Chapter 812: PS of the Previous Chapter

PS of the Previous Chapter

(PS: Tang Seng is pedantic, but his words are not entirely unreasonable.

Whether Wukong killing the robbers counts as legitimate defense, Tang Monk actually explained it very clearly.

These are his original words: "Although they are robbers who cut off the road, even if they were taken to court, they shouldn't be sentenced to death; even if you have the means, you should only drive them away. How could you kill them all?"

"This is taking a life without cause; how can you be a monk?"

"A monk fears harming the life of an ant when sweeping the floor, and cherishes the moth in the gauze lamp."

"Why did you kill them all without distinguishing right from wrong? You have no heart of compassion or kindness at all!"

"It's fortunate that we are in the wilderness where no one investigates; if we were in a city, and someone bumped into you, you would also act violently, holding a stick and beating people to death. I would be the one to take the blame; how could I escape?"

Uh, the last sentence "How could I escape" should be the key to this passage.

Tang Monk is just afraid of taking responsibility; he is very cowardly.

But Tang Monk's two arguments are very reasonable: 1. They are robbers, that's true, but the crime is not punishable by death. Even if they went to the government office, they wouldn't be sentenced to death. You clearly have world-shaking supernatural powers and could injure without killing, yet you deliberately beat people to death; 2. You are a monk, my disciple, a "good person of ten lifetimes," and you should be as compassionate and non-violent as I am.

Your master, I, rely on the signboard of "good person of ten lifetimes" to make a living. You smashed the signboard, so how can I continue to mix in the world?

Tang Monk accidentally killing a robber must be legitimate defense, but Wukong has great supernatural powers; he had long since used excessive force.

This kind of behavior, whether it is human rules (law) or underworld retribution, is a great sin and carries karmic debt.

A good person of ten lifetimes cannot be tainted by karmic debt.

Of course, just because Tang Monk's words are reasonable doesn't mean the protagonist Seeing Xiao Yu Yu should learn from Tang Monk.

Whether it was killing He Xuan in Tianmen or beheading Xiuge on the Great Wall defense line, she was using the "Wukong style."

Tang Monk needs the persona and signboard of a good person of ten lifetimes; Seeing Xiao Yu Yu is not a "Virtuous Female Immortal.") ===== CHAPTER 813 =====
