But the question is... did he really get killed? was the decision to stay really that unwise?
If he chose to run away in order to protect himself, he might still get caught and killed.
Maybe he also had an injured leg and wasn't able to run, anyways.
I still believe that the soldier did not kill him, in fact was probably unable to do so, after looking into the eyes of this extraordinary monk.
What use is it to exert control over someone who clearly cannot be controlled?
(Kill = control)
Call me naive, but in my book the story continues like that: the soldier, overwhelmed by the monks behaviour and the aura of holiness that enveloped him, took down his weapon and said "master, I bow before your infinite wisdom, please show me the way"
