"An opportunity to break through the Third Realm?"

Gu Xu knew that as early as October, Shi Xiaohan had already completed the second realm, and he could break through the third realm at any time.

However, according to the description in the cultivation scriptures, when a monk advances from the second realm [Huangquan Road] to the third realm [Huangquan Road], there is a certain probability of obtaining a supernatural power.

For example, Chu Fengge's "Wild Grass", Shangguan Jin's "Heavenly Calculation", Lu Shiyao's "Wise Eye", and Chen Jisheng's "Bright Moon...... All of them are of great help to their battles or cultivation.

Because Shi Xiaohan also wanted to obtain a powerful supernatural power, she had been suppressing the true yuan and had not broken through the realm for a long time.

However, there are also conditions for wanting to awaken supernatural powers.

It requires "solid foundation", "clear goals", "indomitable courage", and "strong emotional shock".

Shi Xiaohan, as the only daughter of the family and the pearl of her father's palm, has been pampered since she was a child, and she can be said to be a carefree little princess.

If you want her to find the so-called "emotional impact", it is estimated that she can only find "The Piaoxiang Building didn't open today, it's so angry", "The dessert I put in the kitchen is moldy again, it's so uncomfortable", "Gu Xu, this guy robbed me of the ghost again, it's so annoying", "My father is urging me to find a husband again, it's annoying"......

This level of trouble, with Shi Xiaohan's temperament, as long as she sleeps well, she will forget all about it when she wakes up the next day - naturally it is not enough to help her awaken a powerful supernatural power.

"Maybe it was what happened in Pan Xiaopeng's house and cemetery yesterday that touched her heart a lot......" Gu Xu silently guessed in his heart.

At this moment, the gorgeous fireworks illuminated Shi Xiaohan's pretty goose egg face, making her whole person look dazzling.

"Because after coming back from the cemetery yesterday evening, I finally understood that I had to become stronger," I saw Shi Xiaohan clenching his small fist and waving it in front of Gu Xu, "Only by becoming strong enough and stronger than Lord Zheng back then can I protect the people of Yishui, protect my family, and protect you......

"And after I become strong enough, you don't need to risk your life and cultivate desperately - you can leave things like killing ghosts to me."

"So what am I going to do?" Gu Xu spread out his hands and teased, "If you kill all the ghosts, won't I become an idler?" ”

"You're in charge of staying here every day and making cookies for me!" Shi Xiaohan looked at him and said seriously, "From morning to night, don't go out until you finish a box." ”

Hearing her words, Gu Xu shook his head with a smile.

Ask yourself, he actually really wants to lie down and make a salted fish that doesn't need to practice hard, don't have to do ghost killing tasks, don't need to seek opportunities, and only needs to make cookies every day to feed himself.

It's a pity that his life doesn't allow it.

If you want to live forever, you have to work hard.

However, he didn't plan to tell Shi Xiaohan about his distress for the time being—in case the little girl was frightened, it would be very bad.

So he smiled and said to her, "Come on, Xiaohan!" I wish you the ability to awaken a satisfactory supernatural power! ”

"Promise your good words!" Shi Xiaohan raised her chin, and the fireworks made her clear eyes shine with a dreamlike light, "Gu Xu, listen, after breaking the realm, this woman will cover you!" Whoever dares to bully you, this woman will hack him to death with one sword! ”

Gu Xu smiled and nodded.

Shi Xiaohan's words were the same as before, and they sounded like a joke on the lips of a little girl with a chivalrous dream.

But for some reason, he vaguely felt that her expression this time was much more serious than before.

…………

The fourth day of the lunar month of the twenty-third year of Tianxing.

It is advisable to start construction, break ground, crown a pipe, get married, and travel.

Do not break the house, make a stove, enter the burial, and accept livestock.

…………

It's still a cloudy day.

Heavy black clouds covered the sky, overwhelming the people.

Accompanied by the cold wind, Shi Xiaohan wore a black "Qiyao suit" and black official boots, and came to the yamen of the Exorcism Division early.

Today, she restrained her bright smile from the past, and there was no expression on her fair and pretty face.

She climbed the stone steps, crossed the threshold, stepped into the lobby, walked straight to Chen Jisheng's table, and said to him with a slight bow: "Lord Chen, I want to apply to enter the 'Ming Zhi Hall' retreat for a period of time, and try to break through the third realm 'Nai He Bridge'. ”

"Mingzhitang" is a retreat place set up by Zheng Yu, the former governor of the Yishui Exorcism Division, in the yamen many years ago.

There is only one simple condition for entering the "Mingshido".

That is, "Mingzhi".

Normally, every monk who enters the "Mingzhi Hall" will have a resolute idea that "if you don't break the realm, you won't go out".

Some people break the kettle and sink the boat, put it to death and come back to life, breaking through the bottleneck in this silent and lonely "Mingzhitang".

But there are also people who have been unable to find an opportunity to break through in the "Ming Zhi Hall" for a long time, and finally went crazy.

At this moment, Shi Xiaohan applied to enter the "Mingzhi Hall", obviously making up his mind.

"You've finally found what you're looking for?" Chen Jisheng raised his head and asked her.

Shi Xiaohan nodded seriously.

"Okay," seeing her serious expression, Chen Jisheng squeezed out a smile, with some relief and some regret in his eyes, "I wish you all the best!" ”

"Thank you, Lord Chen!" Shi Xiaohan said.

Then, she turned around and left the lobby and walked down the narrow corridor towards the "Mingzhi Hall".

There was not a moment of looking back.

"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 Great Qi Dynasty, the promise made next to the fireworks on your birthday is always the most effective. ”

…………

Meanwhile.

Gu Xu sat by the window of the Exorcism Division's library pavilion, swallowed a "Changming Pill", tried to recite the mantra of "Chiyan True Formula", and entered a state of cultivation.

However, the cold wind of slaughter inadvertently penetrated his sleeve and disturbed his mind, making him unable to calm down.

He shook his head and looked out the window.

Shi Xiaohan's petite back came into his eyes.

I saw that the girl was dressed in black, her dark black hair moved with the wind, and she was walking towards the distance with firm steps.

Gu Xu sighed softly.

He knew that his instincts last night were correct.

Overnight, the girl grew up.

Although the smile on her face is still the same.

But she is no longer the little princess who does not know the world.

Sure enough, growth comes at a price.

In this cruel world, it is difficult for her to keep that carefree innocence after all.

Thinking of this, Gu Xu took out the "Shocking Pen" from his pocket, splashed ink on the white paper in front of him, and wrote a poem in cursive script with dragons flying and phoenixes dancing.

It reads as follows:

"Ling Bo is only on Hengtang Road, but he is gone. Who is the year of Jinsehua? The platform flower pavilion, the window Zhuhu, only the spring knows.

"The flying clouds are in the twilight, and the new question of the colored pen is broken. How much leisure is there? A Sichuan tobacco, the city is full of wind and flocculents, and the plum is yellow when it rains. ”（1）

It's a cold winter.

Ten thousand trees withered, and not a single grass grows.

However, when Gu Xu finished writing the last word, the "Shocking Pen" in his hand suddenly shone brightly.

In the whole Yishui County, the catkins are flying in the wind.

If it's in late spring.
