Cranes Return to the Cold Mountain

On the southern mountain's cold peak, a pair of cranes dwell, untouched by worldly dust for seventeen years. When a sect from beyond the domain arrives bearing enmity, flames of war once again engulf the southern lands. An orphaned child is afflicted with a strange love-eroding poison; a single thought of deep affection brings the pain of a burning heart. A maiden at the bottom of a ravine excels at identifying spiritual herbs, her heart like crystal, willing to accompany him through tribulations. The border city stands proud, storms arise in the secluded valley, and at the Cliff of Parting, the bitterness of longing reenacts. Former chivalrous companions return to the mortal world, using their ultimate skills to fend off powerful enemies, and with righteousness and love, they save all beings. The battle at Wild Goose Peak decides the fate of the martial world, but the dynasty's fortune cannot be forcibly sustained. When the weapons fall silent, old friends each return to their own places. The green mountains remain, and the wind and moon endure forever.
