The Lost Tomb Based on the novel "The Lost Tomb" by Uncle Three Discipline

The jadeite figure, the jadeite figure!

I want to hear what I want to hear. Where did the jadeite figure come from? Is it genuine?

Why do you always do that?

That’s all the patience you’ve got?

Haste makes waste.

Soon afterward,

Lord Shang of Lu got a lot of health issues.

And one day, in his dream, Lord Shang of Lu saw the giant serpent again, and it said to him,

“We are all waiting for you in hell.”

He was so afraid after he woke up

that he sent for his advisor,

Iron-masked Scholar, for help.

Iron-masked Scholar?

Has this Iron-masked Scholar been introduced previously?

Nope.

It just mentions that this advisor was excellent at feng shui.

And he told Lord Shang of Lu,

“There was a kind of jadeite figure back in the remote ages.

And it could serve to rejuvenate and revive

whoever wore it.”

I dug countless imperial mausoleums and unclaimed tombs,

fought innumerable demons,

and acquired a myriad of treasures.

But in the end, I lost the heart of my beauty.

General, whatever you want,

I will try my best to get it.

We don’t have a general here, nor do we have an advisor.

Iron-masked Scholar, you are the only one I trust.

I need you to do something for me.

Ma’am, this way please.

This way.

Ma’am, your servant is in inconvenience to walk you further.

The supreme general is waiting for you in the corridor over there.

Daring you! You snuck into the duke’s palace.

I dare not only sneak into the duke’s palace, but also steal his concubine.

Yao Guang, I thought it through. I’m leaving with you.

Really?

His Majesty issued his decree: the supreme general shall set out immediately.

That’s strange. Why did His Majesty grow anxious all of a sudden?

Is he bearing the grudges about the little amount of treasures you contributed to him?

Oh no! I was looking for an opportunity to take Yao Guang away these days.

Now, His Majesty suddenly wants me to set out immediately.

If I go, things might become complicated.

But if I don’t,

I’m afraid it will arouse His Majesty’s suspicion.

I think I’d just go. But this time,

we must finish it quickly,

and come back as soon as possible.

Okay.

I’ve been nurturing you for so many years, and now finally, you can serve my purpose.

Greetings, Your Majesty.

Greetings, Your Majesty.

Greetings, my beloved concubine.

- Leave us. - Yes.

My dear, come. Please sit.

Make yourself comfortable.

Look what I have brought to you.

Do you like it?

Let me help you.

Take a look. Do you like it?

Gratitude, Your Majesty.

My dear, I haven’t met you for days.

Did you miss me?

Your Majesty, I certainly did.

Well, dear, I’m afraid who you missed

is somebody else.

Your humble concubine doesn’t understand what you mean, Your Majesty.

You don’t understand,

but you definitely understand the supreme general.

Your Majesty.

Your Majesty.

Your humble concubine...

If I’m not sure enough,

why would I say something like this ever to you?

You still want to trick me?

I beg your mercy, Your Majesty. I know it’s my fault.

It’s all my fault.

I... I seduced the supreme general first. He doesn’t know anything about this.

Yao Guang,

how naive you are!

Do you have any idea where your dear supreme general is?

When his plot was brought to light,

because he couldn’t outrun my eyes and ears,

he intentionally begged me for mercy, and swore he would never see you again.

And for redemption,

he’s already brought his people on a treasure hunt for me.

However, you try to cover things up for him,

and lie to me that you seduced him.

Do you know when he knelt in front of me, he said the same thing?

It can’t be. It’s impossible.

My dear Yao Guang, I gave you my ardent love,

but you gave your true heart to that heartless man.

What a pathetic terrible liar you are!

It’s impossible, no! No way!

Come back here. Where do you think you are going?

You are lying. I need to talk to him. I need to talk to him.

Let go of me.

- Guards! - Your Majesty!

Lock her up. Never let her out to the daylight again.

Yes, Your Majesty.

Let me out!

Let me out!

Let me out!

No, I can’t just do nothing.

Please enjoy your meal, ma’am.

Ru Yue, the soup is turning cold. Warm it for me.

Yes, ma’am.

Ma’am, you need to wash and get changed.

It’s getting cold today. I suggest you go to bed early.

Okay.

Ru Yue, this is the letter I wrote to the supreme general.

Find a way to deliver it to him.

His Majesty knows everything.

So I’m afraid he would do something bad to the supreme general.

If he asks anything about me, you just tell him I'm fine.

Do your utmost to avoid his anxiety. Do remember it!

My love, I’ve come.

Greetings, Your Majesty.

All right. My love,

I haven’t seen you for a while, and I’ve been missing you.

I kept you here these days because I wanted you to calm down.

Have you straightened your thoughts?

As long as you have, and come around,

I will let the bygone be bygone.

Your Majesty, you are drunk. Get some rest first.

My love, isn’t it all that I came here for,

a good rest, right?

Your Majesty! Your Majesty!

All of you, leave us.

Yes, Your Majesty.

Your Majesty!

My love.

Stop!

What is this?

Forgive us, Your Majesty. I don’t know what it is.

What is this?

- Guards! - Yes.

Behead this lowlife maid outside.

Yes, Your Majesty.

Your Majesty, please forgive her.

- Your Majesty, please forgive me. - I made her do this, Your Majesty.

Pardon her, please, Your Majesty.

Pardon her, please. I made her do this. She doesn’t know anything.

Pardon her, please, Your Majesty.

You trash, you still think you have the dignity to beg for mercy for her?

You abused my passion of love for you.

All you think about is your adulterer.

Well then, if he’s all that you think about,

it gives me all the reasons to kill him.

I am going to teach you that you need to pay for what you have done wrong.

Your Majesty, no!

Your Majesty, Your Majesty, I’ve learned my lesson. Your Majesty, I beg you not to kill him.

I’ve learned my lesson. I have.

I promise you, Your Majesty. I will never see him again.

Please grant him mercy on his life.

Go away!

Yao Guang!

Lord Shang of Lu used more than 3,000 men to chisel mountains for half a year,

and he found the mausoleum of the Western Zhou Dynasty where the jadeite figure was in.

And with some special methods,

Iron-masked Scholar extracted the male body from the figure and stored it in the stone coffin in the side chamber.

That’s the stone coffin in the chamber where we came in.

With Iron-masked Scholar’s plan

and the excuse of excavating tombs,

Lord Shang of Lu secretly built a fan-like ancient tomb

above the imperial mausoleum of the Western Zhou Dynasty.

And he even laid deceptive arrays everywhere, the Mysterious Seven-Star Coffins.

And then, for those involved in the construction project, he killed them all.

Report, General, a commoner girl wants to see you.

Ru Yue? Stand up, and talk to me.

Why did you run away from the palace?

Anything happened to Yao Guang?

Supreme General, the lady, she... She died.

She died?

She died from His Majesty’s violence. I saw it with my own eyes.

General, what are you going to do?

I’m going to kill that self-indulgent monarch to avenge Yao Guang.

General, please don’t lose your wit.

I’ve been working beside you for many years,

so I know what you are thinking.

But since what’s done is done, when you muscle your way back to the capital,

you will encounter His Majesty’s full military might.

Do you really think you can win?

Are you telling me to just swallow this insult?

What you cannot let go, General,

is only Yao Guang,

- But since she’s dead... - She can’t come back to life. I don’t need you to lecture me this.

No, General. I’m saying she can

come back to life.

Or at least, General, you should try it first.

If it fails, it will not be too late to avenge her either.

She can come back to life?

Iron-masked Scholar, are you really yourself?

General, can I talk to you in private?

Iron-masked Scholar, you said, “She can come back to life.”

What exactly did you mean?

I’ve been studying feng shui and metaphysics,

and in the process I learned that a jadeite figure has been passed down from the remote ages,

which can rejuvenate or even revive a person.

Now, since you miss Yao Guang,

I’m thinking, if her body isn’t damaged,

we can borrow the might from the jadeite figure,

and maybe it won’t fail us.

What’s your opinion, General?

Then where is the jadeite figure?

It’s in a chamber of the imperial mausoleum of the Western Zhou Dynasty.

With your ability, General, it’s never difficult at all to obtain the jadeite figure.

Do you really mean what you said?

Yao Guang!

Yao Guang! Yao Guang!

Hallucination?

General, are you doubting my knowledge?

Okay. I will try your method.

If Yao Guang can really come back to life,

you will have contributed me a great sum. Then, I will grant you lavish awards.

I have more to say.

Yes, the jadeite figure can revive her, but it wouldn’t be an instant magic.

I’m not certain about the time it will take. So you will need a secure location to

wait for Yao Guang to come back to life.

His Majesty owns the entire state,

so maybe we need to leave the State of Lu.

But if that’s what we’re going to do, I’m afraid it would take very long.

Yao Guang doesn’t have time.

Unless...

Unless what?

Unless after we get the jadeite figure, we don’t go anywhere

but stay right in the mausoleum of the Western Zhou Dynasty.

We prepare enough food and provisions, and we seal the entrance of the chamber.

Then, no one will disturb us.

I’m afraid that with so many people around,

somebody will certainly blow the whistle.

No. Dead men won’t talk.

Your Majesty, report.

I just received an urgent message.

The supreme general and his people suffered from a landslide inside the ancient tomb.

No one survived.

What? The mountain collapsed on them?

Your humble servant doesn’t know the detail. In the letter,

it’s just mentioned that on the mountain, a loud noise suddenly came,

and when the local folk searched the mountain,

they saw woods and rocks collapsed in many places

and the paths blocked.

The supreme general and his people had left absolutely no tracks.

They were afraid the accident had them.

Now over there,

is there anyone still searching for the supreme general?

Your Majesty, no one is searching for the supreme general anymore.

It was said that ghosts were making troubles in the tomb chambers,

so no one was willing to go onto the mountain.

And now with the landslide, they even firmly refused to do so.

It’s not bad either. My problem’s solved.

That’s perfect.

Then let’s call the mountain the supreme general’s tomb I endowed him.

Then, this brat did have done his homework.

And then?

- Nothing more. - Nothing more?

Don’t take me as that innocent. There are so many more characters there, and you told me nothing more?

I told you. I can only read a little bit of it.

Uncle Three,

as for that Iron-masked Scholar, he wasn’t mentioned on it?

Was he really offered as sacrifice?

He wouldn’t be that stupid, would he? He knew clearly Lord Shang of Lu would silence everybody by killing,

so he wouldn’t sacrifice himself.

He certainly wouldn’t. Because in the end, the person inside the jadeite figure

wasn’t Lord Shang of Lu anymore.

Yao Guang, fear not.

This time, I’m waiting for you. Be it a day,

a year, or a century,

I will be waiting until you come back to life

or I die.

My condolences, General. Over time,

Yao Guang will certainly come back to life.

What a valiant man you are, General!

Thank you for killing all of them

and removing all the unpleasant eyes and ears for me.

You...

Miss Beauty, I’m afraid I need you to remove

your jadeite figure for me.

But don’t worry.

I won’t let you rot with those mundane beings,

because you are still useful to me.

You are using the jadeite figure?

What about me?

Keep me safe

and wait for me.

Until I wake up,

I will continue to nurture you for another 1,000 and even 10,000 years.

Then, in the end, the two of them swapped their identities?

This man had nurtured his deliberate plan. He just took advantage of the influence of Lord Shang of Lu

to get immortality for himself.

Little Master, how did you know everything about it

like you experienced it yourself?

I’ve been to a tomb of the Song Dynasty. I read a complete silk manual of the Warring States period,

in which the autobiography of the Iron-masked Scholar was included.

After he taught Lord Shang of Lu all the plans,

he set a fire to burn his whole family,

and put the corpse of a beggar into the fire to fill his identity,

while he pretended to be the beggar and escaped death.

In the end, from Lord Shang of Lu, he obtained the jadeite figure,

and he put himself in it.

Lord Shang of Lu managed it for his whole life,

but in the end, somebody took it from him.

I’m afraid he didn’t expect it.

Then, where on earth is the body of this Lord Shang of Lu?

I don’t know. And there is no record in the book.

It’s getting dark. Let’s get out of here.

No. No. No. We haven’t got the afterlife seal yet,

so if we leave now, all our efforts will be in vain.

Right?

- You... - Besides, if her people

come back and find it, what then?

We are not after the afterlife seal. That’s nothing for us.

What we are after is much more important than the afterlife seal.

Never trust a woman. Do you, old fellow?

See?

I trust her.

You chose to trust her over me.

Wu Xie, you are too naive. She...

She just looks prettier than I, and you chose to trust her.

Okay, let’s put the afterlife seal aside,

and still, we need to take this with us.

Let me tell you. This thing is one-of-a-kind under the sun.

Right?

You know. Fatty only acts in the interests of the country.

To archeologists,

this thing is not an ordinary discovery.

Then what are we waiting for? Take this out ASAP.

ASAP. Yeah. Let’s do it.

There’s still time.

When it gets dark, we must leave, including you. We can’t waste too much time here.

Once the police are alerted, you can’t take this responsibility.

You guys just leave, and I will look for Ning alone.

- What petty kindness! - What did you say?

Liu Tai, don’t forget. We comply with the group,

not individuals.

This happens to be a perfect tomb chamber. It’s suitable for them here as well.

For five years, we’ve challenged death together,

and for five years, we’ve looked after each other, but I can’t believe in the end,

that I have to bury them myself.

They can’t come back to life.

I hope they can get to the Pure Land as soon as possible.

I wish you both peace.

Can you really do it actually?

It’s getting dark.

Patience!

What if we break it inadvertently?

Southern School guys, all impatient, ruin everything.

What are you trying to pretend to be?

You think I can’t tell your behavior is of the Northern School? All right then, you are of the Northern School.

And so what? You are still a thief.

Still pretending.

Who is a thief?

Who did you say is a thief?

Let me tell you. I came down to this tomb

seriously for the sake of academic studies, not to rob it at all.

Who came to rob this tomb? We didn’t come for that either.

Look, how long has it cost you? How long must we wait?

So, if you really can't,

just tell me, and let me do it. Watch and learn.

Go right ahead.

Do it.

Don’t touch that thread.

I examined. If you cut it, it will fall apart.

Obviously, that’s not viable either.

Try this side.

Don’t touch that one. One careless move will lead to collapse.

How are you?

This is a pretty tall tree,

so it will take you quite some strength.

You need to try hard. When we are out there, we will be safe.

Do you know

what kind of man Little Master is?

I don’t know him.

Then why did you guys run suddenly when you saw him last time in Inner Mongolia?

I just followed orders.

Orders? From whom?

If you guys aren’t here to rob the tomb, then what’s your purpose?

Quit asking. I won’t answer that.

Why did the ancients invent something so complicated?

Yeah.

I just don’t believe that side won’t work. The tricky part is where to start with.

Can’t you just hurry up?

Well, anxiety won’t help. What if I cut a wrong spot? Things will fall apart.

Okay, fine.

Mr. Three.

Look.

Tempting fate, huh? Let me help you get to hell.

Wait.

Hold still. It’s just the leading corpse-eater.

The leading one? So small!

It’s poisonous. It’s lethal upon touch. Run!

Yeah.

Of so many people here, why me? Why not Pan Zi?

Don’t go after him. Don’t do that.

Go after that female one. That woman. She’s not one of us.

Bad Fatty, what are you talking about?

No!

What did Poker Face just say?

- We have no time. - For what?

- Run! To the tree! - Oh, my!

Hurry!

- Come, Pan Zi. - Quickly!

Isn’t Little Master’s blood more effective than any pesticide?

Use it now.

The video signal’s back.

What place is this? Why is there a tree?

- Can you see Ning? - Hey, hey, Wu Xie.

Here.

Pan Zi, watch out!

Pan Zi, hang on. We can’t die here.

We won’t.

There is explosive over there.

Don’t use it.

It’s too much. It will kill us too.

Hurry. I can’t hold on much longer.

Pan Zi, hold onto my thigh.

What’s happening? Earthquake?

I don’t know. Whatever happens, we must leave on time.

It’s too dangerous down there. You will die if you go.

Wu Xie, are you all right?

More corpse-eaters.

Go!
