Chapter 14: The Gray Mist

Pei Chu felt that this second-layer dream realm was a little weird, and he came out of the dilapidated room, walked through the wide and unusually long corridor, and fell into this space underneath.

Originally, he thought that he should be able to uncover some of the strangeness of this second-level dream world, but when the footsteps outside the door sounded, he felt the hairs in his head unconsciously stand up.

It's as if it's going around in circles, and it seems that everything is back to the beginning......

There were still heavy footsteps outside the door, but this time Pei Chu wasn't sure if it was still the headless general with a double hammer.

"It's a big deal to die once, anyway."

After "dying" in the second layer of dreams several times in a row, Pei Chu already felt that he was a little adapted, and his heart was down, and he grabbed the copper ring handle of the stone door with both hands, wanting to open the stone door to look outside.

But this time, to his surprise, the stone gate more than three meters high was extremely heavy, and no matter how he adapted to dragging and pulling, he couldn't shake it for half a minute.

Pei Chu made a lot of movement on the stone door with his hands and feet, but the heavy footsteps and the faint sound of the wind outside the door still continued, and he was not attracted by his movement.

"Strange!"

After tossing for a long time, Pei Chu gasped and sat on the ground.

In the second layer of dreams, his strength and physical strength are similar to those in reality, there is no increase or decrease, and he will also feel the same way, but he will also feel fatigue.

Sitting on the ground, he looked at the stone door again, cold, heavy, and so strong that it seemed to be glued to the wall, with Pei Chu's current strength, he had already tried and couldn't open it at all.

Just thinking about whether to go around to the other side of the palace below to see if there were any other exits, suddenly, Pei Chu found that a little light was shining in from the outside at a height of more than a meter in the middle of the stone gate.

It was a gap between the two sides of the stone door, about the width of a finger, because it was too small compared to the entire stone door, Pei Chu hadn't noticed it before.

Listening to the footsteps and strange whines that kept ringing outside the door,

Pei Chu stood up suddenly, took a light breath, half-squatted, and leaned into the gap and looked out.

He had seen a headless general, and this time, he was ready to see anything weird.

Outside the door it still seemed to be an open area, but like the space above, it was shrouded in a layer of fog, and only the nearest ten meters could be seen.

In the middle of these fogs, there stood an unusually tall and burly figure.

Shattered and cracked iron armor!

No head!

On his stubby arms are two copper hammers of exaggerated size!

"The headless general again?!"

Pei Chu was shocked in his heart, and when he saw this headless general again, he only felt that everything seemed to have returned to the beginning.

From the dilapidated room in the corridor before, to the white palace that glows underground, this headless warrior seems to have appeared beside him like a bone appendage.

He was a little frightened by the appearance of this headless general, but he really couldn't help but wonder what the other party wanted to do.

Call!

Call!

The air is rolling!

The wind is blowing!

The headless generals outside the stone gate didn't seem to pay attention to Pei Chu who was hiding behind the stone gate this time, but instead raised the double hammer in his hand and kept smashing towards the surrounding gray mist.

Again, and again.

Every time the copper hammer landed on the gray mist, the gray mist was smashed open like a wave of water, but soon more gray mist filled the empty space.

And the headless general was completely tireless, waving it constantly.

"What is he doing here?"

Endless questions rose in Pei Chu's heart, but when his gaze focused on the movements in the hands of the headless general, he gradually seemed to be unable to take his eyes off.

The twin hammers in the hands of the headless generals should be extremely heavy, and the sound of the wind rolling when dancing can be vaguely guessed, but every movement of the opponent seems to have an indescribable rhythm.

Each hammer seemed to fall heavily, with unrivaled power, but in the end it didn't touch the ground, and the power control was so brilliant that it was as if he was just hitting the gray mist.

Pei Chu lay in the crack of the door, the more he looked at it, the more he felt attracted, he didn't know why, but he felt that the figure of this headless military general dancing with a double hammer seemed to be firmly imprinted in his mind through this narrow crack in the door.

As time went on, Pei Chu gradually discovered something different, the action of this headless military general smashing the gray mist with a hammer was actually not complicated, but the action seemed to be repeated.

Just as Pei Chu was silently calculating how many movements this heavy-armored military general had carried out, suddenly, the movements of the headless military general in Shimen suddenly stopped.

The direction facing his body turned to the location of the stone gate where Pei Chu was.

Even though the other party has no head and no eyes.

But at this moment, Pei Chu's whole body slammed into the spirit, and he felt that the headless general seemed to be "looking" at him!

Pei Chu's mind seemed to be "buzzing", as if something had suddenly exploded.

Everything around them is flying, pulling away......

……

Slowly opening his eyes, feeling that the touch of his body seemed to gradually return to his body, Pei Chu slowly sat up and looked at the surrounding environment.

The familiar shanty hut room was rough and shabby, and there was a faint smell of sour rot in the air.

"Still in a dream." Pei Chu immediately determined where he was.

For constantly switching scenes between reality and various dreams, Pei Chu gradually felt that he had become a little adapted.

"I don't know what the ratio of time in dreams and reality is."

Pei Chu has now determined that the world in the dream is continuous, he has actually calculated the speed of time in the two layers of dreams and reality before, in reality it seems to be a night time, but the time in the dream does not seem to be the same.

However, now that Pei Chu is in the dream world, he can't give a particularly clear calculation.

"Well, it's dawn!"

After determining the environment, Pei Chu looked at the gradually brightening sky outside the window and determined the approximate time now.

The productivity of this world is still relatively simple, and his current identity is an inferior laborer from the empire, so naturally there are no timekeeping tools such as clocks and watches, so he can only make a rough judgment.

Of course, Jinshan Wharf actually still has a large bell tower, located in the market town three or four miles away from the shantytown, if you find a good location in the shantytown, you can still roughly see the time.

"Suffered!"

Thinking of the matter of time, Pei Chu suddenly remembered what Liu Sixi had said to him before he left last night, and the other party asked him to go to him at five o'clock in the morning. Look at the sky, it should be past 5 o'clock by now.

"Although I don't know why Liu Sixi agreed to teach me boxing, I definitely want to see it if I have such an opportunity."

Pei Chu actually didn't think that Liu Sixi would agree to teach him boxing so easily, but with such an opportunity, he naturally couldn't miss it.

Liu Sixi's fight with that monster last night was an eye-opener for Pei Chu, and he didn't care if he could learn it in reality, at least he had a place to rely on in his dream.

Moreover, even in a dream, he completely experienced the hard work that Pei Chu's status as a laborer needed, otherwise he would not have the idea of studying hard because he worked too hard.

Besides, a young man of his age is full of curiosity about martial arts and boxing, and he really wants to know what kind of martial arts Liu Sixi is practicing.
