The soul that lies dust-laden among the stars, the sun and the moon

Awakens the helplessness of a delirious nightmare.

Uncovering this destiny's thread of events,

cannot escape this lifetime of loneliness.

Behind lies gloomy haze,

before lies a mountain pass.

Even if I want to escape, there is no running away.

But regardless of how fate governs my life,

my persistent heart won't change.

No matter how much time passes and how much the world changes.

Listening to the forlorn sound of the guqin, can't forget what should be forgotten.

Mortal relations entrap my youth.

Forgive the clear arrogance I've hidden in my heart.

go forth into battle and face the vastness, mightiness of the earth and heaven.

Life is also desolate

deeply attracted, like a roaring blaze burning.

The past, watch as I walk once through the ups and downs.

Using the cold blade edge and the guqin's solitude, write the events of the past and of today.

the lonely sword against my fingertip, speak and laugh easily.

Episode 27

You... You really changed back.

Xiang Ling, you... you changed back.

But...my ears and tail still remain.

-Thank you, Qian Shang. -It's nothing.

As long as you're back, don't worry about anything else.

Actually, with them remaining still, you're even more lovable.

-Really? -Really!

Yes... Yes, very lovable.

That's great then. I'll go look for Tusu now.

What's wrong?

A little bit lightheaded.

Lightheaded? Isn't she better now?

Little fox demon's injuries are too severe. How could it heal that fast?

She can only heal 6 hours a day.

You need to take time to heal.

Six hours?... Then she's only human 6 hours a day.

During the other times, she will be a demon?

So what if I'm a demon. If you don't like it, then stay away from me.

I didn't say that I didn't like it. No matter how you change, I will still like you.

Xiang Ling, you're hungry right? I'll treat you to some good food.

Look here. I put in so much effort.

Before we discussed about the wine,

and the 1,000 taels.

Qian Shang, you know that I left home.

I didn't bring alot of money with me.

But...I can write a letter to my second sister.

She can bring the money, then I will buy you wine.

You left home. You think that your sister will send money to me.

You..you..you... You think that I'm stupid.

Qian Shang is such a good person.

You wouldn't take this to heart. I owe you for now. Thanks. Let's go.

You people! You big liars!

Qian Shang,

You're really noble.

I'm flattered. I'm flattered.

At home, depend on parents. When away, depend on friends.

If I don't help them, when Shao Gong returns, he will blame me.

Hey, you guys, wait for me.

I have finished my wine.

Susu, have you seen this type of magic before?

Honorable Master has once taught me the magical arts of restoring spiritual energy that was lost.

But I've never heard of anyone transferring energy to another's body before

This magical art is truly amazing.

Looks like Qian Shang's magical skills are higher than I imagined

Hong Yu

I heard from Susu and Ling Yue that you're very knowledgeable.

I want to ask you. Do you know the magic that Qian Shang used?

It's not that I know a lot

I just have lived long and seen many things.

Even though I am not too sure about what type of magic he used

But I know a little bit.

In the human world, all who cultivate themselves do it through breatharianism

Becoming an immortal also follows this method

It's very rare that someone can transfer spiritual energy to restore another.

I suspect that's he's using arts of earth energy.

Why are you so interested in learning about Qian Shang?

To be honest, I have always felt that

Qian Shang is my real brother.

Really?

Even though I haven't seen the type of magic he uses before

But the origin of his powers seems to resemble our Youdu's methods

The art of blood application?

Yes. The art of blood application

is a very high end magical art that can surpassed space,

and combine the spiritual energy from the heaven and the earth to be used together.

The magical arts that big brother Yin just used is extremely similar to that.

Just now when I was watching him use magic I was also very curious

He's only a Jiang Hu wanderer, not someone cultivating to be an immortal

Why does he know such a high level of magic?

From the first time that I met him, I have always felt that he's my brother.

But he won't admit it.

My brother has been missing for 11 years.

I think that there's a reason holding him back from telling me. I'm worried about him.

It could be that he experienced some hardship causing him to lose his memory.

However, he hasn't forgotten You Do's magic.

I'm suspecting that he's someone I met before.

-Who? -I'm not sure at this point.

But Qing Xue... There must be something about him that we don't know yet.

So, I will help you question him.

Then thank you Hong Yu.

Let me help you.

Ok, thank you.

A tough man like you is here making medicine.

I can't believe that you are such a thoughtful person.

Did you frequently used to make medicine for someone?

As a man, from playing instruments to painting, from guessing riddles to meetings, you have to be familiar with it all.

Aunt Tong took care of me before.

It's only right that I return the favor.

Oh right, that day you helped Xiang Ling recover some power and tapped into your own cultivation.

If you're not feeling well, don't push yourself.

Hong Yu really cares for me.

I don't know how important I am.

Isn't it obvious to help friends?

The magic you used the other day was very damaging to your cultivation.

You should be cautious on when to use it.

You know this method?

We wouldn't know the arts of blood application, the use of a spiritual energy to restore another spiritual energy?

What's that? I've never heard of it.

You don't know the name of your own magic skills?

Truthfully, I really don't know its name.

I just made it up.

You made it up?

This is the first time I heard someone can make up a magical method.

Something small as an ant, it's not worth mentioning.

Well, then I want to ask. We all know that magical arts use the Chi energy. (Chi means breath)

Only the the blood application of the earth is through the spirit.

How did you think of such a method?

I really don't know how I did it.

I may have read about it from a book.

At that time, I was thinking of treating a dead horse like a live horse to heal. So, I unknowingly use that.

Who knew it would work.

It seems that I have another skill to make money.

As to our Sister Hong Yu, who knows the Peach Blossom is full of spiritual energy,

and know about what Blood... and what practice.

You sure know alot.

But like an ant, it's not worth talking about.

It's better that a woman is making the medicine.

Help me watch it for a bit. I'm going to practice playing instruments and painting.

No need to bid me farewell.

Qian Shang

Tusu

-Today, I have wine for you. -Great.

This is rare.

Tusu sharing wine with me is indeed rare.

You are also here to ask for Qing Xue.

Alright.

It's totally worth Qing Xue loving you wholeheartedly.

You really care for her.

If I'm really Qing Xue's older brother,

then I have nothing to worry about.

If you're not Qing Xue's older brother, then where is your home?

Wandering Jiang Hu, the four corners of the earth as my home.

You guys should stop pursuing the issue.

I don't mind that Qing Xue thinks I'm her brother.

Why do you think so too?

Truthfully, the first that I met you, I felt that I knew you from before.

Knew from before?

Isn't her brother from You Dou? How did you know him?

I don't remember clearly.

I just remember when I was a child, I drank wine with him.

He's the first person that told me about the outside world.

About the prosperity and how it's full of life.

From here, you go for around 10 nights,

you will then see lighted markets, large boats, large waves,

loud voices and drums, wine, gambling, and plays.

So, the outside world is actually very fun.

Then what happened afterwards? Where did Feng Guang Mo go?

Qing Xue said that he went to help Wu Meng Valley.

Then the masked men pursued after him.

And Wu Meng Valley was destroyed. I can't remember anything after that.

-The masked men? -What's wrong?

It's nothing.

It's in the past. Don't think about it anymore.

Here, let's drink.

Wine... It really does make you forget your worries.

Forget your past.

Wine doesn't become drunk, but people become drunk.

If you want to forget, then forget.

You are too serious.

It's nice to be muddled minded while living in this world.

Thinking too much is tiring.

You say to not think.

But with Hua Shang's situation, you have done alot.

Also, you have helped me and Shao Gong.

Whether you want to or not. It's not really up to you.

I have disappointed Hua Shang.

When she was alive, I haven't done anything for her.

Now, I can only find the culprit, so she can rest in peace.

As for Shao Gong, he's the one that saved my life.

Helping you is like helping him.

Shao Gong is skilled in medicine, how come he can't help you regain your memory?

Even if the skills are great, not all illnesses can be healed especially my condition.

You can't break open my head, and see what happened in the past.

Actually, it's fine like this.

You see. It's not easy to let go.

Senior Brother once told me.

Even if you can't let go, you still keep it inside.

And sometimes, you will just accept it.

What you said makes sense.

Although I can't remember the past,

I have always believed that I don't want people to force me.

Maybe in my past life, I was imprisoned for too long.

Or maybe I wasn't free that I believe like this.

At first, when leaving Tian Yong City, I wanted to control my fate.

Use my own strength to fight against the Burning.

But in the end, if it wasn't for everyone's help, I wouldn't have survived to this day.

Everyone?

You actually mean Qing Xue.

Young people are great.

Looking at my age,

I don't have that kind of heart anymore.

Why?

Men like us talking about feelings is like drinking wine.

There's good wine but no bad wine. At different times it becomes a different feeling

and then you want to drink a different type of wine

It's just does your mood match with the wine right now.

You and Qing Xue are doing great.

Just assume that both sides are happy.

Lan Sheng and Xiang Ling is different.

Xiang Ling is naive, easily confused, and has a childish personality.

She wouldn't understand the relationship between a man and a woman.

Lan Sheng is hot-headed and picky.

He wants to drink good wine, but Xiang Ling is still drinking water. Right?

If you weren't a friend, I wouldn't tell you. Let's drink.

-What are they selling over there? -Don't look. Let's go.

Look here. Jewelry and make up.

Young miss, look at this.

These earrings are pretty.

You have good eyes. Try them on.

Xiang Ling, if you like it, let's just buy them all.

You can try them at home.

You don't have alot of money.

Even if I like it, we don't actually have to buy it.

Let's go look at other places.

That girl is quite weird, wearing something on her head

Xiang Ling, it's hot outside today.

-Let's go back home. -I don't want to go home.

What are you looking at!

Young miss, which do you like? Please look at them comfortably.

I like this one.

This figure looks like Tusu.

Mentioning Tusu again.

Get your money out.

Xiang Ling, this is very ugly. Why would you want this?

Let's switch for another one.

Petty! Give the money!

You don't have to sell anymore. Get rid of all the figures like Tusu.

-Thank you. -Alright.

Xiang Ling, how about we go back home?

I don't want to go back.

I've already stayed in the hotel for so long already, it was so hard to come out for a walk.

No, your health isn't that good yet.

And you...

When you're better, I'll go out every day with you. Ok?

I don't want to.

-Who needs you to go with me. I'll go by myself. -Hey...

La...

Stop there! No point in running now.

Sis...Sis, let go first and then talk. It hurts.

You ran away from home. Do you think that I wasn't hurt?

-That has nothing to do with me. -You...

Lan Sheng

Yue Yan

Ru Qin, I'm sorry.

I don't blame you. I know him very well.

He must have followed you.

Did he cause any trouble?

None at all. He helped us alot.

See. You heard her.

I just went out to play. I'm fine.

Don't you dare talk. You got to go out and play.

Are you tired yet?

Two days ago, father sent a letter.

He said he'll be home soon, and he misses you. Come back home with me.

Every time father sends a letter home about visiting he always arrives three months or even half a year later

There's no reason to rush home. Xiang Ling...

Tusu and Qing Xue are still sick. They need people to take care of them.

You take care of others? As long as you don't bother them, that's helping them. Come home.

They're sick. Even Aunt Tong is sick.

Everyone in Jiang Du is sick.

Aunt Tong is sick?

Aunt Tong has always been sick. You should go visit her.

How could she be so sick? Did you look for a doctor to see her?

A doctor came already. He said she's old and suffered a serious injury.

that's why she's still in a coma.

Aunt Tong

You have to hang on. You are Shao Gong's family.

He needs you

Aunt Tong! Aunt Tong!

Aunt Tong! Aunt Tong?

Aunt Tong? Is there something you need to say?

Tell me!

Lan Sheng

Miss Sun. Long time no see

Your sister was very worried the day you left home

I was also very worried

I thought something had happened

What could happen to me? I just came out to explore some

You know that everything I do my sister exaggerates.

It's fine okay? I'll go now

Lan Sheng!

Miss Sun. What is it?

When do you plan to return to Qing Chuan?

This...I haven't decided yet

I still have other things to take care of

Then I'll stay here to wait for you okay?

Stay here? You can't

You are Miss Sun. I'll go now.

Lan Sheng! I know it's not right of me

But I've already come

Lan Sheng. I like you.

What type of girl do you like?

You can tell me, I can become that type!

This really won't do

You don't have fate with me

We've known each other since childhood

how can you say there's no fate?

Qing Xue also told me

if you like someone you have to be forward!

I will show you my pure intentions

Tusu and Qing Xue have reciprocal feelings for each other, so of course they can be more forward!

But the two of us really can't be! I'm really going to go now, okay?

Yue Yan

-You saw? -Yue Yan, I never thought you would leave home

Did your nanny let you come?

I was worried about Lan Sheng

so I begged Ru Qin to bring me

-Yue Yan, actually Lan Sheng he... -Qing Xue

You don't have to say it

I know what you want to say

Actually I understand

He doesn't have me in his heart

But I still don't want to give up on him

Once I knew he left Qing Chuan, I felt like I'd become empty

Couldn't eat or sleep

I was afraid he'd suffer outside

If he met something dangerous, I was afraid he'd never return

Then I'd never see him again

That's why I came

Even though he can't accept me right now

At the very least I can see him

Being by his side is good too

Yue Yan, why suffer like this?

But I don't think it's suffering

Nanny once told me that I would definitely meet a big crisis when I turned 18

In this year, I've met you and Lan Sheng

You were right. If you like someone,

you should go tell him

Even if there's no chance with him

you should still go and try

Qing Xue, I don't want to give up

Don't pull me!

Why can't I go out?

Please Xiang Ling, stay in Tusu's room for a few more days okay?

After a few days when they leave I'll go out with you okay?

It's not like I owe your sister! Why should I stay here?

Then treat it as doing it for me okay?

After a few days I'll get them to leave okay?

I could go to Qing Xue's room

Why must I stay here?

Qing Xue? Think about it. She's such good friends with Sun Yue Yan

So Sun Yue Yan would definitely go find Qing Xue.

Then my sister will find you, and I'll get dragged back to Qing Chuan again

You don't want me to get dragged back and leave you alone here do you?

I'm not alone. I have Tusu gege

Your Tusu gege already has Qing Xue

Where would he find time to care about you?

Besides

If I left, no one would be here to talk to you right?

Okay okay. You are such a nag. I promise you okay?

Xiang Ling you are the best

Is there anything you want to eat?

-I'll go buy it for you! -Eat you!

-Qing Xue -Little black hair

How many times did I say it? I'm Black demon!

How come you didn't come see me if you've returned to Jiang Du?

Any news about Jin Niang?

Um...none.

You are still with that woodblock face?

Don't call Susu that.

If you say it again I won't care about you anymore.

What's so good about that woodblock face? All day he walk around with his coffin face.

As if someone owes him money.

I treat you so well, but you act so cold towards me.

Qing Xue

Qing Xue, I brought news for you.

What news?

Didn't you want me to find info on Qian Shang?

I heard some news. I came to tell you.

What news about Qian Shang?

I always remember everything that you tell me.

I heard that 11 years ago Qian Shang appeared in Jiang Du.

He was hurt and was saved by someone.

Who saved him?

Ouyang Shao Gong

Qian Shang! Qian Shang!

What's wrong? Did something happen to Tusu?

No. I heard that 11 years ago you were sick.

Bad luck! Bad luck!

What are you saying? Who's sick?

I heard it already.

I heard from Shao Gong that you are from the North. Then why did you come to Jiang Du?

Did he save? Where did he save you?

Of course not! It's normal for a man to travel from North to South.

Qing Xue, you're worried about me because you still think that I'm your brother.

I'm not just thinking it. You are my older brother.

Sister... No, wait.

Qing Xue, if you really need a big brother,

I can entirely put myself at a disadvantage to have a sister like you

But you've really mistaken. I'm not the person you are talking about!

-Big Brother! -Big Sister!

I'm really not your older brother!

If there's anything else you want to ask,

wait until Shao Gong returns. When he returns, you can ask him.

I need to make medicine for Aunt Tong.

Let's talk another time.

Aunt Tong

Do you remember when I met you and Shao Gong?

It was at Jiang Du.

Please sit. During this time, how do you feel?

Thank you for worrying. My injuries have healed alot.

Only that I can't remember anything.

I heard from Elder tong that you found me outside of Mount Heng.

You brought me back here.

A few days ago, I went back to check the area.

But I still can't remember the past.

In the past, when I travel around to heal,

I've also had an amnesia patient before

Alot of things can cause memory loss.

You can't quickly remember a large portion.

Don't worry too much. Just take care of yourself.

When it's time,

you will eventually remember.

In these few days, I have been reading books.

What I read in the book are very strange.

It's like...

I have never read these books.

Shao Gong looks young,

but you have great stature . You are also very intelligent.

Can you tell me about this world?

There is nothing special about the world.

It's just... your current situation is very unique.

If you want to know more, then go see for yourself.

The vast waste land of the north.

The dense wooded area of the south.

The snowy weather of the west.

The vast oceans of the east.

There aren't enough words to describe how great it is.

Whether the world is large or small,

if you want to experience it. A piece of Fan Xiang and a zither

would be enough.

If you have time, then you should think of a name.

It'll be easier to address you.

A name?

In your room, I read a book.

Written in the book, it mentions something called wine.

Qian Shang is drunk and doesn't know how to worry.

If you're drunk, you can forget all the worries of the world.

My name...

Let's call me, Yin Qian Shang.

Yin Qian Shang

What a good name.

Here the opportunity is great and the days to dream is long.

How about one day I will drink with you?

Aunt Tong

I will leave here to go travel around.

I come to say farewell to you.

Jiang Hu is full of trials and dangers

Mr. Yan must have thought it through.

I want to see how beautiful the world is.

Here at Jiang Du,

sightseeing the things around here gave me a lot of memories.

I wonder what the outside world is actually like.

Just like these blue flowers,

it has opened my eyes.

These flowers

are planted by Shao Gong.

Even though Shao Gong is young,

it seems like he knows everything.

What's the name of this flower?

Jun Ying grass

Jun Ying grass?

By looking at it, you remember someone?

You should go. Don't be stubborn about the past.

It might be a good thing.

Take care.

Good bye.

"reciting a poem"

There's talent!

The wine is not bad.

It is true that the wine from Ah Suen's Family is good.

Qian Shang is really in a good mood.

Shao Gong, why did you come here?

Sit!

Why did you come here?

I heard that there's a strange flower at the river here.

So I especially came here to see it.

Coincidentally, from your previous letter, you told me that

you liked the wine here.

I will be in the area for a while, so I decided to come visit you.

Oh, it really is who knows where one can meet again?

It's a pity that I drank all the wine. I can't share with you.

I only come to visit a good friend.

Whether there is wine or not, why does it matter?

Honorable. Honorable!

It's been over a year, since we last met. Shao Gong haven't change a bit.

Really?

Yet, I see that you changed.

At that time, I told you to live as you please.

I wasn't sure if it was right or wrong.

I can't believe that

you become like this. -What's not good like this?

There past 5 years, I have been to a lot of places.

An Jin's mountains and water is like a flower, Bun Tun's great waters,

Qi Gua's lonely mountain and rain.

I also have been there.

I tried living different lifestyles.

I went back to the beginning. Only like this is truly freedom.

Life is short, so seek pleasure.

Since it is such a short period of several decades,

I just live the way that I want.

Shao Gong

Have you heard this before?

The seniors of this area said that there is a river here

half of the water came from underground.

The part that is underground is named Wan Chuan. (Wan Chuan means forgotten village)

Wan Chuan river is full of lost spirits.

That saying is pretty interesting.

Wan Chuan.

This name... I think that I heard it before.

But I can't remember.

Is it from your past?

Who knows? Who cares if I can't remember.

What a waste of time.

It's better to drink more wine instead.

Qing Xue has repeatedly called me her older brother.

Some times I even start thinking that I'm... that I'm...

Feng Guang Mo

Aunt Tong once told me

not to hold onto the past.

When I get the chance,

I should convince to stop being stubborn.

How long do you plan on staying here?

I can't go anywhere.

Lan Sheng wanted me to hide from his sister.

He won't let me go here or there.

I won't

bother you guys here.

What about this? Look..

like this. Like this.. I can't see anything.

I will cover my ears and won't hear anything.

You two can do whatever you want. I won't bother you.

I can't see or hear.

I can't see or hear.

-Xiang Ling! Xiang Ling! Xiang Ling. -I can't hear or see.

Xiang Ling! I bought good food for you.

-You want to scare me to death. -Eat quickly.

-Is there some for me and Susu? -I only bought Xiang Ling's favorite foods.

If you want to eat, go buy it yourself.

Stingy! -Yes, I'm stingy.

You...

Susu, let's go. Let's go eat.

So annoying.

Quick. What do you want to eat?

I eat this everyday.

I had enough of it.

Then what do you want to eat? I'll go outside and buy it for you.

I want to go buy it myself.

Buy it yourself? But I'm worried that...

I stay here every day. So boring.

I don't even have anyone to talk to.

I guess that we can go outside...

Really?

-That's great. Let's go outside now. -Alright then.

This is our new shipment.

Customer, please go over here.

Yue Yan, I have promised Nanny that I would take good care of you.

I am afraid that you are not used to living in a hotel.

Thank you Ru Qin for taking care of me. I'm very well.

Every day I get to see Lan Sheng.

I didn't discipline him enough.

I let him go where ever he wanted.

After you two get married,

you can take my place and discipline him.

Lan Sheng only likes to play.

Yue Yan, don't worry.

I will defend you.

When we return to Qin Chuan, you two will be married.

Let's look over there.

Yue Yan, look at this fabric.

It would be great for a wedding dress.

I like it too.

Look around and see if there's any others that you like.

I want this. And this too. Money.

-Then I want this one. Is this enough? -That's enough.

Let's go. Let's look over there.

Xiang Ling, don't run around.

Wait a few days until my sister leaves, then you can go where ever you want.

I'll go with you where ever.

Are you not going back with your sister?

Actually, I want to go back.

If my sister accepts you, I will go home.

She doesn't like me. Why does she need to accept me?

Where ever you go, I want to go.

I won't go back even if I die.

Then you can die right now.

Yue Yan, don't be sad.

Now Lan Sheng has been bewitched by that demon.

Ru Qin, I am fine.

If Lan Sheng really like that girl...

Girl... You don't know.

She's actually a fox demon.

Don't eat anymore. You're getting chubby. Hold off from eating.

When you return, I'll give you more.

-Tusu Ru Qin, are you looking for me?

Can you help me with something?

Please tell me.

I would like you to send a letter to Ling Duan at Tian Yong City.

It has something to do with Lan Sheng.

I would like to talk to him.

Are you letting Lan Sheng go to Tian Yong City?

I haven't thought it through.

That's why I want to talk to Senior Brother.

Can you help me?

Of course.

Here's the letter. Please send it to him.

Thank you.

It's nothing.

Senior Brother, is it a letter from Tusu?

The words are so pretty.

It's written by a woman right?

Fu Qu, tell Head Reverend that I need to go to Jiang Du.

Did something happen to Tusu?

No, a friend is asking me for help.

How important is this friend? Your injuries haven't healed yet.

Don't move around too much.

Your friend is a woman right?

Don't get your imagination wild.

My friend is captured by a demon. She needs me to vanquish the demon.

Really?

What demon is it that needs you to capture?

The day that Tusu was injured

it was this friend that cared for him.

Now, he's in danger, I have to help.

Ok, you can go.

But this time, you need to take me with you.

Fell in love with the quietly flowing river of stars that fill the sky

as if a dream has covered itself in soft flowing robes

moist eyes cannot hold back the sorrow that stirs in my heart

In this moment, I should be leaning on your shoulder.

I still remember your simple and innocent appearance in the beginning

But now you've experienced the vicissitudes of life

Even if I'll get hurt, I'm still willing to forever

Wait at your side like this.

Look into the distance, in the direction in which you pointed

We went there to climb, to wander

In the distance, those clear bright times

Even now they are unforgettable.

Look into the distance, we were once impetuous in our youth

Nursing our dreams, we traversed the vast land

We searched for the heaven of love in distant places

I went flying with you.

Bravely fly into the distance.
