Bury Me High (卫斯理之霸王卸甲)

Many Chinese believe the juxtaposition of stars, and hills influences human fate,

for generations.

They give a lot to the abode of living, calling it "yang abode",

and to the burial site, calling it "yin cavern".

They believe if a good way is found to link up the yin and yang sites,

their wishes will come true.

This is geomancy, a branch of Chinese mysticism.

Master, dinner is ready.

Brother, look.

I've found the Conqueror Locale at last.

Splendid, brother. Congratulations!

The Conqueror Locale represents wealth.

Descendants of the buried would be rich.

The immense wealth I have now,

can sustain 10 generations of spendthrifts.

To me, money means nothing.

Reserve this grave for your father.

What I need now is a little status.

They say the poor mustn't fight with the rich.

With money, I want power.

I want my descendants to be mandarins, generals or presidents.

Brother, money and power are inseparable.

Brother.

So the true site is over here.

Brother.

Brother, don't use this site for burial.

Why?

The peak, at one with prerequisites of the Yellow River.

command the four directions from the figure 5 in the center.

Like a closed fist, it reigns over the world.

This world is mine to take.

Look, the five peaks are rubbish in color.

The petrified trees testify to rages of thunder.

If you were buried here, your children would be blessed with power,

but millions would die.

Get out of my way!

No generals succeed without the loss of lives.

No emperors get crowned without sacrifices.

The Conqueror is only effective for 24 years.

It can create a ruler, a tyrant to be exact.

Only brother and I can figure out this site.

But brother surely will try to harm me.

It's Fate.

If I die, may the one blessed with the map,

find the site and destroy it.

The sitting prohibits the burial of 10 kinds of people.

1, Those who are not filial or brotherly.

2, Those who have been evil for generations.

3, Those who commit foul deeds themselves.

4, Those who are wicked in their inner selves.

Brother, where are you going at this hour?

You should check out first,

even if you're taking my house as a hotel.

You're well versed in this Conqueror's Locale.

Where is the Lo Tableau?

You tried to cut off my imperial vein?

You know this is most wicked.

My master said there are ten don'ts in geomancy.

Commandment 4 forbids burial of one with evil thoughts.

Don't get mired.

Give it to me.

- Follow him. - Stop!

- Halt! - Stop!

Get hold of him!

Go to hell.

Finish him off!

Jump...

Go down and follow him, quick!

You'll get over. Bear with it.

You're going to be all right. Hold on.

Collect yourself. I'll take you to a doctor.

Not necessary, it won't do any good.

Mr. Wei, you're a geomancy expert.

I need your guidance for tonight.

I must repay you for risking your life to help me.

You said burial in this grave brings money and honor.

Our five generations have been servants.

Please guide me on this grave forsaken by master,

so that my children may be blessed.

- Brother Wong. - Father.

This Conqueror Locale which is

3 interlocked caverns controls 3 mountains in one sweep.

The first cavern represents power.

The second, riches.

The third, wisdom.

I'll have your father buried in the 'wealth' grave,

and my own father in the 'wisdom' grave.

Don't forget my descendants when you're rich and powerful.

I have a son.

His name is Wisely.

Miss Wong, we now have the information to trace the computer.

Miss Wong, the computer is in the operations room.

- It's good. Go back to your positions. - Yes, Miss Wong.

Give me source.

Call Control, give me Channel One.

Miss Wong, we've located the hacker, and he's definitely in Rosewood Avenue.

Good job, Eric. Let's have the map on the screen.

- You've got it, Boss. - Jacky, tell everyone to be careful.

Don't ever let him know we've found him.

Now you can't get over.

Center, can you give me Rosewood?

Damn it, I'm sure that he knows who we are already.

Let me talk to him while you guys keep tracing him, OK?

OK.

Jacky, this one must be Chinese.

Are you so sure?

A foreigner usually doesn't speak in such a way.

According to the computer, he's aged between 15 and 25.

Perfect!

Jacky, check how many computer whiz kids, there are in L.A.

- Chinese. - Yes, Madam.

My God! Miss Wong, we've found him. He is at no. 1500 on Rosewood.

- Call the cops. - OK, Boss.

Get the police over to Rosewood now.

There are six of them, madam.

Two in mainland China; two left for Japan.

Another died in an accident last month.

- So there's only one left. - Who's it?

Yes, sir.

Inherited from paternal side.

Inherited from paternal side. Father: Wei Tien-hsien.

Inherited from paternal side. Father: Wei Tien-hsien. Geomancer cum Mathematician.

fields of expertise: geomancy, astronomy, geology.

Stop!

You really are okay.

You've traced my computer virus so soon.

Soon? We've already spend six months' time.

The Whole LA computer network nearly got paralyzed as a result.

And much of the police force was bothered too.

Don't worry.

I didn't hand your data over to the police.

Miss Wong asked us to rescue you last time.

Why were you so nice to us?

The credit was your father's.

- My father? - Yes, your father Wei Tien-hsien.

- Hello, Anna, how are you? - Fine, thanks.

Would you please tell me how he is, Daniel?

He's okay at least for the moment.

He's very tough; the fall didn't hurt him much.

However, I do have some bad news for you.

Have you been suffering from bad headaches too?

Oh, yes, I almost forgot,

but I'm getting them more often.

Let me show you something.

X-ray pinpoints a malignant tumor in the frontal cerebrum.

It's very dangerous because as it gets larger,

it could severely damage the brain.

Probably he won't die,

but he could go mentally insane.

Can you operate on him?

I wouldn't advise it on the tumor.

There's only a 30% chance of survival.

My father died when I was a child.

He left me nothing but a collection of feng shui books.

Then I was adopted and taken to the USA.

Quite unexpectedly, I got brain trouble.

- Wisely, come here, OK? - OK. Thanks.

Your father thought of it over 20 years ago.

You mean that feng shui mountain?

Thanks to the help of your father,

my brother and I came here in an exodus.

It may be a coincidence only,

but my brother has been doing fine from studies to career.

He set up the computer kingdom in a matter of years.

Unfortunately, he died young.

His achievements were remarkable.

Now everything's turned into nothingness.

We're faced with a great crisis in business.

An internal fight in the Company after his death,

caused rival companies to tighten control over us.

A series of coups also affected our multinational investments.

The new administration froze all our capital,

accusing us of supporting the ex-government.

I'm a layman in business.

You could imagine the consequence.

All this may not be linked with feng shui.

We're rich because my father was buried in the 'wealth' grave.

You became a computer enfant terrible,

because your grandfather was buried in the 'wisdom' grave.

Now our family business is verging on bankruptcy,

and you've trouble with your brain. Could this be coincidence only?

There are contradictions.

This couldn't have happened to such a good site.

This locale has a luck period of 24 years only.

If the remains of the ancestors are not unearthed in 24 years, or the man grave not destroyed

good fortune will take a turn for the worse.

Did my father tell you that?

Before his death, my brother told me,

to arrange this with you as soon as I found you.

And he wanted me to repay the Weis.

If you agree to go with me to Carrinan.

I'll offer you US dollar for 3 million.

You need medical expenses for treatment.

If I can't live to get this money, donate it to the Orphanage on my behalf.

You're going to be all right.

How can we go to this lron-Curtain country?

They've been inviting consortia to invest,

and we're their distinguished guests.

I know nothing about feng shui. I need an assistant.

Your headaches pills, the doctor orders.
