The old man's name is Jiang Liao, and he is the current clan leader of Jiang Village.
The people who attacked them were from the Barbarian Witch Tribe, and it was said that they wanted to seize Jiang Village's territory.
"Since they are a powerful tribe, why do they want to rob the territory of a mere village of yours?" Mu Qing asked puzzled.
"Oh, this matter has to start with the daily fights between gods!"
Jiang Liao sighed and told the reason for this incident.
A few days ago, Mu Qiankun led many masters from Yuanling Continent to fight against enemies from outside. After the battle, a river of blood appeared in the west of Nanzhao Kingdom.
This river of blood filled the sky with a fishy smell. Its appearance killed all the surrounding vegetation and monsters, and even the territory of the Barbarian Witch Tribe was affected.
As the territory became smaller, the income of the Barbarian Witches naturally also decreased, so they began to expand to the surrounding areas. Many small tribes and villages have been destroyed in their hands.
If it were Jiang Village in the past, the Barbarian Witch Department would naturally not dare to act rashly, but now that Jiang Village has declined and there is not even a single dragon-seeking master, they naturally have no scruples.
"So serious!"
"No, even our village has been affected. Our source..."
"Ahem, adults are talking, why are you, a kid, interrupting!"
The fifteen or sixteen-year-old boy next to Jiang Liao was about to interrupt, but Jiang Liao interrupted and glared at him viciously.
The young man immediately lowered his head.
"My benefactor is not from my Nanzhao country, right? Where are you going?"
Although Jiang Liao is old, his eyesight is still there. From the conversation and clothes of Mu Qing and others, it can be seen that they are not from the Wu clan.
"I am an alchemist. I came here this time to participate in the Golden Alchemy Conference in the Holy Land. Unfortunately, there was a problem with the teleportation field and it ended up in your Nanzhao Kingdom!"
Mu Qing helplessly spread his hands.
The matter on the island in the Psychedelic Sea involves the mysterious old man, and Mu Qing does not intend to reveal it.
"Teleportation field?"
Jiang Liang's eyes suddenly lit up and he looked at Mu Qing in shock.
"Senior, this is not the place to talk. Let's go back to Jiang Village first and then talk!" Mu Qing smiled slightly.
Counting from now on, there is still nearly a year until the start of the Golden Elixir Conference, and Nanzhao Kingdom is adjacent to the Holy Land, so Mu Qing is not in a hurry.
He planned to go to Jiang Village first to see if he could help Jiang Liao and others solve some problems, which could also be regarded as repaying Jiang Wuji's kindness.
"I was negligent, my benefactor, please come here!"
Jiang Liao reacted immediately and happily led the way.
Jiangcun is located in a huge valley. Although the population is less than a thousand households, the buildings are stretched as far as the eye can see, which shows how powerful Jiangcun was in its heyday.
Mu Qing stood at the entrance of Jiangcun, looking up at the peaks around the valley. Suddenly, he was shocked. The shape of the valley looked like a dragon!
That night, Mu Qing and the others received warm hospitality from the people of Jiang Village, and Jiang Liao also arranged the most spacious courtyard for them to rest.
"Listen here, you guys, two things. One, you can't touch anything in Jiangcun, and two, you can't tell anyone about the old man in the Psychedelic Sea!"
Mu Qing looked at the big black dog and the others with a serious face.
"Why are you looking at me? Master Gou is the talkative one!"
The big black dog immediately threw his big head aside.
"Dead dog, follow me, you guys stay!"
After Mu Qing finished speaking, he lifted the little fox off his shoulders, then grabbed the big black dog and walked out of the yard, only putting it down at the door.
"Sir, you don't want to return the Xunlong Book to Jiang Cun, do you? Do you know the value of that thing?"
The big black dog looked at Mu Qing with shock on his face. With this kid's peeing ability, it was really possible for him to do such a thing.
"Benefactor!"
At this moment, a graceful figure suddenly walked from the distance.
Mu Qing took a look and found that it was the girl he had rescued during the day.
I didn't pay attention at the time, but now I realize that this girl is so beautiful. Her delicate facial features are inlaid with a pair of shining stars, and she is full of spirituality.
"Hello girl!"
Mu Qing glanced at it, then withdrew his gaze and hugged the woman.
"Grandpa asked me to invite my benefactor to the ancestral hall to talk about it!"
The girl's face was slightly red, she glanced at Mu Qing secretly, and then immediately lowered her head.
"I happen to have something to discuss with the clan leader, so just let the girl lead the way!"
The girl nodded slightly and held a lantern to lead the way.
Since Jiang Liao became the clan leader, he has been living in the clan ancestral hall in the center of Jiang Village. Mu Qing and the others walked for a while before arriving.
"Please, my dear, I won't disturb you, little lady!"
At this time, the girl no longer had the fear she had during the day, nor was she as shy as when she saw Mu Qing before. Instead, she looked at Mu Qing and spoke openly.
"Thank you for your hard work, girl!"
Mu Qing returned the gift, thinking: "This girl is so strange, her mood changes so much before and after!"
But how did he know that the journey from his residence to the clan ancestral hall was a mental journey for the girl.
"My benefactor is here, please come inside!"
Jiang Liao saw Mu Qing arriving and immediately came out of the house to greet him.
"You're welcome, old man!"
"This is……"
Jiang Liao noticed the big black dog following Mu Qing and couldn't help but hesitate.
"Why, you, a younger generation of the Jiang family, still don't like Master Gou?"
The big black dog suddenly became upset and stood up immediately, glaring at Jiang Liao fiercely.
"My benefactor, look, this..."
Jiang Liao didn't know what to do. The clan ancestral hall was a sacred place for the Jiang people. On weekdays, when people came to worship their ancestors, they had to bathe and change clothes first.
If he let the dog in at this time, wouldn't it be disrespectful to his ancestors?
"Don't be impatient, old man. Don't underestimate this vegetable dog. If you knew its identity, you would probably beg it to enter the ancestral hall!"
Mu Qing smiled slightly.
Jiang Liao couldn't help but turn pale when he heard this.
"Little friend, I see you are a sensible person, why do you say such nonsense? The clan ancestral hall is the sacred place of our clan, how can we allow you to defile it like this!" Jiang Liao said angrily.
"Damn dog, I don't care anymore, you can speak for yourself!"
Mu Qing kicked the big black dog. This guy could clearly tell his identity, but he was pretending to be a big clove of garlic.
"You brat, open your eyes and take a good look at what this is!"
The big black dog took something out of the storage ring and threw it to Jiang Liao.
Jiang Liao didn't care at first, but when he saw the big word "ginger" on the token, he was suddenly shocked.
"The token of my distant ancestor of the Jiang family, this bloodline induction is unmistakable. It is the token of my distant ancestor. How could you have it?"
Jiang Liao looked at the big black dog in shock.
The distant ancestors of the Jiang family left Yuanling Continent thousands of years ago. Generally, as long as they do not perish, the Jiang family's tokens will never leave their bodies.
Moreover, given the far-reaching cultivation of the distant ancestor, the only explanation for who could take the token away from him is that he sent the token on his own initiative.
But how could our distant ancestors give the token to a dog?
No, legend has it that there was indeed a black dog following our distant ancestors. Could it be...
Thinking of this, Jiang Liao looked at the big black dog and asked in a trembling voice: "You... are you Lord Dog Ancestor?"
Not only was Mu Qing shocked by this title, but even the big black dog holding a big clove of garlic was stunned for a moment.
But the big black dog is indeed a leader in the cross-dressing industry. With a raised eyebrow, Master Gou Zu’s temperament suddenly explodes.
"Ahem, yes, I am the dog ancestor of your Jiang family!" The big black dog held his head high and said in an extremely shameless manner.
