Reborn: All beasts recognize their master, dig up the divine bones

"You're right, Old Man He. After all, people's minds are fickle, but there will still be some people who hold on to their original intentions." Old Man Jiang L also comforted.

At this time, the shopkeeper kept looking in the direction of Nangong Xi and the others.

Nangong Xi and the others had already noticed the little glances that the shopkeeper would glance at them from time to time.

"Grandpa He, do you know the shopkeeper?" Nangong Xi looked at Old Man He and asked.

"I don't know him." Old Man He shook his head.

I have been away from here for more than a hundred years. Except for those old guys who have been practicing in seclusion, no one should recognize me.

"Then why is he always looking at us?" Nangong Man asked with curiosity.

"No ordinary people can come to He Longcheng. Maybe that's why he is more curious." Old Man He said with a smile.

Nangong Xi: ...

Is that right?

But the shopkeeper's eyes were filled with eagerness in his doubt, expectation in his eagerness, and excitement in his expectation.

It’s very complicated anyway!

Not long after, the last dish ordered by Nangong Xi and his friends arrived, and this time it was served by the shopkeeper himself.

He walked to Nangong Xi and the others' table, and just as he put the dishes on the table and was about to say something, an attack suddenly came towards him.

"Be careful." Nangong Xi pushed him away.

The attack landed directly on the opposite wall, creating a big hole in it.

The attack just now was aimed at the shopkeeper's heart.

If Nangong Xi hadn't been quick enough to push him away, he would have fallen to the ground and died!

"Thank you, young lady, for saving my life." The frightened shopkeeper bowed to Nangong Xi.

Nangong Xi discovered that there was a bright spot in the pattern on his palm!

It seems that the shopkeeper's thanks are sincere.

"Not good." The shopkeeper suddenly exclaimed, and saw countless attacks coming from all directions.

Upon seeing this, Nangong Xi immediately cast a protective talisman array to protect the inn, successfully blocking the attacks from all directions.

"Huh..." The shopkeeper was so frightened that he collapsed to the ground.

"Boss, it seems we have been discovered again." Several inn waiters gathered around with anxious faces.

"Boss, what's going on?" Nangong Xi looked at the shopkeeper and asked.

"In fact, we are the original inhabitants of Helong Mountain." The shopkeeper had no choice but to tell the truth at this point.

"Primitive inhabitants?" Old Man He was shocked when he heard this.

"Yes, those you see outside, including those guarding the city, are actually water people." The shopkeeper nodded.

"Water people?" Nangong Xi and the others were even more confused.

"The Shui people can change their appearance at will. At the beginning, they killed the indigenous people of Helong City little by little and changed into their appearance. No one noticed at all. Later, as more and more Shui people came into the city, they started to act unscrupulously." The shopkeeper continued.

"What happens next?" Nangong Xi looked at him.

“After that, they simply stopped pretending and revealed their true colors, wantonly slaughtering the indigenous people in Helong City, attempting to replace the indigenous people in Helong City…” The shopkeeper’s eyes were filled with anger.

"So, now Helong City has been completely occupied by the people of the water tribe?" After saying this, Old Man He looked at the shopkeeper.

"That's right. Later, in order to avoid their hunting, we indigenous people had to gather together and hide. A few of us found a way to disguise ourselves as water people and hid in Helong City to keep an eye on the water people. We didn't expect that we would be discovered in the end." The shopkeeper's face was full of sorrow.

"You are telling us all this, aren't you afraid that we are also aquatic creatures?" Nangong Xi looked at the shopkeeper curiously.

"You definitely can't be from the water tribe, because water tribe never eats chicken and even hates it." The shopkeeper said, pointing to a plate of roast chicken on Nangong Xi's table.

This plate of roast chicken was not originally on the menu. The shopkeeper said it was a gift for Nangong Xi and the others.

I didn't expect it to be a test.

"Also, I think he looks very much like our clan leader He Longshan who went out traveling a hundred years ago and never came back." After the shopkeeper said this, he looked at old man He.

"You recognize me?" Old Man He was very surprised when he heard that.

"I have seen your portrait before. Are you really the patriarch?" The shopkeeper was so excited that his whole body was shaking when he heard this.

"Yes, I am He Que." Old man He nodded in acknowledgement.

"Chief, please save our people. They are being forced to live unhappily by the water people." Upon hearing this, the shopkeeper began to wipe away his tears.

"Don't worry, now that I'm back, I will solve the problem for you." Old Man He helped the shopkeeper up.

"Chief, my name is He Gong." The shopkeeper introduced himself.

"He Gong, where are all the tribesmen hiding?" Old man He looked at He Gong and asked.

"I'll take you there." He Gong said and took out a teleportation jade pendant.

Nangong Xi: ...

No wonder He Longshan’s people were bullied so badly by the water tribe.

At first glance, he is a kind, simple and trusting old man.

I guess all the indigenous people look like this.

The shopkeeper He Gong smashed the jade pendant in his hand, and everyone disappeared in the inn.

When Nangong Xi and the others came to their senses, they were already in a place with beautiful mountains and rivers.

There were several pairs of eyes staring at them curiously.

"Chief, Chief, you're back." Before Nangong Xi and the others could come to their senses, an old man, leaning on a cane, walked towards them tremblingly.

"Are you... Xiaodouzi?" Old Man He looked at the old man carefully for a while before recognizing the other person's identity.

"It's me, it's me, clan leader, I am Xiaodouzi." The old man's eyes immediately filled with tears when he heard this.

"When I left, you were still a little kid with short legs. I didn't expect that when I saw you again, you had become an old man." Old Man He sighed.

"After all, more than a hundred years have passed. I have grown up and grown old. I have changed so much. It's rare that the clan leader can still recognize me." The old man He Dou sighed.

"Actually, you haven't changed much." Old Man He looked at He Dou and said.

"No change? Really no change?" He Dou muttered as he touched his wrinkled face.

"When I saw you before, you were stumbling and walking unsteadily. When I see you again now, you are still stumbling and walking unsteadily. At least in this aspect, you haven't changed." Old Man He said very seriously.

Nangong Xi: ...

This old man He is really good at insulting people!

He Dou: ...

Patriarch, you still like to tease me.

It seems that it’s not me who hasn’t grown bigger, it’s you!

"Chief, we have been badly bullied by the water tribe." He Dou said and wiped away his tears again.

Seeing this, others also wiped away their tears...

This scene is really heartbreaking!

"Don't worry, everyone. Now that I'm back, I won't let the people of the water tribe continue to be so arrogant." Old Man He assured everyone.

"Chief, who are these people?" He Dou looked at Nangong Xi and the others and asked.

"Don't worry, we are all with Grandpa He. We are not bad people." Nangong Xi looked at He Dou and said.
