"You can too. ”

The Demon Sect nodded sincerely, at this time, he was never stubborn, and he was indeed in a good mood at this time.

Although he still warned himself in his heart that he could not fully trust the conversation between these two people, even if he did not find the slightest deliberate element in the expressions of these two people, he was used to slowly figuring out the truth of the matter by himself, rather than relying on other people's accounts.

He had no affection for the shepherdess, but as a true lone husband, in his most difficult moments, the shepherdess, who had no conflict of interest with him, freed him from loneliness, so he naturally did not want such a person to be an enemy who deceived him.

So compared to the disappointment he had felt when he sensed the shepherdess's dry sea of qi before, he was in a good mood at this time, even if he hadn't gotten anything to replenish the true yuan by this time.

"You have to be careful. ”

The shepherdess hesitated, and she didn't insist on following the Demon Sect and the woman into the "village".

The Demon Sect thought for a moment and asked, "You once knew how to cultivate, what kind of cultivation did you have reached before, if according to what you said, if someone really came in the past two days, how high would their cultivation be?"

"To the best of my knowledge... None of us cultivators in Sin Continent have been to the Middle-earth Dynasty you are talking about. The shepherdess's face became a little more normal, and she stretched out her hand and gestured as she had done when she talked to the Demon Sect before, "I don't know what the cultivation of your Middle-earth Dynasty is divided into, but according to the realm of our Star Continent, reaching the realm of being able to control things, even if it is a top-level powerhouse." I still have a long way to go before I can reach the Imperial Realm, and there should be no more than three of the entire Star Continent that can reach the Imperial Realm now. ”

"Imperial Things?"

The Demon Sect looked at her and said, "Just like the cultivators of our Southern Dynasty and Northern Wei Dynasty, through the communication with the runes, the imperial envoy flying the sword?"

The shepherdess listened carefully, she roughly understood, nodded, and said, "Almost, it's just that we don't have the means to make what you call flying swords... We can only envoy some special artifacts that are in harmony with our own true element. ”

"That can resist things, and in our place, it is equivalent to the Heavenly Realm. The Demon Sect said calmly: "In our place, many dynasties ago, they also used this method to control the artifacts that could carry their true yuan. ”

The woman couldn't understand the words about cultivation in the conversation between the shepherdesss girl and the Demon Sect, but even she, from the calm and calm of the Demon Sect, could feel that the Demon Sect didn't seem to care about those people at all.

"The Middle-earth Dynasty has always been fascinating, and in the story of our Star Continent, many of your powerhouses in the Middle-earth Dynasty are immortal-like characters. The shepherdess looked at the Demon Sect and became a little shy, "You are swept away by the storm and you are not dead, you are so seriously injured and healed so quickly, you are also like a fairy-like character, just ......"

Speaking of this, she was afraid of being rude, so she hesitated for a moment and didn't continue.

The Demon Sect understood what she meant, smiled faintly, and said, "You said before that there will be no more than three people in the entire Star Continent who can reach the realm of imperial objects, so there should be no one who can reach such a realm among the people who have come here in the past two days?"

The shepherdess looked at him, a little confused, but nodded anyway.

"How long has it been since you've been here?" the Demon Sect asked, smiling, nodding to the humble tents.

The shepherdess didn't understand what he meant, but she said truthfully, "It's been half a year." ”

Demon Sect said: "You usually rely on some goat's milk and picked wild millet and wild fruits, as well as some things picked up by the sea, will they send you the things you need?"

The shepherdess shook her head and said, "When they come, they will bring something, and they will send some to me." ”

"Then you come with us. ”

The Demon Sect's gaze fell on those tents, and said, "They are so good at fishing here, if you eat too many of those things, you can also change the taste." ”

When the woman heard these words from the Demon Sect, her brows furrowed deeply.

But the Demon Sect didn't like nonsense, and before she could speak, he was slow but clear, ensuring that the woman could understand: "No one will joke with their lives, of course I won't, you should also understand that ordinary people from the Middle-earth Dynasty will not appear here across such a sea area, I can appear here, even in our place, and I will not be an ordinary person." Since the people you mentioned from the Star Continent are not as powerful as I thought, then don't be so careful. ”

This woman understood these words of the Demon Sect, and she also saw the confidence and majesty that the Demon Sect naturally exuded when she said these words, but the long-term fear of those people in Xingzhou still made her unable to trust this outsider.

"Even if the three people who can reach the realm of imperial objects come, there is no problem. ”

It's just that the Demon Sect doesn't want to talk nonsense with her anymore.

He had patience with the shepherdess's words, but he had little patience with the woman.

With that, he walked forward.

He stepped out of the shadows at the junction of the mountains and the sandy beach and into the sun.

The woman roared angrily behind him.

But that only meant that she was very angry, because she had no way to stop it, and soon someone in those tents saw the Demon Sect walking towards them openly, and soon there were many exclamations.

The Demon Sect looked at the panicked women, smiled, and said nothing.

Behind him there was a stern rebuke from the bow-bearing woman.

The Demon Sect understood that this woman was intimidating everyone in this village, meaning that he was a member of the Middle-earth Dynasty who was rescued by this shepherdess, and he needed to come and find some medicine to treat his injuries, and he would leave soon, but if they made a mess themselves, if those people from the Star Continent came, if they knew about it, maybe all of them would be severely punished.

The woman clearly had some prestige in the village, but was not an absolute ruler, and the vast majority of voices quickly subsided, but there were also many voices of discontent, not directed at the woman, but against the shepherdess.

The Demon Sect also roughly understood that what they meant was that the shepherd girl was a scourge, and it was not good for her to stay on the other side of the mountain, and she even provoked a foreign man.

The Demon Sect ignored the women.

Ignoring the gaze of these people, he walked into the village of simple tents on his own.

He quickly stopped in front of a tent.

This tent does not contain people.

In this village, all the camps were dilapidated and dirty, and like many of the frontiers he had walked, the more barren and difficult the place, the less harsh the living conditions of all the people were.

But the tent was clean and well covered with animal skins.

The skins came from the kind of rat beasts, a small tent, but I don't know how many skins of these small beasts were used to sew them.

From this unbearable tent, he felt the breath he needed, the smell of the aura of heaven and earth that he had not seen for a long time.

"You can't touch what's in this tent. ”

A familiar shout rang out from behind him.

The expression on Demon Sect's face did not change, and he turned around calmly and looked at the woman who walked behind him.

"This is the goods we have to pay. ”

The woman looked at him and said in an unquestioning tone: "I now know that you are not afraid of those nobles in Xingzhou, but everyone here is afraid, you will leave here if you have a way, but we will still stay here, even if those nobles in Xingzhou can't do anything with you, but they have a way to cure us." You can move everything in the rest of the tents in this place, but you can't move the things in this tent. ”

The Demon Sect glanced at the woman, smiled slightly, and said, "Yes." ”

The woman was stunned, she didn't expect the Demon Sect to answer so simply.

Of course, she didn't know what the Demon Sect was really thinking at this time, and she wasn't a cultivator, so she didn't know what the things in this tent meant to a cultivator, she just felt that this man from a foreign land seemed to know how to be polite, and it was not difficult to speak.

The Demon Sect didn't say much to her, but walked to the shepherdess's side and said softly: "You told me that everyone here is just like you, just animal husbandry... But there was some elixir in the tent, and she said they needed to deliver the goods, what was going on?"

"They have a sea otter, and they feed them with some seaweed in the sea, and those sea otters have a chance to produce a yellow wax in their stomachs. That kind of yellow wax is called Huangbao in Sin Chew. The shepherdess lowered her head, and she whispered, a little afraid to look into the eyes of the Demon Sect.

"You're a cultivator, so you knew from the beginning that they had something like this here that should be useful to me, but you didn't tell me. The Demon Sect looked at her calmly and said, "It's because you're afraid that if you tell me, I must get these things, and when the time comes, they won't be able to deal with them, and their fate will be miserable." ”

"Yes. ”

The shepherdess became sad, and she said in Nanchao dialect as much as she could: "You are very special, I know that even if you don't have these elixirs, you will be trapped on this island at most, but you will not die, but if they can't pay these things, you may die." ”

"They don't have any kindness to you, but you care so much about them. The Demon Sect looked at her with a strange gaze, "You haven't thought that if I can leave this island, maybe I can take you out of here?"

"I thought about it. The shepherdess nodded, "But I don't want them to be angry because of that." ”

The Demon Sect shook his head.

He didn't look at the tent again.

But that doesn't mean he doesn't really touch what's in the tent.

With his cultivation, if he wants to absorb the aura of heaven and earth that is close at hand, he doesn't need to go into that tent at all, and then take the contents into his hands.

Even the shepherdess girl in front of him couldn't feel that the heaven and earth aura in the tent was constantly being drawn out with the flow of qi in his body, not only some of the heaven and earth aura that those elixirs had lost on their own, but the kind of thing they called Huang Bao, the heaven and earth aura contained in the depths of the inner part was quietly being extracted by the Demon Sect, constantly condensing into silk, and constantly being drawn into his body by him.

"How did you get banished here, I want to hear your story with the man. The Demon Sect said slowly.

The shepherdess was silent for a moment.

"I don't feel like I've done anything wrong. ”

When she looked up, she was louder than ever.

She still didn't speak fast, but she spoke all in the local language.

Because of these words, she was going to say them to everyone present.

"Yes, he is a thief, but he steals things to give to the poorer, so that those in his care will not die of disease or starvation. ”

"Of course they could say that I had an unclear relationship with him, and yes, I spared the thief and often sold some of the things in the temple to him, because I also wanted to save the people he cared for. ”

When she first looked up, she didn't look at anyone, but after she said these words, she looked at everyone around her, and there was obvious anger in her voice, "Because I know very well that the temple doesn't care about the lives of those people, and the royal family doesn't care about the lives of those people." ”

"He was a thief, but if he hadn't been there to save those people, he would have been doing well. I do have a crush on him, but because I respect him first and foremost. Yes, as a saint they have chosen, I should not be at odds with him, but should the so-called saint be in the temple, do nothing, and wait until the time comes to pray for good weather, and then come out to receive the cheers and worship of the people?"

In addition to anger, there was also indescribable pain in her voice, "Shouldn't as a saint, shouldn't you take care of those who can't take care of yourself anymore?" Those royal families in Xingzhou, they can punish me, but you also look down on that thief, don't you think the same as them?"

No one responded to her.

No one in the village seemed to dare to answer her question.

Demon Sect laughed.

"Actually, you were a bit stupid. ”

He looked at the shepherdess and said slowly: "Actually, if you pretended to arrest him at that time, and did not let him go, with your identity, at most let him suffer a little, and then you as a saint, you will disclose the fate of those people he rescued, even if the temple does not want to take care of it, but for the sake of the reputation they want, maybe they will take good care of those people, and even if the temple does not care, if you say these things as a saint, maybe his sins can be spared, and some nobles with a good reputation may also rush to take care of those people." ”

The shepherdess bowed her head and said, "I'm too stupid." ”

"It's stupid. ”

The Demon Sect said: "It's just that many people will be like you, they will stick to their attitude because they feel that they are right, and many people will be like you, and they will not do anything to do it." ”

This sentence of the Demon Sect actually represents his attitude.

Just like he has always felt that good people don't live long.

He didn't feel that there was a so-called justice that had to be upheld, and he could do whatever he wanted to do.

The amount of heaven and earth aura contained in the elixir in the body of those sea beasts he had never seen before in this tent was extremely rare for the Demon Sect, and when wisps of true yuan appeared in his dry meridians, the extraction speed of heaven and earth aura in these elixirs was even faster.

As long as he was willing, he could directly drain all the heaven and earth aura in these elixirs before this conversation was over.

However, he knew that if he was any faster, he would be noticed by the shepherdess, so he just continued to inhale the heaven and earth aura in those elixirs at this very slow speed, and then continued to ask, "They abolished your cultivation and banished you here, so what did they do with that thief?"

It's a cruel question.

He knew that the problem was cruel to the shepherdess.

After his question, the shepherdess was silent for a long time.

But he was also sure that getting rid of his suffering and becoming stronger was not something to forget, but to face it, and that the shepherdess had saved him, and that he deserved something in return.

"They hanged him. ”

The shepherdess said, "Seducing a saint is a worse crime than stealing from the temple. ”

"One last question. ”

The Demon Sect looked at her and asked softly, "In this village, what do you think is more delicious?"

......

......

The bow-wielding woman and all the people in the village looked in amazement at the back of the departing Demon Sect and the shepherdess.

Because the shepherdess's words touched them a little, so after that, they stopped talking and reprimanding the shepherdesss in secret, but looking at the backs of these two people, there were countless doubts in their hearts, this foreign man seemed to be a little extraordinary, he didn't say much, but it made people feel that they could not be offended, just... He came to find medicine, but in the end he only took two air-dried sea ducks and a few fresh fish?

Is he really here looking for something to heal?

A wisp of smoke rose from the forest.

Plump sea ducks are roasted over the fire, and drops of golden oil ooze from under the fragrant duck's skin, and then drip into the charcoal fire below.

When leaving the village, the Demon Sect also brought a clay pot with him, and at this time, this clay pot was filled with some water, and some branches were supported on the water, and the fresh fish were steaming.

"We have this kind of duck on the seaside of Middle-earth, but it is bigger than this, and it doesn't taste very good, but the raw duck eggs are salted and taste very good. On the islands farther from land, there are no such ducks, only seabirds. ”

The Demon Sect patiently roasted the two sea ducks, he smelled the aroma coming from the fire, smiled and said to the shepherdess, "If it weren't for you, I would probably rather bring some dried shrimp from them than pick this kind of sea duck." ”

Seeing the Demon Sect's satisfied look, the shepherdesss suddenly became a little sad, and she said to the Demon Sect, "I'm sorry. ”

The Demon Sect glanced at her and said, "Why did you suddenly apologize to me?"

The shepherdess looked at him and plucked up her courage to say, "You didn't go back to me, you just made these things here to eat, I didn't let you take the elixir from their tent to be delivered, you found nothing in their village, so you must have waited for the arrival of the ship of the Star Continent and went on an adventure." I also know that if you must take the elixir from the tent, no one will be able to stop you. ”

"You think it's because of you that I had to wait for their ship to come, and then venture out on theirs, so you apologize to me. The Demon Sect smiled and said, "In the final analysis, you are still too kind, and this time your choice put me in danger again, in fact, it is the same as when you were too kind, and you hurt the thief and yourself." ”

Speaking of this, he paused, looked at the location of the village under the mountain forest, and said lightly: "Actually, those people have nothing to do with you, so why do you care about their lives or deaths." ”

The shepherdess was stunned.

She didn't expect the Demon Sect to say this.

It wasn't until more than a dozen breaths later that she spoke: "What you said may make sense, but I really can't care about their lives or deaths." ”

The Demon Sect waved his hand and said gently: "I don't want you to change, because there are thousands of kinds of people in this world, many people are born what kind of people they are, what kind of people they are in their lives, there are good people and bad people in this world. I say this just to make you understand that no matter what choice you make, you don't need to feel sorry for your choice anymore. What you think is right is right, and there can be no wrong. ”

The shepherdess was quiet again for a long time.

When the Demon Sect felt that the two sea ducks were almost roasted, and handed her a roasted sea duck first, she looked at the Demon Sect seriously, smiled a little shyly, and said, "You are a good person." ”

Demon Sect shook his head, he thought it was a joke, but he didn't laugh, he just replied very seriously: "Few people tell me that I am a good person. ”

......

The sea duck is indeed very fragrant, and the meat quality is beyond the expectations of the Demon Sect, and because those women are also smeared with sea salt before drying, it is not dull and tasteless.

It's just that the steamed sea fish lacks some wine, and it smells a little fishy in the Demon Sect, and he doesn't like it very much.

The shepherdess had not eaten this greasy substance for a long time, and although she thought it was delicious when she ate it, she felt a little sick afterwards, so she went to find some herbs and picked some coconut fruit and boiled it.

There is no wine, only these potions.

The Demon Sect drank some and felt that it tasted good, so he suddenly wanted to laugh and couldn't help laughing.

The shepherdess stared at him blankly, she didn't know what he was laughing at.

In her mind, the Demon Sect didn't get what she wanted, and she was a little disappointed, and she wouldn't be so happy, but looking at his smile, she was also happy.

When it was almost nightfall, the shepherdess originally wanted to prepare some leaves to spread well, but at this time, the Demon Sect asked her a serious question, "When did the spiritual famine here begin?"

"What is the Spiritual Wilderness?" the shepherdesss did not understand the meaning of the word.

"It's that the aura is starting to cut off. The Demon Sect looked at her and patiently explained: "You are a cultivator, if there is heaven and earth aura on this island, if you slowly absorb the heaven and earth aura to cultivate, you will eventually be able to practice again." It is precisely because there is no existence of heaven and earth aura here, those people will be relieved to exile you here. ”

The shepherdess understood, and she said, "I have read some records that on our islands far from the land, the aura of heaven and earth was originally thinner than that of your Middle-earth continent, and as early as four or five years ago, the aura of heaven and earth became thinner and thinner, and it was almost imperceptible. However, our cultivators in Xingzhou originally did not rely much on absorbing the spiritual energy of heaven and earth to cultivate, and relied more on the products of the sea. ”

"Four or five years ago?"

The Demon Sect nodded and said, "That seems to be slightly earlier than the beginning of the Southern Dynasty's Spirit Desolation. ”

The shepherdess didn't know how to answer.

The Demon Sect looked at her and said, "Don't bother doing anything anymore, they're here." ”

The shepherdess took a breath to reflect on what he meant, and she subconsciously stood up straight, looking towards the distant sea, where a sail shadow appeared on the sea that was about to be shrouded in darkness.

.......

A large ship ran aground on the beach with the tide.

At least for the people around Sin Continent, this is already a big ship.

The women had been looking at the vacant space on the shelves where the dried meat was drying and feeling a little distressed, but the moment they heard the strange sound and saw the outline of the big boat on the beach in the distance, their eyes were already full of fear.

They were banished here, the climate of the island was good, but there was not enough to eat, and in order to feed their stomachs and get the rest of their necessities, they had to rely on the big ships that came every once in a while.

If you upset the people on this boat, you don't need to punish them too much, but if you leave less things, they will have a hard time for the rest of the day.

More than a dozen men dressed in black jumped off the boat.

The material of their black clothes looked hard, but it seemed to be very breathable, and there was no trace of sweat in such a warm climate.

These people are all from the Sin Chew Royal Court, because the population of all the islands around Sin Chew is not large, and many of them are scattered on various islands, so the Sin Chew Royal Court does not have an army in the true sense of the Middle-earth Dynasty.

The royal court of Sin Chew relied on the Temple to govern all the islands in its territory.

These men dressed in black were priests of the temple.

They act according to the laws of the Temple, but in most parts of the Continent, they can be very competent in deciding whether the person before them has offended the Temple and violated the Holy Rule of the Temple.

So in a sense, they are the laws of Sin Chew.

When the temple priests landed, all the women in the village of simple tents gathered spontaneously on the other side of the road where they walked.

The tent, which had been well hidden, was opened, and a box of contents was carefully carried by four women.

The black-clad priests were all very dark-skinned, except for the one in the middle, who wore a black hat.

The priest in the black hat was extremely pale, almost sickly white.

He held a very short black bone staff in his right hand, and a small skull in his left hand.

The skull didn't look like it was carved from jade or other bones, but it looked like a real tiny baby skull.

I don't know how long this skull has been alive, and it seems that there is a thick layer of oil that has penetrated into the bone, making this skull yellow, but very crystalline, like topaz.

The priest, who was clearly the leader of the men, did not say anything when he saw the box carried up by the four women, but placed the small skull in his left hand in his right hand and removed the hat he was wearing.

He was thin.

He doesn't look to be in his thirties, but the hair on the top of his head is very thin, which makes his scalp look extremely white.

The contents of the box were also yellow like the skull in his hand.

As the four women carefully placed the chest on a clean spread of animal skins not far in front of them, and when they opened it, the priest's eyes showed an imperceptible look of satisfaction at the number of fist-sized pieces of yellow in the box.

However, in the next moment, his eyes narrowed, and a chill that was indescribable quickly appeared on his face.

He saw tiny cracks on the surface of the yellow thing.

"You... Want to die?"

He took a deep breath, looked at the trembling women in front of him, and said in a cold voice.

An irrepressible sound of breathing and teeth rattling sounded in front of the priests, and all the women in the village, including the woman with the bamboo bow and good marksmanship, did not know why he suddenly said such a sentence.

But he gave no explanation, and as soon as he finished speaking, the four black-clad priests had silently stepped out of his left and right flanks, and walked towards the four women in front.

The sand was soft, but there was a strange sound under their feet, as if metal was rubbing.
