Chapter Fifty-Four: Like a Demon, the Way of Buddha is Not the Way

Ling Tianyun felt the dazzling blood-red light pierce his eyes like a sharp sword, and his eyes seemed to be blinded by that blood-red light. He couldn't help but close his eyes, the moment he closed them. There was silence all around, and barely a sound reached his ears.

When he closed his eyes, he could no longer feel the blood-red light, but the blinding light disappeared without a trace. And his heart began to calm at this moment, and the sight of the unarmed villagers being slaughtered by masked men on horseback no longer in his mind was in his mind. He clenched his fists, felt his hands move, and felt the wound under his ribs ach again. He felt that he had regained control of his body, and he couldn't help but rejoice.

He now has only one belief in his heart, even if it is too late to save those simple and kind villagers, he just wants to kill those masked people on horseback and avenge those innocent villagers. He wanted to return blood for blood, tooth for tooth, and a fierce killing intent spread from his body, and it was about to explode in an instant.

Ling Tianyun opened his eyes suddenly, but when he saw the scenery in front of him clearly, he was stunned. He watched it all in disbelief, his mouth open enough to plug an egg. The murderous aura that erupted from his whole body was like a balloon punctured by a needle, exhaled, and was extinguished in an instant.

In front of him was still the Buddha statue, looking down at him with fierce and angry eyes. The pair of protruding eyes were like two big black balls, which were none other than an angry King Kong.

Ling Tianyun was stunned, and only then did he wake up, it turned out that he was still in this temple, or sitting on the Putuan under this Buddha statue. He looked at the old monk's place again, but found that the old monk had left the temple at some point. I was alone in this secluded temple, in this dim light.

Only then did he realize that the original hideous Buddha statue was no longer so terrifying, but on the contrary, there was some peace and gentleness. The faint light shone directly down from the glazed tiles, but it was no longer so cold, and the soft light was like a mother's hands, caressing his body.

It turned out that all this was just a dream, but everything that happened in that dream was deeply imprinted in Ling Tianyun's mind, and maybe he would not forget it in this life. It's not that he hasn't seen bloody scenes, and he's seen even more bloody scenes than this. But he had never seen the overwhelming massacre of the strong against the weak. He had never seen the slaughter of those unarmed village women in Liujia, the slaughter of those sixty or seventy-year-old staggering old men who had never been swept away, and the slaughter of those children who only knew how to play around and were still babbling was slaughtered like this.

And this strange dream was deeply imprinted in his mind and aroused the softness in his heart. It made his heart get a comprehensive sublimation, and while he was eager to enhance his strength, he also felt pity for the weak. A firm will, but there will also be a cauldron like a demonic flame burning. I don't go to hell, who goes to hell, then he thought of a Buddhist saying. If you are not crazy, how can you become a demon, and if you are not a demon, how can you become a Buddha, he also thought of another sentence. Maybe he will really sink into the demon sea in the future, he has a premonition, and this premonition is very strong.

He felt the soft light of the temple and slowly stood up, he didn't know how long he had been sitting in the temple. The light shining from the glazed tiles on the roof of the temple was still so faint that it was almost impossible to tell what time it was. He stretched his limbs, and the numbness in his whole body gradually became a little less.

Ling Tianyun still decided to go out, it was not interesting to sit alone in this temple. He opened the two doors of the temple, but when they were opened, they were strangely light, and it basically didn't take him any effort.

He stepped out of the temple, and the rain had stopped. But the sky was still gray, and the village was shrouded in the gray sky, and the rain-soaked ground was occasionally surrounded by wisps of smoke. It's a quiet and peaceful village. Looking at all this, Ling Tianyun felt extremely comfortable.

He gulped in the rain-soaked air with a hint of earthy fragrance, and everything was so sure. After all, in the dream just now, the taste of blood still lingered in his mind. The unforgettable feeling of pain could not be extinguished in his heart, those helpless eyes, and those heart-rending screams were still left in the deepest part of his mind.

The joyful sound of children playing reached his ears, and the winter rain stopped, and the happiest were undoubtedly those who had not yet grown up. Their childish laughter and innocent words reached his ears clearly. There were a few children running happily on the rain-soaked ground, ignoring the wet ground and wetting their clothes.

Ling Tianyun stood in front of the door of this temple, quietly watching all this, he let out a burst of comfortable smiles, and that comfort came from the bottom of his heart.

"Smack".

A piece of dirt caught in the rain flew out of the hands of the group of children and hit Ling Tianyun's chest right on. This small piece of dirt didn't do any damage to Ling Tianyun, and the piece of dirt landed on his chest, pausing for a moment before falling to the ground, leaving a stain on his chest with water stains.

"Big brother, where are you from, why haven't I seen you before." An immature child's voice came, and Ling Tianyun was about to lower his head and wipe the stain with his hand. Hearing this, he stopped raising his hand.

He looked at the childish voice, but saw a sixteen or seven-year-old boy standing not far from him, looking at him with big eyes and curiosity. The child was wearing a black cotton jacket and a pair of cotton cloth shoes that were stained with mud. The child had a tiger's head, a pair of big black eyes, and he turned flexibly. There were also two unwiped snots on the red face, and the snot stuck to the wet mud, which was almost a big flower face.

Ling Tianyun felt that this child had a familiar feeling, but this child was obviously not the same person as the boy in his dream. But the familiarity was strong, and perhaps the boy's eyes in the dream were very similar to the child's, both so clear and innocent. That's why he felt that this boy was very similar to the boy in his dreams, and it gave him a sense of familiarity.

He walked over to the boy, crouched down and gently wiped the dirt from the boy's face. The boy's face was clean, and his delicate countenance was revealed, and a pair of black eyes like grapes were always watching him. The child tilted his head and looked at Ling Tianyun suspiciously, he felt warmth and care from the hands of the eldest brother touching his face, like a loved one, like the warmth of a spring sun.

"Big brother, what's wrong with you." The boy found a crystal tear in Ling Tianyun's eyes, and he couldn't help but wonder, this big brother seemed to be crying.

How did he know Ling Tianyun's mood at this time, that kind of dream that he had experienced personally gave him unforgettable memories for the rest of his life. That feeling is the joy of life after the catastrophe, although all this is not real, and everything in front of you is not the scene of survival after the catastrophe.

"Big brother is fine, what's your name?" Ling Tianyun stroked the head of the boy who was a little shorter than himself, and asked softly.

"My father's name is Da Niu, and the people in the village call me Xiao Niu." The boy looked up at Ling Tianyun in front of him and replied loudly, his eyes revealing a look of confidence and fearlessness.

Ling Tianyun couldn't help but laugh dumbly, he patted the calf's head again and asked, "Calf, do you want to grow up to be as strong as a cow, no one will dare to bully you in the future." ”

"Big brother, how do you know what I think?" The calf asked him curiously, he did have such thoughts. The children in their village don't have any official names when they are young, and they all use some cheap names as milk names, hoping to grow up healthy and healthy.

"Little cowboy, come back soon, we won't play with you if you don't come back." At this time, some of the other children who were playing with him saw that he had been talking to an older brother for so long, and began to urge him to get up.

"You go play." Ling Tianyun saw in the calf's eyes that he still liked to go back to play among his companions, and couldn't help but let him leave.

"Big brother, goodbye," the calf ran quickly towards the group of children, jumping and jumping, taking three steps and making two steps. He quickly blended in with his playmates, and from time to time burst into laughter.

Ling Tianyun looked at those cheerful and playful children, and couldn't help but get drunk.

"Ang ???????", and then a long neighing of a horse came into his ears, and his expression was so grim that he could hear that it was the cry of his white horse. He hurried quickly towards the wooden shed.

When the white horse saw Ling Tianyun's arrival, he stopped hissing, and couldn't help lowering his head to arch him, and white steam came out of his nose. He knew that the white horse was warning him that a dangerous aura was coming.

His eyes froze slightly, and an unprecedented evil aura rushed up to the sky, and immediately spread throughout his body. For he found four horses galloping from the official road along the path he had walked towards the quiet village. Four horses flew off on all fours, and the muddy water flew up, and in an instant they came to the bottom of the stone steps at the head of the village.

Ling Tianyun looked around, and saw four high-headed brown horses all the same, and on the back of the horses were four warriors dressed in strong clothes. Two of the samurai were the ones he had seen in the inn, and they were the same warriors who were chasing down the two Zhongshan Martial Arts Dojos who had had intimate contact with him.

His gaze did not rest on the warriors, but on the four brown horses. This kind of brown tall steed is rare in the territory of the Han Dynasty, and this kind of horse is only common in the Khitan Kingdom in the north. For the forces behind the Zhongshan Martial Arts Dojo in Lanzhou City, it is obvious that they are about to come out.

Ling Tianyun raised his sword eyebrows, and he quickly stood on top of the end of the stone steps, and at the same time drew the saber in his hand. No matter why these people came, no matter what kind of strength this group of people had, he would not allow these people to step into this village even half a step. Although the people of this village did not know him, the real scene in the dream deeply stimulated him.

The four horses carrying the four warriors in suit had rushed up the stone steps, but most of them had not crossed the stone steps. And stepping through the vegetable fields on both sides of the stone steps, the four horses only trampled the green vegetables to the side, and it was a mess. The four horses soon arrived, less than three zhang away from Ling Tianyun.

"Huh", a voice sounded, and the four horses were immediately strangled at the same time. He saw a big man with a beard on the brown horse showing a strange look, he felt that the young man standing in front of him was a little familiar, he couldn't help but restrain the forward steed, and looked at the young man. When the other three saw him restrain his horse, they also restrained the horse from which they had straddled.

"It's him," a flash of thought flashed through his mind, and the bearded man wondered where he had seen the young man, the young man who was squatting in the big wooden barrel and bathing in the inn in White Rock Town was the young man in front of him. At that time, he didn't pay much attention to this young man, and the appearance of this young man here at this time really surprised him a little.

Ling Tianyun also found this bearded man, of course he still remembered this person, and there was another person he also remembered. Although the other person didn't make a deep impression on him, Ling Tianyun, who had been a scout, was not a difficult thing for someone who remembered that he had a face-to-face relationship.
