Shouldn't the zombies' home be a grave? If they go in, the scene will change and they will find themselves in someone else's grave. How scary and creepy would that be?
"Let's go, it's okay, he won't dare to play tricks again!" Lan Ziye said with a helpless smile.
Seeing Zeng Li still hesitant, she said, "If you really don't want to go in, just wait for us here!"
Zeng Li thought for a moment and said, "I'll help you guard the wooden house!"
Yes, she has to stay with Lan Ziye. If the wooden house turns into a grave, she can find a way to save the young lady as soon as possible!
Seeing Zeng Li's determination, Lan Ziye did not force her, but went into the wooden house alone with the man.
The cabin was clean, with a main room and a bedroom. In the main room was a square table and two benches. On the table were three or four stacked bowls, and half a bowl of leftover pickles covered with a net. Two thermoses sat on the floor next to the table.
"This is Fenghuang Village. My brother and I are just doing business in the town. We are not locals. Fenghuang Village is too poor. In the past two years, most of the villagers have gone to the city to work. Only a few elderly, weak, women and children are left at home in the whole village. Those who can afford it have even brought their parents and children to the city. So in the whole village, there are not many families with elderly, weak, women and children! My brother and I live in the most remote part of our village. You just saw it. It's all fields. There are only two families, one is my family and the other is my brother's family! Therefore, not many people come to visit our house. I am in the coffin business, which is considered unlucky in the eyes of humans, so even fewer people come!" The man took a bowl from the table, poured water in it, and handed it to Lan Ziye, saying, "So, there is not even a cup at home. Please don't be shy!"
Lan Ziye smiled calmly and said, "I just want to ask you a few questions!" After saying that, he did not drink the water poured by the man.
Having just seen the man’s true appearance, who can drink the tea he poured?
"Ask me, I will tell you what I know!" said the man.
"Why is it that there is no return after going to Phoenix Mountain?" Lan Ziye asked.
The man was silent for a moment before saying, "There are many mutated wild beasts on that mountain. People here call them demon beasts. They are Master Suzaku's pets and his experimental subjects. They have no intelligence and bite anything they see. We demon beasts with some abilities are fine; we can hide and fight, but humans who go up the mountain are not so lucky!"
"In addition, in addition to the monster beasts, there are many monster tribes on the mountain, but most of them are monster generals, and there is only one monster king, Lord Suzaku! The monster tribes all obey Lord Suzaku. If anyone disobeys, Lord Suzaku will burn them to death with the fire of extreme yang. Countless monster tribes have died from Lord Suzaku's extreme yang fire. Lord Suzaku also absorbs human yang energy, so those monster tribes, in order to please Lord Suzaku, will capture anyone who comes up the mountain and bring them to the Suzaku Palace for Lord Suzaku to feast on!"
"But Lord Suzaku has a rule. It's okay to capture and kill people, but you are not allowed to harm the people below the mountain. No one below the mountain is allowed to move, otherwise you will be punished!"
"Also, there are still many places on Phoenix Mountain that are filled with fog and miasma, and some plants are poisonous, so of course no one has ever come down the mountain alive!"
"Oh, right, the main reason no one has come down the mountain alive is Lord Suzaku's order. Lord Suzaku said that in order to protect our Phoenix Mountain, no one is allowed to leave the mountain alive! He said that if anyone leaves the mountain alive, the secret of Phoenix Mountain will be revealed, and then we will all be in trouble!"
