Chapter Twenty-Six: Air Flow
A pale white glimmer gradually came into view......
Pei Chu slowly got up from the ground, and the tall stone door was still erected in front of him, as if it had never been opened for eternity.
After a few steps to climb to the gap under the stone gate, Pei Chu squinted one eye and looked out, the headless military general was still there, the copper hammer in his hand was held high, and again and again, smashing towards the rolling gray mist around him.
Never seem to get tired.
Pei Chu watched quietly behind the door for a while, there was still a strange churn in those tumbling gray mist, but his attention was no longer on those, but instead he paid attention to the movements of the headless general.
He had been attracted by the other party's move of smashing the gray mist with a sledgehammer before, and when he watched it again, Pei Chu still felt shocked.
The huge copper hammer was wielded, I don't know how much strength it needed, but the headless military general was like a lantern grass, and every movement was wonderful in the control of power, with a violent and precise beauty of power.
"This is a puppet!"
Pei Chu sighed in his heart, this headless military general didn't have a head, and the movements he used seemed to be following a fixed procedure.
Suddenly, a flash of inspiration flashed in Pei Chu's mind, looking at the headless general's action of raising a hammer to smash the gray mist, he vaguely wrote it down, and suddenly thought, "Liu Sixi taught me that the two moves are very practical, so can I also learn the moves of this headless general?" ”
Quickly getting up from the ground, Pei Chu first thought about it, and then glanced around the empty underground palace again, and in the empty palace, there was nothing superfluous except for the glimmering walls.
Pei Chu thought about it, simply clenched his fists, used his fists as the huge copper hammer, and began to practice in the space behind the stone gate in imitation of the movements of the headless general.
Raise your arm, open your bow, and smash it down with one palm like a sledgehammer.
Then the arm was retracted, and the fist was punched out again from the waist and abdomen.
Punching, smashing, pendulum, flicking, crossing......
First the first move, then the second move, then the third move......
Pei Chu's movements were one after another, and he somehow remembered the movements of the headless generals very clearly, and as soon as the thoughts in his mind moved, his body followed suit.
If there is something unsmooth, he just stopped, and then lay behind the stone gate again and watched the movements of the headless military general outside.
The headless military commander seems to be like a machine puppet, except for the last time a monster composed of gray mist appeared with different movements, all the movements have always been fixed, back and forth.
Soon, Pei Chu understood all the movements of the headless general, and followed the imitation in the empty hall.
There are only thirty-six movements in total, which looks unpretentious, but it is quite difficult to do.
I don't know how long it took, just as Pei Chu was practicing more than thirty movements of the headless military general lifting the hammer over and over again, suddenly, Pei Chu made a movement in his hand, and he felt that a wonderful air flow seemed to be generated in his body out of thin air.
This air flow appeared as he moved, from the soles of his feet, through his waist and abdomen, and then to his arms.
The movements of Pei Chu's hands did not stop, and this air flow became more and more active, constantly moving in various parts of his body.
Pei Chu could feel that at the beginning, this air flow was just like a thin thread, but as he continued to make the thirty-six movements of the headless general, the air flow in his body became faster and faster, and it became thicker and thicker.
"Huh? Am I waking up? ”
I don't know how long it took, just as Pei Chu was immersed in the feeling of the wonderful air flow surging in his body, an inexplicable thought suddenly appeared in his mind, and he vaguely felt as if he was about to wake up from this dream world.
It was the first time he had felt this way, and he couldn't say what the reason was, just a spontaneous feeling.
And just after Pei Chu's movements stopped, the air flow that appeared in his body gradually dissipated.
Pei Chu slowly closed his eyes, and his consciousness sank again, fluttering......
And just when Pei Chu closed his eyes and his entire body seemed to disappear like a streamer, suddenly the headless military general who had been looking like a puppet outside the stone gate suddenly moved slightly.
The headless body slowly turned in the direction of the stone gate, and after a moment, it continued to dance the copper hammer in his hand, smashing into the endless gray mist.
……
The sky was dark.
Pei Chu slowly put on the short coat hanging at the head of the bed, glanced at Fang Yunhu, who was lying on the wooden bed not far away, and opened the door with light steps, and walked outside.
In the early morning, the air of Jinshan Port is filled with this salty smell, especially along the many muddy paths in the shantytown, and occasionally you can smell a disgusting stench.
These are the remnants of some marine fish, oysters and other abandoned organs and shells, and after a long time, no one has cleaned them up, and gradually they have an unpleasant smell.
Pei Chu knew that there was no way to do it, there were so many Xia laborers from the empire in the shantytown, and people from other countries and nationalities gathered here, just eating was a big deal.
Rice, flour and grain are basically occupied by the shops monopolized by a few big gangs in Jinshan Port, and the prices are very high, most people can only buy a little, and then they mainly mix with more cheap seafood to satisfy their hunger.
Although life is still difficult, for most summer workers, it is actually not bad, not necessarily full of food, but there is something in the stomach.
After Pei Chu went out, he felt his stomach growling, I don't know if it was because he was too hard to move the goods yesterday and lay down to sleep without eating, or because he followed the hammer method in the second layer of the dream world, in short, he was very hungry after going out.
An elderly couple at the corner of the street bought two oyster cakes, and swallowed a bowl of kelp soup given by the other party.
In the past, he usually ate one cake or half a cake with Fang Yunhu, but today he was so hungry for some reason that he didn't feel anything after eating the two oyster cakes.
However, Pei Chu Pei Chu still held back, he didn't have much money in hand.
After paying the money, I didn't stop all the way, and went directly to the direction of Goutou Mountain.
He still has to work on the dock today, Pei Chu knows that he probably can't escape it, in this world, at least before he figured out how to get rid of this heavy life, moving goods on the dock and working hard to make a living is the only way out.
But for now, he didn't want to think about the headache and heavy work, and when he woke up in the morning, all he could think about was what happened in the second layer of mysterious dreams before waking up in this dream world.
He learned the headless general's set of movements of smashing the gray mist with a sledgehammer, and with each practice, his body seemed to have a strange feeling, as if something was flowing in his body, and even the fatigue and fatigue of the body dissipated.
"Who is that headless general, and why does my body feel tired and energetic after I learn his moves?"
Pei Chu walked on the narrow and dirty alleyway, feeling his body that was still sore and tired yesterday, and today he became full of vitality, and he felt a lot of doubts in his heart.
He wasn't sure if the two layers of dreams he had experienced were intertwined, but now it seemed that his body had improved in this dream realm after learning and practicing the movements of the headless warrior in the previous dream.
He remembered the thirty-six movements with the hammer very well, but practicing this thing would make the body recover from fatigue and even seem to become stronger. This kind of thing made Pei Chu feel very weird.
"When I wake up, I should try it in the real world, I don't know if it will have this effect." Pei Chu remembered the two fighting skills that Liu Sixi had taught before, and secretly made up his mind in his heart.
