Chapter 284
Train Eunuch said he would take Li Li Banfeng out of the Inner Continent. Li Li Banfeng asked excitedly: "How are we going to get out?"
Huff huff~
Train Eunuch looked at Li Li Banfeng and said: "The train is starting soon. Are you buying a ticket first, or will you pay after getting on?"
Li Li Banfeng blinked: "No, didn't we just say... forget it, I'll buy a ticket first."
You can't reason with Train Eunuch.
Li Li Banfeng took out three hundred yuan: "I'll buy a sleeper."
Train Eunuch was unhappy: "Do you still want to get out?"
"Yes!"
"If you buy a sleeper, can you still get out?"
Is there a necessary connection between these?
Li Li Banfeng took back one banknote: "I'll buy a hard seat then."
Train Eunuch took the money and said: "Get on!"
Li Li Banfeng climbed onto Train Eunuch's back. Train Eunuch pulled the steam whistle and charged out with Li Li Banfeng.
This time, Train Eunuch walked very slowly.
"Passengers, the next station is the dream of Ms. Wang Wang Chunfang. As everyone knows, Ms. Wang Wang Chunfang is very kind. Passengers, please pay more attention to the scenery outside the window."
This person named Wang Wang Chunfang is indeed very kind. She is very friendly to others and hopes that others will treat her with the same friendly attitude.
Unfortunately, this kind of thing can only appear in dreams.
The dream was ordinary, but Train Eunuch repeatedly reminded Li Li Banfeng to pay attention to the scenery outside the window.
Wang Wang Chunfang's dream was a field of bright flowers. After passing through the flowers, there was a black boundary line. On the other side of the boundary line was an ancient city, and thousands of troops were waiting in battle formation below the ancient city.
"The next station is the dream of Mr. Feng Feng Xiqing. Feng Feng Xiqing is an excellent general who has made countless battle achievements."
Li Li Banfeng saw Feng Feng Xiqing's appearance. This person didn't look like an ancient martial general. Judging from his clothes, he looked more like a student from the Outer Continent.
Clearly, he had a dream of being a martial general.
After the ancient city, there was another boundary line. On the other side of the boundary line was a vast ocean, and a strong and handsome man accurately speared a sea fish with a fish spear.
The man held the fish spear and sang loudly amidst the wind and waves.
It seems this person wanted to become a brave sailor.
Not to mention, his figure and skills were quite like a sailor's.
Train Eunuch said: "This is the dream of Mr. Lv Daping. Mr. Lv Daping's biggest dream is to become a fish."
A fish?
Isn't the protagonist that sailor?
Li Li Banfeng looked at the fish on the spear and thought, doesn't Dream-Tethering Tower have no nightmares?
Perhaps being speared by a spear is not a nightmare for him?
After passing through more than a dozen dreams in succession, Train Eunuch pulled the steam whistle and shouted: "The train is about to enter a tunnel. Passengers, please sit firmly and pay attention to safety."
Li Li Banfeng wanted to lower his head, but the surrounding scenery suddenly disappeared, and he fell into emptiness again.
Train Eunuch asked Li Li Banfeng: "Did you see clearly just now?"
Li Li Banfeng said: "I saw some of everyone's dreams."
"I didn't tell you to look at the dreams. What's good about looking at those!"
Not looking at the dreams.
Li Li Banfeng thought for a moment and said: "You let me look at the boundary lines between the dreams?"
Train Eunuch nodded: "That is the true exit of Dream-Tethering Tower. Can you rush out?"
Li Li Banfeng recalled the width of the boundary line and shook his head: "That line is too narrow. I'm afraid I can't get out."
"If I make the line wider, can you get out?" Train Eunuch waved his hand, and a rock three meters square appeared in the dream.
He drew a black line on the rock and wiped it with his hand, and the black line became over a foot wide.
"Can you pass through this?"
Li Li Banfeng looked at the thickness of the rock; it was only about ten centimeters.
"Using the technique of Unimpeded Passage, I should be able to pass through."
"Try it."
Li Li Banfeng took a step to the side of the rock, activated the technique, and then slammed his head into the rock.
This almost broke his head.
Although it was in a dream, Li Li Banfeng felt the pain clearly.
Train Eunuch looked at Li Li Banfeng in astonishment: "Have you always used the Unimpeded Passage technique like this? Our sect's Unimpeded Passage technique uses techniques to pass through obstacles. Simply put, it's the Wall-Passing Technique, not using your head to hit the wall."
Li Li Banfeng pursed his lips, squeezed out a smile and said: "I didn't want to use my head to hit the wall. The technique had a bit of a problem just now."
The problem should be with the dream.
When people are in a dream, sometimes their legs can't exert force.
When running, it's not too obvious, but before using the Unimpeded Passage technique, he had to perform a step first, and the step just now clearly failed.
Train Eunuch made the rock thinner: "Try it again."
Li Li Banfeng rushed to the wall again. This time he didn't hit it; he realized in advance that the technique wouldn't succeed.
Train Eunuch made the rock thinner again: "Try it again."
Try again, still unsuccessful.
Train Eunuch didn't deal with the rock anymore. He looked at Li Li Banfeng, shook his head and said: "You'd better not go out. Stay here and keep me company. You don't have the heart to get out at all."
Li Li Banfeng straightened his expression: "That's not how you say it. This is in a dream; I can't exert force."
"It's indeed hard to exert force in a dream, but you didn't exert force at all. Looking at your footsteps just now, it doesn't look like you're escaping; it looks like you're pulling a rickshaw!"
Li Li Banfeng answered honestly: "My footsteps were indeed learned from a rickshaw puller."
"Running with the thighs leading the calves—this running method has endurance, but it's not fast enough.
If you want to escape the Inner Continent, you need the footsteps of a charge before battle. Your heels are on the line, and it's a bottomless abyss. If you're a step slower, you'll be smashed to pieces. Do you understand?"
Li Li Banfeng shook his head: "Not really."
He really didn't understand.
Since coming to the Puluo Continent, he had always taken advantage of the speed of traveling cultivators. This was the first time he heard that his speed wasn't enough.
Train Eunuch frowned: "You have fifth-layer cultivation, right?"
"Just reached the fifth layer."
"Do you know how to use the fifth-layer technique?"
"Looking at Flowers While Riding a Horse—I've heard of it, but haven't used it. That technique is hard to use."
"Who said it's hard to use?"
"The fifth-layer technique consumes too much. With my current cultivation base, at most I can kill a White Lamb. It's not worth it."
Train Eunuch raised his eyebrows and stared at Li Li Banfeng: "That's because you used the wrong method. I'll show you once, and I guarantee you'll bloom, and bloom very beautifully!"
"I won't bloom!" Li Li Banfeng refused decisively, "Please give me a hint, Senior, what exactly do the footsteps of a charge before battle look like?"
Train Eunuch pointed his toes on the ground and instantly passed through the stone slab: "Do you understand now?"
It would be strange if he could understand.
Train Eunuch didn't explain either. He walked back and forth on both sides of the stone slab: "Look, I came over. Look, I went back. Look, I whistled. Look, I'm smoking. Do you understand now?"
After a few back-and-forth trips, Li Li Banfeng saw some clues.
The toes lead the soles, the soles lead the ankles, the ankles lead the calves, the calves lead the thighs. His footwork was completely reversed from the footwork Li Li Banfeng was familiar with.
Train Eunuch pointed at the rock: "Try it!"
Li Li Banfeng stood up, ran two steps, and fell directly to the ground.
With this running method, the body isn't coordinated, so what technique can he use?
Train Eunuch looked at Li Li Banfeng and pulled the steam whistle: "Woo woo woo~ The train is starting. Passenger, get on quickly."
"Get on what train!" Li Li Banfeng was very annoyed, "I haven't practiced the footwork yet, how can I get out?"
"You're still thinking about getting out?" Train Eunuch's eyes suddenly became sharp, making Li Li Banfeng feel full of chill.
Is this the power of the eyes?
Train Eunuch pulled the steam whistle: "They can't see me now, but they will send people to find me in a while. Once they find me, where will you run!
Killing the enemy before battle, a step slower means being smashed to pieces. Do you understand yet?"
Li Li Banfeng stood up, lowered his hat, and rushed toward the rock again.
He remembered the scene in the valley when he was chased by Qiu Qiu Luoye.
If he had been a step slower then, he really would have been smashed to pieces.
Bang!
As he approached the rock, Li Li Banfeng tripped and fell.
Train Eunuch shook his head: "Not fast enough, far from it!"
Li Li Banfeng climbed up and rushed forward again.
Bang!
This time he rushed to the rock, but didn't have time to use the technique and slammed into the stone slab.
Train Eunuch touched the stone slab with heartache: "It's cracked."
Li Li Banfeng was angry: "Why are you heartbroken over a stone?"
In the emptiness, there was no concept of time. After repeating it who knows how many times, Li Li Banfeng, covered in bruises, finally passed through the rock.
He didn't know if he was really injured; after all, this was a dream.
Just this one success, Li Li Banfeng wanted to practice a few more times, but Train Eunuch felt something was wrong, carried Li Li Banfeng on his back, and rushed to the wilderness where the dreams intertwined again.
"They might send people, let's change places to talk."
Wandering in the wilderness for a long time, watching countless dreams, Train Eunuch whistled again: "Passengers, the train is about to pass through a tunnel. Please sit firmly."
The two entered the emptiness again. Train Eunuch asked: "Do you remember the location of the boundary line?"
Li Li Banfeng stretched his muscles and bones: "Remembered, let's practice two more times."
Train Eunuch shook his head: "It's too late. They will find us soon. They can't do anything to me, but what the consequences for you might be is hard to say.
We will set off in a while. Find an opportunity and rush out immediately. If you can pass through the cracks in the dream, it proves your body is still in the Puluo Continent.
If you find yourself in a dream again after passing through, then there's no way; you definitely can't get out."
Li Li Banfeng was a bit worried: "After I get out, how can I distinguish whether I am in the Puluo Continent or in a dream?"
Train Eunuch smiled: "You are my brother, are you afraid you won't be able to distinguish?"
While speaking, a rustling sound came from his ears.
Li Li Banfeng shouted: "Who is it?"
The rustling sound stopped abruptly. Train Eunuch darkened his face: "A dog came."
Li Li Banfeng shouted again: "What dog?"
The other side didn't respond.
Train Eunuch said: "A dog that wants to be the local god!"
Li Li Banfeng looked at Train Eunuch: "Describing the local god like this, isn't it quite appropriate?"
"What's inappropriate?" Train Eunuch sneered, "If you can return to the Puluo Continent, remember, don't eat elixirs, rest well for two days. You've been running in the Inner Continent for so long; after you go back, your cultivation base will rise, and your body might not be able to take it."
Li Li Banfeng was surprised: "I entered the Inner Continent in a dream, can my cultivation base still grow?"
Train Eunuch smiled: "Our sect, when it reaches a certain level, doesn't walk on the ground anymore.
The sixth-layer technique of the sect is called Breaking the Path and Opening the Way. The key to the technique is to break the path where there is a path, and open a path where there is no path. The means of breaking the path and opening the path all depend on the mind."
Li Li Banfeng said: "I just reached the fifth layer. Isn't it too early to learn the sixth-layer technique?"
"Not early, not early."
While speaking, the rustling sound rang out again.
Train Eunuch said: "You get on the train, I'll beat the dog. There's only one chance, don't drop the chain!"
PS: Why does Train Eunuch help Li Li Banfeng so much?
