[Episode 44]
- A'Lai! - Yes.
Dad, you're back! How was it? How did it go?
Get some water for everyone to wash up.
Okay.
Is there any water?
There's some here.
The terrain in this area is very complicated. Locating it will be very difficult.
Fortunately, we brought enough men this time. We can go in separate groups.
This way, the odds are higher.
We have to further study this map carefully.
Okay. Let's sit down.
Could it be here, Miss?
What a disappointment! It was a perfectly great adventure, right?
But a Cheng Yaojin just had to intercept us halfway, causing us to return in vain. (General Cheng Yaojin of Tang Dynasty ambushed his enemies and disrupted their plans)
Say, do you think the people of the Qin family are reincarnated from bandits?
No, they are exactly bandits.
All along the way, they robbed us of everything we found. Don't they have any new ideas at all?
Fortunately, all of us escaped from the Buddhist cave safely.
Correct. Fortunately, nothing bad happened to Xiao Rui.
As to the other matters, we'll think of the solution later.
What solution can there be? We don't even have the map!
Forget it. Xiao Rui is quite sad that the map was taken from us.
Don't look so sad when we go in later.
We must try to give him some positive energy. Let's go.
[Hamu Basin]
Please rest for a while.
If there's anything, we'll think of a way tomorrow.
To the north is Hamu Basin.
To the south is Qinglong Mountain.
To the north-east is Aoyu City.
In the south-east corner is Liujin Town.
To the east of Liujin Town is Cassam Oasis.
In the center is Sang Mu'er Canyon.
To the west is the desert's poplar forest.
What is this?
Map.
Is this the map which was snatched away in the Buddhist cave?
This is really great! We were just wondering just now what we should do. You actually drew it!
What is it, Xiao Rui? Are you having headaches again?
Don't draw anymore. Take a rest.
No. I should draw it quickly while I can still remember it.
Otherwise, I might forget it after I wake up from my sleep.
Right. Furthermore, the Qin family got the map first before us.
I reckon they must have set off by now. If we have the map now,
we can catch hold of time and get to the tomb of Feng Quan.
They have the advantage of time. We must act quickly.
- Let me pack up and we can set off immediately. - No need.
There's no need to hurry.
The map covers a very large territory.
There's no way for us to determine the location of the tomb of Feng Quan at all.
I can only draw an approximation.
Let me have a look.
Aoyu City? Cassam?
Where are these places?
Look. We are right here now.
From the areas shown in the map,
there's a basin and a canyon from north to south. There's a desert and
a poplar forest from east to west.
The terrain is too complicated. It will be very difficult to search.
Furthermore, we don't have any hints regarding the location of Feng Quan's tomb.
That is to say, even though we have this map, the situation is still not too optimistic.
That is not necessarily so.
How is the progress?
We entered the Buddhist cave smoothly but were ambushed by the Qin family.
The map of Feng Quan's tomb was robbed.
How is Zhuang Rui?
He is not too well. He fainted when we came out of the Buddhist cave.
But when he woke up, he redrew the map based from his memory.
Protect Zhuang Rui well. Report to me anytime if there's any situation.
I understand.
I marked four areas on the map where Feng Quan's tomb is likely to be located.
Send two teams separately to look for it.
I understand.
We are right here now.
To the north of Liujin City is Aoyu City.
When it's time, send someone there to check carefully.
I understand.
This area is the most bustling. So, the possibility of Feng Quan's tomb being located here is very great.
- Further, send another team to this place. - Okay.
The Cassam Desert.
In the Cassam Desert is a place called Kubuqi. It is very near Liujin City.
The possibility of Feng Quan's tomb being here is even greater.
I understand.
If you can't find it in these two places,
the two teams will proceed to Hamu Basin and Sang Mu'er Canyon.
Okay. I will send the men over there now.
Wait. If you can't find it in any of these places,
then we will have to look for it in places that are even more westward.
Miss, looks like we have forgotten one place. Old Zeng Guest House.
Think about this. Since Zhuang Rui lost the map,
they will definitely take some actions. We should take this opportunity to...
No. Our aim is to locate Feng Quan's tomb.
Besides this, any other actions will just be new issues that might complicate matters.
Miss,
- Zhuang Rui— - Please have a good grasp of the main point of our operation.
Miss, Zhuang Rui is too cunning. We should take this chance to kill him now.
Forever eliminate any future trouble.
Don't you understand my words? Quickly move.
[Sang Mu'er Canyon]
[Old Zeng Guest House]
Mr. Feng!
I was here before to see you.
Mr. Feng, is your hand better?
The doctor said that it will be completely healed in half a month. No need to worry.
Mr. Zhuang, I came to see you,
but you were all in the desert then. Did everything go well?
The road to good things is full of setbacks. We must continue to work hard.
Oh, right. I heard from A'Lai that you want to give me something.
I have one thing to ask you.
That day when you saved me in the factory,
I asked you how you knew that there was a "Feng" character inside the Tang Dynasty tri-color porcelain.
You said that it was good luck. Were those honest words?
This... Actually, back in the ghost market,
I shattered one Tang Dynasty tri-color porcelain and it had that word carved in it.
This piece of jade has been passed down in our family for generations.
It is our family heirloom that has been passed down for thousands of years.
It is a priceless treasure of our Feng Clan, but I am quite skeptical.
What's your opinion about it, Mr. Zhuang?
Mr. Zhuang.
Mr. Zhuang!
J-Just like you said, this is a priceless treasure.
It seems that you are seeing what I am unable to see.
Mr. Feng, this used to belong to Feng Quan. If this is your family heirloom,
then you must be a descendant of Feng Quan.
It seems that you have heard of this extraordinary ancestor of mine.
I am glad I came here today.
You are the person that my family has been waiting for for generations.
There's an ancestral lesson that was passed down alongside this jade.
Anyone who's able to have special sight like my ancestor,
Feng Quan, and see through the real value of this jade,
will be its real master.
Now, it's yours.
Th-This... is such a coincidence.
I also couldn't believe it. I initially thought that after being passed down for generations,
something might have deviated along the way. How could there be such a person in this world?
But since it's a family heirloom, I can't just casually throw it away.
Only until earlier did I believe
that there was indeed such a person in this world.
Feng Quan was really an extraordinary person. His story and his experiences
were legendary. By giving me this jade,
you have provided me great help. Thanks. You're such a good person.
No need to thank me. It's an honor to be able to help.
I finally get to meet the special person that the Feng family
has been waiting for all these generations.
I guess we were destined to meet.
You're right. We were indeed destined to meet. Mr. Feng,
are there any other stories about Feng Quan?
I actually don't know too much about him.
If I hadn't met you, I probably would have forgotten
about this piece of jade. I hope you will be able to
solve the puzzle handed down by my ancestors.
- Goodbye. - Bye.
Eat some more.
I got it.
I know the location of Feng Quan's tomb.
Miss, we got news that they didn't find it
in Hamu Basin. Adding the current Qinglong Gorge,
all four places where the Feng Quan tomb might appear were all found to be wrong.
- Continue moving forward. Let's go to a farther area. - Okay.
Get ready!
Hello, Jia. Hey!
Feifei, how is your progress? Do you miss me?
I do. I do. I miss you so much, my Teacher Xiao Jia.
Let me tell you that the natural landscape here is so great.
Inside the Gobi is a desert. Inside the desert is an oasis.
Although the populace is few, it's quite magnificent. If we have a chance, I'll bring you here.
How come it's you? Where's Feifei?
- Ah.. she's unimportant. - How am I unimportant?
That, Teacher Xiao Jia, it's been so long since I heard your gentle and pleasant voice.
How come you suddenly thought of calling me?
Who called you?
I was worried about Zhuang Rui's health.
With me around, why worry?
With me being so smart and quick-witted, I surely can ensure everyone's safety.
With your small built, I'm sure you won't be able to even protect yourself when there's a real danger.
How is that possible?! Teacher Xiao Jia,
I've been bearing heavy responsibilities throughout this journey.
I manage the resources of everyone here.
- Teacher Xiao Jia, what's wrong? Are you all right? - Okay already?
Wait for me to bring everyone back victoriously!
I'll call you later.
Huangfu Yun, you are really shameless.
You actually claimed that you bore great responsibilities?
I... just don't want Teacher Xiao Jia to worry about our safety, so I said that.
Moreover, I must establish a responsible and secure image
in front of Teacher Xiao Jia.
Or else, how could she entrust the rest of her life to me?
You brag without a draft.
It's also good to make Teacher Xiao Jia be at ease.
These past days, she has been at tenterhooks.
At the very least, the current situation is indeed quite stable.
We also now have a direction.
Never thought that yesterday, we were still anxious about how to find the path. But today, we are already on our path towards there.
Xiao Rui, I think you're really awesome! Let me give you a heart.
Quickly use your magical eyes to look at my passionate heart.
Don't give me a heart. Give it to Feng Quan. He's really superb.
He hid a huge world inside that small jade.
It's indeed quite strange. I carefully looked at it
and find nothing strange. That was just an ordinary jade.
Okay then. We probably would find the tomb of Feng Quan before the Qin family.
That's right. Those idiots
must be like headless flies wandering around somewhere.
This time, no matter what trap they devise, it won't work.
Brother Gui, they've entered the poplar forest. My car can't go in anymore. Am I going to continue to follow?
- Continue following. - Okay. I will continue tracking them.
Timing and Subtitles brought to you by the Dragon Guardians @ Viki
Miss, drink some water. They're coming here.
They've set out?
Zhuang Rui and his three companions in one car. They are coming here to the Great Canyon.
Our guess was right. This is the only place we haven't searched.
Say, it took us so many days to find this place.
How come they can easily do so?
I suspect that Zhuang Rui must have found some new clues.
Miss, how about we do this?
Let's secretly follow them and let them take us to where we want to go.
- Continue sending people to follow them. - Yes.
How far are we still?
Brother Gui, they entered the great canyon. I would be too obvious, so should I still continue to follow?
It's too easy to get exposed. Just withdraw.
Okay.
Miss, look.
Are you sure?
I'm sure. Look. He has a map in his hand.
But Zhuang Rui is very cunning.
Could he be tricking us?
Miss, I'll lead someone to kill them now
and steal the map. Won't that solve it?
No need. Going there now will alarm them.
Miss, what's there to fear about alarming them?
No need for that. Just send men to watch Zhuang Rui.
We can find the tomb of Feng Quan just by following him, so why the need to kill people?
Miss, it's also fine not to kill him. Let's just abduct him then,
so he won't cause us trouble in the future.
Miss, if you have misgivings, let me do it.
What are you going to do? I know what should be done.
No need for you to order me around.
I really can't take it anymore.
- Miss. - I've been having diarrhea since last night.
- Did you eat something bad? - I'm just having a craving when I see any food.
I think you like the katydid more.
How about this, I'll gift that katydid to you?
♫ Afraid that when I clean the room again ♫
♫ I will startle all of these ♫
This is my first time knowing that someone else needs me.
This is also my first time knowing that I can help others.
♫ I never thought that the sky would change ♫
♫ That the world with you would have continuous dark rainy days ♫
♫ Naively, I thought that as long as I foolishly wait ♫
I never suspected you before. I've always trusted you.
The reason for approaching me
is to use me to get the jade eye.
Am I right?
Miss.
Miss, Old Master said that the temperature drop here in the desert is huge.
You must take good care of yourself.
Drink some ginger tea and rest early.
You few, go snatch the map. Don't bother with Zhuang Rui's life.
Yes.
What are you people doing?
Miss, I initially hoped that ginger tea would have made you sleep longer.
I never thought that I still disturbed you.
What do I want to do?
I'm just doing something that you should have done a long time ago.
You're not allowed to touch Zhuang Rui.
Who's not allowing it? You?
If not because you hindered it, Zhuang Rui would have died a thousand times!
Miss, once I get the map,
I'll apologize to you then.
Brother Gui, we're in position.
Are you all ready?
We're ready.
If you dare touch a strand of Zhuang Rui's hair,
I will never forgive you!
Do it.
No!
Brother Gui.
Zhuang Rui...
One dead, one injured. The others have escaped.
It's fine if they escaped. Just one Zhuang Rui is enough.
A fake?! A fake!
Take him away. If the fake one is here,
the real one won't be able to escape. Go!
- Yes. - I knew it.
Zhuang Rui wouldn't have been easily caught by people like you.
If we continue to move forward from here, we'll reach the location.
With our speed, we probably can find the cave before dawn.
Our fortune is quite good. We didn't meet any people from the Qin family along the way. Looks like our plan was effective.
Starting now, let's divide into two groups.
The four of us would be going around in circles in the great canyon,
so we can attract the attention of the Qin family and delay time.
You and your people will be in-charge of charging towards the cave on the west and look for the tomb of Feng Quan.
The Qin family came prepared. Just directly exposing yourselves in their scope of surveillance is too dangerous.
I suggest that we should be the ones to drag them, while you four look for Feng Quan's tomb.
No. If they use force, you would be in danger.
The tomb of Feng Quan is too unique.
The specific location and internal structure is still unknown to us.
Only Zhuang Rui can personally complete this mission.
And we are confident that we can drag the Qin family to give you guys more time.
Don't worry. We will surely maintain a safe distance
and arrive at our meeting place on time.
Be careful.
Let's go there.
I hope that Kojima and her men are fine.
Kojiman and Aoyama are good fighters. I'm sure they can handle it.
They definitely will be safe.
Let's go.
Listen. We must divide now.
I'll go to the cave to inform Zhuang Rui about this. You all try your best to delay them.
Okay.
- You must be careful. - Okay.
Okay. Keep safe.
Let's go.
My stomach is aching!
Miss, what's wrong?
It's here.
Here?
The tomb of Feng Quan is here? Isn't that just a sundial?
There are no people here, so why is there a sundial?
This may look like a sundial, but it's not.
It has an additional dial compared to the usual ones.
The secret of Feng Quan's tomb must be on this sundial.
Say, is that Feng Quan a teacher?
He even left a math problem here.
Looks like, moving that needle is useless.
- It's not useless, but he just moved it wrong. - Huh?
How should it be done then?
Look.
Look at what?
Feng. Yi. Wei. Xiang.
These are small seals. It's the Chinese characters during the Qin Dynasty.
Mr. History Major Graduate, quickly translate to us what it is saying.
Since everything is just a void, how could you discern anything?
Light and darkness, who can fathom what took place?
This Feng Quan not only left us a math problem,
he even left us an ancient language comprehension problem.
That is "Heavenly Questions" by Qu Yuan in the compilation book "Chu Ci." (Qu Yuan is a great minister and poet of Chu State, eventually conquered by Qin Shihuang; Chu Ci was compiled by Wang Yi)
It must hold the answer to this sundial.
Its general meaning is, "How are Heaven and Earth created?"
"How do you differentiate light, darkness, and formless mass?"
"How was it arranged that there is light during the day, and darkness during the night?"
How is that related to the sundial?
What the sundial represents is time. You should be asking this instead.
What is the relationship of these characters with time?
Day and night are both twelve hours.
It means that day and night both exist together.
Day and night are of equal time.
Isn't that one day?
One whole day is made up of twenty-four hours.
That is one day. That is the answer.
It opened!
This mechanism is so profound. Looks like the Qin people are really smart.
What Qin people's smartness? This is the intelligence of us four combined together.
Let's go.
Zhuang Rui!
Old Master, I was able to get him to talk. We're setting out.
This time, there surely won't be any more problems.
Brother Gui!
What is it?!
Brother Gui, Miss has escaped. She caught me off guard and knocked me unconscious.
What? She must have gone to inform Zhuang Rui.
Let's immediately set out! Go!
You act so fast. Just you? Where are your men?
Don't misunderstand. I don't intent to hurt any of you.
Why did you come?
I came to tell you that we've seen through your disguise.
The people who acted as you have been injured and captured. Brother Gui is on his way here. You all should leave quickly.
What? Got captured?
People disguised as us? What do you mean?
It might be Kojima. Just to distract them, she and her men
disguised as us.
Yes.
Injured and captured? Are there lives in danger? How many have been captured?
Just one.
Brother Gui is on his way here. Quickly leave.
No, what act are you performing now?
Isn't Brother Gui your man? He's not with you?
Brother Gui disobeyed my order.
He even had me guarded. I secretly escaped.
Why did he lock you up?
Throughout this journey, Brother Gui kept wanting to kill you and I kept stopping him.
Yesterday, he caught that impersonator and drugged my drink.
When I fell asleep, he tortured and interrogated that impersonator to find out your location.
Even if it's like that, why did you come to warn us?
You keep following us and have stolen the map while in the Buddhist cave.
Isn't that all to find Feng Quan's tomb ahead of us?
I want to find the Feng Quan's tomb to fulfill the mission entrusted to me by my father.
But I never thought of harming you guys throughout this journey.
Especially Zhuang Rui.
Believe me, I came to save you.
You've lied to me so many times before. How can I believe you?
- Kojima? - She didn't lie this time.
What she said is true. A'Bu has been captured.
Brother Gui most likely will be here soon. We all are in danger.
Kojima, are you all right?
I'm fine. Aoyama has gone back to get reinforcements.
Brother Gui brought a lot of men and they have weapons.
We must leave this place now.
What are we still waiting for? Let's quickly withdraw.
Wait! It will take Brother Gui still some time to get here. Let's just hurry.
We might be able to find Feng Quan's tomb before that.
It's fine. No need to be afraid even if we encounter them. You have me.
I... am here, too.
I am representing Mr. Nakagawa to protect you.
I swear that I will ensure all your safety.
But your wound...
No need to worry about such a minor wound.
Okay. Let's go.
Miss Qin, don't follow inside anymore.
If you get hurt, your father will worry.
But I came out here behind Brother Gui's back.
At this point, I won't be able to go back anymore.
Miss Miao, I want to go in with you.
If you do anything to hurt Zhuang Rui, I will never forgive you.
I will not hurt him. I never will.
