Chapter 20: The Ordinary Coffin
Getting the Walking Dead moving?
Xie Xiaolou felt a little puzzled, the walking corpse is the lowest corpse that can be refined in the alchemy technique, just like the ones that I encountered on the periphery of the Peng family just now, it has no power at all when it comes out in broad daylight, and it is afraid of the sun, and even the walking corpse does not need to be refined, and it can be made to raise the corpse with some ordinary corpse control methods.

Peng Li obviously knew about this for the first time, and his calm face was slightly surprised and dissatisfied: "Let the walking corpse raise the corpse?" What's so difficult about it? ”
Peng Sanyue turned around and said, "Simple? You learned all those skills from the Peng family, but none of us here can do it. ”
Peng Sanyue definitely wouldn't lie, Peng Li's corpse art was all taught by him, and since he said such a thing, it showed that he and the two elders couldn't do it either.
After hearing Peng Sanyue's words, Peng Li realized that this matter was unusual and fell silent.
"Let you give it a try, I don't believe that this hairy boy can make it corpse, but," the Great Elder looked at Xie Xiaolou and the three of them with resentful eyes, "If you fail, don't think about getting out of the Peng family for half a step!" ”
Their conversation basically revealed the bottom of the Peng family, and the Great Elder naturally would not let the three of them leave easily, his plan was to either leave the three of them as slaves or directly kill them.
After listening to the threat of the Great Elder, who had not spoken, he clasped his hands together and slowly spoke: "Heaven has the virtue of a good life, even if we know the secret of your family, we also know that the matter is very important, and we will never mention it to outsiders, so why should the old gentleman rush to kill them all?" ”
The Great Elder glanced at the monk and snorted, he had already made up his mind to pay attention, so he stopped talking nonsense.
Xie Xiaolou thought in his heart, if the Peng family really wants to make trouble, the other party's two old men and three middle-aged men look better and not very difficult to deal with, plus if they don't quit their skills, they may not necessarily suffer, but when they think about it, they should have inherited the corpse skills of their ancestors, and they can know one or two from the walking corpses that emerged from the ground before, plus the clansmen are all immortal, so it may be tricky to really fight.
"You three, come with me." Xie Xiaolou was thinking about it, when he heard Peng Sanyue speak, he just wanted to see the ordinary and not ordinary walking corpse, so he followed Peng Sanyue out of the door.
The four of them walked towards the back mountain one after the other, Peng Sanyue and Xie Xiaolou walked in the front, he seemed to deliberately slow down, waiting for Xie Xiaolou to follow, and said softly: "Do you remember our previous conversation at the Wu family?" ”
"Yes." Xie Xiaolou replied.
At this time, the sky was completely dark, but today's moonlight was relatively full, even without the emergency light in Peng Sanyue's hand, the mountain road could be seen clearly.
"I said that only the corpse scripture can unlock the secrets of our family, and if it weren't for you today, I wouldn't have said so much." Peng Sanyue looked into the distance.
As the head of the Peng family, he doesn't want the Peng family to live a normal life, without being isolated from the world in order to bear the pressure, in fact, Peng Sanyue has a son in addition to Peng Li, but although this little son is innocent and cute, but the brain is a little stunted, which is usually called "mentally retarded", every time the younger son innocently asks him "Dad, Dad, what is it like outside", it is like a sharp sword stuck in his heart, but he knows that this curse has not been solved for a day, They can't live like normal people for a day.
Because of the environment in which the Peng family lived since childhood, the people in the family still attach great importance to the ancestral teachings, and in their opinion, disobeying the ancestral teachings is a matter of heaven and earth, so Peng Sanyue cannot move to the outside world with the family desperately.
But this day has finally come, although he also has some doubts about Xie Xiaolou, but it is not hopeless.
Of course, Xie Xiaolou didn't know about these twists and turns, he thought for a while and asked a strange question: "Since only the corpse scripture can unlock the secret of the Peng family, why don't you just come and grab it?" ”
He remembered that Peng Li had also said before that he was not interested in the Corpse Sutra, otherwise he would not have killed Xue Baihe, and at that time, Peng Li's purpose was only to use Xie Xiaolou's mother to threaten him to help him refine the corpse, so what Xie Xiaolou didn't understand was that Peng Li had the ability to grab the Corpse Sutra at the beginning, so why didn't he just do it?
Peng Li hesitated for a while, then nodded: "Yes, the Corpse Sutra is very important to us, but I also know that the Corpse Sutra is not something that anyone can learn. ”
"What do you mean?" Xie Xiaolou never knew that there was such a thing as the corpse scripture.
"There is a record in the handbook of the ancestors of the Peng family, I have dealt with the ancestors of your Xie family, the reason why the corpse scripture is more clever than ordinary corpse art is that it can refine the corpse kui, but after practicing the corpse art in the corpse scripture, there will be some sequelae, such as the stiffness of the whole body, the birth of corpse spots, etc., the ancestor guessed that maybe the corpse scripture will be another curse, the people of the yin and yang world refining corpses and raising ghosts, they have committed the taboo of yin and yang, the more yin and yang techniques are learned, the more refined they are, the greater the side effects of this."
Even if the Peng family has an immortal body, they can't escape the calamity of yin and yang, immortality does not mean that they are not old or sick, Peng Li naturally knows this, so he has no idea of fighting the corpse, and he hopes to use Xie Xiaolou.
After listening to Peng Sanyue's explanation, Xie Xiaolou's heart was shocked, and he thought that every time he used up the Five Turns Yin Yang Technique, he would feel a stinging pain in his internal organs, and the five Qi Shi methods used in the Wu family before were even more like they were about to fall apart, but he didn't think about it so much at the time, thinking that it was just due to excessive consumption of energy, coupled with the corpse qi accumulated in his body now, Xie Xiaolou realized that the corpse scripture was not as simple as he thought.
No, I'm only twenty-two years old, and I still have a long way to go in my life, so I'm not going to die just like that, right? Xie Xiaolou was a little panicked.
Without waiting for Xie Xiaolou to figure it out, the four of them had already walked to the mountainside of the back mountain, with a coffin in front of them.
"It's inside." Peng Sanyue pointed to the coffin in front of him.
It was a very ordinary coffin, lying quietly in the woods, with nothing else around, and the white moonlight shining on it looked a little strange at first glance.
Uncontrollably looked at the coffin: "There is nothing unusual about this thing. "Needless to say, he can detect any corpse qi and demonic aura around him, since he said such a thing, it shows that this coffin and the things inside are very ordinary.
Peng Li nodded, he was the one who wanted to reveal the secret the most, and immediately ran to the coffin and sniffed, only smelling some rancid smell, not even corpse gas.
He frowned, pushed the lid of the coffin, found that it was not sealed, and then opened the lid with all his strength.
There was a corpse lying inside, its face had rotted, and as soon as the moonlight shone in, the maggots on its face looked extremely excited, and they kept burrowing in and out of the seven orifices of the corpse.
"I'll try." Peng Li saw that the moonlight was shining tonight, and it should not be difficult to think of the corpse, but since Peng Sanyue had also said before that no one in the Peng family could make him raise the corpse, Peng Li did not dare to underestimate it.
But he thinks that he has been refining corpses in the past few years, and his corpse skills have made great progress, and he believes that he is not much worse than Peng Sanyue, and even surpasses it.
"You can try, but don't be disappointed." Peng Sanyue looked at his eldest son's actions and said coldly.
