Luoyang City has been in good weather in the past few years, and the four gangs are like four Dinghai Shen Needles, stabilizing this small sea area, no matter how small fish and shrimp fight, they can't set off any big storms. The Quicksand Gang is like a huge shark that has grown out of many fights, watching from the sidelines. The more this is the case, the more prosperous Luoyang becomes, and the undercurrent is surging under it, and no one can see it clearly.

The Tianya Gang ranked second, but it didn't become a joke, but it became a beautiful talk. Is this really the case? Ma Qiuci didn't think so, as a new elder of the Tianya Gang, he was in such a high position just a few years ago. A lot of the credit is due to his ruthless and ruthless behavior. In addition, he is extremely good at winning over the hearts of his peers, and his subordinates have gathered a large number of characters with the same temperament as him. It can be explained in two words, that is, don't die, don't blink. If you don't take your life seriously, you naturally don't want to die. Not blinking is not taking other people's lives seriously, and killing people without blinking.

The huge Tianya Gang, he can be said to be despised by anyone. Not to mention the old gang leader, but an old man who thinks about retirement, and the great elder Sun Tengyi is a corpse vegetarian and does nothing. If he doesn't take advantage of the situation, isn't he sorry for himself, and even more sorry for those brothers under him?

He is staying in the Tianya Gang's martial arts hall at the moment, and he has all eighteen weapons. On this day every month, he would pull two or three martial artists to practice together. The body on the field flashed, and the weapons collided. Ma Qiuci's long knife was played in a good way, and the two young martial artists were forced to defend to the death.

There was also a martial artist who was watching from the sidelines with his waist crossed. Nodding his head from time to time, his eyes showing a little appreciation. Elder Ma's martial arts have improved a lot, but it's a pity that his martial arts foundation is a little too poor. Martial arts is not as good as studying, if you really want to study in this way, the sooner the better, and practice the muscles and bones as soon as possible. Those two young martial artists are his disciples, don't look at them can still hold on to it now, but after a while, I'm afraid they will only be beaten in vain, and there is no way to accompany Elder Ma to practice.

Ma Qiuci shook the long stick of one of the martial artists with a knife, and then slashed at the long stick of the other martial artist, and then kicked out, and the martial artist withdrew a long distance, and then Ma Qiuci put away the long knife and stopped the competition in a dashing manner.

The two young martial artists smiled and packed their weapons, and one of them stepped forward more lively, complimenting: "Brother Ma, if this is the case, we won't be able to practice with you next time, I'm afraid our master will have to go out." ”

Ma Qiuci smiled slightly and said, "Xiao Dongzi is too modest. ”

Then he looked at Master Zhao on the side and said, "Master Zhao, why don't you accompany me to practice next time?"

"Elder Ma, I'm almost done practicing tonight. If you practice martial arts, you can't do it quickly, you need to take your time. The martial artist surnamed Zhao smiled and motioned for the two apprentices to pack their bags.

"Okay, next time, you'll have to guide me yourself. Ma Qiuci replied with a smile, with his status, it was very polite to speak like this.

Ma Qiuci planned to leave the three of them to eat together, and there was a lot of talk about martial arts at the dinner table, but the martial artist surnamed Zhao insisted on pulling the two disciples away. After leaving the Yanwu Hall, they left the Tianya Gang through the back door, without the slightest intention of turning back.

Zhao Wushi's grade is only six out of forty, which is not considered to be in full bloom. Perhaps because of the practice of martial arts, coupled with proper maintenance, there is not a single gray hair on his head.

"Master, Brother Ma is really interested in practicing martial arts. One of the apprentices named Xiao Dongzi sighed. "Ten days a month, like him, and so diligent, it's really rare. ”

"That's right, it's just a little colder, obviously sometimes laughing, which is more frightening than not laughing. Another more indifferent, apprentice named Xiao Xizi answered.

Xiao Xizi asked curiously, "Then master, will you really take action yourself next time?"

Xiao Dongzi answered: "Nonsense, Master will definitely make a move." However, it will also be spared. ”

Martial Master Zhao didn't answer, just smiled faintly, and didn't let the two disciples know what he thought. Looking at these two apprentices who were almost brought up by themselves and were not deeply involved in the world, he couldn't say that many things were far from being as simple as the two of them imagined. Zhao Wushi is not easy to explain. Elder Ma paid them three times the normal price, but only half the time they spent sparring, which was suspicious. In addition, Zhao Wushi learned from some people in the Tianya Gang about Elder Ma's style of acting. Seeing that they were quite jealous of Ma Qiuci in their eyes, Martial Master Zhao himself was an old Jianghu, how could he not understand what was going on. During this time, he naturally kept figuring out Ma Qiuci's intentions. Although he was accustomed to thinking about the good in everything, when he thought of it, there was no pie falling from the sky, and his heart was like a big stone pressing down.

"Xiao Dongzi, Xiao Xizi, are you two hungry, why don't we go eat a bowl of wontons from Kit Kat Ju?" said Martial Master Zhao with a smile and the two apprentices.

The two apprentices cheered when they heard this, the wontons in Kit Kat were not cheap, and the taste was even better. The last time I ate it was during the Lantern Festival, the two of them almost didn't swallow their tongues.

"But you have to promise me one thing. ”

The two apprentices nodded their heads one after another, and said in unison, "Master, just say it." ”

"In the future, don't go to practice martial arts with your big brother Ma privately. Zhao Wushi said.

Xiao Dongzi wondered, "Why, Master." Brother Ma not only gave more silver than others······" However, after seeing Martial Master Zhao's serious, almost angry expression, he didn't go on.

Xiao Xizi was more sensible, he nodded directly, "We know, Master." "He has always been obedient to Master's words and will not question them.

Seeing this, Xiao Dongzi could only nod obediently, after all, this Kit Kat Ju's wontons can't be eaten twice in half a year.

Martial Master Zhao nodded with satisfaction and a smile on his face.

-----

On the other side, Ma Qiuci did not sit on the chair in the middle of the martial arts hall, but chose to sit at the end. He also sat at the bottom of all the elders' meetings. He is accustomed to drinking something after practicing martial arts, these hairs are bitter and bitter, and immersing them in the bottom of the cup is a kind of enjoyment for him, and it is also a kind of alertness.

He wiped the sweat from his forehead with a towel, then drank from the teacup in his hand. Unfortunately, the taste of the hairy tips was still not bitter enough, and he bared his teeth and closed his eyes in contemplation. He quickly ascended from a small person, and then climbed up from an elder, it is not enough to be ruthless, but also to scheming and force. And a certain amount of force ensures that when he has something special, he does not have to rely on others. Why don't you practice with that martial artist surnamed Zhao next time?" he smiled. It was close to those three people before, but it was just superficial. What he really wanted to learn was the deadly moves that Martial Master Zhao relied on.

Suddenly a strange feeling came over him, an ineffable, peeping feeling.

Sure enough, he opened his eyes and saw a man in black sitting in an adjacent seat on the same side as him. The two faced each other, but there was only a pair of eyes from Ma Qiuci, and the man was hidden under a mask.

"Ma Qiuci, the new elder of the Tianya Gang. He is fierce and vicious, and his majesty is well-organized. ”

Ma Qiuci smiled at the corner of his mouth, this kind of evaluation was something he could often hear, and even the storytellers in the tavern teahouse would say it recently, which was not new at all.

"Are you interested, join us?" the man asked.

"Are there many people like you who don't ask questions and don't know whether to be a thief or a murderer?" Ma Qiuci said, placing the teacup in his hand on the table.

"No, we're not human. We come from the Infernal Hell. The man's words were cold.

"It's not a human, isn't it still a ghost?" Ma Qiuci laughed even louder.

"We come from the Infernal Hell, and we are a bunch of lonely ghosts. The man was right. He spoke very slowly, as if he didn't usually speak often, and then he made a sound, and the throat seemed to be filled with two stones, and the sound came from rubbing.

Ma Qiuci asked, "Then what should I do?"

The man replied, "Like us, become ghosts." ”

Ma Qiuci's smile gradually subsided. If a person becomes a lonely soul and a ghost, then he can abandon many things, including morality, including propriety. And there are many ghosts that can't be named, so there are many things that people can't do, they can do it, and they can do it better, even better.

"What's the benefit of becoming a ghost?" Ma Qiuci asked.

"Get everything you want. ”

"For example······

"For example, power, for example, the position of the leader. The man looked to the side, nonchalant.

Ma Qiuci looked at the man and said with a smile: "Then I want to get all this, what do I need to pay?" He knew that there was no good thing in the sky that would drop pies, and everything could only be gained.

"A person can become a ghost without a soul. ”

"Then you would not have died long ago. Then shouldn't I kill myself with a knife?" Ma Qiu said.

"Believe it or not, in fact, there is a ghost living in everyone's heart. The man's words were a little confusing.

"I don't just think about power, I also think about beauty, maybe it's also a ghost. Although your Excellency is very good, if you have something to say, please speak directly. Ma Qiu said politely. He was not interested in this kind of mysterious way of speaking, and he was not interested.

The man sighed, but was not noticed by Ma Qiuci.

"Join us and we'll help you unify the Tianya Gang. ”

Ma Qiuci was completely amused by this person, he was so self-conscious, I am afraid that he is not a fool with strong martial arts. The Tianya Gang leader has been passed down for four generations, of which the supporters and elders have reached six or seven out of ten. The next gang leader will be completely succeeded by the gang leader's son, but no one knows where this heir is now. There are many factions within the Tianya gang, and it is impossible to design it with one sentence, let alone complete the unification with a few actions.

"Prove to me that businessmen are particular about how much money they have, and they can do as much business as they want. ”

"Since you have chosen me, you should know my temper and my worth. ”

"Otherwise, everything is avoided, I will continue to walk my sunny avenue, and you will take your single-plank bridge. ”

Ma Qiuci picked up a cup of tea and drank it all, and then the tea leaves were chewed in his mouth. Then he got up, unbuckled his belt, and was about to go into the wing.

"We'll come back to you next time, and hopefully you'll change your attitude. ”

"Tonight, the Quicksand Gang will die. ”

"Our organization is called Order. ”

Ma Qiuci smiled again, feeling ridiculous about the statement that the quicksand gang would die tonight. Could it be that a group of wild ghosts can casually organize and play around, and they can easily break the order of Luoyang? He put the belt inlaid with white jade on his shoulder, and for some reason, he looked back and found that the man had disappeared into the chair, and there was no one in the hall except him. He squinted his eyes and strode out of here, and tonight's eighteen martial arts finally came to an end. Women's gentleness has always been another battlefield for men, and this one, Ma Qiuci can win 100%. The concubine of Xinna has a cold temperament, which is just in line with Ma Qiuci's taste.
