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

Opening Song: Heart of the Sword By Zhang Jie

Episode 2

Be careful, senior brother

I'm fine.

You are so skilled.

I can teach you if you want to learn.

Yes.

Learn the Sword Riding Skill if you want to fly

Muster your breath to control the sword

Tusu...

what's wrong?

Teacher!

Teacher!

Tusu...

You think you can save him?!

Nonsense!

He is mine.

Baili Tusu!

Teacher...

Tusu...

remember why I gave you this name.

Do not succumb to the Sword of Burning Solitude!

Break!

Tusu!

Tusu.

Teacher..

Come, Tusu.

I thought it was sealed.

Why is he still under the sword's control?

Tusu could not use his Qi for sword riding

The more he practices, the stronger the evil force in him

The sword becomes stronger as he weakens

Master,

I'll get the Head Reverend right away

Do not let him know

Hongyu,

I'm going on a retreat soon

During this time, you'll be in charge of the Sword of Burning Solitude

There must not be any mistakes

I understand.

I've temporarily concealed the red scar between Tusu's eyebrows

...so as to avoid any misgivings about him

But as he grows up, the seal will weaken.

I will come out for a month every three years

to reinforce the seal.

Tell Lingyue

Do not let Tusu ride a sword

And don't tell Tusu the reason I was injured.

Yes.

The Sword of Burning Solitude possesses centuries of evil forces

It could easily invoke one's hatred

I hope that Tusu could be free from resentment

Always preserving his good nature...

Teacher!

Tusu!

Senior brother,

Teacher was injured because of me, right?

It has nothing to do with you.

Then why didn't he want to see me?

Teacher!

Teacher is on a recuperation retreat. He's abstained from the five sensous consciousness

He can't see or hear anything.

It's useless for you to call him.

Tusu, it's not your fault.

Only by working hard to suppress Burning Solitude's control over you can put our teacher's mind at ease

Here, take it.

Senior brother,

why do we practice sword skills?

Because then we can protect the ones we care about.

Tusu, from now on you are to practice in the back of the mountain.

I will teach you swordsmanship and magic arts on behalf of teacher

Another thing. Teacher said you are not to practice with the other fellow disciples

I wonder how is Yunxi doing?

Senior brother, is Teacher really coming out from his retreat today?

Yes, Teacher will be out soon. Just wait a bit more.

I really miss him.

He's out.

Teacher!

Tusu...

Senior Fuqu,

How many times did I tell you not to address me as Senior?

Sounds so old

Take it.

I'm your senior sister

Senior sister...

You're so fat, Ah Xiang!

Junior Tusu

What do you want?

What did junior sister gave you?

Let me see

It's none of your business.

You fat chicken!

Let's go, Ah Xiang

You alright, second senior brother?

This fat chicken...

I will kill it one day!

Your meal's ready, senior brother

I'm practicing breatharianism

It hasn't been 49 days yet

Are you trying to torture me by bringing me food?

You haven't eaten for days. Do eat some.

How can I attain immortality if I don't even have the determination?

Even so, you need to eat

Take it away.

You're really not going to eat it?

I want to, but I can't.

Fine, I'll take them away.

Put it down.

Told you not to receive anything from Fuqu

Take it back.

Appreciate a giver's goodwill even if the gift is small

Didn't senior brother teach me that?

Fuqu is being nice to you by giving you this

Why do you reject?

Sword and spiritual practicing is more important

Such exchange of gifts in private, if known by other fellow disciples,

would have aroused tittle-tattles

Teacher will be back from his meditation retreat in a year

He'll be disappointed if I don't work hard

Besides, if I don't improve my skills,

how am I supposed to assist teacher in suppressing the evil force in your body?

Tell me,

do I have the time to spare a thought on other things?

Take it back

What happened?

He doesn't want it.

Can't you force him to accept it?

He's my senior, I follow his orders

I'm your senior too. Why don't you follow my orders then? Go try again

Go!

He won't accept

You do it if you want him to accept your gift

Baili Tusu! Come back here!

Baili Tusu, come back!

Junior sister

Did Tusu bully you?

Move!

Junior sister!

What's so good about Baili Tusu?

Forget about senior brother, now even Fuqu sides with him

Exactly! He's as cold as ice

I wonder what Reverend Ziyin's thinking, taking him in as his student

Second senior brother weren't even accepted

Who wants to be Reverend Ziyin's student?

I'm the student of Head Reverend!

Tianyong City's second disciple!

I have to think of a plan

to teach that boy a lesson,

or I won't be able to vent my anger

Calm down, second senior brother

Personal fights are forbidden in Tianyong City. You could be expelled for picking a fight

I know the rules

I'm thinking how to

force him to make the first move.

Second senior brother,

you can make use of his fat chicken

If he dares to fight back, we can all gang up on him

and turn him over to Head Reverend

But how do I lay my hands on that fat chicken?

Got it!

Zhaolin, go get some streaky bacon from the kitchen

Streaky bacon?

Go now.

Yes.

Tusu, just you wait.

Ah Xiang?

Is the water boiling yet?

Yes.

Good.

You dare bite me,

damn fat bird.

I'll butcher you... and pluck your feathers!

Zhou Lin.

Get ready to do it. - Alright.

Stop!

Tusu? You...

Good timing

We caught a really fat bird!

Let's eat it together.

Tusu, you..

Hurry and leave, Ah Xiang

Head Reverend

Tusu started it

We didn't fight back.

Tusu's gone too far

He let that bird hurt other people.

Look.

It wasn't like that.

He started it.

There's evidence and witnesses. How dare you say otherwise?

Head Reverend, we saw it too.

Tusu started it.

Head Reverend, Tusu has always followed the sect rules.

He won't start a fight without reasons.

Senior brother, you shouldn't cover up for Tusu just because he's your direct junior apprentice

No matter what,

Tusu has violated our sect rules,

and caused a fight. According to the sect rules--

He should be kicked out of Tianyong City!
