Chapter 422: The Immortal Beast comes from Xiandu?
Xu Qiuqian paused.
Then Xiao Hui said, "Mrs. Liao said that the fairy beast has an owner, and the owner of the fairy beast is a fairy. Sister, do you know why the fairy beast lives on the top of the mountain?"
"In order to absorb the essence of the sun and the moon and cultivate to become an immortal."
"No! It's because the fairy beast is waiting for its owner to take it back. Its owner went to an island and never came back. But the fairy beast needs to absorb fairy energy, otherwise it will turn into an ordinary beast. But we don't have fairy energy here, so we can only use girls under the age of sixteen to maintain it."
"Did Grandma Liao tell you all this?"
Xiao Hui nodded: "Sister, don't disbelieve me. I'm telling you, I've seen it before, and that fairy beast is really ugly, so I believe what Grandma Liao said."
Xu Qiuqian pondered for a moment.
"But what does this have to do with my cultivation?"
"Mrs. Liao said that although the fairy beast didn't wait for its master, it had to wait for the fairy city. I heard that the fairy city is full of fairies. If my sister goes to the fairy city and worships the fairies as her teacher, she will definitely be able to cultivate immortality!"
"Xiandu?"
Xiao Hui nodded: "That's where the immortals live."
"I know it's where the immortals live." After all, you know it as soon as you hear it. "But what does it mean to wait until we get to the immortal capital?"
"I don't know either. Grandma Liao said that the immortals are in heaven, and their locations are uncertain."
Hearing this, Xu Qiuqian looked up at the sky in a daze.
Xiandu was in the sky and its location was not fixed. After so many years, Xiandu finally floated over, so the fairy beasts could go home.
For some reason, she always felt that these immortals were inexplicably familiar.
It seemed as if she had heard it before.
But how could that be? She was clearly hearing it for the first time.
After watching for an unknown amount of time, she finally came to her senses again: "How did Granny Liao know?"
Did you hear it from the fairy beast?
Impossible.
Except for the girls who were sent to be sacrificed, no one could see the fairy beasts. Moreover, the girls who were sent to be sacrificed would have their pure souls taken away by the fairy beasts, so naturally they would not be able to tell other people.
Xiao Hui's eyes flickered: "I don't know about that. Anyway, it was Grandma Liao who said that. I gave all my savings to Grandma Liao to ask for you. Grandma Liao would not lie to me.
Sister, when you get to the top of the mountain, you must not make the fairy beast angry, serve it well, maybe it will be happy and will not eat you, and take you back to the fairy capital, and you can practice. "
As Xiaohui spoke, her eyes turned red and tears welled up in her eyes.
"Sister..." She reached out and hugged Xu Qiuqian's arm. The five words "Sister, run away" rolled around in her tongue several times, but she still didn't say them out loud.
Where could he escape to? Xujia Village was too remote, the nearest market was a hundred miles away, and the road was not easy to travel.
Xu Qiuqian didn't notice the flicker in Xiaohui's eyes just now, and nodded seriously.
Regardless of whether it is true or not, she will try her best to survive. Only by surviving will there be other possibilities. What Xiaohui said to her did give her some hope.
As they were talking, the two sisters returned to the yard.
"Qianqian Xiaohui are back? Come quickly, the sweet and sour pork is ready for you."
Xu Qiuqian responded and walked inside.
Xiaohui looked at Xu Qiuqian's back, a trace of guilt flashing across her eyes.
Sorry sis.
She did take out all her savings and did ask Grandma Liao. Grandma Liao did tell her all these things, but she concealed one thing.
Grandma Liao said that her daughter told her all this in her dreams.
So she actually didn't believe what Grandma Liao said, even though what Grandma Liao said made sense. She had concealed this fact just now because she wanted to give her elder sister some hope, hoping that her elder sister could be happy in these last few days.
She just hoped that her sister would not die in pain and hopelessness.
Xiaohui wiped her tears and caught up with Xu Qiuqian's back.
Three days passed in a flash.
During these three days, people in the village sent some things, including food, drinks, daily necessities and clothes.
On the day she was sent to the mountain, Xu Qiuqian put on the new clothes given to her by the villagers.
At the foot of the mountain, the villagers surrounded her, acting as both a protection and an invisible fence, leaving her no chance to escape. They all looked at her with red eyes, speaking in private, and each of them looked reluctant to leave.
Outside a small house not far away stood this hunched old woman.
The old woman looked at these people coldly without saying a word. Her gaze fell on Xu Qiuqian's face again, and she felt that Xu Qiuqian was too calm, not even a trace of fear.
All the girls who were sent to the mountain in the past cried bitterly and begged bitterly.
But she was so calm, as if she was not the one going to be sacrificed.
She remembered the dream her daughter had given her.
If it's this person, maybe it's really possible...
On the other side, Xu Qiuqian finally listened to those people's reluctance to leave and turned to walk up the mountain.
Usually someone would go with her.
Without waiting for the person to follow, Xiao Hui said, "I'll go with my sister."
She turned and looked at the other villagers.
"Please, let me see my sister off for the last time."
Everyone sighed when they heard this.
"Forget it. Since Hui wants to see her sister off for the last time, let her go."
"But what if..."
"Nothing will happen." The village chief waved at Xiaohui, who quickly thanked him and caught up with Xu Qiuqian.
The villagers behind were still worried: "What if Hui helps her escape?"
The village chief shook his head.
"No, it's their turn this year. If Hui helps Qian escape, she will be the one to be sacrificed, so she definitely won't do that."
In the past, family members were not allowed to send children off because they were afraid that they would help them escape.
But now, if Xu Qiuqian escapes, Xiaohui will have to take his place. No one wants to die, so there is no need to worry at all.
Everyone thought it made sense, shook their heads and sighed, and went back, their worries gradually settled down.
I can live a peaceful life for the next ten years.
Xiaohui caught up with Xu Qiuqian.
"Sister, I'll take you there."
When Xu Qiuqian heard her sister's voice, she slowed down her pace a little.
Just now, when she heard Xiaohui say that she wanted to see her off for the last time, she deliberately slowed down.
After walking a few steps, Xiaohui caught up.
"Sister..."
Xiaohui took Xu Qiuqian's arm, leaned on her shoulder, and walked with her.
She looked extremely reluctant and attached.
Since she was a child, she knew that her elder sister would be sent to be sacrificed to the fairy beast, so her parents never invested too much affection in her sister. But she was not like that. When her parents went out to work or went up the mountain, it was her elder sister who took care of her.
So to her, her elder sister is not only a sister but also a mother.
If there is anyone here who really can't bear to part with Xu Qiuqian, it's probably only Xiaohui.
Xu Qiuqian lowered her eyes to look at Xiaohui who was leaning on her, then reached out and touched her head.
She didn't say anything and didn't give any instructions, but Xiaohui felt a lump in her throat and couldn't help but burst into tears.
Xiaohui reached out to wipe away her tears, then suddenly stopped with a determined expression.
"Sister, run away."
