Legend of the Ancient Sword (Gu Jian Qi Tan)

Episode 40

Shao Gong.

I thought Qian Shang won't drink wine with me again.

There is something that I've always wanted to ask you.

Go head and say it.

Five years ago, you've saved me. The medicine you used to saved me also came from this?

What does Qian Shang thinks?

What medicine in this world does not come stained with blood?

However, when it comes to life and death, are you going to give up and not take the medicine?

That you can say so is quite meaningful

You are saying that all of us live while stepping on a bloody ocean?

Since it is, then we don't we cherish now

so that we don't waste the effort of those who lost their lives because of this.

That's correct.

To be honest, after I left that day, I thought through a lot

Let's hear it

Nothing much really. I wanted to drink, to go places, I thought a lot of things

Only now do I realize, what right do I have to judge what Shao Gong does?

Without your experimental medicine and making medicine, where would my life saving medicine have come from?

What good would a solemn or somber face do?

But until now I still don't think you're right. Never thought that until now you still can't speak of your medicine's origins.

If Qian Shang agrees to this practice, then you won't be Qian Shang.

Shao gong, why did you take me to see the secret room that day?

If I don't think I've done wrong, why should I keep it from you?

If you can't let it get past you,

you don't have to associate with me anymore

Even if you weren't the same as the Shao Gong I knew,

even if we can't mark clearly the line between black and white,

We are still friends

I am I, Shao Gong is Shao Gong

After I thought that through, I thought I still had to come have a drink with you

Now that's what Qian Xiang should say

Today we won't talk about those things. Come, today we'll drink happily.

Okay!

Greetings Elder

What is it?

The villagers have heard you returned, so they have come to ask you for celestial medicine

Just take some pills and tell them it's Qing Gu pills. No need to explain to them.

-What else is there? -There is something your disciple doesn't understand

-Please explain Elder -Say it

Ever since four years ago when Elder Ouyang gave them medicine, they became quite greedy

Every year they come asking for celestial medicine. I'm just wondering why Elder

Why do you still need to go to Ling Hui.

Qing Gu pill is to get rid of the dirty things in the bones

to balance the yin and yang in the body.

It's a medicine I personally made that year

The dirty things in the bones are poisonous

The method of Qing Gu pill is to use poison against poison.

If taken in large amounts, not only will it get of all the dirty things in the body, but it could also strengthen the body.

But the medicine is 30% poisonous, If the body is not sick, what is the difference continuous usage and swallowing poison?

Back then when I gave the Qing Gu pill to those villagers to cure their illness

My initial intend was good.

I never thought that after they were cured

they discover the goods that Qing Gu pill brought to them.

They thought that they have reach paradise.

So all they want was to beg for this celestial pill.

They even thought that from now on they will live forever without getting old.

People are infinitely greedy once they've taste the good.

Forget it.

Since this is what they asked for

Then I will try my best to satisfy them.

I will give them as much as they want.

So, let them take their last one.

Yes.

There is no end to greed

It is their own doing when they lost their lives.

Deep in the human world is hell

Let them learn for it themselvers

Who else can they blame?

Shao Gong.

I found a disciple who has taken the Meng Hun Zhi in the back hills.

Did you brought the things from the secret hideout to Qing Yun Tan too?

I made the Meng Hun Zhi seed into pills.

I guess that disciple was curious and thought it was some special drugs.

Stole and ate some. -This disciple's sin is serious enough for death.

Is Shao Gong not going to save him?

This is the fruit of his own evil doing. I can't do anything about it.

Seems like you have changed sine you came back from Qin Shi Royal tomb.

I only saw that Emperor Qin Shi had spent his entire life in search for the elixir of life and yet couldn't find it.

Sudden I understand something. -In the past, it has always been you who counsel me.

Now I'm going to advise you. The thing about resurrection from death to life is against the will of the heavens.

You should not be so stubborn. Let go of the things that should be let go.

Qian Shang is sounding more and more like Aunt Tong.

Oh right, have you any news of the whereabouts of Jin Niang?

I have searched the entire Qing Yun Tan. I've even searched Lei Yan's relics.

There is nothing that is related to Jin Niang.

It seems likes she has disappeared.

She did not return to Qing Yun Tan.

After Lei Yan's death, most of the people has left Qing Yun Tan.

Within the remaining disciples,

-Don't know which disciple is the closest to Lei Yen -Yuan Wu?

Yuan Wu definitely will know

Have you thought through it already? Where did Jin Niang go?

I'll say it(x2)

Actually...actually Xun Fang really is

Really is Jin Niang

We've already walked for a long time

It looks like there hasn't been anyone here for a long time

Susu? What's wrong?

I feel like this place is very familiar

I should have seen it before

I can be sure that this place is Mt. Yao

It's the same as in my dream

When was this dream? I never heard you talk about it

It's a reoccurring dream that I often have.

In that dream, there was a human and a water serpent

This human was always playing the lyre. And that water serpent,

was listening by the side

They say what you think of during the day becomes dreams at night

But why would you dream of something that has nothing to do with you?

I also don't know

It's just that in the dream, I heard their conversation

The one who played the lyre,

was a celestial being. His name was Tai Zi Qiang Qing.

And that water serpent, was named Qian Yu

But the Mt. Yao in my dream was not the same as it is now

The Yao Shan at that time is bright and the water is calm. It was full of spiritual energy.

It was like a paradise.

Susu!(x2)

Look! Isn't that Yue Ling Flower?

Correct! That's the Yue Ling flower Shao Gong was talking about

There's only one blossom in Mt. Yao!

-I'll go get it -Don't go, let me get it

You were just using the Sword of Burning Solitude to fly, now your chi hasn't yet stabilized

Let me do it

Then be careful

Subtitles brought to you by the Ancient Sword Team @Viki

Great! I got it!

We can go back now

Who are you?

Why is it that I sense my friend's aura on you?

Don't worry

Your friend is not in danger

I only enchanted her a little bit causing to fall asleep.

You

I've seen you before

Qian Yu

You're Qian Yu?

I am indeed Qian Yu

And you, are no longer Tai Zi Qiang Qing

In the blink of an eye, the you of the past is no longer you

What are you talking about? I'm not Tai Zi Qiang Qing

This sword is full of my best friend's aura

This aura cannot be wrong.

Old Friend? -The sword you carry

Has already become one with your body

It is the celestial spirit of Crowned Prince Zhang Qin.

You actually did not know?

I don't know

I just once dreamt of Mt. Yao

There was a celestial being playing music

But I don't know why

It's a long story

The song you played sounds very nice

What's the name?

It was a casual composition according to my feelings by the beauty of the mountain.

I haven't yet named this piece

Why don't we name it Mt. Yao?

Mt. Yao?

-Do you have a name? -I do!

Other demons aren't allowed a name. Only I gave myself one

-It's Qian Yu -Qian Yu?

Qiang Qing, this Mt. Yao has so many demons

But it is hard to find one that is as cool as me!

Does that mean that one day I can cultivate myself into a full demon?

If your cultivation isn't that high, your boasting of course isn't low

The king dragon Zhong Gu was also a demon.

If he can succeed, than so can I.

Zhong Gu is son of Dragon Ju. How can this be the same?

Even if when other officials see him, they have to pay respect to him.

In my opinion whether or not you can become a dragon or not that big of deal.

But if you become a horn dragon, you can fly in the sky and enjoy the freedom.

You understand me best

I don't want to spend my whole life being a petty demonic spirit

I think if I just count on myself I probably can't even leave here

One day, I will become a flying dragon!

Then, I can go wherever I want!

Not restricted by limitation.

Your goal is highly moving and not calm.

If you were to stay for your whole life here, it would be boring indeed

It's not boring. It's bored to death!

Zhang Qin, tell me the stories about the gods!

I've heard that they are extremely powerful. They could hold fate in their own hands.

They can become whatever they want! Is that right?

I have never heard about the arts of changing fate.

The girl from the Sky river banks has once told me

All the living things in the world from their births are fated to run on a tracked course.

It'd be hard even for the gods to change it

If they live forever young, the all the things related in the world will also be destroy. The cataphoric would be unimaginable.

But if one's life is predestined,

Then if you meet something bad then aren't you stuck for your whole life?

Why don't you flip things around to look at it?

All life ends in death

Even the ancient disk that created the heavens and the earth could not escape the end of it's day of disappearance.

If fate cannot be changed,

why not make yourself happier while you are alive then?

and not brokenhearted and sad.

That makes sense

You and your father have read so many books, the way you think is indeed different!
