【ENG SUB】Veil of Chu: Secrets of the Ancient Tomb | Action/Adventure | YOUKU
In the tenth year
of Emperor You of Chu’s reign, the Emperor passed away on the fourteenth day of the third month. In the ninth month of the same year,
he was laid to rest in the mausoleum. Alas, how sorrowful. The nation honors Emperor You of Chu. Alas, We grieve for His Majesty, whose reign brought prosperity
through tireless governance and compassion. A truly virtuous monarch. My son guarded this land for the nation. His valor shines as heaven’s light. Gentle yet strong. It will endure for eternity! Your Majesty. It’s an eclipse. The Dubhe star strikes thunder
without rain. The coffin weeps blood. Our nation’s fate now wanes. Grand Priest, what should we do? His Majesty must be interred
with all haste, entombed vertically and guarded by our clan’s treasure,
the Eye of Luminous Deer, to ensure eternal peace. Your Majesty, something’s wrong! His Majesty’s coffin… It is… It’s bleeding! The Eye of Luminous Deer concentrate the essence
of heaven and earth. Not only shall it preserve
His Majesty’s body for generations but also stabilize the dragon veins to consolidate the royal fortune and ensure lasting prosperity. By this dragon energy, the Chu royal lineage shall prosper eternally. Outrageous! Fortune endures unceasingly. If that is so, Grand Priest, please proceed with the burial at once. There’s a black cat on the coffin. Souls are hunted, lives claimed. Yin and Yang stand inverted. The corpse stirs to unholy life! The corpse stirs to unholy life! Hurry up! Quick! The Soul-Suppressing Nail! Ah! Ah! [Veil of Chu] Only a shrill cry of despair
could be heard. Haha. If you want to find out more… Haha. – Just tell us.
– Tell us. Come on. Don’t keep us hanging. Here. Haha. – Tch!
– Tch! The story must be fake. Let’s leave. [Seeing Things as Usual]
Let’s go. See? You… Oh, shut up. Take it back. Go home to your mother. Old man, were you trying to take a kid’s money? Have you no shame? We’re here for real business. Look at you. You were actually listening to stories. Heh. Since we’re here, you know… Let’s go now. He’s a conman. Tch. “Clouds lifted,
yet the ancient path was unseen. In the fog, all remain elusive.” Young man, are you here to look for someone? May I ask your name? You can call me Just call me Blind Yang. Mr. Yang. Yes? Do you know where the person I’m looking for is? Seems fate brought you to me. Write a character down, and I’ll divine it for you. Here he goes again with his tricks. He’s probably after money. Haha. Character Divination embodies the wisdom of I Ching’s Bagua and fengshui. If you use it to bluff and swindle people, isn’t that immoral? Haha. Well, well. You seem to know something
about fengshui. Hmph. The secret arts of fengshui embody truly immense depth and wisdom. Just like the Tomb Scout’s skills of seeking
the dragon to claim its treasure, locating the cave
by listening to thunder, and perceiving with keenest sight. And yet, how many can truly grasp its mysteries? [One] This character isn’t the one in your mind. Young man, if you don’t believe me, just leave. No need to test me. What you write reveals your heart. A character takes shape
within a single stroke. Dormant and confined as in the Bagua. Feng! Are you really blind? Fatty. What? Ah! Oh. Oh my. I’m so sorry. I didn’t mean that. Haha. Never mind. No worries. Hehe. Water corresponds to the Abysmal, horse to the Clinging. With both signs, the blessing turns to chaos. At the end of one’s tether. It’s an ominous omen. An ominous omen? Old man, can’t you say anything nice? Isn’t water supposed to bring wealth, and horses bring success? You’re just fooling us. The reading is all wrong. Don’t pay him. Two grown men bullying a blind man. You shouldn’t come
if you’ve got no money. – Are you looking for trouble?
– Stop it. Sir, I’ll pay for their readings. Can you read mine too? Please. Sure. One. This isn’t just “one”. It’s the end of life,
the start of death. It means no return. You’re young, but your fate is harsh. Disaster will befall soon. I’m afraid you won’t escape it. Well, unless… Oh. Master. You’re an expert. Tch. Fatty, mind your own business! I’m not the one saying it. Well, well. Patience. Patience. I haven’t finished yet. Only with the help of a destined one can disaster be avoided. Master, if that destined one never shows up, is she doomed? Fatty. You fatty, I’m going to rip your mouth! Ouch. Ow. Young man, calm down! You’re really hitting me. Move aside! Move! Make way! Ouch! Out of the way! Don’t block the way! This will pay for your reading. What? Pay for our reading? Move! Move aside! Darn it. Hurry. After them! Stop right there! Celestial officials offer blessings with boundless compassion. With the seal in hand, all spirits and immortals must retreat. Having received the Mandate from Heaven, may prosperity endure. Here you are. Have you found that person? No. No. Not in here. No. Give chase! – Over there.
– Over here. Quick! Where? No, no one here. – Where did the person go?
– No idea. Should be nearby. Search carefully. Yes, sir. Go. Let’s move. Hurry up. Get inside. Heh heh. As the saying goes, “no words can express
how grateful I am.” Thank you for your help, but I have to go now. Fatty. Hey. Ow! Ouch! Come on. Give it back to me. Tch. It’s just an amulet. Worth chasing me over? Give it back to me now. Fatty, let’s go. Fatty? Fatty! Hey, this is a coffin home. There’s a local tale that says coffin homes forbid both the living from entering and the dead from being buried. Anyone who enters will be claimed by vengeful ghosts and die a terrible death. There’s no such thing as ghosts. Anyway, humans are more unpredictable. Fatty! Fatty! Fatty! Ah! Rat! There’s a rat! Ah! Rat! The rat is gone. It’s gone. Come down. What are you doing here? Uh, I… I came here to check things out. Ah! – Ah!
– Fatty! [Coffin Home] Fat… Fatty? Fatty? Fatty! Fatty? Ah! Ah! Run! Ah! Fatty! Fatty, it’s me! It’s me. Ah! Ah! Fatty! Fatty. Fatty! – It’s me, Wu Qi.
– Are you all right? Wu? Are you all right? What’s going on? What has happened? You breathed in knockout incense. What? Ew! Ew! We should get out of here. Let’s leave. Come on. Let’s go. Ah! Ah! Tie them up. Come on. Luck’s on my side. Hehe. One dot. Pass. Oh, look at the old man go. Two dots. Pong! Yes. Marshal. Sparrow. I’ll take that. Oh. I’ve won! Oh. Oh. Marshal. I’m exhausted. Marshal, something has happened. I’m enjoying my wedding night. Get lost! Young Lady is in danger! What? Zhenzhen? Ah! Darn it. You useless fool! I’ll shoot you. Please pardon my incompetence. If anything happens to Zhenzhen, you’re dead! Where’s she? Hua… Huayue Parlor. Huayue Parlor? [Huayue Parlor] Hmm. Very good. Nice singing. Hehe. Faster! Quick! Keep up! Enjoying yourself, huh? Hurry up! On the double! What? Ah! Oh. Surround the place! Zhenzhen! Ah? Oh, Marshal Lin. Why the big fuss? I invited Miss Lin over as a guest. Haha. Li, Ya. Untie them. You’re a woman? What do you think? – Aren’t you a fugitive?
– Aren’t you a fugitive? You’re the fugitive. Put the guns down! Darn it. I’m not a gentleman. Hmph. What do you want? Just say it. I’ve heard a lot about you, Marshal. You’re generous and straightforward. Now that I’ve seen you today, you do live up to your reputation. I invited you today for a business deal. Hmph. Darn it. Who do you think you are? Huh? What makes you think
you can make deals with me? Huh? How dare you threaten me
using my daughter. Believe it or not, I’ll shoot you dead! Oh, come on. Ah! Zhenzhen! Young Lady! Ow! Ow! Ouch! Ouch! What did you do to my daughter? Inside her body, there’s a male Gu poison. And the female Gu poison is in mine. Surely, you’ve heard
about the Twin Gu poison. As the name suggests, a male and a female Gu have their fates intertwined. Are you all right? What’s happening? If I die, your daughter will die too. You… If anything bad happens to her,
I’ll kill you! Young Lady, are you all right? Careful. What? This… This is strange. Just a trickery. I thought your gun was sturdier. Turns out it isn’t. Apologies. Your business has nothing to do with us. We’ll be on our way. Fatty, let’s go. The only disciple of Feng Wenshan, Tomb Scout Commander. That’s you, right, Wu Qi? How did you know? Zhenzhen… Your master wrote you a letter. I believe it’s reached you, hasn’t it? Give it back! Don’t you want to know
your master’s whereabouts? What do you want? Excellent. Very well. Outside this town, in the Peaks of Huailing, a treasure lies hidden. I need your tomb scout skills to find it. Of course, I also need Marshal Lin’s army. I hope you all will support me. If we succeed, I’ll tell you where your master is and lift the Twin Gu poison from your daughter. No worries. I won’t shortchange you. All treasure found is yours. You take nothing? What exactly do you want, then? A wise man knows when to choose wisely. Remember. If you work with me, don’t ask too many questions. We leave at noon tomorrow. Dismissed! Young Lady. Alright. Hurry up! Wu, don’t trust what the wicked woman said. This is the only clue
to Master’s whereabouts. I have no other choice. Haha. Zhenzhen, I got you a lucky charm. Look at it. Look. It keeps you safe from harm. Take it. I don’t want it. Give it to your concubines. I have the one Mother gave me. Hey. Be careful. You always make me worry. Marshal, Young Lady will understand you one day. Think of a way to get the antidote and save her life. As for Hongling, I don’t want to see her again. Understood, sir. According to
the Art of Heaven and Earth Satchel, the twenty-four stars correspond to different geographies
of the land. There are benevolent or cursed stars, as well as auspicious
or ominous terrains. Every land of fortune must align with the Sun, Moon,
and stars. There are twenty-four hours in a day, twenty-four constellations in the sky, and twenty-four solar terms in a year. Thus, fengshui
matters twenty-four directions. Remove the head, keep the tail, and take the center. That’s where the entrance lies. But it’s daytime now. You can’t see any stars. Just because you can’t see them
doesn’t mean they aren’t here. You… Correct. When the Sun strikes down, the Gui Dragon hides beneath the river, and the stars retreat. Qi gathers in the East and condenses into veins of breath. Where the dragon rests is the cave. [Blessed terrain protected
from both sides,] [guarded by strange rocks.] [Ponds atop the peaks,
flanked on both sides,] [mark the true dragon veins.] The opposite hill is the entrance. Watch your step. Be careful. Slow down. Careful. Slowly. Careful. Keep up. Careful. Ah. Careful. Come on. Wu, are you sure this is the right place? I can’t see anything here. According to my calculation, the entrance should be right across. Darn it! What kind of Tomb Scout Commander
are you? Chanting nonsense spells to trick us. This is the path you found? Hmph. Down there is the entrance
to the other side. Marshal. If you don’t believe me, you’re free to stay. It’s a bottomless pit down there.
Are you kidding me? – You punk…
– Lin. Quiet. I trust him. Whether it’s real or not, we’ll send someone down to find out. Exactly. Why are you getting so worked up? Go ahead, Fugui. Right. Hmm? – Yes.
– Me? It’s dangerous. And you want me to go? You’re indeed wicked. Fatty, just go. Drop your nonsense! Hey. Why must I go? Hey. Hey. There’s plenty of you here. Aren’t they… Fatty. Hmm. Well. I believe in my friend. I’ll go. Hmm. What? Be careful. Jeez, what a friend. I can’t see a thing. Ah! Fatty! Fatty! Fatty, are you okay? My goodness. Fatty! Wu, I’m good. Darn it. Oh! There’s a bridge. I can’t see clearly. Oh, gosh. Wu! It’s safe down here. Slowly. Hey. Look at that. It’s dirt all over. Stay with me. I’ll protect you. Hurry up. Let go! Come on. Are you all right? I’m okay. I’m not okay. I’m scared of heights. You have to take care of me and protect me. Ah. I’m dizzy. I’m dizzy. Be careful! Hey. Marshal, careful. Alright. Be careful, Marshal. Darn it. Where did the hornet come from? Fatty, what the heck is this? Uh, I couldn’t see clearly
in this thick fog. Are you messing with us? Asking for beatings? Drop your pretense. – Shut up!
– You… Where should we go? What’s wrong, Wu? Eleven o’clock. Bats! Watch out! Dodge! Marshal, careful! Quick! Hurry! Marshal, be careful! Use the torches! Use the guns! Behind you, quick! Hurry! Behind! Fatty! Give me a hand. Okay. Fatty! Fatty, come over! Get moving. Okay. Careful. Cross the bridge! Darn it. Protect Young Lady. Hold this. Go! Zhenzhen! Ah! I’m coming! Ah! Come here! Marshal. Ah! Are you all right, darling? As long as you’re safe. Luckily. Hurry up! Get inside the cave, everyone! Now! Move. Quick! Come on! You killed your own people? Where’s your humanity? Humanity, my foot! Huh? Staying alive is humanity. If I hadn’t blown up that wall, you’d all be dead! You! Hey. Wu! Calm down. Calm down. What do you think you’re doing? Huh? He’s my soldier. You’re in no place to boss around! I… Well, Li Chen, can’t you use your brain? We’ve lost our only way out now. I… Hey. Are you done yet? Get moving now. Do you want to die here? Move! This is it. We’re here. My goodness. We finally found it. Darling, you’re saved. Haha! Now we’ve found the gate. Hongling, shouldn’t you lift the poison
from my daughter now? What’s the rush? Once I get what I’m after, I’ll do it. You… And you, Wu Qi. I believe you know how to open the gate, don’t you? We don’t know what dangers
lie beyond this gate. We’ve already lost so many people. You can’t risk everyone’s life just for your own gain. Hmph. Haha. Looks to me like you don’t want to know
where your master is. Hmm? Darn it. What are you trying to do? Huh? We have no way back now! If you won’t open this gate, do you want all of us
to be trapped here? You think you’re the only one who can open this gate? Hey. Try it if you can. Hmph. Good. Good idea. Li Chen! Yes, sir! Take your men and smash this gate! Yes, sir! No! You think everything can be solved
with brute force? Why are you always like that? Go! Don’t blow it up! That’s an artifact! You can’t destroy artifacts! What the heck? If you want your men to die, go ahead! Shoot me! Everyone, calm down. Don’t fight now. Is dragging each other down what you really want, Wu Qi? Lin! Guns down! Let them go first. I have a feeling that she’ll betray us. Take what she says with a grain of salt. I know what I’m doing. My father is like that. I don’t think your master is in danger. Don’t worry too much. Thank you. So, Miss Zhenzhen, do you feel anything different
in your body? No. Are you sure? I’m fine. See? That’s just trickery. Twin Gu poison is probably
just nonsense. This is bad. Watch your step! Ah! Ah! Watch out. What kind of trap is that? Zhenzhen, come here. Go take a look. Go on! Or I’ll shoot you dead! Ah! Step back! Ah! What’s that? Wu Qi, why are you hesitating? If we fall back now, we’ll all die here! I am thinking! Hurry up! Darn it! Another trap? What the heck is this? Isn’t this Bagua? Yes. What’s written on it? Life. Death. They’re ancient Chu script. Three “life” and four “death”. This is the Life and Death Dial. Heaven is the Clinging,
and Earth is the Receptive. We’re underground. We must alight the stone needle – to Receptive.
– There’s no time. Between life and death, choose life! Hold on! Wait! To live is to face death. It should be “death”. One, two, three. It’s open! – Hurry!
– Move. Finally, it’s open. Let’s go. Wu. What are these? They’re burial musicians. Are they humans? That’s insane. This is inhumane. Everyone, stay alert. This place is full of dark energy. Don’t let your guard down. If anything strange happens, stay close to me. Got it. Darling, don’t fall for his sweet talk. Only your father truly cares about you
in this world. You’re safest at my side. I’ll protect you. Just take care of yourself. Hey… Don’t worry, Marshal. This is new. Hehe. Ah! Fatty. What did you take? Me? Nothing. What’s that in your hand? I… Ah! He can’t do anything right. If he touches anything again, chop his arms off. – Yes.
– Yes. Put it back! Alright. Look. Is the mirror moving? I don’t know, Marshal. Wu! Wu! Wu. Wu. Wu. [Tomb Scout Shrine] Master? Master. Kneel down. Master, it’s me. Kneel! Yes, Master. Though the tomb scouts began with tomb raiding, we’re still the descendants of the Chinese nation. We must guard the heritage, uphold justice, and protect the people. Master, I’ll remember this. Stop chasing me! In these troubled times, warlords seized power, and tomb raiders ran rampant. We, the Tomb Scouts, will bow out and retreat into seclusion from this day on. Master, why is that? I made this decision after thinking long and hard. Do you remember the ancestral teachings? As per the ancestral teachings, we must never do anything that harms the nation and its people or brings shame to our sect. What you’ve done today has gone against those teachings. You sided with evil and supported them. You must be punished! Zhenzhen, wake up. Are you all right? Yes? I’m fine. I’m fine. Where are the others? What happened? Everyone got caught in the illusion. There’s something wrong
with those flowers. They must’ve wandered off
under hallucinations. Ah! Danger! Run! Now! Ouch. Where am I? Ah. What place is this? Ah. Ah! Oh? That’s special. You’ve been hitting me since just now. Finally, you end up in my hands. Ah! Fatty! Hey. You’ve been going against me. Me? Why did you bring me here? What’s your intention? What has it got to do with me? You chased me here. Gosh! Darn it. Did we hit you? Huh? Did you not? I… I’m confused now. Wait. Eh? This… Everything was fine
when we first came in. Right? Yeah. How did we end up here? Wait, where’s Zhenzhen? Huh? Get up now. Zhenzhen! Get up! – Zhenzhen!
– Faster. Fire. Hurry. Stop looking for her. Let’s find an exit first. Then, regroup with them. Yeah, right. Wake up. Let’s find an exit! Hurry. Light the candles. This sculpture looks real. What kind of mechanism is this? Wait, Marshal. I heard that in ancient burial rites, they used spirit children
to guide the dead into the afterlife realm. These two children must be them. Have you found the exit? Not yet. Where can it be? Go. Quick! Get inside! Come on! Stay close. Could the exit be inside this coffin? Li Chen. Yes, sir. Open it. Yes, sir. Hold on! You can’t just open a coffin like that. There are rules. Are you blind? It’s already been opened. What? Look. It’s opened? Give me a hand. – Okay.
– Uh… Wait… Hey. Well… Hey. Hey. Hmm? “The spirit children
lead the way to gold. When the Soul-Guiding light dies,
we share the same grave.” What does that mean? It means the three of us
will die if we open it. What? Ah! My goodness! Ah. Ah! Ah! Let’s leave! Wait for me! No! Fatty, why did you come here? Li Chen, come back! You ingrate! Li Chen, I’ll haunt you even if I die! Ah! Watch out. What’s that? It should be corpse oil. Corpse oil? Yes. Why are there so many bones here? This was common in royal burials in ancient times. Countless are sacrificed
for just one’s glory. This is what the craftsmen get when they submitted to the emperor. Let’s go. What are you thinking? This trap adopted the system of the Heavenly Stems
and Earthly Branches. It can only be resolved
if we find the correct time. We must find Fatty and the rest. And my father too. Right. And your father. Let’s go and check if the murals
give any clues. – Follow me.
– Okay. Look for the exit now. The ninth day of the Gui You year. The ninth day of the Gui You year? How come it’s same as my birth date? Lin Zhenzhen’s birth date? Why does it match the death date
of the figure in the mural? And her totem too. Why are you looking at me? Hmph. Zhenzhen. Hold this. The last one. Watch out, everyone! Are you all right? What’s happening to the murals? The heat from the burning corpse oil ignited the phosphorus in the paint. Give that to me. What you’re doing now is pointless. Just because my birthday matches the sundial, you went to such great lengths
to do all this? You’re too superstitious! This is absurd. You ignorant fools. Today, I’ll let you all witness how I retrieve the Eye of Luminous Deer. Zhenzhen! Stay still. Guns don’t discriminate. Wu? Wu. Wu! Wu! You nearly got me killed! Wu, aren’t you happy that I’m still alive? Fugui, where’s Lin? Zhenzhen, I’m here. Zhenzhen! Hongling, what’s this? Come at me if you have any problem. Let my daughter go. How did you get here? I… Fatty, you’re crushing me. You… Stop pushing. There’s barely any space. Aren’t you to blame? That ungrateful adjutant of yours! I’m upset too. My daughter is still out there. If she runs into that ingrate… I don’t even dare to think about it. Zhenzhen! Why are you crying? You’re a man. Think of a way out so that we can save Zhenzhen. What’s that? Lin Chen, you ingrate! Traitor! – What the heck…
– Hey. Traitor? Marshal, what makes you say that? I’ve always worked for Hongling. You were just too dumb to notice. You’re trying someone’s ancestral grave! You wicked woman! You… Enough with your nonsense. Since everyone’s here, let’s all witness this sacred moment. Bring her up! Hongling, you wretch! Let my daughter go! Stop being so stubborn! Zhenzhen! Zhenzhen! Zhenzhen! Hongling! You monster! Let my daughter go. Zhenzhen! Zhenzhen! Zhenzhen! Hongling, let my daughter go. I’ll do anything for you! I can’t untie myself, Wu. Wu. Li Chen! You beast! You darned beast! Quiet! Wu, do something! Shut up! Open it! Hongling, you’ll get what you deserve! What should we do, Wu? The Eye of Luminous Deer. The Eye of Luminous Deer. I’m going to kill you! You wretch! Fatty. Fatty. Fatty, turn around. Turn around. That way. Turn that way. One, two, three. Touch my hand. Okay. Hongling, your dream is over. Wake up. Then you all will be buried together! Kill them! Ah! Zhenzhen. Zhenzhen. Zhenzhen! Zhenzhen. Zhenzhen! Die! Zhenzhen! Father. Father. Father. Father. Father, are you all right? Darling, I haven’t heard you call me Father
in a long time. This wax is a gift for you! Where’s my master? Your master? He’s waiting for you six feet under! Father. Old man. I won’t be able to protect you anymore. Wu! Wu, move! Smile for me. You’re so pretty when you smile. You look just like your mother. What’s wrong? Get up. Father, wake up. Father! Wake up! Father! Father, wake up! Fatty! Find the exit! Got it. Zhenzhen! Zhenzhen! Get up! This place is collapsing. Quick! Get up now! Father! There’s no time! Go! Hurry! Fatty! Quick! Zhenzhen. Zhenzhen. Zhenzhen. Trust me. Where’s the exit? I’ll get you out. The exit. The exit. Celestial officials offer blessings with boundless compassion. With the seal in hand, all spirits and immortals must retreat. Having received the Mandate from Heaven, may prosperity endure. Follow the water, and life begins. There must be an exit below. Jump! Almost there! We’re almost there. Be careful. Ah! Fatty. Fatty! Fatty! Fatty! – Fatty!
– Fatty! It’s all right. Fatty. He’s safe. Fatty. We’re still alive. Gosh. What? You were going to leave me to die? Huh? You broke my heart! I didn’t leave you. Here. Let me give you mouth-to-mouth. Get off me. We’re safe now. Yeah. Well done. You too. Tough guy. Father. Of course, we’re tough. I’m sorry. Don’t worry. Let me take a good look at you. From now on, I’ll live well. By the way, didn’t you sneak anything out of there? As if. There was nothing in there. That wicked woman was spinning lies. Oh, my. Father. I’ll live well. I will! Hey. Hey. What are you doing? It’s all just one big lie
Hongling made up. There’s no way my master would come here. And so, Wu Qi, Wang Fugui, and Lin Zhenzhen escaped through the underground river, burying the evil Witch Clan there. If they had the Sixteen-Character
Yin Yang Fengshui Secret Spell, they wouldn’t be in this mess. Haha. Well. Here. Well, well. Very well. What’s your name? I’m Bayi. Bayi? I was born on August 1st,
[*”Bayi” means “August 1st” in Chinese] so I’m called Bayi. I see. Good. Very good. That’s a good date. And a good name. The younger generation shows promise.
