Chapter 155 The Unlucky Mountain
“Can your body resist bullets?”
“Yes, but the hits were not on the vital parts of the body.” Lu Xiangyi took a sip of tea.
“After Jin Chi, they conducted two more tests following the same steps, and both failed without exception. This should be because the bodies of those people you mentioned were not strong enough to withstand the impact of the medicine.”
"What's wrong?" Lu Xiangyi asked subconsciously when he found Wang An staring at him.
“What are you carrying with you?” Wang An pointed at Lu Xiangyi’s upper body.
Lu Xiangyi smiled and unbuttoned his outer coat to reveal the vest underneath. At first glance, it looked like a down jacket. But upon closer inspection, it was extraordinarily strong and not fluffy at all. It felt like it was filled with sand.
“Is it filled with sand?”
“Iron sand.” Lu Xiangyi said with a smile.
“Iron sand? Special equipment, used for practicing?”
“Yes.” Lu Xiangyi smiled and nodded.
“Are you also making preparations?”
"I want to try it too." Lu Xiangyi didn't hide it at all. He also wanted to try the Red Pill, but after careful comparison, his current physical fitness was more than a little worse than before Jin Chi took the Red Pill, so he Now I have started to pick up the previous practice methods again. After all, you have to be strong to make iron.
“The power of this red pill is too strong. Haven’t you thought of other methods, such as the pill from Faxing Temple? That pill should be milder.”
"The elixir of Faxing Temple was studied many years ago. Although the medicinal properties of the elixir are milder, it cannot be taken casually. It needs to meet certain conditions and must have a strong foundation in Buddhist Kung Fu. According to You said it's not that easy to break your physical limits.
The above have specially selected a group of people to start special training, with the purpose of preparing for this Red Pill. "
“What, are you planning to train a group of super soldiers?”
Hehe, Lu Xiangyi laughed twice.
“Hey, let me tell you something else. Do you want to take on a disciple?”
“Apprentice? Not accepted.” Wang An was stunned for a moment, then shook his head without hesitation.
“Don’t refuse so decisively. I have a friend who loves to learn Tai Chi and is very obsessed with it. However, he has never been able to find a suitable master. He asked me to help. Didn’t I think of you right now?”
“This friend of yours is not you, is it?”
“Am I going to go around in such a big circle? I just want to learn how to say no to you. Can you not teach me?”
“I still say the same thing, I won’t accept disciples.”
“It’s a woman, a very beautiful one!”
“Female?” Wang An stared at Lu Xiangyi.
“I remember you said that you also have a sister named Lu Siying, can’t it be her?”
“My sister is my sister, how can we be friends? It’s not her. Of course, if you want to teach her, I can let her follow. To tell you the truth, we are from a big family.”
"Then it's even more difficult to teach. There are too many things to do." Wang An said after hearing this.
"If you don't agree, forget it." Seeing that Wang An had no intention of letting go, Lu Xiangyi stopped talking about the matter. After chatting with him for a few words, Lu Xiangyi took out an ID and handed it to Wang An.
"this is yours."
"what?"
Wang An took it and took a look, "Special Affairs Bureau, consultant, are you now established?"
“It’s established.” Lu Xiangyi nodded.
"It seems like you have a lot of power!" Wang An looked at the certificate in his hand, "Hey, if I encounter something special in the future, can this certificate be of some use?"
“It works, as long as it’s not against the law or discipline.” Lu Xiangyi said with a smile.
While they were talking here, Lu Xiangyi's phone rang. After saying a few words, he left in a hurry.
Wang An sat on the sofa and looked at the information in his hand, thinking about the feeling when Xiong Shan and Jin Chi met and fought. Suddenly there was an urge to try the red pill.
“Wait a little longer, we haven’t reached the limit yet.”
Thinking of the limit, Wang An felt that he had to consider changing to a different place now. Not only was this place small, too much movement would attract the attention of the surrounding neighbors.
My hometown is a nice place, with mountains and rivers. It is also close to the two old people, making it easy to take care of them. But he had to think of a suitable excuse, and since the two old men were always urging them to get married, he couldn't continue to lie.
“Is it a suitable place?” Wang An leaned on the sofa with his eyes closed, carefully thinking about where to find a suitable place.
When in doubt, ask your friends. After thinking for a while, he decisively called Li Xinzhu.
“What, it’s a mountain, it’s remote, it’s close to a river or the sea, what are you going to do?”
“Cultivation.”
“I’ll go, this is all on your mind!” Li Xinzhu, who was on the other end of the phone, sighed after hearing this.
"Sure, I understand. I will immediately arrange for someone to inquire." Li Xinzhu didn't hesitate. If Wang An wanted to find Shan, he would help him find it.
“Hey, there’s one more thing to tell you. Remember what we heard about the beggar disappearing when we had the buffet last time? It’s true, and people here also saw it.”
“Didn’t you report the crime?”
“What kind of case should I report? A wandering beggar with no relatives and no friends disappears just as he disappears. Who will pay attention?”
“Sure, got it.”
Wang An didn’t think much about it. Then he went out and bought a few large baskets and placed them in the yard, and put some bricks and stones in the baskets to hold them down.
He is preparing to practice basket walking. In fact, he didn't know how much practicing basket walking would improve his light weight skills. He practiced walking bricks, practicing cylinder walking, and then practicing basket walking. This was something he had originally planned, and now he just wanted to do it. Try it.
The rim of the basket is very narrow. Wang An jumped slightly, flew up like a bird, and then landed on the basket. The basket was suddenly deformed by the pressure.
In any case, where is his body weight? After these days of exercise, his bones and muscle density are naturally much higher than those of ordinary people, and his weight is naturally heavier than that of ordinary people of the same body type. On a lot.
The body landed on the basket, and the feet exerted force, with a slight click and a flick, and then the other person bounced up from the foothold of the square inch.
"This basket is different from the bricks and the water jar. This basket is not that strong. It is much softer, but more flexible."
Wang An felt the feeling under his feet as he walked.
“Can’t stay for a long time, otherwise the basket cannot bear the weight of the body.”
After practicing for a while, Wang An got off the basket.
"That flying on the grass is not reliable no matter how you think about it. A small piece of grass cannot bear the weight of one or two hundred kilograms." Looking at the basket in front of him, Wang An thought of the legendary flying on the grass and Dengpingdu. Light skills such as walking on water and walking on snow without leaving a trace.
“Even if you move quickly, it’s difficult to do it. After all, the weight will really fall down the moment you set foot, unless you use a special method to reduce your weight.”
While thinking about this, the little tabby cat jumped up slightly and landed on the basket. As a result, he lost his balance and fell into it.
Meow,
He went outside to find a stone block weighing more than a thousand kilograms to use to exercise strength. He raised the stone pillar with both arms, feeling the pressure on his arms and the tightness of his muscles.
Huh, hiss, his breathing was still even and slow.
The limit is tested by continuously increasing the weight and increasing the load and frequency of exercise.
One day later, Wang An drove home again. The two old men looked good, but his grandmother coughed from time to time, which made Wang An faintly worried.
At any rate, he took the two old people to the city and had a comprehensive physical examination, especially for his grandma.
“According to the current examination results, there is no sign of spread, which is pretty good.” The doctor’s words made Wang An feel slightly relieved, but at the same time, he felt a sense of urgency.
There is none now, but what should he do if it starts to spread?
Not two days after returning to Hu'an from the mountain village, Li Xinzhu came to see him.
"The thing you asked me to do last time has been fulfilled again. I found a mountain about forty kilometers east of Hu'an City, with An River next to it. Do you have time to go and have a look?"
“Okay, let’s do it now.” Wang An said hurriedly after hearing this.
Li Xinzhu drove him for more than an hour and arrived at a barren mountain.
“Is that the mountain?” Li Xinzhu pointed to a mountain in the distance in the car. The mountain looked quite steep and looked like dog ears.
Li Xinzhu drove the car in a roundabout way to a small mountain village at the foot of the mountain.
"That's it. We have to walk the rest of the way."
The road up the mountain passed through this small mountain village. The village was very small, with only a few dozen families. It was so cold that I saw two people on the road, and it was deserted.
“There are not many people in this village, and the remaining ones are some elderly people. In addition, this mountain is a bit weird, and even people in this village rarely go up the mountain.”
“Weird, what is weird?”
“It’s haunted.” Li Xinzhu said after thinking for a moment.
"Haunted?" Wang An was slightly startled when he heard this.
"Well, I heard that a few years ago, a family on the mountain was murdered for no apparent reason, and the murderer was never found. After that, when someone went up the mountain, they saw something floating in the woods, like a person, and two people. I was scared to death, and since then there have been a lot of people going up this mountain.”
“Really?” Wang An smiled after hearing this.
“I’ve been to this mountain once. To be honest, it felt a bit eerie when I entered it.”
The two of them were talking as they went up the mountain. The trees on the mountain were very lush, with many pines and cypresses. It was winter and the weather was cold. At this time, the sun in the sky was a little pale and weak, as if they didn't wake up last night. This They were the only two people in the quiet mountain forest, and they saw two birds along the way.
“There are very few birds here!” Wang And said.
“Well, isn’t that weird?”
“Did you come by yourself last time?”
“There is another person.” Li Xinzhu said.
This mountain does not look very high from below, but the way up the mountain is very steep.
“This mountain is called Maoerjian because it is shaped like a cat’s ear. There is a particularly steep ridge in front of it.”
As he spoke, he arrived at a winding path that went up the mountain diagonally, with rocks on one side and a cliff more than 300 meters deep on the other. The widest part of this path was only one meter, and the narrowest part was even less than half a meter.
Walking on this road, the peaks roared in, making people unable to stand still.
“Two live broadcasters fell off this road two years ago.”
“It’s very dangerous.” Wang And said.
"This mountain has cliffs on two sides and rugged rocks on one side. The side we are walking on is slightly better, but we still have to pass through this road."
This dangerous winding mountain trail is about two hundred meters away. The further up the mountain, the more Wang An becomes satisfied with this place.
It’s remote, rarely populated, and the terrain is dangerous. What a great place!
The two of them went up. It was winter and the weather was cold. It was even colder and the wind was strong on this mountain. Looking from a distance, there were other mountains surrounding this place connected to the top of the mountain, but they were all lower than this place.
What is surprising is that there is a small pool on the top of the mountain, which is irregular in oval shape and there is no ice in this place.
“Look over there is the Anhe River!” Wang An pointed to the southeast of the mountain, where a large river flowed through the foot of the mountain.
“Yes, this place is great!”
“Are you really interested in this place?”
“It’s pretty good.” Wang An nodded, “It’s just that it’s not convenient to eat.”
"Going down the mountain, there are several restaurants in the town five or six miles away. There is another problem. There is no place to live on this mountain."
"Isn't there a cave?" Good night pointed to a cave on the cliff four or five meters below the top of the mountain, with a cliff of several hundred meters below.
“I’m going, that place is too dangerous!” Li Xinzhu felt terrified just looking at it.
“It’s okay.” Wang An said with a smile.
He looked around, already thinking about where to start training, how to improve himself, and how to test his limits.
There is no shortage of rocks here. You can use the rocks to exercise strength and endurance. The rugged side of the rocks leads to the distance and is connected to other peaks.
“That’s it, the way up the mountain doesn’t have to go through a mountain village, right?”
“There is another road, which is a small path that bypasses the mountain village.” Li Xinzhu said.
“Let’s go down the mountain.” Wang And said.
"Wait a minute, what do you think that is?!" Li Xinzhu suddenly stopped and pointed at a figure passing by in the mountains in the distance. It looked like a person no matter how he looked.
“Is it a human being?”
“Hiss, it’s not a human, it’s a monkey.” Wang An saw the thing with his own eyes.
“Monkey, do you see clearly?”
“See clearly, it’s okay, let’s go.”
When going down the mountain, they took another road when they were about to reach the mountain village. Sure enough, there was no one here.
Once the place was chosen, Wang An was ready to move there and practice cultivation in the mountains for a period of time. The more than 40 kilometers to Hu'an City was actually not that far away. If Wang An ran as fast as he could, he could even get there faster than a car.
One day later, Wang An went to the mountain and began to practice.
The method he chose was very simple: lift the stone, lift it in the direction when it weighs a thousand pounds, repeat it over and over, and then run up the mountain with the stone on his back.
The mountain didn't look very big from a distance. In fact, the area on the mountain was quite large. He ran around the top of the mountain. The top of the mountain was rugged and there was no road at all. It was surrounded by cliffs. If you were not careful, you might fall off. If it were stronger than him, it would probably be tough.
