Chapter 217: Secret

"Distant relatives!"

Liu Yu muttered these two words in a low voice while looking absentmindedly at the relief of ancestors carved on the wall. The black stone boundary monument here, coupled with Miroku's actions, can basically confirm the reliability of this news.

It must be said that Liu Yu was shocked by Miroku's answer. She didn't expect the final answer to be this. If the Kusanagi clan and the Miko clan are distant relatives, this can barely explain why Miroku wants to take in a clan.

However, this reason alone is far from enough. Just like the Uzumaki Village and Konoha Village were good friends in the past, Konoha even printed the Uzumaki clan's family emblem on Konoha's standard vests, but Konoha did not provide help in the destruction of the Uzumaki Village, and even did not provide help to the Uzumaki clan members who were scattered all over the place.

Although the Kusanagi clan and the Miko clan are distant relatives, there is no contact between the two clans in Liuyu's memory. Even Sister Naizi is not very clear about these things. She should have slowly learned these secrets after contacting Dong Ling.

On the eve of the Kusanagi Village incident, facing the threat of the clan's demise, the clan leaders did not think of going to the Land of Demons, which also shows that the exchanges between the two clans have gradually faded in the long history.

Miroku left some time for Liuyu to digest this shocking news, and after a while he spoke again: "Do you know where the knife on your waist came from?"

"Knife?"

Liuyu subconsciously looked at the Mikazuki Munechika worn on his waist, and said a sentence in confusion.

"This knife is the token of the clan leader passed down from the Kusanagi clan era. It was lost in the Warring States period. Later, it was said that my mother found it through the power of bamboo escape."

Liuyu looked at Miroku and explained, is there any other explanation for the origin of Mikazuki Munechika?

"You are basically right, but there is one thing wrong, that is, this knife was not found by your mother through the power of bamboo escape, but she took it from the shrine in the Land of Demons."

"Took it from the Land of Demons?"

Liu Yu asked back, this is different from what Sister Naizi told her! How could the token of the chieftain, which has been passed down in the era of the Kusanagi clan, end up in the Land of Demons?

Seeing Liu Yu's face full of doubt, Miroku continued to explain:

"After this sword was lost in the Warring States Period, it was found by the Miko Clan by chance, and then it has been enshrined in the shrine of the Land of Demons. Since the Kusanagi Clan has not produced a Bamboo Style Blood Successor for a long time, it is impossible to fully exert the power of this sword. In addition, the relationship between the two clans, so the Kusanagi Clan also tacitly agreed that the Miko Clan would keep the sword."

"This sword has been enshrined in the shrine of the Land of Demons since then, until the arrival of the previous generation of Bamboo Style Blood Successor, that is, your mother. It was also at that time that I met your mother."

""

Liu Yu listened quietly, without interrupting Miroku's speech, and was also very curious why these secrets were not even recorded in the family's secret scrolls.

"Take it out?"

"It?"

Liu Yu was stunned, what does it mean? However, Liu Yu soon noticed that Miroku's eyes were fixed on the Sanriku Munechika on his waist, and he also quickly realized what Miroku was referring to as "it".

"Hmm!"

Liu Yu nodded gently, began to form a seal to summon the white jade pillar, and then used his blood to open the second form of the white jade pillar.

Looking at the keyhole in the middle of the white jade pillar, Liu Yu looked at Miroku again, then firmed his expression, pulled out the Sanriku Munechika from his waist, and inserted it. Then, the white jade pillar shot out a dazzling white light, and the scrolls recording the family secrets floated between the light beams.

Watching the scroll emerge, Miroku's eyes flashed with excitement, and then Miroku pulled out the thin hairpin in his hair and pierced his middle finger.

A drop of blood oozed from the white fingertips, and after the blood oozed out, it seemed to be summoned by some inexplicable thing, and slowly flew towards the scroll in the beam of light.

Seeing this, Liu Yu really believed that the Kusanagi clan and the Miko clan were distant relatives, otherwise, this scroll would not be sensitive to Miroku's blood.

Feeling the blood slowly approaching, the scroll opened automatically, flipped quickly, and turned directly to the part with the word "seal".

Seeing this, Liu Yu couldn't help but get excited. I have always been thinking about how to open the seal of the scroll. Like Miroku, I have tried to open the scroll with blood, but there has been no progress for a long time. The sealing technique recorded in the family can't unlock the seal on this scroll at all.

I didn't expect that I would have the opportunity to unlock the seal today. It turns out that the opening of the scroll requires the blood of the Miko clan as a guide. No wonder I didn't make any progress before.

In Liu Yu's excited sight, Miroku's fingertip blood slowly floated to the word "seal", and soon, Miroku's fingertip blood began to blend into the word "seal". As the blood from Miroku's fingertips merged, the entire seal began to slowly dissipate, and the contents that were originally sealed also slowly appeared.

"It's really unlocked!"

Looking at the seal, Liu Yu's heartbeat accelerated. The ninjutsu recorded in the unsealed contents of this scroll are so powerful, it's hard to imagine what the contents that are sealed in the back are.

"Take a look! Haven't you been thinking about how to open it?"

Looking at Liu Yu's excitement, Miroku couldn't help but chuckle. This child is still as anxious as her mother back then.

"Lord Miroku, don't you want to take a look?"

Liu Yu took down the scroll with excitement and was about to look at the contents of the seal, but then he paused, as if he had thought of something, and turned around and asked softly. After all, the seal of this scroll was opened by Maitreya.

"No, I have already read the contents here. Also, you don't have to call me Lord Maitreya. If you don't mind, you can call me Auntie."

Looking at Liu Yu's anxious look, Maitreya chuckled and refused. She had already read this scroll when Liu Yu's mother came to the Ghost Kingdom.

"Thank you! Aunt Maitreya!"

Liu Yu turned around and saluted Maitreya respectfully. This time it was not purely out of etiquette like before, but from her heart.

Although she was not very clear about the relationship between her mother and Maitreya, Liu Yu could feel that Maitreya's care for her was sincere, and he really took care of her as an old friend. Liu Yu had not felt this kind of warmth from the elders for a long time after her father passed away. Although I still have many questions, this does not prevent me from thanking Maitreya.
