[Kunlun Tomb]

[Episode 2]

Here you go, it's getting cold.

Have something hot to warm yourself up.

This was also donated to us by the pilgrims recently.

That's the taste I remember.

Delicious, isn't it?

Truth be told, I really was worried that I couldn't find you this time.

It's been so many years.

You will find me here whenever you visit.

After we killed that wolf back then,

I swore to stay by the lake and do more worthy things.

Pray for those fallen victims.

Here.

Oh, right.

Has that big guy's leg healed?

How is Gema?

Severe paraplegia.

Oh right, A'Ke.

I remember you told me before that you were a prophetic bard.

I'm here to find out more about the Demon Kingdom in the epic poem.

Can you help me?

Demon Kingdom?

Why?

Here's the thing.

My friends and I have contracted a peculiar disease.

If we don't treat it now, we might die in a few years.

Apparently, the legendary Fowl Dust Orb can cure it.

We finally found the orb, but we don't know how to use it.

The Nine-Level Demon Pagoda in the Demon Kingdom might hold key information about it.

So I want to try my luck in Kunlun.

The epic poem mentioned

that a tyrant ruled the Demon Kingdom before.

He was

eliminated by Dharma Oddiyana and the invincible Master of Pearls.

All the demons were sealed in the pagoda.

If your endeavor awakens the demons from their slumber,

it'll be a great sin.

A'Ke.

Actually, I'm not doing this only for myself.

One of my friends is a Zagelama descendant.

All of his clansmen have this disease,

and many of them have lost their lives searching for the Fowl Dust Orb.

Now that we have the orb, we're just one step away.

Therefore, no matter what, I have to give it a try.

Fine then.

I'll go with you.

[Shiquanhe Town]

You're here.

Let me make introductions. This is A'Ke,

the prophetic bard I mentioned.

- This is Shirley Yang. - Hello.

- Blessings and good luck. Tashi delek. - Nice to meet you. (T/N: Tibetan expression used in greeting)

The motels in the town are fully occupied, so I rented some empty houses.

You'll have to make do for tonight.

- Sure. - Thank you.

Rest up.

I'll introduce our new members to you.

You have met A'Dong,

Uncle Ming's assistant.

A sweet-talker. Quite cunning.

Han Shuna.

Some woman Uncle Ming found.

He said she works in the antiques business and studies ancient things.

Ancient things? Like ancient poems?

No, ancient bodies.

She's a woman who is into cadavers. How morbid.

And that expressionless man is Uncle Ming's chauffeur.

He never smiled once on our way here.

It's as if we all owe him money.

But I don't think he's an ordinary man.

O-over here, please.

Go on inside.

Not bad. Keen observations you have there.

I know, right?

I had to run the background check before I presented them to you, right?

Why are there so many people?

You think this is a lot?

There's one more in the car.

One more?

Hu Bayi.

Old Hu, your reputation precedes you.

Where are we staying?

I'll show you the place then.

Let's go inside first.

What's wrong?

Why did you bring your whole family here?

You think this is vacation? You even brought a child.

It's like this, Old Hu,

have you heard of Yin Yang Eyes?

What Yin Yang Eyes?

They exist.

A'Xiang is my goddaughter.

She might be shy and reserved in front of strangers, but her Yin Yang Eyes are uncanny.

She can foresee dangers.

Have some.

Listen to me.

Her Yin Yang Eyes have saved me more than once.

So whenever I go somewhere dangerous, I have to bring her with me.

All right, all right.

How about this, Uncle Ming?

You take her back first.

I'll find your father's body and carry it back for you.

No, no. I cannot let others do what I should do as a pious son.

I have to do this myself.

I might be 60 years old, but I'm in good health.

We're at least 4,000 meters above sea level, so it's normal if you have altitude sickness.

If you feel dizzy, take in more oxygen.

Don't do any vigorous activities.

Oh, right. We're leaving tomorrow.

Thank you.

Let's take the scroll out and have a look at it.

I feel better now.

Everyone here knows each other.

It should be fine.

Let's read the first chapter, all right?

Why?

We're about to depart.

We don't need that much information.

What if they read everything and abandon us here?

What are you insinuating?

Enough, enough.

You are already struggling to breathe, and you still want to pretend?

Fine.

We can read a chapter or two.

Tell us now.

Where are we going tomorrow?

The ancient Gulaluo ruins to find the Silver Gulaluo Eye.

The ruins are huge. How can we locate the Silver Eye?

The clue says that as long as we find the Samsara Temple, we will find the silver eye inside.

As for where the temple is, we'll need your expertise then.

Samsara Temple?

The Samsara Temple of the Samsara Sect?

I don't know.

A'Ke.

You know this place?

The Samsara Sect is a remnant of the fall of the Demon Kingdom.

It killed a lot of people back then.

But the Gulaluo Dynasty once worshiped the Samsara Sect,

so it shouldn't be too challenging to find the Samsara Temple.

But not many dare venture there.

Why do you say that?

Rumor has it that there is a hidden passage to Hell there, where flesh-eating demons were imprisoned

Once you enter the passage, you'll never make it out alive.

It's been many years.

The Samsara Temple is now abandoned.

[Ancient Gulaluo Ruins]

No one dares venture close to it.

I can't do this anymore.

How much further do we have to walk?

The Samsara Temple was built on a mountain.

There are only villages and ramparts at the foot of the mountain.

If the temple still stands,

it should be behind the guardian shrine.

You can't even see it.

What's the matter?

Uncle Ming!

A'Xiang.

Uncle Ming.

A'Xiang.

What's going on?

What's the matter?

Did you see something unholy?

She's too weak.

We're in the plateaus, after all.

I don't think she can keep going upward.

This is altitude sickness!

Uncle Ming.

Just stay here with her.

Don't go any farther.

It's okay. It's okay.

Peter, take A'Xiang back first.

- Careful. - Old Hu, let's continue.

Shuna.

Careful.

Come on.

[Samsara Temple]

The Samsara Temple is here.

What is all this depicting?

The hellish torment the Samsara Sect believes in.

This is the Sin Eater Balu.

Sin Eater Balu?

It punishes the sinners.

It's a myth, right?

Let me tell you. All myths are concocted by humans.

You can't believe it.

All myths and legends...

are inspired by reality.

Old Hu.

It sounds like demons!

Uncle Ming.

This is just an abandoned temple.

Will it really have your Silver Gulaluo Eye?

Are you messing with us?

How was I supposed to know it would be like this?

Why would I lie to you?

What? My God.

I mean really, you...

Whatever. You wouldn't understand anyway.

Old Hu.

Silver Gulaluo Eye.

Sir. Sir.

Nice one, Uncle Ming.

You sure are strong.

Like the Astro Boy.

Call me Superman.

The passage to Hell really does exist.

Let's go have a look inside.

This is a cavern temple.

Are you in a hurry?

Maybe you're just too fat.

Fine. You're the elderly.

You go first.

It seems like someone sealed this place intentionally in the past.

Why is there a Buddha statue by the entrance?

Miss Yang,

do you think this Buddha statue is made of pure gold?

It doesn't look like it,

but,

it doesn't look like it's bronze, either.

Shuna.

Don't get too close!

Hurry, get back here.

Don't you think it smells like dead rats in here?

It's made from the smelting of five metals, which were then poured into a cast.

The statue has fully oxidized, so it's hard to tell now.

Only Gulaluo people knew this craft.

The technique for making this is long gone.

A golden Buddha statue with silver eyes is even rarer.

This will fetch a good price.

Miss Yang, you sure know a lot.

They sure used the real deal to make this.

What are you doing?

What?

Don't randomly touch things.

What if you trigger a trap?

Then won't you get us all killed?

Uncle Ming, aren't you here to look for your father's body?

Why does it seem like you hold this statue more dearly than you do your dad.

Right.

My father is my first priority.

I'm just browsing.

Yes, browsing, browsing.

Then I'll browse around too.

I let you do it first because you're older.

Now, it's my turn. All right?

Come here.

Come here!

It is very old.

Old Hu, they even have couplets on the door.

What do they say?

Don't act blind.

A'Ke.

These are spells, aren't they?

What's written on them? Can you understand it?

Judging from the talismans, Samsara Hell is behind this door.

The soul of a great sinner will be trapped inside after he has died,

so this door...

can never be opened.

It scared me to death!

Stop shouting. It's just a rat!

Old Hu, let's head back.

Check out those murals.

Let's leave here.

We'll seal the wall later.

Go, go, go.

Let's go.

Hey, Old Hu.

Uncle Ming toppled the pillar with one shove.

Did they skimp on the materials during the construction?

Do you think we're safe here?

It was not a load bearing beam, so it should be a fake pillar.

I really didn't think it was strong enough to break the wall.

God knows what else is in there.

We really aren't taking the Buddha statue?

Should I unseal the hole so that you can carry the Buddha statue back home to worship?

Forget it, forget it.

Hey Uncle Ming, let's get down to business.

Can you show us your scroll now?

Shuna.

Enough of your tantrum.

Show them the scroll. Everyone's waiting.

What if they read it and abandon you here because they think you're of no use anymore?

How about this?

Tell them to sign this contract so that they have to bring us with them. Then it's okay.

You-You're just making everything tougher than it should.

Old Hu.

Why don't you have a look?

Really?

What song are you singing?

You think having a scroll gives you all the power?

You want to coerce us?

Let's go.

You two sign that and have fun.

See?

Wait! Wait!

They are mad now. Show it to them already.

Old Hu, I'm sorry.

Women have their tantrums.

Sorry, I didn't mean you.

I meant the women in my family.

Here.

There is an eyeball on this scroll and on the Silver Gulaluo Eye.

They are both circles, divided equally into eight segments.

They should correspond to each other, but what do they share in common?

What is written here?

It's written about the tombs of all the leaders of the Samsara Sect.

The tombs of all the leaders of the Samsara Sect?

Where are they?

All the Samsara...

- How am I supposed to know where exactly? - All leaders of the Samsara Sect...

Let me have a look.

Maybe it's up there.

Old Hu.

S-sorry.

I think it should be up here, right?

- Fatty. - What?

Point the flashlight at us.

Shine it here.

Flashlight.

Lift it up.

Come on, lift it up.

Uncle Ming, come give us a hand.

Flashlight.

A'Dong, come hold the flashlight!

I'm coming. I'm coming.

Lift it higher.

Rotate.

Higher.

A bit to the left.

Okay.

One.

Two.

Three.

Four.

Five. Six.

They are coordinates.
