"THE LOST TOMB 2 - Explore With The Note"

"Episode 20"

I only got to know them...

this time around.

I came to join the fun,

learn a thing or two.

But the two of them...

worked together previously.

They managed several big dealings...

and made good money.

The people they recruited this time,

Uncle Tai and Er Mazi,

actually specialize in this.

So you're the only innocent man.

I'm like the saying,

"a single slip may cause a lasting sorrow".

Luckily I met you, little lifesaver.

I reined the horse in at the brink of the precipice.

Pulled back before it's too late.

After Mr. Li died,

where did the Tombs Collection go?

Mr. Wang has it.

Old man,

you're lying.

How could you say that?

Little lifesaver.

Well, I am...

sincerely trying to befriend you.

Didn't you say that...

all of us...

will work together...

to get through hard times.

This...

I... It's true.

Everything I said is true.

All right then.

Let's go.

Does it still hurt?

Let me massage it!

You'll be fine after that!

Little Master!

The sound of water is gone.

Are we getting further...

from the watercourse?

This road heads downward.

Could it head straight to the center of the tomb?

That makes me wonder, Ms. Ning.

Flying all the way across the ocean,

just to torture ourselves here.

You should know...

this tomb very well.

Why do you look like...

you know nothing about it?

Ms. Ning.

Don't ignore me.

The only person who knew it is dead.

Do you think I'd believe that?

Back in the underwater tomb,

you were very well-prepared.

Why would you be so hasty this time?

Only one person knows...

and you know nothing?

This isn't your style.

I just came to have a look around this time.

I didn't plan to come in,

but that big fish ruined my plan.

You mean...

you have a team out back, huh?

Did he buy it?

This is a man-made path.

I think it was made...

during the tomb construction...

for trolleys and transporting stones.

Then we'll get to the tomb...

if we follow this road.

Save it.

Do you even know which one's the entrance and the exit?

There're only one road anyway.

It's all the same.

Is there the nest of another strange beast here?

Where's the noise coming from?

What are these?

Keep quiet.

Qian Zhi,

what's the matter?

Giddy up!

Are they human or ghosts?

Definitely not human.

They came out from the stone.

Otherwise that blade...

would have killed Little Master.

Is this what Mr. Naive and I heard in the village,

the ghost soldiers?

It's image capturing.

What?

It's just like the stone wall of The Forbidden City.

Someone saw...

the shadow of maidservant...

and eunuch from Qing dynasty.

Scientist proved that...

it was due to the magnetic field.

Some people happened to...

capture their images...

and project them at a certain time.

Some are in the form of sound, some images.

This phenomenon happened all over our country.

You're right.

I heard about it too.

If it happened in the Forbidden City,

how could I not know?

That happened because of thunder and rain.

Does it look like there's thunder here?

Or rain here?

Don't forget.

The magnetic field here is totally messed up.

Those people who passed by...

were suited in Northern Wei attire.

Maybe during Northern Wei period,

these people passed by.

And because of the magnetic field,

their images from the past were captured.

That's why we could see it.

That's right.

The leader earlier...

was wearing Northern Wei attire.

That look in their eyes...

was so daunting.

They definitely had fought through many wars.

God knows how many people they've killed.

I heard the mule would be scared when the horse gets beaten,

but why are you so scared?

You're such a coward! Move aside!

Little Master,

what's going on?

Let's go.

What the heck is this place?

After a long day of effort,

how did we end up in a graveyard?

What's wrong?

Old man,

you're such a coward.

That's not it.

When I was walking towards here,

I felt something chilly behind my neck.

Some... Something's blowing.

Look.

The torch has gone out.

It's so creepy.

It went out on its own?

It went out in a blink of an eye!

It's so creepy.

-It's so creepy. -Lao Yang.

No matter if it's real or not,

be careful.

This place...

is way too creepy.

We must be careful!

It's an intersection.

Which way should we go?

Left.

Right.

How do you know?

I...

Then please lead the way.

Sure.

Forget it.

We'd better listen to you.

Take the left.

I'm so old already.

I'd be better off walking behind you.

Boys,

don't you think...

this place seems familiar?

Are we back at the same place again?

We'll listen to Teacher Liang this time.

Let's go this way.

I told you to take this way.

Move. Don't get ahead of yourself.

Hurry.

We're back at the same place again.

Oh, no.

Could it be the spirits of these corpses...

be blocking our way...

and stopping us from getting out?

Is that right, old man?

As I see it,

we've been...

circling this place,

because of the...

coffin arrangement here.

I'm certain that someone...

must have applied...

some weird tricks here.

I'm sure you know...

Zhu Ge Liang's Stone Sentinel Maze.

He managed to trap hundreds of thousands...

of soldiers...

just by arranging some stones.

Trapping us with these coffin walls...

is just a piece of cake.

Don't make it sound so mysterious.

It's just a maze structure.

It's always a maze or a formation.

Enough is enough.

I don't mean to boast,

but if it's just a formation,

I can try to solve it.

But looking from the cliff,

this area is too big.

I'm not sure how long I'd need to solve it.

Old man,

what are you babbling about?

I say,

we should use this torch...

and burn this place down.

Then the path will an open road...

-awaiting us. -What are you thinking?

We'd burn ourselves as well.

We'd be burned to death or choked to death.

Let's go.

Where are we going?

There's only one path left,

where do you think?

Wait for me.

Wait up!

Hold on!

How did the fire go out again?

Something...

Something's in the wall.

Why would the wind come from the wall?

That... that's right.

Old man,

I told you you're a coward, yet you denied it.

It's true.

I'm not lying.

There really is something in there!

Over there!

Wu Xie, something's in there!

Amitabha, Amitabha,

Amitabha.

Out of all the things in the world,

why did I choose to explore this cave?

This time...

This time I'm really doomed.

I'm going to die in a strange land.

Old man, enough!

If you keep bawling, I'll dump you here!

Go back on your own!

Wu Xie,

what was that?

I didn't see it clearly,

but I did feel like something...

passed by behind me.

Could it be a zombie?

-Lao Yang. -Boys!

Don't frighten yourself.

Hurry and figure something out!

If there really are zombies here,

we might...

die with our bodies ripped apart!

My God!

My God!

Don't crush me!

Shut up, we need to kill that thing!

I can't hold it anymore!

I can't hold it anymore!

No way!

What's wrong, Wu Xie?

It's not moving anymore?

Is it dead?

I'll be dead if you keep crushing me.

Come.

Get up.

A rat?

No wonder we couldn't find it.

We lost it once it ran into a hole.

True.

It scared me to death.

Such a huge rat,

what kind of species is that?

Have you not heard about it before?

During the Sino-Japanese War,

there was a Japanese army in northeast called...

Unit 731.

They purposely cultivated a virus...

and raised the rats.

The rats were enormous!

Could this be bred by virus too?

It could have...

lived off the corpses.

Not much different from being bred by virus.

Look.

What did you see?

Don't touch the coffin!

Be careful.

Okay.

Careful.

What's in there?

What did you see?

Big mutated rats.

Big mutated rats?

Then... then don't disturb them.

Let's get out of here!

Wu Xie.

Wu Xie.

Let's leave this place.

Let's go.

Wait up!

Come.

This way.

Wu Xie,

where should we go next?

-Let me think. -I can't go any further.

I really can't go any further.

I think it'll take us a while...

before we make it out of here.

Let's take a break.

Do you have any water? Give me some.

Give me some.

So troublesome.

There.

Old man,

what are you looking at?

Have you lost your mind from all those scares?

Are you going to put those...

broken bones together?

Let me tell you.

I've discovered a secret.

Come. Come here.

Look.

Do you notice anything?

Just get to the point, old man.

I won't tell you only.

Little... little lifesaver!

Little lifesaver!

Come here and see.

Stop shouting, just spit it out.

Hurry up.

Look.

Look at how clean the cut is.

It's a human collarbone.

It's caused before death.

Look.

It's sharp, isn't it?

This means...

the healing of the wound...

was impeccably close...

to the time of death.

How...

How is this a secret?

Let me finish it first.

This wound...

should be the man's...

cause of death.

I'm guessing that the wound is here...

because...

he was knifed on the upper collarbone,

and it slashed through his carotid artery.

A brutal blow.

So,

it struck straight into the bone.

So all you want to say is...

this man...

was killed by a single slash.

That's not all.

Just now,

I've taken a good look.

Many corpses here...

were slashed to death like this.

Normally,

during the ancient sacrificial ritual,

the victims would kneel...

in front of the sacrificial objects,

while the priest would cut their throats from behind.

In this situation,

such a cut...

wouldn't leave a mark on the collarbone.

These people before us here...

were slashed from the front.

So I reckon,

these people died...

in a battle.

Old man,

so be it!

How's that a secret?

This is just...

the beginning of the big secret.

The highlight is yet to come.

Little lifesaver,

take a look at this.

Bronze armor?

That's right.

And it's the armor style...

from the Post-Han dynasty.

Look at this one.

There isn't any lining.

So it's an armor for summer.

This man died during summer.

The oddest part is...

this one. Look.

It's silk.

That's right.

You're a bright man.

You could tell from just a glance.

Silk, armor...

These were used by the Hans.

Why are these...

in the Serpents' sacrificial tomb.

If I got it right,

what's within...

isn't some sacrificial tomb,

but an ancient battlefield.

From the way I see it,

the corpses here...

are of two different parties.

One is the guards of this ancient tomb,

the other is the Han dynasty army.

The Mute Riders?

That's right.

I'm betting that the Serpent tomb guards...

led them here.

With the complex structure of this maze,

they destroyed the Mute Riders in one fell swoop.

Let's split up. Be careful.

All right, move out.

Old man.

How did the Mute Riders...

get out in the end?

I haven't figured out so far.

Then why don't we do as I say.

Let's burn this place down.

As long as we cover our mouths and noses,

and be careful,

-we'll make it out. -Okay.

Keep that thought.

From how I see it,

we're only stuck here in this maze,

because we've lost sense of direction.

You got that?

The reason why we've lost sense of direction...

is because we cannot...

determine a further linear distance.

If we can determine...

the correct direction,

it wouldn't matter how complex the maze is,

we'd still get out.

How's that possible,

my dear lifesaver.

In this environment we're in...

We...

We'll go dizzy if we go round in circles.

How can we even go straight?

Lao Yang.

Signal flare.

Let's go.

Wait!

Wait for me!

Hurry.

Lao Yang!

Are you all right?

Hurry!

I can't run any further.

Lao Yang!

Retreat!

Hurry, hurry!

What was that?

It's burning so fast!

Corpse oil.

The soil is soaked with corpse oil.

Run for your life!

Get back here!

What is it?

Wu Xie, are you insane?

What are you researching now?

Look!

The coffin's moving!

Is there a secret passage?

Fire!

Hurry!

Hurry up!

It exists!

Lao Yang.

Teacher Liang!

Give me a hand!

I'm on fire!

My butt's on fire!

How did you catch fire?

-My butt's on fire! -Turn around!

Why are you the only one on fire?

You must've done...

too many sins.

Stop your nonsense, let's go!

Hurry!

Little lifesaver,

have you figured out a plan?

Just intuition.

Let's split up and search!

The movable coffin...

must be around the intersection.

Found it!

This...

How did we...

end up in another dead end?

Wu Xie.

This coffin won't budge.

Now we're really doomed!

Wu Xie, what are you doing?

My dear lifesaver,

stop playing around with the coffins.

Figure something out.

What should we do...

if the fire catches up?
