298: The village's secret: Does the big boss take on apprentices?

Yang Mi watched his actions nervously, terrified that he might get hurt.

Ye Bai used all his strength and finally managed to dig down the tree.

He pried the tree up with his shovel, stepped back a few paces, and then stuck the shovel into the ground.

Then, Ye Bai took two red Candles out of his backpack and placed them beside the shovel.

Yang Mi asked, "Brother Ye, what are you doing?"

Ye Bai pointed at the red Candles and said, "This is called a sacrifice, it's easy to understand."

"Oh, so that's how it is!" Yang Mi realized suddenly.

Ye Bai formed a hand seal with both hands and silently recited an incantation.

The two red Candles, which were burning with flames, suddenly flared up.

At this moment, Ye Bai's gaze was fixed intently on the red Candles. After a while, his expression changed drastically, and he shouted, "Run!"

Then, he quickly scooped up Yang Mi and fled outside.

They ran for three kilometers in one breath and only stopped when they couldn't run any further.

Yang Mi was pale with fright, clutching Ye Bai tightly, and trembling all over from fear.

Ye Bai panted heavily and said, "That was close!"

"Brother Ye, what exactly happened?"

Ye Bai said, "The flames of the red Candles went out, which indicates that these red Candles have been destroyed.

We must leave this haunted village as soon as possible! Otherwise, we might meet with misfortune."

Upon hearing this, Yang Mi immediately felt a chill run through her entire body.

Ye Bai led her to continue on their way, and after walking about a hundred meters, they suddenly saw a girl lying on the ground ahead.

The girl looked to be about seventeen or eighteen years old, wearing a floral dress with her long hair draped over her shoulders.

Her face was pale, her lips were purple, and she looked like she was about to die.

Yang Mi said, "This girl's symptoms are similar to those of the dead people in the village."

"Not only that, but her skin color is even deeper," Ye Bai said.

"Will her corpse undergo Corpse Reanimation?" Yang Mi asked.

"I don't know." Ye Bai shook his head, then said, "Regardless, we have to try."

He took out a copper coin, flicked it with his finger, and it landed on the girl's forehead.

The girl immediately opened her eyes and said with a look of surprise, "Help... help me."

Ye Bai and Yang Mi's thrilling encounter was transmitted in real-time to the audience through the live stream lens, and the Live Stream Room instantly exploded.

"My god! This is too exciting! The red Candles going out, what kind of mysterious omen is this?"

"Boss Ye is truly amazing, reacting quickly and taking Mi Mi to run immediately.

If it were me, I would probably be scared stiff on the spot."

"What is going on with that girl? She won't really undergo Corpse Reanimation, right? So scary!"

"This variety show is simply awesome, much more realistic than those fictional suspense dramas."

"Mi Mi and Boss Ye must be careful! Where is Meng Ziyi? Why hasn't she appeared yet?"

The audience stared nervously at the screen, constantly sending bullet comments, breaking into a cold sweat for Ye Bai and Yang Mi.

At this moment, at the live scene, Ye Bai looked at the girl who had woken up and asked vigilantly, "Who are you? How did you end up here?"

The girl said weakly, "I... my name is Xiao Xuan, I came here to explore, but I accidentally got lost.

Later I felt my body becoming increasingly uncomfortable, and then I fainted."

Yang Mi frowned and said, "You came to such a dangerous place to explore all by yourself? That's too careless."

Xiao Xuan said with a bitter face, "I didn't expect this place to be so scary.

I'm so scared right now, can you take me with you?"

Ye Bai thought for a moment and said, "Alright, but you must be obedient and not run around."

Xiao Xuan nodded quickly in agreement.

The three continued forward, and all along the way, Ye Bai remained highly vigilant.

He observed the surrounding environment from time to time, using his many years of tomb-raiding experience to judge potential dangers.

Yang Mi followed closely beside Ye Bai and whispered, "Brother Ye, what exactly is the secret of this village? Why is it so eerie?"

Ye Bai lowered his voice and said, "From the current situation, this village might be shrouded by some kind of evil power.

The red Candles going out just now is a bad omen.

We must deal with this carefully, otherwise the consequences will be unimaginable."

As they were talking, they suddenly heard a strange sound, like someone crying.

The three immediately stopped in their tracks, looking around nervously.

"Brother Ye, what is that sound?" Yang Mi asked fearfully.

Ye Bai made a gesture for silence and listened carefully to the source of the sound.

After a while, he pointed in a direction and said, "The sound is coming from over there.

Let's go over and take a look, but be careful."

They walked cautiously in the direction the sound was coming from.

As the distance closed, the sound of crying became clearer and clearer.

When they arrived in front of a dilapidated house, the sound stopped abruptly.

Ye Bai cautiously pushed open the door, and a musty, old odor rushed towards them.

The room was dark and damp, with some old, broken furniture placed inside.

In the corner of the room, they discovered a strange pattern, looking like some kind of Talismanic Incantation.

"What is this?" Yang Mi asked in surprise.

Ye Bai observed the pattern carefully, his expression becoming even more grave.

"This is an ancient Feng Shui Talismanic Incantation; it seems the problem with this village is related to Feng Shui."

Xiao Xuan asked in confusion, "Feng Shui? What is that?"

Ye Bai explained, "Feng Shui is an ancient theory that believes the Qi field in the environment can affect a person's fortune and destiny.

The Feng Shui of this village may have been damaged, leading to a series of eerie events."

Just as they were discussing, the audience in the Live Stream Room were also guessing the meaning of this pattern.

"This pattern is so mysterious! Could it be some kind of curse?"

"Boss Ye, hurry up and tell us about Feng Shui knowledge, we are so curious."

"Mi Mi, don't be afraid. With Boss Ye here, we will definitely be able to overcome the danger."

"Streamer, what exactly does this pattern represent?"

Ye Bai glanced at Xiao Xuan, then said, "This is some kind of extremely powerful Feng Shui Formation. As long as we find the core object of this Formation, we can destroy the Formation and restore this place to a peaceful village."

"Wow! What a magical Formation."

"Streamer, I want to become your apprentice, please take me in."

"Get lost, poster above. The Streamer isn't a professor, how could he teach you?"

Ye Bai said, "Let me first look at the layout of this Formation."

He carefully studied this Feng Shui symbol.

It was composed of five Beads, presenting the shape of the Big Dipper.

"The Big Dipper Spirit Gathering Formation!" Ye Bai exclaimed.

"What is the Big Dipper Spirit Gathering Formation?"

"It is a Feng Shui technique that uses special factors such as the position, direction, and function of the Big Dipper stars to set up the Formation.

This Formation is terrifying!"

"Damn! That exaggerated?"

"Streamer, is this Formation very powerful?"

Ye Bai pondered for a moment and said, "This Feng Shui Formation is indeed powerful, but it doesn't mean we can't break it.

I need a wooden board, and after drawing a few lines, I can break the Formation."
