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 28

Fuqu, go tell Head Reverend that I have to make a trip to Jiang Du

Did something happen to Tusu?

No. It's just a friend who needs my help

What kind of friend is so important?

Senior Brother have not recover from your injures yet. It's best not to travel now.

Your friend is a girl, right?

Don't get your imagination wild.

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

Really?

What type of demon is it that must require you to vanquish?

Back then when TuSu got injured. It was this friend who housed him and took care of him.

Now that she has trouble, I have to help her.

Okay. It's okay if you want to go.

but this time you have to take me with you.

You can't go. You stay here.

Reverend Leader won't let you go down the mountain either.

I've already had a discussion with my dad. He allows me to go down the mountain once a year.

Senior Brother, please take me with you.

I have not seen TuSu for a long, long time. I missed him.

No. -Senior Brother.

Take me with you, please?

Senior Brother has not recover from your injures. I could take care of you on the way.

Beside, if you want to vanquish demons, I could help. I definitely won't add to your worries.

Okay?

Okay, Senior Brother? Okay?

Okay Senior Brother?

Okay.

Thank you Senior Brother!

Senior Brother, do you think this look like you?

It's so cute/lovable.

You said you wanted to accompany down the mountain, but what you really wanted was to come out to play.

From when I could remember, I've always been in Tian Yong City.

Once in awhile I get to down the mountain and be at the foot of Qun Lun Shan. (Shan means mountain)

I also want to see the hustles and busyness of the human world.

Senior Brother, thank you!

What are you thanking me for?

Though you could have used your sword, but you accompany me instead. (He could fly w/his sword, but he walk w/her instead.)

I didn't use my sword because I did not want to use my energy.

Honorable Teacher told me before that I shouldn't use my sword everywhere I go.

Sometimes, walking is also a form of practice

My skill is still very low.

I could understand this even more since I came back from Tin Zhu Quan.

I heard from the other fellow disciples saying that the incident at Tie Zhu Temple was a close shave

Where is this wolf demon from?

You and TuSu have exhausted all efforts

but could only half vanquished it.

Quan Leader said that this wolf demon is call Lord Shi Yue.

He has been locked up for over a hundred years.

He hated human to the bones.

Over a hundred years, that long?

He was locked up under the water by the previous Quan leader, Dou Yuen.

They have an agreement that the wolf demon cannot escape from the lake prison.

So the wolf demon was extremely angry.

If one day he could come out. He will kill all the people.

That cruel?

A wolf demon full of hatred?

Then why did Elder Dou Yuen did not just kill him at that time?

Sometimes, there are certain things that have both the positive and negative side.

That process is not something that we could understand.

What is it, Senior Brother?

It's a letter from Quan leader. The fire of wolf demon has not extinguished yet.

Didn't TuSu already extinguished the wolf demon?

It must be that the wolf demon's murderous aura is too strong.

That's why the wolf demon presence is still around.

Yesterday, while cleaning, the the disciples

ran into the remnant of the wolf demon at the wolf demon's holding place.

He injured the disciples and broke through the holding water.

Don't know which direction he ran to.

After we got rid of wolf demon

I sense the wolf demon's aura on TuSu.

TuSu told the me that before the wolf demon died, he forced his inner cultivated pearl into TuSu.

There is actually something like that happened?

At that time TuSu didn't think much of it.

He thought that wolf demon has repented.

But now that I think of it. It's not that simple.

That wolf demon has been locked up for over a hundred years. It's filled with hatred.

I'm afraid the leftover remnants of the wolf demon would harm the human world and cause havoc.

I'm old now

and the other disciples in the sect are not very skilled.

Plus the wolf demon's remnant is shapeless and invisible.

Only the highly skilled can track it down.

Even if they could track down the wolf demon, they would not be able draw out the wolf remnant.

Senior Brother, you have not recover from your prior injuries.

This matter does not just involve the people of Tin Zhu Quan, but also TuSu's safety.

I will try to find wolf demon as soon as possible and not let you down.

Good.

There is so many people in Tin Zhu Quan and they knew you have not recover from your injuries.

If you think this is too much trouble, you can return to Tian Yong City first.

I am worry about you. Your body is not well.

Beside, the world is so big. Where are we going to find a shapeless and invisible demon remnant?

We've lost the trace at the water. What should we do?

Wolf demon's energy force must find a place to re-gather

If it doesn't it will dissipate over time.

But if it wants to re-gather, it must either possess a human or an animal.

This place is heavy with spiritual energy.

If I am the wolf demon, I will definitely come here.

I am sure the wolf demon is nearby.

In the light of day it scared me to death to see a corpse come alive again.

That's right. I already said that kid is weird. Let's not go back to the city for the next few days.

Just overhead you talking about waking corpse. What is this all about?

We are disciples from Tian Yong City. Our specialty is to vanquished demons and get rid of the evils of the world.

What exactly happened in the mountain?

This is what happened. A couple days ago, a guy from our village drown while he was fishing at the river.

By the time his corpse float up his body was already pale white.

As we were burying him, he suddenly came to life.

That's very weird.

What's more weird is that from that time on, there is not a peaceful day in the village.

That's right. All lot of people died without reason.

Every night there is a lot of shadows flying here and there.

It must be that kid's doing.

Everyone has left the village. It's a ghost town now.

We are leaving too. Let's go. -Go. Go. Go.

Let's go take a look at the village.

Senior brother

Who are you?

We are passerby. We wait to find a place to sit.

The whole way here we find that the village is very quiet (empty), except for you.

The village is haunted. Everyone has left.

You were that drowned corpse?

I am a live person.

If you are afraid of me. Then leave.

We have traveled for half a day and feel hungry now.

Can you give us something to eat?

If you want to eat, go ahead.

Little brother, what is your name?

Er Gou Zhi. (Er Gou means 2nd dog or 2 dogs)

Sorry

This is the first time someone apologize to me.

When I was little, they said that I have caused my dad and mom to die.

When I grew a little, they said that I steal and would eat anything.

Like a hungry ghost.

Actually, it was because I was really too hungry.

Later, I fell into the water.

No one came to my rescue.

When I wake up, they said I was a live corpse.

That is my life.

It's because they were bias.

They are not used to seeing someone who is different from them.

Brother, don't mind them.

You also know/understand?

I have a junior brother.

He too was an outcast by the rest of the disciples.

They called him a monster.

Also, I have experienced hunger when I was little. I know that feeling.

Here. Eat.

Thank you.

Little brother.

Are you okay?

I'm okay.

I remembered a story.

What story?

Let's hear it.

Long time ago,

There was a wolf at the chaotic time after a battle,

suddenly notice a child

Initially he wanted to eat that child.

But he saw that child is so small and quite pathetic.

So, he let him go. He even find something to eat for the child.

The child thought that his is just a big dog.

And even consider it, his own friend.

He didn't know

the big dog is a 1000 year-old wolf demon.

The child was afraid of the dark. So Big Dog find a lantern for him.

They even agreed

as long as the lantern is lit at night,

Big Dog will come and keep him company.

People will feel lonely. But wolves don't.

In time,

wolf got used to the child's company.

He even made a dagger for the child.

Too bad, there is a day when wolf have to part.

And the human had to too.

Later, the child was left with a taoist.

But did the wolf never thought to leave the child behind?

Of course he did.

When he saw the taoist took the child away,

the wolf demon had

the feeling of seeing the cow or sheep he has raise being taken away by someone else type of feeling.

But in the end he did let the child go.

Just that he thinks

that human is even more undomesticated than wolves.

Really shouldn't have under-mind human beings.

He didn't play with human from then on.

But

the wolf demon actually do like to play with the child. He even took care of him.

He words didn't match what is in his heart.

The wolf demon has cultivated for over a thousand year. He is the lord of the demons. Why would he care for a child?

Human and demon are supposedly not on the same path.

To be parted is natural.

Then what happened?

Later, the child became a man with great magical skills.

He setup a wolf demon trap

to trap the wolf demon.

The wolf demon recognized the child.

And innocently thought

he raise the child.

He would remember such grace.

But he never thought.

In the child's eyes

demon is demon, full of ambition.

The reason the child wanted to vanquished the demon was because wolf ate human and harm human.

But during famine time, even human eats, let alone wolf.

Doesn't human also eat other living things?

How can human be compare to animals?

They are all lives. What is the difference?

And then? How did that child treat him?

The child used the dagger that the wolf demon gave him.

He put a spell to the dagger.

So within the area of 10 miles, everything became desolated.

He used a spell to link the earth center to place where they lock up demons in Tin Zhu Quan.

He used the caring feelings the wolf demon had for the child to capture him?

That's right.

Seeing the village full of traps

and the lit lantern

wolf demon knows there is an ambush.

Even though his heart knows of this

but he was still affect by his feelings for the child.

At the end, he couldn't control himself and went to save the child.

And fell into their trap.

At that moment, the wolf demon finally realized

in his eyes, 10 years past by,

but he has never forgotten the child.

Dou Yuen.

Taoist way and value, it truly is a good name.

That's right.

Lord Shi Yue.

Now with the strength of the remnant

possessed in a sick and weak child's body, it cannot be consider to be any type of magical arts.

I am now a human.

If you kill me

this young man will die too.

Big Senior Brother, what is this?

He wanted to get the help of the evil spirits around.

Big Senior Brother, you've just recover, don't injure your energy force.

Don't mind me. Leave first!

Becareful!

Big Senior Brother!

Don't come over here!

Dumbo.

You were already injured at Tin Zhu Quan

and you still tried to used your cultivated energy?

I am Lord Shi Yue.

Even as a remnant, to take care of you is more than enough.

Big Senior Brother, you should not have used your energy to save me.

I am your big senior brother.

You have suddenly come out to help us.

Are you related to Tin Zhu Quan?

Tin Zhu Quan leader is an old friend of mine.

He asked me to come and assist you two.

You know the wolf demon?

Could you be

the taosist, Dou Yuen?

Since you guys think I am Dou Yuen, there is nothing I could do about it.

Elder, what the wolf demon has said, are they all true?

It's true.

That year

I went back to Tin Zhu Quan with master.

Worked hard to learn the magical arts.

surpassing everyone.

Year by year, I finally got the chance to go down the mountain.

Master commanded me to go down the mountain to catch a demon.

He only said that it is a fiery wolf demon.

I did not see the wolf demon kill people and eat people with my own eyes.

And I couldn't determine if he is related to this.

But if a demon eats a human, then he is has committed a great crime.

Even if he split his bones and rescues other, that would not repay (or even out) what he has done.

With that determination,

I could only use this dagger.

with my own bodily aura as a bait and add a spell to it.

As a result, captured this demon.

The water in the retreat area of Tin Zhu Quan has the power to block demons.

Wolf demon's power is very strong. He was even more scary after capture.

Not something a moral body can control.

But if it is something that I, Dou Yuen, wanted to do, I'll accomplish it no matter what.

Later,

I have been everywhere

and have received over a hundred thousand copper money.

Each copper money is a memory of grace.

Countless people's hearts

became the highest quality metal.

This strength is like a celestial person.

After I melted the copper money and I submerged it into iron water.

The metal to defeat and control demons in the earth.

I then went into the water and subdued and confined Shi Yue in the grounds Tin Zhu.

Lord Shi Yue

If one day, you change your evil character,

I will light a light at the mouth of the cave and let you go.

Only the light would unlock the demon trap.

If no one lights the light, with the link between the Jiang River of the heavens & earth

it would be impossible for Shi Yue to this seal and escape.

So, this is the reason why it is not allowed to light lights in the cave of Tin Zhu Quan.

Later, I suggest to the sect leader

to reorganize Tin Zhu Quan

to vanquishing demons

and let it be the focus of the sect

But I heard the disciples of Tin Zhu Quan said

the previous leader, Dou Yun has a weird habit

that is he has to lit the lantern when dark

If the light waver or got blown out by the wind, he will immediately wake up.

Is it because he felt guilty?

You and Shi Yue has an agreement

so that he has a change to be release.

The agreement of light was just our initial agreement. But demons eating people is worthy of death.

Such simple and clear reason

I don't even have time to consider.

I didn't have the heart to do it.

Without giving any thoughts, he fell into his own trap.

But I...

am not a saint.

You confined Shi Yue under the water,

it looks like you are heartless and not honorable.

But in fact, you wanted to save his life, right?

You shouldered the responsibility of a friend

and gave him a chance to repent.

And then for the rest of your life

you suffered.

Accompanying a friend who you can't see again and who won't understand you.

So you live like that your whole life?

The warmth that I desired for when I was little,

has long been sealed beneath the dark the water

Who would not have anger toward you if they were lock up over a hundred years.

It's a pity that though you've tried your best, he still could not escape the fate of death.

No.

Before he died,

he saw Baili TuSu sacrificed his life for his friends and other people by fighting with alone with him.

He finally felt it.

Otherwise he won't have given his inner cultivated pearl to Baili TuSu.

At the end, Shi Yue

was changed by the true love of the human world.

That's why

this time, I won't do wrong again.

I have sealed Shi Yue's demonic spirit in this young man's body.

In a short period of time, he shouldn't be able to do anything evil/bad again.

What about the original owner of the body?

That young man was already dead before Shi Yue found him.

If we separate the demonic spirit by force

I am afraid the body lying there on the floor

would just be a corpse.

Hope that wolf demon can live nicely this time with the borrowed body.

If the seal broke, he will remember everything.

I'm afraid this will be a disadvantage to you Elder.

That year

the child left with his Master

He only wanted to learn the magical arts.

Just like when Shi Yue protected him,

(I) will protect Shi Yue.

Never thought that after locking Shi Yue up for a hundred years

at the end, Shi Yue dead with hatred.

So

I need to give him a chance.

Take him to retreat with me.

Until we find the method to dissipate his hatred.

I'm afraid it might be a hundred years,

a thousand years,

I will definitely be by his side.

Let us go.

Big Senior Brother, are you okay?

When I was little, Honorable Master had once asked why use the sword?

I told him that it was to protect those around me.

At that time, he did not answer me.

Later, TuSu also asked the same question. I answered him with the same reply.

The sword in hand is to protect those around us.

Until today

I finally understand why Honorable Master did not answer me back then.

Even though the sword is in the hand

but to be able to let the will of heaven be accomplished (would be better).

Looks like the issues of the world, the black and white of things are not something people can guess.

Here

is the Zi Xian Hills, forgotten for hundreds of years.

Elder Ouyang

such a big castle

how should we find the Jade Ornament?

Since clan leader found out that there is a precious treasure in Zi Xian Hills with the bones arts,

I'm afraid we have to ask the people involved back then to know.

The people involved back then? It's been a few hundred years. What else can we find?

Here is filled with the aura of regrets.

There's quite a lot of lost souls trapped in here.

Since there is no one for these lost souls to talk to. What should we do?

Isn't Shao Gong's Zhu Long talisman could pull out a person's memory?

If we can pull out the memory of the souls of this place,

then we don't need them to open their mouths for us to find the whereabouts of the Jade Ornament.

We could do that. But to use the Zhu Long talisman it must aligned with heaven's time.

Right now is not the right time.

I'm afraid we have to wait a bit.

Since we have waited for this long, what is a few more days?

Then we will bother Shao Gong to find the whereabouts of the Jade Ornament for me.

Clan leader, don't worry.

Shao Gong will do my best.

Let's go.

Shao Gong, I felt this place is very scary.

Let's leave here quickly, okay?

Lei Yan won't let us go so easily without attaining his goal.

Does this place really has the Jade Ornament?

Could it be found by the Zhu Long talisman?

We can give it a try.

Just that I thought it is weird

how did Lei Yan knows that I have the Zhu Long talisman?

I was about to ask if you had this talisman with you this whole time.

That's right.

Who else knows that you have this talisman?

Only Su Jin, on Lei Yan's side.

Otherwise, only Jin Niang. But she is missing right now.

What about Aunt Tong? Does Aunt Tong knows about this?

She is old, could it be that she is a bit senile?

Could it be her, who leak out the information by accident?

Maybe.

Doctor,

how is Aunt Tong today?

The old lady is very weak.

Luckily the medicine she had before was very good/useful.

Her live is not in danger.

Then when will she wake?

Maybe she will wake in a few days.

Thank you doctor.

Doctor, please.

Lan sheng

Go pack your items.

Later, I will take Aunt Tong back to Qin Chuan to rest.

You go back with me.

I wont go back

Im asking you again, are you going to come with me or not?

What are you going to do? I don't want to go back

Okay, suit yourself

I can't control you anymre

But in the future, don't blame me.

Are you threatening me?

I don't care what you do, I'm not going back even if you kill me.

Fine. You've already been completely muddled by this fox demon.

You've even forgotten your own name

I have to help you take care of her.

What are you going to do to Xiang Ling?

Xiang Ling! Still want to run?

Hey!

Xiang Ling

Fox demon! I can refrain from destroying your cultivation pearl.

But you have to promise me never to appear before Tusu and Lan Sheng again

Why? I've never hurt anyone before

Xiang Ling Lan Sheng!

Are you ok?

Lan Sheng! Your mind has been muddled by this fox demon.

I have not She's never hurt anyone before

You haven't even gotten things clear yet and are already making a move. What kind of sword practicing people are you?

How can you say that? Senior brother is doing this for your own good.

What good?

Don't go! Don't go anymore!

Big brother Ling Yue. I've always respected you a lot.

How can you not get things clear before attacking Xiang Ling? She hasn't hurt anyone!

How are you still not repentant?

Don't blame Ling Yue. I was the one who asked him to come.

You've been completely captivated by that fox demon. I asked him to come capture it!

To avoid you from an unknown death.

She didn't seduce me! I was the willing one.

For a fox demon you are completely wiling? For a demon do you even not want your home anymore?

Don't think about the fox demon problem anymore. Come back to Qin Chuan with me and prepare to get married

Go

Sister! I won't get married! Even if I do I'll only marry Xiang Ling

You wished!

Sis, am I really your brother? Will you only be happy when you push me to the brink?

What nonsense are you talking about?

What nonsense have I said?

You guys almost killed Xiang Ling. What have she done?

Can you guy treat her like that just because she is a demon?

I'm telling you, I won't get marry! No one can force me!

You!

Young hero Ling

you see, Lan Sheng is like that.

I've thought it through.

If he wants to go with you. Then take him to Tian Yong City.

Whether he becomes an immortal or to seek the taoist way, as long as he is not with this fox demon.

According to Lan Sheng's personality. I don't think he is suitable to be in Tian Yong City.

Ru Qin, don't worry. He is not a heartless person.

Give him a little bit of time. When he has thought it though, he will go back with you.

Don't worry too much.

You saw what just happened.

How would he be willing to go back with me?

Xiang Ling!

Xiang Ling!

Xiang Ling!

Where are you? Where are you?

Xiang Ling!

Xiang Ling!

Xiang Ling!

Xiang Ling, where are you?

Hurry and come back!

Lan Sheng

Lan Sheng.

I won't go back to get marry.

I only want Xiang Ling!

Xiang Ling.

His high fever won't go down.

How can you become like this after getting wet from the rain?

Xiang Ling.

Lan Sheng, you finally awake.

Why is he still so hot? Here, take drink some medicine.

I won't drink.

No matter how upset you are with me drink the medicine first. Let's talk about it after your fever goes down, okay?

I know you are upset with me.

I shouldn't have slapped you.

I apologized to you, okay?

Sister

it's not a big deal that you hit me,

but you should not have hurt Xiang Ling.

The one that Xiang Ling likes is not me.

It's TuSu.

But just because she is liked by me.

she got mistreated by you guys.

You guys hurt her and chased her away.

Who apologize to her? Who has she harm? Who cared for her?

Lan Sheng, human and demons together is no usual.

It's not that I won't let you two be together. It is be cause you two cannot be together.

Stop being silly, okay?

I don't care.

The days without Xiang Ling, what hope is left?

Do you only live for that fox demon?

Then what will your family do?

I can't care so much anymore. Just let me die.

Once I die I can be a ghost, and be with Xiang Ling!

At that point none of you can hold me back!

Lan Sheng wants to become a ghost

But ghosts and demons can't be together

That's not my point. My point is that Lan Sheng...

Are you making fun of me now too?

I don't dare, it's just that

I can understand Lan Sheng's thoughts

Can understand? The one he likes it a demon!

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.
