Chapter 163: Is there a foot demon worshipped at home?
Jiang Nanxi said, "Something was added inside."
Lu Jiaqi was shocked. "Add 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. There must be 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 seeds. It smells a bit like fairy seeds. Fairy seeds can make people faint and cause hallucinations. I just don't know what he wants to do by making us faint."
Lu Jiaqi couldn't help but exclaim, "How can you smell something wrong just by smelling it? This is amazing. I can smell the fragrance of glutinous rice and barbecue."
Jiang Nanxi and Liu Qingyan are both cultivators. 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 Sangjie. They met Sangjie as soon as they entered the village, and Sangjie 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 out the bamboo mat when he suddenly heard the sound of a lock being locked outside the door, and 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!
"I rely on!"
Lu Jiaqi hurried back and said to the others, "Sang Jie 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 keep quiet and said to him, "There are a lot of people outside, don't talk for now."
Lu Jiaqi quickly calmed down.
Not long after, there was a conversation 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 are lying! Someone just heard screams, and the tribe members living on the outermost edge of the village saw someone running in from the woods. This must be a stranger! We in the Saba tribe have a rule that we cannot go out at night. It is impossible for the tribe members to run around in the village."
Sanjie said in a cold voice, "Chief, didn't you bring outsiders in? Maybe they were running around outside at night. Anyway, I didn't see any other outsiders coming in."
"impossible."
The clan leader said, "When someone told me, I went to look for those outsiders. They were still sleeping in my house, so how could they be running around outside?
Sanjie, 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 tribe!"
The voices outside stopped for a moment.
Suddenly, someone shouted, "Sangjie, why are you blocking the door? Are you hiding? Hand over everyone quickly. Do you want your people to die?!"
There was a lot of noise outside, and Sanjay was shouting "Let go, let go".
Bang.
Jiang Nanxi heard someone push open the door outside and heard footsteps. It should be the chief of the Saba tribe bringing people in to search.
The chief'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 sad. You don't have 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 have a look."
He patted Sanjay on the shoulder and said earnestly, "Sanjay, why don't you understand? If there are really outsiders coming to the Saba tribe, it will be a good thing for us. You don't want other people to become like your brother, right?"
Sang Jie stared at the tribe leader and said, "Tribal leader, I have invited a foot demon to my home, you should take your people away!"
"what?!"
The clan leader's face changed drastically, and he said in a horrified tone, "Why did you invite this thing back again? This thing cannot be suppressed. The clan has long said that it is not allowed to be invited! Do you want to kill everyone?"
Sanjay said coldly, "I live in fear every day anyway. I might as well make a fortune before I die!"
"you……!"
The clan leader was so angry that he trembled all over.
Sanjay 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 looking at? You've already invited us to your home, how can we dare to look at it?"
The patriarch roared.
Not long after, Jiang Nanxi heard the sound of footsteps fading away, and the clan leader and his people 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 Saba tribe doesn't seem to welcome outsiders in. Sangjie locked the door. Was it to prevent us from being discovered?"
"probably."
Jiang Nanxi frowned, "If it was just to prevent us from being discovered, why did they put drugs in the food?"
Jiang Nanxi thought back to their conversation and thought of the "Inverted Foot Fairy" mentioned by Sangjie.
This thing should be the "One-legged Five-legged Man" they encountered before, and the Inverted-legged Immortal is another name for it.
The inverted foot fairy is placed in this room?!
Jiang Nanxi got up from the bed and scanned the dark room. His spiritual sense could see the room clearly.
But when she checked carefully, she found no shrine or statue, let alone the incense, candles, food, etc. needed for offerings.
knock knock knock.
There was a knock at the door.
Sangjie was outside the door, lowering his voice and saying to them, "Don't make any noise at night, and don't run out, otherwise it will be troublesome if someone finds you. There will be a sacrificial ceremony in the tribe tomorrow, and everyone will go to the east. You should take this opportunity to leave."
Lu Jiaqi was standing by the door and whispered to him, "I know, brother. Um... can I ask what the meaning of the inverted foot fairy being placed in this room is?"
Sanjay replied, "They lied to me."
"Oh oh oh oh."
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 on the bed and fell asleep first, with the big rooster curled up at her feet, and the others also rested.
Around three or four in the morning.
Everyone fell asleep, but Jiang Nanxi's big rooster suddenly stood up straight and raised its head.
“Gulp, gulp, gulp—!”
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 startled.
"?"
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 beside him, and a gust of fine hair blew around on his face, making him feel itchy.
