Entertainment Secrets: Playing the role of Qilin, Mimi loves it so much

Ye Bai glanced at them, a hint of subtle tenderness flashing in his eyes, and then he returned to his aloof demeanor: "You two, follow me closely, don't run around."

Lin Yu continued, "Tang Dynasty mausoleums often used the Five Elements and Eight Trigrams to set up traps. If we rashly search the lake bottom, we might trigger danger."

"I once heard a folk legend about a group of tomb robbers who entered a similar ancient tomb. Ignoring warnings, they searched in a pool of water that seemed to contain treasure, triggering the seal of a water ghost."

"A water ghost appeared, and none of the tomb robbers escaped. They died in a horrible way, their bodies swollen and their eyes bulging, as if their souls had been drained out."

Yang Mi's face turned even paler: "Is it really... so scary?" Ye Bai did not answer, but just stared at the lake.

At this moment, the lake surface seemed to be rippling with unusual ripples, as if something was stirring the originally calm waters beneath. Ye Bai whispered, "Something's wrong. Everyone, be careful."

The audience in the live broadcast room also saw this scene, and the barrage of comments scrolled wildly.

"Oh my god, what is that? Is there really a water ghost?"

"Hurry up, host. Something's going to happen."

Suddenly, a pale hand stretched out from the lake and grabbed the rocks on the shore. Then, a figure, soaked to the skin and with long hair covering its face, slowly rose from the water.

"Ah!" Meng Ziyi couldn't help but scream, and Yang Mi was also frightened.

Ye Bai quickly drew a mahogany sword from his waist, muttered something, and stabbed at the water ghost-like thing. The water ghost seemed to feel threatened, let out a shrill cry, let go of the stone and dived into the water again.

Ye Bai frowned, "This thing is not simple. It should be the vengeful spirit sealed here. I don't know why we disturbed it."

Lin Yu nodded and said, "It seems that there is indeed a problem at the bottom of the lake. We can't act rashly."

Yang Mi said in a trembling voice, "What should we do then? Shouldn't we look for the treasure?" Ye Bai glanced at her and said, "First, we need to find out the origin of this vengeful spirit. Maybe we can find a way to break it."

The audience in the live broadcast room were also speculating.

"Could this be the vengeful spirit of the person who guarded the treasure back then?"

"Maybe it's someone who was buried with the deceased and is holding a grudge."

Ye Bai paced by the lake, pondering a strategy. Suddenly, he looked towards the livestream and said, "Does anyone here know of similar supernatural rumors about this place? Perhaps they could help us."

The barrage started rolling again.

"I heard that this used to be the cemetery of a general. The general was murdered by a traitor and died with his eyes open. His soldiers were also buried here with him, and there's a lot of resentment."

"Another theory is that this was once a place of worship for a cult, where they sacrificed living people, and the souls of those who died have been trapped here ever since."

Ye Bai pondered for a moment: "If they are the general's soldiers, then their resentment should be directed at the traitors. We have no connection and they should not attack us. If they are cult sacrifices, then it will be troublesome."

Lin Yu said: "No matter what, we have to find the source first."

Meng Ziyi suddenly said: "I think we can first look around to see if there are any clues, such as any special symbols or marks."

Everyone thought it made sense, so they began to search carefully around the lake.

Not long after, Yang Mi discovered a strange symbol in the corner of a stone tablet. It looked like a distorted human face. Ye Bai walked over and took a closer look.

"I've seen this symbol in an ancient book. It's the symbol of a cult sacrifice. It looks like we're in real trouble."

Lin Yu's face was solemn: "Then we must find a way to break it as soon as possible, otherwise when the vengeful spirit attacks again, we won't be able to resist it."

The audience in the live broadcast room were also worried for them.

"Come on, anchors! Stay safe."

"I hope they can find a way. It's so thrilling."

Ye Bai asked everyone to gather around and said, "Ancient books record that the vengeful spirits produced by this kind of evil cult sacrifice can be restrained with pure yang objects. We need to find something similar."

Yang Mi asked, "Pure Yang things? For example?" Ye Bai replied, "For example, cinnabar, peach wood, and stones exposed to the sun at noon."

So, everyone began to look for these things in the tomb.

During the search, they encountered some strange phenomena. From time to time, some vague human faces appeared on the wall, emitting eerie laughter.

Meng Ziyi said fearfully: "These faces are so scary, they seem to be looking at us."

Ye Bai comforted him, "Don't be afraid, it's just an illusion. It's the vengeful spirits that are disturbing us."

After some searching, they finally found some cinnabar and peach wood, but the stone that had been exposed to the sun at noon was nowhere to be found.

The faces on the wall became clearer and clearer, and the eerie laughter grew louder and louder, echoing throughout the space, making people feel creepy.

Yang Mi held Meng Ziyi's arm tightly, her fingers turning white from the force.

"The laughter was so scary, it felt like they were about to rush over."

Although Meng Ziyi was also afraid, he pretended to be calm: "Don't be afraid, Ye Bai is here."

Ye Bai smiled faintly and said, "Don't worry, now that we have found these things, there will definitely be a way to deal with them." He took out a piece of talisman paper, bit his finger, drew a suppression spell, and pasted it on the walls. Suddenly, the laughter dissipated, and the faces on the walls gradually faded away and returned to their original state.

"I thought something was really going to happen."

"Oh my god, host 666."

"This spell is very cool. It can actually drive away ghosts. This is what a real man does."

"Ye Shen is so cool, what should I do if I want to marry him~"

Yang Mi breathed a sigh of relief: "Thank you, Ye Bai."

Ye Bai smiled slightly and said, "I just learned Maoshan magic for a few days, and it came in handy today."

Lin Yu said: "Let's continue going down and see what's going on here."

There were many coffins along the way. Ye Bai saw the words on the coffin lids: "The general's coffin is equipped by the emperor. It contains rare jewels and countless gold and silver utensils."

Lin Yu frowned: "These words seem to be words of praise, but in fact they reveal a strong smell of blood."

Ye Bai nodded in agreement.

"So, this general was most likely murdered by his own subordinates."

"Yeah, I think so too." Lin Yu said, "Let's get out of here quickly, otherwise I'll always have a creepy feeling."

The four of them went down all the way, passed through layers of tombs, and finally came to a stone gate.

Ye Bai kicked the heavy stone door, but it didn't move at all.

"This stone door is sealed. It seems we need a key." Meng Ziyi suggested: "How about I try to open this door?"

"Let me try." Yang Mi pushed Meng Ziyi away, squatted on the ground, and drew two circles on the door with a knife: "You two, step back."

Meng Ziyi and Lin Yu retreated far away.

Yang Mi connected the circles in order: "Okay."
