Yunmeng Romance (2026)

[bunniefuu]

[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!

k*ll it!

g*ns 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 b*llet 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 k*lled?

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?
