It’s been a few days since I finished Chinese Paladin 3, but it still has a hold on me, and I don’t want to let it go. Those moving love stories have ended. All that’s left are scene after scene of vivid memories, image after image of bittersweet beauty. Those stirring background melodies keep lingering in my ears.
Click here and let’s listen together:
He came out of the tree, following a true love from a past life; he has lived through spring’s passing and autumn’s return himself.
Xiyao poured her longing into the immortal fruit and created Xuejian, hoping she would keep Feipeng company in her place. Xuejian carries Xiyao’s dreams and Xiyao’s tenderness — surely she can keep Jingtian company in her place. When Xuejian first met Xiyao, she said that everything she received came in doubles: if there was a share for her, there was a share for Xiyao. Yet later Xuejian actually came out with “I’m going to snatch that blasted Veggie-Tooth back from Xiyao’s hands.” That was truly heartbreaking. Reading that, how I wished Xiyao and Xuejian could become one. Xuejian is Xiyao’s longing — isn’t she already a part of Xiyao?
But what about Xiyao herself? She turned into flowers and grass to nourish the immortal tree. All she can do is watch Jingtian and Xuejian keep each other company day and night, and silently wish them well. To her, the Feipeng of old is nothing but a memory now. This love, sealed away in time, never changes.
A single memory lasts as long as three lifetimes; in the end, a bowl of water is all it takes to forget it.
Changqing and Zixuan — a love across three lifetimes, so long, so true. Hand in hand, together until old age. Each lifetime is a new beginning; each lifetime is more sublime than the last.
Time cannot be cut through; it flows back into the past. The changes etched into the bone are not far away. Even ten thousand years from now, this deep feeling will not change; love spreads like a blazing fire.
In this life, Changqing’s many years of cultivation and Zixuan’s complete understanding let them make the rational choice for the sake of all living beings, giving up their own romance and turning private love into a greater love. They agreed to drink the water of forgetfulness, to forget each other’s love, forget the time that had passed, and break free of every entanglement. But how could the memories of three lifetimes be wiped away so easily? Even if I give up loving you, let me keep something to remember.
Love is so clear, yet we must accept separation; all I have left is the right to miss you. I’m truly sorry — I promised you I would stop loving you, but I never promised myself. And yet how could I truly stop loving you?
And finally — Zixuan gets her wish, and snow fills the sky. You and I are strangers now; tears fall in sorrow. Changqing dances with his sword, all alone — the road to Shu is hard. To be apart, I’m not used to it. No matter how you reckon it, it’s too hard. After parting, we are braver.
After a thousand years of loneliness you see the sunlight again, yet you turn and leap into the sea of fire, becoming a phoenix.
A thousand years of waiting, only to meet her brother once more. Fate was settled long ago: what awaits her is yet another sacrifice to the sword. In the end she lets it go, leaving her brother behind with a heart full of blessings. No longer trapped inside the sword, she begins a new life of her own.
Time cannot be cut through; it flows back into the past. The changes etched into the bone are not far away. Even ten thousand years from now, this deep feeling will not change; love spreads like a blazing fire. May this love be passed down through the generations.
From then on — Feipeng becomes an ancient myth, Xiyao turns into beautiful flowers, Longkui enters the black-and-white cycle of reincarnation.
The world returns to the right path, and Jingtian and Xuejian, two people fated for each other, are finally united. They had Maomao and Biping quietly supporting them, a thousand years of memories, and an undying blessing. Those familiar smiling faces will be engraved in their hearts forever. They have Yong’an Pawnshop, they have Tangjia Fort, and at this moment, they also have — each other.
To save the people killed by the Evil Sword Immortal, Jingtian agreed to give the Heavenly Emperor his own time in exchange for everyone’s lives. So Jingtian doesn’t have much time left, does he? Hey, who cares. They love each other, forever and ever, and time is nothing to be afraid of.
Snow falls thick and heavy, exactly as it did when Xuejian fell into the mortal world…
