"THE LOST TOMB 2 - Explore With The Note"

"Episode 24"

Fall off.

Fall off.

Oh my god.

Fall off. Fall off.

Wu Xie! Wu Xie!

Come take a look.

Come.

Get a closer look here.

There's more than one statue here.

God knows what they are.

Come, quick!

This could be...

the table for sacrificial ceremonies.

These roots are harder than rocks.

The intervals between the sounds...

are equally long.

Like a monk knocking on a wooden fish.

Like the sound of a running mechanism.

There must be something in here.

We just don't know if it's dead or alive.

This should be it.

One of us...

must go and scout around first.

I'll go first.

This root system cave is complex.

More complex than...

the Karst caves.

Plus we don't know...

if these bronze trunks are hollow.

It could very dangerous...

if we go in haste.

You're right.

So we can't...

both go in together.

One of us...

must go and scout around first.

Mr. Wang,

I see that you are back to normal now?

This hole is...

too narrow for me.

You're thinner.

So, you go first.

I'll be right behind.

Don't worry,

it'll be fine.

I know.

I'm just saying that...

don't you think it was weird just now?

Why did we...

rush here so hastily?

What are you saying?

You see,

you asked me to scout around for you,

yet you wanted to be the first to go in,

does that make sense?

What are you trying to say here?

Nothing.

Stop rambling then.

Just go in.

Don't try to stall.

Fine.

I'll just be honest with you then.

Since you're asking me...

to risk my life for you,

and I don't have any equipment with me now,

if I die in there...

you'll get nothing.

Take it.

Torchlight.

Hold on.

If it's deep in there,

communicate through this.

The channel is set.

Kid, you've got a bright future ahead.

I'll wait here.

Hey, kid.

Are you at the bottom?

How does it look like down there?

Reply.

I'm looking at crossroads here.

There are two entrances.

Two entrances?

Yes.

One is bright and one is dark.

Which one should I go?

How would I know?

I've never been down before.

Which way are you going?

Hello?

Hello?

Hello?

Hey, kid?

Reply.

Hello?

Can you hear me?

Speak to me.

There are two roads here.

Which did you pick?

Hey, kid?

Can you hear me?

I'm listening.

Where are you now?

I walked out the entrance.

I'm seeing a bridge...

and a coffin.

Hey, wait.

There were two entrances.

Which way did you pick?

The dark one.

Okay.

Stay there and don't move.

I'm coming to you.

Kid!

I told you not to move.

Why are you there?

This is the coffin.

What's wrong with you?

Mr. Wang.

Mr. Wang.

Mr. Wang, what's wrong?

Mr. Wang! Mr. Wang!

Mr. Wang, are you okay?

Mr. Wang.

Mr. Wang, snap out of it!

What you're seeing is an illusion.

Where am I?

What happened?

What is this?

Can't you see?

All the vines...

are creeping down the coffin.

So?

If I'm not wrong,

down below...

is our destination.

What do you mean?

What do I mean?

We'll know once we're down.

I'll climb down the iron chain.

Don't touch it!

Keep in mind that...

you mustn't touch...

all vines and branches.

Okay.

Be careful.

Why are you so slow? Faster!

Three layers inside and three outside.

Just like Russian dolls.

Now what, Little Master?

Are there any more traps?

Can I just push it open now?

You're not answering?

Then, don't blame me if anything happens.

Don't move.

Stop it.

Little Master?

Wait.

Who are you talking to?

Wu Xie.

Be careful.

Mr. Naive?

Where?

Little Master.

I can see you.

Why are you here?

How are you?

We are in the...

Serpent leader's burial chamber.

Where are you?

I'm on the bronze tree.

Seems like a well tomb.

The coffin with the body...

should be down there.

Are you in a hysteria episode again?

Stop joking around.

Where is Mr. Naive?

Little Master,

are you alone?

Is Fatty with you?

Yes.

He's with me.

How did you find Fatty?

I'm talking to you.

Fatty, come here.

Put your hand on this.

Can you see him?

Little Master,

why can't I see Fatty?

What am I supposed to see?

Mr. Naive?

Mr. Naive, Mr. Naive!

You...

Are you seeing him...

and talking to him?

Remember,

don't tell him about Ning.

Or else he'll be upset...

knowing his little wife is dead.

Little Master, Little Master.

Did you hear...

any strange sounds?

I get a headache and ringing in my ears...

whenever I hear it.

And it's always intense.

Have you heard it over there?

No.

We don't hear it here.

Wu Xie.

How are you doing over there?

My situation is rather complicated.

Long story short,

after Fatty and I got separated...

during the attack of the Siberian taimen,

I bumped into my childhood friend.

He's called Lao Yang.

He was the one...

who came here with Mr. Ma three years ago.

Then, we met some treasure hunters.

The same group that Fatty and I followed...

when we came into the mountains.

Due to some mishaps,

the ones left were just me, Lao Yang...

and a man called Teacher Liang.

As we reached the bronze tree,

we climbed up together.

We were attacked by Chi venom halfway.

It was then, Ning showed up and saved us.

Ning is still alive.

Great, that's great.

After the Chi beetles dispersed,

Ning was injured.

Teacher Liang was quick to conspire with Mr. Wang.

They threatened me to scout around for them.

I'm now...

scouting with Mr. Wang.

We found a shining coffin.

We're following the light.

Just now,

I don't know what happened.

There was a slight tremor.

I touched the bronze tree,

and then I saw you.

What about Mr. Wang?

Mr. Wang? Who?

Mr. Wang...

He's looking for the shining object below.

But I can't tell from here.

Little Master,

I see the bronze branches around you.

That means we're close by.

Don't worry,

I'll find the closest path to you.

Be careful.

I'm much at ease...

seeing you and Fatty are safe.

Dilute it.

I've finally found it.

This should be the place.

Kid!

Come down!

We're here!

What did you find?

The target.

Come on down! Hurry!

Little Master,

I should go now.

You be careful too.

Tell him Fatty Wang will be right there for him.

Fatty Wang will...

be right there, tell him not to worry.

Hey, tell him that!

Hey, what else did he tell you?

You better tell me all of it.

Don't act dumb.

Mr. Naive...

Mr. Naive...

Mr...

Wu Xie.

Wu Xie!

You look so sad,

my little girl.

Wu Xie.

Father

where is Wu Xie?

He was pushed down the tree.

Is Wu Xie really dead?

Yes.

Looks like we need to reorganize our plan.

Ning,

are you feeling sad because of Wu Xie?

I don't know what's got into me.

Father.

Death is just like a shadow,

it's been keeping itself close to us.

Even at the brightest places,

it just hides itself,

it's never gone far away from us.

When our closed ones...

are taken away by death,

we're bound to feel sad.

Which is why...

we have been working hard on this.

Ning,

if I'm the one who was dead...

No,

I'll never let it happen.

Never.

Although I dislike death,

but I'm not scared of it.

I've been taking care of you...

since you were a baby.

I've watched you...

grow from a fragile little girl...

to a strong woman.

But you rely too much on me.

I'm worried that if ever I'm not here,

will you continue to fulfill the mission?

Who are you?

Who do you wish me to be?

My little girl,

you've accomplished your mission,

farewell.

Come, come down.

It's safe here.

This is what you're looking for?

It looks like amber.

You know nothing.

This is no amber.

This is a corpse cocoon.

What's inside...

this corpse cocoon...

that made you...

go through all this effort?

Is...

the Serpent tomb inside it?

It's impossible to look inside...

with our eyes and torchlight.

Unless if we had x-ray scanners.

Fine.

As long as Mr. Naive is safe.

But this place is way too strange.

He wasn't even physically here,

and you were in two totally different places.

Yet,

you could still chat via video call.

And only you could.

But I couldn't.

Why is that?

This corpse is extraordinarily well-preserved.

I've seen a...

well-preserved ancient corpse before.

But that was because it was soaked in...

embalming herbs and liquid.

Still, that was covered in wax,

and all wrinkly...

looking like an ugly creature.

It was hideous.

Look at this one here.

Little Master, would you buy...

if I said his time of death...

was no more than two hours?

I've seen him before.

Who?

That recording.

The army.

Ghost soldiers?

Mute Riders.

Kid,

do you know how...

the corpse cocoon is made?

According to ancient books,

the corpse cocoon was actually an enhancer...

used by alchemist during pre-Qin dynasty.

They drowned pregnant woman...

in herbs till they died.

Her body was then placed in a crock and buried.

When they dug it out 17 years later,

the baby inside the belly...

would turn into a corpse cocoon.

This outer layer here...

is the petrified material...

of the baby's placenta.

The amber color that you see...

is actually...

the solidified amniotic fluid.

I've heard about...

the corpse cocoon before.

In the early years,

some were found in Southern Sichuan and Inner Mongolia.

But they were just as big as a washbowl.

Some of the textures were like turquoise,

some were like amber.

It contained...

either a child or an animal.

It's the first time I've seen...

such big corpse cocoon.

Emperor Qin Shi Huang...

had killed all the alchemists.

No one knows...

how they made it.

But there was a saying...

that it was a technique...

to prevent putrefaction.

The corpse was covered with a special resin...

mixed with Chinese herbs,

stopping the decay and dehydration.

During war periods,

many who escaped...

willingly offered their treasures...

to pawn shops.

My great-grandfather was the...

head appraiser in Hong Kong back then.

He had seen quite a bit.

This amber corpse cocoon was one of it.

Unacceptable.

Your price is too low.

Listen to me,

this thing...

is worth more than that.

This is a rare treasure.

Take a closer look at it.

I'll take a look at it.

I'll offer 10 percent more at most.

Don't worry.

No one will enter without my permission.

Feast your eyes.

This thing here is a rare treasure.

All who comes to pawn...

says the same thing.

This is from my ancestors.

If you get the right prescription,

it can be made into the elixir of life.

In the worst case,

if it's buried as sacrifice,

the tomb owner would become a deity.

This is a sin.

A living person was made into a corpse cocoon.

A sin.

You must be full of grudge...

when you were dying.

To be trapped forever here...

even after death.

I'll send you on your final journey today.

Relieve you from pain.

At least...

I've done a good deed.

Wu...Wu Xie.

You're standing so close to this corpse cocoon,

do you feel anything?

Anything?

Feel what?

Nothing?

Put your hand on top of it.

Feel it.

Do you feel anything now?

Anything?

What do you mean?

I...I...

What do you desire now?

What are you dreams?

Just give it a whirl.

Whatever you want.

Okay?

Come on, Wu Xie.

Just do it?

I'm thinking.

Still nothing?

Nothing?

It can't be.

Tombs Collection can't be wrong about this.

"Tombs Collection"

Mr. Wang,

you went through all the hardships...

just for this corpse cocoon?

Here it is.

As a treasure hunter,

shouldn't burial objects excite you more?

Besides,

this corpse cocoon is too big.

You can't take it out.

Forget the treasures.

We can have anything...

with this corpse cocoon.

This doesn't make sense.

It's not true.

It can't be wrong.

What's going on?

I thought this Tombs Collection...

was in Mr. Li's possession?

Why is it with you...

Mr. Wang.

Where did you get this...

cylinder of blood from?

Teacher Liang told me...

you're not into culture.

But you seem to know a lot...

about corpse cocoon.

Plus,

how is my blood...

going to effect the corpse cocoon?

Perhaps...

Mr. Wang...

or should I call you Lao Yang?

Hey.

Wu Xie.

Wu Xie!

Father.

Lao Yang.

Lao Yang!

What's the matter?

What's going on, young lady?

Where is Lao Yang?

Lao Yang?

Where is Lao Yang?

Lao Yang... he...

He killed Mr. Wang.

He drugged you all...

with hallucinogen when you were asleep.

He said he'd take me to find the treasure.

But turned out he was lying too!

Is little lifesaver in danger?

Don't leave me here by myself!

Wait up!

Wait up!
