Chapter 423 Familiar Eyes
Xu Qiuqian paused.
She turned and looked at Xiaohui.
"Do you know what the consequences will be if I run away?"
Xiao Hui nodded: "I know, at worst I can go to the top of the mountain for you, sister!"
Her expression was extremely serious, and it could be seen that she was not joking at all, was not acting on impulse, and was prepared to replace Xu Qiuqian.
"Don't worry, sister. Today is the market day. I have already discussed with Brother Huzi from the neighboring village. He will wait for you at the fork in the road today. He will take you to the market. As long as you go to the market, you can escape."
Xu Qiuqian was stunned.
She didn't expect Xiaohui to have gone to this extent.
Looking at her younger sister who was a head younger than her and had a young appearance, Xu Qiuqian curled the corners of her mouth slightly, revealing a faint smile.
Then he reached out and stroked Xiaohui's head again.
"Thank you, Xiaohui, but I won't go, and I won't run away."
"Why? Does my sister really want to sacrifice herself to the fairy beast?" Xiaohui was anxious.
Xu Qiuqian shook her head.
"If I leave, you will be the one to be sacrificed, but you are my sister. I have been taking care of you since you were so young and watching you grow up. How can I just run away and let you bear all this?"
And you can't just go to the market and escape.
She had asked about it before.
In the past, some people escaped to the market but were still caught.
"And didn't you say that Grandma Liao said that the immortals were about to appear? Maybe I can really survive and enter the immortal capital?"
"I lied to you! Those were all dreams that Grandma Liao had! They were all fake!" Xiaohui explained hurriedly.
But Xu Qiuqian had made up her mind.
"I believe that to be true."
For some reason, she felt that the so-called Xiandu Immortal was inexplicably familiar, so she decided to find out more.
Xiaohui was really anxious.
Anxious and regretful.
If she had known that her sister would believe this, she should not have said those words three days ago.
Now, how should she persuade her elder sister?
However, until Xu Qiuqian walked to the top of the mountain with firm steps, Xiaohui changed her excuses countless times and begged her countless times, but she still couldn't change her mind.
Xu Qiuqian stopped outside the red cloth surrounding the top of the mountain.
There is a bell hanging on the red cloth, and a sound will ring when someone goes in. Above it is thick fog, and the naked eye cannot detect the scene inside. Once you enter, it is difficult to get out.
In the past, family members of sacrificed girls had gone in, but without exception, they never came out.
Xu Qiuqian stopped and looked at Xiaohui.
"Go back."
"Sister, why?" Xiao Hui's eyes were red. "Those are all fake. There are no immortals and no immortal city. You can't become an immortal, so why do you want to go there?"
Xu Qiu smiled and didn't explain.
She couldn't explain it either.
Could it be that she wanted to say that she felt she had heard of this immortal somewhere before and wanted to find out what it was because of this?
"Let's go."
After saying that, she turned around, bent down and walked in.
The red cloth began to tremble, and the bells on the red cloth made sounds, causing all the bells on the red cloth to ring. The sound kept ringing, and was carried by the wind to the foot of the mountain and into the village.
Hearing the sound of the bell, everyone couldn't help but shudder. A hint of fear flashed across their eyes, but they felt relieved in their hearts.
The ringing of the bell means that the person offering the sacrifice has entered.
They were finally safe.
After entering, Xu Qiuqian no longer paid attention to Xiaohui outside the red cloth strip, and walked straight into the fog.
The fog in front of me was very thick, to the point where I could hardly see what was ten steps away. Fortunately, it was not night, so although the fog was thick, I could still see something.
She walked towards the top of the mountain.
At this moment, a roar of an animal suddenly came from the distance, and she paused.
The roar of this beast should be the voice of the fairy beast, right?
Thinking about this, she continued to move forward.
After walking for an unknown amount of time, the fog in front of him became thinner and thinner until it disappeared completely. Xu Qiuqian continued to walk towards the top of the mountain.
I looked up at the top of the mountain which was just around the corner.
Although it felt very close, she felt like she had been walking for a very long time.
The surrounding scenery is no different from other scenery on the mountain. If I have to say something, it is that there are no other wild animals, not even small animals.
Oh, and there are also bones and torn clothes on the roadside.
If someone else saw this, they would have probably fainted from fright.
But Xu Qiuqian didn't feel anything and continued walking forward.
After walking about a few hundred steps, Xu Qiuqian felt that the whole mountain seemed to be shaking.
There was a dull "bang" sound, and a huge creature appeared in front of him. Hot air was sprayed out of its nose, almost blowing away Xu Qiuqian's thin body.
Xu Qiuqian looked up.
The beast in front of her was very large, and Xu Qiuqian was like an ant in front of it. However, the beast was staring at her, so it lowered its head, and she was able to see the appearance of this so-called fairy beast.
The fairy beast is gray-brown, with a huge head, a black horn and an eye that is somewhat similar to human eyes, with eyelashes and pupils, but the black part of the pupil is too much, making the whole eye look weird.
This eye... why did she feel familiar? The fairy beast had four legs, and its hind legs were thicker than its front legs, because it was completely supported by its two hind legs.
Xu Qiuqian's expression was originally calm, but suddenly her eyes widened. She saw a drop of saliva flowing out of the beast's mouth. It was a drop of saliva that was too big for her. If she was hit by this drop of saliva, it would probably be no different from taking a bath.
But this is not clean water.
This is saliva mixed with a fishy smell.
If she gets hit, she won't die, but she will definitely be stank to death!
The next moment, the beast sucked back its saliva. Xu Qiuqian then breathed a sigh of relief and wiped the cold sweat from his forehead.
Fortunately, I won’t be killed by the stink of saliva.
Just as she was relieved, she noticed the approach of the fairy beast. The fairy beast bit her arm and she flew into the air.
Xu Qiuqian let out a cry of pain.
After that, she was bitten by the fairy beast and ran to the top of the mountain.
The fairy beast was very big, so it only took a few steps to reach the top of the mountain.
When Xu Qiuqian was still wondering why the fairy beast didn't eat her, she was thrown down by the fairy beast again.
Dust flew up and she heard crackling sounds.
Looking down, she saw that she was sitting on a pile of bones.
So not only were the souls of these girls sucked away, but their bodies were eaten as well? And she would probably have to go through the same thing again.
Just as she was thinking about how to avoid this disaster, she saw the fairy beast turn its head, walk forward a few steps, and look up at the sky.
Xu Qiuqian followed the line of sight and was stunned.
The scene before my eyes was too beautiful.
Because the mountain was very high, when she looked outside, she couldn't see the scenery below the mountain. She could only see clouds and mist that blocked her vision. She felt like she was in the sky.
She suddenly remembered what Xiaohui said about the immortal city.
