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

Although Wei Yang's hands and feet were sore, his face was firm and he wanted to continue to persevere.

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

Wei Yang's face turned green.

Li Li smiled without saying a word, shook his head and sat upright on the horse, holding a book and watching it leisurely.

The three of them walked along the road not long after entering a forest.

As soon as he entered Lin Zi, Lu An felt a little strange and sneered on his face.

Li Li put down the book and asked in confusion: "What's wrong with the young master?"

"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 in confusion: "What does your young master mean? Could it be..."

Lu An interrupted: "I just thought of this problem."

"Young Master, your question is a bit difficult for me to answer. If I ask me the principles in the book, I can solve my doubts one by one. This will be a bit difficult." Li Li apologized.

Lu An looked disbelief, "Why is sir so humble today?"

"It's because I was a good teacher before, but I was ridiculed by others. Now I dare not give any advice on the country." Wei Yang covered his mouth and laughed.

"Young master, I think I'd better add another piece of cold sand iron. I didn't hear that he was tired." Li Li suggested.

Wei Yang was so scared that he trembled and quickly closed his mouth.

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

Li Li nodded and replied, "Since the young master is interested, I will just talk about it casually. It cannot be taken seriously. The rampage of bandits can only show that it is the fault of the current dynasty and is not cruel enough."

"It's that simple?" Lu An asked in confusion.

Li Li nodded, "Starting from Wu County, we walked through half a Han Dynasty. Along the way, we master and apprentice encountered at least a dozen times. Fortunately, we were lucky. We were two young and were ragged and then left after plundering us. But do you know? The bandits we met were all young and strong men. They obviously had good physiques, but life was poorer than us. They were dressed more ragged than us. They didn't want to support their families, but they all wanted to be the kind of green forest hero who drank big and ate meat in the rumors."

This sentence immediately made Lu An interested. On his way back to Cha County from Sebei, he also encountered several groups of bandits, but it seemed that they were not as miserable as Li Li said. "How could this be? This Han Dynasty is the richest dynasty among the three major dynasties in the north. How could it be so unbearable?"

Li Li smiled bitterly, "Young Master, if you don't go there for a walk by yourself, you don't know that the so-called cold world is like this, just like the country-style city, there are many people begging along the streets, sneaking and falling into bandits, countless people are stolen."

"Young Master, what Master said is true. Throughout the journey, we had money in the first half, and could eat and drink. In the second half, we were really snatched up all the way. I think it was a miracle to be able to arrive in this Guofeng City, so after meeting a good person like Young Master, it seemed like I saw hope." Wei Yang frowned and replied.

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

Li Li smiled bitterly, "It's much harder than the young master thought, so I said before that the young master is the kind of immortal who is not as good as the world."

When Lu An heard this, he suddenly became silent.

"The northern border is so big that many people can only stay in a small place for their entire lives. If they want to leave, there are all kinds of reasons. They can't walk and move. They just have no choice but to go out and break through, and there is no such thing as stealing." Li Li sighed again.

"Is there no way to change?" Lu An asked in confusion.

"Change? How to change this inertia that penetrates deep into the bone marrow?" Li Li replied directly.

"Then the people in the dynasty never thought of changing this situation?" Lu An frowned.

"It is impossible to change according to the current situation." Li Li suddenly became louder.

"Why?" Lu An was puzzled.

"As the saying goes, "to cultivate oneself, manage the family, govern the country and pacify the world, this thinking is already deeply rooted among the people in the northern border, but who is this saying? It is about scholars, but what do scholars pay attention to? Benevolence, filial piety and etiquette are the foundation of the country's rule of several dynasties. It is almost impossible for you to let them change it. And those bandits are all? They have never read books. For them, benevolence and etiquette are not as good as a piece of meat in their hands. It is almost impossible for scholars who cultivate and pacify to change them. The current government orders cannot restrain them at all." Li Li said disgustedly.

"Is this why there are so many scholars? I would rather not eat than buy a book." Lu An asked back.

"In this world, only one out of tens of thousands of people may be able to become a monk like the young master. Where does this person come from? They all come from the upper class, such as these thieves, are the ones at the bottom. They think about how to live, how to grab, how to eat, how to wear, and who would think about studying and practicing Taoism? They are people from two worlds. For ordinary people, cultivators are noble immortals." Li Li said.

Lu An could only nod his head silently, but still refuted, "Sir, are you talking too pessimistic?"

Li Li did not refute, nodded and replied, "That's right, no matter how chaotic the world is and how many disputes there are, I can only say that this world is actually the world of ordinary people."

After hearing this, Lu An felt it made sense. He fell into deep thought in an instant and replied, "I heard from the gentleman that I immediately benefited a lot,"

Li Li shook his head, "I have eaten a few more years of dinner, read a few more years of scenery, and read a few more years of books, that's all."

"According to the sir, the bandits are all a bunch of poor people, who are eating and waiting to die all day long." Lu An concluded.

Li Li raised his eyebrows and retorted: "This type of person should be killed the most, and he must be killed hard."

Lu An was deeply surprised and looked puzzled.

"Young Master, don't blame me. This is the case with Master. He hates evil as enemies and studies the books of sages, but wants to be an executioner." Wei Yang said with a smile.

Li Li glared at Wei Yang and replied indifferently to Lu An: "In today's suffering world, only suffering will be used to deal with it. Otherwise, this world will be even more chaotic. Everyone knows that there are pros and cons, but they don't know how to abide by the great way. So what the dynasty should do the most is actually this. Bandits are rampant, so you will be forced to suppress it and be afraid of killing. Who else dares to be a bandit? Is it just a path to become a bandit? This kind of behavior must be severely punished and not tolerated."

Li Li's statement is really completely different from what Lu An saw in the book. "Did you say that you use violence to fight violence? But the truth in this book..."

"No, it is not about using violence to fight violence, but about using strength to fight violence. The books of sages are also written by humans, and sages are also humans. This is the essence of their lives. It can only be said, and it has its own reasons, so I am just saying this. After all, ideas and reality are different. It's enough for the young master to hear it, so there is no need to be serious about it." Li Li said apologetically.

"The Master has always been like this. He has been questioning the interests and evils in the book, but he still asks me to read and recite the books every day. Oh, I don't understand." Wei Yang sighed bitterly.

"At a young age, you know what good things are. When you reach the age of age, you will naturally be qualified to question what you have learned, rather than questioning the good things in the book during the learning process. These are two different things. If you apply what you have learned, you have not even succeeded in learning. How can you judge the good things about this use?" Li Li scolded Wei Yang directly.

Wei Yang glanced at his mouth and said nothing.

After hearing this, Lu An felt it made sense, nodded and said, "I think what Mr. said makes sense. If you want to evaluate its quality, you will understand it thoroughly. You are really not qualified to evaluate its right or wrong."

Wei Yang had a bitter face, "Oh, even the young master thinks what the Master said makes sense. It seems that he has to recite this book. I have pity my young hand, and I may be in trouble again."

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

"Young Master, don't take this seriously today. Just hear it. If you really wear it, you will be regarded as an alien, which is very disrespectful." Li Li instructed again.

Lu An nodded, and it was true that what Li Li said just now was indeed completely different from what he had come 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 before.

Li Li's position in Lu An's heart couldn't help but increase a lot.

The three of them discussed for so long, and the little white wolf's ears were itchy when they heard it. They couldn't understand a word. They rolled their eyes and jumped directly from Lu An, and then got into the forest.

Wei Yang was shocked and said, "Young Master, the little white wolf ran away from home."

Lu An glanced at it, ignored the little white wolf, and said to Wei Yang: "Don't worry about it, maybe you might get diarrhea."

Wei Yang nodded, still worriedly looking at the direction where the little white wolf left.

"Yang'er, don't worry, if you lose it, it won't be lost." Li Li also said.

When Wei Yang heard these two people say this, he could only nod and continue to follow them.

The three of them had been walking in this forest for a while, and before they knew it, they had entered a dense forest. They were surrounded by towering trees, which required two or three strong adults to hug. The tree looked very ancient.

"Young Master, have you taken the wrong path along the way?" Li Li asked uneasyly.

Lu An replied lightly: "Don't worry, sir, there is such a forest on the map. If you want to get to Qufu City, you must pass through this forest. There are roads here, which means we have not taken the wrong path. Although there were other forks before, it would take a lot of time to go around it."

Li Li nodded slightly.

"It looks a bit scary here. Will there be some strange things happening, such as some monsters?" Wei Yang said in fear.

"Strange? How can a martial artist be afraid of these things?" Lu An said with a secret smile.

After hearing this, Wei Yang immediately raised his chest, raised his head and looked fierce, and strode forward.

But after walking a few steps, a strange sound came from the near the forest. Wei Yang was so scared that he immediately shrank behind Lu An and said in fear: "Young Master, there is a sound there."

Lu An chuckled and comforted her, "What are you afraid of? Isn't it just some dirty things."

"Ah! Dirty!" Wei Yang's eyes widened, his face full of horror.

"Sir, now I want to ask you another question. If we encounter those bandits and Green Forest heroes at this time, should I kill or not?" Lu An asked seriously.

When Li Li heard this, hesitated and dared not open his mouth casually. He just asked tentatively, "Have you really met?"

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

Li Li was shocked, "That is to say, it's ten lives."

Lu An nodded, "Sir, I have said so much before, and I have roughly understood the truth that this gentleman said. The way is uneven, and she walks in Shechem, just want to confirm it with her again."

Li Li was stunned, his face turned a little pale, he opened his mouth, but he still didn't dare to speak out. His eyes were full of unbearableness and hesitated: "Do you really want to do this?"

Lu An was puzzled by Li Li's answer, "I think what sir said before makes sense, why are you hesitating now?"

Li Li sighed, "Because... this burden is really... too heavy."

Lu An was still puzzled by this, "It's too heavy? Just be sure of it. I will handle the matters in the future. Why do you say that?"

After stopping the conversation between the two, Wei Yang could figure out the reason and said anxiously: "Young Master! Kill!"

When Li Li heard this, he was shocked. He looked at Wei Yang in disbelief and angrily shouted: "Stop talking!"

Both of them were shocked. They were very strange to Li Li's reaction, and they were confused.

"Teacher?" 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 living people, and they can't deprive them of their qualifications just because of my words."

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

Li Li nodded and replied in a disgusting manner: "I know this, but I don't think I can afford these ten lives."

Lu An raised his eyebrows, "Sir, I used to kill this kind of thing, so I'll make the decision."

As soon as he finished speaking, Wei Yang spoke in a low tone and said angrily: "Young Master, what they do is destined to be damned! He can't bear what the Master wants to do, so I will bear it."

Lu An looked at Li Li, who bowed his head to the point of default.

Touched Wei Yang's head. "You are still young."
