Journey to the West begins with a full-level Tang monk

Chapter 385 Debating with the Centipede
After pretending to negotiate with Xiao Dao Tong pretending to be Sun Wukong, Xiao Dao Tong ran in and called out the centipede spirit.

Centipede Jing is a burly man, wearing a Taoist robe at this time, no matter how you look at it, it looks a bit nondescript, but Tang Seng didn't point it out, but after dismounting from the horse and performing a Buddhist ceremony, he smiled and said: "The poor monk is Dongtu The monk who came from the Tang Dynasty and wanted to go to the west to learn scriptures, now passes through your place, and it is getting late, if you want to spend a night in Guiguan, please ask the host to agree."

"It turned out to be an eminent monk from the Tang Dynasty. The eminent monk is too polite. The eminent monk is contemptuous of his neighbors. It is an honor to be contemptuous. Please come in, eminent monk."

The centipede essence was very straightforward, without dragging its feet at all, and directly brought Tang Seng into the Taoist temple.

After bringing Tang Monk to the Taoist temple to sit down, Centipede Jing waved his hand and asked the Taoist boy pretending to be Monkey King to serve tea.

Monkey King pretending to be a Daoist came up with a pot of tea, poured tea for several people, and put the teacups in front of Tang Seng.

Then because the Dao boy played by Sun Wukong at the moment has his back facing the centipede spirit, so Sun Wukong winked for a while, indicating that there is something strange in Tang Monk's tea.

Tang Seng, who is familiar with the plot, is naturally very clear that the centipede essence has poisoned the tea. Although Tang Seng has a cultivation base at the moment, Tang Seng will not drink poisonous tea. Who knows what the poison is in it.

At this time, Centipede Jing said: "The eminent monk came from the east and traveled westward all the way. He must have encountered a lot of strange things."

Tang Seng was stunned for a moment, then nodded, and said as if recalling: "That's right, I met all kinds of people and a lot of monsters on this journey westward."

"This journey is full of hardships and obstacles, but we are extremely sincere learners, how can we be blocked by these small difficulties? These are trivial things."

Hearing this, Centipede nodded and paused for a while, then suddenly asked: "Has the eminent monk met seven spiders before?"

Hearing this, Sun Wukong Zhu Bajiesha monk was stunned for a moment, because they had never seen the spider spirit before, so they didn't know about it, but at this time Tang Seng nodded and spoke bluntly.

"The Taoist master is really good at predicting things. That's right. When I passed by Pansi Cave a few days ago, I met a few spider spirits that harmed the common people. The poor monk insisted on saving all sentient beings. How could he tolerate their behavior?" If there are monsters left in the world, even if the seven spider spirits are directly executed on the spot, it can be said that it will eliminate peace and restore justice to the world."

Listening to Tang Seng's indifferent words, the centipede spirit transformed into an old Taoist clenched his fists tightly in his sleeves, staring at Tang Seng, wishing to spit out fire.

One must know that these seven spider spirits are inextricably linked with him, so how could he watch the seven spider spirits disappear like this?

But it was already too late, Tang Seng struck so hard and fast that the spider spirit had no room to escape. He was heartbroken when he heard the news.

Now that Tang Seng, the murderer who killed the spider spirit, was right in front of him, the centipede spirit wished he could do it right away and cut Tang Seng to pieces to relieve his hatred.

But after he took a deep breath, he suppressed the impulse in his heart, because he was very aware of his weight.

He had also heard other monsters talk about Tang Seng before, and a group of people said that Tang Seng had a supernatural apprentice named Sun Wukong, who was the Monkey King who caused a disturbance in the Heavenly Palace before.

Centipede Jing knew very well that he was definitely not the opponent of the Monkey King, so he hoped to use this method to plot and attack Tang Seng and his group, and then he would have a good chance of winning.

It is precisely because the centipede has this cautious character that he has been able to live a nourishing life until now, instead of being slain by others halfway like other monsters.

So Centipede Jing squeezed out a smile after suppressing the emotions in his heart, and asked, "Eminent Monk, I have a question, I don't know if I should say it or not."

Tang Seng smiled slightly: "It's okay to say, Taoist priest."

The centipede nodded, and then asked: "In the eyes of the eminent monk, is this monster good or evil? Or is it that in the eyes of the eminent monk, all monsters deserve to die and are evil?"

Tang Seng pretended to think carefully when he heard the words, then looked at the centipede and said, "Why did the Taoist priest say that? Since this monster is already a monster, it is naturally evil, so how can it be good?"

"Among monsters, strength is paramount, bullying the weak and wantonly killing human beings. These kinds of crimes are unspeakable. Accidents, we practitioners should kill monsters completely when we see them, without leaving a trace."

"Only in this way can we show the demeanor of our generation of practitioners and protect our human race."

What Tang Seng said was serious, but Centipede Jing sounded extremely harsh. With a hint of sneer on his face, he looked at Tang Seng and said.

"Then eminent monk, I want to ask you again, is there a distinction between good and evil among human beings?"

Tang Seng nodded and said, "Naturally there is a distinction between good and evil. If a person has kindness in his heart, he will naturally do good deeds. If a person has no kindness in his heart and commits crimes, he is naturally a wicked person."

The centipede nodded when he heard the words, and then asked another question: "Eminent monk, let me ask you again, it is feasible for human beings to slaughter animals wantonly and eat their meat, so why is it not feasible for monsters to eat humans instead?" of it."

"And since human beings are divided into good and evil because of what they do, why are monsters inherently evil?"

"Is the eminent monk's remarks too biased?"

Tang Seng couldn't help laughing when he heard this. He said what he said just now, mainly because he wanted to stimulate the centipede.

But he didn't expect the centipede spirit to be so tolerant, and he planned to have a debate with him.

So Tang Seng said directly: "Master Dao, what you said is unreasonable. You and I are both human beings. Naturally, we have to consider issues from the perspective of human beings. This monster cannibal is the enemy of our human race. Whether he is good or evil, it doesn't matter, he is the enemy of our clan."

"As for the distinction between good and evil among the human race, it is based on etiquette, morality, and deeds to distinguish among monsters. What about etiquette?"

"Furthermore, it is right to say that we are all human races, and it is right for human races to eat animals. If we are monster races, then it is also right for demon races to eat people. It's just a matter of reason."

"As a human race, you and I should consider it from the human race's point of view."

"You and I are not saints, so naturally we can't look at everything in a holy way."

"What the Taoist priest saw, is what the poor monk said makes sense?"

Centipede Jing was taken aback when he heard Tang Seng's words, he was a little puzzled now.

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 that what Tang Seng said seemed very reasonable in his heart.

So the centipede blushed, not knowing what to say.
