Chapter 3 Nanshan County - Preparations
The small mountain village is about 60 kilometers away from Nanshan County, which is the information that Pang Xie heard in the small town of Kaiyang.
In addition, from the information given by all the merchants in the town, he learned that there are two boxing gyms in Nanshan County, namely the Tiger Boxing Gate and the Gravel Martial Arts Gym, and the largest power institutions are the county government and the city defenders.
The details of it have not been carefully observed by these merchants, so they are not clear, but it is enough for Pang Xie, because Nanshan County is sure that there is a martial arts technique he needs!
The speed of the regular horse-drawn carriage is 5-10 km/h, and due to the rough roads on the way, it is estimated that it will take nearly 10 hours to reach Nanshan County, so Pang Xie abandoned the car after a distance from the village and drove the horse only.
At the current speed of about 40 kilometers per hour, it only takes less than two hours to reach Nanshan County! At this speed, as long as there is not too much intersection with passers-by on the road, it will be difficult for others to know his origin and whereabouts after arriving in Nanshan County, and even the villagers cannot guess that he will come to Nanshan County at this time.
It would be much easier to do that! It was all in his plan.
When he came to Nanshan County this time, he brought a half-meter-long short knife, a 20cm-long knife and silver taels.
In addition, there is a small piece of fabric cut from the quilt when Mr. Pang saw him, if there is a chance, he wants to search for its source, and then confirm whether the blood relationship of this body will bring him hidden dangers, and it is a reasonable idea to find the hidden dangers in advance and let him be stillborn. As for the paper with the birthday written on it, it was just regular paper, and it was burned by him.
After this period of training, his coordination and movement level have reached the level of gymnasts and extreme parkour enthusiasts in his previous life. With his current force value, a few strong men should not be a threat in his eyes.
Although the strength of the fist is far from the 223kg recorded in the previous life, it is estimated that it is only a little more than half, but it is much stronger than the average adult.
The happiest thing for him is that the leg sweep is estimated to be 500kg, the strong leg strength, coupled with the small weight of the current child, whether it is a close-range change of direction or a short sprint, its speed has far exceeded the previous world record!
He expects his current 100-meter sprint to be under 8 seconds! Since there is no precise timing and measurement equipment, he has now quantified it with mental arithmetic and experience.
......
Today's weather is very good, the sun rises in the east, sprinkled into Nanshan County, and the dew that has accumulated on the leaves of the weeds in the corners of the city wall has not been dried by the sun.
All kinds of small vendors' carts and goods have been set up on the streets of Nanshan County, and the doors of all restaurants and teahouses have been opened.
Only occasionally did a person enter the gate, and the two guards with spears stood on either side of the gate, somewhat listlessly.
A hundred meters away, Pang Xie slowly led the horse to the city gate, while looking at the city wall of Nanshan County, the front of the city wall is about a thousand meters long, nearly 10 meters high, there are some algae plants crawling on the outer wall, and the gaps between the bricks and stones seem to have been exposed because of years of wind and rain.
As he passed the gates, the guards glanced down at Pang Xie out of the corner of his eye and ignored him.
At this time, Pang Xie still had the hairstyle of his schoolchildren, with all his hair on the top of his head, tied into a small upright column on the top of his head, and the clothes were made of good materials in the town, making people look like schoolchildren from the county college.
After entering the city, Pang Xie first found a store, booked a room, and let the store house with horses. Staying in the hotel for nearly 100 yuan a day, because he has 200 taels of silver in his waist, he should not have to worry about lack of money for a long time recently.
The currency and prices here are similar to those in ancient times, 1 tael of gold can be exchanged for 10 taels of silver, 1 tael of silver can be exchanged for 1000 taels of money, and ordinary people only consume 4 to 5 taels of silver a year.
At this time, it was close to noon, Pang Xie walked out of the store and walked to the largest restaurant on the avenue near the city gate, and at this time the number of people in the hall gradually increased, and Pang Xie walked to a special table on the second floor and sat down.
The tables are separated by screens, and you can see the avenue opposite the city gate, and on both sides of the road, many vendors on their own carts are shouting and shouting.
"Guest, do you want to order anything?
A shopkeeper came over and bent down and smiled and handed Pang Xie a menu book, and then quietly bowed to the side and waited for a response.
Pang Xie said with an unhappy expression on his face:
"The family always asked the invited master to force me to study, I want to come here to see if there is anything interesting to see"
Then, with a nonchalant expression, he pinched out a piece of broken silver and threw it on the table, and said:
"Tell me what I want to know, this is yours"
Xiao Er's eyes lit up, looking at this broken silver, it is estimated that there are one or two weights, such a wide reward is estimated to be rare once a month, and he can also get a lot after giving a part to the boss. Then he quickly replied:
"Objective, I must know everything"
"Speaking of fun places......
Before Xiao Er finished speaking, Pang Xie interrupted:
"Don't talk about anything else, I heard that there seem to be two martial arts halls here, you can tell me about it first."
Pomchet's eyes kept scanning the vendors down the street, as if looking for something interesting. Xiao Er choked, he still wanted to talk about some beautiful pavilions.
Glancing at Pang Xie, he suddenly felt that it was normal for children to be interested in martial arts after they were fed up with the boredom of studying, but it was expensive to practice martial arts, and it was tiring and painful, not to mention that it might not necessarily bring results, so at present, they felt that studying to gain fame was the best way out.
It's just that Xiao Er doesn't care about these now, and the most important thing is to answer the questions first to satisfy Pang Xie and then get the reward. So he said:
"There are two martial arts halls in the city, namely the Tiger Fist Gate and the Gravel Martial Arts Hall, and the martial arts halls have hundreds of people, and their strength is about the same."
"There are the most masters in the Tiger Fist Gate, but in general, the Gravel Martial Arts Hall seems to be more powerful, and it is said that the owners of the two martial arts halls are all martial arts masters who have entered the stream, and they can split a tree with a thick waist with one hand."
Xiao Er said with a hint of envy in his eyes.
"The famous martial arts of the owner of the Tiger Boxing Gym are Tiger Boxing, the most powerful martial arts of the Gravel Martial Arts Gym are Gravel Boxing and three-way springing legs, and the strongest Tan Zhutou in the city is the three-way springing leg that is practiced"
"The old owner of the Gravel Martial Arts Pavilion used to be the most powerful, and he used a gravel fist to split the waist-thick trees of the two of them, but now it seems that he is in poor health because of his age."
......
Listening to Xiao Er's continuous narration, suddenly there were some shouts and scolding from the street, and I saw three strong men along the street constantly receiving something from the vendors, and at the same time kept shouting and urging.
Xiao Er saw that Pang Xie was interested in this, so he said:
"It's this street that collects premiums, and behind them is the Gravel Martial Arts Hall. It is said that this new pavilion owner loves money very much, as the son of the old pavilion owner, he inherited the Gravel Martial Arts Pavilion, and then successively occupied many shops in the city, and at the same time, the rules of collecting premiums began to rise on the street, and Tan Zhutou was adopted by the old pavilion owner, and he was the senior brother of the new pavilion owner, so the county officials also turned a blind eye to this."
Then Xiao Er looked around, and then whispered:
"It is said that the county lord has taken some of the benefits here, and the power of the Gravel Martial Arts Hall is greater than that of the Tiger Fist Gate."
......
In the evening, Pang Xie returned to the booked guest room, this day was also quite tiring, after leaving the restaurant, he continued to ask around all day long, but it was nothing, mainly learning to act as a normal active teenager with curiosity A little tired.
He hoped that all kinds of peerless martial arts secrets would continue to fall from the sky, and he walked around the house slowly to select, and then read and studied......
Lie in bed and think about the day's harvest.
Pang Xie learned that the guarantee of the people in the city was needed to enter the martial arts hall to study, because the two martial arts halls were mainly for the county government and the city guards to train fast catchers and soldiers, and the county government and the city guards also provided convenience for the operation and industry of the martial arts hall in all aspects, and the existence of the guarantor could facilitate the possibility of the disciples defecting or leaking the exercises.
Therefore, in order to reduce the trouble, Pang Xie intends to prioritize to observe if there is an opportunity to steal the exercises.
When it comes to stealing, you first need to know the geography.
During the day, Pang Xie walked around the city and its surroundings. It was found that the length and width of the city were about 1 kilometer, and there was a city gate in the center of the city wall on the north and south sides, and the city gate was closed at night, and the documents could only be opened for passage.
Five miles to the west of the city is the mountain forest of the Hengchao Mountains, and the western part of the mountains is nowhere;
To the north of the city is the main road to the city of Namyangju;
To the south is the town of Kaiyang and the small mountain village from which he came;
To the east is a wooded hill, 60 km from the city is the city of Donglim County, Namyang State, and 150 km east is Wakaliuju City.
If a retreat was planned, Pang Xie planned to set the eastern part of the hills full of mountains and forests, whose terrain was not suitable for a large number of men and horses to pursue, and to the east was Ruoliuzhou.
It is said that if Liuzhou City is the most prosperous in Kaitai Province, Nanyang Prefecture, where Pang Xie is currently located, has only just entered the top ten.
Next, let's find out the distribution of the houses and guards of the two martial arts halls, and act tonight!
Late at night, only the lights in some famous shops and large homes are lit, and the courtyard is full of dappled shadows of trees or the reflection of houses.
The outlines of the houses could be faintly seen in the faint starlight on the roads of the city, and the surrounding darkness was shrouded in darkness, and the city began to seem extremely silent.
Pang Xie was dressed in black clothes and covered his face, only revealing a pair of eyes, and at this time, his hands were grasping on the top of the eastern outer wall of the Broken Stone Martial Arts Pavilion, and his head was exposed to the wall to observe the internal situation of the Martial Arts Pavilion.
"No one has come here to patrol, or hasn't patrolled here yet?"
He thought to himself. He then climbed over the wall with his hands so hard that his feet landed on the gym floor with little to no sound, as he used nearly every joint from his toes to his ankles to his waist as long as he could.
He was already skilled at these movements, and he could make sure that people two meters away could not hear his landing and footsteps.
Ponsei continued to move along the shadows of trees or buildings in the light, and after passing a vast field presumably a training ground, he finally found a complex of buildings with the most lights around it.
It is the three buildings with the layout of the finished word, and the personnel are also the most strictly guarded, and there is a plaque hanging on the top of the door of the largest building in the middle, with the three words Chuanwu Pavilion written. Twenty guards stood around the building under the corridor at the edge of the house.
Pang Xie learned that the old owner of the Gravel Martial Arts Pavilion had set a rule, and there were two martial arts books in the Chuan Wu Pavilion, and qualified disciples could challenge them, if they could survive twenty moves under the strongest person in the hall without falling off the challenge platform, they could choose a martial arts on the spot, and it was said that Tan Zhutou only became famous after this challenge was successful.
Pang Xie changed the edge of the roof of a building next to him, waiting for his guards to change shifts, observing the way of changing shifts, and after waiting for six hours, Pang Xie found that the guards changed shifts every two hours, and there was a blank guard gap of about 5 seconds on the side of a house during the shift change.
Knowing that the doors and windows of the Chuanwu Pavilion were unlocked because they were often opened and used to practice martial arts, Pang Xie thought that the side window could be used as an entrance.
Five seconds wasn't enough time for him to rush through the open space around the Pavilion and enter the Pavilion again, but his smaller body was just enough to hide in the shadow cast by the railing of the corridor at the edge of the room during a shift change, and then wait until the next shift break before entering the Martial Arts Pavilion.
After that, Pang Xie followed the shadows and turned out of the gravel martial arts hall, and tonight he was going to visit another martial arts hall at night, so he ran along the shadow of the corner wall towards the Tiger Fist Gate.
......
Ponsei returned to his room from the window at four o'clock in the morning and slept until noon. After waking up in the morning, Pang Xie finally decided to target the Gravel Martial Arts Hall.
The first is that the Tiger Boxing Gate has a close relationship with the defenders of the city, and it is said that they react extremely quickly, and Pang Xie saw that there were still many people practicing boxing and fighting in the dark night.
The second reason is that from the past to the present, the martial arts practiced by the strongest people in the county are all in the gravel martial arts hall, and the placement of martial arts books is extremely clear.
The third is that Pang Xie knew that the Gravel Martial Arts Hall had indeed accumulated money through various improper means, so that he had truly surpassed the Tiger Fist Gate in terms of overall strength.
As a person under the education of modern civilization, Pang Xie felt that there was no psychological pressure on the martial arts of the Broken Stone Martial Arts Gym, and he was even a little excited! Although their martial arts could be written down silently after being stolen, the loss was not great!
After making other preparations during the day, Pang Xie recuperated. Be prepared to do it again at night, because in the shadow of the night, his figure can be perfectly hidden!
