Word of Honor (Tian Ya Ke / Faraway Wanderers / Shan He Ling / A Tale of the Wanderers / 山河令)

Twenty years ago,

when the evil Rong Xuan was killed at Mount Qingya

by the Five Lakes Alliance and other heroes,

he left behind

an armory that could let someone become invincible overnight.

In order to open the armory,

one must find the Glazed Armor.

Afterward, as a nursery rhyme spread,

many forces began

to secretly search for the Glazed Armor

in order to control the armory.

Prince Jin in the north

is also starting to make his move.

MILITARY GOVERNOR'S MANSION

-What happened? -Look.

Over there too!

Archers, get ready!

Shoot!

CHANGSHA PREFECTURE CHIEF NANNING PREFECTURE CHIEF

Prince Jin is secretly training assassins in the Window of Heaven

to kill the officials of the Court.

He has intentions to revolt.

OFFICER LI

SWORDSMAN IN GREEN

Master, the assassins are here.

Hurry and come with me!

JINGYI RESIDENCE

Who are you?

Hand over the confidential letter.

No way!

ZHOU ZISHU CHIEF OF THE WINDOW OF HEAVEN

Officer Zhou.

You...

you are from the Window of Heaven?

I'm here to see Officer Li off.

Zhou Zishu.

What you do to others will be inflicted on you later.

You are helping the bad guys.

The disaster in the future

begins today.

I die without regret.

Officer Li,

I'm sorry.

PRINCESS JING AN THE MILITARY GOVERNOR'S DAUGHTER

Zhou Zishu.

Princess Jing An.

This is...

The Military Governor conspired with corrupt officials

in an attempt to revolt.

He has been killed.

It's impossible.

It's impossible.

My father gave everything to the country!

It's a pity,

but his actions must be punished.

I came to visit today

to give you a choice.

I want to thank you for bringing back

my junior Qin Jiuxiao's body to me

in chaotic circumstances.

I will never forget your kindness.

Your Highness, you have a high status.

Committing suicide

will save you from humiliation.

Am I supposed to thank you?

You killed my entire family.

And you are letting me die with dignity.

Where did you

bury Jiuxiao?

Four Seasons Manor.

He was laid next to our master.

The flowers blossom in all four seasons,

knowing everything in the world.

QIN JIUXIAO YOUNG LORD OF FOUR SEASONS MANOR

It's so ugly.

Give it to me.

Give it to me!

You are so annoying.

Jiuxiao.

If you find a girl you like,

I will be happy for you.

He told me

that after he retired from his position,

he would

live with me there.

I...

Everything is taken care of.

Only a few stubborn generals

tried to resist.

I've killed them all.

Chief, Bi Changfeng made a huge mistake in the mission

to assassinate the Military Governor.

And he wants to leave the Window of Heaven.

It infuriated Prince Jin.

Prince Jin ordered you to deal with it in person.

Mr. Bi.

BI CHANGFENG GUARD OF THE WINDOW OF HEAVEN,

FORMER MEMBER OF FOUR SEASONS MANOR

My lord, you are here.

Mr. Bi.

Four Seasons Manor

only has you and me left.

Eighty-one of our brothers came to Jin with you.

Now, it's just you and me.

Even Jiuxiao is dead.

What Four Seasons Manor can there be?

Why haven't your wounds healed?

"Shadows without traces.

Entry without exit.

Know everything.

Be everywhere."

Prince Jin requested me

to accomplish these four things

when I created the Window of Heaven.

Once you enter

the Window of Heaven,

you can't leave.

You know that.

I know

that I can't walk out.

Can I not be carried out?

Even if I can only live freely for one day,

it's still better than being Prince Jin's dog.

You would rather become a cripple

than continue working for me?

Over the years, we have been through thick and thin.

I did everything you asked me to.

But our people from Four Seasons Manor were continuously persecuted.

So I began to question Prince Jin's intentions.

Now,

I really can't do it anymore.

Not to mention seven nails,

I'm willing to take a thousand cuts in order to quit!

I know you can't help it,

and I don't blame you.

If our relationship over the years

still matters to you,

please give me the nails.

That's true.

All I can do is send you off

with my own hands.

Don't worry.

I will take care of your family.

Whether it is worry

or relief,

I won't know about it.

My lord, please go ahead.

HAN YING COMMANDER OF THE WINDOW OF HEAVEN

DUAN PENGJU DEPUTY CHIEF OF THE WINDOW OF HEAVEN

Mr. Bi

is really a tough man.

No ordinary person

can endure the Nails of Seven Torments.

Mr. Zhang.

What are the Nails of Seven Torments?

Nails of Seven Torments,

death in three years.

Once you've taken the nails,

not only will you lose your martial arts skills,

but you'll also begin to lose your senses.

In the beginning, you can't speak.

Then you can't hear, smell, or see.

You'll turn into a vegetative state.

This is the only way

that you won't expose the secrets of the Window of Heaven.

Although you become a cripple,

you'll still remember what happened.

You'll live in torment for three years

before you actually get to die.

Why would anyone want to take it?

Isn't it better to just die?

Well.

Will they let you die so easily?

This is the rule of the Window of Heaven.

They scare you

so that you won't consider leaving.

If one day,

you don't want to stay here anymore,

pretend to accidentally fall

on your blade during the mission.

You'll die quickly without torment.

If you die during a mission,

our lord

will even take care of your family.

No, I dare not.

I will be loyal to the Window of Heaven

and our lord for the rest of my life.

What did you call me?

My lord.

No, Chief.

I'm sorry.

I thought the elders called you that.

The last person from Four Seasons Manor is gone.

Don't ever say

"my lord" again.

GUIYUN PAVILION

It has been ten years.

Ten years on this path of no return.

I remember each face of the people from Four Seasons Manor who died.

They're all dead.
