Fighter of the Destiny
Episode 38
See?
This formation of stars
is now on the edge of collapse
I used all my energy
But what I can do is merely to struggle to maintain it
My only hope now
is to get the star map in your mind
But you told me
That you would never give it to me
Chen Changsheng, look out
Spiritual-sense-turned sword?
What a petty trick!
Do you see?
It is the power of the Astrolabe Formation
As long as you own this power
You will own the whole world
become its King
be respected by all people
As long as you want it
This power
will be yours
The power?
This power is very strong, so what?
Can it beat destiny? As long as it's powerful enough
It'll help you change your destiny!
Change your destiny?
If the destiny can be changed
Then where are Zhou Dufu and Emperor Taizong
who built this formation of stars?
If I'm really the prince
The power hidden inside my body
should come from this Astrolabe Formation
This formidable power
has never ever brought any happiness to me!
In contrary
Because of it,
I have to struggle hard to survive
Can't cultivate myself
Can't bleed
No matter where I go
will make Shifu and Yuren worried and tired!
I'm nothing but a burden!
I want no power
Not at all
All I want is to be alive
And to spend every day peacefully
with my friends and my love
If you can hand out the star map
I can fulfill all your wishes right now
She is a liar Don't believe her
You escaped through dragon spirit
How dare you!
You...
Don't!
Did you know, back then,
It was her who helped Black Robe attack the imperial city which forced me to sacrifice my son
She was the culprit
who made us separated!
She is only a child
Her father was killed by Zhou Dufu
She was just avenging her father's death
She avenged her father's death. What about you?
You saved her
So you came to me for revenge?
No
I just...
Chen Changsheng
Don't give in to this witch
Black dragon
Don't worry
I just sent her back to the Chill Lake
I want to ask you one more time
Would you like to hand out the star map?
No.
Yourong
You've had a tough time these days
Bearing peace and comfort in my heart
Even if I live in a humble abode
I will gladly enjoy the hardship
Let alone
It's much better than a humble abode
You are still as stubborn as you were
which makes me distressed
By the way
This is your favorite Jade Lotus Seedpod
I especially had it picked from Nanxizhai
Jade Lotus are as clean as ice and as pure as jade
Once tainted with something unclean
It will lose its original flavor
You must have heard that
Chen Changsheng is back
So what?
He is still that ambitious
He still thinks that
Relying on the Pope and Emperor Bai
He can always be safe and sound
able to clear his name
Didn't expect her majesty put him in jail again
becomes a prisoner again
Sometimes it really confuses me
Why he can't just live in the mountain
and do his part peacefully?
Some people
Some things
have made him go beyond his limits
Do you think so? Qiushan Jun
I never mean to say anything bad about him
It's because he is related to the demon clan somehow
and give up on himself
Do you think I will believe your words?
Well, not matter you believe me or not
After your parting this time
It would be rather difficult for you to meet again
The elixirs that you have refined
by your phoenix blood
may also be of no use
Please leave me alone
I have nothing to say with you
Nothing to say?
Why on earth can't you understand my love?
This is your Tong Bow
Her majesty told me to keep it
This is ridiculous
All people
are wishing us to be the immortal lovers
All people?
What a pity!
I happen to not included in them
I humble myself to the dust
Ever since the first time I met you
Until now
My love for you never changed
But Chen Changsheng is just someone
you met when you were young
However, because of him
You say that you have nothing to say with me
You value the few days
more than our decade of friendship!
One day or another
Every person will meet the one he loves
Before that, no matter who he meets
What happens
What he's experienced
All of that is merely waiting
So you mean,
I just happened to be passing by your life
while you were waiting for him?
Well, if after such a long waiting,
In the end,
only to find what you've been waiting is dead?
Or if till then,
you will finally understand
Who is the one that's been waiting for you
till the end?
Stay with each other when we're alive
Miss each other when either is dead
Gou Hanshi
Qijian
You are back
Qijian Qijian is back. You are back
Let's take a break
Okay.
Let's go. Come on
Qijian, you must be worn out by the long trip
How are you?
I'm fine
I really missed you guys
Come back
We are all brothers and sisters
What conflict can't we resolve?
Gou Hanshi
I still don't want to see Qiushan Jun
Seeing him
Reminds me of how he hurt me back in Zhou Garden
Even though he told me that he had no other choice
Qijian
Zhou Garden is a very chaotic and confusing place
It drives everyone crazy
I'd much rather believe in Qiushan Jun
Gou Hanshi
I suspect...
Qiushan Jun was the one who murdered Guan Feibai
Qijian
Do you know what you are saying right now?
Qiushan Jun is like our brother
How could he murder Guan Feibai?
What are you guys arguing about?
Qiushan Jun
Qijian
Why are you still hanging out with Chen Changsheng and his friends?
No reason
It's safe.
You are a disciple of Lishan Academy
No matter what happens
You should be on the side of Lishan Academy
Your protection and sympathy for him
will bring us unwanted troubles
Lishan Academy has always been fair and aboveboard
We never treat innocent people unjustly behind their back
Chen Changsheng is innocent
You know that better than anyone else
Chen Changsheng is innocent?
What do you mean by that?
So you are suggesting,
I am the guilty one?
Yes
I don't believe in a single word
about you being controlled by the Demons
Otherwise
You wouldn't be fully bent on killing Chen Changsheng
So
You want to help Chen Changsheng
to fight against me?
Let go of me
Qiushan Jun
Qiushan Jun, are you crazy?
I'm sorry
I don't know what happened to me
Qijian, are you okay?
I'm fine
Gou Hanshi
See?
Qiushan Jun is no longer what he was.
Here you go
You all must be tired
I bought these Wonder Drinks for you
Helps recover your physical strength
Your highness
Here are your favorite desserts
Have some
Uncle Jin, don't bother taking care of us
We are all not hungry
You guys had been away for so long
I've been worried about you
every day I spent here in Sacred Capital
Now seeing you guys safe
I can finally feel at ease
But Shifu...
He will be fine
Mister
He has been through so many adversities
I believe
He will make it through again
But even though that's what we wish
There is a saying
When it rains, it pours
What are you talking about?
You are making it pour by eating too much
But right now we should find some way to save Shifu
Changsheng never risks his life easily
If he dares to do so, he must have his reasons
When we were leaving Baidi Empire
Emperor Bai promised to write her majesty a letter
So her majesty shouldn't suspect Changsheng
The key point is,
the star map
At worst,
We may persuade Shifu give the star map to her
Anyway, We can do nothing with it
Anyway, can't let Shifu risk his life
Everything else is out of my control
And I don't care about it.
Your highness
Your highness, wait for me, please
What happened to Luoluo?
She seems to be a little weird lately
Maybe she is just worried
Nothing serious
I'll go talk to her later
She will be fine
They all have the same wounds
They were all killed by just one hit This is already the seventh case this month
The criminal is becoming more and more rampant
Not just rampant
But also tough
All the victims are strong guards
But they stand no chance in front of him
Do you think it's really done by the Demon Clan?
Although the spot presents obvious Demon Intent
Judging from the Cultivation Method
It doesn't seem to be demons
But it is...
The killer uses his or her palms on purpose
and mainly makes them suffer traumas
to make the public unknown about his Cultivation Method
Unfortunately
I've still found a thread
Mountain ghost splits the rock
Star hooks cross the sky
Falling flowers of buttonwood
These are Lishan Academy Swordsmanship.
Your Holiness
You suffer an unlucky case once again
I thought the reunion of you two
would be a win-win result
Unexpectedly, her majesty is so cruel
As queen of a country
She must put the country before everything
I don't blame her
Do you still have the Star Map?
Yes
In this case
Why didn't give the star map to her majesty?
I know that her majesty
wants to use the star map to fix the Astrolabe Formation
However, the Star Map is really strange
I haven't figured out something about it
Give it to her majesty irrepressibly
It may backfire
Your thought isn't wrong
However, her majesty changed a lot recently
She is more and more obsessed with power of the formation
Now, the Formation is on the edge of collapse
So she wants to get the Star Map as soon as possible to fix it
For that purpose
I'm afraid that she would disregard her son
Shishu
Her majesty...
is really my mother?
Her majesty
has never done any uncertain things
I got it
Even so, I'm still afraid that
She will do something bad to you
If that day comes
I would not be able to help you
Thank you, Shishu
I don't fear that
What if her majesty threatens you with Saintess' safety?
Hope you can make a decision earlier
Changes might come if too late
Look
If you obey my order, you wouldn't suffer this
I know that you and Chen Changsheng are close friends
As long as you persuade him handing out the Star Map
I can forgive you this time
You are dreaming
You evil old witch
Right
Chen Changsheng and I are close friends
In fact, you are also very pathetic
Although
You are the number one in the world
But you are all alone by yourself
You even could give up your son
No wonder that nobody loves you in this world sincerely
What if her majesty threatens you with Saintess' safety?
Hope you can make a decision earlier
Changes might come if too late
Come in here.
What's the matter?
Please inform her majesty
Chen Changsheng would like to hand in the Star Map
However, I have a requirement
What's the requirement?
Let me enter the Sealed Tombstone
to see the Saintess
Last time, I came here
I was the champion of the Imperial Examination
Now, I became a prisoner
Thinking about this
Really sentimental.
As long as you hand in the Star Map
Nobody will arrest you
We have made a deal
When I see Yourong, I will give you the Star Map
Your majesty
He's very schemed
Gotta guard against him
As long as I stand here
None can escape from my eyes
Rong'Er
Changsheng
How's your injury?
I'm okay, don't worry
I thought...
I could never...
Luoluo saved me
All right,
Take your time to chat later
You have seen Yourong
Hand in the Star Map
You agreed to give up the map?
It doesn't matter
The map is in my mind
Although there are no pens and paper here
I still can make your majesty see it completely
What's wrong
What happened?
Why did Tombstones resonate?
Let's enter the Tombstone
That's odd
The Tombstone has been sealed
Chen Changsheng.
What have you done?
Why does it become like this?
I forgot to tell your majesty something
The Star Map is formed by the last Tianshu tombstone
When all the tombstones are integrated into one
The magical power of
teleportation will be generated
Xuanyuan
Do you think Shifu is alright now?
He is. But I'm not.
What's wrong with you?
Your highness have asked me this for a thousand times
My bear-ears have been worn out
When Shifu was trapped in Zhou Garden last time
I could go and see him through these stones
Now he's in Sacred Capital
But it's so hard to see him for once
Stones, stones
If you can hear me
Please send Shifu here for me
Luoluo, Xuanyuan
You're also here.
Shifu
Shifu, is it really you?
Mister You're back.
Yes, I am
Sorry to make you worry.
Changsheng
Is it really you?
Saintess is here too.
Did her majesty change her mind?
No, she didn't.
We were teleported by the power of the Star Map
Teleport?
What does that mean?
I know
Mister, you are an escaped prisoner!
You managed to escape somehow.
So we must leave now.
Soldiers of her majesty might arrive here soon
Guess all people in the capital are looking for us.
Where should we hide in?
Changsheng
Qijian
Her majesty lets you out?
I think I know where we should hide in.
Your majesty.
Where is Chen Changsheng? He escaped
What about Yourong?
You two listen to me
Whatever method you might use
Find them
and bring them back.
Yes, your Majesty.
Qijian
Qiushan Jun
Where's Chen Changsheng? Chen Changsheng
Isn't he is locked up by her majesty?
He and Yourong have escaped What,
You haven't seen him?
No.
Search this place.
Yes.
Gou Hanshi
Qijian, go back with me.
I'm afraid I will be stabbed in the back by someone
You all watch out
Don't dirty up the floor that I just cleaned
Qiushan Jun, I don't think they will hide here
and do nothing.
They have been here before.
Tell me, where are they? How could I know?
When I was here,
They left already.
Only a letter was left
Where is it?
There.
[ See you later. Take Care ]
How dare they!
Milord, didn't find them
Qiushan Jun, didn't find them, either.
Hanshi, You and your people, stay here
To see if any clues are left.
Yes.
Others
Chase!
Yes.
Hanshi
Do you think
they will catch Chen Changsheng?
It's hard to tell.
Based on Chen Changsheng's wisdom
if he wants to hide away,
others can hardly find him.
So
Is it possible that he has already left the Sacred capital?
I don't think so.
Her majesty has set out powerful restrictions In a hundred miles, no one can go in and out freely.
I see.
Hanshi, please, continue your searching
I'll be leaving.
Wait
Qijian
I know you are close to them
I think you know what you should do if you see them.
Don't worry, Hanshi
Of course I know
what is right to do.
Bye.
Chen Changsheng?
Luoluo?
It's me, Qijian
Hi
How could you hide so deep?
So many people're searching but failed to find you.
My Shifu's enchantment
even the black robe can't find it.
Not to mention these people.
Changsheng
Can the power of teleportation be used again?
Although it can transport people
But the destination is random
This time I managed to escape
by locating the stones of Zhou Garden in advance
If I'm right,
They have found the stones
If we teleport again,
It's hard to tell where we will be
Besides,
We can't just run away
Why not?
His holiness told me
That astrolabe formation is about to collapse.
So her majesty risks everything to get the Star Map
Stability of the formation
is always her majesty's big concern
also related to our humans' destiny.
I can't ignore it.
Mister
Are you gonna give the star map to her majesty?
No way, we definitely shouldn't do this
Why?
The map can fix shortcomings of the Formation
to make it unassailable
But meanwhile,
also makes it stronger and stronger
Strong enough to distort one's will
Makes its operator
become its puppet
So,
We must prevent all these things from happening
Qijian
Are you in there?
Hurry, move
Wait a moment, I'm coming
Hanshi, is anything wrong?
It occurs to me that
you're so close to Chen Changsheng and the others
It's hard for you to balance both two sides
How about you leave Guojiao Academy?
Qiushan Jun will not bother you
Hanshi
You are always be apt with Qiushan Jun
Right?
Back in Zhou Garden
Lishan Academy had a massive loss
You also left
I don't wanna see Lishan Academy split up like this
I'd like to go back
But I'm terrified of seeing Qiushan Jun
It's great here
Look, there are so many books I think reading books here everyday
is really wonderful Qijian, wait
Anything else?
I wonder
If you find Chen Changsheng
What will you do?
What can I do?
Of course, catch them
How upright I am!
Won't let go the demon spay, right?
All right, Hanshi
Gotta read books now
See you later
So, has he left?
Hush, hide
He might not leave away
Qijian
Who were you talking with just now?
Nobody
I heard that Guojiao Academy's library
contains all kinds of rare secret books since ancient times
I always want to have a look
Just some books
Not worthy of a look
Come out
Keeping a visitor outside the door
Is it the way of Guojiao Academy's hospitality?
Brother Hanshi
Brother Chen, haven't seen you for a long time
Don't know what you're gonna do
with us, the escaped criminals?
You really offer me a huge problem
Actually, as far as I'm concerned,
I don't believe you are a demon spy
But
But Qiushan Jun claims with certainty
that I'm a Demon spy, right?
Qiushan Jun's words
I have to believe
Well, have you never thought,
If I'm not the demon spy
and didn't kill Guan Feibai
Why Qiushan pushes me out
to assume these accusations?
You mean
It's clear
Qiushan Jun is actually the Demon spy!
I agree He just wants my Shifu to be the scapegoat
No
Qiushan Jun fights against Demons and guards justice all his life
How could he be the demon spy?
Hanshi
I get along with Qiushan for many years I don't believe he can do such things, either
However, have you found,
He has changed a lot recently
Qiushan Jun
You...
Are you okay?
I'm fine
I'm just cultivating at night
Are you gonna help Chen Changsheng
to go against with me
Let go of me, Let go
Who is right, who is wrong
Who is the real demon spy
I think you
must have your own choice
No matter right or wrong
People are searching everywhere in the capital
Not only Guojiao Academy
We're commanded to search
every corner you may hide in
This time, I'll pretend that I haven't seen you
Shifu, what should we do now?
Escape
How to escape?
There are all barriers everywhere outside
Actually
Brother Hanshi has already reminded us
Stop
Who are you?
Students of Lishan Academy
commanded to hunt escaped criminals
Please
Wait
Please take off your hats
Take them off.
Sorry
It's out of caution.
I understand
You guys go search every shop
Don't let go of any suspicious point
Yes
You go first
I wait for the others
Don't know this Chen Changsheng
what kind of marvelous person he is
For him
the whole Sacred capital is overturned
So many guards have been dispatched
It seems that Saintess has also betrayed Humans with him
Don't know it is true or not
Qijian
Why are you so late?
Hurry up
Come with me to search the Tang Mansion
Yes
Military officer
We have to go now.
Please
Continue searching.
It was really dangerous just now
So terrified
Of course.
If it wasn't for wisdom of Shifu,
We would be caught
I agree
I have to go first
Students of Lishan Academy are waiting for me to bring them back
Take care
Sorry for troubling you.
Don't thank me.
You had also saved my life
I'll be leaving.
Let's find somewhere to have a rest
Remember not to light any candles
People may be still be tracking us down.
Is it spirit-control charm?
Shifu gave it to me
He said if any stranger sneaks into here,
It will alarm in advance
He is always careful.
and always considers more than others do
But what's always on his mind is you, Sister Xu
However, I wish
He could think more for himself
Luoluo
Has he fully been recovered from his injuries?
Of course, he has
After the Sister Goddess gave him the cure
He never got ill again.
What's wrong?
You think he's not recovered yet?
Nope
I'm just worrying
If he fully cured
That will be great
Because of his illness
Changsheng has suffered too much
Shifu is so nice
But the God is unwilling to let him off
When I was young
I met him when I was very ill and close to death
Fortunately, he saved me
Back then, I was totally unaware of his illness
But adhered to him all day
And made him play with me
Really?
What have you played with?
We played a lot together
We made take-copters together
Grilled fish together
If we got tired
We would sit in a tree and blew the Xun together
I know
Before, I've also heard Shifu blowing Xun
I knew that he was missing you.
But it's a pity
I'm not that lucky
I hope I could meet Shifu when I was young
and hear him blow Xun for me
Luoluo
Enough of that. I'm going to find Shifu
The bed is made of prime rosewood
The smell can smooth the nerves, make brain flexible and help your sleep
It's my dad's favorite
In the past, if I wanted to sleep on it
He would not allow it.
Take it easy
As long as he is still alive
You'll have chances to see each other
I know
Changsheng, what's wrong?
Are you okay?
How could this happen?
Because of the Astrolabe Formation
It was the Astrolabe Formation that triggered my energy
The...the Astrolabe Formation
What's wrong with the Astrolabe Formation?
The length of your life still remains at 20.
That means
Before 20 years old
You'll still die.
So far, no changes has happened to that
So,
Nothing has been changed?
Shifu
Shifu, are you okay?
I'm fine
Just need a break
Both of you remember
Don't tell anyone
Now it's is a special moment
Put everyone's safety above everything else
No matter how cruel the reality is
This barrier
is what we must break through
Your highness
Would Mister get angry
If he knew we've sneaked out
Certainly he would
Well, won't we get in trouble?
Only you, Shifu never punished me
Yep
There are so many people here
Is there anything wrong with that?
Aren't you foolish?
Crowd is good for concealment
We will have been followed if only a few people
That's odd
Here it is, but where is he?
I'm here
Why do you dress up like this?
If don't,
How to get away with the royal guards?
Fifty bucks, fifty bucks
Not a single cent less
All my products are real bargains
Your Highness, you are so reckless
At present, it's so dangerous outside
But you still came out and walked round
I'm in a hurry
Where is it?
It's all here, Your Highness
You want so many pills
Does Mister's illness...
Shifu is good
Where is Kylin mushroom?
Empress Bai reserved it
specially for you to improve your stage
Stage
Can Stage save life?
But Kylin mushroom can
Uncle Jin
Your Highness
Go back to the Herbs Garden
You are different from Mister
Because of Emperor Bai
The Great Empress will let you go
No way
Wherever with Shifu is the best place
Got to go, see you later
Be careful
