Water... Water...
Want to drink water...
Don't!
What are you guys going to do?
It's for after finishing the process...
You won't fight back and struggle, and open the wound.
Wound... What wound?
What wound?
What are you doing?
Do what?
Going to purify you.
Purify... What purify?
The selection of chefs this time
are to be sent to the palace,
so they have to be purified.
Save me!
From now on, everyday, they will only eat once.
Don't waste the food.
Take it.
Silly child.
You do this on purpose to go against me.
I've tolerated it long enough.
If you are so great, find a place and we will PK.
P what... A one on one fight.
Fine! You got guts!
Man. Yes. Open the lock!
Xiao Chuan, you can't go.
It's ok.
You will die.
Lao Fan, hold that steamed bun well.
In a minute I will eat it.
Idiot Child.
In a minute you'll have no teeth. Let's see how you eat then.
But what If I still have my teeth?
I will eat yours too.
Silly lad you sure know a few moves.
Come again.
Great! Refreshing!
It's been a long time since someone has made me fall like that.
Then I'm feeling even better.
Good. Not bad.
What is your name?
Yi Xiao Chuan.
To be honest,
I admire people like you who have courage and able to fight like that.
Don't be a slave. Become a soldier under me.
I don't kill people. Even if you gave me a sword,
I don't know how to use it.
I'm better off with my feet on the ground
and being a slave.
I won't force you. You can take your time to decide.
You've just started as a slave.
After some time, you'll change your mind.
From now on, Yi Xiao Chuan, doesn't have to wear the cuffs anymore!
In the future, if we have another chance, we will "P" again.
I'm almost done with the matter you've instructed me to.
Ah, good.
Bully people too much.
It's too unfair.
To be a Eunuch, (a castrated man who serves usually royal people)
I must be the highest and best Eunuch.
The highest and best Eunuch.
Newbie.
You have to listen to me always.
In here, every big and little thing that happens,
you have to learn them fast.
There is always seniority.
You are the last one to come,
so you are the youngest.
Anything here, in the future, you must listen to all of us.
You here. We are talking to you.
Lad, you won't learn if we don't teach you a lesson.
Hit him!
You have no rights to touch the equipment.
This is useless for you.
Listen clearly.
You're only eligible for wood chopping, fire starting,
washing dishes, and washing vegetables.
Watch your back! Let's go!
Move, move.
Get up. Carry them all.
Quickly go.
We are going out.
When get we back, this wood has to be chopped.
Understand?
Let me tell you,
I'll bring you guys to the back palace for a gamble.
Who is in the corridor? Let's go take a look.
Oh, it's chief manager Shan!
You're the chief manager of Prince Hu Hai's palace?
Why are you so free today to come over
to our small kitchen to have a look? Didn't your manager tell you?
We need a chef in the palace, and you're to recommend one from your kitchen.
He will leave with me now.
Follow you.
Yes. Who will you recommend?
I don't know. I really don't know. Hurry. The prince is waiting.
I think you're not bad. Come with me. Eunuch, my skills ain't very good.
Choose another. You then. Come with me.
My skills ain't good either.
Think it over.
Stop playing with me.
Even if i received all your money, there must still be one who has to come with me.
You three discuss it quickly.
Oh! I've thought of one person. He is of standard.
You're talking about the nerd? Where is he?
Starting the fire.
Eunuch Shan, take your time. This way, please.
Eunuch Shan, it's this fellow.
Him? No, no, no, no.
He is new. Change to another one.
It is you then. Come with me.
Aiyo, Manager Shan,
I beg you to spare me.
Don't let me go to Prince Hu Hai's palace
to serve him.
What did you say?
Prince Hu Hai.
The one who took over the position of King,
that Hu Hai.
He is also the last king of Dynasty Qin.
Give me the money. I'll go for you.
Good.
You go.
I'll give you all. I'll give you mine too.
We'll give you all.
Thank you.
Good, good. Quickly!
Come over here.
It's like that, from today onwards, you're in charge of everything here.
Cook well.
I'll put in good words for you to the prince. But if the dishes you cook doesn't suit the Prince,
if he gets angry, he will beat you to death.
Then I can't do anything.
I understand.
I'll try my best not to give you trouble.
Mmm.
Everyone stop. Let me introduce to you.
This is the new chef, called Gao Yao. In the future you must listen to him.
Then I'll start cooking.
Mmm. Go.
Do guide me along.
Manager Shan,
today's dishes are really delicious.
After the Chef got beaten,
his skills have improved.
Reporting to prince,
after Chef He got beaten,
he is no longer around (dead).
All these dishes are cooked by the new chef, called Gao Yao,
for you. Oh, I have a new chef again?
Okay. Bring Gao Yao here.
I have to ask him what is so special about these dishes.
Okay. He is already waiting outside.
Come. Get Gao Yao to come in.
Gao Yao pays respect to your highness.
Fine. Gao Yao, get up.
Yes.
Introduce these dishes to me.
What is it called?
Yes. Sire.
This dish, is called fish with minced meat.
But it isn't made of fish meat.
Spices are used to bring out the flavour of the fish. It is only done when the minced meat are stir-fried.
Then this.
This... is called chilli fish head.
This is honey made...
Enough. I won't be able to remember it.
Not bad. I'm hungry and I'm going to eat.
Manager Shan, Yes.
Gao Yao did a good job. I like him.
Good.
Thank you, Highness.
Please.
Look.
I made this specially for you.
If you didn't come sooner, it would be cold.
Looks like you're someone who is sincere.
Good. I'm not wrong about you.
Congratulations.
You've gained the eyes of the Prince after the first meal.
Take it.
I can't accept this.
You also put in an effort.
Then how about this,
I take half,
you'll take the other half. Otherwise, I won't be able to sleep at night.
This is dried fried dumpling.
This is Ke Jia's white chicken.
This is steamed bun with salted vegetables and lean meat.
You eat them together.
This is Guang Dong's barbeque goose. Salted biscuit.
Salted?
This is... Open it and it's sesame.
Partners,
you're broken.
Cracked.
I'm also broken.
From now on,
we're no longer complete.
Why do we suffer such fates?
Why do we always get bullied?
Now,
you're no longer a scoop.
I am not the Gao Yao from before anymore.
Don't worry. I will
get revenge.
Hey, thousand year old demon,
do you know "Tang Wu Ji," this book?
You shoot question at me once I'm online, and you didn't even greet me.
I'm panicking! It's already half a month. There's no news from my younger brother.
What has that got to do with "Tang Wu Ji"?
What book is this? I just read it.
It's an ancient medical book.
It is also known as a miracle book. But I really don't see
what is so special about it.
I've never heard of it.
There are still things you don't know?
Do you really think I'm some thousand year old demon?
I'm also a human, like you.
Let me tell you, if I can't solve the puzzle of this book,
all the clues are gone.
Also, we got beaten by them for nothing.
Even Gao Lan was angered.
You were beaten up?
Yes.
According to the plot in the movie,
this book holds a secret code or something between the layers,
Huh? Let me look.
Hey demon,
I really see a hidden layer.
Eh, it's a map.
Don't tell me that is a treasure map. It's too old-fashioned. I'll be disappointed.
But, but there are no signs on this map.
It isn't a treasure map? Then I'll be even more disappointed.
Eh, I'll talk to you later.
I need to go now.
I have something important. Bye bye.
Look at this map.
The coordinates are drawn using thin lines. It looks just like a chess board.
Black words are written at the sides.
It shows the order of the lines.
The red words show the position of the lines.
The person who drew this
is trying to say something by using these positions.
Look, there is a Tang Wu mountain in the map.
Yes. Tang Wu mountain is here.
Seems like the person who drew the map
is connected with the box.
There's something I don't understand. Look. This blank space.
It looks like a speech formula called "Tang Wu Jue".
The first two sentences are complete.
But the last five sentences are only halfway done.
"Tang Wu Jue".
"Happiness, anger, anxiety, longing, sadness, fear, surprise."
These are the basic emotions of nature.
What, what, what golden pill? What does it mean?
I think...
this is a speech formula for health maintenance. Look at the first sentence.
These are the seven emotions of Man.
The second sentence, "Five elements should finally be made wholly natural."
It states that the health of a person
should be based on the harmony of emotions and elements.
Although the last sentence is not complete,
but from this,
"gold pill, wood, earth, fire and water,"
it meant that man has to keep living, and help one another.
It looks likes this "Tang Wu Ji" is a book on health.
This map
comes together with "Tang Wu Ji".
But we are looking for this book.
We are not looking to cure illnesses. Right?
Not for healthy bodies. Right?
I think what my dad said makes sense.
The person who drew the map and wrote the book, must be knowledgeable in medicine.
They used medicine as a bait
to hide the real motive.
Look.
The seven emotions are referring to Man's seven emotions and six desires.
"Five elements should finally be made wholly natural." It refers to the complete doctrine of the five virtues.
What about the back?
What do the last few sentences mean?
I've said, "Tang Wu Ji" and "Tang Wu Jue"
are related to medical issues on the surface. However, there is a message hidden beneath it.
Look.
The page numbers are all red
but the prescriptions of the medicines are in black. Look at this map.
Its vertical lines are red, while the horizontal lines are black.
There must be a relation somewhere.
That's great! That is to say,every prescription
matches with the coordinates on the map.
That's right.
This empty space
should be the name of the place of the medicines.
As long as we find the names,
we'll be able to find the 5 locations on the map.
What are we waiting for? Let's go look for the names! Whether or not Da Chuan deciphers it correctly,
how can we prove its reliability? It's written over a thousand years ago!
Eh. What's up with you? Why are you late again?
I told you before and your still late.
Can't your eyes see?
I tripped and fell in the alley of Tang Wu.
Still not better yet.
Having a meeting and only telling me half an hour before.
How can I not be late? Enough, Old mum.
Mum, in "Tang Wu Ji", I found a hidden map.
There is a speech formula on the map.
We think
it is related to the revealing of the secrets of the ancient book.
Look. It's here.
"Happiness, anger, anxiety, longing, sadness, fear, surprise." "Five elements should finally be made wholly natural."
What's wrong?
What is wrong with you?
Mum. What's wrong?
Come with me.
Old Dad. What's wrong?
I've left here for 18 years now. Today is the first time coming back.
It's the same as it was 18 years ago.
Then we'll wait for Xiao Chuan to come back
and eat dinner together.
Good.
Gao Lan, at that time, ask you brother to come too.
Yes. We will definitely come.
Look.
"Happiness, anger, anxiety,
sadness, fear, surprise."
"Five elements should finally be made wholly natural."
"Double birth leaves heaven to create golden pill."
Auntie, why do you have a wooden box like this?
You, Tang Wu mountain,
and the box are connected?
This wooden box
has been passed down by generations for many centuries.
It hides the secret of our family. When I was young,
I've remembered this speech formula by heart.
Before this,
I didn't know what the secret was with the box.
Until today. I saw that map.
Family secret.
Did I hear right? That is too cool.
This is my family tree.
So many generations with only a single child.
To protect the secret,
only the name of the person who inherits the secret,
will be written on the family tree.
From the family tree,
this secret has been passed down for almost 2,000 years.
The gold element carrier in the first generation,
if it is calculated correctly, it is in the same generation as the treasure box.
You are correct.
The gold element carriers are instead my first generation of ancestors.
He specialises in gold handicrafts, locks, and its mechanisms.
The skill is also passed down.
Now it is passed on to me.
The gold, in the speech formula, means my family.
If there is a gold element carrier,
then the four other elements,
also have their respective carriers?
My son is certainly clever.
These five elements carriers are trained under the same Master.
After that, they lived separately and have their own descendants.
What this secret is, I don't even know.
It is said that when only the descendants of the five families
appear in a common place, will this secret be disclosed.
Auntie, I want to ask a question.
You have two sons, Da Chuan and Xiao Chuan. Then who are you planning to pass this secret onto?
Gao Lan.
To tell you the truth, this question I still haven't thought about,
It's been so many years,
How come I didn't know about this secret?
If I told you and Da Chuan about this secret, would you research on me like an artifact?
Look.
This is the treasure passed down by my ancestors.
Look at this hole, and again at this ring stone.
This is the key for the dragon lock!
Mmm.
So to say, the descendents of the five elements carriers
have this particular ring stone.
That should be.
As long as we find the four other pieces, we'll be able to open the lock
and open the treasure box.
Mmm.
This is a shared secret among all the five families.
This secret should be in the box.
Aiyah! But the box is lost now.
Otherwise we could try it now.
Now we don't even have the box.
Even if we have the ring, what's the use in that?
You don't have the box, but I do.
Hello.
Hello, Ye Fang. Where are you right now? I am outside their mother's house right now.
Watch over them. Don't even let one go.
I want to capture them all at a go.
Understand.
Stop.
This time I will personally take care of it.
To get that map
and that ring, I won't disappoint you. I believe you won't disappoint me.
But right now, Is not the time for you to personally go.
Remember, learn to wait. Wait for the critical opportunity.
There are still the locations of the four other rings
which we need them to help us find.
Are you questioning my strength? (To do the job)
If I have the map,
I will be able to find the other four rings myself
But there are a lot of things that
only the descendants of the 5 element carriers will know of.
The only thing that we should do now,
is to follow their conversations closely.
What we have encountered on Tang Wu Shan has proved that
the people who had stolen our box have been tracking us all along.
Now that the box is in their hands,
we should continue following the clues
and they will surely follow us again.
Then we can get back the box.
Aiyah! Then what are we waiting for?
We should start looking for the descendants of the other 4 element carriers.
Auntie, hurry up and tell us where we should be able to find them.
To tell you the truth, I'm also not sure of their whereabouts.
So many generations have passed.
Over 2,000 years.
Not to mention that they lived apart from each other in the very beginning.
So there's no way I could find out where they are.
So now,
we can only depend on the map and this poem to find them.
First let's see whether the map can help us find any clues.
If it does work,
then we will know where we are right now.
Yes, yes! I will read the book!
Da Chuan, you read the map. (Recites poem.)
Look, the red number is 36.
Black number is 48.
Find it.
Latitude 36. Longitude 48.
It's here.
Now that we have the location of Tang Wu Shan and our house,
we can use the distance drawn on the map and the actual distance to calculate the legend.
Yes.
The next sentence of the poem is... (Recites poem.)
That should be referring to the location of the wood element carriers.
There is a place called 'Tu An' marked on the map!
Look.
It is situated near the Great Wall of China.
According to the map, Tu An should be a small country located on the North-West of China.
But from my memory,
there hasn't been any record of this country's history.
Eh, there is a place called 'Fu Hu Tang' over here!
Red number is 45. Black number is 20.
It's over here - oh! It's really within the boundaries of Tu An!
It's north-west from where we are now.
I'm still thinking about my wife.
We had only just got married
when I got captured here.
Maybe she has remarried...?
Don't be so pessimistic.
I think she must be waiting for you.
No. I hope she remarries. The sooner the better.
She must make use of her youth.
I can't let her wait for me forever.
In this world,
how will a woman like her survive on her own?
Don't be sad. I'll take a
wedding photo for the two of you.
Is she beautiful?
I don't know.
What?
I've never seen my wife.
What?
As soon as we got married, I was caught to here.
I didn't even have enough time to take her head cloth away.
No way! How sad!
Then your wife's name, you must know right?
I know. She is called Meng Jiang Nu.
Meng Jiang Nu?
Your wife is Meng Jiang Nu!
Do you know my wife?
Everybody on Earth knows her!
Who doesn't know
the story of how Meng Jiang Nu cried until the Great Wall fell?
My wife really did that?!
(Murmurings of surprise.)
It'll take to long for me to explain this story to you.
Anyway, what happened was -
Quickly run!! Someone is coming! Quickly run!
Quickly, get up!
Wait! I'll go get the keys!
Brother! Quickly, unlock him!
Unlock him yourself!
Lao Fan, unlock yourself! I'll go help!
No! We'll go together!
Otherwise you will die!
Take it.This is war.
A pole cannot kill people. You have to learn to use the sword.
I don't want to kill people.
Don't want to kill people. Then go away.
I killed someone.
Get up! Quickly, go!
Don't care about me! Quickly, go!
Quickly! Back people follow closely!
Quickly! Follow closely!
Quickly! Move!
Quickly!
In front, is the capital of our Tu An kingdom, YaChen.
You slaves
had better behave yourselves and stay within this fortress.
After a few days,
when the time has come,
we will send you into the city. You there, guard them closely!
Yes sir!
Your wound is not healed yet.
Don't move. Otherwise you will infect it.
Do you hear me?
'Xiao Chuan was here'.
Thus I go down in history.
Slow down.
The surroundings here are similar to what is drawn on the map.
From the looks of it, it is somewhere here.
This is going to be troublesome.
Look, it's cliff walls all around here.
Even if there are markings,
after 2,000 years, there won't be much remaining.
Hey! What are you thinking?
Didn't come here for you to find artifacts.
We are here to find living people.
If there are living people, there will be clues left behind.
I forgot.
Eh, Bo Fu, Auntie, and Da Chuan, over here.
Eh, what are you doing? Coming for a holiday?
This is specially for my blog.
In the future, you got to come often and help me raise my hits ratio.
Another one. Get closer. Enough.
Ok.
Gao Lan! Are you ok? Quickly.
Quickly, get up!
Look at you. I asked you not to take pictures and you still did it.
I was off balanced.
Aiyah! You're bleeding. Quickly. Plaster.
It's ok, Auntie. I'm really fine.
Put a band aid on it. Listen.
Oh dear!
Quick! Quickly, come and see.
Look.
Tu An?
