"Herein lies" is correct. "Lays" implies that it is the object that is lying. "Lies" implies that the subject is lying. ("Lying" being the gerund for "lie".)
When you say "herein lies the mcguffin." You are saying that the mcguffin is lying, you are not saying that the mcguffin is laying something else. You lie (yourself) on the ground. You lay a book on the table. You lay your argument before me and thus, there it lies.

What sentence is grammatically right 1 This will remain between you and I 2 She and he and i can do it 3 he lays on the couch 4 He and she live further down the street?
Only #1 is grammatically incorrect, although the question itself is grammatically wrong. It should read "Which of the following sentences is grammatically right." There is more than one sentence so it needs to be "sentences", not "sentence". Number 1 is wrong: it should be "This will remain between you and me" The object of the preposition "between" needs an accusitive form. Number 3 is also wrong, but it is not grammatically wrong. "Lays" is a transitive verb; you need the intransitive "lies" so the sentence should say "He lies on the couch" That is an error in vocabulary, not grammar. As well, the "i" in number 2 and the "he" in number 3 should be capitalized. Capitalization is not grammar.

What lies ahead or what lays ahead?
It depends. In the present tense it is lie ahead. In the past tense it is lay ahead. Because lay is the past tense of lie. Do not confuse this with the verb lay, which means to put something down. I may lay an ambush. But the ambush lies ahead. Now that I am past the ambush it does not bother me that it lay ahead.
