=Candle in the Tomb: The Worm Valley=

=Episode 04=

The trees can't hold the weight of the aircraft any longer!

What do we do, Hu?

Run!

All right!

Fatty!

Chief Yang!

Fatty!

Chief Yang!

Fatty!

I'm here!

Are you all right?

I'm fine.

Fatty.

Fatty!

Fatty!

Over here.

Are you all right?

That was a rough fall.

I'm telling you,

I am most fortunate.

I'm destined for great things.

It would be a real shame

if I died just like that.

Oh, dear. My back.

I think I need a moment.

I'm going to rest here for a bit.

Just a moment.

Hu.

Look. What's that over there?

It looks like a coffin to me.

This coffin is so heavy.

Chief Yang,

you're wise indeed.

You used the rattan as a lever,

and poof,

we easily unloaded it.

We are tomb raiders, all right.

Easy there!

What are you doing?

Sorry.

Say,

what do you guys think it is made of?

Crystals or jade?

These look like

the oriental jasper we sell

in the antique markets.

Hu,

is there some saying or reasoning

behind putting a coffin in a tree according to feng shui?

Right. Hu, you know a lot.

Explain this.

The terrain here is high in the east and low in the west.

It's a deep basin.

It's too isolated.

This is certainly not a suitable place

to place a tomb by any means.

Besides, since ancient times, people have always emphasized

building graves and cemeteries in an area with good feng shui.

Trees should be planted in front of the sealing mound,

to symbolize

blessings for their descendants.

I've never seen

someone stuck a coffin inside a tree before.

It's not in line with the theory of feng shui at all.

And most importantly, it doesn't seem proper or appropriate at all.

Hu,

did that

Eighteen-character Feng Shui Scrolls of yours mention anything

about this coffin in a tree thing?

Hey. What's the big idea?

Can you even count?

It's sixteen.

It's only eighteen with you included. [*"Two" could also mean" stupid" in Chinese culture]

Hey, wait. Why include me?

Be careful.

I have a theory.

Blind Chen once said

that the Worm Valley, which King Xian resided in, had splendid feng shui.

It's a one-of-a-kind Dragon's Eye Cave.

It's like the cave of the deities.

If that is the case,

then we can't use the normal feng shui theory

to explain this.

This coffin

might only be one of many tombs to accompany the main tomb.

It is one of the several star positions around the main mansion.

Then the trunk of this couple tree

must be this jade coffin's outer coffin.

An accompanying tomb?

Does that mean

that there's a main tomb inside the Worm Valley?

A main tomb?

Then whose tomb do you think this is?

If there is a main tomb, how much do you think it's worth?

Oh, gosh.

Hu.

If this were King Xian's coffin,

it would be worth a lot of money, right?

Why don't we bring it back with us?

It'll make us rich, Hu.

Don't say nonsense.

Hey, bro.

Yes? You called?

We made a deal before we came here.

No more stealing commodities in tombs.

No, no.

No commodities stealing in tombs.

You misheard.

Oh, but her accent was quite good.

Leave getting rich for another day.

We're here for the Fowl-dust Orb.

Search this coffin for clues.

Got it.

Be careful now.

Do you think

this red stuff is blood?

Be careful.

There's no smell of blood.

But there's a strong herbal smell.

I think this red liquid

is meant to preserve what's inside.

Its purpose should be the same

as the medical Formalin we use now.

It does have a medicinal smell.

Gee!

What?

Be on guard.

This is an ancient corpse...?

So this red liquid was used to preserve the body after all.

And it is quite effective.

Do you guys see this?

A mask.

I think it's made of gold.

Take a look.

There's a short staff as well.

Is that jade?

This mask

was probably worn by a shaman or a priest

during a ritual of sorts.

Look at the swirls

on the mask.

Doesn't it look like an eye to you?

It seems that the legend of the Fowl-dust Orb

in the Worm Valley didn't come from a vacuum after all.

That's great.

These two items

will be worth enough money

to feed us for quite a while, not to mention the Fowl-dust Orb.

This short staff has a rustic shape

and its engraving is rough.

It looks like a pre-Qin antique.

So who exactly is this corpse?

A golden mask.

A short staff with dragon and tiger emblazonry.

Judging from the attire,

could this be King Xian's High Priest?

Burying his priest with him?

It looks like the king's tomb

may be inside the Worm Valley indeed.

Of course!

I'm telling you,

my left eye has been twitching a lot over these few days.

Hu,

we're going to be rich this time. I'm sure of it.

We'll overcome all obstacles and hurdles

and find the Fowl-dust Orb inside the Worm Valley.

We still don't know

where the Fowl-dust Orb is

and its connection to King Xian.

Our priority right now is to find the ruins of the ancient Dian Kingdom.

To see if we can find any clues there.

Maybe we should take these two items with us for now.

They might be connected to the Fowl-dust Orb.

Right. We have the same idea.

Once we figure everything out,

we'll hand them to Professor Sun.

Fine.

Be careful now.

Guys, look.

Something is engraved on the coffin.

This should be an engraving

designed to suppress evil spirits around the vicinity of the tomb.

An engraving to suppress evil spirits, huh?

Give me some light with your flashlights.

I'll take a few pictures of it.

There's a palace in the sky on this engraving.

Look.

The palace is built on clouds.

Could it be

that King Xian built his palace in the sky?

Impossible.

King Xian is just a ruler by the borders.

How could he be capable of building a palace

in the sky like deities?

Right.

I think that King Xian

is just trying to be mysterious.

Fatty!

Fatty!

Fatty!

Something is pulling me!

Fatty!

Hu!

Are you all right, Fatty?

Chief Yang!

Fatty, catch it!

Hu!

Hu,

those red threads are coming from its body.

Let's go.

Follow him.

Chief Yang, shoot the coffin!

Fatty!

Dodge!

I'm coming out! Don't shoot!

Fatty,

are you all right?

Look, Hu,

it dried up.

I say,

what the heck are these red meat threads?

It looks

like some sort of parasitic fungi.

It attacks living things to survive.

This red liquid not only preserves the corpse,

but also provides nutrients for the fungi.

That's why these meat threads

came alive once they came into contact with air.

So it's a kind of nutrient solution?

All sorts of strange things

pop out as we get closer to the Worm Valley.

The sun will come out soon.

Let's pack up and move.

All right.

Be careful.

Hu,

why do I feel like

we forgot to bring something with us?

Take this off.

What did we forget?

We forgot the candle.

We didn't even light the candles up when we opened the coffin earlier.

Right.

You're wise indeed, Chief Yang.

How did we forget about that, Hu?

This coffin fell out on its own.

We didn't dig up the coffin or anything. There's no need to light the candles.

Chief Yang was just kidding with you.

No, but

she mentioned the candle just now. Did you teach her that?

That's enough.

Hurry up and close the coffin.

Don't move.

Patriarch, look over here.

The one inside the coffin,

it's not the mountain deity, is it?

To be able to use such a coffin,

even if they're not a deity, they must be someone rich.

You outsiders.

We've always treated guests as friends.

But how dare you

trick us?

For what purpose are you headed to the Worm Valley?

We're biologists. Right?

We're here to catch butterflies.

I was wondering where our nets were.

We couldn't find them.

So you guys found them, right?

Thanks.

You even gave them back to us.

Patriarch,

there's an important reason

for us to be here.

Enough nonsense.

Come with us.

Don't!

We're all friends here.

You don't have to do that.

Put the guns down. Please.

You.

The guy who shot the wild boar. Yes.

I see you.

Put the gun down.

All right?

Besides, we even stayed overnight

at your place once, right?

I mean, we're your sister,

Kong Que's friends, after all,

right?

Because you guys trespassed into the Worm Valley,

Kong Que broke the tribe's rules,

and she was locked up.

That couldn't be so serious, right?

Because of you guys,

she is about to be exiled.

Why?

Because she told you the way to the Worm Valley.

But according to our rules, no outsider is permitted to enter there.

Take them back immediately.

No, wait. Hang on, Sir.

What sort of rule is that?

That's just unreasonable.

Such impenitence!

Don't come over here!

Fatty.

They're kind villagers.

Don't hurt them.

That's enough.

Take them back.

Get them.

Don't come over!

Look!

This is a grenade!

If I pull this lid off,

it'll blow everything up!

Don't listen to him.

Get them!

Gosh, it really pisses me off!

Take this!

Go!

Come on! Hurry!

Don't shoot.

I want them alive.

After them!

What's that?

Have you ever seen it before?

Get them.

They really do believe in a mountain deity!

We ought to change

that mindset of theirs!

I didn't expect that we would drag Kong Que into this mess.

As matters stand,

we can only find the Fowl-dust Orb first,

and go back to the village and explain it to them afterward.

This way.

Be careful.

These statues

might lead to the entrance to the Worm Valley, as Blind Chen said.

These are stone statues carved from meteorites.

Meteorites?

But I don't see any meteor crater around here.

My guess

is that these statues were carried here.

Those meteorites contain special electromagnetic energy

that interferes with electronics, transistors

and radios.

The aircraft wreckage on the banyan trees

must have something to do with this too.

This is like the Bermuda Triangle of Yunnan.

Seriously,

my watch isn't working.

How about yours, Hu?

The compass is not working either.

Hu,

how much do you think these meteorites will sell for

if we bring them back to Beijing with us?

Get inside the Worm Valley!

All right!

Stop!

After them!

Stop!

Stop!

Father.

Stop!

Hu,

why are we running away like mice from cats?

We have guns, don't we?

We can fight back if we have to!

Less talk. Run!

Stop!

Gosh.

Father.

Take that!

Miasma.

Shirley Yang!

Hu,

what's with the white fog?

There's something wrong with the white fog.

This might be the white miasma

Blind Chen told us about.

What do we do now?

- The gas masks. - The masks.

Don't come over here!

The white fog is poisonous!

Don't come over here!

Get back!

You can't fool me!

Get back! Don't come after us!

Let's go!

Come on!

After them!

White miasma.

Hu, catch!

Hurry! After them!

Stop! Don't run!

Brother Zha Long!

Father.

The white fog is indeed poisonous.

Come back!

Zha Long!

Get up! Quick!

Come on! Let's go!

Hu,

they're not after us anymore.

This gas mask really works.

It's a pity Blind Chen and the others didn't have equipment like this back then.

Hu?

Hu?

I can't. I can't run anymore.

I can't.

I can't go any further.

The white miasma

should have kept them all on the other side.

I hope that no one got hurt.

This miasma is bizarre indeed.

It was most likely set up by King Xian.

Look at those strange plants.

They must be the source of the miasma.

What are we going to do then?

Hu, is your hand all right?

It's fine.

We have to treat the wound right away.

Otherwise, it could get infected.

This area isn't safe.

We'll deal with it once we get to somewhere safe.

Get up! Let's go.

Let's go.

Fatty, quick! Get up!

Hurry!

Let's go.

Come on. This way.

Father,

what do we do now?

The wind is blowing.

Once the fog fades,

we'll enter the Worm Valley.
