There is a fire phoenix in Licheng that has lived in the Jing'an Temple for three hundred years, and at the same time, there is also a divine beast unicorn that is a disaster in the Jing'an Temple, and the mission of the fire phoenix in Licheng is to suppress the unicorn beast in this witch pool.

Therefore, the fire phoenix has become the goddess in the mouth of the people of Licheng, and it is very believing, and thousands of people go to worship the goddess in the temple every year.

Fifteen years ago, one of the two major families in Licheng, Mrs. Duanfu gave birth to a daughter, when the girl was born, there were all kinds of larks hovering over Duanfu, and the larks circled and chirped in the sky above Duanfu for a whole day before they left, and the west corner of the sky was also a red glow, An Huiniang said that it was a good omen, and the little lady should be the chosen one.

Duan Fu was happy to have a daughter, and before he had time to celebrate, the Taoist of the Jing'an Temple, Jing Ci, hurried to Duan Mansion and told Duan Xin, the master of Duan Mansion, that this woman was a bad star, and this woman was born to kill the goddess. and asked Duan Xin to kill this woman to send the goddess's spirit in the sky.

Qiao Linger hugged her child in fear, "When my child was born, it was obviously a hundred birds and a good omen. ”

Jingci waved his hand, the scene of the goddess's death was reproduced, through the fantasy, you can clearly see that the goddess flew around the pillar of the god a few times, suddenly a piercing chirp, the goddess's whole body burst and died, bright red blood splashed on the pillar, and then Jingci said, "How does Madame know that it is a hundred birds singing, not a hundred birds singing?" If this woman is not removed, there will inevitably be endless troubles. Master Duan had to make a plan early, not to become a sinner in the world in order to protect this evil girl. ”

Duan Xin has always valued his own face, Duan Mansion has a "demon", the family's Rongxin will inevitably be affected, Duan Xin will never destroy his family's foundation for a "demon", cut off his future, and ignore Qiao Linger's obstruction, vowing to drown this woman, Qiao Linger has just given birth to a child, her body is extremely weak, and under a dispute, she accidentally fell from the platform and died.

Qiao Ling'er's nurse An Huiniang, seeing that her young lady was killed and the old man was going to drown the little lady again, she cried and threatened Duan Xin and said, "Master, the little lady is your flesh and blood after all, if you insist on drowning the little lady, the slave will die in front of you, the young lady and the slave die in Duan Mansion at the same time, the old ancestor will definitely be suspicious, the Qiao family will definitely not give up, you know that the ancestor of my family protects the short." "This Qiao family is another big family in this Li City, the Qiao family and the Duan family are equal in strength in Li City, and they check and balance each other.

In the face of An Huiniang's threat, Duan Xin was afraid that Qiaofu would fight hard with him, so he had no choice but to make a fifteen-year contract with Jingci, promising that Jingci would send this woman to the mountain to apologize to the goddess after fifteen years.

Since that day, Duan Xin sent away all the other people in the know, and also publicized that Qiao Linger died in childbirth, and neither the adult nor the child could hold it. found someone to bring the dead body of a baby, the little lady was in the hands of Jingci, An Huiniang had to lie and fool Qiaofu over. Qiao Fu could not accept this "fact", and after Qiao Ling'er's funeral, the family moved away in sadness, and no one knew where Qiao Fu had moved.

An Huiniang named the baby girl born to Qiao Linger Anping, with her surname, I only hope that this child can be safe.

The Qiao family moved, and now only the big family of Duanfu is left in Licheng.

He still has to rely on Duan Xin for his future life, so Jingci told the people of Licheng that the goddess has reached the limit and the immortal has passed away.

Hearing this news, the whole city began to fall into panic, and some people even began to plan to move out, after all, everyone knows that the goddess is to suppress this unicorn, this unicorn is because there are too many evils, so the heavenly monarch was beaten down to the mortal world, and sent the goddess to guard here, now this goddess is dead, what if the divine beast in this witch pool runs out to do evil again, you are just ordinary people, in the face of the divine beast is powerless, is not in vain to die.

Jingci reassured the people that he had reached an agreement with the Divine Beast that as long as he sent boys and girls to worship him every two years, the Divine Beast promised that he would not come out to harm people. Although the people complained, they were naturally more willing to send boys and girls to plug the mouths of the beasts than the safety of the people in the city.

Since then, every two years when the moon is full, Li Cheng will send the boy and girl to worship the sacred beast in the witch pool, send it at night, do some worship rituals, and then tie the boy and girl to the sacred pillar where the goddess lives, and when the second day comes, there is only a pile of bones left under the sacred pillar.

After An Ping was born, he was also imprisoned by Duan Xin in a dark cave that does not see the light of day all year round, and there is a family handle at the entrance of the cave, except for An Huiniang, who will come to see him every day, An Ping has not seen anyone else.

The candle on the stone slab was the only light in the cave, and An Ping sat on the ground, looking at the candle flames swaying from side to side, flickering and flickering, as if the only light would be extinguished by a casual breeze.

An Huiniang sat on the stone bench to hide her face and cry non-stop, "Ping'er, Ping'er, my aunt is sorry for you, my aunt is sorry for your mother, it's my aunt who didn't take care of you, it's all my aunt, it's all my aunt......" An Huiniang's look, it is obvious that the fifteenth period has arrived.

Anping has been treated inhumanely since he was a child, and his personality has been raised to be extraordinarily withdrawn, with almost no sadness or joy on his face, Anping listened to An Huiniang's words, did not cry, just quietly watched the candle melted into a tear by the candle flame, "Auntie, they will come tonight, right." ”

may have known since he was a child that he would be sent to apologize to the goddess when he was fifteen years old, and after waiting for a long time to die, Anping felt that when he really heard that he was going to be sent to apologize, he was not so afraid, and he felt a sense of relief.

An Huiniang couldn't see Anping's appearance, so she knelt in front of Anping with a "bang", and hugged Anping fiercely, "Ping'er, it's my aunt who is sorry for you, Ping'er, you run away, as long as you escape, they won't be able to catch you, you can live a good life, Ping'er, you can escape......"

An Ping finally opened his mouth, hugged An Huiniang back, and gently followed An Huiniang's back because of crying, "Auntie, you can't escape." ”

Saying that, Anping gently pushed An Huiniang away, Anping looked at An Huiniang who was crying with tears on her face, and stretched out her hand to wipe away the tears hanging on her face, "Auntie, if Anping can come back alive, then Anping will no longer be Anping from now on, if Anping can't come back alive, aunt, Anping has a sentence to explain to you, aunt, you have to live well, don't hurt yourself for Anping's death." ”

An Huiniang listened to An Ping's words, and hugged An Ping again in tears, constantly blaming herself, "It's all my aunt, it's all my aunt...... It's because my aunt can't protect you, you're still so young, if you leave, how can you let your aunt explain to your aunt under Jiuquan......"

In the past fifteen years, An Huiniang has escaped with An Ping several times, but she was arrested and beaten half to death by Duan Xin.

What An Ping remembers most clearly is when he was four years old, it was the second time An Huiniang escaped with her, and on the way, she was chased back by Duan Xin and others.
