"Old Zhu, watch your step. You haven't had as much time to train as us. If you can't walk, don't try to be so stubborn."
Shi Guozhong looked at Zhu Kaijiang who insisted on following them to walk along the cliff and reminded him.
Zhu Kaijiang trembled as he leaned on his hiking stick and barely kept up with the others, but his breathing was wheezing like a bellows.
"Don't worry, I'll pay attention."
There is a cliff on the left and a precipice on the right. If you fall down, you will be smashed to pieces.
He also didn't expect that these people's so-called body-building was so thrilling, and they could find a road that was directly blocked like this one.
After witnessing An Jingzhi's abilities and seeing the progress of Shi Guozhong and the others, Zhu Kaijiang had his own thoughts. As the saying goes, who would want to die if they could live longer?
There is another most important reason. If no one in the country can master this extraordinary ability, who will stop them if they turn against these people in the future?
Even though this ability of his came from An Jingzhi, if An Jingzhi turned against them in the future, he would not be able to do anything to him, but at least he had some understanding of the other party's abilities, so he would not be in the dark.
Since he was already later than the others, he couldn't get any special treatment, otherwise he didn't know when he would be able to catch up with them.
Back then, he could climb up such a cliff with his eyes closed, but now he has to accept his age.
Zhu Kaijiang sighed.
Looking at the old lady Zhang who was walking as fast as the wind in front of me, I disappeared from sight in the blink of an eye.
With such ability, could he aim accurately with a bullet? He knew without even thinking that it was impossible.
Unless more lethal weapons are used.
This group of people must be won over if possible, but fortunately, after interacting with them, he found that they were all ordinary people and had no dissatisfaction or resentment towards the country.
"It's steeper ahead. You probably can't climb up by yourself. I'll pull you up later." Lao Zhou and Shi Guozhong followed Zhu Kaijiang on his left and right.
Zhu Kaijiang smiled and thanked the two of them. There was a steep slope of about 70 degrees ahead, and he really couldn't climb it without their help.
After practicing with An Jingzhi for a few days, he could feel that his physical condition was getting better and better. Before, he had to see a doctor every few days, but now he knew he was fine without a check-up.
But faced with this 70-degree steep slope, he really couldn't climb it with his bare hands without any tools.
"Old Zhu, why are you being so polite to us? We are fellow travelers from now on. In this world, apart from Master An, I guess we are the only ones of the same kind. We must help each other." Old Zhou said indifferently.
Zhu Kaijiang had an idea. In the past few days, he received information from Xu Huafeng. Whether it was the Taoist masters or the Buddhist abbots, they all said that there were no immortal cultivators.
He pretended to be curious and asked, "Old Zhou, are you saying that we are the only practitioners in the world? Is that what Master An said?"
Old Zhou said proudly, "Of course it's only us. This is all fate. We are the only ones in the whole world who are qualified to practice with Master An."
"Master An said that the spiritual energy in this world is too thin to support so many practitioners. It is only because of our fate that we are able to gather together."
Thin spiritual energy? Another new word.
Zhu Kaijiang asked, "Is this spiritual energy the same spiritual energy we absorb during meditation?"
Shi Guozhong nodded and said, "Yes, if we want to practice Taoism, we must absorb the spiritual energy between heaven and earth and use it as a medium to cleanse ourselves. However, the spiritual energy in this world is limited and cannot accommodate so many practitioners."
"I don't know if there were any practitioners in the past, but Master An said that there are only a few of us in the world today."
There are only a few of them, which means that their previous speculation that An Jingzhi has a master behind him is false.
But it cannot prove that what the other party said is necessarily true, so it is still impossible to determine whether there is someone behind An Jingzhi. A cultivation method like this must have a tradition. Zhu Kaijiang still tends to believe that An Jingzhi has a master or a master behind him.
But at the same time, he also breathed a sigh of relief. Since An Jingzhi said this to Lao Zhou and the others, it at least proved that, apart from An Jingzhi's possible master, they were the only ones in the world who possessed this ability.
Old Yang turned to the three people behind him and said, "Stop chatting and watch your step."
He said this mainly to Zhu Kaijiang. The others were not worried because Zhu Kaijiang had just been practicing with An Jingzhi for a few days and was now considered the same kind of person as them, so Old Yang gave him more advice.
Zhu Kaijiang stopped asking for information and looked at the steep cliff in front of him, which was at an angle of more than 70 degrees. The smooth stones in the sun reflected a dazzling light.
This route was newly opened up by everyone. It was not the route they took before. Although the previous route was also very steep and required climbing, the angle was at most forty-five degrees, and he could barely keep up.
"Old Zhu, why don't you go around to the top of the mountain and wait for us? It's not easy to climb."
Even professional rock climbers might not be able to climb up this smooth stone surface and inclined slope.
"I'll try it. If it doesn't work, I'll come down." Zhu Kaijiang said.
"Okay, Lao Zhou and I will keep an eye on it for you down there." Seeing that he insisted, Shi Guozhong had no choice but to agree.
…
"ah!"
"Old Zhu!"
An Jingzhi, who was sitting cross-legged on the top of the mountain, moved his ears and suddenly heard two screams.
The next second he suddenly stood up, rushed to the cliff next to him, jumped down in one step, and flew away.
Zhu Kaijiang originally wanted to give it a try. With Lao Zhou and Shi Guozhong helping him, he was still very relieved. But when he climbed halfway up the mountain, he suddenly felt a surge of strength in his body.
He felt that he could still barely hold on to climb to the top of the mountain. His limbs were trembling, and he was only one step away from reaching the summit.
But who would have thought that an accident would happen at this moment.
The rock he was using his right hand for leverage suddenly gave way. Seeing that he was about to reach the summit, Lao Zhou and Shi Guozhong below also relaxed their focus.
So the accident happened. Zhu Kaijiang fell directly from the top of the mountain. Shi Guozhong, Lao Zhou, and Lao Yang who were on the top of the mountain trying to pull Zhu Kaijiang up didn't even have time to react.
Zhu Kaijiang fell directly from the steep wall.
They were already next to a cliff. If they fell down like this, Zhu Kaijiang would directly fall to the bottom of the mountain and be completely destroyed.
Listening to the whistling sound of the wind in his ears, Zhu Kaijiang felt that time had never passed as slowly as it did today. He recalled the past and his old brothers on the battlefield in his mind.
Finally, his gaze fixed on An Jingzhi's face.
He did not regret what he had done, but it was a pity that he had not yet started practicing.
If he had learned it, he could have passed it on to the country. What a pity...
