Since the path to the temple hall was not outside the main hall, then it should still be inside the hall. With so many people searching for it, why was there no result?

Meng Xiaodie felt that there were two possibilities. The first one was that the passage was a critical point, and the secret door mechanism had to be set up in a very secret way, so it was hard for them to find it at the moment. The second one was that they found the wrong direction, maybe the secret door mechanism wasn't set up on the wall at all.

The group began to search along the four walls again. The green-eyed dwarf jumped up and down like a monkey. He pressed down all the doubts he had but nothing happened.

"I think the hidden mechanism isn't on the wall. It might be somewhere else." The green-eyed dwarf waved his hand.

"Where do you think it will be?" Shen Hong asked.

The green-eyed dwarf rolled his eyes and chuckled, "From what I see, there probably isn't a tunnel in this hall. If there is, then that giant head might be the most likely."

The green-eyed dwarf was still insisting on his view, but his last sentence caught Meng Xiaodie's attention. After all, the green-eyed dwarf was an expert who had opened the secret door. He had a unique vision, and some things could hardly escape his eyes.

Hearing Meng Xiaodie ask him, he repeated, "That big picture is most likely the passageway."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Bufan laughed, "Stop bullshitting here. It's not like we haven't been in there before, how can we not see through the passageway?"

"You don't understand. If you see the secret door, it would be called the secret door? It would be better to call it the gateway. " The green-eyed dwarf rushed towards Jiang Bufan and laughed.

The green-eyed dwarf's words reminded Meng Xiaodie. He raised his head to look at the human head sculpture, but the mouth of the human head sculpture was still open like a hole, and all the statues and ornaments in the entire hall had disappeared, so why did it still exist? This explained things very well, perhaps as the green-eyed dwarf said, the secret door was in the mouth of the human head sculpture.

Thinking about this, Meng Xiaodie said to Jiang Bufan, "What the green-eyed dwarf said is not unreasonable. In this hall, the human head sculpture is the easiest to set up a secret door, and it is also the easiest to be discovered."

"What's wrong, Meng Xiaodie? Do you believe his words or listen to his nonsense?" Jiang Bufan said in surprise.

"Won't we know whether it's true or false if we go up to take a look?" Meng Xiaodie replied.

After he finished speaking, he jumped into the statue's mouth, followed by Jiang Bufan and the green-eyed dwarf.

The three of them did not move the skeleton, but carefully walked around it. They looked at it, and aside from the two rows of teeth that were carved to perfection, the tongue and throat had been carved out as well, but the throat was closed, and there was no hole at all. The green-eyed dwarf was worried, so he took out a fire piston, lit it, and used the light to look at it closely.

"I say, there's no hidden door in the mouth of this person's profile picture. This is just a statue, don't worry. How can there be an hidden door?" Jiang Bufan's words were laced with scorn and mockery.

The green-eyed dwarf was not convinced. He once again walked to his throat and used his hands to carelessly press down on it. There was still no movement. He moved his tongue, but there was no movement.

Jiang Bufan hugged his shoulder and sneered as he watched the Green Eyed Dwarf bouncing back and forth.

"Forget it. Let's go down. It's too hot in here." The green-eyed dwarf wiped the sweat from his forehead and jumped down.

Meng Xiaodie and Jiang Bufan also jumped down. If there was no secret door in the head statue's mouth, where would it be? Meng Xiaodie was confused for a moment. She raised her head and looked at the statue. Jiang Bufan beside her said, "Don't look anymore, there can't be a hidden door. Shall we look for another one?"

Shen Hong saw the three of them jump out with a face full of regret. Even though she knew there was no hope, she still couldn't help asking, "Did you not find the hidden door mechanism?"

The green-eyed dwarf shook his head and said to Shen Hong, "Miss Shen, I'll take a look outside the Venus Palace. Maybe I can find the way."

Meng Xiaodie and Shen Hong did not speak. They could be considered to have tacitly agreed to the green-eyed dwarf's request. The green-eyed dwarf brought Yue Peng out of the Hall of Gold.

The secret door could not be found and everything was in vain. Meng Xiaodie walked around the hall once again and then retreated, her eyes still staring at the statue. For a moment, it was as if they had entered a dead end. Everyone had nothing to do as they lay on the ground, waiting for Shen Hong to speak.

At this moment, Shen Hong's heart was also burning with anxiety. She asked Meng Xiaodie, "This secret door isn't inside the hall. Is it really outside the hall?"

At this moment, Meng Xiaodie was not sure either, because she had already searched through every inch of the hall. If she did not find anything, then, was it really as the green-eyed dwarf had said, outside the Hall of Gold?

Just as Meng Xiaodie was about to answer Shen Hong's question, he saw the shrimp chatting with Wei Lin. It opened its mouth, revealing a row of missing front teeth. His eyes lit up as he said to Shen Hong, "Wait here for a moment, I'll go up and take a look."

Meng Xiaodie jumped back into the mouth of the statue.

Jiang Bufan shook his head and said with a smile, "If you can't see the coffin, you won't cry. You won't die until you reach the bottom of the Yellow River."

He looked at the two rows of neatly carved teeth, which were pulled out one by one. When they reached the penultimate cavity, he actually pulled out the tooth, which was like a long stick, reaching half a foot high, and with a creaking sound, a hole opened up in the closed throat of the statue. Just as Meng Xiaodie wanted to scream out loud, two bright silver arrows shot out from the hole.

Seeing the white smoke coming out of the statue's mouth, everyone jumped up, not knowing what had happened.

"The secret door's mechanism has been found, it's on top of the statue's teeth. The secret door has been opened, Wei Ke, go and find the green-eyed Dwarf and Yue Peng. We're preparing to enter the temple hall." Meng Xiaodie said.

Jiang Bufan was quite surprised and asked doubtfully, "The passageway is really in the mouth of the statue?"

"How could that be fake? Not only is there a hidden weapon inside the cave, there's also poisonous smoke." Meng Xiaodie replied.

Shen Hong was elated. She gave Meng Xiaodie a thumbs up and said happily, "That's great. Everyone, prepare yourself. Once the poison gas has dissipated, we will enter the cave."

The green-eyed dwarf and Yue Peng were called back. When they heard that the entrance was in the sculpture's mouth, the green-eyed dwarf laughed mischievously and said, "Didn't I say it? The secret mechanism was in the lord's mouth, and some people just didn't believe it."

"Green Eyed Dwarf, you can just say that I, Jiang Chen, am one of them. Although you guessed half right, in the end, it was Meng Xiaodie who found the cave. This doesn't seem to have anything to do with you." Jiang Bufan replied in a tit for tat manner.
