Is there any true perfection in the world?

The procession, which was missing one man and one car, set off again, shuttling through the trees and continuing south.

Counting the world, it has been more than half a month since leaving Anqing County, and the time limit set by the Great Commander of Yinxuanwei may have already exceeded how much.

The group left Anqing County, and more than half a month passed, but it was only nearly two-thirds of the way. This is already 108,000 miles slower than the speed of Zhang Fuzhi, the second-grade silver Xuanwei who was killed by Chen Qingniu, who rushed from Cangbei Mansion City to Anqing County in just a few days.

However, the young man in the carriage still didn't seem to be in a hurry, and even now, Chen Qingniu asked Huang Fu to stop more often than before.

It has been seven days since leaving the Shenshui River, but it has only been three hundred miles away, and Lu Buwei, who has always let Chen Qingniu be in charge of big and small things, is also a little anxious, and can't help but find a time to get off the car and rest and pull Chen Qingniu to complain and half-joke: "Qingniu, if we go on such a tour of the mountains and rivers again, when we get to Fucheng, I am afraid that the commander of the king will not recognize us." ”

Chen Qingniu said: "Brother Lu, it's the same if you go early and go late, with this Yinxuanwei identity token, we are already Yinxuanwei." Even if we don't perform our duties for three months, the Sifu side can't do anything to us, at most, we will only be gossiped a few words behind the backs of those old people inside, and it doesn't matter. ”

Lu Buwei was quite puzzled: "Qingniu, we have only only met the commander of the king, how do you know this? No, to be honest, did the surnamed Wang not go far at that time, and turned around behind my back and Mu Zhi secretly showed favor to you?"

Chen Qingniu just shook his head and smiled, and did not explain further.

Regarding the matter in the Yinxuan Guard's Mansion, it was naturally revealed by the Shenshui River God after hearing the purpose of his trip.

The three major Xuanwei of the Great Xuan Dynasty, whether it is Jin Xuanwei who supervises hundreds of civil and military officials, or Yin Xuanwei who supervises and deters rivers and lakes, or Hei Xuanwei who guards the border and expands the territory, are all above the six departments of the imperial court.

Why?

Just because the people behind the scenes of these three Xuanwei are pilgrimages.

However, compared with the other two Xuanwei, this silver Xuanwei is quite special, not only are the people in it the most idle, even if the management of the Sifu is also extremely lax, although there are grades, it is just to satisfy the fame of most of the people below.

Aside from the fact that the real leaders of the general departments of the various prefectures are indeed the dynasty officials sent by the imperial court, in fact, most of them are just halfway monks, and they can't stand the temptation of the high-ranking officials of the imperial court and the daunting reputation, so they abandon the secret and join the light.

Using Jianghu people to suppress and deter Jianghu people is the real intention of the establishment of Yinxuanwei in the imperial court.

Although some of these people who joined the rivers and lakes of Yin Xuanwei also guessed a little, the imperial court's move was a big suspicion of letting them eat dogs in the rivers and lakes, but even if they guessed, how many people in the world dared to ask themselves if they could resist the imperial court offering such a rich condition and really didn't care about fame and fortune?

Therefore, through the fact that he is also a member of the imperial court system, Chen Qingniu has long lost the feeling of being controlled by others and being bound by it. On the contrary, it seems to be somewhat in line with him.

In fact, if it weren't for the fact that Lu Lin and the others were there at the time, he would not have agreed anyway with his temperament.

Since this Yin Xuanwei is so loose in management, if he goes a few days early and a few days later, he must not really embarrass the three of them with the stomach of that Wang Da Commander.

Of course, Chen Qingniu asked Huang Fu to stop and rest from time to time, and naturally there was another reason.

Chen Qingniu, who has lost the mind to look at the scenery, now spends most of his time in addition to boring meditation and cultivation, he always pays attention to the changes in Jin Yue'er's body.

Today's Jin Yue'er, although she doesn't seem to have anything wrong except for being blind, even though it has been nearly ten days since the battle with the sinking river god, the complexion on her face has not improved.

That water spirit, Chen Qingniu had already handed it over to Jin Yue'er, and as Xuan Shen said, the moment Jin Yue'er saw the water spirit, she bluntly said that it was very helpful to her.

However, Chen Qingniu could see that this so-called help was limited to cultivation, and it still did not help to cure Jin Yue'er's excessive use of spiritual dao ability.

Fortunately, since Jin Yue'er began refining the water essence, although her complexion has not improved, her spiritual ability is getting stronger and stronger at a flying speed.

When the sinking river, this woman was desperate, even if she did not hesitate to suffer the backlash of ability, she had to fight with the sinking river god turbidity cow, for what, Chen Qingniu knew better than anyone else.

It's just that although Jin Yue'er never said it, how could Chen Qingniu not realize the trace of powerlessness after the other party's invincibility and the trace of loneliness in his eyes when he found that he couldn't help him?

This stupid woman!

In order to prevent Jin Yue'er from unscrupulously improving her realm after getting this opportunity, Chen Qingniu must always pay attention to Jin Yue'er's changes, and even, every one or two hours, he will ask Huang Fu to stop, so that Jin Yue'er can use his ability, feel it personally, and observe it closely.

Chen Qingniu no longer wants anything to happen to this woman. Fortunately, there was no other abnormality except for Jin Yue'er's daily talk about the improvement of cultivation, so Chen Qingniu was relieved.

The two carriages are still driving on the official road one after the other, and the closer they get to Cangbei Fucheng, the more lively they become.

Even in the wilderness, from time to time you can see one or two bearers carrying mountain goods to sell, and you can see one or two tea and wine shops and mountain inns from a short distance.

There were also more pedestrians on the road, in addition to those ordinary people, even cultivators who were rarely seen on the rivers and lakes of Anqing, along the way, Chen Qingniu had already sensed no less than hundreds of people.

Although these people also walk the rivers and lakes, they can naturally be distinguished at a glance compared with ordinary people who only know how to enter the stream.

However, what really caught Chen Qingniu's attention was not these cultivators, but when everyone passed through a bamboo forest, a team of officials escorting the prisoner car came up behind, and when he drove to the side to avoid it, Chen Qingniu, who lifted the curtain of the car, had a hurried glance at the person in the prisoner car.

Because Chen Qingniu had been emphasizing that it was too much, Jin Yue'er's refining speed of the water essence gradually slowed down, and when Chen Qingniu was not cultivating, she was also awake most of the time.

Although she couldn't see the change in the expression on Chen Qingniu's face, Jin Yue'er could hear Chen Qingniu's soft voice clearly, and couldn't help asking, "Ah Niu, what's wrong?"

Putting down the curtain, Chen Qingniu said truthfully: "It's okay, I just saw two familiar faces." ”

Jin Yue'er was puzzled, she had met her mother-in-law, and there was naturally not much to say about the harmonious mother-in-law and daughter-in-law.

Chen Qingniu has been growing up, in the short few days in the small ravine, the kind-hearted mother-in-law has already talked to her.

Chen Qingniu, like her, is now going out for the first time, and even, before that, Chen Qingniu has never left that small ravine.

So, in this place nearly thousands of miles away from Anqing County, where did Chen Qingniu come from.

Although Jin Yue'er couldn't stare at him as often as before, Chen Qingniu, who was quite conscious, also hurriedly explained.

It turned out that in one of the prisoner carts in the prison car team that had just passed, there were indeed two people Chen Qingniu who were familiar with each other, although they couldn't talk about any friendship, but Chen Qingniu remembered it clearly, because these two people were the martial arts couple in the caravan he rescued on the official road of Beihu Mountain.

Regarding this matter, Chen Qingniu told everyone that Jin Yue'er had some impressions. It's just that later, because of her spiritual ability, everyone put the matter aside in order to save Chen Qingniu, and they didn't ask for half a sentence.

If you save people for a while, you can't save them for a lifetime.

Although the impression of this couple on him is not bad, but they have met in Pingshui, and he Chen Qingniu has not yet been the Bodhisattva who saves suffering, let alone a hero to do such a stupid thing as robbing a prisoner car under the nose of an official.

What's more, if these two people really did something treacherous and evil and were arrested by the imperial court, then if he saved these two people, wouldn't he become a person who aided and abused them?

It's just that although he made up his mind not to save it, Chen Qingniu always felt a little uneasy.

After the team of prisoner vans escorted by dozens of officials was hidden in the dense forest in front of them, Chen Qingniu lifted the curtain and asked Huang Fudao: "Huang Lao, how long will it take to go to Cangbei Mansion City?"

Huang Fu replied truthfully: "Chen Gongzi, if there is no accident, there are still three cities to pass ahead, more than 300 miles away, and it will definitely be reached in five days." ”

Chen Qingniu nodded and said, "In that case, Huang Lao, then choose an open and shady place in front of you to park, it's getting late today, let's start tomorrow." ”

After speaking, Chen Qingniu lowered the curtain.

Huang Fu looked up, although the forest was dim, but it was not difficult to see through the bamboo shadow, now noon Yang had just deviated two fists from the middle to the east, compared to the late sky that Chen Qingniu said, it was a good time to hurry.

However, this is obviously not the first time Chen Qingniu has made such a request, and Huang Fu is not surprised.

So, after the two carriages traveled nearly 20 miles, on the open grass next to the official road outside the bamboo forest, after finding an old tree with a crooked neck that could provide shade, Huang Fulema stopped.

Lu Lin and the others in the carriage behind them walked down, thinking that something had happened, and they all put on a posture of waiting.

Now, after Chen Qingniu and Lu Buwei have spoken, the two are not in a hurry.

But Lu Buwei still asked Chen Qingniu, who also got out of the carriage, and said, "Qingniu, it's still early in the morning?"

Chen Qingniu helped Jin Yue'er to sit aside before replying: "It's not a few days, let's slow down, after tonight, we'll set off again." ”

Jin Yue'er helped Chen Qingniu speak: "Brother, listen to Ah Niu this time." ”

Obviously, Chen Qingniu had already talked to Jin Yue'er about the feeling of restlessness, and both of them were cultivators, so they naturally understood that what could make them feel their state of mind was naturally the so-called cause and effect line in the dark.

Seeing that it was boring, and seeing Chen Qingniu Jin Yue'er explain more, Lu Bu, who had touched the moldy head, looked at Lin Mudao on the side like a child: "Let's go, stuffy, let's go to the bamboo forest to practice swords." ”

Stuffy is obviously the affectionate name of this young owner of Feiyan Sword Village and Lin Muzhi after they get acquainted with each other, and Lin Muzhi, who is only thinking about the sword, naturally won't mind this.

Well, in fact, now Lin Muzhi has no sword, and in the battle with Turbidity Niu, his ordinary iron sword has been destroyed, although everyone has also passed through several big cities along the way, Chen Qingniu also wants to buy a new one with him, but Lin Muzhi feels that it is not easy after trying it.

According to Lin Muzhi's meaning, I still went to Cangbei Mansion City and then found a blacksmith shop to build one according to the style of the previous handle, and the quality did not need to be too good, after all, I was used to it, so I took advantage of it.

Now, these two are fighting, Lu Buwei, who has the Xuanqing Sword in his hand, naturally will not put such a divine object in his hands, and Lin Muzhi often casually breaks a dead branch from the side of the road and goes into battle.

But Xiao is like this, in the case of not using internal force, most of the time it is still Lu Buwei who suffers.

This, which made him even more aggrieved, sometimes shouted that he would not do it, saying that Mu Zhi, you have definitely been promoted to an innate martial artist, we are brothers, is it necessary for you to hide and bully me in secret?

Lin Muzhi is becoming more and more silent, and often only responds with two words: "A sword!"

At this moment, after listening to Lu Buwei's proposal, Lin Muzhi looked at Chen Qingniu, of course, he didn't want Chen Qingniu to agree to him, but he could see that Chen Qingniu had something in his heart but didn't say it, he wanted to ask Chen Qingniu if he and Lu Buwei needed to stay and take care of one or two.

Chen Qingniu said with a smile: "Go ahead, but there are many cultivators among those people who come and go now, you two be careful and try to find a place far away from the official road." Go early and come back early. ”

After the two left, Chen Qingniu and Jin Yue'er sat under the crooked neck tree, and Huang Fu and Zhu Yanzhang also came over after leading the horses aside to eat grass and drink.

Zhu Yanzhang's expression was solemn, and he wanted to stop talking.

Chen Qingniu saw it at a glance and said: "Old Zhu, there is nothing bad to say between us, just talk about anything." ”

Zhu Yanzhang hesitated and asked, "But Chen Gongzi let Lao Huang stop because the official team that escorted the prisoner car before was worried about colliding with him again?"

Chen Qingniu nodded, and said truthfully: "That's true, there are two people in that prisoner car, and they are the martial arts couple who went alone to rescue the caravan that night when we were about to leave the northern mountain boundary. ”

"The two of them actually have a good impression of me, but if they can't be saved, it's better to be out of sight and out of mind. ”

Zhu Yanzhang naturally didn't believe that Chen Qingniu would delay his trip because of such a trivial matter, but he didn't ask much, and thought about it: "Chen Gongzi, do you recognize the identity of that team of officials?"

As soon as Zhu Yanzhang's words came out, Chen Qingniu was puzzled, and Jin Yueer and Huang Fu were also puzzled.

"Don't you know a thing or two, Old Zhu?"

Previously, Chen Qingniu was still puzzled in his heart, the clothes worn by the group of officials were the official uniforms worn by the Yamen of the Great Xuan Dynasty, but among these people, there were even several cultivators, although it was only a glimpse, but the sense of threat given to him was not weaker than the feeling that Liu Zhixian gave him at the beginning of the third-grade silver Xuanwei, and even, two of them, gave him a sense of threat like that of the second-grade silver Xuanwei Zhang Fuzhi, or even a little stronger.

Zhu Yanzhang shook his head and smiled bitterly: "I don't know much, but I have seen one or two from afar." ”

At this point, the old man took a slight breath and said, "If the old man had not been dizzy, I saw that the uniforms of the messengers escorting the prisoner were embroidered with a finger-thick black vertical line on the shoulder, and two of them were embroidered with two, which already represented the identity of these two people as the second layer of guards. ”

These vertical lines represent a major force in the city, the Black Hell of the Netherworld. Even if the old man once talked to Chen Gongzi, the mountain forces of one mountain, two sects, three sects and four families did not dare to provoke, and even reached a point of daunting. ”

"The Black Hell?"

Chen Qingniu frowned and recalled that when the Shenshui River Zhengshen talked to him about the affairs of Yin Xuanwei, he had mentioned this imperial court institution in a word, because the three major Xuanwei envoys of the dynasty did not have to cut the grass and eradicate the roots every time, those Jianghu people who were found to be corrupt by Jin Xuanwei, who were arrested by Yin Xuanwei, and some generals who were not low in status were all imprisoned in this black prison.

The reason for this is naturally that most of these people are real mountain cultivators, and it is tantamount to an idiot's dream to be treated as an ordinary prison, and only this black hell guarded by the cultivators of the imperial court can be suppressed.

Therefore, this institution, like the three major Xuanwei of the imperial court, is also independent of the six departments.

However, according to legend, the thirteen black hells in this Great Xuan Dynasty are not in the hands of the current saints, but are all controlled by the current national teacher, but it is so top secret, the Shenshui River Zhengshen who is also in the temple of the Great Xuan Dynasty will naturally not reveal too much, but just inform Chen Qingniu that as a silver Xuanwei, he will naturally have to deal with this black hell in the future, but it is best not to be evil with the underworld in this black hell.

Knowing the identity of the other party, Chen Qingniu couldn't figure it out.

No wonder he always felt restless when those guards passed by him, and he always felt that the other party was looking at him, presumably because of the couple in the prison car, and he who had saved his life with these two people was obviously also targeted by these guards.

However, he and those two people just met in the water, and these guards could find out that he had nothing to do with those two people after a little investigation, so why did they show such ill intentions towards him?

Chen Qingniu was very puzzled.

It's just that he doesn't understand, it's impossible for him to catch a guard and come back to ask, he has the identity token of the Silver Xuanwei, and he is also one of the most special institutions in the Great Xuan Dynasty, he doesn't believe that these guards will be indiscriminate, and even his party will dare to arrest him.

After figuring it out, in order to make everyone less worried, Chen Qingniu explained: "It's just a fellow officialdom in the future, we don't have to be so nervous, in fact, I just felt a sense of threat from him, which made Huang Lao stop. ”

The three of them thought for a moment and felt that Chen Qingniu's explanation was in line with common sense.

However, in the next moment, there were pedestrians in the bamboo forest behind him who quickly ran out as if they had seen something terrible, and some of them didn't even leave the official road in order to survive, and they walked out of the bamboo forest, extremely embarrassed.

There was no need for Chen Qingniu to say more, Huang Fu had already jumped out and grabbed a middle-aged man dressed as a ranger: "Dare to ask Your Excellency, I don't know that there are demon beasts in this bamboo forest, why are you all running for your life?"

The middle-aged man wanted to break free of Huang Fu's hand, but to no avail several times, and couldn't help but beg urgently: "Senior, you just spare the younger generation and let the younger generation leave, there are two young people in the bamboo forest who are fighting fiercely with a group of officials, I heard that on the way, some people who know the official uniforms worn by those officials mentioned that those officials are very similar to the rumored guards in the Black Prison, just before, there was a large group of people escorting the prisoner car through here." If the juniors don't run again, wait for those guards to turn around and come back along the road to deal with those two, with the iron-blooded methods of those guards, where will the juniors still have a chance to live, and ask the seniors to raise their noble hands and let the juniors leave quickly. ”

When Chen Qingniu heard this, he chuckled in his heart, no wonder he still felt uneasy even if he figured it out, it turned out that those guards had secretly left someone to take advantage of the opportunity to make a move.
