Holy Monk, your benefactor is dead!

In the inner city, the lights are bright and the voices are buzzing.

Li Yun was walking among the crowd, and the scene that just happened in the outer city was like a dream.

Suddenly, Li Yun stopped, and turned to look at Jing Yan. Although his face was expressionless, it made Jing Yan a little more nervous for no reason.

"Little monk, can I tell you what you did to them?"

"The little monk is just breaking their qi sea, so that they won't be able to kill in vain in the future."

Hearing Jing Yan's answer, Li Yun was taken aback for a moment, he looked at Jing Yan for a moment, until Jing Yan seemed embarrassed to avoid Li Yun's eyes, then he smiled lightly, stretched out his hand and patted Jing Yan's shoulder .

"Do you know why I stopped in the end?"

"The little monk doesn't know."

Li Yun turned around, cast his eyes to the bright lights in front of him, and then replied: "Sometimes, living is more painful than dying. Little monk, you don't kill them, it's just your mercy; for them, This is indeed a kind of extreme cruelty, and sometimes, dying quickly is also a kind of relief. It’s just that you don’t understand, little monk.”

"Benefactor?" Jing Yan was completely caught up in Li Yun's words. He didn't kill anyone, so he was wrong.

Li Yun suddenly turned around and smiled, "Little monk, believe it or not, those people are dead now."

"How is it possible? The little monk obviously never put anyone to death." Jing Yan exclaimed, he reached out and grabbed Li Yun's hand, and took him to the outer city.

Li Yun also let him drag, he looked at Jing Yan's hurried back, a trace of complexity flashed in his eyes, obviously when Yin Lian deliberately provoked him at the beginning, he already knew her fate, but he didn't think about it at all. This matter told Jing Yan's plan, even just now, he roughly estimated that those people should have been dealt with, so he said that he would come out, and... He can obviously pretend not to know.

However, seeing Jing Yan's almost pure white heart, Li Yun couldn't help it. He couldn't help wanting to put all kinds of cruelty and embarrassment in the world in front of Jing Yan, in an extremely cruel way, To force Jing Yan to accept the filth of this world.

The Buddha saves all living beings, and all living beings have Buddha nature. All of these are just a means of whitewashing peace.

All living beings have Buddhas and demons.

It's just that there are Buddhas in prosperous times, and demons appear in troubled times.

Now that the troubled times are approaching, and all living beings have too much food and clothing, how can they comfort the Buddha? Since there is no incense, how can the Buddha save people?

After all, Li Yun was just a literati, and he couldn't keep up with Jing Yan's speed at all. Jing Yan was also extremely anxious at the moment, so he simply carried Li Yun on his back and ran towards the outer city quickly.

But no matter how fast Jing Yan's speed was, it was still in Li Yun's expectation. When Jing Yan returned to the place where the fight was fought, Jing Yan didn't need to look at it at all. His breath died out, and no one survived.

Jing Yan put Li Yun down, and walked up to look in disbelief. The people who were just paralyzed on the ground now had pale complexions, round eyes, sunken cheeks, bleeding from the seven orifices, and the vitality had gone.

What made Jingyan feel even more weird was that, in just a short round-trip time, the blood in the bodies of forty or so people in the field was drained, and they looked like corpses, which was horrible.

"Amitabha, how could this be?" Jing Yan squatted down in front of a dead body and examined it carefully, only to find that the bones in this person's body were broken every inch of it, which can be described as extremely cruel. In this way, and at this time, Jing Yan discovered that, except for Yinlian, the rest of the people had all their tongues pulled out. Presumably this was also the reason why everyone did not make a sound from the beginning to the end.

Jing Yan stood in the middle of a pile of dead bodies, his face was full of horror, he had never seen such a miserable scene even in this journey.

I didn't kill Boren, but Boren died because of me.

He didn't intend to kill, but he couldn't escape the scheme after all.

Jing Yan looked at Li Yun who was not far away, and Li Yun looked directly at Jing Yan without avoiding the slightest bit. From the moment he conjectured, he was waiting, waiting for Jing Yan's accusation.

It's just..., there is no complaint, only grievance.

"Why didn't you tell the monk."

"You can't save them, even if you haven't abolished their sea of ​​qi, you can't save them, little monk. From the moment they accept the mission, whether they succeed or not, they are doomed to die. Perhaps in your eyes , These are all fresh lives, but you have to remember, little monk, in the hands of the controller, they are just a pile of pawns that can be discarded at any time. Since the pawns are useless, there is no need to keep them."

Li Yun said calmly that he had seen too much and understood everything along the way, so he became indifferent and ignored everything.

"Little monk, this is just the beginning. If you can't bear it, we don't need to look for the Buddha."

Jing Yan was silent, silent, the impact of today's incident was too great for him, he couldn't do it, to be as calm as Li Yun, to face the life and death of others calmly.

perhaps……

He was really wrong from the beginning.

……

The night gradually deepened, and the original hustle and bustle gradually restored the tranquility of the night, and the originally brightly lit streets also retreated into the night again because the candles burned out.

Inside the Cold Mountain Inn, Xiao Er replaced the burnt candle, and retreated respectfully to the corner.

In the lobby, two tables that had not been picked up were put together, wrapped in a thick quilt, revealing a small childish face, it was Yuan Wen who had just recovered from a serious illness. At the door, Yuan Wuzheng stood there anxiously, looking at the distance of the street from time to time.Not far from him, Jiang Qi, who was wearing a striking cloak, stood there quietly, followed by the first and the second, but at this moment, the hands of the two who belonged to the hidden guards were both occupied by heavy gift boxes.

"Young master, why don't you go back! It's an hour, and my master may not be back." Yuan Wu shrank his neck, stomped his feet, moved to Jiang Qi's side, and proposed with a sad face, but he didn't know. How did the master provoke this person? He said he wanted to see the master, and he had been waiting here for more than an hour. Li Yun and the others hadn't come back, and this person didn't leave. He was so sleepy that he couldn't keep his eyes open.

"Wait a little longer." Jiang Qi didn't expect that Li Yun and the others were walking ahead of him in the Mingming, but why there were no one there now, if there were no servants around, Jiang Qi would have thought that Li Yun and the others had run away early the way.

"Young master, here we come!" While he was depressed, he suddenly heard a soft voice from behind him, Jiang Qi couldn't help being shaken, and looked up the street, only to see a dark piece, where there was no shadow of someone, Jiang Qi Qi is not in a hurry, people who learn martial arts are better than ordinary people in terms of hearing and hearing. Since Hao Yi said so, it is naturally correct.

Sure enough, not long after, I saw two figures of Li Yun and Jing Yan approaching in the dark place of the street.

"Master, you're back. A young master has been waiting here for a long time." When Yuan Wu saw Li Yun, his drowsiness disappeared instantly.He jumped up and rushed towards Li Yun without thinking.

Li Yun was taken aback for a moment, and then saw Jiang Qi not far away, a trace of helplessness flashed in his eyes, it was just a chance meeting, but this person seemed to be entangled, as far as he knew, the Jiang family in Weicheng was a century-old family, and Jiang Qi The old man used to be the emperor's teacher, and he regarded himself as noble, because he was displeased with the darkness of the court today, and no one complained about the suffering of the people, so angrily, he recalled all the family members who were officials in the court, and declared to the outside world that the court was not clear for a day, The Jiang family will not leave for a day.At that time, although the capital of the current dynasty went to pay homage twice, they were often met behind closed doors. Emperor Ming Zhao was furious and issued an imperial decree. One day, the descendants of the Jiang family were not allowed to be officials.

This matter is so big that there are many discussions among scholars. Li Yun has heard of it, and according to his opinion, what Mr. Jiang did is wise. A wise man, no more than this.

"Yuan Wu, it's late at night, take your brother back to the room to rest!" Li Yun instructed Yuan Wu, then turned to Jing Yan, who seemed to be absent-minded: "Young monk, you also go back to the room, and I will handle this matter." .”

"En!" Jing Yan's mind was in turmoil at this moment, and he didn't have the heart to think about other things. Seeing Li Yun's words, he also nodded, and followed Yuan Wu into the inn.

"Sir, you're back. The mere gift is not a respect." Seeing Li Yun walk in, Jiang Qi hurried up to him, and made a move behind him to ask Er Qiao to present the gift.

Li Yun shook his head with a chuckle, walked past Jiang Qi, and stopped when he reached the table where Yuan Wen was sleeping soundly before. He reached out and picked up the teapot beside him, poured two cups of tea, and signaled Jiang Qi to come over.

"Please!"

Seeing this, Jiang Qi walked over without hesitation, and sat down opposite Li Yun. Although the tea was cold, it did not hinder his good mood at the moment.

"The Jiang family has no intention of becoming an official, and we just met by chance, so why must Mr. Jiang be so persistent?"

"Although I, the Jiang family, have a heart for the matter of the Li family, the court is ultimately powerless and unable to help. My grandfather said it was a great regret. Mr. fled all the way, without a single soldier or blade in his hands. His strength is only mediocre. My grandfather once said that my husband is very wise. It is a pity in my life not to be able to make friends with my husband. I heard that I have been friends with my husband for a long time. I am secretly happy to see you today. If you offend me Please don’t be offended, sir.” Jiang Qi looked at Li Yun excitedly, if it wasn’t for his father’s disapproval, he might have gone to search for Li Yun with the secret guard at home, but he didn’t expect to see the real person now, so what? The excitement is beyond words.

"Excuse me, I'm nothing more than an ordinary person. It's late at night, Mr. Jiang should go back early!" Hearing Jiang Qi's words, Li Yun didn't react in the slightest. He just put down the teacup in his hand, stood up, and wanted to ready to leave.

It's just... how could Jiang Qi give up so easily after finally waiting for Li Yun?He stood in front of Li Yun without hesitation at all, with a sincere and admiring face.

"Sir, can I invite you to stay in the mansion for a while. I..."

Li Yun stretched out his hand and stopped Jiang Qi's unfinished words, "Thank you Mr. Jiang for your kindness, but I have something important to do and I can't delay it. I hope Mr. Jiang will not be offended. Besides, my status is delicate now, so the Jiang family should not come near me." Good job, so as not to bring disaster to Chi Yu. Regret is too late. Life is hard to find a confidant. If this happens, I will definitely go to Jiang’s house to meet Mr. Jiang, but the timing is not right now, so it’s better not to add to the trouble. Mr. Jiang, Please come back!"

After Li Yun finished speaking, he turned and left without waiting for Jiang Qi to speak again.

Jiang Qi looked at Li Yun's back with complicated eyes. As a descendant of the Jiang family, he has always been praised by others, and he has never encountered so much indifference and rejection like today, but what Li Yun said, although few A few words, but in terms of emotion and reason, they were all for the Jiang family's sake. He was really powerless to refute, and since the people had already left and the play was over, Jiang Qi had no choice but to turn around and motioned for the two to leave.

But in an instant, people have left, the tea is cold, and only a dying lamp is cold and silent.

Xiaoer, who was originally huddled in a corner and fell into a doze at some point, suddenly woke up, looked around, saw that there was no one around, muttered a few words, approached the remnant lamp, the wind picked up, the candle went out, and the night fell silent.
