As they walked, Zhang Li explained in a low voice.

"This ancient tomb has been dug into before. There are several robbers' tunnels, but the Archaeological Team couldn't get through them easily. They were all too narrow, and there was no way to bring equipment through. The tomb robbers who damaged this place must have been fairly small and skinny."

"What we're walking through now is the Sacred Way."

"A sacred way is another kind of tomb passage. It leads to the actual tomb entrance. When the collapse happened, everyone had only just entered the tomb..."

"We can't get inside. There's no way to reach the coffin."

"If Yi Ren, Zhu Qianqian, and I had been any slower, we probably would've been buried too."

"Yes, the others from the convoy were all helping carry the equipment inside that day. They were buried alive. Only Brother Xu was outside, so he escaped."

Zhang Li was panicking, and his explanation was somewhat disjointed.

What Luo Bin gathered was that the collapsed passage blocked the way to the coffin.

That brought him some relief.

In that case, even if Si had bewitched Chen Xianxian, there was no way they could reach the coffin!

His conclusion that there had to be a coffin, and a corpse, came from Qin Jiumo's note.

Evil spirit heart extraction, heart-for-heart exchange.

He was an evil spirit, digging out Gu Yiren's heart to exchange it for another.

Whose heart?

The heart had to belong to a person or a corpse.

It couldn't belong to any of them.

And this was a tomb, so it could only belong to the corpse
