Chapter 29: The Price
From that day on, the little boy and his companions would be forced to soak in a jar by the master every day, which was just like the big jar under Zhou An, but it was not so big.
The jar was also filled with some liquid, which was not as viscous as it is now, just like water, and there was no need for a special fire to heat it underneath.
In the words of the master of these children, this is to help them make their bodies softer, so that they can practice a kind of bone-shrinking kung fu, and when this kung fu is practiced, it will be the day when they leave the teacher, and they will be able to perform with the master.
Hearing this, the children's energy was immediately stimulated, and their master also said that the longer they persisted, the easier it would be to practice kung fu.
In this way, a contest of refusal to admit defeat spread among these children, and everyone wanted to perform well in front of the master, so that they could become the most favored disciple in front of the master.
The little boy was no exception, and when he left with the master, his father's words kept hovering in the little boy's ears, and whenever he couldn't hold on anymore, his father's voice would appear, as if he was cheering him up in his ears.
Every time, it was the little boy who persevered to the end, and the master's love for him became more and more.
They need to soak in the jar every day, and their own snake companions, and they don't know what the liquid has on their snake companions, each little snake grows extremely fast, and almost every day it gets a little bigger.
This went on for a long time, and it was not until the little boy was able to hold on to the altar for a whole day that the Master's true nature was revealed, and the exit of the jar was sealed, and the children were not allowed to come out.
In the small jar, there is no room for children to resist, and they can only be forced to live in the jar every day.
The most terrifying thing is not this situation, but their legs have slowly grown together because they can't move for a long time, and because of the addition of those liquids.
As the days passed, every day there were children who could not hold on, either because of this situation or because of that situation, and in the end there were less than ten children left.
A month later, their master smashed the altar, and the remaining seven or eight children fell from the altar to the ground at once, each of them stiff and only able to twist his hands and head twice.
And then waiting for them are the skinned from the waist down, the human skin is stripped raw, and with them are the snake companions of their own choosing.
After that, of course, the snakeskins were wrapped around their bodies.
By the time he said this, the human-faced snake's eyes were already red, and he didn't know how he had survived, and his friends were suffering a lot every day.
"We screamed, and we wanted to pull off the snake skin that was wrapped around us, but Master refused and tied our hands......
"I saw a little girl next to me, convulsing every day until finally she didn't move......
These painful memories seemed to be placed in front of it, and everyone in the cave was quietly listening to it, listening to it tell about the suffering in the process of changing the skin, which was not much lighter than the torture.
But no one could have imagined that the human-faced snake actually laughed weirdly again, and then swam to Wang Chenglong's side.
"Now, do you still want to change your skin?"
Wrapped up by the human face snake, Wang Chenglong couldn't stop trembling, he didn't expect that changing the skin would need to go through such painful torture, what he wanted was to live forever, this is also what the human face snake promised him.
Before that, I didn't talk about this kind of pain that I still had to bear.
Compared with Wang Chenglong's hesitation, his wife and his daughter-in-law are much happier, compared with being able to live forever, what is the point of suffering, what kind of benefits do you want, what kind of price you have to pay, this is the principle of heaven since ancient times.
Zhou An looked at these two women in some surprise, they had much more insight and ideas than Wang Chenglong, and the words they said were not much different from the concepts he had always adhered to, but they were used in crooked places.
"Wang Chenglong, you are even more mother-in-law than the two of them, where is it so easy to want my human skin."
"If you want to live forever, how can you do it without paying some price?"
