Two years after going to Tongxuan in the upper realm, Hou Zi returned to Jincheng.
In the eyes of others, this is a new Tongxuan who is in his prime and making great progress, just like every monk at this stage. But only he knows that his current situation is far from being reborn, and is far from what he expected.
A bit far.
He still came directly to the Commander-in-Chief's Mansion, which was also what he cared about the most, as it related to his whereabouts and the cultivation environment for the next few years; it was not up to him to decide, but fortunately there was a Duwei Mansion operating in it, and he was also there.
During the period, he showed his willingness to be good to the other two governments, so no one would deliberately target him.
No one was willing to stumbling upon such a promising Tongxuan monk before he had fully established his position.
This time, Peregrine Falcon did not show up, and Hou Zi received the transfer order directly at Jingshi Hall.
"Linhai? Temporarily assigned by Guiwo Sect? What do you mean?"
The person in charge of the Jingshi Hall is an experienced senior brother Tongxuan, whose surname is Shi.
Explained, "Junior brother Hou is new to the realm, so he may not know much about the layout of the sect in the whole continent. In fact, this kind of deployment is very normal. Most of the new junior brothers will eventually go through this experience."
Hou Tzu bowed his head and said, "I was about to ask for advice."
Senior Brother Shi has a gentle temper. He is a man in charge of human affairs, so his temper should not be too strong. Otherwise, there will be fights here every three days.
"The country of Yan is the base camp of our religion, but it does not mean that all the Quanzhen monks are in the country of Yan; the lower-level disciples have no choice, they are not capable, and there are many risks when they go out, so we usually arrange them in the country. This is also
A kind of protection.
When the realm reaches the Third Realm of Tongtian, it is the stage with the most opportunities to be sent abroad. Because this period is very important for monks, going out more and seeing more and experiencing experiences is also an indispensable part of the cultivation process. When the time comes
It will be inconvenient for Jindan to leave, and monks of this level will make the local sect uneasy no matter where they go."
Hou Zi nodded, what he said is true. If the realm is too low, you will seek abuse. If you go out if the realm is too high, it will easily arouse people's suspicion. The three realms of Tongtian are just right. They have a certain ability to protect themselves and will not be too wary of the local forces.
.
"Linhai Wojiao is our ally, but this does not mean that Linhai is a place where we can do whatever we want, because this country is close to Lizhi Sea, and Lizhi Sea does not belong to Linhai country. It is an ocean shared by all countries in the southwest. The entire southwest
The Thirteen Kingdoms all have their own interests in Lizhihai, but Wojiao has a slightly larger share."
Hou Zi smiled and said: "Wojiao is very generous."
Senior Brother Shi said, "So what if it's not generous? Its own strength is limited, and the Sea Clan in Lizhihai is very powerful. It cannot be completely stopped by its Wo Cult. If a serious incident occurs, won't all the countries in the southwest have to jointly take action?"
Therefore, it is a matter of course to give up some island interests. Only when the interests are equally shared can the risks be shared. This is the rule in the world of cultivation no matter where we go."
He turned around and pointed at the library behind him, "Every year, our Quanzhen Sect sends Tongxuan monks abroad for training, maybe here or there, splendid nearly a hundred countries, haha, it's really not enough.
Junior brother went to Linhai and temporarily returned to Linhai Wo Sect for deployment. This does not only refer to my Quanzhen Sect monks, but also all experienced monks who went to Linhai, including Wu Sect, Anhe Taoist Sect, Buddhism Sect, etc.
There must be an overall arrangement, and you cannot act on your own. Relatively speaking, this kind of deployment can only be left to the host. They are familiar with the situation. There are thousands of islands offshore, and an overall plan is needed."
Hou Zi nodded, "That's how it should be."
Brother Shi explained carefully, "With the Quanzhen token and the transfer order, go to Mirage, a large coastal city in Linhai State, which is also the headquarters of the entire Lizhi Overseas Sect of monks. Find Mirage Lihai Jiedu Mansion, and then follow their arrangements.
We and Wojiao can be regarded as a magic sect alliance after all, and we will not lose our own people. Please rest assured, junior brother."
"There are several specific tasks, one is to maintain the security of the sea area, the other is to protect the interests of Quanzhen merchant ships, and the other is to declare the presence of our religion..."
He also warned carefully, "For example, missions during the Tongxuan period are divided into seven years. After the expiration of the period, if there are no special arrangements within the church, you can apply to leave or stay on your own; but during this period, you are still prohibited from returning, so , be more prepared before leaving. I estimate that once you get to the island, it will be very inconvenient for you to leave. I will explain everything behind you clearly and you will have a month to deal with your personal affairs."
Hou Ting thanked him again. Before leaving, his senior brother walked him to the door and lowered his voice, "Some words are official to maintain the overall situation, but some things I have to say in private; Wojiao is not strong enough and does not dare to offend the powerful countries in the southwest. , so when you go to the sea, there are actually not only the threats from the Li Zhihai tribe, but also the harassment of ferocious pirates, and the intrigues between various countries.
Once these people arrive at sea, they are all lawless people. Wojiao will not care about these private fights. You have to rely on yourself. Being tough is the way to survive in Lizhihai. Junior brother will understand what I mean when he gets there. mean."
Hou Ting left the Marshal's Mansion. After thinking about it, he decided to go straight to the Duwei Mansion. There was no need to hide some things. Among the three mansions, it was no secret that he preferred the Duwei Mansion.
"Have you been a little lazy in the past two years? I see that your cultivation level is not very good. Do you think you can live a peaceful life?"
Li Chuping glanced at him and discovered his problem keenly. In his impression, this guy's cultivation speed was quite fast, but he didn't expect that he had gained so much experience. His cultivation level in the past two years was only at the same time. The two-year monks were average, which is not a good sign.
Hou Zi said awkwardly: "There was a problem with the selection of exercises, but fortunately, it was finally solved recently."
Li Chuping sighed. Sure enough, it is still the case. No matter how much experience you give to these self-confident and maverick guys, they will eventually regard them as useless paper and only practice according to their own will.
I am too lazy to care about these, so I can only face my own choice, "I think the trip to Linhai is more suitable for you, because it is chaotic enough and dangerous, so we usually send those sword cultivators there with evil intentions. After so many years, , only 60% or 70% can escape unscathed, the others have been fed to the fish and turtles.
The church will not provide you with support, and the same goes for other forces. Everyone depends on their own abilities. If you are hit, lick it by yourself. If you can bully others, just bully them. I thought you would like a place like this.
But your cultivation level..."
Hou Zi did not hesitate, "There is no problem with my cultivation, and it won't always be like this."
Li Chuping nodded, he had to pull it out to see if it was a mule or a horse, and it seems that this guy can kill people even if he is not good at cultivation?
"Three Wu sect priests were killed in the Baiyanglin murder case two years ago. Was it you who did it?"
