Chapter 54 This is their grudge against each other
Yun Xi and the others no longer paid too much attention to everything that happened next. They had already figured out the source and reason of the curse.
What they have to do now...
"what should we do?"
After witnessing with his own eyes the little nightmare beast turned into a white mist and dissipated in the formation, Ye Nianhan lowered his eyes.
"What to do? Of course leave right now! Everything that happened in Qingxi Village is their own fault! What qualifications do they have for us to save such people!"
Xiao Lingyuan had always been straightforward, and after seeing what Qingxi Village was doing, she no longer had any sympathy for this village that originally made her feel pitiful.
She didn't want to save a village like this.
Ye Nianhan also had the same idea in his heart, but they still handed over the final decision to Yun Xi without hesitation.
"Xiao Xi..."
"Huh~~~"
Yun Xi exhaled a long breath, as if she wanted to let go of the depression in her heart.
"Little Nightmare Beast, we have finished watching what you asked us to see. Come out."
A wisp of breeze blew by, and the sound was like a flute. The surrounding villagers disappeared. A wisp of white mist slowly rose in front of them, and there was a faint shadow of a petite beast in the white mist.
"We meet again."
The voice coming out of the white mist was very deep.
This is the nightmare beast that led the three of them into the nightmare, turning into Zhen Mei, Tan Rui, and Huang Yi.
Except for Ye Nianhan, this was the first time for the other two people to meet it in a real sense.
"How can I lift the curse in the village?"
Yun Xi stared at it and asked very directly.
"Xiao Xi!"
Xiao Lingyuan looked at her anxiously.
Yun Xi raised her hand to stop her next words.
"The way you are now, you should be considered alive."
The prince of Fengyun County failed to find the source of the curse. Firstly, the nightmare curse of the nightmare beast was not like a curse. Secondly, the nightmare beast sacrificed its own body in order to take revenge on Qingxi Village, so that not even a breath was left.
But sacrificing the body does not mean death.
The fact that the nightmare beast can pull them into the dreamland shows that it is still alive.
"Alive?"
The Nightmare Beast's tone was slightly sad: "What's the difference between me living like this and dead?"
Yun Xi heard the hatred and sadness in its heart, and sighed softly: "Then let me ask another question, how can I save you?"
Xiao Lingyuan and Ye Nianhan were shocked.
"Can it be saved?"
Yun Xi explained: "I once read an ancient book that mentioned the nightmare beast. As a nightmare beast, even if the body dies, the soul can still survive in the dream. For the nightmare beast, the soul dissipates. It means real death."
The two of them realized: "So, it's still alive?"
Yun Xi looked at the nightmare beast hidden in the mist and said, "It doesn't even have the ability to transform into a dream. I'm afraid its vitality has almost disappeared."
"In your current state, you can only persist for a few more months at most. After a few months, when you dissipate, the nightmare curse on the villagers will disappear. Their wealth is still hidden under the Furen Mountain. They You can still live the rest of your life peacefully.”
"It's not worth it to you."
The following words were spoken by Yun Xi to the Nightmare Beast. Hearing the words, the Nightmare Beast said softly: "So what, I know my current state very well. I am hopeless. I have punished them for fifteen years. Be honest." "My resentment has disappeared, but whether it's a human or an animal, once you make a choice, you should bear the responsibility and consequences behind it."
The nightmare beast said sincerely: "For me, I am very happy to meet you at the last moment of my life and see you working together to overcome the nightmare."
Yun Xi took a step forward and asked seriously: "Are you really willing to die like this?"
The white mist is still,
The nightmare beast was silent for a long time.
Yun Xi said again: "If I tell you that I have a way to maintain your life, will you be willing to leave with me?"
"Leave with you?"
Including Xiao Lingyuan and Ye Nianhan, both of them were frightened by this sudden turn of events.
Yun Xi said: "Originally, my purpose of coming to Qingxi Village was very simple, just to lift the curse in the village, but now my mind has changed."
"I want to save you."
What Yun Xi said was not passionate, but very firm and serious.
"Why?"
Nightmare asked.
Yun Xi thought of that farewell: "Because you gave me a chance to say goodbye."
The nightmare beast suddenly fell silent. As the source that pulled Yunxi into the nightmare, it naturally knew what kind of dream Yunxi had.
Yun Xi's farewell in the dream, even as a dream viewer, felt extremely moved.
Of course, what it cares more about is actually why Yun Xi turned into a man?
A long silence continued.
Ye Nianhan and Xiao Lingyuan looked at each other, not knowing what riddle the man and the beast were playing.
The silence was finally broken by Yun Xi.
"I sympathize with what you went through for more than a year, but during the fifteen years of revenge, the villagers of Qingxi Village never used the money they buried in Furen Mountain. I think you should understand why this is better than me. "
The white mist suddenly cleared.
Yun Xi's words touched the heart of the nightmare beast. Of course, it knew what the villagers were doing.
After the curse occurred, the villagers of Qingxi Village suddenly woke up and recalled their actions in the past year. They understood that this was the punishment they deserved.
They knew that the Nightmare Beast was still alive, but they did not confess the reason why they were cursed, nor did they use the money earned from the Nightmare Beast's blood. They were atonement in their own way.
The path that Yunxi and the others saw when they went up the mountain was not made by Qingtan, but by the head of Qingxi Village.
In the past fifteen years, every month, he would come to the top of Mount Furen to kneel down and make atonement for his sins. Over time, he stepped on a small path.
In fact, the fact that the Nightmare Beast was able to reside on that huge stone plate was all the result of the chief of Qingxi Village.
He was blinded by greed and made an unforgivable mistake. Now he spends the rest of his life repaying it, just to restore the villagers to their original state.
In fact, the hatred of the nightmare beast had dissipated a long time ago, but everything was just as it said.
Regardless of whether you are a human being or an animal, when you make a choice, you should bear the responsibility and consequences behind it.
It sacrificed itself and cast a life curse. There are only two ways to lift it.
One is that its soul completely dissipates.
The second is to reshape its body back.
Therefore, even if the resentment is gone, it is unable to help them lift the curse on their lives.
The nightmare beast asked: "What do you want to do?"
Yun Xi asked, "Do you believe me?"
"What will happen if you believe it?"
Yun Xi approached Bai Wu: "As a nightmare beast, you should know better than me that besides reshaping the body, there are other ways to save you."
After a moment of silence, there was a low voice of inquiry from the nightmare beast.
"You want to sign a contract with me?"
"Yes."
