[Listening Snow Tower] [Episode 40]
Xiaotai!
From now on, I have to be vigilant.
The carefree Chi Xiaotai they once saw in their eyes...
is long gone... by the torture this world has shown me.
Let me see.
"My flesh and blood, my beloved daughter."
It's your father's message to you.
"Separation is inevitable,
but I just can't let you go."
I never knew that... all these years,
my father had been thinking about me.
Father,
if you were still alive, I'd keep you company.
sharing the joy of a family.
It's never too late.
I believe your father... can feel your love from up above.
Shi Mingyan!
What do you want?
It's not that I didn't want to save you, but that time...
Under those circumstances, that was the right thing to do.
Don't worry.
I don't blame you.
We managed to defeat Qiu Huyu... because of you after all.
I understand that.
Really?
If someone were to be blamed, blame it on Ming He.
Just because of me, the Snow Tower had to let Qiu Huyu off.
I will never forgive myself for that.
Don't worry.
When I get a chance, I will take revenge for you.
I shouldn't disturb you anymore.
Excuse me.
She seems quite unconcerned.
She's no less ruthless than those in the pugilistic world.
A diamond in the rough indeed.
Lady Xue, when I was checking the accounts yesterday,
I realized that... many rare herbs have been used lately.
And you've been doing research,
may I know what kind of remedy are you studying?
It's an order from Tower Master Xiao.
He asked me if... a person who... suffered serious injury and memory loss...
could regain his memory.
Tower Master Xiao hardly asks me anything.
So when he returns, I'll definitely give him a satisfying answer.
- Could it be... - He is Bai Di's eldest disciple, Qing Lan.
Why is he in cahoots with the enemy?
Gu Guang said that...during the fight at the Sand Valley,
Qing Lan was injured and fell into a coma.
Since that day, he has forgotten about the past.
Lord Nan Chu, just forget about... what I said.
Tower duties await, I shall excuse myself.
About the things I just said...
Don't worry, Lady Xue. I will keep it a secret.
Where is this place?
Jia Ruo!
- Jia Ruo! - Our Master is dead!
Jia Ruo, did you forget your medicine?
What day is today?
Have you had your medicine?
- Jia Ruo. - My name is Ye Huo. I come from Nanjiang.
A pleasure to meet you.
Is that you?
Ye Huo?
It's time to take your medicine.
Let me take you to your room.
Let's go. Come on.
Jia Ruo!
What's going on?
I overlooked your medication time.
No. But today... Why?
- But it's not the time yet. - Why?
Why would you...
Why?
- Jia Rou! - Why don't I remember it?
Jia Ruo!
Ye Huo! Ye Huo! Who is Ye Huo?
- Do you know Ye Huo? - I don't.
Ye Huo. Tell me who's Ye Huo!
Ming He, Ye Huo likes to play the flute, am I right?
She likes to play the flute, am I right?
Ye Huo... Ye Huo is just a girl... you saved by chance.
She died a long time ago!
I saved you!
Do you remember?
Ye Huo is dead!
It was me who saved you!
Do you remember?
Ye Huo is dead already!
No!
- Jia Ruo! - She grew up with me.
- She grew up with me! - No!
- She grew up with me! -I t's not like that.
- She grew up with me! - No!
What is your name?
My name is Qing Lan.
No! You don't know this person.
Let's go. Stop thinking about it.
Stop thinking about it, Jia Ruo.
Let's go back to your room.
Why didn't I save her? Why didn't I save her?
Why? Why didn't I save her?
Why?
Why would he recall Ye Huo,
but mixed up the memories of Ye Huo and Shu Jingrong?
It seems like... his sealed memories... are gradually recovering,
but they are just in a muddle.
Jia Ruo.
Here! Drink this medicine.
Do you feel better?
The memories in the past... are all painful memories.
Why would you want to recall them?
I'm here with you now,
isn't it better?
Here. Lie down.
Jia Ruo.
Ye Huo...
Jia Ruo, am I the one you're recalling?
I'm sorry.
I can't let you go.
I've sealed your memories...
because I hope that... you will stay by my side forever
and forget about the painful past.
You're not anyone else... just Jia Ruo.
Ye Huo is already dead.
I am the one you met from the very beginning.
All hail, Mistress.
Something was wrong with Jia Ruo.
Luckily, you notified me.
I was only doing my job.
Mistress, how is the High Priest now?
The High Priest is fine.
Also, regarding his past,
you have to keep it to yourself.
Definitely. My lips are sealed.
I shall excuse myself now.
Left Guardian.
Is there anything else, Mistress?
I know... you are worried about Bin Ling.
If you have time, go and see her.
So long as you're loyal to the Moon Sect,
I have no reason to treat you both badly.
Thank you for your grace, Mistress.
Besides this, send someone to keep a close eye on Qiu Huyu.
He is cunning. Make sure he completes his mission.
Yes, Mistress.
In the last message, they didn't mention any changes.
Why would they come back... in two troops all of a sudden?
Moreover, even though this trip takes some time,
but a few days have passed, they should have reached by now.
Why haven't we heard from them?
It was the Tower Master's sudden decision. And he was insistent.
He didn't tell anyone about the route.
After he'd given the order, he left town with Lady Jing, Gao Huan and Lady Ye... that very night.
Could it be...
Had no one... asked him his plan?
Who'd have the audacity to stop him... and question him?
Since Lady Jing is with him,
I think it will be fine.
No. I better send someone to find out.
Well, you better think before you act.
If Tower Master really has a secret plan,
you might mess it up... if you try to find out.
Lady Jing is with him.
Gao Huan and Ye Fengsha are there, too.
Oh, Yiqing.
What is he trying to do?
This is the Moon Sect's territory,
yet you came here by yourself.
I couldn't help but worry.
With you watching over me in the dark,
what's there to fear?
This is...
This is the River of Remembrance.
This river is said to be the border of the mortal world.
And the water... flows towards the foot of Lingjiu Mountain.
My father once told me...
If I ever come here, I should place a water lantern in this river.
The lantern will flow along the river.
If fate is on their side,
my father and mother might meet each other.
Didn't you say that... you don't believe in souls?
Maybe the rumors about equinox flower are all fake.
The dead return to dust.
Evocation... is just a way to comfort the living,
making them feel at ease.
As long as his last wish is fulfilled,
it doesn't matter if I believe it or not.
I know you're eager to save your mother.
But I still think... that this is too dangerous.
I know you're worried about me,
but I must do it.
Jing, no matter what happens this time,
you must believe me.
Ever since we came to the Moon Sect's territory,
you've been uneasy.
Are you hiding something from me?
After preparing for so many years,
we've finally come here.
The closer I am to the target,
the more anxious and worried I get.
Brother, over there!
Let's go.
Since you're here,
why hide yourself?
Since you've brought yourself here,
you've saved me the trouble.
Gao Huan! Show yourself!
Brother, there should be two of them.
I know.
I'm sure you know her.
She must be Ye Fengsha.
Show yourself!
Who exactly is the girl...
whom I recalled yesterday?
Why can't I recall her name?
Jia Ruo.
You took the medicine last night and woke up so early today,
is there any emergency in the sect?
After I've mastered the Xuan Yin Heart Sutra,
I keep... having flashbacks of the past.
I don't know why I'd recall them all of a sudden.
So I came here to see if...
I've ever seen her in these paintings.
Jia Ruo, do you still remember her name?
I recalled it last night,
but I don't remember it today.
These paintings... are the portraits of our people.
You are now... the High Priest of the Moon Sect.
You've met everyone in the sect...
Everything that happened last night was just a dream.
Don't waste more of your time.
Maybe I was wrong.
By the way, I've mastered the Xuan Yin Heart Sutra,
why do I still have to... take the medicine every end of the month?
The Xuan Yin Heart Sutra is highly toxic.
Those medicines can reduce the toxicity.
Besides, you've been sleeping lightly and dreaming a lot.
So I asked the witch doctor to add some herbs... to calm your nerves.
Thank you.
Today is the Ghost Festival. The followers at the foothill... will gather for the Ghost Festival.
We have a lot of work to do.
What's the matter?
Nothing.
Lately,
I'm so exhausted.
Just let me lean on your shoulder
just for a while.
Ming He, don't worry.
No matter what happens,
I'll stay by your side forever,
watching over you and protecting you.
I'd like that.
This little cabin... was built many years ago.
It's a place for us to lodge... when the Snow Tower attacks the Moon Sect.
So you had prepared this a long time ago.
But I have to put you and Lady Ye to trouble.
After the Flower Palace was wiped out,
the Moon Sect has been trying to kill you.
I've deliberately spread some news... so that they'd track you...
and divert their attention.
I'm not worthy of your kindness.
This is my responsibility.
Tower Master, Lady Ye and I have decided... to track down Ren Feiyang
and take him away from the Storm League.
I've racked my brains to make this arrangement.
I've secretly ordered the disciples from the Nanjiang division to help out.
So, you have to be vigilant.
Make no mistakes.
Back then, the scout that we placed in the sect...
was sent back to us as bones... to frighten us.
Since then, they have prohibited all outsiders.
Our men have come a long way... to infiltrate into Nanjiang.
Tonight is the Ghost Festival.
Ming He will go to the foothill herself.
I will send someone to create havoc.
Then, Jing will lead you and Lady Ye...
to seize the chance and invade the Storm League.
This is not what we said before we departed.
Are you going to the Moon Palace by yourself?
Gao Huan and Lady Ye... are no match for the Storm League. So I need you to go there.
You never wanted to take me with you, did you?
Must you argue with me here?
Tower Master, we just came here.
We need some time to sort things out. We shall excuse ourselves for now.
Jing.
Jing!
I did promise to go to Lingjiu Mountain with you,
to prepare for our upcoming invasion.
And I understand... how much you wish to see your mother.
But why won't you take me with you?
How can I let you... go to the Moon Palace and risk your own life?
Gao Huan and Ye Fengsha... are no match for the Storm League.
Even if I sent our men to help, they won't be able to deal with it.
If you don't help them,
how can I go to the Moon Palace... with a peace of mind?
But I'm worried about you.
Don't worry.
Gu Guang has taken care of everything in the Moon Sect.
Everything will be fine.
I promise you. I will come back safely, all right?
If you don't come back at first light,
I will go to the Moon Palace myself.
If you do this, all the deployment will be in disarray.
The previous arrangements will all go in vain.
I can't care about that anymore.
All right. I will come back before first light.
Why are you here?
Xiao Yiqing placed a water lantern in the River of Remembrance...
as requested by Xiao Shishui before he died.
Xiao Shishui said
that the river will flow through Lingjiu Mountain.
If his soul hasn't perished,
he will definitely come to see you.
The River of Remembrance...
flows through Lingjiu Mountain.
I did say that!
But how did you know?
You don't have to know. Just keep this in mind.
If I have my way,
I will take you both out of here.
You've suffered a lot.
Xiao Yiqing promised me.
The Snow Tower will keep you safe with all its might.
No. You're betraying the Moon Sect.
If I run away, Mistress will know it's your doing.
She and the High Priest will never let you off!
I've come this far,
it's too late for me... to go back now.
But... But I can't let you...
risk your life for me.
Junior Sister, trust me.
I will find a way to escape... and reunite with you.
Shishui...
If Jia Ruo is nearby, he'd come here right after he heard the flute.
Are you perhaps worried about the High Priest?
I'm not sure why.
But recently, his whereabouts have been oddly mysterious.
Send someone to watch him closely.
Be it a trivial action or not, report his every move to me.
Yes, Mistress.
But watching him is all we can do.
With his martial skills, even if something happens,
none of the Moon Sect followers will be able to stop him.
I'm well aware.
Just keep a close eye on him.
Tell me if anything happens.
Yes. If something happens, I will report to you in an instance.
Who exactly is she?
Why can't I remember her face?
Ming He's fluting sounds very anxious.
Jia Ruo.
Mistress. High Priest. There are some affairs in the Moon Sect... that I have to take care of.
Please excuse me.
Your flute sounded so anxious.
I thought something had happened to the sect.
Every time you're not around, I'll feel anxious.
Besides, these few days, you've been secretive with your whereabouts.
I didn't know where you've been.
I thought something had happened to you, so I used the flute to summon you.
I'm just here to relax.
It's my fault. I made you worry.
Next time, before I go out, I will inform you first.
Sure.
There's a prayer ceremony tonight.
Let's get back early.
Where are you?
Elder brother!
Who is she?
Why is she locked up here?
She's a nobody. She's an enemy of the Moon Sect.
She wants to wipe out the Moon Sect.
Lady Xue!
Lady Xue, how's the medicine that Tower Master asked you to concoct?
If you've succeeded, I will send it to Tower Master immediately.
These days, I've studied numerous methods.
But ordinary herbs and methods... won't completely recall one's memory.
Some of them might work,
but the process will be horrifying.
Even if it works, that person might lose his life.
Lady Xue, are there no better methods in this world...
that can recall one's memory?
Who is the person that Tower Master wants to heal?
After you learned about it, it seemed to have bothered you.
Now you seem as if you are facing a formidable enemy.
Tonight is the Ghost Festival.
If he really means to harm Tower Master,
I'm afraid...
If he can harm Tower Master,
he must be skilled in martial arts.
Who exactly is he?
Lord Nan Chu, don't worry about it.
Tower Master has recuperated.
His inner energy must have improved.
I hardly believe anyone in this world can...
stand against the wrath of the Shadow Sun Dagger.
In the big house,
in the house of flames,
as our god sorts everything out in the darkness,
please enlighten me with my real name.
As the moon rises on the other side,
the gods will say their names.
I wish...
I wish that now... I can, too, recall my real name.
In the big house,
in the house of flames,
as our god sorts everything out in the darkness,
please enlighten me with my real name.
In the big house,
in the house of flames,
as our god sorts everything out in the darkness,
please enlighten me with my real name.
Mistress. High Priest. Someone has placed a water lantern...
in the River of Remembrance before us.
According to our customs, it means disrespect.
Greetings, Left Guardian.
Many followers are at the foothill tonight.
There might be chaos.
You have to guard the sect closely.
Do not let any outsiders in. Are you clear?
Understood.
Stand still! Who are you?
Back off. He's one of ours.
Why is the delivery of herbs this time... delayed for so many days?
If Mistress is unable to take her medicine on time,
even I can't guarantee your safety.
Follow me now!
