"Stronger than you?" Zhang Nan was afraid that the villagers beside him would hear him, and so he asked softly.

"This is incomparable. What's below is a monster that has been sealed for over a hundred years. Who knows what it is like right now." Song Yang waved his hand, signalling for the villagers to return first. He had already waited for more than ten hours, no one would be able to take it if he did not rest.

On the other hand, these seven-colored flames did not seem to have the intention of extinguishing. It was likely that they would still burn for a long time.

brought Fox Fairy and Song Yang to his house. This was the first time this famous Elementary Scholar Zhang Scholar and his family lived with three people.

There were two thatched huts and three people staying there. It was rather crowded, but this was nothing to worry about. That night, the sky changed as heavy rain came pouring down. The rain continued to fall the next day without any signs of stopping.

Song Yang raised his head and looked at the sky, as if he was observing the sky.

"You saw it too?" Song Yang nodded his head and looked towards the east mountain: "I never thought that this white tiger is truly powerful, to actually be able to do this."

"It's probably trying to extinguish the seven-colored flame." Fox Fairy said, then suddenly smiled: "It's a pity that you added fire wine, his wishful thinking, I'm afraid you made a mistake."

Song Yang could not understand what the two of them were talking about, but the rain was not the right time at all, "A night of heavy rain, and how many crops have been destroyed? From the looks of it, if this continues, I'm afraid that this year will not last, the entire village will only be able to count on the crops on the ground, the livestock suffered before the disaster and now the crops on the ground, even if the demons do not come out, the villagers will not be able to live."

This was Zhang Nan, the Zhang Nan who remembered the commoners' clothes, the Zhang Nan who was worried that the commoners would not be able to eat their fill.

"Now that things have come to this, the dead are certain. They can't be avoided." Song Yang rationally thought that if he could solve the problem two days ago, it might be possible for it to be avoided, but now, he could only listen to fate.

The torrential rain continued for three days before stopping, but the zhangjiazun had already become a village of water. They were flooded and carried away by the torrential floods, to the point of having more than a dozen people washed away.

The village was filled with wails and wails, wails and cries. The entire zhangjiazun was like a huge water coffin.

And that was not the end. As soon as the rainstorm began, just as everyone was about to go to the ancestral hall to take a look, there was a sudden clap of thunder in the sky, and a bolt of lightning struck the eastern mountain. A flash of light, and with a boom, the eastern mountain was split in half, collapsing.

zhangjiazun was a closed off type of village. One could only exit through the east mountains, the mudslides would flow down, and the roads would be blocked. The entire village could be considered as cut off from the rest of the world, and there would be no chance of escape.

"There really is no way out this time." Fox Fairy looked at the mountain that was still sliding down, and didn't know what to do.

"Look at the collapsed East Mountain. What does it look like?" Zhang Nan narrowed his eyes. He had a nagging feeling that this was a head, and a cat head.

Song Yang also looked to the east mountain, and the more he looked, the more he frowned, and after looking at it from a few other angles, he suddenly roared: "Not good, that's a tiger head, a white tiger."

"Hiss …"

This cry of surprise caused everyone to turn pale with fright. They hurriedly ran to the ancestral hall, but what they saw instead was an inconceivable scene …

At this moment, the area around the ancestral hall was densely packed with black cats. There were at least a thousand of them.

"Why are there so many black cats?" Zhang Nan was at a loss for words, these black cats were drenched in water, their eyes were red, looking very tired, but they kept staring at the ancestral hall, as though they had not slept for a few days.

"They are not monsters. They are here to help." Fox Fairy said as he slowly walked towards the black cats. At this moment, a very large black cat walked to the front and meowed a few times, as if it was talking to Fox Fairy.

"Thank you for your help. You should leave first. Leave this place to us." Fox Fairy said, and got his men to open up a path for the black cats.

The black cat seemed to understand Fox Fairy's words and meowed a few more times. All the black cats turned around and left the ancestral hall one by one, as if they were an organized and disciplined army.

"How do you know they mean no harm? And you're even here to help? " When all the black cats left the village, Song Yang looked at Fox Fairy suspiciously.

"If I open the bluestone slab, perhaps I will understand everything." After Fox Fairy finished speaking, the village chief coincidentally brought his men over. With the series of incidents that happened in the village, the village chief did not doubt Song Yang's words at all.

The entire ancestral hall was made of limestone, and with such a huge incident, the ancestral hall could only be built from the new site. The ancestral hall could only be demolished, and in the end, a huge crater of several hundred square meters was revealed to everyone.

The entire bottom of the pit had been paved with bluestone slabs. There were also rules placed between these slabs, and it was actually a picture of a Five Elements Eight Trigrams.

"Shall we pry it open now?" Zhang Nan looked at these bluestones, one piece probably had more than a few hundred or even a thousand kilograms of weight, if he wanted to pry these slabs apart, it would be a huge project.

"Of course we have to pry." Song Yang nodded, and immediately called for people to come down, but after working with them for around two hours, they were unable to even pry out a single stone tablet.

The workmanship of the stone slabs were very meticulous. The workmanship seemed to be hiding some of the secrets behind them. The size of a toothpick could be seen in the gaps between each stone slate.

It took them great effort to create a gap with the shovel, but none of the dozen or so people were able to pry open the stone slab with all their might.

"Could there be traps?"

Zhang Nan's words suddenly reminded Song Yang, causing his mind to suddenly become much clearer, allowing everyone to go up. He then took out the compass from the east, south, west and north four directions, searching for something.

"Metal, wood, water, fire, earth, five elements. Heaven and Earth is shaking, and there must be some sort of mystery behind this array of slates that are arranged according to the pattern of the five elements!"

Song Yang muttered to himself: "Gan Sanliang, Keng Lianglian, Keng Liuyuan, Jianju, Jianju..."

While muttering some words, Song Yang once again pulled Zhang Nan over. Walking to the center of the room, he made Zhang Nan drip three drops of blood and put three pieces of copper coin on the side; walking to the center, he asked Zhang Nan to drip another three drops of blood and put in another three pieces of copper coins. There were a total of twenty-four drops of blood at eight locations, and twenty-four copper coins.

"The illusions of the heaven and earth are all of the five elements. The world has evolved from gossip to the four elements acting in primal chaos. The five elements are all spent in the water …" Song Yang muttered, and began to walk on the stone slab strangely, with every step he took, he would take out his copper coin sword and hit it thrice, and in the end, walked to the checkpoint, which was in the east direction. The water level of the five elements, suddenly stopped, and lightly stomped on the stone tablet, causing it to move.

That's where it started. From the east, west, north, south, and east, the order of the kangaroons begins. It must be true.

Everyone followed Song Yang's instructions and started, as expected, the group of people did not even manage to pry out a single stone board for two hours, but according to Song Yang's method, all the stone tablets were lifted out of the ancestral hall in less than four hours.

At this time, Zhang Nan curiously took out something that was completely covered by a thick layer of stuff. Upon closer inspection, it was actually firewood, however, it was for a very long time, and there was corpse oil on the firewood, which was extremely sticky and disgusting.

"What's that thing down there?" Zhang Nan looked at the thick firewood, having a bad premonition.

Everyone was also very curious. They moved the firewood aside and discovered that it was actually a pile of bones …
