Chapter 421 Sacrificing the Immortal Beast

Xu Qiuqian took a closer look and saw that the eyelash-like things were still trembling.

What on earth is this?

Just as I was thinking about it, I saw a crack appearing under the 'eyelashes', and the crack was slowly getting bigger.

Xu Qiuqian retracted her hand and subconsciously took a step back.

Immediately afterwards, a huge eye that filled the trunk of the tree suddenly opened and stared at Xu Qiuqian. The huge eyes startled her to the core.

After that, my eyes blinked.

Xu Qiuqian also blinked, and the scene in front of her suddenly changed.

A whimpering sound came from my ears.

After a moment, a man’s impatient voice came from next to him: “Cry, cry, cry, you’ll cry in one day! Shut up!”

The man’s voice fell and he cried. It became a little quieter, but it still didn't stop. The man stood up and left irritably.

As soon as he left, Xu Qiuqian, who was stunned, was hugged.

"Qianqian, my Qianqian, mother, I'm so sorry for you..."

Xu Qiuqian remembered.

She is a villager in Xujia Village. Xujia Village relies on the Beast God Mountain to live a pretty good life. However, there are fairy beasts in the Beast God Mountain. If Xujia Village wants to enter the mountain, they have to go there every ten Every year, the pure soul of a girl under the age of sixteen must be given to the fairy beast.

Otherwise they would not be able to enter the Beast Mountain.

This decade, it happened to be Xu Qiuqian’s turn. She had just turned fifteen and her sister was only nine, so it was her turn to sacrifice.

In three days, she will be sent to the mountains.

She stared blankly ahead, her eyes distracted, and she didn’t know what she was thinking.

The sound of a woman crying could be heard in her ears, but she felt it was noisy.

"Stop crying." She said aloud.

The woman didn’t listen and kept sobbing.

Xu Qiuqian’s voice couldn’t help but raise a little higher: “Stop crying!”

The woman seemed to be frightened and really stopped crying.

"Qianqian, what's wrong with you?"

"Nothing, mother, please go out first, I want to take a rest."

Seeing Xu Qiuqian's appearance, the woman couldn't help but want to cry again, but she still held it back and left the room and closed the door behind her.

As soon as the person left, Xu Qiuqian lay down on the bed.

She recalled what had happened in the past fifteen years.

She is no different from the girls in the village. She has been helping the family as long as she can remember. The life in her memory is gloomy, because she has known since she was a child that once she is almost sixteen years old, , it is very likely to be given to the fairy beast.

But she couldn't resist.

Because this has been stipulated long ago.

It seemed that she knew that she was going to be given to a fairy beast, and her family treated her quite well. They even sometimes let her sister do her work, but her sister took the initiative without her parents telling her. to help her work.

But she never had a happy day.

In three days she will be sent up the mountain, and her soul will belong to the fairy beast.

She was not panicked or afraid.

Because she has accepted this matter almost since she was a child, and even more because she cannot escape from this village.

There was a sound outside the hospital, as if someone was coming to comfort her mother.

Xu Qiuqian’s ears have been good since she was a child, so she can hear what the two are talking about if she concentrates a little.

"Well, there is nothing we can do about it. If we don't send Qian Qian there, the fairy beast will not allow us to go up the mountain."

Their Xujia Village is relying on If people who live in the mountains are not allowed to go up the mountain, won’t they starve to death?

"I know, but why is it Qianqian? Qianqian is only fifteen..."

"Auntie, please relax, Qianqian will still have Xiaoqian without you. Hui, Xiaohui is only nine years old. Xiaohui is smart, capable and beautiful. After sixteen years, there will definitely be many people coming to propose marriage."

After several attempts to persuade, Xu Qiuqian's mother was finally persuaded. alright.

"You are right. Without Qianqian, I still have Xiaohui. As for Qianqian, just pretend that I never gave birth to her..."

Before he finished speaking. , just hearing a "squeak", Xu Qiuqian's door opened.

When the two of them saw Xu Qiuqian, awkward expressions suddenly appeared on their faces.

"Ahem, auntie, I still have something to do, so I'll leave first."

After that, the woman turned and left.

The woman's eyes were red and she explained: "Qianqian, don't get me wrong, I didn't mean that."

"I know."

Xu Qiuqian’s expression was dull: “I want to go out for a walk.”

Upon hearing this, the woman quickly said: “Okay, go ahead, mother will make you your favorite pot dumplings. Meat, you will remember it laterI have to come back to eat. ”

It’s just that she’s afraid that she won’t be able to think about running away.

Xu Qiuqian lowered her eyes and hummed.

She walked out of the yard.

Xujiacun was just as she remembered, it was dark and colorless.

Xu Qiuqian walked and walked for an unknown amount of time. A road up the mountain appeared in front of her. She looked up. Look, she was stunned because she had reached the foot of the mountain without knowing it.

She looked towards the top of the mountain, which was so high that she could not see her head.

I heard that the fairy beast lives on the top of the mountain and absorbs the essence of the sun and the moon on the top of the mountain every day.

Xu Qiuqian doesn’t understand.

Absorbing the essence of the sun and the moon is Can she attain enlightenment and become an immortal?

She will also be sent to the top of the mountain in three days.

At that time, will she also be able to see the scenery on the top of the mountain and absorb the sun? The essence of the moon?

If she absorbs the essence of the sun and the moon, can she also become an immortal?

She has always had a secret in her heart that she has not mentioned to anyone. , she only revealed something to her younger sister, that is, she wanted to become an immortal.

She wanted to become an immortal, and then go see the world outside the mountain village. She didn’t want to be trapped in a corner, getting married and having children step by step, or It was a sacrifice to the fairy beast, but all this was her wishful thinking.

I heard that spiritual roots are needed to cultivate immortality, but she has no spiritual roots, she is just a mortal.

> "Sister! ”

Xiao Hui’s voice came from behind.

Xu Qiuqian withdrew her gaze and turned around to see Xiao Hui running over panting.

　"Sister, why did you come here? I've been looking for you for a long time. "Xiao Hui glanced up with an angry expression, "Sister, let's go and stay away from this mountain. ”

As long as she thought that the mountain would take away sister in three days, she didn’t want to see it.

The two sisters had a good relationship, so Xu Qiuqian did not refuse and was Xiaohui took her away.

On the way, Xiaohui whispered: "Sister, I asked Po Liao at the foot of the mountain about something. ”

Mrs. Liao used to be a midwife and knew some medical skills to treat diseases and save people. But after her daughter was sent to the mountain, she moved to the foot of the mountain and would run to the top of the mountain every once in a while.

Of course, she couldn’t go to the top of the mountain. She could only go to the place closest to the top of the mountain and stay there all day.

Later one time, Po Liao said that she saw the fairy beast It looks so scary and terrifying that no one believes it.After that, Po Liao became a little crazy. Not only did she say that she saw the fairy beast, she also saw the owner of the fairy beast.

But everyone thought that Granny Liao was crazy.

Xu Qiuqian couldn't help but frown when she heard this: "Isn't Granny Liao crazy?"

"I don't think she is crazy. If she is crazy, why can she still do it every other time? Have you not forgotten to climb to the top of the mountain for a while? Oh, let’s not talk about this anymore. I have something very important to tell you, sister.”

　“What is it?”

　“Sister, don’t you want to become an immortal?”
