Hello everyone, This is Ultimate Recapped here!
Today, I'm going to explain a Chinese action-adventure fantasy film called," Mojin: The Worm Valley,"
released in 2018.
Don't waste your time, Be ready for some spoilers ahead.
The film opens with a narration that, a long time ago, a Princess created a cruel curse
to subjugate her people, who try to oppose her.
Those curses are marked on the shoulder of the people which make them die before they
reach the age of 40.
After that, the curse passed from one generation to the next, until one day, a rumor says that,
a way to lift the curse is finding two of the artifacts that one called, The Dragon
Bone Celestail Tomb, and another one called, The Mu Chen Orb.
After the narration, the movie jumps to the present day, where a professor named, Sun,
who is finding the clue of the Mu Chen Orb from the Dragon Bone after the first artifact
has been found.
The professor notices that the Dragon Bone carved about the location of the Orb in the
sentences that," under the vault of the heaven, south to the iridescent clouds, a peak where
dragons hide, a mountain where snake coil, a crystal path to the hidden place, and a
tomb with water cave."
Knowing this, a co-worker of the professor named Bayi, who considers these sentences
and claims the Orb's location must be at an area called Yunnan.
Meanwhile, two men named Gold Tooth and Fatty, are trying to explain to their customers in
the antique shop, after Professor Sun takes the Dragon Bone out of there, making the customers
are unable to buy.
Even though the two try to explain the reason which they are unable to show the Dragon Bone,
the customers still don't believe and think the men are the liar.
Hearing this, Fatty starts to be aggressive and making a conflict with the customers.
Meanwhile, a girl named Linglong, who stays behind the stage helps Fatty to against the
customers, before the conflict is stopped when the Shop Owner arrives.
Suddenly, the movie reveals that Linglong is the daughter of the Shop Owner as well.
The Shop Owner then orders Gold Tooth and Fatty to show their backs to the customers,
it turns that the two have the mark of the curse on the shoulder.
The Shop Owner then reveals about the men's journey to find the Dragon Bone to lift the
curse and he claims that Gold Tooth and Fatty have found the Dragon Bone is real.
In addition, besides the two men, there are have Professor Sun, Bayi, another girl named
Shirley, and the last one is his daughter, Linglong in this journey as well.
After talking, The Shop Owner declares that he doesn't sell the Dragon Bone because it
is not for the business but this artifact is for saving the human's life.
Jumps to the professor, during he thinks about the sentences on the Dragon Bone with Bayi,
Shirley arrives and claims she has the clue of the Orb.
She says, there is someone named Chen as known as Blind Chen, a blind man who is used to
leading a group of men to the tomb of the ancient king in the Yunnan area.
But later on, he becomes the only survivor and be insane while his eyes are also to be
blind.
After talking, Professor Sun, Bayi, and Shirley hurry to find Blind Chen at the hospital,
and not long after, the three meet him.
Blind Chen then shakes hands to welcome the three and he is also able to read their minds
by touching their hands as well.
After that, he orders the professor and Bayi to exit the room and he wants to talk with
Shirley.
Hearing this, the men agree and wait for her outside the room, allowing Shirley to stay
with Blind Chen.
Shirley then asks Blind Chen about his past story which he used to pass when he goes to
the Tomb of the ancient king in Yunnan.
After hearing this, Blind Chen replies to her as joking and tells her to become the
girlfriend of Bayi instead.
Hearing this, Shirley begins to be aggressive and forces him to tell the truth until she
reminds the Orb, making Blind Chen starts to be aggressive and shout at her.
Blind Chen then tells her, there has nobody is able to take the Orb because they are unable
to cross the mountain.
In addition, he tells her that, the human just sees the mountain and the mountain is
the same as the human, which is able to live.
But the difference, the mountain is able to live for thousands of years while the normal
human is able to live for 80 years, so the human is unable to pass the mountain.
After talking, Blind Chen tells her to leave him, but she blames him for being a cowardly
man and fears facing the truth.
Hearing this, he starts to be aggressive and he takes off his glasses to show his blind
eyes and tells her, Never look into its eyes, before he orders her to leave him.
After that, Shirley, Bayi, Professor, Gold Tooth, Fatty, and Linglong travel to Yannan
to find the Orb.
On the way, the groups almost get into an accident when a part of the mountain drops
to their way, but the driver manages to stop the car in time.
Seeing this, this group goes to check on the broken rock, while many of the ancient worms
are crawling out of the rock, making Professor Sun believes that, they must be close to the
tomb of the ancient King.
This group then goes to a house in a small village, where a place that Bayi used to stay
in the past when he works as a soldier.
After that, the house owner leads them to inside the house, and Bayi asks the house
owner about to waterway through the mountain.
The house owner tells him, there has a way to through the mountain but it has been deserted
for a long time, so it is so dangerous.
During talking, the house owner's daughter named, Kongque, goes to hug Bayi and claims
she very misses him, since he leaves her.
Kongque then takes Bayi out of the house to visit the plant, which he used to plant with
her when he stays here in the past.
Seeing this, Shirley seems to be unhappy, however, she doesn't say anything.
Later that night, Bayi goes to meet Shirley in her room to explain the relationship between
him and Kongque.
But suddenly, Shirley closes the door before he explains to her.
Meanwhile, Fatty, Linglong, and Kongque are enjoying the lightning bugs in the flower
field.
Fatty then catches a lightning bug, but suddenly, its burns to death in his hand.
Seeing this, Kongque explains that, the lightning bug will burn to death when someone or animal
touches it, and it is so dangerous.
She then shows the lightning bug king to him and claims that the king is able to attract
the normal lightning bug by using its smell.
In addition, if one day the king burns to death so all the normal lightning bugs are
also come to his side and burn with him.
After talking, Linglong borrows the lightning king from her and she runs around the house
with Fatty, enjoying that night.
The following day, Kongque leads this group to the waterway that through the mountain,
and not long after, they arrive there.
After that, This group leaves Kongque and uses the bamboo raft to journey the waterway.
On the way, Linglong reveals that she misses the lightning bugs while Fatty then shows
her the lightning bug king that he borrows from Kongque to please her as well.
After that, the groups arrive in a small valley and Gold Tooth is bitten by a man-eaten fish
but Shirley helps him and his blood is dropped into the water.
Suddenly, thousands of man-eaten fishes, who follow the smell of the blood, jump out of
the water and attack the group.
The group then tries to defend themselves by their best, until accidentally, Fatty drops
off the bamboo raft.
Luckily, He manages to climb up the raft in time before he becomes the feed of the fish.
The group then continues to escape from the fishes, until they spot many of the mummies
that hanged on the ceiling of the cave.
In addition, those mummies start to drop into the water one by one, and many of the parasites
crawl out of the corpses and go to attack the group.
No choice, Professor Sun and Gold Tooth use the flame gun against the parasites and the
fishes until the gun begins to run out the gas.
Seeing this, Bayi throws the bomb at the parasites, and Shirley shoots a fire arrow at the bomb,
making a massive explosion and killing the creature.
But unfortunately, this explosion makes the bamboo raft broken, and the group falls into
the water and flows through the water hole.
They then flow out of the cave and drop to the deep, but luckily, they fall into the
river from below.
After that, the group rushes to swim toward the land, but unfortunately, they are got
lost and split into two teams.
Meanwhile, the team of the professor, Linglong, and Fatty go out of the cave and find many
of the ancient mummies are put into the container, which seems to have been tortured.
At the same time, the team of Bayi, Shirley, and Gold Tooth spot the giant footprint on
the ground.
They then go to watch out for the footprint, but suddenly, a giant lizard shows up and
wants to attack them.
The giant lizard then chases after Shirley, while the team of the professor is also met
another one.
Not long after, Shirley tries to flee from the lizard until she slides into a tree, and
tries to fire her arrows at the lizard.
Suddenly, Bayi shows up and attacks the lizard, making the opportunity for Shirley to escape
and find the others.
At the same time, the professor team is trying to flee from the lizard, and the professor
is almost killed by it, but luckily, Shirley arrives and fires the arrow at the lizard's
eye.
In addition, She lures the lizard to follow her, making the opportunity for the others
to hide.
She then runs until she meets Bayi is also running, so the two decide toward each other
and manage to pull the tree vine, making the two lizards clash the heads with each other
and unconscious.
After safe, this group gathers while the professor tells everyone that, the lizard attacks them
by using its ears, while its eyes are able to see in 3 meters.
After talking, the two lizards rewake and begin to attack them again, while this group
continues to run.
Not long after, the group arrives at the edge of the cliff, while they decide to jump into
the deep.
They then roll and crashes against many of the rock before they arrive at the bottom.
After that, they arrive at the bottom and think now is safe, but surprisingly, the bottom
of the cliff which they stand is the nest of the giant lizard.
Suddenly, the lizard begins to attack them again, but immediately, it is stunning when
it hears the thunder sound from the sky.
Seeing this, the group recognizes this creature fears the thunder sound, so they decide to
run during that time.
During running, the professor spots the floating island nearby, so he recognizes that this
is the place that they should go.
The group then hurries toward the floating island, but unfortunately, the professor clashes
with the tail of the lizard, causing him to stucks inside the tree vines.
Seeing this, everyone parts the way against the creature and wants to save the professor's
life.
Meanwhile, Bayi and Shirley arrive at the edge of the cliff, and the two believe that
they should wipe out the creature in this way.
After that, Shirley goes to lure the lizard to follow her, and she runs back to the cliff
and jumps, while Bayi waits to get her from below, causing the lizard that follows her
to fall off the cliff one by one.
Later, the two return to gather with others, while a few of the lizards still chase after
them.
They then run on the giant tree trunk, which is the only way toward the floating island.
However, the giant lizards still pursue them making the tree begin to break.
Seeing this, Bayi orders everybody to go first, while he stays behind and tries to break the
tree.
As the result, the tree begins to collapse and fortunately, Bayi manages to escape in
time, while the lizards are fallen down into the deep.
After that, this group spots that the floating island that they are standing on is very beautiful,
while there is also safety.
In addition, they decide to rest on this island for a night after they are very tired from
their journey all day.
Later that night, Shirley, Linglong, Fatty, and Gold Tooth go into the lake nearby for
a swim, while Professor Sun and Bayi chatting on the land.
The professor says that he wants to back to the city and live like the past because every
step of this journey is fully dangerous.
Hearing this, Bayi says, even though this journey is very dangerous but he stills goes
on because he wants to lift the curse and gets the right life as normal people.
The following day, this group begins to go on their journey, while on the way is very
beautiful.
But not long after, they arrive at one place surrounded by many of the coffins, while the
way which they want to go is must climb up by these coffins.
Meanwhile, they hear a noise from behind and turn around, only to see a giant lobster that
walks to nearly them.
Seeing this, the professor says that, this giant lobster doesn't get feel pain because
its nervous system is detached from its body, and it is able to heal quickly when it goes
inside the water.
After talking, the giant lobster begins to attack them while everybody tries to flee
by the best and finds the opinion to defeat the creature.
Not long after, Linglong and Fatty are attacked by the lobster but fortunately, the professor
and Gold Tooth trap the lobster by using the ropes and help the two in time.
But even though the lobster is trapped, after a moment, it is able to escape and pursues
Linglong causing her to run again.
She then climbs up the coffins to find a safe place, but unfortunately, the lobster breaks
the coffins that she stands on, causing her to drop off to the ground.
Luckily, Fatty appears in time and catches her, before the lobster walks to nearly them
and knocks the two away.
After that, the lobster returns to attack the others, while they also run away as well.
Not long after, the professor and Gold Tooth set the trap to catch the lobster again, while
Bayi and Shirley try to lure the creature.
Meanwhile, Linglong and Fatty wake up after the attack of the lobster earlier, and Linglong
suggests Fatty help the others, and he agrees.
But after Fatty leaves, it turns that, She is injured after she is knocked by the creature,
but she doesn't tell Fatty.
Jumps to the others, the professor and Gold Tooth put many of the ammunition nearby the
trap to kill the lobster.
At the same time, Bayi and Shirley are running and luring the lobster into the trap, as the
result, it is working.
The professor then throws the electrical stick toward the ammunition making an explosion,
breaking the stone, and falling to the lobster.
After that, the body of the lobster is damaged after the explosion, and it wants to turn
back to the lake to heal.
Seeing this, this group hurries to chase after the lobster and Bayi decides to jump into
the lake to pursue it.
He then swims to nearly the lobster and he cut his palm, making his blood are covered
over the lobster.
After that, he swims back to the land, while his blood spreads inside the lake making many
of the man-eaten fishes follow and kill the lobster.
After safety, Linglong goes to meet the group of heroes, while her face is so worse after
she is injured.
She then walks toward Fatty and smiles at him, before she falls to the ground.
Seeing this, this group hurries to visit her but unfortunately, everything is so late.
In the last breath, Linglong says that she always wants the couple to be handsome, but
now, she loves a fat man like Fatty instead.
She then tells Fatty to find her in the next life and she really loves him, and then she
passes away.
After that, this group takes Linglong's body into the coffin and allows her to float with
the water hole.
Meanwhile, the professor reveals that, since they journey till now, he always hides a thing
from them.
He reveals the truth that the Dragon Bone does not only have the clue of the Orb, but
the Dragon Bone also has the sentence to warn them as well.
The sentence says Those who submit will survive but who against will die.
The professor then suggests to everyone to turn back the city and spend their time left
to live as the past, because he believes that, there has nobody who is able to win the god.
After hearing this, everyone starts to vote for this choice and as a result, everyone
decides to return to the city except Bayi.
Bayi tells everyone he will doesn't give up because he wants to get the right life without
the curse even though he is able to die every step but he still continues.
He then allows the others to back to the city and he leaves them and continues the journey
alone.
Suddenly, Shirley goes to kiss him quickly and tells him that, she wants to go with him.
In addition, Fatty and Gold Tooth are also changed their mind and the two decide to go
with him.
At last, only the professor wants to return to the city, however, he still stands on his
plan.
The professor then rides on the coffin to leave there, while the heroes continue their
mission.
They then climb up the coffin and toward the top of the mountain and not long after, they
arrive at the last goal.
It turns that, this place is the tomb of the ancient king and also the place to keep the
Orb as well.
This group then wants to take the Orb, but suddenly, a group of scorpion monsters show
up and surround them.
Seeing this, everyone starts to attack the monsters by their best, while Bayi goes to
take the Orb.
Not long after, he is able to take the Orb, but suddenly, the bell which nearby begins
to tremble, causing the scorpion monsters to stun and hurry to go back.
After that, the sky turns into the dark before a massive serpent appears and wants to attack
them.
The serpent then goes to approach and looks at them, but immediately, Bayi remembers the
word which Blind Chen used to tell him to don't look at its eyes, making everybody follow
by this.
Because of this, the serpent is unable to lure them to be the blind, so the serpent
decides to attack them by violence instead.
Seeing this, the heroes hurry to run but Fatty collapses to the ground making the jar that
keeps the lightning bug king is broken making a small hole, causing his smell is spread.
Because the smell of the lightning bug king is spread causing the thousands of normal
lightning bugs to hurry to find the king quickly.
Not long after, the normal lightning bugs arrive at the scene, where the heroes are
almost wiped out by the serpent.
Meanwhile, Bayi remembers that if the lightning bug king is burned to death so all the normal
lightning bugs also come to his side and burn with him.
After remembering this, Bayi hurries to hold the jar of the king to throw into the serpent's
mouth, but unfortunately, he accidentally collapses to the ground, making the jar is
broken, and releases the king.
The king then is almost successful to fly away, but suddenly, the Professor shows up
and catches the king.
He then shows his courage by leading the thousands of lightning bugs to jump into the serpent's
mouth before he sacrifices his life.
Seeing this the others just only watch and cry while the serpent is burned alive and
everything is beginning to destroy.
Seeing this, the group hurries to escape and jumps into the water to swim away.
After safe, this group return to the city, which they also take the coffin of Linglong
back to the city as well.
Later on, the group arrives in the city and they also pray to the soul tags of Linglong
and the Professor and hope they can rest in peace.
After that, they take the two artifacts to combine with each other to lift the curse,
but surprisingly, what they get is not lift the curse, but instead, the two artifacts
reveal the new location that they must go to for the next.
Finally, the movie is ended with this scene.
