"I'm not a monster, I'm just a lay Buddhist disciple passing by!"
With just a simple dodge, Pei Wende kicked the black hound several meters away.
Then, without waiting for the young man to get closer, Pei Wende made a small grappling move, not only successfully removing the hatchet from the opponent's hand, but also taking advantage of the situation to pin the opponent to the ground.
"Ouch!"
Seeing his master being suppressed by outsiders, the hound that was kicked to the ground stood up again with a grin on his face.
Unfortunately, the dog-leg knife that flew out earlier fell from the sky at this moment and hovered straight on the young man's neck, forcing the intelligent hound to not dare to act rashly.
"I told you, I'm just here to find someone."
Without looking at his boy and the hound, when Pei Wende said this, he looked directly at the house not far away.
Because at the moment of this brief confrontation, a woman who looked to be in her early thirties walked out of the room and looked at Pei Wende with a calm gaze that a normal person would never have.
"As the parent of this child, can you have a quick chat?"
In order to express his sincerity, Pei Wende controlled the dog-leg knife to leave the young man's neck as he spoke.
"Outsiders, you are not welcome here."
Her calm tone was full of undisguised disgust. Although the woman was worried about her son's condition, she was not disturbed at all.
"I said, don't you all understand human language?"
Repeating a few old sayings over and over again, plus being a little worried about the situation over Xiaoqing's side...
Pei Wende's face also became a bit ugly, and his aura of calmness immediately shocked everyone present.
"I said, I don't have any hostility, I'm here to find someone!"
However, facing Pei Wende's anger, the woman unexpectedly laughed, but her expression looked so helpless and miserable.
"As an outsider, you first fought indiscriminately and forced your way into my house..."
"Now that my son has been detained again, the resentment in this land has been awakened..."
"You also said you don't have any hostility?"
As if responding to the woman's words, Pei Wende suddenly felt the ground beneath his feet shake.
Immediately afterwards, a shrill wail sounded in the mist behind him, mixed with a kind of permeating terror that instantly spread throughout the village.
"What?"
Pei Wende didn't care to continue to suppress the young man at the moment, and instinctively turned his head to look in the direction behind him.
Looking around, I saw that the originally calm fog began to twist and change at an abnormal speed.
It was like countless evil ghosts struggling and roaring in it, emitting a demonic sound that could distort light.
It was only then that Pei Wende noticed that the sky had turned completely dark, and the cunning moonlight had shone onto the earth without knowing when.
"what happened?"
"Why did those monsters wake up?"
"No, gather the children quickly!"
…
Seeing the changes that occurred in the fog, the villagers came out of their houses one after another, and then started shouting with sudden changes in their expressions.
…………………………………………………………………………………………………………
At the same time, deep in the fog.
This is an independent courtyard far away from the village. Judging from the various constructions and decorations, it looks out of place with the villagers' village.
"They're awake!"
Standing at the entrance of the courtyard, a young man dressed like a scholar stared at the fog outside, seemingly not surprised at all by the existences roaring and wailing in the fog.
If Pei Wende were here, he would find that the young man in front of him is exactly the same as the petitioner he had seen.
"Ms. sir? What happened?"
At this time, the "hostess" who also heard the wailing came to the yard.
Dressed in simple silk and satin, her enchanting figure is fully displayed, and the charm revealed in her words seems to be natural.
If you hadn't seen it with your own eyes, it would be hard to imagine that the owner of such a gentle voice could be such a seductive being.
"Xi'er? Why did you come out?"
He quickly turned around and walked towards his wife, only to see the young scholar supporting her with a distressed look on his face, as if he was supporting a fragile puppet.
"Ms. sir, I'm not as fragile as you think."
Seeing her husband being so nervous about her, the hostess couldn't help but smile.
"It's been so many years since the last 'channelling', and my body has almost recovered."
"Compared to this, what is happening outside?"
Gently turning her head to look outside the door, the smile on the hostess's face suddenly faded, and her tone became a little heavier.
"Why do those guys wake up at this time?"
"Did something go wrong with the 'Tomb Beast' again?"
When asked here, the hostess paused for a moment, then turned her gaze to the young scholar who was hesitant to speak.
"Don't hide it from me. I want to know what happened outside?"
"Didn't you and I already agree that no matter what happens, we must be honest with each other?"
Seeing that the hostess said this, the young scholar could only tell what he knew, no matter how reluctant he was.
"It is indeed the case of the 'Grave Suppressing Beast'."
"It seems that some outsider took away the 'mirage', which caused those guys to wake up early."
Hearing this, the hostess' eyes widened in surprise or shock, and her expression changed from heavy to thoughtful.
"Isn't this...an opportunity?"
His pupils suddenly tightened, and the young scholar looked down at his wife in disbelief.
"Ms. sir, don't you think this is a great opportunity?"
Obviously seeing the young scholar's hesitation, the hostess repeated her words again.
"We've been preparing for this for so long, maybe we can give it another try."
The hesitation instantly turned into contemplation. The young scholar did not answer his wife's words, but asked a very fatal question.
"Do you know what this means?"
"Do you remember what happened to those 'escapers'?"
A smile appeared on her face again, and the hostess's resolute voice seemed extremely firm at this moment.
"Of course I remember and I know what this decision means."
"Isn't it just for this moment that I helped them escape before?"
As the hostess finished speaking, more women's voices came faintly from the room behind the yard.
"Ms. sir, let's get out of here together!"XN
"Whether we live or die, we will go hand in hand!" XN
