The shepherdess was silent for a moment.

"I feel like I didn't do anything wrong."

When she raised her head, her voice was louder than ever before.

She still spoke slowly, but all she spoke was the local dialect.

Because she wanted to tell everyone present these words.

"Yes, he is a thief, but he steals things to give to the poorer people, so that the people he takes care of will not die of illness or starvation."

"Of course they can say that I have an unclear relationship with him. Yes, I let the thief go, and often gave him some things in the temple to sell, because I also wanted to save the things he took care of.

people."

When she raised her head at first, 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 the temple very well.

They don’t care about the life and death of those people, and those royal families don’t care about the life and death of those people either.”

"He is indeed a thief, but if he had not saved those people, he could have lived a good life. I do love him, but because I respect what he did first. Yes, I was selected by them.

I shouldn’t be unclear about the saint, but the so-called saint should live in the temple, do nothing, and then wait for the time to pray for good weather, and then come out to accept the cheers and worship of the people.

?”

In her voice, in addition to anger, there was also unspeakable pain, "As a saint, shouldn't I take care of those who can no longer take care of themselves? Those royal families in Xingzhou, they can cure me.

Sin, but you also look down on that thief, do you think the same as them?"

No one responded to her.

It seemed that no one in this village dared to answer her question.

Mo Zong laughed.

"Actually, you were a little stupid back then."

He looked at the shepherdess and said slowly: "Actually, if you had arrested him on false pretenses, you would not have let him go. With your identity, you would have made him suffer a little bit at most. Then, as a saint, you would have exposed him to the public."

Even if the temple doesn't want to care about the fate of the people they rescue, for the sake of the reputation they want, they may take good care of those people. And even if the temple doesn't care, as a saint, you can tell these things.

Maybe his sins can be forgiven, and some noble people who want a good reputation may rush to take care of those people."

The shepherdess lowered his head and said, "I am too stupid."

"It's too stupid."

Mo Zong said: "It's just that many people will be like you and will stick to their own attitude because of what they think is right. Many people will be like you and will not resort to any means."

Mo Zong's words actually represent his attitude.

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

He doesn't feel that there is any so-called justice that must be upheld. In order to accomplish what he wants to accomplish, he will do whatever it takes.

The elixirs in this tent were transformed from the bodies of sea beasts that he had never seen before. The amount of heaven and earth spiritual energy contained in them was extremely rare for the Demon Sect. When traces of true energy appeared in his dry meridians, for these

The spiritual energy of heaven and earth in the elixir is drawn faster.

As long as he is willing, he can directly drain all the spiritual energy of heaven and earth from these elixirs before the end of this conversation.

However, he knew that if he went any faster, he would be noticed by the shepherdess, so he just continued to suck in the spiritual energy of heaven and earth in those elixirs at this very slow speed, and then asked: "They have abolished your cultivation.

, banished you here, how did you deal with the thief?"

This is a cruel question.

He knew that this question was cruel to the shepherdess.

After he asked this question, the shepherdess was silent for a long time.

But he is also certain that getting rid of pain and becoming stronger does not rely on forgetting, but must face it. The Shepherdess saved him, and he should do something in return.

"They hanged him."

The shepherdess said: "Seducing a saint is a more serious crime than stealing from the temple."

"Last question."

Mo Zong looked at her and asked softly: "Is there anything in this village that you think is more delicious?"

…

…

The woman holding the bow and everyone in the village looked at the backs of the demon sect and the shepherdess leaving in great surprise.

Because the words of the Shepherdess touched them a little, they stopped secretly discussing and reprimanding the Shepherdess. However, looking at the backs of the two people, countless doubts arose in their hearts. This foreign land

The man seemed a bit extraordinary. He didn't speak much, but it made people feel that he couldn't be offended. It's just that... he came to find medicine, but in the end he only took away two dried sea ducks and a few fresh fish?

Did he really come here to find something to heal his wounds?

A wisp of smoke emerged from the mountain forest.

The plump sea duck is roasted on the fire, and drops of golden oil seep out from under the fragrant duck skin, and then drip onto the charcoal fire below.

When leaving the village, Mo Zong also took a clay pot with him. At this time, the pot was filled with some water, and some branches were propped on the water, and the fresh fish were being steamed.

"We have this kind of sea duck on the seashore in Middle-earth, but it is bigger than this and the taste is not very good. However, the raw duck eggs taste very good after being pickled with salt. On the islands farther away from the land, there is no such sea duck.

Sea ducks, only seabirds.”

Mo Zong roasted the two sea ducks patiently. He smelled the aroma coming from the fire, smiled and said to the shepherdess, "If it weren't for you, I might rather take some more dried shrimps from them instead of

Pick this kind of sea duck.”

Seeing Mo Zong's satisfied expression, the shepherdess suddenly felt a little sad. She said to Mo Zong: "I'm sorry."

Mo Zong glanced at her and said, "Why did you suddenly apologize to me?"

The shepherdess looked at him and plucked up the courage to say, "You did not return to my place, but made these things to eat here directly. I did not let you take the elixir to be delivered in their camp. You found nothing in their village, so

You must want to wait for the Xingzhou ship to arrive and take risks next. I also know that if you must take the elixir in the camp, no one among them can stop you."

"You think it was you who put me in danger again. It was because of you that I had to wait for their ship to arrive and then take risks on their ship. That's why you apologized to me." Mo Zong smiled.

He said: "In the final analysis, you are still too kind. Your choice this time has put me in danger again. In fact, it is the same as when you were too kind and harmed the thief and yourself."

Having said this, he paused, looked at the village under the mountain forest, and continued calmly: "Actually, those people have nothing to do with you, so why do you care about their life and death."

The shepherdess was stunned.

She didn't expect that the Demon Sect would say this.

It wasn't until she took more than ten breaths that she spoke: "What you said may make sense, but I really have no way to care about their life or death."

Mo Zong 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 with different types of people and live their whole lives. There are good people in this world, and there are also some.

Bad guy. I’m just saying this to let you understand that no matter what choice you make, you don’t need to feel sad about your choice anymore. What you think is right is right and cannot be wrong.”

The shepherdess was quiet again for a long time.

When Mo Zong felt that the two sea ducks were almost roasted, and handed one roasted sea duck to her first, she looked at Mo Zong seriously, smiled shyly, and said, "You are a good person."

Mo Zong shook his head. He thought it was a joke, but he did not laugh. He just replied seriously: "Few people tell me that I am a good person."

…

The sea duck is indeed very fragrant, and the meat quality is beyond Mo Zong's expectations, and because the women also applied sea salt before drying it, it is not bland or tasteless.

It's just that the steamed sea fish lacks some wine, and it smells fishy to Mo Zong, which he doesn't like very much.

The shepherdess had not eaten such greasy food for a long time. Although it tasted delicious in the mouth, she felt a little gastrointestinal discomfort afterwards. She went to find some herbs and picked some coconut fruits to boil.

No wine, just these potions.

Mo Zong drank some and thought it tasted pretty good. He suddenly wanted to laugh and couldn't help laughing.

The shepherdess looked at him blankly. She didn't know what he was laughing at.

When she thought about it, Mo Zong was a little disappointed because she didn't get what she wanted, and she wouldn't be so happy, but looking at his smile, she also became happy.

When it was almost nightfall, the shepherdess originally wanted to prepare some leaves to spread out, but at this moment, the Demon Sect asked her another serious question, "When did the spiritual wilderness start here?"

"What is spiritual wilderness?" The shepherdess did not understand the meaning of this word.

"That's when the spiritual energy begins to cut off." Demon Sect looked at her and explained patiently: "You are a practitioner. If there is spiritual energy from heaven and earth on this island, you can slowly absorb the spiritual energy from heaven and earth to practice, and you will eventually be able to practice again. Because there is no spiritual energy here.

Without the existence of the aura of heaven and earth, those people will be able to banish you here with confidence."

The shepherdess understood, and she said: "I have read some records. On our islands far away from the land, the spiritual energy of heaven and earth was originally thinner than that of your Middle-earth continent. As early as four or five years ago, the spiritual energy of heaven and earth became even thinner, almost

I can’t sense it anymore. However, we Xingzhou practitioners don’t rely much on absorbing the spiritual energy of heaven and earth to practice, and rely more on the products of the sea.”

"Four or five years ago?"

Demon Sect nodded and said: "That seems to be slightly earlier than the start of the spiritual wilderness in the Southern Dynasty."

The shepherdess did not know how to answer the question.

The Demon Sect looked at her and said, "No need to do anything else, they are here."

It took the shepherdess a breath to realize what he meant. She subconsciously stood up straight and looked towards the sea in the distance. A sail shadow appeared on the sea that was about to be shrouded in darkness.
