Chapter 163: Is there a fallen-foot fairy worshipped at home?
Jiang Nanxi said, "Something was added inside."
Lu Jiaqi was shocked. "What? Is this Saba tribe member trying to poison us?!"
"I don't know. I just think the glutinous rice balls smell a bit strange. They must have some special spices added to them. This village is a bit strange to begin with, so it's better to be cautious."
As soon as Jiang Nanxi finished speaking, Liu Qingyan spoke up, "It should be because of the addition of fairy fruit. It smells a bit like fairy fruit. Fairy fruit can make people faint and hallucinate. I just don't know what he wants to do by making us faint."
Lu Jiaqi couldn't help but gasp in amazement. "How can you tell there's something wrong just by sniffing it out? This is incredible! I only smell the fragrance of glutinous rice and barbecued meat."
Jiang Nanxi and Liu Qingyan are both cultivators, and their five senses are much more sensitive than those of ordinary people, so they can naturally smell it.
The Saba man just now was called Sanjie. They met Sanjie as soon as they entered the village. Sanjie readily agreed to let them stay.
But now it seems that he agreed so readily, probably for another purpose.
There was only one empty room in Sanjay's house, so the four of them had to squeeze into one room to rest.
The three grown men gave the only bed in the room to Jiang Nanxi. They asked Sangjie for a bamboo mat to spread on the floor, intending to spend the night there.
Lu Jiaqi had just spread the bamboo mat when he suddenly heard the sound of a lock being locked outside the door. He hurried to the door.
He looked through the crack in the door and saw Sanjay locking their room with a big lock from the outside!
“Oh my god!”
Lu Jiaqi hurried back and said to the others, "Sangjie locked the door, we can't get out! What on earth does he want to do to us?"
"Shhh."
Jiang Nanxi made a gesture to silence him and said to him, "There are a lot of people outside, don't talk for now."
Lu Jiaqi quickly calmed down.
Not long after, a conversation was heard outside.
A dull and cold voice asked, "Sangjie, you are on patrol today. Are there any outsiders in the village?"
Sanjay said, “No.”
The voice suddenly became stern.
"You're lying! Someone just heard screams, and the tribesmen living on the outskirts of the village saw someone running in from the woods. It must be an outsider! We in the Saba tribe have a rule that we can't go out at night. It's impossible for a tribesman to run around in the village."
Sanjie said coldly, "Chief, didn't you bring outsiders in? Maybe they were running around outside at night. Anyway, I didn't see any other outsiders come in."
"impossible."
The patriarch said, "When someone told me, I went to look for those outsiders. They were still sleeping in my house, how could they be running around outside!
Sanjay, please move aside. I want to go in and take a look. If there are really outsiders coming, you must hand them over to me. This is the rule of the Saba people! "
The voices outside stopped for a moment.
Suddenly, someone shouted, "Sangjie, why are you blocking the door? Are you a Tibetan? Hand over everyone immediately. Do you want your people to die?!"
There was a commotion outside, and Sanjay was shouting "Let go, let go."
With a bang.
Jiang Nanxi heard someone pushing open the outer door and heard footsteps coming from it. It should be the chief of the Saba tribe bringing people in to search.
The patriarch's voice came again, "Sanjay, why is this room locked? Open the door."
Sanjay said in a sad tone, "This is my brother's room. He...he has been dead for so long, I have never opened it. I am afraid of seeing it and feeling sad. You don't need to look at it, there is no one in it."
The clan leader sighed and said, "Your brother has been gone for such a long time, why haven't you come out yet? But rules are rules, I still have to take people to see it."
He patted Sanjay's shoulder and said earnestly, "Sanjay, why don't you understand? If outsiders really come to the Sabah tribe, it will be a good thing for us. You don't want other people to become like your brother, do you?"
Sang Jie stared at the clan leader and said, "Clan leader, I have invited the inverted foot fairy to my home. You'd better take your people away!"
"What?!"
The clan leader's face turned pale, and he said in a horrified tone, "Why did you invite this thing back again? This thing can't be suppressed. The clan has long said that it is not allowed to be invited! Are you trying to kill us all?"
Sanjay said coldly, "I live in fear every day anyway. I might as well make a fortune before I die!"
"you……!"
The patriarch was so angry that he trembled all over.
Sangjie added, "The inverted foot fairy is in my brother's room. If you really want to see it, go in and have a look."
"What are we even looking at? You've already invited us to your home, how could we dare to look?"
The patriarch roared.
Not long after, Jiang Nanxi heard the sound of footsteps fading away, and the clan leader and his men left.
She also heard other tribesmen whispering that Sanjay was crazy, and some said that they should not come to Sanjay's house because they would get into big trouble.
When everyone outside was quiet, Lu Jiaqi lowered his voice and asked the others, "Did you hear that? The Sabah tribe doesn't seem to welcome outsiders in. Did Sangjie lock the door to prevent us from being discovered?"
"That should be it."
Jiang Nanxi frowned, "If it was just to prevent us from being discovered, why did they put drugs in the food?"
Jiang Nanxi recalled their conversation and thought of the "inverted foot fairy" mentioned by Sangjie.
This thing is the "One-legged Five-legged Man" they encountered, and the Inverted-legged Immortal is another name for it.
The inverted foot deity is enshrined in this room?!
Jiang Nanxi got up from the bed and scanned the dark room. His spiritual sense could see the room clearly.
But after a careful inspection, she found no shrine or statue, let alone the incense, candles, food, or other things needed for offerings.
Knock knock knock.
There was a knock on the door.
Sanjie was outside the door, lowering his voice and saying to them, "Don't make any noise at night, and don't run out, otherwise you'll be in trouble if someone finds you. Tomorrow the tribe will have a sacrificial ceremony, and everyone will go to the east. You should take this opportunity to leave."
Lu Jiaqi was standing by the door and whispered back, "I see, brother. Um... could you tell me what the meaning of the inverted foot immortal being enshrined in this room is?"
Sanjay replied, “They lied to them.”
"Ohhhhh."
Only then did Lu Jiaqi feel relieved.
Sangjie left the door and closed it. Jiang Nanxi took out a few quilts from the space and threw them to the three men in the room.
"Go to bed first, we'll talk about it tomorrow."
Jiang Nanxi lay down on the bed and fell asleep first, with the big rooster nestled at her feet, and the others also rested.
Around three or four in the morning.
Everyone fell asleep, and Jiang Nanxi's big rooster suddenly stood up straight and raised its head.
“Gugugugugugugu——!”
The loud crowing of cocks echoed in the darkness.
The four people in the room were all woken up in confusion, and the audience who accidentally entered the live broadcast room in the middle of the night were also shocked.
"?"
Lu Jiaqi suddenly opened his eyes and was speechless. "Aotian, it's not even dawn yet, what are you yelling for?"
Just as he finished speaking, he suddenly felt a cool breeze coming from under the bed next to him.
The wind also blew a gust of fine hair that fluttered around on his face, making him feel itchy.
