301: The Corpse King's secret, boss, you can even read minds!
Nighttime.
A sudden, rumbling roar echoed into their ears, shaking their very souls.
Ye Bai opened his eyes, stood up, pushed open the window, and looked into the distance.
At this moment, colorful fireworks lit up the pitch-black sky.
The dazzling spectacle was reflected in Ye Bai's pupils. A look of joy appeared on Ye Bai's face as he murmured, "The drought is about to end."
Following that rumbling roar and the brilliant fireworks in the sky, the audience in the Live Stream Room instantly erupted.
"Wow! What's happening? Could it really be as Boss Ye said, that the drought is coming to an end?"
"This is too amazing! Boss Ye is truly incredible, being able to predict even this."
"How are Mi Mi and Xiao Xuan doing? I'm so worried about them."
"This tomb-raiding variety show is getting more and more thrilling; I don't know what will happen next."
The audience flooded the screen with bullet comments, expressing their surprise and concern. At this moment, the camera switched to where Yang Mi and Meng Ziyi were. Yang Mi and Meng Ziyi were also drawn by the loud noise and fireworks, their faces showing expressions of surprise.
"Mi Mi, what's going on?" Meng Ziyi asked.
Yang Mi shook her head and said, "I don't know either. But it looks quite spectacular."
They watched the fireworks in the sky, filled with curiosity. Meanwhile, the audience in the Live Stream Room was also speculating about the origin of these fireworks.
"Could it be that some mysterious power is at work?"
"Maybe Boss Ye and the others triggered some mechanism."
"I'm really looking forward to what happens next."
Amidst the audience's discussions, Ye Bai was also pondering the significance of these fireworks. He knew this certainly didn't happen by chance; there must be a reason behind it.
Ye Bai decided to take Xiao Xuan back to that tomb to see if they could find more clues. When they returned to the tomb, they found that the atmosphere inside had become even more eerie.
"Brother Ye, it feels so creepy here." Xiao Xuan grabbed Ye Bai's arm tightly, saying fearfully.
Ye Bai comforted her, "Don't be afraid, I'm here. Let's be careful."
They cautiously walked into the tomb and discovered that the Antiques they had moved had returned to their original positions.
"What's going on?" Xiao Xuan said in surprise.
Ye Bai frowned and said, "It seems there is a power we don't know about at work here."
They carefully observed the Antiques and discovered that one of them was emitting a faint glow. Ye Bai picked up that Antique and examined it closely.
"There's something wrong with this Antique," Ye Bai said.
Xiao Xuan asked, "What kind of problem?"
Ye Bai said, "The light on this Antique is very strange; it seems to be guiding us toward something."
They followed the direction of the light and arrived in front of a wall. Ye Bai gently touched the wall and discovered a groove in it.
"There is a mechanism here," Ye Bai said.
He pressed the groove, and the wall slowly opened, revealing a Passage. Ye Bai and Xiao Xuan exchanged a look, then cautiously walked into the Passage.
The Passage was filled with a mysterious aura that made one feel naturally fearful. Ye Bai and Xiao Xuan stayed close together, walking forward cautiously.
After walking for a distance, they arrived in a room. Inside the room were some strange instruments and books. Ye Bai picked up a book, opened it, and looked through it.
"This is a book about Feng Shui Metaphysics," Ye Bai said.
Xiao Xuan asked, "What is written in it?"
Ye Bai said, "It records some secrets about this tomb. It turns out that this tomb is an ancient Feng Shui Formation, and its purpose is to suppress an evil force. And the Corpse King we saw earlier is the product of this evil force."
Xiao Xuan said in surprise, "In that case, we must destroy this Feng Shui Formation in order to completely eliminate the Corpse King?"
Ye Bai nodded and said, "That's right. But this Feng Shui Formation is very complex; we need to find the right method to destroy it."
They continued to search for clues in the room, hoping to find a way to destroy the Feng Shui Formation. Meanwhile, the audience in the Live Stream Room was nervously watching their every move.
"Boss Ye, you must be careful!"
"I hope they can successfully destroy the Feng Shui Formation and eliminate the Corpse King."
"This live stream is just too realistic."
While searching for a way to break the Feng Shui Formation, Ye Bai was also observing the Ancient Tomb. When he was outside the Ancient Tomb, Ye Bai had already seen that this Ancient Tomb was an excellent piece of Feng Shui land. However, the Feng Shui Formation here was quite cruel, resulting in countless deaths.
Ye Bai had once followed his Master to learn Feng Shui for a period of time; although he couldn't be considered an expert, he understood some of it.
If he wanted to break this Ancient Tomb, the most important thing was to rely on the operating principles of this Feng Shui Formation.
After carefully observing it, Ye Bai discovered that the way this Feng Shui Formation operated was not much different from ordinary Feng Shui Formations; even some of the patterns were almost the same.
There was only one difference: the formation eye of this Feng Shui Formation was actually not inside the Ancient Tomb, but outside of it.
If Ye Bai wanted to break the Feng Shui Formation, the first thing he had to do was destroy the formation base outside the Ancient Tomb, causing the operation of the Ancient Tomb to become unbalanced.
As long as the Feng Shui operation of the Ancient Tomb was unbalanced, the Feng Shui Formation would be unable to maintain its balance and would gradually lose its effectiveness.
Ye Bai pondered for a moment, then took out two copper coins, placed them on two of his fingers, and closed his eyes to calculate.
In his mind, he was rapidly calculating various hexagrams, seeking a way to break the Feng Shui Formation.
"The hexagram shows that at the center of this formation, there is a blue stone slab with a Bagua Diagram on it, representing Qian, Kun, Kan, Li, Gen, and Dui."
Ye Bai whispered, "And around this blue stone slab, there are four mechanisms arranged, representing Qian, Dui, Zhen, Xun, and Li. To break the formation, one must first destroy these mechanisms. But how should they be destroyed?"
Suddenly, an image appeared in Ye Bai's mind. It was a map of the Bagua Formation, with eight grooves on it, representing eight mechanisms: Qian, Dui, Gen, Zhen, Xun, Li, and Kan.
"Since I know where these eight mechanisms are, I might as well start from here. However, these mechanisms are designed very ingeniously; the slightest mistake could destroy the entire Feng Shui Formation at once, and besides..."
Ye Bai murmured, "If I act rashly, I might hurt innocent people."
He pondered for a long time, and finally decided to take the risk. He said to Xiao Xuan, "You stay here and wait for me. I'll go in and take a look."
Xiao Xuan hurriedly pulled on his clothes and said, "Be careful. I'm scared."
Ye Bai smiled and said, "Don't worry, I have confidence that I can return alive. You stay here and be good."
"Mm." Xiao Xuan nodded and let go of his sleeves.
