While walking, Mo Zong did not feel any special feelings in his heart.
At this time, his true energy has not yet been restored, and of course he knows that every step he takes towards the unknown is dangerous. However, in this life, he has been forced to get used to taking risks, and such dangerous moments have become commonplace.
This kind of walking in his memory was similar to the time when he was chased by some practitioners related to the Guangming Holy Sect and fled all the way to Mobei in the Northern Wei Dynasty.
When he fled to Mobei, he was seriously injured. His cultivation was not strong for any Tantra sect practitioner in Mobei. At that time, in the desert of Mobei, any of those Tantric practitioners who had practiced hard for many years
Any practitioner can easily kill him.
Past experiences have only cultivated his instinct to survive in desperate situations.
He knows very well what he needs to do at this time and what kind of state of mind he needs to maintain.
The sky is clear, but there is plenty of water vapor in the mountains and forests, and crystal water droplets condense on many grass tips and leaves.
But the ground in the mountain forest does not feel damp or gloomy at all, because the ground in the mountain forest is all sandy land, and the trees in these mountains and forests are also the kind of broad-leaved trees that only grow in very hot areas. For the devil,
Zongjia is full of exotic customs. At the same time, apart from dropping some ripe fruits, these big trees don't seem to have many fallen leaves.
The Demon Sect perceived it very carefully.
For him, it is best for him to have some true energy before reaching the other side of the mountain. It does not need to be too much, at least enough to allow him to kill one or two people who can be called enemies, and then he can start from there.
Drawing strength from the corpses of those enemies, he can continue to kill no matter how many enemies there are.
It's just that these mountains and forests are extremely clean in his perception, almost like some glazed pure lands in the Buddhist holy land, not contaminated by any external vitality, not to mention the breath of death he needs.
In this mountain forest, there have been no recent battles among practitioners, and no practitioners have died.
He frowned slightly and his eyes fell on the shepherdess' cheek.
There were mottled lights and shadows falling from above, and the roads in these mountains and forests were not easy for her to walk, so there were tiny beads of sweat on her forehead, and her cheeks looked much rosier than usual.
Feeling his gaze, the shepherdess turned her head. Her eyes looked a little confused and helpless in the eyes of the Demon Sect.
"Did you find anything?"
she asked softly.
Mo Zong shrugged and turned his head away from looking at her.
He knew that his mood at this time was also a little strange.
But he knew the source of his emotions. He should judge everyone around him without any emotions, but now he really hoped that there was nothing wrong with this shepherdess.
This hope was of course a bit ridiculous to him, because this shepherdess had nothing to do with his world.
It's just that maybe he betrayed the Northern Wei Dynasty, betrayed the Southern Dynasty, and betrayed many tribesmen who were once extremely loyal to him. After truly becoming the only husband of the world's common enemy, he was injured to the point of being unable to move. This shepherdess took care of him.
He had been there for a long time, so he felt that such emotions arose in his heart.
Perhaps this shepherdess can fill the gaps in his heart?
Otherwise, a true singleton will inevitably be alone 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?
Mo Zong laughed to himself.
He also never felt that he was a good person.
Good people don't live long, this is an old saying from the Southern Dynasties, and he thinks it makes sense.
…
This island is too small, and the terrain is not complex enough. The more ordinary the landform, the less likely it is to accumulate the spiritual energy of heaven and earth to form a powerful elixir for practitioners. After climbing over the top of the mountain, feeling the wind blowing from the other end of the island
When the wind came, the Demon Sect determined that this mountain forest was a complete desert for the elixir of heaven and earth.
Not to mention it's a magical medicine, except for some small lizards and crabs, there aren't even any wild animals in this small mountain forest.
A ripe coconut fell from the tree and rolled not far in front of Mo Zong.
Mo Zong couldn't help but shook his head gently, he wanted to pick up the coconut.
However, at this moment, a faint strange sound sounded somewhere in the forest.
Mo Zong's movements were slightly slower, but he made no other reaction.
There was a pop.
An arrow accurately landed on the coconut. The coconut swayed on the ground, and the fragrant coconut juice continued to flow from the cracks in the coconut.
Heavy footsteps sounded continuously, and a woman wearing very simple clothes appeared in the sight of the Demon Sect. This woman was not tall, but very strong. She was holding a long bow. The Demon Sect paid attention.
This bow also looks a bit crude. It seems that the bow body is made of bamboo, and the bowstring seems to be made of sinew of some kind of animal or fish. But judging from the arrow just now, it seems that this is a very crude long bow.
The arrows shot are not weak.
Before the footsteps could be heard, the shepherdess beside Demon Sect had already shouted anxiously. After this woman appeared, she did not point her bow and arrow at her and Demon Sect again, but the look on her face was extremely
fierce.
She was still approaching the Demon Sect and the Shepherdess quickly, but at the same time, she was already speaking harshly.
She spoke very fast, and Mo Zong couldn't understand all her words, but he roughly guessed that she was asking the shepherdess who he was and why he appeared here with such an inexplicable person.
The shepherdess immediately began to explain. Her speech speed was also faster than when she usually talked to Mo Zong. It was just because she was used to her accent. Even though she did not mix any Southern Dynasty words at this time, Mo Zong listened.
It must be extremely clear.
She was saying that he was swept by the storm and suffered serious injuries. After being treated by her, he was just able to walk, but he had to find some medicine that was useful to him, so he came to this side of the mountain.
Although it was just such an explanation, the Demon Sect's brows furrowed slightly as he looked at the tone and expressions of both parties speaking.
If it was not for acting, it seems that this shepherdess was not allowed to climb over to this side of the mountain.
Listening to the explanation of the shepherdess, the look on the woman's face did not ease. She scolded the shepherdess a few more times, 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 completely used the dialect used by the shepherdess when talking to this woman. Listening to his words, a look of surprise flashed in the woman's eyes for an instant, and her eyes fell on
On the Demon Sect.
"Can you speak our words?" She looked at Mo Zong and asked.
Mo Zong nodded and said: "If you speak slower or repeat it a few more times, I should be able to roughly understand you."
This woman could not fully understand what Mo Zong said, but she could guess what he was talking about.
"You can't go there."
The woman's speaking speed slowed down. She looked at Mo Zong and said slowly: "She should understand that taking you there may not only harm you, but also her."
"Why?" Mo Zong's expression was very calm. He also slowed down his speech as much as possible, using words that this woman could understand as much as possible: "Even when I was in the Southern Dynasties, I had never heard of Xingzhou.
The islands in this area prohibit people from the Southern Dynasty or Northern Wei from landing. On the contrary, the big shots on your side should be happy to contact and trade with people from the Southern Dynasty and Northern Wei."
"It has nothing to do with this."
Listening to the words of the Demon Sect, the woman obviously did not have the patience of the Shepherdess. Her tone soon became a little irritated: "This is not Xingzhou, this is just the place of exile in Xingzhou. Is it possible?"
According to what you said, she saved you, and you can understand her words, she didn't tell you how she got here? She should understand that she can't save you at all. When she sees a man like you, she
The best option is to throw you into the sea."
"Why?"
Mo Zong asked again.
But this time he didn't ask the woman who had no patience anymore, but the shepherdess beside him.
The shepherdess hesitated slightly, as if she didn't know how to answer this question clearly.
The woman was already impatient and said sternly: "She was originally a saint from Xingzhou. She was exiled here because she had some unclear relationship with an ordinary man. This is the Heavenly Mother."
There were no men on the island originally. If she were exiled to that side of the island, she would not see any men. Who would have thought that a storm could bring someone like you."
The look on the shepherdess's face darkened.
Before Mo Zong vaguely guessed the meaning of this woman's words, her face had quickly darkened.
He had never seen such a look on her face before.
What he saw most was shyness. Apart from shyness, she looked very optimistic and sunny every day. There had never been such a gloomy and sentimental look on her face.
"Saint?"
The Demon Sect looked at the shepherdess and his voice became gentler, "Are you like the saints of some practicing sects who cannot have contact with men?"
The shepherdess's hands were shaking slightly, but her face became determined. She opened her mouth and wanted to speak, but the impatient woman spoke faster than she did, "I don't know which saint of yours you are talking about."
What does it mean? The saint of Xingzhou is selected from among the noble daughters of the royal family. Every year at the Sea Sacrifice Ceremony, she is required to burn incense and pray. She must remain holy. She can only have contact with men from the royal family, not ordinary men.
There is a transcendent relationship.”
The Demon Sect gradually got used to this woman's accent. He nodded and said slowly: "So it means that in our Middle-earth dynasty, princesses cannot have relationships with children from poor families."
But the woman didn't 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 said, but you should understand that you really can't go there."
Mo Zong smiled. He did not speak to the woman first. He just turned to look at the shepherdess and said, "I seem to think she is doing it for your own good, so... you can send me here."
"You..." The shepherdess was stunned. She couldn't react for a while.
"You were afraid that I would harm you too, so you stopped me and wouldn't let me pass." Mo Zong looked at the woman and said calmly: "But if you are afraid of them, you should also be afraid of me, not to mention you.
It can’t stop me.”
"What did you say?" The woman's face turned cold. She somewhat understood what the Demon Sect said.
"You can shoot me."
Mo Zong smiled and said: "If you can hurt me with your shot, I won't go. If you can't hurt me with your shot, of course I don't have to listen to you."
He spoke slowly and in more dialect, and the impatient woman understood him completely.
She looked at Mo Zong in disbelief. She slowly raised the bow and arrow in her hand, but her eyes stayed on the wooden staff Mo Zong was leaning on.
In her eyes, no matter how you look at it, Mo Zong is a patient who has not recovered from a serious injury and needs to use crutches.
Although she is not very powerful, she is already considered the best fisherman and hunter on this island.
"Don't worry."
The shepherdess was unable to speak, because before she spoke, the Demon Sect had already turned her head and whispered to her.
His look made the woman feel more and more strange, but she didn't want to back down, "Then you have to watch." She said to the Demon Sect with a cold face, and in the next moment, a sound was heard in the forest.
Arrows roar.
She didn't want Mo Zong's life, so she just shot the arrow at Mo Zong's leg.
If the leg is seriously injured, it may be difficult for the Demon Sect to leave even if he wants to.
"Duh!"
However, a soft sound reached her ears.
She saw Mo Zong raise the wooden staff in his hand.
The arrow that was already as fast as lightning in her eyes was like a moth flying very slowly, being easily knocked away by the wooden staff in the Demon Sect's hand.
"You don't need to be so polite."
Mo Zong looked at her and still smiled: "But if you still want to try again, the result should be like this."
The woman gritted her teeth. Perhaps in the Southern Dynasties, archers who had long seen the difference would never try again, but she really pulled the bow as fast as she could and shot an arrow into the Demon Sect's chest.
.
There was another soft sound.
The arrow was knocked away by the wooden stick again.
A layer of sweat appeared on the woman's forehead.
She put down the simple long bow in her hand stiffly and said slowly: "But those people from Xingzhou are much more powerful than me. The people around you should know it very well."
"You should also know that I am not an ordinary person."
Mo Zong was always too lazy to be verbose. He looked at the woman and said, "I know what you mean, but they haven't come yet. And if there is something I want where you live, then maybe I will wait until they come."
Leave before."
The woman thought for a moment and nodded slowly.
After hearing what the Demon Sect said, the shepherdess didn't speak, but just lowered her head silently.
"Follow me."
The woman turned around and led the way.
She was obviously very familiar with this mountain forest. Within half an hour of walking along a gentle mountain road, many simple tents appeared in the sight of the Demon Sect.
Those tents seemed to be made of fish skins, dead branches and other materials, and the surface was covered with some dry seaweed. They did not seem to be able to protect against wind and rain, but judging from the appearance of those tents, they must have existed on this island for a long time.
In particular, there are many marks left by firewood around the tent, which gives it a sense of age.
"The people here have all kinds of ideas, and I can't restrain them. If they find out about your relationship with her, they might tell the truth out of fear. Even if you leave, those who come will know these things.
, it will also be detrimental to her."
At the edge of the mountain forest, the woman turned to look 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. Once you find what you need, you can
