[Candle in the Tomb]

[Episode 15]

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

Yes, there are a lot.

Especially before the Communist victory.

Our country was politically unstable
and in war for many years.

A lot of tomb raiders
from imperialist countries.

came one after an other,
taking advantage of the chaos.

Take the western regions for example.

Because these natural
conditions are awful and deserted

this is a good place for tomb raiders.

The Xinjiang tombs and historical
remains were widely ransacked.

It was before World War II.

Loulan in Eastern Taklamakan Desert,
Niya on the southern edge

and the Mogao caves in Dunhuang, Gansu...

Many historical relics were stolen.

Many historical remains were ruined
and completely destroyed.

The owner of Miss Yang's notebook

also came to Xinjiang from England.

Hu, I'll put it this way.

At the time, the foreigners
all said they were explorers.

But in fact, they were here
after our historical relics.

Think about it. The journey is long,
and the transportation is inconvenient.

Why would they put their
lives in danger for this?

What are their financial
backers hoping for?

There are true cases of
what you're talking about

but there were real explorers as well.

Hu, having been an
archaeologist for half my life

and having to fight with
tomb raiders all that time...

Although I don't fight
with them face to face

I'm always fighting against time.

Although there is no smoky battleground

in the battle between
archaeology and tomb raiding

we're excavators,
researchers, and protectors

while they're thieves,
destroyers, and profiteers.

We hate them passionately.

I don't hear any difference.

Hu.

What is it? Is something wrong?

There's a problem with my compass.

No problem. I have one.

It's not broken.

It's been like this for half the day.

My watch also stopped.

It's been hours.

What's going on?

Stop!

Everyone should rest here.

We won't be able to find anything now.

Miss Yang, did something happen?

What time does your watch say it is?

It stopped.

Mine isn't running either.

- Look.
- But I've had my watch winded.

Look at this.

What's so exciting about that?

An Li Man, tell everyone your bad news.

Bad news?

Tell us. You've never had any
good news to share anyway.

Old Gentleman, what is it?

I was just looking.

We've left the range of
the Zidu subterranean river.

We won't be able to find any traces
of the river.

When was the last time
we were able to find traces?

Probably half a day ago.

Let's not keep going forward.

If we keep going forward, I really
won't be able to find the way back.

So everything it said was true.

Hu, what's the connection?
That was completely unrelated.

Miss Yang, did your brain stop working
or is it working too fast?

I thought all of this was coincidence
but right now, everything fits together.

This notebook says

"In the depths of the desert night,
we lost sight of the lonely river."

Miss Yang! Miss Yang! Speak in Chinese.

Okay. This notebook says,
"In the depths of the desert night"

"we lost sight of the
Zidu Subterranean River."

"In the vast land of death,
two enormous magnetic mountains"

"stood opposite the
afterglow of the setting sun"

"as if they were two ancient
warriors dressed in black armor"

"that were silently
protecting ancient secrets."

"After going through a valley
that was like a huge entranceway"

"a city that the legends talk about
appeared before our eyes."

Wait. What mountain
are you talking about?

A magnetic mountain.

- Magnetic... mountain?
- Yes.

Then since so many of our things
are having problems

does that mean we're near
the magnetic mountain?

Yes!

If there were two big mountains nearby

then Zidu subterranean river
was probably cut off.

So it's normal that we can't find
any traces of the river above ground.

That makes sense. Keep talking.

That's all.

Fatso, well said!

What did you call me?

That's not important.

We have to focus our attention on
finding the magnetic mountains nearby.

Because once we find
the magnetic mountains

we'll have found the
entranceway to Jingjue Kingdom.

Here, binoculars.

Where is it?

Miss Yang, are you sure the contents
of your notebook are complete?

Yeah, there aren't any
missing pages or anything, right?

I"m sure there aren't any.

This is the most critical moment.

You must help me find it.
I'm begging you.

Okay, I'll do my best.

Xiao Ye! Xiao Ye, what's wrong?

- Xiao Ye! Xiao Ye!
- What's wrong?

- What's wrong, Xiao Ye?
- What happened?

- Xiao Ye!
- Xiao Ye!

What's wrong with Xiao Ye?

She's burning

Hurry and give Xiao Ye some water.

- Chu Jian, did we bring antipyretics?
- Yes.

- Hurry and go get it.
- Okay.

Drink some water.

How could this have happened?

I was careless.

I didn't even realize
Xiao Ye was this sick.

Don't worry.

Actually I knew about it all along.

Xiao Ye insisted that
I didn't tell anyone.

You're so stupid, Xiao Sa!

How could you keep this from us!
She could die!

I didn't think it would be like this.

Professor, I'm fine.

Xiao Ye, don't say anything.

Don't mind me. I'm really fine.

After we find Jingjue Kingdom,
I'll be fine after I get some good rest.

What nonsense are you saying?

As teachers, to not care about our
student's well-being makes us fascists.

Can you make it to
Jingjue Kingdom in this condition?

If you're in any danger,
none of us should go.

Ai Guo, control your emotions.

Don't, Professor.

Everyone went through
so much to get here.

I don't want to hold
everyone up because I'm like this.

I just felt especially
tired all of a sudden.

But I'm fine now.

Really. I know my own condition.

I won't be in any danger.

Xiao Ye, we're glad you would think that,
but you're still young.

No matter what you do,
you must not sacrifice your health

and definitely not your life.
Do you understand?

Professor, I...

Here's the medicine.

Water. Slowly...

Xiao Ye.

Are you sure you're okay?

I'm fine.

Good. Then get some rest.

Xiao Sa, take care of her.

Professor Chen, Miss Yang,
let's discuss something over there.

Okay. Get some rest.

Xiao Sa, take good care of Xiao Ye.

Sa Di Peng, what are they discussing?

Is it because I've become
a burden for everyone?

Xiao Ye, don't think that.

Get some rest.

Professor Chen.

From the looks of it, our watches
and compasses all have problems.

It is probably because
of the magnetic mountain.

According to what
Miss Yang's notebook says

we are near the magnetic mountains.

If we can find the magnetic mountain

we will have found the
entranceway to Jingjue Kingdom.

But the problem is that
even though we're so close

we can't see where
that magnetic mountain is.

What Hu says is theoretical.

The magnetic mountain could be
a few hours from Jingjue Kingdom

or it could be a few days.

Or it could be even further.

With the amount of water we have now

we can scrape by and get back
to the well in Gumo Prince's tomb.

If we keep going forward,
we definitely won't have enough water.

But all ancient cities in history
were built near a water source.

The subterranean river in
Gumo Prince's tomb is an example.

I believe that a once-flourishing
kingdom like Jingjue

definitely had an
underground water source.

That's right. I believe that too.

But the problem is if we don't find it

on our way back,
we'll have to eat the camels

and drink the water we get from
moist sand as we go via route 11.

And that's only if we don't
run into any sandstorms.

What do you mean by via route 11?

It means walking on your own two feet.

I get it.

There are two paths before us.

The first is to go to Jingjue Kingdom,
but it's rather dangerous.

The other is to go back to Gumo Prince's
tomb, which is relatively safer.

- That's what you mean, right?
- Yes, that's right.

But the more important thing is Xiao Ye.

She fainted and has a fever.

If we keep going forward, she could die.

I wanted to lay all this out for you
and hear all your opinions.

Now, everyone's opinion is important.

Professor Chen.

What do you think?

I've been searching for
Jingjue Kingdom my whole life.

I'm so close to it now.

I'm really reluctant to give up.

If I can just take a look
at Jingjue Kingdom

even if I end up dying there,
I would still think it was worth it.

You've set your sights really high.

In this group, I'm the oldest.

I'm also the person in
charge of this project.

If anything happens to any of you,
I must take complete responsibility.

The whole way, we've run into
many life or death situations

but we didn't have a choice.

Now, we have a choice.

I must hold myself accountable
to the organization and to your parents.

So...

I agree with going back.

I don't agree.

Professor, I've been
with you since I was 20 years old.

I know how you feel
about Jingjue civilization.

I know best how much time and effort
you put into preparing for this journey.

Professor, we can't give up.

I also agree to going back.

Chu Jian, what's with you?

If you go back,
you're no student of mine!

Ai Guo, we just said that
we have to listen to everyone's opinions.

No matter what they say,
it's only their own opinion.

Don't be agitated.

Xiao Chu, continue.

Professor, it really wasn't easy
for us to come this far.

Honestly, I can't accept
that we're giving up.

But seeing Xiao Ye's condition

I'm really worried that
something bad will happen to her.

Professor Chen, Professor Hao.

Xiao Ye.

Why did you get up?

I'm fine. I'm fine.

Xiao Ye is feeling better.
She drank some water too.

Professor Chen, Professor Hao, Chu Jian.

I know how badly you want
to see Jingjue Kingdom.

I want to as well.
Xiao Ye does too, right?

Don't make things difficult
for yourselves. Don't mind me.

I'm not that delicate.

I also don't want you guys to have
regrets for life because of me.

Professor, this is my own opinion
and my true feelings.

I'll keep persevering.

When we get to Jingjue Kingdom,
I'll be fine after I rest for a few days.

Don't worry.

Before we entered the desert,
everyone was prepared for the worst.

The purpose of our trip was to find
traces of Jingjue Kingdom.

No matter what happens,
I want to keep going forward.

Hu, what do you think?

Honestly, at first, all I wanted
was to make some money.

I didn't think of anything else.

But I've learned a lot after
all our experiences.

Even though we've experienced
so many dangers

But I want to see Jingjue Kingdom
more than ever.

I want to see the place where the
Jingjue queen you talked about lived.

So if we go back home now I really might
regret it for the rest of my life.

And from an objective perspective

if we go back now,
it's not 100 percent safe.

Old Gentleman, what do you think?

There's only one sky.

There's only one sun in the sky.

God will give us a direction.

I'll listen to God.

Then you have to hurry and ask.

What did God say?

Old Man, are you done yet?

I am. God has given us direction.

Which direction?

- Everyone.
- Old Gentleman.

At this point, you must think
carefully before saying anything.

I've thought carefully.

If it's heads, we'll keep going forward.

If it's tails, we'll go back
the way we came.

Old Gentleman, are you
sure this isn't a joke?

I'm not joking. I'm being very serious.

Right, you're always
very serious when joking.

Fatso, be serious.

Professor Chen, you're the oldest.
You should toss the coin.

The result of the
coin toss is God's will.

Here, you toss it.

Old Buddy.

Professor Chen, I'll do it.

Okay.

Old Gentleman, what does this mean?

God hasn't decided yet?

I can't say.

God has his own ways.

This is the Black Desert.
Even God doesn't want to be here.

Fatso, be more serious.

Hurry and look!

Isn't that the magnetic mountain?

How come we didn't see it just now?

Come on, Xiao Ye.

The characteristics of this mountain
matches the one in the notebook.

That must be the magnetic mountain.

After a journey of thousands of miles
we've finally come to the last step.

But Xiao Ye...

Professor, don't worry about me.

I'm already feeling a lot better now.

I can persevere until
the magnetic mountain.

Professors, I'll take care of her.
Don't worry.

Then everyone, let's hurry and head out.

Whether we find Jingjue Kingdom or not,
I have to thank you all.

- Thank you, everyone.
- Let's go.

Xiao Ye, you must keep taking medication.

You must reduce your fever.

Miss Yang, if we really
do find Jingjue Kingdom

you promised to give Hu
and me an extra $10,000.

Don't worry. There won't be a penny less.

Hu, I have to think of a way of
getting the gun from her hands.

What? What do you mean by that?

The gun can't be in her hands.

If we find Jingjue Kingdom
and there are lots of treasures

what if she kills us and
takes it all for herself?

Did your brain get messed
up by the magnetism?

By the magnetism?

I'm sure you thought about it.

Of course I have thought about it.

I've thought about whether traces of the
kingdom would be engulfed by the sand.

When we get there, would we
be able to find a source of water?

What does that queen look like?

Could she be of any dangers to others
even when she's dead?

How did those English explorers die?

These are all unknowns.

All right, all right. Don't say any more.
My brain can't keep up.

I hope I'm just overthinking things.

I've thought about what MacArthur said
on the battlefield of the Korean war.

What did he say?

"At first, we thought
we knew everything."

"But then we found out that
we actually didn't know anything."

All right, buddy. Don't scare yourself.

Who cares?

We're already here.
Let's just keep marching on courageously.

That's the fearless Hu Ba Yi I know!

Don't pretend to be on top of everything
or you'll have to be careful not to fall.

Look at you joking around.

Wow, that was a long journey.

I thought we'd get here before dusk.

It's already midnight.

But no matter what,
it's great that we're here now.

- Xiao Sa.
- Yes?

Does Xiao Ye still have a fever?

Her body temperature hasn't gone down.
She's been very thirsty.

I still have water here.

It'll be hard on everyone, but we
have to keep moving forward quickly.

If we don't find water,
Xiao Ye's life will be in danger.

Yes, we have to hurry and find water.

Hurry and get Xiao Ye
down from the camel.

Don't let her fall down.

Here, Xiao Ye.

Go get the equipment.
Don't let them drop and break.

Leader Hu! Leader Hu! My camels
have never been like this before.

It looks like the devil is in them!

God doesn't want us to go forward
anymore. Let's hurry back.

How can we do that?

It wasn't easy for us to get here.
How can we just go back?

They won't keep going forward.

Hu, don't worry.

An Li Man, there must be something
ahead that's scaring the camels.

Let's look at it first.

What's going on?

Can you see that clearly?

Hu, it looks like a person.

What do you mean looks like a person?
It is a person.

Hey! Friends! Friends up there!

Stop messing around!

Fatso! Don't shoot anyone.

Understood.

He didn't move.

Could he be a dead person?

Miss Yang and I will
go over to take a look.

Fatso, you and Chu Jian stay on
guard back here. Protect everyone.

Don't worry. If anything happens,
get out of the way quickly.

I'll provide support from back here.
I'll knock him down in one shot.

I put my reputation and name on it. If
I can't, you can write my name backwards.

Hu, what Fatso said was incorrect.

His name in Chinese is the
same forwards and backwards.

You're so serious.

He hasn't been dead for long.

The color of the corpse is strange.

Hu! What's the situation?

It's nothing. He's dead.

Hu.

There's another one over there.

Don't go over yet.

Give me another flare.

It's made in the Soviet Union.

It's been fired.
There are missing bullets.

Look over here.
There are bullet casings.

There are weapons.

You two, go check.

But you must not touch the corpses.

It's possible that these are the
people who stole the mummies.

Old Gentleman!

Do you know how to use a gun?

Yes. I've been through military training.

Old Gentleman, look carefully.

Are these the people you brought here.

Yes, they are.

They are the foreigners
I brought here a while ago.

How many of them were there?

That's all of them.

Explosives.

Old Gentleman, go deal with your camels.

We can't stay here long.
We must leave quickly.

Okay.

Professor Chen, Professor Hao,
come here quickly.

Hu! Look, explosives.

Hu, don't you think all this is weird?

It is really weird.

Their deaths are really strange.

And they all died in the same area.

Who could have killed them?

Maybe it wasn't a group of people?

That's possible.

The important thing is
they were fully armed.

They fired shots and still died.

That means the ones who killed them
outnumbered them or were more powerful.

And they didn't even take the
weapons or explosives.

The crucial point is they
don't have any clear injuries.

Don't think about it.
Let's hurry and get out of here.

Take the things. They might be useful.

Okay.

Professor Chen, how do you feel?

I'm fine.

Okay, bear with it a little longer.

She still has a fever.

I'm fine. I'm much better now.

Bear with it a little longer.

Fatso, go on ahead with them.

Miss Yang and I will go help An Li Man.

We'll catch up.

Okay.

Hu, you guys must be very careful.

Okay. Go slowly.

Come here, Professor.

Let's go, Professor.

Professor Hao! Don't move.

There's water here!
Xiao Ye can have a sip.

Don't touch that corpse!

Be careful.

That was so dangerous. Thank you!

Ai Guo!

Professor! Professor!

Ai Guo!
