That night, Ah Wei and I went out for a drink, and the next morning I went alone to the tomb in the back mountain.

My father and grandfather are buried here, and it is said that this tomb is a feng shui treasure that my grandfather picked up during his lifetime, and it is surrounded by mountains and rivers, and it is very prosperous for future generations. It's a pity that no matter how good the feng shui treasure is, it can't change the fate of our Bai family.

I briefly cleaned the weeds and stones from my grandfather's and father's graves, and then burned the paper money points that I had prepared in advance. I can't imagine that ten years from now, I will be buried here forever, just like my grandfather and father...

Grandpa was thirty-three years old when he left, and his father was thirty-three years old when he left.

It seems that the descendants of the Bai family will never escape the curse of thirty-three years old.

My impression of my grandfather is only on the ancient book of "Dao Gu Double Cultivation" that he left behind.

From the book, I learned that my grandfather's curse on the Bai family was called "the difficulty of every three" - all the heirs of the Bai family did not live to be thirty-three years old, and the curse was Miao Fuyi, the fifty-first generation head of the Gu faction.

I don't know what grandpa has to do with this Miao Fuyi, and I don't know what kind of hatred this surnamed Miao has with our Bai family, those are all things in the past, and they have nothing to do with me.

All I know is that this curse is really very vicious and effective, and I really don't live to be thirty-three years old since my grandfather's generation.

My father told me this on his thirtieth birthday, when I was only eight years old.

At first I didn't understand how such a thing could have happened, and it wasn't until my father died when I was eleven years old that I realized the horror of this curse.

I've been tormented ever since.

The cruelty of "the difficulty of every three" is not that you will not live to be thirty-three years old, but that it lets you know when you will die.

Waiting for death is more terrible than death.

In the past ten years, I have thoroughly consulted the book "Dao Gu Double Cultivation", and mastered the Dao and Gu techniques that my grandfather had learned all his life, in addition, I also learned from the book the way to solve the "difficulty of every three".

This method is to find the Dragon Gu, as long as you eat the Dragon Gu, you can unlock the curse of "Every Three Difficulties".

It's a pity that this method is very unrealistic at the moment, because in my opinion, Dragon Gu is a thing that doesn't exist.

Legend has it that the nine dragons gathered, bit each other, devoured each other, and finally survived a dragon, which would suffer a catastrophe against the sky after a hundred years, and finally turned into a scale pill, this Lin Dan is called "Dragon Gu".

That's why I said that the method mentioned by my grandfather is unrealistic.

How can there be dragons in this world? And there were nine dragons, and I can't imagine what that would be like.

But for more than ten years, it seems that there is only one way to unlock the curse, with the attitude of giving it a try, I have been looking for the Dragon Gu for more than ten years, which can be regarded as fulfilling my grandfather's last wish back then, and it can be regarded as doing something for the Bai family.

Through these years of visits, I also have some clues about the whereabouts of the Dragon Gu.

According to the guidance of a hidden master, the Dragon Gu was hidden in the Emperor City, which may be related to the famous Gu Sect back then. Because of this, I moved to the Emperor City a few years ago, where I set up a shop of flowers, birds, fish, and insects, so that I could properly house the rare beasts I raised, and I could also find the whereabouts of the Gu Sect's heirs in the Emperor City.

But after so many years, I still haven't been able to find out the slightest news about the Gu Sect's heirs. I didn't expect that this time I went back to my hometown and let me meet the Slice Gu, and this Gu, which is also recorded in "Dao Gu Double Cultivation", is from the Gu faction.

If we can find that Gu Master here, the curse that has plagued us for three generations may be able to find a way to break it.

It seems that I still have to work Xiaoyun's side...

"Grandpa, Dad, it's very likely that the Gu Sect heir is still alive in the world, if I can find him, the matter back then will definitely be resolved..."

……

After reporting the progress of the search for the Dragon Gu in front of the graves of my grandfather and father, as well as the discovery of the Fragment Gu in my hometown, I got up and prepared to go down the mountain to find the Gu sect heir.

Just as I was about to turn to leave, a young Taoist priest in a blue Taoist robe appeared in front of me.

This Taoist priest came quietly, and I had just completely let down my guard, so I didn't notice his existence at all.

"Excuse me, Xiaoyou is Bai Yigang, the grandson of Bai Zhenglin?" The young Taoist priest asked.

I nodded, "You are?" ”

The young Taoist priest smiled slightly: "I am Zhang Kaiyuan, a Taoist disciple of the Heavenly Master's Mansion in Longhu Mountain, and I am also a closed disciple of the Old Heavenly Master. ”

Dragon Tiger Mountain? Heavenly Master's Mansion? Heavenly Master?

This Taoist priest named Zhang Kaiyuan said that I was in a fog, especially when he asked me to call him Kaiyuan Daoist?

Judging from age, this person named Zhang Kaiyuan is the same age as me, and the Heavenly Master still has such a young disciple? I had some doubts in my heart.

I know a little bit about the Heavenly Master.

Back then, I learned from my father that my grandfather was the proud protégé of the Heavenly Master and the strongest disciple of the Heavenly Master Mansion in Longhu Mountain.

Grandpa's proficient Dao techniques were all taught by the Heavenly Master, based on the skills he learned in the Heavenly Master's Mansion, Grandpa wrote the book "Dao Gu Double Cultivation", in some ways, the Bai family and the Heavenly Master's Mansion have a very delicate relationship.

However, as for the bond between Grandpa and the Heavenly Master, then I don't know.

My father didn't know about what happened back then, and my grandfather didn't tell my father, so I naturally didn't know about the past of those old sesame seeds and rotten grains.

Seeing that I didn't speak, he didn't care about coming to his grandfather's grave and bowing down to worship.

"The younger generation Zhang Kaiyuan, meet Senior Brother Zhenglin, Master often mentions the deeds of Senior Brother in front of his fellow brothers..."

After Zhang Kaiyuan finished worshipping his grandfather and father, he turned around and came to me again.

This Zhang Kaiyuan was indeed respectful and polite in front of his grandfather's grave, but he was obviously absent-minded to me, and I could even feel a trace of disdain in his eyes, but on the surface he was not good at showing it.

"Xiaoyou, this time I went down the mountain, I was entrusted by the master to ensure that Xiaoyou's path to find the Dragon Gu can be smooth and successful, and Xiaoyou can ask me for help if you encounter any difficulties." Zhang Kaiyuan said expressionlessly.

Hearing Zhang Kaiyuan mention the matter of the Dragon Gu, I can now be sure that he is indeed the disciple of the Old Heavenly Master, because there is only one person in this world who knows about the Dragon Gu.

I smiled: "In other words, the head of the long road is here to protect me?" ”

"Yes."

"That Dao Chang is really a little too worried, first of all, I can protect myself, and secondly, now is a society under the rule of law, if there is anything I can do, I will not bother to go far away."

After speaking, I directly passed shoulders with Zhang Kaiyuan and walked down the mountain.

As I passed by Zhang Kaiyuan, I could clearly hear a soft snort from his nose, and I didn't care about these details, after all, I didn't take him seriously.

"Presumably, Xiaoyou already knows that the Gu Sect heir is still alive."

Hearing Zhang Kaiyuan say this, I stopped and turned my head to look at him.

"How do you know about the Gu Sect heirs?"

"That's why Master asked me to go down the mountain to protect Xiaoyou, the Gu Sect Descendant has been here for some time, and he is here for Xiaoyou."

I smiled: "That's just right, here we can solve the "three difficulties" thing, and also settle the feud of our Bai family." ”

"I'm afraid I'm going to disappoint Xiaoyou, as far as I know, the Gu Sect heirs have already moved to Emperor City."

I frowned: "What is he doing in the Imperial City?" ”

"Presumably, the purpose is the same as Xiaoyou's - to find the Dragon Gu." Zhang Kaiyuan replied calmly.

I was surprised for a while, there were no more than three people in this world who knew about the Dragon Gu hiding in the Emperor City.

No matter how the other party knew where the dragon Gu was, everything was as I wanted it to be now.

Since we have the same goal, then the matter will be easier to solve, I happen to be going back to Emperor City, then let the grievances between the Bai family and the Gu Sect be settled in Emperor City.

Thinking of this, I turned around and continued to walk down the mountain.

"In terms of seniority, your grandfather and I are brothers in the same sect, you should call me master."

I stopped and looked back and quipped, "What do you want to say?" ”

Zhang Kaiyuan said seriously: "I just hope you can recognize yourself and not be too confident." ”

I was so annoyed by Zhang Kaiyuan's preachy tone, I couldn't help but ask, "May I ask you Guigeng?" ”

"Five out of twenty."

I cried and laughed: "You are two years older than me, big brother, is your tone so horizontal?" ”

Zhang Kaiyuan said expressionlessly: "Age is just a number, and only when it comes to qualifications can you see the real chapter." ”

"It's good if you're happy."

I dropped the sentence and ignored him, and walked straight down the mountain.

I really don't feel the difference between this guy with a stinky face who is a master in the world, and the most important thing is that he is only two years older than me, so what kind of messy title is the Taoist and the master.

I was complaining in my heart about this paralyzed face, but I felt a strong wind in front of me.

"Whew!"

I steadied myself and leaped backwards, dodging it.

I saw him standing in front of me with his hands open, still with that expressionless face.

"I was ordered by Master to go down the mountain to protect you, I hope you won't embarrass me."
