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

Episode 18

You can go now

I'm not going. Do you think you did the right thing tying me up?

What do you want?

I want this sister to be my wife

What are you joking about, Little Black Ball?

I'm not! I'm Hei Yao, not Little Black Ball!

And I'm serious

You caught me a fish which means you're good to me. Besides that, I like you

So I'd like you as my wife. Can't you?

I won't fall for a guy like you

Why? Don't tell me you like a guy like this 'log face'?

You humans never keep your promises

When did I break a promise?

When have I ever promised to marry you?

Being good to me indicates that you're going to marry me

Qing Xue will never go with you

Go now

Who are you to say that?

Who are you to Qing Xue?

Qing Xue, I'll come and look for you once I've learned some magical skills

Su Su, I just fed him once. I did not promise him anything

I know. Let's go

Let me out!

We're leaving, Lan Sheng! You must take care of yourself

Remember to listen to Sister Ru Qin, Yue Yan and Nanny Sun!

You...Are you my friends?

You disloyal friends! Now that you're easy and free,

you're dumping me here!

Hey! It's dangerous outside. We're just doing it for your own safety

I don't care! Let me out!

I don't want to get married!

I can't even step outside because of the two of you! Let me out!

Just stay there and be good to Yue Yan

I'd rather not!

Tusu, you log-face! Undo the enchantment now!

Only if Sister Ru Qin permits it

Are you joking?

Tu... Master Tusu...

Let me out, please

Bye

I wish you and Yue Yan have a blissful marriage and stay as a loving couple eternally! Bye!

Hey! Come back!

Let me out!

Fine! I'll leave even if you won't let me!

There's the smell of demons

Come out now or I'll force you out with my bell!

Why are you following us?

I...I know no one. Brother Tusu is the only one I know.

Where should I go if I don't follow him?

Besides, it really took me many years to find you

Please let take me along with you

You and Lan Sheng once stole my jade ornament

It almost stirred up the sword aura in Tusu's body

Why should we believe you?

I didn't mean any harm. I just wished to cure brother Tusu

Brother Tusu, you have to believe me

I understand. I don't blame you

In that case...you agree to take me with you?

You decide, Shao Gong

Forget it. Let her be as long as...

...she won't cause anymore trouble

Brother Shao Gong is really kind. Thank you very much!

Can we go now?

Luckily I had a secret tunnel ready for me to escape

They want to lock me up?

Miss Ru Qin, I've checked. The 3rd of next month is an auspicious day

That's what I want

Let them get married as soon as possible

No more delay

You're right but I'm worried young master Lan Sheng...

Don't worry about that

I've already locked him up

...and have Tusu cast an enchanment

Even if he has three heads and six arms,

he won't be able to escape

Miss Ru Qin is clever indeed

there's no way Lan Sheng could back out

My little brother has always been...

...a worry to me

Miss Ru Qin, your words got me thinking

What if young master Lan Sheng won't obey no matter what, what should we do?

He dares defy me? Even if I have to tie him all up,

I'll make sure he marries Yue Yan

Second sister is really heartless!

I'm not going to come back anymore!

Wait for me!

Wait for me, guys!

You want to leave me behind? Not so easy!

Don't even think of leaving me behind!

Xiao Lan, you..

I just tripped. No one even cares for me for a bit?

Hey!

Qing Xue, do you need me to help you prepare the meal?

I'll fan it for you

I'm sorry

What's wrong? Something bothering you?

I'm thinking about our Jiang Du trip

I wonder what will happen

Everything is pre-destined

Just do whatever is in your mind. Don't think too much

You don't used to be like this

I've been having recollections of the past lately

Recollections of the past? Have you recalled something?

It's exactly because I can't remember anything...

...that I'm at a loss now

A few days ago, Xiang Ling told me about how I once saved her at Red Leaf Lake

But I can't remember a thing

It must have been some kind of bitter tribulation you encountered...

...that hinders you from remembering the past

When I was in the illusion at Lu An Village,

I saw all the Wu Meng Valley folks being killed

It feels as if I was there

I wonder if it's real or just illusions

I think that...

Since the Masked Man is behind the An Lu Village incident

it must be related to your past

If you want to uncover the truth, you must find first, find the Masked Men

I also believe that the massacre of my folks

is connected to the Masked Men

Although teacher never talked to me about Wu Meng Valley,

I know a little about...

...the fact that my mother and my clan have all died

I want to avenge them,

yet I have no idea who is the murderer

It could be them

And Zhao Lin's murder

It could be their doing as well

Perhaps we will be able to catch him in this trip to Jiang Du

What's meant to happen will happen. Don't be too uptight over it

Once we arrived at Jiang Du,

we can ask for Jin Niang's help. Perhaps she'll have a clue

Qing Xue, what are you roasting? Is it done yet?

I'm famished!

I guess it's done. You can eat it

Be careful, it's hot

This..

What is this?

Insects

Are insects even edible?

They are delicious! I always eat these. Try them!

Never mind, never mind. An ordinary man like me...

...can't eat these. You can have it.

Coward!

Why am I so pitiful?

Don't tell me I'll be starved to death at this god-forsaken place...

...before I reach Jiang Du

Coward!

Why so fierce, you fat chicken?

I'm not even talking about you!

Brother Tusu!

Xiang Ling! So you're here too!

That's great! I have company now!

Do you have anything to eat? I'm hungry

I...You...you can have this

Here you are. It's sweet

Xiang Ling treats me best!

I gave me this just when I'm very very very hungry

Don't think too much. I'm merely taking pity on you

I'm only like this when it's you

It's cooked, Su Su. Try it

Brother Tusu, I have some fruits. They are big and sweet. Do you want some? I have lots here.

- Here you are. There's more. -Try it!

Eat these, eat these. They taste really good!

Why does everyone like him?

Don' t tell me 'log face' is more favourable than my looks these days?

Why is this so sour?

- See how lively it is over there, Su Su! So many things that can't be found in Qin Chuan! -It's a buzzing place indeed!

Food! Find a place with nice food!

Let's go and eat, Xiang Ling

Eat, eat, eat! All you know is to eat!

Do you know where is Hua Man Lou, sir?

Let's stop and grab something to eat, Xiang Ling

What would you like to eat?

Eat this

This again? I don't want

As you like

Both of you young people wish to go to a brothel?

-The moral values of the society is really degenerating. -What's a brothel?

A brothel is a place men can go...

...but not women

-Have you been there? -Of course not!

I'm an educated man! Of course I couldn't have visited such a place

I learn all these from books

What kind of a place is it, Su Su? Why shouldn't women go there?

I have no idea too

Let's go together then

We don't have to go now

All of us are already worn out from the journey. We'll take a rest somewhere

Tusu shall come with me to meet Jin Niang

The rest of you take a rest here

Why can't I go?

-I want to go too! -Me too. I want to be with brother Tusu

It's not that you can't come along

- It's just incovenient - Isn't that Jin Niang good at fortune telling?

I'd like to ask her about my brother's whereabouts

I'd like Jin Niang to help me find my mother too

- But it's a brothel - What's that?

No matter what, sister Qing Xue and I are coming along

Look at that! Both of these ladies are going
