Episode 5
Fo Ye, this Mother of Heaven
Is the most important Deity in Xuan Guan Dao
If someone has placed it here
sort of priceless treasure hidden under this mine
This is no trivial matter!
It's not me! I didn't do this!
It must be the other workers from that gang
Who secretly moved it in!
I still want to go inside to take a look
What kind of spirits and demons can it suppress?
What was that??!
Three Masters
Please! You mustn't go any deeper!
It's haunted inside!
Don't talk nonsense!
Say! What else do you know?
Confess clearly!
Our Zhang Da Fo Ye is here
No matter men or Buddha, all obstacles will be cleared
What are you fearful of these little tricks?!
Are you going to talk or not?!!
Talk, I-I'll talk
The previous generations of my family
All work here as miners
Thus since young
I've never left here
I've forgotten how long was it ago
That this section of the mines
Was bought by the Japanese
By the time it was my father's generation
They were already working for the Japanese
So in this mine, my father
Had quite some status here
And he knew some Japanese
Every time when the Japanese came
He will be the one to accompany them
Here
Faster, faster
Work faster, all of you
Faster
Sir, sir!
We've dug a hole here!
Let me see
That mine cave was since the Qing dynasty
How do you know it's from the Qing dynasty?
This is our family profession
Even if it's not Qing dynasty
But from the Qin dynasty
As long as my father takes a look
There'll be no mistake in recognising it
Since Qing dynasty, the Japanese had dug this mine cave
Then they must have come prepared
Do continue
What do they want you for?
Those Japanese
Said something along the lines of entering the mines to see for themselves
So they found my father
And brought a handful of miners
And into the mines they went
Move aside, move aside
Make way, make way!
This is it
Make way
Boss, this is a newly dug cave
It's rare
Lead the way
They followed the path downwards
My father said
He couldn't even remember how deep it was
But what gave him the deepest impression was
That Japanese boss
The path was long
The other miners
Had needed to take a breather
And yet he walked on without any rest
He isn't a simple man
Surely he must have had some skills
Sir, about these Japanese
What is their purpose here?
Ye who enter here
All hope abandon
Ye who enter here
All hope abandon
This is what that Japanese had told my father
What does that mean?
These words sound crazy
My father couldn't understand
And until now, the same applies to me
Of course you can't understand it
Fo Ye, Ye who enter here
All hope abandon
This is a quote from a Western author
His name is Dante Alighieri
He wrote a book
Titled
In the book it spoke of
A man who journeyed through Hell
What does this have to do with the Japanese?
In the book, this sentence
Was written on the door to Hell
What was written..
Does this mean this is Hell?!
Don't let them come in
Okay
There's nothing of your business here anymore
Return
Yes, yes
Brothers, go, take a quick look
Go
In a while, after they've come out
We'll enter
And kill them all in a surprise attack
They...
Started to fight later on
Your father is a realistic man
There are no other ways
There's not much earnings from just mining
My father had nothing much going on anyway
At that time, they'd thought
If these Japanese really dug something good out
They'll get themselves some of it by going all out to snatch
We can't let others' efforts go to waste
From all that time spent
What they're looking for
Is naturally not just gold or silver
But something that is more dangerous
Don't tell me..
Yes
They're building weapons for the Japanese
Building equipment for experiments
Or else
They wouldn't go to such great effort
Continue talking
What had they found?
Sir, about these Japanese
They'd gone in for such a long time and haven't emerged
Even if they're moving gold
They should be out by now
Why are you being impatient?
Hopeless
All you know is gold
By watching their behaviours
There should a priceless treasure
Help!!
Hurry run!!
What happened inside?!
Tell me! What happened inside?!
I heard that when they were running
They fell because of the smoke
This incident
Was a secret my father kept for many years
If it wasn't for that day when he got drunk and told me
I wouldn't even know
This incident is known by all the miners who escaped
That black smoke...
Yes, it's that black smoke
That chased the Japanese away
Then I must know
How it'll scare us away
Don't move! Stand here! What are you doing?
Are you trying to run?
How did this gate appear here?
Confess!
It's from the Japanese
Who came back later to install it
There must be horrifying things hidden inside
Or they wouldn't have spent so much effort to built this gate
Lieutenant, come and look
Fo Ye, look
This door is welded together
We can't go in, isn't it?
I say, let's
You want to leave?
That's not what I mean
Leave then
Is this for real?
Leave!
Fo Ye
You know I can't leave alone
Don't be so sarcastic about this
Then cut the crap
After opening this gate
I'll Bring you out
Most parts of this gate have rusted
Opening this gate isn't much of a problem
It just needs some time
I know!
Fo Ye
The hardest thing in the world
Can be countered by the softest thing
You should know this better than me
Isn't this hydrochloric acid?
Screw you, it's not only you who knows this much
Fo Ye, let me try
We can't go through here!
Shut up!
This is
Fo Ye, look!
Look at its back!
It's just a tuft of hair
Go!
This should be the centre of the cave
The surrounding looks crowded
Pity, what a pity
Fo Ye, look!
There are many things by the edges that haven't been kept away
It'll be nice if we can get some treasures too
Even if we manage to get treasures
It won't be Ba Ye's turn to get them
Stop messing around
Look around
Fo Ye, there's a mine shaft
But unfortunately it's been sealed up
Fo Ye, there's another here
But it's also sealed up
Fo Ye
All the mine shafts here have been sealed off
We have nowhere to go
The gate was welded shut
And explosives were placed there
There is definitely a secret that can't be told here
The mine is blocked off
What about the mine shaft?
If we can't find it
No one can leave
Continue searching!
Yes
Go quickly!
Don't go in, don't go in!
There are ghosts inside!
This isn't a good place, really!
Lao Ba
Tell me, what of this bowl? What does it mean?
Lieutenant
Torch!
This is rather interesting
This doesn't seem to have been placed carelessly
That's not right
These things aren't ours
This, the Japanese found an onmyoji to come and set up an alignment here
Onmyoji?
You know of the Japanese's alignment things too?
Fo Ye
The ancestors of the onmyoji
Learnt the way of the Five Elements from us
What on earth do the Japanese know of?
If my guess is correct
Look there, this bowl holds water from the well
This bowl holds water from the river
Water from the well does not mix (interfere) with water from the river
Correct, water from the well does not mix (interfere) with water from the river
I think
There's definitely something strange here
Look here, this mine shaft
Should be used by both the living and the dead together
He put a bowl of well water and river water
Implying, that neither provokes the other
Fo Ye
I'm guessing down here, there's something rather nasty
The best plan is to leave speedily
That's right! Over here
Here, here there are definitely ghosts, here!
Whether or not there are ghosts, is that up to you to decide?!
Noisy noisy noisy, if you're noisy I'll shoot you!
Alright alright alright
Fo Ye, Fo Ye, Fo Ye
I know you know no fear or restrictions
But you can't be so single-minded and keep walking on right?
If you keep walking on like this
If something really happens
Isn't that
What if we really do meet some
Fo Ye, this, what are you doing?!
You can't pour this water away!
You really committed a huge taboo!
Whether or not there is a ghost, who's to say that?
Let's go
We can't go, Fo Ye!
Quick quick quick, Fo Ye, Fo Ye!
We can't go...
(Jie Yu Teahouse)
What an expert
This game is played so riskily
Really good
Very impressive
Yes, very impressive
This game's set-up is really so dangerous
Not bad
Mr Kong, I'm impressed
Mr Kong's title as the Grandmaster
Is exactly as they say
I candidly admit defeat
I dare not accept such compliments
This time, I only won one game
I really, sincerely admit defeat
No, no
Mr. Kong truly lives up to the reputation as a national player
If I have the chance to go to Guangzhou
I, your junior, will play another round with Mister
I'll take my leave now
Jiu Ye, Jiu Ye
How long has it been since I have seen
Such an intense chess match
Both of you, during the last match
Everytime I saw that Jiu Ye was about to lose
You always managed to turn the tables around
The intensity!
Even though, you lost in the end
It was still a fascinating match!
Have you heard of the game between the emperor and his subject?
Subject, this...
Those who play against the emperor must lose
However, it must also be appear in a way
That shows losing was very difficult
So the emperor would think
That he won with his own skills
The match against Mr. Kong today
I had played that particular game
Why did Jiu Ye aim towards losing?
Mr. Kong had come all the way from Guangzhou
And on his journey, he had played countless times
Naturally he has his way of playing
If I were to do my best in every match
Surely we would enter a difficult battle
And ultimately there would not be a victor
So I played the Official's game first
Purposely showing my weakness for him to exploit
So he wouldn't care as much for the other matches
And in the end, he'll win one and lose seven matches
I'll make him lose face
But not to the point where he'll vengefully remember me
Jiu Ye, this is brilliantly thought out!
Brilliantly thought out! Brilliant!
Alright, I'm tired too
Do let me rest a bit, Misters
Then I'll take my leave
Excuse us
There's no need to see us out
All of you, please come out
Jiu Ye
You have all worked hard
It was nothing
To talk about it is regretful
All seven of us cooperated together
Yet we still couldn't win against Mr. Kong
Yes
Jiu Ye as one man could play against him for six matches
We're really impressed
Then, Jiu Ye, we'll take our leaves
Excuse us
Excuse us, Jiu Ye
Excuse us excuse us
Jiu Ye, I don't quite understand
You're so smart, yet you can't understand?
This Mr. Kong assumes that the one match he won is above the seven matches
But in reality
With the exception of the last match that was lost
All the others wasn't even played by Jiu Ye
But by the seven of them together
This reputation of losing the match
Should be placed on them
Why should Jiu Ye take this upon yourself?
What would you know?
The skills of this Mr. Kong
Should be above mine
If this was a one on one match
I'd surely lose
So I'm using those seven people together
To play an Official's game
So that the majority of Mr. Kong's concentration is focused on that
And all I need to do is to focus on the other seven matches
And it'll be all good
Jiu Ye
Fo Ye and the others have gone to the mine cave
Fo Ye has finally gone there
I knew he was impatient
But this mining incident
Will surely become a mess
I don't have many days
Of relaxation to live
Jiu Ye, your skills have to be put to good use!
Fo Ye, this mining cave appeared normal
I didn't think that it would be so big on the inside
When will we be able to find the door that the Japanese built?
This mining cave is too big
Even if my father came
He might not be able to find it
Much less me
Didn't you say you could lead the way?
Wasn't I just afraid that Fo Ye
Might kill me?
Are you playing with us?!
I wouldn't dare wouldn't dare
Then was the stories you told us earlier
Are all false?
No no no, it was absolutely true
I wouldn't lie to you three Masters
Good lord
Ba Ye, what did you discover now?
Fo Ye, Fo Ye, Fo Ye
You can't open this door
The images are too terrifying!
Fo Ye, don't go!
No, Ba Ye, tell us
We've made it here
Can you not whet our appetites like this?
I can't say!
If I say it, it'll scare you to death!
No need to ask
Based on Lao Ba's character
Even if we don't ask
He won't be able to help but tell us
Eh, Fo Ye
Do you really not want to know?
This implicates our lives
Don't come over, don't come over!
Don't come over!
Lieutenant!
Don't come over!
Don't chase him, there's no use in keeping him here
Fo Ye
Then we don't need him to lead us further?
There's no need
I believe that he doesn't know
The subsequent path either
If we keep him, he'll only cause trouble
Fo Ye
Do you really still., plan on continuing down further?
This...
Fine fine fine, I'll tell you all
Look, Fo Ye
Every beam has a notch
This means someone was hung on it
See for yourself
These are all ropes
Every rope represents one person that was hung
Think about it
This perfectly fine mining cave
How could there be so many people who were hung?
This is entirely abnormal!
If we keep going further
Don't chase me, don't chase me!
Fo Ye
There is no road from here onwards
Let's return!
There were forks in the road our entire way in
This cave
Can't possibly have no further road like this
Could it be, that when we first came in
We took a wrong turn?
It must be that the old man tricked us!
Do you want me to chase him back?
There's no need
I wasn't counting on an old man to show me the way
Lao Ba!
What's wrong, Fo Ye?
I get it!
Fo Ye, if I haven't guessed wrongly
Beneath this tank
There should be a hole, right?
Because these ripples
Spreads from the outside, inwards
They put this tank here
I'm guessing for two purposes
Firstly
To block the hole that's beneath it
Secondly
The position that the tank is placed
Is used to drive out evil spirits and demons
The onmyoji was really skilled!
Move the tank away
Okay, yes
I am certain there is something down there
What kind of things, Fo Ye?
Nonsense. We'll know when we go down
This opening isn't big enough, continue to dig
Fo Ye
Why are you doing the work personally?
If I'm not going to do it
Then are you going to do it?
Look at your physique
What time will it be if we wait for you to finish digging?
Hold this
Thank you for your trouble, Fo Ye
Step aside
I'll go down to take a look
Fo Ye! Are you alright?
Lieutenant! Throw the toolbox down!
Come on down
Ba Ye
Please, after you
Lieutenant, look
It's so deep here
How about..
You go down first
After you go down
You'll be able to catch me
You see isn't this way good?
Okay
Stop pretending. Get up. Go.
My apologies, Ba Ye
Can you watch where you're going
I've already apologised
What is the use of "sorry"??!
You've already painfully squashed me!
Ah, my goodness!
My life is almost over
Fo Ye, the soldiers you bring along, why are they all like this?!
The soldiers Fo Ye take, are JUST like this!
You still
Cut the crap!
This should be a completely new mine cave
Follow me
Fo Ye, the path behind seems to be blocked
Follow me forward
Get up, Ba Ye
Ba Ye, come here look
Fo Ye, these bits of wood
Must have broken off from the coffins
The coffins must have been transported away in these mine shafts
When you two look at this mine shaft
It is obvious that this is much rougher than the one above
In terms of age, it is also much older
At least over a century of history
This mine shaft appears to be from the Early Qing Dynasty
It shouldn't be
During that time, there were no trains and railroads
I have also thought about this issue
Did they make these coffins when they first opened the mine shaft?
Or was it when they opened the mine shaft, that they discovered these coffins?
Then who are these people?
People from the.. Early Qing Dynasty?
Or the Japanese?
Did you hear the cries of a ghost?
That, I haven't heard before
If you haven't heard it before then what are you saying
Move!
Wait wait wait! Fo Ye! Wait!
Do you guys hear that?
It's those sounds again!
It sounds like the sound of someone singing opera
That's strange
Where have I heard this before?
Fo Ye, the tunnels ahead, appear to get more and more narrow
Should we continue moving ahead?
G-Go! Of course we go!
No! Are you guys really going
I was just kidding!
(Hong Mansion)
(The Changsha Chamber's Commerce of USA)
Are you certain it's here?
Boss, I've already had a look
It's only this door
He's definitely still here
Boss! Boss! Boss!
Boss, we should go outside and wait
This is the territory of others, what if...
What if what?
I mean..
This place is too small
There is not enough room for Boss to stretch yourself
Do not think that I don't know what you're thinking
This is Changsha, territory of the Chinese
I do not believe that she can stay here and waste her days away
There are so many rooms, which one is it!
I-I-I don't know..
Then hurry up and go and find it!
Do not disgrace me!
Tell them
That if Ryouko Tanaka still does not come out
I will completely destroy this place!
Alright! Okay!
Excuse me, which one is Tanaka?
Get lost!
Mr. Chen, greetings
I hope that you are well
Cut the bullshit
Mr. Chen, do you come bringing good news this time?
I'll tell you the truth
My Master will not come and find you guys
But whatever you need doing
I can also do it
