[Candle in the Tomb: The Lost Caverns]
[Episode 5]
Where are they?
They just disappeared.
Come, let's take a look.
Let me ask you,
did you see three strangers here?
One is fat,
one is skinny...
and one is tall.
No.
Finally, we got rid of them.
It's just temporary.
If we want to be safe, we must leave the county at once.
Hurry, let's go.
Let me tell you,
if we go to the pier and station,
it's like walking straight into the trap.
I think we should hide somewhere for a few days.
When they stop searching for us,
we'll find a way to leave this place.
It's easy for you to say that.
Where will we hide?
Wait.
Let me see.
What is this?
The Old man gave it to me.
There are directions in here.
The top is "Zhen", the bottom is "Kan".
"Zhen" means "move", "Kan" means "danger".
Move when there's danger.
This is teaching us to escape.
Escape to?
According to the interpretation of the hexagram, southwest is the best.
Let's head southwest then.
Wait.
There's more here.
"Hoping to cross the sea of woes..."
"and move to worship the immortals."
I get it.
He said we should worship an immortal.
to bless and protect us.
That is not right.
Isn't there one more at the bottom?
This is a Li hexagram.
Why is it a Li hexagram?
I don't understand it for now.
If you can't understand, forget it for now.
I think we should all head southwest.
We'll think about it on the way.
Fatty is right.
Look, back then...
when Liu Bei crossed Jiangdong,
Zhuge Liang gave him three pouches.
At the end,
he opened it one by one,
right?
Both of you, wait for me!
Miss, who are you looking for?
Hello, madam.
Are Hu Ba Yi and Wang Kai Xuan here?
They went out.
I think they won't be back for a while.
Thank you, madam.
You're welcome.
Miss, what are you doing?
Hello, sir.
I'm looking for someone.
Who are you looking for?
Professor Sun.
Do you have a recommendation letter?
Who recommended you here?
What recommendation letter? What's its purpose?
Well...
Matchmaking.
You don't even know about the recommendation letter...
but you want to go in?
Sir,
I flew here from the Unites States.
I am a friend of Professor Chen Yong Ren.
Miss,
you're a foreign visitor?
No wonder you don't know our rules.
Leave him a note.
I'll send it to Professor Sun.
When can I meet Professor Sun then?
I don't know about that.
This Professor Sun that you're looking for...
has a bad temper.
Whether he meets you or not,
it depends on his mood.
Professor Sun,
someone is here to see you downstairs.
Didn't I say I won't see anyone?
She came from the United States.
Even if the President of United States is here, I won't see him.
Well...
She left you a note.
I'll leave it here.
You must be Professor Sun.
My name is Shirley Yang.
Professor Chen Yong Ren asked me to come.
You know this symbol, right?
On Uncle Chen's back,
red rash look exactly like this appeared.
Old Chen told you about it?
Yes.
Two years ago,
in a batch of oracle bones found in Gulan County,
there was one turtle shell which was the most well-preserved.
This symbol was engraved on it.
What word is this?
This isn't a word.
Although this symbol looks like oracle bone script,
they are vastly different.
There are many coincidences in this world.
Some beans look like human heads.
That thing on Old Chen's back...
might be a coincidence.
It isn't serious, right?
Professor Sun,
I know you're an expert at...
researching ancient and mysterious symbols.
Last year,
In the ancient Egypt Pharaoh’s tomb,
a scepter was unearthed.
Experts all around the world were helpless.
Later on, because of you,
they managed to interpret it...
knowing it was legendary Scepter
of the Netherworld Ancient Egypt...
Since you were willing to help them,
why won't you help your old friend?
I just want to know...
the words from the turtle shell unearthed from Gulan County.
What do they mean?
It's not that I won't say it.
The information about these ancient words are classified information.
Before we come to a definite conclusion,
we can't reveal it to the public.
Fine.
I won't force you.
However,
I have something to show you...
before you make a decision.
Old Hu,
why is Blind Chen helping us?
I don't know.
But judging from the situation,
he's right.
Hey,
can we rest for a bit?
I can't stand it anymore.
Old Jin,
you are too weak.
We should rest.
Not only him,
my stomach is empty.
My legs have cramps.
Finally, we found a place to rest.
Let's go.
Sir.
Hello, sir.
We're travelling.
This is miles from anywhere.
Can we go in and drink some water?
Sir,
can you understand us?
Young man,
can you speak properly?
I do understand.
We're thirsty.
Hungry.
Tired.
We're not bad people.
Yes.
Have you seen...
a bad person that looks kind like me?
You don't look like a bad person, young man.
The two of you...
I am not sure.
Come in.
Thank you.
Some dishes left from lunch.
I hope you won't mind.
Of course not.
Thank you.
Thank you, sir.
You're welcome.
Both of you,
hurry and come over.
What are you doing? We're eating.
Hurry, come over.
I'll let you see something interesting.
Something interesting?
Dry, wet or interesting?
Are you okay?
Mr. Hu, look at this.
How is it?
This is good stuff.
Why is it buried here?
I think...
this is from the early Western Zhou Dynasty.
What a pity...
the words are all worn out.
That means...
there is a Western Zhou tomb nearby?
I realized you're an especially...
fast thinker regarding this.
Is it delicious?
Not bad.
It made my eyes teary.
Young men,
that is the tolite.
You should eat here.
Hurry up...
Sir,
in your tolite,
where did you get that footrest slab from?
It has been there since I was young.
Back then,
a professor from Beijing...
said it was good stuff.
Though it's good, it can't be eaten.
So, I put it in the tolite.
Sir,
can I ask you a question?
Do you know who is Ma Da Dan?
Of course.
He...
and his workers...
came to Gulan County a few years back.
They came and bought a coffin shop.
He has a nickname,
the Devil Incarnate.
It was said that...
there was a coffin in his shop.
When Ma Da Dan hits the coffin,
someone in this village would die.
The harder he hits the coffin,
the further is the person who died.
If the coffin shop's business is bad,
he would hit the coffin.
Really?
That evil?
Then,
why didn't you destroy his coffin shop?
This is just a legend.
We don't have evidence,
how can we destroy his shop?
Why are you inquiring about him?
Nothing.
We're just asking around.
A friend of mine mentioned him before.
Where are you heading?
We're heading southwest.
Southwest?
To the ferry, right?
Be careful.
Don't go deep into the caves.
Caves?
What caves?
The caves in front of Fish-skeleton Temple.
It looks like a normal mountain,
but you might accidentally...
fall into hollow earth.
If you fall in,
you won't be able to escape.
We locals...
call it
the Lost Caverns.
That place is mysterious.
You'll get lost in there during daytime.
There are many dirty things.
Many people died in there.
Last month, an exploration team...
came to find uranium.
After they went in,
they didn't come out.
None of them.
Mr. Hu,
are we on the right track?
There isn't even a path.
Fatty.
Enough, Mr. Jin.
Stop talking nonsense.
Just follow Old Hu.
Moreover,
you're weak.
We walked for just a while,
but you're already tired.
Can my body...
be compared with the both of you?
In Beijing,
I only get in and out of bed.
Fine.
You are...
wasting your life in bed.
Well,
let me catch my breath.
Aren't we breathing?
We'd be dead if we aren't breathing.
No.
There isn't even a path.
This is killing me.
Well,
we have been walking for quite a distance.
Are we in the right direction, Mr. Hu?
I think so.
Looks like...
that Blind Chen is really helping us.
He pointed us the route to the ferry.
What is that poem...
that told us to worship immortals?
"Hoping to cross the sea of woes..."
"and move to worship the immortals."
That means when we pass Fish-skeleton Temple,
we should head in and pray.
Pray? Where is the immortal?
Hey,
isn't that Fish-skeleton Temple?
There.
That one.
Am I right?
If this Fish-skeleton Temple is a Fengshui paradise,
I will go back...
and burn "The 16 Words Yin & Yang Occult".
What's wrong? Isn't this place good?
Look at the wind blowing.
There is wind.
Yes, this place doesn't have water.
If there's a huge river...
with water flowing,
this place would be a Fengshui paradise.
No matter how many rivers are here, this isn't a Fengshui paradise.
Compared with houses and tombs, building temples...
are different.
Building temples is benefiting others.
So, the place to build a temple...
should be surrounded by mountains and Mingshan Hall.
There's a saying that goes,
"you can't build a temple in the mountains."
Except this Fish-skeleton Temple,
have you seen any temple built in the ravine?
Even earth temples...
aren't built in a deep ravine.
That means...
you got it right.
This Fish-skeleton Temple...
belongs to the grave robbers.
They built it to hide it from others.
Let's head there and take a look.
What if at the bottom, there is...
Stop talking nonsense?
Do you want to die?
Ma Da Dan will be here soon.
Moreover,
in this kind of place,
even if there's a tomb,
it won't be from a rich family.
It would be robbed empty.
Let's go.
This isn't right.
This person who built this temple is an expert.
I have to look at it from a higher altitude.
This isn't high enough?
The both of you,
should go ahead.
I need to take a break.
It's fine, Mr. Jin.
Just follow me.
I'll accompany...
This is too high.
Old Hu, slow down.
Slow down...
Old Hu.
You've been staring at it.
What did you discover?
There is a saying in Finding Dragons:
dozens of mountains and rivers,
countless dragon halls.
The Dragon Ridge...
looks like a winding mountain range.
But the surface is too fragmented.
It's there but useless.
The momentum is lost.
I don't understand.
There is a grave here,
but it won't be a big one.
Why did he take troubles...
to build a temple here?
Old Hu,
it's too high, are we really going up?
Old Hu.
Maybe a businessman...
built this temple out of kindness.
Can't he accidentally do so out of kindness?
Where are you going?
Old Hu...
I have to stop. It's too high.
I'll stop here. I won't follow you.
Got it.
Although the mountains around here are so barren...
without any barriers
and don't even have a bit momentum,
there are clouds hidden on the top
and a place to stay deep down there.
It's peaceful and tranquil.
Wow,
what an expert.
It's high.
Can we leave?
Mr. Hu.
What's wrong?
We should leave.
Why did you go there?
I took the wrong path.
Hurry, let's go!
Old Jin!
Oh, no.
Mr. Hu,
hurry!
Old Jin, Hang in there!
We're here!
Old Jin, don't move! Or you'll falling faster.
Old Jin, I'll find some tools!
Old Hu!
Fatty!
I don't want to die!
Old Jin, hang on!
Wait for me!
Fatty,
give me your hand!
Hang on!
Old Jin!
Fatty, hang on!
I'll save Old Jin!
Old Hu!
I...
Fatty!
What sound is it?
Where is this?
Why am I here?
It's me, Fatty.
Old Hu.
Why are you here too?
How could I leave you alone here?
Come on, slowly.
Slowly...
Are you fine?
I'm fine, but my butt hurt.
Don't press...
It hurts! Don't press on me!
Let's go.
I almost died after falling down.
Old Jin!
I can't do it anymore.
Use all your strength.
Old Jin!
I can't, my butt hurts.
What are you doing?
I told you to shout,
why are you acting like this?
Like what?
Is that Old Jin?
Looks like someone did something to him.
What nonsense are you talking about?
Old Jin!
It hurts.
This way.
Old Jin!
Slowly.
What is this place?
Old Jin.
These are Old Jin's shoe prints, right?
What is this?
These are teeth marks.
Why is he rolling on the floor?
Escaping?
He's escaping.
Old Jin!
Here.
Old Jin!
