After looking at the bandit leader whose eyes were dull and as if he had lost his soul, Zhang Sanfeng said: "What is Xu Xiaoyou going to do with him?"
"Of course, we should make the best use of everything! As for how to use it..." Xu Qian paused deliberately and said with a sense of humor: "A real person is compassionate, so it is better not to know."
Zhang Sanfeng was silent, knowing that Xu Qian was going to do something to this group of bandits that was not in line with his moral values, so he said such things to him in order not to hurt the harmony between the two parties.
Understanding the meaning of Xu Qian's words, Zhang Sanfeng stopped asking. Zhang Laodao was not a righteous man who could not tolerate any sand in his eyes.
Seeing that Zhang Sanfeng remained silent, Xu Qian knew that he understood the meaning of his words, and said: "As the saying goes, 'the duty of eradicating evil is over', would you be interested in going to the bandits' den with me?"
Zhang Sanfeng said: "It's your decision, little friend!"
Xu Qian nodded, turned to the bandit leader and said, "Take me to your village!"
The bandit leader was like a puppet without intelligence, and replied blankly: "Yes!"
The bandit's stronghold is on a mountain more than ten miles away. Most of the bandits in the stronghold have followed the bandit leader out to rob the road, but there are still bandits staying behind.
"The boss is back, the boss is back!"
Not far from the village, he was discovered by the bandits who were staying at the village. When they saw the bandit leader and the brothers who had gone out, they came back with four people. The bandits who stayed behind did not suspect anything. They opened the gate of the village and welcomed the bandits and Xu Qian.
Go in.
Seeing Zhou Zhiruo among Xu Qian's four, the bandit's eyes lit up: "What a beautiful little beauty! Boss, when you are done having fun, give the brothers a sip of soup!"
The bandit leader smiled and cursed: "When did I not give you soup? Go and call all the brothers, I have something to say!"
"Okay!"
The left-behind bandit smiled broadly and ran to inform the other bandits in the village.
Not long after, the bandits in the entire village gathered in an open space, waiting for the bandit leader to speak. However, before the bandit leader could speak, they saw the strangely dressed monk pulling out a strange object towards them. Before they could see it clearly,
What was that? All the bandits felt numb and fell to the ground one after another.
Even though he had seen it once, Zhang Sanfeng couldn't help being surprised when he saw Xu Qian knocking down a group of bandits again with that kind of hidden weapon. Xu Xiaoyou's hidden weapon was really too powerful!
‘There are twenty-seven people in total, all the bandits are here!’
Knowing that all the bandits in the village were here, Xu Qian said to Zhou Zhiruo and Zhang Wuji: "Disciple, you and Brother Zhang go search the village to see if there are any fish that have slipped through the net."
"Yes, Master!"
Zhou Zhiruo did not suspect Xu Qian, so she and Zhang Wuji started searching the village. Not long after, screams of "Ah!" rang out in the village.
Hearing the scream, Zhang Sanfeng's expression changed and he hurried towards the direction where the scream came from. However, Xu Qian took his time and hurried over slowly.
When Xu Qian rushed to the place where the screams came from, he saw Zhang Sanfeng with a heavy face, Zhang Wuji, and Zhou Zhiruo lying on the ground and vomiting, as if they had been shocked.
In front of the three people was a pit. Xu Qian walked over and saw that there were many corpses in the pit. Some were rotten to the point of leaving only bones, and some were rotting, with corpse fluid flowing and maggots crawling on the corpses.
Most of the corpses in the pit are female corpses, there are also several male corpses, and there are even a few young corpses.
"Master!" Seeing Xu Qian coming over, Zhou Zhiruo called with tears in her eyes. She had never seen such a disgusting and cruel scene, and was very frightened.
"Xiaoyou Xu has known about this place for a long time?" Zhang Sanfeng asked.
Hearing this, Zhou Zhiruo and Zhang Wuji both looked at Xu Qian: Master (Mr. Xu) knew that there was such a place, but asked them to look for any bandits who had slipped through the village...
Xu Qian did not deny it, but admitted frankly: "I know!"
After looking at Zhou Zhiruo, Zhang Wuji, and Xu Qian, they said: "From the bandits' oral accounts, although you can know the cruelty of the world, you don't have a more intuitive feeling. Zhiruo, do you know why these bones are in this pit?"
”
Zhou Zhiruo had wet tears on her face. After being silent for a while, Fang tentatively replied: "Are those bandits harming people?"
Xu Qian shook his head and said: "Bandits harming people is just one of the reasons! If bandits want to harm people, they must also be able to harm people. You have to think about why bandits can harm people?"
Why can bandits harm people?
Zhou Zhiruo's face was blank. Bandits are bandits, bad guys, and evil people. Isn't it normal to be able to harm people?
Zhang Wuji looked thoughtful on the side, but Zhang Sanfeng had already thought of what Xu Qian was going to say.
Xu Qian said: "Because the bandits are stronger than these bones, the bandits can kill them arbitrarily and throw their bones here!"
"The essence of the world has always been that of the weak and the strong, with the strong taking advantage of the weak, even in later generations. It's just that the way of comparing the strong and the weak has been changed. The skin has changed but the bones have not changed."
"If you are not strong enough, you will be like the bones in this pit!"
Zhou Zhiruo shuddered, she didn't want to be like the corpse in the pit, killed by someone, and then dumped here, rotting in such a disgusting way.
"My teacher hopes that you will understand the nature of the world - the weak will eat the strong, and those who fall behind will be beaten! I hope you can remember to become a strong one, not a weak one!"
At this time, Zhang Sanfeng interjected: "What Xu Xiaoyou said is a bit extreme. The old Taoist believes that the truly strong should protect the weak. Although the weak are weak, it is not the reason for them to be harmed."
Xu Qian said: "What Zhang Zhenren said is reasonable, but who determines the 'real strong'? Why should the strong protect the weak?"
"'Although the weak are weak, it is not the reason for them to be killed.' I also agree, but there is a saying in my hometown, 'Being behind does not necessarily mean you will be beaten. That's just that I don't want to hit you today.' This sentence can also be replaced by 'The weak will not be beaten.'
You will definitely get beaten, but that’s just because the strong man doesn’t want to beat you today.’ Do you really think that?”
Hearing "The weak will not necessarily be beaten, it's just that the strong don't want to hit you today", Zhang Sanfeng was silent for a while and said: "If you follow your wishes, the strong can bully the weak at will, then if you meet someone stronger than you, little friend
, so what?"
Xu Qian said: "First, I didn't say that the strong can bully the weak at will. I just said that if you are not strong enough, you may be bullied by the strong. The strong may not necessarily bully the weak, but the weak cannot place your hope on the strong.
; Second, if I meet a stronger person and get bullied by him, it can only mean one thing, I am not strong enough!"
Zhang Sanfeng remained silent. He did not fully agree with Xu Qian's ideas. He believed that Xu Qian's view of the world was too naked and cruel. He was influenced by Buddhism and Taoism, so he naturally rejected it, but it was difficult to refute it because he also felt that some of it
Reasonable.
'Listen to his words and observe his actions. This little friend Xu is neither good nor evil, nor a kind person. I'm afraid there will be many twists and turns in this world!'
Zhang Sanfeng secretly thought that in his hundred years of life, he had never met anyone like Xu Qian.
