Chapter 112: Born a tiger, strong inside and out
Chen Jue regretted accompanying A Biao to drink, because after getting drunk, this guy started talking nonsense and really got into a fight in the local restaurant.
He wasn't drunk and he didn't smash anything, but his voice became higher and higher. It might be that he finally released the feelings that had been suppressed for a long time.
Seeing that the situation was not going well, Chen Jue had no choice but to settle the bill, carry Wang Biao on his back, and quickly walk out of the town.
Since both of them were drunk, Chen Jue did not drive Wang Biao's car, but instead carried the nearly 170-pound strong guy on his back and sped along the mountain road.
With Chen Jue's current strength and stamina, it would be no problem for him to carry a drunk person for several kilometers on the mountain road.
He also has a set of 70KG weights at home!
Before his strength attribute broke 2, Chen Jue jogged around the reservoir carrying the 70KG weight. Now his strength attribute has reached 2.94 and is almost on the verge of breaking 3, so carrying the 170-pound Wang Biao is naturally no problem for him.
…
After returning to the old house in Wazhai and putting Wang Biao to bed, Chen Jue felt a little tipsy. He went to the yard to practice Tai Chi for a while, letting the alcohol in his body evaporate through sweat. Then he took a hot bath and went into the house to sleep.
The next day, Wang Biao, who had drunk too much the night before, woke up after sleeping until 8 o'clock. Compared with Chen Jue's energetic appearance, Wang Biao was obviously listless.
This is the behavior when you wake up the next day after being drunk. You should know that the damage caused by alcohol to the brain is an irreversible chronic loss that is difficult to recover.
If the two had not expressed their true feelings yesterday and had not had that Tiger's fuss, and had not talked to each other for a long time, Chen Jue probably would not have accompanied Wang Biao to drink so much.
After washing up, the two walked slowly to the town while chatting to have breakfast, and then got into Wang Biao's SUV and headed for Gongshan Scenic Area.
Originally, Chen Jue didn't want to go to crowded tourist attractions. If he had the time, he might as well go to the deep mountains and forests to look for medicine and practice martial arts.
It was only because of his roommate's insistence, and because he felt that the other party was kind-hearted and enthusiastic, that Chen Jue accompanied Wang Biao on the trip.
…
The SUV was driving on the highway, with the emerald green Nujiang River on one side and towering green mountains on the other.
The tall trees that stretched to the ground, the majestic and sacred snow-capped peaks in the distance, and the slightly warm golden sunlight in the morning made the two men in the carriage feel happy.
Wang Biao didn't smoke today. It was probably because the drinking last night allowed him to vent the stress in his heart. Although he was not in good shape due to drunkenness, his eyes were bright and full of hope for future life.
Chen Jue folded down the passenger seat and admired the beautiful scenery of Gongshan through the car window. During this time, he also asked Wang Biao if he knew about Dulong River and the Dulong people .
Wang Biao naturally told Chen Jue everything he knew, and also told him some legends that he had heard when he was a child growing up nearby.
It is said that the Dulong people worship the mountain god. Every year on specific festivals, they would slaughter a cow and offer sacrifice to the sky under the auspices of a female priest. They would also drink a kind of bamboo tube wine called "Tongxin Wine", which can be said to have preserved extremely primitive rituals and customs.
However, these were all information that Chen Jue had found on the Internet before, and he had even watched related video recordings, so he didn't take it too seriously.
But when Wang Biao mentioned that in the distant legends of the Dulong people, a natural mountain king who could communicate with mountain gods and wild beasts would appear every few hundred years, Chen Jue immediately sat upright in his seat.
"Is this true? A natural born mountain king?" Upon hearing this, Chen Jue's first reaction was to recall the girl with a basket on her back whom he caught a glimpse of that day by the river in the deep mountains.
"How should I know! My grandparents told me these stories when I was a child. They were Lisu people who grew up in the mountains and they loved to talk about these strange and bizarre legends."
"What's wrong with being able to communicate with animals? It's not a special ability! Isn't it the same when you watch an animal training show in the zoo? Using food to entice the animals to perform is a skill, just like raising cats and dogs, once you feed them well, they will naturally become close to you. The ancients were ignorant and didn't know how to expose it, so they always guessed right."
"That big tiger you brought back yesterday, isn't it the same as taming an animal?"
"I'll tell my son when I get back. I guess next time you come, I'll ask you, the old cat uncle, to show him how to tame a big cat in person!" Wang Biao held the steering wheel and joked a few words nonchalantly.
When Chen Jue heard that he had to pretend to be an animal trainer and please Brother Biao's child as a hush money for the kidnapping of wild tigers, he felt speechless. But when he thought about it carefully, what Brother Biao said made sense.
As mentioned before, the performances of jugglers such as breaking stones with their chests and hitting bricks with their bare hands mostly relied on knowledge of physics. Animal training performances were not uncommon in ancient times. Street performers included trained monkeys, trained dogs, and even trained parrots to tell fortunes.
However, Chen Jue still kept in mind the term "natural mountain king" mentioned by Wang Biao, and planned to find a chance to have a good conversation with the girl with the basket on her back when he met her again.
Just like when he was practicing martial arts and communicating with Master Li Xiangning, the inheritor of the boat fist, Chen Yu had begun to have more expectations and concerns about those strange people and things since he awakened his attribute panel and practiced martial arts and Taoist inner alchemy.
…
When we drove to the Gongshan Scenic Area, we were shocked by the number of tourists. Fortunately, Wang Biao knew a remote route in the scenic area and took Chen Jue on a tour.
The main peak of Gongshan is called Gawa Gap Peak, with an altitude of 5,128 meters. From a close distance, it looks like a masterpiece of nature, majestic and magnificent.
In the scenic area, there are turquoise rushing rivers, verdant green mountains, luxuriant trees, and gurgling streams. The four colors of white, green, blue and yellow are interwoven, and the sounds of monkeys and birds are heard. It is like a paradise on earth. Seeing this, Chen Jue and Wang Biao were relaxed and happy, and said that the trip was worthwhile.
By 3 o'clock in the afternoon, Wang Biao was too tired to walk. As an office worker in a certain unit, he had to take care of his family every day. In terms of physical strength, he was only slightly better than Chen Jue when he worked in Hangzhou.
Panting, he followed Chen Jue out of the scenic area, got on the car, and started heading back to Baoshan City.
Seeing that Chen Jue didn't even take a breath the whole time, and even carried him all the way back to Wazhai from the small town when he was drunk and confused last night, Wang Biao actually had some vague memories.
He felt that after two days of getting along, he could no longer understand his college roommate.
In addition to the commotion caused by the tiger, in Wang Biao's eyes, Chen Jue exuded mystery everywhere. However, the other party had a gentle temperament, and he wanted to get close to him at first sight. In addition, there was a close relationship between the two, so Wang Biao did not dig deeper into the matter.
As a human being, you have to have some little secrets of your own. It is not good to be asked about them by others.
…
After two days of relaxation, Wang Biao, as one of the thousands of family-oriented men, has to rush back to face the mundane life. He is not as free and easy as Chen Jue, and he has to go to work to punch in tomorrow morning.
As for Chen Jue, he got off the car when passing the small town below Wazhai, waved goodbye to Wang Biao, and did not invite him to have dinner together, for fear of delaying him from going home to be with his wife and children.
After two days and one night of getting along, their friendship deepened a lot. Even such a big thing as kidnapping a tiger, Wang Biao did not leak it to outsiders. This is the trust between roommates, and it is also one of the friendships that Chen Jue has to cherish.
…
After watching Wang Biao drive away, Chen Jue had dinner in the town before returning to the old house in Wazhai.
Friends continue to work hard for their own lives, and Chen Jue also has to continue his days of practicing martial arts. Life is actually like this, seemingly dull and disorderly, but always moving forward!
Although it delayed two days and one night, Chen Jue did not feel that he had wasted his time. Instead, it allowed his tense body and mind, which had been stretched from exploring alone in the deep mountains and forests, to relax.
The way of civil and martial arts is to balance relaxation and tension.
Back in the mud-walled house, Chen Jue took out his phone and looked through the information. The newly awakened [Golden Bell Body] and [Tiger Roar? ? ] both indicated the direction of Chen Jue's next practice.
In addition to the two Golden Bell Covers in the database that he could try to practice, Chen Jue also planned to master the Dragon Roar Iron Shirt. He wanted to see what kind of magical linkage effect would occur with the Tiger Roar Golden Bell Cover after this hard skill was perfected.
Just like the [Gestapo] that awakened before, it actually received the bonus of the Boy's Kung Fu, which made Chen Jue's attributes increase dramatically.
In addition, he did not forget to practice the inner alchemy technique of the Great Circulation. However, since the siphon effect caused by adding points to this technique was too strong, Chen Jue could only rely on himself to transport qi and blood for a while and slowly improve his proficiency in this technique.
…
After reading the material for an hour, I felt that I had mastered the practice method.
Chen Jue went to the yard and started with the Dragon Roar Iron Shirt, then moved on to the Shaolin Golden Bell Cover and the Iron Arm Golden Bell Cover. He practiced the three hard skills at the same time and it took him less than half an hour to record them all on the panel to form new skills.
Dragon Roar Iron Shirt is the horizontal training kung fu of Wudang Taihe Sect. With the double buffs of [Lü Zu Enlightenment] and [Gestapo], the progress of training is very fast.
Moreover, this hard skill also has a training method of using sound to strengthen the internal organs, which is similar to the Tiger Roaring Golden Bell Cover which also trains the internal organs.
As for the Shaolin Golden Bell Cover and Iron Arm Golden Bell Cover, they are also affected by the linkage between [Golden Bell Cover Body] and [Gestapo], and are not much slower to practice than the Dragon Roar Iron Shirt.
By 11 o'clock at night, Chen Jue had successfully upgraded all three new hard skills he had learned to Level 1.
During this period, I spent 0.03 attribute points and made up for the remaining 10 points of proficiency.
The siphon effect produced by the three hard skills breaking through level 1 at the same time is very strong, but compared with the situation where the Great Circulation +10 points of proficiency almost drained Chen Jue, it is still a far cry.
Relying on the drinkable nutritional supplements and tonics he brought with him, Chen Jue easily got through this small hurdle.
As for the various attributes, except for intelligence, which remained unchanged, strength and physique each increased by 0.9, agility increased by 0.3, and the health index also increased to 140%.
"The more I practice, the more I look like a muscular man!" Chen Jue couldn't help but complain in his heart. With a clear mind, he felt that after practicing the three new hard skills, his body became stronger and stronger.
It didn't burst the loose sportswear. Instead, the strength began to spread from the outside to the inside, slowly strengthening Chen Jue's internal organs, bones, and fascia, making his body become coordinated and no longer just growing muscles.
