death

Chapter 34 Xu Gaoren

Seeing that I was embarrassed by the Miao girl next to me, the man leading the way turned around and smiled at her and said, "Xiaoyu, it's impolite to look at guests like that, come to me."

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 that, all three of us were shocked.

What is Xiaoyu's origin? Mai Xiaorou has Xu Gaoren's talisman on her body. Grandpa Mai said that it would be difficult for an ordinary expert to see Mai Xiaorou's identity, but Xiaoyu made it clear.

In addition, she even saw that Grandpa Mai and I were about to die.

Why are all the women I met recently so against the sky! ?
The man smiled at Xiaoyu and said, "Okay, don't talk nonsense. I could only call you a pseudonym. No matter how much you talk, you expose your identity. Don't blame my father for punishing you."

Isn't Xiaoyu the girl's real name?

The two of them led the three of us to a bamboo building. From the beginning to the end, the man did not introduce his name. We heard the woman's name, but it was just a pseudonym. Thinking about it this way, I suddenly felt that the people in this village were a little dishonest.

We also met some Miao people along the way. When they saw the man and the woman, they all saluted respectfully. From this we can deduce that these two people should have a very high status in the Miao Village.

When he reached the bottom of the bamboo building, the man shouted to the top of the bamboo building: "Father, Senior Mai and his friends have come to look for you."

Father, is this boy Xu Gaoren's son?
Grandpa Mai was also stunned for a moment and said: "You are Xu Gaoren's son, 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 live in Miao Village often. I happened to come back to visit relatives last time and this time, and I was able to meet Senior Mai these two times, which can be regarded as a relationship between us. fate."

Grandpa Mai nodded, and then asked his name respectfully.

The boy smiled and said, "My name is Xu Rui."

Soon, a person came out from the bamboo building, that person also looked very young, he looked a few years older than Xu Rui, his appearance was somewhat similar to Xu Rui, but his eyes were different. Much deeper than Xu Rui, that kind of depth can only be possessed by a deep experience.

I immediately understood that that person was Xu Gaoren.

At first I thought he was a bad old man like Grandpa Mai, but I didn't expect him to take care of him so well, his son was so old, but he looked like a young boy.

Grandpa Mai saluted upstairs and said "Xu Gaoren".

The man Xu Gao greeted us to go upstairs.

Xu Rui and Xiaoyu did not follow, but turned 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 being surprised, he knew why we came before we even opened our mouths?Does this Xu Gao have the supernatural power of prophecy?

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

I nodded quickly 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 fate is like this, we can't forcefully destroy your fate, and thus affect the order of the heaven."

According to what Xu Gaoren said, he seemed unwilling to save me.

Mai Xiaorou hurriedly begged beside him: "Mr. Xu Gao, please, please save him."

Xu Gaoren looked at Mai Xiaoju and said: "Save him? Why don't you look at your own situation first, you are a corpse, borrowing his life, forcibly blocking robbery for him, you have violated the law of heaven, you will not be able to protect yourself !"

Speaking of which, Xu Gaoren paused for a moment and continued: "I gave you the talisman on your body to cover up your aura and save you from suffering. Otherwise, if you run back and forth like this, you don't know that you will be killed. How many ascetics have been hunted down."

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

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

Mai Xiaorou asked why.

Xu Gaoren smiled and said: "First, the friendship has not yet arrived, and second, haven't you noticed that although that kid has a 51-year lifespan, after he has passed 21, there will be a life-and-death calamity every year. If he passes it, he can live on. If he can't, then the rest of his life is useless. Although most people's lives have changed, they are generally fixed, but that kid's is different. Numerology is all variables, to put it mildly, he is a different species, to put it bluntly, his variables are very similar to the 'scourge', do you want me to save a person who may be the curse?"

I am the curse! ?
When Xu Gaoren said that, I felt a little unhappy for a moment. I wanted to fight back, but the aura exuded from him made me unable to summon up the courage to refute.

Hearing that Xu Gaoren said that I was a curse, Grandpa Mai and Mai Xiaorou were also stunned, and they were unwilling to believe these words.

Grandpa Mai said after a while: "Mr. Xu Gao, I heard that all kinds of disasters are harming others, but Chen Yu has never harmed anyone. Instead, he always looks for him in disasters."

Xu Gaoren smiled and said: "Now the catastrophe he encountered is not serious, so he is the only one who hurts himself, but as the catastrophe he encounters becomes more and more serious, will it affect other people? Won't it affect the whole world?"

I still believe that it hurts other people, and I don't believe that I hurt the whole world, and I don't believe it if I'm killed. I think Xu Gaoren is a bit alarmist.

Hearing this, I finally said: "Senior Xu, it's fine if you don't want to save me, there's no need to slander me by saying something or nothing. Although I, Chen Yu, can't be said to be upright, I have never done anything that hurts the world. However, I, Chen Yu, am an upright and good person, not a curse!"

Xu Gaoren was not angry, but smiled and said: "You have a backbone, so if you want me to save you, it is not impossible. You go back to the North China Branch, and I will prepare 36 strange cases for you. If you can solve these Once the 36 strange cases are solved, I will not only promise to pull out the Gu for you, but also accept you as an apprentice and teach me what I have learned all my life."

I am just a newcomer now, how can I solve 36 strange cases?
Grandpa Mai's morality is completely damaged, and he can't live for more than a month. Mai Xiaorou's words are also damaged because he has become a corpse. No matter how you think about it, this is an impossible task.

Xu Gaoren continued: "Why, backed down? Where did the backbone just now go? Don't you dare to accept this challenge?"

When Xu Gaoren said this, I "hummed" and said: "Who says I dare not, just accept it, don't forget what you said."

Xu Gao said humanely: "Don't worry, I, Xu Xuan, will keep my promises when I speak!"

It turns out that Xu Gao's name is 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 you complete the task, I will give you something that you carry with you. It can temporarily suppress the Gu. The worm wakes up in your body, but it is only valid for three years, if you cannot complete 36 strange cases within three years, then I am sorry, the only thing waiting for you is a dead end."

I nodded and didn't speak.

Xu Xuan took out a bamboo tube from behind him and handed it to me.

I asked curiously, "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 on the table, Xu Xuan picked it up and said, "Don't worry, this kind of Gu is not poisonous, it is specially used to suppress Soul-eating Gu, once your When the Soul-devouring Gu attacks, it will fly out of the bamboo tube and bite on the index finger, middle finger and ring finger of your right hand respectively, sucking out the poison for you and suppressing the awakening of the Soul-devouring Gu. If you don't want it, then I will Put it away!"

I hesitated for a moment, but I still stretched out my hand to take it. Anyway, I have Gu worms in my body, so I am not afraid of being bitten by anything again.

At this time, Grandpa Mai asked Xu Xuan: "Xu Gaoren, since you said that Chen Yu might be the seed of disaster, why did you help him?"

Xu Xuandao: "A person once told me that the disaster of the disaster can be controlled, and each disaster actually has the ability to control that kind of 'disaster', so each disaster also has the right to live, Rather than having to be banned, or even killed, of course, if the scourge cannot be controlled before the 'scourge' occurs, they can only be killed, because they have lost the chance of survival given by heaven."

The ability to control "scourge"?

What kind of "disaster" is on me! ?
Next, Xu Xuan didn't keep us in Miao Village, but told us to hurry back to North China. Before leaving, Mai Xiaorou wanted Xu Xuan to save Grandpa Mai again, so Xu Xuan shook his head and said, "Mr. Fellow Daoist’s time is approaching, and he is powerless to return to heaven, if he forcibly changes his fate, it would be against the way of heaven.”

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

It seems that Grandpa Mai is really going to leave us.

When talking about this, Xu Xuan said again: "How about this, since Mai Daoyou's life expectancy is not long, let's stay in this Miao village for the time being, just to spend the remaining ten days in peace, you are gone now, Following Chen Yu will not help him, but will become a burden."

Using the word "cumbersome" to describe Grandpa Mai made me feel a little unhappy, but Grandpa Mai didn't take it seriously, smiled and said: "It's okay, I can spend the last time here with Xu Gaoren as my company. Die without regret."

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

Grandpa Mai said: "There are 36 cases in three years, one case per month, Chen Yu, you don't have much time, don't waste time here with me as an old man, and you, Xiaorou, you and I should have yin and yang long ago. It's been two years, and I'm content to let you stay with me for so long, if the two of you don't leave, I'll die for you right now!"

Grandpa Mai threatened to die, and we had no choice but to obey.

Xu Xuan said again at this time: "I will give you an address, you can find someone according to this address, and he will arrange those 36 cases for you!"

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