Leaving storms of the past
I gaze imperiously at the firmament
gently caressing the flute with composure
At the Cloud Recesses
within the Emperor's Smile
The physical realm is transient
the drunken dream of a lone soul
I explore both orthodoxy and heresy
observing the pandemonium
taking on a solitary fight against all
Yet I've not
abandoned my innermost core
Living an unrestrained life
virtue and vice are both illusory
yet the scars within the heart will not fade
In this life
the floating world is like a dream
Though standing aloof from worldly affairs
paths differ but integrity endures
Even with a heart of chivalry
all were regrettably in vain
Good and evil are in black and white
but the border between love and hate remains unclear
Our acquaintance is like a dream
Episode 9
Same Boat
Wei Wuxian!
Get them!
Retreat!
Withdraw now!
After them!
Quick!
Block the exit!
Disciples of Yunmeng led the rebellion.
Disciples from other clans abet the rebels.
Get me reinforcements!
Lay siege to Mt. Muxi!!
If anyone gets out,
kill them on sight!!
Yes!
It's completely blocked.
This filthy pair have gone too far.
So we are...
stuck here?
Together with a man-eating beast...
It's ok, Jiang Cheng.
No need to carry me.
It's not like I broke a leg.
Don't push yourself too hard.
I'm sorry.
You got hurt because of me.
Don't cry!
I'm the one who got burned, not you!
Yet you need me to comfort you?
How about you comfort me instead?
This is?
There are herbs in the sachet.
See if there's anything useful.
Let me see.
Leave the wound as it is.
I'm not badly hurt.
Get out first.
We can't get out.
The only way out is blocked.
It's not the only one.
There are no maple trees in the cave.
But maple leaves in this pool are fresh.
Below the cliff,
there's a maple forest on the creek's bank.
The pool's bottom likely has a hole
connecting to headwaters outside.
But, the monster is guarding the pool...
It hasn't budged for so long, it's probably asleep.
Grab this chance.
You move to the back, I'll scout the front.
Can you handle it?
I was injured so often at Lotus Pier,
which time didn't I swim the fastest?
The corpse mud has crusted.
How many people has this monster eaten?
Why isn't there a response?
Can they make it?
If even disciples of Yunmeng can't make it,
we can't do anything about it either.
They came up!
Watch your back!
How was it?
Did you find anything?
No.
All depends on Jiang Cheng now.
Jiang Cheng!
Jiang Cheng.
Is there a hole?
Yes.
We can pass through.
Great!
The Flame Formation won't last long.
Everyone, listen up.
Follow Jiang Cheng,
and swim out of here!
Damn it.
No.
I didn't mean to...
I was trying to shoot the beast.
You!
Leave!
Don't get in my way!
Wei Wuxian!
Get them out of here.
I'll join you soon.
Trust me.
Now go!
Let's go!
Bro Jiang, what's the use of punching him now?
The most urgent matter at hand is to get Bro Wei out.
I...
I was really trying to help.
No one but yourself knows
what your real intentions were.
What should we do?
The hole is blocked.
And the dreadful beast is still inside.
We should ask for help, separately.
Ask for help?
None of you are leaving!
Kill them!!
Lan Zhan?!
Lan Zhan!!
You...
Quick!
Find a place to hide first.
We should be safe here.
What are you doing?!
Why so nervous?
You'll lose this leg if it's not treated now.
Mianmian said it has herbs inside.
See if there's anything we can use.
Some...can stop bleeding and clear toxins.
Never thought it'd be so useful.
When we get back, I'll have to thank her properly.
You mean harass her properly?
What are you talking about?
It doesn't count as harassment if I'm the one doing it.
It's harassment only if the one doing it looks as greasy as Wen Chao.
Give me the herbs.
If you know it hurts,
don't be so rash next time.
What else could I do?
Mianmian is a girl.
If her face was seared,
the scar will last for life,
how awful is that?
Not much herbs left.
Don't waste them.
My wound is no big deal.
But your leg needs to be treated properly.
The scar on your body
will last for life as well.
The scar is nothing for a man.
He's so stubborn that he's still enduring by himself.
Not enough cloth here, lend me your forehead ribbon.
Wei Ying!...What are you doing?!
Hey, is this forehead ribbon more precious than your leg?
Gimme this.
Wei...Ying!
Alright, you spat the bad blood out.
Holding it back will harm your body.
I've already told you not to endure it when we were by the creek.
Anyway, though I knew your clan emphasizes the appearance,
I didn't expect you to get this angry over a tug of your forehead ribbon.
Lan Zhan, why are you acting like this?
We've already faced death together.
I just ripped off your ribbon and you hit me.
How precious is that thing?
Thanks...
Thank you.
Lan Zhan, this damned monster is too vigilant now.
It can detect me once I enter the water.
We have to kill it to get out of here.
There's a way to kill it.
Although its skin is hard, a ring of scales under its neck is soft.
We can attack this spot!
Odds are against us.
This monster is no common creature.
It is the feral monster, Tortoise of Carnage.
Tortoise of Carnage?
According to ancient texts,
400 years ago,
this feral monster appeared in Qishan and brought ruin.
It is a tortoise entwined with a snake.
*northern and winter guardian of the 4 symbols of Chinese constellations
It looked like the mythical Black Tortoise* but ate humans alive.
Cultivators once formed an alliance to kill it but failed.
Now we are both injured.
So...the hope is that Jiang Cheng and the others
can bring help soon.
Gusu is the nearest place.
But their swords were confiscated,
we probably have to wait 3 or 4 more days.
Help wouldn't come.
The Cloud Recesses was burnt down already.
Is...
everyone ok?
My father is dying.
My brother is missing.
Well...Lan Zhan-
Be quiet.
Wei Ying.
You...are really annoying.
3 days.
We rest for 3 days, if nobody comes to help us...
Then we'll kill that bastard monster.
Stop!
You can't escape!
Wei Wuxian.
You'd better hold on.
Lan Clan's Killer String Technique really lives up to its name!
But the monster hid into its shell, and your leg is injured.
I got this!
Lan Zhan!
The String Formation is ready!
Alright.
We act separately.
I'm going to lure it out.
Be careful.
What is that?
Wei Ying!
It came out.
Could it be...
Wei Ying!
Can you hear me?
Wei Ying.

Faraway in Yunmeng
wordly affairs seem hazy in the distance
Reflections in Gusu
flowing ripples dishevel your heartbeat
The handsome youth in clear robes
has an untamed spirit and pride
Sound of zither lingers
Music of flute scatters
Radiance of Qinghe
shimmers on fallen petals around a lone soul
Pride of Lanling
ignites the sword that blazes through chaos
Even if you sheath your blade
and stand aloof for half a lifetime
The silver lining prevails at the edge of clouds
while you're drifting in wind and storm
A slash of your sword
strikes down treacherous fiends
clearing the path for common good
You play a song of Inquiry
calling for a brighter world.
I drink the splendid wine of Emperor's Smile
splashing my ink for you, always
Our future is still long
We'll never envy of others
as long as you're with me
