67 A hundred taels of silver
Su Chen and Ah Chou followed the crowd of people on the street to the south of the city and squeezed into the middle of the crowd that could not be seen in the dark. With their top-notch skills, it's easy to squeeze in.
The two were soon surprised to find that on a small square in the south of the city, a large arena for martial arts competitions had been set up at some point.
This large ring is divided into four towering and independent ten-zhang small rings.
There are several young first-class masters, competing fiercely and fighting each other.
One after another, the fierce fists, the leg whip of the volley splitting the wind swept across, the sword light and sword shadow, and the sound of golden sound burst out.
In the surrounding squares and streets, as well as restaurants, inns, and attics along the street, there are many Jianghu disciples and ordinary people.
"Hey, when did there be an extra ring here? When I passed by here in the early morning, I went to the City God Temple to practice martial arts, but I didn't see this ring. Didn't this ring just be set up in the morning?"
Ugly was surprised.
Having said that, he is also relatively slow about the dynamics on the rivers and lakes. He is a martial idiot, he is either working from morning to night every day, or he is cultivating, and occasionally listening to the discussion of his fellow disciples in the Tianying Sect, he will know some major events in the rivers and lakes. But that's about it.
"Okay, good fight!"
"Brother Yang, use your trick 'Qiankun Palm' to let the big guy see how powerful!"
Many Jianghu disciples gathered here, shouting the names of the people in the ring, and it was very lively.
Su Chen listened to the discussion of others and quickly understood.
Because of the Gusu Government and the Hanshan Taoist Temple, the first Jianghu Conference of Wu County jointly held was set for the evening of Laba tomorrow. Thousands of high-rollers from all over the world will gather in Gusu County one day in advance, so as not to miss this Jianghu conference.
The Gusu government was worried that these people in the rivers and lakes would gather in the city to get drunk and make trouble, and in order to compete for the fame of the rivers and lakes, they would fight and harm the innocent people.
Therefore, the Gusu County Ya simply set up a large ring in the city today, so that those energetic young generation of hot-blooded masters have a place where they can openly make a name for themselves, show off their might, and vent their excess energy.
And the rest of the many Jianghu disciples will naturally gather near this lively ring in the south of the city to watch the first-class masters fight, pass the time of the day, and save them from harassing the people.
At this moment, standing in the high ring is an old man in a white robe, a well-known senior in Gusu City, who was invited by the Gusu County Government to preside over this fight.
The elder of the rivers and lakes arched his hand to the crowd around him, and said in a loud voice: "Heroes and heroes on the rivers and lakes, big high-rollers, tomorrow will be a rare meeting of the rivers and lakes in our Wu County in a hundred years!"
Most of the disciples of the four major gangs and many small gangs in Wu County are gathered in Gusu County today, and there are many outstanding ones. This is a great opportunity to make a name for yourself in the rivers and lakes! Welcome first-class masters from all walks of life to come up and fight and learn, so that the heroes of Wu County can open their eyes. ”
At this moment, there are many rivers and lakes gathered in Gusu County, and the masters are like clouds.
Naturally, no one wants to watch the low-level competition of second- and third-rate three-legged cat kung fu, but only wants to watch the highest level of competition. Those low-level martial artists were not allowed to go to the ring, so as not to waste everyone's time.
This ring is naturally prepared for a few of the best.
Only first-class masters, whose internal cultivation is the deepest, and their martial arts are also as pure as fire, are qualified to show their faces in this ring in front of thousands of people in the rivers and lakes.
The seniors were spitting and encouraging the first-class masters in the audience to come to the stage.
It's just that there are quite a few first-class masters who watch the excitement under the ring, but there are very few who go to the ring in person.
Those first-class masters of the older generation who became famous early in the rivers and lakes, they have already made a name for themselves in the rivers and lakes of Wu County, and they don't need to fight in this ring to fight for fame.
Victory, it is a matter of course, not much gain. If you lose at the hands of young people, you will damage your reputation and make others think that it is nothing more than that.
The famous seniors and first-class masters cherish their feathers and are reluctant to play.
Therefore, most of the people who are really willing to go to this ring to fight are young disciples of the gang who are not very famous, but already have first-class strength, and they take this great opportunity to appear on the rivers and lakes of Wu County and become famous.
One after another, several young masters stepped into the ring to fight, attracting bursts of applause from the crowd and the people in the audience.
Su Chen and Ah Chou squeezed under the ring, watching the excitement with great interest, pointing to several young masters who were competing on the stage.
"Ladies and gentlemen, this ring is not just famous! The Gusu County Ya set up a rich reward for this ring competition.
There are four small rings here, and you can challenge the champion of any ring. Those who win three in a row will be rewarded with 50 taels of silver, and those who have won five in a row will be rewarded with 100 taels of silver!
Each first-class master only has one chance to compete on stage, so you must grasp it. ”
The senior Su Lao, who presided over the ring, continued to agitate towards the heroes under the ring.
When Ah Chou heard this, his eyes couldn't help but brighten, and a look of excitement appeared on his face, and he hurriedly said: "This ring has won five consecutive victories, and you can actually get a reward of one hundred taels of silver! Brother Chen, what you said is really right, only by first going all out to improve one's cultivation, can you earn a lot of money! A second- or third-rate player who has worked hard for a few years may not be able to fight such a ring like a first-class master and earn so much silver." ”
In the past four or five years, in order to improve his dantian cultivation and martial arts strength as soon as possible, he has spent almost most of his spare time on cultivation.
Otherwise, he would not be able to reach the strength of the first-class realm in just a few years.
Naturally, it was impossible for him to have extra time to earn money, and even spend a little silver to buy herbs for refining.
I used to be a young man at the Sky Eagle Inn, and after working for a year, I only earned a tael of silver, barely enough to eat. Even if he worked for ten lifetimes, he couldn't earn the money he needed.
But as long as you win this ring, you can directly get a full hundred taels of silver!
With the strength of a first-class master, he can really make a lot of money. Of course, even if you are a first-class master, there are not many opportunities to earn a hundred taels of silver a day.
Many of the first-class masters of the big gangs still earn some hard-earned money by working for the gang, ranging from tens of taels to hundreds of taels of silver a month.
"Brother Chen, I'll go to this ring and get the one hundred taels of silver!"
Ah Chou said to Su Chen excitedly.
This hundred taels of silver is not very much,
I don't know when I'll be able to save enough of the big sum of silver taels he needs.
But he is now a first-class mid-level master, and the money comes much faster than before. Accumulated, one day he will be able to earn the large sum of money he needs.
"Hmm. Don't rush to the stage, we just came, and we don't know the strength of these four first-class masters in the small ring, let's take a look at their details first.
When you first find out their strength, if you pick the weakest one to fight, you should be 50 or 60 percent sure that you can get this 100 taels of silver! The worst is 8 or 90 percent sure that you can get 50 taels of silver. ”
Su Chen said with a smile.
Ah Chou nodded fiercely, feeling that it made sense.
In this big ring, there are now four small rings, and their strength is good.
The senior Su Lao, who presided over the ring, also said that each master has only one chance to compete on the stage, challenge any of the four small rings, and once defeated, he will not be allowed to play again.
He is still cautious, first look at the strength of other young first-class masters on the rivers and lakes, so as not to accidentally miss. He lost a hundred taels of silver, which was quite precious to him.
