=Episode 11=

Chief Yang.

Do you feel like

we've seen this thing somewhere before?

It does look familiar.

Hu.

Do you remember the creatures we saw by the water

that look like de-bo-floats?

There was some kind of parasite living inside those bodies.

Could these be those worms?

But why

do they have human-like forms?

Seems like it.

I didn't expect them to turn out so big and aggressive.

Could this be some kind of Tengshu

from the ancient Dian Kingdom?

The geomorphology of the Bottle Gourd Cave is complex.

They suddenly grew so large.

It might

have something to do

with the radioactive ores inside the cave

that caused a rapid mutation in them.

But there's one thing I can't figure out.

These worms

were living

inside those de-bo-floats.

Why did they come out all of a sudden?

It might be

because of the giant worm we killed.

That is possible.

It'll be troublesome then.

There were a lot more de-bo-floats inside the Bottle Gourd Cave.

If all of these things

come out from those de-bo-floats,

it'll be tough for us on our way back.

Besides, there must have been

some secret passages connecting the Bottle Gourd Cave to this palace.

Otherwise, it wouldn't be possible for so many of them to show up here.

We should leave this place right away.

But where exactly

is King Xian's underground palace?

This place sure is high.

Hu, why are you looking down?

Hurry up and think.

Where is King Xian's underground palace?

In the Feng Shui Scrolls, it reads

"Look for water before mountains.

If you see a mountain but no water, do not look for the land".

Mountains and water are yin and yang.

A mountain without water

does not make a dragon's vein.

Water and mountains are tightly connected as yin and yang.

"If you find water between two mountains,

the mountains and the water shall meet, and a dragon will descend and rest here".

So I think this place

is of the feature

"water between two mountains", which suits the feng shui requirement for an Emperor's Cave.

King Xian's underground palace

should be under the deep pond.

Under the deep pond?

Impossible.

It's water in the pond.

If the tomb were under the water, it would have been completely submerged.

I remembered something.

When I fell into the water and tried to swim back up,

I saw a hole deep under the water.

I thought it was strange.

But I didn't think too much about it.

Now that I'm standing here

and

with the analysis based on the Sixteen-character Feng Shui Scrolls,

I think

that hole

is the entrance to the underground palace.

Are you sure?

No.

Since when do we act only

when we're a hundred percent sure?

This is called "learning as you go".

Right.

As the old saying goes,

"Either the east wind prevails

or the west wind prevails."

We can't be defeated

by King Xian's tricks.

I think we should go into the water and check it out.

We have to try no matter what.

Right. We have to give it a try.

What about them?

I'm worried

if they go back on their own.

There are a lot of de-bo-floats

inside the Bottle Gourd Cave.

Do you mean to have them

wait for us to come back and we leave together?

They only came to the Worm Valley because of us.

The patriarch's dying wish

was for everyone to get out of here alive.

I understand.

Fatty!

What are you doing?

Nothing.

What are you muttering about?

Did I say something just now?

I didn't.

Come on.

Don't worry, everyone.

As long as we stick together,

we'll be able to return to the village alive.

Da.

We need to keep looking for the medicine.

It's a matter of life and death.

If we can't find it,

we will die anyway.

Will you guys be able to find it

with just the three of you?

Do you need my help?

How did it go?

That Zha Long guy

says that it's not safe for them to go back on their own,

so he insists on coming along with us.

Something's wrong with Fatty.

He keeps mumbling to himself for no reason.

Go and check on him.

Is that so?

What's wrong with him?

He must be numb from the tiredness.

What are you doing?

What was that? You scared me.

You got a scare from that?

Let me ask you something.

What exactly was inside

that rag doll you burned?

Nothing much.

It was just a rag doll with a mask

which was covered by a hood.

I searched it, and there was nothing inside it.

But that thing

does give you the jitters when you look at it up close.

Then why was it cackling?

Cackling?

I think

maybe there was a whistle or something in its belly.

Go ahead with your business.

What's wrong with me?

Was it something that I ate?

Careful, guys.

Don't rush.

Watch out for the rocks on the path.

Move.

We can't move fast even if we wanted to.

What are you giggling about?

Come on.

Come.

Be careful.

Come on.

Zha Long.

Da,

do you really think they're here for the medicine?

That's their business.

It's none of my concern.

Have you ever thought

about where Zhelong Mountain's treasures are hidden?

No.

Hu,

I still think something is wrong with Fatty.

What?

Are you still worried?

That's easy.

We'll know once we test it out.

Come on.

Turn around.

Why?

Why are you asking so many questions? Just do as I say.

What is the matter with you, Hu Ba Yi?

Why did you throw rice on me?

Did you think

I was possessed?

No.

You touched that ominous puppet just now, didn't you?

That thing is inauspicious.

I'm just helping you get rid of that bad luck.

Don't mistake a kind gesture for something else.

Move on now.

What do you think?

Stop believing in all that nonsense.

I'm telling you

there must be some kind of logic in it

for the founders to leave these things to us.

Fatty looks fine.

You can rest assured now.

No...

How did this become my fault?

Get back here.

What is this place?

Hu.

What's that in the sky?

Brother Hu.

What's going on in the sky?

This phenomenon is recorded in ancient feng shui scripts.

"Something black connected the earth and the sky."

It's called "the black pig crossing the river of heaven".

While according to feng shui astrology,

it's called "the marquis of rain invading the sky".

Don't worry, everyone.

This is just a normal weather change.

There might be a heavy downpour later.

I remember reading this in the "Bamboo Earth Qi Theory".

If you see "the black pig crossing the river of heaven",

it means there must be ancient spirits haunting this area.

The yin energy from the corpses is clashing with the yang energy.

It looks like we're at the right place.

How is it?

Da.

You guys rest on the shore.

Brother Hu,

are you sure you don't need me to go with you?

No, thanks. Don't worry about us.

Da.

Protect your tribe members and yourself.

If...

If we don't come back by night,

take them back to the village with you.

If you guys don't return by nightfall,

I'll go and look for you.

You don't have to do that.

That place under the water isn't somewhere you should go.

Watch out for that Zha Long guy.

Here. Eat.

All right.

When I fell into the water,

I took a look around the terrain under the water.

That entrance

should be about 20 degrees left

from our current location.

It's not far from here.

Could that be the tomb passage?

If the entire underground palace is submerged in water,

we won't be able to last long,

seeing as we didn't bring any oxygen tanks.

I think King Xian's tomb

wouldn't be something plain at sight

but in the shape of a quadrangle dwelling

or a number sign.

Even if the tomb passage is completely submerged in water,

the underground palace must be

in an enclosed environment.

I hope so.

Let's go.

What are you doing?

Hurry up.

Are they going to stay underwater the entire time?

What are you doing?

Get up.

Don't dawdle.

We're finally here.

It looks well-preserved.

These statues

must act as a deterrent of sorts.

Come on. Let's take a look over there.

Hu.

How did

King Xian manage

to build such a large palace underwater?

It makes one wonder indeed.

I think he must have cut off the water veins to the Worm Valley

before the construction began

and dug from the bottom of the lake towards the mountain.

It's a huge project.

Fatty.

What are you doing?

Fatty.

Are you nuts?

What on earth are you doing?

Fatty!

Fatty!

What's going on with you guys?

Fatty!

Fatty!

Hu,

what's going on with Fatty?

I don't know.

He has been acting weird since we left the Heavenly Palace.

The rag doll

must have done something to him.

What is that?

It looks like a piece of ancient jade.

Jade?

He didn't get possessed, did he?

Stop the creepy cackle!

I'm telling you, I've got the peach wood nail with me!

I think he wants to tell us something.

He can't control himself.

What in the world is going on?

This fool has taken something again.

Didn't I tell you

not to simply take anything?

Chief Yang,

inspect the jade and find out what it is.

Hu!

Oh, dang it.

Be careful!

Fatty!

Stop hiding.

Come out now!

Listen up.

The party's policy

towards misled youths

has always been one of leniency.

If you come out now,

we'll let you off the hook

for everything wrong that you've done.

Did you hear me?

Wang Kai Xuan!

Come out!

Goodness.

He really has been possessed.

You don't care what you're chewing at all, do you?

Aren't you worried that you'll get poisoned?

Fatty.

Fatty.

Fatty.

This guy

actually has been possessed.

He bit everything he got his hands on.

Thank goodness you weren't bitten, Chief Yang.

Otherwise, he would've gotten lucky.

Is that what you were worried about?

What exactly is this thing?

It's a special type of jade.

But I think there is some kind of poison on it.

That's what caused Fatty to go crazy.

Well, then he deserves it.

Trying to sneak something out of here.

He deserves the hard lesson.

I did some research before we came.

The ancient Dian Kingdom had a kind of Tongue Poison

that could delude one's mind

and control their voices.

I believe

Fatty was poisoned by Tongue Poison.

It's basically a drug

that causes hallucinations.

Got it.

That was quite a fall I took.

What are you doing?

Blind Chen said

if someone is possessed, you have to slap them hard.

I'll slap him awake.

Putting the question of the effectiveness of your folk remedy aside,

even if you manage to wake him up,

would that be able to cure him?

Cure him?

What ideas do you have then?

What is this?

Northern Emperor's Pearl.

A type of niter.

Its smell

can stimulate one's brain

and wake one up quickly.

This might be able to relieve his condition.

Pungent.

Let me give it a try.

It worked well.

I guess the niter doesn't work on him.

You should try your folk remedy.

All right.

A good slap works the best, after all.

I'm awake.

I am.

My body aches here and there.

Did I have a dream just now?

A dream?

Were you chewing on roasted pig trotters in your dream?

R... Roasted pig trotters?

Many are left over there.

So disgusting.

Now,

come clean, or else...

Be honest.

Where did you get that thing?

What thing?

I don't know.

I think he is still not thinking clearly.

Give me that thing again.

Here.

No, no, no.

I remember it now.

Well,

I climbed up there

to burn the rag doll, right?

I spent so much effort

to get up there.

That rag doll looked really creepy up close.

I was afraid,

but at that time,

a thought came into my mind.

Guess who I thought of?

I thought of you guys.

If anything happened to me, who would protect you guys?

Then, another thought occurred to me.

"It was just a rag doll, isn't it?

What do I have to be afraid of?

Don't give me that nonsense.

Get to the point.

After that,

I made a decision

and decided to open it up.
