Legend of the Ancient Sword (Swords of Legends / Gu Jian Qi Tan / 古剑奇谭)

Episode 8

Junior Tusu, I heard that you have trained in the back of the mountain for three years

and had learned directly from Reverend Ziyin.

Your skills must have improved tremendously.

Come, exchange some pointers with me.

Why? You're looking down on me?

Freak.

He's really a freak.

Junior Brothers, are you alright? -Yes.

Baili Tusu...

I will destroy you one day.

Attack me.

You are just a freak!

Get out of Tian Yong City!

Mother!

Baili Tusu,

do you think you can stop me?

Just give up.

You can never break away from my control.

I must destroy you.

If you destroy me,

you will destroy yourself too.

Tusu, what are you doing?

I don't want to be controlled by the Sword of Burning Solitude.

I want to destroy it.

No, you can't do that! Do you know that you will die?

I don't care.

You...

Tusu!

Tusu...

You have been locked up for three years

and yet there's no improvement at all.

Have you forgotten what your senior brother and your teacher have said?

I don't want to be controlled by the sword.

I don't want to be a freak!

For the past three years,

I have been thinking.

When I'm released,

perhaps I could destroy the Sword of Burning Solitude.

I want to give it a try.

Even I have to lose all my skills

and become a useless person,

I don't want to be a freak.

Are you a fool?

If the cauldron can really destroy the sword,

why would your teacher spend so much effort?

You cannot be separated from the Sword of Burning Solitude.

If you burn it, you would be burning yourself.

For the sake of your teacher, you should treasure your own life.

Don't ever do this again.

Lingyue has begged

the Head Reverend for your release.

You cannot tell anyone else about this matter.

You are really muddleheaded.

You must be punished.

Tusu.

Go immediately to the Scripture Chamber and copy scriptures for ten days

to cleanse your mind. See what is written in the scriptures.

If you still cannot reconcile...

Fine then.

You can go back to the Forbidden Ground.

Understand?

Come everyone, listen to me.

Something big is going to happen in Tian Yong City.

The Head Reverend is going to marry Fuqu to Tusu.

You must be kidding. Tian Yong City is a place to cultivate immortality.

Can we even marry?

Junior Brother,

someone like Reverend Ziyin who has attained immortality

need not marry, of course.

But Fuqu is still young.

Do you think the Head Reverend will bear to let his daughter

remain single in Tian Yong City for her whole life?

Let me tell you this too.

In a few more years, Tusu will become the next leader.

Nonsense!

Head Reverend.

What are you all saying? A bunch of nonsense!

Zhao Lin, stop right there.

Let me ask you. Where did you hear all those rumors from?

Please don't be angry, Head Reverend.

Don't be angry? I think you are creating trouble out of nothing!

Fine. You want to be punished, right?

From today, you shall transcribe books at the Scripture Repository for a month!

Yes.

You..why are you here?

You're punished also?

Who punished you?

I'm telling you

I don't have anything to do with what you heard.

I don't care what you heard

If you dare mess with me here, I will yell!

Is it really that precious that I can't even touch?

I'm afraid that it might injure you.

Hey, wooden face

I don't understand how you managed to stay at Tian Yong City for all those years.

Everyone doesn't like you

If I were you, I would have left

Tian Yong City is my home

But I don't think everyone here regards you as...

Ah forget it.

Reverend Zi Yin is my teacher

He who teaches me for one day is my father for life

As long as he and senior brother are here, this is my home

Actually, Senior brother Ling Duan doesn't really have any grudges with you

Why don't you apologize to him?

I didn't do anything wrong, why should I apologize?

About the Gu Hu Niao incident...

I already know.

You...

It's because you and Lin Duan released it.

Ling Duan fled but you were worried someone might get hurt,

so you risked being discovered and turned back to save me

Junior brother, you're actually not a bad guy

I won't take it to heart.

Don't mention it again.

It's not because of you, it's because of Ching Xue.

You still remember Ching Xue right?

Fu Qi said

Ching Xue came to Ting Yong City because of you.

Don't know if Ching Xue still remembers me

I believe that Ching Xue will return to Ting Yong City.

At that time, learn how to control the evil aura.

If Reverend haven't saved you last time, you would've become a monster.

I will control it.

It won't happen again. Don't be afraid.

You're a bit strange

and Senior brother Ling Duan has a bad temper

so why?

I have a bad temper.

Don't blame me for telling the truth. You know what they say behind your back?

Said you're a monster.

But I think you're okay, just that people don't know you.

You should converse with them more.

Can't mingle with them.

I'm afraid I'll hurt you guys.

Indeed if it wasn't for that sword,

we would probably be friends.

Don't tell brother Ling Duan I said this.

You think that's possible?

Grandma, it's good to come out and take a walk

Don't always overtax yourself at the shrine

It is better to be more relaxed.

It's doesn't matter anymore

This old body cannot do much anymore

After being hurt twice by the Burning,

I will soon or later cross the river of death.

Grandma, don't speak like that.

Ching Xue, I'm worried.

These recent days, the fire's intensity from the Burning is constantly changing.

Not sure what happened at Ting Yong City.

Grandma, if you're so worried, want me to drop by Ting Yong City to take a look?

You silly child

You want to take this chance to fool around outside

You think I don't know what you're thinking?

I'm just worried about you.

Grandma knows

These three years you've helped me with the matters of You Du.

You're already not a child.

You know

The elders all say you're smart and able.

However, you going to the Human World

worries me.

Grandma, I know it's because of older brother.

He never returned so you're worried

but I won't

Moreover, I'm also responsible in safegaurding the Sword of Burning Solitude

I have been practicing hard in these past few years to improve my magical skills

If I have any doubts, I'll send you a message through the Water Mirror, alright?

Then when do you plan on leaving?

Oh, you consent for me to go?

Thank you Grandma.

Grandma, Ting Yong City's Ling Yue asked for you.

Senior brother?

You went to Tian Yong City because of this?

Three years ago,

you kept it from me the fact that Yunxi is Tusu

You're here today because of Tusu

I don't know what's the goal of You Dau.

Don't want anything to happen to Tusu.

This time I came to find you because I want you to drop by Ting Yong City.

Meet with Tusu.

Ling Yue brother, these past few years

I studied numerous You Du's magical practices

Perhaps I could help suppress the forces in Yunxi's body

But i just ask one thing

but i can succeed in suppressing the evil aura

I want to bring Tusu and the sword to You Duo.

No, Master already decided

Tusu cannot leave Ting Yong City, there's nothing I can do about it.

Then I will not leave You Duo.

Granny didn't meet me so I'll leave this matter to you

You're right, since I'm You Du's guardian

Ling Yue brother, I won't harm Tusu.

I didn't in the past and I definitely won't now.

If you don't believe me then noone else will.

Qing Xue

Finally caught you.

Can't be controlled by the evil aura. Can't disappoint Senior Brother.

Zhao Lin, Zhao Lin!
