The huge bronze gate, carved with dragons and phoenixes, is like a door leading to a whole new world.

Lu Ming pushed open the door full of expectations. Accompanied by the old creaking sound, the bronze door was slowly pushed open, but what greeted his eyes was an unimaginable scene, as if two worlds were separated by a door. The moment it was opened, it fell into dead silence.

Behind the bronze gate, Lu Ming and others stared wide-eyed, staring at everything in front of them.

There are two rows of neat and simple houses here, which should be the place where the descendants of the Mo family who guarded this place lived.

However, this place is not empty, but there are hundreds of people. They are naked and have messy hair. When they see strangers, they are as surprised as seeing a new species.

Everyone stood there dumbfounded, watching Lu Ming and the others quietly, and Lu Ming and the others also looked at them quietly.

The only sound is the sound of the flames in the blazing stoves outside some houses.

"This?" Shangguan He looked at these people in disbelief, and shouted, "Are you the ones in charge of guarding this place?"

No one responded to him, but it seemed that everyone was awakened from the shock by Shangguan Crane's roar, and then they started to work as if nothing had happened. The hole crawled in.

It is not difficult to see that these people are responsible for the normal operation of the Mohist organization.

Lu Ming glanced at it, and finally his eyes fell on the top of the grotto. There is a small hole on the top of the tens of feet high grotto, which is the only way out of here.

"Shi Huan?" Suddenly, Shi Xiu called out a name.

A naked woman with a big belly seemed to be surprised by the name. She turned her head slowly, her expression still a little dull.

"Shi Huan, it's really you! You're still alive."

Shi Xiu shouted, and was about to rush forward, but was blocked by Lu Ming.

These people looked dull, like puppets, and had lost their sense of autonomy after being held for a long time.

Shi Xiu shouted loudly: "Shi Huan, it's me, I'm Shi Xiu, don't you remember me?"

The girl named Shi Huan was sent here during the sacrifice last year. Shi Xiu thought she was dead, but she didn't expect her to appear here, and she was pregnant with a big belly.

Under Shi Xiu's constant shouting, a gleam gradually appeared in Shi Huan's dull eyes, and tears flowed down subconsciously.

"Shi Huan, Shi Huan..." She kept repeating her name, and gradually there was a change in her dull eyes, first frightened and then sad.

"Go, go, Shi Xiu, run, or you will be arrested."

Shi Huan roared suddenly, and immediately rushed towards Shi Xiu, she stumbled and fell into Shi Xiu's arms.

Lu Ming took off his coat and put it on Shi Huan.

"Go, go, you guys go, or you will be arrested, go..." Shi Huan was still talking excitedly.

Shi Xiu burst into tears. This is her best sister in the village, but now she has become like this.

Lu Ming comforted him softly: "No one will hurt you anymore, tell me what's going on."

"Master, master, anyone who dares to resist will die." Shi Huan's eyes widened, and the color of fear was obvious.

Under the continuous comfort of Lu Ming and Shi Xiu, Shi Huan's mood gradually stabilized. From her mouth, I learned that there is no mountain god here, but a vicious person who lives in captivity. with a scary animal.

The animal she was talking about should be the mountain monkey.

And Shijia Village offers sacrifices to the mountain god every year, and those people who sacrificed are brought here. They live numbly, doing mechanical work repeatedly every day, that is, to maintain this huge mechanism array.

The only value of these women sent here is to be responsible for extending their lives, and the children they give birth to will be enslaved since they were young. Like these people, they will live without consciousness or thought until one day they can no longer do anything. If you move, you will be executed.

Listening to Shi Huan's narration, everyone realized that, except for some children, the people here are all strong and strong people. Once they are over 40 years old, they will be executed by their so-called masters.

Cruel, this kind of inhumane rule and captivity made Lu Ming's eyes glow with killing intent.

But the more appalling thing is yet to come. According to Shi Huan, the owner here will choose a spouse among these people, and their children will start training when they are young, and eventually kill each other. Only the most powerful person can become the next here. Master, continue to rule here slaves.

"This is simply inhumane!" Yao Qingxiu clenched his fists and creaked.

He Xinyi also sighed: "Yes, in order to maintain the operation of the underground palace, that person did not hesitate to treat these people like livestock!"

And this cruel fact has been going on for many years. Not long after the descendants of the Mo family chose to leave with ancient boxes and keys, the servants of the Mo family in Shijia Village have gradually become a supply to maintain the normal operation of the place and provide the population. stand.

It is hard to imagine that this cruel purgatory-like place has existed for hundreds, even thousands of years, and how many people were born and died here.

Lu Ming sighed softly and stood up, "In order to guard the underground palace, the ideas of the descendants of the Mohist family have been deeply ingrained. It's just a pity that those who really understand the last wishes of the Mohist ancestors have left here."

Shangguan He didn't care about everything here, he asked, "Lu Ming, what do you mean by that?"

"Can't you see it! The mechanism of the Niushan Ancient Tomb is exactly the same as here. The reason why they were excavated by you is because they have limited manpower and material resources! They have the same root and origin, and they are descendants of the Mohist family!" Lu Ming looked gloomy.

Ignoring Shangguanhe on the side, she looked at He Xinyi and asked, "Xinyi, can your illusion erase the memory of these people and restore them?"

"It's possible, but..." He Xinyi was a little bit embarrassed, and said: "After all, some people here were born here, and this is the only place in their memory and cognition. It is somewhat difficult to rewrite the memory with the help of illusion. .”

For those who were born and raised here, memory is like a blank sheet of paper, except for repeated work, they do not have any memory.

Lu Ming sighed and said, "As much as you can save."

He Xinyi nodded heavily, maybe erasing the memory and giving them a new memory is the real starting point of their life!
Roar……

At this moment, there was a beast roar from the top of the grotto, and then everyone walked into the room in an orderly manner.

Shi Huan instinctively wanted to get up and walk back, but was held tightly by Shi Xiu.

Lu Ming and the others looked up at the top of the grotto. A long-haired monkey was hanging upside down on it. On the back of the mountain monkey was a man with a bare upper body and disheveled hair. He was the so-called master here. !

"Just in time!" Lu Ming clenched his fists and creaked.

I have witnessed the unimaginable scene here, if I don't vent it, I'm afraid I will feel aggrieved in the future!
