Great Xuanwu Sheng Chapter 272

Chapter 272 Iron Hand Regiment

time flies.

 Five months have passed in the blink of an eye.

The war in Bingzhou is still raging. Although the Qixuan Sect has never reached a unified opinion and the Supreme Elder has never come forward, due to interests, they still passively participate in the local war in Bingzhou.

The so-called interests move people's hearts. In troubled times, it is difficult to make the deep-rooted big forces take action on the righteousness of fighting aliens and rescuing people in troubled times. It is nothing more than a slogan. On the contrary, it is a lot of things that were gradually revealed during the Bingzhou War. The resources and interests attracted the Qixuan Sect to take action, and as a result, they gradually came into contact with the Heavenly Demons, Heavenly Corpses and even foreign races.

also.

As far as Chen Mu knows, although the major sects and state forces in Hanbei Road are in a wait-and-see state towards Bingzhou, they have actually deployed people to operate in Bingzhou, waiting for opportunities to plunder resources. It can be said that it is a mess, just like Beizhou back then. , Hanzhou.

In a courtyard in the inner city of Yuzhou Prefecture, Chen Mu was instructing Chen Yue on his practice.

But when I saw Chen Yue holding a sword, the sword light was flying, and he kept attacking Chen Mu. Every sword was accompanied by a sharp sound of breaking through the air. The force was very fierce. He had already entered the level of bone forging realm, comparable to some outstanding swordsmen. The inner gate of Qixuan Sect.

Ding!

Chen Mu pointed at the sword and kept bending and flicking the points, breaking Chen Yue's sword moves one by one. He stood motionless on the spot, and at the same time gave instructions: "For the toughness of the mountain, do it when you go, and stop when you stop." , Ruru doesn't move.”

"The words in these books are a bit mysterious, but they actually point to the essence. When the mountain is advancing, you will advance, and when it retreats, you will retreat. It does not mean that you should always be head-on with your opponent, but that you should not hesitate before taking action. The twists and turns.”

when.

Chen Mu pointed out again, and struck the sword in Chen Yue's hand away. The force penetrated the blade and reached her wrists and arms, causing her to stagger back several steps. Her forehead was covered with beads of sweat, and her whole body There was also a slight gasp.

"Okay, let's stop here. You understood it very quickly. Now you can basically use swordsmanship to bring out the strength of the forged bones. When will you be able to understand the artistic conception of Genshan? You are considered a master in the Bone Forging Realm, and even within the inner sect of Qixuan Sect, you can compare with many top-ranked inner sect disciples."

Chen Mu nodded slightly at Chen Yue, stopping her from continuing to attack.

Chen Yue took a deep breath, calmed her breathing, and then said in a playful voice: "Thank you for your advice, brother."

Chen Mu shook his head and laughed, and said: "Why thank you? Go sit quietly for a while and understand it."

"Um."

Chen Yue nodded, then took a few steps back, took off his embroidered shoes, sat down on the clean pear wood corridor, closed his eyes and recalled his thoughts.

After Chen Mu looked at Chen Yue's actions, he turned around and walked out. He quickly returned to his yard, came to the bedroom, and took out a stack of booklets from the box. Upon closer inspection, he saw a number of reasons. Intelligence message composed of different papers.

As the protector of the Qixuan Sect, although he does not currently hold an official position in the state capital, he can still enter and exit the Supervision Department of the state capital and other places at will. It is not difficult to check some information from various places in Yuzhou.

 Chen Mu pondered for a moment and started reading from the first page.

 'Iron Hands'

He controls dozens of large and small boat gangs in the Wusha River Basin, controls the output and profits of Wusha, and is also related to many banditry and robberies. He acts cruelly. In order to make the boat gang obey his orders, he once slaughtered more than a hundred boat gangs and hung their heads. Along the coast, everyone was frightened. Since then, no one has been dissatisfied. The state government has suppressed them several times, but no traces have been found. The whereabouts of the money stolen every year is unknown.

'Cuiyan Villa'

He is in charge of the mining of a large emerald mine in the Cuiyan Mountains. Every year, he donates a large amount of money to the Fang family in the state capital. With the blessing of the Fang family, he is powerful. He is rampant in the local area and oppresses the county government to do his bidding. In recent years, he is suspected of plundering everywhere. After the young women fell into Cuiyan Villa, they disappeared without a trace.

 That's right.

The stack of information in Chen Mu's hands is all related to the many dark forces in Yuzhou.

These forces that have existed in Yuzhou for a long time, run rampant in various places, and act with heinous cruelty are basically more or less involved with the Qixuan Sect that governs Yuzhou, or rely on the support of the six major families of Xiangzhou Prefecture. People such as the 'Fang family' in China offer money in order to obtain a certain degree of protection, or they are simply external forces cultivated by some family.

　　The reason why he brought this information was not that he was so jealous and wanted to clean up these unsightly dirty things, but that he planned to randomly select some 'lucky ones' - because he was short of money.

 Five months later.

All the resources he had harvested before had been basically used up. He had replaced them with warm and nourishing spiritual creatures in the Qixuan Sect to promote his cultivation of the six internal organs. Now the other resources left on hand are all useful to him, and they are not available for the time being. Suitable for movement.

  【Liu Fu Jing (72%)】

 【Experience: 0 points】

Five months later, the tempering level of his six internal organs has reached 72%!

As he expected, the tempering practice of the six internal organs, after crossing the 60% limit, is just like the previous practice of Yijin and Bone Strengthening. The need for further tempering has become higher. He will use the warm and nourishing type that he exchanged for in Qixuan Sect. After all the spiritual items were consumed, the tempering progress of the six internal organs finally stopped at 72%.

This is because in order to have a solid foundation and not damage the internal organs themselves, he uses gentler means to digest and nourish spiritual creatures at intervals. Otherwise, the efficiency can be higher.

certainly.

 In fact, this efficiency is already amazing!

 It has only taken seven or eight months since Chen Mucong entered the Six Fu Realm!

You must know that many warriors in the Six Fu Realm, who have been practicing for five or six years, may only be at about 70 or 80% of the tempering level. At this level, they have even begun to have the qualifications to attack the profound entrance and try to enter the Marrow Cleansing Master Realm. !

But for Chen Mu, of course he would not stop there. Not to mention that the chance of breaking through the entrance is very small. Even if there was a chance to break through, he would not try it now. After all, it is difficult for ordinary people. For him, as long as he has enough resources, he can easily achieve the ultimate tempering of the Six Fu Realm.

“It's no wonder Yan Jingqing can't deal with this kind of top-down corruption of officialdom.”

 Chen Mu looked through the pieces of information and sighed in his heart.

The evil forces with no background have basically been eradicated long ago. Not the government, even many disciples of Qixuan Sect who go down the mountain to practice may attack those forces. However, big evil forces like these, which have been entrenched in various parts of Yuzhou for many years, Behind them are more or less the shadows of the six major families in Yuzhou and even some other high-level forces of the Qixuan Sect.

In this case, even if Yan Jingqing is righteous, what can he do?

He may be able to defeat one Iron Hand regiment, but he cannot destroy ten Iron Hand regiments. Once he arouses public anger and makes all forces in Yuzhou dissatisfied with him, even if he is a master of the list, he will not be able to stand it. Even if he is not afraid of these things, he still has to think about the Yan family, so he cannot be unscrupulous.

In fact, masters like Feng Hongsheng and Qin Mengjun have their own martial arts will and heroic spirit to become masters. It is unlikely that they will be directly involved in protecting such evil forces, but they have clans behind them.

 Because of their existence, there were the Feng family and the Qin family.

And because of the existence of the Feng family and the Qin family, there are lower-level officials and even chaotic gangs at the bottom. This layer-by-layer structure is an unbreakable chain. Even if a certain master wants to break it, You can't do it on your own.

Perhaps Xuanji Pavilion has some right ideas. If they want to calm down the troubled times, they can only tear everything down and start over, including the decadent Qixuan Sect, and in the process, they will not hesitate to use all means.

but. Chen Mu agrees with some of Xuanji Pavilion's views, but will not support Xuanji Pavilion's actions, because if the world eventually needs to be overthrown and started over, then he will be the only one to stretch out that hand.

Of course, it is still too long-term to think about these things now. Chen Mu's philosophy has never been to calm troubled times, but to be unscrupulous. Therefore, Chen Mu has no interest in trying to change the situation after looking up the information about various forces.

 All he wants is resources.

These forces are just right for him, and he has a clear conscience if he kills two or three at will.

As for these forces, he doesn't care which family or Qixuan Sect elder is involved behind them. His purpose is always clear. Before his strength is not strong enough, everything he does is to improve his strength.

"Now, apart from the top three, I probably have no opponents on the ranking list. I just don't know if I can resist one or two moves against a master like Fu Jingyuan. Maybe there is still a gap."

Chen Mu shook his head slightly.

After five months, not only had his six organs been tempered to 72%, but the artistic conception of the universe had also moved up a small step. He had completed the fifth deduction and was getting closer and closer to the limit of the second step. Close.

In addition, the skill of Luo Hua Wuhen has also been developed to the second level. It is performed with the artistic conception of the universe and the wheel seal of heaven and earth. It is getting closer and closer to the realm of martial arts, and the degree of concentration of power has been further improved.

Now, with all his strength based on his artistic conception alone, he can probably mobilize about thirty-four or five parts of the power of heaven and earth, and the weight of Yuangang's true energy is also equivalent to it, which together is about seventy parts!

 In terms of quantity, compared with third-level masters like Fu Jingyuan, he is actually almost the same.

It's just that the opponent's internal and external are integrated, and the martial body is perfect and the martial arts field is far stronger than him in the degree of concentration of power. They are not on the same level. Therefore, when he encounters such a being, he can still only escape and cannot compete.

 But the improvement in strength is real, and I feel more confident after all.

Maybe.

When the intensity of his artistic conception increases and his six organs are tempered to the limit, he will be able to form a 'quantity' gap. When the time comes to overcome others with quantity, even if he does not have a domain or a martial body, he may not be able to defeat these third-level warriors. Grandmaster!

 “Then, let's start with this Iron Hand Regiment.”

Chen Mu looked at the intelligence information on the paper lightly.

The information about the Iron Hand Regiment is the vaguest, and he doesn't even know which family in Yuzhou is standing behind it, but this is actually better for him. Even if the fight attracts the master of Qixuan Sect, he can evade it. I don't know, and I can't do anything to him.

 out out out?

 Put away the information.

 Chen Mu quietly opened a box placed under the bed, took out a set of luggage from the bottom of the box, changed it, and went out silently.

 The place where the Iron Hands appeared was the Wusha River Basin.

The Wusha River is a river that flows along the eastern edge of Yujun, where the capital of Yuzhou is located. This river happens to be the junction of Yujun and Linjun, dividing Yujun and Linjun.

Going north along this river are Bijun and Langjun, and going south is the most remote Yujun.

 “This is Wujiang River, and it really lives up to its name.”

After Chen Mu quietly left the state capital, he headed east. At his current speed, he arrived at the edge of Jade County and the bank of Wujiang River in less than half a day.

At this time, he stood on the river bank with his hands folded, watching the rolling river water coming from the end of his sight. The water was turbid, dark brown in color, and black in color. It was a scene of black sand in the ground, but it was different from him. Other rivers I have seen in the past are different.

 Usha.

 A kind of high-quality sand material, the walls cast from it are as strong as iron. For example, the city walls of the state capital use a large amount of Usha, and the private castles built by many forces also use this material.

Just as Chen Mu was looking at the river, he saw a boat coming across the turbid river. There were two figures on the boat, an old man, about fifty or sixty years old, and a little girl, about eleven or twelve. age.

 “Sir, do you want to cross the river?”

The old man was holding the boat pole and saw Chen Mu on the shore from a distance, so he took the initiative to come over and asked Chen Mu.

"good."

Chen Mu glanced at the old man, walked towards the river bank with a calm expression, and then boarded the boat in one step.

When the old man saw Chen Mu landed on the boat and did not sit down, but just stood there, he smiled and reminded: "Sir, please sit tight. Although this is the gentlest section of the river, the river is still very fast. The Water Dragon King will It's a big deal to turn over.”

“Sir, please sit here.”

　　The little girl sitting in the boat whispered.

After hearing the old man's reminder, Chen Mu wanted to say no, but when he saw the little girl making way, he shook his head slightly and sat down next to her.

Upon seeing this, the old man picked up the pole and slowly sailed the boat into the river.

Chen Mu looked at the little girl in front of him and saw that she was a bit sallow and thin, looking like she didn't have enough food, so he asked: "I heard that in the Wusha River area, people rely on the river to eat. Although there are few fish in the river, there are few fish in the river. You can get a lot of money by taking Usha, so it seems that this job of ferrying passengers is not as good as sifting Usha?"

The old man was holding the pole while listening to Chen Mu's words. He couldn't help shaking his head and smiling bitterly, and said: "Guest seems to be a foreigner. This Wusha is indeed valuable. In the early years, one person could support the family by working alone. But after eleven years, Starting from a few years ago, the price of Usha has been lowered year after year. To do this job, you have to pay "ship protection money" to the boat gang. The child's parents were killed by a flood a few years ago. I am doing the job alone. , but I can't even pay the 'ship protection money'.”

 Eleven years ago.

It was precisely when the Iron Hands gradually began to control the boat gangs along the Wujiang River according to the intelligence.

Thoughts flashed through Chen Mu's mind, and he shook his head slightly. The situation was indeed no different from the state capital. The work people did was enough for food and clothing, but after going through layers of exploitation, it became a hard life.

 “How about selling Usha directly to another place?”

 Chen Mu asked again.

After hearing this, the old man shook his head and said: "These ten miles and eight villages are the territory of the Zhang family boat gang. You can sell them wherever you go. Besides, if you dare to go around them and sell black sand outside, if you are caught... You won't be the guest sir." Come and collect Usha. If you want to do this job, give up your mind. Last month, a group of people from other places bought Usha and took it directly from our village. As a result, they were discovered by the boat gang. The next day Duo's head was hung at the ferry."

　　The old man couldn't help but shudder when he said this, and there was a hint of fear in his eyes.

When Chen Mu heard this, he cast his eyes on the rolling turbid river water with calm eyes. It was clear that the soles of his feet were valuable black sand, which was inexhaustible, but it could not be used to feed the family. The government was corrupt and officials and bandits were colluding. This was nothing more than this.

This situation cannot be solved by annihilating the Boat Gang and the Iron Hands. The Boat Gang itself is composed of villagers. If one group is destroyed, another group will be destroyed. The same is true for the Iron Hands. However, he is not here to save the suffering. It was just to borrow some resources from the Iron Hands, and if it could improve the lives of the common people along the Wujiang River for a period of time, it would be a clear conscience.
