[It's said that every sixty years, ]

[there is a nine-planet alignment.]

[At that time, Shen Wanjiu's tomb under the sea]

[will emerge with an island.]

[People will have the chance to access the treasures in the tomb.]

[This legend in the martial world]

[intrigues many people.]

[Dragon]

[Qinghai County]

Chop it down!

[Tianhai]

Lang, we can't do this!

I'm here. What are you afraid of?

You can't chop it.

Give me the axe.

- You can't chop it, Lang. - You can't chop it.

[Shuanghuan Port]

Nice move.

For us sailors,

there is a saying

that a woman on board brings bad luck.

Although your father was our former chief,

he has been missing for three months.

A group cannot be without a leader.

I have discussed it with other guys.

From now on, the Firefly ship belongs to you.

I will take over

the ship gang.

Chen Lang.

My father founded this ship gang.

I will never hand it over.

You want to be the chief?

Okay.

According to the old rules,

we shall have an underwater fight.

Beat me, and the gang is yours.

That's what I was waiting for.

[Shuanghuan Port]

They haven't come out for so long.

This is bad.

Tap him awake. He's not dead.

Vice chief!

Vice chief!

Are you alright?

Our ship gang hasn't been doing well these years.

I understand that you inevitably have doubts.

The former chief risked his life

going out to sea for your livelihood,

and his whereabouts are still unknown.

Tell me.

How did the former chief treat you?

I think you know better than I do.

His fate is uncertain now.

We should unite to

find him and find a way out.

Why are we killing each other here?

Today,

if anyone

wants to leave the ship gang,

it's okay.

Go get your severance pay now.

But if you trust me,

then stay.

I will definitely lead you through this difficult time.

Chief.

We trust you!

- We will follow you, Chief! - We will follow you, Chief!

We will follow you!

- We will follow you! - We will follow you!

[Shuanghuan Port]

Lang.

My father taught us since we were young that

when brothers are of one mind, their strength is unbreakable.

We are family.

The ship gang can't do without you.

Chief.

You spared my life.

From today on,

for the gang and for you,

I am willing to lay down my life.

Guys.

From today on,

until we find the former chief,

Zheng Qianqian is our new chief.

If anyone dares to bully her,

he will have to step over my dead body.

Chief Zheng!

Chief Zheng! Chief Zheng! Chief Zheng!

Chief Zheng! Chief Zheng! Chief Zheng!

[Shen Family's Genealogy]

My son.

The volcanic anomaly

caused the Fantian Seal to deviate from the dragon vein.

It disturbed the Shen family's feng shui,

making it hard for us to escape the merchant class.

You must move the Seal,

mend the vein, and gather the Qi

to completely resolve this.

Boss.

Boss.

Zheng Qianqian won.

Turns out Chen Lang is a useless coward.

And that guy named Tianya

has already appeared in Qinghai.

He was also watching this show.

Zheng Qianqian

is a powerful woman.

She held her breath underwater

for half a joss stick's time.

Chen Lang is no match for her.

Did we bet on the wrong horse this time?

Former Chief Zheng is highly skilled in water evasion.

He passed all his lifelong skills

to his daughter, Zheng Qianqian.

There's no way she would lose to Chen Lang.

Half a joss stick's time

is not her limit.

I understand.

You knew she would win all along,

so you encouraged Chen Lang to fight for power.

You were actually helping Zheng Qianqian establish her authority, right?

Otherwise, how could she help me achieve my grand cause?

Open the granary and distribute food.

We will set a trap for them.

Please give me some food.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Why is this

mixed with so much sand and chaff?

Old fart,

you should be glad that we're giving you food at all.

Come on, drag him out.

Wait!

Keep distributing food.

Are you okay?

Thank you.

Work is over.

Work is over.

Stop working. Let's go.

Let's go.

Come back tomorrow.

[Grain]

Fire! There's a fire!

Put out the fire quickly!

- Put out the fire! - Get water!

Take him away.

You are Tianya, an orphan

who was taken into the martial world by the master tomb raider, Laogui, at age 6.

You have been familiar with the system of divination and strategic planning

and Plum Blossom Divination since childhood.

You're quite a prodigy.

You flatter me.

However, during a year of disaster,

you dared to loot, injure the guards,

and set fire to the granary.

You'll get the death penalty for these charges.

It seems that

you are determined to accuse me

with excuses, huh?

We have both witnesses and evidence here.

There's no room for you to argue.

Actually, I'm not trying to give you a hard time.

Instead, I need your help.

Are you asking me for help

in this way?

If I'm not mistaken,

you aim to

rob the Shen family's sea tomb.

You are a descendant of the Shen family?

Let me officially introduce myself.

I am Shen Zhaowen.

It happens that I also want to go to the sea tomb

to retrieve a family token.

We can join forces

and take what we need.

As long as you agree,

not only will you get a huge amount of treasure,

but I can also guarantee you a full pardon.

Then, how do we get there?

You don't need to worry about that.

The Tianhai Ship Gang will escort us.

Mr. Shen.

Chief Zheng.

Have you made up your mind

to go out to sea with us?

Yes.

My father has been missing for three months,

but I believe he is still alive.

Mr. Shen, please keep your promise.

I will help you find the sea tomb,

and you should help me find my father.

It's a deal.

Okay, let's set off immediately.

Don't rush.

Although I have my family's nautical chart,

we still need the dragon's whisker

to open the sea tomb.

Dragon's whisker?

According to the Shen Family's Genealogy,

only the whisker of the Zhu Dragon can open the sea tomb.

But don't worry.

I've already found the one

who can get the dragon's whisker.

Let's meet up with him first.

Is it necessary to bring so many people?

Don't you trust me?

The Zhu Dragon is dangerous.

More hands mean a better chance of winning.

Our ship gang has always shared

weal and woe.

Let's go together.

Let's go together.

Just don't cause me trouble.

Qian one, Dui two,

Li three, Zhen four,

Xun five, Kan six,

Gen seven, Kun eight.

Let's go.

There is a dragon in the Kan position.

The dragon is on high, while the tiger is on low.

The Chao Mountain resembles a brush holder.

It's a draw.

This must be the dragon's resting place.

You won't understand even if I tell you.

When looking for a dragon, you must focus on the winding mountains.

One layer of winding means one layer of barrier.

If the Eight Gates have many layers of locks,

there must be a true dragon living here.

Indeed, there is a fishy smell in the north.

Kan position, due north.

This way.

Wood generates Fire, Fire generates Earth.

Wood also overcomes Earth.

The Earth energy here is the strongest.

It should be the periphery of the Zhu Dragon's habitat.

The water comes from the left and circles toward the right.

Water returning to Kun

means this is a True Water Formation.

The approaching dragon is powerful.

When water meets, the true dragon reveals.

It seems to be a red-gold black dragon.

Zhu Dragon's habitat

is connected to this pool.

Zhu Dragon is of the Fire element.

Water and Fire reached a state of balance here.

I heard Zhu Dragon's breathing.

It's right behind the pool.

We're here.

This is it.

Light the torches.

The wind direction of the torches can predict the dragon's movements.

Light the torches.

Come on, give me one.

Here you are.

Okay.

Ambergris.

It's coming.

Hurry.

Follow the direction of the incense.

- Go. - Okay.

Let's go.

Ambergris can paralyze the dragon's nerves,

making it docile.

We're here.

I'll lure the Zhu Dragon out.

You guys hide first.

Go.

You stay here and help me with something.

Later, when I blow the flute,

you scrape the back of your knife against the rock wall

to imitate the sound of the rising tide.

This will make the Zhu Dragon come out of the cave faster.

Okay.

It's out.

It's gone.

Chase it.

What's going on?

Didn't you say after smelling your ambergris

it would fall asleep?

Why isn't it working?

It's bigger than I thought.

What do we do now?

We can't do anything.

Run!

Little bug.

I'm right here.

Little bug.

I'm right here.

Come catch me!

Come catch me!

Thinking of heaven and earth, heaven and earth clear up for me.

Thinking of the sun and moon, the sun and moon shine for me.

Thinking of rivers and seas, rivers and seas purify for me.

May heaven and earth protect me forever.

Riding dragons and treading on stars.

By order of the law.

Halt!

Escape out of the cave!

The ambergris won't last much longer.

Run! Run!

Run!

Let go!

Follow me!

Go!

Hurry up.

Hand over the dragon whisker.

Indeed, women are heartless.

I just saved you,

but now you want to kill your savior?

I don't feel safe with the dragon whisker on you.

Give it to me.

Fine.

Take it yourself.

Come and get it.

Men and women should keep their distance.

It's fine. I won't shout.

Come get it.

You scoundrel!

Chief Zheng.

Dragon whisker is a magical item.

It can open any lock in the world.

But it chooses its master.

The first person to get it

will become its master.

Snatching it is useless.

See?

There's an expert here.

Do you believe I'll kill you?

I do.

But then the dragon whisker...

If the master dies,

the dragon whisker will also lose its energy.

Take him away.

Go.

Hey,

you are an ungrateful...

Go!

Mr. Shen,

aren't you going to do something?

Be gentle.

Mr. Shen!

To reach the island where the sea tomb is located,

[Qinghai Dock] [Mist Zone]

We must pass two tests.

The first test is the Mist Zone.

The mist is evil.

It not only obscures directions,

but also makes people lose their minds.

The second test is Jingkou Beach.

Two ocean currents form a giant whirlpool there,

full of unknown dangers.

We must first calculate the location of the Gate of Life.

We also have to dive underwater to investigate

to have a chance of passing.

I can go into the water for Jingkou Beach,

but how do we calculate the Gate of Life?

We

Have to count on him.

Now you want my help?

But while tied up,

I definitely can't calculate it.

No.

You should untie me in person.

That's more like it.

You should have the proper attitude when begging someone.

Scoundrel.

Who is a scoundrel?

I saved you,

but you call me a scoundrel?

Untie my hands.

You can't just rely on your pretty face

to be unreasonable, right?

The direction is correct.

We have entered the Mist Zone.

The sea is vast.

There are no reference points around.

How did Chief Zheng ensure that we are not off course?

We sailors

need nothing else.

With the moon above,

and the lantern at the stern,

we'll never lose our way.

I hear your breath control is incredible, Chief Zheng.

Looks like your sailing skills are just as impressive.

I'm truly impressed.

I'm still far behind my father.

He could hold his breath underwater for half an hour.

But my father now...

Qianqian.

The rudder is at the back.

This is the mainsail.

This is the small sail.

Come, row with me.

Not long enough.

Try again.

Qianqian.

This sword is yours.

May you build bridges over waters

and carve paths through mountains.

Qianqian.

Great job.

Look, the mainsail is up.

This time was much better.

Very good.

You did it.

Long live the Emperor.

We found treasure. We're rich!

We're rich!

Clear the chaos, guard the heart.

Break the mist barrier.

Break!

Qianqian.

It's you.

Father.

It's me.

Qianqian.

Leave now.

There's no time. You must go.

Father, let's leave together.

We'll go home together.

Qianqian.

Seeing you again

is enough for me in this life.

Father.

Father, let's go together.

Father.

Father.

I'll watch over you from the heavens.

Father.

The illusion is gone.

Is everyone okay?

Are you all alright?

Qianqian.

I never told you this,

but you've always made me proud.

Go become who you want to be.

Do what you want to do.

Qianqian.

Was it your father

who gave you that name?

Yes.

The sea is dangerous,

but shallow bays are the gentlest.

My father hoped I could live freely.

It's a beautiful name.

From now on,

can I call you Qianqian too?

Only my father can call me that.

I'll risk my life

to help you at the Sea Tomb.

Here.

Only kids eat candy.

I don't want it.

You don't get it.

Sweet things make people happy.

Every rogue has their own way to cheer up.

Rogue?

You talk about justice,

but act like a villain.

I just said

I'd risk my life to help you.

How does that make me a villain?

Then tell me,

why did you burn down the granary?

Well.

I only wanted to find out why the grain was mixed with sand.

You should know

that all the grain in that granary

was donated by wealthy locals.

Our Tianhai Ship Gang donated some too.

You fail to understand,

mixing grain with bran and husks

was the only way

to save more lives.

I...

The sea wind moves south,

the whirlwind rises 90,000 miles high.

What does that mean?

Simply put,

the whirlwind means a tornado.

The sea wind means a giant whirlpool.

This is a water tornado.

In half an hour,

the whirlpool will form.

It'll swallow the whole ship.

I'll break the formation underwater.

You tell me the location.

Drop anchor!

[Life]

[Block, Rest]

[View]

[Wound, Rest, Life]

[Life]

[Block, View, Death, View, Open, Rest, Life, Wound]

I found the Life Gate.

To stop the water tornado,

we must pass the Block Gate to reach the Life Gate.

Remember the Eight Gates

you see underwater.

Don't make a mistake.

Chief.

Be careful down there.

Please, be careful.

South, the View Gate.

Coral branches burn like flames.

Southwest, the Death Gate.

Sunken ships hold white bones.

West, the Alarm Gate.

Hidden reefs cut like blades.

Northwest, the Open Gate.

Sunken ships hide treasures.

North, the Rest Gate.

Sea monsters sleep within.

Northeast, the Life Gate.

A safe path lies ahead.

East, the Wound Gate.

Rapid currents cut deep.

Southeast, the Block Gate.

Stone walls cannot be passed.

Be careful.

Thank you all

for your help.

Something must be blocking the flow.

Find a way to open the Life Gate.

Reverse the current.

The water tornado will disappear.

Qianqian.

Give me the rope.

Lower half the sail.

Pull!

Raise anchor, set sail!

You're terrible underwater,

yet you still came

to save me.

In the end, I saved you.

You just made things harder for me.

I was worried you'd be in danger.

So you're blaming me?

I take back what I said about you.

I heard

you grew up an orphan.

I was born in Qinghai County too.

My parents died young.

I wandered alone as a child.

I was raised by kind strangers.

And I got beaten up often.

My master Gui took me in.

He was no ordinary man.

He knew medicine, astrology, and Qimen Dunjia.

He mastered them all.

He told me about the Dragon Whisker.

Is it sweet?

It's so beautiful.

Come here.

Oh no,

it's an underwater cliff.

Steady the sails!

Listen up.

Go help.

Tianya,

any ideas?

I'll give it a try.

The magnetic field is too strong.

The compass is useless.

Northwest.

That's the Life Gate.

Good.

Chen Lang,

Northwest.

Brothers, we've arrived.

It's dangerous ahead. Be careful, everyone.

Okay.

The Sea Tomb holds many unknown dangers.

Stay alert.

Do not leave the group on your own.

Understood?

Understood.

Prepare to leave the ship.

Nine stars align, the heavens spin.

Five elements unite, revealing true power.

The Five Elements each follow their place.

Seek fortune, avoid disaster.

Move!

These are Yin soldiers set by the Shen ancestors.

Their puppet joints hide trigger threads.

The threads carry corpse poison.

One touch kills.

The Nine Stars Alignment lasts only 3 hours.

When the time is up,

the Sea Tomb will sink back into the ocean.

We must hurry.

Or we'll be trapped here forever.

The clan records say

the front chamber has 3 hidden slabs.

One wrong step will activate the puppets.

Come. Follow me.

Stay on the black tiles along the left wall.

Avoid the white tiles.

Be careful.

This is the Donghuang Bell.

When it rings for the first time, the Yin soldiers will appear.

On its second ring, the soldiers will attack us.

Once it rings three times,

the whole mausoleum will collapse.

Let's find the bell quickly.

The east corresponds to Wood and the south corresponds to Fire.

The southeast is where Wood and Fire converges.

The air there is too light to bear much weight.

The Donghuang Bell is very heavy.

So it must be hung on a stone beam in the northwest

where Metal and Water benefits each other.

These are Sound-silencing talismans.

When I say "Fix",

you two paste one on each side of the bell at the same time,

which can stop the bell from ringing.

Let's go.

Boss,

you go first.

The talismans can only work for half an hour.

Let's hurry.

Constructions in the mausoleum are laid out along a central axis.

The Bright Building is built at its back.

Under the Bright Building is the main tomb.

But the family genealogy doesn't say

which path leads to the main tomb.

The compass needle points to Ren and Bing directions.

The Gate of Life is in the north.

The Ren Water direction mostly leads to the main tomb

while the Gui Water direction leads to a dead end.

Let's go this way.

This place is right above the main tomb.

The mechanism is among the carved floor tiles in the middle.

We'll open the passage by twisting it.

Let's go.

There are so many tiles here.

Which one is it?

Look for one with a pattern of tangled peonies and vines.

Peony.

Lang.

It's the seventh tile from the right wall crack.

Follow me.

Okay.

Are you okay?

I'm fine.

The Fantian Seal has indeed been moved out of the dragon vein.

Look.

Is this the family heirloom Lord Shen mentioned?

Could it be this?

What are you doing?

The Fantian Seal is an heirloom of the Shen family.

A random person like you can't touch it.

Who cares who you are?

You!

The Fantian Seal is mine!

It's mine!

- With it, I can save my father! - Qianqian!

- Qianqian, wake up. - It's mine!

Wake up, Qianqian.

Your father is dead.

Don't live in your obsession.

Your father said

you were his pride.

Heaven pure, Earth bright, cleanse turbidity, and guard the heart.

Break!

If I get the Fantian Seal,

I will have the greatest power.

Heaven pure, Earth bright, cleanse turbidity, and guard the heart.

Break!

Lang.

Duanwu, come here.

Shen Zhaowen, what are you doing?

Duanwu!

Boss is to use my heart blood

to awaken the Fantian Seal.

Boss.

Actually, I have always known

that you keep me by your side

because I have pure Yang blood

and my heart blood can awaken the Fantian Seal.

Boss,

I am willing to die for you.

Duanwu.

Duanwu.

Duanwu.

Tianya.

I am sorry.

You didn't

burn the granary.

Duanwu.

Duanwu.

Duanwu.

Shen Zhaowen!

You already have a huge fortune.

Why did you still kill so many people to get this evil seal?

A huge fortune?

When Qinghai suffered a natural disaster,

the Shen family immediately gave away ten thousand taels of gold for the disaster relief.

But then an official order came,

demanding we give a million more taels.

A million taels of gold!

Fine, I did.

And what happened next?

It was all embezzled by corrupt officials.

The money used for the disaster relief

was not even a fraction of it.

I was once a young man with aspirations.

Even though I got the first place in the imperial martial arts examination,

just because the Shen family was of merchant status,

my official rank limits my governance to less than a thousand households.

For my whole life, I've been despised as a merchant's son,

and others can easily manipulate me.

So you burned the granary,

framed me, and forced my hand.

Your plan was to use me

to help you find this evil seal.

If I hadn't push you to a dead end,

how would you have risked your lives to bring me here?

Now with the power of the Fantian Seal,

I can break the shackles of the merchant status

and make the world bow to me.

Go, Tianya!

I am not an ungrateful person.

Chief Zheng.

You helped me change my fate

and gain power.

I will help you expand your Ship Gang

and fulfill your wish.

You kill people for your own selfish gain.

I don't want your help.

In this world,

only those with great power deserve to live.

Sacrificing a few nobodies' lives is nothing.

We will absolutely not

let a madman like you out to harm people.

Fine.

I'll let you die with your dead bodies intact.

Qianqian!

Lang! Lang!

Lang!

Lang!

I...

I can't protect you anymore.

From now on, developing the Ship Gang

will be your responsiblity.

Lang!

Our Ship Gang cannot do without you.

We cannot do without you, Lang!

Lang!

Lang!

No!

You fools who confuse right and wrong.

As long as the court doesn't fall,

how can the world be peaceful and prosperous?

How dare you call me a madman?

Madman!

You've integrated with the dragon?

I won't give up!

Tianya, what are you doing?

I will break open the sea tomb

so you can take the treasure away.

Tianya!

Tianya!

Tianya!

Tianya!

Tianya!

Tianya!

Qianqian.

Tianya!

Although this world is big and vast,

besides my father,

only you can call me Qianqian.

Qianqian.

Hurry and get on the ship.

Let's return to Qinghai together.

I have become a human dragon.

I can only stay in the sea forever.

No.

No.

I can't leave you here alone.

Tianya, get on the ship, okay?

Get on the ship!

Go back.

Tianhai Ship Gang needs you.

How can I let you stay

in the sea alone forever and do nothing?

How can I do that?

Qianqian.

I'm lucky that I met you.

I have no regrets now.

Don't be sad for me.

I once thought being a lone wolf

exploring the world was the most wonderful thing

until I met you.

Then I felt no regrets.

Qianqian,

don't be sad for me.
