Xu Qiuqian paused.
She turned to look at Xiaohui.
"Do you know what the consequences will be if I run away?"
Xiaohui nodded: "I know, in the worst case, I will 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 impulsive, and was ready to replace Xu Qiuqian.
"Sister, don't worry. Today is the time when the market is open. I have already discussed it with Brother Huzi from the neighboring village. He will wait for you at the three-way intersection today and he will take you to the market by then. , as long as you go to the market, you can escape."
Xu Qiuqian was stunned.
She didn't expect Xiaohui to reach this point.
Looking at the younger sister in front of her, with a childish appearance, Xu Qiuqian's mouth curled up slightly, revealing a faint smile.
Then he reached out his hand and stroked Xiaohui's head again.
"Thank you Xiaohui, but I won't go and I won't run away."
"Why? Does sister really want to sacrifice to the fairy beast?" Xiaohui was anxious.
Xu Qiuqian shook his head.
"When I leave, you are the one to be sacrificed, but you are my sister. I have been taking care of you since you were so young. I have watched you grow up. How could I just run away and let you bear all this?"
And you can't escape just by going to the market.
She had asked about it before.
In the past, there were people who escaped to the market but were still caught.
"And didn't you say that Liao Po said that immortals are going to appear? Maybe I can really survive and enter the immortal capital?"
"I lied to you! Those were all what Po Liao dreamed about! They are all fake!" Xiaohui explained hurriedly.
But Xu Qiuqian has made up her mind.
"I believe that's true."
The so-called Immortal of the Immortal City felt inexplicably familiar to her for some reason, so she decided to find out.
Xiaohui was really anxious.
Anxious and regretful.
If I had known that Sister A would believe this, she shouldn't have said those words three days ago.
Now that's good, how can she persuade Sister A?
However, until Xu Qiuqian walked firmly to the top of the mountain, Xiaohui used countless excuses and begged her countless times, but nothing made her change her mind.
Xu Qiuqian stopped outside the strips of red cloth surrounding the top of the mountain.
There are bells hanging on the red cloth, which will ring when someone enters. There is a thick fog above, making it impossible to detect the scene inside with the naked eye. Once inside, it is difficult to get out.
In the past, the families of the sacrificed girls had gone in, but in the end, without exception, they never came out.
Xu Qiuqian stopped and looked at Xiaohui.
"Let's go back."
"Sister, why?" Xiaohui's eyes turned red, "Those are all fake. There are no immortals and no immortal capital. You can't become an immortal, so why do you still want to go?"
Xu Qiu smiled lightly and did not explain.
She couldn't explain it either.
Could it be that she wanted to say that she thought she had heard of this immortal before, and wanted to find out because of this?
"Let's go."
After saying that, she turned around and bent over and walked in.
The red cloth began to tremble, and the bells on the red cloth made a sound, which caused all the bells on the red cloth to ring. The sound kept ringing, and followed the wind to the foot of the mountain and to the village.
Hearing the sound of the bell, everyone couldn't help but shudder. There was a flash of fear in their eyes, but they were relieved in their hearts.
The ringing of the bell indicates that the person offering the sacrifice has entered.
They were finally safe.
After Xu Qiuqian entered, he 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, almost to the point where I couldn't see the scene ten steps away. Fortunately, it was not night at this time. Although the fog was heavy, I could still see some.
She walked towards the top of the mountain.
At this time, a beastly roar suddenly came from the distance, and she paused.
The roar of this beast should be the voice of a fairy beast, right?
Thinking about it, she continued moving forward.
After walking for an unknown amount of time, the fog in front of her eyes became lighter and lighter until it completely disappeared. Xu Qiuqian continued walking towards the top of the mountain.
He raised his head and glanced at the top of the mountain, which was just around the corner.
Although she felt very close, she felt like she had been gone for a long, long time.
The surrounding scenery is no different from other scenery on the mountain. To be honest, there are no other wild beasts, not even smaller animals.
Oh, and there are skeletons and torn clothes on the roadside.
If anyone else had seen this, they would have been frightened and fainted.
But Xu Qiuqian didn't feel anything and kept walking forward.
After walking about a few hundred steps, Xu Qiuqian felt that the entire mountain seemed to be shaking.
Just hearing a dull sound, a huge thing appeared in front of him. Its burning hot air sprayed out from 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 looked like an ant in front of it. However, the beast was staring at her, so she lowered her head, and she was able to see the appearance of this so-called fairy beast.
The fairy beast is grey-brown, with a huge head. There is a black horn on the head and one eye. This eye is somewhat similar to a human eye. It has eyelashes and pupils, but there are too many black parts in the pupils, making the whole animal The eyes look weird.
These eyes...why do she feel familiar?
The fairy beast has four legs, and its hind legs are thicker than its front legs, because its body is entirely supported by its two hind legs.
Xu Qiuqian's expression was calm at first, but her eyes suddenly widened. She saw a drop of saliva coming 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 nothing like taking a bath. the difference.
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 stink to death!
The next moment, she saw the beast sucking back the saliva. Xu Qiuqian breathed a sigh of relief and wiped the cold sweat from her forehead.
Fortunately, okay, I won't be stink to death from saliva.
As soon as she felt relieved, she noticed the approach of the fairy beast, and her whole body was directly bitten by one arm by the fairy beast, 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 is very big, so naturally it only takes a few steps to get to the top of the mountain.
When Xu Qiuqian was still wondering why the fairy beast didn't eat her, she was thrown away by the fairy beast again.
Dust flew up and she heard a crackling sound.
Looking down, she was sitting on a pile of bones.
So not only were the souls of these girls sucked, but their bodies were also eaten?
And she probably has to go through it again.
Just when she was thinking about how to escape this disaster, she saw the fairy beast turned around, took a few steps forward, and looked up into the air.
Xu Qiuqian followed her gaze and was stunned.
The scene in front of me is too beautiful.
Because the mountain was very high, when she looked outside, she couldn't see the scenery below the mountain. She only saw clusters of clouds and mist, blocking her sight. She felt like she was in the sky.
She suddenly remembered what Xiaohui said about the Immortal City.
