The white lady poured him a glass of wine and spoke softly.
Hou Zi picked up the wine glass and drank it all in one gulp. He had nothing to hide from this woman. There were some things he had been holding back in his heart, so it would be more comfortable to talk about them.
"I can't talk about it, it's a very complicated feeling... Let's put it this way, if I want to return to the previous state, the same flying sword, it might be easier. I am sure that I can do it within five years... but I am not willing to do so. , because I want to try a new way of raising swords that can solve the shortcomings that have been bothering me, but this is a new field for me. I don’t know how much time it will take, or even whether I can succeed. …”
The white lady sighed, "You are already the true successor of the zodiac sign. Didn't you say that you are not afraid of any true zodiac sign? Then, why do you want to change? Wasn't the past good?"
Hou Zi poured himself another glass, "In the journey of spiritual practice, there is no best, only better. If I were an easily satisfied person, I would still be smelling fish in the Lizhi Sea. What is the true transmission of zodiac signs? I have never been To set the goal to be on the same level as them, I am..."
"Tian Wai?" The white lady knows her men's temperament very well. She doesn't understand why men always set their goals so high for Xiaoxiu like them? Even higher than the upper limit of this world?
Of course she didn't know about the Soul Realm, let alone Sword One, Two, and Three. It was these existences that gave Hou Zi a great sense of oppression from beginning to end, and as the realm got higher, this feeling became stronger.
"Tianwai!" Hou Zi nodded, "You should know that among the three realms after entering the road, the Tongtian realm is the most important period for laying the foundation, especially for us sword cultivators, it is extremely important, because flying Once the sword is formed, it is extremely difficult to change it, so we don’t strive for perfection, but we seek to have no flaws.”
"So for the sake of a flawless foundation, you simply destroyed your flying sword and started over?"
"It's not entirely voluntary, but I can't get past that point, so I took the gamble; I have to thank a few old guys for being generous and agreeing to my proposal to destroy the flying sword. If they want to eliminate my magic power, Then you will definitely not be able to recover in these twenty years."
"Is it worth it?"
"If you can become stronger, it's worth it."
Speaking of which, when the real people finally convicted him, Hai Zhenzhen got in touch with him through a very special way of communication and showed his cards to him.
These infant transformation ancestors did not want to give up this opportunity to change the selection method of true successors, so they had no choice but to wrong him.
Two options, choose one from the two, take one on each side.
Either he maintains his qualifications as a true disciple, then he will not be punished. This battle will be treated as a normal duel between fellow disciples. If he is lightly punished, he will not be too dissatisfied. After all, at that time Everyone saw the situation. Hou Zi was provoking, but Duan Wuqian was equally rampant.
As a result, the conservatives maintained the tradition, while the reformists preserved the people.
Either Hou Zi will be severely punished and his qualifications for the true inheritance will be renegotiated.
What Haizhenren meant was that he hoped that he would personally obey the interests of Taoism, sacrifice his small self, and fulfill the greater self; the only thing they could guarantee was that they could probably choose how to punish him.
The crime would not lead to death, or he would destroy his cultivation, or he would destroy the flying sword... He chose to destroy the flying sword.
He does not think that he has been wronged. If he wants to achieve his goal, he must pay the price and expect others to protect him at all times, just like he protects his own son. This is not the style of the cultivation world.
If Duan Wuqian is killed in public, he must accept it. This is the rule.
A few real people can give him some advice before making a decision, which is a kind of respect in itself; I was too lazy to meet him before, but now I have a preliminary impression of him, which is the beginning of everything.
He is not so naive if he hopes to connect this line through family ties like Hai Xixi's, and Hai Zhenren is not so superficial either.
There is no selfless devotion from the elders to the younger ones like in the mortal world. Real people may turn their thoughts towards him after taking care of themselves and protecting the orthodoxy. This is what is called favor in the world of cultivation.
If you want to be respected by others, you have to prove your worth first. He proved it, so real people will ask: Do you want to relax your skills and cultivate your skills? Or do you want to destroy the sword and start over?
This is the cruelty of this world of cultivation.
He is not strong enough!
"Hou Lang, I only have less than twenty years left."
What can you do in twenty years? For ordinary people, you can do a lot of things, but for practitioners in the Tongtian realm, it is a very embarrassing period of time; it is not long enough to arrange a major change of direction; it is not short enough to be ignored or ignored. .
The white lady looked at him tenderly, "Hou Lang, if you haven't practiced anything, what kind of status will you have in the zodiac circle based on your current abilities?"
Hou Zi smiled bitterly, "Being at the bottom, the difference in strength will not be too big, but if a battle breaks out, I will be passive due to lack of means, and it will be difficult for me to pose a threat to others. Even my death struggle will appear weak.
This situation may be acceptable to others, but I have a lot of enemies and they miss me very much."
"What if Hou Lang you pick up the original flying sword?"
"Basically, the current level of strength is standing still. It may be the first level in the true biography of the zodiac, but it does not have the ability to crush others. It will be very difficult to defeat others. If there are too many people, you have to run away. I probably can't protect myself. questionable."
"What if, if it's Hou Lang, you want to change the direction?"
"In this case, I probably won't pay attention to the characters in Splendid Continent anymore..."
White Snake then understands that for her man, there is no need to guess what choice he makes.
"Actually, Hou Lang has already made his choice. When you asked for the self-destructing flying sword, you had already made your decision, right?
The problem now is how to race against time. I don’t know how to run, but I do know that I can’t run half-heartedly.”
Hou Ting held her hand. How could he not understand this? He was just anxious to get approval from others. As the woman said, he had already made a decision.
"Thank you. In fact, the situation is not that bad. There are only two results, either to fulfill my dream or to fulfill your wish..."
The White Snake smiled tenderly, "Then I still hope that my wish can be fulfilled. I will no longer participate in the disputes on the mainland and live an ordinary life. Wouldn't it be great?"
Of course she hopes this. If he doesn't stand out, he won't become the focus of the mainland. As time goes by, people will gradually forget about him and become a small wave in the history of cultivation in the mainland, living a dull life...
But she knew that this was not what the man wanted, so she still put forward the only suggestion she could think of,
"I think, Hou Lang, have you forgotten something? Gusou once told you that there has never been a strange stone orchid planted in this yard. What he actually meant was that he wanted you to try it.
I don’t know what this has to do with you refining your sword, but if they are both farming, can growing swords in Zi Mansion and cultivating orchids in the yard be seen together?”
