Chapter 389: Chapter 389 Heaven’s Eye_1

Xi Yu suddenly turned her head and looked at Wu Qiyi, "Miss, is there a problem?"

Wu Qiyi’s tone of voice instantly turned cold as she turned to Xi Yu and asked, "Have you ever seen a baby?"

Xi Yu was startled.

Wu Qiyi continued, "Also, why have we never seen any children over the age of fifteen? If they are studying outside the village, then the last time we came here was during the summer vacation, right? Why haven’t we seen a single older child? In this village, besides Dashan, there are no other young people!"

Xi Yu, also a highly intelligent person, finally understood the crux of the matter upon hearing these words.

"There’s something wrong with this village!" Xi Yu’s complexion turned pale in an instant, and as Wu Qiyi’s private secretary, she knew she had made a grave mistake!

"I deserve to die!"

Xi Yu immediately knelt down before Wu Qiyi!

Wu Qiyi extended her hand to help Xi Yu up and sighed, shaking her head, "Don’t blame yourself; I am also responsible for this."

Meanwhile, Little Qinniang, who was standing aside with a look of confusion on her face, added, "Those elder brothers and sisters have all left. Sister Lin has been gone for two years now."

"Sister Lin? Which Sister Lin?" Xi Yu quickly looked at Little Qinniang.

After thinking for a moment, Little Qinniang smiled and said, "It’s Sister Lin, Sister Lin was very nice to me."

Speaking of which, Little Qinniang turned to look at you, "But no brother treats me as well as he does."

"You little girl, already know how to butter up your brother," Wu Qiyi said with a smile as she stroked Little Qinniang’s head and squatted in front of her, asking, "Little Yan, tell Elder Sister, when did Sister Lin come to the village, and how long did she stay?"

"Um..." Little Qinniang thought for a moment and said, "Sister Lin came with a few other brothers and sisters, and she stayed here for one winter before she left."

Seeing Xi Yu wanted to ask more, you shook your head and said, "Don’t think too much about it now, I’m going to check your dormitory right away. Be cautious during this time, even if it’s just a child approaching."

Xi Yu nodded solemnly.

Leaving the three behind, you walked towards the dormitory where Wu Qiyi was staying.

After stepping out of a small grove, a two-story building with two rows appeared before you.

The building was not tiled but, like the other houses in the village, had been coated with a layer of white lime; the ground around the building had been somewhat landscaped, with some broken stones laid out, and two flowerbeds had been built with stones at the front and back of the building.

Qingfeng Village had no electricity, so the village became particularly quiet at night, with only the occasional sound of dogs barking in the dark.

The room on the left side of the second floor of the building was lit, which was Wu Qiyi’s personal solar lamp. She deliberately did not turn off the light when leaving — one to make it easier for you to recognize the building’s location, and the other to create an illusion that she was still in the room.

The building was dozens of meters away from the nearest house, and this distance alone provided many places and positions for the construction of new houses, without needing to demolish the residence of Little Qinniang and her mother.

The first floor was a storeroom, and at the entrance to the upstairs staircase was a door, which had already been locked from the inside.

The second floor wasn’t very high, so you took several steps back, then with a quick rush forward, your body soared into the air, grabbing onto the railing of the second floor, and easily climbed up.

The door to Wu Qiyi’s room was open, and after entering, you discovered the room carried a natural, intoxicating scent, unique to her.

Without further thought, you sat down directly on the cold floor, closed your eyes, and began to breathe evenly.

Inhale—

Exhale—

After three breaths, you suddenly opened your eyes—the Sen Luo Eye, activated!

"All Forms of Sen Luo, Heaven’s Eye!"

Along with your light chant, countless images flashed before your eyes!

The flickering speed of those images resembled a movie fast-forwarding by hundreds of times!

The so-called Heaven’s Eye even encompasses prying into all matters within a two-kilometer radius. When Mother En taught you this technique, she once said something that has shocked you to this day. According to Mother En, her Myriad Manifestation Eye had reached the Mahayana level three years ago. The Heaven’s Eye she activated could instantly flash the information of the entire Jiangzhe Province through her pupils within two minutes.

Heaven’s Eye, reaching up to the sky and down into the earth, could see everything in a single glance!

However, your current strength is still shallow, with an observation range of only about two kilometers.

Of course, this two kilometers included the sky and the earth beneath.

In less than ten seconds, your vision started to falter, and you slowly closed your eyes.

At that moment, the corners of your mouth couldn’t help but curl slightly, revealing a sly smile.

"Hmph, who would have thought, really who would have thought, that Qingfeng Village would actually be useful in such a way!"

Immediately afterwards, your vision separated from your body and once again climbed to a hundred meters up.

By then the night had already fallen, yet darkness had no impact on your sight.

This time, you instinctively ignored the surface buildings, observing the vegetation and water veins beneath the ground from a hundred meters high.

Indeed!

You quickly discovered something fishy.

Firstly, let’s talk about Blackwater Village. Its surface was an inverted Bagua, while beneath it, there appeared an artificially excavated water vein—a water-driven Array! An Array that constantly operates with water as its driving force!

Then looking at Qingfeng Village, it seemed disorderly on the surface, but beneath it, there was also a water-driven Array. Above the Array, there was another wooden Array arranged with the similarly chaotic-looking trees!

As the Five Elements beget one another, water gives birth to wood. These two Arrays operating simultaneously were meant to support the wooden Array on the surface of Qingfeng Village. This wooden Array consisted of eighteen birch trees, but among these, only nine were useful, with the rest serving as decoys.

At that very moment, in the rooms adjacent to the nine birch trees within the wooden Array, there were nine people sitting cross-legged, breathing in the Soul Power transmitted through the branches and leaves. Among these few people, eight were the children who surrounded Wu Qiyi and Xi Yu today, and the other person was Dashan!

There is a saying: reading ten thousand books is not as useful as traveling ten thousand miles.

You have read so many books, but none ever mentioned using such an enormous Array to extract Soul Power for cultivation at the cost of sacrificing some people’s lives.

Looking now at the small building you are in, this building is the Array’s core!

You finally understood why the old village chief was so kind as to let Little Qinniang and her mother live here—because this Array core would bear all the Resentful Curse!

Once these three Arrays succeeded in linking together, it would amount to defying the Heavenly Dao. After the Arrays drained people of their Soul Power, what would remain is the Resentful Curse that even ghosts would not dare to approach. If ghosts were to encounter this curse, they would likely dissolve into a pool of filth just like humans!
