Seeing that I was a little embarrassed by the Miao girl next to me, the man leading the way in front turned around and smiled at him and said, "Xiaoyu, it's rude to look at the guests like that, come to my side." ＝≈..”

The girl named Xiaoyu smiled and said, "The three of them are so strange, two are dying, and one is already dead!" ”

Hearing Xiaoyu say this, the three of us were startled.

What is the origin of this Xiaoyu, Mai Xiaorou has Xu Gaoren's talisman on her body, Grandpa Mai said that it is difficult for ordinary masters to see Mai Xiaorou's identity, but that Xiaoyu said nothing.

In addition, she even saw that Grandpa Mai and I were dying.

Why are all the women I've met so rebellious lately!?

The man smiled at Xiaoyu and said, "Okay, stop talking nonsense, I could only call you by a pseudonym, no matter how much you say that your identity is exposed, don't blame my father for cleaning you up." ”

Isn't Xiaoyu the girl's real name?

The two of them led the three of us to a bamboo building, from beginning to end the man did not introduce his name, the woman's name, we heard him call, but it was only a pseudonym, so I suddenly felt that the people in this village were a little dishonest.

Along the way, we also met some Miao people, and when they saw this man and woman, they all saluted respectfully, so it was inferred that these two people should have a high status in Miao Village.

When he arrived at the bottom of the bamboo tower, the man shouted to the bamboo tower: "Father, Senior Mai and his friends have come to look for you. ”

Father, is this teenager the son of Xu Gaoren?

Grandpa Mai was also stunned for a moment and said, "You are the son of Xu Gaoren, why didn't I hear you say it when I came last time?" ”

The young man smiled and said, "You didn't ask, and I don't often live in Miao Village, I happened to come back to visit relatives last time and this time, and these two times I was able to meet Senior Mai, which can be regarded as the fate between us." ”

Grandpa Mai nodded, then respectfully asked his name.

The young man smiled and said, "My name is Xu Rui." ”

Soon, a person came out of the bamboo building, that person looked very young, as if he was not a few years older than Xu Rui, his appearance was somewhat similar to Xu Rui, but his eyes were much deeper than Xu Rui, and that kind of profundity can only be possessed by deep experience.

I immediately understood, that person was Xu Gaoren.

I began to think that he was a bad old man like Grandpa Mai, but I didn't expect him to be so well maintained, his son was so old, and he seemed like a young child.

Grandpa Mai saluted upstairs and said "Xu Gaoren".

The Xu Gao people beckoned us upstairs.

Xu Rui and Xiaoyu didn't follow, but turned around and left.

Walking on the steps of this bamboo building, there was a "squeak" sound, and when we went up to the second floor, Xu Gaoren led us into a room and said, "I already know the purpose of your trip." ”

I couldn't help but be surprised that before we could open our mouths, he knew why we were here. Could it be that this Xu Gao has the magical powers of an unknown prophet?

Xu Gaoren looked at me and said, "Your name is Chen Yu, right?" ”

I nodded hurriedly and said, yes.

Xu Gaoren continued: "Although the Gu in you is not too troublesome, we can't pull it out for you, because your life is like this, we can't forcibly destroy your life and thus affect the order of this Heavenly Dao. ”

Listening to Xu Gaoren's meaning, he didn't seem to want to save me.

Mai Xiaorou hurriedly begged beside her: "Xu Gaoren, please, save him." ”

Xu Gaoren looked at Mai Xiaorou and said, "Save him?" Why don't you take a look at your own situation first, you are a corpse, borrowing his life, forcibly blocking the robbery for him, you have already violated the way of heaven, and you will be unable to protect yourself! ”

Speaking of this, Xu Gaoren paused for a moment and continued: "The talisman on your body was given to you by me, in order to cover your aura and make you suffer less crimes, otherwise you will run back and forth with such a swagger, I don't know how many cultivators will be chased and killed." ”

Mai Xiaorou stopped talking, but Grandpa Mai said: "Thank you, Xu Gaoren!" ”

Xu Gaoren continued: "The reason why I chose to help you is because I think your infatuation is somewhat similar to when I was young, or rather, you are more infatuated than me, it is precisely because of this that I choose to help you hide your identity, but if I ask you to help you save that kid, it will be impossible." ”

Mai Xiaorou asked, why.

Xu Gaoren smiled and said: "First, the friendship has not arrived, second, don't you have a present, although that kid has fifty-one years of longevity, but after he has passed twenty-one, there is a life and death calamity every year, if he passes, he can live, if he can't pass, then the later yang shou is all virtual, although most people's lives have changed, but the overall is fixed, but the kid is different, his numerology is all variables, to say good, he is an anomaly, to say ugly, he is this variable and' 'Scourge', do you want me to save someone who might be a scourge? ”

I'm a scourge!?

I was a little unhappy when Xu Gaoren said this, and I wanted to fight back against him, but the momentum exuded from his body made me a little unable to muster the courage to refute.

Hearing Xu Gaoren say that I was a curse, Grandpa Mai and Mai Xiaorou were also stunned, and they didn't want to believe these words.

Grandpa Mai said after a while: "Xu Gaoren, I heard that all kinds of disasters harm others, but Chen Yu has not harmed others, but has been looking for him because of disasters." ”

Xu Gaoren smiled and said: "The calamity he encounters now is not big, so the only person who harms is himself, but as the calamity he encounters in the future becomes bigger and bigger, will it affect others?" Will it affect the whole world? ”

Even if it affects other people, I still believe it, saying that I am affecting the whole world and killing me, I don't believe it, I think Xu Gaoren is a little alarmist.

Hearing this, I finally spoke: "Senior Xu, if you don't want to save me, forget it, there is no need to say that these things are not there to slander me, although I Chen Yu can't say that I can't stand up to the sky, but I have never done anything that hurts heaven and reason, I, Chen Yu, am an upright and good person, not a disaster!" ”

Xu Gaoren was not angry, but smiled and said: "You have backbone, in this way, if you want me to save you, it's not impossible, you go back to the North China Branch, I will prepare thirty-six strange cases for you, if you can solve these thirty-six strange cases one by one, I will not only promise to pull out Gu for you, but also accept you as an apprentice and teach me what I have learned all my life." ”

I'm just a newcomer now, how can I solve thirty-six strange cases?

Grandpa Mai's Taoism was completely lost, and he didn't live for a month, Mai Xiaorou's words were also damaged because he became a corpse, no matter how he thought about it, it was an impossible task.

Xu Gaoren continued: "What, retreated? Where did the backbone go just now, and you don't dare to accept this challenge? ”

As soon as Xu Gaoren said this, I "hummed" and said: "Who said I wouldn't dare, just take it, don't forget what you said." ”

Xu Gaodao: "Don't worry, I, Xu Xuan, speak, and I will speak with one word!" ”

It turned out that Xu Gao's name was Xu Xuan.

After saying that, Xu Xuan said again: "By the way, the Gu in you is very powerful, in order to prevent you from being bitten to death by the Gu before completing the task, I will give you one thing, you carry it with you, it can temporarily suppress the Gu worm to awaken in your body, but its validity period is only three years, if within three years, you can't complete thirty-six strange cases, then I'm sorry, there is only a dead end waiting for you." ”

I nodded, but didn't speak.

Seo Hyun took out a bamboo tube from behind him and handed it to me.

I wondered, "This is what you gave me?" What's inside? ”

Xu Xuan said: "Gu! ”

Hearing the word "Gu", I was so frightened that I threw the bamboo tube directly on the table, and Xu Xuan picked it up and said: "You can rest assured, this Gu is not poisonous, it is specially designed to suppress the Soul Devouring Gu, once your Soul Devouring Gu is made, it will take the initiative to fly out of the bamboo tube, bite the three fingertips of your right hand, index finger, middle finger and ring finger respectively, suck out the Gu poison for you, and at the same time suppress the Soul Devouring Gu to wake up, if you don't want it, then I will put it away!" ”

I hesitated, but I still reached out and took it, anyway, I have Gu worms in my body, and I am not afraid of being bitten by something again.

At this time, Grandpa Mai asked Xu Xuan: "Xu Gaoren, since you said that Chen Yu may be a disaster, why do you want to help him?" ”

Xu Xuan said: "Someone once told me that the scourge of the scourge can be controlled, and every scourge actually has the ability to control that kind of 'calamity', so every calamity also has the right to live, instead of having to be sealed or even killed, of course, if the calamity cannot be controlled before the calamity is done, then they can only be killed, because they have lost the chance of survival given by God." ”

The ability to control the "scourge"?

What kind of "woe" is it in me!?

Next, Xu Xuan did not leave us to continue in Miao Village, but asked us to hurry back to North China, before leaving, Mai Xiaorou wanted Xu Xuan to save Grandpa Mai again, Xu Xuan shook his head and said: "Mai Daoyou's limit is approaching, and he has no power to return to heaven, if he forcibly changes his life, it is against the way of heaven." ”

Grandpa Mai also said: "Okay, Xiaorou, don't embarrass Xu Gaoren, he has done enough for us." ”

It seems that Grandpa Mai is really leaving us.

When he said this, Xu Xuan said again: "It's better to be like this, since Mai Daoyou doesn't have much longevity, just stay in this Miao Village for the time being, just to spend the remaining ten days in peace, you are now gone, and you can't help him with Chen Yu, but will become a burden." ”

Using the word "cumbersome" to describe Grandpa Mai made me feel a little unhappy, but Grandpa Mai didn't think so, and smiled: "It's okay, I can spend the last time here, and with Xu Gaoren as my company, I have died without regrets." ”

Grandpa Mai doesn't leave, Mai Xiaorou doesn't want to leave, and I can't bear to leave Grandpa Mai here alone.

Grandpa Mai said: "Three Chinese New Year's Eve and six cases, one case per month, Chen Yu, you don't have much time, don't waste time with an old man here, and you Xiaorou, you and I should have been separated by yin and yang a long time ago, I can let you stay with me for so long, I am already content, if you two don't leave, I will die to you now!" ”

Grandpa Mai is forced to die, and we can only obey orders.

Xu Xuan said again at this time: "I'll give you an address, you go to find someone according to this address, and he will arrange those thirty-six cases for you!" ”

As he spoke, he handed me a note, and I looked at it, and the address of a wreath shroud shop was written on the note, and the person we were looking for was surnamed Li.
