Chapter 425 Dispersed
"Mom and Dad, I dreamed about my sister last night."
Xiaohui was very happy.
She said excitedly: "Sister told me that she was living well in the mountains. The fairy beasts didn't eat her and even picked fruits for her. I asked her to come back, but she said she had things to do and would come back after she finished them. Dad and Mom, Sister is really not dead!"
"Alright! Are you as crazy as that Liao Po?"
The man put the chopsticks on the table with a gloomy sound, which scared Xiaohui so much that her face turned pale.
"Let's eat. Xiaohui misses Qianqian too much." The woman laughed and then winked at Xiaohui. The man picked up his chopsticks and started eating again. Xiaohui didn't say anything else and finished her meal quietly.
She thought of her sister whom she dreamed of last night and what Grandma Liao said.
It's true.
She finally understood why Grandma Liao was so sure that it was her daughter who sent her a dream, and that it was all true.
Because the dream was too real.
It was as if she had been through it too.
She even saw the appearance of the fairy beast. It was so ugly and scary. If it were her, she would definitely not be as calm as her sister. She would definitely faint out of fright, let alone enter the fairy beast's cave. She would rather freeze to death than enter.
My elder sister is worthy of being my elder sister. She is not afraid of such a terrifying fairy beast! Thinking of this, Xiaohui became happy again.
Sister said she would come back after finishing her work, and asked her to wait for her at home, so she would wait for Sister to come back, obediently, and wait...
The other side.
Xu Qiuqian felt more dizzy and his forehead was getting hotter.
When she entered the cave at night, she even accidentally stepped on the fairy beast, but she was no longer afraid of the fairy beast at that time, and even smiled at the fairy beast that was looking at her.
For some reason, the fairy beast kept staring at her.
Xu Qiuqian fell into a deep sleep.
She dreamed again, but this time she didn't dream of Xiaohui.
She dreamed of a young girl, a girl named Azhen. Azhen was the daughter of Grandma Liao, and the mother and daughter depended on each other for survival.
That year, it was Ah Zhen's turn to offer sacrifice.
But Mrs. Liao only had one daughter, Ah Zhen, so naturally she refused.
She wanted to send Ah Zhen away quietly, but Ah Zhen was caught when she escaped to the market. The villagers even blamed Ah Zhen and Liao Po, asking them if they wanted to kill everyone in the village.
Finally, Ah Zhen was sent to the top of the mountain.
In order for his mother to survive, Ah Zhen had to make a sacrifice.
She climbed up and saw the fairy beast halfway. She was frightened by its appearance and lost her balance. She rolled all the way down, hit her head on a rock and fainted.
When she woke up again, she was in the cave.
She walked out of the cave, and there were many fruits outside the cave. Then she saw the fairy beast looking up at the sky not far away.
Ah Zhen went from being afraid at first to becoming more and more familiar with the fairy beast. She would have dreams every day, and every day, she would understand more about the fairy beast.
For example, the fairy beast and its master are the fairies, and the place where the master lives is called Xiandu.
The fairy beast was left here because it was seriously injured and its master had to go far away. The master promised that he would come back to find it and bring it back to Xiandu after the task was completed.
But for three thousand years, the fairy beast had been waiting here, its wounds had healed but it still hadn’t seen its master.
He could feel that his master was still alive, but he never came.
It had no choice but to wait, and use its magical powers to go to various places to try to find its owner, but its magical powers were limited, and it couldn't find it after searching for a long time.
After it signed a contract with its master, it heard its master say that his residence was in Xiandu.
I also heard from the master that the position of the immortals in the air is uncertain, and they might float in front of it at any time.
So the fairy beast waited for its master and the fairy capital at the same time, day after day, waiting and looking forward.
"So you don't know what Xiandu looks like?"
The fairy beast whirred twice.
Then I don’t know.
This was what Xu Qiuqian discussed with the fairy beast after she had that dream. Now the fairy beast can also have simple communication with her.
And she also knew why there was the concept of sacrifice in Xujia Village.
Thousands of years ago, a man from Xujia Village accidentally walked to the top of a mountain with his fifteen-year-old daughter. They saw a fairy beast and were so scared that they peed their pants and left their daughter behind. When they returned, he was afraid of being talked about, so he lied and said he had encountered a fairy beast. The fairy beast needed the pure souls of girls under the age of sixteen.
As long as they have the pure soul of the girl, the fairy beast will ensure that they will have a greater harvest than usual in the next ten years.
What a coincidence.
After the man said those words, the people who went up the mountain did get more than before.
The ignorant villagers naturally believed it.
So it was passed down from generation to generation, and no one had any doubts anymore. As for the girls who went up the mountain, they would have been scared to death or frozen to death when they saw the fairy beasts. The fairy beasts didn't like to see corpses all over the ground, so they piled the dead girls together.
Besides Ah Zhen, there is also Xu Qiuqian.
However, Ah Zhen did not live long. He died after only one month.
Although the fairy beast was kind to Ah Zhen, it did not allow Ah Zhen to go down the mountain because it was too lonely on the mountain. With its huge body, it could only stay here and did not dare to go anywhere else. Therefore, the presence of these girls could relieve its loneliness.
Although these girls died almost within a day or two.
Therefore, the appearance of Ah Zhen seemed particularly precious to it, but it did not expect that Ah Zhen would also die.
Xu Qiuqian sighed.
Very normal.
Ah Zhen is a mortal after all. She faces the appearance of the fairy beast every day, eats only fruits every day, and the cave is not too warm. In addition, the fairy beast does not allow her to go back. Isn't it true that she can't hold on for long? Huh? Xu Qiuqian frowned.
Why did she think that Ah Zhen was just a mortal after all?
It's as if she's not, but she is obviously...
As Xu Qiuqian thought about it, she felt her head become even heavier, as if it was filled with paste.
Then she fainted.
Hazily, she saw the fairy beast anxiously nudging her with its horns, but her head was really dizzy.
After being in a coma for a few days, she was poked awake again in a daze.
She opened her tired, heavy eyelids.
I could only vaguely see that there seemed to be a city in the air. The walls surrounding the city were emitting golden light, and various mythical beasts were carved on the walls in a lifelike manner. The sound of the bell seemed to come from the horizon and echo in my ears.
Xu Qiuqian saw the fairy beast so happy and excited that it kept stomping its feet, and the ground made a thudding sound.
She raised her hand slowly.
"You haven't told me where your master went."
A hazy voice sounded: "Jedi Island."
Jedi Island…
A ray of light flashed through Xu Qiuqian's mind, and he suddenly opened his eyes wide.
She remembered it! She remembered everything!
The next moment, everything around him disappeared like the tide, and Xu Qiuqian stood in front of the Spirit Tree, gasping for breath.
