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

Episode 7

The world has many troubles

Hardship and loneliness of life and death

How high can one fly

How far until dawn?

Suffering in illusions

Yunxi!...Yunxi!

Han Yunxi!

I'm waiting for you to embrace me

Han Yunxi.

Feng Qingxue.

Sadness doesn't speak

and my tears have evaporated But that's alright

Let the rain wash down

the memories of sand

So I can be carefree

and wander to the horizon

Despite the time dying your hair white

and the years scratching my cheek

the myth of the sword unsheathing

blood during germination

Is it because I practised it incorrectly?

This should be a spell to control the evil aura...

Hey!

Han Yunxi is the one who's being locked up in Tian Yong City, not you.

Since you came back from Tian Yong City, you are like a changed person.

Every single day, you will either practice spells or learn the secret arts of Youdu.

It has been three years!

You haven't gave up yet?

Hey!

But I've already found the spell to control the evil aura.

I believe that if I practice hard, I will surely...

Back then, so many Elders

and Granny cannot purge him of evil aura from the Sword of Burning Solitude, even with Reverend Ziyin's help.

Now, there's only you.

No matter how much you practice, it's useless.

But I won't know unless I learn it.

So long I can help him get rid of the evil aura,

I will be able to go see Yunxi.

I cannot wait for too long.

Qingxue, can you please wake up?

Brother Guangmo is no longer here.

You are our guardian, the future leader of Youdu.

You cannot just think about Han Yunxi!

I know my duties.

I am very sober too.

I will be a good guardian.

But I want to help Yunxi get rid of the evil aura first.

He will be able to...

What if it cannot be gotten rid of?

What if he was controlled by the Sword of Burning Solitude?

What if he dies?

That's why I need to practice harder.

Huanhuan, you didn't see him so you don't know.

When I saw him again,

although he became quite different from when he was young,

neither smiling nor talking a lot,

nor did he recognize me,

he still risked his life to save me.

How would such a kind person like him be controlled by the Sword of Burning Solitude?

Alright, don't disturb me.

Alright, alright. You just continue.

Keep elements as one

Absorb the pure air

Surpress the evil aura

What happened?

You wounded yourself to suppress the evil aura again?

Sister Hong searched the world o help me find this spiritual iron

According to what master said

the is the scabbard that was made out of pure yang fire

This could help you control the sword

and it will isolate the sword from the world,

so others will not detect it easily.

Try it out

Senior brother, I...

Try it out.

Head Reverend

Tusu has been locked up for three years already

During the three years

he has been quietly practicing

He can control himself

and not get controlled by the sword

The scabbard could also help him stop the evil aura

Master is almost coming out

Ling Yue dares to ask you

if you can let him out

Yes Dad, didn't you say you were only locking him for three years?

Now it's time

why aren't you letting him out?

Fuqu, don't interupt

It's not your problem

Dad

How old is Tusu?

He's just my age

Usually at this age he should be learning with other disciples

But look at him how

there's not even anyone to talk to

I went to see him last night

He is quiet

and almost looks as if he can't talk

He is still young

It's not good for his cultivation

When he gets out, I will watch him

If anything happens, i will send him back

Yes Dad, just let him out

I will watch him with Senior Brother

Telling me to lock him up is you guys

now asking me to let him out are you guys too

This matter has to get solved either way

I was thinking about waiting until your master comes out

and then talking about it with him

But since you are asked

then fine,

let him out of there

Thank you Head Reverend

Wait

Regarding this situation you have to promise me three things.

Please tell me what it is.

First

You have to take care of Tusu

Secondly

do not stir up more troubles with his fellow brothers.

And thirdly

If anything happens to Tusu, bring him back immediately

Yes.

Fuqu personally cooked for you...

...in order to welcome you back

You're in luck

2nd Senior Brother

Tusu has completed him solitude training

He's the same as the other students here

When did they release this monster out

Tusu, you returned.

Has it been hard for you?

My dad didn't allow anyone else but Senior brother to visit you

or else I would have visited you earlier

I really missed you.

That cheap mongrel

Look at that freak, second senior brother

What's with that attitude when Fuqu's so good to him?

You've lost weight, Tusu

These are the dishes I've made. Try it.

My sword skills have improved a lot these pass few years

In addition to that, I've also learned cooking

Aren't I virtuous?

Virtuous indeed

Sister, seems like you shouldn't sword train anymore

Just be a cook

So what if I like to be a cook? So what if...

I like cooking for Tusu

What about it? Jealous?

Then you can go out and sword train

It should be time for lessons with everyone else at this hour

Do not let the Reverend wait

Yes, Senior brother. Let's go.

Let's go sword training.

Let's go...

Tusu, don't mind him.

Just go on and eat, okay.

How long have you not eaten fully.

Eat slowly.

If it's not enough, I can make more.

Senior brother, taste this.

Okay, thank you.

I just couldn't believe they'd let that creature out so early.

What's strange?

He has Reverend Ziyin and senior brother's support

What can the Head Reverend do to him?

Besides, Fuqu is also siding with him

Fu Qu?

What about Fu Qi?

Second brother don't know?

What am I supposed to know?

I misheard Elder of Literary Arts talking about...

...marrying Fuqu to the next head of school

You made that up, didn't you?

How could people who cultivate immortality get married?

Not everyone among the hundreds of students in Tian Yong City are cultivating immortality

There are also some learners of sword arts and martial arts

Didn't the fifth disciple of the Elder of Discipline...

...just got a wife and has a child not long ago?

That's true

So whoever gets Fu Qu will be the next head of school?

That's for sure!

You didn't see that?

Sister Fu Qu has been learning culinary and needlework lately

I bet she's expecting to get married soon

Tusu? No way

What has he got to be the head of school?

He's way behind our second senior brother

Aren't I right, second brother?

That's right! He's not even good enough for Fu Qu

Could it be that Fu Qu likes Tusu?

That's why Tusu was released after Fu Qu pleaded with Head Reverend

It's possible.

I also heard that Tusu's confinement is an act of favouritism by Reverend Ziyin

...so that Tusu could learn the secret sword skills of our sect

That's why it has taken him three years

Three years?

Once he mastered those secret skills,
