[The Seven Relics of ill Omen]

[Adapted from Weiyu's novel, The Seven Relics of ill Omen]

[Episode 11]

Zhama,

the mule cart lantern are like will-o'-the-wisps.

Out here in the middle of nowhere.

Scared us to death.

So that's Qiju Village up ahead?

Yeah.

But I heard the village was deserted?

Most folks moved to town years ago.

But the elders who've lived in the mountains all their lives

prefer to stay.

Like my mom.

She's used to mountain spring water

and can't stand the tap water.

See, I come by every couple weeks

to drop off supplies.

And stay with her for a few days.

Then we're lucky.

Just got here and ran into you,

even hitched a ride.

So

what brings you out here?

You've got relatives here, right?

Oh, by the way,

we just ran into some crazy geezer.

Gave us a real fright.

He kept babbling about savage.

That's Mr. Suonan from the next village.

He went into the mountains and saw a savage a few years back.

That scared him out of his mind.

Are there actually savages around here?

No. Absolutely no.

That's just folklore.

After what happened to Mr. Suonan,

the government sent a team to investigate.

No savages at all.

If they were real,

this place would've been famous by now.

This is a shortcut.

Only available for oxcarts.

We'll reach the village soon.

Stop trying!

No signal out here.

I have something very urgent

to contact my friends. What should I do?

Go out.

Where you can drive, there's signal.

Is your mule cart heading out tomorrow morning?

Here's the number.

Could you help me contact them?

The mule just got here. It's tired.

It needs rest.

You need rest.

So does it.

Then I'll hire someone?

How much

are you offering?

A hundred?

Yeah.

I'll give you two hundred.

Just help me contact them.

Then I'll do it.

I ate my fill tonight.

I've got strength.

I'll leave at first light tomorrow.

Alright.

Here's the number.

Sure.

My master's phone is still switched off.

Can't get through to Miss Rich either.

Best-case scenario?

Bad signal in the mountains.

Well, worst-case...

No. Don't even think it.

Forget it.

Luo Ren, we need to hurry.

I saw a shadow in the cart today.

Looked just like a Sunny Doll.

Vision again?

Yes.

Then ignore it.

Pingting's safe now.

No one wants anything to do

with that cursed relic of ill omen.

What?

You're going into Yueliang Mountain?

Why?

Is there any problem?

Rainy season now.

Roads are rough.

And you are an elderly man.

With two young girls?

Plus, rumors say

there are savages in there.

Thought you said no savages?

No one's seen them.

But the stories persist.

Locals avoid the mountain.

Few dare to go in.

So

even without savages,

there are still beasts, I guess.

Relax.

I've been there before.

No savages. No beasts.

Just rumors.

Rumors don't scare us.

Hongsha.

Back to the room.

No, thanks.

I'm good.

I'm getting old.

This thing keeps me up at night.

Let's head back.

I'll go out.

Madam, I'll have some.

There's more if you want.

There's more if you want.

My mom means

you can ask for more

if you want.

No, this is plenty.

My mom likes you.

Keep it.

Thank you.

My mom's amazing.

The colored cords she weaves possess power.

They can help with romantic relationships.

Help with romantic relationships?

Back in the day,

couples in these mountains would visit a Taoist nun

to see if they were well-matched before marrying.

My mom's ancestors were great shamans.

Truly powerful.

I know you city folk

might not put much stock in our old ways.

So does checking a match

require both people,

or just one?

Just one.

But do you have something

he gave you?

If you do, then we can do that.

Here.

May Yueliang Mountain bring you blessings.

Well?

I had a feeling.

Not a good match?

These will fill you up on the road.

And mark your trail,

or you'll lose your way.

Got it.

Also,

there's an abandoned village halfway.

You can shelter there.

Our hunters stay there

when they can't make it back in a day.

I know.

You know?

My mom says that village

was cleared out twenty years ago.

You've been there?

I heard it from...

Mom.

My mom prepared these for you.

Yueliang Mountain sees a lot of rain.

Her woven bamboo hats work better than umbrellas.

Thank you.

Here, Grandpa.

I'm leaving right away

and make good time.

I'll make sure

to contact your friends.

Thank you.

Don't dwell too much

on last night.

My mom's visions

aren't always right.

My mom just said

she couldn't fully see through it.

She said there's another you.

But the one that remains in the end

isn't the same

as the you now.

What's "right" or not?

Don't dilly-dally. Let's go.

Be safe.

Bye, Madam.

She said

there's another you.

But the one that remains in the end

isn't the same

as the you now.

What are you doing?

Marking the trail.

We'll need it

to find our way back.

We're here.

The village is just ahead.

Hurry.

What's wrong?

Nothing. Keep moving.

What's that hanging there?

That's a Sunny Doll.

For praying for clear weather.

It's a local custom.

Almost every household has one.

Sunny Doll?

Why does that sound so familiar?

The relic of ill omen?

Remote mountains, village,

raining, and Sunny Doll.

Now everything adds up.

We can't be that unlucky

to run into the relic of ill omen again, can we?

Eat first.

Let's eat first?

Whatever we've stumbled into,

we'll face it better

on full stomachs.

Fair point.

Grandpa, let's eat.

Thought that fifty thousand would be easy money.

Nothing but fear and sweat.

Every penny earned through hard work.

Doubt this water's even safe.

I just got through on the phone

when you said you'd arrived.

That scared me.

Thought you were all

playing a prank on me.

So Mu Dai and the others are fine?

Apart from that madman,

nothing else happened?

Hey,

how many times do I have to tell you?

Relax. All's well.

Eat.

Still a day's gap, though.

Just walk faster tomorrow.

They're just women and an elderly man.

You'll catch up

with full stomachs.

But don't travel at night.

Too dangerous.

You'll get lost.

Mom,

do you want some porridge?

By the way, Zhama.

No savages, right?

Didn't they say his clothes

were torn to shreds

when they found Mr. Suonan?

And he was screaming about savages eating people?

Female savage, huh?

He was raving mad.

Nonsense.

Sounded convincing to me.

Pretty credible.

See? You're buying into it already.

The more rumors spread,

the wilder they get.

What's so funny?

Your eyes have narrowed to slits.

Spit it out.

You may not come here in vain.

Might end up a mountain bridegroom.

Right, Luo?

Think about it.

You're skilled in combat.

And I'm strong.

But this guy? Skinny arms, twig legs.

What'll you do if a female savage really shows up?

Yeah, right.

Let me tell you,

these twig legs?

She won't like them.

She'll want your type, strong guy.

You're laughing too?

You...

My ring fell in.

I'll get it.

There, the ring.

Fished a Sunny Doll out of the well?

You already pulled it out.

Might as well bring it over.

Maybe we'll discover something.

Since when are you so brave?

You go get it then.

It's right by the well.

I'm freaked out.

Me too.

Hauling that bucket up nearly killed me.

You're just picking it up.

A quick sprint.

Mu Dai,

I'm your boss now.

You're the employee.

Since when can an employee

direct the boss?

Mu Dai, Mu Dai.

It is a Sunny Doll.

Just like Luo described.

But the craftsmanship...

A bit shoddy.

Even my work's better than this.

But who made it?

What are you two doing?

Mu Dai fished a Sunny Doll out of the well.

Why mess with children's toys?

Mu Dai.

Please stay here alone for now.

Hongsha and I need to discuss

family matters.

- Alright. - Hongsha.

Come on.

Wait for me.

What are you staring at?

Grandpa,

can you stop being so wary of Mu Dai?

She's my closest friend.

How am I supposed to

if you keep this up?

What do you know?

This treasure hunt

might be my last.

Your uncle's dead.

Who knows

how long I have left?

Grandpa, please don't say that.

Why do you think

I'd come all the way here?

For you.

They say we reap

what our ancestors sow.

I'm just here to help you

lay a solid groundwork.

I went to great lengths

to hide this gem well.

I don't use it lightly.

It's only for emergencies.

Some things

in this trade can't be shared.

Fierce competition,

scarce opportunities.

When you find a gem well,

you're afraid it'll be discovered by others.

So you'd resort to an ancient method.

You use human vitality to suppress the treasure's aura.

Only then can it be concealed tightly,

and others won't be able to find it.

The sun's out.

A good omen.

Let's go.

Mu Dai,

what are you looking for?

Move.

Hurry.

Let's go.

That Sunny Doll.

Now of all times?

You're still hung up on a doll?

Go.

Move.

Let's go.

Where did the Sunny Doll go?

What, is it strange?

Yes.

After we brought it back yesterday,

no one touched it.

There were only a few of us in the room.

How could it just disappear?

Did it move on its...

What's wrong, Grandpa?

Why stop?

This is it.

Here?

Can't you feel it?

The energy here

is different.

What energy?

What exactly can your grandpa see?

I don't know

the specifics.

But my uncle once told me

the range of the electromagnetic spectrum is vast.

The range that human eyes can perceive

is roughly from 400 to 700 nanometers.

The parts we can't see isn't empty.

It's just that we can't perceive them.

Right here. Start digging.

Don't touch this!

This is

a Yan family matter.

Outsiders shouldn't interfere.

You've got good martial arts skills.

Go up there and keep watch.

Back in the day, treasure hunts

always attracted vultures.

We'd better be on guard.

Go.

Hongsha.

Hongsha!

Come here.

Hongsha.

Hongsha!

Come here.

Use human vitality to suppress the treasure's aura.

Take it.

Take it!

Take it.

Dig here.

Hurry.

Gently.

Tall trees, saplings, crooked trunks,

and ochre-colored trees.

What's the big deal about these?

Grandpa, I...

I can't keep digging.

I'm too scared.

Dig. Keep digging.

No!

If I could do it myself, would I need you?

Dig!

I won't!

I'm not digging. I refuse!

Hongsha.

What? Are you tired?

Well,

let me dig.

No! Don't.

Why not?

Don't dig.

Why?

There's a corpse down there!

Hongsha!

How could there be a corpse here?

What's going on?

You've been protecting us all the way.

You're practically one of us.

It doesn't matter if I tell you.

Well,

it was my own greed.

Back then, we formed a treasure-hunting squad

to explore the well.

Among all the members,

I was the only one who could read the treasure's aura.

After scouting several mountains,

I found it

right here.

A perfect well.

The treasure's aura was extremely strong.

And

there was a corpse inside.

Normally,

a corpse's vitality

should've suppressed the treasure's aura.

Yet it didn't.

It's evident how strong the treasure's aura is.

Maybe too much time had passed.

The corpse had decayed to bones.

Its vitality faded.

So it couldn't suppress the treasure's aura.

So I got greedy.

I told the them

the well was a dud.

And they just bought it.

Gem well?

Nine out of ten are empty.

If we had just left then

without doing anything,

it actually would have been fine.

But

what if another expert passed by?

They'd notice it.

I had to hide it properly.

I needed to come up with a plan.

Just then,

one of the members suffered from acclimatization problems

and died of a sudden illness.

So I buried him right in here.

Fresh corpses have strong vitality.

It could suppress the treasure's aura.

An old, vile practice among treasure hunters.

Vile!

It's absolutely...

Only fools would believe in that nonsense.

Shut up!

Hongsha.

Who do you think I did all this for?

For you youngsters!

You youngsters

are so disappointing.

You've made me have to...

Maybe...

Maybe it's because I'm getting old.

I regret what I did more every day.

So this trip isn't just

about leaving Hongsha something valuable.

It's about laying my friend

to rest properly.

After we take the treasure,

we'll send his family their share.

Your grandpa's right.

But

I'm afraid of corpses too.

It's up to you whether we dig or not.

My master often says

that it's all about fate

when one meets someone

and does something somewhere.

Since we're here,

we bury him right.

Call it karma.

What's wrong?

Someone's here.

There's someone nearby.

How many?

Let me see.

They're hiding behind the trees.

Can't tell.

How many?

I don't see anyone now.

Probably ran.

Too far to chase.

Treasure poachers.

Here to snatch the treasure.

Stop humming.

You'll attract things

with that noise.

Morale boost for the march.

Morale?

So annoying.

Come over here.

Found it.

This mark

is different

from the ones we saw.

When we carve marks,

we usually do it at chest-height.

Given Mu Dai's height,

it's impossible for her to reach this high.

And look, this carving is so deep.

Neither of us

could've made them.

Something's wrong in this mountain.

There are others

besides Mu Dai and her group.

Let's go find the marks Mu Dai made.

Careful. Here's the knife.

For me?

I'll leave my back to you.

Mu Dai!

The cave

is right below.

Get the ropes.

They're in your red bag.

Two of them.

Tie them tight.

On the count of three,

you two pull together.

One.

Two.

Three.

The...

The bones are gone.

Really.

Give me the rope.

I'll go down and take a look.

No, Grandpa.

Grandpa!

What was that?

Mu Dai!

You saw it too, right?

That thing with the fur.

Had to be two meters tall.

That's the savage, isn't it, Mu Dai?

Probably.

Such a huge size.

And it ambushed us.

Ordinary beasts can't do that.

Are we even safe here?

Get down!

Don't let him chase after us.

No, it had to be in the well.

How could the corpse just disappear?

Please, just forget

the well, Grandpa.

We just saw a savage!

Sir,

could someone else

have found the well

and removed the corpse?

Impossible.

I hid that well

so well.

Others simply couldn't find it.

And

even if they removed the corpse,

why would they

restore the well to its original state?

Who knows.

Your companion died of an illness.

Maybe he wasn't fully dead.

So he climbed out.

No way!

She had her throat cut.

Bled out all over that well.

How could she have just...?

Grandpa.

You said he died of an illness.

Where are you going?

To take a leak.

I'll go with you.

It's not safe for you to go alone.

No need.

How am I supposed to piss with you there?

Don't worry.

You two stay here.

Mu Dai.

My grandpa killed someone.

Didn't he?

He killed someone.

Maybe it's not what we think.

I'm not stupid.

He killed someone.

He is

a murderer.

It's raining outside.

Hongsha,

your grandpa's still out there.

Let's check on him.

Why bother?

He'll be fine.

He can even kill people.

Is this lamp about to be broken?

Sir?

What's wrong?

What was that noise?

Grandpa, get inside!

Grandpa!

Hongsha!

Hongsha!

Grandpa!

Grandpa!

Are you hurt?

Mu Dai.

Mu Dai.

Mu Dai.

Mu Dai.

Are you okay?

What a thrilling night.

Let's add an egg for my master

to calm and nourish her.

You swiped this from Zhama's place, didn't you?

What else did you swipe?

Just toss it all in.

Savages might carry bacteria.

I'll give you a shot later.

You're really prepared.

Obviously.

You're in the deep mountains.

Even without beasts,

there's tetanus

from falls.

I've checked your luggage.

No medicine.

No proper weapons.

But you do have plenty of food.

What are you here for?

A vacation?

Enough.

I'll check the noodles.

Hongsha.

We need to talk later.

Almost done.

Oh no, Chubby,

I've never seen Luo Ren this pissed.

Is he going to kill me?

You get an egg too.

Don't be mad at Hongsha.

It's not her fault.

Does it still hurt?

Let me see.

What's wrong?

Lower your head and let me see.

That savage dragged me by the hair

for a while.

Is it a strain?

Let me check.

It's quite bad.

What?

This patch

might not recover.

You'll have

a bald spot this big.

Bald?

I'm going bald?

It's okay.

Smart heads stay bare.

If you go bald,

it means you're getting smarter.

Normally,

you can just cover it up with the hair on the sides.

If that doesn't work, just wear a hat.

Why are you crying?

I was just kidding.

You're not bald.

You...

I pulled this off that savage.
