After a night of silence, we continued deep into the forest the next day and found a bunch of herbs before noon. But just as everyone was burying their heads to pick them, a figure appeared at the top of a very tall tree.
Liu Qingshan's Qi Detection was always outside, so he discovered the person as soon as he appeared, but he did not act rashly because the person's true state was also felt by him at the same time.
The ninth level of the acquired world is still a little inferior to Fan Shengyang, which means that person is not yet at the state of acquired perfection, which makes Liu Qingshan feel relieved at once.
But he didn't want to chase him out immediately. He wouldn't leave his own people alone until he got other people who might be lurking.
The man on the tree stayed there waiting for something. It was not until he finally couldn't hold it in any longer and approached again that Fan Shengyang became aware of the man's presence.
But he looked at Liu Qingshan, and after being stopped by his eyes, he felt relieved. Since his master had already discovered it, it was naturally not his turn to come forward.
The moment he decided to talk, Liu Qingshan suddenly had an idea and opened his mouth to speak in Chinese: "Since you're here, let's come down and talk. Isn't it cold standing in the tree?"
Sure enough, the man understood what he said, and seemed to hesitate for a moment before leaping down.
And when he landed on the ground, the man's gesture was also that of a Chinese martial artist: "It turns out that your Excellency is also a Chinese. Let me tell you, how can a cultivator who is higher than me be a barbarian like a foreigner?" own!"
Liu Qingshan also responded with cupped hands and fists: "I don't know what you call me, senior!"
He was willing to call him senior, but the other person was already very old, and looked to be over fifty years old.
"Mi Yuze, you are from this island. Are you Mr. Liu Qingshan Liu? You have indeed advanced to the innate level!"
When the man opened his mouth, Liu Qingshan was surprised: "Senior, you actually know about me? It seems that I often sneak out to enjoy that colorful world!"
Mi Yuze never put down his hand: "I don't dare to bear the title of Mr. Liu. The most accomplished people in my generation are the first, so I should call you senior!"
Liu Qingshan shook his head and smiled: "Then let's talk about it as equals. Brother Mi is the person behind the Maji tribe?"
"Don't you dare, I'll call you Master Uncle. I can't be arrogant in front of an innately powerful person! Master Liu, is Ma Ji this little girl? But I am not the person behind the Miza family, at most I can be regarded as a guardian!"
"Oh? How do you say this?"
Mi Yuze did not answer immediately, but flashed his eyes towards Ma Ji.
Liu Qingshan said happily: "She can only understand the dialect and cold language of the tribe. She can't understand Chinese, just say it!"
Mi Yuze then said: "The people in that village are an alien tribe with a long history. My ancestors were sent to protect them for nearly a thousand years!"
Since the other party has not yet planned to tell the details, Liu Qingshan will naturally not sell Maji, and can only continue to pretend not to know: "I came to Guidao just to find some herbs. I don't mind telling you what secrets your family has. I found them today." Some of them are going back soon, so please forgive me for disturbing your Qingxiu!"
His excessive politeness obviously won the other party's favor, "Uncle Liu is joking, this island is not mine, and it doesn't even belong to the Miza family! But I know that you are the leader in the Chinese cultivation world today, and Always have a patriotic heart!"
"As expected, you stay outside a lot, and you actually know a lot about me. Okay, stop beating around the bush, do you have anything to say?"
"This is Moji, right? I think she must have told Uncle Master something about the Miza family? Don't worry, I'm not one of those stubborn old men in that village, and I won't spread her story to the village. Get in!"
Liu Qingshan did not answer immediately. He glanced at Ma Ji, who was already shrinking into a ball, and then said: "Yes, she said a little bit, but it was only from the Alanda Buri Temple. The ancestor was the Supreme Mitra, and the remaining I don’t even know what happened!”
Mi Yuze smiled and said: "I believe this, otherwise she wouldn't just tell you this! In fact, her ancestor is not the Supreme Mitra, but just a disciple! On the day of Alanda Bu When the temple encountered a strong enemy, Miza's family fled all the way here, and they later took this surname."
"Brother Mi, what is the purpose of telling me this?"
"There is no intention. Master Liu, please believe me, or I will ask you to go to my parents in the back mountain. They can tell you more!"
"Oh? Are your parents still there? Sorry, I didn't mean anything else, I just wanted to express my surprise."
"Uncle Liu, there is no need to explain. I understand your psychological reaction. How about we go to the back mountain right now?"
"Let's visit the two old people later. We also need to collect the herbs here."
"It's just dry grass. My parents have a lot of them! By the way, my ancestor was an ancient Chinese medicine practitioner, and my family has inherited Chinese medicine. We have stock of all the herbs on the island!"
Liu Qingshan was not moved by this, and just let Fan Shengyang and the others collect the medicine. Then he followed the man through several mountain streams and dense forests, and came to an underground natural cave that extended downward.
The entrance to the cave is at the bottom of a cliff, surrounded by mountains on three sides, facing the primeval forest, or in other words, it is in the deepest part of the forest. It is really difficult to find it without knowing the specific location.
He left Fan Shengyang and others outside, not out of caution, but out of courtesy.
His Qi detection had already made it clear what was going on inside. They were nothing more than two old men in the acquired realm. Apart from that, there were no other traces of human beings.
The male realm among the old men is the eighth level after tomorrow, while the female realm is only the fifth level. There are also several caves full of herbs, except for some daily necessities, and nothing else.
However, beyond the few spaces in the front cave, there is another cave deeper in the cave. It is a larger stalactite cave, and water drops dripping from it seem to last forever.
The old man smiled when he saw Liu Qingshan: "I heard from Ozawa that a master came to the island, and it turned out to be the legendary Mr. Liu!"
Liu Qingshan was not very surprised. His name could easily be seen outside now. It was not surprising that the old man had heard his son's previous guess.
"Greetings to the old man! I didn't expect that there are still Chinese people in the depths of this desert island that outsiders think is there!"
"Haha, Mr. Liu doesn't need to flatter us. Our old couple and the generations above are hiding on this island. We have heavy responsibilities and dare not disobey!"
"So, what Brother Mi said about protecting the Miza family is true?"
"That's still false. If Mr. Liu was not Chinese, we would continue to keep this secret. But Ozawa has known you beforehand, so we don't intend to hide anything from Mr. Liu! Are we going to talk about it next? Have we talked about our past experiences?”
Liu Qingshan waved his hands repeatedly, "My unspoken desire to understand this aspect is still with you, and I may not really be able to help you with anything!"
The old man laughed: "First of all, let me introduce myself. My name is Mi Dongshan, and my wife's name is An Minxiu. Yes, Mr. Liu, no need to doubt, she is from the Han country, and her ancestral family is Anjia, one of the four major families now!"
This was the first time Liu Qingshan was shocked: "Didn't the old man just say that people have been hiding on this island for generations and never left?"
"The Mi family hasn't gone out, so they have to look for a wife outside. Why don't they have to go to that village to find a wife? That way their identity will be exposed!"
Mi Yuze saw that Liu Qingshan didn't seem to like going around like this, so he quickly explained: "I like to talk around a lot, let me explain..."
It turns out that the Mi family did not stay away from the island all their lives. On the contrary, after the younger generations were raised, they would leave to enjoy happiness in modern society, leaving only the younger generation to stay on the island and continue their responsibilities.
But Mi Dongshan's generation was a member of modern society when they were young, but when they got old, they took the initiative to return to the island. This allowed Mi Yuze and the next generation to live in the outside world for a longer period of time.
In other words, when the people of the previous generations were teenagers, they were always from the outside world, and only when they got old would people be sent to the island.
It is true that the Mi family are Chinese, but they have lived in the Han Dynasty. Of course, they also adopted the surname Jiang from the Han country. However, in their view, this behavior is not disrespectful to their ancestors, because the Mi family originally It was the ancestral surname of the Chu nobles during the Zhou Dynasty.
The Chu State is a branch of the Yandi Jiang surname. Their ancestors lived as nomads. Mi is the common surname of the Chu royal family, and their descendants all have Mi as their surname.
At this time, in order to adapt to the local customs and habits of the cold country, changing the surname to Jiang was just a return to the ancestral surname.
However, although the Mi family has a descendant of the Jiang surname in the Han Kingdom, very few people know that their ancestors have other identities. Only the core direct descendants know the relationship between their ancestors and this island.
Therefore, people who can come to this island can not only restore the Mi family name, but also accept the martial arts inheritance of the next generation of the Mi family. However, people with the Jiang surname may not necessarily have the qualifications to inherit the martial arts inheritance.
Therefore, most of the Jiang family currently living in the outside world are ordinary people with no cultivation. Not even the core direct descendants of the Jiang family understand this huge secret.
In other words, the understanding is that as long as there are practitioners in the Jiang family, they will be one of the few insiders, because in order to continue the island's guardianship mission, the martial arts inheritance cannot be left only to someone in the next generation. A person, after all, no one can guarantee whether the only successor will die halfway due to various unexpected circumstances.
This is the case for Mi Yuze. He still has two younger brothers left outside. Although they are physically capable, they cannot regain the Mi surname and cannot get more martial arts inheritance.
But he stayed alone on the island for less than two years. Mi Dongshan and An Minxiu, who returned to the outside world, returned, saying that they could not adapt to the outside world and stayed on the island.
The Jiang family is actually a big family in the Han Kingdom. There is a Jiang family medical clinic and even a chain store across the country. However, as a young man, he inherited the martial arts heritage and married An Minxiu before coming to the island. We came back together once.
