"THE LOST TOMB 2 - Explore With The Note"

"Episode 29"

Master Wu.

Isn't it better...

to nip them in the bud?

I'm afraid troubles will follow suit.

How's about the Xies?

The Xies are having some problems lately.

They were set up by Lao Kang,

six of their men died.

Lao Kang is a good-for-nothing.

He thought there was no one left in the Xies.

After Xie Jiu Ye passed away,

many thought that the Xies have fallen.

Even though Xie Yu Chen is around,

some idiots look down on him.

Why do you think Lao Kang would even dare to do this?

It would seem like he's stepping on the face of the Xies,

but in fact,

he's looking down on the Mystic Nine.

Luckily, Xie Yu Chen wouldn't stand such humiliation.

You're right.

Master Hua is not a normal Joe.

He's executed the traitors,

taken over Lao Kang's business,

and now Lao Kang is gone.

If we were in the old days,

his decisiveness and boldness...

would make him a hero.

Did his works end clean?

Very clean.

Good then.

Take a rest, Master Wu.

I'll bring you some snacks.

Okay.

"Library"

Fatty.

Fatty.

Who was that?

Who was that?

I think...

you better sleep at home.

I'll just stay here with you.

I could help if they ambush you again.

Just look at your injured arm.

You should rest and let your body recover.

I'm still able to protect and shield you from danger.

Cut the crap. How's your investigation?

-Look. -No, I won't.

Tell me the story.

Young Yang Guo.

The map on the silk book.

I'm almost done investigating on them.

They should be in Guizhou.

Why do I have a feeling that I've seen the place...

-recorded in my grandpa's notebook. -So...

it's a site that Wu Ye had been to?

Not necessarily.

There are some tombs recorded in his notebook.

But he knew about most of them through others,

he's never been there before.

These old folks leave us with no choice.

They are always ahead of us to arrive at any valuable sites.

Leaving me with only their leftovers.

Whatever it is,

we'll have to retrieve my grandpa's notebook now.

I'll look into it.

Let's do it.

It's so boring here.

Let's go.

Master Hua.

You've spent a day here at our place.

You haven't been eating and drinking.

I'm telling you the truth. Master Wu isn't in.

I don't know where he went.

Neither do I know when he'll be back.

Please come back again another day.

Master Wu San Xing.

You must be Yu Chen.

It's been a long time.

You're all grown up.

Snake Eye Copper Fish.

Did Jiu Ye give it away before he passed on?

I've been with my grandpa up till the day he died.

To train me,

he'd tell me all about the Xies.

Snake Eye Copper Fish was a remnant of my uncle.

Grandpa would never give it away to anybody.

Let alone hiding it from me.

Uncle San Xing.

What happened back then?

Since you grandpa...

didn't tell you about this,

that simply means that he didn't want you to know.

I won't tell you either.

Grandpa told me...

that you went to discover the underwater tomb at Paracel Islands.

The morning before you entered the tomb,

you found out that my uncle was missing.

So you looked around for him on the sea surface.

And you finally found his body lying on a rock.

And he was holding the Snake Eye Copper Fish in his hand.

Yes. That's what happened.

Grandpa said that...

you assumed there was a reason for him...

to sneak in alone the night before.

And the copper fish was taken by him from the tomb.

But even to the day he died, grandpa never did understand...

why my uncle chose to do that.

What was it...

or who was it...

that caused his death?

There are many things...

I myself couldn't comprehend.

You're right.

I was close to Lian Huan.

And we knew each other's ability very well.

It's impossible for him to enter the tomb without telling me.

There is too much mystery behind this.

The entire archeology team has gone missing.

Your uncle's body is nowhere to be found.

But there's one thing I'll tell you.

Your uncle is dead!

He's dead!

And this is the truth!

Am I not sad?

Am I not?

It stings my heart like a needle every single day.

Shall there be any clues, I promise...

you’ll be the first to know.

Uncle San Xing.

Time is the best tool in covering up the truth.

The longer it takes,

the lesser the clues remain.

I'll find out the truth before the clues fade completely.

You've grown up.

You're of the same age as Wu Xie.

Looking at you makes me thinking of Wu Xie.

Wu Xie?

What's he doing?

Just like his father.

Brilliant brain.

Overthinking.

Worries about everything.

I even think that...

he's never taken off the red scarf he wore in primary school.

Good for him.

He doesn't have to be like us.

Not bad.

The analysis report from the headquarters is out.

Send it to me.

The report is the same as the information given by Wu Xie.

He's researching on something related to Northern Wei dynasty.

It's similar to the information in the silk book.

According to both our inference and the records on silk book,

Mute Riders, the treasure troop, might just be in a huge cave.

No wonder Qiu De Kao regards the Wus with special respect.

Wu Xie.

A family outcast like him...

has gotten hold of so much secrets.

Interesting.

Actually,

the simplest way...

is to invite Wu Xie over.

Invite?

You mean...

to get him abducted, right?

The car accident...

has attracted attention from the police.

We better be careful.

We're not trying to get Wu Xie killed after all.

We want his secrets.

Listen up people.

We have to get ahead of them this time.

This is a battle with time.

What's with all this rubbish in the house?

The valuables aren't here.

You're still awake, grandaunt?

How can I sleep when there's a rat in my house?

Keep a cat then.

Tortoiseshell cat is great.

I'll send you two right away.

Uncle Si.

You're leaving just like that?

Why don't you put down the things in your pocket?

It's none of your business.

Fine.

Since I'm here today,

let's sort things out.

Grandaunt.

I was just a kid when my parents died.

My dad handed me to you.

You were very busy.

Though I did have everything to eat and wear,

frankly,

you've wasted no energy on me.

-Right? -Really?

You are such an ingrate.

You think you'd have grown so big if I didn't care of you?

Did you grow by consuming air?

What do you think?

You are the head of the household.

There are so many people to take care of,

there must be something you've missed.

You have no idea about how I suffered as a kid.

Of course I do.

You are such a cunning kid.

I know every bad thing you've done.

Fine.

My parents' heirloom is with you.

I don't see you handing it back as I came to age.

Why are you so impatient?

Uncle Si.

I've seen our family accounts.

Uncle Liu committed fraud in business,

and granny compensated with a huge sum.

There's no heirloom left.

Why wasn't I informed about such a serious incident?

Anyway, I didn't come to rake up the past.

But,

the company that I've poured in so much heart and soul for...

should be mine.

What do you mean?

Divide the family property.

That's what I meant.

I couldn't care less about people's business.

But the house and company should be mine.

You've no problem with that, right?

They were always yours.

And the antiques of the Huos.

They are passed down by our ancestors.

You should give me my portion.

Si.

Not only are you greedy,

you're stupid too.

You can say whatever you like.

I appreciate you, grandaunt.

But what is mine is mine.

You can't claim them as yours just because you're the elder.

I think that's what everybody thinks too.

Everybody?

You mean to gather all the Huos together...

to split the property?

It should've long been done.

We're too modern to play your ancestral altar game.

Even if you were to play the ancestor card,

you don't have to do it like the Huos.

Xiu Xiu.

What do you think?

Grandaunt.

Why are you asking a little girl like her?

She knows nothing.

It's your call.

The Huos can never be separated, granny.

Well said.

My thoughts exactly.

You know what, Si?

I'll give you a last chance.

I hope that you'll know what to do.

Fine.

I've said what I wanted to say.

Do ponder.

I'm used to going to court.

I know the suffer.

But I don't wish all of you the same suffer, you see?

Think about it.

Granny.

Why has Uncle Si changed so much?

I've been careless.

This is what you can do.

Find out who he's been mixing with all these years.

Especially around the time we bought the land.

You mean someone out there is manipulating him?

The predator will prey on the weak.

If a flower has rotten,

aren't you throwing it away?

It'll wither sooner or later.

Jiahai 317.

What have you been looking for all day?

Guizhou. Fog Village?

Is the village on the map of China?

If it was,

anyone could access it, no?

Didn't you say that your grandpa had never been to the tomb?

Is the map reliable then?

We'll find out once we get there.

"Wu Residence"

No, wait.

Young Master Wu.

The things you requested...

You're going to a tomb again?

Yes.

I told you that I've found a Han's tomb.

Wait.

I thought you said it was a Chu's tomb?

Yes, that's right. I mentioned about Chu's tomb.

But it could be Chu's or Han's.

We'll find out when we get there.

Didn't Master Wu forbid you from going to tombs?

Why don't you listen to him?

My grandpa wanted him to get married,

did he do that?

He's still single now.

Right.

Please remind my uncle on my behalf...

that he's not young anymore.

He should stop fooling.

He has not much time left.

I'll leave this matter to both of you to settle.

I'm out of this.

Pick up, Uncle San Xing.

Uncle San Xing?

He...

Master Wu is not with me.

I'll tell him when I see him, okay?

Fine.

Pan Zi.

-Please get the things I need ready. -Shall I do that?

Okay. No problem. I'll do it.

You nearly sold me out, Master Wu.

You have to take care of it.

Can't you see?

How?

He's a grown-up.

I can't tie him down at home, can I?

Shall I prepare his things then?

Yes.

We'll charge 20 percent higher than normal price.

I only accept cash.

That IOU...

no!

It's on you.

He may be my nephew, the accounts stay clear.

Understood.

"Antique Shop"

"Snake Eye Copper Fish Yichen 21"

"Map Jiahai 317"

Satellite phones, Beidou box,

headlamp, tent lamp, water filter.

Everything's ready.

I've checked on the weapons.

They're fine.

The guns are in the car.

See if there's anything left out.

Cai Qing and Yao Chun will take charge while I'm away.

If there's anything,

ask them to contact me via satellite phone.

All right.

Right.

The list of those going.

Half are newbies and half are experienced.

They are all reliable people.

There won't be traitors like Ma Yu and Gua Qian Er.

"Personnel List"

"Xiu Xiu"

Overhaul the car before departing.

Hello, Xiu Xiu.

Nothing particular.

I'm just checking on the houses you observed on my behalf two days ago.

I've chosen a few good ones.

When will you be free?

Let's have a look at the houses together.

Sure.

I'll go with you when you feel like going.

I haven't decided yet.

It's okay.

Take your time.

Xiu Xiu.

Is there anything you want to tell me?

No.

I missed you.

I just wanted you to go look at houses with me.

Nothing else.

Right.

Back when you...

I... nothing.

I just really admire you sometimes.

Xiu Xiu.

Madam asks to see you.

My granny wants to see me.

-Let's talk later. -Okay.

Bye.

Find out what's happened to the Huos recently.

The Huos are kind of in trouble recently.

But I don't think it's something disastrous.

You wanted to see me, granny?

It looks like...

you've grown up.

Just now...

you wanted to tell Xie Zi something,

but you stopped yourself.

I'm not a child anymore, granny.

No, you aren't. You're an adult now.

Right?

Then you should do things like an adult.

Yes.

But you're still inexperienced.

Look.

You are always around Xie Zi.

And you refuse to be with us old folks.

This has been happening for generations.

But there's one thing.

You should know...

Xie Zi is an outsider.

He can never interfere with what happens in the Huos.

I...

I know.

Good.

In the future,

shall there be...

any misfortune,

you have to uphold the good name of the Huos no matter what.

I understand.

The Huo Lao Si from Changsha...

wanted to get a hold of the land.

But out of nowhere,

a competitor barged in in between.

Hence, they started to duel.

I heard that Si even went to Beijing for this,

but Madam Huo refused to help him.

Thereafter Huo Lao Si found someone with money,

and got hold of the land.

But no one expected...

an accident to happen during demolition.

People died.

It became serious.

His subordinate is now arrested,

and he's being sued.

Huo Lao Si.

I heard Madam Huo is casting off her nephew.

Or he won't have been arrested so soon.

I heard the proceedings of the case was swift

Also,

he is guilty of one more thing.

Bribery.

I heard that his men is looking for people all over the world to help him.

No wonder Xiu Xiu was so hesitant to speak.

Do we help them?

If we help Huo Lao Si,

we'll offend Madam Huo.

I think this is absurd too.

However,

Ms. Huo must be dying to help him.

The old skin has to be shed,

before the new one can come.

Madam Huo has such strong character.

If Xiu Xiu passed the test,

she'll benefit from it.

Get in the car, quick!

Let's go!

You know what, that Pan Zi...

must've charged you an arm and a leg because of your uncle.

He thinks that...

if you don't have money for the equipment,

you'll give up exploring the tomb.

The expedition...

is costing burning a hole.

Obviously, you keep spending for it,

but you never take anything from the tombs.

It's no wonder you're broke.

You're right.

I'm really broke.

Or I wouldn't sell my car...

for this second-hand Jinbei.

It's worth it anyway.

We have Wu Xie's notebook after all.

By the look of this car,

it definitely isn't a second-hand.

Mr. Naive,

can't you think things the other way round?

Let's not take anything huge from the tomb,

some little burial treasure will do.

You don't have to worry,

-I'll... -I'm calling.

We're not discussing this.

You never change.

All right.

Let's stop somewhere ahead.

My butt is numb from sitting.

I'll be disabled if I stay seated.

The driver hasn't complained yet.

♪ The girl who harvests mushrooms, ♪

♪ she's carrying a bag... ♪

Look.

Mushrooms.

Aunty, let's eat mushrooms.

-Shall we? -These go well with chicken stew.

These are vegetables we planted on our own.

Pesticide-free. Want some?

We'll let you decide.

Okay.

I'll prepare the food now.

Okay. Off you go.

I've paid too much for this.

Sir,

sorry for the bother.

Not at all.

Can I ask you a question?

Is Fog Village far from here?

Fog Village.

Never heard of it.

Fog Village.

Fog as in misty, smoky fog.

And there's a lake beside the village.

Lake.

There are lakes at both banksides of Xiaokang Village.

Which one are you referring to?

There's a mountain beside the lake.

A mountain?

I think I remember.

You may not get anything out of anybody else.

The Fog Village you meant...

existed while Yuan Shi Kai was king.

It's disappeared now.

Disappeared?

The villagers vanished.

Did they move away?

Move away?

Tell us then, sir.

The year when Yuan Shi Kai passed away,

it was chaos everywhere.

The people suffered so much.

All the refugees, bandits, soldiers,

and the Caucasians,

they left the people no way to survive.

I've strayed too far.

The only business that was doing well in town...

was the pawn shop.

In the pawn shop,

you could only see people pawning their possessions...

but never redeeming them.

In the Fog Village you mentioned,

there was a man called Zhang Da Zhu.

He'd pawned a few good items in the shop.

How good were they?

Don't ask me.

I've never seen them.

I heard there was a Red Iron Pass.

You know what it is?

A death-exemption plate.

Zhang Da Zhu didn't know about all these.

He pawned it for a few silver dollars.

And he was happy about it.

But I heard that in the village that Zhang Da Zhu lived,

someone discovered an ancient tomb.

It was a tomb of an officer from an unknown dynasty.

The tomb was filled with valuable stuff.

Every single one of them.

But the village is hidden in the mountain.

It's faraway and the route is rough.

Even the vendors goes there only once in 3 months.

The last time the vendor went there,

they were shocked to death.

Brother.

Where are all of the people?

Perhaps they are all at the tomb looking for treasures.

But the children and elders should be home, right?

They probably went together.

But they can't have all gone.

It's totally deserted here.

Uncle Lao Mo!

Nobody’s in.

Da Zhu!

Brother Da Zhu!

Brother Da Zhu!

Aunt San!

Xiao Hua!

Xiao Bao!

Xiao Bao!

Uncle Lao Mo!

Xiao Fang!

Anybody here?

Answer us if you're in.

Da Zhu!

Xiao Bao!

Uncle Lao Mo!

Here you go, sir.

Have a taste of Beijing wine.

Sir.

Please carry on.

All the people and animals in the village had vanished.

Not a soul in sight.

-There was a rumor that... -Here you go.

the villagers were engulfed by the ancient tomb.

Engulfed by the tomb?

Well, rumor has it.

Perhaps while they were taking stuff from the tomb,

they fell into the trap.

So they took all the chickens, ducks and geese to the tomb?

Chicken is here.

Stewed chicken with mushroom.

Nonsense.

That's not what happened.

I heard that a bandit who passed by...

killed them all.

Is that so, aunty?

My only question is...

why is the chicken separated from the mushroom?

Isn't it stewed chicken with mushroom?

The mushrooms should be in here,

they must be cooked together.

I've forgotten about that.

It's fine. Please sit.

I was just kidding.

Some said they were abducted by the army,

and joined the defense force.

There was a General named Zhang who passed by the village right then.

I still remember him.

His name is Zhang Gao Yuan.

How old were you then?

You weren't even born yet.

Look at how vividly you remember the story.

I wasn't.

But you were.

Didn't you hear the story from your dad too?

Seriously.

Sir,

has anyone been to Fog Village so far?

Yes.

They went for the ancient tomb.

But none of them ever found it.

Then, some said the tomb was a made-up story.

No such thing as an ancient tomb.

Moreover,

nobody's ever seen anyone from the village...

selling treasures from the ancient tomb.

I say,

it's just a made-up story.

The villagers were all killed by a bandit.

Nobody has stepped foot there since.

I bet now...

it must be covered in thick woods.

Nothing left.

Here, cheers.

Come, cheers.

You are such good story tellers.

We enjoyed it very much.

The mushrooms were delicious.

Mr. Naive.

How true do you think the story was?

At least we know that Fog Village is now abandoned.

And the villagers had discovered the ancient tomb.

That's strange then.

There must be more than 100 people in the village.

How could they vanish just like that?

Nothing was impossible back in that era.

Homicide by an army or a bandit.

People's lives...

were like weeds.

Since the entire village was slaughtered,

would the tomb be emptied too?

Great.

My efforts are wasted yet again.

Now,

I'm more concerned about the Red Iron Pass.

According to history,

the pass originated from Liu Bang, Emperor Gaozu.

But back then the pass couldn't exempt any death sentence.

It was just an honorary item.

If the pass was really found in the tomb.

The tomb just might be a Han's.

I wonder...

which awesome dude from the Han dynasty sleeps in it.
