"THE LOST TOMB 2 - Explore With The Note"

"Episode 21"

My dear lifesaver,

stop playing around with the coffins.

Figure something out.

What should we do...

if the fire catches up?

Wu Xie, what are you doing?

Wu Xie.

What are you doing?

It's opened!

We're saved!

Come on!

It's our way out.

Amitabha.

When one door shuts, another opens.

Little lifesaver,

you're my great savior.

You should thank those rats.

Stop buttering him up.

Let's get out of this place.

Okay.

We're saved.

We're finally free.

Lao Yang?

Teacher Liang?

Lao Yang!

Wu Xie!

Wu Xie!

Lao Yang!

Lao Yang!

Oh my god.

What is this place?

Glasses.

Wu Xie!

Wu Xie!

Wu Xie!

Lao Yang.

Wu Xie.

Lao Yang.

Are you okay?

I'm okay.

What about you?

I'm fine.

I'm fine.

What's wrong?

I'm fine, I'm fine.

Little lifesaver,

where are you guys?

That must be Teacher Liang.

I'll go find him.

I'm an old man.

Don't leave me here...

all alone!

Where are you guys?

Old man.

Aren't you a little bit overdramatic as an old man?

-Little lifesaver. -Teacher Liang, are you okay?

There you are.

I was so scared.

Where are we now?

Where are we...

Are you hurt?

No...

I'm fine.

Come, let me give you a hand.

Oh my...

It's so huge.

That explains why no matter how long we dug,

we just couldn't reach the top.

Let me borrow it for a while.

Haven't you noticed?

This tree is made of bronze.

A truly extraordinary craftsmanship.

Astounding workmanship.

A heavenly creation.

Is this the...

trunk of that bronze tree...

that you discovered back then?

That means...

this tree grew up to the top.

Which is also the one...

that you and Mr. Ma found.

Could this be built by...

the Serpents?

I don't think so.

It's a gigantic bronze tree.

They wouldn't have this kind of...

smelting technology in the past.

Then... then who built this?

Where did it come from?

Could it be...

grown from hell?

Bullshit.

Think about it.

We came in this Underworld through the Yellow Spring.

Where else could it possibly grow from...

other than hell?

Boys, come down here!

There are traces of excavation down here.

Should be the Serpents...

discovered this bronze tree...

when they were constructing the tomb.

But I'm not sure...

how deep it goes if we keep digging.

Lao Yang?

Lao Yang.

What are you thinking about?

I don't know.

Just that maybe we should...

climb up there?

Did you really think you were a monkey?

Come on.

Something doesn't feel right with this tree!

You must be careful!

How is this a dead end?

Since the construction of the tomb was completed,

the rocks were all in place,

wasn't it normal to seal the way out?

What should we do now?

Great idea.

Hang on.

You want to use that inside a tomb?

Are you guys amateurs?

The type that tries to get yourselves killed?

Go ahead and use it.

Just wait until we get out above ground.

I don't care even if you bury yourself.

Fine.

Then, what do you think we should do?

Here, go.

Break it open.

Who are you to order me around?

Because you're the most incompetent here.

Ms. Ning,

this place feels evil.

I got chills all over my body as soon as I entered.

My waist.

Little Master.

Little Master.

Little Master,

this place is full of bronze bell as well.

Kylin Zhang,

have you seen this before?

Ms. Ning,

did you hurt yourself from the fall?

If only Mr. Naive was here.

This should be the Serpents' ritual of sacrifice.

How is this a ritual?

It's more like a museum of dead bodies.

Here's the museum curator.

This ancient cauldron looks nice.

Look at the quality...

Take it with you if you can carry it up.

This bell...

This must be worth of something.

Hang on!

It's fine for me if you want to take the cauldron with you.

But if you touch this bell,

and cause hallucinations,

believe it or not,

you might get yourself killed...

by your own imagination.

These bells...

are just like the one on the body of that huge zombie creature.

Then, Uncle San Xing told me that...

these bells were made before Warring States period.

He didn't tell me the details about it.

But just a single bell back then...

had had so many lives killed.

There are dozens of bells here.

If they ring...

That treasure chest in the hands of the priest...

There must be some treasures inside.

I saw it too.

Fine, fine.

Don't move, don't move.

You're not qualified enough...

to touch the stuff of a priest.

I should be the one to look first.

Don't touch it.

What's the matter?

There's nothing inside.

You told me not to touch it.

Yet you touched it first.

Oh no.

Little Master.

Little Master?

Little Master.

Little Master.

Go to hell.

Come on.

Come on.

Fatty!

What are you doing?

Are you out of your mind?

Come out, Fatty!

How dare you shoot me?

Come out!

Fatty!

There you are.

Where's Ning?

Their bodies must be crushed.

Tell me,

how should I explain this to Mr. Naive?

Little Master,

what happened just now?

Didn't you experience any hallucinations?

Come and take a look at this.

Something is engraved on it.

What is it?

Another two-bodied snake.

This is the totem of the Serpents.

Why was it engraved here?

Maybe the Serpents...

thought of it as a miracle being.

So they engraved the totem...

here as a sign of worship.

Teacher Liang,

you have a broad range of knowledge.

Can you tell...

which era does this bronze tree belong to?

It could belong to the Shang and Zhou Dynasties.

Shang and Zhou Dynasties...

had over 1,000 years of history.

Teacher Liang,

you might as well just tell us you don't know.

This has to be inspected...

with specialized instrument.

It's impossible to tell its specific era...

by just looking at it.

Look closely.

Look at its color.

It's black.

It's blackish Grey.

It could be tin bronze,

leaded tin bronze and...

leaded bronze.

In my opinion,

it could belong to the era around...

Western Zhou dynasty.

How certain are you?

It's meaningless to discuss further...

if you want to be so specific

Then...

Then...

Maybe around 50 percent.

You might as well have said nothing.

Most of the artifacts these days...

belonged to the era after Song dynasty.

There's only so few before Tang Dynasty.

It's amazing enough that...

Teacher Liang could tell...

it belonged to Western Zhou dynasty.

Teacher Liang,

let's say if it was from Western Zhou dynasty.

judging by the technology back then,

were they capable of making a bronze tree like this?

My dear lifesaver,

this is a even tougher question for me.

I only know that...

they used pottery molds for making bronze vessels...

which was a mold made from pottery.

Theoretically,

as long as they could make the pottery mold,

they would be capable of...

Making such a huge bronze tree?

How big of a pottery mold would they have needed?

That's impossible.

Nothing is for sure.

Let me teach you something.

The time from 1000 BC...

to the Common Era...

is historically known as the "Age of Wonders".

Many constructions which you thought...

would be impossible were built in that period.

Such as...

the Great Wall, pyramids,

Mausoleum of the First Qin Emperor, Tower of Babel...

If you must say that...

it was impossible for them to build such an enormous bronze tree,

that may be uncertain...

as the technology was already mature.

With just an order from the Emperor,

those who worked for him...

could have actually built it...

in maybe 8 to 10 years.

This isn't the deception scheme during the Great Leap Forward.

You can't make things happen...

by just talking big.

When Emperor Qin Shi Huang collected all the world's weapons,

yet he only managed to make Twelve Metal Colossi.

For an enormous bronze tree like this,

they could have built over hundreds of metal colossi.

Plus where did all this bronze come from?

You tell me.

Now you're just arguing for the sake of arguing.

Maybe it was because of...

the making of this bronze tree,

that cooper had lessened...

when it came to Qin Dynasty.

Which was why they could only afford to make...

the Twelve Metal Colossi.

What now?

You're the professional here.

You're always right...

even if you're just talking nonsense.

You...

He...

By the way,

didn't Mr.Li say that...

this tomb possesses treasures that...

are far more precious than the Mausoleum of the First Qin Emperor?

But we didn't see any treasure at all...

along the way.

Isn't...

Isn't this...

huge bronze tree a treasure?

We're not metal collectors.

What can we do with this huge tree?

Like the bronze tree in Sanxingdui,

it's labeled as a national treasure now, you know?

You're saying as if you could...

dig it out and sell it.

Why can't I?

If I really did dig it out,

I could make a great fortune!

Fine, dig it out then.

Dig it out.

Dig it out and sell it.

Stop fighting.

I'm pretty sure that...

the treasure that Mr Li was talking about...

was not this bronze tree.

Shall we look for the treasure?

We haven't even found the coffin of the tomb owner.

Let alone the treasures buried with him.

It's such a pity that...

Mr Li's death was too sudden.

Otherwise,

he would've known...

where we should go next.

You boys, wait for me!

Wait for me!

Wu Xie,

isn't your hand getting sore...

from holding the torch so long?

Come.

Let me help you.

Aren't I considerate?

Lao Yang,

you were so eloquent...

while arguing with Teacher Liang.

Plus you've spent so long...

in this tomb,

you must've known about the tree for some time,

right?

Come, come.

Tell me,

what is the secret behind...

the bronze tree?

Teacher Liang,

was he part of your team?

I don't know him.

There were only...

five of us.

You've met them all.

Lao Yang.

This...

This man hasn't be dead for long.

His body is still soft...

and warm.

Could there be other people here?

Don't worry about others now.

Let's help him down first.

I really hated her when we were in...

the underwater tomb.

Then the feeling was gone.

I was just feeling nervous...

talking to a girl.

That was why I kept mocking her...

or arguing with her.

There wasn't any hard feelings.

But now that she's gone.

I didn't even get to explain to her.

What should we do now?

I'm talking to you.

What should we do now?

There's an entrance here.

I...

Why didn't you tell us just now?

You?

If you had told us earlier,

we wouldn't have been hallucinated.

Mr. Naive's wife wouldn't have died.

Even Guo Guo would still be alive.

I just remembered it!

I only just recalled it.

What else did you recall?

What do we have down there?

What did you recall?

Maybe give me a spoiler?

This is just great.

Amazing.

Old man, why do you sigh so much?

We might not know...

where this little brother...

came from...

but his goal...

could've been more or less like ours.

Yet he just...

lost his life here so suddenly.

At least let me...

mourn for him for a little while.

What is there to mourn about?

If he didn't die,

should we have fought him?

Could you even?

This...

If he had a companion,

he should've...

climbed up the tree by now.

Climbed up the tree?

Why?

I was just thinking about it,

we've walked such a long way.

This place...

should be the deep end of the tomb.

But other than the bronze tree,

we didn't see anything.

Perhaps,

for the ancient Serpents,

the Bronze Tree...

was viewed as...

a miracle creation like you said.

Which was why they...

carved their totem on the tree.

But think about it,

would their leader...

have placed his tomb...

in the place that they believed...

was the closest with God?

You're saying that the tomb owner...

placed his coffin...

on the tree?

All the treasures must be on the tree.

Let's climb up the tree then.

-Climb the tree? -Yes.

I'm an old man,

my movements aren't as smooth.

You'll have to help me out a bit.

Come on.

Wait... wait.

Here... here.

Put it on.

What do you mean by this?

Just take it as...

a metal that's...

connected with high voltage electricity.

Tell me the truth.

Sir, I'll explain this...

next time, okay?

Teacher Liang, let's go.

Let's go... let's go.

You need to help me out.

Come on.

Give me a hand.

Wu Xie,

be careful.

Don't touch the branches.

Got it.

How am I supposed to get up there?

With a body like mine...

Get down here.

-This is the worst. -Teacher Liang.

It's okay, Teacher Liang.

We'll climb up first.

And pull you up with rope.

Don't abandon me.

We would've done that sooner if we had intended.

Don't worry.

-Little lifesaver... -Careful.

Be careful.

Don't let your exposed skin...

touch the tree.

Careful.

Come.

Slow down.

Come.

Drop...

Drop the rope now.

Here, are you ready?

1, 2, 3.

Careful!

Watch out!

Careful.

Darn that Little Master. He could've told me...

there was a pothole there.

We're finally here.

I've been here before.

You remember it now?

This is my signature mark.

I leave this mark...

in every tomb that I've been to.

Then can you recall...

when you came here?

Looking at this mark,

it should be before I went to...

the underwater tomb of Paracel Islands.

I'm not asking you to recall anything else.

Just try to recall...

whether this place has...

any valuables for me.

And how many are there?

Are they worthy for me to go in?

The Serpents' tomb was unlike...

the tomb of Zhongyuan people.

This place has been reconstructed.

Such intricate traps.

It could be the works of the Mute Riders.

Be careful.

Little lifesaver,

all this walking is wearing me out.

Can we take a break?

Please.

You're so troublesome!

Lao Yang.

Let's take a break.

Thank you.

I'm exhausted.

I...I have some food here.

I have two here.

Here.

Thank you.

Give it to me.

Little brother,

you've been reminding us...

along the way not to let our skin...

touch this tree.

What is the reason for that?

Just listen to my advice if you want to live.

Little brother,

looks like...

you're quite familiar with this environment.

But based on my understanding,

even Mr. Li's...

Tombs Collection...

doesn't mention about this tree.

That's enough.

Are you done?

Or do you...

still have some energy to spare?

Fine.

I'll say no more.

Wu Xie,

how about this?

You see,

we still have hundreds of meters ahead.

Based on his physical strength,

we might need to spend our night on the tree.

Lao Yang,

I feel like...

something...

is looking at us.

Nothing there,

other than the three of us,

and the dead one down there.

Or is his ghost...

looking at us?

Stop your nonsense.

Here.

Under this situation,

don't let your imagination run wild.

It's like when you just finished a horror film,

you feel like...

you're surrounded with ghosts.

Little lifesaver,

what did you see?

Don't... don't scare me.

Is there any other...

living things on this tree?

I told you not to imagine things.

We found such a gigantic bronze tree.

If we notify the government,

do you think...

they will name it after us?

Lao Yang Bronze Tree?

Ever heard names like Wanger Mazi Rectangular Cauldron...

or Zhao Tugen Triangular Wine Chalice?

I know the name sounds awful.

But give me some time.

I'll think of...

a name with a western ring to it.

Teacher Liang,

are you ready to walk now?

Let's go.

Let's go.

Move faster.

I can't.

I'm scared of heights.

Come on.

Please start your performance.

Good.

That's nice.

What's going on?

What happened?

Sounds like someone's up here.

Could it be your friends?

It...

It's impossible.

The fire in the coffin array...

couldn't be put out so soon.

It can't be Uncle Tai and the rest.

Then who...

could it be?

Could it be...

the companions of that corpse?

That's bad.

We'll be disadvantaged...

if a conflict is triggered.

I'll go and take a look.

Don't be rash.

What if they have guns?

I have one too.

Listen to me first.

They're in the dark, while we're easy targets.

We don't even know how many...

are there.

We can't act rashly now.

Our priority now...

is to keep walking.

Faster.

Faster, faster.

Go, go, go.

Little lifesaver,

-slow down. -Go.

Faster.

Keep walking.

Be careful.

Keep up.

Old man,

are you sure...

you have the strength to climb up?

Don't worry, Teacher Liang.

Like how we did it just now,

we will pull you up.

By the way,

if we bump into...

your companions on the way,

we'll need you to talk to them.

Forming a collaboration...

is better than a conflict.

Don't worry.

Peace will benefit both parties.

Peace will benefit both parties.

Don't you try playing dirty tricks.

Don't worry, don't worry.

Come, give me your hand.

Let's go.
