The Secret History of Xuanmen

Chapter 321 Brother-in-law
When I saw these skinned corpses, I was shocked.

Although I have long been accustomed to seeing corpses, the bloody corpse in front of me is obviously unusual.

Their skins were completely peeled off. Reminiscent of the snake man beside them, it was easy to tell that the human skin was not peeled off, but shed off like a snake.

Could it be that this is our fate?Will we eventually become one of the blood corpses?
Enduring the pain of being strangled by the snake man, I hurriedly asked Taishan: "Taishan, where is this? What is the contract you are talking about? Why does it turn into a bloody corpse when I open my eyes?"

Taishan said directly: "This is what we call the Dharma Realm. You can't tell exactly where it is. You just need to know that this is the only way to Thousand Machines City."

"Dharma Realm should have been a space used to worship heaven in ancient times. It is guarded by a group of sealed snake people, which is equivalent to blocking the road between Qianji City and the outside world."

"Back then, Grandmaster and a group of sages came here and finally signed a soul contract with the snake people. Mortals can pass through the Dharma Realm, but they must be carried by snake people. So once we enter the Dharma Realm, we have accepted this contract."

"When the snake people are carrying us, they will blend with our souls through soul bonds and transform into our appearance. During this period, they will continue to bewitch us and do everything possible to lure us into opening our eyes."

"And once our eyes are opened, it is equivalent to violating the contract, and they can suck our souls. When our souls are completely sucked out, we will become shed blood corpses and become the sacrifices here."

Seeing Taishan say this, I finally roughly understood the situation in front of me.

I hurriedly said to him: "Then there is no way to resolve this calamity? Now that we can't cast spells, can we really just wait to die?"

Taishan replied: "Normally, as long as we stick to our minds, we will not suffer. But over the years, there are always people who have fallen here because of their arrogance and curiosity, including many of the great masters of the temple, but still no one has been spared. .”

Taishan's meaning is very clear, there is only one way for us to die.

Naturally, I would not wait to die. I immediately struggled hard to get rid of the snake man's shackles, but the harder I tried, the tighter it tightened. It was indeed difficult to succeed with physical strength alone.And at this moment, the voice that bewitched me before sounded again in the ears of the paper-man dog-like 'I': "Master, save me, save me."

Zhe gave me a glimmer of hope, so 'I' hurriedly said from the distance: "Who are you and where are you?"

When 'I' just said something, a creaking sound suddenly came from the center of the altar not far away, as if some unparalleled demon was about to be born.

Taishan hurriedly said to 'me': "Hey, boy, stop talking."

At this time, Qin Hongli, who was in pain, yelled at me impatiently: "Zhao Goucheng, you useless fool, you really killed us, you are about to die, what are you talking nonsense about? "

As soon as she finished speaking, she seemed to have thought of something, and said from a distance: "Hello, senior, we are all pious people and have not violated the contract. It is all the fault of this little fool, he opened his eyes, and there are both wrongs and debts. Lord, let us go, and he will bear the punishment.”

This woman is really cruel, as if 'I' are just a dispensable tool.

And this mistake was indeed made by me, so 'I' also said: "Blame me, blame me. She is right, I opened my eyes alone. You can do anything you ask me to do, just let them go."

As I said that, I walked towards the altar, which was the direction from which the cry for help came.

Seeing 'I' say and do this, Qin Hongli was a little surprised, and couldn't help but said: "You little fool, you are still kind, since you have the courage to admit this mistake. If your life can save everyone's life, I Qin Hongli will recognize you as my brother-in-law from now on!"
