Longevity begins with slaying demons and eliminating demons

Chapter 143 Self-disclosure
In just a few minutes of meeting Gu Xu, Shi Lei's mood has undergone an extremely subtle change.

At first he had a gloomy face, thinking "this little bastard has such a handsome face, I'm afraid he would have kidnapped that girl Shi Xiaohan long ago".

However, after he knew about Gu Xu's longevity problem, his thoughts changed to "It's a pity that such a great young man can only live to be 30 years old", and his favorability towards Gu Xu gradually increased.

Although Shi Lei doesn't think that Gu Xu has the hope to become a saint before the age of 30.

But out of compassion, he didn't mind helping the other party a little bit in terms of resources—anyway, what the Shi family lacked most was money.

Of course, help is help.

As a father who dotes on his daughter, no matter how good Gu Xu is, it is impossible for Shi Lei to let his only daughter marry a boy who has a high probability of only living to be 30 years old.

After all, this is related to Shi Xiaohan's lifelong happiness.

Shi Lei doesn't want to see her spend most of her life as a widow.

……

At the time when Lei's thoughts were racing, another young monk who was a reserve member of the "Shenji Battalion" walked into the lobby of the yamen.

Seeing the monk's sallow complexion and timid behavior, Shi Lei suddenly felt a little irritable.

It's not because this monk is too bad.

It's just because Shi Lei has been looking at people with a son-in-law's eye.

Compared with Gu Xu, this person is far behind.

Just like the judges of a talent show, after watching a very exciting show, the evaluation standards for subsequent shows will become higher.

"Exit... Xiaguan Chu Wei from the Department of Exorcism of Le'an County, I have met you, Master Shi!" The man said tremblingly.

"Your token." Shi Lei said lightly.

Hearing this, the person who called himself Chu Wei immediately took out the "Shenji Token" from his pocket, and handed it to Shi Lei respectfully with both hands.

Shi Lei didn't reach out to pick it up, but glanced at the back of the token and saw a pattern of Bi Fang.

"Okay," Shi Lei said expressionlessly, "Go back to the inn first and wait for the follow-up arrangement!"

"Yes, my lord!" Chu Wei bowed and saluted, then turned and left.

At the same time, he sighed in his heart: This Lord Shi, seems to be colder than the rumors!

And Shi Lei looked into the distance inadvertently, thinking to himself: Xiao Han, I will definitely try my best to find you a husband who is as good as Gu Xu and your father!Be sure to let you spend your life happily!
…………

at the same time.

Yishui County, Exorcism Department Yamen.

Shi Xiaohan has been in retreat in Mingzhi Hall alone for more than half a month.

In the Great Wilderness, the time for a monk to break through to the third realm varies from person to person - as little as an hour or two, as long as several months.

As the saying goes, "By the river of Wangchuan, flowers bloom on the other side."

They need to go through the endless sea of ​​flowers on the other side, come to the bank of Wangchuan River, and find the location of the legendary "Naihe Bridge".

The water of the Wangchuan River is blood-yellow, and it is full of lonely and wild ghosts who cannot be reincarnated. It is full of insects and snakes, and the wind is blowing.

For practitioners, crossing the Naihe Bridge is a difficult test.

The souls of the dead in the Wangchuan River are spreading strong negative emotions to the outside world at all times. If they can't resist, they will be bewitched and thrown into the river to die.

But if they successfully cross the "Naihe Bridge", the spiritual consciousness of the monks will undergo a qualitative transformation through repeated tempering, and they may even have the opportunity to awaken special supernatural powers.

However, Shi Xiaohan has not officially set foot on the "Naihe Bridge" yet.

She is still swaying in the blood-red sea of ​​flowers on the other side.

Two hours later, she opened her eyes.

In this world, retreat does not mean burying your head in cultivation and staying still.

Always stop halfway, adjust the mental state, and replenish the elixir, so as to prevent getting lost on the long road to the netherworld, becoming crazy and turning into a monster.

For Shi Xiaohan, even if he is practicing in closed doors, three meals a day are indispensable.

Every morning, noon, and night, she would ask her maid Chenxi to bring her carefully prepared meals in food boxes.

The same is true tonight.

Chen Xi came to the window of Mingzhi Hall and handed in a food box: "Miss, this is today's dinner. We went to Caishi Street to buy barbecue according to your request."

Seeing this exquisite food box, Shi Xiaohan didn't have the expected surprise on his face, but suddenly frowned.

"Chenxi, you guys used the wrong food box today!" She pointed at the food box and said.

"Using the wrong food box?" Chen Xi felt a little strange, "Aren't all the food boxes in our family exactly the same?"

"Hmph, that's not it!" Shi Xiaohan said with his hands on his hips, "I told Mother Hu who was cooking before that the food box with a small gap was for my own use; and the one you sent now On the food box, I once drew a mark in the shape of a sun, which I used to deliver breakfast to Gu Xu in the past few days."

Chen Xi looked down, and sure enough, in an inconspicuous corner of the wooden food box, he saw a crooked little sun drawn with charcoal.

"I'm sorry, miss, Madam Hu left the mansion this afternoon and went back to her own home for the New Year," Chen Xi explained, "Before she left, she didn't tell us about it."

"It's okay," Shi Xiaohan grinned, "I've always been a broad-minded person, so I don't care about such small things."

Hearing her words, Chen Xi couldn't help but glanced at her slightly undulating chest, thinking: Miss, you are still a child, so it's better not to mention "broad-mindedness".

"Miss, then I'll go back and bring you another dinner in your lunch box!"

After all, Chen Xi wanted to take back the food box from Shi Xiaohan's hand.

But Shi Xiaohan grabbed the food box and refused to let go.

"No need, this is too troublesome."

"Okay then." Seeing Shi Xiaohan's stubborn appearance, Chen Xi stopped insisting, and at the same time took out a letter from her body and handed it to Shi Xiaohan together with the food box, "Also, miss, this is your father Letter to you today."

…………

After Chenxi left, Shi Xiaohan closed the window.

Then sat down in the corner of the room, opened the letter first, and began to read the contents.

When she saw her father Shi Lei write "Your colleague Gu Xu is a very good person", she was secretly delighted, and felt happier than her father boasting about herself.

But when she saw the words "help him more in the future", she was a little surprised.

she thinks:

"Why did father want to help him after seeing him?"

"Do you think he is excellent and want to have a good relationship with him?"

"Now every half a month, I will send Gu Xu a few bottles of pills... Maybe I haven't helped enough!"

"It's just that he is so powerful now, I can't think of any other ways to help him..."

After reading the letter, she put the letter aside, then opened the food box, and entered the most anticipated cooking time of the day.

She skillfully held the chopsticks, and stuffed the barbecue and other meals in the food box into her mouth at an extremely fast speed. Soon her cheeks were puffed up, the corners of her mouth were covered with shiny oil stains, and she made a chugging sound from time to time.

She has never cared whether her eating looks good or not.

But now, taking advantage of the fact that she was the only one in Mingzhitang, she couldn't help sticking out her tongue and licking the bottom and sides of the bowl, as if she wanted to lick away all the smell of barbecue left in the food box.

However, at this moment, she suddenly thought of a serious problem——

Gu Xu used this food box before.

In that case, wouldn't it be...

She suddenly exclaimed, and her ears began to turn red.

…………

In the evening of that day, Gu Xu stayed at Tongfu Inn in Laizhou Prefecture according to the arrangement of "Shenji Camp".

The room in the inn is small and looks very simple, but it is more comfortable.

Although Gu Xu has not yet met his fellow reserve members of the "Shenji Battalion".

But he knew that other people should live nearby.

Just when he was about to start practicing, he found that his "Shenji Token" began to shine.

As soon as his hand touched the token, paragraph after paragraph of text quickly appeared in his vision, making him dizzy——

["Spirit Fox" invites "Suzaku" to join the "Discussion Room". 】

["Linghu" invites "White Tiger" to join the "Discussion Room". 】

["Linghu" invites "Kirin" to join the "Discussion Room". 】

【…】

[Linghu: Everyone, let me introduce myself. This is Shangguan Jin, the doctor of the Exorcism Department. It is a great honor to come to Laizhou Prefecture to explore the Laoshan ruins with you.Looking forward to your advice in the future! 】

PS: I'm sorry that I didn't get home until 12:00 after working overtime today, so the update is a bit late.
