Chapter 475: Chapter 465: Searching for the Path to the Forbidden Area Chapter 475: Chapter 465: Searching for the Path to the Forbidden Area In the small aluminum pot inside the house, hot soup bubbled to chase away the cold. In front of these young ones, Old Peng Three carefully recalled the legend of Peng Village.

“Xiaotang,”

“Old Three, I’m here,” Tang Zelin responded.

Old Peng Three looked at him and said, “Perhaps the child you’re looking for was taken to that Forbidden Area deep in these mountains.”

“Old Three, what do you mean by that?”

“In Peng Mountain, there’s a Forbidden Area. It has been passed down for centuries. From the day the village was founded, counting down, it’s quite a few generations. That place, appearing and disappearing unpredictably, is not easily found by ordinary people, but there is one way to find it.”

“What way?”

Old Peng Three leaned against the wall, both hands tucked into his sleeves, his voice somewhat deep.

“You need to find five Yang Boys and five Yin Girls. On a full moon night, they must venture into the mountain to explore. If fate allows, they may open the gate to the Forbidden Area. If not, best case, they escape; worst case, they die in these mountains.”

Tang Zelin furrowed his brow, “Yang Boys, Yin Girls?”

“It means five boys born in Yang years, Yang months and on Yang days, and five girls born in Yin years, Yin months and on Yin days. Pair them up, Yin and Yang opposing, along with some items, and you can find where the Forbidden Area is,” explained Old Peng Three.

“Mhm, go on,” urged Tang Zelin.

“As for what’s actually inside the Forbidden Area of Peng Mountain, the older generation never said. Allegedly, an ancestor saw something there once, but after coming out, he refused to speak of it and soon left Peng Village. Whether he has descendants or not, no one knows. Since then, anyone who entered never came out alive.”

“So you suspect that someone found these children and brought them into the mountain to find the way?”

Old Peng Three nodded, “Drinking brings trouble, drinking really brings trouble. We got carried away in our chattting, but…”

“But what?” Tang Zelin interjected.

Old Peng Three said, “But how did this old blind man know someone took boys and girls into the mountain to find the way? He didn’t say outright, but reflecting on our conversation over drinks from yesterday to today, and considering he mentioned a live chicken and then some bloodletting, the more I think about it, the more uneasy I feel.”

Su Shu had been listening all this while and, after a quick thought, looked up and asked, “Old Three, if the child we’re looking for is indeed among these ten children, what kind of danger could they face?”

Old Peng Three’s expression changed slightly, “Then we really need to make an effort to quickly find where they are. If we can’t find them, we at least need to find Li Half-Blind. Those children are intended for sacrifice, inescapably tortured to death. Years ago, adults who escaped never saw a single child again.”

Su Shu bit her lower lip, calculating the days in her mind, “The day after tomorrow is the full moon. Should we find them before then?”

“Yes, we must find them quickly,” Old Peng Three nodded vigorously, “If someone already took them here, once the full moon passes, even a deity wouldn’t be able to find those people.”

“What kind of Forbidden Area is it, Old Three? Do you know?”

A secret guarded by the people of Peng Village for so many years indeed sparked Tang Zelin’s curiosity.

Old Peng Three turned his head in thought, “In recent decades, no one has sought out that place anymore. The villagers also avoid disturbing the Mountain Guardian God.”

As he said this, Old Peng Three gestured behind him, “In Peng Mountain, there’s a Mountain God Temple, surrounded by valuable things, but they’re untouchable. Touch them and misfortune follows. Villagers initially didn’t believe this, but as it proved true too many times, eventually everyone grew too frightened to go there anymore.”
