90: Chapter 90 The number of graves Ye has fallen on is more than the number of meals you've eaten.

The black wooden coffin was made of wood that had been scorched black by lightning—what is known as lightning-struck wood.

The ancients had varying views and opinions regarding this kind of lightning-struck wood.

To the Gongshu Family, this lightning-struck wood contained a spirit that had violated "Heavenly Law," so heaven sent down lightning to strike the spirit within the wood into ashes!

Without the "wood spirit," and given that ninety-nine was considered by the ancients to be the ultimate number.

It could completely isolate the "wood spirit" from being detected.

They would no longer need to fulfill the contract, allowing them to safely be reincarnated!

Thinking of this, Ye Xiao could not help but turn his gaze back to the Live Stream Room, his eyes filled with a hint of confusion.

"If he was a member of the Gongshu Family, his name should have been... Gongshu Liang! Why did he change his surname to Ye?"

After pondering it for a while with no results, Ye Xiao stopped dwelling on it.

Instead, he turned his gaze back to the Live Stream Room.

At this moment, Professor Yang and the rest of the Archaeological Team had already begun to observe the great hall.

In the niches of the walls, one golden Buddha statue after another could not help but inspire a sense of solemnity.

However, it was quite obvious that this great hall must be the Leiyin Temple of the Western Heaven!

Its appearance here truly made one suspicious.

But in this great hall, apart from these Buddha statues, there was nothing else.

There were no murals recorded either.

Therefore, there was no information available to study.

After some observation and research yielded no results, everyone gave up.

After saving some photos and video footage, they gathered the team, preparing to leave the great hall.

But it was only at this moment that the Archaeological Team suddenly realized something.

There... seemed to be no exit in this great hall at all!

The only passage they had entered through had been completely blocked by the walls moved by the Bagua Array.

Immediately, the Archaeological Team began to search within the great hall.

Originally, similar halls within a Bagua Array usually had two doors facing each other, allowing one to see the external passage at the first glance upon entering the hall.

However, it was different here; the place opposite where the exit should have been had turned into a statue of the Tathagata.

There was not the slightest sign of an exit.

In this instant, everyone present was plunged into deep confusion.

"Why has the place where the exit of this great hall was originally located... now turned into a statue?"

At this time, the Archaeological Team had gathered under the lotus throne of the Tathagata.

Everyone was searching around, thinking that a mechanism to open the passage might exist here.

But after searching for a long time, they still had not found the location of the mechanism, which could not help but make the Archaeological Team feel a bit disheartened.

Ye Xiao was also carefully observing every detail he could see in this great hall.

It was certain that a passage existed here.

Because the remains of Ye Liang, also known as Gongshu Liang, were not in this great hall.

In other words, he had left this great hall.

Therefore, he must have found the exit in this great hall.

"But, where... exactly is the location of this passage?"

Ye Xiao muttered to himself in his heart, falling into deep thought.

Meanwhile, the audience in the Live Stream Room, seeing this scene, could not help but become agitated.

"They finally made it out of the array, only to be trapped again! Tsk tsk tsk!"

"Come on! They are just one step away from the finish line!"

"What a pity! If Ye Dao were down in the tomb, he would surely be able to see the mystery of this at a glance!"

"That's right! Without bragging, Ye Dao has been in more tombs than you have had meals!"

"Uh, this... that seems a bit exaggerated! But it doesn't seem wrong either! I agree!"

Below in the tomb, the Archaeological Team had broken into smaller groups, scattering throughout the great hall to search.

They had almost checked every brick and every statue, yet they still had not found the mechanism.

The members of the Archaeological Team could not help but feel a bit discouraged.

One of the team members sat on the ground and said somewhat helplessly: "We can't find the mechanism at all! Could it be that there is no mechanism in this great hall?"

As soon as these words were spoken, the other experts stopped and looked at Professor Yang one after another.

They had also been searching for a long time, and they had checked all the places where a mechanism might exist.

However, they still had not found it.

So for a moment, they could not help but doubt whether there was any mechanism here at all!

Or perhaps, the builder of this great tomb simply did not want them to leave, so they specifically blocked off this great hall!

Seeing this, Professor Yang's expression suddenly darkened, and he sternly scolded: "Get up! What kind of talk is that?"

"If Senior Ye Liang could get out of this great hall, it means that a mechanism must exist in this great hall! It's just that we haven't found it yet!"

"If you don't want to be trapped here, get up and continue searching for the mechanism!"

After this scolding from Professor Yang, the team member hurriedly stood up and began to search the great hall again.

Meanwhile, at the Symposium, Ye Xiao had already returned the headset to Professor Zhou.

Since he had already come out of the Bagua Array, there was no need for Ye Xiao to keep occupying the headset.

After all, the person truly in charge of the Symposium was Professor Zhou, not him.

After this hurdle was passed, Ye Xiao returned to his seat, watching the Archaeological Team search for the mechanism in the great hall.

Professor Zhou gathered many professors, sitting around the conference table to watch the video of the great hall.

They began to search for the possible location of the mechanism for this great hall within the video.

Professor Zhou intended to invite Ye Xiao, but was smilingly refused by Ye Xiao.

Ye Xiao also knew that these experts might not be able to accept his views.

So Ye Xiao habitually thought about it on his own.

At this time, the audience in the Live Stream Room also began to transform into "know-it-alls," using their half-baked knowledge to guess where the mechanism might be.

"I think the mechanism here must be at the Buddha!"

"Forget it, based on my experience from binge-watching multiple Ye Dao movies, the mechanism is least likely to be at the Buddha!"

"Look at these Sakura Country soldiers, they all died here; it's obvious they were just clearing the way for us!"

"But... in the original great hall, the direction of the passage was the direction of the Tathagata, right? This shouldn't change, right?"

"I actually think a certain Buddha statue should be able to rotate; you should all try it!"

Watching the heated discussion among the audience in the Live Stream Room, Ye Xiao could not help but fall into deep thought again.

Actually, he felt that the predecessor among them had not left by finding a mechanism.

The Gongshu Family had a unique ability to communicate with wood spirits, and in ancient times, the building materials in many places often utilized wood tiles.

Therefore, this predecessor of the Gongshu Family must have used the wood spirit to find the weak point of this great hall.

And finally succeeded in leaving this great hall.

It's just that... it must have been to prevent the Sakura Country soldiers from making a comeback, so after the Gongshu predecessor broke through the great hall, he used his superb craftsmanship to restore it.

How difficult it would be to find it!
