Chapter 380: Living Monument

"yes, how did I forget about the ghost boy. The ghost boy was originally in this ancient tomb, and his relationship with the owner of the tomb was somewhat extraordinary, so he would definitely know something about the white jade lotus coffin. Li Huiyan slapped her forehead and said with a sudden realization.

"Yes, yes, rice cake, hurry up and call the ghost boy out." Xiao Yue also shouted on the side.

"This ...... I didn't know how to contact the ghost boy, let alone how to call him out. I was embarrassed and said.

It's a shame to say that, but that's exactly what it is. Yao Ling'er and the ghost boy, as well as those spirits, were attached to the grimace birthmark on my back, but I didn't have any sense at all, and I didn't know how to contact these guys.

"If you really can't do it, just wait, I remember that as soon as you needed it just now, Yao Ling'er and the ghost boy would appear. I guess you can't sense them, but they know what's going on in your mind. Li Huiyan said.

"That's the only way to do it now, but it's not a way to wait like this, you have to set a time. If the ghost boy appears within the allotted time, we will stay here, and if the ghost boy does not appear, we will find a way to enter the next tomb. I said.

Although we now have two powerful helpers, the Ghost-faced Spider and the Yin Snake, I am still a little afraid of those tomb robbers, and it is better to meet them as late as possible if it is not necessary, at least to give us more time to prepare.

"Well, then ten minutes, if the ghost boy doesn't appear in ten minutes, we'll find a way to enter the next tomb." Li Huiyan nodded and said.

In my heart, I still really want to see what the white jade lotus coffin Li Huiyan said looks like.

Since even Qin Shi Huang once thought of using the white jade lotus coffin as a coffin, it proves that the white jade lotus coffin is indeed a bit special, and if you can see it with your own eyes, you naturally don't want to miss it.

Until now, the white jade lotus coffin we see is just a large white ball inlaid with jade pieces, and we can't see anything related to the white jade lotus.

"Well, but we can't stand here, we still have to find something to do, or let's find a secret door to the next tomb now." I thought about it and said.

"Well, it's good to find the secret door in advance, whether you can open the white jade lotus coffin or not, this is to be done anyway." Li Huiyan said.

So we began to search the chamber again, this time much more carefully than we had just done.

Because of the previous lesson, I did not have the slightest carelessness when looking for the secret door, not only carefully observing the stone wall in front of me, but also paying attention to the movements in other places in the tomb.

If it weren't for my luck just now, most of them would have been pierced through the chest by the crossbow arrows by now, so naturally I don't want to take another risk.

After five minutes, we searched almost all the corners of the chamber, but the results were unsatisfactory, and we couldn't find any secret doors.

You must know that we have passed through so many ancient tombs, and most of the mechanisms leading to the next tomb are in the burial chamber where the coffins are placed, and there are few exceptions.

"Didn't you all get anything?" I asked the crowd.

"No, the stone walls have been carefully inspected, and I have carefully checked everything suspicious several times, but nothing has been gained." Li Huiyan shook her head and said.

"Me too, I've seen all the places I should see, and I haven't found any mechanisms." Qin Gong followed and said.

Except for Li Huiyan and Qin Gong, the other three also shook their heads, saying that they had no gain.

"Let's wait and see, if it really doesn't work, let the ghost-faced spider help find the secret door, with its natural ability to discern directions, it should know where the secret door is." I said.

Everyone was busy for a long time, and they didn't find the mechanism to open the white jade lotus coffin, nor did they find the secret door that led to the next ancient tomb, which couldn't help but make people a little discouraged.

Could it be that the white jade lotus coffin actually can't be opened, and there is no secret door to the next ancient tomb here?

I thought to myself. As soon as this thought came to my head, I shook my head again and again. To say that there is no secret door to the next ancient tomb here, this is a little more possible, but to say that there is no way to open the white jade lotus coffin, I will not believe anything.

If the white jade lotus coffin can't be opened, then how can the corpse in the white jade lotus coffin be put in, it's impossible to get into it through those cracks on the surface of the white jade lotus coffin, it's impossible to think about it.

"Sister Lizi, I'm hungry." Xiao Yue said with a bitter face on the side. As soon as the words fell, I heard a gurgling sound from Xiao Yue's stomach, which didn't look like it was pretending.

Having said that, nearly ten hours have passed since we entered the Tomb Road again, and it is normal for us to be hungry.

Not to mention that Xiao Yue was hungry, even I felt a little hungry. But even so, everyone can only endure for the time being, after all, there is nothing to eat in this ancient tomb, and the only thing that can still be eaten is the bottles of mineral water that we brought with us.

"I still have half a bottle of water here, if you're hungry, drink it, you should be able to hold on a little longer." Li Huiyan said.

"No, you can't fill your stomach with water." Xiao Yue shook his head again and again and said.

"Then there is no way, bear with me a little longer, it's the eighth tomb now, and we can get out of here with two more tombs. Wait until you leave the tomb and have a good meal. Li Huiyan comforted.

Xiao Yue pouted and didn't speak, sulking to herself. You must know that Xiao Yue never leaves snacks on weekdays, and people give her the nickname Snack King, and every time she follows us, she has to be hungry, but she is really wronged.

"In three minutes, if the ghost boy doesn't show up, we'll have to get out of here." Li Huiyan glanced at the time and said.

"That being said, but how do we get out of here, we haven't found the secret door to the next tomb right now." I said.

"I have a hunch that the secret door must be in this tomb, but I haven't found it for the time being." Li Huiyan said.

I nodded and didn't say anything more. In fact, I didn't know that most of the secret doors leading to the next ancient tomb were in this tomb.

But knowing is knowing, and it is only useful to really find it, otherwise it is meaningless to say more.

Time passed minute by minute, and it was getting closer and closer to the time we had just set for ourselves, whether it was Yao Ling'er or the ghost boy, they never appeared.

I couldn't help but get a little anxious, what would we do if the ghost boy didn't show up after the allotted time.

"Sister Xiaoyan, I have something to say." At this moment, Dong Shuang, who had not spoken, spoke.

"Say whatever you want." Li Huiyan said.

"I just want to say, will the mechanism that opened the secret door be hidden in this white jade lotus coffin?" Dong Shuang hesitated for a moment, and then said.

"The mechanism that opened the secret door was hidden in the white jade lotus coffin? It's possible to hear you say that, but I've ignored it. When Li Huiyan heard this, she patted her forehead and said.

Not only Li Huiyan, but everyone else nodded secretly after hearing Dong Shuang's words, and they all felt that Dong Shuang's words were very reasonable.

In my opinion, not only the mechanism that opens the secret door may be inside the white jade lotus coffin, but it is very likely that the secret door that leads to the next ancient tomb is actually this white jade lotus coffin.

In this way, it can also explain why we have been searching in the tomb for half a day and have never found anything, most likely because the mechanism is not in the tomb.

The more I thought about it, the more it made sense, and it seemed like that was probably it.

"I think Dong Shuang's words are very reasonable, what do you think?" I asked the crowd.

"I also think it should be like this, the secret passage leading to the next ancient tomb is likely to be this white jade lotus coffin." Li Huiyan said.

"In this case, we will have to open the white jade lotus coffin and take a look, only in this way can we verify whether the conjecture is correct or not." Qin Gong said.

As soon as Qin Gong's words fell, a burning sensation suddenly came from the birthmark on my back. The next moment, there were two more short voices on the ground near the white jade lotus coffin in the tomb, it was Yao Ling'er and the ghost boy.

"You're out, we've been waiting for you for a long time." Seeing Yao Ling'er and the ghost boy, I was very happy and said.

But no one answered my words. The ghost boy stood in front of the white jade lotus coffin, looking at it with a very complicated expression, while Yao Ling'er was standing behind her, patting the ghost boy's head with her little hand.

"Xiao Yan, you said that the person buried in this white jade lotus coffin should also be the elder brother of the ghost boy, right?" I whispered in Li Huiyan's ear.

"Chances are, the ghost boy's performance is indeed a bit unusual." When Li Huiyan heard this, she also replied in a low voice.

I couldn't help but mutter, if this was true, it would be a little strange.

The one in the ice coffin is the sixth brother of the ghost boy, and now there is another person who is likely to be his brother, could it be that these three brothers are all funeral companions?

If that's the case, then the ghost boy's parents are inevitably too ruthless. In addition to that, there is one more thing that strikes me as a little strange.

The coffins we see in the ancient tombs are completely different from the coffins we saw on the murals before, whether they were carved at random by the original tomb builders, or whether the tomb owner could order, this is a little unknown.

"Little guy, don't be sad yet, I want to ask if you can help us open this white jade lotus coffin." I walked up behind the ghost boy and asked in a whisper.

The ghost boy didn't look back, just nodded. The next moment, I saw the ghost boy stretching out his hand and gently swiping his fingertips on the white jade lotus coffin.

At first I didn't see anything, but after a few moments I realized that the places that the ghost boy had crossed were connected to form some mysterious shape, or rather, a map.

"Lotus blossoms!" After a while, when the ghost boy removed his fingers from the white jade lotus coffin, he said slowly.
