Longevity begins with slaying demons and eliminating demons

Chapter 131 If in Late Spring (Please subscribe for the fifth update!)

"The opportunity to break through the third realm?"

Gu Xu knew that as early as October, Shi Xiaohan had already completed the second realm, and could break through the third realm at any time.

However, according to the description in the practice books, when a monk advances from the second realm [Huangquan Road] to the third realm [Naihe Bridge], there is a certain probability of obtaining a supernatural power.

For example, Chu Fengge's "Wild Grass", Shangguan Jin's "Sky Calculation", Lu Shiyao's "Wisdom Eye", Chen Jisheng's "Bright Moon"...all of them are of great help to their fighting or cultivation.

Because Shi Xiaohan also wanted to obtain a powerful supernatural power, so she kept suppressing her true essence, and she never broke through.

However, there are conditions for awakening supernatural powers.

It requires "solid foundations," "clear goals," "the courage to go forward," and "a strong emotional shock."

Shi Xiaohan, as the only daughter of the family and the apple of her father's eye, was pampered and grew up since she was a child. She can be said to be a carefree little princess.

If she were asked to look for the so-called "emotional shock", she would probably only find "The Piaoxiang Building is not open today, so angry", "The dessert I put in the kitchen is moldy again, so uncomfortable", " This guy Gu Xu stole my ghost again, I hate it", "Father is urging me to find a husband again, it's really annoying"...

This level of annoyance, with Shi Xiaohan's temperament, as long as she sleeps well, she will forget about it when she wakes up the next day - naturally it is not enough to help her awaken a powerful supernatural power.

"Perhaps it was what happened at Pan Xiaopeng's house and the cemetery yesterday that touched her heart a lot..." Gu Xu guessed silently in his heart.

At this moment, the gorgeous fireworks illuminate Shi Xiaohan's pretty oval face, making her look dazzling.

"Because after I came back from the cemetery yesterday evening, I finally understood that I have to become stronger." Shi Xiaohan clenched his fist and waved it in front of Gu Xu, "Only by becoming strong enough to be stronger than Mr. Zheng back then Only by being strong can we protect the people of Yishui, our families, and you...

"And when I become strong enough, you don't need to risk your life to practice desperately—you can leave things like killing ghosts to me."

"Then what am I going to do?" Gu Xu spread his hands and teased, "If you kill all the ghosts, wouldn't I be an idler?"

"You are responsible for staying here every day and making cookies for me!" Shi Xiaohan looked at him and said solemnly, "From morning to night, you are not allowed to go out until you finish a box."

Hearing her words, Gu Xu smiled and shook his head.

Asking himself, he really wanted to just lie down and be a salted fish that could feed himself by making cookies every day without working hard, killing ghosts, or seeking opportunities.

It's a pity that his fate doesn't allow it.

If you want to live forever, you must work hard.

But he doesn't plan to tell Shi Xiaohan about his difficulties for the time being - if the little girl is frightened, it will be very bad.

So he smiled and said to her: "Come on, Xiaohan! I wish you can awaken a satisfactory supernatural power!"

"Accept your good words!" Shi Xiaohan raised her chin, and the fireworks made her clear eyes shine with a dreamlike light, "Gu Xu, listen, after breaking through, this heroine will cover you! Who dares to protect you?" Bullying you, this heroine will hack him to death!"

Gu Xu smiled and nodded.

Shi Xiaohan's words were the same as before, it sounded like a joke made by a little girl dreaming of being a knight.

But for some reason, he vaguely felt that her expression this time was much more serious than before.

…………

The fourth day of the twelfth lunar month in the 23rd year of Tianxing.

It is advisable to start construction, break ground, crown, marry, and travel.

Avoid breaking down houses, making stoves, encoffining, and accepting livestock.

…………

It is still a cloudy day.

Thick black clouds covered the sky, making people breathless.

Accompanied by the bitter cold wind, Shi Xiaohan arrived at the office of the Exorcist Department early in a black "Qiyao uniform" and black official boots.

Today, she restrained her bright smile in the past, and there was no expression on her fair and pretty face.

She climbed the stone steps, crossed the threshold, walked into the lobby, walked straight to Chen Jisheng's desk, nodded slightly to him and said, "Master Chen, I would like to apply to enter the 'Mingzhi Hall' for a period of retreat, trying to break through the third realm 'Naihe Bridge'."

"Mingzhitang" is the retreat place set up by Zheng Yu, the former governor of Yishui Exorcist Department, in the yamen many years ago.

To enter "Ming Zhi Tang", there is only one simple condition.

That is - "Ming Zhi".

Under normal circumstances, every monk who enters "Mingzhi Hall" will have the firm idea of ​​"don't leave the customs if you don't break through".

Some people broke through the bottleneck in this quiet and lonely "Mingzhi Hall".

But there are also some people who have been unable to find a breakthrough opportunity in the "Ming Zhi Tang" for a long time, and eventually went mad.

At this moment, Shi Xiaohan's application to enter the "Mingzhi Hall" obviously made up his mind.

"Have you finally found the opportunity you wanted?" Chen Jisheng raised his head and asked her.

Shi Xiaohan nodded seriously.

"Okay." Seeing her serious expression, Chen Jisheng squeezed out a smile, with some relief and regret in his eyes, "I wish you all the best!"

"Thank you, Mr. Chen!" Shi Xiaohan said.

Afterwards, she turned and left the lobby, and walked along the long and narrow corridor towards "Mingzhi Hall".

Never looked back for a moment.

"Gu Xu, you may not know," as she walked, the corners of her mouth turned up slightly, and she whispered to herself, "According to the tradition of the Daqi Dynasty, the promise made next to the fireworks on the birthday is always the most effective." of.

"I do what I say."

…………

at the same time.

Gu Xu sat by the window of the Cangshu Pavilion of the Exorcism Department, swallowed a "Eternal Brightness Pill", tried to recite the formula of "Red Flame True Art", and entered the state of cultivation.

However, the chilling wind inadvertently penetrated into his sleeves, and also disturbed his mood, making him unable to calm down for a long time.

He shook his head and looked out the window.

Shi Xiaohan's petite back came into his eyes.

The girl was dressed in black, her dark cloud-like hair fluttering in the wind, and she was walking towards the distance with firm steps.

Gu Xu sighed lightly.

He knew that his intuition last night was not wrong.

Overnight, the girl grew up.

Although she still had a smile on her face.

But she is no longer that ignorant little princess.

Sure enough, growth comes at a price.

In this cruel world, it is difficult for her to keep her carefree innocence after all.

Thinking of this, Gu Xu took out the "Jinghong Pen" from his pocket, splashed ink on the white paper in front of him, and wrote a poem in cursive script.

The content is as follows:

"Lingbo doesn't pass Hengtang Road, but he sees off, and Fangchen goes. Who will save the golden year? The platform, the flower pavilion, the small window and the vermilion household, only the spring knows.

"Fei Yun Ran Ran Heng Gao Mu, a heart-breaking sentence with a new topic in colored pens. How much leisure do you have? A river of tobacco, the city is full of wind and rain, and plums are yellow and rainy." (1)

Although it is cold winter.

Ten thousand trees withered, not a single blade of grass grows.

However, when Gu Xu finished writing the last word, the "Jinghong Pen" in his hand suddenly shone brightly.

In the entire Yishui County, catkins are flying in the wind all over the sky.

If in late spring.
