=Candle in the Tomb: The Worm Valley=

=Episode 07=

One, two, three!

Do you guys remember

the trees with the hanging ox heads at the entrance to the village?

If they are indeed descendants of the ancient Dian Kingdom,

all traditions are connected.

So cows most probably

serve as a crucial totem for them.

Ancient people

worshiped stars.

I'm thinking if the Ox mansion in the Twenty-Eight Mansions

carries a special meaning

for them.

Are you trying to use Tianxing Feng Shui

to determine the direction?

One, two, three!

The Ox represents Chou in the Earthly Branches.

That's northeast.

If it's not wrong,

the first thing we have to turn

is the toad at northeast.

Which one?

That one.

Hu, where do I turn it to?

Dragons surround the mountain and make up the nine curves.

Each curve winding in nine loops.

Nine turns within nine loops.

Flowing into the Soul Mountain.

Zhen to the east. [*Zhen, one of the eight trigrams, means Arousing]

Turn it to your back.

It's correct!

Dui to the west. [*Dui, one of the eight trigrams, means Open]

Over there.

One, two, three!

Hu!

We only have one more to go!

One, two, three!

Carry on! The door is about to break!

Xun to the southeast. [*Xun, one of the eight trigrams, means Ground]

Hu, you are amazing.

There really is a door here.

Don't worry.

Even if they break in,

they don't know what your father is.

They won't do anything.

When we find the Fowl-dust Orb,

you and I together...

will bring him back with us.

Hu, hurry up!

Let's go.

One, two, three!

It's opened!

Where are they?

Where could they be?

Where are they?

Where did they go?

Hurry! Look for them.

Where did they go?

Patriarch!

There's no one over here!

Uncle, we've searched the place.

This place is connected to the mountain

with no other exits.

Also,

we found a skeleton.

There's nothing else except that.

No other exits?

Where did they go?

Look again.

See if there are any secret passages.

Yes.

Patriarch!

I found something.

Let's have a look.

Come on.

There's a stone door here.

Uncle, let's break it open.

That's impossible.

Start digging to place the explosives.

Yes.

Come on.

It's pitch-black here.

What are these?

I can't believe

King Xian built

such an enormous burial pit in the Worm Valley.

Burial pit?

So these things

were meant to be buried with the dead?

No wonder there are so many treasures.

Hu.

Just grab one of these things

and it's enough to buy an imported Jeep, doesn't it?

Fatty.

We talked about this before coming here.

I know.

I'm just saying.

Using my imagination.

Don't forget.

We are people of principles.

We have our boundary.

For his liking alone,

massive constructions were built and his people suffered.

In the end, he's nothing but bones now.

So ridiculous.

Yes.

Say,

Dian Kingdom was just a small nation on the southern border.

It's about the size of a county

and King Xian at most equals the leader of a county.

A small fry like him

made such a big fuss.

It's way too much.

That's because

you are looking at history from a modern perspective.

In ancient times,

this is a symbol of his ruling power.

If those emperors

thought as we do now,

there would be

no tomb raiders.

You're right.

This place is wet and damp.

There must be an underground river.

King Xian

knew a thing or two about Feng Shui.

Why did he choose such a place?

Hu.

Are you a prophet or what?

There really is a river.

A very long one.

We can't see the end.

Well,

don't tell me this be the only path

and no other.

It's better than having many routes

without knowing where they lead to.

No matter what,

we are going into the water for sure.

Cousin.

You get some rest. I'll do it.

I'm okay.

You are injured. You should rest instead.

I'm getting better. It's fine.

I will catch them myself.

Even if it's for your eye.

Here.

Thank you.

How great is it to have a lady on our team!

Detail-oriented.

Look. You even have waterproof covers.

Attentive.

Hu.

I have this strange feeling.

I feel like something is following us.

What trick are you trying to pull again?

I am not.

I promise.

You can't judge someone for their past.

Chief Yang.

They say women have a sensitive sixth sense.

Do you feel anything?

A woman's sixth sense

is usually for relationship problems.

No.

Borrow a bit of your sixth sense

from your relationship issues

and feel it.

I'll try.

Do you feel it?

No.

I'm not lying. I really think something is behind...

You are scared.

I'm not.

You're definitely scared.

I'm really not.

When a person is trying hard to deny

that he is being scared,

he definitely is.

Two negatives make a positive.

You're making things up.

When one can't convince the other

in an argument,

he will say that the other person is making things up.

I'll keep my mouth shut.

Hu.

She is mean to me.

Did you hear that?

Just get used to it.

Listen.

Do you know what came to my mind

in that instant?

A ghost.

Who were you calling a ghost?

I didn't mean you.

I mean

the water ghost

that we saw before.

How many years has it been?

It's ancient history, OK?

Why did you bring that up?

You two saw a water ghost before?

For real?

Look.

Chief Yang doesn't believe it.

You should tell her.

Talk about a water ghost while we are in the water?

Chief Yang is going to be terrified.

You're right.

If you are scared,

we'll keep it to ourselves.

Stop going along with him.

Just spit it out.

Do you think you can scare me?

Many years ago,

Fatty and I

were just teenagers.

That summer

was blazing hot.

In the afternoon of the hottest day...

Hu Ba Yi.

I dare you to go into the water.

We don't know how deep the water is.

Let's not go down.

Fatty.

Have you become a scaredy-cat

after being hit with a brick?

What did you say?

Fatty.

Fatty was hit with a brick

and he missed school for a week.

Hu Ba Yi, you were so terrified

that you went missing for a week.

Both of you

are cowards.

I won't hear one more word of that!

It's just going down the water.

You guys,

I will show you

a fast swimmer in action.

Fatty.

Can you stop provoking him?

See? Ma Guo Qing.

I dare you to come down!

Let's go, buddies.

Come here!

Come on.

Hu Ba Yi, come down!

Hu Ba Yi, come down! Hu Ba Yi!

Get down here!

Kid, it's so hot today.

Why don't you swim in the river with them?

Madam.

Is the water deep?

Do people usually swim in here?

The water is not deep.

My grandson swims in this river every day.

He doesn't even want to come out.

Really?

Yes.

Hu Ba Yi!

Stop spacing out. Come down!

Come on.

That's right. Get down here!

Hu Ba Yi!

Hu Ba Yi.

What are you staring at?

Why are you spacing out?

Come on. It's fun in the river. Hurry.

Come down, Fatty!

Hu Ba Yi!

Hu Ba Yi, this is fun!

Hu Ba Yi.

Ma Guo Qing!

Ma Guo Qing!

What is it?

Fatty!

Fatty!

Fatty!

Ma Guo Qing, darn it!

Don't go!

Don't go! Darn it.

Ma Guo Qing, just you wait!

Buddies.

Come with me to the deeper area.

Ma Guo Qing, stop right there!

Let's go back.

We should go back.

That's boring.

Let's swim a few more rounds. Go.

Let's go back. Stop messing around.

Just stay a while more. It won't take long.

Hurry. Let's go.

It's not easy that we get to play.

What were you looking at?

I saw a granny.

A granny?

It's just us here. You were mistaken.

Really?

Ma Guo Qing, come back soon!

Bye.

Why wouldn't you listen?

Why is there another skeleton?

You don't know?

The boy's corpse

was entangled by the weeds down the lake.

When they picked up his body,

they found another skeleton.

The strange thing is

that the skeleton got caught in the weeds, too.

The boy's ankle was so tightly grabbed.

Look.

There are hand marks on his leg.

Who's that skeleton?

Two years ago,

a boy went swimming in the river

and never came back up.

Even his body was missing.

His grandmother took it really hard

and waited for her grandson by the river every day.

It's heartbreaking.

Last year, the granny

hung herself on this tree.

I guess

that skeleton

belongs to that young boy.

So devastating.

That's right.

The incident sparked up a big controversy.

Many said

that Ma Guo Qing was killed by the water ghost.

But the truth is

that he was just unlucky.

His leg was entangled by the weeds.

Listen.

There's no such thing as a water ghost.

But I don't know

what really happened.

But you see,

how could there be such a coincidence?

Hu.

This cave is huge.

Don't you think

this cave's shape

is like an upside-down bottle gourd?

Bottle gourd?

The entrance

should be the opening of the bottle gourd.

It was narrow.

That lake we passed by

might be the smaller part of the bottle gourd.

Moving forward,

it will be its bottom part.

The cave behind us

might be its waist.

You're right.

It really looks like a bottle gourd.

I was just wondering

why the statue in the mountain deity shrine

holds a bottle gourd in its hand.

So this is why.

Be it a bottle gourd or a watermelon.

We should get going now.

Look at the path.

We still have a long way to go.

Here.

Get more bamboo sticks here.

Patriarch.

Ze Wa is incredible.

He takes the lead in everything.

Look.

He's good at doing everything.

If Ze Wa becomes the patriarch,

it will be a blessing for us.

He's still young

and inexperienced.

It's useless

to only work without thinking.

In the future,

he will need all of your assistance.

Get some rest

and eat something.

Okay.

Let's take a break.

Ze Wa.

Carry on.

Father.

The wall is thick

but we will break it open today.

Ze Wa, do you know

why I risk my life

to chase after them?

You want to catch the three outsiders

so they don't steal our treasures

with trickery.

Father,

this is a chance for me to prove myself

so that our people will look up to me.

Legend says that there are treasures in the Worm Valley.

Our people who went for the treasures

never came back.

The Worm Valley is full of danger.

But if you can lead everyone

to the treasures,

the position is in your pocket.

You must remember

even if you can't find the treasures,

you mustn't let the outsiders take them.

You must catch the three of them.

Only then,

the treasures will be yours.

You must

think everything through.

These people don't talk much

but they are all watching you closely.

Don't worry, Father.

I will have them

choose me to be the patriarch willingly.

The patriarch is here.

Uncle, we blasted a hole.

Let's go. Follow closely.

Let's go. Take a look.

It's dark in there.

Where does it lead to?

Uncle.

Does the mountain deity really live here?

Hu.

What's wrong?

Look. What is that?

Gosh. That's a ghost.

It might be a "de-bo-float".

Why is it glowing?

What is a "de-bo-float"?

A dead body floating in the water.

It looks like

a dead female body.
