Less than a hundred miles west from the official road at the entrance of Xinghua Village is where the Pei family is. Of course, a hundred miles is not a small number. Pei Wushang was also carrying a coffin, which was equivalent to carrying dozens of kilograms of weight.
Fortunately, he had been hunting with his father since he was a child, and his body was strong, so he didn't care about the weight of the coffin.
"Woo..." Pei Xiaocai's voice came from inside the coffin. Pei Wushang quickly walked to the shadow of a tree on the roadside. He opened the coffin and took out a gourd. Inside was the sheep's blood prepared by Pei Wushang. .
Just as Xuejian and the others said, although Pei Xiaocai has become a ghoul now, she still needs to eat. If she eats human flesh, she will completely become a demon, but if it is the flesh and blood of some livestock, it will be fine. .
But it seems that Xiaocai prefers to drink blood, so before leaving home, Pei Wushang prepared a gourd of sheep blood. It was the only old goat in the family. The family had been reluctant to kill it because the old goat still produced milk. Goat milk is the only supplement for sick mothers.
Pei Xiaocai's delicate face poked out of the coffin, like a kitten. She looked around cautiously, then picked up the gourd and started eating and drinking.
Suddenly, she felt like she was drunk, and immediately glanced to the side, looking into the distance, as if something was attracting Xiao Cai over there.
Pei Wushang put the gourd away and said, "Shall we continue on our way?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Xiaocai suddenly ran towards the depths of the forest. Pei Wushang was shocked and immediately chased after him: "Xiaocai, Xiaocai, please wait a moment and come back. It's noon now. You can't be beaten by noon." The sun is shining!”
However, Xiaocai shuttled through the forest very quickly. Pei Wushang had to put the coffin aside and chased after him. However, when he came near a mountain road, the scene in front of him made Pei Wushang cover his mouth.
Pei Xiaocai's saliva was already flowing down the corner of his mouth. There were four ragged people in the distance. They looked like beggars, but they were eating something around a corpse.
Xiaocai stared at the corpse, but Pei Wushang knew that these people eating were ghouls. This generation of ghouls had become very serious. If there were four ghouls, Pei Wushang couldn't deal with them. He grabbed Pei Xiaocai's hand and dragged it toward Lin Zikou.
They also encountered many weird and bizarre things along the way, but in the end they had no danger. After half a month, the two of them arrived at Peijiazhuang.
Peijiazhuang is also a village, but it is much better than Xinghua Village. Because it is built on the mountainside, when viewed from below, the village is very luxurious, with adobe houses and roads paved with stones. However, the entire village is There were not many people in Peijiazhuang.
"Young man, Peijiazhuang is not a place you can just come to if you want." A middle-aged man's voice appeared behind Pei Wushang.
Pei Wushang turned around suddenly, saw the person coming, and immediately said, "Hello, uncle, I... I'm here to see Uncle Pei."
"Pei Shucai? That's the owner of Pei's Village. What do you want from him?" the middle-aged man said, standing under a big cypress tree.
Pei Wushang cupped his fists and said, "I am Pei Shucai's nephew. My name is Pei Wushang, and my father's name is Pei Bochang."
As soon as these words came out, the middle-aged man's eyes suddenly widened, and a flash of light yellow lightning flashed in his eyes.
"It turns out you are the eldest young master of the Pei family, but I think you came here in vain. Everyone knows what happened between the Pei family brothers. They broke up and never interacted with each other until they died. Even when Mr. Pei passed away, Pei Bochang did not Zhun entered the mourning hall to burn incense, while he and his son were kowtowing outside the door." said the middle-aged man.
Pei Wushang lowered his head, his eyes full of persistence. This appraising expression made the middle-aged man tremble. Whether it was this young face or the determined expression in this chapter, it reminded him of some things in the past.
"So what if I can't use murderous intent? Without murderous intent, I can still make the Pei family prosper!"
"I never wanted to take your place. I just wanted to bring the Pei family back to its glorious days."
“…”
The middle-aged man let out a long sigh. He looked at the coffin behind Pei Wushang and narrowed his eyes slightly: "In that case, go ahead. At the end of this road, there is the owner's home. .”
"Thank you, uncle!" Pei Wushang was overjoyed. When he raised his head, he found that the middle-aged man was no longer there, as if he had never been there.
This made Pei Wushang feel very surprised. Could it be that he saw a ghost during the day? But Pei Wushang didn't think much, and walked towards the owner's house with heavy steps. The door of the owner's house was wide open, and the servants stood in two rows, which looked very impressive.
Looking inside, Pei Wushang saw that the manor was indeed very luxurious. It was full of green plants, the ground was paved with polished bluestone slabs, the walls on both sides were also white and translucent, and there were many on the roadside. The lantern has strange words painted on it, which looks like some kind of spell.
The servants around him also looked at Pei Wushang with great disdain, but Pei Wushang strode towards the house. When he arrived at the lobby, he was immediately stunned. The middle-aged uncle was sitting in the lobby. His eyebrows were sharp and he looked quite fierce.
"Yes, it's you?" Pei Wushang was confused.
A young young man, about twelve years old, walked out next to him. The young man shouted: "Beggar, why don't you bow quickly when you see my father?"
"Are you uncle?" Pei Wushang was so shocked that his whole body trembled.
"What's going on?" Uncle Pei said. He was walking at the entrance of the village and accidentally discovered Pei Wushang. Pei Wushang's appearance was almost the same as that of Pei Bochang, as if he was carved from the same mold.
After seeing his relatives, Pei Wushang's strength finally collapsed. He clenched his fists with tears in his eyes, but resisted the tears from falling. He told what happened, and took out the bag inside the bag. He took the spiritual places of his parents, siblings.
When the spirit tablet was placed on the ground, Uncle Pei was stunned. His eyes were wide-eyed and bloodshot. He clenched his fists and said, "What kind of monster is it?"
"I don't know, but I happened to be selling prey outside and escaped, but... But our whole family..."
"What's in your coffin is..." From the very beginning, Uncle Pei smelled an ominous smell inside the coffin.
At this moment, the coffin opened, and Pei Xiaocai slowly climbed out of it. His fair and expressionless face immediately stunned everyone.
"It's a corpse!" A large number of servants came from all directions and surrounded the Pei Wushang brothers and sisters. Pei Wushang said quickly: "Stop, stop, she is my sister! She... Although she was infected and turned into a corpse Damn it, but she won’t hurt anyone!”
"Master, although this boy is your nephew, he actually protects the ghoul as a person. Forgive me, I'm afraid this nephew will also be infected!" said a tall man. He had already pulled out his sword, and there was actually something on it. There was a layer of cold air.
"Don't hurt Pei Wushang, kill this ghoul on the spot!" Uncle Pei slapped the table and shouted loudly.
"If anyone dares to hurt my sister, I...I will fight to the death!" Pei Wushang gritted his teeth. At this time, he regretted coming to Pei's Manor. If he had known that he was not welcome here, he would not have come.
What kind of relatives? Apart from my parents, I no longer have any relatives.
But he was so stupid that he actually believed that his father's brother would give him a place to stay. However, this cruel reality hit him hard in the face like a merciless slap.
"Pei Wushang, once a person becomes a ghoul, there is no way to save him. If you don't hurt people now, it doesn't mean you won't hurt people in the future! You are my eldest brother's son. For his sake, I won't embarrass you. , I will take you in!" Uncle Pei said.
Pei Wushang gritted his teeth and took out the rusty sword from his waist: "If you want to kill my sister, kill me first!"
"Is this... the Shadow Sword?!" A servant exclaimed, staring at Pei Wushang's rusty sword.
"That's right, it's the ancestor's Shadow Sword!" Another servant also said.
"Ancestor?" Pei Wushang was surprised, but he still didn't dare to relax. It was impossible to use a bow at this time. His father had told him since he was a child that using a bow would only lead to death in a tight siege, and the nearest enemy was far away. He is only five steps away. If he uses a bow, his head may have been harvested by the enemy before he has fully drawn the string.
But can the rusty sword in his hand resist them? This made Pei Wu sad and unsure, but even if he had no bottom now, he had to bite the bullet.
Pei Xiaocai was swaying behind Pei Wushang, like a lost puppet, with no fighting spirit at all. Until now, Pei Wushang still couldn't fully grasp Pei Xiaocai's habits.
He protected Pei Xiaocai behind him, and the servants around him were slowly approaching, each with a fierce look, as if they wanted to put the brother and sister to death.
"Capture this kid alive and kill this corpse!"
I don't know who shouted, and the people around him rushed towards Pei Wushang. Pei Wushang saw these ten people coming towards him at the same time. He was in a daze and forgot to resist. All he could think about was Blank.
"No, I can't defeat so many people by myself!" Pei Wu was heartbroken and frightened. After all, he had never encountered such a battle before.
Just when Pei Wushang was about to die to protect his sister, suddenly his father's haggard figure appeared in his memory. In Pei Wushang's memory, it seemed that his father had been hiding something sad.
"Dad, I have learned the art of arching and can pierce a poplar in thirty steps." The little Pei Wushang came to his father and held a simple bamboo strip bow and said, "You said you would teach me swordsmanship, when will you teach me? And me?"
"Our Pei family's swordsmanship only has one move. Now you stab the sun a thousand times during the day and the moon a thousand times at night." The father thrust a bamboo sword and handed it to Pei Wushang.
Pei Wushang looked at the sword in his hand and said, "Dad, why is there only one move?"
"Human life is limited. Others have learned all kinds of martial arts in their lifetime, but they are too many but not good. But you are my son. You only need to master this one move!" The father held a branch and pointed towards the distance. Prick the bamboo everywhere.
