Genshin Impact: Liyue's Strongest Thousand Rock Army

With the sword in his hand, the group of men in black walked quickly towards Confucius, who looked old in the crowd, intending to use this as a threat.

If Confucius was really just an ordinary middle-aged man, there would be no problem, but he was Confucius after all, a very powerful being even without the Eye of God.

How can they be compared to these scoundrels.

Seeing this group of people rushing towards him, Confucius took a step forward and then stepped out of the crowd to prevent them from hurting his students.

This puzzling action made the group of people confused, and some even sneered, "That guy must be a fool!"

Only the man who was the leader of dozens of people stared at the middle-aged man who walked out of the crowd. He always felt that this seemingly ordinary man was going to do something earth-shattering.

And the fact was just as he guessed. Confucius treated people politely, but that was only the way people treated him normally. When faced with people who were pointing swords at him, he would not show mercy.

"Rock binding." Confucius opened his mouth and uttered two words. His righteous spirit surged out like a torrent, and in the lingering darkness, it seemed like a huge light.

It came towards them like a mountain, and at the same time it had the momentum of heaven and earth, which shocked the group of people and made them stand there in a daze.

The first person to wake up was the leader, but unfortunately, the moment he woke up, he was imprisoned by the rock elemental creatures growing on the ground and was unable to move.

Looking at the others, they were in similar situations, their bodies were restrained, their legs could not support the weight, and they were lying on the ground with their hands and knees prostrated.

"Zilu, go and find out their origins." Confucius turned around and looked at the gentleman holding a bow in one hand.

"Ah? Yes!" Zilu shook his head, became a little more sober, walked to the group of people and thought for a while.

Judging from the attire of this group of people, they are not a group of treasure robbers, but rather bandits from Mondstadt. However, some tricks are needed to find out their origins.

Zilu squatted down and said, "Hey, didn't you guys in the treasure-hunting group abide by the principle of only digging for treasures and not robbing or killing people? Why did you break the rules today?"

"You are the one who stole the treasure..." Before he could finish his words, he was interrupted by another person.

"Haha, our treasure-stealing group is known as the thieves of Teyvat. Do you believe what a thief says?"

"Oh?" Zilu touched his chin and looked at the man who answered, "But why do I remember that the treasure-stealing group doesn't like to call themselves thieves?"

"Since you said you were a member of the Treasure Stealing Group, why don't you explain the group rules that you must abide by? Instead, it seems that I can't see clearly."

"You are not a member of the Treasure Stealing Group." Zilu shook his head slightly and sighed, "No one in the Treasure Stealing Group is so shameless!"

"You're talking nonsense! I'm from the Night Owl Organization, and my job is to rob the rich and give to the poor. I'm a knight, don't compare yourself to those low-class people!"

The person who was interrupted earlier must be an impatient person and a stubborn person. He knew that people were trying to pry into his affairs, but he didn't try to cover it up and insisted on telling the truth.

As for the man who had interrupted him earlier, he was looking at him with disappointment, gritting his teeth, as if he had something to say that was about to come out.

Zilu smiled, clapped his hands, and said, "Very good, very good. I'll give you some extra food in prison later!"

"Humph." The man had a smug look on his face when he heard that, but after he realized the meaning of "in prison", his expression changed very quickly.

He went from being complacent to looking pale, and recently he looked as pale as dust, as if he was going to die of depression.

"You can't even tell when someone is trying to trick you. I'm going to fuck your ass, and your entire family too..."

The man, who was very disappointed with his friend, roared for a long time until his throat was almost smoking, and then he showed no signs of stopping.

Of course, he was able to speak so freely only after Zilu walked away and reported to Confucius, otherwise he would probably have been beaten.

"Master, they are from the Night Owl Organization."

"I just had a condition." Confucius nodded slightly, then looked at the students behind him and explained, "The Night Owl Organization is a large thief group in Mondstadt. It can be said that it is notorious."

"They often hijack caravans and passers-by in Mondstadt, and even in the Stone Gate bordering Liyue. However, in the past few years, under the strong attack of the Thousand Rock Army, this bandit group suffered heavy losses and eventually returned to Mondstadt to cause chaos!"

"What about the Knights of Mond? There's such a big bandit nest there, but they don't deal with it." Someone among the students asked.

Confucius continued, "It is said that the leader of the Night Owl Organization is very cautious and will move his base on time. Every time we track him down, the place is always empty."

"We were able to survive this time because of the new recruits of Night Owl. They were too impatient. Otherwise, we would not be able to be sure that they were Night Owl."

"Why?" a student asked.

"Because according to Mond's law of freedom, if a person insists that he is not that person, then he cannot be convicted and the punishment he deserves cannot be carried out!"

Confucius sighed slightly. He had no way to deal with such a truly speechless law because it was a matter of other countries and it was not the turn of an outsider like him to intervene.

"Everyone, go back and rest first. We will set off later." Confucius said, raising his hand and the rock element creature emerged, sealing the mouths of the group of people.

In an instant, the camp became much quieter, as if this group of people had never been here. Everyone could sleep peacefully and safely.

The man in the Night Owl organization who served as the leader of this operation kept calm eyes. He glanced at the shackles on his body and wanted to smile bitterly, but he couldn't open his mouth.

He seemed to have let go of a lot, as if he could finally end everything and truly relax, not thinking about his next move or considering other plans.

Even if he ends up in jail, he can still live for himself, live for himself...

After the thief put on the shackles that locked his hands and feet, he felt relieved. When facing the beautiful scenery outside the iron window, he finally had the mind to appreciate it.

It's funny and sad, but it's like an eternal saying, explaining the truth of life: there is gain and loss.

Time passed and the sky was already getting light.

Confucius and a group of students walked out of the camp and dismantled the tent. After the farce just now, they did not continue to rest, but simply closed their eyes to relax.

Otherwise, after falling asleep again, wanting to wake up and continue the long journey will require great perseverance and determination.

There were about a hundred people, looking like light infantry who were about to break camp and leave, but their weapons were not long spears, but pen knives, and their way of cheering was not to beat drums, but to speak out the truth of life.

Behind them, there was a group of "prisoners of war" who were shackled and shackled. Although they were unwilling, they were forced to walk under the drive of the rock elemental creations.

After walking for half a day, it was noon and the sun was scorching hot, but compared to the hot summer, it was much hotter, at least it wouldn't make people get heatstroke.

In order not to delay their journey, they held dry food in one hand and a water bottle in the other, and ate while walking, to prevent the group of people behind them from causing any trouble.

One of the students turned around, looked at the Night Owl Organization members who had also walked for such a long time, and asked, "Do you want to give them some food?"

"What are you thinking? They come here to rob us, and you're wasting food on them?"

"I can't give it to you. I absolutely can't give it to you!"

Two people had a firm attitude. After all, if people treated them with courtesy, they would return the favor with courtesy. If people treated them with violence, they would return the violence with violence.

"But don't we in Liyue treat prisoners well?"

"That depends on the situation. The teacher paid for this dry food from the fleet and left it for us as dry food. Are you not going to eat later?"

"That's right. Do not do to others what you do not want others to do to you. Do you understand this principle?"

"This, doesn't seem to be the explanation."

"It's okay, just leave it alone!"

Not far away, the four inseparable people, three big and one small, each had dry food in one hand and water in the other.

Hearing the conversation vaguely, Zeng Xi lowered his head to look at the junior student beside him and said slowly: "Junior student, what do you think about this matter?"

"Can I choose to turn a blind eye?" Su Ping swallowed the dry food in his mouth, took a sip of water, and then swallowed it.

Yan Ziyuan said, "Little brother, as a gentleman, you should be kind and virtuous. You can't act like this!"

"The Master also said that a gentleman should not save others." Su Ping said, clearing his throat, his voice clear, "The principles of benevolence are: do not look at what is not proper, do not say what is not proper, do not do what is not proper, and do not listen to what is not proper!"

"Speaking of which, this clause was originally formed because Brother Ziyuan asked the Master what the word 'benevolence' means, and that's when the four major rules were born!"

"Well, not bad, not bad. It seems that after my junior brother condensed his great righteousness, he has become even more eloquent." Yan Ziyuan smiled, his handsome face making people feel like they were in spring breeze.

"It has nothing to do with this. It's just repaying kindness with kindness and repaying evil with justice!" Su Ping spread his hands, his words were true.

The crowd continued to move forward, and finally walked out of the prairie and saw a different scenery. The gray and white city wall appeared in everyone's eyes.

Mondstadt is located on an island in a lake, surrounded by water on all sides. There is only a spacious bridge that allows people to pass through both sides and connect the human population.

While watching, a shout came from the woods nearby, "Wait a minute!"

The voice is deep, like an ancient rock that has been through a lot of human experience, leaving behind many traces of vicissitudes.

Following closely, a man with graying temples and not much black hair left rushed out from the woods, followed by more than a dozen people.

They either carried bows and arrows or had one-handed swords slung around their waists. They wore silver light helmets, could move quickly, and looked resolute and swift. They were all veterans on the battlefield.

The man in the lead was carrying a large sword and a bow. It looked like it was made with craftsmanship from Liyue and had a sense of age after years of use.

"May the wind god protect you, stranger! I am a scout knight of the Knights of Favonius..."
