Variety shows are crazy but don't cause internal conflict; I'm proud to drive others crazy

Chapter 180 Damn it, I even heard the treasure call me master!
The Psionic Bureau was dealing with the Saba tribe members, and Sanjay was somewhat afraid of them, so he kept his younger brother Sanyu behind him.

Jiang Nanxi originally wanted to go into the Heavenly God Temple to check again, and then she saw this scene.

She thought of how Sang Yu had been offered as a sacrifice to the Temple of the Gods long ago, but everyone else had been turned into human lamps. Why hadn't he been turned into a lamp?
Those who were made into lamps all died, leaving only their souls, because making a lamp not only required cutting off a leg and an arm, but also cutting open a large piece of skull to light it.

But Sang Yu's skull was intact.

Jiang Nanxi stared at the two brothers for a while, then beckoned to Sang Yu, "Xiao Yu, come here for a second."

Sang Yu jumped towards her.

Although the distance was far, Sang Yu was very fast. He jumped twice and became a blur in front of her.

Jiang Nanxi asked him, "Why didn't they turn you into a lamp and make you a little monkey?"

Sang Yu flicked his tail and said, "Xiao Yu... Xiao Yu has a tail, hiss... like a monkey, and also like a Daojiao Xian (a mythical creature). Daojiao Xian is the Wutong God."

Jiang Nanxi asked in surprise, "What is the Five Gods?"

Sang Yu tilted his head, a look of confusion in his eyes. "Xiao Yu... I don't know. They say the Five Gods can transport gold ingots!"

Upon hearing this, Jiang Nanxi began to ponder.

Liu Qingyan also heard this and walked over to say, "The Five-Power God refers to a spirit that knows the Five-Power Technique. Legend has it that the Backstabber Immortal is good at hooking people's souls and is also proficient in the Five-Power Technique. He can command the Five Ghosts to move money, so he is often worshipped by people to pray for wealth."

This Five-Power Technique, also known as the Five Ghosts Transporting Wealth, is not only known to Daojiao Xianhui, but also to some Xuanmen masters who are proficient in incantations. It involves summoning five little ghosts to silently sneak into other people's homes without opening the door and steal their valuables.

However, most Xuan Masters do not easily use the Five Paths Technique, since it is hard to say whether they can control the five little ghosts they summon.

If it backfires, even the Xuan Master will die.

"Little monkey, the inverted foot immortal, the Five-way God..."

Jiang Nanxi felt her mind was a bit confused. "I used to think that Daojiao Xian and Saba Tianshen were both the soul of the Ailao King in disguise, with the purpose of sacrificing living people. But now it seems that things are not so simple."

Liu Qingyan nodded and said, "Back then, King Ailao was the local tyrant. He plundered the people and became incredibly wealthy. It has always been said in the vicinity of Ailao Mountain that before King Ailao was executed by his superiors, he had his henchmen transport a lot of money away and hide it for his descendants."

"Could it be that he stayed in Sangyu to train him into a fortune teller, so that he could retrieve the treasure?"

Jiang Nanxi frowned and said, "I have another question. The Saba tribe is not the place where the King of Ailao died, nor is it the place where he is buried. Why is his soul here?"

Liu Qingyan said, "His soul is sealed, so he shouldn't be here. He should be underground in the chieftain's mansion. The people who released him were probably those who broke into the chieftain's mansion."

As for why he left the chieftain's residence and came to the Saba tribe, well…

At this point, Liu Qingyan paused for a moment and exchanged a glance with Jiang Nanxi.

Suddenly, the two of them ran towards the direction of the Temple of the Gods with remarkable coordination.

"There are so many human lanterns in the Heavenly Temple, and the vengeful spirits of those lanterns are still there, not eaten. This means that King Ailao did not intend to use these offerings to increase his strength. So they must be used for something else!"

Jiang Nanxi spoke quickly, and then she began searching for something in the empty hall. She even took a shovel and scraped off all the floor tiles in the hall.

Liu Qingyan borrowed a shovel from someone from the Spirit Energy Bureau to help her dig, saying, "Actually, after King Ailao died, the Daojiao Immortal was also exorcised. Now that King Ailao's soul has escaped, he himself doesn't know where his treasure is hidden, so he can only obtain information through special means."

There was a click.

Jiang Nanxi's shovel struck a piece of iron in the soil, making a screeching sound.

She quickly shoveled away the clods of earth nearby and then dug out a square iron box from the ground.

The box was also locked with a rusty padlock.

Jiang Nanxi smashed the lock with a single punch, then easily opened the iron box, revealing a beautifully carved wooden shrine inside.

Inside the shrine was a statue, the same one Jiang Nanxi had seen before, depicting a deity resembling a wandering immortal, but with slight differences in details. This statue wasn't made of clay; it looked like it was made of amber, and Jiang Nanxi smelled a faint pine scent unique to amber as soon as she picked it up.

Moreover, there is a cotton thread on the head of the upside-down immortal statue, which looks a bit like a candle wick.

"This is……"

Jiang Nanxi tugged at the cotton thread, confirming that the thing could be ignited through the cotton thread.

"Could this be the lamp that Cheng Qiaozhi is looking for?"

Liu Qingyan looked at the thing in her hand and a look of recollection appeared on his face. Suddenly, he said, "This thing looks so familiar."

Jiang Nanxi asked, "Have you seen it before?"

Liu Qingyan explained, "This seems to be a beeswax lamp made by a sorcerer in the late Qing Dynasty. It contains special ingredients that can control spirits when lit."

Legend has it that the King of Ailao not only monopolized the Tea Horse Road business and plundered the people, but also manipulated the Daojiao Fairy to bring him countless treasures through the Five Gods, making him extremely wealthy and allowing him to enjoy endless riches and honors.

If it weren't for the army's encirclement and suppression, and their execution of him in the Ailao Mountains, his wealth would have made him a prominent figure throughout the country.

Mountain spirits, regardless of their cultivation level, are accustomed to freedom and generally dislike being controlled. It's said that the King of Ailao was able to manipulate the Immortal of the Fallen Foot to help him because of this beeswax lamp.

"I see."

Jiang Nanxi suddenly realized, "No wonder Cheng Qiaozhi said he was looking for a lamp. It seems that what he was looking for was this lamp that can control the 'Foot-Reversing Fairy'."

She stared at the lamp for a moment, then asked Liu Qingyan, "Does the treasure of the King of Ailao really exist?"

"Whether something exists or not, excessive greed is not a good thing; it will only bring disaster."

Jiang Nanxi: "Damn it, I heard the treasure of the King of Ailao calling me master! Damn robbers, I recognized my money at a glance! I have to get it back right away!"

Liu Qingyan:?

Jiang Nanxi stared at Liu Qingyan and said, "Eighteen."

Liu Qingyan chuckled, "What do you take me for? I would never stoop to your level!"

Jiang Nanxi gritted her teeth, "Sanqi!"

Liu Qingyan: "Fifty-five."

Jiang Nanxi: "No, the light is with me!"

Liu Qingyan said with heartache, "I can only accept 40% at most!"

"make a deal!"

Just as the two finished speaking, a head poked in from outside the temple and asked, "When are we leaving?"

This head belongs to Song Shixing.

Jiang Nanxi put away the beeswax lamp and said, "We can set off now. We can leave things here to the Psionic Bureau."

"Let's hurry up and get to the next shelter before dark, otherwise it will be a bit dangerous at night."

"Ah."

The four continued on their journey, followed by the production crew's drone. Jiang Nanxi even used a large amount of snacks to coax Sang Yu into joining them.

The King of Ailao must have a use for this kid; perhaps it's related to the beeswax lamp. She wants to find the King of Ailao's treasure during the challenge, and bringing Sang Yu along might have a miraculous effect.

But not long after they left the Saba village, they encountered a strange man on a hillside.
