[Mirror : A Tale of Twin Cities]

[Episode 30]

Aren't you imprisoning me? Why did you remove the Lapis Lazuli rope?

It's what Lord Zhi Zhe wanted.

Who exactly is this Lord Zhi Zhe that you speak of?

What does he want with me?

Enter and you will know.

Yu Huan brought me back with such huge fanfare.

The news must have spread all over Yunhuang already.

I wonder if His Highness made it back safely.

Plus there's Su Mo, I must think of a way to get out.

This Water Mirror connects to Wuse City. It's been opened.

But isn't the High Priest the only one who can open it?

Who exactly is it that lives here?

Yu Zhu.

Master Peng.

Zhi Zhe brought Kongsang's Princess Bai to the top of the pagoda.

What does he want?

I don't know.

Previously, it was the Crown Prince of Kongsang. It should be Princess Bai of Kongsang who should be imprisoned

but was instead sent to Mirror Pagoda instead. Could it be...

I dare not speculate what's on Lord Zhi Zhe's mind.

You and your younger brother

now are beginning to...

hide more things from me.

I don't have this intention. I really don't know anything.

Lord Zhi Zhe only instructed me to bring her here to Heavenly Temple.

As for the rest... I have no idea.

A disobedient wolf cub...

should be eliminated.

Lord Zhi Zhe actually wanted Yu Zhu to take

Princess Bai of Kongsang to the pagoda.

Speaking of this, Lord Zhi Zhe has been behaving strangely lately.

It has been a long time since he gave us instructions.

I wonder if he relays all instructions

to Yu Huan directly through Yu Zhu.

A'Wei,

it has been 7,000 years.

You...

Can you still recognize me?

Are you Zhi Zhe?

For a moment, I thought you were her.

You imprisoned me here. What are you trying to do?

I saw you flying down the pagoda

and also, jump up onto the city building and shout "Heaven bless Kongsang."

I want to see...

see if you are just like her.

Becoming more and more presumptuous.

You are not afraid of the sun.

Logically speaking, the six princes of Wuse City should be afraid of the sun

and live forever in endless darkness.

Since you know I'm afraid of the sun, you even made me come here in broad daylight.

If you want me to die, it doesn't have to be this troublesome, just kill me now.

How could I bear to let you die?

The Emperor of the Sea gave you the Sun Protection Pearl.

How did you know?

It was him again.

But he's also the only one

who can use the Splitting Technique

to strip off part of his spiritual knowledge

and inject it into this pearl.

In this way, it can absorb the sunlight around the body of the wearer.

From the day you wore this pearl, the burns from the sun

have transformed the spiritual knowledge into this pearl.

Su Mo, where did you obtain this Sun Protection Pearl from?

I traded this for something.

What was it?

Is it valuable? If so, it's better to return it.

Nothing is more important than for you to see the sun again.

This Sun Protection Pearl was actually obtained by Su Mo like this.

Master Si, please save Young Master.

Leave now. I'll treat the Emperor of the Sea's injuries.

Bai Ying.

Bai Ying.

You are that Zhi Zhe.

Why do you look for Bai Ying?

Why do you look like Zhen Lan?

He used half of his life for you

to be able to walk in the sun.

Bai Ying, I can protect you.

Will you come with me?

What are you thinking?

Why are you so sad?

The Emperor of the Sea knows only this trick.

It's just a game of creating this pearl which will bewitch a person's heart.

There's a spell in this pearl.

Tell him, and have him save you.

When he previously trespassed into Mirror Pagoda, I repaired it.

See if he dares to come back here again.

He won't come here to save me.

Really?

You are going against Kongsang.

Quanxian has nothing to do with Heaven and Earth.

Who says so?

From the beginning till the end, it has been related to the Emperor of the Sea.

Only by capturing you,

whether it's Emperor of the Sea or Crown Prince of Kongsang,

one of them will come here.

Bai Ying.

This is great. Young Master, you are awake.

Master Si, what's wrong with me?

A part of your spiritual knowledge resonated with another power.

It's very weird. I can't go near it either.

Emperor of the Sea, why are you so gravely injured?

[I'm willing]

At the time, I only remember being at Flower Deity Tree.

But, Young Master, how did you fall into Mirror Lake alone?

What happened at Jiuyi Mountain?

Did you obtain the Heaven-Defying Sword?

Yes, I did.

Is our next step to help Kongsang settle the Ghost and Deity Abyss Seal?

Let's suspend this. Since we have the Splitting Sword,

I want to settle the Dragon Deity Seal first.

By the way, how's the situation at Kongsang?

There's no news.

Is Yan Xi back?

I transmitted a message to Jiuyi Mountain to tell him to come back as soon as possible.

Did you find anything when you asked about this?

I was about to report this to you.

- Fine. Let's go to the assembly room. - Yes.

Emperor of the Sea, you haven't recovered from your injuries. You need to rest.

There's no time.

Was it a dream just now?

High Priest.

High Priest, wake up now. Open the Water Mirror now.

- What's wrong? - Hurry up.

Your Highness, why are you so anxious?

Bai Ying is missing. Bai Ying has been captured.

My old back.

What did you say? What's wrong with A'Ying?

Open the Water Mirror now.

Mirror Pagoda.

Why did A'Ying go there?

There's a barrier at Mirror Pagoda. The Water Mirror can't probe inside it.

How did someone enter it?

It's that person dressed in black. What is his purpose?

Why has he repeatedly called us to Mirror Pagoda?

Your Highness, Heaven is not at our disposal now.

Why not rescue her together with the Emperor of the Sea?

I will have Xi Jing go there with me.

I unlocked two seals and regained half of my power.

Even more so, Su Mo went back to the camp.

I'm also not sure if he will help us with the battle.

What's wrong?

We already know about the annihilation of the six princes.

Your Highness, please forgive me. I didn't intend to hide this from you.

Enough.

Regarding this, I will settle the score with you later.

The priority now is to rescue A'Ying.

Hence, we can only rely on ourselves for now.

Young Master, based on your instructions, we checked the details of Cangliu.

Seven thousand years ago, Cangliu was defeated in the battle in Yunhuang

and was expelled from Yunhuang by King Xingzun. About a century ago,

Cangliu apparently received a revelation

and suddenly created a magical weapon.

A group of wanderers was trained to be powerful warriors.

They frequently intruded into surrounding areas and eventually annexed them.

Did you find out who they got the revelation from?

Cangliu thought it was the strength and power of the five masters.

But the strange thing is that their five masters' appearances have not aged since that time.

Just like Qing Chen.

And Qing Chen's medicine was given by that Zhi Zhe.

Cangliu and Kongsang people only have a lifespan of 100 years.

How can they live for a long time without aging?

Could it be there are people in Yunhuang who lived longer than our Quanxian?

What about the Mirror and Splitting Techniques?

The place of origin is not Cangliu. There are no more records in Cangliu.

A second person hasn't appeared in a hundred years

who knows these Mirror and Splitting Techniques.

I found this in the Wuse City library.

I learned the Mirror Technique outside of Yunhuang.

Why would the library in Kongsang have a record of this?

The library in Kongsang was specifically for the Heavenly King's use.

It was gradually opened to the royal family later.

If this is the case, the person who gave me power in the valley

could it be that person in the Mirror Pagoda?

As the Emperor of the Sea,

he's indeed more powerful than that person seven thousand years ago.

However, his cultivation is too shallow.

That Sun Protection Pearl can only protect you momentarily.

I can make one stronger than his and make you never fear the sun.

- Young Master! - Young Master!

- Young Master. - What's going on?

I believe he can't use his power properly

and often suffers from backlash.

Just like me, he has attained perfection too.

It's him again.

Only then can you really use it for your own use and dominate the world.

That image just now was real.

Am I inside the Sun Protection Pearl?

Su Mo?

What did you say?

Only Bai Ying can hear my voice. Zhi Zhe can't.

Bai Ying,

if you can hear my voice,

don't react and don't answer.

He really resembles Zhen Lan. In the past, Zhen Lan suspected he was from Kongsang.

Seems like they are both related.

Ask him what he did to the Sun Protection Pearl and why he told me to come here.

What did you do to this Sun Protection Pearl before?

It won't be interesting if I tell you.

Ask him how he mastered the Mirror Splitting Technique.

Su Mo created this Sun Protection Pearl for me.

The people of Kongsang never had this technique before. How did you know this?

Why would I not know?

But he's really foolish. He distinctly only cultivated just this little bit,

and even used it here.

Right.

He used this on me who's going to turn to ashes.

He's really foolish.

Hence, I will use all efforts to protect him.

Then I want to see...

if you can get out alive.

I can tell you.

When you went to Jiuyi Mountain, I took advantage of it.

The five masters and I created an even bigger barrier.

Whether it's the Emperor of the Sea or Crown Prince of Kongsang,

they are just like moths attracted to the flame.

When that time comes, I will kill them in one fell swoop.

Bai Ying, regarding the Sun Protection Pearl,

I will explain it to you later. Let's think of a way to get out first.

Master Si, what's wrong with Young Master? Why is he in a coma again?

There are multiple powers in the Emperor of the Sea

that are entangling and colliding with each other.

These vicious and evil energies are putting him into a deep sleep.

Master Si, please save Young Master.

I will go all out and do my best.

Xi Jing, what are you looking at?

Your Highness, don't you find it strange?

What's so strange?

There are no guards at all.

Isn't this good? Hurry up.

Where should we enter from?

Bai Ying, I can't get out now

and don't know why I'm in the Sun Protection Pearl, either.

Try to talk to him and see if you can get any information.

Who will come to find death first?

The Emperor of the Sea or Crown Prince of Kongsang?

Who do you wish will come first?

I don't wish for either of them to come.

Your wish is to die.

Don't worry.

I don't need to do it,

and your ending will be the same.

This is how many things are in life.

You will never get what you wish for your whole life.

Things end up contrary to your wish.

If I can't get it, I won't force it.

To me, I have no regrets in this life.

No regrets.

Are people's desires so simple?

Strength, possession,

desires, jealousy, obsession,

and also... fear.

Can you really conquer them?

Bai Ying, don't let him probe you.

Try to shift the topic to him.

Everyone...

cannot conquer it,

so more people are harmed.

Is the person that you are talking about A'Wei?

A'Wei?

Y-Yes.

I am the one who harmed her.

She was the youngest daughter from a family of ship lords.

I was the astrologer they hired.

She and I only separated twice.

Twice?

The first time, she traveled far by sea

and encountered stormy waves. I searched all over Yunhuang

and found her in the Biluo Sea.

The second time...

was her death.

Biluo Sea?

The exit from the Biluo Sea was already sealed by Kongsang 7,000 years ago.

How could he have found A'Wei there?

Cangliu and Kongsang people only have a lifespan of 100 years.

How can they live for a long time without aging?

Bai Ying, ask him how long he's lived.

How long have you lived in this world?

Seven thousand years!

Time is already useless to me.

Someone who resembles Zhen Lan but has lived 7,000 years.

You've said before that the world is lonely,

and you wouldn't leave me here by myself.

But now, you've left me

with mountains and rivers silenced forever.

Mountains and rivers silenced forever?

Wasn't this written by the Heavenly King?

The sun rises and sets. To me, everything in this world

has already been transformed into dust.

You left me to be alone and hopeless.

I can only...

I can only look at...

your portrait.

Was this ripped from that book?

You are still exactly the same as back then.

You haven't changed.

Turning into ashes...

how good that would be.

To be able to die instantly

can be so enviable.

Back then, if I could have died along with you,

I wouldn't have had to now face...

the pain of not getting

what I wish for.

Bai Ying, don't be tempted by him.

Bai Ying, listen to me.

I went to the Flower Deity Tree and saw the wood plate you left there.

I know your innermost thought. You want to live more than anyone else.

You want to go back to the Biluo Sea with me.

Bai Ying, once Kongsang sees the sun again and

Quanxian returns to the Biluo Sea,

while everyone is overjoyed, I will not let you turn into ashes.

I don't believe that fate will be so cruel to me.

Bai Ying, believe me. I can change all of this.

One cannot change fate.

Furthermore, one cannot avoid fate.

Emperor of the Sea? You are always meddling!

It's right here.

Wait.

What is it now?

No wonder there are no guards. What should we do?

Another one has come.

He comes...

at the right time!

What exactly is this?

This power is so difficult to control.

This is the Splitting Technique.

Su Mo, hurry and run!

Young Master, you're awake?

Emperor of the Sea, I have already gotten rid of the extremely dark spirit inside your body.

In this entire universe, among the seven seas,

this evil spirit has never appeared in Heaven or on Earth.

I still need to obtain the dragon deity's power as soon as possible.

Ning Liang, take good care of Master Si.

Young Master, where are you going?

Mirror Pagoda.

You've trapped me here but won't kill me.

What are you planning to do?

Keep you here, so that I can see her.

A'Wei, it's been 7,000 years,

do you still recognize me?

I want to see if you are the same as her.

You still look the same

as you were originally.

Seven thousand years?

A'Wei?

Could he be Heavenly King?

A'Lang, I've been waiting for you.

Take me back.

I've been waiting here for you to rescue me.

My heart has always

belonged to you.

A... A'Wei.

She is not Bai Wei. Don't let her cheat you.

She is. She is waiting for me to rescue her.

If it weren't for the barrier, she would have sneaked away already.

She wouldn't have.

I waited 7,000 years for her.

A'Wei!

- Su Mo. - Take me back to the main camp.

Su Mo. Su Mo.

Master Si.

Why is he hot all over?

Ning Liang, go ahead and leave.

Su Mo.

There are many forces inside his body.

Even though I got rid of the evil spirit,

but he went to the Mirror Pagoda before he was fully recovered.

Now he has even less power

and cannot suppress the backlash activated by the Splitting Technique.

- This is why he is unconscious - Does he have insufficient force because

he infused half of his spirit sense into the Sunlight Blocking Pearl?

Is he unconscious because of the backlash?

Yes.

♫ I pray not for a fated moment ♫

♫ But to be able to meet you again ♫

♫ I smile not for joy ♫

♫ But to be brave enough to hold back tears ♫

♫ I'm not willing to waste this time alone ♫

♫ Yet you tell me to forget the memories ♫

♫ I quietly listen to the story starting at the beginning ♫

♫ Why must deep love be greedy and long for such words? ♫

♫ Unforgettable longing is like wind and the snow is like cherry blossoms ♫

♫ It seems that your footsteps are light ♫

♫ In my dream is you ♫

♫ Awake from my dreams, I wait for you ♫

♫ In my heart, you're the center of my small world ♫

[I am willing]

Su Mo.

You've been sleeping for a long time.

Do you know?

You are the most foolish person in the world.

You've done so much for me,

but you've never told me.

When will you wake up?

I have so much...

to tell you.

But I haven't had the chance.

♫ The layers of waves build up ♫

- Are you awake? - I was woken by your noise.

How do you feel now? Better?

I'm fine.

♫ We've met several times ♫

♫ Yet it is hard to mention our fated relationship from the past ♫

I'll be fine after resting for a few days.

You're lying. You infused half of your spirit sense

into the Sunlight Blocking Pearl. Isn't that right?

You've done so much for me,

but you've never told me.

I've always thought about doing something for you,

but I never did anything.

I can't even...

stay by your side.

Bai Ying.

You don't need to do anything.

I'm sorry.

♫ In exchange for only a moment of your smile ♫

♫ Use a lifetime to love only one person ♫

Bai Ying.

Don't say sorry anymore, all right?

No matter what happens in the future,

I won't ever let you disappear again.

I will always stay with you.

Will you believe me?

♫ When I want to return, it will be time for my dream to come true ♫

You two are here.

Brother Crown Prince fainted.

How did His Highness turn out this way?

A'Ying was sent to the Mirror Pagoda by Yu Huan.

His Highness and I wanted to barge into the palace to save her.

But when His Highness attempted to use the Power of Heaven to break through the barrier,

an extremely powerful force suddenly flew out of the barrier and attacked His Highness.

- What kind of force is it? - I have never seen it before.

Don't be anxious.

The High Priest says that if we can unseal another seal to strengthen the power of the king,

perhaps His Highness will recover.

I-I can. I can.

I have the Dispel Water Pearl, and I can undo the seal in the Ghost and Deity Abyss.

- Can you go down by yourself? - I'll go with Na Sheng.

Do you know what dangers you'll be facing?

I know. I've memorized them.

I also know the techniques to go underwater and be invisible.

Brother Crown Prince taught them to me.

I cannot let him die like this.

Before, whenever I was scared, all of you stayed with me and protected me.

Now, I will be the one to protect you.

Good.

After you undo the seal of Stranded Dragon Abyss,

there will only be the one left in the Mirror Pagoda.

Is there another solution about turning into ashes?

You... all know about it?

We already made the decision 100 years ago.

Please don't hesitate anymore. Hurry and save the people.

All right.

I believe His Highness would make the same choice.

I will escort them to the Ghost and Deity Abyss.

- All right. - All right.

Princess Chi. Prince Lan. Immediately take His Highness back to Wuse City.

Ask High Priest to review the ancient books.

If this method doesn't work, we must still find another way.

I heard that Princess Bai of Kongsang escaped right from under Lord Zhi Zhe.

And there is no order to capture her.

It was difficult to catch her,

how can she be released?

Have you received any orders

from Lord Zhi Zhe lately?

No.

Is it possible that Yu Zhu has concealed

or falsified orders from Lord Zhi Zhe?

I don't think she would dare.

She wouldn't dare.

But she might for her ambitious brother's sake.

This time, Yu Huan has come back alive from Jiuyi.

She's even achieved high merits.

Reporting.

My Lord, General Nan Zhao has sent a message.

Lord Master Peng, Fei Lian colluded with Quanxian.

He is being sent to the capital under escort.

It looks like I'm going to take this opportunity

to take back what was originally mine.

The Ghost and Deity Abyss is down there?

[Ghost and Deity Abyss]

Na Sheng, you've trained a long time.

Don't be scared, and don't rush.

Beware of what you see in the Ghost and Deity Abyss.

I will protect her.

I, Na Sheng, will definitely do my absolute best.
