[The Mystic Nine]
[Episode 36]
Ba Ye!
Old Ba, what are you doing?
Which person could make Ba Ye kowtow nine times?
"Bury, but not cutting off the grass. That's what they call grave robbing. Burying near one's ancestral grave will bring harm to your descendants."
- "One grave prospers, but ten graves will end up alone and impoverished." - What is he reading?
- He's reading the Qingwu Scripture. - Qingwu Scripture?
The writer of the Qingwu Scripture is Qing Wuzi.
"Inside and outside encroach on each other, and will naturally create Fengshui. Observe through your eyes
and know its temperament. If you're able to comprehend,
you can run amuck in this world."
Qing Wuzi came from Sanliao Village.
He's the most famous Fengshui expert during the Northern and Southern Dynasties.
Also, the person I admire the most.
Today, just because of sheer coincidence,
I was able to enter his tomb.
This is really a great honor.
Qing Wuzi traveled the world and loved collecting mysterious stones.
I heard there was one very huge meteorite
that crashed into the mortal world.
Because of its enormous weight, it was hard to transport it;
hence, Qing Wuzi constructed an ancient tomb around it.
After the ancient tomb was constructed, strange things started to happen because of the meteorite.
To research the meteorite, Qing Wuzi set up his secluding living quarters inside the ancient tomb.
Outside, he designed the Eight Trigram Mysterious Formation
to prevent evil people from approaching the stone.
But afterward, for some unknown reason, landslides occurred.
The whole tomb got buried underground.
From then on, this huge tomb disappeared from everybody's sight.
And Qing Wuzi also disappeared without a trace.
Because no one could find this ancient tomb, everyone thought that it was just a legend.
But I never thought that
after years of being underground, this ancient tomb
would be able to form such a huge mining mountain.
How was this ancient tomb created?
It's really so magical.
[Based on the novel "The Mystic Nine" by Nanpai Sanshu]
[The Mystic Nine]
Qing Wuzi and I are really so fated.
According to the Hatoyama Report, Hatoyama Miyoshi came to China to look for the meteorite.
He might have read about a meteorite crashing in the county's documents.
The Chinese Fengshui is also very active around this area, that's why he came to this place.
What you mean then is I should be thankful to him?
Since Qing Wuzi created a unique tomb like this,
it then means that this meteorite is not to be belittled.
According to ancient texts, the crashing of the meteorite caused strange phenomena.
Actually, this kind of phenomena is termed "magnetic field" in the Western world.
The Japanese went down here probably for that.
Look!
Ba Ye, you think the one buried inside the coffin
might not be a corpse, but a meteorite?
Impossible. Qing Wuzi had been researching on the meteorite all his life.
He would have surely been buried here and had never left.
Everyone follow me. Be careful.
Let's use the chains.
Why are we back here again?
- What to do? - That's right. What do we do?
Can you really do it?
- I don't want to die here. - How come we still can't get out after walking for so long?
Do you really know how to get out?
Shut up! If you're that capable, you go out yourself!
What do we do? If we continue to waste time like this,
those treasures might have been completely taken by them once we get out.
What treasures? What's important is to preserve our life!
Let's first think of a way to escape from here!
What way?
- There are monsters. - Where do we go?
Would we be forever trapped in here?
I'm out of water.
All of you get up! I found the passageway out of here!
Be careful.
Be careful. Go.
This... Fo Ye, the bottom...
Walk slowly!
- What has happened? - Fo Ye, something grabbed my leg.
Something?
What's happening?!
Stay calm. Immediately leave this place with me.
Okay. Hey, Fo Ye! Slow down! Wait for me!
Everyone, be careful. Let's go.
Sir.
It's been several hours. They surely have reached the bottom.
I've never been down there, so how would I know?
Yes. Yes.
Prince of the Third Rank, may I ask how you know Zhang Qi Shan, Zhang Fo Ye?
How's your relation?
I don't know any Zhang Qishan.
I only looked for some experts to go down the tomb.
This is a money-making ordeal.
In the current world, money is the most important thing.
Right. What you said is very right.
But Prince of the Third Rank, do you trust them that much?
Aren't you worried that they will keep your share for themselves?
You're right!
Officer Lu, do you have any smart suggestion?
In my opinion, they are here to work for us.
Why must we share the treasure with them?
How about we do this? Once they're up here,
let's secretly kill them.
Let's just divide the tomb treasures among the two of us. How about it?
Right! Let me tell you
that once they're up here, I'll look for a huge mansion for them.
Serve them with good food and drinks.
Let them get drunk and die in their dreams. Turn them into disabled persons.
Officer Lu, what do you think of my idea?
Prince of the Third Rank, you really love to joke.
I still have some official affairs to attend to. I'll take my leave first.
- Do you want to leave together? - No need.
I have a car. How about you ride with me?
Let's look for a place to have some drinks
and have some ladies to accompany us. How about it?
I'm grateful for your offer,
but I really have official matters to attend to. It's inconvenient for me to do so.
- Then, just enjoy. - Okay.
- I'll take my leave. - Forgive me for I won't send you off anymore.
Goodbye.
Challenging me?
- Prepare the car. Let's go to Madam Zhang. - Yes.
[Zhang Manor]
Prince of the Third Rank, how are things?
Don't worry. They all have safely gone down.
That Lu guy has been driven away by me.
Thank you!
Look at you. You're being a stranger.
Who is Fo Ye? He's my brother!
I came this time to help all the way.
Lu Jianxun has set up a lot of spies here.
With you visiting here, I'm sure he would be able to guess your connection with my husband.
I came this time to discuss this matter with you.
I think that based on the current situation, that Lu guy is already suspecting.
I might have exposed myself.
You should remove all those spies in your manor.
It feels more peaceful if you don't see them.
It's not hard to take care of them. I'm just worried...
about Qishan and the others, if they are safe and are smooth-sailing inside the tomb.
- Fo Ye! - Come.
The Japanese must want to use this item
for their experiments.
This thing is gigantic. If used in secret experiments,
I fear that Changsha City will be in danger.
That dangerous?
This... With such a huge meteorite,
we have to chop it into pieces before we can take it out.
It would be good if we could move the mountain like how Duke Yu did it.
However, I feel that it's not a smart move.
What if any changes happen midway? I fear that I might not be able to control the situation.
- Come. - Yes!
Fo Ye, Er Ye, come look.
There.
Could this be Qing Wuzi's coffin?

Old Ba!
Come over here!
Have you lied down inside a coffin?
How does it feel?
Although I haven't done so, aren't all coffins the same?
When the wooden cover is placed, everything becomes dark.
- Put out the lights. Hurry! - Yes!
Er Ye, let's go.
- Let's go. - Hey! No, this...
This... How could we go in there?
Jeez! Let's go, Ba Ye.
Isn't this place the same as that area where we entered earlier?
Of course, it's not! Look at the surroundings!
Changes have occurred.
Could this be a parallel universe created by the meteorite?
Fo Ye, then, can we still go out?
Stop with your nonsense. Since you've gone in,
don't ask more. Just follow me.
Boss...
This... What happened here?
Afraid?
Of course not.
I'm just afraid that there might be monsters or ghosts causing havoc here
and will harm you.
Then, go take a look on my behalf
if there are demons underneath.
In the future, whoever says words to disturb everyone's morale,
I will make you live in a more relaxing manner than him.
Fo Ye, Chen Pi has reached the meteorite platform. Will he catch up with us very soon?
- It's more or less as I predicted. - Then...
Then, will he discover us?
We are inside the meteorite world. He's in the real world.
It's impossible that he'll catch up with us. Also, he's currently inside the tomb.
He wouldn't dare make any rash moves.
Hell... Hell!
- This is hell! We must get out alive! - Hell!
- Everyone, calm down! Calm down a little. - I have to get out of here! Let's go!
- Let's go. - Go!
What is this place?
We must get out! We must leave this place!
- Look here. Let's go. - Go! Quickly go!
Go!
There's an opening! Go!
Let's go!
Be careful.
- Slow down. - Okay.
- Be careful. - Don't shake it.
Slow down.
Be careful.
- What do we do? - I don't know.
- Let's not care anymore. We must leave here alive. - Okay.
- Let's go. - Go.
Be careful.
Quickly go! Quickly move!
Be careful.
Where are they?
Look. Yin and Yang are one body with two sides.
They cover for each other; senses and replaces the other.
You mustn't insist on one and stay fixed in it.
Life is just an unsolved mystery. This room and the outside room,
which is Yin and which is Yang?
This is different from what we saw earlier.
Different?
Isn't this the Book of Changes?
Let's go back to look at the meteorite coffin.
Okay. Let's go.
The meteorite coffin is still here, but I don't know if it's any different with that one outside.
Let's pull it up to take a look.
No. This water is poisoned.
If you touch it, your life might be in danger.
Let's do it like riding a swing then.
Stabilize one end and just swing across.
No. It's too far. We won't make it.
Then tie a rope on me.
Do you want to die?
Even though this water doesn't have a smell, it can enter your body through inhaling.
You don't need to touch it to be harmed by it.
What Old Ba said is right. Not only will you be in danger if we tie you up and put you down there,
just by standing here now,
if we're unable to inhale any fresh air, we'll also be in danger.
Is any of you feeling unwell?
Nothing yet.
This water doesn't have any smell.
If the poison has entered our body through our breathing,
it means we've been poisoned severely now.
But until now, we're all fine.
There must be some trick behind it.
What Fo Ye said is very true. It means there's an opening around here where fresh air comes in.
Look. That water has covered the bronze.
It must have been repeatedly infused in here.
We can just find that infusion hole and remove the water through it.
I'm sure that there's a mechanism around here. Everyone, let's look around.
Azure Dragon.
There's a White Tiger here!
- This one is the Vermilion Bird. - Mine is the Black Tortoise.
Qilin... (a Chinese mythical chimeric creature)
Fo Ye!
Come!
My god! This... He is well-preserved!
This is so magical!
This is the body preserving method that people
have been searching but unable to attain.
Boss! Boss! We're the ones left.
Useless wretches! It's fine if they die!
- Look for Zhang Qishan. Let's go! - Yes.
Boss, this place is completely empty. They surely have no place to hide.
You're telling me that they disappeared into thin air?
This... no. But there are indeed no other exits in this place.
Nonsense! Look!
Yes!
- Zhang Qishan? - Zhang Qishan?!
- Where? - Can you see it? - Where?
I can't see him.
There must be a mysterious mechanism behind this. Use whatever means to find him!
Yes!
Boss! Boss! There seems to be something in here. Boss!
Boss, quickly look!
It must be that bronze coffin.
You, go down to check.
Ha? I... This...
- No... - I told you to go down!
No, Boss! Boss, spare my life! I don't want to go down!
I haven't gotten married! I can't die, Boss!
Have mercy!
- You, go down. - Boss, no, no! No!
Useless garbage!

This seems to be a talisman chant.
"In the universe, there's no end whether looking at the four corners or up and down.
Beyond infinity is another infinity."
It's from Zhuang Zi.
"There's no end whether looking at the four corners or up and down.
Beyond infinity is another infinity."
"Beyond infinity, there's another infinity."
Could it be referring to the idiom "the Sumeru Mountain in a mustard seed?"
The Sumeru Mountain was hidden inside a mustard seed.
but the mustard seed is found in Sumeru Mountain.
This meteorite is a mustard seed!
I don't believe that all of this is true.
There must be an identical cave somewhere.
With the meteorite as the core that links everything, the mirror, the ford...
Or maybe, all of this is a trap. It's also possible
that we are inside another cave.
What else did it say?
Let me study it.
Fo Ye, what are you looking at?
I found this on his tongue.
Nobility hold golden jade in their mouth
to show off their status. Ordinary people put rice,
because they don't want to be a starved ghost.
I also have seen many placing gold or silver in a corpse's mouth.
Master Qing Wuzi had a meteorite in his mouth when he was buried.
Is there a reason for that?
There's no rush to know this. Let's discuss it once we're outside.
A dead person is a live person.
Ya Tou... Ya Tou!
- Er Ye! - Er Ye, where are you going?!
- What's wrong with him? - After looking at this, Er Ye then...
Ya Tou...
My god! Er Ye mustn't believe in these words!
Say, they could have carved so many things on this coffin.
Why must they carve the words "a dead person is a live person"?
Isn't that striking on Er Ye's biggest sore spot?
This is really great. He surely went to look for Madam.
Ya Tou is the most important person in my life!
I beg you to give me the medicine!
I owe the person who entrusted me with the medicine a great favor.
I can't disappoint her.
I beg you! Fo Ye! Fo Ye!
Fo Ye! Zhang Qishan!
Why didn't you give me the medicine?
Please contain your grief.
I'll kill you now!
A dead person is a live person.
Looks like Er Ye hasn't gotten over his wife's death.
An obsession like this will cause his inner heart's demon to come out.
- Quickly go! - Okay.
A dead person is a live person. A live person is a dead person.
Fo Ye, where did Er Yo go?
How come he disappeared in the blink of an eye?
Let's continue moving forward. He surely can't run that far. We must stop him.
How come these people died in here?
Fo Ye, this is Er Ye's pellet.
Er Ye must have passed through here. Is he in danger?
With his skills, he will surely not be in danger.
It's just that we're not as fast as him. We must hurry in finding him. Let's go.
