Although the skin on the corpse looked a little golden, it was indeed human skin.

After all, the folds left on the skin by the evaporation of water were all clear, how could the gold mask be made like this, in my opinion, the corpse was only smeared with a layer of gold dust at most.

Li Huiyan now said that there was a golden mask on the face of the corpse, and I couldn't believe it.

"If you don't believe it, see for yourself." Li Huiyan spread her hands, stood up and said. I nodded, I really had to verify it myself, otherwise I wouldn't believe that there was any golden mask on the corpse's face.

Then I crouched down and tapped lightly on the corpse's face, making the same sound of gold and iron clashing as before.

Then I scratched the corpse's face twice with my fingernails, and it was extremely hard to the touch, and I didn't scrape off anything like gold dust as I had imagined.

Then, I took a closer look at the position behind the left ear of the corpse, and soon had an unexpected gain.

I saw that under the earlobe of the corpse, there was a vertical slit that extended to the neck of the corpse.

Then I looked at the other side, and I saw the same scene. I hesitated, reached out and touched the back of the slit, and the feeling of my hand was a little soft, like a rubbery feeling, which was completely different from the feeling of touching the cheek of a corpse.

After repeating this many times, I was finally able to determine that there was indeed a golden mask on the corpse's cheek, and it seemed to fit very tightly.

"Xiao Yan, you're right, this is really a golden mask." I looked up and said to Li Huiyan.

"Well, and it's not an ordinary golden mask, have you noticed that this golden mask is burned red and burned directly on the corpse's face, which makes it completely fit with the corpse's cheeks." Li Huiyan nodded and said.

When I was looking at the corpse's cheeks just now, I noticed that there were still some blackened spots on the top of the golden mask, which should be the marks left by the fire.

Although the person who buried the body had done their best to wipe it down, there were still some places that were not wiped clean.

"That's true, but why is that? Why did the owner of the tomb brand a golden mask on the face of this corpse, could it be for some other purpose? I was puzzled.

"I don't know what the purpose of this golden mask is, but I guess it must be some kind of special funeral custom, just like the pharaohs of ancient Egypt would wear a golden mask when they died." Li Huiyan thought for a while and said.

"What does this have to do with ancient Egypt, the two are separated by 108,000 miles, it is impossible that the owner of this tomb learned this custom from ancient Egypt." I said.

Although the Han Dynasty was powerful and had more or less dealings with many surrounding countries, I would not believe it if I learned this golden mask from Egypt.

"I'm just giving you an example, it doesn't have to be that way. In fact, the funeral ceremonies in ancient times were much the same, especially the funerals of nobles were mostly known for their luxury, and the golden mask should be just a coincidence. Li Huiyan said.

I nodded, and continued to look at the golden mask. Judging from the gap behind the corpse, the texture of this golden mask is extremely thin, estimated to be only about one or two millimeters, and there is almost no difference on the corpse's face.

Originally, I wanted to find some other clues from the golden mask, but after staring at the golden mask for a long time, I didn't find anything special.

No words or symbols were found on the gold mask, and it seemed that it was really just a special funerary object used to decorate the corpse.

"Xiao Yan, did you say that this golden mask was branded before his death or after his death?" I asked Li Huiyan.

"It should have been branded within an hour or two after death, after all, the golden mask needs to be heated before it can be burned, and it is unlikely that such a thing will be done before death." Li Huiyan thought for a while and said.

I've always been right, if you burned the gold mask on your face before you died, it is estimated that the high temperature can directly burn people to death.

Even if the owner of the tomb was cruel, it was unlikely that he would do such a thing, and it was a little creepy just to think about it.

As for the origin of this corpse, we all know that it is the third brother of the ghost boy, but why the three brothers are willing to bury people, until now I am a little confused.

The gold mask is beautifully made, and it should be made according to the appearance of the corpse before it was alive, so that it fits perfectly with the corpse's face.

This, combined with the fact that the gold mask is so thin, didn't notice it at first, until I accidentally touched the corpse's cheek and was able to spot it.

"Kid, does your brother like to wear a mask?" I thought about it for a moment and asked the ghost boy.

"I don't like it." The ghost boy shook his head and said. I didn't ask any more questions, since the owner of the corpse did not like to wear a mask in front of him, then this golden mask was probably prepared for him by the owner of the tomb, and not because he liked it himself.

At this moment, Li Huiyan suddenly sighed, as if she had discovered something.

"Zhang Sansan, Qin Gong, come and see if this lotus pod has grown a little more?" Li Huiyan said.

Hearing this, Qin Gong and I looked at the lotus canopy on the top of the corpse's head at the same time, and sure enough, we found that it was a little different from before.

At first, when we saw the lotus pod, it was still green, but now it is a little less cyan and slowly changing to dark green.

In addition, the size of the lotus canopy is indeed larger than just now, and it is almost almost completely blocked the hole above the corpse's head.

"It seems that this lotus canopy is really alive, this is a bit magical, where did it absorb the nutrients, it can't rely on this corpse alone." I was amazed.

"It should be like this, but it should also have something to do with this white jade lotus coffin, and most of the other end of the lotus canopy is also connected to this white jade lotus coffin." Li Huiyan said.

That being said, we didn't have the fool's heart to see what was going on. Not only because I had promised the ghost boy just now that he would not touch the corpse of his third brother indiscriminately, but also because we were in awe of everything in the ancient tomb.

Although it is amazing to have a lotus flower growing inside the corpse, the more it is like this, the more dangerous it may be, and it is better not to touch it for the sake of your own life.

Li Huiyan obviously had the same idea, but she just glanced at the lotus pod a few times, but she didn't mean to touch it.

"Sister Lizi, when will we leave here, it's been so long." Xiao Yue's lazy voice came.

"Wait, we haven't found the trap and the secret door yet." Li Huiyan said.

"Okay then, but hurry up, I'm already grumbling with hunger." Xiao Yue said. Li Huiyan didn't say anything more, and my gaze temporarily moved from the lotus canopy to the side.

If it weren't for Xiao Yue's reminder, I would have almost forgotten that the purpose of our entry into the White Jade Lotus Coffin was to find the mechanism.

We had already searched carefully in the tomb just now, but we didn't find any mechanism leading to the ninth tomb, and most of them should be hidden in this white jade lotus coffin.

"Since this is the case, let's look for it separately, and enter the next tomb as soon as possible, so as not to run into those tomb robbers." I said to Li Huiyan and Qin Gong.

"Well, I have a gut feeling that those grave robbers aren't too far away from us." Li Huiyan said.

"I've heard that girls have good instincts, and I hope you will do the same this time." I said half-jokingly.

In fact, we all know in our hearts that sooner or later we will meet those tomb robbers. However, everyone also had a bit of luck in their hearts, and it would be best to meet those tomb robbers later, otherwise it would be difficult to predict what would happen.

Because of the ghost-faced spider and the yin snake, I don't have as much fear of tomb robbers as I used to be, anyway, the soldiers will block the water and cover the earth, as long as they don't bombard indiscriminately with explosives, we have a better chance of winning.

If they hadn't seen it with their own eyes, those tomb robbers would definitely not know that the ghost-faced spider and the yin snake had such strange and terrifying strength, and they would definitely suffer a lot if they were careless.

And we have long been on guard against those tomb robbers, so we can naturally avoid many accidents.

Without saying anything more, Li Huiyan and Qin Gong and I began to carefully examine the white jade lotus coffin, hoping to find the mechanism to open the ninth tomb.

There are three layers of white jade lotus coffin, and we must carefully search for each layer, and we can't miss any clues, which also makes us dare not have any distractions when looking for it, and we don't even dare to say a word.

After about five or six minutes, the three of us stopped one after another. No need to ask, I can already judge from the expressions on the faces of Li Huiyan and Qin Gong that neither of them has gained anything.

"Since there is no mechanism hidden on the white jade lotus coffin, most of the mechanisms leading to the ninth tomb are hidden on this corpse, it seems that we have to break our promise to the ghost boy just now, we must move this corpse." I said.

"This doesn't seem to be good, at least you should get the permission of the ghost boy." Li Huiyan said.

"It's natural, I'll make things clear to him." I said. Immediately afterward, I started talking to the ghost boy.

At first, the ghost boy didn't agree with us moving his third brother's body, and it didn't work for a long time for me to say it, until Yao Ling'er finally whispered a word in his ear, and the ghost boy nodded and agreed.

"Zhang Sansan, look at the back of the corpse's hand, it seems that there is something." I had just finished talking to the ghost boy when Li Huiyan's voice came into my ears.

"There was nothing on the back of the corpse's hands except for a few folds." I stared at the back of the corpse's hand for a long time, but I didn't find anything, so I said.
