The mind is very different from what it used to be, and its perception of the surrounding environment has been greatly improved.

Huang Xian, the head of the black ya, had not seen him for many days, and he came in a hurry at this moment, his heart was restless, and his face was worried, which made An Le's heart slightly cold.

Huang Zhutou, as the person who introduced him to the Lin Mansion to become a painter, was a favor to him, and if something happened, An Le would help.

Before continuing to practice, An Le got up, and the ink pool on his lap fell into his waist, and the green mountain also swept over, pinned to his waist.

Huang Zhutou stepped into the courtyard and saw peace at a glance.

The warm spring sun hung high in the sky, pouring light golden sunlight, draped on the white-clothed young man, like a hazy golden mang, draped the hair that hung comfortably down his shoulders, and the loose sleeved robe swayed with the spring breeze, like a fairy walking down the gate of heaven.

The waist pole is straight, such as carrying the green bamboo like a torrential rain, and there should be a bright and righteous atmosphere like the scorching sun.

How can such a person cheat

Huang Xian obviously didn't believe it in his heart, but Xu Shun, who fell into prison, bit the heart of An Le who had befriended An Le because of Liu Yue, and didn't say whether An Le was cheating, just gave an ambiguous attitude.

Obviously, he wanted to pull An Le into the water, and use An Le's fame or the forces behind him to slow down the punishment.

Huang Xian's originally anxious mood calmed down after seeing An Le.

He carried a knife at his waist, wore a servant's uniform, and hugged his fists and said, "Gongzi An, something happened." ”

An Le was not surprised, and chuckled: "Don't be in a hurry, Huang Zhutou said slowly, what happened"

"There is someone cheating in Chunqiu today, and now there is a lot of uproar, that person said in prison that he has an old relationship with you, Qin Xiang thinks that you are suspicious and cannot be shirked, so he ordered to arrest you for interrogation, and has ordered Dali Temple and Heiya cultivators to come on the way."

Huang Xian clenched his fists, his face was solemn, and his worry was undisguised.

Although he didn't believe that An Le would do it, this matter involved a wide range of things, and things related to fraud were not trivial.

Although An Le has not been qualitatively An Le, if An Le is really arrested and put in the Black Ya Prison, it will definitely cause gossip, especially the mouth of the literati, who can make up thousands of versions to fall into the ground.

Although An Le was surprised when he heard this, he didn't have much panic on his face, but was a little indifferent: "The clear person is self-clearing, don't worry about Huang Zhutou, you and I will talk about it in detail." ”

"What are the details of the story?"

An Le smiled, his smile was like a warm spring breeze, which made Huang Xian's heart calm down.

Huang Xian began to tell the whole story in detail.

There was already the sound of heavy footsteps in Taimiao Alley, and the majestic qi and blood were stirring, constantly approaching the courtyard.

An Le nodded slightly after listening, and was a little clearer about the specific matters of this case.

Xu Shun cheated and implicated Liu Yue, and Liu Yue befriended him, and he was also implicated, or in other words, the main purpose of those Confucian scholars on the literary and opera list was because of him.

This matter was not targeted by Qin Xiang, and An Le didn't think that Qin Xiang, as the person who coordinated the Spring Festival, would take such a big thing and deliberately target him, but after the incident, Qin Xiangfu must have contributed to it.

The courtyard soon became lively, several figures wearing the uniforms of Dali Temple appeared, with knives and shackles around their waists, and their breath was as strong as a rainbow.

The An family became famous in Lin'an Mansion, and before the Spring Festival, they defeated Wang Qinhe of Guogong Mansion on the West Lake on a rainy night.

Now that he is involved in the imperial examination fraud case, he is also involved in the turmoil between the Lin Mansion and the Qin Prime Minister's Mansion, so all parties attach great importance to it.

Dali Temple, the Criminal Division and the Black Ya, the three forces have all sent people here.

"Gongzi An, in the Lower Dali Temple, Shaoqing Cao Fu."

The leader cultivates as a cultivator who breaks through the five realms, moves towards peace and happiness, and declares his identity.

Settle down and return the favor.

On the other side, the black government and the officials of the Criminal Department all saluted.

For people with such status as An Le, the etiquette is natural and thoughtful, and it will not be as rude as it is to Xu Shun and Liu Yue.

Of course, it is also because An Le's own cultivation is not weak, and he is deeply involved with the Lin Mansion, so that he holds a small holy order, and his status is different.

"Qin Xiang is thoroughly investigating the Chunfu fraud case, these days Qin Xiang ordered someone to review the papers, three of them made an extremely remote exam question, Gu thinks that these three people are suspected of fraud, one of them is An Gongzi, so I specially invited An Gongzi to go to the Black Yafu Ya, and after it is investigated, if An Gongzi has not cheated, he will have to be innocent."

Dali Temple Shaoqing Cao Fu said solemnly.

Huang Xian on the side was nervous, what should come will come after all, once he enters the Black Yafu Mansion, as a fast arrest for the Black Ya, he knows too well how many sins he has to suffer in it.

Not to mention the entanglement between An Le and the Lin Mansion, the Qin Prime Minister's Mansion will definitely fall into the ground.

Once imprisoned, even if it is determined that there is no fraud, An Le will have to shed a layer of skin and suffer some torture.

An Le listened to Cao Fu's words, thought about it, but shook his head: "I am innocent, and I won't go to the Black Yafu." ”

As soon as these words came out, the atmosphere that was originally considered mild suddenly became tense, and Cao Fu, the young secretary of Dali Temple, frowned, and the qi and blood that surpassed the five realms on his body burst out, and the oppression like a mountain was blatantly vented.

In the face of those who resist arrest and the suspects who do not cooperate, he can use his cultivation at will.

But An Le, who has a fearless heart, is as indifferent as water in the face of such oppression and momentum, and his white clothes are flying with wide sleeves, and he is indifferent.

"Gongzi An, this official is handling a case, please don't hinder this official in handling the case."

Cao Fu said solemnly.

A knife on his waist was clanging, and there was also a majestic coercion spreading from it, melting into Cao Fu's qi and blood, making the qi and blood mountains a little more majestic.

This saber is one of the magic weapons of Dali Temple, the name of the knife is to capture the thief, it is a three-grade magic weapon, containing the power of the thief, if there is a criminal, under this knife qi machine must be depressed, the mind is cut, and the spirit is intimidated.

However, in the face of the qi of the thief knife, An Le was still indifferent.

There was even a sword qi gushing out of his body, brilliant as the sun, hanging high in the sky, shining in the world, expelling all filth and charm, the wide sleeves of the white clothes were fluttering and flying, and the sword qi was buzzing, Cao Fu's qi and blood combined with the power of the thief were actually cut to pieces

There is no way to compress the comfortable body.

Cao Fu's eyes shrank, feeling a little incredible.

What kind of power is this, Wenqu Haoran

But it's not quite like it, but it's like a sword qi, just and upright, cutting through the filthy and dark light and sword qi

The tense atmosphere made Huang Xian on the side feel his heart rise, if An Le resisted arrest, then things would really become more and more chaotic.

Facing Cao Fu's rise up and the strong arrogance machine released by the melting thief knife, An Le's palm rested on the green mountain that was different from his waist, and the sword qi rose from the sky, cutting away the injustice and oppression.

Looking at Cao Fu, he said peacefully: "Lord Cao, there is actually no need to go to this black ya, in fact, I feel that there is a place to go." ”

After saying that, An Le's waist straightened, and he walked out, passing through Cao Fu's side, passing through the black government and the officials of Dali Temple, out of the courtyard, and towards Qingbo Street.

Cao Fu took the thief knife, turned to look at the arrogant back of the young man in white, and his face softened a lot.

In fact, when the suspected power of Haoran poured out from the young man's body, and he was not afraid of the power of his sword, Cao Fu believed that the young man could not cheat.

If he cheats and his heart is darkened, how can he have such righteous power?

Cao Fu never insisted, and he was no longer obsessed with shackling the young man, so he followed the young man like this, out of the yard, out of Taimiao Lane.

Jing Street, Lin House.

The water pavilion is quiet, and the sparkling pool is full of ripples, reflecting the warm sun on a sunny day like a broken light in the lake.

In the main hall, the spring breeze is flowing through the hall, Mrs. Hua is wearing a black gauze dress, lying on the couch on her side, reading, and Xiang Xiang is standing quietly on the side, waiting silently.

Suddenly, outside the water pavilion, two figures rushed quickly.

Lin Qingyin carried the hem of her skirt and ran quickly, Lin Chasing the wind was dressed hard, don't burn the fire stick at her waist, and ran in a hurry.

The two girls had a little worry on their faces.

After entering the water pavilion and seeing Mrs. Hua, Lin Chaifeng, who was far away, shouted: "Mrs. Major, it's not good, go and save Mr. An."

Lin Qingyin's eyes were full of worry, and he looked at the graceful and luxurious figure who had already closed the book from the couch and got up: "The fraud in the imperial examination involves the teacher, and now Qin has contacted Dali Temple and Heiya, and is about to arrest the teacher."

When Mrs. Hua heard this, she raised her willow leaf-like eyebrows slightly.

In an instant, I figured out what was going on.

But her expression didn't have too much nervousness and worry, because she knew very well that An Le couldn't cheat on the spring festival at all.

With Haoran and the sword qi of the green mountains, these two are in his body, who dares to say that he cheats

It's just that when An Le Haoran melted his sword qi that day, Zhao Huangting covered his qi with a strong sword qi, so in Lin'an Mansion, most cultivators couldn't know that the young man had melted Haoran.

But Mrs. Hua knew.

Those who have won the glory are above board, and they will not do things that are cheating and cheating

Moreover, Mrs. Hua guessed that Qin Lishi probably didn't think that An Le would cheat, but he still issued an investigation order, which was to let An Le enter the Black Ya Prison, which is known as the Seven Realms monks who have to take off a layer of skin when they enter it.

This kind of young man is good friends with the Lin Mansion, and Qin Lishi naturally doesn't like it.

Mrs. Hua sighed lightly, after all, she was still involved in the turmoil because of the Lin Mansion, even if it was only on the edge of the turmoil, it was also a disaster.

"Attack the incense, prepare the car."

The quietly standing incense heard the words and bowed down.

"Whoa."

On this day, within Lin'an, the powerful moved.

A luxurious chariot drove away from the front of the Lin Mansion and headed for Qingbo Street.

Somehow, the news of the imperial examination fraud case suddenly flew all over the sky.

The court did not publicize it, but the news spread far and wide.

The Qinglou Tavern, the flower boat on the West Lake, and the box in the Linhua Pavilion are all the news of the imperial examination fraud case, and the most spread is the fraud of the Anjia family who painted ink and bamboo.

It was rumored that the Anjia family was suspected of being involved in the imperial examination fraud case, and the last few rumors spread that it became the An'an family's imperial examination fraud.

An everyone's name of ink and bamboo resounded throughout Lin'an, and with a picture of a galloping horse, the name of everyone was thoroughly implemented, and countless literati and ink writers admired it, and countless women admired it.

As a result, the An family turned out to be fraudulent in the imperial examination

It is rumored that the An family has an old relationship with the Lin Mansion, and this time the palace will be tested, and the Lin Mansion wants to compete for the second-grade magic weapon to set the storm, and the An family is expected to be high.

The An family was under great pressure, so they committed fraud, wanting to be able to take the palace test steadily.

It is said that the news came from the Confucian scholars who were favored by the stars of the literary and opera list of the Academy of Literature, which is very high.

Of course, some supporters of the An family, such as Han Shi from Cangzhou, questioned angrily, with the talent of the An family, there is no need to cheat to go to the palace to try, and the An family is a genius who is in the Academy of Literature and Asks the Heart of the Forest, and overwhelms the genius of many Confucian scholars on the literary and opera lists.

These words aroused more and more the resentment of the Confucian students on the Wenqu list, and some people said, if An Le had not cheated, why did he attract Haoran but not Haoran in front of the Wenqu Monument that day

The two sides argued on the basis of reason, and all of a sudden the fraud in the imperial examination of the An'an family was boiled and spread all over the streets and alleys of Lin'an Mansion.

Qin Xiangfu, among the idle pavilions.

Qin Qianqiu listened to the many news that was flying in the market under his hands, and a chuckle hung on the corner of his lips.

As he said at the beginning, there are many ways to become a literati who attaches great importance to honor.

The truth is sometimes not important to many people, they only believe what they hear.

The gossip is as fierce as a tiger, and under this move, even if An Le has not cheated, he will be ruined.

Qingbo Street, Taimiao Lane.

An Le sat in white clothes, with a spring breeze running through his sleeves, and stepped on the long street, which was full of officers and soldiers of Dali Temple and Heiya, and had already provoked pedestrians on the street to retreat to both sides of the roadside, watching from afar, and not daring to approach.

In the Taimiao, Zhao Huangting was dressed in plain clothes, carrying his hands on his back, standing quietly in front of the vermilion carved wooden window, looking at the situation on the street, seeing An Le's big sleeves fluttering out, followed by Cao Fu and other officers and soldiers, his eyes couldn't help but be a little deeper, and his eyes showed a touch of fierceness.

An Le wore two swords on his waist, and his handsome and bewitching face scanned the long street, and it could be seen that many onlookers were all surprised.

Most of the onlookers are inkers, and most of them are good deeds, gossip and chatter.

With a calm mind, it is easy to listen and capture.

Confucian on the music list.

These Confucian scholars had cold faces, and there was a sense of excitement in their eyes, obviously wanting to see An Le being taken away by Dali Temple and Heiya, and watching the jokes.

An Le's waist was straight, his body was turbulent, his face did not change, he glanced at these Confucian scholars on the literary and opera list, his eyebrows were cold, and he shook his head gently, feeling very boring.

It's no wonder that Wu Kui Dizang of the Martial Temple looks down on the Academy of Literature so much, the Academy of Literature is all such things, and what is worth looking at

"The mediocre people are disturbed, the villains are miserable, and their hearts are pretending to be calculations and strife all day long, how can they make great strides in cultivation and learning"

"Wait and see."

An Le said lightly, and he didn't know who he was talking to.

But those crowds of Confucian scholars, but their faces changed slightly, and they heard the words of peace and happiness, which was said to them.

Philistine

The Confucian students were angry, and almost subconsciously and automatically substituted their identities, after all, they did report An Le.

Cao Fu grabbed the thief knife at his waist, walked to An Le's side, and said politely: "Gongzi An, where are you going?"

Cao Fu, who originally wanted to capture An Le and go to the Black Ya, changed his mind and wanted to see what An Le was going to do.

The young man has a heart full of energy, not like a person who will bow his head easily.

Perhaps, I want to prove that I haven't cheated.

But Cao Fu is very curious, how to prove such a thing, after all, such things are disturbed, like dirty water splashing on the body, it is easy to explain clearly, if it is thoroughly investigated, it will not be possible to clear the twists and turns in a few months.

A smile hung on the corner of An Le's lips, and a gust of spring breeze blew, stirring his hair lightly.

"Go to the Prime Minister's Mansion."

Ann Ledao.

Cao Fu was stunned, and then his face changed slightly.

As the Shaoqing of Dali Temple, he knows the contradiction between the Lin Mansion and the Qin Prime Minister, and the reason why An Le was named a fraud is that in addition to being friendly with Liu Yue by chance, a large part of the reason is because of the relationship between the Lin Mansion.

But what Anle is going to Qin Xiangfu to do

But listening to An Le said again: "Can you please prepare something for Lord Cao?"

Cao Fu frowned, he was going to the Qin Mansion again, and he was preparing things, could it be that he was going to find Qin Xiang to make amends and beg for forgiveness

If this is the case, then it can really be blind to this pure sword qi.

"What does Childe need?" said Cao Fu.

"Pen, ink, paper, inkstone, plus long table and chair."

An Le chuckled.

Cao Fu was stunned again, and suddenly remembered that An Le had a reputation for painting, and it was difficult to win Qin Xiang's forgiveness with painting

"Painting" Cao Fu was suspicious.

"It's not about painting, An's painting is only for people who are worthy."

An Le chuckled and shook his head.

When Cao Fu heard this, he couldn't help but take a deep look at the young man, he only painted for worthy people, and the secret meaning was obvious, Qin Xiang was not worthy.

Don't look at the young man as plump as jade, smile like warm sunshine, but the pride is really upright.

"Okay, I'll have it ready."

Cao Fu suddenly became interested and wanted to see what An Le wanted to do.

The two walked side by side on the long street, Cao Fu wore an official uniform, hung a thief knife on his waist, and had a noble and official spirit, and the young man on the side wore a bamboo sword and an ink sword on his waist, and the white clothes had wide sleeves.

The officers and soldiers of Dali Temple and Heiya followed behind the two, and Huang Xian also followed worriedly.

On both sides of the road, the people who watched the excitement also followed, and the Confucian scholars on the Wenqu list treated each other coldly, they felt that they had found evidence of Anle fraud, otherwise they were happy in front of the Wenqu Monument, leading to Haoran, but why did they not get Haoran to add themselves

Han Shi, a frontier soldier from Cangzhou, was also crowded in the crowd, and he was still arguing with Confucianism, spitting and arguing, maintaining peace and happiness.

However, An Le went to Yanchunli first, and in front of everyone, he bought a pot of old rice wine, and then went forward again.

Before the group approached Jingjie, a luxurious chariot drove up, and the curtain was lifted.

Lin Qingyin and Lin Chaifeng suddenly got out of the car and looked at An Le who was carrying the old rice wine worriedly.

"Sir."

Lin Qingyin apprenticed to Anle, and now he is sincerely worried.

Cao Fu on his side was tense, holding the thief knife tightly in his palm, staring at the chariot with a solemn face.

Because in the chariot, there is a breath and power that makes his heart palpitate.

Lin Fu flower de-ice

"You need me to help you," Madame Flower's soft voice floated out from inside the carriage.

Cao Fu swallowed his saliva, and the knife clenched three more points.

If Mrs. Hua wanted to forcibly take An Le away, he really might not be able to stop him.

saw An Le shook his head: "Xiaosheng can prove his innocence, and Mrs. Hua can look at it." ”

In the chariot, Mrs. Hua couldn't help but be curious in her heart, this kind of splashing dirty water is the most annoying, and An Le also happened to be caught with the opportunity, and Liu Yue and Xu Shun were involved, otherwise it was really impossible for dirty water to splash on her body for no reason.

The group continued to move forward and entered Jingjie, and many people were discouraged and could not move further.

However, practitioners such as Confucian scholars and Han Shi on the literary and opera list, as well as some literati and writers, all followed.

Qin Xiangfu, in front of the gate.

An Le sat in white with a sword, like stepping on a spring breeze.

There were already people arranged by Cao Fu on the side, carrying tables and chairs, holding the four treasures of the study.

An Le asked people to directly put the table in front of Qin Xiang's mansion, and spread the four treasures of the study on the table.

Sitting upright in a chair, An Le was facing the gate of Qin Xiangfu, and the next moment his heart surged, and he vibrated and made a sound.

"People live for a lifetime, just seek innocence, ask for a breath of spirit in their hearts, hear Qin Xiangyan An a certain spring fraud, my heart is not smooth, Qin Xiangguan to the prime minister, high power, a word like a mountain rolling, young people are not talented, can only poetry and articles for the sword, cut this mountain, cut off countless villains like jackals, and have to be clear and clear." Text

An Le's words fell, and in the Qin Prime Minister's Mansion, there was one strong aura after another, as if a majestic primordial spirit swept over.

At the same time, Mrs. Hua in the chariot was moved, and in the crowd, the old man of Taimiao, who was watching the excitement, also sneered, and his sword qi rose into the air with his fingers

Many qi engines were suppressed in an instant.

An Le smiled faintly and beckoned to the crowd of Confucian students.

The three Confucian scholars looked confused, and they were quite resistant.

"Come"

An Le's heart surged, and between drinks, the three of them had inexplicable palpitations, hesitated, and still walked over.

Sitting on the chair leisurely, An Le looked at them and said lightly: "I read, you write." ”

"I copied all these poems, I only read them once, don't write slowly, don't shake your hands."

Seeing An Le being so arrogant, the three Confucian scholars couldn't help but sneer, and a little bit of competition surged in their hearts.

The three of them stood at the table, holding their pen.

An Le raised the corners of his lips, lifted the old rice wine, took a sip of wine, the wine flew out, and began to chant.

"Thousands of hammers are chiseled out of the deep mountains, if the fire is burned, if you are idle, you are not afraid of broken bones, and you must leave your innocence in the world."

A lime chant begins

As soon as the poem was completed, An Le paused for a moment and started the next poem again.

"You don't see the water of the Yellow River coming up from the sky, rushing to the sea and not coming back, I will be useful, and my daughter will come back when I am gone."

"The great river goes east, the waves are exhausted, and the romantic characters of the ages"

One, two, three

Ten, twenty, thirty

Regardless of allusions or imagery, it is just such a casual recitation, and the clear memories attracted by the ancient wizards are like surging water.

An Le drank and laughed, his heart breathed out of his breath, and between the poems, he was as brilliant as the sun, shining on the world's evil and evil sword qi, rising up

This time, the shelter of the old man of Wutai Temple was like a white python entrenched behind him, rushing into the sky and shattering the green clouds

Haoran's sword qi shook, and the Qu Monument of the Academy of Literature also began to shake, echoing with the distance

When a poem is completed, there is a wisp of heroic air in the melody tablet that spreads

In the literary academy, the eldest master Zhu Huoxi, the second master Pang Ji, and the third master Wang Banshan, all three of them opened their eyes at the same time.

In an instant, it disappeared without a trace, passed through the Inquiry Heart Forest, and appeared in front of the Lu Pavilion in the depths of the Academy.

Seeing the Wenqu monument, the starlight is brilliant in the daytime, and there is a vast overflow

In the end, a lot of Haoran Qi gathered together, like a surging river across the sky, heading towards the direction of the Qin Prime Minister's Mansion, and finally intertwined and hovered around the Haoran Sword Qi that poured into the sky.

The third master, Wang Banshan, couldn't help but pull off a strand of his beard.

"Haoran, play like this"

The eldest master and the second master are both silent.

Such a literary style has attracted a lot of Haoran

Who would dare to say that Aneu cheats

The three masters of their literary academy did not agree.

Otherwise, the Academy of Letters has no face.

In front of the Qin Prime Minister's Mansion.

Behind An Le, the sword aura was like a white python soaring into the air, entrenched all around, and the glorious sun-like aura made countless people feel clear in their hearts, and they didn't dare to have the slightest sneaky intention.

The three Confucian scholars who copied the poems were already sweating profusely, their hands holding the pen were trembling, and many of the handwriting was blurred.

You copied these poems

Who believes

This kind of literary brilliance, such a talent, a Confucian scholar can't hold the pen, the pen falls on the rice paper, and the big ink is dyed.

And An Le still drank and laughed.

With one foot up, stepping on the chair, picking up the wine jug in one hand, pinning the two swords at his waist, and looking at the Qin Prime Minister's Mansion.

"Come Again"

"Next Song"

ps: Big chapter, ask for a monthly pass, the new book monthly ticket list can't climb up to ask for monthly ticket support Wow, ask for recommendation ticket support

"Brother Shen"

"Hmm"

Shen Changqing walked on the road, and when he met someone he knew well, he would say hello to each other or nod his head.

But it doesn't matter who it is.

There was no superfluous expression on everyone's face, as if they were very indifferent to everything.

on this.

Shen Changqing is used to it.

Because this is the Demon Suppression Division, it is an institution that maintains the stability of Great Qin, and its main responsibility is to kill demons and monsters, and of course there are some other side jobs.

Arguably.

In the Demon Suppression Division, everyone has a lot of blood on their hands.

When a person is accustomed to seeing life and death, then he will become indifferent to many things.

When he first came to this world, Shen Changqing was a little uncomfortable, but over time he got used to it.

The Demon Suppression Division is huge.

The people who can stay in the Demon Suppression Division are all powerful masters, or people who have the potential to become masters.

Shen Changqing belongs to the latter.

Among them, the Demon Suppression Division is divided into two professions, one is the town guard and the other is the demon exterminator.

Anyone who enters the Demon Suppression Division starts with the lowest level of demon slayer.

Then step by step, he is expected to become a town guard.

Shen Changqing's predecessor was a trainee demon slayer in the Demon Suppression Division, and he was also the lowest level of the demon slayer envoys.

Have memories of the predecessor.

He is also very familiar with the environment of the Demon Suppression Division.

It didn't take long for Shen Changqing to stop in front of an attic.

Unlike other places full of slaughter, the attic here seems to stand out from the crowd, and in the bloody Demon Suppression Division, it presents a different tranquility.

At this time, the attic door is open, and there are occasional people entering and exiting.

Shen Changqing only hesitated for a moment, and then stepped in.

Access to the attic.

The environment has changed in vain.

A burst of ink fragrance mixed with the faint smell of blood came to his face, making his brow furrow instinctively, but quickly stretched.

The smell of blood on everyone's body in the Demon Suppression Division is almost impossible to clean.
