Xu Qiuqian paused.
Then Xiao Hui said again: "Popo Liao said that the fairy beast has an owner, and the master of the fairy beast is the 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 become an immortal."
"No! It's because the fairy beast is waiting for its master to take it back. Its master went to some island and never came back. But the fairy beast needs to absorb the fairy energy, otherwise it will turn into an ordinary beast, but we don't have fairy here. Qi, so it can only be maintained by girls under the age of sixteen."
"Is this what Mrs. Liao told you?"
Xiaohui nodded: "Sister, don't believe it. I'm telling you, I've seen it before. That fairy beast is really ugly, so I believe what Granny Liao said."
Xu Qiuqian thought for a moment.
"But what does this have to do with my cultivation of immortality?"
"Popo Liao said that although the immortal beast has not yet waited for its master, it has to wait until the immortal capital. I heard that the immortal capital is full of immortals. If I go to the immortal capital and worship the immortal as my teacher, I will definitely be able to cultivate immortality!"
"Xiandu?"
Xiaohui nodded: "That's where the immortal lives."
"I know this is where immortals live." After all, I knew it as soon as I heard it. "But, what does it mean to wait until the immortal capital is reached?"
"I don't know either. Po Liao said that the capital of immortality is in the sky and its location is uncertain."
Hearing this, Xu Qiuqian looked at the sky blankly.
The Immortal Capital is in the sky and its location is uncertain. After so many years, the Immortal Capital finally floated over, so the Immortal Beasts can also go home.
She didn't know why, but she always felt that these immortals were a bit inexplicably familiar.
It seemed she had heard it.
But how?
It was obviously the first time she heard it.
She didn't know how long she had been watching before she came to her senses again: "How did Granny Liao know?"
Did you hear what the fairy beast said?
impossible.
Except for the girls who were sent to sacrifice, no one could see the fairy beast, and those girls who were sent to be sacrificed would also have their pure souls taken away by the fairy beast, so naturally they could not tell others.
Xiaohui's eyes flashed: "I don't know about this. Anyway, what Granny Liao said, I gave all my savings to Granny Liao to ask for you. Granny Liao shouldn't lie to me.
Sister, after you get to the top of the mountain, you must not make the fairy beast angry, and serve it well. Maybe it won't eat you when it is happy, and will take you back to the fairy city with you, and you can practice. "
Xiaohui said, her eyes turned red and tears welled up in her eyes.
"Sister..." She reached out and hugged Xu Qiuqian's arm. Several times, the words "Sister, please run away" rolled on the tip of her tongue, but she still did not say it.
Where can I escape?
Xujiacun is too remote. The nearest market is hundreds of miles away, and the roads are not easy to navigate.
Xu Qiuqian didn't notice the twinkle in Xiaohui's eyes just now, and nodded seriously.
Regardless of whether it is true or not, she will try her best to live. Only by living can there be other possibilities. What Xiaohui told her did give her some hope.
While talking, the two sisters returned to the courtyard.
"Qianqian Xiaohui is back? Come on, the pot of pork is ready for you."
Xu Qiuqian responded and walked inside.
Xiaohui looked at Xu Qiuqian's back with a trace of guilt in her eyes.
I'm sorry, sister.
She did spend all her savings, and she did ask Granny Liao. These were indeed what Granny Liao told her, but she hid something.
Po Liao said that her daughter told her this in a dream.
So she actually didn't believe what Granny Liao said, even though Granny Liao said she had a nose and eyes, she had concealed this just now, just to give her sister some hope and hope that her 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 flew by.
In the past three days, people in the village have sent some things, including food, drink, and clothing.
On the day she was about to be sent to the mountain, Xu Qiuqian put on the new clothes given to her by the villagers.
At the foot of the mountain, people from the village surrounded her, both as protection and as an invisible fence, preventing her from having a chance to escape. They all looked at her with red eyes and said their own words, with expressions of reluctance.
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 eyes fell on Xu Qiuqian's face again, and she felt that Xu Qiuqian was too calm, without even a trace of fear.
In the past, none of the girls who were sent up the mountain wept bitterly and begged bitterly.
But she was as calm as if she was not the one going to sacrifice.
She remembered the dream her daughter had given her.
If it's this person, maybe it can really be done...
On the other side, Xu Qiuqian finally listened to the reluctance of those people and turned around and walked towards the mountain.
Usually someone will accompany her.
Without waiting for the arranged person to follow, Xiaohui said: "I will accompany my sister."
She turned to look at the other villagers.
"Please, let me see my sister off for the last time."
Everyone sighed after hearing this.
"Well, since Hui Yatou wants to send her sister on her last journey, let her go."
"But what if..."
"Nothing will happen." The village chief waved his hand towards Xiaohui, who quickly thanked her and caught up with Xu Qiuqian.
The villagers in the back were still worried: "What if Hui Yatou helps her escape?"
The village chief shook his head.
"No, it's their turn this year. If Hui Yatou helps Qian Yatou escape, she will be the one to sacrifice, so she will never do it."
In the past, I would not let my family send me away because I was afraid that my family would help me escape.
But now, if Xu Qiuqian escapes, Xiaohui will be the one to take over. No one wants to die, so there is no need to worry.
When everyone heard this, they made sense, shook their heads and went back with a sigh, and gradually let go of their worries.
In the next ten years, I can live a peaceful life.
Xiaohui catches up with Xu Qiuqian.
"Sister, I'll see you off."
When Xu Qiuqian heard her sister's voice, she slowed down a little.
Just now when she heard Xiaohui say that she was going to send her off for the last journey, she deliberately slowed down.
After taking a few steps, Xiaohui caught up with him.
"Sister..."
Xiaohui took Xu Qiuqian's arm, leaned on Xu Qiuqian's shoulder, and walked with her.
She looked extremely reluctant and attached.
Since she was a child, she knew that Sister A was going to be sacrificed to a fairy beast, so her parents never put too much emotion into Sister A, but she was not. When her parents went out to work or went up the mountain, it was Sister A Taking care of her.
So to her, Ajie is both a sister and a mother.
If there is anyone here who is really reluctant to let go of Xu Qiuqian, probably the only one left is Xiaohui.
Xu Qiuqian lowered her eyes and glanced at Xiaohui, who was leaning on her, and reached out to touch her head.
She didn't say anything or give any instructions, but it made Xiaohui's nose sore and she couldn't help but burst into tears.
Xiaohui reached out to wipe away her tears and suddenly stopped with a firm expression.
"Sister, please run away."
