"Don't Ask 莫问 (Mo Wen)" by Zhang Han 张翰
♫ Within a picture, the characters appear strong. ♫
♫ Withered flowers dance lightly stirring up the water of emotions silently. ♫
♫ Don't ask who weighs more in the heart. ♫
♫ Take up a pen and tell a thousand turbulent stories. ♫
♫ The rainbow streak across the horizon. ♫
♫ Does it know your whereabouts? ♫
♫ Pain spread throughout the land. ♫
♫ How long do we have to wait until it turns cold? ♫
♫ I wish. I hope. ♫
♫ Don't ask why I broke up the relationship in an instant. ♫
♫ I wish. I hope. ♫
♫ This hurdle is difficult for people to pass even in a thousand years. ♫
♫ I wish. I hope. ♫
♫ Don't ask for whom the lonely zither is playing for. ♫
♫ I wish. I hope. I sigh. ♫

The Classic of Mountains and Seas - Legend of the Scarlet Shadow
Episode 41
Do you know that when I held Chi Yu's hands...
- He killed Xiao Bing.- What did you say?
He's not Xiao Bing.
When I held Chi Yu's hands
and pierced the sword into my body,
That warm blood all flowed out.
I've previously read it within the Strange Annals.
At the side of Mt. Kun Lun, there's Cha Sea.
WIthin Mt. Kun Lun, there's a Mirror Domain.
What the Ice Field is referring to must be the Mirror Domain.
-Brother Shangguan...-Mo'er,
Ah Su and Pei Pei
went to prepare the thing we will be needing in our travel already.
When will we be leaving?
We'll leave at the break of dawn.
You're still worrying about the things that Heart Moon Fox said?
Although he gave us the two Essences and Souls,
but I don't trust him much.
I feel that he seems to be hiding some other secrets.
Actually, he's not that bad as you think he is.
Hopefully.
The friends by my side are leaving one by one.
I don't know if I can still bear it if I lose one more friend.
I definitely will not lose any of them again.
Take a rest first. Don't think too much.

Where are you going?
Why is it you?
You're carrying the two Essences and Souls.
Aren't you afraid for them being stolen by Baili Han?
You're planning to go to the Mirror Domain alone?
Why not be with them?
I don't know what will happen next.
But I don't want to lose any of them again.
Just with that speed of yours,
they will be able to find you soon.
They?
Not yet now.
You want to stop me?
I won't just not stop you,
I will even help you, because you have the Essences and Souls...
and also the Mysterious Lady Blood.
Baili Han will find you.
He happens to have a debt here with me
that we must have a good talk about.
Brother Shangguan! What happened that made you so anxious?
Mo'er... Mo'er is gone.
How can that happen?
This is bad. Heart Moon Fox is also gone.
Let's chase after them.
Let's go.
This must be the sealed location.
The Tree Essence and Soul, the Water Essence and Soul,
Mysterious Lady's blood nourishment...
Baili Han, who exactly will be bringing all the stuff here?
Is it Sun Ju or--
Looks like Ms. Fu'er can't wait anymore.
Just wait a little more and you'll know who it is already.
And also I guarantee that after you see this person,
you definitely will be very happy.
It indeed is like as Brother Shangguan said,
Ice City.
You guys are finally here!
You indeed didn't disappoint me.
You really was able to bring her here.
I've already brought the person and the Essences and Souls here.
You can now open the sealed barrier.
You worked hard.
Stop doing meaningless resistance already.
You're mistake is trusting the wrong person again.
Let me.
Fu'er!
Enough already.
Endure it a little more. All will be yours soon.
You will be fine.
Why did you do that to me?
I'm doing all these for your own good.
I promised you that all your friends will be fine.
You must trust me.
Trust you? How am I supposed to trust you?
I'm just doing this to summon the Azure Dragon.
I told you before
that I'm only doing this to continue surviving.
Was the reason you helped me, saved me,
and stayed with me
is to summon the Azure Dragon?
Yes.
But I treated you as a friend.
I told you before that I'm not your friend.
I also don't want to become your friend.
Have you forgotten?
I hate you.
Then hate me a little more.
This way, you can remember me more.
This is the Mirror Domain of the Great Emperor Fu Xi.
Be a little more careful.
How come you're getting more and more cowardly?
Are you still mad at me?
Mad at you?
That time at Green Valley,
I hurt you just because of a moment of impulsiveness.
I finally know now that you got close to Su Mo just to use her.
I even thought that--
Even if it's like that,
it still has nothing to do with you.
Of course, there is.
Doesn't that mean that you have returned to my side again?
You're thinking too much.
I came here because of the Azure Dragon summoning, to fulfill my objective.
Haven't I told you clear enough?
Azure Dragon Mysterious Lady,
I don't have any bit of interest with you.
- Heart Moon Fox!- Fu'er!
You're Fu'er has already left.
Why? Aren't you going to hurry and follow?
To prevent her from getting into some danger.
Brother, this is your favorite loquat fruit.
Why doesn't Brother want it?
Do you want me to peel it for you to eat?
This is the cricket I caught. Brother, take a look!
Brother,
I didn't abandon you.
I was just afraid.
Maybe since we were little until now,
until my death,
I had always been a coward.
This life...
is something that I owe you.
I have finally the courage now
to be able to give it back to you.
Brother...
I already don't owe you anything.
Why must you hate your little brother?
Right now, in this world,
you're already alone.
You are already so lonely not even having anyone.
So lonely not even having anyone...
Being lonely for not even having anyone are for weak people!
It's just an excuse for one's weakness!
Once you've achieved your goal, who will be there to share it with you?
I don't need to share it with anyone!
All of this is mine! All of this are what I should be getting.
Stop moving forward already!
Aren't you afraid that this fire will burn you?
Aren't you afraid that this fire will engulf you?
This world is Hell to begin with.
I climbed out of the raging inferno of Hell.
I experienced much worse days than Hell.
Do you know how I survived?
Only killing one's comrades
can one survive.
You must become more evil than the evil people
to be able to survive.
Great Emperor Fu Xi!
Is your Mirror Domain just this?
Hell's fire for me is just a joke!
Heart Moon Fox!
Heart Moon Fox! Heart Moon Fox!
Heart Moon Fox!
Why is it you?
Fu'er, what are you doing?
Brother Chi Yu...
Why have you become like this?
I didn't change. I am still me.
Then why do you treat them like that ?
Who?
Are you here to keep me company?
This can't be...
You guys have clearly been killed by me.
This can't be. This can't be.
You think you're still alive?
You are like us.
We're all dead.
I'm not. I'm not!
Your soul has long died.
Didn't you know?
I will kill you. I will kill you!
Fu'er, calm down!
Bin Ying...
What's going on with me?
You got fooled by an illusion.
Illusion?
Who's illusion can trap the both of us?
- Where's Chi Yu?- Chi Yu?
He was just here a while ago. Where is he?
All of these were just your illusions.
Fu'er, what's happening to you?
Dead people... they are just behind you.
Don't look! Don't look! They are all laughing.
Dead people... There are dead people everywhere!
What happened?
It's an illusion I created.
You're saying that this road is an illusion that you created?
Yes.
At least I... won't harm you.
This spiritual energy is Chi Yu.
You have always suppressed me under darkness.
Heart Moon Fox, treating her like that...
you're not deserving.
Aren't you supposed to be within my body?
It was the Mirror Domain who allowed my spiritual energy to separate from your body.
I will not fall into your trap.
I don't care where you are now.
Your spiritual energy can't harm me.
You're just an illusion within this Mirror Domain.
You're a coward.
Mo'er!
What really happened here? Who hurt you?
Was it Heart Moon Fox?
I actually believed him.
I was really so foolish.
It was foiled by me.
They have already entered.
Pei Pei, can you open this door?
This door looks like it's also being controlled by changing eight trigrams.
I'll try my best.
Why did that happened?
I don't believe that you don't even have one weakness!
Pei Pei, concentrate. You definitely will be able to open it.
Xiao Bing?! Xiao Bing!
Xiao Bing... What are you doing?
This... This isn't this me?
That's right. This is the most naughty and trouble-making kid I know.
You... Why do you like to hit my head?
How come you're still not willing to let me off up to now?
Because you're really a child to begin with.
If I'd known that you were such a rascal like this,
Ah Su and I wouldn't have picked you up.
Xiao Bing, are you already...?
Ah Su and I shouldn't really have brought you back.
If not, because we discovered you, you would right now
probably be still that carefree magician.
But in the end, you died so tragically.
We that time shouldn't have forced you to summon the Vermilion Bird.
I remember that during the first time we met,
you said that you're going to dig a grave to bury me.
Now that I'm really dead, you also weren't able to do it.
Xiao Bing, you're angry at me, aren't you?
Why was I so stupid?!
Why did I let that Sun Ju have the chance to carry out his evil scheme?
Why?
Why didn't I even get the chance to see you for one last time?
But no matter what,
I've already received this world's most precious gift.
Most precious gift?
Friendship. Su Mo, Chi Yu, Shangguan Jin,
Su Shui, Hong Ling,
Ah Su, and also you.
Being a part of you guys
is the most lucky thing in my life.
But in the past, I kept mocking you as being a coward.
I was really a coward to begin with.
That's not true!
Just to chase after your past,
you persevered. How can you be called a coward?
But instead, I always need someone to protect me.
You're still young.
This is not a question of being young or not.
I'm also a real man.
Sister Hong Ling and Su Mo
should have been protected by me.
Xiao Bing, you don't know
how much I wanted to protect them
and let them not suffer any harm.
But I always get to be the one that holds them back.
In my heart, Shi Pei Pei
is someone that's way braver than me.
Because you never beat around the bush.
Always straightforward.
With you being my friend,
I really feel very blissful.
Xiao Bing...
Xiao Bing!
- Pei Pei!- Pei Pei! - Pei Pei!
Pei Pei, what happened to you?
- Pei Pei!- Pei Pei!
I once boasted
that I will let you guys see my real strength.
And right now, only I can open this door.
Say,
is this the time when I'm most capable?
Pei Pei, what are you saying?
Relying on hearing and sight
but I overlooked the power of the heart.
Today, I'll let you guys see
my true power.

- Pei Pei!- Pei Pei!
Pei Pei...
- Xiao Bing...- Xiao Bing...
Pei Pei...
Xiao Bing...
The Mirror Domain's door is now open.
Let's hurry and enter. Let's not waste Pei Pei's efforts.
Okay. Let's go in first.
Let's go.
Everyone, be careful.
I heard that the Great Empeor Fu Xi's Mirror Domain can disturb one's wisdom (cause confusion).
How come this road doesn't seem to end?
With no one disturbing us, don't you feel that it's better?
I seem to be forgetting some important things.
Although this road is long,
but I really like it here. Although it's too cold and lonely,
but, at least, I'm very happy.
What are you really talking about?
How come I can't feel any happiness?
You're happiness?
I vaguely remembered
that you told me that you'll help me search for my happiness, is that right?
Fu'er...
Can we change to another form of method? Change to...
a method where I can bring you happiness?
It's hard to chase and search for the past.
Why not grab hold of the present happiness?
What the hell are you talking about?
Where is this really? How come there's only the two of us?
Do you hate this place a lot?
Looks like, even in here,
you are also not able to let go of your obsessions.
How come I can't remember it clearly no matter how much I try?
Do you remember what happened earlier?
Earlier?
It seems like...
We've already fallen into the Mirror Domain.
Mirror Domain?
Legend says that it was Great Emperor Fu Xi that personally made it.
Unending ice mirrors.
It can charm one's wisdom.
Then how do we go out?
I will take you out of here.
How long will it take?
Within the Mirror Domain, one will not get hungry
and there's no time.
One instant can also be forever.
Why is your hand this cold?
Where's your spiritual energy?
The Mirror Domain is really just a powerful illusion.
Creating an illusion within an illusion.
It's natural that I'm going to use up more energy.
But you can opt not to do this.
What Mirror Domain? I'm not afraid of it.
But I'm not willing to risk it.
These mirrors were personally made by Great Emperor Fu Xi.
Everyone must face their own inner self
so as not to be bewitched.
Fu'er...
can you really do it?
What can I not do?
Hey, Brother Shangguan, Ah Su's gone missing.
- Let's go there to look.- Okay.
Are you angry at me?
I know that you're angry at me. I'm the one who caused Pei Pei to die.
If I didn't act on my own, maybe Pei Pei didn't need to go.
Pei Pei's death has nothing to do with you.
That is a choice he chose on his own.
Right. I am still angry at you.
How come you're willing to believe his words
but wouldn't believe any of mine?
It's not that I don't believe you.
I'm just worried that I'll lose another comrade.
- I just--- Then look at me.
Tell me if you like him.
Heart Moon Fox.
No... No way.
There's not even a little bit of liking?
Maybe there was that one moment.
He indeed attracted me.
I kept wanting to get near him.
I hoped that I could change him,
believe him.
I kept hoping to see Chi Yu's shadow from him.
Then it's because of Chi Yu.
But Chi Yu is gone already.
Do you still remember?
Watching peach blossoms flying during spring.
Picking osmanthus during autumn to make biscuits.
These were all the promises you gave me when we were at Peach Blossom Hollow.
No worries. So happy.
Mo'er,
are you willing to
live those kinds of days with me?
Look at the me that's right in front of you now.
Forget that person who caused you pain and sadness.
Brother Shangguan...
I don't want to lie to you.
You're worthy to have a way better lady.
She will treat you wholeheartedly.
This person is not me.
You're my most trusted friend, my best friend.
This part will never change.
Maybe I should be happy.
Your heart aches for me.
This means...
that in your heart
I still have a small position.

Hong Ling?
Still calling me Hong Ling?
You're already able to talk to me so why not call me with my original name?
Xiao Ju...
What? Why do you keep staring at me?
I like listening to you talk.
Then I'll keep talking.
I also want to keep being with you
but I have to go already.
Why?
Because I dare not forget your last instructions to me
to help Su Mo summon the Vermilion Bird.
Then even if I will ask you to stay,
you still must go?
You're only my obsession, her shadow.
It's exactly because I have her in my heart;
that's why I won't dare to go against her wishes
just because of this little happiness.
I'll go now.
But we will see each other very soon.
- Ah Su!- Ah Su!- Ah Su.
I saw Hong Ling so I kept her company for a while.
Don't worry. She's doing well.
Brother Shangguan,
how can we break out of this Mirror Domain?
If I didn't guess it wrong,
we have already broken out of the Mirror Domain.
Great Emperor Fu Xi's Mirror Domain can peer into a person's inner heart
and disturb our wisdom.
But when we are able to face our inner heart (conscience),
this Mirror Domain is tantamount to just an imaginary structure and will not be able to lock us anymore.
That's great! Let's not waste time and summon the Vermilion Bird already.
Okay. Let's go.
- Brother Shangguan!- M'er!
Brother Shangguan, what's happening to me?
Mo'er, don't fret first.
You're being locked up by the Mirror Domain.
Do you still have something in your heart that's unresolved?
Unresolved things?
Mo'er, calmly think about it.
Chi Yu...
Mo'er!
Chi Yu!
Is it really you?
I'm not dreaming, right?
Mo'er...
This is not a dream.
Why are you crying?
I really was able to see you again.
I have always been by your side.
It's just that you didn't know.
Then right now, you...
Maybe because of the Mirror Domain,
I got totally separated from him.
You guys are really quite sweet.
What?
Just because you saw Chi Yu, you've forgotten who I am?
Why did you lie to me?
Why must you say that Chi Yu is already dead?
I did that for your own good.
Because he will completely disappear sooner or later.
I only didn't want you to be disappointed again.
Oh, right.
He said that if I really like you,
he can let me have you.
Why did you say that?
Because I have no way to protect you
and only he can do it.
Hence, I'm willing to do that.
But I don't need him to give way.
As long as I'm able to summon the Azure Dragon,
he will then disappear forever.
Could it be that you want to summon the Azure Dragon just to make Chi Yu disappear?
That's right.
I don't want to disappear again and will never be replaced by him again.
I will definitely not let you achieve your goal!
Looks like... you really hate me.
Isn't it your wish for me to hate you?
Just to open the door of the Mirror Domain, Shi Pei Pei...
he's already...
You brought all of these to yourself!
Mo'er...
What's wrong?
I just feel so weak.
This Mirror Domain can use up one's spiritual energy.
Your spiritual energy is inadequate to begin with.
Let's think of a way to get out.
We must not stay here.
How can we go out?
Don't worry.
I'll transfer my spiritual energy to you.
With me here, nothing will happen to you.
It's Heart Moon Fox.
My spiritual energy is not enough to allow you to walk out of here.
He does care about you.
Chi Yu...
Mo'er, you should go now.
Brother Shangguan said it right.
I have an unresolved matter
that's why I got trapped within the Mirror Domain.
I only knew today
that my unresolved matter is to see you.
Actually, even if I'm stuck in here forever,
as long as you can stay by my side then it's already enough.
Mo'er...
you must walk down the remaining path on your own.
What this Mirror Domain wants to lock in it
is not you but it's me and Heart Moon Fox.
Heart Moon Fox is still not gone.
If you stay with me now,
then you'll never be able to get out.
I'm not afraid.
But you must get out.
It was not easy for me to be able to see you again.
I can't leave you alone.
I know what you're thinking.
That's also what I wanted.
I want us to stay together every day until forever.
But I can't lock you up in here just because of this.
Mo'er... I want you to live.
I want you to live well.
I don't want to leave alone.
You're already not around. What's the point of me still living?
Mo'er...
Your tribal chief father is still waiting for you to save him.
Green Valley Grandma is still waiting for you to come home.
Everyone is still waiting for you to summon the Vermilion Bird.
Could it be that Su Shui, Hong LIng, Xiao Bing, Pei Pei,
will they just die for nothing?
Chi Yu...
Believe me.
I'll come looking for you soon.
You're lying.
When have I lied to you?
I will work hard to find a way out.
Then promise me.
I promise you.
Go now.
Mo'er...
I will keep on being here watching you walk out.
Don't look back.
Continue walking forward.
Mo'er!
Are you alright?
Chi Yu... I saw Chi Yu.
Chi Yu is still alive?
He's just being suppressed by Heart Moon Fox.
Then he...
He and Heart Moon Fox were trapped within the Mirror Domain.
Brother Shangguan, let's hurry and go already.
Chi Yu said that he'll catch up with us.
