Chapter 272: The Iron Hand

Time flies.

In the blink of an eye, five months have passed.

The war in Bingzhou is still in full swing, although the Seven Xuanzong has never reached a unified opinion, and Elder Taishang has never come forward, but due to the relationship of interests, he still passively participates in the local war in Bingzhou.

The so-called interests are moving, and in the troubled times, it is difficult to make the deep-rooted big forces take action, but it is just a slogan, but in the ice state war, many resources and interests that are gradually revealed have attracted the Seven Xuanzong to make a move, and therefore gradually fought with the heavenly demons, the heavenly corpses and even the alien races.

Furthermore.

As far as Chen Mu knows, although the major sects and states of Hanbei Dao are in a wait-and-see state of Bingzhou, they actually have people who are active in Bingzhou, waiting for opportunities to plunder resources, which can be described as a mess of porridge, just like Beizhou and Hanzhou at the beginning.

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

But seeing Chen Yue holding a sword in his hand, the sword light was flying, constantly attacking Chen Mu, each sword was wrapped in a sharp sound of breaking through the air, and the force was very violent, and he had already entered the level of the Bone Forging Realm, comparable to some excellent Seven Xuan Sect Inner Sects.

Bite!

Chen Mu referred to the sword, constantly bending and connecting the points, breaking Chen Yue's sword moves one by one, the whole person stood in place and never moved, and at the same time pointed out in his mouth: "For the tenacity of the mountain, when it is done, it will be done, and when it is stopped, if it is not moving." ”

"The words in these books are a bit mysterious, but in fact they also point to the essence, the mountain should advance when it advances, and when it retreats, it is not that you will always be hard with your opponent, but do not hesitate between shots, and do not turn around."

While.

Chen Mu pointed out again, and swept the sword in Chen Yue's hand away, and the force reached her wrist and arm through the blade, making her whole person stagger back a few steps, her forehead was covered with fine beads of sweat, and the whole person was also slightly gasping.

"Okay, that's it, you comprehend it very quickly, and now you can basically use swordsmanship to exert the strength and strength of Bone Forging Xiaocheng, when you can comprehend the artistic conception of Gen Mountain, you can be called a master in the Bone Forging Realm, and you can be compared with many top-ranked inner disciples in the Inner Gate of the Seven Xuanzong Sect."

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

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

Chen Mu shook his head and smiled, and said, "What do you say, thank you, you go and meditate for a while and understand it well." ”

"Hmm."

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 reminisced.

After Chen Mu saw Chen Yue's movements, he also turned around and walked out, and soon returned to his courtyard, came to the bedroom, and took out a stack of books from the box, but when he looked closely, it was an intelligence message composed of different papers.

As the protector of the Seven Xuanzong, although he does not hold an official position in the state capital now, he can also go in and out of the state government supervision department and other places at will, and it is not difficult to check some information from all over Yuzhou.

After Chen Mu groaned slightly, he looked from the first page.

'Iron Hand'

Control of dozens of large and small boat gangs in the Wusha River Basin, control of Wusha's output and interests, is also related to many bandits and robbing incidents, acting brutally, in order to make the boat gang obey orders, has slaughtered a group of boat people more than 100 people, hanging their heads on the coast, frightening all parties, since then there is no dissatisfaction, the state government has suppressed it several times, all of them have not been found, and the whereabouts of the looted silver money are unknown every year.

'Green Rock Villa'

In charge of the mining of a large jade spirit mine in the Cuiyan Mountains, he offers a large amount of silver to the Fang family of the state capital every year, and has a huge influence and is rampant in the local area, oppressing the county government to obey his orders.

……

That's right.

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

These forces that have existed in Yuzhou for a long time, run rampant in various places, and act with ruthlessness and outrageous behavior, are basically more or less implicated in the Seven Xuanzong who rule Yuzhou, or rely on giving money to the six major families in the state capital, such as the 'Fang family', in order to obtain a certain degree of protection, or simply the external forces cultivated by one of them.

It wasn't that he was jealous and hateful enough to clean up the filth, but that he was going to pick some 'lucky ones' at random because he was short of money.

It's been five months.

The various resources he had sorted out and harvested before had basically been consumed, and he had replaced them with warm cultivation spiritual objects in the Seven Xuanzong Sect to boost his cultivation in the Six Organs Realm, and now the other resources left at hand were all useful to him, and they were not suitable for use for the time being.

【Six Intestine Sutra (72%)】

[Experience: 0 points]

After five months of hard work, his six internal organs tempering level has reached 72%!

As he expected, after crossing the 60% limit, the refining of the six intestines was like the previous cultivation of easy muscles and forging bones, and the demand for further refining became higher, and after the warm cultivation spiritual objects exchanged for the Seven Xuanzong were consumed, the refining progress of the six intestines finally stopped at 72%.

This is still in order for him to have a solid foundation and not hurt the six internal organs themselves, and to digest and nourish the spiritual objects at intervals by more gentle means, otherwise the efficiency can be higher.

Of course.

In fact, this efficiency is already amazing!

From Chen Mu stepping into the Six Intestines Realm, it only took seven or eight months now!

You must know that many martial artists in the Six Intestines Realm, after cultivating for five or six years, may only be at about seventy or eighty percent of the tempering level, and this level even has the initial qualifications to impact the entrance and try to enter the Sect Master Realm of Cleansing the Pulp!

It's just that for Chen Mu, of course he won't stop there, not to mention that he can break through now that he has a chance to break through, even if he has the opportunity to break through, he won't try it now, after all, the extreme refining of the Six Organs Realm, which is unattainable for ordinary people, can be easily achieved by him as long as he has enough resources.

"This kind of top-down government is corrupt, no wonder Yan Jingqing can't deal with it."

Chen Mu looked through the information and sighed in his heart for a while.

The vicious forces with no background have basically been eradicated a long time ago, not the government, even if many disciples of the Seven Xuanzong go down the mountain to practice, they may go to attack those forces, but like these big forces that have been entrenched in various parts of Yuzhou for many years, there are more or less shadows of the six major families in Yuzhou and even some other high-level forces of the Seven Xuanzong behind them.

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

He may be able to defeat one Iron Hand Regiment, but he can't destroy ten Iron Hand Regiments, once he provokes the anger of the public, and provokes the entire Yuzhou forces to be dissatisfied with him, even if he is a master of the Billboard, he can't stand it, even if he is not afraid of these, he has to think about the Yan family, so he can't be unscrupulous.

In fact, grandmasters like Feng Hongsheng and Qin Mengjun, they can all have their own martial arts will and pride when they can become grandmasters, and it is unlikely that they will be directly involved in the protection of this evil force, but they can't stand the clans behind them.

Because of their existence, there are Feng family and Qin family.

And because of the existence of the Feng family and the Qin family, there are lower-level first-level officials, and even the chaotic gangs at the bottom, this layer-by-layer structure is an unbreakable chain, even if a certain grandmaster wants to solve it, he can't do it on his own.

Maybe some of the Xuanji Pavilion's ideas are right, if they want to calm the troubled times, they can only overturn everything and start over, including the rotten Seven Xuanzong, and in this process, they will not hesitate to use all means.

But.

Chen Mu agreed with some of the views of the Xuanji Pavilion, but he would not support the actions of the Xuanji Pavilion, because if the world finally needs to be overturned, then the person who stretched out that hand would ...... It will only be him.

Of course, it is still too long-term to think about these now, and Chen Mu's concept has never been to calm the troubled times, but to have no scruples, so turning over the information of these various forces, Chen Mu has no interest in trying to change the pattern.

All he wants is resources.

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

As for these forces, which one is involved behind them, and which Seven Xuanzong elders are involved, he doesn't care, his purpose is always very clear, before his strength is not strong enough, everything he does is to improve his strength.

"Now that I'm on the list, except for the top three, I shouldn't have any opponents, but I don't know if I can resist one or two moves against a grandmaster like Fu Jingyuan, maybe there is still a gap."

Chen Mu shook his head slightly.

After five months, he has not only refined his six internal organs to the level of 72%, but also taken a small step up together with the artistic conception of Qiankun, completed the fifth deduction, and is getting closer and closer to the limit of the second step.

In addition, the skill of falling flowers without a trace has also been practiced to the second layer, and it is displayed with the artistic conception of Qiankun and the wheel seal of heaven and earth, which is getting closer and closer to the martial arts field, and the degree of condensation of strength has also been further improved.

Now, with 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 Yuan Gang's true strength is also comparable, and the total is about seventy parts!

In terms of quantity, he is actually not much different from a third-rank grandmaster like Fu Jingyuan.

It's just that the other party is integrated inside and outside, and the martial arts body is perfect, plus the martial arts realm, is far stronger than him in terms of the degree of condensation of strength, not a level, so he can only escape when he encounters such an existence, and he can't compete.

But the improvement of strength is real, and it is always much more confident.

Maybe.

When the strength of his artistic conception is improved a little more, and the six intestines are tempered to close to the limit, he will be able to form a 'quantity' gap, and when the time comes, he will be able to overwhelm people with his quantity, even if he has no domain and martial arts, he may not be able to defeat these third-level grandmasters!

"So, let's start with this Iron Hand Regiment."

Chen Mu looked at the intelligence information on the paper with a light gaze.

The information of the Iron Hand Regiment is the most vague, and he doesn't even know which one of them is standing behind him, but this is better for him, even if he attracts the grandmaster of the Seven Xuanzong after the fight, he can shirk ignorance, and he can't do anything with him.

What's more, with his current methods, although he rarely carries out assassinations again, if he really learns the method of the Blood Hidden Building, it will not be easy to distinguish who did it.

Put the intel away.

Chen Mu quietly opened a box placed under the bed, took out a set of suits from the bottom of the box, and went out silently after changing.

……

The place where the Iron Hand Regiment haunts is the area of 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, and this river also happens to be the junction of Yujun and Linjun, separating Yujun and Linjun.

Along this river to the north, there are Bi County and Lang County, and to the south is the most remote Yu County.

"This is Wujiang, and it really lives up to its name."

After Chen Mu quietly left the state capital, he went all the way to the east, and at his current speed, he arrived at the edge of Yujun in less than half a day, and came to the bank of the Wujiang River.

At this time, he stood on the bank of the river with his hands in his hands, watching the rolling river coming from the end of his sight, its water was turbid, dark brown and black, it was a scene of a kind of black sand wrapped in the ground, but it was different from other rivers he had seen in the past.

Usha.

A kind of high-quality sand, the wall cast from it is as strong as iron, such as the city wall of the state capital is a large number of Wusha, and many private forts built by many forces also use this material.

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

"The guest officer wants to cross the river?"

The old man held the boat, and when he saw Chen Mu on the shore from a distance, he took the initiative to lean over and asked Chen Mu.

"Okay."

Chen Mu glanced at the old man, walked closer to the river bank with an indifferent expression, and then boarded the boat in one step.

When the old man saw Chen Mu fall on the boat, he didn't sit down, just stood there, so he reminded with a smile: "Guest officer, you can sit down, although this is the gentlest part of the river, the river is still turbulent, and it is terrible for the Water Dragon King to turn over." ”

"Guest, you sit here."

The little girl sitting in the boat whispered.

Chen Mu listened to the old man's reminder, and wanted to say that he didn't have to, but when he saw the little girl get out of the way, he shook his head slightly and sat down next to him.

Seeing this, the old man propped up the boat 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 little yellow and thin, and she didn't have enough food, so she asked: "I heard that in this area of the Wusha River, the river eats the river, although there are almost no fish in the river water, but sifting Wusha can be exchanged for a lot of silver. ”

The old man listened to Chen Mu's words while holding the boat, and couldn't help but shake his head and smile bitterly, and said: "The guest officer seems to be a foreigner, this Wusha is indeed valuable, and in the early years, one person could support a family, but since eleven years ago, the price of this Wusha has been lowered year after year, not to mention, to do this job, you have to give the boat gang the 'boat protection money', the child and his father and mother suffered a flood a few years ago, and the old man and I work alone, but even the 'boat protection money' can't be paid." ”

Eleven years ago.

It was the time when the Iron Hand Regiment gradually began to control the boat gang along the Wujiang River.

Chen Mu's thoughts flashed in his heart, and at the same time he shook his head slightly, this situation is indeed no different from the state capital, the work done by people is enough for food and clothing, but after layers of exploitation, it has become a hard life.

"How about selling Usha directly to other places?"

Chen Mu asked again.

After hearing this, the old man shook his head again and again and said: "These ten miles and eight towns are the territory of the Zhangjiachuan Gang, where can they be sold, not to mention that they dare to bypass them to sell Wusha outside, and they are caught...... If you want to do this work, you must eliminate the thought, last month, there were a group of people from other places who bought Wusha and took sand directly from our village, but they were found by the boat gang, and a large number of heads were hung on the ferry the next day. ”

Speaking of this, the old man couldn't help but shudder, and there was a hint of fear in his eyes.

When Chen Mu heard this, he set his eyes on the rolling turbid river, his eyes were calm, and it was clear that the soles of his feet were valuable Wusha, which was inexhaustible, but he couldn't use it to feed a family, the government was corrupt, and the officials and bandits colluded, nothing more than this.

This situation can not be solved by destroying the Boat Gang and the Iron Hand Group, the Boat Gang itself is composed of villagers, and there is another group after destroying one group, and the Iron Hand Group is the same, but he is not here to save the suffering, just to borrow some resources from the Iron Hand Group, if by the way, the life of Li Shu along the Wujiang River can be improved for a while, it is also in line with a clear conscience.
