For a full ten days, Ma Zhan had already spent three hundred days in the practice room.

Every day a lot of time is spent practicing martial arts, and the rest of the time is divided into two parts, one is used to cultivate internal strength, and the other is used to regulate and recuperate. This is the longest cultivation time since Ma Zhan became a duke, and it is also the most arduous period of time.

Ask yourself, since the start of the Jianghu plot, I haven't practiced so hard for a long time.

After the plot of Jianghu opened, I was thinking every day about how to get more money, what to do to minimize the losses of the Wind and Rain Alliance, and what to do to develop the Wind and Rain Alliance rapidly.

One by one, you need to consider yourself. As a result, a lot of time is wasted every day thinking about it. All kinds of designs, all kinds of speculations, not to mention the waste of energy, the results are not very satisfactory.

A lot of time is spent in thinking, and the time for cultivation naturally decreases!

Seriously, do these things need to be done?

Actually, I didn't need it, but I still did it instinctively, why? I also thought about this problem, although I thought about it many times before, but I never figured it out. But now it's clear!

It's not just that I'm slacking off in my heart, but I don't even want to move my body.

What does this mean?

Satisfied with yourself, you have met everything you have.

Yes, how can you not slack off! I already have something that ordinary people can't get in a few lifetimes, and there is no excitement around me, let alone a threat. Even when you enter the plot, you can rely on foresight to avoid danger, which makes you overconfident.

Although I know that this changing world is not simple, but there is no danger coming, I still comfort myself over and over again, "It's okay, there is no danger now, I can enjoy it." ’

Just get by.

Until my memory ran out and I suffered from phobia, I thought that time was the best healing medicine, and I wanted to rely on time to heal it. Unexpectedly, the house leak happened to rain overnight, and the precious holy land 'Xiaodongtian' appeared, accompanied by the birth of the sect in the big rivers and lakes.

At this time, I was even more frightened, which of these sects and families is good for each other?

As far as those families and wealthy families in the real world are concerned, they are all so powerful, not to mention these families and sects with force. At this time, I was really afraid, self-blame, remorse, fear, all the negative emotions I had, and all of a sudden exploded.

Not to mention earth-shattering, it is also a landslide and a crack. It's just dangerous, a little bit, just a little bit, and I will end up with a dead end. It was Satsuki who saved herself, and her cry ......

This is the reborn, this is the reborn who became rich overnight.

Fortunately, the heroic words of the past, the arrogance of the past, almost ended in tragedy.

Is it arrogance? or is it ......

Fortunately, you have a chance to turn the tables, so let's start with the 'Little Cave Sky Battle'!

In the 16th year of the Great Jianghu, on May 1, in the imperial city of Zhongzhou, in the vast square, tens of thousands of people sat in their positions in a proper manner, whether you are the head of a faction or the head of a family.

There was a tall ring from the main entrance of the palace, and there were several hosts who were presiding over the 'Battle for the Cave Heaven' this time, they were officials of the Great Qin Empire's Ministry of Rites, and only one of them was heard saying: "Whoever came here today is either the head of a faction or the head of a family, and everyone's goal is also very clear. That is to fight for the ownership of the small cave. ”

"You are the Jianghu sect, and we are court officials, but in the end, you are still the people of my Great Qin Empire, so everyone must abide by the rules. We won't talk about it today, so as not to disappoint everyone's fun, but we will definitely talk about it in the future, and I don't think it will be too long. ”

The words of the officials of the Ministry of Rites shocked everyone present, and all kinds of speculations kept rolling in their hearts, but there was no strange emotion on the side.

All of them are old fritters!

"Today's battle for the small cave is very simple, have you seen this small token in my hand, this is what everyone wants to fight for. After saying that, he asked the people to go forward with this small token, so that everyone present could observe it carefully.

Ma Zhan saw clearly from a distance, this token is nothing special, it is similar to many identity tokens, such as the waist card of Jinyiwei, and the identity tokens of the disciples of various sects are not much different.

"That's what we're fighting for today, and then we're going to talk about the rules. First, there are only 60 tokens in the competition this time, and many people may ask, isn't it 72, why did it become 60, I want to say that I don't need to say the other 12, everyone will understand where it went!"

This sentence made many people express their dissatisfaction, there were already more wolves and less meat, and now they have been intercepted by the imperial court for no reason, and this is not even less! Perhaps, there should have been one of their own, but it was taken away for nothing.

However, if he dared to be angry but did not dare to speak, he could only hold his anger in his stomach, and everyone understood the truth of shooting the first bird, so the people present still did not move. However, the domineering of the imperial court still caused many people to be dissatisfied.

Is the imperial court testing the attitude of the Jianghu people? Or has the game between the two begun? Ma Zhan thought silently in his heart, calmly observing all this.

The official of the Ministry of Rites did not observe the reaction of the Jianghu people, he continued: "Second, we have put sixty tokens in the small cave sky, and whoever can get the token and hold on for more than fifteen minutes will get the ownership of the small cave heaven." ”

"Third, sixty small cave heavens, more than two hundred gangs and more than fifty families here, each small cave heaven can send one person to participate in the war, that is to say, each sect can send sixty people to participate in the war. But not more than sixty, but less than sixty. ”

Ignoring the discussions of the various sects, he said as he walked: "Everyone, the sixty transformation gates in front of you are the entrance to the small cave heaven that you are going to fight for, please decide as soon as possible." After thirty minutes, those who have not yet entered are counted as abstaining. ”

There are very few people from many gangs, because no one expected this way of fighting, because the norm in the rivers and lakes is to compete in martial arts, and this way of snatching is really a bit tricky.

Is it good to snatch the ownerless thing in this way?

Ma Zhan didn't pay attention to these, there were not many people from the Wind and Rain Alliance today, but there were also a lot, and barely more than a hundred people. So Ma Zhan assigned these people to the entrance of each small cave and began to let them observe which small caves did not have a well-known gang or family to enter.

Although this does not have much effect, it can also avoid some major opponents.

Twenty-five minutes passed quickly, and Ma Zhan suddenly thought of something, but he seemed to have forgotten something, and he didn't think about it after thinking about it, so Yan Beike and the others discussed it, and then quickly entered the small cave.

There were only a few people from the Wind and Rain Alliance who entered Xiaodongtian this time, Ma Zhan, Yan Beike, Li Quan, Hu Buchou, and Po five, and the other hall masters were basically waiting outside.

As soon as Ma Zhan entered the small cave, he saw seven or eight people fighting in one place, and more than thirty people were confronting each other not far away. As soon as I saw this rhythm, I knew that it was not good, and I just wanted to flash away, and I didn't want to fight a few people, so they quickly separated.

More than 50 people scattered to confront each other, such a scene is very interesting.

You need to be on guard from the front and back, and if you're not careful, you'll be attacked.

One of them shouted: "I am the deputy master of the Iron Sword Gate, 'one sword and four seas' Zhang Hu, you sell a face, my Iron Sword Gate will have a good reward in the future." ”

Everyone knew that this was just a temptation, but there were still many people who didn't care about it at all, and only heard someone say, "What kind of thing is the Iron Sword Gate? I am 'Tiger Roaring Dragon Spring' Nie Sheng, who in the East China Sea Pingzhou does not dare to give us the face of the Black Tiger Gang, that is death, and the same is true today. ”

"Hahaha...... You two old guys are outdated, now we are in the world of the Green Dragon Society, even Shaolin Wudang has to sell our face, just rely on you, there is really no tiger in the mountains, and the monkey is the king. Oh, that's right, the two of you really have a tiger character 'One Sword Ping Four Seas Zhang Hu', 'Tiger Roaring Dragon Spring' Nie Sheng. Tsk, what a bitter comparison. I dare to say such big things, I really don't know how you are alive today. ”

Such arrogant words simply made the deputy masters of the Iron Sword Gate, 'One Sword Flat Four Seas' Zhang Hu and 'Tiger Roaring Longquan' Nie Sheng, angry, but the two of them didn't dare to move, and they were attacked by the crowd. This is also the reason why the guy in the Blue Dragon Club has no fear.

Ma Zhan didn't want to be this bird, because many people haven't reported themselves yet, and without knowing other people, he doesn't want to be the target of public criticism, and the battle without knowing the other side will be very uncomfortable. And arrogance has to be arrogant, and without knowing that you can crush this group of people, there is nothing wrong with being low-key.

In this way, everyone confronted each other for a long time, and sweat appeared on many people's faces, Ma Zhan knew that the cultivation of these people should be relatively low, and their mentality was not very good, so it should be said that their bearing capacity was relatively poor.

Suddenly, Ma Zhan figured it out, and it didn't take long for sweat to appear on his face.

As a martial artist, it is instinct to see and listen to all directions, and besides, these people are slowly turning their bodies and observing everyone.

In just such a period of time, each of them has a certain judgment in their hearts, and many plans are also quickly taking shape in their minds, negating, forming, and negating......

Suddenly, someone spoke, this is a man with thick eyebrows and big eyes, his appearance is quite honest, there is not a drop of sweat on his face, only listen to him: "Everyone, today we are all here for the token of Xiaodongtian, but it is not a way for us to confront each other like this, it is better for us to find the token first." ”

"Che, you think you're very good, why should everyone listen to you? And you can guarantee that no one will sneak up? What if someone sneaks up, then it wouldn't be as easy to talk as it is now. A guy with a sharp mouth and cheeks said, and there was not a trace of sweat on this man's face.

"yes, what if someone sneaks up?"

"Yes, it's too unjust to die like that!"

......

Everyone said that it seemed that no one trusted anyone, but the meaning of the mouth was a little moved, mainly because they were afraid that some of them would not keep their word and attack the killer halfway.

Without waiting for everyone to say anything, the man with thick eyebrows and big eyes continued: "I understand what everyone means, it's better like this, if anyone sneaks up and kills someone, as long as he is caught, then we will kill him together." How?"

As soon as these words came out, everyone understood the meaning, as long as he was caught, they would kill him together, and if he was not caught, who would it be aimed at? The meaning of this was very vague.

Ma Zhan quickly understood that this was to borrow a knife to kill people. looked at this man with thick eyebrows and big eyes, such a simple face, the first feeling he gave people was an honest man, but he didn't expect to have such a delicate mind, it seems that the rivers and lakes are really a magical place.

"It's really not the way to go on like this, okay, I agree. The deputy master of the Iron Sword Gate was the first to speak.

"I agree. ”

......

Ma Zhan observed carefully, there are not many people without sweat on their faces, there are indeed not many people, the deputy master of the Iron Sword Gate, the guy from the Blue Dragon Society, this honest man, and Nie Sheng of the Black Tiger Gang, there is a character who looks like a scholar.

As for whether there is a subordinate like himself, pretending to be a pig and eating a tiger, it's really hard to say. If it was before, I would think I was very smart, but after the honest man's words, this became a question.

There were more than 50 people in the group, and they were very scattered, all of them were wary of others.

didn't go long, just when Ma Zhan wanted to make a sneak attack (using the Wuxiang Robbery Finger), a scream suddenly came, and everyone was on alert.

Soon, Hu Tao (a simple man) from the Qingshan faction, Nie Sheng from the Black Tiger Gang, Zhang Hu from the Iron Sword Gate, and Wu Guo from the Blue Dragon Society (after everyone discussed again, they reported their names to each other), and the four of them came together and observed the people who fell to the ground.

I only heard Zhang Hu say: "This person died, obviously because of a hidden weapon, but when they reported to each other just now, there were obviously no people from the Sichuan Tangmen, and there were no people from the Perak Hall." This ......"

"Yes, this person's methods are very clever, and his methods are also very unique, I asked the people around me just now, and no one can see who is making the move at all!" Nie Sheng said with a frown.

Hu Tao observed carefully, and then said: "Everyone, please protect yourself, and at the same time pay attention to your surroundings, the person who killed someone this time may be one of our group, or it may be someone who came in before." ”

"What's going on, your uncle, what did you say, what's going on now. He died before he took a few steps, who knows if it would be your collusion!" A Qingcheng faction named Zhao Si said loudly.

Zhao Si of the Qingcheng faction is either a master of art and bold, or a stunned young man who relies on the power of the Qingcheng faction. But his words still aroused the approval of the group.

I only heard someone say: "Yes, it was said well at the time, but now it has changed again, who knows if someone colluded to do it." If that's the case, wouldn't all of us all die in vain?

It looks like the rhythm of a scattered gang, but Ma Zhan understands that this should be Zhao Si of the Qingcheng faction, who wants to occupy a leading position, and the others are just making trouble for themselves.
