Año 1 del reinado de Ming Hongguang (1645), junio Año Bisiesto Montes Cejas, Nanking(Su Kunsheng, interpretado por Jing, aparece junto a Li Xiangjun) (Xiang) 【Revel in Drunkenness】 Unhappiness lingers deep within my heart, amidst mountains and rivers we will meet again;I hold on to the love of my life tightly, even if it means deceiving him into a dream like a celestial wanderer.
See this dense forest of clouds shrouding green pines, it is from our Heavenly Terrace Cave.
(calls out) Master, we are indeed fortunate to have met Uncle Lan Tian and came here to the Montes Cejas.
By chance, we knocked on your door seeking shelter, only to find that Lady Bian Yujing is the abbot of this Paozhen Monastery, allowing us to stay for a while.
This is truly an unexpected fate.
However, Lord Hou has not been found, and my lady cannot return home, please have Master keep this in mind and search for him.
(Kun) Do not be so impatient.
Look at the smoke and dust on the ground, where can we find him?Let's wait for Abbot to come out and discuss a way of life here.
(Old Dan Bian Yujing, dressed as a nun in Daoist attire, appears) 【Satin Robe】 In the heavens, where music is played, I hear clouds of cranes and bells ringing softly.
A lifetime spent among flowers and moons has turned into nothing but empty dreams;almost planting peaches again.
(bows upon seeing them) Our humble monastery is simple, please do not mind our presence.
(Xiang) Thank you for taking us in, we are deeply grateful.
(Kun) I have a message to deliver.
The land north of the Yangtze River is in chaos and unrest, it would be too dangerous to travel there now;my old tricks won't be useful here either.
We have been troubling you these days and feel very uneasy about it.
(Bian) How can we say no?Old friends returning home, the path through Penglai opens up;Fate unbroken, the pain of Wuxia is deep, Let us speak of Emperor Xuanyuan's dreams together.
(Kun) I am Su Kunsheng with a task here.
(changes shoes and hat, takes axe, pole, rope, and begins to walk up the mountain) The weather is clear today, let me go gather some pine wood from the ridge for cooking;it will not be like sitting idle waiting for things to happen.
(Bian closes the door) (Xiang) I am bored just sitting around, why don't we find some old clothes and mend them to pass the long summer days?(Bian) There is something I need your help with.
It's the Mid-Summer Festival, where villagers are allowed to hang banners at White Cloud Monastery in honor of Empress Zhou Wanniang;would you be kind enough to make those banners for us?It would be a great virtue.
(Xiang) Such a good deed, I am willing to help.
