"THE LOST TOMB 2 - Explore With The Note"

"Episode 4"

Wait a minute,

the coffin should be put in the rear hall.

Why is the coffin in the side hall?

Moreover, it is a basin coffin.

Basin coffins are from the Warring States Period.

So...

this tomb isn't from Ming dynasty?

King Lu's Seven Star Palace!

King Lu's Seven Star Palace...

is a tomb from Warring States Period.

In both tombs,

Copper Fish with Snake Brows were found.

So, what's the connection...

between them?

Here you are.

The paintings are...

about a group of people working on a construction site.

What kind of construction was that?

Clearly, this is an official uniform of Ming dynasty.

So, does this tomb belong to Ming dynasty...

or the Warring States Period?

Stuffy?

Fatty?

Are you all right, Stuffy?

Just worry about him. No need to worry about me.

Are you all right, Little Master?

I'm okay.

My grandma doesn't care about me and neither does my uncle.

I was only raised by my stepmother.

-What happened to your hand? -Nothing.

It was a white-haired Drought Demon.

What? That thing was the Drought Demon?

Drought Demon?

The "Classic of Poetry" mentioned that,

When Drought Demon runs amok, drought shall follow.

I thought it was just a myth.

But it actually exists!

Some say, it's a demon that can cause a global drought.

Some say,

the corpse will turn into Drought Demon,

if they're nourished for too long.

It was really an eye-opener to see it.

By the way, Dummy Zhang.

Why didn't we just let it...

have a tasty... tasty... taste of bullet back there?

We can kill it...

by beheading it.

However, large amounts of ptomaine...

will be emitted.

We don't have much oxygen to spare.

It's not worth it.

Well, we're at a different chamber again.

Right,

I think we were wrong about the elevator-like mechanism.

It's g-g-good to know your own mistake,

why don't you try to analyze again?

Are you okay?

I'm fine.

The painting on this urn...

showed how the tomb owner supervised the construction.

See,

the apparel is from the early Ming dynasty.

He was wearing gauze cap...

and narrow sleeves.

It means the tomb owner...

might be a noble.

Or...

he could be...

an honorable architect at that time.

He must've been good at feng shui and pseudoscience.

Only with that,

could he have built an underwater tomb.

And only someone like that,

could create such elaborate things...

in his own tomb.

Hey brother urn,

you were our free tour guide just now,

now you gave us information of our tomb owner.

You are such a selfless comrade.

What a shame. If only I could take you home,

and exchange you for a bunch of cash,

that'd be perfect.

Stop interrupting.

If we follow this thought,

in Ming dynasty...

Early Ming dynasty, to be exact.

Such a skilled craftsman was rare.

And he must have been a great man...

to own such a big underwater tomb.

I can only think of one person...

who fulfills all the criteria above,

Wang Zang Hai.

The one who built Ming Palace?

He didn't just build the whole Ming Palace,

but also a few major cities at that time.

It only took him one word...

to make a city completely vanish from this world.

By the way,

I read one of his feng shui books...

when I was looking for Chinese classics.

The contents were so hard to understand,

it was like taking a peep at the mystic arts.

So does that mean you can be the second Wang Zang Hai,

now that you've taken a peek at the mystic arts.

To him, it may have been mystic arts.

But to me, the book itself is a mystic bible.

It is said that...

it was him who designed Shen Wan San's underwater tomb...

beneath Yinzi Bang of Zhouzhuang.

He must be really wealthy to make himself a tomb like this.

Wait, these are all your speculations, right?

Do you have any solid evidence?

Dare to assume,

but prove wisely.

If this is really Wang Zang Hai's tomb,

then it'll be an unexpected gain.

Of course it's an unexpected gain.

I'm sure San Xing and his archeological team...

were not the only ones who had been here.

Look at that looting hole,

other raiders must have been here before.

That looting hole...

does look unique.

It even made its way to this pond.

I think,

this pond might just be an exit.

Maybe the guy who drilled this tunnel...

didn't know the location of the main chamber.

So he just drilled holes at random possible locations.

One of them is in the pond,

another one is under this coffin.

I didn't see any branches in the tunnel,

it's just a one-way path.

There are so many bricks inside.

It would be really convenient...

to cover some holes with them.

You guys might've exited too quickly,

and you overlooked it.

Think about it.

One end of it is linked to the pond,

another one is under the coffin,

then where did he start digging?

I can only say, he was horribly unlucky.

He hit the coffin weight when he was digging to side chamber,

got to the pond when he was digging to the sub-chamber.

He got the short end of the stick.

Any water left? I'm thirsty.

It's already finished.

Why didn't you bring your own?

But you're here, right?

Didn't you bring more? I thought you did.

Hurry up.

Be patient.

Here.

I've done poison testing.

Take it or leave it.

Amazing.

What kind of technology is this?

Can you give me one?

Just take it,

I'll give you a hundred of this if we make it out of here.

Nice.

Do you think the Drought Demon can swim?

It's probably not the Sea Monkey.

Now there's a staircase.

I can't see anything with this heavy fog.

Hey, check this out.

There seems to be some carvings.

These are drain holes, aren't they?

Did you see that?

it's a monument over there.

Wow,

you have good eyesight.

I trained my eyes...

like Mei Lan Fang, staring at birds all day.

Stop bluffing.

Can you see what's written on the monument?

Easy peasy.

Fatty,

wait for the fog to be gone first.

Then how long should we wait?

It's okay.

Follow me.

Come here.

There's English here.

There can't be English in the tomb.

My English is not good,

but I know all the 24 alphabets.

This is English for sure.

There are 26 alphabets.

It's so obvious, like peas in a bowl.

See?

It's really English.

No wonder there's no valuable stuff in here.

The foreigners took them all.

Just because it's in English, doesn't mean it was a foreigner.

Alphabets are easier to write than Chinese characters.

And these are acronyms.

These writings are sloppy.

Someone must have carved it out of urgency,

as a reference for those who come later.

That makes sense.

It should've been carved around 20 to 30 years ago.

Could it have been your uncle?

Impossible.

His English is not any better than yours.

I reckon it's one of the archeological team members.

No matter who wrote this,

what do you think he was doing here?

Could there be any treasures here?

Fatty,

when will you change?

Everyone has their hobbies.

I like antiques and I just can't help it.

I'm worried that the water level might increase again.

Let's go back up.

Floating is definitely faster than running.

Are you out of your mind?

Let me tell you,

When the water speed and volume hit a certain peak,

it will cause a big impact.

If you were hit by the water and you fainted.

You won't stand a chance, even if you are a good swimmer.

Such a coward.

No wonder Mister San Xing wouldn't let you enter the tomb.

He has spoiled you.

Should've let you slept at the graveyards for a day or two...

to build your courage.

So you are brave?

We're here to look for Uncle San Xing,

not for treasures.

Besides, Little Master is still here.

I can't leave him.

We have to avoid all risks.

So what?

I'd be at the vanguard if I was in the ancient army.

Yeah, right.

But recklessness is not a good thing.

I think I had been here before.

Little Master,

what have you found?

Little Master.

Hey, didn't you say not to take risks?

Little Master!

Slow down, Little Master!

Little Master!

Where are you, Little Master?

Just go on! Are you scared again?

Be careful.

Watch out for the holes underwater.

Don't step in there.

I already did!

You should've told me earlier!

Hey, where are you?

Enough, let's go.

Is it deep?

Be careful.

I'm fine, let's go.

Sea-calming monkey statue.

Little Master,

what have you found?

Long time no see.

Hey, little comrade,

come here,

translate this.

It says...

that the owner of this tomb had built a Heavenly Palace.

The door to the Palace...

is hidden inside this stone monument.

If you are the right person,

the door will open for you...

and lead you to the Heavenly Palace.

These words look like allegory to me.

Different people would have different understandings.

Maybe the Heavenly Palace and its door is just a metaphor.

A secret must be lying in this monument.

What door? All I feel is the smooth rock.

You are not the right person,

of course you can't see the door.

As long as I can see the buried treasures.

Little comrade, take a look at this.

Look at this.

Did someone really go to the Heavenly Palace...

through the monument?

Fatty,

look around and see if there's any clue left by the archeological team.

Uncle San Xing said,

he did not take any dive gear with him when he left.

Could it be...

that he had really gone to the Heaven Palace?

Where on earth is he now?

These are all rubbish down here.

What a waste of my time. A flash in the pan.

Fatty,

I'm worried that the water level will rise again.

Let's go back up.

We're too far from the surface.

It's too dangerous.

Stop scaring yourself, will you?

What's that sound?

What? Is something in the water?

Could it be the Sea Monkey again?

As long as it's not the Drought Demon.

I think we better go up.

Not searching anymore?

Yeah, I quit.

Little Master,

let's go back!

He's gone again?

-Stuffy! -He just comes...

and goes as he likes.

Is he retarded or what?

Little Master.

-Stuffy. -It's too hazy here.

What's the PM2.5 reading here? Jeez.

Stuffy!

Dummy Zhang?

Dummy Zhang.

Stuffy!

Dummy Zhang!

Little Master!

Dummy Zhang.

Little Master.

Stuffy.

We meet again.

What are you doing? Self-reflection?

Little Master.

Little Master,

what's wrong?

I remember it now.

I think I had been here before.

Sister Wen Jin, look.

Xu Qiang,

have you done the report that Chen Wen Jin asked for?

I'm going to write...

about the pattern-change on blue and white porcelain.

Why don't we team up?

The content is quite strange.

You write.

It's not an easy job...

to finish it alone.

Well, let me think about it.

Huo Ling,

San Xing is still asleep,

don't wake him up.

I'm sorry.

Come take a look.

Something's on the base.

-What have you found? -What?

Let me see.

I know this.

This is the markings of Ming porcelain.

It represents its place of origin.

No.

The markings of Ming porcelain doesn't look like this.

This might be...

the inscription that indicates the owner's identity.

Zhou Yuan,

I think we better write our own thesis.

I'm worried about your standard.

Marking inscriptions should be in 4 characters,

don't you know that?

There's only one character here,

and it's a rare one.

What you said is impossible.

I haven't seen properly,

what's your problem?

You can't examine it alone.

Stop it.

Let's study it together, and improve together.

What are you guys doing?

-It's an artifact. -Let me have a look.

Enough!

You both are smatterers, who only know how to bluff.

Give me that. Let go.

Let go.

Kylin,

take a look.

What is this?

Can you don't brush me off?

Look properly and answer me.

What is it?

There are some symbols under the porcelains in the side chamber too.

I thought they were just some decorations.

Then, I realized none of them were the same.

There seemed to be a regular pattern.

So I think,

they might be some kind of coding.

And,

the painting on those porcelains...

should carry a purpose.

Look.

It's so symmetrical.

Splendid.

What do these codes mean?

I don't understand.

How did he figure it out?

The yellow one looks nice.

This one.

The bottom of this vase is different from the others.

I think it means something.

What do you think?

Look.

Kylin,

did you arrange them in numerical order?

It's true!

The shape of these patterns...

really do look like numbers.

How strange...

to see coding on grave goods!

Maybe it's just a coincidence. It could mean something else.

But he mistaken that for a code.

True.

Then what are these markings for?

Is this a palace in the heaven?

What does it mean?

Could it be some kind of symbolism?

You can't build a palace in the sky anyways.

Could it be a myth?

Look!

There's a Taoist priest here.

Does this Taoist priest refer to Lu Dong Bin?

Oh, this is about how he became immortal!

-I don't think so. -No way.

Take a look at the apparel,

they should be from early Ming dynasty.

And the building process...

is in sequence too.

It can't be the ancient people really...

built a palace in the sky.

I think she's read too many myths.

She sure did.

A little cuckoo there.

Legend has it,

that Zhu Yuan Zhang wanted to build...

a magnificent and unprecedented palace.

He ordered Wang Zang Hai to do it.

And,

Wang Zang Hai really did it.

In the sky?

Impossible!

It's said that he used...

a giant kite.

And he spent a lot of money.

Finally,

he made a magnificent,

splendid illusion of the Heavenly Palace...

to please the Zhu Yuan Zhang.

Zhu Yuan Zhang wanted a palace,

but he gave him a kite.

I'd be pissed if I were Zhu Yuan Zhang.

I'll kill him like General Yuan Chong Huan.

Sentence him to a death penalty by slowly slicing him 3543 times.

He cheated the Emperor!

Come on, it's just a legend.

Little Master,

then what happened after that?

I thought there'd be more clues...

in the coffin at the rear hall.

So I suggested to keep moving.

No.

San Xing is the only one who has ever entered a tomb.

But he's resting now.

We can't act on our own without him.

Wake him up then.

He's exhausted from taking care of us all this way here.

Shouldn't we let him take some rest?

Kylin Zhang!

Don't worry,

I can take care of myself.

How?

Have you ever gone to a tomb?

Please think of the others,

if you don't care about yourself.

I will.

I'll be back in a minute.

You can't go!

One of us is dead already.

What should I tell the leaders if something happens to you?

Thank you.

-Did Wen Jin agree? -Where is he going?

What are we waiting for? Let's go.

Wen Jin,

my report is about the pattern change research of blue and white porcelain,

and to research is why I came.

Plus, the pattern change...

of the porcelains here are incredible.

So guys...

I'm sorry.

I want to go too.

We are a team, we can't act alone.

Yes, you are right.

If all of you want to go,

let's go together.

-Great! -Let's go.

Sister Wen Jin,

should we wake him up?

Forget it.

He is a hothead.

He'll definitely argue with Kylin...

if we wake him up now.

Just let him sleep.

Let's come back as soon as we can.

Okay, I'm going first.

Be careful.

Slow down.

I'm so scared.

What were those things?

It's okay.

We've gone through that. It won't come back.

Hands off.

I said hands off.

You guys are older than Kylin,

but why are you such cowards?

There's nothing scary.

Let's go, stop scaring yourself.

Exactly!

I'll scout for you.

Zhou Yuan, don't run around.

Monster!

There's a monster!

Stop shouting.

There's no such thing as monsters.

It's just some metal particles in the fog.

It can create some illusion...

under the light.

All these are normal scientific phenomenons.

Stop scaring yourself.

So, this is the monster you were talking about?

I just didn't see properly.

This is stunning!

This breaks the tradition of a typical Chinese burial.

This site might just be a new milestone in archeology!

Totally!

This is a major discovery.

Once this is made known,

we will be famous!

-You're right! -That's amazing!

Xiao Mei.

Enough.

Don't waste time here,

let’s go back.

Sure, let's go.

Watch your step.

Wait up.

Kylin is not here yet.

He must be too fascinated.

I'll call him.

Kylin!

Hurry up, we're waiting here!

Kylin Zhang.

Kylin Zhang!

Let's go have a look.

Kylin Zhang!

Kylin!

What's wrong?

He's going to get us killed.

What's that thing over there?

Kylin!

What are you doing there?

Come here!

He's too close with that thing.

He won't be able to run...

if something really happens.

What should we do?

We can only stay still for now.

We just stay here?

Unless if you want to flee alone?

No...

But..

he's going to get us killed.

Stay calm.

I remember that's where...

the sea-calming monkey statue is located.

By the height of it,

could there be something standing on it?

I remember that's the monkey statue.

But what's that standing on it?

Could it...

Could it be the monster...

that followed us when we came in?

What?

Or the zombie that Wu San Xing mentioned?

Stop it!

Stay calm, everyone.

This is an underwater tomb.

It's been isolated for centuries.

It looks like individual reefs from up above.

But it's actually a mountain range under the sea.

If Wang Zang Hai is really buried here,

it means he lacked the water element in him.

With the undersea mountain range,

all the good wind and qi are drawn in.

The dragon head at the east, tail at the west.

Zombie won't exist on a land with such good feng shui.

It has to be either human or animal...

if it's not a zombie.

As long as it's a living thing, we outnumber it.

Could it be Wu San Xing?

He must've realized we were gone after he woke up.

So he came here to scare us.

You know him well,

isn't that how he always is?

Oh, come on!

He's scaring me to death.

Wu San Xing!

-Stop fooling around! -Hush!

The girls are crying already!

Could it really be San Xing?

Be careful!

You guys wait here,

I'll call Kylin.

Huo Ling!

What are you doing, Kylin?

Wu San Xing?

What the heck are you doing?

Are you hurt?

Kylin Zhang!

Guard the staircase,

don't let him pass!

Where's San Xing?

Where is he?

What's happening?

The pond itself...

is a huge trap.

Another layer of wall is rotating slowly...

behind this door.

A rotating wall?

Is it a revolving restaurant?

Based on my experience,

this mechanism must be running on the simplest theory.

Why?

Regardless of the material quality of...

an ordinary nimble spring or crossbow mechanism,

after a hundred years,

or maybe a thousand years,

it will eventually rot.

So,

the mechanism which normally traps those tomb raiders,

will be the simplest anti-robbery sand wall.

You are right.

Once they dig deep enough,

tons of quicksand will fall.

They will either be suffocated or crushed.

But there's both pros and cons.

Once I start digging,

I can locate the tomb judging from the flow of quicksand.

And I could drill through 12 layers of blue bricks,

and get to the main chamber.

Do you believe it?

But of course,

it's nothing to be proud of. I get it, okay?

I think Wang Zang Hai...

used the movement of the tides

to operate these traps.

It will keep working...

as long as the sea doesn't run dry.

You know what, all the talk about pseudoscience...

is just about humans fighting against nature.

But Wang Zang Hai went the opposite way.

He made use of the geographical advantages.

It's massive and well-rounded.

What a great defense system.

Hey,

you smart guys think too much.

You'll start losing hair, you know?

Dummy Zhang,

did you find the trapdoor...

that Uncle San Xing mentioned?

In fact,

I found 8 of them.

Eight trapdoors?

Qimen Dunjia?

Wow, Qimen Dunjia..

I don't know about it.

Tell me something, smarty.

Qimen Dunjia...

I don't know much about it,

but some say it has a long history.

It's as old as China's recorded history.

The first person...

who used Qimen Dunjia...

was our ancestor, Yellow Emperor.

That'd be 5,000 years ago.

Qimen Dunjia...

had 4,320 styles in the beginning.

When it was passed down to Yellow Emperor,

he kept only 1,080 of them.

When it got to Zhang Liang, there were 72 styles left.

Then, Uncle Er Bai...

only managed to find 42 styles.

That's quite an accomplishment, okay?

Because generally people only know of 18 styles.

My uncle found the rest in a tomb from Han dynasty.

So, who created this Qimen Dunjia?

The Yellow Emperor was the first, but he got only over 1,000 styles.

It must've been inherited or lost.

So...

he shouldn't be the first one who got it.

In short,

Qimen Dunjia is a military strategy and numerology study.

Also called, the Eight Formations.

It contains 8 gates with prosperity, pleasure, life, death,

fright, injury, shelter, visionary.

Only Life Gate leads to live,

while Death Gates leads to death.

You'll see another Eight Gates again,

if you enter the others.

Like a cycle.

Class dismissed! Goodbye, teacher.

Just tell me which door I should enter.

About this,

I don't know.

These walls keep rotating,

The 8 trapdoors are always moving too.

I can't tell which one is the Life or Death Gate.

It'd be dangerous if you take the Death Gate.

Which door did you enter then?

Why did Wu San Xing go into the trapdoor?

Should we follow?

Kylin said some of the doors are traps,

we'd die if we take the wrong one.

Well, he must've entered the real exit,

we just need to find that door.

How can you be sure that's the exit?

Maybe he is already...

Sister Wen Jin,

I didn't mean it.

Please don't be angry.

I've found it.

Come over.

What is it?

Do like this.

Can you see it?

Can you see it?

Your position is too high,

go a bit lower.

Don't look at your face.

Touch your sideburns,

here.

We thought San Xing was combing his hair,

But he was adjusting the angle and height.

In this monument,

there's a mechanism which moves as fast as the wall.

That's why the logo moved.

The position it's facing,

should be the exit.

Hold your torchlight, I'm going to comb my hair.

Where are you going?

Looking for the exit.

For what?

Can we get out of here if we find the exit?

Then why is it called an exit?

But the Heavenly Palace is in there.

What's wrong, Sister Wen Jin?

Nothing.

Stay close, everyone.

Okay.

It's so beautiful!

Oh my god!

Good heavens.

This is a paradise!

Oh my god, this is so magnificent!

Can't believe there's such a beautiful place in this ancient tomb.

Unbelievable!

Agreed.

This is an entire piece of Phoebe Zhennan log!

Impressive!

Look at that.

Look!

It's the Luminous Pearl!

It's gorgeous.
