How is Zhuang Rui?

Zhung Rui? He's not doing so good.

No, wait! What do you mean by "not so good"?

When he was making his way down the tomb, he suddenly fainted.

Fainted? What happened?

That is, when he was going down the tomb, he suddenly felt unwell and then he fainted.

What? That serious?

He's all right now. Please don't worry.

Nonsense! He's my own grandson! How can I not be worried?

Why didn't you tell me about this earlier?

Such a serious matter, why didn't you mention it earlier?

Let me tell you this. If anything happens again in the future, you must tell me immediately.

Yes, yes, yes. Zhuang Rui is your dear grandson.

I'm the one who was found outside, okay? Go and rest quickly, all right?

I'm going to look for Professor Meng.

Hanging up now.

Fainted suddenly?

[Dear Brother Tianfeng, when you see this letter, it is like seeing me. These few days, our archaeological team has arrived at the location, and work has begun...

...I entrust my family to you. With best wishes, Zhuang Qiming, 20th Dec., 1977]

This is just an ordinary jade eye.

Ancient people used jade to carve into eyes like this.

Teacher, we did another round of analysis 10 km (6,3 miles) around the area,

and did some sampling, but we still gained nothing new.

I reported to my grandfather about the situation of the tomb below.

He said that it is possible there is a hidden burial chamber which we have yet to discover.

Hidden burial chamber?

Impossible. According to the scans made, it is not possible we left out anything.

Since Old Master Gu thinks so,

we should catch hold of time and make another round of metal detection tests.

Looks like we have been worrying too much.

Look at this.

Are there some problems with the bottom-most layer of this soil?

Looks like it's backfill earth.

Backfill earth?

Sure enough, this is what happened. We have already explored every corner of the tomb.

But below the tomb,

there might be a new tomb.

Otherwise, there should not be backfill earth in the soil layers here.

Professor, look at this. There appears to be a large amount of water that accumulated here.

Little Ren, get the pump here quickly.

Yes.

Your grandfather is incredible! There's really another tomb beneath this.

You've contributed greatly!

Me?

Brother Bagatur, I never expected the butter tea prepared by you to be so delicious.

I knew you'd be here.

Sit down quickly. Come!

My breakfast here is the best on the grassland!

That... I don't need any! No need!

- Here. - I—

- Try it. - I...

Try some. It's quite delicious.

I see that you are completely well and agile again, right? Just casually running around.

Come, eat!

Brother Bagatur has already told me everything.

If not for me this time, your safety would not have been compromised.

They are afraid of me, that's why they want to get rid of me,

so they can execute their criminal activities.

it's only a matter of time before they come after me even if you did not fall sick.

Drink.

Drink some.

Oh, right! What is Professor Meng doing now?

They are doing detection tests.

Then, what discoveries did they make after opening the coffin?

The skeleton of the owner of the tomb

is missing from the coffin, but they found a jade chessboard inside.

Jade chessboard?

Why are you in such a hurry when you had just recovered from your illness?

Professor, I am almost fully recovered. Look, do you think I can...

Can, can, can. Here, a photo of the jade chessboard.

We did another 3D scan of the foundation of the excavation site.

Then... it means that this tomb has two levels?

According to the result of the scan, it is so.

It is beyond our expectations. This time, we really found a tomb within a tomb.

Tomb within a tomb? This is the first time I've heard about it.

Not only you.

Since I started archaeological work,

this is my first time seeing a tomb structure like that.

But there's something more strange about it.

This... tomb is in the shape of a circle.

That is what I meant.

What's wrong with it being a circle?

For our ancestors, Heaven is round and Earth has corners.

Hence, most tombs are shaped as a square or rectangle.

It actually doesn't conform to a complete circle, either.

Look. It looks more like an eye.

A tomb that looks like an eye.

Professor Meng, when will we go down again?

Everyone, prepare first. Come with me.

Come.

Look, this tomb shape is indeed quite rare.

This time, just be obedient and stay up here.

I will let you know if there is any situation down there.

But Professor Meng, I...

On the two occasions that you went down, you became unwell.

This time, no matter what, you can't go down anymore.

Professor Meng, do you know that when an archaeologist discovers something new,

you get that excitement similar to when astronauts were able to fly up into the universe, when they were able to step on the moon?

Do you know that? I really must have some.

You're still too young. You don't need to risk danger like this.

But I-I really think that I'll regret it if I don't go down this time.

You... You child...

You're so like me in the past.

Then, you agree?

If you feel unwell, you must immediately go up.

Deal!

Let's go.

- We've agreed that you must immediately go up if you feel unwell, okay? - All right.

I don't know what Feifei will say about this.

Come, slow down.

Feifei! Little Gu!

Why are you here?

I'm here.

Professor, he was able to convince you again?

How could I convince him? He's so stubborn.

- Feifei, don't worry. - What "don't worry"?

I will never let you in this time.

Last time, there was mercury.

This time, I made complete preparation.

Also, with all of you around, I will be fine.

You...

Professor, we're ready. It's getting late, too.

Let's not waste time and get moving.

Hey! Hey!

Go. Go.

Please watch your steps.

Be careful.

There's indeed a stone door here.

Based on the scans,

behind the stone wall, there should still be a space.

Then, what is behind the stone wall?

It must be the entrance to the real tomb that's within this tomb.

Then hurry and use the lithotripter to open it.

We can't.

We just sucked out the water down here and the upper tomb has shown signs of collapse.

We can't use heavy equipment in here.

There is actually a second door.

This is a setup like the "Go" chessboard.

There are also two lines of words on the side.

There is a principle behind black and white. Once you've placed your move, you can't regret it.

When yin and yang conform to each other, the surrounding area would be completely revealed.

What does this mean?

Professor Meng,

can you let me see the jade chessboard you'd obtained before?

It is a cultural relic. How can you casually be allowed to look at it?

That jade chessboard was found on the upper-level tomb.

It must be an important clue on how to solve this door.

Come.

Xiao Ren, give him the jade chessboard.

Be careful.

It seems this jade chessboard isn't the key to open this door.

That's right.

This is an unfinished chess game.

Only by putting this chessboard in

and finish this game, can we open this door.

That's right. This is an unfinished game.

Both sides still have a chance.

Look. These two rows must be the chess pieces.

But there are a lot of ways to solve this game.

What's the right method to open this stone door?

I think these two lines

are important clues in solving this chess game.

There is a principle behind black and white. Once you've placed your move, you can't regret it.

When yin and yang conform to each other, the surrounding area will be completely revealed.

Go, Little Zhuang. You two complete it.

Okay.

You're the black pieces, so you go first.

If you move like that, wouldn't you be rid of the "Quadruple KO" situation

and not be able to create a draw situation?

I got it.

I never thought you even knew how to play "Go," Xiao Yu.

Oh, no. It's the same feeling again.

Wait a minute.

Zhuang Rui! Zhuang Rui!

- Zhuang Rui! - How do you feel?!

Are you all right?

Why are you sweating so much? Do you want to rest a bit?

No need. We'll succeed soon.
