Chapter 170 The Deadly Stupidity
"My brother is dead."
Sanjie looked at his tribesmen below with hatred, "He was used as a sacrifice and was killed by them!"
Sanjay also glanced at the Temple of the Gods in the woods.
"The sorcerer asked the gods to cut off one of my brother's arms and one of his legs, and then, singing a ballad, offered him as a sacrifice to the gods. None of the sacrifices sent into the temple of the gods came out alive.
Not long ago, many outsiders came to search for missing tourists and discovered that they had been kidnapped by the Saba people and used as sacrifices. They said that the beings in the Temple of Heaven were not gods, but evil spirits, who were tricking us into killing people and offering sacrifices to them.
Those people rushed into the Temple of Heaven, shouting about eradicating the evil, but... but they couldn't come out alive.
But because they suddenly ran in to cause trouble, a wall of the Temple of Heaven was broken, and my brother ran out from inside. Although he looked completely different from before, I still recognized him.
Sangjie pointed at the "Inverted Foot Fairy" being lifted up by the crowd below the altar and said, "Look at his feet. His feet are not upside down. He is not the Inverted Foot Fairy. He is my brother."
Jiang Nanxi looked in the direction of his finger and saw the feet of the "Inverted Foot Fairy".
The direction of that foot is the same as that of a normal person.
The "One-legged Wulang" in Yunnan Province's legend is also called the "Inverted-legged Immortal", not only because it has only one leg, but also because there is a very special way to identify it, that is, its foot is inverted.
The heels are facing forward and the toes are facing backward, which is exactly the opposite of the normal direction of a person's feet.
Sanjay's voice came again.
"Also, the legendary inverted-footed fairy doesn't have a tail, but my brother was born with a tail. As he got older, his tail got longer. When he was little, everyone called him little monkey."
Lu Jiaqi said in surprise, "How could a normal human be born with a tail? Your brother is so weird."
Song Shixing thought for a moment and said, "It is possible for humans to be born with tails. I saw a news report before about a family that married close relatives and gave birth to a deformed girl with a tail.
However, modern medical methods are very advanced, and the phenomenon of tail atavism can be removed through surgery. The girl became a normal person after the operation."
Lu Jiaqi widened his eyes slightly and said, "Could it be that for this reason, brother Sangjie was treated as a monster and given to the gods as a sacrifice? This is too pitiful!
If his brother were outside, he would be a normal person after the surgery, no different from everyone else!"
Sanjay's expression changed slightly.
Sanjay stammered, "Can everyone become a normal person after the surgery? There are many children who are..."
At this time, the Sabah people built a fire and placed Sanjay's brother on the fire.
Seeing them holding torches and preparing to light the fire, Sangjie quickly ran down from the altar, "Sangyu!"
Sangjie ran to the fire and tried to stop his tribesmen from lighting it, but was pushed away.
"Sanjay, what are you doing!"
The clan leader shouted, "This isn't your brother Sang Yu at all. He's a monster possessed by the Inverted Foot Fairy! If we don't burn him to death, he'll not only eat the children, but us too!"
Have you forgotten the tragedy that happened to the witch's family? The witch's entire family was eaten by the inverted foot fairy! None of her sons, daughters-in-law, grandchildren, or granddaughters survived! "
"No, no, Sang Yu is not a foot fairy, he won't eat children."
Sang Jie knelt beside the chief, tugged at his clothes and said, "Chief, Sang Yu told me that he wanted to save the children. He took the children away because he didn't want them all to be sacrificed. He would never eat children!"
With a bang.
The tribe leader kicked Sanjie away fiercely, glared at him angrily and said, "Okay, so it's you two brothers who are secretly ruining the tribe! He wants to save the little monster, so who will save us?
Those little monsters aren't children at all; they're possessed by evil spirits! If we don't sacrifice them and let the gods suppress the evil spirits, these little monsters will grow up to attract more and more inverted-footed immortals! The entire Saba tribe will be finished!
All the wizard's family members died tragically, and that murderous inverted foot fairy was brought here by your brother!"
The clan leader turned to look at the others, "Light the fire, what are you still standing there for!"
"No--!"
Sanjay's eyes were bloodshot as he stumbled to his feet. "That incident has nothing to do with my brother. Just because he had a tail since he was a child, you guys pin all the dirty deeds on him! On what basis do you have that?!"
The stranger who broke in last time was right. You are ignorant, you are all ignorant fools! Not only are you fools, you are all murderers!
You killed so many innocent children, tourists, and even heroes who were exorcising evil spirits. You are the ones who deserve to die the most!"
Sangjie's eyes were red, and he charged towards the tribesmen holding torches not far away like a wild bull.
"Don't hurt my brother!"
At first, some tribesmen were not paying attention and were knocked down by Sanjie. After they reacted, they joined forces to suppress him and found a rope to tie him up.
"Let me go, let me go! You are not allowed to burn my brother! If you dare, burn me too!"
Upon hearing this, the clan leader sneered, "Then I'll satisfy you and tie him up with you!"
“Squeak—squeak—”
Sang Yu, who was tied to the fire, saw Sang Jie being carried up as well. Red tears of blood fell from his scarlet eyes.
“Brother, brother…”
He couldn't help but whimper and called his brother vaguely.
His tail was swinging restlessly, hitting Sanjay again and again, as if trying to knock him down.
"Xiaoyu, it's okay. I'm here. I'll always be with you."
Sanjay looked at him with a smile.
It was just like when he was a child and people laughed at him for having a long tail like a monkey. No one wanted to play with him, so he hid at home and cried secretly, and his brother comforted him.
My brother said, it’s okay, Xiaoyu has a tail and is a monkey, and he is the most powerful little monkey, the Monkey King Sun Wukong.
My brother also said that Xiaoyu is different from others and will definitely become a great hero like Sun Wukong in the future.
Just as he thought of this, Sang Yu heard Sang Jie say, "Xiao Yu, they are going to light a fire, don't be afraid. Do you still remember the story of Sun Wukong that your brother told you when you were a child?"
Sun Wukong was imprisoned in the Taishang Laojun's alchemy furnace and burned for a long time. Finally, he developed flaming eyes and became the Great Sage Equaling Heaven.
Sang Yu blinked and said, "Xiaoyu...don't be afraid...hiss...Xiaoyu...Xiaoyu will also become the Monkey King...hiss, Xiaoyu will protect you..."
Sanjay said, “Okay.”
He slowly closed his eyes.
Just as Sanjay was about to die, he suddenly heard a loud noise.
His feet were still shaking, as if something had suddenly jumped from a great height onto the fire.
The clan leader's scolding voice came again, "Stop it right there! Outsiders are not allowed to interfere in our clan's affairs!"
Sanjay opened his eyes.
