley was at the brink of destruction,
Qing Lan discovered me when I was...
escorting Ming He to safety.
I can only remember, Qing Lan and I were injured by the gunpowder,
and fell into the valley.
I couldn't walk for days.
The injury delayed my plan for some time.
After that, I went under water to hide from...
the informants of Snow Tower, and took another route back to Nanjiang.
I almost missed the pilgrimage.
I should be punished, Mistress.
So long as you're fine.
Thank you for saving me, Mistress.
Gu Guang! You're back.
It's great that you're fine.
I was lucky.
The Left Guardian has not recovered from his internal injuries.
He needs to recuperation.
Thank you, Mistress.
I shall excuse myself now.
Bing Ling.
Mistress, Bing Ling is at your service.
For the star reading today,
what did you write?
What is the meaning...of what you wrote?
As the Star Reader of Moon Sect,
you failed to give prophecy all these years,
but you managed to do it today.
You do not have the Moon Spirit,
how did you read this prophecy today?
I replaced Moon Spirit with a fallen star,
but...
But the result does not meet our expectation.
In 3 years, when the moon flowers bloom,
the lotus in the lake will rot.
A calamity is upon us.
Over the ages, the position of leader and high priest were held by 2 people,
both with their own duties.
But when it comes to your mother, she reigns over the Sect alone,
she has unparalleled power in her hand.
Now that you've told her Xue Wen's prophecy,
God knows what kind of disaster...will befall Moon Sect.
When the moon flowers bloom,
the lotus in the lake will rot.
Why has no flower...ever bloomed around the lake?
Hong Lian Prison...is just below the Holy Lake.
All these years, countless rebels have died here.
Their bodies sank to the bottom of the lake.
Hence, this land is damp throughout the years.
Shrouded with cold energy.
That is why...not many flowers can grow here.
Why did you ask this all of a sudden?
Before Madam Xue Wen rebelled, she was also a Star Reader like you.
None of her prophecy were inaccurate.
If this 3-year-calamity is true,
the heir to the Moon Sect...will be me, Ming He.
Then, Moon Sect...will no longer live in constant fear.
Bing Ling, I think you should know what to do.
I went to Hong Lian Prison today. Xue Wen was alone.
Everything seems normal.
So this is...the real pugilistic world.
To live by the word.
At the brink of life...day in, day out.
Master used to say that...star reading is a mystery.
How can our fates...
be decided by the stars?
If everyone around me...
will be hurt...or faced with death...
because of me,
Qing Yu,
I won't burden to you anymore.
"Three years later"
Yi Qing!
The 4 great sects in the pugilistic world...have now cautiously come to call for truce.
Never had we thought that, in just 3 years time,
the Snow Tower...managed to persuade the 5 major clans.
Many of our enemy underlings...have surrendered to us.
These 3 years, although Snow Tower has regained its power,
and they have willingly submitted to serving us.
Yet it is still a far cry from my objective.
That's because you've set the bar too high.
Who dares take Snow Tower lightly in the pugilistic world now?
This is still not enough.
Tower Master.
We have received 2 items.
It's the same gunpowder debris again.
These gunpowder debris share the same texture with the debris left in Sand Valley
during the battle 3 years ago.
"Thunderbolt Hall of Lei Family"
The time has come.
Zi Mo, make arrangements.
I'll be going to Jiangnan.
Tower Master.
Yes.
I will get everything ready now.
It's been 3 years.
She has finally come through.
