After breakfast, the three of them cleaned up and continued on their way.

Although Wei Yang's hands and feet were sore, he still had a firm face and wanted to continue to persevere.

Lu An felt very relieved, and then added another piece of cold sand iron.

Wei Yang's face turned green.

Li Li smiled without saying a word, sat on the horse with his head shaken, and looked at a book very leisurely.

The three of them walked along the road for a short time and entered a forest.

As soon as he entered the forest, Lu An felt a trace of strangeness, and he couldn't stop sneering on his face.

Li Li put down the book and asked puzzledly, "What's wrong with Childe?"

"Sir, why do you think there are so many thieves in the world?" Lu An suddenly asked with a smile.

Li Li's face suddenly changed, and he asked puzzledly: "What does Childe mean by this......?"

Lu An interrupted: "I just thought of this question. ”

"Childe, your question is a little difficult for me to answer, if you ask me the truth in the book, I can solve all the doubts, this is a bit difficult. Li Li said apologetically.

Lu An looked incredulous, "Why is Mr. so modest today?"

"It's not because I was a good teacher before, but I was ridiculed again, and now I dare to open my mouth casually to point out the country. Wei Yang covered his mouth and snickered.

"Childe, I think it's better to add another piece of cold sand iron, I didn't hear that he was tired. Li Li suggested.

These words directly frightened Wei Yang and quickly shut up.

"Sir, let's discuss the question I just asked. Lu An asked.

Li Li nodded and replied: "Since Gongzi has this interest, then I will talk about it casually, it can't be true, this bandit rampant can only show that it is the fault of the courtier, and it is not ruthless enough." ”

"It's that simple?" Lu An wondered.

Li Li nodded, "Starting from Wu County, we have walked through half of the Han Dynasty, and along the way, our master and apprentice have encountered more than a dozen times, but fortunately, it is fate, look at the two of us, one old and one young, ragged, and only let us leave after searching the side, but do you know the son?" The bandits we met were all young and strong men, obviously in good health, but they lived poorer than us, dressed in tatters more tatters than us, and did not support their families, but they all wanted to be the rumored green forest heroes who drank and ate meat. ”

This sentence immediately made Lu An interested, once on the way back to Chaxian from Saibei, he also encountered several groups of bandits, but it didn't seem to be as miserable as Li Li said, "How could it be? This Han Dynasty is the richest dynasty among the three major dynasties in the north, how can it be so unbearable?"

Li Li smiled bitterly, "Childe, if you don't go for a walk by yourself, you don't know that this so-called world is cold, just like the same in that country-style city, there are many people begging along the streets, there are many people who are unclothed, stealing chickens and touching dogs, and there are countless people who fall into the grass." ”

"Childe, what the master said is true, this way, the first half of us are rich, we can eat and drink, the second half of us are really robbed all the way, I think it's a miracle to be able to get to this national wind city, so after meeting a good person like Childe, it seems to see hope. Wei Yang replied with a frown.

Lu An was also quite surprised by this, "Is it really so difficult?"

Li Li smiled bitterly, "It's much more difficult than Childe thought, so I said before that Childe is the kind of immortal who doesn't eat fireworks in the world." ”

When Lu An heard this, he fell silent for a moment.

"The north is so big, many people can only nest in a small place all their lives, and if they want to leave, there are all kinds of reasons that they can't move, they can't be lazy to move, it's nothing more than no way to go out, how can it be simple to steal chickens and dogs. Li Li sighed again.

"Isn't there a way to change it?" asked Lu An puzzled.

"Change? How can this be changed, which is inertia that goes deep into the bone marrow?" Li Li replied directly.

"Then the courtiers didn't want to change this situation?" Lu An frowned.

"There is no way to change the current situation. Li Li suddenly became louder.

"Why?" Lu An was puzzled.

"As the saying goes, self-cultivation and Qi family rule the country and level the world, this kind of thinking has been deeply rooted in the people of the north, but who is this talking about? And who are those bandits? They have never read a book, for them, no benevolence, no courtesy, no matter a piece of meat in their hands, it is almost impossible for the scholars of Xiuqi Zhiping to change them, and the current decree has no way to restrain them. Li Li said in disgust.

"Is that why there are so many people who read books? I'd rather skip a meal than buy a book. Lu An asked rhetorically.

"If this world can become a cultivator like Gongzi, there may be only one in tens of thousands, and where does this person come from? They all come from those upper class people, like this gang of thieves, that is, the people who belong to the lowest group, they think all day long about how to live, how to rob, how to eat, how to wear, who will think about studying and cultivating? Originally, they are people from two worlds, and cultivators are immortals who are high above ordinary people. Li Li said.

Lu An could only nod silently, but still retorted, "Is Mr. too pessimistic?"

Li Li also didn't refute, nodded, and replied: "Sort of, no matter how chaotic the world is, no matter how many disputes there are, it can only be said that this world is actually still the world of ordinary people." ”

When Lu An heard this, he felt that it made sense, and the whole person instantly fell into deep thought, and replied: "After listening to what Mr. said, I immediately felt that I had benefited a lot,"

Li Li shook his head, "I've eaten for a few more years, watched a few more scenes, read a few more years, and that's it." ”

"According to the gentleman's meaning, the bandits are also a group of poor people, who eat and die all day long. Lu An concluded.

Li Li immediately raised his eyebrows and retorted: "This kind of person deserves to be killed the most, and he must be killed fiercely." ”

Lu An was deeply surprised and looked puzzled.

"Don't blame the son, the master is like this, jealous and hateful, reading the books of the sages hard, but he wants to be an executioner. Wei Yang laughed on the side.

Li Li glared at Wei Yang, and replied lightly to Lu An: "In today's bitter world, the only way to deal with it is to suffer, otherwise this world will inevitably only be more chaotic, everyone in the world knows the good and evil, the good and the bad, but I don't know how to abide by the avenue, then the most important thing to do when the courtier is actually this, bandits are rampant, then forcibly suppressed, killed, who else dares to be a bandit, the north is so big, is there only the road of falling grass for the sake of the coward, stealing chickens and touching dogs? ”

Li Li's statement is really completely different from the truth that Lu An saw in the book, "Is Mr. talking about countering violence with violence? But the truth in this book..."

"No, it's not about countering violence with violence, it's about fighting violence with force, the book of sages is also written by people, and saints are also people, this is the essence of their lives, I can only say that it has its own reason, so I'm just talking, after all, ideas and reality are two different things, it's good that Gongzi has heard it, don't take it seriously. Li Li said apologetically.

"Master has always been like this, he himself has been questioning the good and bad in the book, but he still asks me to read the book every day and endorse it, alas, I don't understand. Wei Yang sighed bitterly.

"At a young age, you know what is good and evil, and when you reach your age, you are naturally qualified to question the quality of what you have learned, rather than questioning the good or bad of the truth in this book in the process of learning, these are two different things, you have learned to apply, you have not even succeeded in learning, how can you judge the quality of this use?" Li Li scolded Wei Yang directly.

Wei Yang glanced at his lips and said nothing.

Lu An felt very reasonable when he heard this, nodded his head, and said, "I think what Mr. said is very reasonable, and I want to evaluate its quality or badness, provided that you understand such a thing, you haven't understood this thing thoroughly, and you are really not qualified to evaluate its rights and wrongs." ”

Wei Yang had a bitter face, "Alas, even the son thinks that what the master said makes sense, it seems that this book has to be memorized, take pity on my immature little hands, and may suffer again." ”

The two of them were immediately amused by Wei Yang's expression.

"Childe, you don't have to take this too seriously today, it's good to hear it, if you really wear it out, you will be treated as an alien, which is very disrespectful. Li Li instructed again.

Lu An nodded, too, what Li Li said just now is indeed completely different from what he came into contact with in the book, especially the last two sentences, which were really like a bolt from the blue, completely subverting what Lu An had seen and known before.

Li Li's status in Lu Anxin couldn't help but rise a lot.

The three of them talked about it for so long, the little white wolf was itching to hear it, he couldn't understand a word, his eyes rolled wildly, he jumped directly from Lu An, and then went into the forest.

Wei Yang was shocked: "Childe, the little white wolf ran away from home. ”

Lu An glanced at it, ignored the little white wolf, and said to Wei Yang: "Leave it alone, maybe you can go to diarrhea." ”

Wei Yang nodded, still looking worriedly at the direction in which the little white wolf had left.

"Yang'er, don't worry about it, if you lose it, you can't lose it. Li Li also said.

When Wei Yang heard both of them say this, he could only nod and continue to follow the two of them.

The three of them have been walking in this forest for a while, and before they know it, they have entered a dense forest, surrounded by towering trees, which require two or three adult strong men to hold, and this tree looks very ancient.

"Childe, have you made a mistake this way?" Li Li asked uneasily, looking around him.

Lu An replied lightly: "Don't worry, sir, there is also such a forest on the map, if you want to get to Qufu City, you must pass through this forest, and there is a road here, which shows that we are not wrong, although there are other forks in the road before, but it will take a lot of time to go around." ”

Li Li nodded slightly.

"It's a little scary to look like here, could there be some strange things happening, like some spirits. Wei Yang swallowed a mouthful of saliva and said scaredly.

"Spirits, how can people who practice martial arts be afraid of these things?" Lu An smiled secretly.

Hearing this, Wei Yang suddenly raised his chest, held his head high, his eyes became fierce, and he strode forward.

But as soon as he walked a few steps, a strange voice came from near the forest, which frightened Wei Yang and immediately shrank behind Lu An, and said in fear: "Childe, there is a voice there." ”

Lu An chuckled and comforted, "What are you afraid of, it's just some dirty things." ”

"Ahh

"Sir, now I want to ask you another question, if we encounter those bandits and heroes in the green forest at this time, do I kill or not?" asked Lu An seriously.

When Li Li heard this, his whole person chuckled, frowned, his face was full of hesitation, and he didn't dare to open his mouth casually, but asked tentatively, "Did you really meet it?"

Lu An nodded, "There are about ten people." ”

Li Li was suddenly shocked, "In other words, ten lives." ”

Lu An nodded, "Sir, I have said so much before, and I have roughly understood what this gentleman said. ”

Li Li was stunned for a moment, his face turned a little pale, and he opened his mouth, but he still didn't dare to speak, his eyes were full of unbearability, and he hesitated: "Do you really want to be like this?"

Lu An was very puzzled by Li Li's answer, "What Mr. said before, I think it makes sense, why are you hesitating at this moment?"

Li Li sighed and said, "Because... This burden is really... It's too heavy. ”

Lu An was still puzzled by this, "It's too heavy, Mr. just affirm, I will handle the matter properly after that, why do you say that?"

After Wei Yang stopped the conversation between the two, he figured out the reason for this, and said eagerly: "Childe!

When Li Li heard this, the whole person was shocked, looked at Wei Yang in disbelief, and scolded angrily: "Shut up!"

Both of them were taken aback, and they were very strange about Li Li's reaction, and they were confused.

"Master?" Wei Yang asked in surprise.

"Sir, what's wrong with you?" Lu An also asked tentatively.

Li Li looked around, pointed to the trees and said, "I really can't do it, because they are also living people, and I can't deprive them of their qualifications to live because of my words." ”

"But those people are all bandits, and they don't know how many people they have killed, Master, you are a woman's kindness!" Wei Yang retorted directly.

Li Li nodded and replied dejectedly: "I know this, but let me bear these ten lives, I don't think I can afford it." ”

Lu An raised his eyebrows, "Sir, in the past, when I encountered this kind of thing, it was also killing, so I am still in charge of this matter." ”

As soon as the words fell, Wei Yang said in a low tone, full of anger: "Childe, what they do is destined to die! What the master wants to do, he can't afford it, I'll do it." ”

Lu An glanced at Li Li, who bowed his head and acquiesced.

Touched Wei Yang's head. "You're still young. ”
