[Candle in the Tomb]

[Episode 14]

Just because you would do that
doesn't mean that others will.

You can say whatever you want.

We're only safe
if he doesn't run away.

That's more important than anything else.

All right. The old man has his
shortcomings.

But his reputation as a live map
of the desert is not undeserved.

You saw it for yourself this time.

We really can't survive
in the desert without him.

You must be more polite to him.

All right, I know.

Let's talk business.

You heard what those
experts said.

No matter what we come across
on this trip, we can't touch it.

Am I right?

You're absolutely right.

No... Then why did we come?

If that's the case, when they come out,
tell them that we must turn back.

We'll just get the $10,000 from her.

I've been saying that
we should turn back.

Were you being serious?

Of course I was.

But let me tell you something, Fatso.

I think they'll keep going forward.

Why?

Look at their attitudes right now.

They just found the Gumo prince's tomb.

It's just a vassal state
of the Jingjue Kingdom.

But they're so excited.

Do you think they could
possibly turn back?

It's all your fault.

Why did you have to show off?

If you discover a tomb like this
in the future, don't say anything.

Remember the location, and we'll
come back by ourselves.

How moral of you.

But honestly, hearing them talk about
how incredible the Jingjue kingdom is

makes me want to see
what secrets are hidden there.

You're not interested at all?

I'm not interested.

Didn't you hear? She's a monster.

What if it's just a witch?

And if we have to find Jingjue Kingdom

we get another $10,000.

That's true.

Then should I become interested?

Okay, let's be serious.

That American said that
when the Jingjue Kingdom was buried

it was full of treasure.

She also said that you wouldn't
be able to leave if you take anything.

There being treasure is a fact.

Not being able to escape is superstition.

So greedy.

Here, here, here.

Ai Guo.

You must attach it firmly.

We have to come again.

I got it, Professor.

- Professor.
- Give it to me.

Here, Professor.

- Thank you, Old Gentleman.
- You're welcome.

Thank you, sir.

It tastes really good.

Among Jingjue Kingdom's vassal states

the Gumo kingdom was
one of the stronger ones.

It's very valuable for
the study of archaeology

that we found Gumo prince's tomb today.

And we've made a breakthrough
in the study of Jingjue culture

and in the research of
that time in history.

Comrade Hu, it's all thanks to you

that we discovered
the hall under the well

and the unfathomable tomb
of the prince under it.

Professor Chen, if there's
someone we need to thank

we must first thank An Li Man.

We only survived because he guided us.

Only then could we have
had this unexpected reward.

That's right. Thank you, Old Buddy.

Thanks for your hard work.

We're buddies now that you've
drank the horse milk wine.

You're welcome.

- We're friends!
- Friends!

Leader Hu, let's strike while the iron is
hot and leave early tomorrow morning.

Yes.

According to our research

Gumo Kingdom and Jingjue Kingdom
aren't far from each other.

The mural we just discovered
and the notebook

are the best proof of our research.

We should keep moving forward.

- Yes, that's right.
- Yes, Professor.

What is it?

You guys are going to keep going ahead?

- Yes.
- It's too dangerous. You could die.

It's the windy season right now.

Windy season.

Old Buddy, don't joke around like that.

After all these trials and tribulations,
we're about to find the Jingjue Kingdom.

We must not give up.

- Yes, that's right.
- Yes, please help us.

You guys don't have to say any more.

I really don't know about the
Jingjue Kingdom you're talking about.

I've only heard people talking about it,
but no one has ever seen it.

We're already in the depths
of the Black Desert.

If we keep going forward,
there aren't any more paths to take.

Drinking water would also
be a big, big problem.

Old Gentleman is right.

We lost some of our
water pouches and buckets.

If we keep going forward

we definitely can't bring as much
water as we could back then.

So we must not blindly go forward.

We won't blindly go forward.

This notebook says that

the explorers went forward in the
direction of the Zidu subterranean river.

They went through Zaglama Valley

and in the end, they found
Jingjue Kingdom.

And before they found Jingjue Kingdom
they found a lot of gravestones.

They planned to excavate it
on their way back

so they drew a very detailed road map.

But we don't know if the scale
of this map is accurate.

Mr. Walter was a famous explorer.

Drawing a map is a very basic skill for
a explorer. It should be pretty good.

In that case, we're really
close to Jingjue Kingdom.

Old Buddy, take a look.

I know.

If you follow the Zidu subterranean
river, you'll reach Zaglama Valley.

But from where we are now

I can't be certain how long it'll take us
to get there and how far we have to go.

Even though we don't know
our precise location

we are going in the right direction.

I was right, wasn't I?

See?

You're good.

Flash your flashlight here.

We're here now.

No, we're here now. Right here.

We should go along this route.

Chu Jian.

Is the water ready?

Don't worry. I've filled everything
I could.

- Good.
- No problem.

Fatso.

How's the clean up going?
We have to head out soon.

Everything's all set. Look.

- Hu.
- Yes?

Don't go there.

Just let him pray peacefully.

This well deserves
the title of "Holy Well."

It once nourished the Gumo Kingdom.

Then it saved An Li Man.

Now, it has saved us.

This might have been fate.

Professor Chen, you're a scientist.
You believe that?

This isn't just superstition.

We're praying from the bottom
of our hearts.

We pray that the river down
there will never dry up.

We pray that it will protect this land.

We pray that it will help others like us

who seek the mysteries
of the western regions.

Professor Chen,
you're not just a scientist.

You're also a poet.

Old Gentleman, have you been to this
part of the Black Desert before?

This is the hell of the desert.

Very few people have been here.

I've only been here once.

This time.

If it weren't for the police
and my beloved white camel

I wouldn't have come here
even if you killed me.

When I was serving in the army

I've learned a way to
get water in the desert.

If you dig three to five meters
near the roots of haloxylon

you'll find moist sand and salt water.

If you dig one meter deeper,
and then put a plastic tarp there

the water from the moist sand
will condense on the tarp.

After the simple evaporation
process and filtering the water

you can get a small amount of water
in a short amount of time.

Even though it's only a little,
it can save a person's life.

I'm sure you already know
about this method.

Yes.

But if you keep going forward, there
aren't any haloxylon (desert shrubs).

There's nothing.

If we go to a place where
there aren't even any haloxylon

we won't go forward anymore, okay?

Comrade Hu, I've already said this
but God would definitely like you.

This wind has been blowing all day.

When will it stop?

It's the windy season.
This is what it's like.

What's scary about the Black Desert
isn't that you can fall into quicksand.

Or that there are ants that gnaw
at you until there's nothing left

and definitely not that
there are sandstorms.

Legend has it that there is an
illusionary place in the desert.

When people go in

they'll see a lake, rivers,
beautiful women, and mythical animals.

But they can never get there and
die from thirst and exhaustion

because that's the devil's trap.

He lures them there to die.

He's talking about mirages.

It's easy for people with
dehydration disease to get confused.

What is dehydration disease?

The human body is two-thirds water.

But if you lose five percent of the
water, you'll get dehydration disease.

In short, if you don't have water
in the desert, only death awaits you.

We have to do something
behind the sand dune.

Hey, wait.

Take this.

They're urinating?
Shouldn't they hold it in?

Your rotten mouth.

That's what the old man said!
Save water.

Aren't you thirsty?

Old Gentleman!

Do you still have horse milk wine?

Give me a sip to help me with my fatigue.

There's not much left.

We're friends!

Give me a sip.

But right now that is something
that can save my life.

I can't just give it to anyone to drink.

Don't even think about it.

Hey! That old man is so stingy!
Such a cheapskate!

All right. Drink your saliva
and get back to work.

I'm telling you, if we don't find
a water source in a few days

we'll all have to decrease the amount
of water we drink each day.

Then we could all
get dehydration disease.

The first one to get it will be you.

Why?

Because you're fat.

Hey! Don't scare me.

I'm not trying to scare you.

Why do you think the
old man won't keep going?

It's because if we keep going,
there won't be any water at all.

Even if there is a subterranean river,
we wouldn't be able to dig to it.

Help!

Oh no! Fatso, something happened!

- Let's go!
- Someone come quickly!

- Help!
- Help me! Help me!

- Help!
- Don't go! Follow the footprints.

Save Xiao Ye! Hurry!

Here, let me.

- Don't let go.
- Come on.

Don't be scared.

Fatso, hold me.

Xiao Ye, don't be scared.

- You're fine now.
- We have to hurry and leave this place!

- Let's go!
- Help her.

Come on. Hurry.

Hu, hurry!

Hurry and run!

Fatso.

You don't have to say anything.
I got it.

I'll come back with a sign that
says there's quicksand there

so that the people who come here in the
future will know there's quicksand there.

Wow, Fatso.

I'm quite aware.

I wasn't talking about that.

What do you mean?

Think about it.

When we were saving Xiao Ye

it didn't seem like we had
to use all our strength.

We didn't use all our strength?

Then did I fall on my head for fun?

Be serious. Think about it carefully.

Would real quicksand be like that?

I didn't think about that.

Everything's fine.

Xiao Ye. You two, tell me something.

What happened just now?

When we got behind the sand dune

she suddenly could step on anything
and her whole body suddenly fell down.

I hurried and grabbed on to her
and yelled for you guys.

Quicksand swallows people
quickly with great force.

With just your individual strength,
you couldn't have pulled her out.

In fact, you would've fallen in too.

Comrade Hu is right.

If that was quicksand, you wouldn't
be able to stand there by its side.

That's true.

What you said makes sense.

After Xiao Ye fell down halfway,
she stopped.

Stopped?

I think I stepped on a rock
and then I fell.

And I kept falling down and down.

Are you sure it was a rock?

Why would there be rocks
under the sand of the desert?

Miss Yang, didn't you say that

the English explorer came across
a gravestone on his way?

Yes.

Let's stop staring at
each other and go see.

- You stay here.
- Let's hurry and go.

- We'll go take a look.
- Let's go.

Hu.

Have you reached it?

Come on.

Here. Be careful.

I've found it!

This was hit with an explosive.

- Explosive?
- Explosive?

It's out in the open now.

It's out in the open here too.

Here's the shovel.

Here.

This was definitely hit
with an explosive.

And it was definitely by an expert.

The force from the explosion was outward.

So all the debris is outside,
and nothing inside would be damaged.

It blew up in a very precise direction.

And...

And what?

It's not any ordinary explosive.

It's military TNT.

No way.

The People's Liberation Army
is tomb raiding now?

Stop with your nonsense!

Professor Chen, could there be
a tomb down there?

With such a big hole, if there really
is a tomb, it must have been raided.

First clean up the entrance.

Let's go down and take a look.

Brother Hu, why don't you rest.
I can do it.

You must be careful.

Don't get hurt from
the rocks in the sand.

Hu, look!

- Professor.
- I'm fine.

They're Soviet goods.

I've played with these
while I was in the army.

The tomb raiders were Soviets.

Those sinners.

This is a tomb that is
so valuable for research.

They've wrecked it.

Professor, we have to do
recovery excavation.

- Okay.
- What kind of tomb is this?

There's nothing.

If you were a tomb raider

would you leave anything for
the people who come after you?

I am a tomb--

Hey! Hey!

What did you say?

I am unlucky!

I tripped.

Be careful. You always trip.

Professor Chen.

What kind of tomb is this?

Judging from the structure of the tomb

and the material and
craft work of the coffin

this is a stone tomb from
the Wei or Jin dynasty.

And it's a family tomb.

This should be buried deep in the desert.

Maybe the huge sandstorm from a few
days ago exposed a part of the tomb.

Looks like those tomb
raiders came prepared.

Otherwise they couldn't
have done this so quickly.

We came too late.

From what you've said, this tomb
was raided not too long ago.

Yes. It must have been.

Professor, there's still
a mummy here.

This is a young woman's corpse.

These tomb raiders are so despicable.

They'll do such shameful
things just to get rich.

Professor Chen, why would
they take a mummy out of here?

Why else? To get filthy rich.

Besides historical relics and treasures

mummies from a tomb of the
Xinjiang desert are also valuable.

And these kinds of mummies have been
very popular abroad lately.

These kinds of mummies?

There are different kinds of mummies?

From a world view,
there are different kinds of mummies.

There are mummies that became mummies

through desiccants like lime,
charcoal, and other things.

There are mummies that became
mummies after being inside a coffin.

There are mummies
like those in Ancient Egypt

that became mummies through
special anti-corrosion techniques.

And our Xinjiang mummies

that naturally became mummies from
special high temperature environments.

This method is very ancient,
so it's worth a lot.

Museums, exhibition halls, and collectors
abroad pay a lot to buy them.

- Ai Guo, be careful here.
- Hu.

It looks like that Englishman's
notebook is reliable.

If we keep going past this tomb along
the route we were on

we won't be far from Jingjue Kingdom.

Xiao Ye, do you feel better now?

Yes.

So as soon as those
foreigners get home and

sell the mummies, they can live a life of
luxury for the rest of their lives?

It's very likely that we'll
run into them on the way.

Fatso, those tomb raiders
are a complete disgrace!

Look at how they blew it up!

- Hu.
- Professor.

Is something wrong?

I came to talk to you about that.

Judging from the marks
they've left behind

it's likely that it's been less than
10 days since the tomb was raided.

What?

Then you mean...

The professor means that the tomb raiders

are very likely to be looking
for Jingjue Kingdom too.

And they're right in front of us.

So we must hurry and keep moving forward.

If they get to Jingjue Kingdom first
who knows what awful things they'll do?

I agree with Professor Chen.

We must speed up our pace.

Those foreigners have explosives.

They likely have guns too.

If we run into them,
it could be a bloodbath.

We have to brave enough to fight against

the evil ones who try to
destroy our cultural relics.

Fight? With just my shotgun?

He's talking about
having a fighting spirit.

No matter what, the earlier we set off,
the better.

What do you think, Comrade Hu?

In that case, let's have everyone hurry
and sleep.

Look.

It's four hours until daybreak.

Let's set off in four hours.

Okay.

But we must be careful on our way.

I can't be held responsible
if anything happens

to you all, some of the most
talented people in the country.

We'll go get some rest.

These people have never
even touched a gun.

They sure speak--

Keep quiet.

I think it's useless to
say anymore to them.

It would be best if those tomb raiders
left after getting the mummies.

Otherwise it'd be trouble
if we do run into them.

Old Gentleman.

Not too long ago, you brought
some foreigners into the desert, right?

I don't know what you're talking about.

They came here to look for
Jingjue Kingdom, right?

The tomb from yesterday was
raided by a group of foreigners.

They're a group, right?

They're all bad people.

God will punish them.

If they're bad people, you must tell us
what kind of equipment they brought.

We have to prepare for it in advance.

Did they bring guns?

I've asked An Li Man.

Those foreigners have guns.

What?

We won't run into them, right?

It's possible. It'd be best if we don't
run into them.

We have to be smart about this.

Xiao Ye.

Xiao Ye.

What is it?

Are you okay?

I'm fine.

I just feel exhausted.

You're not sick, are you?

If you don't feel well, you must tell us.

I'm really fine. I think it's
because I didn't get enough rest.

I'll be fine in a bit.

If you're sick, don't force it.

Come to me if you need water.
I have some water.

I got it.

Don't tell the others.
I don't want everyone to worry about me.

Okay, I won't tell them.

But if you get worse,
I won't keep it from them.

Don't worry.

What did I tell you?

There is definitely treasure
in the Jingjue Kingdom.

So many foreigners
have their eyes set on it.

In the past, there were the Englishmen.

Now, there are the
Soviets who even brought their guns.

That means there must
be a lot of treasure.

Don't forget,
there's an American up there too.

Hu, I'm talking to you!
Can you take me seriously?

I am.

Hu.

- Why did we stop?
- I'll go take a look.

What is it, sir?

I can't clearly see the traces of the
Zidu subterranean river anymore.

If we keep going forward,
there definitely won't be anymore traces.

Then I really won't be able to help you.

We're already close
to the Jingjue Kingdom.

Even if there aren't any traces,
we still have compasses.

There's also a map in the notebook.

We should be able to find it.

No matter what, I will still go forward.

Jingjue was such a big kingdom.

They must have had a subterranean river
or some other water source.

Even if the river above
ground has dried up

the water underground might not be.

There will definitely be clues.

Young lass, don't get anxious.

I'm saying that since we've
been traveling for half the day

we should be able to see
Zaglama Sacred Mountain now.

Sir.

All right, let's keep going forward.

Maybe we'll be able to
see the Sacred Mountain.

Okay, thanks.

We've been rushing all day.
Let's rest.

Old Gentleman, let's rest here for a bit.

All right.

Let's rest a bit.

Xiao Ye, how are you feeling? Better?

I'm fine. Don't worry.

If you feel sick again, tell me.

I'm going to go check on the professor.

Okay.

Hu, come here. Have a seat.

Professor Chen, how are you?
Do you feel better?

I'm fine.

The sun is fierce right now.
Let's rest longer.

Drink some water.
We'll leave after we're well rested.

Don't worry about me.

I can endure it.
If we should go, then we should go.

Based on your experience,
are there a lot of foreign tomb raiders?
