The Shijia mansion is located in the southeast of Yishui County.

This is a carved beams and embroidered pillars, the three-entry quadrangle of the eaves of Biwa and Zhu eaves, the lintel is tall, the house is open, the layout is rigorous, and it is the residence of the dignitaries at a glance.

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

Today she was resting at home, so she didn't put powder on her hair and didn't tie her hair in a bun; A green hair like ink dye, hanging down to the waist, contrasting sharply with the fair face.

She did not wear a uniform, but wore a lilac pleated jacket, revealing a pair of snow-white slender feet under the skirt, as delicate as porcelain.

"Xiao Han, what are you reading?"

At this moment, a burly middle-aged man strode into the courtyard 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, don't affect my reading?" ”

The middle-aged man immediately raised his hands, made a gesture of surrender, and said with an innocent face: "Xiao Handon't be angry, I'm just a little curious." ”

This middle-aged man is Shi Xiaohan's father, Shi Lei.

He held the position of "Thousand Households" in Laizhou Mansion, with an official rank of five grades, and he could be called a member of the town guard.

Recently, he took a few days off, so he took this opportunity to return to Yishui County to visit his precious only daughter.

It's just that 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 celebratory banquet to eat and drink, and missed countless delicious dishes.

You must know that Gu Xu's guy who slammed the door invited guests to dinner, but it was a rare thing to encounter in a hundred years.

But she didn't bother to explain it to her father.

This made Shi Lei feel uneasy all the time, not knowing what he had done wrong, and annoying his precious daughter.

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

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

"Luojing Food Treasures".

"Food Treasures" is a book that records food.

"Xiao Han, if I'm not mistaken, haven't you been researching Jiangnan cuisine recently? Why are you suddenly interested in Luo Jing's food again? Shi Lei was a little confused.

Shi Xiaohan stood up, stood barefoot on the fallen leaves of the sycamores, clasped his hands in front of his chest and replied: "Yishui, this place is too small for this woman to show her skills. I want to break through to the third realm as soon as possible, and strive to be transferred to the capital next year to participate in bigger cases and solve more ferocious ghosts. ”

"Ambitious! Worthy of being my daughter! Shi Lei immediately gave her a thumbs up, "Since you have such thoughts, my father will also help you as much as possible-"

"-Don't," Shi Xiaohan pursed his lips 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 seen as a relational who only relies on my father! This woman has to rely on her hard power to participate in the promotion assessment, and then be promoted to the capital in a dignified manner! ”

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

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. Now there are endless young geniuses, and I heard that a demon with a three-grade talent has recently emerged, and you may not be able to fight this kind of person. When it's time for you to actually take the exam, I'll have to say hello to the examiner in private.

Looking at the girl in front of him, who was getting more and more beautiful, Shi Lei was silent for a long time, and then said: "Xiaohan, I still have to discuss an important matter with you." You're seventeen now, and you're a big girl. I heard that there are many young people in the capital. When you get there, be sure to see if you like it, and my father will do everything he can to say a good thing for you—"

"-No, don't fool around." Shi Xiaohan shook his head again and interrupted him.

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

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

Looking at Shi Xiaohan's sulking appearance, a bold guess popped up in Shi Lei's heart.

"No! I didn't! Don't talk nonsense! Shi Xiaohan immediately denied it, "This heroine cares about all the people in the world, and she doesn't want to delay the love of her children!" If you don't destroy the ghosts, this woman vows not to be a family! ”

Shi Lei sighed silently.

He was in love with his late wife for many years. After the death of his wife, he never renewed the strings.

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, reluctant to scold, regarded as a treasure, and obeyed everything.

It's just that...... With his daughter's stubborn character, he felt that the Shi family might be about to cut off their children and grandchildren.

"Well, how am I going to convince her?" The Senhu Lord, who was in charge of the Laizhou Mansion, had never felt such a headache.

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

She shook off her dress, sat back on the ground, and continued to read "Luojing Food Treasures" intently.

She fantasized that when she arrived in the capital next year, she would definitely take Gu Xu to walk all over the streets and alleys and taste all the delicacies.

and then join forces to solve several big cases - Gu Xu is responsible for using her brains, and she is responsible for using knives, achieving the reputation of "Yishui Shuangxia", which makes everyone look at them with admiration.

This kind of life is very exciting just thinking about it.

…………

Three days later, the Divine Nian Spell "Eclipse" was delivered to Gu Xu's residence on time.

It's a thin booklet.

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

Gu Xu learned that the creator of this spell was a monk named Xue Jiong from the Exorcism Division a hundred years ago - because he went wrong in the process of cultivation, his meridians were broken, and he could no longer cultivate the True Yuan.

So he created his own technique of "Eclipse" and practiced his divine sense.

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

Although there may be an element of slackness in the opponent......

But this incident is enough to prove the powerful potential of the Divine Consciousness Spell.

So, Gu Xu opened the book and began to follow the steps introduced in the book to hone his divine sense.

If his previous consciousness was an unpolished stone.

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

It is also an extremely risky process.

If you are not careful, you risk causing permanent mental damage and becoming 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.

The technique of "Eclipse", he has preliminarily cultivated.
