Chapter 175 Neither the Falling Foot Immortal nor the Saba God exists!
Jiang Nanxi jumped onto the altar. Standing on the high ground, he could see clearly that the door of the Temple of Heaven was open, but it was pitch black inside. There was no light even in broad daylight, and he could not see anything clearly.
Inside the open door, the wind was howling, and the inside looked damp, eerie and gloomy. The door was like the mouth of a giant beast, ready to swallow up everyone who passed by.
"Come on, come in."
There seemed to be a voice coming from my ears.
It was inviting her.
Jiang Nanxi's eyes darkened, and he was about to go over to find out what was going on, but he heard footsteps not far away.
"Nanxi!"
A familiar voice called her name.
Jiang Nanxi turned around and saw that it was Ye Shutong who had brought people from the Psychic Bureau. They all looked unhappy, as if they had received some terrible news.
Ye Shutong ran towards Jiang Nanxi and said to her solemnly, "We have been following your live broadcast and have vaguely guessed how those people died."
They had long guessed that the deaths of those people were related to the Saba people, but they did not expect that they died so tragically.
Ye Shutong also took out a document from his backpack and said, "Before entering the mountain, I also looked up some information about the Fallen Foot Fairy and the Saba God.
At first you suspected that Sangjie's younger brother Sangyu was the inverted-foot fairy, but he was not. He kidnapped the children to protect them from the fate of being sacrificed.
But before Sang Yu appeared, many members of the Saba tribe had died mysteriously. Those deaths were most likely caused by the Daojiaoxian, but they might not have been.
Jiang Nanxi didn't quite understand what she meant. "What do you mean by maybe, and maybe not?"
Ye Shutong said, "I arrived at the village a long time ago. I found that you can handle the situation here, so I will investigate other parts of the village first. I went to the wizard's house. The people in the wizard's house were the first to die at the hands of the Inverted Foot Fairy. I suspect that the Inverted Foot Fairy may not exist, and the Saba God does not exist either!"
"What? That's impossible!"
This time, not only Jiang Nanxi and the others were shocked, but the members of the Saba tribe were even more incredulous.
The tribe leader stared at Ye Shutong intently and said, "Outsider, stop spreading rumors here. The Saba God has already appeared to protect the Saba people. How could he not exist?"
Ye Shutong looked at him coldly and said, "As far as I know, the Saba people didn't worship the Saba God from the beginning.
The Yunnan Provincial Annals record that the Meng family city was built during the Dian period, and the Dian people revered it as a local deity, with each village worshipping it. In ancient times, villages in Yunnan Province mainly worshipped the local deity temple.
Although the Saba people live in the Ailao Mountains and have no contact with the outside world all year round, ancient books show that the Saba people, like the nearby villages and towns, worship the Lord Mahakala, Misimoma.
It was only after something happened to the wizard's family that the Saba people began to worship the so-called Saba God and offer sacrifices to him, asking him to protect the Saba people from the persecution of the inverted-foot fairy.
The temple where the Tianshen Temple now stands was originally the Tuzhu Temple, dedicated to the Lord Mahakala. I've found relevant photos, and the Tuzhu Temple was previously dilapidated, so you rebuilt it to enshrine the new deity.
The chief said with a cold face, "Yes, the Saba people were indeed followers of Misimoma in the beginning. But after years of offering sacrifices, no miracles were seen, and our people died tragically one after another. Naturally, we must worship a new and useful god."
"miracle?"
Ye Shutong sneered, "If a true god doesn't possess you, then the one possessing you isn't a true god. The miracles you saw weren't miracles, but ghostly ones!"
Ye Shutong took out a complete clay statue from her bag and threw it on the ground. "This is the statue of the inverted-footed immortal that I found in the witch's house. There are still incense and candles burning, and offerings on it, which means she is still worshipping it.
The witch is the messenger of the Saba God, communicating with the God to send down divine power to protect the village and prevent the inverted foot fairy from harming people, but why does her family still worship the inverted foot fairy?
Seeing this statue, the faces of the chief and other tribesmen changed drastically, and they all looked terrified.
They are extremely familiar with the statue of the inverted-foot fairy. There is such a statue next to every dead person, which makes them believe that the death of their tribe members is related to the inverted-foot fairy.
The tribe leader trembled and said, "It must be that the witch offered the inverted foot fairy to pray for wealth, but did not send her away properly. The inverted foot fairy went to her home and harmed her family, killing them all, and even wanted to harm other members of the tribe!"
"If that's the case, then why is she still worshipping the Inverted Foot Fairy? Her family died at the hands of the Inverted Foot Fairy. She must hate him immensely and should have destroyed the statue long ago!"
"She...she might be afraid of retaliation..."
"She is in the village, protected by the power of the gods. What is there to be afraid of?"
After hearing Ye Shutong's words, the other tribesmen couldn't help but talk about it, and they were all confused.
"Yeah, why is the witch still worshipping the inverted-foot fairy at home? Didn't she throw away the statue long ago after the incident at her family?"
"I don't know. Did she invite the wizard back? But the inverted foot fairy killed her whole family. Why would she invite him back?"
Ye Shutong continued in a cold voice, "I'll tell you why. The God of Heaven is the Inverted Foot Fairy, and the Inverted Foot Fairy is the God of Heaven! The God of Heaven killed the witch's entire family, leaving her an old medium, just to invite the gods to deceive you, eat the incense of the Saba people, and make you offer sacrifices to it!
The wizard has brought back the statue of the fallen-footed immortal and is offering sacrifices every day. This is no longer for the sake of wealth, but to contact the gods and cooperate with them to deceive you!"
"How is this possible!"
The patriarch didn't believe it at all.
Or rather, I can’t believe it!
At this time, Jiang Nanxi walked forward, picked up the statue of the inverted-footed immortal on the ground, and felt it carefully.
"There's a ghostly aura up there. It must be that when the witch was offering incense earlier, a ghost passed by and possessed her, disguised as a foot-falling fairy and killed her family.
Later, the sorcerer, seeking revenge, came to believe in the god Saba and built a temple to him. He likely discovered long ago that the god she worshipped was the culprit behind her family's deaths. But she was already working for a ghost, and there was no turning back; she had no choice but to continue.
Ye Shutong said, "It's not a passing ghost, but the ghosts sealed here that are causing trouble. Most passing ghosts are wandering souls and don't have such strong power."
Jiang Nanxi was surprised. "A ghost sealed here? Is there some powerful ghost sealed in Ailao Mountain?"
"Yes, it was sealed a long time ago. The power of the two realms was mobilized to seal it together."
Liu Qingyan was standing next to the two of them. When he heard their conversation, his expression became strange.
The ghost sealed in Ailao Mountain?
He seemed to have sealed one before.
But he had sealed too many ghosts, and the ghosts in Ailao Mountain were not the most difficult ones, so he could hardly remember them all.
Jiang Nanxi asked, "What is being sealed? It requires the power of both realms to seal it together. It must be at least a Ghost King, right?"
Ye Shutong nodded and said, "This has to start with the name of Ailao Mountain. Ailao Mountain does not mean 'sadness turns into injury, and prison turns into prison' as rumored by the outside world. In the local area, Ailao means boss.
In ancient times, there lived a person here..."
