Chapter 27 Devil's Eye
Galan is trapped in a chaotic world.
He saw a green forest full of vitality. Suddenly, a raging fire surrounded the green area, and the fire destroyed all vitality. Only this green area grew freely in the fire. He could even see the stems of the green leaves and the crystal clear water droplets on it.
The green leaves sway in the wind, and the water droplets dance in the wind. Gradually, the water droplets turn into a charming face, the skin is like snow and nose is like a cone, under the dark eyebrows, the blue eyes are like a dream, the smile is like a flower, pure and flawless. Suddenly, the heat waves pounced on, the flames rolled, and the smile turned into a shrill cry, "Galan, Galan..."
Galan tried hard to grab and grab, trying to keep the familiar face, but the water droplets had turned into a wisp of water vapor and the smoke disappeared.
"Galan..." The fire was burning, the green world disappeared little by little, and countless crying came from all directions.
Galan collapsed in the crying, the fire swallowed the green, turned into a sea of blood, and thousands of evil spirits and ghosts roared out.
"Do you dare to be evil?" The golden light in the sky was full of golden light, and the grand and peaceful Brahma sing resounded throughout the world. "Good man, you should know now that the body of the Tathagata is firm and hard to be destroyed for countless kalpas. The body of the human and heavenly beings is not terrifying, not omnivorous, not omnivorous, the body of the Tathagata is not the body, not born or destroyed, not practice, not practice, not practice, not practice, not boundless, without footprints. Ignorance and invisibility are pure, not shaken, not sensation, not dwelling, not doing, not doing, not doing, not doing, not doing, not doing, not doing, not doing, not doing, not doing, not doing, not doing, not doing, not doing, not doing, not doing, not doing, not doing, not doing, not thinking, not doing, not doing, not thinking, not thinking, not count, inconceivable..."
The wind is howling, the wolf is howling, and under the moonlight, the sea of sand stirs up shocking waves.
A golden wolf looked at the moon and roared in anger, and rose in the air. The wolves were raging, like shadows. In an instant, a long sword was like a rainbow, and thunder struck down. The wind and clouds rose, the sky and the earth collapsed, and the demons danced in the darkness, and the wolves fell.
The golden wolf roared to the sky and turned into a long sword, intending to kill all the creatures in the world with one sword.
Suddenly, a Buddha light fell from the sky, tearing apart the darkness in an instant, the sword collapsed, and turned into the Buddha light of thousands of feet. The Buddha's voice sounded, "The mind is equal, non-existent, and there is. Nothing goes, comes and goes, and comes. It is neither destroyed nor destroyed. It is not extinct and is the master. It is neither existent nor non-conscious. It is not enlightenment and non-contemplation. It is neither word nor non-concentration. It is not visible and see. It is not a place and a place. It is no house and a house. It is no blind and ignorance. It is also quiet. It is nothing, it is not accepting or giving..."
"Galan..." Buddha was calling him.
"Galan..." The eighteen guardian gods were calling him.
"Galan..." his mother was calling him.
"Galan..." Master was calling him.
"Galan..." One by one, the dead robes were calling him.
"Galan..." Buyi, Shi Penglai, Ashina Hebao... gray-haired middle-aged man, white-clothed young woman... familiar and unfamiliar faces came one after another, calling out.
I don’t wake up, I don’t want to wake up, I don’t want to wake up, I want to go home, Buddha, please use the boundless magic power and send me home.
Time flies, life is in the cycle of reincarnation, and Galan is singing loudly, "No one knows, no one knows, no one sees, no one sees, neither acts nor non-action, neither worldly nor worldly, neither do nor do, neither rely on nor do, neither rely on, neither four elements, neither cause nor non-cause, neither sentient beings nor non-sentient beings, neither monks nor Brahmins, masters, neither body nor body, cannot be preached. Excluding one Dharma image cannot be counted. When Prajna is not Prajna, the Tathagata Dharma body all achieves such infinite subtle merits..."
As time flies, time passes, and in an instant, he enters the path of reincarnation of life. It is a colorful world. He comes from here and then returns home from here. His heart calms down. His heart beats slowly and the sound of beating becomes smaller and smaller. Gradually, his soul slowly floats out of his body and disappears like a meteor.
I went home. Galan closed her eyes and entered the dazzling sea of stars. Her consciousness dissipated little by little, and finally turned into invisible.

"Galan..." The kind, gentle, gentle call sounded over and over again, and a trace of it penetrated into the soul and echoed in the vast and endless sea of heart.
Galan's consciousness returned little by little. Slowly, he saw a familiar face, with skin like snow and nose like a cone, curved dark eyebrows, pure green eyes, and sweet smile. He tried hard to find memories, and tried hard to struggle out of the chaos.
"Ao..." Suddenly, a big furry head suddenly appeared in front of Jialan's eyes, like a thunderclap, bombing the chaotic world into powder all over the sky, and memories suddenly rushed into Jialan's mind like a tide.
Galanru fell into hell and closed her eyes in pain. This is not my home, not my world. Buddha, you lied to me, why did you lied to me?
"Galan..." Pianpian shouted excitedly, laughing, tears falling like rain.
"Aoao..." Blizzard roared continuously, jumping down and excitedly.
"Brother..." A young child voice sounded slowly and hard, and then a pair of delicate little hands hugged Galan's face, "Brother, wake up, wake up."
Tears slowly rolled out of Galan's eyes and dripped quietly along his cheeks.
He opened his eyes and saw Xue'er's innocent little face. A trace of concern was rarely revealed in his dull and confused eyes.
"Xue'er." Galan squeezed out a smile and shouted with difficulty.
Xueer lowered her head, her white and tender little face pressed against Galan's thick beard, and said word by word, "Big brother, wake up, come."
"Ao" Blizzard got angry, and arched his big head hard, pushing Xue'er aside, stretched out his long tongue, and licked Galan's face wildly.
Pianpian jumped onto the felt bed excitedly and broke Galan. She was so anxious that she pushed Blizzard's head and shouted anxiously, "No, don't hurt him." Blizzard didn't hear her scolding, and kicked her hind legs and was about to pounce on the bed. Pianpian was frightened, and her petite body immediately crawled on Galan's body. Blizzard didn't care much, and her majestic body jumped onto Pianpian's back with a long tongue, and continued to suck and lick Galan's face intimately.
"Blizzard..." Galan slowly raised his arm and gently stroked Blizzard's long neck hair, "Good brother."
Blizzard was crazy for a while, and gradually calmed down under Jialan's caress. Then he jumped to the ground with unsatisfactory feelings. Pianpian could not bear its weight and was pressed down, but as a result, each person and a mastiff were pressed on Jialan. Pianpian's face turned pale and he jumped up, lifting up the fur cloak to check Jialan's injuries.
"Don't worry, the external injuries are not serious, and the internal injuries are much better." Jialan comforted with a smile, and then saw Pianpian's face haggard and his eyes were red. He knew that she was too tired of serving day and night, "Thank you for your hard work, thank you."
Pianpian shook his hand in shame and uneasy.
"I'm hungry," said Galan, "cut some lamb for me."
Pianpian agreed and turned around and was about to leave, but was stopped by Galan again, "Pianpian, where are we now? How are the injuries of Brother Xiong Ba and the others?"
"We are in the devil's eyes." Pianpeng said, "The Lord of the Shou said that General Black and the other three have no worries about their lives."
"When did you arrive?" Galan asked, "Has Achaeh pursued him?"
"We arrived at the Devil's Eye three days ago. After a night, the garrison leader came with a camel team. He heard from the garrison leader that Ah Chailu went back halfway and did not dare to go deep into the Devil's Eye."
"I've been in a coma for four days?" Jialan sighed secretly and waved at Pianpian, "Go and tell the master of the garrison that I'm awake."

The common man came in a hurry. Asina Hebao and Shi Penglai also rushed over after hearing the news.
Galan sat on the felt bed, holding a lamb leg in his hand, slashing the sword in a row, and eating it voraciously.
The three of them smiled happily. You said, "I said, I said, and I said," and I said, "About the past few days." Yang Yuan, the Tianma guard, and the great witch from Ziyuntian, led the camel team to continue to walk to the north of the Silk Road. Buyi and He Bao took the camel horse back to the rescue camel horse once had a contact with the pursuit team of Achai Lu, and then they learned that Jia Lan had taken the men to the devil's eyes.
"How do you know there is food here?" Buyi asked curiously.
"I've been here once in spring." Galan said, "There was a thief here who robbed the Tianma River area. I happened to be hit by me and chased him all the way."
"You killed the sand wolf?" He Bao looked at him in surprise, outside his finger tent, "The bones in the ghost's eyes are all the dead souls under your knife? Have you killed them all?"
"No chickens and dogs are left." Galan said lightly, "The sandstorm helped me, otherwise it would be difficult to pull them out."
"There is a lot of wealth in the Sand Wolf's Treasure Cave." He Bao smiled, "The things you can't take away will be cheaper this time."
Jialan smiled and said, "Take all those who can be taken away. This time I have implicated you, and Ah Chailu will definitely take revenge. In the short term, you can't go back to Ziyuntian again. This thing is my compensation for you."
"Thank you brothers," He Bao said happily, "This money is enough for Ziyuntian's brothers to spend two years carefree. I'll thank them on their behalf."
Galan shook his hand distractedly, "Get off to the Dongwo. Their injuries are quite serious. It is not suitable for recuperation here, and there are not enough medicinal materials. You must rush to the Dongwo as quickly as possible."
Buyi looked at Galan worriedly, "Can your body hold on?"
Shi Penglai also advised, "There is no need to rush at this moment. If old and new injuries occur together, this life will be in danger."
"You underestimate him too much." He Bao said, "Thousands of troops and horses can't stop him. Can a few Achaew take his life? It's okay, Jialan said, let's go, I'll ask someone to clean up now." As he said, he got up and went out of the tent, he joked, "This is the devil's eyes, not the winter nest. A sandstorm can kill our lives. It's better to leave quickly."
Buyi and Shi Penglai were suddenly heartbroken when they remembered the horror of the devil's eyes.
"Since that's the case, I'll ask someone to clean up and set off immediately." Shi Penglai hurriedly left with He Bao.
Jialan threw most of the lamb leg to Blizzard, then took the hand towel handed over by Pianpian, and sighed while wiping, "Brother Buyi shouldn't stay here for me. After the Ziyuntian battle, the medicinal materials we brought were almost exhausted, and the climate here was extremely harsh, and they might take their lives at any time."
"Your situation was more dangerous than them." Buyi asked with concern, "Are you sure you can walk?"
"I'm an old injury, and overwork will relapse, and you don't know." Jialan smiled and said, "It's okay. When you arrive in the winter nest, find some good medicine and take a few more days off."
The common man nodded slightly, twisted his beard and pondered, and he wanted to speak but stopped.
"Is it about the Xue family?" Jialan asked on his own initiative, "Did Brother Buyi know what did you know?"
"Xue Daoheng's death may be the same as the case of Gao Feng and He Ruobi."
Jialan smiled bitterly, "So that's it. It's not that the old coach didn't entrust the Northwest confidants to secretly take care of him."
"The royal affairs are really terrible." Buyi shook his head and sighed, "When the crown prince was deposed, hundreds of people were implicated; when the crown prince was killed, another group of people were killed and attacked; after that, the aftermath was endless, and even the meritorious ministers such as Gao Jin and He Ruobi could not escape death. I thought that after Gao Jin and He Ruobi, the storm had ended, but unexpectedly, it caused another wave and dragged Xue Daoheng and other great scholars into hell."
"Anyone who is involved in the prince cannot escape this storm." Galan sighed, "Don't make any noise about this matter, so as not to cause us trouble."
"I don't have much trouble, but you..." Buyi looked at Jialan and frowned and said, "The Xue family is headed by Xue Deyin, who was once the writer Zuolang of this dynasty. This man looks cautious, but the Chen Mansion is very deep and is not an ordinary person. In addition, there is another person in charge of their family, Mrs. Sima, the seventh wife of Xue Daoheng. This wife is from the Sima family of Hanoi, and her status in the Xue family is second only to Xue Daoheng's wife Cui. Cui was prematurely dead, and the inner palace of the Xue family has always been under the control of this Sima family. This Sima is very concerned about you and has asked me several times about your origin. Obviously, she has ulterior motives."
Galan smiled, "What is my origin? She wanted to know, tell her that. I used to be an official slave, but now I am a garrison. To her, there is no value for her."
Buyi smiled and nodded. If there was any special place in Jialan's identity, Laolang Mansion would definitely know. In the northwest, how many things can be hidden from Laolang Mansion?
"The Sima family in Henei has been a family of talents since the Han and Jin Dynasties. It is a prominent family that has been passed down through classics. Although it cannot be compared with the Cui family in Shandong, it is enough to be comparable to the four surnames of Wang, Lu, Li, Zheng, and Wei, Pei, Liu, Du, Yang and Xue from Guanzhong." Buyi's words revealed his respect and admiration for the high clan of Zhongtu. "Mrs. Sima humbly asked, and he has the relationship with the old commander of the Xue family. I can't deliberately hide it, so I tell you the truth. Please forgive me."
"It's okay, Brother Buyi is out." Jia Lan smiled, "I think Brother Buyi has guessed the intention of Mrs. Sima and Dalang of the Xue family for help. I wonder if Brother Buyi has the intention to help?"
The common man's expression gradually became solemn, and he was speechless for a while.
Who doesn’t want to cling to wealthy families in China today? For common people and merchants, clinging to wealthy families is equivalent to gaining benefits, while for scholars, clinging to wealthy families is equivalent to opening the door to the career of the officialdom. If bureaucrats of the level of commoners have the opportunity to meet wealthy families and get their care, then their career will definitely be further advanced, and they can even be transferred from the Western Land, to wealthy counties or to serve as officials in the capital, which is a major event that can change their destiny.
Xue Daoheng comes from the Xue family in Hedong. He is a famous scholar in the Middle Land today. Although his wife and children are in trouble now, Xue Daoheng's relatives, friends, disciples and old friends are everywhere. In addition, the wealthy and prominent families in the middle, such as the Cui family in Hebei and the Sima family in Henoi, have a marriage relationship with him. It can be imagined that when the time comes, even if Xue Daoheng's grievances cannot be cleared, his wife and children will definitely return to Middle Land, and his children will definitely lift the ban and re-enter the official career.
Rescuing the Xue family at this time is equivalent to providing timely help. The Xue family will definitely remember and repay the grace of living. The profits will be huge in the future, which is unimaginable.
For example, the Northwest Army soldiers like Jialan and Buyi, no matter how many achievements they have made throughout their lives, if there are no wealthy families as their backers, at most they will be the sixth-rank lieutenant who is the Yingyang Mansion. On the contrary, if there is a big backer, they can be the fifth-rank lieutenant General Yingyang Mansion, or even the fourth-rank Wu Ben Mansion. As for the third-rank twelve guards and the third-rank twelve guards, it will be out of reach, and it is not something that people like their background can hope for.
"I tentatively asked about their life in Qiemo over the past two years, and what happened before and after this escape." Buyi said, "The Dalang of the Xue family and Mrs. Sima's words were flickering, and they did not tell the truth. I felt that someone in the Northwest Army was secretly taking care of them. For this attack on Qiemo, they were able to evacuate in time because Qiemo Yingyang Mansion specially sent someone to report the news and sent a fire guard to protect it. If the fire guard had not sacrificed his life to save him, they would not have escaped Qiemo Shui and had been captured by Achai."
Buyi looked at Jia Lan at this point, "We have been with Lao Shuai, and have heard Lao Shuai's admiration for Mr. Xue with his own ears, and have also seen the correspondence between Lao Shuai and Mr. Xue with his own eyes. With their relationship and his personality, it is impossible for Lao Shuai to ignore the sufferings of Mr. Xue's family. If Lao Shuai wants to take care of Mr. Xue's wife and children, he will definitely entrust him to the two generals Feng Xiaoci and Wang Wei, and the two generals will definitely find us."
"What do you mean is that the reason why the old coach didn't interfere is because someone else in Chang'an is taking care of Mr. Xue's wife and children?" Jia Lan asked.
"It should be like this." Buyi said, "What is strange is that Mrs. Sima is particularly concerned about you and vaguely reveals the intention of letting us protect the Xue family. If we have not figured out the secret hidden here, I don't want to interfere in this matter. I plan to hand them over to Shanshan Yingyang Mansion directly."
At this time, Blizzard's roar came from outside the tent. Gengpeng hurriedly opened the curtain, "Jun Xue Dalangjun and Mrs. Sima are here."
Jialan smiled and nodded at Buyi, "I'll hear what they say. If it affects our plans, then according to Brother Buyi's intention, he will never interfere randomly."
