"THE LOST TOMB 2 - Explore With The Note"

"Episode 14"

Xie Lian Huan had little diving experience.

That brat...

had no control of his oxygen consumption.

It was terrifying.

He could've died from it.

What's the matter?

San Xing, look. Look at this!

This should be the coffin of the tomb owner.

I wonder who lies in it.

This is just a figurine.

Xie Lian Huan,

you coward.

Figurine?

I was scared to death!

But this figurine...

looks so weird.

It looks like it was screaming while being tortured.

San Xing,

this is a metal coffin.

This hole extends to the interior of the coffin, I guess.

This is a Whistle Coffin.

What?

It was sealed with metal and contains a hole.

It is definitely a Whistle Coffin.

So, something terrible must be inside.

It may even be a zombie or a demon.

That is why it was sealed with molten iron from the outside,

with nothing but an opening.

Allowing someone skilful to reach for the treasure inside.

If his hand was bitten by the thing inside,

he must cut his arm off from the outside.

Well, that's an interesting story.

But this is impossible.

The story passed on from...

our ancestors must have its purpose.

San Xing,

aren't you curious about the thing inside?

Let's go back...

to get the black donkey hoof and some candles,

and return tomorrow.

The coffin won't run away.

No need to rush.

You'd better just look at it. Don't touch it.

I'm going there.

What should I do?

What is going on?

San Xing,

I just threw a burning kindling inside to take a clearer look.

I didn't expect this to happen!

You're insane!

Where did you learn this cheap trick from?

It didn't even work!

Under a dry condition, the clothes on the corpse will burn,

let alone the body itself!

Can you use your brain?

San Xing, stop scolding me!

Let's put out the fire first!

You're really a trouble maker!

Why are you standing there?

Get some water!

Water.

I found it, I found it.

San Xing, calm down.

-The water's here. -Pour it in!

You brought wine instead of water when raiding a tomb?

Are you out of your mind?

Water.

Where can I find water?

Give it to me!

I'll deal with you later!

You brat.

What should I do?

Are you crazy?

It's out, it's out.

The fire's out.

Ghost whistling in a Whistle Coffin.

It's ominous.

You set it on fire, and then peed on it.

You're now officially its enemy.

San Xing, please don't scare me.

Demons and zombies are just creepy bluffs.

This is nothing but a coffin with a funny design.

Maybe the tomb owner was an artist.

He designed the coffin like this on purpose.

Never mind.

What's done is done anyway.

But nothing happened.

Maybe it's an empty coffin.

Consider yourself lucky.

San Xing,

isn't that gross?

You want to talk about hygiene in a tomb?

Just go home then.

What did you feel?

A ring!

It's a jade weight on its tongue.

-It won't burn easily! -Really?

Take it out then!

Come on.

Take it, quick.

Oh no, it's a trap!

Stay there, Xie Lian Huan!

Don't you move!

I'll take a look.

Don't go anywhere. Stay there.

San Xing, come back as soon as you can!

What trap is this?

How can it still move with all this rust?

Lian Huan.

Lian Huan!

Lian Huan!

Lian Huan.

Lian Huan, Lian Huan!

Lian Huan, Lian Huan!

Come out,

Show yourself if you dare!

Come out!

Come out!

That wretch!

That wretch!

Darn it!

I'm not afraid!

Either live free or die hard.

I'm not afraid to die at all!

There's not enough oxygen till we resurface.

But my stamina is better than yours.

Maybe I can get out alive.

As soon as I get out of here,

I'll send people for you right away.

But if I fail,

I'll stay in the water as fish food.

And you...

You can rest in the tomb.

Wait for me.

I swam in the dark ocean.

I kept swimming upward.

Just as I got out of the tomb,

the oxygen ran out.

I thought that was the end of it.

I was going to die.

And at that moment,

I saw a lot of ancient corpses...

passing before me.

As they were very near to me,

I saw that the corpses were...

mannequins made of bamboo.

They were coated with plaster,

and there was air within.

So,

I poked a hole...

and inhaled the oxygen.

I kept inhaling and inhaling...

until I managed to swim out of it.

I was thinking to myself,

who was it...

who was it that wanted me dead.

Under that circumstance,

other than your aunt,

I believed no one else.

What happened after that?

Well,

after that,

we found...

the body of Xie Lian Huan on the reef.

Maybe,

he wouldn't have died...

if you had rescued him right away.

What are you talking about?

Rescue him?

I was barely alive!

Tell me, how could I save him?

Tell me!

All right,

I was the one who caused his death,

happy now?

Uncle San Xing,

can you remember...

who attacked you?

Could it be Little Master?

Pardon me?

Little Master,

Kylin Zhang.

Uncle San Xing,

look at this.

Didn't he go down the underwater tomb with you?

Well, this guy.

He hasn't aged at all.

According to him,

he passed out in the underwater tomb.

And lost his memory afterward.

Something happened to his body too.

Until recently,

he recalled part of...

his memory in the underwater tomb.

Did he tell you the whereabouts of Wen Jin?

All you care about is Aunt Wen Jin!

He only mentioned...

that he passed out in a passage...

with a group of archaeologists.

Then he woke up in a hospital.

Nobody was beside him.

As for how he got out,

or reached the shore,

he remembered nothing of those.

It can't be him.

He's stronger than me,

he would've been able to kill me easily.

Shouldn't be him.

That makes sense.

It's still the same,

I suspect everyone...

except Wen Jin.

I believe no one else.

Uncle San Xing,

according to Little Master,

you imitated a woman combing hair...

in front of the monument...

in attempt to unlock Qimen Dunjia.

Is that true?

What?

Me?

Imitating a woman?

How's that possible?

Xie Zi,

whenever you keep a straight face,

you'll look fierce.

I suppose your follower...

must have been scared off by you.

He doesn't want his followers to be nervous,

so he always wears soft colors like pink,

claiming that it's about psychology.

To me, it's not very effective.

Those who are in charge...

need to be tough.

You should learn a thing or two from Xiao Hua.

He cultivated this toughness since young.

I couldn't do it.

I'm just a little gold fish by your side.

My mission is to blow bubbles and make you happy!

How many times did I tell you?

Your brain is like the gold fish indeed,

you forget everything I tell you in a blink.

Granny,

we've gained a lot while overseas.

Right?

Right.

Granny,

we've brought back the Snake Eye Copper Fish.

Please take a look.

Is this the one from the underwater tomb?

Yes.

When Gou Wu Ye brought along Uncle San Xing...

to apologize at our home,

this is what they offered.

Gou Wu Ye...

is best at these tricks.

Back then,

he brought his son along...

and got on his knees right away.

That attitude was sincere.

But what's the use of that?

It's been a long time ever since,

and there's still no leads on...

your aunt's whereabouts!

At least we found the copper fish.

Isn't this a lead?

Furthermore,

Wu Xie knows something about the underwater tomb too.

If we work together,

eventually we'll have a clue.

Silly girl.

Not all mysteries have an answer.

And the answers are not always the truth.

You all...

are young,

hopeful,

and ambitious.

You can be persistent.

If not, you'll become like me,

I'm already one foot in the grave.

I'm no use to anybody.

That's nonsense, granny.

How can someone as beautiful as you ever age?

Enough with your flattery.

Just go ahead with the investigation.

However,

you have to keep your distance with Wu family,

don't get too close with them.

One more thing,

don't endanger yourself,

are you clear?

Xie Zi,

I'm old.

I'm... really old.

I'm worried that someday,

my granddaughter...

My granddaughter...

Granny Huo,

rest assured.

I'll do my very best.

No,

he's lying.

Little Master?

Back then,

I was following them.

But it was too foggy,

I couldn't see what they were doing at all!

But Little Master had no reason to lie to me.

However,

I was discussing something with Fatty.

Little Master didn't actually see you.

He merely heard it from Huo Ling.

It was also Huo Ling who shouted out your name.

In that case,

either there really was a person who looked like you,

if not,

then Huo Ling must be...

What's that?

What about her?

It was so foggy,

anyone could look like me.

Why would she call my name?

So you also think that it's her problem?

My nephew,

for all the teachings I've given you,

what do you think is the worst in the world?

It's people's hearts.

You might think you've been through thick and thin together.

Nonsense!

Little Master has a lot of secrets.

I can't see through them even until now.

Uncle San Xing,

Little Master really has no reason to lie to me.

Are you trying to imply that...

I'm lying to you,

aren't you?

Look at me,

I'm going to ask you again.

Am I the one who's lying to you?

Uncle San Xing,

I really thought the person in the photo was you.

But Xiao Hua told me that he's Xie Lian Huan.

You look just like Xie Lian Huan, don't you?

They must've thought Xie Lian Huan was you due to the dim lighting.

Isn't that right?

No.

At that time,

Xie Lian Huan had already died!

If that's the case,

you still think that...

the problem lies in Huo Ling?

But she went missing too after that.

And Huo family couldn't find her after searching for so long.

That is why, dear nephew.

This will only cause more confusion...

the more you think about it.

Moreover,

you look clever,

but you're naive.

You believe anything that anyone says.

All right,

even if I wanted to prepare a back up plan...

and made you the scapegoat,

would that work?

What's the use of that?

Uncle San Xing,

making me a scapegoat?

That's just appalling.

I'm your nephew after all.

Me? A scapegoat?

Please,

just don't cause me any trouble.

It's been a while now,

it's time for you to leave.

How can you treat me like that?

What do you mean?

Do I need to prepare dinner for you?

Or let you smash another bowl of mine?

Isn't our relationship...

more valuable than these bowls?

Well said, very well!

Give me that porcelain vase.

I exchanged that with my own money.

I'll re-sell it for you.

Uncle San Xing,

I can't do that.

It needs to belong to the country.

You can visit the museum if you want to see it.

Why would Wu family...

raise a failure like you?

Uncle San Xing,

you must live long enough.

If not,

you ought to raise some cousins now.

You better not leave me...

with all your treasures.

If you give them to me,

I'll submit them all to the country!

What did you say?

Submit them to the country.

It hurts!

It hurts!

You're even thinking of...

getting my treasures now!

That's not it!

I'm telling you.

If I die,

I'd rather spend all the money,

even break all my treasures...

-than give them to you! -All right.

Scram!

You rascal.

Go up!

Why are you crouching?

Get under cover!

You scared the crap out of me!

No more hide-and-seek? Finally showing up, I see.

That's quick.

I have an uncle, you see.

Oh no,

you really donated it?

Look at your stubbornness!

You're really patriotic, aren't you?

If you put that porcelain vase here,

the price would at least double.

Oh my.

My interest...

is not on these relics.

On the contrary,

I like studying the story behind them.

Did you have a good talk with your uncle?

It's like I was in "Rashomon".

There are Tiananmen, Di'anmen,

Chaoyangmen and Guanganmen.

What's that Rashomon?

What my uncle told me...

and what Qiu De Kao said...

contradict each other.

Qiu De Kao said...

Uncle San Xing led him into the blood zombie tomb.

But Uncle San Xing said...

it was Xie Lian Huan who led Qiu De Kao there.

Qiu De Kao said...

he let Uncle San Xing sneak into the archeology team.

While Xie Lian Huan was already on the team.

But Uncle San Xing said...

Xie Lian Huan asked for his help to join the team.

And,

about the death of Xie Lian Huan,

this is what my uncle said.

He followed Xie Lian Huan to the underwater tomb...

and was attacked by a mystery man.

All of their oxygen in the tanks were released.

Xie Lian Huan was injured and passed out,

and was left underwater.

My uncle swam with his life...

and finally made it out alive.

But when he was about to rescue Xie Lian Huan the next day,

Xie Lian Huan was...

found dead on the shore.

Who do you think is telling the truth?

Emotionally speaking,

I would believe my uncle.

That means you don't really believe him.

There's one more thing.

I think that...

the Xie Lian Huan described by my uncle...

is an ambitious but mediocre man...

who aims only on petty profits.

But this isn't like the Xie family I know.

Bear in mind...

that if Xie Lian Huan didn't die back then,

he'd have been the master of Xie family now.

But...

based on what your uncle said,

we can't prove if he's telling the truth.

The man is dead,

isn't it?

The dead can't give an alibi!

Not necessarily.

If we insist on investigating Xie Lian Huan,

there are still many who know him.

If you want to keep on investigating,

the relationship with your uncle will be gone.

You're only getting yourself into trouble.

What's this for?

Why must you investigate something that's so long in the past?

I'm not trying to ruin my relationship with my uncle.

I just need to know...

the relationship between him and Qiu De Kao.

While we were overseas,

Qiu De Kao told me the incident of my grandpa...

in the blood zombie tomb.

But if those details...

weren't told by my grandfather himself,

he wouldn't have known that.

But as far as I know of grandpa,

he wouldn't have told Qiu De Kao this secret even if they were good friends.

Because...

that was a trauma to my grandpa.

He didn't even tell me that.

So, you're jealous because he told a stranger instead of you?

Yes.

Yes, that's it.

That's not it,

I'm serious.

There's another possibility,

my uncle was drunk and...

told him everything about my grandpa.

This seems like something he would do when he was young.

But if that's true,

that would prove...

Qiu De Kao was indeed working with my uncle,

not Xie Lian Huan.

That explains...

why Uncle San Xing...

met Qiu De Kao overseas.

It's because after all these years they still kept in touch,

and still work together.

I'm starting to feel bad for Xie Lian Huan now.

Died so young and with no body found.

And still lives to be your uncle's scapegoat.

Then again, your uncle might be telling the truth too.

In that case,

I would feel bad for your uncle.

Can I smack you?

What's the matter?

Fatty,

I came all the way to have a discussion with you.

But you've said every single contradiction.

What do you want me to say then?

Uncle San Xing is innocent?

All right then!

He's innocent,

he didn't do it.

Are you happy now?

All right.

I was wrong,

I won't cause trouble anymore, okay?

Cool it down.

Do you still have anymore of this self-heating hotpot?

Get me one.

I can't share this with you.

I stock these up for myself.

I'll share with you when new stock arrives.

I'll treat you to a Beijing specialty.

Come! Let's drink!

You barely drank any!

Come on, catch up!

Who's that, we're closed!

Is Fatty Wang there?

Fatty Wang of Panjiayuan.

Yes, I am! Come earlier tomorrow!

Fatty Wang,

I'm a friend of Guo Guo's.

He introduced me here.

He told me that you buy in things at a competitive price.

-Guo Guo? -And this is urgent.

Go ahead without me.

Fatty Wang.

What's the matter? Tell me.

Fatty Wang.

Come on in!

Close the door!

Mr. Naive,

get ready to feast your eyes on this.

Bronze bell!

Whose is this?

Come on,

sit down!

-Sit down! -Hello there.

-Sit. -Thank you, Fatty Wang!

It's all right.

Have you eaten?

Have some if you haven't eaten!

Thank you, Fatty Wang.

What's your name?

My surname is Ma,

you can call me Mr. Ma.

Mr. Ma? Sounds like you're our elder!

Ma will do!

Well,

you said Guo Guo introduced you here?

Guo Guo is my best friend.

Since you were introduced by him,

I will treat this seriously.

I'll buy this.

But I have to know its origin.

Well,

there's not much to talk about.

I retrieved this from a village.

There's no point brushing me off.

Fatty Wang,

this is definitely valuable!

Indeed it is.

But I have to know where you got it.

First, I have to know its origin.

With that in mind,

I'd be able to source a buyer for you...

if I can't keep it myself.

Secondly,

my friend here likes stories.

Here,

this is my offer.

-Really? -Let's begin!

All right,

I'll start then.

It's quite straightforward.

Three years ago,

I went to Qinling Mountains...

with one of my distant relatives.

We didn't have much experience on field survival.

And it was our first time trekking the natural forest.

In the end,

we walked in this remote forest...

for more than 10 days.

We were pretty lost,

and we had almost finished our rations.

I was about to break down.

As we kept on walking,

we reached a cliff.

Fatty Wang,

I'm not exaggerating it,

but the cliff was incredibly high!

It was more than 100 meters!

Lao Yang,

slow down.

Wait...

it doesn't feel right in here.

It gives me the creeps.

Could this place be haunted?

Stop scaring yourself!

There are only...

owls and monkeys here.

Nothing else.

Let...

let's head back now,

shall we?

There...

There's something up ahead.

Let's go!

Tell us a story, not make one up.

Fatty Wang,

I'm telling the truth.

Back at the cliff,

we also found...

a sacrificial altar from God knows which era.

There was a bronze tree on the altar.

The tree seemed like...

it grew out from underground.

I still feel creepy thinking back now.

I looked downward through the gap.

I swear I couldn't see the end of it.

As for the bronze tree,

it was roughly...

a 100 meters high.

Lao Yang,

look at the shape of these stones.

and...

the design of that flag.

This looks like...

Tibetan style.

That's nonsense.

We're on Qinling Mountains,

why would there be Tibetan-styled items?

Look at this,

the arrangement of the stones.

This must've been a stone gate.

Stone gate?

There must be something good in there.

Maybe.

Lao Yang.

What are these?

Lao Yang,

there's nothing good here.

Lao Yang.

What are you looking at?

This might be...

the sacrificial totem of a minority tribe.

Sacrifice?

Then there must be sacrificial tools!

That's a big altar!

Lao Yang,

we've found ourselves a fortune!

Oh.

Come on, let's have a look around!

We've found real treasures this time!

The treasures must be down there!

These past few days of sufferings are worth it now!

Lao Yang,

why did you touch that stupid tree?

Don't leave me digging alone!

We're going to split the gains,

help me out here!

Okay.

Lao Yang!

Get over here, quick!

Told you there'd be good things.

There must be more down there.

Let's dig them out!

There's one more. Hurry.

Must be more of where that came from!

Lao Yang, be quick.

I'm exhausted.

What's this?

Lao Yang,

what did you hit just now?

What's with the smoke?

I'll take a look inside.

No, stay put!

Do you want to die?

It might be dangerous in there!

I'll take a look inside.

Stay there!

The treasures we've gotten are enough to last us a lifetime!

We must go now!

You're not leaving, are you?

I can't stop you then.

Don't say that I didn't have your back.

I'm going now!
