Chapter 421 Sacrifice to the Immortal Beast
Xu Qiuqian took a closer look, and found that the eyelash-like thing was still trembling.

What the hell is this?
Just as I was thinking about it, I saw a slit appear under the 'eyelashes', and that slit was slowly getting bigger.

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

Immediately afterwards, a huge eye that filled the tree trunk suddenly opened to stare at Xu Qiuqian. The huge eyes gave her a solid start.

After that, the eyes blinked.

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

There was a whimpering cry.

After a while, another man's impatient voice came from the side: "Cry, cry, cry, cry in one day! Shut up for me!"

After the man's voice fell, the crying 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, I'm sorry, mother..."

Xu Qiuqian remembered.

She is a villager in this Xujia Village. Xujia Village relies on the Beast God Mountain to live, and its life is not bad, but there are fairy beasts in the Beast God Mountain. The pure soul of the young girl is given to the fairy beast.

Otherwise, they will not be able to enter the Beast God Mountain.

And this decade, it happened to be the turn of Xu Qiuqian's family. She had just turned 15 years old and her younger sister was only nine years old, so it was her turn to sacrifice.

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

She stared blankly ahead, her eyes were loose, and she didn't know what she was thinking.

A woman's whining sound came from her ear, but she felt it was noisy.

"Stop crying," she said.

The woman didn't listen, she was still sobbing and crying.

Xu Qiuqian couldn't help raising her voice: "Don't cry!"

The woman really stopped crying as if she was frightened.

"Qianqian, what's wrong with you?"

"It's nothing, mother, you go out first, I want to rest for a while."

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

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

She recalled what had happened over the past 15 years.

She is no different from those girls in the village. She has been helping the family for as long as she can remember, and her life in her memory is gloomy, because she knew from an early age that once she was about to turn 16, she was likely to be sent to the fairyland. beast.

But she couldn't resist.

Because this is already stipulated.

It seems that they know that she will be given to the fairy beast, and the family treats her fairly well, and sometimes even let her younger sister do her work, and the younger sister will take the initiative to help her with her work without the need for her parents to tell her.

But she never had a happy day.

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

She didn't panic, nor was she afraid.

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

There was a sound outside the courtyard, as if someone had come to comfort her mother.

Xu Qiuqian's ears have been good since she was a child, so she can hear what the two of them are talking about with a little concentration.

"Hey, there's nothing we can do about it. If we don't send Qianqian there, the fairy beast won't allow us to go up the mountain."

Their Xujia Village lived on this mountain. If they were not allowed to go up the mountain, wouldn't they starve to death?

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

"Auntie, don't worry, Xiaohui is still there without you. Xiaohui is only nine years old. Xiaohui is smart, capable and beautiful. After sixteen years, there will definitely be people coming to propose marriage."

After several rounds of persuasion, Xu Qiuqian's mother was finally persuaded.

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

Before the words fell, there was only a "squeak", and Xu Qiuqian's door opened.

When the two saw Xu Qiuqian, embarrassment appeared on their faces.

"Hey, that aunt, I still have something to do, so let's go first."

After all, the woman turned and left.

With red eyes, the woman explained eagerly, "Qianqian, don't get me wrong, I didn't mean that."

"I know."

Xu Qiuqian's expression was flat: "I want to go out for a walk."

Hearing this, the woman hurriedly said: "Okay, you go, mother will make you your favorite pot-packed meat, remember to come back and eat later."

It was just because she was afraid that she would not be able to think about running away.

Xu Qiu lowered his eyes slightly and hummed.

She walks out of the yard.

As she remembered, Xujia Village was also gray and colorless.

Xu Qiuqian walked and walked for an unknown amount of time, when a road up the mountain appeared in front of her eyes, she looked up and was stunned, because she came to the foot of the mountain unknowingly.

She looked at the endlessly high, towering mountaintop.

It is said 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 didn't understand.

Can absorbing the essence of the sun and the moon become a fairy?
She will be sent to the top of the mountain three days later.

At that time, could she also see the scenery on the top of the mountain and absorb the essence of the sun and the moon?

If she absorbed the essence of the sun and the moon, would she also be able to achieve Taoism and become a fairy?
She has always had a secret in her heart that she hasn't mentioned to anyone except her sister, that is, she wants to become a fairy.

She wants to become a fairy, and then go to see the world outside the mountain village. She doesn't want to be trapped in a corner, get married and have children step by step, or sacrifice to fairy beasts, but all these are her wishful thinking.

I heard that Xiuxian needs spiritual roots, but she doesn't have spiritual roots, she is just a mortal.

"Sister!"

Xiaohui's voice came from behind.

Xu Qiuqian withdrew his gaze and turned around to see Xiaohui came running out of breath.

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

As long as she thinks that the mountain will take sister away in three days, she doesn't want to see it.

The two sisters have a good relationship, so Xu Qiuqian did not refuse, and was taken away by Xiaohui.

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

Granny Liao used to be a midwife and knew some medical skills in curing diseases and saving lives. But after her daughter was sent up 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 can't go to the top of the mountain, she can only go to the place closest to the top of the mountain, and stay for a whole day.

Later, Granny Liao said that she saw the appearance of a fairy beast, which was so scary and frightening.

But everyone thinks Mrs. Liao is crazy.

Xu Qiuqian couldn't help frowning: "Isn't Pom Liao crazy?"

"I don't think she's crazy. If she's crazy, why can't she forget to climb to the top of the mountain every once in a while? Oh, let's not talk about this. I have something very important to tell you, sister."

"what's up?"

"Sister, don't you want to cultivate immortality?"
