"THE LOST TOMB 2 - Explore With The Note"

"Episode 27"

Young Yang Guo's skills?

You can refer from Little Master.

You'll know.

They're both as good.

A first-class player.

When young Yang Guo was...

protecting the Lord,

he lost one of his arms.

Doesn't the lost arm...

remind you of young Yang Guo?

There was no Xiaolongnü,

nor the condor in this case.

Little Master,

I don't think he can only use swords.

Do you think he...

knows the Deep Blue Press?

Aunt!

Guo Er!

Aunt!

Guo Er!

-Get to the point. -Aunt...

Doomed!

They were out of options.

Then,

they thought of the Serpents' tomb.

So the Mute Riders took them...

to the tomb for refuge.

And it didn't bother them too much.

In their first attempt...

as the Mute Riders got in,

they've killed the Serpents almost entirely.

By the time they enter,

young Yang Guo was badly injured.

The lord was heartbroken.

So he took out...

the corpse of the Serpents' leader...

from the coffin...

and put young Yang Guo in.

Why?

So, you don't know it!

Let me tell you.

From what they've recovered,

when the leader of the Serpents...

was building his own tomb,

he found the bronze tree.

The bronze tree can bring the dead back to life.

So the Serpents...

placed their leader inside...

to await his revival.

The Lord knew about it,

so he placed young Yang Guo inside.

But the pursuit team caught up...

and they had to leave.

So young Yang Guo was placed there alive.

They left him a silk book with...

the Lord and the Mute Riders'...

next destination.

Alas,

after a thousand years,

The Lord and the General...

had long turned into ashes.

We opened the coffin.

Young Yang Guo...

awoke in terminal lucidity and died.

What an eternal parting.

Though these ancients are no more,

the water still runs cold.

By the way,

I've looked up on...

the bronze tree.

According to the internet, its ancient name was "Hollow Pillar".

In 1984,

one was discovered in a mine...

at Panzhihua.

But it's not big.

And its roots...

were all rusted.

No scrolls or notes written...

to describe its use.

But that Mr. Qi,

the one who blabbered away...

and wasted hours of our time.

He says that the “Classic of Mountains and Seas”,

and some ethnic tribe poems...

had mentioned about it.

It's related to the ancient Earth Dragon.

Earth Dragon?

Snakes?

When I was with the bronze tree,

there were two serpents there.

One of it was strange.

One of its eyes was purple,

and the other was scarlet red.

The purple eye opens mostly.

But when the red eye opens,

I'll feel dizzy and nauseous...

when I look at it.

When Ning saw it,

she seemed to be in a trance.

She couldn't move an inch.

Then, I threw a grenade...

into its mouth.

It melted like wax.

"Candle Dragon"?

You say it's a Candle Dragon?

Isn't it a legend?

It is.

But someone researched on it,

and said it's a snake...

living in deep depths underground.

Because it lives...

in creaks within steep rocks,

So its eyes...

were mutated like flounders.

It's said that ancient people...

use it as longevity lamps.

It has thick layers of fat...

as if it's made of wax.

If what you say is true,

the snake I saw...

by the bronze tree that melted away...

might just be the Candle Dragon.

Wait.

The bronze tree was so big,

so magnificent,

just to lure a snake?

And,

there's something...

I can't figure out.

When Little Master and I...

touched the bronze tree's...

branches,

though we were not...

in the same space,

we saw each other.

And we even heard each other.

That I can't answer you.

Madam Huo.

Look at this.

The cheongsam you chose...

for Ms. Xiu Xiu is so beautiful.

She's sure to like it.

Beautiful.

Right?

Beautiful.

This looks good too.

And this too.

Get her measurements precisely.

No problem.

It looks better when it's fitting.

Rest assured.

I promise.

Granny!

Granny!

Look, Granny!

The dress I bought from Vipshop is here.

What's wrong, Granny?

What's the matter?

Are you unpleased?

Are you making a cheongsam?

This cheongsam...

Is it for me?

Who can it be for besides you?

I'm not suitable for it.

Your elegance...

suits a cheongsam.

There's a saying.

A generation...

has its own trend.

The tailor makes the man.

Refinement comes from your clothes.

You may not be unsuitable.

Unless if you decide so.

But some girls nowadays...

wear short cheongsams...

with pin straight collars.

But,

they show off their legs with it.

That looks good too.

My granddaughter looks good in everything.

All right then.

Consider this an add up to my Vipshop closet.

Make one for me.

Sure!

Ms. Xiu Xiu,

this way please.

I'll take your measurements.

Yes.

Measure precisely.

Right.

We want both long and short dresses.

Madam.

Si Ye from Changsha is here again.

Mr. Ma was hospitalized.

He's sick?

Mental sickness.

I'll say, he looked so weird.

Thought he sat himself silly in the prison.

Who knew,

it was schizophrenia.

Could it be...

he's the same as Da Shan's son?

Did he touch...

the bronze tree's branch,

and had schizophrenia?

How long did he touch it?

Besides,

Da Shan and his family...

had contact with the bronze tree.

Us too.

Why didn't we turn crazy?

It depends on our body conditions.

Didn't he always carry...

the bronze bell with him?

It may be related.

In fact,

most of us...

have weak minds...

and are easily influenced.

Take Lao Yang for example.

I think,

Lao Yang could've been...

experiencing abnormality...

before touching the tree 3 years ago.

If not,

he won't be so sure...

and certain that...

the bronze tree...

can revive his mother.

What's weirder,

I had illusions...

when I was near the tree...

and saw his mother.

That's because of the magnetic fields.

Like when we're at the small altar.

We had illusions then.

If it weren't for him,

I might've been like Guo Guo or Ning.

I may have killed someone,

or got killed by someone.

Really.

I pray we have no aftereffects...

now that we're out.

If not, we'll have to...

stay in Beijing Anding Hospital.

But some questions...

can't be explained with illusions.

For example, when I saw...

Lao Yang's corpse in the cave,

yet there he was,

alive outside the cave.

It's creepy just thinking of it.

Young Yang Guo,

someone from a thousand years before.

He stood up and fought us.

But alas,

there's another him in corpse form...

in the tomb.

All disintegrated into dust.

It was scary.

Maybe because of the magnetic fields,

time and space were disrupted.

He's right!

Maybe,

two parallel universes...

collided with each other concurrently.

That's why,

two identical people...

appeared simultaneously in the same space.

You've heard about...

parallel universe, right?

This concept...

is from quantum physics.

The uncertainty of quantum.

Scientists...

found out when observing quantum,

that everything in the universe...

are formed by quantum.

From this we can deduce,

the universe is not one.

There could be similar universes outside.

After further hypothesis,

the theory of parallel universe...

had developed into 8 to 9 variations.

When Lao Yang and I were by the bronze tree,

a similar situation occurred.

"Xie Zi Yang"

Xie Zi Yang?

You're here.

"Xie Zi Yang"

I know.

How about this?

For example,

we've played games, right?

Your decisions...

decide the scenario.

For example, Fatty here..

is playing a game.

There are two options.

Option A,

Fatty danced.

Option B,

Fatty and Little Master...

had a fight.

If you choose A,

the scenario will be...

that you sprained yourself...

after the dance.

If you choose B,

that means...

you and Little Master...

fought each other.

Little Master beat you up,

and you were hospitalized.

Don't curse me.

It's an example.

Different choices...

lead to different scenarios.

But,

from the moment you choose,

a parallel universe appears.

And the you in these two parallel universes...

are still you.

We are still us.

Us who returned from the bronze tree.

And,

from the moment...

you made a choice,

the disturbed magnetic fields...

changed space.

So the two universes coincide.

Universe A's Fatty,

And Universe B's Fatty,

both appear in the room.

This means...

This means,

while I'm beating Fatty up,

and the other Fatty...

is dancing.

Yes.

Similarly,

we apply this...

onto Lao Yang this time.

It's the same Universe A and B.

Lao Yang in Universe A entered the cave.

And he got trapped inside.

And Lao Yang in Universe B...

never entered the cave.

When A and B coincided,

maybe time...

developed a change...

beyond our comprehension.

So when B...

appeared in A,

The timeline in Space A...

had progressed to...

Lao Yang's dying moment.

But Lao Yang in Space B was still alive.

So,

I simultaneously saw...

the dead Lao Yang and alive Lao Yang.

Similarly,

we place this theory...

onto young Yang Guo.

Universe A's young Yang Guo...

just laid in the coffin,

and you guys awoke him.

And Universe B's young Yang Guo...

had been lying in the coffin...

for a thousand years.

Making him, a dry corpse.

Though...

there are some things...

that I can't explain,

But this is...

the only reasonable possibility...

that I can think of.

Really.

Don't get serious.

We don't do science,

and we're not scientists.

This aside,

I'm more curious...

why Ning even went to the tomb.

She's really like a tail now.

Stuck on you and not coming off.

That Guo Guo with her was...

the one who introduced...

Mr. Ma to you.

Right.

We hardly ever communicate.

We only trade with each other.

Now that we've met,

he's digging a hole...

for us to jump in.

Qiu De Kao must be behind this.

Think about it.

What is there...

in that tomb...

that Qiu De Kao could be after?

Besides,

why is Wu Xie always scouting the way?

All that glitters,

is not gold.

Aunt, who is it that's made you so mad?

Come, tell your nephew.

I will take care of him.

Men in Huo Family...

Besides looking decent,

and having a sweet mouth...

to coax people,

they have no other talents.

Actually,

I'm not very demanding.

Look at the Huo Family.

The women are taking care of it.

Isn't it great for us to be safe and settled?

While you men?

It's fine to be incompetent.

But you all act tougher...

than the other.

Going astray when handling matters.

You can't blame me for this.

Blame that Lin fellow.

Did I allow you to talk?

Why won't you let me?

Don't I have a right?

Not taking the cane...

and beating you up...

is the best right...

you can get.

Aunt, listen to yourself.

Could you even?

My parents died early.

You raised me yourself.

If I really have done wrong,

you can hit me...

or scold me.

That's your love to me, isn't it?

But this matter...

can't wait no longer.

The court order...

What happened?

Do tell.

Didn't I tell you, Uncle Si?

Let go of that land.

Why did you come...

-and cause trouble? -Xiu Xiu.

You don't know business!

We've contributed so much...

for the land.

It's a great loss...

to just let go.

Uncle Si!

Don't you know about stopping loss timely?

You don't listen to me,

and you insist to...

join hands with that Mr. Lin.

You are now charged with...

bribery and slaughter.

Isn't this a huge loss?

We were framed.

Didn't you evict the residents?

Didn't you bribe them?

If you don't pay,

how will you get help?

Besides, those residents...

were smarter than you think.

They were waiting for the eviction...

to be millionaires.

What?

Would they stop...

if I didn't scare them?

If they don't move,

we can't build the building!

You know how much we'll lose...

if we postpone the project?

These are all the back story.

We know clearly deep down.

Shut up if you don't know.

So what you told me that day...

were all lies?

When did I ever lie?

I just went back and thought it through,

and felt that things were off.

The idea you gave me...

will disadvantage the Huo Family.

Sometimes when you step back,

others will step in.

Right?

If you step back some more,

others will take your place.

What?

Will you be happy to see...

our family crumble?

You ignorant lass.

You'll bring bad luck to us all.

What did you say?

-I... -All right.

I know.

You can go.

Aunt,

about being charged...

I said I know.

Fine, fine.

I'll wait for your good news.

Bless you, Aunt.

Is the goalkeeper a director?

Fine.

Which team are you betting next?

Done!

Mr. Huo.

Done?

Yes.

Your aunt is really capable.

She solved our problem.

You have no idea...

how connected she is.

With Madam holding out,

nothing will happen.

She's not just fooling us, right?

What do you know?

Let me tell you.

Women...

are all soft-hearted.

Especially to us, her kins.

See how she takes care of Huo Xiu Xiu...

and spoils her.

But she's just a girl.

She'd be mad...

if she wants her as an heir.

You're right, Mr. Huo.

Family heir is a task...

best left for men.

The Madam is just...

in over her head.

Turning the Huo Family upside down.

A woman usurping man's power.

The human race can't stop...

the Madam now.

What is this called?

Anti-human.

Anti-human!

Mr. Huo,

where are we going tonight?

MIX is the way!

All right!

Why are you so nervous?

It's all my fault, Granny.

I didn't properly...

settle this matter.

And made you worry.

I've told you.

The leader of the family...

must stand tall.

You have to be tough...

and be heartless.

You treated him like he's something.

Don't you mingle with...

that Xie Zi every time?

Look at him.

See how he settles such matters.

Brother Xiao Hua is...

What about him?

When he took charge,

he was younger than you are now.

When Xie Jiu died,

no one was there to help him.

Back then, he's totally...

fearless and strong.

Because he could take the heat,

so he became the head of the Xie Family.

Do you know that?

Granny,

I'll keep up.

You are far from experienced.

I blame myself for that.

I was wrong in some ways.

Granny.

Don't say that.

All right.

Today,

I'll give you one more lesson.

I'm hungry from all the drinking.

Let me treat you to a meal.

Sure.

But I don't know where...

to keep the sword.

What if the security sees,

and call the cops?

True.

Let's go.

Aren't you hungry?

One moment.

Mister,

I don't understand.

What does Qiu De Kao want?

Tricking me to the undersea tomb.

It's overseas.

Now the bronze tree.

You two should get...

your DNAs examined.

Is he suspecting...

that you're his long lost...

son?

But yes.

Most importantly, what does Qiu De Kao want?

What does he want from you?

I have no value.

The only thing I can think of is...

he's trying to use me...

to influence my uncle.

But what is going on...

between Qiu De Kao...

and my uncle?

Good friends maybe.

But let me tell you.

We have to trace back to the beginning.

Who is Qiu De Kao?

Don't judge the fact that he owns so many museums,

making himself so famous,

and pretending to be cultured.

His true identity...

is just an artifact smuggler.

Foreign artifact smuggler.

What do those smugglers want?

Valuable artifacts.

Your Uncle San Xing?

He's a treasure hunter.

They are like a hand in glove.

No.

They are a match made in heaven.

A perfect union.

Right?

You forgot.

When you saw them abroad,

Qiu De Kao gave Uncle San Xing...

a briefcase.

Uncle San Xing took the briefcase...

and sold it to an auctioneer.

Who did the auctioneer give it to?

They are making transactions.

I think they're just...

a client and a supplier.

Maybe Qiu De Kao...

wanted resources from Uncle San Xing.

Once he obtain the resource,

he can burn the bridge...

and abandon him.

Your uncle being abandoned?

Of course he'd never allow that.

Right?

They don't want to hurt each other.

So they chose you instead.

Targeting you...

and dragging you along.

Uncle San Xing...

can't feign ignorance...

and ask nothing.

In addition to your curiosity,

if you're dragged into it,

you’ll follow your uncle relentlessly into tombs.

As time goes,

you'll learn a thing about resources.

When you do,

and you're not as bright...

as your uncle,

Ning will simply...

make you talk...

by captivating you.

And let me tell you.

Aren't you enemies?

Century old enemies.

But now what?

Now,

what makes the world go round?

Money.

Everyone looks to money.

Is there anything it can't settle?

If money can't settle?

Raise it.

If you can't solve it still,

give it a double raise.

Understand?

It's a fact.

Uncle San Xing?

Don't assume that your uncle...

is young and innocent.

If he's as naive as you are,

he would've long been...

sucked dry by others.

Understand?

Besides that,

are there any other guesses?

That little bit of alcohol...

gave me this inspiration.

Maybe Qiu De Kao's target is you.

Not your uncle.

But what value do I have?

Maybe you don't know yourself.

Qiu De Kao's traps...

gets more secluded each time.

See?

He had Ning openly contact you...

for the undersea tomb.

Directly.

While abroad,

he sent messages...

and set up a fake website to get you.

Then, this time.

This time was worse.

We don't know what other traps he has set...

to let you hop in.

I thought about it.

We can't stay passive.

Regardless of Qiu De Kao's motives,

we have to take charge.

I will show him...

what I got.

Setting traps?

So can I.

You're all leaving?

You didn't even eat.

Boss!

Pack them up!

Pack these three bowls.

What a waste.

-Bill, please! -Be right there.

This opera troupe has been around for over 60 years.

All from the same family.

Grandpa, granny,

even the parents sung well.

Their grandchildren sings now.

Youngsters nowadays...

don't listen to operas.

They go for cybercafes or karaoke.

They may not hold out for long.

Wait for me!

Hurry, let's go.

Wait!

♪ Pitying myself. ♪

Though it's not perfect,

but they are good.

What's rare is that...

people in the suburbs...

still respect and persists

in Kunqu Opera.

When they're done,

take their contact number.

Tell them...

if they continue to persist,

we will take care of them.

Done.

Are you still visiting the...

Little Jade Bamboo Troupe...

at the Ao Village?

Didn't our project team...

recruit some opera school graduates?

Let them go.

Gain some experience...

and get rid of their arrogance.

Done.

Also,

the two traitors have been found.

How do we punish them?

Bring them back.

Zhai Xing Yao was looking for them.

What happened in Guizhou had nothing to do with me!

It's all Ma Yu.

You don't have to let me know.

When you meet Master Hua,

you can tell him yourself.

I've contributed...

to the Xie Family for so many years.

Xie Yu Hua kicked us out after that.

People may lose their faith on him if news spread.

My job...

is to take you back to Master Hua.

Please cooperate with me.

Don't make me work overtime.

Hurry to your uncle.

His phone is busy.

He's unreachable.

Let me tell you.

Mr. San doesn't want to see you.

You know that?

Mr. Naive,

think about it.

You uncle is easier to find than Little Master.

He's traceable.

Little Master disappears without a sound.

One snap and poof.

Totally untraceable.

Think about it.

I'll take a nap.

Young Master Wu.

Hey, Pan Zi.

It's me.

Where's my uncle?

Young Master Wu,

Master Wu said that...

I should tell you this if you called,

"some things are better left alone".

If you're too bored,

Master Wu said...

you could study for a PhD abroad.

He'll pay.

You tell him,

I have important things to tell him.

Tell him to pick up!

Master Wu is really not here.

Stop it, Pan Zi.

You tell him,

I've discovered a Chu dynasty tomb.

A Chu dynasty tomb!

I'm going to see it in two days.

If he's interested,

let me know.

That's it.

You want to trick him with that?

I don't believe you.

I don't know.

Regardless, my curiosity...

is hereditary.

You win.

Master Wu.

Where did Young Master Wu...

find that Chu dynasty tomb?

You believe him?

He's bluffing.

He wants me to look for him.

Will you?

I'll keep him on hold.

What if he really knows something?

He did just come back from Qinling.

Maybe he discovered something?

But,

if you asked him,

he'd definitely tell you.

Some matters...

are safer kept unknown.

But that kiddo,

he still doesn't understand this.

Pair of ten.

Let me see.

Pair of J.

Pair of K.

Boom!

Pair of 10.

What do you mean by this?

Master Hua.

I know.

That fight at Guizhou...

eliminated 6 out of your 8 men.

You had a huge loss.

But there are risks in tomb raiding.

If you're scared,

you can hide under your girl's skirt.

Why come knocking?

Uncle Kang.

Don't talk like that.

You said the raid...

couldn't feed two families.

You sent me and Ma Yu to stir things up.

Master Hua,

your man...

is shifting his fault at me.

I have recordings.

Nonsense!

How is that evidence?

Technology nowadays...

can even create fake videos.

Xie Yu Hua,

if you use your men as witnesses,

won't they follow suit...

with what you say?

Uncle Kang.

You've misunderstood me.

You know...

what you did.

I know it too.

I'm here today...

to answer to my men.

You wrecked my lair?

Do you think I'm afraid of you?

Listen up.

I gave you face because of your grandfather.

Don't forget.

No matter how invincible Xie Jiu Ye was,

he's a dead man now!

You, an opera singing sissy,

have to fit yourself into our crowd.

Can you make your mark?

You think you have such great reputation?

Yes?

You think you're safe on your seat...

as Xie Family's head?

Let me tell you!

Zhai Xing Yao is watching!

Uncle Kang.

You're such a muddlehead.

The Xie Family's leader...

is still me.

So, no matter...

what Xing Yao promised you,

it's no use.

Okay.

Xie Yu Hua,

my territory is yours.

Take everything with you.

I concede defeat.

Good.

Then what about the six men...

that died?

You want money?

I'll pay one million each.

You...

should just go to jail.

So, what are you going to do now?

I don't know.

Listening to your tone to Pan Zi,

I thought you had a plan.

You're just bluffing, weren't you?.

No matter if it's my uncle...

or Qiu De Kao,

I can't compare...

to their wit and vision.

That's right.

But they have flaws too.

They do everything...

after much consideration.

Everything will be...

in their control.

In fact,

they'll consider all possibilities...

and analyze solutions.

Based on what I said,

what is our strength?

Looking pretty.

Besides that?

Looking handsome.

Yes.

Besides,

our strength...

is we're clueless...

about what to do next.

Even I'm not sure...

what we should do next.

So,

if we can take charge...

and let them follow us,

they'll soon expose their tracks.

Totally unreliable.

Same old word.

Reliability...

can be tested.

Lao Kang's territory isn't earning much.

It has only reached equity balance.

His inventory...

has been verified.

It's not even 3 million.

Sell everything off.

The money can be given...

to the six men's' family.

On the other hand,

hurry and distribute their pension.

Understood.

Things in the Yi inventory...

have been checked.

One fifth of it contains only code.

There are many packages...

unidentifiable from the logbook.

Our men didn't dare to open them.

Most things in the Yi Inventory...

were left by Granduncle Er.

His own account is clear.

But there are some things...

given by friends for safekeeping.

It was chaotic back then.

They may not be alive anymore.

So they were never returned.

Look for a time...

to scan them with X-Ray.

Look inside...

and see what's there.

But some of it...

are really weird.

I don't know what were they thinking...

when they sent them in.

This, Yihai 31.

An elm box.

Can you guess what's inside?

A few pieces of women...

and children clothing.

A pair of shoes,

a photo album,

and a toy tiger.

Perhaps to that person,

these are his most...

prized possessions.

Keep them.

Scan the photo albums...

when you have the time.

See if we can contact...

their family.

You're right.

To the owner,

they may be meaningful.

Like when Granduncle Er...

had things scattered outside,

you retrieved them one by one...

for all these years.

The money you've spent searching...

was so much more.

Granduncle Er and the rest had remarkable lives.

They encountered thrilling adventures.

It's a pity that us descendants...

don't know much about it.

We can only connect the dots...

through things they left behind.
