Just as Ma Xiao was curiously admiring the black lotus, several petals in the middle of the black lotus flower slowly separated, revealing Xiao Ba, who was sitting cross-legged inside, Xiao Ba slowly opened his eyes and stood up from the flower core: "What do you see, the two of us look exactly the same, what is so good-looking, why don't you hurry up and practice the exercises I taught you." ”

"Tsk, it's so beautiful, where did this black lotus come from, why didn't I see it last time" Ma Xiao asked as he circled around the black lotus.

"Hmph, lonely and unheard, this is the Heavenly King using the power of divine thought to conjure, to help me absorb the essence of heaven and earth, to assist me in practice, the first step in cultivating my divine skill is to transform my divine thought, as long as you work hard, you will also reach my current realm, but you have to be able to live until then" Xiaoba stood tall, holding his arms with both hands, and looked at Ma Xiao contemptuously, who knew that this guy actually didn't have the slightest expression of envy and worship, and he was ashamed to turn over and float onto the lotus platform, standing next to him.

After Ma Xiao turned over the lotus platform, he squatted down and gently stroked the slender texture on the petals with his hand, "Eh, you told me that the first step in the cultivation of divine thoughts is to concentrate on the mind to imagine a simple thing, and when you have been imagining this thing as the real thing, the first step of cultivation is completed, I didn't expect your mind to be so powerful, even this detail is so exquisite, it's amazing."

This Xiaoba is the most unpraised, and he laughed happily when he said this, "Carving insect skills, why worry about it, this is still the most basic, I want to be in the heyday of this Heavenly King。。。。。。 ”

"Okay! I'm also going to step up my cultivation, and I must be able to cultivate the level of divine thoughts to the level of Lao Wang as soon as possible" Ma Xiao didn't listen to Xiao Ba's bragging, jumped off the lotus platform, found a place and sat cross-legged, according to Xiao Ba's mantra to teach him, began to operate the power of divine thoughts, Xiao Ba was just about to blow a big blow but was interrupted, and snorted and sat back to the flower core and closed his eyes to practice.

。。。。。。

At the same time that Ma Xiao was concentrating on cultivation, in a luxurious house in Taizhou City, a two-story attic was brightly lit, a group of people were drinking and having fun, several scantily clad women were dancing in the crowd, and there were more than a dozen men sitting around, each of whom was accompanied by a young woman, several of these people were children of the family who clashed with Ma Xiao today, and there were some men in military uniforms, everyone pushed the cup and changed the lamp, so it was not lively, each person's table was placed with beef and venison that were rare on weekdays, and the person sitting on the chairman was Ning Sangongzi, at the moment his face was wrapped in a gauze, and he was pouring himself a drink, with an unhappy face。

A young man dressed as a civil official in the audience saw that Ning Sangongzi was sullen, clapped his hands twice, and several dancing women retreated, and the rest of the dozen or so people also put down their wine glasses, and looked at the civil official youth together, and the civil official youth stood up and said, "Since the day the thieves attacked the city, our brothers have not been so happy to eat and drink together, fortunately, today Ning Sangongzi Yaxing, we have the opportunity to get together again, happy and happy, but we all only care about our own happiness, and we have left out the master on our table, what a sin, For sins, let's all punish ourselves, Jingning Sangongzi, come!"

Everyone poured wine and stood up, about to drink this cup of fine wine, Ning Sangongzi quickly stood up and said, "You are willing to come here today, I am very pleased, I am not taking good care of me, I should have personally come to correct the atmosphere on this banquet, I don't want to sweep away your interest, I should also be punished, come, brothers, drink this cup with a certain person", after speaking, he drank all the wine in the cup, and everyone also came!

After drinking, the civil official said again, "Ning Gongzi is depressed, is it because he is worried that your father will know about today's affairs outside the city and will punish you?"

Ning Junshan returned to the table, hugged his fist at the civil official youth, and sighed, "Alas, those who know me, Counselor Xue also, but you only know one, but you don't know the other!"

The young man surnamed Xue said again: "Don't worry about this, Master Ning, I have already found out from General Zhu, and I will not report this matter to your father."

"Oh? this is true" Ning Junshan suddenly came to his senses, his father Ning Cheng Shou is notoriously harsh in governing the army, even his own sons are not soft when they make mistakes, his father's majesty is like a mountain, he always presses his heart, and he is relieved to know that General Zhu will not report this matter.

"It's true, I've been following General Zhu for many years, and I know his temper very well," the young man surnamed Xue said proudly, "Is this the second, Xue Gongzi is worried about how to get back the face he lost today, am I right or not?"

"Yes, Counselor Xue has a way?" Ning Junshan got up and came to the young man surnamed Xue and asked.

"Hmph, of course there is a way, hundreds of people have seen you and that group of leaders today, if something happens to this person in the city, there will definitely be rumors that your third son Ning is secretly retaliating, so the plan for today is to transfer him out of the city and solve it outside the city, so that he can be cleaned. The young man surnamed Xue whispered.

"That's right, but what should I find to transfer him out of the city?" Ning Junshan asked with a frown.

The young man surnamed Xue pulled Ning Junshan into the corner, and the rest of the people stayed away from it and continued to drink, and the young man whispered in Ning Junshan's ear. There will be a chance next month, the army has a secret report, there are a number of important materials from Lindu Pass to our Taizhou City, now on the road, each pass will send troops to escort, is expected to arrive in our Taizhou territory at the beginning of next month, several leaders in the army have made up their minds, this batch of materials is too important, related to the future Taizhou city defense, must be carefully arranged to escort, to ensure that nothing goes wrong, this material to connect a few passes, the road will inevitably leak the wind, in order to prevent the material from being robbed, we will discharge eight small groups of escort soldiers out of the city to respond, only one of the escort team route and the place of response is true, the team of people are elite henchmen, the other seven teams are suspicious, It's to confuse the thief, the people in the team are all inconsequential people, as long as we arrange the thief in one of them, and then deliberately leak the news to the thief's fine work, the thief will have no return, hehehehehe!"

"Okay! Okay! Clever plan, fake the hands of others to let this little thief be in the wilderness, and it can be regarded as revenge for my disfigurement" Ning Junshan showed a vicious look on his face, and with a sudden force, the wine glass in his hand clicked and shattered, "Hahahaha! Counselor Xue is really a talented military advisor, come! Let's drink, if we don't get drunk today, we won't return, hahahaha!" Ning Junshan pulled the young man surnamed Xue back to the banquet, smiled, and led everyone to continue drinking and dancing.

。。。。。。

Ma Xiaozi didn't know what was happening here, at this moment he was still sitting cross-legged by the fire in the unmanned house, his expression was serene, not sad or happy, in the sea of divine consciousness, his divine thought body was still sitting cross-legged, but a white butterfly appeared next to him, this butterfly looked blurry, only roughly saw the outline of the wings and the body, the flying posture was extremely single, and the figure was also flickering, as if it would disappear at any time.

Sitting on the ground, the body of the divine thought frowned, his face was pale, his body became a little weak, as if he was very struggling, and after half a pillar of incense, the already vague butterfly finally couldn't hold on and turned into white powder, floating around, Ma Xiao immediately pinched up a trick in his hand, and carried it out, after a while, the filaments of the sea of divine consciousness lit up one by one, which was the silk of the vitality of heaven and earth, and the filaments fluttered and fluttered, slowly winding around the body of the divine thought, and slowly integrated into the body of the divine thought, the original pale face gradually recovered its complexion, and the body of the divine thought looked a little more solid than before。

After making a closing momentum, the Divine Mind Body slowly opened his eyes, but saw Xiao Hachi standing in front of him, staring at himself with his hands behind his back, "Finish? This thing you fantasize about is called a butterfly, it is a common thing in your world, in my opinion, you are transformed like a piece of paper, too vague and monotonous, now you know the gap between us, huh?" Hachi looked at Ma Xiao playfully, as if he was laughing at him.

"Hey, it's really difficult, butterflies I have been common, I thought it was easy to fantasize about a butterfly, but after trying a few times, I could only imagine a general outline, no matter how hard I tried in other details, I couldn't conjure it up, even if I succeeded occasionally, I would lose sight of the other, and my head disappeared at the same time as I conjured up my legs, and now I feel that my divine thoughts are about to run out, fortunately, the cultivation method you taught me can call on the heaven and earth vitality in my body to replenish the power of divine thoughts" Ma Xiao put away his contempt and replied with a serious face.

"Well, it's good to understand, then you have to step up your qi training, and call out part of the heaven and earth vitality residing in the body every day to enhance the power of divine thoughts, and at the same time, I also need you to provide the absorbed heaven and earth vitality here to improve your cultivation, and when your mental power reaches a certain strength, I will pass on your illusion divine skills, today you have entered the sea of divine consciousness for too long, hurry up and go back, otherwise it will be harmful to the body." After saying that, Xiao Ba waved his sleeves, Ma Xiao withdrew from the sea of divine consciousness, returned to his body, and after opening his eyes, Ma Xiao moved his numb body and returned to the barracks to rest.

In this way, Ma Xiao continued to practice javelins and daggers in the school field during the day, and came to the house at night to practice the art of vomiting and the art of divine thought, day and night, and a month passed in a blink of an eye.

This Wu Chang Ma Xiao also knows, is a veteran transferred from the south of the city, and was also promoted to Wu Chang because of his military merits in the last siege battle, outside the room, Wu Chang pulled out a roster of Tsushima novels "Your name is Ma Xiao?"

"It's me," Ma Xiaozheng replied, not understanding what this Wu Chang was looking for.

"Hmm, fuck, is there a mistake, how can it be a doll" Wu Chang looked at the roster and scratched his head, "Is there anyone else in your room who is also called Ma Xiao?"

"No, it's just me," Ma Xiao replied dryly.

"Okay, that's you, listen, there is a military affairs to transfer you, after lunch, go to the east of the city to assemble, there must be no delay, otherwise the military law will deal with it, do you hear it"

"Heard"

After speaking, the Wu Chang took out a bamboo piece from the leather bag behind him, on which were written in ink the words "T-shaped team Ma Xiao", handed it to Ma Xiao and left. After Ma Xiao took the bamboo chip, he was very puzzled, how could he be a leader of a group, how could he have a military roll call to go by himself, it was really strange.
