Episode 7
Pull this together, make sure it is very tight.
Okay.
Xiao Chu, make sure you tie it so that it is very strong
Rest assured Brother Hu, I will.
- Sister Xiao Yang, let me help you!- Okay.
Let me do it, Brother Hu.
Be careful!
Xiao Chu, Xiao Sa, remember to be careful.
Professor, we know, don’t worry.
Teacher, is this tight?
This is good.
- Fatty,- Yes?
Do you have any problems?
No problems.
Stop pretending. You suffer from vertigo. It’s not like I don’t know.
If you can’t do it, stay here and wait for us.
I’m fine, I’m fine!
You go down, and I’ll be the second one to go right after you!
Are you sure you’ll be okay?
I’m sure, I’m okay, I'm okay!
Xiao Liu, we need to hurry up, and make sure our equipment is ready.
Okay!
Professor Chen!
Professor Chen, other than Ye Yixin, if their are any other members of the team who cannot go down,
for reasons like their physical or mental conditions are not ideal,
please let me know as soon as possible.
It is necessary to let them stay here and wait for us.
I've asked. All of them say they have no problem.
Since we have come this far, everyone wants to go down and take a look.
After all, a chance like this is very rare.
Maybe, only once in a lifetime.
Okay.
Everybody listen up!
What I've emphasized before, be sure to keep that in mind.
After we are down below, no one knows what the situation will be like.
It is very possible that we will run into bizarre happenings and creatures.
Maybe even dead bodies.
So it doesn’t matter what we run into
or what happens, everyone must remain calm, and stay alert.
There’s no need to be too nervous.
Da Gezi and I are the sharpshooters of our squad.
We guarantee we'll bring you back safely.
Okay, everybody get ready.
Okay.
Ga Wa, how are you?
I'm fine.
Teacher, watch your footing.
Be sure to hold on tight!
Xiao Wang!

- Brother Wang, are you okay?- Are you okay?
Fatty, are you okay?
I'm okay.
Slowly. Old Wang, let’s take a look at the surroundings.-
Let’s go.
Can’t you be more careful?
That scared me to death.
Look at how scared you are.
- Teacher.- Look at her.
Xiao Chu, how are you?
Hey, she would fly down if she could.
Look, she has had professional training before.
Here.
Here, let me help you take it off.
Did you bring it?
- Scared now?- How could I be? It's for counteracting evil spirits.
A dead body! There’s a dead body there!
Don’t touch it! Beware of bugs with fire!
Fire Ladybugs.
Right, ladybugs of fire!
Old Hu! Is it your comrade of arms?
No. His clothing is completely different.
It should be a member of my father’s expedition team.
Their equipment was all pretty much the same. I’ve seen it before.
This person...How did he die here?
He was definitely not attacked by fire ladybugs.
After their attack, all that they will leave behind are ashes.
But I don’t think this is any bad news.
At least it shows that the signals you've received from them before, were accurate.
Yes.
Leader Hu, we’ve looked around here, there is only one direction we can go.
Okay.
- Sister Xiao Yang, if there is danger, I’ll block it off for you.- What are you going to use to block it?
I’m a sharpshooter!
Miss Yang, I see that you are very familiar with guns,
you should hold onto this gun, but still be sure to be careful.
Okay, I’ll walk in the back.
Professor Chen, how is the condition of your body?
I’m fine, thank you for asking, Comrade Xiao Hu.
Brother Hu, the signal is normal here.
Good, let me emphasize again, make sure everybody doesn’t get separated, stay with the group.
Kunlun Mountain is a very peculiar place with a lot of peculiar things.
Everyone needs to be sure not to make too much noise, but try to be quiet.
In short, I want everyone to stay safe, let’s get ready to go.
Okay.
- Here, Aiguo.- Teacher, I’ll do it.
Xiao Liu, come here quickly, there is a signal!
Okay.
Look, there is a signal.
This means that all should be going well with Professor Chen.
Great! I’ll report back to the military campsite now.
Military campsite, military campsite, I'm from the expedition team.
If you receive this, please respond.
Received by the military campsite, received by the military campsite.
Expedition team please speak, expedition team please speak.
Expedition team has successfully received the signal of the archaeological team.
Currently, everything is normal. Over.
Please remain in contact, please remain in contact. Over.
The expedition team understands, the expedition team understands.
This is great! A good beginning is halfway to success.
That's right!
Sister Xiao Yang, be careful.
This is the exact South direction.
This should be the crack in between the two mountains.
This is the exact East direction.
If we continue forward, we should be right under the glacier.
- There is so much mica down here. - What's female or male?[ Mica is a type of rock mineral. Literally, it is 'mother cloud'. ]
Not an animal, it is a crystal.
Look, mica and crystals usually grow at the same sea level, just like these.
The color of these micas are very dark.
This shows that these micas were once grown in a place very deep down.
To be able to see them at this sea-level,
it is only due to the movement of the earth.
Everybody stay close.
Ga Wa, watch the people in the back.
Don't worry!
Is this worth a lot?
Comrade Xiao Ye.
Not being able to be on the frontline for this expedition, are you a little regretful?
Frankly, it is a little regretful.
But everybody is trying to take care of me, they are worried about my health.
To me,
to be able to come here with Professor Chen, who is an authoritative expert,
I am already very lucky.
Expedition team, expedition team, this is the military campsite.
If you receive this, please respond.
Received by the expedition team, military campsite, please speak.
We have received the latest weather update, there will be a blizzard in three hours.
We hope that after the archaeology team finishes their tasks, that you'll make sure everyone evacuate as quickly as possible.
Rest assured, military campsite, we will follow your order and complete our mission. Over.
Slowly.
I think I hear the sound of running water. Is there an underground river?
I've never seen an underground river before. This place is so magical.
It's so big down here. Why don't we build a secret base here?
Ga Wa, if you didn't speak, nobody would mistake you for a mute.
Hey, Brother Hu, have you been here before?
I'll slowly tell you after leaving here.
You don't need to tell me. Even my toes can guess
that you've been here before. I can tell you're not an ordinary person.
You think you're so great?
Even your toes can think?
Our leaders teach us to have an open-mind, but you have to look at the facts.
Let go of me! You must treat your fellow comrades with warmth and love. Don't you know that?
Stop talking. Go stay behind the line.
Behind!
Old Hu, this is an underground river?
Professor Chen,
we might need to wad across the water.
Everybody, rest here. Fatty and I will go check it out.
Okay, okay.
Brother Hu,
bad news! Sister Yang is gone.
What?
Weren't you ordered to guard the back of the line? Why did you come to the front to chat?
Hey, stay steady. Don't panic.
- You two, stay on guard. - Yes, sir!
Comrade Hu, did an accident happen to Miss Yang?
- Was it aliens?- Don't say nonsense.
She's back.
Sister Yang, where did you go? You scared us!
I thought the scenery over there was pretty,
so I took a few pictures. Otherwise, I would go back to the magazine company empty-handed.
Shirley, you scared us.
In the future, tell us beforehand.
I'm sorry for making everyone worry.
Did you find something and purposefully hid from us?
- No.- Enough. It's good that she's fine. Everyone, rest here.
Fatty and I will go test the water's depth.
Okay.
Old Hu, I think there's a problem with this American chick.
I understand that Professor Chen and them are here for archaeology,
but this She... She Li?
Relic? [ "she li" means "relic". ]
Stop messing around. That American chick.
Although she looks Chinese, she's actually an American.
Why would she finance our archaeology team? She definitely has other motives.
Don't forget that we only have the deposit right now. More money will come later.
Don't only think about money.
Is the water deep?
It's probably shallow.
Anyway, if something happens, I'm keeping a close eye on her.
Give the ice pick to me.
Okay.
Here.
Slowly.
You guys, hurry and come here!
What's wrong?
Old Hu, what words are those?
How would I know?
Did you not see them when you came before?
No.
But why do they look so familiar?
Familiar?
Comrade Wang.
What?
Can I see your jade again?
Okay.
Let me see.
Hey, what are you doing? I'm a human! Where are you dragging me?
- Let me see.- Go away.
Professor, why do the words on my jade look similar to the ones on the rock?
It's not similar. They're identical! They're both in the Guidong language.
What Gui language?
This is the language of Jingjue, called Guidong Language.
Jingjue is a country in the west of the Western Han Dynasty.
Xiao Wang, I remember that
when we first met, you said this jade came from bandits?
That's right. It was in Niya.
I beat those bandits until they peed their pants. I even killed a bandit chieftain.
Stop.
Professor Chen, you mean that this language
is related to the Ancient City of Jingjue?
At least, it is the same language.
Professor, that country was from the Western Han Dynasty?
That means my jade is worth more money than gold?
Professor Chen, does that mean this place
is directly related to finding the Ancient City of Jingjue?
Very correct, Comrade Hu.
Our discovery today will open a new chapter in archaeology.
Shirley,
looks like it was reasonable that your father came to Kunlun Glaciers.
Now, I'm more excited for the journal about the Ancient City of Jingjue
that he had.
- Aiguo, hurry and lead the students in recording all the writing on the walls.- Okay.
- I know, I know. - Xiao Hu, lead us forward.
Let's not waste time and continue walking.
No problem.
- Xiao Sa! - What?
You can't use flash! Turn it off.
Turn it off.
Expedition Team, you must evacuate in one hour. Over.
Expedition Team has received your message.
Fatty,
- take care of the back.- Okay.
Here, be careful.
Teacher, be careful.
Watch your step.
- Slowly.- Chu Jian.
Make sure the things on your head don't fall.
Are you observing me?
If you have anything to say, say it.
I know that you have your own goals for coming here,
but I want to tell you that this place is very dangerous.
In other words, no matter how lucky we are,
you can't neglect the dangers. Don't only care about yourself; worry about everyone else, too.
Old Hu, this cave is much warmer than the outside.
I thought this water would be cold, but the temperature turns out to be comfortable.
This might be a place of frequent crust movement. There is geothermal energy,
but this isn't good news.
What do you mean?
If you think this place is comfortable, other creatures might agree.
Are you afraid of fire ladybugs?
Not only fire ladybugs. There might be other things.
- For example, piranhas or other things.- Stop making the atmosphere so nervous.
This is scary enough already.
Professor Chen, are you okay?
Yes. We're all good.
Everybody, don't move. Giant and I will go check it out.
Let's go.
Don't shine the light.
Old Hu, what's going on?
Turn off your headlamps.
Don't shine your flashlight directly.
Ga Wa,
you're wearing the army uniform. Why do you still believe in religious superstition? Get up.
What place is this? So many dead people.
This is the legendary "Nine-Level Demon Tower".
Nine-Level Demon Tower?
This is the funeral rite for kings of the ancient Demon Country.
Professor, I've read about this before. There's another one in Qinghai.
The remains are very similar to this demon tower.
That's right. It's a pity that tower
was destroyed by King Gesar at the destruction of the Demon Country.
That means this tower is also a tomb. Is that right?
Yes. We've studied it for a lifetime,
yet nobody has seen such a well-preserved one before.
There must be a lot of antiques inside.
Not just antiques. Everything inside is worth studying.
Shirley, it is so valuable for us to make a trip here this time!
Maybe your father came for this Nine-Level Demon Tower.
Don't disturb their sleep.
Who? The dead people?
No, the fire ladybugs.
The bugs that can start fires?
Yes, we haven't seen any fire ladybugs on our way here. I thought we could luckily avoid them,
but we found their nest.
Are these blue lights from those bugs?
That's right.
What is this?
Professor, be careful.
Don't move!
Don't move it.
Here. Professor.
This is from a fire ladybug's attack.
Miss Yang, honestly,
it's possible that your father's team was...
I understand. I was already prepared for the worst case scenario.
So we must leave.
- Xiao Hu. - Professor Chen,
I have to be clear that it is extremely dangerous here. We must leave at once!
Comrade Xiao Hu.
Why are we here? What is our purpose?
What we are looking for is too important to us.
Since we are already here, of course we have to try our best to find it!
Comrade Xiao Hu, I hope you can understand.
This is an opportunity generations of archaeologists have been waiting for.
Don't look at me. I listen to you.
Shirley Yang, what are you doing? Stop!
Don't worry about me. Professor, you guys don't have to follow me.
Fatty, let's go.
Can't get any peace of mind.
Xiao Liu, I need to go down and warn them!
We don't know what is happening down there
if something happens to you as well, things will become even more complicated!
We can't just sit here and wait either!
Stay calm, let me ask the people at the temporary site again.
Temporary site, temporary site, this is the investigation team.
If you receive this, please respond.
This is the investigation team, if you receive this please respond.
Temporary site, temporary site,
Do you know how dangerous these things are?
I do.
Let's split up and look for it.
Fatty,
go stop them, don't let them go in that ditch.
Chu Jian,
be sure to record everything carefully.
Perhaps, through the number and size of the sacrificial objects,
we can find out the identity and status of the owner of this grave
Understood, professor.
Hold this.
If it weren't for me seeing this with my own eyes,
who would believe that there are such amazing human made structures down here.
Could it be... built by aliens?
The ancestors of humans were able to create amazing structures such as pyramids and the great wall.
Compared to that, how is this extraordinary?
Foreign experts have thought,
that the pyramids were very likely to be built by aliens.
You study archeology,
do not always think about aliens.
- But teacher,- Here, hold this.
shine the light on this for me.
The saiffices that were once made here, they are too inhumane.
At that time, their fate could not be helped.
A lot.
Actually, archeology and sociology are inseparable.
To be a good archeologist, you cannot only study archeology.
Give it to Chu Jian, have him keep it safe.
Pull me up.
- Old Hu.- Hurry up and leave.
Aiguo, is Chu Jian okay?
He's okay.
Put it down.
Old Hu.
