Chapter 4 Nanshan County - Stealing Martial Arts
Night.
In the inn room, Pang Xie lifted the black masking around his chin to cover his face, revealing only a pair of eyes, and then jumped out of the window and set off.
Skillfully climbing from the previous corner into the Gravel Martial Arts Pavilion, Pang Xie once again arrived in the shadow of the building next to the Chuanwu Pavilion, only about 30 meters away from the Chuanwu Pavilion.
After waiting for about ten minutes, it was time for the shift change, and when the guards of the old shift had just completely left the wall area on the right side of the Chuanwu Pavilion, Pang Xie quickly rushed to the railing of the corridor on the right side of the Chuanwu Pavilion, the speed was fast but the footsteps were very small, and Pang Xie estimated that he would not be heard at all from three meters away.
After quickly rushing to the railing on the side of the Chuanwu Pavilion, Pang Xie lay motionless in the shadow outside the railing, and the corridor behind the railing was the side window of the Chuanwu Pavilion!
Since the lanterns in the hallway were hung high, the shadow of the railing was just enough to cover Pang Xie's figure, and it was estimated that an adult would have to expose his figure.
At this time, Pang Xie's heart was extremely calm, because even if he was discovered, although he was likely not to win, it was not difficult to escape.
In the next shift change, Pang Xie quickly climbed over the railing, opened the window to enter the Chuanwu Pavilion and closed the window, and the action was done in one go.
During the day, he had found similar terrain for the situation, and Ponsie felt that it should look cool enough to make a good parkour video.
Of course, there was some loud noise when the window was opened and closed, but the width of this side wall was nearly twenty meters, and the shift guards who had not yet reached the corner of the wall were obviously not able to hear it.
To soothe the slightly excited mood, Pang Xie bent down and moved his feet lightly, and glanced at the Chuanwu Pavilion, the gate of the Chuanwu Pavilion came in and was a ten-meter-long and wide platform, the left side was an open space, there was a small table on the right side of the platform, and there were two boxes about 40 centimeters long and wide on the table.
Pang Xie's eyes lit up, this is probably two martial arts, and he slowly walked over and looked at it and found that the box was locked by a metal lock two fingers thick, and it seemed that it couldn't be opened for a while, so he took the box away!
Looking to the right, there is a room on the wall behind the desk, and when I walked in the door, there were three pieces of thin cloth one meter square full of words and some illustrations, and Pang Xie looked at it and found that there were three kinds of martial arts, namely the Ring Body Knife Technique, the Ding Li Fist and the Wooden Palm Technique.
Pang Xie had heard of the Dingli Fist practiced by many disciples of the Gravel Martial Arts Hall, so it was estimated that these were martial arts that were passed on to normal disciples, but it seemed that the number was smaller than what he had heard, but Pang Xie didn't care about the reason.
After getting more and more excited, he grabbed them all at once and took them in his hands, and then returned to the table outside, tied the two boxes together with three pieces of cloth with martial arts written on them so that he could hold them in his hands, and then walked to the window when he came in and waited.
Speaking of which, it should be extremely difficult to climb out of the window after bringing two boxes, unless the boxes are released first, and then jump out of the window, but this is obviously not enough time to put and take it.
Fortunately, his body has not fully grown up, and it is still feasible to jump out of the window with the box on his back. Pang Xie was quietly bent by the window, it was about time for the shift change, and after the last guard walked past the window for a while, Pang Xie gently pushed open the window and leaked a small corner to observe.
After the guard was completely into the corner, he quickly pushed open the window and jumped out of the window, the box he was holding in his hand went out first, then his head and then his body and finally his feet, and his hand holding the edge of the box touched the ground as a cushion before his head was ready to hit the ground.
Then roll forward, then quickly stand up, hold the window that naturally falls halfway down with your right hand, close it gently, and then skillfully climb over the railing and lie in the shadow of the railing outside. When lying on your stomach, hold the box in the direction of your head, so that the box does not stick out of the shadow.
After that, Pang Xie took advantage of the next shift change to run out of the shadows and leave the Chuanwu Pavilion area, and after turning over the wall of the Broken Stone Martial Arts Pavilion, he ran along the shadows of various walls to the east city wall.
Since only the north and south walls have gates, the east walls do not. Therefore, after reaching the edge of the city wall, Pang Xie grabbed the cracks in the bricks and stones hollowed out of the city wall and climbed up. When he climbed down the wall outside, there was already a tethered horse ready to use under the wall.
This is the horse he had prepared in advance by finding the location of the easily climbable city wall on the east side before heading to the Gravel Martial Arts Hall.
Turning over his horse, he rode quickly into the eastern hills, and there was a horse tied to a small grove five hundred meters from the city wall, and as he rode by, he took a knife and cut the horse's rope, and slapped the horse's buttocks with the back of the knife to scare it away.
At this time, around two o'clock in the morning, it is estimated that in four hours, the Gravel Martial Arts Hall will find out that the martial arts have been stolen when the morning practice begins.
It's just that after leaving the city, he can already be sure that all this has nothing to do with him anymore, even if he finds out that Wuxue has been stolen now, as long as his horse is no slower than the messenger who rides a horse to report to other cities.
His plan was to go all the way north, passing through and passing through the Donglin County area, which belonged to Nanyang Prefecture, and not entering its cities, but trekking nearly 100 kilometers into the Ruoliuzhou area.
In this way, the people of the Gravel Martial Arts Hall will definitely not be able to find him again, after all, it is only a force in a small county, even if it is the power of the county government, it is very rare to affect the surrounding counties and districts to let other counties help find people, but he is all across the state, how can he find it?
......
The sky was full of stars, and the moonlight sprinkled on the gravel-paved path like water, illuminating the path a little white, but the surrounding area of the path was so dark that people could only see the outlines of the trees when they tried to open their eyes, and it seemed that the height of the trees in the hilly area was much lower than that in the mountains, and the species were relatively simple.
After leaving the city about 5 km, Pang Xie stopped his horse, untied the box containing the martial arts books, cut the box into several pieces with a few knives, and picked up two half-finger-thick books from the fragments of the box.
Then he took out the fire fold from the bag that had been hanging on the horse's back, lit a candle made of beeswax, and took a closer look to see that the cover was indeed written with a broken stone fist and a three-way spring leg, and when he flipped through it, he found that there were some words and human figure illustrations inside.
At this point, he finally got the martial arts books he needed, Pang Xie looked excited, with a hint of self-satisfaction, and his face was proud, and he joked to himself in his heart after thinking of an advertisement: The Gravel Martial Arts Hall is good, I want to come next time!
Then he walked to the grass on the side of the road, dug a pit with a knife, buried the pieces of the box, then extinguished the candle, put the books and martial arts cloth in his arms, and then turned over and continued to set off with high morale!
At about six o'clock in the morning, some disciples on the side of the Gravel Boxing Pavilion had already begun to practice on the large field behind the Chuanwu Pavilion, and some disciples in the hall held tea kettles and pushed open the door of the Chuanwu Pavilion under the watchful eyes of the guards.
After placing a teapot on the small table at the back edge of the door, he began to open the window from left to right, during which he accidentally looked at the central table on the right side of the sparring platform, and suddenly noticed that the table was empty, his eyes were stunned, and his walking posture suddenly stopped......
"Thief!!"
The disciples who were still practicing martial arts behind the martial arts hall only heard a loud exclamation in the air of the martial arts hall. The guards outside the Chuanwu Pavilion instantly pulled out the big sword at their waists and turned to face the inside of the Chuanwu Pavilion.
In the Chuanwu Pavilion, there were dozens of people standing under the training platform at this time, and there was an old man standing in the center of the platform, who was speechless after listening to the words of the disciples below, as if he was waiting for something.
Under the platform, a middle-aged man wearing golden clothes, with two mustaches, not tall or thin, lowered his head slightly, as if he was holding back anger and helplessness but did not dare to say more. The disciples present who lowered their heads and didn't know where to look knew very well that this was the current hall owner, although he looked like a wealthy businessman, and the old hall owner on the platform.
After a while, a tall middle-aged man came in at the door, his face was majestic and serious, and the disciples all looked at it with a hint of admiration, this was the strongest master in the county, Tan Zhutou. The middle-aged man came over and hugged his fist to the old man on the platform:
"Master, I've heard that anything in the yamen can help!"
The old man's face was a little kinder, and he asked a little softly:
"What do you think should be done?"
Tan Zhutou replied:
"Whoever the thief is, we must first block his possible escape path. ”
"After mixing with the disciples, I sent two teams of men and horses to pursue on the north and south avenues respectively, and the western mountain range is easy to hide, and the large group of men and horses went to the mountain range to intercept the anomalous people, as for the eastern ......"
Tan Zhutou hesitated slightly, and then the old man handed over a letter and said:
"The Donglin County Commander in the east has some friendship with me, first borrow him a favor, and you let him help me go out to hunt for someone quickly!"
Tan Zhutou breathed a sigh of relief:
"It's so good, if you find the nearest strange face and strange person, it shouldn't be so easy for the thief to escape by the avenue"
Tan Zhutou added in his heart: "Maybe", and then said again:
"Let's investigate the details of the theft thoroughly, maybe the thief is still in the city. After all, it is difficult to walk in the dark, and the city gates are closed."
"Then I'm going to trouble you"
The old man said. And glanced at the current hall owner in the audience, and sighed in his heart, thinking that although the martial arts hall's sphere of influence and influence had reached its peak, its overall strength was stronger than that of the Tiger Fist Gate. But the number of people who can be regarded as masters has been thrown farther and farther away by the Tiger Fist Gate, and the martial arts hall has become worse and worse in the city.
......
Of course, Pang Xie didn't know what was happening in Nanshan County, and even if he knew, he would only smile and smile As expected, the Gravel Martial Arts Pavilion does not have the ability to pursue across states.
At around seven o'clock in the morning, an hour after the Broken Stone Martial Arts Hall discovered that the martial arts had been stolen, Pang Xie had already left Nanyang Prefecture and entered a 20km area of a marginal county in Ruoliu Prefecture.
At this time, he had changed to the southeast, although when he entered Ruoliuzhou before, he continued to go 30 km east to the city of this marginal county, but for the sake of safety, he planned to go to the county that was not on the state border, and it was currently set as Sanyang County in the south of Ruoliuzhou City, 60 km away.
After stopping and stopping on the road, sometimes mowing and feeding the horses, Pang Xie arrived in a small town in Sanyang County after about two hours.
"It's a life of exhaustion. ”
Ponsie sighed. Then he changed his clothes in the town, and the horse also changed to a horse, and his name was going to be changed to Wang Gou! This is the name used on the earth in his previous life, "Nanshan County, Nanyang Prefecture was stolen? That was done by Pang Xie, what does it matter to Wang Gou in Liuzhou?" he said in his heart.
After eating and drinking, he returned to his room in an inn in the town, and Pang Xie put out all the martial arts books and read them slowly......
The next day, Ponsei... Uh, no... Wang Gou drove his horse to another town in the southern part of Sanyang County, which he knew was rich in medicinal herbs and was one of the wealthiest towns in the county.
Wang Gou thought that if he wanted to practice martial arts, the medicinal materials he needed could be found in the town, and the county-level cities generally had many people who were much stronger than him, so he planned to retreat and practice martial arts in the town in order to avoid extraneous branches.
Wang Gou spent six taels of silver to buy a small courtyard on the edge of the town, speaking of which, ordinary people in this world can earn a little more than this amount a year, and there is not much left after deducting the four or five taels of silver spent.
Fortunately, when Mr. Pang was teaching, it was estimated that he would have an income of nearly 20 taels of silver a year, and he rarely had a place to spend silver, and as a showman, he could also get a little food distributed by the government, so he could save more than 200 taels of silver, after all, this is a huge amount of money even for ordinary people in the county!
The small courtyard is the same layout of the courtyard, the outside of the courtyard is surrounded by the outer wall of the room into a length and width of 30 meters, the wall of the house is about four meters high, the easternmost corner of the south wall opens a heavy door, the wall is seen from the outside of the door, five or six meters before entering the courtyard, the courtyard is nearly 20 meters long and wide.
The courtyard is about 50 meters away from other courtyards in the town, there are a lot of such independent courtyards in the town, in addition, the degree of greening around the town and in it is very high, there are more than ten meters of trees everywhere, the courtyard is surrounded by many small bamboos that are three or four meters high and the finger thickness, and the courtyard is deeply buried in this many green.
Wang Gou thought that he was going to settle here for quite some time......
