Shang-Chi: 21 WTF Moments
11. The Pendants Create A Water Map To Ta Lo
Wenwu reveals to his children that he believes their mother Li (Fala Chen) is still alive and being imprisoned in her home village of Ta Lo.
He also confirms that the reason he wanted to take both of the green pendants they were given by their mother is because, when they're placed inside a dragon statue at his compound, they will reveal the path through a treacherous forest maze in order to reach Ta Lo.
By inserting the pendants into the statue, the path is revealed by a sea of "dragon water vomit," as Katy calls it, confirming to him both the route through the maze and the time at which the passage into Ta Lo will open.
