Episode 1

Yun Bu Qi, you're the medic and...

...support staff of excavation team.

The first aid kit supplies are all with you.

Are you seriously heading out for camping?

Follow me to get some footage.

"Yun Bu Qi"

Be careful.

Come on, everyone, follow me.

What are you doing? Go away.

I was just taking a look.

I think it's pretty interesting. -Go away.

They need you. What are you doing? -It's not bad.

This should be called the Duan building.

Back at the Mausoleum of the King of Qin of Tang Dynasty,...

...in the tomb of Liu,Li Maozhen's wife,...

...I've found similar architecture.

So it looks like this.

What an exquisite mural.

That's right.

Professor Wang,what's in the drawing?

I believe this depicts a polo match.

In the Tang dynasty,

polo was played according to ranks.

One that the Emperor and Empress articipated in...

...must be of the highest order.

This tomb owner must be somebody.

Record this. Analyse this when we go back.

All right. -Take a look.

This drawing is so meaningful.

Don't, Yun Bu Qi. How many times have I told you?

Why won't you listen to me?

If this painting were to be auctioned off,...

...how much would it be worth?

I think it's worth at least RMB100 million.

Wait. It could even be a few hundred million.

A few hundred million!

Rascal, all you think about is money.

I'll cut your salary!

It hasn't even been a full day.

By all means,cut all you want.

What do you know?

These are history and culture.

It's human civilisation!

Do you know that?

Stand further away. Further!

Be careful. -Professor Wang, come on.

What about this mural here? -Stay here.

Professor Wang, look. -What is this mural about?

This painting..... -I can't tell.

It's very unique.

Why don't we document it in its entirety first?

Over there. -We can analyse it.

You're right. -All right.

This is worth studying. -You're right. All right.

It's like a calligraphy painting. -Look at the colours.

Are you sure? -Yes.

Stop! Who asked you to come here?

What's happening? -What's going on?

Hurry up! Tell everyone to retreat!

Watch out! -Yun Bu Qi, hold on tightly!

Pull him up! -Hold it!

What are you waiting for? Hold it tight! Up!

Come up now! -Old man, I dropped something.

I have to go down. Please send someone to get me.

Come up now! It's dangerous! -No.

That hairpin is more valuable than my life. I can't lose it!

Listen to me!

Yun Bu Qi!

Rescue team! Save him!

Why would she not have a hairpin?

There is a door behind me.

There're three statues opposite the door.

There is a device above the head of the statue in the middle.

Next,...

...I shall use the hairpin on the device.

If I die,...

...please keep this hairpin.

There's no response.

Why am I here?

Am I in a dream?

Tomb of Yun Ye. Why does this name sound so familiar?

I think I've heard this name somewhere before.

Uncle Wang!

Where is everyone?

Is anyone here?

Forgive me for disrupting your peace.

I shall take the essentials with me.

I'll leave the rest behind as an apology.

Where did this barbarian come from?

Why do you have knives?

What's happening?

Are they filming a movie?

Both of you had been acting suspiciously.

Now you're trying to harm an innocent man. I won't tolerate it.

Come on.

Hurry up!

This is not a film set.

This is a dream.

This.....

Move aside!

Even if this was a dream,...

...I would never let anything happen to you again.

Did I die? Or was I dreaming?

No matter what, I have to find out what's going on.

Are you dumb?

You can talk.

Let me ask you. Are we in the underworld now?

I'm talking to you. Answer me.

Master Yun, you are awake.

Master Yun, where had you been all these years?

I thought you were dead.

Wasn't this the uncle who was dragging me earlier on?

He looks like a human.

I didn't die.

Excuse me.

May I know what year is it?

It is now the Zhenguan era.

What kind of hardship have you gone through?

Why did you forget everything?

The era of Zhenguan.

Wasn't that the Tang dynasty?

That's right. -Oh dear.

I can't believe that this is actually happening to me.

I need to find a way back. -Master Yun.

No, the hairpin. -You.....

I have to retrieve it. -Why are you dressed so funnily?

What happened...

...to your hair? Are you being possessed?

Of course not! Who's the lady who saved me earlier on?

Lady?

Are you talking about Master Li?

Master Li? -Although he is good-looking,...

...he is not a lady.

You were hugging him tightly. No wonder he knocked you out.

I don't care. Bring me to him.

Master, please don't stir up any trouble.

Master, since you aren't possessed,...

...let me ask you, what is your name?

I will never change my name. My name is Yun. Bu. Qi.

All right. In that case, where did you get your token from?

This is a token for the descendants of the Yun family.

If so, please look carefully at the name inscribed here.

"Yun Ye"

Master Yun.

It doesn't matter...

...how you lost your memory...

...or what happened that led you to...

...act like you didn't even know me.

Just wash your face and get something to eat.

This is a remedy to treat wounds.

Apply this to your wound.

Who in the world is Yun Ye?

Yun Ye.

The era of Zhenguan. The Tang dynasty.

I've actually travelled back to the Tang Dynasty.

This is too cliched. Oh my God.

Look at my hair and clothes.

I wouldn't even last for two episodes in a drama.

What should I do?

Sir!

Master Yun, what are you doing here? It's filthy here.

The dishes will be ready soon.

Sir, can I get someone from you? -What?

Who do you need? -I need your worker.

San'er, follow the orders of Master Yun.

Please follow Master Yun. -Yes, Master Yun.

All right, thank you.

My hair! -Stop. This hairstyle is cooling.

Go away! -My hair!

It does seem a little unsightly.

Thankfully I'm good-looking.

I can at least be the second male lead.

It's so ugly. -What do you know?

I still have work to do.

My hairstyle may be a little ugly, but I have a nice face.

You're shameless.

I just want to get back the hairpin.

It is very important to me.

Leave me alone.

Go away.

What kind of remedy is this? It's lime powder.

Is the owner trying to kill me? -This is good!

You're so annoying.

Who is it? -I am Yun Bu Qi.

How should I address you?

You don't have to know that.

I know that you've saved me.

However, I still have..... -You don't have to thank me.

No, I left my stuff with you.

That hairpin was given to me by a very important friend.

Can you please return it to me?

It's just a hairpin.

Since I've saved your life, let me keep it for the time being.

I can't. I am leaving soon.

Are you? Where are you going?

What has this got to do with you?

Although this guy is a little weird,...

...he's pretty sharp.

I need someone to cover up my identity for this trip anyway.

If you don't have a home, you may join me.

Be my guard and follow me to Chang'an.

Chang'an? Come on!

This is injustice! Look!

Take a good look.

You stole my belonging yet no one cares!

Please don't block my way. -Return it to me and I'll leave.

You're being unreasonable.

It's so painful! -I've saved your life.

That hairpin looks nice. How about you use it as a thank you gift?

Don't go! I'll give in to you, all right?

How about I exchange something with you? Make way.

How about that? Let's exchange something!

Could it be that Master Yun...

...likes men?

Go. Come on.

Go.

Does it work?

Hurry up.

Stop messing with me!

I got it!

What do you think? We shall feast on chicken tonight!

You're smiling.

I thought you don't smile.

What's the taste? -Master Yun, what's wrong?

What's the weird taste? -I specially added...

...coarse salt for you. How about this?

If it isn't salty enough, I can add more for you.

Coarse salt? Didn't you say I was your saviour?

Is this how you treat your saviour?

Fine.

Master Yun, you may not know this.

I've spent a handsome sum to get the coarse salt.

I specially reserved this for you.

It's gross! Is this meant for human consumption?

Sir, I tend to use vinegared cloth as an ingredient.

After the war, coarse salt became a valuable commodity.

It's rare among commoners. -Hold on.

Are you saying that all of you use this?

What about Master Li? -I don't think Master Li...

...can afford coarse salt. He might be having vinegared cloth.

I thought you didn't have a weakness.

Now I know what to do with you.

It smells so good.

Master Li, would you want some? -No, thank you.

It's so tasty.

Try one. Come on. Try it.

Don't overstep the line or I would kill you.

Lady, don't just threaten to kill anyone. It looks bad on you.

How do you know I am a lady? -Don't worry.

Everything is chaotic now. I won't tell anyone about it...

...as long as..... -What?

As long as you return the hairpin to me, I will.....

I'll give you this instead. -No, I want the hairpin!

You just don't get it, do you?

If it weren't because of you, my hairpin wouldn't have broken.

How about I find something to replace the hairpin?

Then you can return it to me. -Wait until you find it.

All right. This is my token of appreciation,...

...all right?

Try it! It is delicious.

Let's go.

Where did you get the salt?

Why is the salt finer than the official ones?

It's delicious.

Let's have steamed egg for breakfast.

Would you like to add some salt?

You will have more energy for the trip later.

Look.

Fine salt.

"Cheng Chumo"

"Li Chengqian"

That's him! I think he's from the border.

He could be a spy from another country!

Were you actually defeated by these two kids?

It's shameful!

You'll be given 20 strokes each when you're back!

Which household are you from? Do you have a border pass?

Show your documentation to prove that you're from the army.

How dare you.

Aren't you afraid of getting beaten up again?

Salt. It's fine salt!

You're indeed thieves. You're all in this together!

Capture all of them! -Wait a minute.

Dear officials.

This could be a misunderstanding. -Misunderstanding?

Where did you get the salt from? -The salt.....

You have no right to arrest us. I think you're the thieves!

Go. What are you waiting for? -Hold on!

Why do you fight all the time? I just refined the owner's salt!

My salt? Refined?

How do you refine it?

I crushed the salt, filtered and melted it, let it crystallise.

Only crystallised salt can be consumed.

Otherwise, the high amount of impurity may affect your health.

Master Yun, it's gone! Master Yun, this.....

I had a big piece of salt.

Is that all that's left after you refined it?

This can last you for a week. -A week?

By the way, do we have enough for a week?

If not, we can make more.

A week? What does that mean?

I mean seven days.

The rest of you may leave.

Master Yun, do you seriously know how to refine the salt?

It's a piece of cake.

General, don't waste your time with them.

If this kid can produce fine salt,...

...I'll write my name backwards! -Shall we make a bet?

Why not?

Yesterday, two of your followers tried to rob the place.

I was being brave, all right? If I can produce fine salt,...

...please leave these two to me.

You'll kneel and call me grandfather.

I.....

Fine, what if you can't produce the salt?

If I can't do it, you get to do whatever you want.

These two are innocent. You cannot touch them.

It's unfair to exchange my commandant's dignity...

...and the lives of two soldiers for you alone.

It's not worth it.

If he can't make it, you may punish me, too.

Me, too. -No.

It's settled then.

Bring it there. -All right.

These are the salt mines of Tang. What do you need to refine salt?

Take your pick.

Just pick a basket of salt for me.

Master, this is toxic salt.

If anyone consumes it,...

...they will turn purple, have diarrhoea and die.

This is not a joke. -Don't worry.

Please. -This.....

I need her help. Others are not allowed to peek.

No way. What if you cheat?

Sorcerers in the Western Regions...

...can make people disappear.

Don't believe in him.

All of you are here. I can't possibly dig a tunnel and escape.

There's even a mountain behind you!

Fine, I trust you.

This way, please. -Work hard!

Bring in the mined salt. -Yes!

These are the elites of the Tang army. They are very alert.

It would be impossible to escape.

What are you doing? Are you listening to me?

Listen carefully.

I'll escape first to divert their attention.

After you have escaped, I will find my own way.

Do you hear me?

Why are you laughing?

All right. I heard you.

If he has the ability to escape, no matter how hard you try,...

...he would still escape.

Aren't you worried at all? -If he's lying,...

...we would just waste a few hours at most.

However, if he is telling the truth,...

...have you ever wondered how it'd help our country?

It would be beyond our imagination.

I'm quite nervous. It's true.

Mu Wu Zhe, what are you doing here?

I discovered a soldier who deserted and followed him here.

Fancy meeting you here.

I don't have to report our army affairs to you.

A soldier who deserted?

Please go elsewhere.

He is not here!

We will know whether he is here

after we conduct a search.

How dare you try to search in my territory?

Of course I'd dare to do so.

Search it!

Soldiers, kill anyone that approaches the zone!

Yes!

Here's our chance.

Fine salt.

Come on, taste it.

What's wrong?

It is fine salt.

I'm taking this out.

Cheng!

You may call me grandfather now!

General, it's him!

This is the person we're looking for!

Capture him alive!

Protect the shed!

You are one of the Qiang people.

Over there.

Chengqian!

Father!

"Cheng Yaojin"

Kill them!
