[Episode 4]

4

Be careful. Right. Pull it straight.

5

Pull it straight.

6

Don't touch it.

7

Wait a minute! Why are you here?

8

I heard that there's an archaeological site here, so I came to look.

9

Little Guy, how could one just simply look at an archaeological site?

10

But how come a young man like you would be so interested in an archaeological site?

11

Professor Meng?

12

You... know me?

13

I... am a student in Peking University majoring in history. My name is Zhuang Rui.

14

I like you so much, read a lot of your dissertations, and even attended your grand lecture.

15

What a coincidence! Never thought that I'll bump into a schoolmate here.

16

That's right! In a deserted and remote place like this...

17

Did you especially come here to look at archaeologic sites?

18

No, I'm here to attend a wedding of my classmate, and then I heard that there's an archaeological site here.

19

I've always loved history and archaeology.

20

You... Earlier, you... What did you say your name was?

21

My name is Zhuang Rui.

22

Little Zhuang, since you said that you graduated as a history major from Peking University, let me test you.

23

Come, look at this place.

24

Whose tomb do you think we're looking for here?

25

This... There are no emperor tombs recorded to have been buried in Gansu.

26

Hence, it surely isn't an imperial tomb.

27

But the interaction between the Central Plains and the Western Region back then would surely involve Gansu.

28

Based of my analysis, it must be a tomb of a deceased general that died in a battle.

29

As for what dynasty or which general,

30

I couldn't guess it anymore.

31

You are indeed a history graduate of Peking University.

32

- You didn't bring us shame.

- Right.

33

What we're searching here is indeed a tomb of a great general who made great contributions back then.

34

But there are so many imperial tombs that haven't been found yet.

35

How come you have to look for a general tomb first?

36

In the archaeological world, we aren't actually the ones who choose which tomb to look for.

37

It's only when a tomb is in danger of destruction that we would urgently try to excavate it.

38

It's easy to excavate, but to protect it is hard.

39

Up to now, I still can remember one excavation operation

40

where so many precious paintings and silk

41

discolored from oxidation right in front of our eyes.

42

We could only watch and unable to do anything.

43

That was really a lingering pain for an archaeologist.

44

What you mean is the tomb of Qi Yuan has been destroyed?

45

We still don't know about that. We just received a call from the local archaeological department

46

that they've discovered a lot of tomb looting holes here.

47

But until now, we still couldn't locate the tomb.

48

The important burial chamber should have some gold items

49

or some valuable bronze equipment.

50

But after opening up such a huge area, we only found some bronze coins.

51

Hence, it means that the main tomb of Qi Yuan might not be here.

52

Why are you so impatient? If we can easily find a tomb just by digging with a shovel,

53

wouldn't all the tombs in our country already have been looted clean by tomb raiders?

54

Since we already know that this Qi Yuan's tomb is near Lintao,

55

and we brought so many modern equipment with us,

56

so we probably would find it.

57

Oh, right, Little Guy. Little Zhuang, right?

58

I can see that you have very firm knowledge on archaeology. If you're really interested in our work,

59

you can come here to look around if you're usually not doing anything. We welcome you to join us.

60

Can I really come?

61

- Sure! But you must prepare yourself.

- Yes, you can.

62

It may look like fun, but it's really very difficult. Can you persist?

63

No problem.

64

Professor. There is a police looking for you.

65

Okay. You two chat first. I'll be right back.

66

Okay, Professor.

67

I'm from the batch 2012. What batch are you from?

68

I'm batch 2011.

69

Professor Meng, I heard that there are a lot of tomb raiding holes here.

70

Yes, we indeed found a lot of them.

71

But after excavating them, we didn't discover any tomb.

72

But I'm guessing that the tomb is not far from here.

73

Look.

74

This one here...

75

Zhuang Rui?

76

You also know him? He's from our Peking University. Quite a good chap.

77

From the pawnshop case, to when I got robbed in Panjiayuan, then here.

78

He seemed to be following us wherever we are investigating. Don't you find that coincidental?

79

Sis, could he really be a spy of the tomb robbing organization?

80

We can't eliminate that possibility.

81

But, he looks like a very honest man.

82

The more a person looks like a little lamb, so innocent and unable to cause harm, the more you should guard against him.

83

Okay. Should we request to arrest him now?

84

Don't make unnecessary actions, so as not to alarm the enemies. As long as we watch him closely, he'll show his flaws sooner or later.

85

By then, we just need to follow the vines to the fruit, and find out the shepherd behind him.

86

Boss, I've reached Gansu. I will soon meet up with Boss Yu.

87

Okay. Be careful.

88

Yes.

89

You couldn't even steal a shattered jade piece. You still have the nerve to tell me that you're a professional?

90

Brother Mang, in tomb raiding, we're professionals.

91

But robbery is really not our forte.

92

So it means, I've looked for the wrong guys.

93

No! No!

94

You didn't hire the wrong guys.

95

Regarding the pawnshop, we indeed foiled that.

96

But when it comes to tomb looting, we're experts.

97

Don't worry. I ensure you that we would get the item that you want this time.

98

There is already an archaeological team sent from Beijing.

99

When do you guys plan to start?

100

Two days. At most, two days.

101

The archaeological team is here. If we bomb the cave now, it would create a huge commotion.

102

In two days, there would be a wedding in the village. When they start to light the firecrackers, we would bomb the cave.

103

I ensure you that it would go smoothly.

104

Also, this time, I hope you guys can act professionally.

105

Brother Mang, don't worry. We've always been very professionals.

106

Talk.

107

Boss Yu has found the exact location of the tomb.

108

They would be making a move in two days.

109

If someone would interfere, they would kill them immediately.

110

I'm not a murderer nor a tomb robber.

111

No need to tell me these. I only want the jade eye.

112

Go around west 225 again.

113

Archaeologists use such advanced technology now?

114

That's not considered an advanced technology. It's actually a very common equipment now.

115

GPS and aerial photography equipment can help us do large scale surveillance and investigation.

116

It greatly decreased the wastage of material and human resources.

117

But for thousands of years, the topography here has underwent marked changes.

118

Is the probability of finding the tomb of Qi Yuan high by using those?

119

if the survey process would always go very smoothly, what then is the point of our work?

120

Don't rush. Although it's hard, it doesn't mean that it can't be done.

121

We're now gathering huge information about the unique qualities of this area

122

so we can find that one doubtful detail.

123

Look for a doubtful detail?

124

Print some of the ones over there and I'll take a look at them.

125

Little Zhuang, when we get some free time, I'll give you some lectures about this.

126

Teacher, we've been looking for a day and still couldn't find any clues.

127

At the city outskirt and at the far Gobi desert, there are also no visible signs.

128

Let that drone rest for a while. Just continue the search later.

129

Okay.

130

Little Zhuang, going back to your question earlier.

131

After thousands of years have passed, the topography here indeed has undergone major changes.

132

But if one area's topography is totally different from its surrounding,

133

what do you think is wrong with that?

134

It means that historically, that place was once excavated.

135

Correct! Even though everything around us might look casually done and without order, they are actually a deliberate art created by nature itself.

136

If humans did some changes in this natural world,

137

it would surely destroy this uniformity and leave some traces behind.

138

So the aerial photography drone is not really for finding the exact location,

139

but to search for a doubtful scope of land.

140

You have great comprehensive skills.

141

Brother, turn left at the intersection in front.

142

Hello, Sis, the lamb has left the pen.

143

Watch him closely. We must find his superior this time.

144

Okay.

145

[Yaxuan Pavilion Private Auction]

146

Look at this bottle.

147

This handicraft. This shape.

148

This craftsmanship is really divine.

149

How were they able to do this that time?

150

This is a precious object.

151

This Qing map has such good form.

152

Is this done well? Child, see if this looks good.

153

Pretty! Look at that design!

154

- Hello.

- Hello.

155

Hello.

156

Hello. Hello.

157

Hello.

158

Why is it so noisy?

159

Are you in some battle?

160

No. I'm riding a vehicle.

161

That's a vehicle? Is it a tank?

162

No, I'm in an old village riding a tractor.

163

Oh, so you hitched a ride. Fine. That's good.

164

People here are very nice.

165

- Yes. Yes. You think everyone is nice.

- Right.

166

What are you saying? It's too noisy.

167

Your side is the one that's noisy!

168

What? No, if you have no important thing to say, I'm hanging up.

169

I'm in a private auction.

170

What did you say? Private auction?

171

Right.

172

Uncle De told me to come here to observe and learn.

173

You earned a lot for us.

174

I can't drag you down, right?

175

Don't. Don't. You mustn't spend on impulse.

176

Don't worry. I surely will remember the words of Uncle De.

177

Listen and look more. Just look around but don't buy.

178

No problem.

179

What's going on here?

180

What's wrong with you, Young Lad?!

181

That's several hundred of thousands!

182

No, it's not me.

183

I saw you bumping into it.

184

So clumsy. This is such a waste.

185

- It wasn't me. It wasn't me.

- This is very expensive.

186

Thank you, Brother. You're so nice.

187

The land has been touched.

188

Hello, Professor Meng.

189

Little Bro, it's you.

190

Never thought that we'll meet again this soon.

191

Little Huang, right?

192

Huangfu Yun, my surname is Huangfu.

193

Sorry. Sorry for being disrespectful.

194

So your old ancestor is an imperial tutor of Western Zhou.

195

Really?

196

Looks like you don't even know your ancestors.

197

No, I know.

198

It's just that I didn't know that he's that prestigious.

199

Okay. Let's cut with the nonsense. Little Child,

200

Great Huangbu, this item was shattered by you, right? Do you admit?

201

No, Boss Qian, it's like this.

202

I think I'm not really greatly involved in this matter.

203

Earlier, someone bumped into me from the back. It then...

204

Is that person who bumped you still around?

205

The security only saw you bending over the display stand.

206

Yes. Yes. I was the one who knock over that display stand. But...

207

Boss Qian, you are erudite and talented.

208

Just want to ask a question since I'm already in trouble,

209

is there a Ru Kiln during the Warring States Period?

210

How could there be Ru Kiln during the Warring States Period?

211

That one is a modern art.

212

Then, that's easy.

213

Rich people like us do things according to rules.

214

This one was indeed shattered by me. How much is it? I'll pay.

215

Such a straightforward attitude.

216

- Right?

- To tell you honestly, this item isn't mine.

217

Someone just asked me to sell it for him. Just pay according to its original price.

218

- And then I'll just talk with the owner. Okay?

- Okay.

219

Look at these several papers first.

220

- What are those?

- This is a cultural item certificate.

221

No need to look at them.

222

Contract to sell on one's behalf.

223

This is the account were the money should be transferred.

224

It's fine. It's fine.

225

Look. Look.

226

What is it?

227

Is there anything wrong with it? I'm sure that there's none.

228

Two million? ($300,000 USD)

229

Boss Qian, are you kidding with me?

230

What? Rich people like you must follow the rules, right?

231

You are clearly swindling me.

232

How did you see it?

233

The thing is indeed like that,

234

but you shouldn't say it like that. It's not pleasant to hear.

235

Great Huangbu, how about it?

236

Should I call the police for you?

237

Mr. Xu, don't worry. Those two guys

238

wouldn't dare come here to Panjiayuan anymore.

239

With just an item worth 1 to 2 million and they're already bankrupt? How could they dare to play with me?

240

Indeed. They are blind.

241

After offending you, they better hurry to get reincarnated and have a change of zodiac sign.

242

Old Qian, you did well.

243

After working for you for so long, I've learned a lot.

244

Why still be courteous with me? I've told you, I'm just a booi slave of yours.

245

These are mixed soil from several layers.

246

Little Zhuang, how did you discover this?

247

I just noticed that this area looks strange in those aerial photos.

248

Because you two were busy, I just came here first to look and discovered that it's indeed strange.

249

You have such great luck.

250

What are you holding?

251

This is the scanned picture.

252

I noticed that the soil here seems to have been turned over.

253

The color is very different from its surroundings.

254

I then walked over here and scanned it once, then discovered this.

255

But I don't know why there's suddenly a house that appeared.

256

But just based on this scanned picture, we can't really see anything.

257

Little Zhuang, this isn't called good luck. This is great sight.

258

He actually noticed that the color on the soil on this photo is different.

259

That's right.

260

How is it? Are you interested in joining us?

261

Me? I'm afraid I won't be of much help.

262

Then, you are belittling yourself improperly.

263

Little Ren, call Beijing quickly to request for public personnel to be sent here.

264

Okay.

265

Welcome to our team!

266

Congratulations, Student Zhuang.

267

Let's go. Let's take a look in front.

268

- Okay.

- Let's go.

269

Doctor (PhD) Ren, isn't that a Luoyang shovel?

270

That's right.

271

Isn't that used by tomb robbers?

272

Indeed so. This Luoyang shovel was invented in the early to the last century by a tomb robber by the name of Li Yazi.

273

But, because it's practicality can't be replaced,

274

it has long been included into the must equipment of field archaeology.

275

In the hands of tomb robbers, this Luoyang shovel is used for digging and robbery.

276

In our hands, it is used for the protection of cultural relics.

277

Learning to use the Luoyang shovel to differentiate the soil quality

278

is the basic ability for every archaeological worker.

279

Is anyone in?

280

Is anyone in?

281

- Hello.

- Why are you here?

282

- Get out!

- Fellow Villager, we are here—

283

- Who is your fellow villager?

- What is happening?

284

What are you doing? What happened?

285

We are wrong not to have informed you first. But, you are wrong to get physical and shove someone away.

286

Two days ago, someone came here and tried to steal something. I injured that fellow's leg.

287

What is it? Do you want to try, too?

288

Say, you have misunderstood. We are not here to steal.

289

What is happening?

290

Police Officer Miao, why are you here?

291

Looking at your posture, do you want to fight?

292

No. No.

293

Not at all.

294

A small misunderstanding.

295

Do you need the help of the police to resolve this?

296

No need. No need. We have already clarified everything.

297

- We came from Beijing.

- Tourists.

298

We are tourists passing by here.

299

We don't know that someone is staying here. We thought this is a tourist attraction.

300

Sorry to have disturbed you.

301

Go. Go. Let's go quickly. Go.

302

Professor, just now—

303

We'll talk when we get back. Let's go.

304

It's this fellow again.

305

Boss, do you know those group of people?

306

The archaeology team from Beijing. They are also here for our big scoop.

307

No, that is to say, they already know that there's a grave beneath this building.

308

This... why so fast?

309

We have looked for half a year. I never imagined that the police is so efficient in their work.

310

I think it is related to that fellow from the pawnshop.

311

Say, isn't it so unlucky? As soon as I see him,

312

I feel that trouble is coming.

313

This time, before we start our work, think of a way to get rid of him.

314

Did you notice the scar on that man's face earlier?

315

It is a burnt scar. It's also a new scar.

316

What is the problem with it?

317

Corpses in the tomb below rot over long periods of time, accumulating a certain amount of methane.

318

When tombs are opened hastily and flame is used, it's easy to get burned.

319

I know. This is the fire hole that we've always talked about.

320

You even understand fire hole?

321

- He really knows quite a lot.

- That is to say,

322

that person earlier is likely to be a tomb robber.

323

No wonder he was so unfriendly.

324

We have Police Officer Miao with us. Why didn't you arrest him on the spot?

325

Although we now know that the burial grounds is in this area, we don't have the confirmed detail location.

326

If we act hastily, we will arouse their suspicion.

327

Then, have they gone down to the tomb by now?

328

Probably, not yet. Normally, after the tomb robbers open the tomb,

329

they will move all the things in the grave out quickly within half a day. They will definitely not stay on.

330

- I reckon, they are still in the preparation stage.

- Right.

331

So, Police Officer Miao, I recommend that you monitor them. Arrest them as soon as they take action.

332

We still can't arrest them now.

333

Why not?

334

Professor Meng, can I speak with you over there?

335

This... What is happening?

336

Professor Meng, you also said just now that this is just a speculation.

337

Even if we know that person is a grave robber,

338

we must wait for his boss to appear before we take any action.

339

To arrest the illegal cultural relic tomb robbing organization behind them in one full swoop is our aim.

340

But, the tomb of Qi Yuan down below contains precious cultural relics.

341

If we allow those tomb robbers to go down there to do whatever they want,

342

I'm very sure it will cause a great deal of damage to the cultural relics.

343

Even if the tomb robbers of Gansu are arrested today,

344

there will still be other tomb raiding organizations tomorrow taking such risks in other places.

345

This means that there is risk for even more tombs getting robbed.

346

I hope that you can understand this.

347

I understand now.

348

But, what if they enter the tomb and ruin the cultural relics?

349

Don't worry. We will do our best to prevent that from happening and protect the cultural relics.

350

Okay.

351

Little Zhuang and Little Ren, pack up the equipment!

352

- Okay.

- Wait a moment!

353

Why have you become a member of the archaeology team?

354

Professor Meng says that I have good judgement. I can help.

355

When you finish your work here, come look for me in the town. I want to ask you something.

356

- Huh?

- What's wrong?

357

Timing and Subtitles brought to you by the Dragon Guardians @ Viki

358

Sis, that little lamb really has a problem.

359

He actually went to the orchard all by himself to look for the tomb.

360

And he actually discovered it. Don't you think it's strange?

361

The strangest of all is that he is being asked by the archaeology team to help out.

362

Is it Dongfeng Hot Pot?

363

Is it Dongfeng Hot Pot?

364

Yes. Yes.

365

I can see you. We're on the opposite side of the road. Just come over.

366

That's him. Go over.

367

Don't move!

368

Why does this person taking half a day to cross the road?

369

Sis, looks like there's activity behind the van.

370

Oh, no!

371

Who are you?

372

Quickly!

373

Stop! Police!

374

Retreat! Quickly!

375

Go!

376

Are you all right?

377

- What is happening?

- Arrest them! Arrest them!

378

They are the robbers who burglarized the pawnshop.

379

Police Officer, why don't you arrest them?

380

Can you explain to me

381

how you managed to see his face clearly when your head was covered?

382

I...

383

I saw him before I was covered with the hood.

384

It's that group of people from the pawnshop.

385

That is to say, when you were in the pawnshop,

386

- you have already seen their faces clearly?

- Yeah.

387

But, that is not what you told me when I asked you the first time!

388

No, I must have been so frightened I remembered wrongly.

389

Police Officer, can you not be so fierce? I get frightened easily.

390

If you frighten me again like this, I will forget many things.

391

I will give you another chance.

392

This is the portrait materials library. Can you piece together the faces of the robbers?

393

No, I don't really know how to do this.

394

That fellow's life is really tough enough.

395

That's right, Boss. I think it's a bit mystical, too.

396

Say, he was already covered by a hood. How come we was still so agile?

397

Mystical? I think you are guys are even more strange!

398

The hood was already on him, yet you can't catch him!

399

I never imagined that female police officer to be so incredible.

400

Okay. We can't care about him now. It's more urgent to focus on the important matters.

401

No, Boss, look at my face. It's not healed completely yet.

402

I'm afraid that it might affect my exertion.

403

Third, Dad and Mom gave you the name San Sheng,

('san' means three)

404

exactly so you would reflect on your actions three times a day.

405

But what did you do?

406

You can't bear to use your brain.

407

Do you know why I didn't take you to Beijing?

408

I was afraid that people will say we're not being professionals.

409

Is there anyone in our field that would get as fat as you?

410

But... you, really great.

411

That was clearly a fire hole, yet you still smoked down there.

412

Try eating supplements.

413

Does it still hurt?

414

Not anymore.

415

Third, you still haven't married.

416

Face is indeed important.

417

But if we foil this mission, we'll lose our lives.

418

Tell me, do you want your life or your face?

419

Th-Then I...don't want my face anymore. I want to be alive.

420

Be more careful.

421

Brothers, are you more or less ready?

422

More or less ready.

423

Okay.

424

Tomorrow, when the firecrackers are lighted,

425

we'll then start blasting.

426

Okay!

427

[Loyal to the party. Serve the people. Implement the law with fairness.]

428

[Be highly disciplined.]

429

No.

430

What about this?

431

No. It doesn't look like him.

432

- Not him.

- I'll change to the next one.

433

Sis.

434

Say, can we believe his words?

435

His answers are always changing. It shows that he's hiding something.

436

Also, he really hopes that we catch the suspects this time.

437

Let's change to another.

438

You should change the eyebrows.

439

This one?

440

Only then can he save himself.

441

I really can't remember anymore.

442

Think about it again.

443

What about these eyes?

444

You sure that it's this one?

445

He has called many times. Answer it.

446

Speaker.

447

Hello.

448

Little Rui Rui...

449

Sorry!

450

I... accidentally shattered an item.

451

They're asking for ¥2 million! ($300,000 USD)

452

¥2 million?! What item is it?

453

Ru Kiln, from the Warring States Period.

454

Ru Kiln?

455

How is there a Ru Kiln from the Warring States Period?

456

Now, I finally know that.

457

How could there be a Ru Kiln during the Warring States Period?!

458

Who is it? He clearly was swindling you.

459

Qian Yaosi, Boss Qian.

460

He said it very clearly that he was swindling me.

461

Okay. Okay. Don't panic first.

462

Let's talk about it when I return.

463

Okay. Okay.

464

You... Quickly, come back.

465

Xiao Rui Rui, I need you.

466

Okay. Just quickly pay them back.

467

Quickly, come back.

468

Okay.

469

Boyfriend?

470

Oh, no, a childhood friend.

471

Quite rich.

472

¥2 million, and you're just giving it out like that.

473

Where did you get the money?

474

We earned it from buying a painting.

475

A painting that's worth ¥2 million?!

476

The whole Panjiayuan knows it. Don't you know?

477

Little Zhao, go check.

478

Yes.

479

What are you doing?

480

Posting in my friends group.

481

I want to record my current emotions.

482

Photoshopped.

483

I'm done with the eyes.

484

The night in the northwest is so long.

485

[Qin Xuanbing]

486

Hello.

487

You're still posting statuses in your account this late. Why aren't you sleeping?

488

Right. I c-can't sleep.

489

Why are you in the northwest? What place?

490

A little place. Lintao.

491

I came to attend a friend's wedding.

492

What are you doing right now?

493

I...

494

496

A lady?

497

Male.

498

I called to thank you

499

for the bamboo leaf katydid you gave me last time. I really like it.

500

Really? That's good.

501

Okay then, I won't disturb you anymore. Rest early.

502

Good night.

503

Good night.

504

Photoshopped.

505

Stop right there.

506

Who told you to roam around?

507

Ms. Police, I'm just moving my muscles a little.

508

You sure that it's him?

509

I'm pretty sure.

510

Yu Lei, people in the underworld call him Boss Yu.

511

He's your boss?
