Yunmeng Romance (2026) Movie Script

[This story is purely fictional]
Professor Wang,
if you don't want to die,
you'd better lead us properly.
Hurry!
Once we get past Nine Dragons Fall,
it won't be far.
Guys,
did you hear that?
Stay sharp!
We're about to strike it rich!
Lead the way!
How far is it?
I don't know.
Why haven't we arrived yet?
Just keep going.
What is this?
Don't move.
What's wrong?
What flower is it?
I don't know.
So strange.
I've never seen it.
Why are we studying some wild grass?
Follow me!
Where there are strange plants,
there are strange beasts.
Since you're set on looting relics,
you're only courting death.
Everyone gets a cut!
Come on, guys!
We'll eat well and live large.
What is this?
- Run!
- Run!
Run!
Hurry up! This way!
Run! Hurry!
Split up!
Split up! Hurry!
Keep up!
Split up!
Kill it!
Guns are not working!
To make sure the relics don't fall into
the hands of you grave robbers,
I had no choice.
- Boss!
- Run!
Professor Wang set us up!
Watch him! Don't let him escape!
Run!
Hurry!
Get up the tree!
Get up the tree! Boss, run!
Get up the tree!
Hurry!
Hold on tight!
[Yunmeng Romance]
Jia.
A map?
[Hubei]
[Wu]
Could Uncle Wang's disappearance
be related to the legend he was studying?
If we follow the clues my father left,
we can find him, can't we?
So, when do we set off?
There's no way we can do it alone.
We need a partner.
[Damai]
His graceful presence radiates charm.
Beat him! Beat him!
Even the cruelest hearts
are softened by his gentle nature.
Is he an angel
or a demon?
No one knows.
But one thing is certain:
He is the embodiment
of heroism and justice.
He is invincible.
His sixth sense and reflexes
are beyond normal.
He can read minds and see the truth.
He never failed in any case he took on.
Stop it! Stop!
I give up!
My name is Shi Shao, and this is Qi Wen.
We're famous private detectives
in Shanghai.
As long as we get paid enough,
we can do anything.
Speak of the devil.
I heard you got beaten up again.
How about you go next time?
No, no, no. I won't take it from you.
Come on.
Let me introduce you.
Ladies and gentlemen,
the man standing before you is none other
than the man who reshaped social values,
wildly popular
among countless young women,
dashing and charming like Don Juan,
as handsome as Adonis,
and the number one detective in the field...
Mr. Qi Wen.
Hello, Detective.
My name is Wang Jia.
Hello.
I want you two to help me find someone.
You've come to the right person.
This detective is the king of detectives.
But the fee...
Here's half as a deposit.
I'll pay the rest when the job's done.
You must be mistaken.
I only solve cases.
I don't do people-finding jobs.
No, no. The Detective is just kidding.
Are you out of your mind?
At least it's better than sitting around
that stupid detective office all day,
right?
As the saying goes,
money makes the world go round.
We'll take this job.
Who are you looking for?
My father.
He's been studying a legend.
I believe his disappearance
has something to do with it.
Be more specific.
He's been studying the legend recorded
in the Classic of Mountains and Seas
about King Xiang of Chu
and the Goddess Yao Ji
during the Warring States period.
He believes this legend has a real origin,
and that Wushan in it,
where the Goddess
was buried, is in Yunmeng County, Hubei.
Classic of Mountains and Seas, Yao Ji,
and Wushan...
They are in Yunmeng?
So I'd like to ask you
to come with us to Hubei.
Do you have any clues about your father?
Yes.
But there's only one notebook.
Look.
I think
if we follow what's written in it,
we should be able to find him.
We'll take this job.
Deal.
Deal.
Wait.
There are other expenses.
You have to pay for our meals and drinks.
We're not paying for those.
All you care about is money.
I'd rather have you. How do you like it?
A leopard never changes its spots.
[Damai]
I thought you had some guts.
She left?
She left.
Come out.
I'm the number one detective in Shanghai.
I'm not afraid of you!
If I get the chance,
I'll pay you back for that kick!
She hasn't gone far.
If she hears you,
she'll come back and beat you again.
A real man doesn't fight women.
[Sound Snake]
[Human-faced Owl]
[Dragon-headed and Bird-bodied Deity]
[Fei]
[Xu] [Dun] [Fu]
Li Bing?
Why are you here?
Where's Jia?
Didn't she come with you?
Professor Wang is missing.
He left without a word.
But we've already decided to go find him.
Jia was worried about your safety,
so she didn't want me to tell you.
I took the liberty of asking...
Do you want to come and help?
Of course.
Professor Wang is not only Jia's father,
but also my teacher.
Let's make this clear.
You're going to help.
I can only protect Jia.
Don't be a burden to me along the way.
Alright, alright, I promise.
[Xinxin Hotel]
Hello, sir. I'll take one of those buns.
Thank you.
Take care.
It smells good.
[Marvelous Detective Agency]
Look at the buns.
I didn't keep you waiting too long, did I?
No.
You look so cool today.
Seems like you've already
forgotten the pain.
Let me introduce you.
This is Xia Xuesheng,
my father's student.
He's coming with us too.
He might be able to help.
And I'm her boyfriend.
Not yet.
Jia is about to say yes.
Do you history students
have to read Records of the Historian?
Of course.
Then your face
is even thicker than this book.
You...
You...
What?
Let's go, shall we?
- Okay.
- Let's go.
Newspaper! Newspaper!
Look at the buns.
It smells good.
- Take a look.
- Make way.
[Victoria Seafood]
It's so crowded.
You talk too much.
What's going on? Slow down a bit.
Let me play.
- Someone is coming.
- Let's go.
What?
- Let's go.
- Go back to the room.
Look. What are they doing?
I don't know.
This place is remote
and the people here are simple and honest.
You nerd.
- What? What do you want me to do?
- Let's be kind to them.
Let's find a household to stay
for a night.
So annoying.
Then we'll find someone
familiar with Wushan
to see if they can guide us
into the mountains
and maybe ask if Professor Wang
has been here.
- What a big car!
- What's inside?
I don't know.
Watch out.
It's huge.
Come and eat.
There's not much to offer
in the mountains.
Eat more.
We grew them ourselves.
They're enough already, ma'am.
Thank you.
Thank you.
Here, Jia.
Thank you.
Mr. Yang.
Have any strangers
come to this town before?
Actually, yes. Not long ago,
I was working with the second son of Wang
next door
when a group of strangers
suddenly arrived.
One of them, wearing glasses,
asked if this was Wushan.
I said yes.
We wanted to ask more,
but they looked fierce,
so we just kept quiet.
Mr. Yang, take a look.
Is he the one with glasses?
Look.
Yes, that's him.
Who is he?
He's my father.
Don't worry. I know the outer mountains
very well.
I'll help you find your father.
That's great. Thank you, Mr. Yang.
Thank you, Mr. Yang.
Mr. Yang, what are the outer mountains?
Wushan
is divided into
the inner and outer mountains.
We often go to the outer mountains
and know them all well.
But nobody
dares to enter the inner mountains.
Our ancestors said there are devils
in the inner mountains
and warned their descendants
never to go in.
Many curious people tried,
but none came out.
Since then,
no one dares to go in.
The "monsters" in the mountains
are just wild animals
that happen to be different.
Rumors turned them
into monsters and demons.
Don't worry, Mr. Yang.
We're here.
Okay, I'll take you in.
Thank you, Mr. Yang.
Thank you, Mr. Yang.
Here, eat more.
Okay.
Come on. Eat up.
Eat more.
You must eat enough
before entering the mountain.
Bye, ma'am.
- Take care.
- Bye!
Don't worry.
- Go back.
- Go back.
Be careful.
There are snakes and insects
in the mountains.
- Watch your step.
- Go back now.
Look at the terrain here.
It's perfect.
- Come on, Jia. Take care.
- Be careful.
Wait.
Be careful, Jia.
Watch your step.
Give me your hand.
How much farther is it?
Stop whining.
I'm exhausted.
Everyone step carefully.
- We're almost there.
- Can we take a short break?
Grab the branch on the right.
Don't look down.
Hold on to me.
- It's okay.
- Be careful.
Hurry up. Go, go.
Hold tight.
Be careful.
Hurry!
Harder!
- Don't look down!
- Don't let go!
I want to tell you something.
I've been having the same dream lately.
Ever since my father disappeared,
I keep having it over and over again.
Aren't you a great detective?
Explain to her
why she keeps having this dream.
No free dream interpretations.
That's extra money.
A little is better than nothing.
One silver dollar is still money.
When I was abroad,
I heard there's something
called psychic resonance.
With close blood relatives,
when something happens to them,
you can often sense it.
Some people are more sensitive,
others less so.
The dream you're having
might be connected to that legend.
Besides, you're worried about your father,
and you read his notebook.
What you think about during the day
shows up in your dreams at night...
Maybe that's all it is.
I know about this so-called
psychic resonance you mentioned,
but it doesn't exist.
People who believe in it
are just fooling themselves.
Anyway, let's focus on
finding Professor Wang.
Once we find him,
maybe you'll stop having that dream.
Maybe it will be like what you said.
I'm also interested in you two.
Why don't you tell us about yourselves?
Alright.
I'll tell you.
If you lose this game,
the money will be yours.
You don't need it,
but they do, don't they?
Give us something to eat!
I haven't eaten in days!
Please!
I'll do it.
We haven't eaten for days.
Come on, kids!
- There's food!
- There's food!
Don't fight. Don't fight.
There's enough for everyone.
You're so poor
that you can't even afford underwear,
yet you act like a Buddha every day.
No, a clay Buddha.
A clay Buddha is still a Buddha.
The victim was given a fungal sedative.
In small doses it causes hallucinations.
At over 3 milligrams,
it makes the blood flow rapidly,
leading to shock and death.
You two are hilarious.
But I have to say I admire you.
Don't come over! Don't come over!
I was just joking
to ease the tension.
Try that again
and I'll put a bullet in you.
Alright, alright.
Let go now.
That was terrifying.
And you think you can protect others?
Alright, enough fooling around.
Let's get moving.
- We still have a long way to go.
- Crazy.
Let's go.
You're so annoying.
Stop it.
The deeper we go into the inner mountains,
the less it looks like anyone's been here.
When will we get there?
Be careful.
Be careful. Keep up.
Jia, don't rush.
Take it slow.
You should be careful too.
Look at you, such a scaredy-cat.
Everyone watch your step.
Come on, Jia.
Be careful, everyone.
Be careful, be careful.
- Jia, are you tired?
- No.
I'm fine.
[Henan] [Yichang] [Xiangyang]
According to the notebook,
this is the location.
But there's no trace of my father.
What if we go there?
That might work.
Mr. Yang, how's it going?
How is it?
We've deviated
from the original route of the plan.
What do you mean?
We are lost?
Then what should we do out here
in the middle of nowhere?
Then take a good look.
This is no joke.
Exactly.
I don't want to earn money
only to lose my life.
I haven't enjoyed my life yet.
You guys discuss.
I need to go to the toilet.
Let's go!
- What's wrong?
- What's going on?
Let's go!
- Stop asking.
- Let's go.
Jia.
- Just come with me!
- Tell me. What's going on?
Come with me.
- Let's go take a look.
- Hurry up!
- Hurry up, Jia!
- Let's go.
A big waterfall!
Look!
A waterfall!
It's magnificent.
I didn't lie, did I?
This could be Nine Dragons Fall.
- Nine Dragons Fall?
- A waterfall?
It really does look like 9 dragons
on the cliff.
Where there are green mountains
and clear waters,
immortals are sure to dwell.
Places like this always hide a great tomb.
When a feng shui master
looks for a burial site,
it all comes down to the lay of the land
and the flow of the ridges.
Beautiful scenery draws everyone
Humans, ghosts, and gods alike.
You mean there's an ancient tomb here?
Where is it?
To pinpoint a tomb's exact location,
you look to the stars.
Tombs are always built
along the dragon's waist.
And to measure that dragon's waist,
you need stellar observation.
Since there is an ancient tomb here,
why don't we go in and take a look?
What if there are
priceless treasures inside?
Wouldn't I be rich then?
If there truly is an ancient tomb,
that would be a serious matter.
It should be reported to the authorities
and handled properly.
Ancient sites like this
are national property
and must not be taken lightly.
Jia, let's focus on
finding Uncle Wang first.
Right. Let's look around and see
if there are any signs that Professor Wang
passed through here.
Look over there!
Look!
There's something.
What's that in the water?
Looks strange.
It looks like some kind of
light refraction effect.
Looks like we have to
climb to the peak on the other side
to know for sure.
Let's go there and take a look.
- Let's go. This way.
- Let's go.
Come on.
Keep up!
Watch your step.
It's slippery.
Here. Give me your hand.
Be careful, Jia.
Be careful.
Why is there still no trace of my father?
We're almost there.
Jia, be careful.
Be careful.
Pretty? It's for you.
Why are you so arrogant?
Step back!
Be careful, Jia!
What's this?
What's this?
Don't come over!
Everyone, run!
What's that?
Run!
You go first!
Li Bing, go!
Hurry!
Run!
Don't stop!
- Hurry up!
- This way!
Hurry!
Come on!
Xia Xuesheng, hurry up!
Hurry!
It's coming after us!
Hurry!
It's coming after us again!
Be careful!
Up there!
Run!
Run!
- Run!
- I'll hold it back!
Help!
- Hurry!
- Jia!
Let's go! Hurry!
- Let's go!
- Let's go!
Run!
- Hurry!
- Go!
Bing, this way!
Jia, run!
Run!
- What was that?
- Go!
Follow me!
It's still nearby! Keep running!
- Don't let it catch up!
- It's coming!
- Hurry! This way!
- Hurry up, Jia!
Bing, this way!
- Hurry! This way!
- Damn!
Cut the crap! Hurry up!
Don't stop!
- Hurry!
- Don't stop.
Keep running!
Don't stop!
Hurry!
- Hurry!
- I can't keep running!
Let's go!
Jia!
It hurts!
It didn't catch up. Let's take a rest.
Is everyone okay?
I'm fine.
I'm fine.
My leg hurts so much.
Is it broken?
It's okay. It's just a scratch.
I was terrified.
Mr. Yang is dead.
Jia, we...
I don't even know
how to face Mr. Yang's family.
Xuesheng, do you know what that snake was?
Why was it so huge? And it had wings.
I think it looked like...
[Sound Snake]
The legendary Sound Snake.
The Sound Snake recorded
in the Classic of Mountains and Seas
is just a mutated python.
The cave where it lives
is very likely
to contain radiation elements,
such as uranium.
These elements are absorbed
by the python over time,
combined with
mineral rich underground water,
creating a natural chemical reaction.
That reaction releases
large amounts of radiation.
That's the fundamental reason
for the mutation.
Did you hear that, nerd?
It's just a mutated python.
I only said
it looked like the Sound Snake.
Jia, let's go.
It's...
It's too creepy here.
The python must be at the entrance.
We'll have to find another way out.
Do we have any other options right now?
All we can do is move forward
and hope for the best.
Let's go.
Come.
Bing, let's go.
Bing, give me a hand.
Then just stay here.
Bing, where's your jacket?
- I'll follow you, Jia.
- I threw it away.
Be careful.
Is there a road ahead?
There is a door?
Let's go further and see.
Let's go.
It smells so good.
Where did this fragrance come from?
It smells so good.
Alright, let's go inside and take a look.
- Let's go.
- Let's go in and take a look.
- Okay.
- Open the door.
Be careful.
Stay close to me.
Stay close to me.
Jia, I've got you. Don't be afraid.
A Tomb Guardian Beast?
It's exactly like
what's described in the book.
So this is an ancient tomb.
Let's go in and take a look.
What if we can't get out?
Detective, what's your take?
Well. Let's go in and have a look.
If we're lucky,
we might find another exit.
And maybe even traces of your father.
Then what are we waiting for?
Let's go inside.
Stay still!
Did they just move?
They're alive.
Be careful.
They're alive.
They're alive.
Don't come any closer.
Don't come any closer.
Don't come any closer.
Don't come any closer.
Don't come any closer!
Li Bing!
What are all these?
Everyone, be careful.
Look around for an exit.
This looks like a phoenix pattern.
This pattern
usually only appears in the tomb
of the female tomb owner.
[The Goddess of Mount Wushan]
I suddenly remembered the legend
my father studied.
According
to the Classic of Mountains and Seas,
the Heavenly Emperor
had a young daughter called Nyu Shi,
also known as Yao Ji.
She died before she got married.
Then she was buried in Wushan
and became the Goddess of Wushan.
Legend has it
that during the Warring States period,
the Goddess of Wushan
loved King Xiang of Chu.
She came to the mortal world
without permission,
hoping to marry him.
But their wishes went unfulfilled,
as heaven and earth kept them apart.
After King Xiang of Chu returned to
the palace, he missed her day and night.
The Goddess saw his devotion
and promised to meet him in his dream.
She told him she lived
in the south of Wushan...
The south of Wushan?
Transforming into clouds
by day and rain by night,
so that he might see her from dawn
until dusk, every single day.
After waking, he searched
all over Mount Wushan
but never reunited with her.
Then he built a pavilion on Wushan.
Look.
It's called Zhaoyun Pavilion.
Zhaoyun Pavilion?
So, according to you,
the reflection we saw outside
was the Zhaoyun Pavilion?
Some legends shouldn't
be taken at face value.
There are eight doors in total.
Excluding the one we came in through,
there are seven left.
Which one should we choose?
It follows the same principles
as Qimen Dunjia.
These eight walls correspond
to the Eight Gates:
Rest, Life, Injury, Obstruction, View,
Death, Fear, and Open.
If we want to get out,
we must find the Life Gate.
Choose one from eight?
That's right.
No. It can't be that simple.
Plenty of people
are skilled in Qimen Dunjia.
The tomb owner
should know that. Too.
I agree.
Broken, unbroken... broken, unbroken...
What do you mean?
The Eight Trigrams.
The Eight Trigrams?
-An Eight Trigrams formation was laid out on the ground.
-The Eight Trigrams.
From the Supreme Ultimate
comes the Two Forms.
The Two Forms give rise
to the Four Images,
and the Four Images
give rise to the Eight Trigrams.
The entire tomb chamber
is one vast Eight Trigrams formation.
Can you say something we can understand?
Which door should we choose?
What...
What should we do?
It cannot be pushed open.
- What should we do?
- What should we do?
Don't panic.
I've got it.
The mechanism for this stone door
is also embedded
in the trigram arrangement.
The second line of Kun acts naturally
and spreads outward in all directions.
It benefits all without cultivation,
because the way of the earth
is vast and boundless.
Kun represents earth, and the
second line embodies the land itself.
It works in harmony
with the entire trigram,
and stands at the center of the lower
trigramstable and perfectly placed.
- That's way too cryptic.
- There's no better position than that.
So it's it is the governing line
of the whole trigram.
Using the position of Kun's second line,
we should be able to open the door.
Then hurry up.
We're all counting on you.
That's right.
Metal overcomes wood.
Wood overcomes earth.
Earth overcomes water.
Water overcomes fire.
Whether we can get out alive
depends on you.
Earth gives rise to the second line.
The third line shifts to the fourth.
- Slow down.
- Fifth line.
Be careful.
From Two Forms to Four Images.
From Four Images to Eight Trigrams.
Correct position.
Be careful!
It's wrong?
Of course. It must be wrong.
Detective, maybe try another way
and see if it works.
Hurry up.
Shut up!
Think it through before you step.
Wait. I'll try the fourth yin line.
Are you sure?
Can you be a little more reliable?
Everyone, be careful.
Oh, no. The Tomb Guardian Beast
didn't bite me to death.
I might fall into the abyss instead!
Why don't you try something else?
Kun, Dui, Li, and Xun
all belong to the yin trigrams.
Among them, Kun is gentle and receptive,
the way of earth that nurtures all things,
bearing all things with great capacity.
It moves endlessly,
advancing without limit.
It symbolizes a smooth passage.
In the Later Heaven Eight Trigrams,
Kun represents the southwest.
That means the Kun trigram, through its
six lines, marks the correct direction.
Jia, hold on tight.
It should be here.
Everyone, be careful.
This time it has to be right.
It has to be.
- It opened.
- It opened.
It opened.
It opened.
Let's go.
- One.
- Two. Three. Go.
Everyone, be careful.
Detective, how did you know
that the correct direction
was the yin trigram door?
From the stone reliefs on the tomb gate
to the images on the walls,
all signs point to the tomb owner
being a woman.
So we should follow the yin trigrams.
By the trigrams, we should
take the Kun path...
Southwest. It can't be wrong.
I see.
Jia, follow me closely.
Why do I feel like what you said earlier
sounded so cryptic?
You...
Wait for me.
Don't rush off.
Jia.
What a coward.
It doesn't look like someone
has been here.
Everyone, be careful.
What are all these?
A monster.
What is that?
It's so dark.
It seems to be a cat.
Are you sure it's not one of those
guardian beasts painted on the wall?
It is not a cat. It's a wild raccoon.
It's a wild raccoon-dog.
It's just a wild raccoon-dog.
Look how scared some people are.
He's about to wet himself.
Who wet himself?
Good-for-nothing.
A wild raccoon-dog...
Let's keep moving.
Let's go.
Bing, follow me closely.
Be careful.
Another door.
Let's go.
Why is it here?
What is this?
This is a guardian figurine.
A guardian figurine?
Is it
meant to protect the tomb?
If it's not guarding the tomb,
then is it here for display?
This sword is rather... intriguing.
Good sword.
Stay together.
- What should we do?
- Don't separate.
Don't come over!
- Don't come over!
- Don't come over.
Run! Get out! Hurry!
- Hurry!
- Let's go.
- Let's go!
- Hurry!
- Run! Go, go, go!
- Hurry.
Are you all right?
What happened just now?
Inside those bronze warriors,
- they're packed with mechanisms.
- It's so scary.
Once the mechanism is triggered,
the mechanisms activate
and attack.
They're probably using
a mechanical linkage.
The tomb is full of traps.
Everyone, be extremely careful.
- Okay.
- Okay.
And youcan you stop touching things?
Exactly.
Let's go.
Take care, Jia.
This tomb is interesting.
It's empty.
This place is creepy.
What a strange tomb.
There is so much silk.
Besides the red silk,
it's that double-bird drum.
Why would they put
so much red silk
and that drum here?
It might be a musical instrument.
It's unbelievable.
A musical instrument?
Don't touch it.
Acting all mystical.
This place is so strange.
Let's get out of here quickly.
Looks like this is the last tomb.
Detective, are we still going in?
We have no choice. Let's go.
The vines are retreating. Let's go.
What are these vine-like things?
You nerd.
Shut up.
Isn't this the flower
I picked for Bing in the forest?
There seems to be something in the water.
This is mystical.
We'd better be careful.
Don't get too close.
A coffin spring. It's a coffin spring.
What's a coffin spring?
A coffin spring refers
to a small spring pool
inside an underground palace.
There's a spring eye in the pool
that continuously produces water,
yet it never overflows or dries up.
It's considered prime feng shui.
A woman buried in such a place...
Her descendants
will enjoy lasting blessings.
So this is a coffin spring.
Whose coffin could this be, then?
Why would it be buried here?
It must belong to someone
of extraordinary status.
Open the lid, and we'll know.
Be careful.
Jia, she looks just like you.
Run!
- Run!
- Hurry. Run!
What should we do?
Bing, be careful.
Jia!
Run!
Hurry!
- This way!
- Jia. Be careful!
Take care.
Qi Wen! Qi Wen!
Wake up!
It's all an illusion!
Where are we?
What happened just now?
When we entered this ancient tomb,
we were already in an illusion.
Illusion?
Including that Tomb Guardian Beast
at the entrance?
That's right.
What do you mean?
Do you remember
that scent we smelled?
It smells so good.
The builders of this ancient tomb
placed a substance inside
that causes hallucinations
and never decays.
Anyone with ill intent
toward the ancient tomb
would fall into illusions.
It's so terrifying.
Everything else disappeared.
Why is the coffin still here?
Of course, there would be a coffin
in an ancient tomb.
It's strangejust placed here like this.
Why hasn't it decayed?
The wood may have been specially treated.
The wisdom of the ancients
is far beyond our understanding.
The detective is right.
I've heard Professor Wang mention
that historically,
there were indeed
special coffin treatments
used to preserve bodies.
Look.
Xuesheng.
There are words.
"King went hunting with Yunmeng,
rested briefly at the Gaotang Pavilion.
In a dream, he saw a woman who said,
'I am the Heavenly Emperor's
youngest daughter,
named Yao Ji.
I died before marriage and was enshrined
on the terraces of Wushan.
My spirit became grass, called Lingzhi.'
Awakening from the dream, her fragrance
remained, though her form was gone.
The King could not forget Yao Ji,
wept in longing until dawn.
He searched throughout Chu
and finally fulfilled his wish.
Later, she fell ill and died, and was
buried on the southern side of Wushan.
A pavilion named Zhaoyun was then built
"by the river in her memory."
What does it mean?
Roughly speaking,
the King of Chu
searched endlessly for Yao Ji
and eventually found a woman
who looked exactly like her.
He brought her into the palace.
But she later fell ill and died young.
So the King of Chu buried her here.
That's so touching.
If he truly loved Yao Ji,
why fall for someone else?
Even if she looked the same,
she was still just a substitute.
Exactly. I'm a loyal partner.
You? Come on.
I'll let it slide.
This ancient tomb
is filled with sinister energy.
We shouldn't stay long.
Let's find a way out.
Okay.
Don't touch anything.
These are all relics.
If you dare steal anything,
I'm coming for you.
Get lost. What's it got to do with you?
When did I say I'd take anything?
With me here,
- I will never let you take any relics.
- Fine, fine.
Just chill out.
I must report these discoveries
to the proper authorities
for preservation.
It's beautiful.
What if the relics get damaged?
The mechanisms are activating again!
It's not safe here. Go that way.
- It's safe here, Jia.
- Are you trying to get killed?
Hurry!
Detective, what do we do?
We can't hold on much longer.
What should we do now?
Think of something, quickly.
The water in the coffin spring
is flowing water.
That might be the only way
out of this ancient tomb.
Lift the coffin lid.
Let's go.
Be careful, everyone.
Oh my God.
Hold on.
What's happening?
We're good now.
We're good now.
It really stopped?
Is the exit really in the water?
Water is the only link to the outside.
Hurry up and go!
Hurry up and go!
Jia.
Hurry! Go!
Go!
I'm still her boyfriend.
Jia was about to say yes to me.
Xuesheng.
So the exit really is in the water.
Detective, you were right again.
The coffin spring really
does connect to the outside.
- Is everyone okay?
- Yes.
Yes.
Let's get to shore first.
Okay.
Let's get ashore and talk.
- We're finally out.
- Be careful.
It has to be the detective.
Enough joking.
Jia.
Jia.
Let's go.
- Okay.
- I'm fine.
Be careful.
Let's go.
We should get up there quickly.
Xuesheng, I'm sorry.
I underestimated you before.
Don't worry.
We'll make sure
to notify the authorities
about this discovery
so that the relics can
be kept safe and well-preserved.
Let's go.
Detective,
was I wrong?
Was what I did really worth it?
Should we keep searching?
Yes, we have to.
I believe your father is still alive.
You tomb robbers...
For a moment of greed,
you throw your lives away here.
Why bother?
