Before Chaozi could speak, Cha Wenbin said: "I dont know what this arrangement means, but one thing is certain, the person in that bronze coffin is not easy to deal with. With my skills, if I had gone there today, Im afraid I wouldnt have been able to leave this village."

  The blind man has been deeply shocked every step of the way since entering his old home, his father had always said that place was barren and desolate, yet it holds so many secrets, why he never told him before, his doubts are not small, he cant wait to leave the valley immediately and ask Zhuo Lao Han for clarification, although he doesnt believe in ghosts or gods, everything about this village has surpassed the description of a remote mountain village that relies on medicine collection.

  Chaozi looked at Cha Wenbins expression and knew he wasnt lying. After so many years of archaeological exploration, it wasnt the first time theyd encountered something strange. Moreover, his father had repeatedly instructed him that whenever he was unsure, he should follow Cha Wenbins arrangements: "Wenbin brother, is there something unclean in that coffin?"

  Zha Wenbin nodded: "From the moment I walked into this village, I felt that although its strange here, its too quiet. This kind of desolate and remote place, with no human presence for a long time, its normal to have some lonely ghosts and wild spirits settling down. But I havent detected even a hint of their presence, which can only mean one thing: there is an existence beyond ordinary ghostly spirits here - a malevolent deity!"

  "Evil spirit?"

  "If Im not mistaken, that ancestral hall we saw earlier should be a charitable estate. The bronze ancient artifacts are probably royal family heirlooms, which have the effect of warding off evil spirits and bringing good fortune. This large bronze coffin is being suppressed by the Eight Trigrams, but its still not enough to hold back the ferocious beast that is Taotie. Have you noticed this door? The material used for this door should be the legendary Golden Silk Nanmu wood! The status of this person has already surpassed that of ordinary human emperors. Although I dont know who it is, its definitely not someone I can handle. If we touch that coffin, Im afraid well disrupt the layout set up by our ancestors and break the seal. In my opinion, this village itself should be a huge and complex formation, designed to suppress some kind of evil entity."

  "What about Old Wang and Little Demoness?"

  "Look, Wen Bin, the sky above is pitch black. Gritting his teeth, he said: Chaozi, they set up such a big trap in this place, its definitely not ordinary people. You see, this place has been shrouded in darkness all year round, just to prevent people from figuring it out. But no matter how clever the trap is, there must be a loophole. While they are still alive, we need to continue searching, eliminate the strange noise of the Luo Pan, and find similar stone tablets here one by one. Pay special attention to this kind of ancestral hall, concentrate our attention, and remember not to touch anything here carelessly."

  Taking a glance at the locked gate, Cha Wenbin led the two of them towards the center of the village...

  The compass is useless, Zha Wenbin took out a thin hemp rope from his bag before leaving, with a small bell hanging on it. From the entrance of the Yi Zhuang, it was stuck to the ground and pulled, with a bell hung every few meters. The two naturally didnt understand what this meant, but Zha Wenbin didnt say anything, as if he had his own reason.

  Always tied to the village center, then walked in another direction, because in the afternoon searched the village, that side also has a large house, such a big house in the entire village there are four, respectively in the east, south, west and north directions, the north is the Gluttony Locks Yi Zhuang, initially they thought it was just an ancestral temple, indeed in the south of the house, also use almost the same lock to lock the gate, only the couplet on the door is different, the lock is also different, another strange shape, shaped like a tiger body, hair carved but like a dog, a human face with pig teeth, a long tail trailing behind, appearance is quite frightening

  Chaozi took a glance and said, "Cha Ge, this beast should be a Kangba, right?"

  Cha Wenbin also took a closer look before responding: "Not bad, this should be it."

  Zhuo Xiong on the side had already been completely bewildered: "Alas, what are you two talking about? This is obviously a tiger!"

  Zha Wenbin pointed to the lock and explained to Zhuo Xiong: "Although its a tiger body and tiger claws, you can see that this tiger has a human face, with a mouth full of boar teeth. This thing is called a zhu, said to be the incarnation of Gong Gong, one of the ancient ferocious beasts. Go ahead and open the door to take a look first!"

  With the experience of last time, this time its even more convenient. As soon as the door is opened, the layout inside is almost exactly the same: a black eight-trigram stone monument, only with the supporting beasts changed to pillars. Passing by the monument, there is another row of coffins, and in the middle, almost identical bronze coffin. Carefully withdrawing, Cha Wenbin pulled out a hemp rope again.

  Next, the two Yizhuang in the north and south directions were opened one after another. Except for the different beasts, all other arrangements were identical. The beast on the west side was Hundun, and the beast on the east side was Qiongqi!

  After witnessing all of this, Cha Wenbin was already covered in cold sweat. This completely exceeded their expectations. The four ancient ferocious beasts, Taotie, Hundun, Qiongqi and Xiangliu, were guarding the four huge bronze coffins in this small, remote village. They used eight trigrams made from extremely rare natural magnets to suppress them. Its worth noting that these four beasts are almost synonymous with extreme ferocity, and are the incarnations of the four "great villains", namely Sanmiao, Dou, Gonggong and Yu. They were all killed for resisting those in power, but their spirits did not dissipate. Those in power labeled them as "evil demons", also known as the four great demon beasts!

  These four evil gods formed a situation that had already exceeded the production limit of human beings at that time, because how could this small village possibly have someone smelt such huge bronze artifacts and set up such a huge array composed of four divine beasts? What was it prepared for?

  Four hemp ropes were gathered in the middle, neither biased nor inclined, right above that ancient well. Cha Wenbin happened to tie a knot in the middle of the ancient well and touched another bell in his pocket, which was hung on it.

  He thought that since it was an array, it must have been set up by someone. The sudden disappearance of Old Wang and the girl had nothing to do with this strange and ancient formation. Now that they were in a passive situation, they might as well take it to the end and set up an ambush, waiting for something to appear tonight. After setting everything up, Cha Wenbin glanced at the nearby houses, chose the closest one, and led the three of them inside.

  The old wooden house, which had been neglected for years, gave off a musty smell that hit the nose as soon as one entered. At this time, there was no room to think too much, and all they could do was wait quietly. After extinguishing all the lights, the entire village plunged into endless darkness, and the lost village was instantly swallowed up like hell. The three of them made a great effort to adjust their breathing frequency, trying to make as little noise as possible. Except for waiting, there was nothing else to do, and they didnt know how long they had been waiting. After keeping still for a long time, the three of them felt numbness in their legs and feet, especially under Zhang Wenbins orders, because they were afraid of making any noise, not even allowing themselves to urinate, and it was unbearable to hold it in for so long.

  The outside world was pitch black and eerily quiet, so quiet that it was enough to drive a person crazy. If they werent both scouts by trade, they wouldnt have been able to hold on any longer.

  Chaozi raised his hand to glance at his luminous watch, the pointer was already approaching midnight. He lightly patted Cha Wenbins back with his hand, hinting whether they should take action or not. Cha Wenbin pressed down on his hand, indicating that they shouldnt move and should continue waiting, even until dawn, because he knew that the divination had said that they needed to use stillness to control movement. At this moment, there was no other way.

  Suddenly, two crisp bell sounds came from outside, "Ding-dong, ding-dong..." In this desolate village, it was so loud and ear-piercing. Cha Wenbin knew that what they had been waiting for all night had finally arrived. Without needing to be summoned, the two people beside him quickly opened the searchlight, picked up their hunting guns, and in one swift motion, rushed out of the already dilapidated wooden door with a loud creak, directly charging towards the direction of the bell sounds: the ancient well!

  Closely following him, Cha Wenbin didnt dare to relax for a moment, tightly following behind. The tactical searchlight swept by, and the village that was shrouded in darkness just now appeared snowy white... Just as they jumped out of the wooden gate, two splashing sounds "Plop, plop" came from not far away. Cha Wenbin shouted loudly from behind: "Not good, hurry up and go!"

  The scouts physique was fully demonstrated at this moment, and the three of them almost sprinted towards the ancient well in a hundred-meter dash. Before the light had time to shine on it, Xiao Xiong, with his sharp eyes, saw a figure flashing by at the end of the village under the illumination of the distant light. He subconsciously raised his hand and fired a shot! The strong recoil force made him pause for a moment, and when he looked up again, the figure was gone. Cha Wenbin knew that Xiao Xiong had discovered something, but at this moment, they couldnt afford to chase after it because what was happening by the ancient well was more important. He glanced in the direction of the gun and shouted again: "Middle, quick!" Xiao Xiong could only put down his gun and quickly ran towards the middle of the village...
