"hehe."
Hearing Xiao Chen's words, the old man waved his hand.
"Actually, it's a mission, and it's also a reason for me to escape from reality... There's nothing I can't say."
Seeing what he said, Xiao Chen pretended to be listening attentively.
He was really curious, what kind of mission was it that allowed an old Chinese doctor with great medical skills to run from China to this place where no shit!
Based on the conversation just now, he can conclude that this old man is an old friend of Yao Qihuang in Huaxia, and has a high status in the Chinese medicine field!
If he stays in Huaxia, not to mention Yao Qihuang, he is related to those in the imperial court, at least he is also a guest of countless dignitaries!
And what about Naga?
I don't recognize Chinese medicine, and I stay in such a dilapidated Chinese pharmacy all day, and there may not even be a patient in a day.
Compared with his situation in Huaxia, this is a place where birds don't shit!
"I'm here because of Gata Island."
The old man looked at Xiao Chen and said slowly.
"Gata Island?"
Xiao Chen was taken aback for a moment, then his eyes widened.
He didn't expect that the old man would have something to do with Gata Island.
Moreover, the word 'mission' was used.
"Well, if a lot of people come to Naga, they will all come for Gata Island...and Gata Island has another name, Devil Island."
When the old man said this, he suddenly thought of something.
"Xiao Xiaoyou, you came to Naga...couldn't you also come to Gata Island?"
"Well, yes."
After Xiao Chen hesitated for a while, he nodded and admitted.
Although he can deny it, he had a good chat with the old man, and lying or something is not very good.
So, he admitted.
Hearing Xiao Chen's words, the old man looked at him, but he wasn't too surprised.
Recently, too many people have come to Naga. Although he stays in this small pharmacy, it doesn't mean he doesn't know the situation outside.
"Hehe, Xiaoyou is in Huaxia, 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, speaking very slowly.
"On Gata Island, there is indeed a great opportunity, waiting for someone who is destined..."
"Huh? Waiting for someone who is destined?"
Xiao Chen was stunned, what does this mean?
"Old man, what is your mission? Tell us about it."
Bai Ye was a little anxious and asked.
"Guard Gata Island."
"Guard Gata Island?"
Xiao Chen and Bai Ye stared at each other.
"Yes, the thing is like this... More than ten years ago, I went back to my ancestral home and found my grandfather's grandfather in the ancestral hall... Well, anyway, it is 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 the things on Gata Island... But my father, grandfather and others have not found the information left by the ancestors, so I don't know about it... If it wasn't for me If I look for something in the ancestral hall, I won't find it either!"
Xiao Chen and Bai Ye did not speak, but listened quietly.
Xiao Chen, in particular, was faintly excited. He felt that he could learn something from the 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 a practitioner of ancient martial arts?
"Well, it's good to know that the ancient martial arts world is a special existence compared to the secular world...Our Xia family used to belong to the ancient martial arts world. Later, various inheritances were broken, and our reputation gradually faded away! When it came to my grandfather's generation , has almost faded out of the ancient martial arts world! Except that after hearing a few words from my grandfather when I was young, I have no impression of the ancient martial arts world, and I have no idea! If I didn’t discover the information left by my ancestors, I would have forgotten this stubble."
The old man said slowly.
"My Xia family used to rely on two things to gain a foothold in the ancient martial arts world. One is formations, and the other is medical skills! However, after the war and the impact of that era, many precious inheritances have disappeared... especially the formations. Now I don’t understand anything except for a few common formations! As for medical skills, it’s not my old man’s bragging. In the field of Chinese medicine in China, the medical skills are no more than a pair of hands away! But even so, my Xia family’s Most of the inheritance of medical skills has been lost!"
When the old man said this, there was a bit of fanaticism in his eyes.
"If the inheritance of medical skills has not been lost so much, then my medical skills are definitely much better than 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 accidents... Once they lose their inheritance, most of them will only perish!
It's pretty good for someone like the Xia family to retire from the ancient martial arts world.
"It was only after I saw the information left by my ancestors that I learned about the mission of the Xia family and the existence of Gata Island... Most importantly, the ancestor said that he also put part of the medical skills and formation inheritance in the Gata Island! So, here I come!"
The old man was in high spirits, but when he thought of something, he smiled wryly 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 have not gained anything."
"So, the things on Gata Island belong to your family?"
Bai Ye looked at Xiao Chen and asked a question.
"no."
The old man shook his head.
"My ancestor, I once did it for a senior great power... Well, follow me! The things on Gata Island are related to that senior great power. What exactly is it? The information left by my ancestors does not have any information. Said, just said, leave it to the predestined ones... and my Xia family is just protecting it, that senior has no descendants."
"Oh, it's equivalent to a housekeeper?"
Bai Ye nodded, somewhat understanding.
"Well, that's right. It's just that this 'mission' was cut off later. My grandfather and the others probably didn't know about it until I saw the message left by our ancestors."
The old man nodded and said.
"Then why don't you ask your grandfather..."
Bai Ye didn't even think about it, and asked, but before he finished speaking, he came to his senses.
This old man looks to be over seventy years old, and the grass on his grandfather's grave is probably old, so how can he ask.
"My grandpa died when I was a teenager, how can I ask."
The old man smiled wryly.
"Uh, I forgot about this, old man, you can continue."
Bai Ye laughed.
"Old man, so to speak, you don't know what's on Gata Island. You only know that your ancestor helped that senior to guard it, and then he put part of the inheritance of the Xia family on Gata Island?"
Xiao Chen asked.
"right."
The old man nodded.
"However, I have already given up on the things inherited from my Xia family... Now I am staying here because of the so-called mission! I hope that someone can get the things on Gata Island. If that is the case, I will leave here , back to Huaxia... Although I have only been here for more than ten years, I am tired, really tired."
At the end of the old man's speech, he showed a little tiredness.
"Originally, I thought that I could get the inheritance of the Xia family's medical skills, make my own medical skills more powerful, and then revitalize Chinese medicine... I didn't expect that more than ten years have passed, and I am here to eat and die."
"Old man, you can return to Huaxia soon."
Bai Ye looked at the old man and said.
"Huh? Why?"
The old man was taken aback.
"Didn't that ancestor of yours say that that senior is capable of waiting for someone with a destiny? The person with a destiny is far away in the sky, but close in front of you!"
Bai Ye said loudly.
Hearing Bai Ye's words, the old man was stunned, then looked Bai Ye up and down: "Are you destined?"
"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, is he destined?
"Hey, old man, it may not necessarily be me."
Xiao Chen was a little embarrassed, Xiao Bai was talking nonsense.
"I'm just here to try my luck, and I have other things to do."
"Ok."
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 the grand prize!
As for the predestined person... He himself doesn't know if there is such a predestined person, or whether he can wait until he lives.
Sometimes he even wondered, as if he didn't know anything, and returned to Huaxia, what was he doing here.
But for some reason, he persisted day after day, year after year.
"Hehe, I also hope that the destined person is you."
After thinking about it 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 Huaxia."
"Mr., if it's really me, the inheritance of the Xia family, I will 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 became wider: "Haha, okay, then I hope it's you."
"Old man, how much do you know about Gata Island? Or, your ancestor didn't say much? For example, leave some hints, clues or something?"
Bai Ye looked at the old man and asked.
"No."
The old man shook his head.
"There is very little information left by the ancestors, just a brief statement, warning the descendants of the Xia family, must 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."
"Ok."
Bai Ye was a little disappointed.
Xiao Chen didn't feel anything, it was a coincidence to meet this old man today, and he also got to know him better.
As for other things, it doesn't matter whether the old man really doesn't know or pretends not to know.
Even if people really knew, why should they tell him.
His mentality is still good.
"Sorry, I can't help you too much."
The old man looked at Xiao Chen and said.
"Hehe, nothing."
Xiao Chen shook his head.
"If we can't get it, then it means we are not predestined."
"Well, since that senior waits for someone with predestined relationship, there must be a reason... If you are really someone with predestined relationship, you will definitely get it."
The old man nodded.
"I'm also very curious about what that senior left behind on Gata Island."
