A few months later, that is, one year after the outside world had passed, Hou Zi and Shui Zhendong returned home.
He needs to be alone to think about some things, and staying with Yue Duo is too stressful. He feels that he has lost his normal mind, which is not good for his practice.
He still didn't understand the differentiation of sword light, Yue Duo didn't laugh at him, and you can't deny a person based on this in the journey of cultivation.
In fact, during this period of sword training, Hou Zi gradually became familiar with the three-character sword technique of "All Soldiers Fighting". The gap between them in the real fight between two people has not been greatly widened. If you consider that he still has a few small trump cards, this The gap will be even smaller.
But in the differentiation of sword light that Qingkong Sword Meridian is best at, he really couldn't make any progress.
If a person has no faith, he cannot stand. Since it has been agreed that the outside world will last for one year, it is not easy for him to stalk him, and if he does not solve the problem of sword-light differentiation, he really can't talk about learning anything else.
Shui Zhendong went back with him because it was difficult for her and Yue Duo to look at each other. When such an inexplicable gap occurs between women, it is basically unsolvable because there is no reason to explain.
Yue Duo will continue to travel around the Nineteen Islands of Hell Star. She talks about investigating how many female agents have sneaked into the Anchor Chain Galaxy, but Hou Zi knows that she has no interest in the Nineteenth Island, which is the innate spirit. Bao is more interested.
These upper realm monks are so courageous. Maybe innate spiritual treasures are nothing in their respective realms, right? "Are you worried? Is it because your practice is not going well?" Shuizhendong's observation was very detailed.
"Practice has never gone smoothly." Hou Zi smiled bitterly, "This has become a part of my life and I am accustomed to it."
Shuizhendong said softly: "It's everyone's daily life, but it manifests itself in different aspects." Hou Zi was startled, and then suddenly realized, yes, if you want to say it's not going well, who can compare to the three-dong monk in front of you? He was thrown here casually by the senior management without even a word of warning.
There is only one kind of happiness, but there are endless disasters.
Shuizhendong really wanted to help this friend, because if it weren't for him, he wouldn't be in a miserable situation now.
"One time, the true gentleman from the sect was giving a lecture to us, and he once said that no matter what difficulties you encounter in the process of practice, they can actually be solved through the method of the Tao; you can't solve it just because you don't know the Tao yet. learn.
When you reach a new level, you will find that many problems are not problems at all, but a matter of vision.
I don’t know what kind of avenue you are building, but if you must solve something, it’s always right to approach the avenue; you may not be able to solve it right away, but at least you won’t make a fatal mistake.”
Hou Zi thought for a long time and sighed: "Maybe you are right."
They returned to Shiqi Island. What impressed the inmates was that it was his senior sister who was looking for him, but what she brought back was another woman. She didn't see anything special. Why is he so popular with women?
After settling down in the valley, Hou Zi reminded her, "The next round of trials will begin soon. I don't know what you will encounter, but on Hell Planet, this is a hurdle that cannot be avoided."
Shuizhendong nodded silently, she had already looked away, "Since you were lucky enough to survive the last trial, I have made money every day, so you don't have to worry."
The world goes round, and after nearly half a year's rest, they will start a new round of challenges. What Shuizhendong didn't expect was that this time she would take on the trial mission as a hell star criminal cultivator, and she didn't know if she had any points. Are rewards available?
She had something stuck in her heart, and she had noticed something over the past few months. Of course, it was also because Hou Zi and Yue Duo didn't hide it.
"You and your senior sister, well, I don't think you really look like senior sisters and brothers? Are you really a criminal cultivator here? You don't have to answer my question, I'm just a little curious."
Hou Zihun didn't care. The entire Mischain Galaxy knew about it and he sent people to kill them. What did he have to hide?
"Good eyesight, there are twelve people, not far away from Star Void, who came here just to help a star field in this universe. Of course, it may be to control or influence, but they failed..."
After listening to Hou Zi's story, Shuizhendong was surprised.
, she didn’t expect that she would be involved in such a big game of chess.
"So, you were actually wronged? Why don't you explain? Why don't you do something?"
Hou 茑一哂, "Who should I explain to? Who should I complain to? Will anyone listen? Who will care? Like you, we are just pawns in the tide, or insignificant pawns. The superiors will not care who is wronged. , who paid a price he shouldn't have paid, they only want a result."
Shuizhendong was a little silent, "You don't care?"
Hou Zi just laughed, "How could I not care? But I must pretend not to care, until one day I become a slightly more important chess piece, and they have to consider whether it is worth it when exchanging the pieces? And then Becoming a general in a chess game, one move can move the whole body; and finally becoming a player playing chess, this is probably the motivation for my practice."
Shuizhendong sighed, "It seems that I shouldn't be too serious. They can't completely control the candidates when selecting people. I may have appeared in the wrong place at the wrong time. If I have to choose candidates, That's definitely not me, because I'm not even a chess piece now, just a fallen leaf that gets thrown into the chess game."
Hou Zi nodded, "That's right if you think so. You won't have too many complaints in your heart. You have to know that such a mood can't affect any process, it can only affect yourself. Why don't you look at it a little bit? At least you Now you have changed from a fallen leaf to a chess piece, and this is progress. Believe it or not, your trial will go extremely smoothly this time, and your opponents will be defeated by you, no matter whether they are strong or weak."
Shuizhendong understood, "You mean, they will convey the mission to me?"
"That's necessary, because you have become a pawn, you have to know what you should do?"
Shui Zhendong stroked her hair gently. Her current mood was no longer as resentful as when she first came in. After all, she was old and had her own way of thinking.
"Why trust me? Help me?"
Hou Zi shrugged, "Maybe it's just because you are a good person? There are not many good people in the world of cultivation now, but I also have advice for you: good people never know how bad bad people are, and bad people never know how good people are. Well, sometimes the gap between people is really bigger than the gap between people and dogs. And whether they are good people or bad people, they all have a common reason for acting, for the sake of the great road."
