On an ordinary evening, a handsome man who claimed to be Qing Lan came to Xia Qiu and Dong's house.
Qing Lan was dressed in a white robe. His long and smooth black hair was tied behind his head with a hairpin. He looked like an ancient scholar who was gentle and handsome. People couldn't help but have a good impression of him.
Xia Qiu and Dong had been living in the mountain village. All the adult men in the village had gone out to work. Those who stayed were basically old and weak. Even if they could see young men outside, they couldn't compare to Qing Lan in terms of appearance or other aspects.
With just one glance, Xia Qiu and Dong were attracted to Qing Lan.
Therefore, when Qing Lan asked if they could stay for a night, Xia Qiu and Dong agreed without thinking about Qing Lan.
Xia Qiu and Dong thought that Qing Lan was so good-looking that he couldn't be a bad person.
Qing Lan's temporary stay soon became a permanent stay.
Qing Lan also treated himself as a person in the house. Every day, he helped Xia Qiu and Dong work in the fields. Occasionally, he would help Xia Qiu and Dong with the fire when they were cooking in the kitchen. The two's life was as natural as that of an old couple.
Xia Qiu and Dong had reached the age suitable for marriage. At this moment, when they met Qing Lan who treated them like this, their hearts couldn't help but become restless.
Therefore, when Qing Lan wanted to teach her magic and said that it could protect her soul from being destroyed, she agreed without thinking.
However, Xia Qiu and Dong were originally ordinary people. Most of their thoughts were spent on how to please Qing Lan. When it came to practicing magic, they were particularly perfunctory.
As Xia Qiu and Dong began to practice magic, the weather in the village became worse and worse. The weather, which usually changed once a day, changed several times a day. .
For this reason, Xia Qiu and Dong specially asked Qing Lan.
Qing Lan, who used to smile warmly when he saw her, showed a worried expression for the first time. However, he didn't give Xia Qiu and Dong a specific answer.
As the seasons changed more and more, Qing Lan's friends, who would only come once in a while, came more and more often. Some of them even started to stay here permanently.
The smiles on everyone's faces disappeared and were replaced with solemnity and worry.
Many times, Xia Qiudong could even feel the crowd sizing her up.
He looked at her as if he was looking at goods.
Xia Qiu Dong was just an ordinary village girl. She had not seen much of the world and had only studied until junior high school.
Now that so many people were looking at them with such unfriendly eyes, Xia Qiu and Dong Cheng were extremely scared.
Xia Qiudong had a feeling that these people were planning something behind her back.
Today, the weather was very good. The warm wind blew on his face, like the caress between lovers, extremely gentle.
It was rare for Qing Lan to take the initiative to cook for Xia Qiu and Dong Xi.
Today was the most beautiful day of Xia Qiu Dong's life.
Just as Xia Qiu Dong was about to tell Qing Lan how much she liked him, the gorgeous clouds in the sky suddenly turned as black as ink. Qing Lan and the others immediately turned and walked out of the house.
And for the first time, Xia Qiu Dong knew why Qing Lan and the others were all gathered in this small village.
Because in their eyes, he was nothing more than an insignificant but necessary sacrifice.
She was the last person of the Nan tribe, and also the last person who could enter the array as a sacrifice to activate the array to seal the Demon King.
And the reason why those people looked at her with such unfriendly eyes was because they were prepared to use her as a sacrifice from the beginning. However, Qing Lan felt that the heavens were merciful and couldn't bear to use her as a sacrifice. He persuaded them to give him time to teach him a spell that could make the soul immortal and save her life.
Hearing Qing Lan's gentle voice telling them these things, Xia Qiu Dong suddenly understood.
She was wondering why such an immortal like Qing Lan would stay with her in this small village. He even helped her carry water, chop firewood, and catch insects for her. It turned out that in his eyes, she would be a dead person sooner or later. He wanted to treat her better.
And from Qing Lan's words, Xia Qiu Dong finally understood what the Nan tribe was.
The Nan tribe was an ancient tribe with noble blood flowing in their veins. Their tribe was born as the eye of the array. No matter what array, as long as the Nan tribe was used as a sacrifice, it would be twice the result with half the effort.
Because of the frequent battles in the ancient times, the Nan tribe became the focus of the gods because of their unique physique. And because of this, the Nan tribe suffered heavy casualties.
Until now, only the pitiful Xia Qiu Dong's bloodline was left.
Qing Lan quietly looked at Xia Qiu Dong. "If you are afraid, I will send you away."
Qing Lan wanted to stop the Demon King's invasion, but he respected every life.
Otherwise, he wouldn't have begged everyone to give him some time to let Xia Qiudong learn a spell that could protect his soul when they were about to sacrifice him. That way, he could keep Xia Qiudong alive.
Qing Lan was too gentle. Xia Qiu Dong, who had always liked Qing Lan, naturally fell for him.
Xia Qiu Dong asked Qing Lan what would happen if she didn't want to be sacrificed.
Qing Lan still gently told her that if she didn't want to be sacrificed, they would only have one ending, and that was to fight to the death with the Demon King. However, the success rate of this method was so low that it was only 30%.
Looking at the gentle Qing Lan, Xia Qiu Dong really didn't want Qing Lan to die. So, she took the initiative to be sacrificed.
Although a great battle was about to break out, with Xia Qiu Dong as a sacrifice, Qing Lan's side had a much higher chance of winning.
The others, who were originally unfriendly towards Xia Qiu Dong, also found Xia Qiu Dong pleasing to the eye. They even took the initiative to say that during the sacrifice, they would protect Xia Qiu Dong's soul and preserve her life.
The sacrifice was quickly carried out.
Before choosing to be sacrificed, Xia Qiu Dong had no idea what she was about to face.
But after becoming a sacrifice, Xia Qiu Dong finally understood how it felt to be a sacrifice. When the body and soul were separated, it was so painful and unbearable.
Xia Qiu Dong regretted it.
She started to regret agreeing to become a sacrifice for Qing Lan.
This sacrificial formation was originally meant to preserve Xia Qiu Dong's soul and preserve her life, but it greatly reduced the success rate. Now, Xia Qiu Dong's regret made the already low success rate even lower.
The sacrificial formation failed.
Xia Qiu Dong successfully survived, but what she had to face was everyone's reproach and Qing Lan's faint sadness.
Now that the sacrificial formation failed, the only thing Qing Lan and the others could do was to fight to the death.
The Demon King had the advantage in numbers and had been dormant for many years. Qing Lan and the others had been working hard to protect humans all these years. Moreover, the sacrifice just now had used up a lot of energy. The original 30% to 70% had now become 19%.
