The sword is the devil

Chapter 363
In the Haizhu Palace, a woman looks out of the window. Her bamboo house has no difference in quality from other bamboo houses. The only difference is that the sight here is the best.
Half window is bamboo, half window is sea, one window is starry sky and one curtain is belt.

I can't tell her age, as if the years have never flowed through her, but knowingly bypassed her when passing by, this is the benefit of every practitioner who is close to nature.

Since she stepped into Tongxuan at the age of 20 and came here, turning a deserted island into a pearl on the sea, she has been practicing here for a full hundred and fifty years, and her realm has changed from Tongxuan, which reaches the three realms of the sky, to the current nature. And naturally she will set foot on a higher level in the near future, this is nature's reward for her.

Although it is very slow, it is incomparable to those geniuses, but it is more stable and solid, with a clear goal, just like this bamboo sea, which has completely changed its appearance inadvertently, and the sea has changed.

Struggling in the Lizhi Sea for 50 years, she thought that she could barely avoid the turmoil of this world and immerse herself in her own practice world; but after these years, she realized that some things can never be avoided as long as you are alive.

There is always contact, there is always communication, there is always compromise, in every aspect, no matter how big or small.

Whether it's the jurisdiction of the Lihai Jiedu Mansion, or the bribes of various countries, whether it's the occasional harassment of the Sea Clan, or the greed of the bandits, she needs to balance it out.

I paid a lot and gave up a lot; for example, it became one of the scenic spots in the coastal area of ​​Jiedu Mansion, not only to receive those endless flocks of monks, but also to donate some rouge bamboos every year as the island The price, these things, she was never willing to do, but now it has become a habit.

To change all this, there is no other better way, except to go far away from other islands and go deeper into the ocean.

But this also means less entanglement by humans and more harassment by the Sea Clan; and these disciples who get along day and night, the bamboo forests all over the island are not something she can easily give up.

But all of this will eventually have a result, as long as she is successfully promoted to Jindan, it is the moment to make a choice.

This is her plan, but now, even this plan is a bit uncertain, the pressure from some side seems to not want to give her a leisurely arrangement time?

The most powerful pirate group in Lizhi near the sea, the Cang Pirate Group, gave her the last resort, asking Zhudao to become a supply point for the pirate group.

This is because of Zhudao's unique location and unobtrusive commercial connection with the continental shelf, it can secretly bring a lot of supplies to the sea without anyone noticing, and take the pirates' harvest back to the mainland to sell the stolen goods.

The Cang Pirates have many such dens in the offshore, but most of them are deserted islands that are inaccessible, and the transportation is very inconvenient; The Cang pirates paid special attention to Zhudao.

Frankly speaking, the conditions given by Cang Pirates were not harsh. They would not affect the environment of Zhudao, nor would they stay permanently.

But Mrs. Zhu knew that this was just the beginning. Once she agreed, she would slowly sink deeper and deeper, unable to control herself, until finally she would either become a member of the Cang Pirates, or die.

A slender woman walked in gently, this is her first disciple, Fengwei Zhu, who also has a sense of cultivation.

He stood quietly behind him without saying a word.

Mrs. Bamboo sighed, "Do you feel powerless? We desperately wanted to get rid of the troubles of the world, but finally found that everything we did was so childish and powerless?"

Fengweizhu's expression remained unchanged, "There is no other, only Zhan Er!"

As the longest disciple of the master, Fengwei has spent more than a hundred years on Zhudao, and she is also Mrs. Zhu's most steadfast ally.

If you don't want to give in, there will be a battle sooner or later.

Haizhu Palace has six cultivators of the Heaven-reaching Three Realms. Except for the master, Mrs. Bamboo, who is in the natural realm, she and the four junior sisters are all in the realm of sensation, and the remaining three junior sisters are in the realm of Tongxuan. For an ordinary island, this power Not weak anymore, but not enough for an island all its own.

Because they don't know how many bandits Cang Pirates can gather?
This is not the first time that such a situation has happened. Cang Pirates have made such requests many times in the past ten years, and what they have left is to use fatigue psychological tactics to drag them down.

Of course they can find friends and seek help from the Jiedu Mansion, but if the wolf cries too much, everyone will get used to it and don't pay attention to it.

It is impossible for the helper to stay on Bamboo Island forever, and not all monks are used to the light and desireless practice life here.

So again and again, the friends came, the monks of the Jiedu Mansion came, and then left after waiting for a long time, back and forth, over and over again, until now, no helper came, really I can't stand such a toss.

The Cang pirates easily destroyed Takeshima's circle of friends through such a simple method, making them have to rely on their own strength to deal with these ferocious pirates.

If it wasn't for wanting to get the stronghold of Zhudao as a transit point, and wanting to continue to maintain Zhudao's status as a resource attraction, let Haizhu Palace still control Zhudao in name, and continue to maintain business relations with the mainland... If you just want to destroy this island, Probably the Cang Pirates have already succeeded. After all, on the sea, even if the support rushes here at the first time, it will take a certain amount of time.

Cang Pirates thought very far-reaching, and it was precisely because of this that they procrastinated for more than ten years, dragging the Zhudao cultivators to exhaustion.

Mrs. Bamboo smiled wryly, "The best way is to make good friends and get together to wipe out the pirates, but this is also the most impossible; because no one knows who they are? How many are there?
The medium is for us to get out of here, but where can we go?There are no Cang Pirates, there are Blue Pirates, Deep Pirates...

Fighting can only express our will, but this is probably the last situation we want to see. No matter what the result is, we are all losers. "

Of course they are losers. They stick to an island and let others slaughter them. They have no initiative and need to guard against the arrival of pirates anytime and anywhere;
It doesn't matter if the pirates fail once, because they can come back; but how many times can Takeshima survive?One shot can make them unstoppable.

"I have a hunch that this time the Cang Pirates may no longer be bluffing, and they may be serious.

We can't tell the Jiedu Mansion about this premonition, they have already run empty several times, complaining a lot.

But at least we can do one thing, and that is to transfer the disciples away, which can be regarded as saving a trace of blood for Zhushima. "
