Han.

Han.

Han.

I know you're a strong girl.

One day,

you will become an explorer.

Don't look for me.

Han.

I love you and Mommy.

Captain.

Do you still believe in the power that is beyond life and death?

Go!

[Lost In Tomb]

[2012]

Go.

Ling Han.

I have some good news today.

Tell me.

What day is it today?

The day we first met at the orphanage.

That's right.

Happy birthday to us.

Happy birthday.

Come on.

Cheers.

Ling Han.

We have a home now!

The orphanage is going to be knocked down tomorrow.

However,

Tiechui has bought it!

We have a home now!

Are you happy?

We're no longer orphans.

Right.

We have our home now!

Come on.

From now on, you're the director.

And I'm the deputy director.

What about me?

You're the cleaner.

Alright then!

Cleaner.

Get your job done quick.

[Orphanage Transfer Contract] We have a loan to pay, okay?

It's alright.

Han just needs to take on a few more endorsements.

The place behind me

is where the famous explorer Ling Han

challenged herself to survive in a cave.

She plans to traverse the entire Yunju Mountain sinkhole.

Ling Han's father...

Ling Han, where are you?

Where is your position?

Come on out!

The journalists and the brands are all here.

This is just a show.

Don't take it too seriously and risk your life.

Hello?

Ling Han.

Say something.

Ling Han.

Ling Han.

In the 1980s,

Ling Han's father, the legendary explorer Ling Wei

set a record of 190 days here.

And Ling Han's goal is 203 days.

Sir, we did it.

Are you alright?

Hongjian.

We must hurry.

I don't have much time left.

Rest assured.

I got Ling Han all set up.

[Emergency]

Why hasn't she come out yet?

Did anything happen to her?

Ling Han is over there!

No matter what the journalists ask,

don't lose your temper.

Please, do me a favor.

Think about the money for the endorsements.

Think about the orphans.

- Miss Ling. - Miss Ling.

As an explorer,

what does expedition mean to you?

What do you think of your father's disappearance

when searching for the City of Mist of Huaxu civilization?

Why have you never mentioned your father in public?

Miss Ling.

Miss Ling, over here.

Miss Ling.

You broke your father's record once again.

Is it out of admiration for him?

Please answer me, Miss Ling.

We are different.

I am not as heartless as he was.

He abandoned his family for success.

Please tell us more, Miss Ling.

Enough.

Ling Han's father went on an expedition, but he didn't go missing.

It was official on the news.

Can you stop asking the same question?

Tell us more please.

Miss Ling.

Miss Ling.

Where are we?

Who are you?

It doesn't matter.

Our boss just wants to make friends with that lady.

Where's our driver?

I sedated him.

He'll wake up soon.

Sorry.

I am so sorry.

I am so sorry.

Who are you then?

Hey, you...

Stop right there.

Sit.

Sit.

Sit down.

Let me introduce myself.

I am Fang Hongjian.

From HZ Biotech Group.

I am very sorry to have invited you here in this way.

Invited us?

You kidnapped us here.

I am sorry.

Very sorry.

We had you here

to explore with us

a historical relic of a civilization lost to time.

Come on.

This way, Miss Ling.

Come with me.

Come on.

Two million yuan.

Just a deposit.

We will pay you the other half after things are done.

Another 1.3 seconds slower.

Fix the elevator, will you?

He's quite scrupulous.

Wait a moment.

Do you want us to explore the ancient relic of civilization?

Or are you tomb raiders?

Let's get this straight first.

We don't do anything illegal.

Tomb raiders are thieves.

We disdain to do such things.

Drop it. Just get to the point.

Miss Ling, you're straightforward. I like it.

Our mission this time

is to search

for what is buried in a sinkhole.

The ancient

civilization.

As long as it's not illegal,

you can search for whatever you like.

Our job is to protect you anyway.

30 years ago,

during a scientific expedition,

at the ruins of the Guge Kingdom in Tibet,

the archaeologists discovered a book fully made of bronze,

on which were inscribed unique characters and symbols.

It sparked widespread interest in the bronze book.

It was later interpreted by the explorer Ling Wei

and is known as Meng Yan Record.

It records the entire history of Huaxu civilization.

So, our goal this time

is to find the ancient ruins that nurtured Huaxu civilization.

City of Mist.

According to Meng Yan Record,

4,600 years ago, Huaxu civilization

once faced a major crisis.

With the mysterious power of the Seven-Color Pansy, 3,000 warriors

created an undead army.

But within a very short time thereafter,

the army, the Seven-Color Pansy, and the entire Huaxu civilization

vanished into the annals of history.

According to our expeditions in recent years,

the Seven-Color Pansy is very likely

related to the tree-like plant on their totem.

Miss Ling Han.

If we can find and harness this power,

it will be a great achievement in the development of human medicine.

Our feat

will be forever recorded in history.

Perfect.

Not interested.

Without enough evidence,

Ling Wei wouldn't have risked his life.

Miss Ling Han.

Let me show you something else.

Six weeks ago, we sent out an expedition team.

Before the last person died,

he sent back this video.

Han, I hope when I come back,

you can play this tune for me.

Okay.

Daddy.

Let's go.

Let's set off.

Miss Ling Han.

Have you ever thought

that back then,

your father

organized this squad

just to save your mother?

Mommy!

Mommy!

Mommy!

Miss Ling Han.

Don't you really want to know

the truth about 20 years ago?

What was your father

looking for?

Han.

Daddy knows you don't know many words.

So

I recorded this tape for you.

I might be away for a long time this time.

Mom is not in good health.

You need to take good care of her for me

and take care of yourself too.

Don't fall behind in your studies.

Besides,

the tune I taught you.

You haven't played the whole piece for me yet.

When I come back,

I will check your work.

Be good.

It's beautiful.

I've been learning from you for 20 years already.

That means something.

You've seen the videotape.

It's very dangerous there.

If you really want to go,

Tiegun and I will go with you.

I won't go.

Something happened.

The little ducks are under the bridge in front of the house.

Why are there only two, four, six, seven and eight?

What about one, three, and five?

One, three, and five

aren't at home.

That won't do.

They must go home.

[Condition: stable]

Sir.

Ling Han is here.

Good.

I still have to say this.

The situation down there is very complicated.

And you're not in good health.

I think

you'd better not go.

The convoy will deliver us to Camp 1 at the entrance of Yunju Sinkhole.

Sanbai.

Report on the advance team's setup.

The camp has been set up.

Mapping inside the cave?

Equipment debugging completed.

Start to map the rear area after arriving at the camp.

After entering the cave, cross the underground river

and pass through the collapsed area quickly.

Then you can reach the supply platform set up by the previous expedition team.

Let me introduce.

Our team leader for this operation,

Miss Ling Han.

Copy. Nice to meet you, Ling Han.

I've heard a lot about you.

Hello, Captain Ling.

I'm not your captain.

Do your best.

Check if it's the same as before.

Put the box here.

Okay.

If you get this close to me again,

I'll break your arm.

You're so fierce.

I really like it.

He's so disgusting.

Is there a problem?

Nothing unusual.

Good.

That's good.

Let's go, brothers!

One, two, three, go.

Slow down. You are carrying so many things.

I need to replenish energy.

Miss Ling.

Your tent is so far away.

That's quite unsafe.

Ling Han.

Come and grab a bite.

Sit here.

Didn't think it'd be so cold in this cave.

You've all worked hard.

It all counts on you now.

Now

I toast you all with tea in place of wine.

- Cheers. - Cheers.

If you ask me,

in this kind of cave,

there must be those large creatures that are beyond your imagination.

Right.

There might also be vampire bats.

In a large swarm.

Ling Han.

Aren't you going to eat something?

You guys go ahead.

You shouldn't have talked about bats.

You've ruined her appetite.

Get up.

I need to pee.

Miss Ling.

What's wrong?

What's wrong, Ling Han?

Someone snapped photos of Ling Han.

This is Zhang's GoPro.

It's really concerning.

Before entering the cave, I saw him eyeing Miss Ling.

I was right. He is up to no good.

I'd say you're the one who is up to no good.

Even if I am,

I'm not interested in you.

Say that again.

I said your wifey isn't fun.

Hear me?

Sanbai.

Let go.

Where's Zhang?

He said he needed to pee.

I didn't see him anywhere.

It is very dangerous to be alone.

Everyone, stay together.

Don't get separated.

Alright. Change of plan.

Let's go in first and take a look.

See if we can find Zhang.

Enter the cave.

Find him.

Stick together. Don't get lost.

Zhang has no equipment down here.

Hypothermia can kill him.

I'll cast a divination.

Listen. There's the sound of water.

Are we close to the underground river?

Water nurtures wood.

Wood signifies lesser Yang.

Zhang should be fine.

I think

something is following us.

Don't scare yourself.

We didn't deceive you, did we?

It looks like someone has been here before.

Look at this outfit.

What does 'PB' mean?

PB stands for the expedition team that was founded

by the famous explorer Mr. Ling Wei.

And this Mr. Ling Wei

is Miss Ling Han's

father.

Wait a second.

You didn't tell us there would be any danger.

That's terrifying.

Right.

Everyone, please stay calm.

Their equipment was rather primitive back then.

Your equipment is very advanced.

And you all are professionals.

There's nothing to worry about.

This is too scary.

It's a bad omen to encounter a body at the beginning.

Fang, tell you what.

You have to pay us more for this.

A corpse. There's a corpse!

A dead man!

Isn't this Zhang?

It's him.

This wound

might be a bite mark from an animal.

What has the thermal sensor detected?

Didn't you say there were no problems?

Stop yelling at me!

What if it's something even thermal sensors can't detect?

You are liars.

Charlatans, all of you.

How is that possible?

You guys better leave.

Expedition is not a joke.

Without professional expedition experience,

you could die here.

We don't want the money anymore.

Let's go.

Miss Ling is right.

Those amateurs don't need to stay.

Just tell them already.

No, we're not professionals.

We will pay you

five times what we agreed before.

Think twice.

You might die here.

Be sharp and act smart!

I am not a doctor.

I'm leaving.

I am not a Taoist.

Hurry up, move it!

My life is important.

Ten times.

Ten times?

Man.

I think it's not about money.

Let's go.

We can't just leave. Let's do this.

Let's go.

Great.

You can leave.

It's just

you must be careful

on the way back.

Let's go back.

The baby is on the way.

We need the money.

Keep up!

Don't waste time!

Why are you sitting down?

My shoes don't fit.

Come in.

Did you see Miss Ling?

No.

Where did she go?

She went over there.

Hey, wait.

She went that way.

Ling Han is missing.

What are we still doing here?

Let's just leave.

Everyone.

You have already wasted too much time.

Besides,

without Ling Han,

you don't know what to do?

We spent a lot to hire you

not just for moral support.

Mind your attitude.

It's fine.

Calm down.

Let me show you what I've got.

You brat.

Qian hexagram has three links. Heaven opens in the northwest.

Kun hexagram has six segments. The land severed in the southwest.

Dui hexagram is separated above. The marshes set in the west.

Xun hexagram is separated below. No wind in the southeast.

This is the Gate of Life.

I don't believe you. Let's go.

That is the Gate of Death.

You guys don't believe me, really?

This is the Gate of Life.

Gate of Life.

Bro, I think what you said makes sense. Thumb up for you.

I'll read your fortune if you want.

Let's go.

Let's go by ourselves.

Six.

Hey.

I am here to protect you.

Scram.

If you had stabbed me just now,

wouldn't I have died in your hands?

Ling Han.

Man down. Can you hear me?

Ling Han.

Ling Han.

Help!

I saw it just now.

This thing is blind.

But its hearing is sharp.

It looks quite like a human.

Let me give you a hand.

Shh.

I have a question.

Which one's scarier, me or the monster?

Following me is the right choice, right?

These monsters can't see, but they have good hearing.

Shut up.

Let her go first.

How do we get across?

Run this way.

Run!

Throw stones at the cave wall!

Sir, let's go.

Hurry, there's a stone door here!

How do we open this?

Now none of your skills

is actually helpful!

Get it open.

What's the point of rambling now?

There must be some mechanism.

Where is it?

What are you doing?

Where's Six?

Help me!

Six!

They are afraid of fire.

Light the flares.

They are afraid of bright light.

Get out of the way.

Move.

Be gone.

Over here.

Back.

Step back.

Get out of the way.

We're running out of flares.

Think of something.

Peach.

Ling Han.

The floor is sinking.

The stone door has opened.

Rush over there!

Ling Han!

Why are you here?

Only the three of us together made a family.

Why didn't you take me with you?

Come on, follow me closely.

Okay.

No, we're out of gas.

You animals.

Come on.

Come on.

The door is open. Hurry up.

Go, Peach.

Go.

Let's go.

Go.

Let's go.

Go.

Tiegun!

Tiegun!

Tiegun, come here.

Come here.

Come here, this way.

Girls.

Wait a moment, please.

Pull me up first.

Okay?

The fog is so heavy.

This...

This is the City of Mist.

Starry blue glows.

The city shrouded in mist.

Who would have thought

there's such a vast jungle underground?

Why are there so many sarcophagi here?

Don't touch it.

Come on.

Follow Ling Han.

I'm a bit scared.

If this really is the City of Mist,

these sarcophagi must be thousands of years old.

But they are still so well preserved.

It has to do with the humidity here.

Why is this sarcophagus standing upright?

Is it because the one inside...

Are you crazy?

Move.

Fine.

The style of the stone carvings indeed symbolizes Huaxu civilization.

Give it to me.

The symbols on this stele.

They look so familiar.

Your father

really came down here.

Isn't this

from that bronze book?

Incredible.

I knew it.

I hired the right people.

Come on.

Help me hold this.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Your flamethrower was a big help.

However,

I hope from now on,

you stay close to us.

Sir.

It looks like we've found it.

This is the Seven-Color Pansy.

This is it.

This is it.

I've finally found you.

Hongjian.

We've found it.

We made it!

We can save Qing's life!

Thank you.

Thank you all for your efforts.

The reward we promised

will be paid on time.

So many people have died.

Are you heartless?

Once upon a time,

there was a young boy.

At 13 years old, he was exceptionally admitted

into the top medical university in the country.

He had always been called a genius since little.

But

he was very lonely

because no one understood him.

And one day,

the boy met a top medical expert in the industry.

He understood the boy.

Hongjian.

He let the boy master more knowledge

and conduct bolder experiments.

He told the boy

to hypothesize boldly and verify carefully.

He has always been a giant to the boy.

The boy believed in him.

But the expert changed.

Oh, sir.

I wanted to give you another chance.

But you just looked at it

and rashly jumped to conclusions,

claiming it could transcend life and death.

You haven't even conducted any experiments yet.

You didn't care about scientific rigor long ago.

It's all because of Qing, right?

She should die!

In this world,

there are many fathers who love their daughters.

But there are

very few great scientists like you.

Can you please stop being so stubborn?

You can't do this to me.

I am your mentor!

Do you know why the Seven-Color Pansy hasn't bloomed yet?

That's because

it's the sacred relic guarded by the Huaxu clan,

which requires human blood to awaken.

Come over here!

Help me!

Money.

Hongjian, what are you doing?

You taught me

to hypothesize boldly

and verify carefully.

Let's do this experiment

and witness

your so-called power that transcends life and death.

For this experiment,

you could even hurt your mentor.

How despicable.

He was the one who deceived me first.

He wasted more than 20 years of my life.

This ignorant man.

He violates science.

He betrayed my faith

and even attempted to transcend life and death.

Well.

Ancient bacteria can cause mutations in living organisms.

That's also quite interesting.

So

I still need a large number of living subjects to verify this.

He's gone mad. Let's get out of here.

No one is allowed to leave!

We sacrifice ourselves for the sake of scientific achievements.

Our deaths

are noble.

Everyone, follow me back the way we came.

He's catching up.

He's behind us.

Help.

Catch it.

Ling Han.

March 16th.

I had a dream.

In the dream, Han reached out to me, saying she would take me away.

After I woke up,

we found the exit pretty quick.

Han truly is my lucky star.

July 25th.

After several failures,

I finally pinned my hopes on this cave.

Even though the secrets of Huaxu civilization

remain mostly a mystery to me,

I am out of time.

Her illness cannot afford to wait.

I must try.

It's my last hope.

Burn, you beast.

Don't.

Step aside.

No way.

Leave him to me.

I'll take responsibility.

With what?

Step aside.

Calm down.

Are you all insane?

If he doesn't die, we will.

He is my father!

Go!

This way!

Hurry up!

Come on!

Hurry up!

Danyang!

Ling Han!

Get my wife out!

She's pregnant!

Hurry up!

Danyang!

Go!

Go!

Hurry up!

No!

No!

Go!

This way.

Don't worry. I'll go have a look.

It's alright.

Don't worry.

How is it?

All quiet.

Tiechui.

Do you remember when I first came to the orphanage?

Do you remember?

Yeah.

You gave me a lollipop.

Back then, everyone called me dirty kid

because I had no name.

You said you were Tiechui.

Without a second thought,

I said you could call me Tiegun.

And that name stuck with me for so many years.

Tiegun.

What are you doing?

Listen to me, Tiechui.

This world

can be without me,

but it can't be without you.

Tiechui.

Ling Han.

She loves having people around.

Please keep her accompany.

Tiechui.

Take care of yourself.

Be well.

Tiegun!

Tiegun!

Tiegun!

Tiechui.

I like you.

I really like you.

Tiegun!

Tiechui.

I like you.

Tiechui, I like you!

Tiechui.

I like...

Let's go!

Only two oxygen tanks left.

You two take them.

Leave.

Tiechui.

What are you doing?

What are you doing?

You are pregnant.

Think about the baby.

Go!

What about you if I leave?

It's okay.

Go!

Ling Han.

Leave.

You can escape on your own.

Don't worry about me.

No.

I will become a monster like your father.

Right?

Ling Han.

Ling Han.

I bought the orphanage with a loan.

Ling Han.

We have a home now!

We have a home now!

Are you happy?

We need 20 years to pay off the loan.

After you get out,

make more money

and run the orphanage well.

Make a home for those orphans like us.

So

Our home will be in your hands, okay?

No.

There's no time left.

I have to find Tiegun.

Tiechui.

I have to go find Tiegun.

Wait for me here.

Wait for me here.

I will find him and we'll get out of here.

Okay?

Okay?

I will be back.

The tune I taught you.

You haven't played the whole piece for me yet.

When I come back,

I will check your work.

Daddy.

This song is beautiful.

Who taught this to you?

Dad learned it from Meng Yan Record.

This story

happened a long time ago.

There was an ancient tribe called Huaxu.

The warriors of Huaxu faced formidable enemies.

4,600 years ago,

to protect their families,

they fought with the courage born of desperation.

This is the lullaby their loved ones called out to them.

Daddy.

What is a lullaby?

You don't know what a lullaby is?

A lullaby is

a group of ducks swimming under the bridge in front of the house.

Ling Han.

Why do you keep playing this tune?

Because I have an appointment

with my father.

Han.

You can do it.

Raise the bow.

Don't be afraid.

Look at my gesture.

Once I put down my hands,

shoot.

Understand?

I got it.

Han,

you must remember.

Love

is the only power that transcends life and death.

Daddy.

I've learned it.

Time to eat.

Time to eat.

Let's eat.

Coming!

Come on.

You must be hungry too, baby.

Let's sing a nursery rhyme, okay?

Okay.

Ready, go.

Under the bridge in front of the house,

a flock of ducks swim by.

Come quickly, let's count them.

Two, four, six, seven, eight.

Quack, quack.

There are so many of them.

I lost count of how many there are.

How many ducks are there?
