abstract
Meng Yi, the commander of Qin Dynasty, was ordered by Qin Shihuang to escort North Korean princess Yu Shu to marry Princess Qin Wei. On the way, he was ambushed by rebels secretly instructed by Prime Minister Zhao Gao. In order to protect Princess Yu Shu, Meng Yi took her hand and fell into the waterfall with the chariot.
The same dream has puzzled archaeologist Jack (Jackie Chan) for many years. In the dream, Princess Yushu (Kim Hee Seon), a woman dressed in white with elegant appearance, fascinated him even more, making him even more fascinated by Qin antiquities. One day, Jack's good friend William (Tony Leung Ka Fai), a scientist who is keen on studying supernatural energy and vows to go down in history, makes a new discovery. He invited Jack to India to participate in the study of mysterious floating forces.
In Disha Temple, the believers prostrated themselves before the coffin hanging in the air, and they were dumbfounded. William dared to remove the jewels from the altar, and the coffin immediately lost its buoyancy and broke into pieces. Jack and William were chased by the grave keeper and believers and fled for their lives. Losing his mind, Jack met an Indian girl Samantha, and Samantha took him to the monk's master for temporary shelter. The monk felt that Jack was troubled by the fate of his previous life.
Jack, eager to solve the mystery of dreams, decided to leave Samantha and return to China and Xi, the former capital of Qin Dynasty.
Jack reunited with William who survived the Qin Terracotta Warriors Museum in Xi 'an. He excitedly revealed to Jack that he found that the coffin gem could be defying gravity, so he took the buoyancy gem for himself. William even went to Mr. Gu, who smuggled tombs under the guise of academic research, to continue his research, depending on the other party's financial resources. Jack condemned William's selfish behavior. A pair of good friends who risked their lives to break up because of their beliefs.
Jack took a helicopter to Mount Li and ventured into the waterfall in the canyon. The scene was like a dream. On the other hand, William has been watching with the help of high-tech instruments. At the same time, they broke into a tunnel leading to the floating heavenly palace. Princess Yushu in the dream appeared alive in front of Jack, waiting for Yushu for thousands of years, and finally arrived. General Meng Yi, who kept his promise, came back to find her.
At this time, Mr. Gu forcibly took over the suspended heavenly palace and wanted to be an immortal emperor. William, who was enchanted, pried open the jewel on the organ in the chaos, and the Heavenly Palace suddenly lost its buoyancy, and mercury fell straight from the air and gushed out. When William was swallowed up by mercury, he asked Jack to help him finish his research and gave Jack a piece of ore when he died. When Yu Shu knew that Jack was not Meng Yi, he decided to wait for Meng Yi to come back.
Mr. Gu boarded the Heavenly Palace to get the elixir of life, but was dragged down by Yan Zi of Nangong and fell into the abyss, and Mr. Gu's dream of immortality was shattered. Jack jumped out of the tunnel with the help of buoyancy that had not completely disappeared and fell into the deep pool of the canyon. When he woke up, he found himself washed to the cobblestone beach in the canyon by the current. Six months later, Jack wrote a book, Myth.
