"Mom and Dad, I dreamed of my sister last night."
Xiaohui was very happy.
She said excitedly: "My sister told me that she lived a good life in the mountains. The fairy beasts didn't eat it, and she even picked fruits for her. I asked her to come back, and she said she still had some unfinished business, and she would finish it after she finished it." Come back, parents, sister is really not dead!"
"Okay! Are you as crazy as that old lady Liao?"
The man put the chopsticks on the table with a "pop" sound, his voice was gloomy, and Xiao Hui turned pale in fright.
"Let's eat, Xiaohui misses Qianqian too much." The woman said haha, and then winked at Xiaohui. The man picked up the chopsticks to eat again. Xiaohui didn't say anything else and finished the meal quietly.
She thought of the sister she dreamed about last night and what Granny Liao said.
it is true.
She finally understood why Po Liao was so sure that it was her daughter who was entrusting her with dreams, and they were all true.
Because that dream was too real.
It was like she had experienced it too.
I even saw the appearance of the fairy beast. It was so ugly and terrifying. If it were her, she would definitely not be as calm as my sister. She would have fainted from fright. Let alone entering the cave of the fairy beast, she would rather freeze to death than Will enter.
As expected of a sister, she is not afraid of such a terrifying fairy beast!
Thinking of this, Xiaohui became happy again.
Sister A said that she would come back after finishing the work. Sister A asked her to wait for her at home, so she will wait for Sister A to come back, obediently, and keep waiting...
the other side.
Xu Qiuqian felt that her head was getting dizzy and her 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 looked at her.
The fairy beast kept staring at her for some reason.
Xu Qiuqian fell into a drowsy sleep.
She dreamed again, but this time she didn't dream about Xiaohui.
She dreamed of a girl, a girl named Ah Zhen, who was the daughter of Po Liao. Mother and daughter depended on each other.
That year, it was Ah Zhen's turn to sacrifice.
But Po Liao only has one daughter, Ah Zhen, so she naturally refuses.
She wanted to send Ah Zhen away quietly, but Ah Zhen escaped to the market and was caught. The villagers even blamed Ah Zhen and Liao Po, asking them if they wanted the whole village to die.
Finally, Ah Zhen was sent to the top of the mountain.
In order for his mother to survive, Ah Zhen had to sacrifice.
She climbed up and saw the fairy beast on the way. She was startled by the appearance of the fairy beast. She lost her footing and rolled all the way down. She hit her head on a stone and fainted.
When she woke up again, she was in the cave.
She walked out of the cave. There were many fruits outside the cave, and then she saw the fairy beast looking into the sky not far away.
From the initial fear, Ah Zhen became more and more familiar with the fairy beasts. She would also dream every day, and every day, she would understand more about the fairy beasts.
For example, immortal beasts and their owners are immortals, and the place where the owner lives is called the Immortal City.
The fairy beast was seriously injured at that time, and the place where the master wanted to go was far away, so it was placed here by the master. The master promised to come back to find it and take it back to the fairy capital as soon as the matter was completed.
But for three thousand years, the fairy beast has been waiting here for three thousand years. His injuries have healed but he still hasn't seen his master.
He could feel that his master was still alive, but he never found him.
It had no choice but to wait and use its magical powers to go to various places, trying to find its owner, but its magical powers were limited and it couldn't find it after a long search.
After it made a contract with its owner before, it heard from the owner that the owner's residence was in Xiandu.
I also heard from the owner that the Immortal Capital's position in the sky is uncertain, and it might float in front of it at any time.
So the fairy beast is like this, waiting for its master and waiting for the fairy capital, day after day, waiting and watching.
"So you don't know what Xiandu is like?"
The fairy beast roared twice.
That means I don’t know.
This was what Xu Qiuqian had discussed with the fairy beast after having that dream, and now the fairy beast could also have simple communication with her.
And she also knew why people in Xujiacun had the term "sacrifice".
Thousands of years ago, a man in Xujiacun accidentally walked up to the top of a mountain with his fifteen-year-old daughter. When he saw a fairy beast, he was so frightened that he pissed himself off. He left his daughter behind. When he returned, he was afraid of being accused, so he lied and claimed that he had encountered a fairy beast. The fairy beast needs the pure soul of a girl under the age of sixteen.
As long as they have the pure soul of the girl, the fairy beast will ensure that their harvest in the mountains in ten years is greater than usual.
What a coincidence.
After the man said those words, the people who went up the mountain did get more things than before.
The ignorant villagers naturally believed it.
So this was passed down from generation to generation, and no one had any doubts. As for the girls who went up the mountain, they had long been frightened to death or frozen to death when they saw the fairy beasts. The fairy beasts did not like to see corpses all over the ground. Then he piled the dead girls together.
Apart from Ah Zhen, there is also Xu Qiuqian.
However, Ah Zhen did not live long. He died in just 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 such a huge body, it could only stay here and did not dare to go anywhere else. Therefore, these girls For it, existence can relieve loneliness.
Although almost all of these girls died within a day or two.
Therefore, the appearance of Ah Zhen is particularly precious to it, but I didn't 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. She only eats fruit every day. The cave is not too warm. In addition, the fairy beast does not allow her to go back. Wouldn't she be able to hold on for long?
Huh?
Xu Qiuqian frowned.
Why does she think Ah Zhen is a mortal after all?
It's like she's not the same as this, but she clearly is...
As Xu Qiuqian thought about it, her head felt even heavier, as if it was stuffed with a ball of paste.
After that, she fainted.
Drowsily, she saw the fairy beast nudging her anxiously with the horns on its head, but her head was really dizzy.
After being in a daze for a few days, she was jolted awake again.
She opened her tired and heavy eyelids.
I could only faintly see that there seemed to be a real city in mid-air. The walls surrounding the city were glowing with golden light, and various lifelike mythical beasts were carved on the walls. The sound of bells seemed to be coming from the horizon and echoing in my ears.
Xu Qiuqian stomped her feet happily and excitedly when she saw the fairy beast, and the ground made a thumping sound.
She slowly raised her hand.
"You haven't told me where your master has gone."
A hazy voice sounded: "Jedi Island."
Jedi Island…
A ray of light flashed across her mind, and Xu Qiuqian's eyes suddenly opened wide.
She remembered!
Everything comes to mind!
The next moment, everything around him dispersed like a tide, and Xu Qiuqian stood in front of the living tree, breathing heavily.
