After calming down the morale of the army, the first task of the Xiuzi battalion was to confirm the roster. At the time of recruitment in Kixin Province, the total strength of the Xiuzi battalion was more than 8,400 people. After all the battles to wipe out the remnants of the rebels, the Tussauds sneak attack, and the defense of the Pai, the loss of the Xiuzi battalion was actually less than 200 people—compared to the terrible casualty rate of less than 50,000 of the 150,000 troops of the Zhōngyāng army, the casualty ratio of the Xiuzi battalion was the lowest among the Zhulu family armies in the Far East, which can almost be called a miracle.

People said, "Even the cooks are not so safe." ”

In fact, after careful investigation, the reason is not very strange: since the establishment of the Xiuzi Battalion, there has never been a real hard battle at all. The remnants of the rebel army were cleared by lure and surrender; the battle with Yun Qianxue's troops relied on surprise and arson and sneak attacks; as for the defense of Pai, every time the demon clan came up, the ruffians of the Xiuzi battalion hurriedly hid behind the defense line of the zhōngyāng army, shouting vigorously: "Come on! Come on!"

It was also for this reason that Zichuan Xiu saw that the biggest weakness of the Xiuzi battalion was the weakness of individual combat ability. Such a rabble, it's okay to scare thieves, if you really encounter the Demon Clan's Jīng Rui team, I'm afraid that in less than five minutes, 8,000 people will be wiped out in ashes at once.

To do this, he came up with a solution.

He ran to the barracks and announced: "Wait a minute, let's have fun, hold a martial arts competition, anyone can participate, everyone come and sign up!"

The soldiers yawned lazily, and no one paid any attention to him. On a hot day, if you have this spare time, it is better to take a nap.

"The champion will be rewarded with a hundred silver coins, plus a pair of Shirakawa's underwear!" he lowered his voice: "Just replaced!"

Deep in the mountains and old forests, the soldiers were already holding back their panic, and when they heard this, nosebleeds flowed out. Suddenly, hundreds of soldiers rushed up excitedly, and everyone shouted in unison: "I'll participate!"

"Sign me up!"

Zichuan Xiu leisurely carried the table over to register his name, and he couldn't be busy alone, so he called Roger and Ming Yu over to help - after these two guys understood what was going on, they immediately raised their hands: "I want to participate too!"

Such a lively uproar attracted people from several nearby military camps, and as soon as they saw such a lively scene, a large number of people crowded there and did not know what to do, and they rushed into the crowd without asking any questions: "Register me! No matter what he does, it must be a good thing that so many people are participating anyway!"

The news spread more and more, and the soldiers of the entire Xiuzi battalion knew about it, and unconsciously, the news became in the process of transmission: "The champion of the martial arts competition will be rewarded with a thousand gold coins, and you can also spend a good night with the white flag!"

(Afterwards, Shirakawa chased Shirakawa Xiu and cut forty kilometers.) Almost all of the Xiuzi camps have signed up.

It was an unprecedented day, crowded with people. Because there were too many participants, Zichuan Xiu had to divide dozens of arenas into group stages and tryouts, and the heroes of the Xiuzi camp showed their fists and feet, and fought hard, only to see a fist and foot shadow, sword light and sword shadow, and the end was jīng color, and the audience outside the stadium resounded like thunderous cheers.

Referee Zichuan Xiu was so sleepy that he dozed off and ordered: "After the fight, the living one will wake me up." ”

The most promising seed, Ming Yu Qiben, made it through the five hurdles with difficulty, but he was so tired that he fell to the ground in the sixth round because he was not fit enough, and his last words were a loud shout: "Who arranged the schedule? Why are all my opponents the kind of big men who are more than 18 tall?"

Under the tree, Judge Zichuan Xiu was snoring profusely, sleeping soundly, and suddenly sneezed.

Roger Qiben's luck was not much better than his. The first opponent he met was good at using the powerful adamantium finger and broke his two ribs, the second was said to be a master of the eagle claw gate, and scratched a hole in his buttocks, the third made the invincible mandarin duck leg and kicked off one of his leg bones, and the fourth knew at a glance that it was a master of iron sand palms, and the cocoon on his hand was half an inch thick, and after only touching it lightly, Roger vomited blood on the spot.

Roger understood, and angrily ran down to question Zichuan Xiu.

Zi Chuanxiu comforted him and said: "Your next opponent is a woman, and her skills are very soft, so don't be afraid." ”

When Roger excitedly returned to the ring, Zichuan Xiucai said lazily, "She practiced flirting yīn legs." ”

"Why didn't you say it earlier!......" After a long scream, Roger was also carried down.

The fierce game continued into the night. In the end, a small, bloodied and scarred soldier defeated his opponent in the final and miraculously won. As promised, Shikawa Xiu handed out silver coins and prizes to him as dying, promoted him to squadron leader by the way, and announced to everyone: "There will be such competitions often in the future!

This martial arts competition has left countless troubles for the stability of the Xiuzi camp. Most of the soldiers in the Xiuzi battalion turned out to be those unruly ruffians and hooligans, and their most important thing was "face".

And now it is a lifelong shame to be beaten in front of everyone, and they are trying every means to get this field back -- they don't talk about any morality, sneak attacks, hidden weapons, sieges, sweat pills in meals, traps...... What despicable and obscene tricks were all used. For several nights in a row, screams were heard from the camps, and the veterans sighed, "Another good man has returned to heaven." ”

Because the competition was selected layer by layer, Zhang San lost to Li Si, Li Si defeated Wang Wu, and finally Wang Wu gave Chen Liu a kick in the ring. Almost everyone has won one or two opponents, and everyone has been defeated by someone else. -- To sort out these intricate grievances and grievances, we need the accountant of a division or regiment. Everyone wants to take revenge on others, but they forget that they are also the object of revenge by others. The loser strives for revenge, and the winner does not dare to relax, step by step, always on guard, for fear of when people will be hacked. For a time, everyone in the entire camp was in danger. In order to protect themselves, the practice of martial arts training in the army is flourishing.

At this time, a large number of treasure maps were inexplicably scattered all over the army: on the camp field, in the kitchen gaps, under sleeping pillows, under the dining table, in the armory, and even in the pile of straw paper used to go to the toilet - no one knew where these pictures came from - these treasure maps often contained only a few words: "Peerless martial arts are hidden under a large stone in a cave on the mountain!" (with a brief map at the back)

"The peerless martial arts are hidden at the top of the fifth pine tree in the forest of so-and-so!"

"The peerless martial arts are buried twenty meters below the gate on the main road in the village!"

At first, no one took the treasure maps seriously, and everyone thought it was just a prank. It wasn't until there was a bored soldier who had no loss anyway, and gave it a try, and according to the guidance of the map, he climbed the back mountain to find the cave, and really found a copy of the "Flying Dragon Spear Book" inside, which recorded a great martial arts, and in less than three days of practice, he won the game against his opponent - a certain tall man with a height of more than 200 meters (don't doubt it, it is a meter ^_^ in the original book), a famous warrior of the Quanxiu Battalion - and bleed all over the ground to find his teeth, and walked away triumphantly.

The news spread, and the whole camp boiled. The treasure map, which was used as toilet paper the day before yesterday, has now become priceless. Follow the guidance of the treasure map, on the top of the mountains, at the bottom of the abyss, in the depths of the dense forests, in the cellars of the orcs hiding cabbage pickled in the sauerkraut, under the trough of the pigsty, and on the backs of the thousand-year-old tortoises in the waterholes...... Everyone dug into the ground and found a lot of things: "Jiu Yīn Zhenjing Elementary Textbook", "Jiuyang Shengong Popular Edition", "Primary School Compulsory Teaching Second Grade Series: Seven Refining Methods of Nine Yīn White Bone Claws", "Introduction to the Eighteen Palms of the Dragon Descending Lecture", "Fitness Guide for Middle School Students: Praying Mantis Boxing", "Rulai Shenzhang Ninety-eight Edition", "Premarital Health Knowledge Education Reader: Jade Goddess Gong Yīn Yang Shuangxiu", ...... These treasure maps and martial arts secrets emerge in an endless stream, and they are inexhaustible, not only to meet the needs of each person with one volume, but some people even have several volumes, and practice several martial arts at the same time.

Everyone was simply overjoyed, thinking of the scene of their own eyebrows raised in the second martial arts competition, one by one they were crazy and practiced all kinds of secrets all night and night, and made new progress, a thousand miles. The entire Xiuzi camp has simply become a collection and demonstration of all kinds of strange stunts throughout the ages: The peasant soldiers who were sent to open up the wasteland and farm the fields did not use oxen or plows, and they stood on the stakes and shouted: "Eighteen palms of the dragon!" and "Bang!" With a loud bang, I saw dust flying, flying sand and rocks, and half an acre of land was opened up at once; the communication soldiers sent to deliver the news displayed the light skills of "Ling Bo Weibu" and "chasing cicadas in eight steps", and flew through the roofs and treetops without a trace of flying walls and stepping on snow, causing the orcs in several nearby villages to shout: " Wife, come out and see God!"

When the chef stir-frying, the shovel is like flying, and the technique implies the jīng essence of the nine swords of Dugu, which is mysterious and magical, and none of the fried vegetables can be eaten, either burnt or raw; one night, a few obscene billets went to spy on Lord Shirakawa out of the bath, and all of them were caught. Bai Chuan angrily carried them over to Zichuan Xiu, and said, "Lord Xiuchuan, give them that "Sunflower Treasure Book" to practice......!"

The more we practice martial arts, the more we practice, the more addictive we become, but there are fewer incidents of revenge and trouble, because everyone knows that everyone has martial arts now, and if you go to make trouble before you get home, maybe the opponent is stronger than your own martial arts, and you will be humiliated in the past.

One dark night, in the bullpen of Bulu village, two sneaky figures were burying something.

"My lord, why do you have to do so much trouble? You just sent out a copy of the martial arts secret book to each of them, why bother so much, you have to come out every night and bury things like thieves?"

"Write down the location, and go back to draw the treasure map later-Shirakawa, if I send it to them directly, then it will be too easy for them to come, they will not cherish it, and they will definitely not cultivate as hard as they do now." We must let them exert a little effort, so that they will know how to cherish it! -- I am quite good here, you don't read those martial arts novels, in order to compete for a piece of martial arts secrets, 40,000 or 50,000 people have died, and it turns out that they are fake!"

"My lord, what are you talking about? I don't understand much......

"It's okay, I'm confusing time and space again - let's go, go to the next treasure spot. Well, everything else has been hidden, so why don't you hide this copy of "Bitian Shengong" in the thatched house in the village?"
