Hearing Xiao Chen's words, the old man waved his hand.
"Actually, it's my mission, and it's also a reason for me to escape reality...There's nothing I can't say."
When Xiao Chen saw what he said, he acted like he was listening attentively.
He was really curious as to what kind of mission could make an old Chinese doctor with great medical skills come from China to this inhospitable place!
Based on the conversation just now, he can conclude that this old man is an old friend of Yao Qihuang in China and has a very high status in the Chinese medicine community!
If he stayed in China, not to mention being like Yao Qihuang, he would be related to several people in the imperial court, and at least he would be the guest of countless dignitaries!
And what about Naga?
If you don’t recognize Chinese medicine, you may not even have a single patient a day if you stay in such a dilapidated Chinese medicine pharmacy all day long.
Compared to his situation in China, this is a place where nothing matters!
"I came here because of Gata Island."
The old man looked at Xiao Chen and said slowly.
"Gata Island?"
Xiao Chen was stunned for a moment, then his eyes widened.
He didn't expect that the old man would actually have something to do with Gata Island.
Moreover, the word ‘mission’ is also used.
"Well, if there are many people coming from Naga, they are all coming to Gata Island...and Gata Island has another name, Devil's Island."
When the old man said this, he suddenly thought of something.
"Little friend Xiao, you came to Naga...are you also coming to Gata Island?"
"Well, yes."
After Xiao Chen hesitated for a moment, he nodded and admitted.
Although he didn't have to admit it, it was a good conversation with the old man, but lying or something like that was not a good thing.
So, he admitted it.
After hearing Xiao Chen's words, the old man looked at him, but he was not too surprised.
Recently, too many people have come to Naga. Although he stays in this small pharmacy, it doesn't mean that he doesn't know what's going on outside.
"Haha, Xiaoyou Xiao is in China, how can he know about Gata Island?"
The old man asked with a smile.
"Someone told me that there is a big opportunity here, so I came here to try my luck."
Xiao Chen looked at the old man and said.
"Big opportunity?"
The old man was startled, then nodded and spoke slowly.
"There is indeed a great opportunity on Gata Island, waiting for the destined person..."
"Huh? Waiting for the right person?"
Xiao Chen was stunned, what did this mean?
"Old sir, what is your mission? Tell us about it."
Bai Ye asked a little impatiently.
"Guard Gata Island."
"Protect Gata Island?"
Xiao Chen and Bai Ye looked at each other intently.
"Yes, the thing is like this... More than ten years ago, I returned to my ancestral home in my hometown and found my grandfather's grandfather in the ancestral temple... Well, anyway, it was a letter left by an ancestor."
The old man looked at the two of them and began to talk.
"It turns out that our Xia family has a mission to protect things on Gata Island... However, my father, grandfather and others have not discovered the information left by our ancestors, so they don't know about it... If I hadn't been there...
If you look for something in the ancestral temple, I won’t find it!”
Xiao Chen and Bai Ye didn't speak, and listened quietly.
Xiao Chen, in particular, was slightly excited. He felt that he could learn something from this old man's mouth.
"Do you know the ancient martial arts world?"
Suddenly, the old man looked at Xiao Chen and asked.
"Know."
Xiao Chen nodded, is this old man still an ancient martial arts practitioner?
"Well, it's good to know that the ancient martial arts world is a special existence compared to the secular world... We, the Xia family, used to be in the ancient martial arts world. Later, various inheritances were discontinued, and our reputation gradually faded! When we arrived at my grandfather's generation
, has almost faded out of the ancient martial arts world! Except for hearing a few words from my grandfather when I was a child, I have no impression or idea of the ancient martial arts world! If I hadn’t discovered the information left by my ancestors, I would have forgotten this.
It’s gone.”
The old man said slowly.
"My Xia family used to rely on two things in the ancient martial arts world, one was formations, and the other was medical skills! However, after the war and the impact of that era, many precious inheritances were lost...especially formations. Nowadays,
Except for a few ordinary formations, I don’t know anything else! As for medical skills, I am not boasting about it. In the Chinese medicine community, the number of people who are better than me in medical skills is no more than a pair of hands! But even so, my Xia family’s
Most of the inheritance of medical skills has also been lost!"
The old man said this with a bit of fanaticism in his eyes.
"If the inheritance of medical skills hadn't been lost so much, then my medical skills would definitely be much more powerful than they are now! Unfortunately, most of them are gone, alas!"
Xiao Chen nodded. Many famous families in the ancient martial arts world have lost their inheritance due to various changes... Once their inheritance is lost, most of them will only die!
For people like the Xia family who have retired from the ancient martial arts world, it is already considered a good thing.
"After I saw the information left by my ancestors, I learned about the Xia family's mission and the existence of Gata Island... The most important thing is that the ancestors said that he also put part of the medical skills and formation inheritance on
On Gata Island! So, I’m here!”
The old man was in high spirits, but when he thought of something, he smiled bitterly again.
"However, this is also my wishful thinking. I want to get back the inheritance of my Xia family, but I have been here for so many years and I have been to Gata Island hundreds of times, but I haven't gotten anything."
"So, the things on Gata Island belong to your family?"
Bai Ye looked at Xiao Chen and asked.
"no."
The old man shook his head.
"My ancestor once worked for a senior master... Well, just follow him! The things on Gata Island are related to that senior master. What are they specifically? There is no information left by my ancestor.
I just said that I would leave it to someone who is destined to be with me...and I, the Xia family, are just protecting it on my behalf, and that powerful senior has no descendants."
"Oh, it's like a housekeeper?"
Bai Ye nodded, somewhat understanding.
"Well, that's right, but this 'mission' ended later. My grandfather and the others probably didn't know about it until I saw the information left by my ancestors."
The old man nodded and said.
"Then why don't you ask your father..."
Bai Ye didn't think twice and asked, but before he finished speaking, he came to his senses.
This old man looks to be in his seventies, and the grass on his grandfather's grave is probably too old, so why ask?
"My grandfather passed away when I was a teenager. How can I ask?"
The old man smiled bitterly.
"Well, I forgot about this, old sir, please continue."
The white night laughs.
"Old sir, so you don't know what is on Gata Island. You only know that your ancestor helped that senior guard it, and then he also put part of the Xia family's inheritance on Gata Island?"
Xiao Chen asked.
"right."
The old man nodded.
"But I have given up on the things inherited by my Xia family... I am staying here now for the so-called mission! I do hope that someone can get the things on Gata Island. In that case, I will leave here
, returned to China...even though I have only been here for more than ten years, I am still tired, really tired."
At the end of the sentence, the old man looked a little tired.
"Originally, I thought that I could inherit the medical skills of the Xia family, make my medical skills even more powerful, and then revitalize traditional Chinese medicine... I didn't expect that more than ten years have passed, and I'm just eating here and waiting to die."
"Old sir, you can return to China soon."
Bai Ye looked at the old man and said.
"Huh? Why?"
The old man was startled.
"Didn't your ancestor say that the powerful senior waits for the destined one? The destined one is far away in the horizon, but right in front of you!"
Bai Ye said loudly.
Hearing Bai Ye's words, the old man was stunned, and then looked at Bai Ye up and down: "Are you destined to be a person?"
"Well, of course I'm not, he is."
Bai Ye pointed at Xiao Chen and said.
"Little friend Xiao?"
The old man looked at Xiao Chen, was he a destined person?
"Ahem, old sir, it doesn't have to be me."
Xiao Chen was a little embarrassed, what was Xiaobai talking about?
"I'm just here to try my luck, I have other things to do."
"Um."
The old man nodded, he could understand this feeling.
Just like buying a lottery ticket, everyone wants to win the jackpot.
But what?
There are still very few people who win big prizes!
As for the destined person...he himself doesn't know if there is such a destined person, or whether he can still wait until he is alive.
Sometimes he even thinks, just pretend he doesn't know anything and return to China. What is he doing here?
But I don’t know why, but he persisted day after day, year after year.
"Haha, I also hope that the destined person is you."
After changing his thoughts one by one, the old man looked at Xiao Chen and said with a smile.
"If it's really you, then I can go back to China."
"Old sir, if it were really me, the inheritance of the Xia family, I would hand it over to you."
Xiao Chen looked at the old man and said seriously.
Hearing Xiao Chen's words, the old man's heart moved and his smile grew wider: "Haha, okay, then I hope it's you."
"Old sir, how much do you know about Gata Island? Or, your ancestor didn't say much? For example, left some hints, clues or something?"
Bai Ye looked at the old man and asked.
"No."
The old man shook his head.
"The ancestors left very little information. They just briefly told the descendants of the Xia family to protect Gata Island... Oh, he mentioned that Gata Island is covered by a large formation, so you want to get the information inside.
Things are not easy."
"All right."
Bai Ye was a little disappointed.
Xiao Chen didn't feel anything. It was a coincidence to meet this old man today, and he got to know him better.
As for the rest, it doesn't matter whether the old man really doesn't know or pretends not to know.
Even if he really knew, why would he tell him?
His mentality is still good.
"Sorry, I can't help you much."
The old man looked at Xiao Chen and said.
"Haha, it's nothing."
Xiao Chen shook his head.
"If we can't get it, it means we're not destined to be together."
"Well, since the senior master wants to wait for the destined person, he must have his reason... If you are really destined for the destined person, you will definitely get it."
The old man nodded.
"I'm also very curious about what the senior master left behind on Gata Island."
