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

Episode 6

Just like that?

The Datura flowers from the opposite bank of Youdu's Lethean waters

They will look for the Datura Pollen,

as long as the thief has Datura Pollen on them we'll probably be able to find them.

Besides Youdu, where else can you find Datura Pollen?

In the South and the West,

As long as there's a dark place, Datura Flowers will grow.

Therefore, depending only on the Datura Pollen will not identify the thief.

Senior Brother!

Senior brother, the villagers down the mountain ask for our help. A monster was spotted in An Lu Village

Three families were killed in one night, the Head Reverend is currently waiting for you.

Senior Brother, hurry and go, I'll stay here and wait for the Spirit Butterfly.

Alright

Head Reverend ordered me to bring you downhill to protect the villagers.

Hurry and go prepare.

Yes Sir.

Ling Duan!

Come with us downhill.

Senior Brother,

you aren't asking me to go together, are you?

Why, you don't want to come?

It's not I don't want to,

but I've just consumed some of my energy and cultivations not long ago

Zhao Lin and Ling Chuan knew about this too

Moreover,

You can't even deal with the Masked Person,

don't even mention me.

All you know is to idle your days away without practicing your sword skills

You stay in your room all day long

What else could have affected your cultivations and skills?

Senior Brother, Second Senior Brother isn't wrong,

He did lose most of his energy...

...helping us getting rid of the evil spirit

Let me go instead,

No.

If this matter...

...has to do with the masked man, then you'll be in danger

That's exactly why I should be the one responsible for it

Senior Brother, allow me to go with Tu Su Brother together.

The Masked Man clearly came after us the last time

If he killed the villagers is to lure us out,

he'll appear if we were to go there

That's right, senior brother!

If not because both of them...

left the mountain without permission,

all these wouldn't have happened

Let us be the bait while you lie in wait nearby

Perhaps we could lure him out this way

Senior brother! Senior brother!

Senior brother, Qing Xue discovered something. She wants you over

Could it be a diversion?

Senior brother, you attend to Tian Yong City

Shaogong and I will go down the mountain

Let's make it that way then

If you spot the Masked Man,

do not act impulsively

Once I'm done here, I will join both of you immediately

Be vigilant -Yes

Let's go take a look

Found anything? -No

We'll split up and continue the search. -Okay

Let's go

Let's take a look there

Let's go

Found anything?

It doesn't look like the result of any poison

There's sticky substance on the wounds

It's really strange

Could it be that some kind of creatures swallowed them and then threw up?

It's possible

So it's true that there are monsters around?

The other night Ah Xing said that...

he saw lots of big lanterns outside the lavatory

In the blink of an eye,

all the lanterns were gone

What to do now?

Have we become the target of the monster?

Do not be afraid

Since it's at the foot of Tian Yong City,

we won't let the monster bring harm to the village

That's good

There is a scent of Datura Pollen on this,

the Masked Man should be nearby.

There is no other road here,

This must have been brought here when the Masked Man cleans his wound upstream

We'll walk up along the bank

Where is the source of this stream?

The back of Tian Yong City

Tian Du Peak is at the front

Let's go

We've searched for hours

There's nothing suspicious in and out of the village

Could it be that the Masked Man has already fled knowing we'll be on guard here?

It feels odd to me

What do you think are the lanterns?

Perhaps they are...

Could it be glowing eyes?

Whatever it is,

we shall stay here tonight

I'd like to know what kind of monster it is

What's wrong? Are you worried the monster might be strong?

It's not that

I'm thinking if you should go back first

Report our deductions to Senior Brother

Besides, you shouldn't be away from the Sword of Burning Solitude for long

After all, you're inseparable from the forces of the sword

That's why the Masked Man could hunt you down

I'm not afraid of the Masked Man

I only fear of not being able to control the forces of the sword

As long as I remember,

it has been torturing me ceaselessly

Teacher has to isolate himself for recuperation because of me

Senior Brother is always on his toes,

wasting too much of his time...

...on me.

Sometimes I wonder,

why can't I be an ordinary man?

Look at those villagers

All of them think highly of immortals

...because immortals are extraordinary

...and different from them

In those days when I learn swords skills in Tian Yong City,

my only wish...

..is to be an ordinary man like the villagers

Tusu, keep your head up

The Sword of Burning Solitude may have weighed you down

but if you think it another way, it is also yours to exploit

The more you repulse it,

the more you're entrapped within your own negative thoughts

Accept everything without rancour is the first step against it

Do not let your worst dream have control over you

You are the one in control of everything

I'm in control of it?

Where there is a will, there is a way. I'm sure you'll be able to get rid of the sword force on you one day

Shaogong! Let me handle it. You stay here to protect the villagers

Where is this?

Let's go get him

Why are you so reckless?

Do you have any idea your responsibility over our entire clan?

Come back!

Why does mother dislike me so much?

My name's Han Yunxi, not "Xiuning's son"!

You're Han Yunxi?

What are you? Reveal yourself!

Shaogong!

Han Yunxi! No one can protect you this time!

Don't move! Get me the Sword of Burning Solitude!

A quarter-hour's delay and I'll cut off an arm

If you refuse, he will die

Don't listen to him, Tusu!

Don't give him the Sword of Burning Solitude!

You want to fend for him? You can't even save your own neck!

Shaogong!

Tusu! Run!

Don't give him the Sword of Burning Solitude! Don't!

Shaogong!

Tusu! Tusu!

What's wrong with Ah Xiang?

Could something have happened to Senior Tusu?

Looks like the Masked Man has left

I still have some issues to settle

You can go back and take care of your Granny

Tusu

Give me the Sword of Burning Solitude

Give me the sword

No. Please calm down, Tusu

I want revenge!

Can't get in. What now?

Senior brother

Where's Tusu?

No idea. Shaogong and he are both not in sight anywhere

This enchantment suddenly appeared. No one could get in

We have evacuated the villagers from this place

Step aside

Where are Tusu and Shaogong?

Release them!

You're here at the right time

You'll see in a moment what your junior brother has turned into!

Sword and body, merged!

Tusu!

Tusu!

Tusu...

Well done, Baili Tusu

All my effort and plan are not in vain

You finally got me the Sword of Burning Solitude

Tusu!

Wake up... wake up!

Tu Su...

Tu Su!

Tu Su...

Master!

Master...

Master.

go invite the Head Reverend here.

Yes sir.

I have personally gone to An Lu Village to investigate.

But, as I discovered, in one night,

all the masked peopled have disappeared,

the only thing that was left was the mark of magic being used.
