Oh dear!
Quick! Quickly, come and see.
Look.
Tu An?
We've found Tu An!
This is Tu An!
This is a big find!
Congratulations, Professor Yi.
Let's start working.
Bring the stuff over here.
Hey, if you're not an employee, please leave the scene.
Eh, let me remind you,
we are here to find the Wood element's descendant.
Not here to look for artifacts.
This is a big find! It mustn't go wrong!
Plus, figuring this out,
may be helpful in locating the Wood Elment's descendant.
Eh,you rest by the side.
Don't bother us working.
Go away, go away.
Let's go Auntie.
I'll start.
Da Chuan,you write it down.
Ok.
This stone
is made of ____ material.
Width is 35cm.
Height, 30.
Depth, 8 cm.
Who actually thought? They actually found it!
Pretty lucky.
Lend this to me.
Hey - you!
This is what I worry about most.
Da Chuan being the same as his father.
Ok, ok.,
How many have you taken?
Let me tell you,
you mustn't delete these images.
Also, you have to help me make a copy.
You, are you commanding me now?
Why do I have to listen to you?
Didn't you say that
non-employees should stay away?
Ok, ok. I'm troubling you, ok?
Help me do a backup of it.
You're the most outstanding employee today
to have made such an important find.
Oh, and also...
the bandage on your hand,
after 12 hours you will need to change it.
Otherwise you could get a infection.
Aiyo! I can relax.
Da Chuan is not the same as his father.
Other than archaeology, he also knows how to care for others.
Eh, take a look.
There's more words!
This doesn't look like ancient script.
This is simple script. From modern times.
But according to the extent of
weathering (erosion) of the stone,
it should be
an imprint made 2,000 years ago!
Eh, wait, wait, wait!
Xiao, Xiao Chuan...!
Xiao Chuan was here for a tour!
It really looks like, XIao Chuan's writing!
How can this be?
This can't be!
This proves that our direction of investigation is correct.
Mister, I would like to ask you about something.
Have you seen
two people? Like...
Look. One is about 20 years old.
The other one older.
About this high...
I'm sorry, I haven't seen him.
Then, have you ever heard of
a place called Tu An?
Haven't heard of it.
We came from a very far place.
Does this place
have any historical sites?
Or perhaps local myths?
If I may elaborate further...
I would say, some place more unusual...
When you ask in this manner,
our region does indeed have something unusual.
The locals call him the Tiger-taming Monster.
And that is...
Our village has a thousand-year ancestral temple.
It does not worship any Buddha's statue.
What it worships
is a statue of a man stepping on a tiger,
named "Tiger-taming Immortal".
So to say,
our village was once named "Tiger-taming Village".
Tiger-taming Village?
Doesn't the rhyme mention tiger-taming?
Right.
It should be referring to this Tiger-taming Village.
Do you know the origins of this stone statue?
I don't know.
But a hundred-year old man lives in the ancestral temple.
He knows a lot of stories.
Maybe he might know.
Could we bother you to
bring us to this ancestral temple
to see this elder?
No problem.
Everyone, come with me.
Aiyah!Good!
Let's go! Thank you.
Thank you!
You heard every word just now right?
Yes.
Then go.
Old man,
I am not a person who speaks in circles.
We came from a very far place
and it's for a ring.
A ring that has a red precious stone inset.
Who are you?
Who I am isn't important.
I just don't wish to upset the peace here.
If you want, you can take it out by yourself.
If you don't want, we'll take this place apart and find it ourselves.
Old man.
I gave you face and you don't want it.
If I take action.
I'll be the same as you.
I won't be polite.
I thought you would be smarter than Wu Tian and Wu Di.
I didn't think you would be the same. Always using your fist.
I like to use both my brains and my fists.
The thousand year ancestral temple is just up front.
If you go up these stairs it's there.
They're coming.
Ok.Let's go up.
We're here.
This is the ancestral temple I spoke of.
We're so quickly meeting again.
This time,
you definitely won't be able to run away.
Eh, who are they?
They are the robbers.
Robbers?
Bo Fu, Auntie, Da Chuan...
You guys find a place to hide.
I will take care of them.
Dad, Mum.Find a place to hide.
What are you doing?
You can't do it alone
Dad, catch it!
Da chuan! Da Chuan, be careful!
Da Chuan is studying material,
not fighting material.
No can do, we have to go and help them!
My feet are not agile.
You, quickly go! Quickly go!
Quickly go!
Aiyahh! I'm also not fighting material!
Aiyo! Now I know how
Da Chuan, how Da Chuan has become a studying boy.
I want you to go and really fight!
Otherwise, you can stealthily give a vicious stab.
I also know
why Xiao Chuan has become so sly.
Just like you.
Aiyahh, stop talking nonsense, take this!Go!
Don't come over here!
Old fella!
Enough you!!
You! Let go! what are you doing?!
Let go!!
You should go and help auntie!
Quickly go!
You hit my mother!
Hurry, Old Fella. Hurry!
Protect my son! Da Chuan!
Quickly go! The bad people are there!
Everyone let's go!
Stop there!
Stop running!
Quick, quick, quick! Everyone, let's go!
Quickly, go!
There!
Da Chuan, Da Chuan!
Da Chuan!
Da Chuan, Da Chuan?
What's wrong?
Are you alright?
Are you ok? Mum.
Are you ok?
Don't worry.
Thank you. Thank you very much
All of you have lent a hand
to chase away the robbers.
That is what we should do.
If we should catch them the next time,
we must give them a good beating.
Right?
- Yes. - Right.
Can you be more gentle?
Are... are you fixing a car?
It would be easy if I were really fixing a car.
Just, this arm of yours,
put it there. Polish and wax. two days, and it would be as good as new.
Moreover,
cars don't squeal like you do.
Look at you.
Can't you have a better attitude while being kind?
You're really fussy.
Eh, let me ask you...
Today,
you knew you were going to get hurt. Why did you still fight?
I want to change your thinking.
What is a man?
Men, always, when girl are in their greatest need
step forward bravely!
Archaeology professors are also men.
Today
I must practice well.
How annoying.
But I didn't think... He really is "man".
You have endured much hardship to travel here.
How can I help you?
Elder,
we came here to find a person.
To be more exact,
we are looking for Wood Element's descendant.
Who told you?
We came as per instructions of "Tu An Tiger Taming Zhu Mu Ben",
this speech formula, to reach here.
Sir, is Wood Element's descendant here?
What people are you?
Elder,
I am the descendant of Gold Element.
Do you have any proof of authentication?
I am Wood Element's descendant.
No wonder, the moment I met you people,
I felt like you were my long-lost friends.
Elder, I have that feeling too.
Elder,
have you seen these two people?
Have they come here?
We found traces of them in the vicinity.
If I have seen them, I would remember.
May I know if you know a few lines of a speech formula too?
Of course.
The family of Wood Element
has passed a speech formula through the generations.
That is something that those robbers cannot snatch away.
He is saying the riddle.
The first part of the riddle is...
"Tu An Tiger-Taming Zhu Mu Ben".
The second part of the riddle is...
Elder, drink some water.
Don't rush, Old Mister.
These two children are very good.
It's your good fortune.
Lao Ye Ye (Old Grandfather).
What is the second part of the riddle?
The second part of the riddle is...
Quickly, go! Quickly!
Quickly! Move!
Quickly!
The second part is...
When the husband returns, earth naturally has life.
Then what's the next part?
The speech formula passed down from my family,
we only have two parts.
But Auntie's riddle has four parts.
Yes.
Happiness, anger, anxiety, longing, sadness, fear, surprise.
"Five elements should finally be made wholly natural."
"Double birth leaves heaven to create golden pill." "Tu An Tiger-Taming Zhu Mu Ben."
The first two are the prologue. We can find the clues only from the last two lines.
Looks like the descendants of each of our families
have two lines of the speech formula. The first line refers to oneself.
The second line,
gives the clue to the next family.
So...
when five descendents come together,
the entire "Tang Wu Rhyme" can then be completed.
Since we already know the speech formula,
we have to see
where the next place is.
What is it?
Dang Gui. (Chinese Angelica, a Chinese medicinal herb.)
15, 26.
Coincidently, it's the place that just got burnt.
Ah...Then what are we going to do?
The clue to find the next ring
is gone then?
Everything has been ordained by the heavens.
There is no absolute in this world.
As long as you use your brain,
you will have a plan.
That's right. We must persevere in our search.
Old Mister,
do you have with you a ring that has a red precious stone inset?
Of course.
It is in this ancestral temple.
Old Mister. Where is it?
Quickly, tell us.
Those robbers
only know how to use their fists, and not their brains.
The clue is in the riddle.
Riddle?
The speech formula says "Zhu Mu Ben".
"Zhu Mu"...
According to ancient script's direction from right to left,
It would be "Mu Zhu".
"Mu Zhu" refers to a pillar.
Could it be in one of these pillars?
My God!
You are so talented! Let's look quickly!
Hey, hey! Come and see!
You found it!
It's this ring!
That's great! Lan Lan,
we have found the second ring!
Yes, yes. When we find all five rings,
we will be able to open the box and find Old brother and Xiao Chuan!
Yes!
Elder.
I represent my whole family
and thank you very much for your riddle and ring.
Don't need to thank me.
If you need to thank (someone), then thank yourselves.
You journeyed here despite difficulties, and meeting robbers, refuse to retreat.
Otherwise,
you wouldn't have gotten these things.
Yes. Ah, right...
I need to talk to the Elder.
Everyone, please go outside.
Dad...Let's go.
What does she need to say that needs to be so secretive?
Dad, perhaps mom hopes to understand more
about matters relating to the five families.
So just forget it.
She doesn't have to be so secretive.
It's their private talk.
Look.
Son... Let me.
Mum... Let me, instead.
This should be done by Mum.
I normally do it myself.
It's ok.
Mother...
There's something I've always wanted to know,
but I don't know how to ask you.
Son, whatever you want to ask, just ask.
Why did you take Xiao Chuan away back then
and left me with Father?
Son...
There's something...
Mother...
wanted to say to you.
But, I've never had the chance to.
When you were young,
if mother told you, you wouldn't understand.
Now you've grown up,
(the reason) Mother chose Xiao Chuan then...
was because of the circumstances.
Your brother has always been a mischievous child.
Mother was scared
if I left him there, no one would care for him.
He would learn bad things.
Leaving you with Father, Mother need not worry.
Look. No one cared for you,
yet you still became a professor.
But your younger brother,
I have been extremely strict with him, and yet he keeps getting into trouble.
But Mother, do you know
I would rather have you being strict than to be abandoned?
I have followed dad for so many years, all over the world.
I never had any stability.
No problem.
I'm used to it now. But do you know,
how much I wish mother would be by my side?
Sometimes, I would envy Xiao Chuan.
I really wish for us to be one family.
Not only have Father's care, but also have Mother's care.
I kept thinking you didn't like me.
Son, how can Mother not like you?
You and your brother,
are mother's flesh and blood.
If I left you both,
I would miss you both badly, Son.
But Mother really had no other way.
No other way.
Child, sometimes when I think of it,
I feel particularly apologetic towards you.
Son...
I understand, Mom.
Actually, Dad being alone... it was not easy to bring me along.
He's a workaholic.
You know,
sometimes, he doesn't have to time to care for me.
But I know he does love me.
Mother, I really hope this time
we can find Xiao Chuan
and be a family. Together forever.
There are way too many mosquitos.
Look.
I borrowed some repellant from the old man.
Da Chuan, did you bring a lighter?
Come and help me light it.
Ah...
Quickly.
What you just said now, I heard it all.
I really don't think that there are any real problems between your parents.
How about we find some opportunities
to bring them together?
Originally, Xiao Chuan and I
planned for them to meet on Mid-Autumn Festival.
But I didn't think...
Xiao Chuan now...
Ok, don't worry.
Just leave this matter to me.
Elder,
you are truly learned and versatile.
I have reaped much from you,
let us go over.
I... still have another question.
This statue... why does it not have a head?
It's foot steps on a tiger.
Explain to me please.
What is going on?
To tell the story of this statue, that would be a long story.
Tell me, please.
A long, long time ago,
There was a country here.
This country was called...
Tu An!?
Correct. It was called Tu An.
Quickly!
Quickly, go!
Follow closely!
Quickly, go!
Follow closely!
Quickly!
Quickly! Quickly, go!
Quickly move!
Quickly!
Everyone listen! Kneel down! You must not raise your head!
Kneel down!
Quickly kneel down!
Just endure a little.
A man ought to know when to retreat or advance.
Watch them well!
Come!
Today, Princess Yu Shu comes of age.
The King issues an edict.
According to the customs set by our ancestors,
to organize a prayer-celebration
to pray for Tu An to have favorable conditions.
The auspicious hour is upon us!
Welcome the parade!
Isn't this the descent to earth of the Heavenly Maiden?
Good!
Yu Er pays her respect to Father.
Rise.
Daughter thanks Father and Mother
for raising me all these years.
Yu Shu,
you've become an adult.
From now on
you are no longer parents' carefree child.
You are Tu An's princess.
You are the princess to thousands of Tu An citizens.
Do you know the meaning behind that?
Yu Er understands.
According to Tu An's custom,
before the ceremony, you must make the correct decision.
At the moment your mother
is in her chamber praying for you.
Thanks Mother and Father.
Before...
Before Yu Er is a little bird under Mother and Father's care,
but I know, from today on,
I must fly by myself and use my own skills to protect Tu An.
This is the custom passed down the ancestors.
According to customs, you must make a decision that goes against your belief but is the correct decision.
These slaves are gifts from your mother and I for your becoming of age.
They don't know you, and you don't know them.
But they came from our biggest enemy,
the Qin Empire.
They are fated to be our enemy.
Now,
the first decision you must make is
to sacrifice them to our gods.
Sacrifice to the gods?
Correct.
Turn around,
as a princess,
you must shout it out, facing the populace of Tu An.
But father!
Yu Er can't do it.
Look.
There are woman and children!
Yu Er, you must understand you are Tu An's princess. You must act according to
what is good for Tu An.
If the decision
must be made by Yu Er,
then I must ask Father to
let them go.
Please have mercy on them, Father!
The King announces,
the slaves are to be given to Yu Shu Princess
as a gift for her becoming of age!
The princess is very understanding and agreed to use the slaves as sacrifice to the gods
to pray for Tu An's
well-being and smooth weather.
Princess...
Welcome the god
Why have the soldiers retreated?
This is not a good sign. We must get ready.
Everyone listen to me, let's form a circle. Men stay on the outside, and children and women in the inside.
Women and children inside.
Come, come! Quickly!
Slaves from the Qin Empire, listen up!
Our god is the king of all beasts.
You are offered as food.
Isn't this just like ancient Rome's wild animal matches?
Let me think...
about gladiators' characters and how they fought tigers.
You guys, don't panic...
Don't climb up the door...
You will be killed!
Move away! Come down!
Child!
Didn't you say, you would save us all! You can't even save yourself!
Let's see how you're going to save anyone now!
Someone has to do something!
It's better than doing nothing!
Let me go! Go!
Help me!
Come on!
Thank you Shen Ren for saving us!
Thank you Shen Ren...!
Quickly!
We thank you Sir Yi for saving our lives!
What are you doing?
Please don't call me Sir Yi.
Just call me Xiao Chuan.
Yes. Sir Xiao Chuan.
Fine.
Just call me Sir Yi
and
remember it's Da Ye,
not Da Ye.
Yes, Da Ye.
Why are you looking for me?
Da Ye...
Sir, we've thought of a plan.
Because of your god given strength,
we were able to be saved. But the next time, we don't know
if they will come up with other ways to plot against us.
So...
So we are asking if Yi Da Ye can help us escape.
Yes.
You've been a soldier, you should have a lot of experiences.
What do you think?
As soon as possible, without delay.
Come here.
On the way,
I've drawn a map using blood.
Look at this map.
If you follow this road here, you'll be able to get back to Qin.
Quickly!
Everyone move quickly!
Move quickly!
Quickly run!
Stop!
Everyone don't panic and form a circle!
Men on the outside, women and children in the inside.
I didn't think
that the one being regarded as Shen Ren by the slaves
could be so useless.
Running away was my decision.
It has nothing to do with them.
Of course, I know that.
But it's you who brought them to this state.
Leave this Shen Ren to me.
Everyone else, don't leave even one!
