The three siblings turned on the lights and walked a short distance into the passageway, where they found themselves in a spacious hall.
The walls of the hall were made of large, flat stones, and no doors or entrances were found.
Xiaoxi and the others took out the treasure map, which showed an entrance in the northeast direction, but the stone wall was smooth and they couldn't see a door.
This puzzled Xiaoxi. She wondered if the hall would collapse if she forced her way through the wall.
Apart from her being the highest-ranking person here, only the sixth brother has some cultivation, while the second brother is just a complete novice.
Xiaoxi still didn't dare to take the risk. Besides, the hall had collapsed. Even if they had the ability to escape, they wouldn't be able to get their hands on the treasure. Wouldn't that be a waste of time?
So the three of them stopped and sat down on the ground to think of a solution.
Ye Zhongnan: "In folk tradition, auspicious numbers are three, six, and nine, or as the saying goes, things don't happen more than three times. We found maps in the 'Travelers of the Western Hills' and ancient martial arts manuals. Is there a third thing needed to open this passage?"
"Yes, Second Brother, your idea is absolutely correct!"
I don't think Prince Gong would leave any treasures in that passageway for no reason. Maybe among the treasures he collected yesterday, there's something that can open this wall?
When Ye Yanche heard what they said, he also felt that it made sense.
"We'll find out if it works or not by trying."
Ye Yanche released all his treasures again with a whoosh.
Xiao Xi used her spiritual power to make all the treasures fly out of the box.
Under the lighting, these glittering golden creatures flying around the hall were quite a spectacular sight.
Then all the treasures fell down with a clatter, leaving an inconspicuous bronze mirror still hanging in the air.
"This is it!" Xiaoxi picked up the bronze mirror with one hand.
She had experience in this area; wasn't it the bronze mirror that cleared the way in Fifth Brother's tomb? Xiaoxi kept trying to find the right position by pointing the lighting equipment in front of the bronze mirror.
Sure enough, the outline of the entrance gate to the passage was seen in the bronze mirror.
Under Xiaoxi's direction, Sixth Brother, being strong, carried the bricks down one by one, and sure enough, a dark passage appeared ahead.
This passage matches the map perfectly.
Sixth Brother wiped his sweat. "That Prince Gong is really too cunning, but he can't beat the wisdom of the three of us siblings."
Xiaoxi agreed with this statement in her heart, but she didn't say it out loud. She became more cautious and reminded Sixth Brother to keep a low profile.
They followed the passage and saw many forks in the road.
However, with a map and knowing that the forks in the road were meant to confuse those who wanted to steal the treasure, the three siblings followed the route on the map and finally arrived at the center of the treasure's location.
Ye Yanche and Ye Zhongnan were completely shocked. This hall was three times larger than the entrance hall they had just entered, and the sparkling treasures dazzled their eyes.
Xiaoxi casually opened a box and found neatly arranged large gold bricks—yes, gold bricks, not gold bars.
Opening another box revealed a box full of large, plump pearls, interspersed with luminous pearls the size of ping-pong balls. Some of these pearls were even as large as shot puts, with the largest being the size of a small basketball.
Ye Yanche was so excited that he kept rummaging through the box, exclaiming "Holy crap!" repeatedly.
Ye Zhongnan was much calmer. "Sixth Brother Xiaoxi, we've become rich overnight. We can't stay here long. You two should hurry up and pack up. Let's leave."
