[Tomb Raiders]

Pangzi.

Can you do it?

Pangzi?

Call me Master Pangzi.

Qiling.

You saved me for the 272nd time.

Thank you so much.

Come on.

Let me take a look

at your inner beauty.

Stones? Stones!

[Wu Shanju Antique Shop]

Express for Wu Shanju!

[Private property]

[From Li Guanzhen, Your Brother in No.15 Lixian Road]

These stones must have secrets.

Why else would they be kept so well?

Are they all professional killers

trying to take advantage and kill us?

No way.

I must...

ask them for moral damages.

I'll do that!

What are you doing?

We have a task.

Come with me.

Didn't we all retire from this business?

Pack up and leave quickly.

We will delay our retirement for a few days.

Let's talk in the car.

"I'm writing today"

"to remind you of an important matter."

"Iron chopsticks support the pot,"

"and old camel recognizes the path."

"Laogou,"

"the most important day"

"is approaching."

"We should do as planned."

Iron chopsticks support the pot,

and old camel recognizes the path.

Seems like a secret language, huh?

A coded message about exploring a tomb?

The letter is addressed to my grandfather.

Don't scare me.

Hasn't your grandfather been dead for years?

The sender is Li Guanzhen.

He just got released

after 25 years in prison.

But I've seen his name

in my grandfather's notes before.

[From Li Guanzhen,] This Li Guanzhen

[Your Brother in No.15 Lixian Road] is a master

of Feng Shui.

Before liberation,

he visited an underground palace in Mongolia

with my grandfather.

That underground palace was very eerie.

Li Guanzhen found it

with the help of comet.

Who is Comet?

His wife?

Comet!

Do you know Halley's Comet?

He's over 90 years old

and still wants to visit the tomb with my grandfather.

It's not a simple matter.

Aren't you indifferent to these things?

Why do you get so worked up now?

(This is different.)

(Before my grandfather passed away,)

(he entrusted me with something.)

(He said that if this guy writes a letter specifically addressed to him,)

(I must pay special attention.)

(I must)

(fulfill my grandfather's regrets.)

[No. 15 Lixian Road]

How do we

always end up finding these places?

Thanks to your leading.

[Blessing]

Hey guys.

Have you smelled a gas odor?

It's a gas leak!

Gas leak?

That's a big deal.

I'll call the police first.

Wait, there's no time.

Is this even a place where people live?

It's worse than my life.

[Comet Talk]

My grandfather said before he died,

in his lifetime,

[Flying Snake, Eight Astrology] he owed a lot of unpaid debts.

There are a few things

that won't end even if he dies.

They will bring repercussions upon me.

So my grandfather told my third uncle

to try his best to handle things thoroughly

after his death.

Did your third uncle handle things properly?

What do you think?

[Flying Snake, Eight Astrology, Imperial Guard]

Not a single thing.

Instead, he caused me even more trouble.

But my grandfather specifically warned me

about Li Guanzhen.

If he's involved

in what's happening,

I must give it my all.

Otherwise,

something bad will happen.

You and your grandfather were so close.

You must take care of the matter

he entrusted to you before his death.

But what could possibly happen?

It's been so many years.

You have to believe in my grandfather's ability

to create soul debts.

Just be careful.

What are these drawings about?

[No! Absolutely not!]

Old Master Li.

Mr. Li.

Li Guanzhen.

Li Guanzhen.

Who are they?

This is my grandfather.

You really are family. You look so much alike.

[Zi, Chou, Yin, Mao, Chen, Si, Wu, Wei, Shen, You, Xu, Hai, Spring]

(The comet is)

(shrouded in mystery.)

(Our folklore calls it the Broom Star.) Old objects are more practical, right?

(Our ancestors believed)

(that celestial phenomena)

(were arrangements made by heaven,)

(reflecting their attitude towards the world.)

(And the appearance of the comet)

(expresses)

(the wrath of the gods,)

(considered as a disaster)

(and a bad omen of war.)

(That is why)

(our ancestors)

(have always been in awe of the comet)

(and considered it as the messenger of the heaven,)

(mastering the power over life and death.) Qiling, Pangzi.

What is this drawing about?

Is it the lilliputians

looking at the comet?

No, it's not.

Even though

it's got a bunch of lilliputians

looking at the comet,

if you look closely,

their expressions

are very strange.

Seems like

they're looking at something

even more terrifying.

If not the comet,

what are they looking at?

Are they possessed?

No.

All the paintings

are a reflection

of the artist's inner thoughts.

[Die at nine o'clock.]

(As the mysterious and peculiar comet)

(crossed the sky,)

(shattering their notions)

(of a perfectly ordered universe,)

(they began to realize)

(that perhaps the comet)

(was truly guided by the heaven)

(to deliver a message to humans.)

It's been 70 years.

The comet is coming.

It's not over yet.

There's one more rule about Conjuring Curse.

Old man.

I didn't touch you.

Old man.

I didn't touch you.

Old man.

I didn't touch you.

I don't have any money, old man.

Hurry up!

He's Li Guanzhen.

- Li Guanzhen. - Call an ambulance!

Li Guanzhen.

Hello, is this the emergency center?

Li Guanzhen!

What Li Guanzhen?

Lixian Road, NO. 15 Lixian Road.

There's an old man named Li Guanzhen.

I don't know him!

Wu Xie, wherever you go,

trouble will follow.

It's really uncanny!

[Zhangjiakou Correspondence Station,] Hey,

[Yanshan University] hurry up!

Is it all?

It shouldn't be.

The soul debts that my grandfather owed back then

are all marked in his notes.

But the part about Li Guanzhen

and the Comet Underground Palace

was written very simply.

It only mentioned

that something very strange happened inside back then,

and in the end,

only the two of them made it out alive.

[Only Li Guanzhen] Why do I

[and I escaped] feel like

it's written so awkwardly,

as if it's not finished?

It's been torn apart.

Torn apart?

(Why)

(was this page torn apart?)

(You know.)

(Your grandfather, right?)

(He's the master of the Wu Family)

(of the Mystic Nine.)

(He must be very skilled.)

(So it's no problem that he could come out.)

(But who exactly)

(is this Li Guanzhen?)

(According to my grandfather's records,)

(during the Republican era,)

(there were eight schools of Feng Shui,)

(known as the Eight Winds.)

(The Eight Winds only searched for tombs)

(but didn't rob them.)

[Tomb Collection] (And Li Guanzhen)

(is one of the Eight Winds.)

What did Li Guanzhen say

in the end?

Rule.

There's one more rule about Conjuring Curse.

What rule?

Traffic rules?

Whether it's my grandpa's notes,

the comet,

or Li Guanzhen's insistence

on going to the underground palace again,

they all proved that something was wrong with the underground palace.

In order to find out the truth,

I think we have to go there.

[Antique Acquisitions, Professional Appraisal, Free Home Visits]

[Gobi Desert, Mongolia]

[The day when the comet appears]

Hey, buddy.

What are you doing here?

I want to enjoy

the beautiful scenery of Mongolia.

Look over there.

I'm traveling.

What about you?

You're from Mongolia.

Are you here for tourism as well?

Buddy,

my grandfather had a stroke,

and I've been taking care of him lately.

But I encountered

something very strange.

There's an old man in the next bed

who kept talking

about him visiting an underground palace

when he was young.

He said

that the underground palace

was brought by a comet from the sky.

Comet?

Could it be aliens?

Could a comet bring an underground palace?

Then let's find the comet

and ask for a bigger villa,

a 600-square-meter house

with luxurious decoration.

You don't believe this?

Actually, I don't believe it either.

But I really

had someone investigate

this matter.

It's absolutely true.

Absolutely true?

You're just a little drunk.

Buddy.

Open the window.

He vomited.

Open all the windows.

Windows.

Let's keep playing.

Come on, let's drink.

It's bad.

Let's drink together.

Li Guanzhen, that old guy

must have woken up in the hospital

and spilled the beans.

In this car,

the people who drank with me just now

are in the same business with us.

That's impossible.

Mr. Li is most likely

having a stroke already.

Even if he's cured, he won't...

You don't believe me?

I'll give you a try.

Search tombs by skills.

It's deserted all around.

One bus per week.

If we leave, we might not survive.

We were careless. We're being surrounded.

I told you we couldn't retire completely.

How else could we

make such a mistake?

We've got Qiling with us. Relax.

It's us surrounding them.

What a coincidence.

We all got off at the same stop.

We just want money

but don't want to kill people.

But if we let you go,

I'm sure you'll come after us.

Isn't that right?

Mr. Wu.

We're finished. He knows us.

We can't pretend anymore.

Peers.

Do you want to cooperate?

If you don't,

we'll bury you here.

Cooperate.

By 3:7.

Seven for me, three for you.

Seven for you and three for me?

- Seven for me and three for you. - That's if my gun agrees.

Isn't that right?

Are you kidding?

Give me a reason.

Have you heard of Zhang Qiling?

The gate is about to open soon.

If you miss it,

you'll have to wait another 70 years.

You really want to cooperate?

Find a chance to call the police.

We'll hold them off for now.

I know this desert very well.

I can get there

as fast as I can.

What can you guys do?

We can't do anything,

but we can keep Qiling from killing you.

The comet's about to pass the zenith.

If we're going to work together,

we must find the entrance to the underground palace first.

It's not a good deal here.

Let's compete with our abilities.

Guys.

Let's go!

Go!

How can we know

(where the underground palace is?)

(Do you know locating the acupuncture points by observing the stars?)

(It's a secret method in Feng Shui.)

Come on!

What the hell?

No signal.

Forget it.

The underground palace will appear soon.

Keep an eye on them first.

Minimize the loss of the artifacts.

Okay.

Let's go then.

Hurry up!

Look.

There it is.

Come on.

That's right, isn't it?

Let's go.

You can read the astrolabe.

I just learned it in the car.

I don't know if it works.

Boss, this is it.

Thunder strikes a true filial son,

and fortune favors the cruel man.

The treasure is right under our feet.

Guys, don't chicken out

if you want to get rich.

Batu, Mu Ren.

Lead our guys

to work!

Let's go!

Guys.

Come on!

- Show me. - Let me see it.

Go away.

Boss.

You keep it.

Hey, take your wife.

It's your mom.

What did you say?

What did you just say?

What did you say?

What did you say?

Pangzi.

- What did you say? - Say it again.

Pangzi.

What did you say?

What did I say?

Say it again!

You...

I'll kick your ass!

Say it again.

Who allowed you to talk nonsense?

- What did you say... - Pangzi.

Batu.

Run!

Pangzi.

I'm here.

Pangzi.

I'm full of sand.

We won't be poisoned by this, will we?

What's left?

We lost shovels and heavy equipment.

Only a few

personal belongings left.

We've already reached

the bedrock layer of the desert.

That means

we're tens of meters away from the surface.

We're here for the money.

We're not all gonna die here, are we?

Shut up!

It's bad luck.

This isn't the Diamond Wall, is it?

The

Great

Desolation

Death.

Why do these four words

look so familiar?

The Great Desolation,

Death.

[The Great Desolation, Death Die at nine o'clock]

I got it.

This should be a countdown.

The Great Desolation

should refer to

the hour of "Si" in the twelve earthly branches,

which is from 9 AM

to 11 AM.

Wu must

leave here

before 9 AM.

It's almost midnight.

We have about nine hours left.

We must quickly

find shovels and dig our way out of the underground palace.

How can you be sure

there are shovels inside?

My grandfather and Li Guanzhen

came here before with a team.

Only the two of them

made it out alive.

So there must be

dead people here.

And those who died

must have left equipment behind.

Those who made it out

must have left behind

a way out.

Anyway, we're currently

trapped here and can't get out,

so we can only go in

and try our luck.

I guess I was right.

Your grandfather did come here.

Who exactly sent you?

Su.

These guys look like pros.

Be careful.

Look, the Diamond Walls

are still intact.

How did your grandfather and Li Guanzhen

get down back then?

They found the location

through the comet.

Perhaps there is

more than one entrance here.

Don't move.

Go quickly!

Come on, let's go!

Go!

Hurry!

Go!

We can only move forward now.

Wait.

How come there are four

identical doors?

We're in big trouble.

Could we have discovered

the second Shidunzi Grotto?

So that's what

the Conjuring Curse means.

The lilliputians underground palace.

[Run away right now.]

Are these written

by the previous team?

[There's still a chance of escape] It is

[if you see these words.] the previous team.

But these characters clearly are not from the same person.

Could this be

the rule that Li Guanzhen mentioned?

Looks like a rule,

but also seems like

[Run away right now.] a warning.

[Run. Don't come in.]

[Leave! Never come back!] These rules

are written quite wildly.

From the hairstyles

and postures of these lilliputians,

they resemble objects from the Jin Dynasty.

If this is truly a relic from the Jin Dynasty,

the value of these lilliputians

is immeasurable.

Boss.

[Break the rules seven times] I feel like

[and it'll come] something is off

about this place.

I think we shouldn't

touch these stone statues.

What do you know?

How can anything

in this underground palace be ordinary?

[Don't backtrack.] Pangzi.

Let's go left and look for the side room.

Generally speaking,

when my grandfather went underground,

he would dig into the side room.

Let's go.

Find a shovel.

Alright then.

Let's go and check ahead.

To be honest with you,

before I came here,

I had already called the police.

If you want to steal something,

can you really bring them out?

Figure it out for yourselves.

Wait.

You...

Boss.

Well,

should we take these things

or not?

Is there a signal?

Where did the signal come from?

It's just to scare them.

I can tell

they're here for the treasure.

Take them!

Su.

Let's go ahead and take a look.

Chen Yaozu,

you three stay here and pack up the stuff.

Why are there four identical doors

in this side room?

Treasure!

We're going to get rich.

There are also lilliputians here.

Hurry up!

They're good.

Don't touch the blind one?

We're finished.

There are no secret passages or shovels here.

Your grandfather

didn't take the usual path, huh?

Something's wrong

with this side room.

Here I come again.

Where are you?

What's wrong?

Shao Bu!

What's wrong with you? Shao Bu!

- Shao Bu! - Shao Bu!

- Shao Bu! - Shao Bu!

Shao Bu!

- Shao Bu! - Shao Bu!

- Shao Bu! - Shao Bu!

(I see you.)

Something's wrong.

Go back and take a look.

What's going on?

Qiling?

What's wrong?

Go back.

Go back to the side room now!

Run!

Wait for me!

Su.

What's going on?

I don't know.

I don't know.

We've only been here half an hour.

The underground palace...

You're in such a hurry.

You really surprised me.

You've improved a lot lately, seriously.

Will these other three paths

lead us

to a dead end like this one?

[Don't backtrack.]

Qiling.

Do you remember the words

in that room just now?

Don't backtrack.

My grandfather's notes

also mentioned something similar.

No going back.

(Then we might be in trouble.)

[No going back.] [He had a team with him.]

But one thing

is clear:

my grandpa made it out back then,

so we must be able to get out, too.

No going back.

There are three paths here.

Out of the three paths,

there must be one that leads to the exit.

In my opinion,

if necessary, we can just go around

to the Diamond Wall

and dig our way out by hand.

That's impossible.

Just now, the ground collapsed,

and the sand piled up several tens of meters thick.

If you dig with your hands,

apart from the ground collapsing as you dig,

even if you were

to use up both hands,

you wouldn't be able to get two or three meters out.

That's why we need a shovel.

Wu Xie.

Is it you playing the tricks?

Why can't I go back?

What nonsense are you talking about?

This underground palace doesn't belong to us.

Who do you think you are?

Pangzi.

You don't deserve to be plotted by us.

Pangzi.

Forget it.

Don't waste your breath.

Let's go.

I'm sick of it!

Mr. Wu.

I'm sorry.

We all listen to you.

What did you see before?

Could you please share some information?

We probably shouldn't backtrack here.

Boss,

should we listen

to his words?

If we have to choose

between you and Wu Xie,

I'll definitely listen to Wu Xie.

Do you remember

how much money

our boss paid us?

Since he paid us so much,

this place must be something special.

Calm down, everyone.

Su.

Wu Xie said we can't go back.

What should we do?

We'll find out if we try.

With so many of us,

we can split up and explore.

Alright.

Let's try

the tunnel up ahead.

You test it for us.

Okay.

Alata.

Boss.

Well...

I'll go this way.

What about me, boss?

Buddy.

You don't believe in Wu Xie?

Actually, I don't either.

Now it's your turn

to test this backtracking path

for the sake of us.

I won't.

Buddy,

do you remember

what your mother told you

before we left the village?

She told you to listen to me

so you could make a fortune with me, right?

Would I harm you?

Once we get out of here,

you'll be able to get rich.

Isn't he your relative?

There's a rule in our business.

If you want to get rich,

you have to start

by sacrificing the most useless person.

Among all these people,

the most useless one is me.

I should die first.

Darling,

as long as I say you're useful,

then you will be.

There's no problem here.

There's no problem here.

There are also lilliputian figurines,

just like before.

[No traps, safe.]

Good luck!

Good luck!

Hey, boss.

There's a shovel.

I've got it.

Keep it safe.

Don't let Wu Xie and others find out.

Looks like they found the shovel

but didn't want us to know.

So they're deliberately saying things

we can't understand.

Playing tricks, are they?

Forget about them for now.

Let's keep looking.

Batu,

someone died over there.

They're really going all out.

We have to put in more effort, too.

And you.

Try harder.

How about one of us die for it?

No.

It's good to be alive.

Look for the shovel.

Qiling.

Boss.

I've got gems in this room.

You guys wait where you are.

Don't backtrack.

I'll go find you

after meeting up with Su first.

Hey, you guys over there.

Pay attention to the rules

to avoid causing harm to us.

[Take them all away.]

Su.

Su.

Batu...

How's the quality of the goods?

This ship is full of superb antique jade.

Each piece

is priceless.

Su.

How could someone

build a water feature

in this underground palace?

This shouldn't be water.

It's tung oil.

Tung oil?

Get to work.

Wu Xie.

Wu Xie.

Come and look at this.

Died of a broken spine.

He was from my grandfather's team.

But he didn't have a shovel either.

There's also a mirror here.

Let me admire my handsome face in it.

Feels like my skin is a bit dry though.

There's a moon drawn on the ground

and a cross on the moon.

Are you out of your mind?

How could there be a moon under the ground?

It's voice-activated.

Pangzi, there's something wrong with this light.

Be careful not to get caught in it.

There really is a moon.

You have good skills, Wu Xie.

These years spent with Blindie were not wasted.

Wu Xie, think of something!

Pangzi! Water!

Water!

Water!

Here's water.

Take it, Qiling.

Come on.

Try it!

Pangzi.

Are you okay?

I'm okay.

I'm lucky.

I'm fine.

I'm blessed with a great life.

Why...

Why are they singing?

Don't scare me.

♪One hides♪

♪One helps♪

♪The others are busy searching♪

It's bad.

♪Children, don't panic♪

♪Moonlight shines on him♪

♪On his head…♪

What's wrong with my neck?

Here I come again.

I can't move my arms and legs.

♪Turn around and swing…♪

(Where are you?)

♪Turn around and swing…♪

Wu Xie.

(Come and find me.)

♪We are all good friends…♪

Do something!

♪We are all good friends♪

Yes.

(I see you.)

♪No one can leave from now on♪

Almost there.

Wu Xie, it's reversed.

That's too much.

Almost there.

Yes. That's it.

Almost done.

You know.

This makes me

feel much better.

Take care of your son.

If he messes with me again,

I'll kick his ass.

That's my real dad.

It's not safe here.

Get out of here.

Wait for me to tie up him a bit.

We're doomed.

Looks like we're gonna die here

with the lilliputians.

Now the only way out of this

is to knock down the moon.

Leave now!

Qiling!

Pangzi!

Pangzi.

Are you okay?

Yes, I'm fine.

- Qiling! - Qiling!

Qiling.

Are you okay, Qiling?

Qiling.

How are you, Qiling?

You guys go first.

Okay.

Then we'll go find tools first

and then figure out a way to meet up.

Be careful, Qiling.

Su.

Why are you picking up

those worthless stones?

The rule here is

"Take them all away."

This is...

Be careful.

What's going on?

Why did it suddenly catch fire?

I was wrong.

"Take them all away"

means take them along with the tung oil.

Those stones

will spontaneously combust once exposed to air.

Without me,

you won't be able to leave.

It is

full of rules

and traps here.

You're doomed

if you can't

understand them.

Take me with you.

Take me with you.

I...

I won't hold you back.

This is the thing I hid.

Three for me and seven for you.

He won't share the money with you.

With this money,

you can leave him.

As for me,

I just want to survive.

Mu Ren.

Mu Ren.

Mu Ren.

Mu Ren.

Su Kunshan.

Where will Mu Ren go

with a shovel?

[Flying Night Ghost]

There might be something big.

We can't backtrack,

so we can only go forward.

Wu Xie.

Here!

There's no way out

over there.

We'll have to climb up.

Don't move!

Pangzi.

Pangzi.

Save him or not?

Save him!

Are we going to leave him to die?

He's alive.

He's reacting.

He's awake.

Don't scream.

Don't scream.

Don't speak.

Don't speak. Get out of here.

Understand?

Get up.

Wu Xie.

I'm fine.

What's going on?

The mechanism is broken.

I can't leave.

I can't climb up anymore.

You go quickly.

Go.

Wu Xie, give me your hand.

Wu Xie.

You're all still alive.

As you can see.

You followed Qiling here

because you wanted to find a way out, right?

Mr. Wu.

You must know something, right?

I saw this painting

in the underground palace

just now.

Based on this painting,

we shouldn't

be exploring this underground palace

on the same level.

There should be differences in height.

If the Diamond Wall

is on the second floor,

we should be on the first

or third floor.

Now the most important thing is

we should go here,

the main hall.

What makes you sure

that this painting is real?

Because

my grandfather painted it.

He was illiterate before

and learned to write only after the founding of the country.

Because

he learned to write later,

there are always some traces

of the past in his handwriting.

[The main tomb will kill people] What does

"No backtrack" mean?

I think it's an anti-burglary device

to trap people in the underground palace.

We don't have much time.

Let's try to find an exit in the main hall.

According to the murals

in the underground palace just now,

this underground palace

was built by a group of sorcerers.

Although the lilliputians

in this underground palace look odd,

upon closer thinking,

it is all related to ancient illusions.

Shattered faces and blind eyes.

Broken heads and dismembered bodies.

This group of sorcerers

also had a mysterious secret.

They could make everyone believe

that what they saw was real.

So they were once worshipped as deities.

That's right.

But they were killed

by the imperial court

for practicing astronomy and calendars.

The escaped sorcerers

built this underground palace

in the Gobi Desert.

Why do you think

the imperial court

would confront these sorcerers?

Because ancient emperors

believed that astronomy and astrology

would affect the fate of the country.

So they strictly forbade private practice among the common people.

However,

why did these sorcerers

risk their lives

to secretly practice the calendar?

Shut up!

I don't care about

why they practiced astronomy.

I only care about where the treasure is,

what this monster is,

and

how we get out of here.

Aren't you my strategist?

Why can he talk so much?

Speak up!

Have you ever heard of the Flying Night Ghost?

Flying Night Ghost? What's that?

Legend has it

that in the Jin Dynasty,

there was a sorcerer named Du Jiuyou.

He used an illusion technique

to create a creature

called the Flying Night Ghost.

Not only could it not be killed,

but it also grew extremely fast.

Eventually,

due to the realism of this illusion,

it was soon banned by the imperial court.

Here we go.

Let's go.

Be careful.

This coffin is quite intriguing.

Well...

I should study it thoroughly.

Well...

What if there's an exit inside?

I advise you

to give up

this unrealistic fantasy.

Just study it,

but don't open it.

Look.

Whoever opens the coffin will never see the light again.

Who wrote this?

Is this a rule?

It's just a decoration.

Regardless of who wrote it,

it's best for us

to abide by everything here.

We don't open it.

Don't.

I'll go down and take a look.

- Be careful. - Don't open it.

These tricksters

could even perform exorcisms.

Their range of skills is quite extensive.

Not as broad as you.

I'm not blind, am I?

Except for the rule

about not opening the coffin earlier,

why aren't there any other rules?

This indicates

that besides my grandfather and Li Guanzhen,

no living person has been here.

Hey!

Screw you.

I didn't open the coffin,

but you did!

How many of my men...

Get down!

Died on this trip?

I can't

just go back empty-handed.

Get down here!

Screw you!

How dare you!

Damn!

Damn!

Stop it now!

Get away!

Why didn't you shoot?

I don't have any bullets. How can I shoot?

Gold!

A coffin full of gold!

We're gonna be rich!

Buddies,

we're gonna be rich!

(This group of sorcerers)

(also had a mysterious secret.)

(They could make everyone believe)

(that what they saw was real.)

Pangzi.

We may not make it out of here.

It's not golden sand.

Instead, it's a peculiar type of sand

that a comet scattered

as it passed over the Earth.

This sand

can create

unbreakable illusions.

It was discovered by a sorcerer

and used in their illusions.

They even

created the terrifying illusion

of the Flying Night Ghost.

We probably inhaled this sand

and started experiencing illusions

before entering the underground palace.

But if everything is an illusion,

why did Li Guanzhen come back?

The illusions

created by this sand

are indistinguishable from reality.

People don't necessarily have to

live in the realm of reality.

(They can also choose)

(to live in an indistinguishable illusion.)

This entire area is filled with comet sand.

As long as we're inside this underground palace,

we can't break through the illusion

and find the real way out.

Then how do we get out?

I've searched this area thoroughly.

There are no more rules.

In the first room,

I saw a line of characters.

What characters?

Why didn't you say anything earlier?

I don't understand what those Chinese characters mean.

Can you draw them then?

Isn't it Sanskrit?

Indians have also been here?

It'll come if you break the rules seven times.

Well, it has nothing to do with leaving then.

Flying...

Flying Night Ghost.

The Flying Night Ghost will come.

The Flying Night Ghost?

That will be great.

I can take it back to make soup.

Leaving these characters in the underground palace

indicates that this thing

must be extremely terrifying.

How many times have we violated it?

Including the one he did,

six times.

I forgot to count my own.

Watch out!

Is there an exit down there?

There's no exit down there.

But my grandfather must have been here before.

The clue must be here too.

Find a way to get it.

- Qiling. - Qiling.

Wu Xie.

Qiling.

It's afraid of fire.

I know how to get out now.

Really?

The group of sorcerers

built the underground palace here

because

it's in the lowlands of the desert.

When the comet appeared,

it scattered

a large amount of minerals here,

and these minerals,

along with the sand,

converged in the lowlands and then flew into the underground palace.

After being filtered through this coffin,

they became the comet sand we see now.

So you're saying

this coffin is a sand filter?

Exactly.

The eyes of the two portraits

are the passages for transporting sand,

which leads to the surface.

Do my eyes deceive me?

Are those two eyes

about to close?

It's the Great Desolation.

The Great Desolation is coming soon.

Qiling.

The exit is in the eyes.

You go first.

Let's go!

Let's go!

You go!

Don't give up.

Let's go together.

I have no chance.

Wu Xie.

Third Uncle.

Third Uncle.

Wu Xie.

Wu Xie.

[Wu Shanju]

You mean

the missing page of notes

was torn by your grandfather himself?

That's right.

Why?

When my grandfather wrote it,

he probably didn't have any descendants yet.

Later, he was afraid that future generations

would be unable

to resist the temptation of comet sand like Li Guanzhen,

so he tore that page

with the purpose of preventing future generations

from easily entering this underground palace.

Has the poor Li Guanzhen

been driven crazy by sand or what?

He didn't even think about it himself.

With his old arms and legs,

how could he make it through the Gobi

and get out of the underground palace?

He doesn't know what he's doing.

He wasn't driven mad

but went completely crazy

with desire.

Li Guanzhen thought he had brought out the comet sand,

but in reality,

he had been living in his own fantasies all along.

(Humans)

(tend to immerse themselves in the good things)

(but refuse to accept the cruelty of reality.)

(Those sorcerers)

(have always been obsessed with)

(their own fantasies.)

(Perhaps the real them)

(is not much different)

(from Li Guanzhen.)

(That underground palace)

(probably didn't have anything at all.)

It's raining!

Come on.

Quick, come here.

Come in.

What should we do?

What should we do?

Let's take it as it comes.

Let's go!

[Acquire antiques, Wu Shanju]

Let's go.

[Wu Shanju]

[Tomb Collection has been cracked; hundreds of tombs await to be explored.]

[Yuchen]

Answer it!

Wu Xie.

An old friend from the Mystic Nine asked me to do something for him.

But Blindie and I are going on a trip.

It's quite a tricky matter.

No one else can handle it.

I'll send him to you.

We're heading to the Rain Village now.

Find someone else.

Wait!

No, let me talk to him.

Look ahead.

You answer it.

Once this task is done,

how much debt can we offset?

One percent.

Let's do it!

Deal.

What's his name?

You will know when you meet him.

He naturally has a way to find you.
