254: Polluted ley lines, a favorite spot for demons and monsters.

He extended his right hand and stroked it gently, but that hand immediately jerked back.

"So that's how it is!" Ye Bai revealed a look of realization. A rare smile appeared on his face.

Yang Mi asked eagerly, "Streamer, have you found the entrance? Hurry up and tell your big sister!"

"Of course. This entrance is hidden within the nearby Burial Mounds. As long as we destroy this Burial Mound, we can open up this Passage," Ye Bai said.

Meng Ziyi widened her beautiful eyes and said in shock, "Isn't that too exaggerated? This Mound is hundreds of meters high. How could we possibly destroy it?"

"That's right."

Ye Bai nodded and said, "The position of this Burial Mound is directly facing a Leyline. Leylines are the pillars of Dragon Veins. Over the years, this Leyline has been constantly polluted."

"If we can destroy the Burial Mound and the Leyline's filth is cleared, it can restore normal Spiritual Qi. At that time, this place will become a cultivation treasure land, where Yin Qi gathers, suitable for Yin Souls, ghosts, and spirits to reside."

"Then what are we waiting for? Let's get to work," Meng Ziyi urged impatiently.

Yang Mi said, "But this is a Burial Area; how do we start? Are we going to dig up a grave?"

Ye Bai placed the items on the ground and said, "Digging up a grave is just the most common method. My methods are far more mystical than that."

"Really?" Yang Mi and Meng Ziyi's eyes widened.

They looked at Ye Bai with expectant expressions, seemingly wanting him to show off his skills.

"How about this: we'll break open the Mound first, then dig it out," Ye Bai said.

The Burial Area wasn't spacious, only allowing three or four people to stand at once. Hearing this, Yang Mi and Meng Ziyi quickly took out Shovels and Pickaxes, preparing to destroy the Mound.

"Wait!" Ye Bai suddenly stopped the two women.

"Hmm?" The two women looked up at Ye Bai.

Ye Bai said, "The Yin Qi here is dense. If you break open the Mound without permission, you might encounter misfortune or even lose your lives. Therefore, we should first use glutinous rice to seal this entrance to prevent the Yin Qi from leaking out of the Tomb."

He took out the glutinous rice he had prepared long ago and handed it to the two women.

"We'll bury the glutinous rice in the soil first to seal the entrance before we start."

The two women nodded and did as Ye Bai instructed.

Ye Bai buried some glutinous rice into the mud to seal the entrance. He watched from the side for a long time, and after finding no flaws, he clapped his hands and said, "Alright, we can start now."

Everyone stopped what they were doing and looked at him curiously.

"We're digging a hole." Ye Bai called out to everyone, turned off the flashlight, and began to dig.

Ye Bai, Yang Mi, and the others dug a full five or six meters deep before they reached the entrance of the burial site.

"It's so deep! How long will it take to dig this deep?"

Ye Bai looked and added, "The Tombs here are built based on the mountain's terrain. Therefore, the entrance to the burial is very deep."

He pointed at their feet and said, "Do you see? It's all rocks under our feet! We must squeeze through the cracks in the rocks to dig open the Coffin Lid!"

Meng Ziyi frowned and said, "Brother Ye Bai, I don't think this will work. We don't have any tools on us. If we dig up something dangerous, wouldn't it harm you?"

Ye Bai said, "Don't worry, I have a way to avoid those situations."

After saying that, he picked up a Shovel and began digging a hole in the ground.

Soon, he dug out a hole and said, "Jump down and just step on my shoulders."

"Okay!"

Ye Bai hoisted Yang Mi up, then pulled Meng Ziyi down as well. The three of them lay in the hole Ye Bai had dug.

"So heavy! Are you carrying a large truck on your back?" Yang Mi couldn't help but complain.

Ye Bai also wanted to complain in his heart, but on the surface, he pretended to be cold and aloof, saying, "Stop talking nonsense and get to work."

He continued digging down with the Shovel.

Before long, Ye Bai finally reached the bottom.

"We're close to the center of the burial now. Let's go down," Ye Bai said.

The three of them jumped down one after another.

This was a massive Tomb Chamber, and the Tomb was long in shape.

At the top of the Tomb Chamber, a massive luminous pearl was embedded, emitting a brilliant and dazzling light.

Ye Bai took down the luminous pearl and then carefully moved outside.

Yang Mi and Meng Ziyi continued digging.

After a while, the three of them finally broke through the Tomb.

This was a massive space, incredibly empty, and the end was nowhere in sight.

Moreover, the Tomb Chamber was filled with a pungent, choking smell.

"Wow, it stinks!" Yang Mi covered her nose and complained repeatedly, "A lot of people must have died here, right?"

Meng Ziyi also said, "Not only does it stink, but it's also very cold. The yin-sha qi here is simply too thick!"

Ye Bai nodded and said, "That's right! The number of people buried here definitely exceeds a thousand!"

Yang Mi and Meng Ziyi gasped.

A thousand people—that's simply unheard of!

Yang Mi said, "I remember a legend that the Funerary Objects of ancient emperors' Mausoleums were accompanied by a thousand people! It seems the Funerary Objects here must be priceless!"

"Then let's hurry and find some Treasures!" Meng Ziyi shouted excitedly.

Ye Bai shook his head and reminded them again, "Have you forgotten what just happened?"

Yang Mi and Meng Ziyi immediately realized.

This burial was extremely dangerous!

They had unknowingly walked deep into the Tomb and almost lost their lives.

Fortunately, they met Ye Bai! Otherwise, they would have surely died a miserable death in this Tomb.

"Let's leave this place and find somewhere else," Yang Mi suggested.

Meng Ziyi also agreed, "I agree with Sister Yang Mi's suggestion. This place is really too eerie; it's better to leave as soon as possible!"

Ye Bai nodded and said, "Alright, let's retreat!"

The three of them packed up their Shovels, Pickaxes, and other tools and headed back the way they came.

Along the way, they encountered many Zombies, Evil Spirits, and Malevolent Ghosts, but they resolved them easily without any effort.

Of course, those Malevolent Ghosts were subdued by Ye Bai and became his servants.

Everything went incredibly smoothly.

"I feel like the environment here is too far from the inside of the Tomb Chamber; the entrance to the burial should be far from the Tomb Chamber. We didn't see the entrance to the Tomb along the way," Yang Mi asked doubtfully.

Ye Bai nodded and said, "Indeed. But since someone discovered the location of the Tomb entrance, it means they've been here before. They know exactly where the Feng Shui layout is best. If we leave traces along the way, they can lead us there!"

Meng Ziyi said in surprise, "Brother Ye Bai, you know Feng Shui?"

Ye Bai smiled and said, "I know a little, but it's enough."

Meng Ziyi curled her lips and thought to herself: Posturing! But, I like it!

Ye Bai led the two women in a large circle before finding that spot.

"The Feng Shui layout here is indeed extraordinary; it's a good place!" Ye Bai nodded.

"Brother Ye Bai, where is this?" Meng Ziyi asked curiously.

Ye Bai looked at the black soot on her face, reached out to touch her smooth cheek, and said, "This is the entrance and exit of the Tomb. We just need to dig through the entrance of the Tomb."

"Oh..."

Meng Ziyi suddenly understood.
