Zhang Qilin nodded without saying a word. He then exerted a sudden force, inserting two fingers into the stone door and starting to turn it.

After a series of mechanical turning sounds, a loud "boom" was heard, and the octagonal stone door suddenly contracted in all eight directions, revealing an entrance.

The moment the stone door opened, Aning and Fatty immediately turned their flashlights so that the light could shine inside.

Behind the stone gate is a tomb chamber of over 100 square meters, densely packed with small coffins.

These coffins are exactly the same as the one Zhang Hao and his group found when they first entered the tomb.

"Normally, only one pair of golden boys and jade maidens are buried with the deceased. There are at least a hundred small coffins here. Who on earth would need so many golden boys and jade maidens?"

Even the fat man, with his strong heart, was shocked by the scene before him.

"The ancients were truly foolish; even after death, they continued to harm people, because hundreds of their babies lost their lives in vain."

Wu Tianzhen was furious when she saw the room full of small coffins.

"Alright, let's go in and see what's going on, why the little rice dumpling led us here."

Zhang Hao said something and then walked into the tomb chamber.

As soon as I stepped into the tomb, I felt the temperature drop a few degrees and a chilly wind was blowing around me.

He approached a small coffin, lifted the lid, and found the body of a newborn baby lying inside, the umbilical cord still attached.

The fat man looked puzzled upon seeing the corpse: "That's not right, the Golden Boy and Jade Girl wouldn't have talismans drawn on their bodies."

Zhang Hao also sensed something was wrong. When he saw the corpse, he felt that something was off, but he couldn't quite put his finger on it.

At this moment, Yi Sa and Ding Yudie stepped forward and began gesturing at the corpse in the coffin.

"Quick, open the other coffins and see if the situation is the same inside!"

Yi Sa gave the instructions to Ding Yudie.

"Okay, Sasa."

Ding Yudie responded and hurriedly opened the lids of the nearby coffins, only to find that the situation inside each coffin was the same.

Inside lay the corpses of infants, their bodies covered in talismans.

“I saw it in an ancient book. It’s a spirit-sealing talisman that seals a person’s soul inside the body. As long as the power of the talisman remains, the soul will not perish.”

Yi Sa actually recognized the talisman.

If she wasn't mistaken, the little rice dumpling had lured Zhang Hao and the others over so they could help remove the talismans from their bodies.

Yi Sa had the same idea as Zhang Hao; she directly wiped off the talismans on the corpse with her hand.

The next second she rolled her eyes, as if she had become a different person, and said in a deep voice:

"Unfortunately, this body doesn't have much time left; I need to get a new one!"

"not good!"

Seeing Yi Sa's reaction, Zhang Hao immediately understood what was going on.

These infant corpses were not buried with the emperor and his concubines, but were containers used to store consciousness and memories!

According to Yi Sa, the abilities of the Water Demons in the Water Demon Clan are getting weaker with each generation, and by their generation, they don't even change their temperament much.

From this, we can infer that the consciousness of so-called gods is not immortal.

As time goes by, consciousness will become weaker and weaker, and eventually it will not even be able to forcibly possess another person's body.

Therefore, they need a container that can store consciousness.

Yes, the seal of the tomb raider is true, the ancestral tablet of the three surnames water demon is true, and so are these babies whose bodies are covered with talismans.

They store their consciousness in special containers, which should slow down the weakening of consciousness, giving them enough time to find a new body.

Depending on the container, the delaying effect can vary in strength.

The Faqiu Seal must be the most effective item; otherwise, they wouldn't have destroyed the entire Faqiu Clan just for it.

The Faqiu Sect has a history spanning thousands of years and possesses profound cultural heritage. Even if it were to be destroyed, it must have come at a tremendous cost.

The fact that someone would try to seize the Tomb Raider Seal even when they already possessed the Ancestral Token further confirms this point.
