"Er Ting is still injured and running around with you, you, you still stay in Jindu recently and don't go out, on the one hand, to avoid the limelight of the Brain Library. ”

"On the other hand, accompany Er Ting to recover from her injuries, and then you still need to precipitate your own strength, don't be like that night, you still need Er Ting's help to get out. ”

"I'm not afraid of damaging the books. ”

Shi Ren still wanted to quibble about something, but seeing Shi Zhantian's serious expression, he had no choice but to swallow his words back and follow his grandfather's wishes.

Five months later.

Shi Ren, Cheng Erting and the others finished the academy's courses and exams, and began training in a celestial master training ground of the Shi family.

After the establishment of the team, the Wei Jue team has also been exterminating the demons that have caused disaster in the entire Jin capital.

Coupled with the assistance of Yuan Shanfeng, the demonic troubles in Jindu have decreased a lot compared to before.

And the reason why it is necessary to train more is to increase the tacit understanding of the entire team.

That night, after finishing the training, Shi Ren and Cheng Erting walked on the way back to Shifu.

Along the way, Shi Ren didn't speak, but quietly thought about something.

Cheng Erting, who was next to her, saw Shi Ren's thoughtful look and said, "Are you still thinking about the whereabouts of the Vermilion Bird Stone?"

Shi Ren looked at Cheng Erting and felt a little incredible.

"How do you know?"

I saw Cheng Erting smile and said: "In the past six months, you have actually been investigating the legend about the Vermilion Bird Stone, in fact, I know it." ”

"Recently, I also found out that you are reading some information about Qilu Province, don't you have plans to go to Qilu Province recently?"

Shi Ren looked like his mind had been recognized, smiled and said, "That's right, I'm planning to go to Qilu Province." ”

"I think that only when you actually go to that place can you really feel the atmosphere at that time, and perhaps, when you go there, you can know the allusions that only the locals understand. ”

Cheng Erting sighed and said, "Okay, since you are so persistent, then I won't stop you, let's go!"

Hearing her say this, Shi Ren asked with some confusion, "Let's go, what's going on?"

"Of course it's going to Qilu Province, stupid, I'll go with you. ”

"But ......"

"What? Are you still planning to go alone? Now that the academy exams are almost over, and my injuries have recovered, I went with you this time to investigate the news. ”

"It's not like you're going to fight, it's going to be fine, besides, every time you encounter difficulties, I'll help you out, and you'll be miserable without me. ”

Listening to Cheng Erting's words, Shi Ren couldn't say anything, so he could only nod.

"Okay, then let a few of them stay in Jindu, you and I will go to Qilu Province together, and we will leave tomorrow. ”

The next day, Cheng Erting packed her things early and waited at the door of Shi Ren's room.

It wasn't until Shi Ren explained all the things to Liang Chao that he met with Cheng Erting and left Shifu.

Sitting in the carriage, Shi Ren was still looking at the information about Qilu Province that he had investigated before.

Qilu Province is located in the eastern coastal area of China, and the purpose of their trip is to go to Penglai County on the coast of Qilu Province.

It is rumored that here, you can see Penglai, one of the three immortal mountains in the far sea, so it is named Penglai County.

Not only that, this is also the place where Xu Fu went to sea back then, and it is here that all the legends about Xu Fu are most concentrated.

Just when Shi Ren was about to turn a page of the book, he happened to see Cheng Erting, who was sitting next to him, holding his chin with his hand and looking at him seriously.

"Uh, do I have something on my face?"

Cheng Erting shook her head and said, "I'm wondering, when did you explain to me that when Guo Chaofan attacked Shi Fu, why did I feel a trace of your spiritual power in my eyes for a moment?"

was suddenly asked by her, and Shi Ren was also a little caught off guard.

"This, it took half a year for you to ask, you are really a stupid dog!"

Cheng Erting glanced at him and said, "After that battle, I was injured, and I was busy exterminating the demons in Jindu later, do you think we have time to talk about it?" I thought you would take the initiative to say it." ”

Shi Ren smiled bitterly.

Indeed, she has been busy lately, and she has been obsessed with investigating the whereabouts of the Vermilion Bird Stone, so she didn't give her a reasonable explanation.

"Well, it's actually nothing, that's the ability of my eye of reincarnation, a kind of warlock that imitates illusion magic, called Mirage, and Mirage This illusion can be applied to a person. ”

"When the surroundings satisfy the illusion to activate, it will appear on that person and play a protective role in protecting this person. ”

"Oh, when did you get this ability? I remember, this illusion must have been set for me before you went to the basement of the Jin Ancestral Hall, right?"

Shi Ren picked at his face, his mind spun quickly, trying to find some reason to come out.

After all, the ability of the eye of reincarnation was taught to him by his master Guo Qizhong, who had never made it public.

When Guo Qizhong left, he told himself that he couldn't tell anyone about his existence, even the person he loved the most.

Therefore, he can't tell Cheng Erting this secret for the time being.

So, he said: "Silly dog, I don't want to lie to you, I do have something unspeakable about the origin of this technique. ”

Seeing that Shi Ren was a little embarrassed, Cheng Erting didn't ask any more.

She knew Shiren's temper, and if he wanted to tell himself, he would say it himself.

It's just that when Shi Ren thought of this, he inexplicably felt that the name Guo Qizhong was always a little similar to Guo Qiyu.

More than once or twice, he guessed like this, could it be that this Guo Qizhong would be......

Shaking his head slightly, Shi Ren tried not to let himself think about these things.

After about five hours of riding in the carriage, they finally arrived at Penglai County in Qilu Province.

As soon as they got out of the carriage, the two of them clearly felt a warm sea breeze blowing towards them.

It's the height of summer, and the sea breeze is blowing, making them feel extra comfortable all over their bodies.

The two of them carried their luggage on their backs, found an inn, and stayed temporarily.

Early the next morning, after the two of them came out, Cheng Erting looked at Shi Ren and said, "Where should we go next?"

"Go to a village on the coast called Sanxian Village, I have a friend waiting there, let's go. ”

"Friend?" Cheng Erting glanced at Shi Ren with some confusion.

However, Shi Ren didn't say anything, and after taking her directly into a carriage, he began to drive towards Sanxian Village.

The carriage traveled for about half an hour, and soon came to Sanxian Village.
