Chapter 385: Debating with the Centipede Spirit
After pretending to negotiate with Xiao Daotong pretended to be Sun Wukong, Xiao Daotong ran in and called the centipede spirit out.
Cinnipede Jing is a sturdy man, wearing a Taoist robe at this time, no matter how you look at it, it is a little nondescript, but Tang Seng did not break it, but after dismounting and performing a Buddhist ceremony, he smiled and said: "The poor monk is from the Tang Dynasty in the east of the country, and he wants to go to the west to learn the scriptures. ”
"It turned out to be a monk from the Tang Dynasty, the monk was polite, the monk was contemptuous, it was an honor to be contemptible, and the monk invited in. ”
The centipede essence was very simple, not dragging mud and water at all, and directly brought Tang Seng into the Taoist temple.
After taking Tang Seng to the Taoist temple to sit down, the centipede spirit waved his hand and asked the Taoist boy pretended to be Sun Wukong serve tea.
Sun Wukong pretended to be a Taoist boy who came up with a pot of tea, poured tea for several people, and put the teacup in front of Tang Seng.
And then because the Taoist boy played by Sun Wukong at this moment was facing away from the centipede essence, Sun Wukong squeezed his eyebrows for a while, signaling that Tang Seng's tea was abnormal.
Tang Seng, who is familiar with the plot, naturally knows very well that the centipede essence is poisoned in the tea, although Tang Seng has cultivation at the moment, but Tang Seng will not drink poisonous tea, who knows what the poison is.
At this time, the centipede spirit spoke: "The monk came from the east, all the way to the west, must have encountered a lot of strange things. ”
Tang Seng was stunned for a moment when he heard this, then nodded, and said as if reminiscing: "That's right, this westward journey can be regarded as meeting all kinds of people, and I have also met a lot of monsters. ”
This journey can be said to be full of difficulties and obstacles, but the people of my generation who have learned from the experience are extremely sincere, how can they be hindered by these small difficulties? These are just small things. ”
Hearing this, the centipede spirit nodded and paused, then suddenly asked, "Did the senior monk encounter seven spider spirits before?"
Hearing this, Monkey King Zhu Bajie Sha Monk was stunned for a moment, because they had not seen the trace of the spider spirit before, so they didn't know, but at this time, Tang Seng nodded and said bluntly.
"The Taoist is really like a god, that's right, a few days ago when I passed by the Pansi Cave, I encountered a few spider spirits that plagued the common people, the poor monk upheld the mind of purifying all sentient beings, how could he tolerate them to remain in the world, even if the seven spider spirits were directly corrected on the spot, it can be said that the peace was cleared and justice was returned to the world. “
Listening to Tang Seng's indifferent words, the fist hidden in the sleeve of the old Taoist transformed by the centipede essence was already clenched tightly, and his eyes were staring at Tang Seng, eager to spew fire.
You must know that these seven spider spirits are inseparable from him, how can he watch the seven spider spirits disappear like this?
But it was already too late, Tang Seng was too ruthless and too fast, so that the spider spirit had no room to escape, and he was heartbroken when he knew the news.
Now Tang Seng, the murderer of the spider spirit, is in front of him, and the centipede spirit can't wait to do it immediately, cutting Tang Seng with a thousand knives to relieve the hatred in his heart.
But after he took a deep breath, he suppressed the impulse in his heart, because he knew very well in his heart that he was two pounds.
Previously, he had also heard other monsters talk about Tang Seng, and the group said that Tang Seng had a powerful apprentice named Sun Wukong by his side, and he was the Monkey King who made trouble in the Heavenly Palace.
The centipede spirit knew very well that he was definitely not the opponent of the Monkey King, so he hoped to use this method to plot a sneak attack on Tang Seng and a group of people, and then he would have enough chances to win.
It is precisely because of the cautious character of the centipede spirit that he can live a very nourishing life until now, instead of being subdued and eliminated by others halfway like other monsters.
Therefore, after suppressing the emotions in his heart, the centipede spirit squeezed out a smile and asked, "Senior monk, I have a question that I don't know whether to talk about or not. ”
Tang Seng smiled slightly: "Dao Chang, but it doesn't hurt to say it." ”
The centipede spirit nodded, and then asked, "In the eyes of the monks, is there a difference between good and evil in this monster?" Or is it that in the eyes of the monks, as long as it is a demon, it should die, it is all evil." ”
Tang Seng pretended to think carefully when he heard this, and then looked at the centipede spirit and said, "Why did the Taoist say this? Since this monster is already a monster, it is naturally evil, how can it be good?"
"Among the monsters, the strength is supreme, bullying the weak and wantonly killing human beings, this kind of crime is too numerous to mention, accidents, we and other cultivators should kill it completely when they see a monster, leaving no trace. ”
"Only in this way can we show the demeanor of our generation of cultivators and protect our human race. ”
Tang Seng said a serious thing, but the centipede essence sounded extremely harsh, with a hint of ridicule on his face, he looked at Tang Seng and said.
"Then monk, I want to ask you again, there is good and evil among this human race. ”
Tang Seng nodded and said: "Naturally, there is a distinction between good and evil, if a person is good in his heart, doing good deeds is naturally good, if he has no good in his heart and is a traitor, then he is naturally a wicked person." ”
The centipede spirit nodded when he heard this, and then threw out a question: "Monk, let me ask you again, it is feasible for humans to wantonly slaughter animals and eat their flesh, so why is it not feasible for monsters to eat people in turn." ”
"And since human beings are divided into good and evil because of what he does, why are monsters inherently evil?"
"Is the monk's remark too biased?"
Tang Seng couldn't help but laugh when he heard this, he just said this, mainly to stimulate the centipede essence.
But he didn't expect this centipede spirit to be so enduring, and he planned to have a debate with him.
So Tang Seng said directly: "Dao Chief, what you said is unreasonable, you and I are both human beings, so we naturally have to consider the problem from the perspective of human beings, this monster cannibalism is the enemy of our human race, whether he is good or evil, what does it matter, they are all enemies of our race." ”
"As for the division of good and evil among the human race, it is based on etiquette and morality, and what is done to distinguish between demons, what kind of etiquette can we talk about?"
"Besides, it is right to say that we are all human races, and it is naturally right for the human race to eat animals, if we are a demon race, then the demon race is also right to eat people, just a truth. ”
"In his position, as a human race, you and I naturally have to consider it from the perspective of the human race. ”
"You and I are not saints, so naturally we can't look at everything in a public and holy way. ”
"What the Taoist chief saw, what the poor monk said makes sense?"
The centipede spirit couldn't help but be stunned for a moment when he heard Tang Seng's words, and he now had some doubts in his heart.
He raised these questions just to laugh at Tang Seng, but he didn't expect that after Tang Seng said this truth, although he didn't want to admit it very much, he actually felt in his heart that what Tang Seng said seemed to be very reasonable.
So the centipede blushed and didn't know what to say.
