Zongwu: My Proficiency Panel

Chapter 9

"Brother Ning, it's time to go."

The first rooster crowed, and the sky was barely bright, when a loud sound came from outside Ning Xiu's house.

"Okay, I'll be right out."

Ning Xiu in the house simply washed up, and went out with a bag in his hand.

Today is the day to go to the market. People in the villages of Ping'an Town will go to the town to buy some daily necessities and sell some mountain products to supplement their household expenses.

Outside the house, Zhang Orion and the others tied bundles on their backs, their furs had already been kneaded, and when Ningxiu came out, they set off together.

They were very familiar with the road, they said little and few words along the way, Ning Xiu did not walk this road, just looked around and took notes silently.

I don't know how long they walked, and after a few rounds of soybean-sized sweat rolled on the foreheads of many fur-carrying hunters, Zhang Orion said, "Brother Ning, we are about to arrive at Ping'an Town."

Ning Xiu looked forward, and the outline of a city gradually became clear.

The stone wall is more than ten feet high, and the three characters "Ping An Town" are engraved on the city gate.

There are two arched passages below, the one on the left is a door for ordinary people like them to enter and exit, and the other door is a commercial road, which is specially used for caravans to enter and exit the town, and is also convenient for collecting commercial taxes.

There are two armored gunmen standing guard at each gate. They are not tall, but with stern faces and sharp spears, they are enough to maintain order at the city gate.

The gate on the right is about three meters wide, people come and go, and there is no chaos under the maintenance of officers and soldiers.

Ning Xiu and his party entered the city smoothly. Zhang Orion and others wanted to sell the fur first, and then buy some rice vinegar, oil and salt. Ning Xiu planned to stay in the city for a while and had his own plans, so he decided to leave here.

At this time, it was just dawn, and a wisp of purple air appeared from the horizon, and soon dissipated.

The street that Ning Xiu was walking on was a commercial street. Along the way, vendors and small shops were crowded together, with the sound of hawking, chattering, clashing of bowls and chopsticks...it was really lively when it was stewed into a pot of porridge.

"Wonton, wonton, hot wonton with thin skin and big stuffing~"

"Candied haws, candied haws, sweet and sour candied haws, hey, brother Li brought his children to the market to play, come, come, children, buy a candied haws..."

"Ah, Aunt Wang, you are here too, have you eaten yet?

"Selling hairpins, iron hairpins, copper hairpins, wooden hairpins, good quality hairpins at a good price."

……

Ning Xiu first went to the nearest inn to book a room, and then went to a famous tailor shop to change his outfit. Before entering the shop, the clerk at the door had already come to receive Ning Xiu graciously.

"This guest, please come inside."

Ning Xiu nodded, and then walked into the tailor shop.

An old tailor was standing and making calculations. Seeing Ning Xiu come in, he took a look at Ning Xiu's clothes and continued to make calculations.

After casually looking at the goods in the store, Ning Xiu's eyes shifted to the finished products.

Those fabrics still need a lot of time to make ready-made clothes. Ning Xiu needs to get to know this place as soon as possible. He doesn't want to waste time choosing fabrics here, just buy some decent and fitting clothes.

So he asked, "Is there any ready-made clothes? I want to buy a few sets."

Hearing this, the old tailor who was still thinking about it suddenly became interested, put down the thinking in his hand, and asked: "The guest looks like a stranger, shouldn't he be local?"

"Yes."

The old tailor squinted and smiled, and walked closer: "My shop was passed down to me by my grandparents. It should be very famous in this Ping'an town. Er Zhu, let's make a pot of tea."

Customers come with me, here are ready-to-wear, pick whatever you want. "

The old tailor walked in front, lifted a piece of cloth, and led Ning Xiu inside.

As soon as I entered, I saw all kinds of finished clothes. The more exquisite and gorgeous ones were hung for display, while the ordinary coarse clothes were placed in piles.

"Okay, I'll take a look first."

Ning Xiu calmly walked to those exquisitely styled and expensive clothes, and looked carefully.

A message flashed in front of my eyes:
[Gorgeous Brocade Clothes]: The ingenuity of an experienced tailor, with brocade as the material, silk as the belt, decorated with turquoise, and it took February to make.

This is green quality clothing, with only a little defense bonus, unlike the "Liuxian Long Dress", which not only blesses more defense, but also has a special effect of "Fairy Qi Fluttering", but it is also useless, the effect is to increase temperament .

But if he is a big man wearing a skirt, it is too beautiful to imagine.

Ning Xiu looked at the other robe, and this information also surfaced, but that robe was inferior to this brocade robe in terms of attribute bonuses and appearance.

Touching the brocade garment, Ning Xiu asked, "What is the price of this brocade garment?"

"Guests may wish to try it on first."

Seeing that Ning Xiu really wanted to buy this dress, the old tailor asked Ning Xiu to try it on first, and it turned out to be a little looser.

Considering that I am only seven feet long (calculated at 23cm per foot), and I still have to grow my body, I can wear this dress for a longer time if it is looser.

"Not bad, I bought it, and this one, this one..."

Ning Xiu pointed to some clothes and said.

These clothes are all made of wheat, with the top as clothes and the bottom as clothes, or clothes is a general term, which means the sum of headscarves, tops, and bottoms.

If the jacket fits well, the bottom jacket will generally not go wrong.

At this time, the old tailor had a big smile on his face, and calculated the price of these clothes in his head. When Ning Xiu finished speaking, he said the price: "Thanks to the kindness of the distinguished guest, the total of seven clothes is 17 yuan. shop, so how about charging you 17 taels of silver?"

this price.

"Here comes the tea! Guests use tea."

The buddy brought the tea, Ning Xiu took a sip, the taste was slightly bitter, but the aftertaste was obvious.

Ning Xiu didn't know much about the prices of these fabrics, but a meal of wontons was only 17 renminbi, and [-] renminbi could be exchanged for [-] tael of silver. These seven pieces of clothes cost him [-] taels of silver.

Seeing the change in Ning Xiu's expression, the old tailor immediately said: "My esteemed guest, my clothes are all made of good materials like brocade and silk.

This thing is much more elegant than those coarse and rotten yarns. You think it's too expensive and I don't think it's too expensive. "

"That's true."

"it is good."

Ning Xiu had plenty of silver on him, and he didn't feel bad about spending 17 taels, so he took out a piece of silver and threw it to the old tailor, "I wrapped the clothes for me, and I will take them away."

"Hey, that's great."

Seeing such a large piece of silver, the old tailor was holding it tightly in his hand, so he hurriedly called his assistant to take the ivory stick and small scissors, and after a lot of work, he weighed out 17 taels of silver.

"Guest, this is your silver, take it away—I don't know where the guest lives, so I can ask the shop assistant to deliver it."

"I live in Room No. [-] of the inn opposite, you can send someone to deliver it." After finishing speaking, the old tailor ordered the man:

"Er Zhu, wrap up the clothes of the distinguished guest and send them to Room [-] of the Ping An Inn across the street."

"Okay, it must be delivered."

Seeing the shop assistant deliver his clothes to the inn, Ning Xiu drank hot tea with the old tailor and chatted again.

Because the old tailor was very happy with the business of more than ten taels of silver, and chatted more, he was happy to answer some questions about the region and history for Ning Xiu, so that Ning Xiu knew a lot.

After chatting for a while, Ning Xiu almost finished asking all the questions he wanted to ask before being sent away enthusiastically by the old tailor.

……

Next, Ning Xiu wandered around the city. Ping'an Town is very small, so he took a little time to walk around the main streets, leaving a lasting impression.

However, to Ning Xiu's disappointment, there was no Pan Jinlian or Ximen Qing in the tofu shop, only white soft tofu.

There is a private school, but there is no Gu Yanwu, only a teacher he doesn't know, and a dozen or so children studying.

It seems that there are more variables.

Taking advantage of the time being still early, but noon, Ning Xiu went to visit other places.

For example, Yanwu Martial Arts Hall, the only martial arts hall in Ping'an Town.

"Ha! Drink! Hey..."

From far away, Ning Xiu heard someone practicing martial arts in the martial arts hall, making a haha ​​sound.

Combined with the previous events, Ning Xiu didn't think there would be Qi Jiguang in it either.

Ning Xiu stood outside the door. The door of the martial arts hall was open. Inside were a dozen or so shirtless men. Drenched in sweat, there was also a middle-aged man with a thick beard who was teaching an apprentice how to box.

In the martial arts hall, several apprentices practice martial arts in groups of two. After listening to the middle-aged man's words, they continued to fight that set of boxing techniques.

Either throwing punches, or kicking legs... none of the elbows, shoulders, waist, hips, legs and other parts fall, all of which are used in this boxing method.

Based on Ning Xiu's current boxing attainments, it can be seen that the level of boxing skills of these apprentices is not bad, but I don't know how deep this boxer is, and whether he can learn any real skills.

It is worth mentioning that, every time Ning Xiu practiced a martial art to perfection, he could not only gain physical enhancement, but also get a vitality point.

This vitality point can be used to open up acupoints and skyrocket the attributes. If there is no change, Ning Xiu still hopes to rely on the proficiency panel to practice a few more exercises to complete and gain more vitality points while increasing his strength.

As long as there is enough martial arts in the boxing gym to record it on the panel, he will learn it.

After all, relying on Ning Xiu's own talent and sweat, as long as this martial art is not advanced, he can quickly level up.

Just like "Arhat Boxing", today is the fifth day of Ning Xiu's boxing learning, and he has practiced to the fourth level and is getting better.

The two martial arts disciples standing at the door saw Ning Xiu stop, and said loudly: "My friend, if you want to learn boxing, you can come in. My master Wang Bencong, Xingyi boxing is superb. If you can learn it, you can deal with three or five big guys." Not a problem."

Hearing this, Ning Xiu laughed, nodded, and then stepped over the threshold, ready to see what level of kung fu the boxers in this small town are.

"Master, someone is here to learn martial arts!"

Hearing this, Wang Bencong gave a few more instructions to the apprentice who was pointed out, then turned around and walked towards Ningxiu.

The disciple who was talking to Ning Xiu over there whispered a few words into Wang Bencong's ear, and after listening to the disciple's words, he walked up to Ning Xiu, looked at him and said, "Dare to ask this friend, is he here to learn boxing? "

Wang Bencong saw that Ningxiu walked steadily and regularly, with a dignified face, but a very good complexion, unlike those rich children who were hollowed out by wine, he speculated that Ningxiu also had kung fu, so he asked this question.

"Study is definitely something to learn, but I have also learned some kung fu since I was a child. I want to ask Master Wang some moves first. I wonder if Master Wang is willing to teach me?"

As soon as these words came out, Wang Bencong frowned, then relaxed, and took a deep look at Ning Xiu.

Although Ning Xiu's words were polite, they did not hide the hint of provocation.

This Wang Bencong's strength should not be bad, but he has never fought with a warrior, so he can test it out first, and apologize later if it is a big deal.

Now that they are all open to sell kung fu, as long as he doesn't lose too much face in the fight, there is no problem that money can't solve.

"Okay, if you don't have real kung fu, how can Wang dare to open a martial arts gym to recruit more disciples. Since this friend wants to compete, I naturally have no reason to refuse, please come with me."

"Okay, please."

The two walked one behind the other, and after a short walk, they came to a martial arts stage.
