The "ghost head" wanted to say to Mu Mangzi and the three of them, "If Pingdubo doesn't let the three of you go, it's none of my business", but the words came to his lips and didn't say anything. , the latest chapter access: ШШШ.79xs.СоМ .

After thanking them and saying goodbye to a few "ghosts", Mu Mangzi and the three of them looked in the direction pointed by the head and slowly walked and watched.

They found that this underground palace was actually extended in all directions, and they did not dare to 'mess around', so they walked directly forward, and first found a group of terrifying sculptures.

Most of them are clay sculptures, some are root carvings, some are stone carvings, some are pottery, and some are made directly from dried corpses.

The 'hairy' roots of the three of them immediately stood up.

The themes expressed in this group of sculptures are even more terrifying: there are those who cut the tongue of a woman with a knife, those who use a saw to see the waist of a person, those who burn a living person with fire, those who put a person in the thorns of an iron tree, those who tie a person to a red copper pillar with chrome, those who use large scissors to cut a person whole, those who put a person on the feet of cows and horses and other animals, those who put a person in boiling water, and those who put a person in a nest and use a pestle to lick it.

Ji Mengyu trembled and asked Mu Mangzi: "What does this plastic mean?"

Mu Mangzi smiled: "You go and ask the 'female' who was cut off." However, I suspect that it is possible to shape various criminal laws. ”

Wu Cheng still walked in the front, turned back to Yu Meng, and said, "You Ba people, it's really vicious, this kind of torture can be inflicted!"

Yu Mengyu replied: "You Chu people, isn't there no torture?"

Mu Mangzi did not expect to be bad, the theme of these sculptures is the scene of the prisoner's torture. In the sculpture, the torturers are glaring, smiling, and expressionless. The tortured person has only one expression: extreme pain.

Walking past this group of sculptures, in front of them, there were indeed some people rehearsing some show.

The performers are still dressed in makeup, most of them are like ghosts, some have green faces and fangs, some are as black as charcoal, and some are as white as snow.

Of course, there are also beautiful young 'women', and there are also people who don't have time to put on makeup.

Those who were rehearsing or preparing for rehearsals had never seen these three people, but since they could walk around the dungeon at will, and were still watching and commenting, some people speculated that it was a master invited by Ping Dubo from afar to guide the performance.

In all the performances, the audience is a booster, and seeing these three audiences, the performances are even harder, and they pretend to be more real than the real thing.

Yu Mengyu found that their performances were similar to the labor scenes and life scenes performed by the Hu'anshan people, but there were also many differences, more like they came from a foreign land.

This made the dream, who was born with a love of singing and dancing, more interested in observation. After watching it for a short time, she found that their performances were closer to the witch dance performed by the great wizard of Hu'an Mountain, Lu Rui, and her brother Gu Menglong.

Yu Mengyu secretly said in his heart: "Could it be that these people are all wizards?"

Of course, Yumengyu's guess is wrong, most of these people are not shamans, but ordinary people, and they perform traditional dances handed down from their tribe.

It turned out that this branch of Pingdubo did not belong to the Pu people, who were the most commonly distributed in Ba country, but belonged to a branch of the ancient ghost country (it is also said that there was a southern migration of the Qiang tribe called the ghost tribe in Tianshui, southern Gansu. This book is not a history book, nor is it a treatise, so I will not argue).

Ghost Fang is a northern nomadic group in ancient China, an Indo-European ethnic group that lived in the grasslands of northern China as early as the prehistoric period, that is, the old department of Yao Shun who lived in Beiye before the unification of Shanrong, Lynx and smoked porridge.

The ghost side, known as the Lynx and Yan Yun in the Zhou period, lived in the north of the Xiongnu and the north of Kangju.

At the beginning of the Zhou Dynasty, after King Wu destroyed the Shang, he drove the Guifang tribe to the north of Jing and Luo (now Jing River and Luo River in Shaanxi), and ordered them to pay tribute on time. Later, as the Zhou army suppressed the rebellion of Guan Shu, Cai Shu and Wu Geng in the east, and attacked Zhun Yi in the east, etc., and relaxed its control over the northwest, the Ghost Fang tribe took the opportunity to invade the northwest border of the Western Zhou Dynasty from the west of Qizhou (present-day Qishan, Shaanxi) and Long (present-day Qianyang and Longxian, Shaanxi), threatening the Zhou capital Haojing (present-day Xi'anxi, Shaanxi).

In order to eliminate the border troubles, King Kang of Zhou ordered Yu to lead a large army to attack the ghost side. The ghost side also mobilized troops to meet the battle.

In the twenty-fifth year of King Kang of Zhou (about the 11th century BC), Wang Shi defeated the ghost party, and the ghost country was destroyed.

It was during this period that a group of Guifang people entered the upper reaches of the Yangtze River by unknown means, and settled in the area of Pingdu (now Fengdu) in the later country of Pakistan.

As this group of ghost people gradually became stronger, they clashed with the original Pu people (dragons, snakes, and Ba people) who lived in the area of the orange area, and fought many times. The tenacious ghost people took advantage of the more advanced witchcraft that the Ba people also believed to be true, and gained a firm foothold in the Pingdu area.

Later, the Baihuba people of Yishui (Qingjiang) entered the lower reaches of the Wujiang River, and the Guifang people of Pingdu took the opportunity to take refuge in the Baihuba people, and made great contributions to the Longsnakeba people who conquered the citrus land for the Baihuba people.

The ghost people who came from afar completely occupied Pingdu.

Later, the monarch of Ba, who established the national capital in Jiangzhou (Chongqing), made the leader of the ghost people in Pingdu at that time an earl, which was the same rank as the Hu'an Shan clan.

Over time, this group of Ghost Fang people has been assimilated into the Ba people and has become an authentic Ba people, but they still retain some unique tribal traditions.

I don't know when, this ghost party inadvertently discovered several natural deep pits under the ground of Pingdu City, and after years of manual excavation, the connection between the deep pits was opened up to form an underground palace.

First, they sculpted the ancestors and gods of the ghost people in the underground palace as a commemoration and a place of sacrifice; later, generation after generation of ghost people placed more sculptures in the underground palace, forming a relatively complete memorial hall of the history, humanity and customs of the ghost people.

Because the statues and idols of the ancestors are sacred in the eyes of the ghost people, and even more real than the real existence, their underground palace, except for the people of the clan, cannot enter the underground palace. The other tribes didn't know that under the ground of Pingdu City, there was a dungeon for hiding ghosts (ancestors).

Every year, on the day of the battle between the final destruction of the ghost country and the **, the descendants of the ghost side of Pingdu will hold an important ceremony in the underground palace to commemorate the disappeared homeland. At the commemoration, their greatest leader (Tuber) will be "resurrected." At the same time as him, he was "resurrected" by the people and objects of the time of Tuber.

Because it is an activity to commemorate the destruction of the homeland, in order to avoid being misunderstood by other Pakistani people, especially the Pakistani office, that they want to restore the country and have the idea of rebellion, therefore, their activities are held in secret in the underground palace, and outsiders do not know - perhaps, in the eyes of modern people, their approach is quite stupid, rather than this, it is better to be generous, but to reduce suspicion. However, the Ba people do not necessarily see it this way, and in the eyes of the closed and 'superstitious' Ba people, the worship (faith) with great differences is mutually exclusive and even hostile, and they do not hesitate to fight for it.

While gossiping, Mu Mangzi and the three of them had already watched a few performances, walked to the place where the food was placed, and were eating uninvited, when suddenly, they heard the sound of hurried footsteps and the wails of 'women' and children on the stone steps leading to the ground not far ahead.

As soon as this voice came, everyone in the dungeon was taken aback.

After the ghost party, the people immediately stopped rehearsals and rushed over to see what was going on.

At this time, dozens of panicked men, women, and women came down from the stone steps, and most of them were women' and children.

Mu Mangzi and the three of them were also surprised when they saw that they suddenly became 'chaotic' and 'chaotic', and when they came to hear it, they realized that a big thing had happened in Pingdu, and these people who came down were all people from Pingdubo's mansion, and they came to the palace to escape from the trouble and escaped through the underground passage.

The three of Mu Mangzi, who were enjoying the exotic dance, suddenly encountered such a thing, and had to admit their bad luck, and what they wanted to know most was what happened and whether they could leave the underground palace smoothly. However, no one is in the mood to give them a clear explanation, or a clear explanation.

Mu Mangzi, Yu Mengyu, and Wu Cheng were continuing to find someone to inquire about the situation, and a 'female' person came down from the stone steps, about thirty years old, gorgeously dressed, quite 'colorful', and extraordinary. Behind her, several samurai followed.

Hearing an old 'woman' call her "Mrs. Yu'er", Yu Mengyu immediately understood that this 'woman' was not an ordinary person, but a well-known favorite concubine of Ping Dubo.

Yu Mengyu had heard her story, but she had never met her, and she didn't know that this "Mrs. Yu'er" was the former secret lover of Hu Ben Chi Fearless (Chu Wei) in Hu'an Palace, and she was also the 'female' person that Chi Fearless missed the most.

Yu Mengyu said a word to Mu Mangzi, squeezed over, and asked "Mrs. Yu'er" what happened.

"Mrs. Yu'er" was taken aback when she saw that although she was dressed normally, she couldn't hide her fairy-like face and romantic attitude, and she didn't know her, and said, "Who are you?"

Yu Mengyu said eagerly: "It doesn't matter who I am, what is going on outside, can I still get out?"
