Chapter 163 Is there a spirit worshipped at home?
Jiang Nanxi said, "Something was added inside."

Lu Jiaqi was shocked. "Add what? This Saba person isn't trying to poison us, is he?!"

"I don't know, but I just think the glutinous rice balls smell a bit strange. They must have some special spices added. This village is a bit odd, so it's better to be cautious."

As soon as Jiang Nanxi finished speaking, Liu Qingyan said, "It should have been henbane added, it smells a bit like it. Hunbane can cause fainting and hallucinations, but I don't know what he wants to do after he drugged us."

Lu Jiaqi couldn't help but click her tongue in amazement, "How can you smell something wrong just by smelling it? That's amazing! I could smell the fragrance of glutinous rice and the aroma of roasted meat."

Jiang Nanxi and Liu Qingyan are both cultivators, and their five senses are much more sensitive than ordinary people, so they can naturally smell it.

The Saba man we just met is named Sangjie. They met Sangjie as soon as they entered the village, and Sangjie readily agreed to let them stay.

But now it seems that his quick agreement was probably for another purpose.

Sanjay's house only had one empty room, 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, and asked Sang Jie for a bamboo mat to lay on the ground, intending to make do with it for the night.

Lu Jiaqi had just laid out the bamboo mat when he suddenly heard the sound of a lock being put on outside the door. He quickly ran to the door.

Through the crack in the door, he saw Sanjay lock their room with a large padlock from the outside!
"I rely on!"

Lu Jiaqi rushed back and said to the others, "Sangjie has locked the door, we can't get out! What does he want to do to us?!"

"Shhh."

Jiang Nanxi gestured for him to be quiet and said, "There are many people outside, so don't speak yet."

Lu Jiaqi quickly quieted down.

Not long after, a conversation could be heard outside.

A deep, cold voice asked, "Sangjie, it's your patrol day. Have any outsiders come to the village?"

Sanjay said, "No."

The voice suddenly turned stern.

“You’re lying! Someone heard screams just now, and the people living on the outermost edge of the village even saw someone running in from the woods. This must be an outsider! We Saba people have a rule that we can’t go out at night, so it’s impossible for our people to be running around in the village.”

Sangjie said coldly, "Chieftain, didn't you bring in outsiders? Maybe they were just wandering around outside at night. Anyway, I didn't see any other outsiders come in."

"impossible."

The clan chief said, "When someone came to tell me, I went to find those outsiders. They were all still sleeping at my house. How could they be running around outside!"
"Sanjay, move aside, I need to go in and take a look. If there are any outsiders here, you must hand them over to me for processing; that's the custom of the Saba people!"

The talking outside stopped for a moment.

Suddenly, someone shouted, "Sanjay, why are you blocking the doorway? Are you hiding people?! Hand them over right now! Do you want your people to die?!"

A commotion came from outside, along with Sanjay shouting "Release! Release! Release!"

Bang.

Jiang Nanxi heard someone push open the outer gate and hear footsteps. It must be the chief of the Saba tribe leading people in to search.

The chieftain's voice came again, "Sanjay, why is this room locked? Open the door."

Sanjay said with a somber tone, "This is my brother's room. He... he's been dead for so long, and I've never opened it because I was afraid of being saddened by what I saw. You don't need to look; there's no one inside."

The clan chief sighed, "Your brother has been gone for so long, why haven't you come to your senses yet? But rules are rules, I still have to take people to see him."

He patted Sanjay on the shoulder and said earnestly, "Sanjay, why don't you understand? If outsiders really come to the Saba tribe, it's a good thing for us. You don't want other tribesmen to end up like your brother, do you?"

Sangjie glared at the chieftain and said, "Chieftain, my family has hired a sorcerer. You'd better take your people and leave!"

"what?!"

The clan chief's expression changed drastically, and his voice was filled with terror, "Why did you bring this kind of thing back again? This thing can't be suppressed, the clan has already said that it's forbidden to bring it! Are you trying to kill everyone?!"

Sanjay said coldly, "Since I'm living in constant fear every day, and might die at any moment, I might as well make a fortune before I die!" "You...!"

The clan chief was so angry that he trembled all over.

Sanjay added, "The spirit of the fallen feet is enshrined in my brother's room. If you really want to see it, then go in and take a look."

"What are we even looking at! You've already invited us into your home, how could we possibly look!"

The clan chief roared.

Not long after, Jiang Nanxi heard the sound of footsteps fading away; the clan leader had left with his people.

She also heard other tribesmen whispering, saying that Sanjay had gone mad, and that they shouldn't have come to Sanjay's house, as they were going to get into big trouble.

Once it was quiet outside, Lu Jiaqi lowered her voice and asked the others, "Did you hear that? It seems the Saba people don't welcome outsiders. Did Sangjie lock the door to prevent us from being discovered?"

"probably."

Jiang Nanxi frowned. "If it's just to prevent us from being discovered, why would you put drugs in our food?"

Jiang Nanxi recalled their conversation and thought of the "foot-reversing immortal" that Sangjie had mentioned.

This thing is the "One-Legged Goro" they encountered; "Upside-Down Leg Immortal" is another name for it.

Is the spirit of the fallen feet enshrined in this room?!

Jiang Nanxi got out of bed and scanned the dark room with her eyes. Her divine sense could see the room clearly.

However, after a careful inspection, she found no shrine, no statues, and no offerings such as incense, candles, or food.

knock knock knock.

There was a knock at the door.

Sangye stood outside the door and whispered to them, "Don't make any noise at night, and don't run out, or you'll be in trouble if someone finds you. Tomorrow there's a clan festival, and everyone will go to the east. Take the opportunity to leave."

Lu Jiaqi stood by the door and whispered back, "I know, brother. Um... could I ask what the meaning is of having a spirit medium worshipped in this room?"

Sanjay replied, "They're lying to them."

"Oh oh oh oh."

Lu Jiaqi was finally relieved.

Sangjie left the room and closed the door. Jiang Nanxi then took out several blankets from her spatial storage and threw them to the three men in the room.

"Let's go to sleep first, we can talk about it tomorrow."

Jiang Nanxi lay down on the bed and fell asleep first, with the rooster nestled at her feet. The others also rested.

Around three or four in the morning.

Everyone was asleep when Jiang Nanxi's rooster suddenly jolted awake, stood up straight, and raised its head.

"Gurgle gurgle gurgle—!"

A loud rooster crowed in the darkness.

The four people in the room were all woken up by the noise, looking completely bewildered. The viewers who accidentally entered the live stream in the middle of the night were also startled.

"?"

Lu Jiaqi suddenly opened his eyes, speechless. "Aotian, it's not even dawn yet, what are you yelling for!"

He had just finished speaking when he suddenly felt a chilly breeze coming from under the bed next to him.

The wind blew a wisp of fine hair across his face, making it tickle.
