Chu Junlan followed behind Xiao Xu, and after entering the entrance of the cave, he saw that there seemed to be light at the end of the pitch-black corridor.

The group walked in the direction of the light, and the closer they got there, the clearer the strange sounds became, and the unbearable smell became more and more pungent.

It seemed to be a human cry, mixed with some kind of roar, and even someone endorsing it?

In such a place, there are still people studying?

When the group finally came to Guangming's place, Chu Junlan took a turn and entered the door.

What catches your eye is a very spacious underground space.

The wooden fence is the wall, and there are at least 100 people locked in it! These people are crowded together, like a swarm of rats, crowding each other, pushing each other, someone is crying, someone is chanting something loudly, someone is fighting, someone is sitting on the rotting corpses of others, and there are people, cannibalism......

Look at their feet, all kinds of filth mixed with human bones and carrion, trampled by them without care.

Chu Junlan frowned and almost threw up.

Jing Yu and the others, who came in behind Xiao Xu, were already as earthy as their faces.

Chu Junlan stood outside the fence and observed carefully.

"Those were all men, no women or children."

"Yes." Xiao Xu nodded.

After listening carefully to what they were arguing about, Chu Junlan's complexion became even more subtle.

"They seem to be reciting Zong Mohan's resume?"

"That's right," Xiao Xu nodded, his finger pointed at the people in the prison who were almost no longer called people, and said in a sad voice, "You should see it, these people are imitating a person, from the old man to the weak-crowned young man, all of them are imitating Zong Mohan." ”

Chu Junlan slowly turned his head to look at Xiao Xu.

Xiao Xu said: "The secret of the immortality of the Lord of Tiandao Mountain is that the clan of their sect will collect children who look a little similar to the earliest Zong Mohan, and teach them to imitate Zong Mohan's every move since they were young, let them recite Zong Mohan's experience, and choose one of the suitable ones to imitate Zong Mohan, walk around on Tiandao Mountain, and when people are old and inappropriate, they will be directly thrown into this underground palace and locked up."

"In order not to divulge the secret of the Zong family, those who were not selected in the same period will also be thrown in as garbage, and the Zong family will not provide them with food and drink, they don't want to die, so they can only kill each other. I don't know how many people's flesh I have eaten here to live the year of the sixtieth year......"

"Wow!" As soon as Xiao Xu's voice fell, Jing Yu had already vomited.

Chu Junlan looked at the "Zong Mohan" inside with a pale face, and his heart was cold.

Strictly speaking, the "Zong Mohan" here can no longer be called human, they are desperate to the point of madness, and only the instinct of creatures to hunt each other is left. There were so many of them coming in, and there was not a normal person left who could communicate with them and ask for help.

"This Heavenly Dao Mountain is simply a sin for the sake of fame and fortune!" Chu Junlan gritted his teeth.

"I've been quiet these days and thought back to the scene of that day, and now I wonder if Zong Mohan deliberately brought me here that day."

"You followed Zong Mohan here, and later found out, and was beaten off the cliff by the rest of the people and trapped by the formation?"

"Yes." Xiao Xu nodded.

Chu Junlan said thoughtfully: "Then I'm afraid, our people won't be able to catch Zong Mohan." ”

Xiao Xu replied lightly, took Chu Junlan's hand and walked out.

"I'm afraid that since Tiandao Mountain offered pills to the emperor's uncle, everything should be the current Zong Mohan's arrangement, he attracted the emperor's attention, and then led us to Tiandao Mountain step by step, led me to discover the secrets on the mountain, and used us to lead the troops to raid Tiandao Mountain."

Chu Junlan remembered that when she met Zong Mohan that day, his dead pig was not afraid of boiling water.

Maybe it was really as Xiao Xu said, from attracting the emperor's attention to them to stepping on the land of Tiandao Mountain, everything was under Zong Mohan's control.

After leaving the dungeon, breathing in the cold air of winter, the rotten stench and gore were all thrown away.

The mountain was already in chaos, the three thousand battalions of soldiers and horses were very strong, plus Xiao Xu's guards and the men and horses of Cheng Zhixian who hurried to hear the news, before dark, all the clan families on the mountain, whether they were the main family or the clan relatives, were all tied up and registered.

"Shizi, this family is simply not human, and the few inconspicuous courtyards behind the Zong's mansion are full of children. The younger ones are still in infancy, and the older ones are already seventeen or eighteen years old, and the daily lesson of each of them is to recite Zong Mohan's life, imitate Zong Mohan's every move, and learn the magic that Zong Mohan should learn. ”

Jing Yu's eyes were red, and he wiped his face and said, "I asked carefully, many of them are a little different when they grow up, and they never come back after being taken away." None of them are members of the Zong family, they are all children bought by the Zong family from everywhere. ”

Xiao Xu nodded, looked back at Cheng Zhixian, and said with a smile: "It is really shocking that on the Immortal Mountain under the jurisdiction of Lord Cheng, there is such a new inheritance method. ”

Cheng Zhixian sweated like rain, and wanted to intercede for himself, but he didn't know what to say, because he was inferior to You Meng, You Meng led the troops to Anza in place and did not move, but he left early with people, and the future princess asked him to search, and he also said that the prince became an immortal.

"God, these thieves in Tiandao Mountain, it's just, it's lawless!" Cheng Zhixian's face was pale, his brain couldn't move, and he held back for a long time before he could hold back such a sentence.

"yes, lawlessness." Chu Junlan chuckled, "I have to tell the emperor about this matter first, and ask the emperor to cut it, after all, the crime of bullying the monarch is a felony, and persecuting so many people is another felony." ”

Cheng Zhixian shook his hands, wiped his sweat with his sleeve, and nodded again and again.

While speaking, the people of the 3,000 battalion escorted the patriarch of the sect head and his party over. These people were all tied into zongzi and strung together with a rope, and when they passed by Chu Junlan and Xiao Xu, the old patriarch and clan elder of the clan who had met Chu Junlan that night were all stunned.

Chu Junlan smiled: "The people of your family have worked so hard, they may be about to become immortals, right?" ”

The patriarch of the sect almost rolled his eyes angrily, he was trembling all over, and he didn't know whether he was cold or excited.

"You young people, you dare to search our Tiandao Mountain......"

"Don't worry, even if we search, it won't delay you becoming immortals." Chu Junlan listened impatiently to his shouting, and with a wave of his hand, Cheng Zhixian and You Mengli quickly blocked the mouths of these people with rags.

Instead of resting on the mountain, they came to the camp where three thousand battalions were stationed at the bottom of the mountain.

Chu Junlan and Xiao Xu entered the main tent that You Meng gave up, Xiao Xu sat on the wooden bed tiredly, his eyes were about to open, Chu Junlan sat beside him and called for him.
