Chapter 10 - vague speculation
A month passed quickly, and Tang San lived like an ordinary person in this world.
He wanders around the city every day, and the longest stay is in the tea shops, theaters, or wine shops in the city.
These places are places for a considerable number of people in the city to relax and entertain. Whether they are coolies, businessmen, or soldiers, they will gather in these places to exchange all kinds of gossip.
The crowd was noisy, and every day Tang San would carefully observe and study the language of these people, trying to understand the language of this world.
Thanks to his super brain, he always understands these words quickly, and then he uses notebooks and pencils to record translations.
He recorded the pronunciation of the world language and compared it with the words of the earth, forming a unique dictionary that belonged to him, which quickly helped him master the basic terms.
After some research, Tang San found that the language of this world is quite similar to the language of the earth, and even the grammar is similar, which made Tang San relieved, language learning is very difficult, even a genius does not have a few years of learning , it is impossible to fully master a language, but if it is the same language family, it is much faster to learn.
However, in the process of studying, Tang San had a doubt in his heart. A completely different planet could actually give birth to a similar civilization. This is almost impossible, and there must be a very deep secret in it.
This month, after Tang San mastered the basic language, he also figured out what the scrap of paper in the money bag of the robber Wang Wu was.
It was a bank note from the largest bank in Northwest China – Changxi Bank.
Tang San was also inquiring and found Changxi Qianzhuang, which is full of traffic every day, with countless people coming and going.
Tang San took apart the words on the bank note and asked various people respectively. He already knew how much money there was on the bank note. It was a thousand silver dollars, which would allow him to live peacefully in the hotel for a long time. Today he is To withdraw some silver dollars, the silver dollars in his hand are almost used up.
The daily accommodation and food expenses are quite a lot, especially because he eats too much and doesn’t like meat.
At the entrance of Changxi Qianzhuang, dozens of people gathered here, lined up in a long line, men and women, young and old, most of them were carrying parcels. It is to withdraw silver dollars.
Seeing these people voluntarily form a pair, Tang San also followed, waiting in line, and after an hour it was finally Tang San’s turn.
He came to the counter window. A middle-aged man in his 40s and 50s was sitting at the window for an internal test. He looked at Tang San and said, “Is this gentleman depositing money or withdrawing cash.”
Tang San only understood a general idea, pondered for a while, and said, “Withdraw cash, you can exchange for nine hundred-yuan silver notes and one hundred silver dollars at the same time.”
After speaking, he handed his thousand-yuan silver note to the middle-aged man inside the counter window.
The man heard Tang San’s words, looked at the thousand-yuan silver note that Tang San handed over, a look of surprise flashed on his face, thousand-yuan exchange is not a common thing in this city.
However, as a qualified staff member, he will not inquire about the privacy of customers.
Soon he went through the formalities, took a package, put nine hundred-yuan silver bills and a pack of one hundred silver dollars in front of Tang San and said, “Sir, here are your silver dollars and silver bills, you order them. “
Tang San took the package, opened it, and counted it on the counter at the window. There were a hundred silver dollars, not a lot. There were nine silver tickets in total, each one hundred yuan.
Nodding with satisfaction, Tang San turned and left Changxi Bank, heading for the hotel where he lived.
Time flies, another half a year has passed, Tang San has completely mastered the language here. At the same time, he also bought various books on enlightenment education in the bookstore. With his strong mind, he quickly mastered the words of this world, from everything The outsiders who don’t understand have become the local snakes here, and they have truly integrated into this world and learned a lot of things.
This city is called Ancheng. It is a small city on the northwest border. It is not important.
The northwestern border belongs to a country called the Eastern Republic. Through the various old newspapers and some books in the bookstore, Tang San learned the vague outline of this world.
About twenty years ago, the Eastern Republic was still ruled by a court called the Yong Dynasty. The royal family in the Dynasty was a nomadic people, very similar to the Qing Dynasty.
Twenty years ago, the Western powers used their cannons to open the gate of the Yong Dynasty, and the civilization of the world was introduced to the East with the sound of the cannons.
The decadent Yong Dynasty showed its incompetence and corruption in front of the foreign powers. The ceded land and indemnity completely chilled the hearts of the people. Uprisings and revolutions were staged all over the world. Finally, ten years ago, the era of the Great Revolution that lasted for ten years overthrew the Yong Dynasty. .
These are not what Tang San cares about, what Tang San cares about is that for some unknown reason, none of the Western powers took action in the Great Revolution to acquire and plunder more colonies. According to Tang San’s understanding of the powers of the earth, these greedy The guy would never miss such a great opportunity, but the result made Tang San very strange.
What made Tang San even more strange was that after the Great Revolution, the Eastern Republic was successfully established, and the rebel armies from all over the country occupied land in the name of the republic and became kings. The era of separatist warlords, but the strange thing is that they did not really fight, but maintained a balance in a strange atmosphere. There were quite a few small-scale conflicts, but in general it was peaceful.
How shrewd Tang San is, he instantly sees that there is a shady secret behind this, but these have nothing to do with him, what he cares about is what to do in the future.
After learning enough characters and languages, Tang San began to study the scriptures he got from the robber Wang Wu.
The text on the cover already made Tang San know the name of the book – “Five Poisonous Hands”, and he knew it was an evil kung fu.
But it greatly aroused Tang San’s curiosity. As a person who came back from the dead, he would be interested in all things supernatural or that could improve his own essence. After the endless relics and the resurrection from the dead, Tang San It is almost certain that there are terrifying existences such as immortals and gods in this world, but he has not encountered them yet, but he has no doubts about their existence, and he instinctively wants to find their traces.
Opening the “Five Poison Hands” scripture, looking at the words on it, savouring it carefully, reading it carefully, slowly Tang San came to a certain understanding of the existence of this poison art.
This is indeed an evil martial arts. Its cultivation requires collecting the five poisons, soaking the hands with the venom of the five poisons every day, and taking medicinal wine to suppress the toxins, so that the toxins eventually penetrate into the nails. The power is enormous.
This martial arts requires a lot of time. It takes three years to achieve a small success, and five years to complete it. After the completion, the nails are as black as ink, extremely sharp, comparable to the blade of a knife, and combined with the five types of poisonous hands, the power is amazing.
Exactly: Da Yin is carefully observed in the city, and the five poisons and evils are explained through the text.
