Longevity begins with slaying demons and eliminating demons

Chapter 45 Eclipse
The Shijia Mansion is located in the southeast of Yishui County.

This is a three-entry quadrangle courtyard with carved beams and embroidered columns, green tiles and red eaves.

Shi Xiaohan was sitting under the plane tree in the courtyard, holding a book and reading quietly.

She was resting at home today, so she didn't put on makeup or tied her hair in a bun; her hair was like ink dyed, hanging down to her waist, which contrasted sharply with her fair face.

She was not wearing a uniform, instead, she was wearing a lavender pleated jacket skirt, with a pair of snow-white slender feet exposed under the skirt, as delicate and exquisite as porcelain.

"Xiao Han, what book are you reading?"

At this moment, a burly middle-aged man strode into the yard with a hearty smile on his face, and said to Shi Xiaohan under the plane tree.

Hearing this voice, Shi Xiaohan closed the book, raised his head, and frowned slightly: "Father, didn't I just tell you not to interfere with my reading?"

The middle-aged man immediately raised his hands, made a gesture of surrender, and said innocently: "Xiao Han is not angry, I'm just a little curious."

This middle-aged man is Shi Lei, the father of Shi Xiaohan.

He held the position of "Thousand Households" in Laizhou Mansion, with a fifth-rank official rank, and could be regarded as a big guard on the side.

He took a rare few days off recently, and took this opportunity to return to Yishui County to visit his precious only daughter.

Just after returning home, Shi Xiaohan never gave him a good look.

The reason why Shi Xiaohan was in a bad mood was very simple-because her father came home suddenly, she couldn't go to Gu Xu's celebration banquet to eat and drink, and she missed countless delicious dishes.

You know, Gu Xu's stingy guy treats guests to dinner, but it's a rare event that happens once in a century.

But she was too lazy to explain to her father.

This made Shi Lei feel uneasy all the time. He didn't know what he had done wrong, and annoyed his precious daughter.

Shi Xiao Leng snorted coldly, raised the book in his hand, and showed it in front of his father.

I saw a few words written on the cover of this book:

"Luojing Food Collection".

"Food Treasures" is a book that records gourmet food.

"Xiaohan, if I remember correctly, aren't you studying Jiangnan cuisine recently? Why are you suddenly interested in Luojing's food again?" Shi Lei was a little confused.

Shi Xiaohan stood up, stood barefoot on the fallen leaves of the parasol trees all over the ground, and folded his arms in front of his chest and replied, "The place in Yishui is too small for this heroine to use her skills. I want to break through to the third realm as soon as possible and strive for I will be transferred to the capital next year to participate in bigger cases and solve more ferocious ghosts."

"Have ambition! As expected of my daughter!" Shi Lei immediately gave her a thumbs up, "Since you have such an idea, a father will help you as much as possible—"

"—Don't," Shi Xiaohan pouted and shook his head again and again, "Don't interfere, I don't want to go through the back door! I don't want to be regarded by others as a relationship household who only relies on my father's superiors! This woman must rely on herself. The hard power of , go to participate in the promotion assessment, and then be promoted to the capital dignifiedly!"

"Well said!" Shi Lei applauded, "I have been taught for my father! My heroine is bright and upright, and she never disdains to do things like flies!"

Shi Lei said this, but what he thought in his heart was: Silly girl, you don't understand, background relationship is also part of strength.There are a lot of young geniuses emerging now. I heard that there has been a [-]rd-Rank talent monster recently. You may not be able to fight against such a person.When you actually go to take the assessment, I still have to say hello to the examiner in private.

Looking at the longer and more beautiful girl in front of him, Shi Lei was silent for a long time, and then said: "Xiao Han, I have to discuss an important matter with you. You are 17 years old now, so you can be considered a big girl. Listen It is said that there are many handsome young people in the capital. When you get there, you must take a good look to see if there is anyone you like. My father will definitely try his best to make a good marriage for you—"

"—No, don't mess around." Shi Xiaohan shook his head again, interrupting his words.

"Why?" Shi Lei asked suspiciously, "Those girls of the same age as you got engaged almost last year. If you wait like this, young talents will be robbed.

"Could it be... you already have someone you like?"

Seeing Shi Xiaohan's sullen appearance, Shi Lei had a bold guess in his heart.

"No! I don't! Don't talk nonsense!" Shi Xiaohan immediately denied, "This female hero cares about all the people in the world, and I don't want to indulge in the love of my children! If I don't eliminate ghosts, this female hero will never have a family!"

Shi Lei sighed silently.

He has been in love with his ex-wife for many years.After the death of his wife, he did not resume the string.

Shi Xiaohan is their only bloodline.

For more than ten years, he has been holding his daughter in the palm of his hand, reluctant to beat her, reluctant to scold her, treat her like a treasure, and obey everything.

It's just... with his daughter's stubborn personality, he felt that the Shi family might be cut off from children.

"Hey, how should I convince her?" Lord Qianhu, who is in charge of Laizhou Prefecture, has never felt such a headache.

Shi Xiaohan didn't care about his father's thoughts.

She shook her dress, sat back on the ground, and continued to read "Luojing Food Collection" attentively.

She imagined that when she arrives in the capital next year, she must take Gu Xu to the streets and alleys to taste all the delicious food.

Let's work together to solve a few big cases - Gu Xu is responsible for using her brain, she is responsible for using a knife, to achieve the reputation of "Double Heroes of Yishui", and make everyone look at them with admiration.

This kind of life, just thinking about it makes people very emotional.

…………

Three days later, the divine sense spell "Solar Eclipse" was delivered to Gu Xu's residence on time.

This is a thin booklet.

On its title page, a brief introduction is also written.

Gu Xu learned that the creator of this spell was a monk named Xue Jiong from the Exorcism Department a hundred years ago. Because he made a mistake in the process of cultivation, his meridians were broken and he could no longer cultivate his true essence.

So he created his own technique of "Eclipse" and practiced his spiritual consciousness.

Many years later, he was on a par with the Fifth Realm cultivator with only divine sense.

Although there may be factors in which the opponent is underestimated and slack...

But this case is enough to prove the powerful potential of Divine Consciousness spells.

So, Gu Xu opened the book and started to follow the steps introduced in the book to train his consciousness.

If his previous consciousness was an uncarved rough stone.

So what he has to do now is to rely on the spell in his hand to repeatedly polish the pristine stone, remove impurities, carefully carve it, and turn it into a pure and pure jade.

This is also an extremely risky process.

If you are not careful, you may cause permanent mental damage and become an idiot.

Time flies.

In the blink of an eye, half an hour passed.

Gu Xu closed the book and stood up.

At this time, his eyes were dark and deep, and there was no light.

He has initially completed the technique of "Solar Eclipse".
