Summary In spite of the previous day's adventures, Tao goes back into the underground grotto to study the mystery of the jade mask. Putting his face to the eye of the mask, Tao makes out some inscriptions that he can read. He presses on the stones indicated by the inscriptions and suddenly the ground rises up, showing a stone sarcophagus. Inside the children find a manuscript that Tao takes to read with the help of his ancestors' book. Coming out of the ruins, the children are taken prisoner by a strange couple, Dr Fernando Laguera and Marinché, who are also searching for the Cities of Gold. Seeing the manuscript Tao is holding, Marinché snatches it away and begins to read it, also having seized his golden vase. To get back his vase and the manuscript, Tao asks Pichu to undo the rope holding him prisoner with his beak. Then he frees his friends. The three children set out for the temple where the Doctor and Marinché are interpreting the manuscript. In spite of all the precautions that they take not to make any noise, the children are heard and once again captured by the couple. Fortunately Mendoza arrives in time to take on the Doctor. He threatens to cut his throat if the children are not released. The three children flee, leaving Mendoza, Pedro and Sancho to escape in their own way.
