Yiling Burial Mounds
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 14
Obscured Sun
The story goes that in the beginning of the Sunshot Campaign,
Qinghe Nie Clan,
Lanling Jin Clan,
Gusu Lan Clan
and Yunmeng Jiang Clan
led a total of 8000 cultivators
and marched towards Qishan.
*Qishan Wen Clan's turf, literally "Within the Passes"
They pledged to conquer Guanzhong*,
purge evil and bring justice to the world.
However, Qishan Wen Clan was so overpowering
that their attempt to topple the Nightless City
was akin to an ant trying to shake a giant tree.
Therefore,
Wen Ruohan described them with 2 words:
Unpromising
and overconfident.
*Lanling Jin Clan's turf
In Langya of the Qilu* region,
Lanling Jin Clan suffered one defeat after another.
Meng Yao
Jiang Wanyin of Yunmeng Jiang Clan only had a small force.
*Gusu Lan Clan's turf
Fortunately, after the situation in Jianghuai* stabilized,
*Yunmeng Jiang Clan's turf
Lan Wangji led a group of cultivators to reinforce Jingchu*.
*a place in Qinghe Nie Clan's turf
While in Hejian*,
Qinghe Nie Clan won a decisive victory.
Nie Mingjue beheaded Wen Ruohan's eldest son Wen Xu with his own hands,
and displayed it in front of the troops.
He mocked at Qishan Wen Clan's undeserved reputation,
and their certain defeat,
greatly boosting the morale of his followers.
Outrageous!
Sis,
what does the letter say?
Wen Ruohan ordered all branches of Qishan Wen Clan
and the affiliated clans to join the war.
Anyone who disobeys
will be punished without mercy.
Then are we... going?
No.
Although our branch bears the surname Wen,
our pursuit has always been the art of healing,
not that of killing.
Bear in mind
that we are healers.
We save lives and treat the wounded.
Even if we are on the battlefield,
we cannot betray our principles.
I will keep it in mind.
But Wen...
Wen Chao...
Wen Chao?
I think right now,
he is too occupied to mess with us.
What...?
Looks like our mission tonight
has been accomplished by something else.
Clan Leader,
the Wen Clan cultivators are all dead but in different ways.
Their deaths are bizarre!
Most were...
scared to death!
Scared to death?
What on earth did this?
Any leads?
Clan Leader,
we didn't find anything.
It doesn't matter.
Since they killed the damned Wens,
they must be our allies.
Report, Clan Leader.
A large group of Wen troops were spotted in the south.
They are heading our way.
Burn all the supplies.
Retreat.
Understood.
Shayang Fort
Have you heard?
Something happened to the Supervisory Office in Jingling, too!
What?!
Jiangling, Mianyang, Jingling.
They are all cursed!
All the Wen Clan's Supervisory Offices are cursed by feral ghosts!
I heard that Lan Wangji's men did it,
in order to undermine our morale.
Bullshit!
You saw the corpses in Mianyang's Supervisory Office, too.
Are humans capable of that?
We can't stick with Wen Clan anymore.
I don't want to die!
Stop right there!
I...
We...
You have the nerve to desert?
If anyone else dares to spread rumors
and desert against orders,
this will be their end!
Have you found the rebel's hideout?
Young Master Wen,
we haven't located it yet.
Then go find it!
But Young Master,
Clan Leader ordered us to leave today
for the main battle field of Qinghe.
Do I give the orders or you?!
Go find it!
If you can't find it, then bring me your head!
Yes.
These scoundrels,
all they can do is sneak attack.
Wait till I destroy your hideout!
Let's see if you can still pull off those freaky acts!
Chongyang
Clan Leader.
Wen Chao has recently increased his troops,
searching for our whereabouts.
What about Chongyang?
There are no suspicious signs now.
However,
these are all newly enrolled cultivators.
Once the damned Wens attacks,
I'm afraid we can't resist them.
Second Master Lan, I see that you find this talisman quite questionable.
But isn't this just an Exorcism Talisman?
What could possibly be wrong?
This talisman...seems to be drawn with more strokes than usual.
4 strokes more.
Drawn with human blood.
Human blood?
*scarlet pigment used for warding off evil in Chinese tradition, and as a sedative in Chinese medicine
Talismans are usually drawn with cinnabar*.
I've never heard of any that was drawn with human blood.
This method of drawing is so sinister.
The effect of this talisman may be quite different from exorcism.
Exactly.
This talisman
was completely reversed.
Reversion?
What is this reversion?
Usual talismans
exorcise.
This talisman
summons evil.
A talisman...that can summon evil?!
Absolutely unheard of.
You are right.
But I have tested many times.
It does have the ability to lure spirits and garner resentful energy.
Which means that
the sinister phenomena at damned Wen's Supervisory Offices,
had something to do with this talisman.
I've seen it in 3 times on-scene.
The brush strokes added on the talisman
reveal that it was drawn by the same person.
But among all the famed cultivators,
I've never heard of anyone who could do that.
This making of this talisman is so sinister.
Among the cultivation clans,
I've never seen anything like it.
Sinister?
What could be more sinister than damned Wens?
As long as he can kill damned Wens,
who cares if he's a heretic or a demon?!
Second Master Lan.
Clan leader Jiang.
The Young Lady of Yunmeng Jiang Clan
has been escorted back from Shuchuan.
Sis?!
Where is she?!
Sis...
A-Cheng!
As long as you're safe and well...
Lotus Pier.
I will certainly be back!
The revenge for our parent's death.
I'll make damned Wens
repay a hundredfold.
A-Cheng.
You've grown up.
Our parents will be glad to know that.
How's A-Xian?
Any news of him?
Since I went down the mountain that day,
I never saw him again.
I looked for him at foot of the mountain for a few days.
I was worried of him being caught by damn Wens
and searched for him in the Supervisory Office at Yiling.
But still found no trace of him.
Could he...?
Stop making wild guesses.
A-Xian
will be alright.
Jingchu has been thoroughly searched,
except for the region around Chongyang.
Can't believe these rebels are really hiding here.
I must inform the Second Young Master immediately!
You wanna tip off?
Oh no!
Just a few defectors and remnants
still can't be found after so long!
Wen Xu was so useless that he was beheaded by Nie Mingque.
He brought shame to our Qishan Wen Clan!
What's wrong with you stupid bitch?!
Bitch, what are you doing?!
Second Young Master,
you know, those strange happenings at the Supervisory Offices...
Those corpses...
I wonder if Wei Wuxian didn't die and now he came...here to revenge?!
I've said that Wei Wuxian cannot get out of the Burial Mounds alive!
And you're still yelling about such nonsense?!
Is there any chance that he...turned into a vicious ghost after he died?
After I'm dead, I'll definitely turn into a vicious ghost!
I'll make sure that you damned Wens
will never be at peace!!
That's even more absurd!
Those who died in the Burial Mounds,
their souls will be trapped there forever
with no hope of getting out!
B...But
Enough!
Even if he came back as a vicious ghost,
he will not get past so many Exorcism Talismans.
What is that sound?
Bitch, what are you doing?!
That's just the sound of wind!
Can't you friggin stop being hysterical?!
Such an annoyance!
Young master,
we've located the rebels!
Where?
Kill them right now!
Spare no one!
Pass my order!
All the elderly, children and women.
Retreat to the back mountain now!
Clan Leader.
Wens' sword formation was found in the northwest frontier!
Bastard!
They came so fast!
Shoot!
Formation!
Charge!
Wei Wuxian...
Wei Ying....
It's Wen Chao who pushed you down...
Not me...
Not...
Help!
Somebody help!!!
Take me away right now!
I don't wanna stay here any longer!!
Take me away now!
Why are you just standing here?!
Get me out of here!! Now!!!
Flute music...
Where did the flute music come from?!
No...
Stay away from me!
Wei Ying!
I didn't push you down!
If you want revenge
go find Wen Chao!!
Don't take revenge on me! Not me!!
How's the battle going?
We've broken through the gates,
and laid siege to the rebels in the city.
Good job.
We will wipe out the rebels here in Chongyang today!
Lan Zhan!
You'd better not struggle any more!
Wei Ying had been waiting so long for the both of you.
Just die here,
and you can reunite in the hell!
What do you mean?!
What do I mean?
I've heard that you guys are still looking for him?
You have no chance to find him even if you search every corner of the world!
Where is Wei Ying!?
I threw Wei Wuxian into the Burial Mounds quite some time ago.
I guess even his bones won't be left by now.
You!
Send them to hell.
W...What's the matter?
Guards! Come over now!
Flute music...

It is updated every Saturday
Over the mountains
across the seas
Under the moon
frost sweeps over my zither
The requiem fades
as I whisper my thoughts to the wind
A cup of Emperor's Smile
for a drunken reverie
Flowers bloom and wilt
fallen leaves gather
Maintaining grace and virtue
with a desolated heart
Arisen from chaos
my sword soars out like a chilling gale
The music ends and crowds disperse
but my sentiments linger
Moments flash by
spring blossoms return
rabbits leap in the Clouds Recesses
Years go by
who still remembers these unrequited feelings?
The night is tender
cold springs ripple
memories surface in my reflections
I play a song
you smile once more
in my dreams
