Chapter 169: Heavenly Mother Island

During the walk, the Demon Sect did not have any special feelings in his heart.

At this time, he has not recovered, of course, he knows that every step he takes towards the unknown is dangerous, but in this life, he is forced to get used to taking risks, and such dangerous moments have become commonplace.

In his memory, this kind of walking was similar to when he was chased and killed by some cultivators related to the Bright Holy Sect and fled all the way to the Northern Wei Dynasty.

When he fled to Mobei, he was also seriously injured, and his cultivation was not strong for any Tantric sect cultivator in Mobei, and in the desert of Mobei at that time, any cultivator who had been practicing Tantric asceticism for many years could easily kill him.

Past experience has only cultivated his instinct to survive in desperate situations.

He knew very well what he needed to do at such a time and what kind of state of mind he needed to maintain.

The sky was clear, but there was plenty of moisture in the mountains and forests, and many grass tips and leaves were condensed with crystal droplets.

But the ground in the mountains and forests does not have the slightest feeling of humidity and gloom, because the ground in the mountains and forests is sandy, and the trees in these mountains and forests are also broad-leaved trees that can only grow in very hot areas, which are full of exotic customs for the Demon Sect, and at the same time, these big trees do not seem to have many fallen leaves except for some ripe fruits.

The Demon Sect sensed it extremely carefully.

As far as he is concerned, it is better for him to have some True Yuan power before he reaches the other side of the mountain, not too much, at least enough for him to kill one or two people who can be called enemies, and then he can draw strength from the corpses of those enemies, and no matter how many enemies he has, he can keep killing.

It's just that these mountains and forests are extremely clean in his perception, almost like some glazed pure lands in the holy land of Buddhism, untainted with any foreign vitality, not to mention the death breath he needs.

In this mountain forest, there have been no cultivators fighting recently, let alone any cultivators dying.

He frowned slightly, and his gaze fell on the shepherdess's cheek.

There were dappled lights and shadows spilling from above, and these mountain and forest roads were not easy for her to walk, so there were fine beads of sweat on her forehead, and her cheeks looked much more rosy than usual.

Sensing his gaze, the shepherdesss turned her head, her gaze looking a little confused and helpless in the eyes of the Demon Sect at this time.

"Did you find anything?"

She asked softly.

Demon Sect shrugged, and he turned his head away from her.

He knew that his mood at this time was also a little weird.

But he knew the root of his emotions, and he should judge everyone around him without emotion, but he now hoped that there was nothing wrong with the shepherdess.

This hope was of course a little ridiculous to him, because the shepherdesss had nothing to do with his world in the first place.

It's just that maybe he betrayed the Northern Wei Dynasty, betrayed the Southern Dynasty, betrayed many subordinates who were once extremely loyal to him, and after becoming the only husband who really became the enemy of the world, he was seriously injured and couldn't move, and this shepherdesss took care of him for a long time, so he felt that such emotions would arise in his heart.

Perhaps the shepherdess will be able to fill in the gaps in his heart?

Otherwise, a real lone husband will inevitably be lonely and lonely sometimes?

Or is it that no matter how bad a person is, sometimes he hopes that what he encounters is innocence and beauty?

The Demon Sect smiled self-deprecatingly.

He also never felt like a good person.

Good people don't live long, this is an old saying in the Southern Dynasty, and he thinks it makes sense.

......

This island is too small, and the terrain is not complex enough, the more ordinary the terrain is, the more impossible it is to accumulate the aura of heaven and earth to form a powerful elixir for cultivators, when he climbed over the top of the mountain and felt the wind blowing from the other end of the island, the Demon Sect determined that this mountain forest was a real desert for the elixir of heaven and earth.

Not to mention the elixir, except for some small lizards and crabs, there are not even any wild beasts in this small mountain forest.

A ripe coconut fruit fell from the tree and rolled not far in front of the Demon Sect.

The Demon Sect couldn't help but shake his head slightly, he wanted to pick up the coconut fruit.

However, at this moment, a faint strange sound sounded somewhere in the mountains and forests.

Demon Sect's movements slowed slightly, but he didn't react otherwise.

Poof.

An arrow landed precisely on the coconut fruit, and the coconut fruit shook on the ground, and the fragrant smell of coconut water continued to flow out of the cracks of the coconut fruit.

Heavy footsteps sounded continuously, and a woman in very simple clothes appeared in the sight of the Demon Sect, this woman was not tall, but very strong, she was holding a longbow, the Demon Sect noticed that the bow also looked a little simple, it seemed that the bow body was a bamboo fetus, and the bowstring also seemed to be the tendon of some kind of beast or fish, but from the arrow just now, the arrow power of this very simple longbow was not weak.

Before the footsteps sounded, the shepherd girl beside the Demon Sect had already shouted anxiously, and the woman did not point her bow and arrow at her and the Demon Sect after she appeared, but the look on her face was extremely fierce.

She was still walking briskly towards the Demon Sect and the Shepherdess, but at the same time, she was already speaking loudly.

Her speech was fast, and the Demon Sect couldn't understand all her words, but she roughly guessed that she was questioning the shepherdesss who he was and why he appeared here with such an inexplicable person.

The shepherdess immediately began to explain, and her words were speaking faster than when she usually talked to the Demon Sect, but I don't know if she was used to hearing her accent, even if she didn't have any Southern Dynasty words at this time, the Demon Sect heard it very clearly.

She said that he had been swept by the storm and had been badly injured, and that he had only been able to walk after being treated by her, but that he had to find some medicine that would work for him, so he had to climb to this side of the mountain.

Although it was only such an explanation, looking at the tone and look of the two sides when they spoke, the Demon Sect's brows furrowed a little deeper.

If it weren't for acting, the shepherdesss wouldn't seem to be allowed to climb over to this side of the mountain.

Listening to the shepherdess's explanation, the look on the woman's face did not soften, and she scolded the shepherdesss a few more words, but the Demon Sect did not understand a word this time.

He turned to look at the shepherdess and asked, "What did she say?"

When he said this, he was completely in the local language that the shepherdesss used to talk to the woman, and when she heard his words, a look of surprise flashed in the woman's eyes, and her gaze fell on the Demon Sect.

"What would you say about us?" she asked, looking at the Demon Sect.

The Demon Sect nodded and said, "If you speak more slowly, or repeat it a few more times, I should be able to understand it roughly." ”

The woman couldn't fully understand the Demon Sect's words, but she could guess what he was saying.

"You can't go over. ”

The woman's speech slowed down, she looked at the Demon Sect, and said slowly: "She herself should understand that taking you over may not only harm you, but also harm her." ”

"Why?" Demon Sect's expression was very calm, and he slowed down his speech as much as he could, and said in words that the woman could understand, "Even when I was in the Southern Dynasty, I had never heard that the islands in this area of Xingzhou were forbidden for people from the Southern Dynasty or the Northern Wei Dynasty to land. On the contrary, the bigwigs on your side should be happy to come into contact and trade with the people of the Southern and Northern Wei dynasties. ”

"It has nothing to do with this. ”

This woman listened to the words of the Demon Sect, she obviously did not have the patience of the shepherdess, and her tone quickly became more irritated: "This is not Xingzhou, this is just the exile of Xingzhou, is it according to what you said, she saved you, and you can understand her words, she didn't tell you how she came here? She should understand herself, she can't save you at all, seeing a man like you, her best choice is to throw you into the sea." ”

"Why?"

The Demon Sect asked again.

Only this time he did not ask the woman, who had little patience, but the shepherdess beside him.

The shepherdess hesitated slightly, as if she did not know how to answer the question clearly.

The woman was already impatient, and said sharply: "She was originally the saintess of Xingzhou, and it was because she had some unclear relationships with ordinary men that she was exiled here, this is Tianmu Island, there were no men on the island, and if she was exiled on the other side of the island, she would not see any man, who would have thought that the storm could blow a person like you." ”

The look on the shepherdess' face darkened.

Before the Demon Sect could vaguely guess the meaning of the woman's words, her face had quickly darkened.

He had never seen such a look on her face before.

What he saw the most was shyness, and in addition to shyness, she seemed very optimistic and sunny every day, and her face never had such a gloomy and sentimental look.

"Holy Maiden?"

The Demon Sect looked at the shepherdess, and his voice became softer, "Isn't it like the holy women of some cultivation sects, can't they come into contact with men?"

The shepherdess's hands trembled slightly, but her face became resolute, she wanted to speak, but the impatient woman spoke faster than her, "I don't know what you mean by what you say, the saint of Xingzhou is chosen from among the nobles of the royal family, and she needs to burn incense and pray for the annual sea sacrifice ceremony, she must remain holy, she can only contact with the men of the royal family, and cannot have a relationship with ordinary men." ”

The Demon Sect gradually got used to this woman's accent, he nodded, and said slowly: "So the meaning is the same as in our Middle-earth dynasty, the princess can't have a relationship with the children of poor families. ”

But the woman did not understand what he said.

She just took a deep breath, raised her head, looked at him and the shepherdess, and said, "I don't understand what you say, but you should understand that you really can't go over." ”

Demon Sect smiled, he didn't talk to the woman first, just turned to look at the shepherdesss and said, "I seem to think she's doing it for your good, so... You should be able to send me here. ”

"You ......" The shepherdesss was stunned, she couldn't react for a moment.

"You're afraid that I'll also affect you when the time comes, so you're holding me back. The Demon Sect looked at the woman and said calmly: "It's just that if you are afraid of them, you should also be afraid of me, not to mention that you can't stop me." ”

"What did you say?" the woman's face turned cold, and she somewhat understood the words of the Demon Sect.

"You can shoot me with an arrow. ”

The Demon Sect smiled and said, "If you shoot me, I won't go, if you can't shoot me, of course I don't have to listen to you." ”

He spoke slowly, and in more vernacular, and the impatient woman understood perfectly.

She looked at the Demon Sect in disbelief, the bow and arrow in her hand slowly raised, but her gaze stayed on the wooden staff that the Demon Sect was holding.

In her eyes, no matter how she looked at it, the Demon Sect was a patient with a serious injury that had not healed and needed to be on crutches.

Although she is not very powerful, she is already the best fisherman and hunter on this island.

"Don't worry. ”

The shepherdess was not able to speak, because before she could speak, the Demon Sect had already turned her head and whispered to her.

His look made the woman's heart feel more and more strange, but she didn't want to back down, "Then you have a good look." She said to the Demon Sect with a cold face, and in the next moment, an arrow rang out in the woodland.

She didn't want the Demon Sect's life, so she just shot this arrow at the Demon Sect's leg.

If the leg is severely injured, the Demon Sect will probably be difficult to leave even if it wants to.

"Duh!"

However, a soft sound reached her ear.

She saw the Demon Sect raise the wooden staff in her hand.

The arrow, which was already as fast as lightning in her eyes, was like a slow-flying moth, easily knocked out by the wooden staff in the Demon Sect's hand.

"You don't need to be so polite. ”

The Demon Sect looked at her, still smiling, "But if you want to try again, it should be the result." ”

The woman gritted her teeth, maybe in the Southern Dynasty, the archer who had long seen the gap would definitely not try again, but she really pulled the bow as fast as she could, and shot another arrow at the chest of the Demon Sect.

There was another soft sound.

The arrow was struck out again by the staff.

A bead of sweat appeared on the woman's forehead.

She put down the simple longbow in her hand with some stiff movements, and said slowly: "But those people from Xingzhou are much more powerful than me. It should be clear to the people around you. ”

"You should also know that I'm not an ordinary person. ”

The Demon Sect had never been too lazy to ramble, he looked at the woman and said, "I know what you mean, but they haven't come yet, and if there's something I want from where you live, then maybe I'll leave before they come." ”

The woman thought for a moment, and she nodded slowly.

Listening to the words of the Demon Sect, the shepherdess did not speak, but lowered her head silently.

"Follow me. ”

The woman turned and led the way.

She was obviously very familiar with this mountain forest, and after walking along a gentle mountain path for less than half an hour, many simple tents appeared in the Demon Sect's sight.

Those tents seem to have been built with fish skins, dead branches, etc., and the surface is covered with some dry seaweed, which does not seem to be able to shelter from the wind and rain, but judging by the appearance of those tents, they should have existed on this island for a long time.

In particular, the traces left by a lot of firewood around the tent have the smell of years.

"These people have all kinds of ideas, and I can't restrain them, if they find out about your relationship with her, maybe out of fear, they will tell the truth, and even if you leave, the people who come know these things will be bad for her. ”

At the edge of the mountain forest, the woman turned her head and looked at the Demon Sect seriously and said, "So if you want to find something useful, it's best to go with me and not be discovered." You find what you need and you can leave. ”
