Chapter 627: Eat the bitter fruit

There is a city at the foot of the Flame Mountain. People here have been suffering from this land since they were born. The raging fire on the mountain would evaporate even a drop of sweat. Each of the people here is full of body, all of them are black and thin bodies, and their eyes emit a look of despair. They look at the sky, the ground, the Flame Mountain, and the fallen companions around them.

What exactly is the reason why the people in Flame City did not choose to escape?

After Zhang Yang flew away, Ye'er followed the little girl's footsteps toward the direction of the Flame City. After entering the city, the temperature became even hotter, and water continued to come out of Ye'er to cool her down.

Some people around saw water constantly gushing out of Ye'er. They all ran behind her on all sides like evil spirits, drinking water on the ground.

Ye'er ignored them and followed the little girl to a house. He saw the little girl stuffing the vine in her hand into an old man's mouth and let him drink water. The old man tasted the water like nectar, and immediately became energetic and started drinking it in big gulps.

Although there are a large number of houses here, they are almost all decorations. No one will live in the house. They just lie outside every day, at least the temperature is lower than inside.

Gradually, people in the city gathered at the little girl's house, and they all came for the water on Ye'er.

"Bodhisattva, please give us water to drink." Everyone shouted in unison.

"Have your ancestors lived in this Flame Mountain for generations?" Ye Er asked.

"Yes, female Bodhisattva, this is our destiny." The little girl's grandfather struggled to sit up and said to Ye'er: "From my grandfather's generation, they have been born to suffer and suffer in this Flame Mountain until they die. Their descendants will also live here, with no end."

"Then why don't you leave here?" Ye'er asked.

"Oh..." The old man sighed and didn't say anything.

At this time, a burst of blue smoke emerged from the land in front of Ye'er, and then a land master emerged. He bowed to Ye'er, respecting her very much, and calling her a Bodhisattva.

"The Bodhisattva comes from afar, and the little immortal is missing and welcomes him. I hope the Bodhisattva will not hold a grudge against the little immortal." said the Duke of Land.

"Don't be polite to me. I didn't call you, just come out. There must be something wrong." Ye'er said.

Ye'er looked through the little thoughts of the Land Lord. He coughed awkwardly, and then said, "Sure enough, I can't hide it from the Bodhisattva, so the little immortal said it."

It turned out that the Land Lord of the Flame Mountain was originally a Taoist who guarded the alchemy furnace in Tushita Palace. Later, after Sun Wukong kicked over the alchemy furnace, the charcoal fire below the furnace fell to this land, forming a flame man who burned for many years and never extinguished. The Taishang Laojun blamed him for his negligence.

So he demoted him to the mortal world and came to the Fire Mountain to become the Land Lord. After all, he was also a god in the sky. Now he has fallen into such a ghost place to become the Land Lord. He dares not speak out. Now he finally got the opportunity to meet a disciple under Guanyin Bodhisattva. He must seize this opportunity no matter what, strive to accumulate merits and then return to heaven.

In addition, the people here have lived at the foot of the Flame Mountain for generations, and there are also very profound reasons for cause and effect. Before the Flame Mountain, this land was originally a business road. Although the terrain was dangerous, it was much better than today.

The merchants passing through this land are all taking risks and going to the Western Regions to make a lot of money, and they are very ambitious. Therefore, although there are fewer people walking, there are still people passing by. In this land, there are not only the harsh factors of the natural environment, but also the more terrifying ones are the bandits who lie here all year round.

The bandits are all fugitives gathered from all over the place, and there are people who are in a bad life and need money in urgent need. These people kill people like grass for money, and they are completely bloodthirsty demons.

Because they tasted a lot of sweetness, they kept staying here and robbed women from passing by, and even children were not spared. Therefore, the family continued to grow. They continued to rob caravans from passing by, and their power continued to grow. Finally, a robber family was formed, and a city was built here.

They are also very smart and will not kill everyone, so that someone will pass through safely, so that people from outside will be lucky and they will enter.

However, one day, when they continued to do evil as usual, the sky suddenly became red, and huge red clouds fell from the sky like monsters, dyeing the entire sky blood-red. After the charcoal fire wrapped in the red clouds fell, it hit the land, forming a huge burning mountain.

The Flame Mountain came without warning, and the group of people were cursed because of this. They lived here for generations and could never get out.

"Why can't you get out?" Ye'er didn't quite understand what the Tudigong meant. She clearly saw that the little girl had just walked out of the Flame City.

"The Bodhisattva doesn't know anything. Not far from the Flame Mountain, there is a Cuiyun Mountain. There is a banana cave in the mountain. There is a princess of Iron Fan. She was ordered by God to come here to take care of the people here. Once someone wants to escape, she will cast a terrible spell to prevent the person from dying. Then she will throw him into the Flame Mountain and burn him for seven days and seven nights. After coming out, she either dies or is crazy. No one dares to escape again."

Ye'er thought that Zhang Yang was just looking for Princess Iron Fan? Will this Princess Iron Fan hurt Zhang Yang? Thinking of this, Ye'er became anxious, but she still wanted to solve the troubles of the people here first. Five hundred years of painful punishment, together with the descendants of those wicked people, was enough. What she had to do now is to help them destroy the fire in the Flame Mountain.

"How should the fire in Flame Mountain be extinguished?" Ye Er asked.

"Bodhisattva, Xiaoxian heard that this fire must be destroyed by the banana fan in the hand of Princess Iron Fan, but this banana fan is not easy to borrow." said the Tudigong, "You don't know that because I was a Taoist in the Tushita Palace back then, I also know some of the origins of Princess Iron Fan."

According to Tudigong, the Iron Fan Princess was originally the adopted daughter of Taishang Laojun. He was an abandoned baby he adopted when he was traveling around the mortal world. Taishang Laojun calculated the matter of the Flame Mountain and knew that these were all fate, so he sent Princess Iron Fan to manage the residents of the Flame Mountain and let them suffer a catastrophe of five hundred years.

Now that the five hundred years are about to expire, it is logical that Princess Iron Fan should return to the Tushita Palace, but in the past five hundred years, Princess Iron Fan got married. She fell in love with the Niu Demon King and gave birth to a white and fat boy named "Red Boy".
