Great Benefactor Zhang in Majia Town

made a fortune in business.

But Mr. Zhang got seriously ill.

Following the Fengshui master's guidance,

the whole family moved to Majia Town.

They did good all day long.

Is there anything else to eat?

Yes.

Come in.

We can go in.

Thank you.

Men are not allowed inside.

Why?

Please let us in.

We haven't eaten for days.

Take this.

Thank you, my lord.

Thank you, my lord.

I'll take you to the front yard later.

Don't go anywhere

other than the dining area.

Give it to me.

Sister, we really met a good man.

Live forever

Sister.

Sister.

Homage

Sister.

Sister.

Flowing river, setting sun, primordial hate

The high spirit of our ancestors is in the hall

Homage

Homage

I told you

not to go anywhere

except the dining area.

Who is the old man in the picture?

Great Benefactor Zhang.

He just passed away a few days ago.

Sister.

Where did you go?

Madam wants to speak with you.

Madam.

What's your name?

How many people are there in your family?

Xiao Hui.

After the famine,

the troupe collapsed,

so I brought my sister out.

Have you ever been soiled by a man?

No.

Take her to the room.

You are really lucky.

Madam likes you

and asked you to be her personal maid.

That's right.

From now on,

you and your sister will

live a blessed life in Zhang Residence.

Xiao Hui thought that good days were coming.

Zhang Residence

They didn't have to starve anymore.

Did my sister really leave first?

House of virtue

House of virtue

Greetings, Mr. Zhang and

Mrs. Zhang.

I like the skin you picked.

Legend has it that

the Dragon Pearl can exchange souls for life.

The peal is in the Soul Suppressing Coffin.

If you want it, you have to go down the tomb.

Dragon Hunting.Soul Suppressing Coffin

To find the Dragon Pearl,

go to the Soul Suppressing Coffin

and offer sacrifices

to the tomb under the Netherworld River.

Unfortunately, there are countless ghosts in this tomb.

I'm afraid we won't return.

Guys, tell him

what we do.

We are grave robbers.

We've been traveling for so many years.

The guests come and go like clouds

We've seen all kinds of strange ancient tombs.

If it's been put in my hands,

I have to find out the truth.

Besides,

I've heard too many stories.

How would I know

if what you said is true

or false?

If I ran slowly back then,

I would have died.

Fatty Er.

Stop hitting him!

Fatty Er, are you okay?

Are you crazy?

Excuse me, this is my brother.

My brother had a fever that burned his brain.

Did he bump into you?

What has his brain problem got to do with me?

Sir,

please calm down.

Where did he hit you? Let me wipe it for you.

Go away.

How about this?

This is some compensation for you.

Please forgive us

and don't take it to heart.

That's right.

I'm really sorry.

How about this?

I'll prepare a bottle of wine for you.

What are you arguing about?

I just got excited.

I feel nothing now.

Where is Lao Er and Lao San?

We're here.

Is everything ready?

Yes.

Yes, boss.

Yes.

Let's go.

Okay.

When I come back,

I'll eat you again.

General Liu got seriously ill a few days ago.

He offered a box of gold for anyone who could

find the legendary Soul Suppressing Coffin.

As long as you get the soul-switching treasure in the coffin,

you won't have to worry about food and clothing

for the rest of your life.

Now we have the map.

As agreed upon,

I'll go down the tomb

and exchange the treasures for gold.

We'll share it.

How would I know if you'll come back after taking the treasure?

I came to you

just to steal the map.

We took the map together.

We have to go down the tomb together.

You guys?

I, Feng Yuhang, am an educated person.

If there are ancient words in the tomb,

I'm afraid only I can understand it.

My husband died early

and I have no one to rely on.

If I didn't use my body to stall Thief Boss,

you wouldn't have gotten the map.

So,

I have to go.

The inn is my brother's family business and mine.

I also got the map with my brother.

My brother was almost beaten to death to get the map.

We both have to go.

The fool is going to?

I want to go too.

I don't know you.

I'm Fan Wenkui.

Adjutant of General Liu.

General Liu commissioned the most experienced thieves.

Longevity

Three brothers have the construction map

of the Soul Suppressing Coffin.

They will stay at the inn at the foot of the West Mountain before they leave.

They'll leave when they're fully prepared.

If you don't know me, do you know these?

You're the one who spread the news to me.

Longevity

It sounds like he's trying to trick us.

I said I was General Liu's adjutant,

but I'm actually just one of his dogs.

It's better to rob for gold.

I didn't tell you my real identity

because I didn't want you to expose me.

I wanted to have back up.

In that case,

let's go down the tomb together

and exchange the Pearl for gold.

We'll divide it by head.

Filial piety

But if you die,

the coffins in this courtyard will be your home.

Have you invited Mr. Gui Qi, the Fengshui master?

There are ghosts everywhere in the tomb.

This is the Fengshui master I hired.

I'm Xu Chang'an.

Master had a stroke last night and couldn't move well.

The deposit

will be returned.

Longevity

Uncle Ye must have misjudged him.

There are many fake masters in this world.

Are you afraid?

This map is full of mountains.

The starting routes are below.

The view from the mountain range

is divination of Xun Gua.

Xun Gua is the fifty-seventh divination in the 64 divinations of the Yi Jing.

Social divination represents power,

culture,

civilization,

and desert.

If I guessed correctly,

you were hired by someone powerful.

There will be a desert behind the mountain.

And the entrance to the tomb

is nearby.

Xun is wind.

There will be a sandstorm in the desert.

You should be careful.

You're really something.

I've only learnt a little from Master after five years.

He is the master.

Please respect him.

Longevity

Are you Xu Chang'an from Linzhou?

Who?

Filial piety

Filial piety

Did you hear

what we just said?

Who gave you the necklace?

Mother gave it to me.

Mother said my father's name is Xu Chang'an.

So she named me Xu Nian'an.

What's your mother's name?

Her name is Ye Quan.

Open the door!

Hurry up!

I'm not leaving.

Don't worry.

I'm already yours.

Where is she?

She's gone.

Mother

took everywhere to borrow money for medical treatment.

But she caught a cold on the way.

She didn't get well.

I live in this coffin shop.

There are unmarked burial mounds in the back.

I eat sacrifices at night.

What illness do you have?

The doctor said there's something in my head

that I need to take it out.

Are you six years old?

I'll take you to see a doctor.

Brain disease needs surgery in a big city.

It costs a lot of money.

Do you have it?

Homage

Take us to the tomb, we'll return the deposit.

My husband was a funeral worker.

He often said

we should bow before making money from the dead.

Since we've decided to go down the tomb,

we need to help the lonely ghosts

so things will be easier.

Fatty Er.

Let go.

Let go!

You...

You...

Stop!

Stop!

Stop!

Stop!

I finally met my father.

You want me to wait for you here?

What if you don't come back?

What if I'm gone when you come back?

I promise I will be good.

Dad, don't leave me again.

Since the money has been sent out,

Censorate of the Holy Dynasty

how about

let's go and replace it for real money?

I have bad news.

The Bloody Robber should be in town.

He must have come for the Soul Suppressing Coffin.

We've long left the town.

What's there to be afraid of?

It is said that the Bloody Robber specializes in killing people

to take their identities.

On my way here,

I saw a headless skeleton.

The method is similar to the rumored Bloody Robber.

I think

the Bloody Robber

might be within us.

Why are you looking at me?

I'm not the robber.

All you do is laugh.

Let's go.

Hya!

It's such a sunny day.

It's an auspicious sign.

How could there be a sandstorm?

The wind is too strong.

Where is the tomb?

This place is a bit strange.

We have to get out of here.

The map!

Got it!

Got it!

Run!

The map!

Nian'an.

Nian'an!

Nian'an!

Nian'an!

Nian'an!

Nian'an!

Where is the map?

Where is the map?

Nian'an!

Nian'an!

Are you okay?

Nian'an!

Father.

Father, I'm here.

She has the map.

Father, I'm here.

Nian'an!

Father.

Nian'an.

Father.

Nian'an!

Nian'an!

Nian'an!

Nian'an!

Nian'an!

Nian'an!

Nian'an.

Nian'an.

Are you okay?

This is the tomb passage.

We're in the tomb passage now.

Run!

Can't you open the door?

Do something!

Otherwise, we'll all die here.

The Eight Diagrams include Internal Eight Diagrams and External Eight Diagrams.

As long as we can find the right order and direction,

we can open the door.

If you do it the wrong way,

we will be stuck here forever.

I got it.

The key is in the fresco.

What?

Dad!

Father, come back!

Dad!

Dad!

Dad!

Come back!

Dad!

Dad!

The Diagram of Zhen is dragon.

Zhen responds to the Four Thunders in the East.

Li Kun Dui Qian

Xun Zhen Gen Kan

Facing the east,

I should turn it clockwise.

The Xiantian Number is four.

One.

The Diagram of Dui is sheep.

When I face the west

and the West is short of double rivers,

I should turn it counterclockwise.

The Xiantian Number is two.

Go!

Hurry up. Go!

Here.

We entered the coffin chamber by accident.

To achieve great things,

one should never be afraid of death.

Mr. Fan, you are really amazing.

You will achieve great things for sure.

Don't be complacent.

The diagram on the door just now is called Thunder over the River.

After I worked it out,

the Diagram of Dui is below the River

and the Diagram of Zhen is over the Thunder.

The diagram I used is the least safe one.

It is seen as a death diagram.

Forget your River or Thunder.

We are already here.

I won't go back empty-handed.

Since you are here,

I...

I'll give you a good deposit

and share the gold with you.

We can't go back anyway.

Right?

Dad.

How can we get out of here?

There is an inner path in every main coffin chamber.

Maybe we can get out from there.

So you know how to find a way out.

It's dangerous here.

Follow me.

Let's split into two groups

to find the entrance to the main coffin chamber.

Let's go.

There's a door here.

I've found a door too.

This is a corridor.

Where should we go?

Hurry up!

Why are we still in the same place?

Is there really a ghost?

The tomb is designed to be a maze.

It has different parts.

Each part is made the same as another one.

You'll get lost if you walk in the tomb for a long time.

Count all the things on the corridor.

Pay attention to the number of palace lanterns, stairs,

roof tiles and the color of the doors.

Small differences will be found,

if we examine all the details carefully.

Mr. Fan,

you are so knowledgeable.

What is this red string for?

The red string is used to help us find directions.

If we get lost, we can backtrack with it.

Mr. Fan,

how about I go with you?

Uncle Ye and I will be in the same group.

You make your own decisions how you should be grouped.

I'll go.

Who is it?

You used to do hunting for a living.

I've been a hunter for my entire life.

In the woods, you can not only hunt wolves

but also rob people there.

Have you ever killed anyone?

No.

You are lying.

You are the Bloody Robber.

Who told you that?

I'm not him.

You killed Uncle Ye and pretended to be him.

Ghost!

What are you doing?

What am I doing?

I'll do whatever you want me to do.

I killed someone because you asked me to do it.

I robbed a tomb because you wanted me to do it.

I want nothing

but you.

Why are you so excited?

Are you crazy?

You think I didn't see it?

That adjutant has a high position

so you flirted with him.

Don't you want to run away with him?

No.

If you dare to abandon me,

I'll tell everyone

you asked me to kill your husband.

It's you who killed him.

Let me tell you,

we are in the same boat.

If the boat turned over,

neither of us would benefit from it.

Enough.

I'm still with you now.

I'm yours

forever.

Do you have a nosebleed often?

Am I going to die?

No.

You will live forever.

It's him.

I killed him!

What's going on?

I killed him!

It's him!

Luo's Residence

He seduced my wife.

So I killed him.

The red lanterns here

are exactly the same as those in the theater.

He is taking his revenge on me.

It's just illusion.

How did you know I killed someone?

I let someone

save you from the death row.

I gave you hints secretly

to encourage you to steal the map

and rob this tomb to find gold.

You said you've never killed anyone.

Then you must be the Bloody Robber.

Who just fired a shot?

The gun went off by accident.

What's going on?

Help!

Help!

Murder!

Go away!

Go away!

Go away!

Chunling.

What happened?

Sister.

Happy Marriage

Are you okay?

It's real.

It's real.

Real.

Real.

There's really a ghost!

Ghosts are here to kill us.

We...

None of us...

None of us

can escape!

It's real.

Are you okay?

You...

My brother was killed

because of you!

Come back!

Calm down.

Let's find a way out.

There are four lanterns here.

In the corridor I just walked through there are two lanterns.

Ye saw six on his way.

So the key is the number of lanterns.

I know how to get out of here now.

This maze is designed based on the River Pattullo Book.

The numbers of the palace lamps on the corridor

are consistent with the four divisions in the Book.

South Front North Back

East Left West Right

According to the four divisions in the Book,

the Diagram of Qian is nine and Kun is six;

Kan is one and Li is two;

Zhen is three and Dui is four;

Gen is seven and Xun is eight.

The Life Gate is in the direction of Xun in the southwest.

We're in the direction of Dui.

If we can go back to the Diagram of Zhen,

we can find the exit in the Diagram of Li.

Homage

Do you think

these things look familiar?

The coffin shop.

What we burned in front of the coffin shop is all here.

Divine Residence

What do you mean?

Burning something into ash

is the only way to build connections between Yin and Yang realms.

In other words, what we burned

like the joss paper,

paper figures,

and paper houses

will all come to the underworld.

Homage

Divine Residence

It's moving.

Chang'an.

Chang'an?

I've been waiting for you.

Why didn't you come back for me?

I did.

But I didn't find you.

I thought

I would never see you again.

I thought you were dead.

So I retired from the world with my master.

Now,

we can be together again.

Where are we now?

The Netherworld.

Everyone will come here

after they die.

As long as we are together,

even in the netherworld,

it's still beautiful.

Why is this necklace still on your neck?

You're not Ye Quan.

I am.

You're not Ye Quan.

Don't you love me anymore?

You are not!

Homage

Divine Residence

So these are all illusions.

Hurry!

Wake up!

Wake up!

Get up!

These are all illusions.

Nian'an!

Nian'an!

Wake up!

Wake up.

Wake up!

Nian'an!

Nian'an!

Nian'an!

Nian'an.

Nian'an.

Dad.

Homage

His soul was summoned by the paper figure.

How did we get into this illusion?

The joss paper was a trap.

It must be the smoke from the burning paper that makes us hallucinate.

There are hidden diagrams here.

This is the Diagram of Kun.

This is the Diagram of Qian.

This is the Diagram of Dui.

Homage

This is the Diagram of Xun.

The Diagram of Li.

Li again?

Why are there two diagrams of Li?

I know.

There are eight coffins and seven diagrams.

There are two diagrams of Li.

The Diagram of Li represents fire.

May I borrow your fire?

Cover your mouth and nose, everyone.

I'll burn everything in here.

Since it's an illusion,

we burn the truth out.

Boss.

It's aleady been six rounds.

Are we still searching?

If we can't find a way out,

we'll all die here.

What should we do?

Go!

Go!

Go!

Homage

What's that sound?

Move!

Let me!

Help me!

Help me!

Dad!

I have to get out of here.

I can't die here.

I can't die.

I don't want to die.

This thing has weak eyesight.

It can't see us when it's dark.

Don't move.

Why is this place suddenly dark?

Who knows?

It's dark now.

Everyone follow me.

Be careful.

Don't touch them.

Don't touch them.

She's already dead.

It's okay.

Let's go.

Run!

Run!

Move!

Run!

Jump!

Jump!

Be careful.

Dad.

Why is the cave suddenly bright and then dark?

The waterwheel runs according to the current below.

The boards on the wheel are horizontal and vertical.

Two boards are connected and isolated by the horizontal ones.

When the vertical boards get close to the entrance,

they will block all the light.

So the cave will be dark.

When the horizontal ones move to the entrance,

the light will shine into the cave again.

That's why it's suddenly dark and then bright in the cave.

Look!

Thank you.

God is on my side.

There is even a boat for us.

Go to the other side.

Ancient people are very superstitious.

There are rules for building every tomb.

They think people will go to the netherworld after they die.

If they want to return to the mortal world during Tomb-Sweeping Day,

they have to take a ferry to cross the netherworld river

and return to the mortal world.

So they will build a tomb along the river

and a ship next to it.

The corpses and bones are piling up like mountains ahead.

This is a bad omen.

What?

You don't want to treat your daughter?

Aren't you afraid of death?

Life itself is worthless.

Only when you have money will you cherish your life.

Without me,

you won't come with them, right?

Every time you call me "Dad,"

I feel I don't deserve it.

It's been six years.

I didn't know I was a father.

And I didn't even know

your mother was still alive.

Then why did you leave her?

Open the door!

Mr. Ao is the last person you should offend.

Mr. Ao will kill you.

Leave now!

I can't leave you here alone.

Go out and hide.

You can come back

after a few months when he calms down.

Open the door!

Don't worry.

I will always wear your token

and wait for you to come back.

Three months later,

I returned to the town.

But I found that there was a plague.

Most people in the town died because of it.

After that, I searched everywhere,

but I never found your mother.

Nian'an.

Did your mother say anything

when she passed away?

She...

She told me

that I should wear the necklace you gave her and wait for you.

Waiting for you to come back.

What happened to her?

The centipede is poisonous.

The toxin followed the blood to his brain

and caused the mutation.

Come here.

Hurry!

Dad!

Dad!

Dad!

Come back!

Come back!

Dad!

Dad!

There's something in the water.

Pull me up!

Dad!

Hurry!

Dad!

Hurry!

Hurry.

Come up!

You're bitten by her.

Cross the netherworld river, and the spirit returns to heaven

Cross the netherworld river,

and the spirit returns to heaven.

Summoned back to the mortal world, and the dead rise again

Summoned back to the mortal world,

and the dead rise again.

What does these mean?

Summoning

refers to the copper bell.

In ancient times,

the ringing bell was a weapon that connected the Yin and Yang realms.

You mean,

we have to ring the bell when we open the door?

The spirit returns to the mortal world.

The seventh day is crucial.

Legend has it that on the seventh day after death,

the spirit will return home

and bid farewell to their family.

Ring the bell seven times,

and the door should open.

Dad.

This is not like the soul-switching coffin chamber you described.

Uncle Ye.

Did you make all these up?

If I didn't make up a story,

would you help me get the map?

What about the soul-switching?

It's also fake?

So what if the rumor is fake?

The gold we got from the Dragon Pearl must be true.

Dad.

Is this really the Netherworld?

This is just an ancient tomb.

Ancient people believed in feng shui.

Let's use Feng Shui

to break the superstition.

I finally found the Dragon Pearl.

Now that the pearl is found,

how can we get out of here?

The star-domed chamber has the dragon-hunting coffin

at the center of the intertwined paths.

One way intersects with the other.

Take the path bearing south not north,

and go west rather than east.

Which is exactly the right direction?

Go south.

Good.

Who's next?

You're the Bloody Robber.

One person less means

an extra share of money for me.

Don't.

Don't kill me.

I won't ask for anything from you.

As long as you want,

everything will be yours.

So will I.

I'll be yours too.

Do you think you can get out alive

after killing all of us?

Besides us,

there is one more person.

Who is it?

You're not dead.

There is no such thing as a ghost in the world,

not to mention ghost killing.

Why didn't you expose my lie?

I trusted you at first.

But I realized that something was wrong.

When I want to check your body,

Chunling stopped me indirectly.

So I suspect a fake death.

Why did you do that?

We need a new plan.

I'm exposed.

None of these people have a kind heart.

They could only be worse than each other.

Why don't you pretend to be a ghost,

fake your death,

follow our trail,

and then wipe out the enemies.

Since my sister didn't make it to the end,

all of you

will be her companies in the grave.

It's him.

He is the one that killed your sister.

Bastard!

Dad.

Dad.

Dad!

Dad!

Help me.

Did you kill Feng Yuhang too?

When I examine the body,

I found a small shell.

I thought you were undercover for bloody murders.

I didn't expect it was you.

Why weren't you hallucinating?

Because...

Because I already knew.

It's so dangerous down there.

Are you sure about this?

I came fully prepared.

I'm well-informed about

what's going on under there.

Deity Residence

One spot is made of paper.

The fume of joss paper burning on the table

causes hallucinations after getting into a human body.

You have to cover your mouth and nose in advance

to stay conscious.

Homage

Dad.

Dad!

Homage

Dad.

You burn down the paper houses and figures

outside the coffin shop

to give us a stronger implication

that the paper figures come alive.

And you stole our compass.

It's all over.

This is a warning to open the coffin.

It'll be too late if we don't leave now.

Go!

Let go of me.

Let go of me.

Aren't you going to follow me?

Let go of me!

Come back here!

This place is collapsing.

Nian'an.

Nian'an.

Nian'an!

Nian'an, come back here.

Nian'an!

Nian'an!

Nian'an!

Nian'an!

Nian'an!

Dad.

I'm ok.

Nian'an.

I still have the pearl.

Nian'an.

Don't be afraid.

I'll get you out of there.

Nian'an.

I'll get you out of there.

You can go.

I'm not your daughter.

My name is Xiao Qi.

I'm not six.

I'm nine years old.

My family found me sick.

So they abandoned me

in the unmarked graves.

I slept in the coffins

and ate offerings to the dead.

I found the necklace on a woman.

She was holding a pile of paper

Each piece has the same content.

My name is Ye Quan from Lin State looking for my husband Xu Chang'an.

My name is Ye Quan

from Lin State.

I'm looking for my husband.

When I hid in the coffin shop,

I heard that you were called Xu Chang'an.

I sounded you out by luck.

You really are the person she was looking for.

I lied to you.

I was afraid of being alone.

And I was starving.

I know you were lying.

The necklace is not our token of love.

The wooden bangle is.

At that time,

I couldn't afford a necklace.

So I made her the bracelet.

On the boat,

you told me that when your mother died,

she gave you the necklace as our love token.

That's when I know that you are lying.

Then why did you save me?

If I hadn't left her,

our child

would be the same age as you.

You call me dad.

That makes you my child forever.

Let's go.

A Few Days Later

Dad.

Where are we going?

To a big city

to treat your condition.

Sit tight.

Hya!

Dad.

What's in the box?

Have a guess.

It's been so long.

Why haven't you changed your body with him?

Commander.

Let me try again.

Please let me try again.

Get out!

Commander.

Commander, are you alright?

Do you prefer a young man?

Commander,

you are my favorite.

You are the only one I love.

Is this fake?

Nicely played.

You tricked me into taking the circuitous road.

Again and again.

Liu is playing tricks with me.

Are you trying to betray me?

What?

Wasn't that your men who took the gold?

Nonsense!

Beat him up!

Dragon Hunting. Soul Suppressing Coffin

We...

General Liu asked a mortician to open the coffin.

A Few Days Ago

The three brothers are the most experienced tomb robbers.

They have

the tomb construction map.

Before they leave,

they will stay in the West Mountain Inn.

They'll leave after they are fully prepared.

I asked someone to release a prisoner,

and send him a secret letter

to steal the map.

You're the Bloody Robber.

Please...

Of course, I'll kill him

and take the map.
