Xizhou, Yangguan border military camp, late at night.
Li Hu stared at the dozens of sleeping soldiers around him, and pierced the nail of his right thumb into his index finger in disbelief.
He pressed gently at first, and after getting used to it, he used all his strength. He didn't stop until his index finger made a deep concave mark.
Then, he touched the empty cuff of his left arm, glanced around, and carefully took out a dagger from the lining.
In the dim shop, the silver-white knife and dagger glowed with a hint of coldness, and he held it tightly in his hand.
"my eyes…"
With a very weak light, Li Hu saw the change in his eyes through the reflection of the dagger.
The two eyes that looked a little cloudy due to all-day fatigue were shining brightly at the moment.
There seemed to be an invisible light source deep in the pupils, gradually covering the entire eyes, making them look extremely mysterious.
Even though it was extremely dark in the store, he seemed to be able to see the night as if it were day, and see everything around him clearly.
Boom, boom, boom!
Suddenly, sounds like slight drum beats slowly came from all directions.
The sound was very gentle, but it seemed that there were many different sounds coming together, making it a bit messy.
But almost in the blink of an eye, Li Hu heard the details.
This is the sound of a human heartbeat.
"I can actually hear their heartbeats?"
Li Hu listened attentively and felt a little surprised, and there was also a slight novelty.
Although dozens of people around him were sleeping in the same wing, they were not sleeping in the same bed. There was still a distance between everyone.
But now he can actually hear everyone's heartbeats, and he can also judge the distance between these people from the changes in their heartbeats!
This feeling is as if the hearing has suddenly become dozens of times stronger, and only then can all the subtle sounds be absorbed into the mind.
Boom, boom, boom!
The heartbeats, one after another, continued to rise.
Li Hu put down the dagger repeatedly, put it into the leather sheath, and put it back on the lining.
He felt as if he could hear more, and slowly closed his eyes.
Swah la la la!
Gradually, the sound in his ears became louder and louder, as if scenes of more chaotic and inexplicable sounds were rising one after another.
Those sounds seemed like blood flowing in blood vessels, like the subtle movements of joints and bones at night, and like the slow peristalsis of the internal organs after falling asleep.
All kinds of sounds became clearer and clearer as he listened carefully.
"This one is on the south side, six steps away from me. It should be Wu Fan from the grain and grass department... This one is in the northeast corner, twelve steps away from me. It's Zeng Songyue from the weapons department... This one is on the front bunk, and it's Cai Kun from the order office..."
Li Hu closed his eyes tightly, feeling that the sounds coming from inside the human body were being heard in his mind one by one, and he could even clearly determine the location and even the identity of these people!
These people's heartbeats, breathing, peristalsis of organs, friction of joints, and even blood flow can be heard all in their ears, as if they were magnified countless times!
After listening to a stick of incense for a long time, Li Hu finally came back to his senses and slowly opened his eyes.
This time he opened his eyes, the power of his eyes, which could barely see the night like day just now, had completely become permanent.
From what you can see, it looks like it's bright daylight.
He looked at the wooden frame on the beam, and with just a moment of concentration, he could see the grain of the wood several feet away, which was audible and extremely clear.
And he also found that as long as he stared harder, he could see the subtle red light on the sleeping soldiers around him.
The power of Qi and blood can actually be seen through these eyes!
"The Taoist Master taught me his magical powers..."
At this moment, how could Li Hu not know why he suddenly became "sighted"? He calmed down, and the three golden Buddhas and one bell and one tower in his mind became clearer and more stable than ever before.
This was something he had never done before when he tried to meditate every night!
"One thought overwhelms all thoughts, and visualization fixes the soul!"
Like a blessed soul, Li Hu immediately put aside the surprise and novelty of his own eyesight and hearing, waved away distracting thoughts, and focused all his attention on the visualization picture in his mind.
He felt that the bottleneck of being unable to successfully visualize in the past three years could be broken tonight!
clang!
clang!
clang!
A bell sounded like it was about to reach deep inside my heart.
And Li Hu only felt that his vision began to rise in the blink of an eye, as if he was about to rush to a very high place and gain great joy and freedom.
He felt that his body became lighter and lighter, and his thoughts became more and more comfortable, as if everything in the past was beginning to develop in a better direction.
Boom boom boom!
Rising and rising.
His gaze drifted across mountains and rivers, across starry skies, until he could no longer make any progress or increase, and finally stopped.
"Where am I?"
Li Hu looked at the dark and boundless illusory area under his feet, and felt an inexplicable fear and horror rising in an instant.
It seemed as if there was a Nine Layers Demonic Abyss underneath, with countless strange monsters lurking that wanted to devour flesh and blood.
"woo woo woo woo!"
And at this moment, extremely subtle low roars suddenly came from under the feet. Listening carefully, it was like the cry of a night owl, or like a ghost weeping miserably in the middle of the night. It was extremely terrifying.
Oh!
As soon as the voice sounded, Li Hu felt that the scene around him changed instantly, and scenes of familiar and unfamiliar scenes suddenly evolved around him.
Crunch!
The wooden door is closed, and the image of a family with four walls comes into view.
"This...this is my home?"
Li Hu looked at the dilapidated houses around him and the brown wooden door, and his heart suddenly beat.
He turned around and looked away, feeling a chill rising.
The rotten and stinking meat, the water tank filled with maggots, and the wooden beams covered with cobwebs are instantly reflected in the depths of the mind.
This time, he did not rely on the delusion-breaking power Duan Zhen had given him at the beginning, but only relied on his own eyes to see clearly.
"Is this in a dream?"
Li Hu stared at his house for a moment. Although he was still a little scared, he was also a little confused.
He felt that his mind was much clearer, and he had more energy to make judgments for a while.
Although the scene in front of me was the same as Fengmen Village where I had lived for more than twenty years, there were differences in the details.
"That's right! I was imagining! I'm not really back in the village!"
At this moment, a flash of inspiration flashed in Li Hu's mind, and his eyes instantly became extremely clear.
Yangguan and Fengmen Village in Xizhou are tens of thousands of miles apart. How could they cross such a vast distance in the blink of an eye?
Moreover, it was clear that he was still meditating on the skills taught by Duan Zhen just a moment ago.
"This is a dream, so what should I do now?"
After knowing that all this was just in a dream, Li Hu seemed to become more courageous.
He looked at the rotten and stinky things in his room again, and suddenly felt that his thoughts became lighter again.
It was as if after realizing that he was in a dream, his soul solidified a little.
Crunch!
At this moment, he turned around suddenly and heard the brown wooden door behind him suddenly being opened.
Da da da!
A heavy and stiff footsteps suddenly rose up.
"you…"
Although Li Hu had already realized that he was in a dream, he was still startled by the scene in front of him.
The person who pushed in the door was his good friend, Li Qing.
"Brother Huzi, are you okay? I just heard you yelling in the house, and I happened to have not left yet, so I came here to take a look."
A familiar voice came slowly from Li Qing's mouth.
But Li Hu subconsciously took a few steps back, a trace of panic appeared in his eyes, and his pupils shrank suddenly.
Crunch!
Crunch!
The wooden door was held down by Li Qing's knuckles, revealing his pale skin without any color.
If you look closely, you will see that there are black and purple spots on the five fingers and even the entire palm, which seems to be a stubborn disease.
And he was lying down, as if he couldn't straighten his back, and could only move step by step.
While speaking, he revealed his bloodshot eyeballs half hanging on his face.
It turns out that Li Qing has become like this a long time ago.
Li Hu watched this friend who grew up with him turn into a zombie-like appearance, and the fear in his heart suddenly subsided a bit.
At this moment, he understood that he was not simply in a dream. Everything in front of him was actually the scene he saw when Duan Zhen took him out.
This is now, this scene has finally been seen by him with his own eyes!
"Is this the Fengmen Village that the Taoist Master sees..."
Li Hu squeezed his right arm tightly, looked at Li Qing walking towards him step by step, and suddenly growled deeply.
He seemed to be venting, screaming, and grieving for the disaster that had befallen his friend.
And Li Qing didn't move, he just drooped his rotting body, revealing a pair of empty eyes, looking at him silently.
From time to time, there were black blood streaks running down from the eye sockets, like silent tears or silent sobs.
"Qingzi, you have suffered..."
After a long time, Li Hu finally stopped feeling sad and suddenly raised his head.
He stood up repeatedly and began to look around, as if looking for something.
Bang!
He rummaged through the dilapidated furniture in the house and searched hastily.
Finally, he found a hatchet and held it in his hand.
The next moment, Li Hu stepped forward, swung his hatchet, and slashed the owl's head.
"boom!"
Li Qing's head flipped over and fell to the ground, but no blood flowed from his neck. It was just black and purple and stiff as a corpse.
He was actually dead long ago, whether in a dream or in reality.
"Qingzi..."
Li Hu knelt on the ground, held up his head, and shed a tear on his face.
Then, he wiped away his tears with one arm, held Li Qing's head, and stepped out.
That direction was where the weasel spirit that occupied the old village chief's house was located.
That night, the Fengmen Ancient Village in the dream fell into a confusing nightmare of chaos and bloodshed.
…
"Gather! Gather!"
Sunlight shines through the windows of the main room, and the morning drumbeats of the military camp resound throughout the camp.
Li Hu opened his eyes, sat up straight, and looked at his one arm.
He took ten silent breaths, then quickly dressed and started a new day.
After the morning training, he went into the kitchen to prepare the lunch military meal.
But just as he was about to clean the dishes, Peng Yong and the other three slowly walked towards him:
"Brother Peng, you must have enjoyed yourself last night, right? Hahaha!"
"That's right, that prodigal man in town is so good at playing the flute. Brother Peng didn't come back until dawn. He thought he had fallen into a beauty cave!"
"In a few days, my brothers will also find someone to accommodate themselves to the night watchman, so that they can go to the town and have a good time!"
The three of them spoke not loudly, but they did not cover up their voices.
There was no one else around at this moment, and as for Li Hu, they didn't even care.
Listening to the words of the three people, it seemed that Peng Yong secretly left the military camp last night and went to the town.
"Don't blame me for bragging, that little girl, tsk tsk tsk! If you sit on it and move, I'm afraid it could grind someone to death!"
Peng Yong proudly shared last night's enjoyment with the other two people, laughing under the envy of the other two.
He was sitting casually on the table and suddenly saw Li Hu who was washing vegetables.
"Hey, that coward, why aren't you lazy today? Are you here so early?"
Peng Yong was enjoying a good night when he suddenly saw Li Hu. He felt playful again and wanted to humiliate him.
In the past three years, teasing Li Hu has become a part of their military life.
If you can have some fun in the boring military camp life, then why not?
But this time, Peng Yong did not get the previous response from Li Hu.
Swish, swish!
The sound of gurgling water came from the water spoon in Li Hu's hand, washing the vegetable leaves covered with soil, washing away the dirt.
He seemed to be in a trance, and did not hear Peng Yong speak to him at all. He just lightly brushed the ends of the vegetable leaves with one hand to wash away the impurities.
"Bastard, I'm talking to you! Are you deaf?"
But this scene made Peng Yong, who was originally in a good mood, frown.
The two people next to them also had a cold look in their eyes.
Click!
The sounds of cracking muscles and bones were heard one after another.
Peng Yong shook his neck and jumped down from the case, kneading his bones and joints, and walked towards Li Hu.
It seems that today is the time to loosen this boy's bones.
"Hey, I want to see how tough you can be today!"
Peng Yong took three steps closer to Li Hu, and when he saw that he still didn't turn around, he suddenly showed a sinister smile.
His palms turned into claws, and they came out straight like an iron hook, grabbing at Li Hu's back.
This is a claw technique he has developed over many years in the military camp. It can hurt people's joints and remove people's arms with ease.
Moreover, if it is hit on a hidden acupuncture point, no scars will be visible from the outside, and the victim will only be in extreme pain.
In the past three years, Li Hu has been tortured and humiliated by him from time to time.
Hoo ho ho!
A martial arts practitioner can actually bring up a wisp of breeze within three steps, and exert considerable power.
The closer he got, the more obvious Peng Yong's grin became. He couldn't wait to tease this obedient and disabled man.
But just when his palm was about to clasp Li Hu's back, Li Hu, who had not moved, suddenly took a step to the left.
"you!"
Peng Yong's eyes shrank, and the grab he was sure to win suddenly came to nothing.
His body staggered, his strength was exhausted, and he almost lost his balance.
However, after his physical body had been trained to the point of strengthening his muscles, he quickly twisted his body and turned his palms again to grab Li Hu.
This time, there was a strong and ruthless look in his eyes.
This damn coward actually dares to hide?
"You will suffer a lot today."
Peng Yong had a sullen face and spoke fiercely towards Li Hu, who had just avoided it as if by "luck".
This grasp was more than half as strong as before.
Moreover, he also brought footwork, which vaguely blocked all Li Hu's movement routes.
Li Hu could no longer take another step this time. For a moment, he could only stay in place.
But at this moment, the one-armed man suddenly turned his head.
His gaze was like a sharp, bleeding knife, piercing deeply into Peng Yong's eyes.
Boom!
There seemed to be an explosion in the air, like a huge bell vibrating, rushing straight into Peng Yong's brain.
Buzz!
Peng Yong, who was holding it firmly, suddenly felt his vision go dark, as if someone had stabbed a round hole the size of a fingertip into the Tianling Gai with a sharp knife, and then a huge mace hammer was thrust into it.
The thing was constantly stirring in his mind, making him dizzy and even his internal organs began to feel nauseated.
vomit!
After a few breaths, Peng Yong fell to his knees with a plop, holding his stomach and vomited.
"Brother Peng!"
"This this!"
When the two people behind him saw this scene, they immediately screamed, as if they couldn't believe what they were seeing.
In their eyes, Peng Yong failed to hit the first of his two shots, but was dodged by Li Hu.
This can be said to be Peng Yong's intention to play tricks and his negligence.
But the second time he took action, he clearly had real fire and used all his strength!
But this time, Li Hu just turned around, and Peng Yong fell straight to the ground and vomited!
"How can this be?!"
The two looked at each other with surprise in their eyes.
Li Hu just turned around and glanced at Peng Yong!
Oh!
The sound of vomiting came from Peng Yong.
He only felt that the stirring feeling in his mind became more and more intense, and his internal organs were turbulent. He wished he could vomit all his internal organs to relieve any discomfort!
Tears and snot, mixed with the filth in the stomach, were spit out one after another, making the room extremely dirty and smelly.
"Step aside."
At this moment, Li Hu, who had been silent, finally spoke slowly.
He looked at Peng Yong, who was lying on the ground vomiting, and the other two people standing aside, and their voices and expressions became calmer than ever.
"you…"
At this moment, the two people met his gaze, and a chill ran down their spines, as if they felt a cold air rising from their backs.
Before he had time to think about it, Li Hu had already taken steps towards the two of them.
Boom, boom, boom!
The two of them suddenly felt their hearts startle, as if they were grabbed by an invisible hand, and their faces suddenly turned extremely pale.
And this feeling is getting stronger as Li Hu gets closer!
"Step aside."
The next moment, Li Hu was already standing in front of them.
That look, and even the coldness in the depths of his eyes, have never been seen in the past three years.
thump!
The pressure around them seemed to be getting bigger and bigger, and eventually, the two men stumbled and fell to the ground.
They couldn't even control their body shape and fell straight into Peng Yong's vomit.
For a moment, only Li Hu was left standing tall, as if looking at the ugly appearance of the three people, and also seemed to be meditating on something.
The next moment, he stepped out, facing the morning light, and walked towards the school field.
The three people who had bullied me in every possible way were now unable to bear even a look in their eyes.
No one knows what happened to him overnight, but from today on, there is no trace of the obedient young man from the ancient village.
Break away from disasters in dreams and establish a fearless mind,
All kinds of practice start from this.
