Chapter 131 If in late spring (fifth update, please subscribe!)
“An opportunity to break through to the third realm?”
Gu Xu knew that as early as October, Shi Xiaohan had already Once the second realm is complete, you can break through to the third realm at any time.
But according to the descriptions in the cultivation books, when a monk advances from the second realm [Huangquan Road] to the third realm [Naihe Bridge], there is a certain probability of acquiring a magical power.
For example, Chu Fengge’s “Wild Grass”, Shangguan Jin’s “Heavenly Calculation”, Lu Shiyao’s “Wisdom Eyes”, Chen Jisheng’s “Bright Moon”... all have a great influence on their fighting or cultivation. help.
Because Shi Xiaohan also wanted to obtain a powerful magical power, she had been suppressing the true energy and had not yet been able to break through.
However, there are conditions for awakening magical powers.
It requires "a solid foundation", "clear goals", "the courage to move forward", and "strong emotional impact".
As the only daughter in the family and the apple of his father's eye, Shi Xiaohan has been pampered since he was a child and can be said to be a carefree little princess.
If she was asked to look for the so-called "emotional shock", she would probably only find "The Piaoxiang Restaurant is not open today, I'm so angry" and "The desserts I put in the kitchen are moldy again. , so uncomfortable", "Gu Xu stole my ghost again, so annoying", "Father is urging me to find a husband again, it's so annoying"...
With this level of trouble, given Shi Xiaohan's temperament, as long as she had a good sleep, she would forget all about it when she woke up the next day - naturally not enough to help her awaken a powerful magical power.
"Perhaps what happened at Pan Xiaopeng's house and the cemetery yesterday touched her heart a lot..." Gu Xu silently guessed in his heart.
At this moment, the gorgeous fireworks illuminated Shi Xiaohan's pretty oval face, making her whole person look dazzling.
“Because after I came back from the cemetery yesterday evening, I finally understood that I must become stronger,” Shi Xiaohan clenched his fist and waved it in front of Gu Xu, “Only by becoming strong enough, Only by being stronger than Master Zheng back then can I protect the people of Yishui, my family, and you...
"And when I become strong enough, you don't need to risk your lives anymore. Practice hard - you can leave things like killing ghosts to me. ”
"Then what should I do?" Gu Xu spread his hands and joked, "If you kill all the ghosts, wouldn't I become an idler?"
"You are responsible for staying here every day. , Make cookies for me!" Shi Xiaohan looked at him and said seriously, "From morning till night, you are not allowed to go out until you finish making a box."
Hearing her words, Gu Xu smiled. Shaked his head.
Asking himself, he really wanted to just lie down and be a salty fish who didn't have to practice hard, don't have to do ghost-killing missions, didn't have to seek opportunities, and only had to make cookies every day to support himself.
Unfortunately, his fate does not allow it.
If you want to live forever, you must work hard.
But he didn't plan to tell Shi Xiaohan about his difficulties for the time being - it would be very bad if the little girl was frightened.
So he smiled and said to her: "Come on, Xiaohan! I hope you can awaken a satisfactory magical power!"
"I accept your good words!" Shi Xiaohan raised his chin, The fireworks made her clear eyes shine with a dreamy light, "Gu Xu, listen, after you break through the realm, this heroine will protect you! Whoever dares to bully you, I will chop him to death with one knife!"< br>
Gu Xu smiled and nodded.
Shi Xiaohan's words were the same as before, sounding like a joke told 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 twenty-third year of Tianxing.
It is suitable to start construction, break ground, get hairpins, get married, and travel.
Avoid breaking down the house, building a stove, enclosing the house, or raising livestock.
…………
It’s still a cloudy day.
Thick black clouds covered the sky, making people breathless.
Accompanied by the biting cold wind, Shi Xiaohan, wearing a black "Qiyao suit" and black official boots, arrived at the yamen of the Exorcism Department early.
Today, she had suppressed her usual bright smile, 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 'Mingzhitang' for a period of retreat. , trying to break through the third realm 'Naihe Bridge'."
"Mingzhitang" is a retreat place set up by Zheng Yu, the former governor of the Yishui Exorcism Department, many years ago.
If you want to enter "Mingzhi Hall", there is only one simple condition.
That is - "Mingzhi".
Under normal circumstances, every monk who enters "Mingzhi Hall" will have the firm idea of "not getting out until the situation is broken." Some people risk their lives and survive, trying to break through the bottleneck in this silent and lonely "Mingzhi Hall".
But there are also people who have been unable to find a breakthrough opportunity in "Mingzhitang" for a long time, and finally went crazy.
At this moment, Shi Xiaohan applied to enter "Mingzhi Hall", obviously making 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 forced out a smile, with some relief and some regret in his eyes, "I wish you all the best!"
"Thank you, Mr. Chen. !" Shi Xiaohan said.
Then she turned and left the lobby, walking 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, promises made next to the fireworks on your birthday are always the most effective. .
“I do what I say. ”
…………
At the same time.
Gu Xu sat by the window of the exorcism department’s library and swallowed an “Eternal Brightness Pill”. Try to recite the mantra of "Red Flame True Art" to enter the state of cultivation
However, the chilling cold wind inadvertently got into his sleeves, disrupting his mood and making him unable to calm down.
He shook his head and looked out the window.
Shi Xiaohan's petite back caught his eye.
I saw the girl wearing black clothes, with dark cloud-like black hair moving in the wind, walking towards the distance with firm steps.
Gu Xu sighed lightly.
He knew that his intuition last night was indeed correct.
Overnight, the girl grew up.
Although she still had a smile on her face.
But she is no longer the little princess who is ignorant of the world.
Sure enough, growth comes at a price.
In this cruel world, it is difficult for her to maintain her carefree innocence.
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 word in cursive script with flying dragons and phoenixes.
The content is as follows:
"Lingbo is no longer on Hengtang Road, but I see you and Fangchen go. Who will spend the golden years? The flower pavilion on the platform, the small windows and red doors, only spring knows Place.
"Flying clouds come slowly into the sky, and the colorful pen inscribes new heart-breaking sentences. How much leisure time do you have? Yichuan tobacco, the city is full of wind and rain, and plums are yellow and rainy. "(1)
Although it is winter at this time.
Thousands of trees have withered and no grass can grow.
However, when Gu Xu finished writing the last word, the "Jinghong Pen" in his hand suddenly shone brightly.
The whole Yishui County town is filled with catkins flying in the wind.
If it is late spring.
