In fact, it is right to reverse what Lao Liu said.

It was not Jun Jixue who went to find Lao Liu, but Lao Liu who went to Jun Jixue and took the Spring and Autumn Slips from him.

The awe-inspiring righteousness in Lao Liu's body was something he borrowed from the Spring and Autumn Slips. Although he couldn't fight people directly, he could still bluff them.

When Lao Liu wanted to plan his next move, he had to legitimately make himself unable to use Confucian righteousness.

The ban on Confucianism outside can perfectly solve Lao Liu's problem.

If we say that Lao Liu, who was not grounded, was a fierce tiger that had restrained its claws, people would not dare to provoke him easily.

Now Lao Liu is like a scorpion hiding under the sand, ready to deliver a fatal blow to his prey at any time.

However, Yan Xing only thought that Old Liu was unfathomable and said obediently: "The ancestors of the Yan family once had selfish intentions. When they built Banxian Village, they secretly built a secret escape route."

"Only the head of the Yan family and the great scholar guarding the Forest of Steles know this secret passage."

Old Liu said in a deep voice: "Where are the exit and entrance of the secret passage?"

Yan Xing replied: "The outer entrance is in the back mountain, and the inner entrance is in the corner of the Forest of Steles."

"Huh?" Lao Liu looked at Yan Xing: "You said, the entrance is in the Forest of Steles? Once drastic changes occur in Banxian Village, do you want to go to the Forest of Steles to escape?"

Yan Xing bowed his head deeply and said: "In the opinion of our ancestors, being able to preserve the elites of the Yan family is the key to continuing the Yan family. As for the other disciples, they can only...can only die for righteousness."

"Well!" Old Liu's expression was cold, but he was secretly happy in his heart: "Tell me! How to enter the secret passage."

Yan Xing told us exactly how to open the secret passage, and Lao Liu also sent us news.

Although Banxianzhuang closed the mountain gate, it did not isolate the news. With Chen Shuyu's secret method of communication, the news of Lao Liu was also successfully transmitted to me.

Taking the news, I couldn't help but feel embarrassed: "How should we deal with the situation at hand?"

Butcher Wang said: "How about we divide our troops into three groups? Two groups of people will enter the village according to the route on the drawing, and one group will follow what Old Man Qiao said, and the other group will go straight to the middle."

"Li Po, you and Ye Yang enter the village through the Yan family's secret road and go straight to the Forest of Steles."

"We will attract Xia Chuan's attention for you, and you can go about your business."

I muttered: "No, you can't attract each other's attention."

"Since Xia Chuan has left a trap in the underground secret passage, he will be monitored. If I don't show up, he won't be fooled."

I said in a deep voice: "Let's all go into the Yan family tunnel and go straight to the Forest of Steles."

Butcher Wang said: "Xia Chuan should have calculated the approximate time of our return. If we don't show up, wouldn't it be easy for him to become suspicious?"

I shook my head and said: "Since Old Liu can send us a message, it means that he is fine. With that old guy's character, he will not remain calm like this. I estimate that the next step he will take will turn Banxian Village upside down."

"Let's go first!"

Facts have proved that my judgment was correct.

When a few of us quietly walked around to the mountain behind Banxian Village, Lao Liu took action in Banxian Village first.

At that time, Yan Xing had been looking at Old Liu eagerly: "Sir, is there a reply from Liangjie Hall?"

"If we continue to wait like this, I don't know how many more disciples Banxianzhuang will lose?"

"Should we...should we take action?"

Old Liu waved his fan and said, "Yan Xing! Let me ask you a question."

"Civil officials in ancient times were all disciples of Confucianism, especially in the Ming and Qing Dynasties. Why are there some righteous and evil, loyal and treacherous, capable ministers and tyrants among these people?"

Yan Xing lowered his head and said, "Student...student doesn't know how to answer."

Lao Liu smiled and said: "It's not that you don't know how to answer, but you don't dare to answer. Well, you can go and rest! I will do the rest of the work."

Yan Xing lowered his head: "The student wants to serve the teacher!"

Lao Liu smiled and said: "In that case, it's okay for you to stay!"

"Do you know why I call myself: Soul Repenter?"

Lao Liu didn't wait for Yan Xing's answer and said: "The meaning of confession is the repentance from the soul. Repenting my soul also leads others to repent."

"There are no faultless people in this world, there are only people who make mistakes but don't know they are wrong."

"Only through torture from the depths of the soul can one rectify one's mind and be righteous. Do you think so?"

Yan Xing was in awe: "Students must obey the teacher's teachings!"

Later, when I heard Lao Liu telling me about this process, I was confused. I even asked him specifically: What do you think those are?

Lao Liu told me: In fact, he didn’t know what he was talking about?

If you want to fool people who are more knowledgeable than you, you have to pretend to be inscrutable and say something that you don't even understand, but that makes some sense when you think about it.

If you give them an idea, they will think about it on their own, and the more they think about it, the more profound it becomes.

Just like that joke on the Internet:

A science graduate student asked a question in the group: What would be the effect if a drop of water fell from a high altitude? As a result, a group of people were making formulas and calculations, using the acceleration of gravity and the altitude of several kilometers.

Finally, someone asked in the group: Have you never been caught in the rain?

This is the habitual thinking. The more knowledgeable a person is, the stronger the habitual thinking is. If you give him a point, he may come up with many things.
