Eight Wildernesses Escape

A fleeing technique that has become customary among the Beggar Sect. Used by a crowd, it is a spectacular sight: they scatter with a shout, each bolting down a different road in every direction, as if their minds were linked, pointing east and running west, so that the enemy can never catch them all in one net. In the end there is always some fish that slips through and gets home to spread the word.

The method is passed down in the form of a song, which goes: "Eyes on the east, feet to the west, nowhere to run but up the tree's crest, three and five in a band, iron takes your life, death and life are fated, so don't drag your feet." The words are coarse and plain, yet they hold not only trickery but also a bit of mental preparation for the chance of being caught.
