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

Tang Seng has already seen the essence of this world. As long as you are strong enough, no matter what you have done before, as long as you surrender to Buddhism or Heaven, you can instantly obtain a status that matches your strength.

If you don't have strength, even if you do good deeds and do many great things that benefit the Three Realms, you won't gain any status.

So Tang Seng was very clear about Pilanpo Bodhisattva's thoughts. Didn't he just like the strength of this centipede spirit and wanted to catch him back as his subordinate?

And at this moment, compared with the original book, it is more in line with Pilanpo Bodhisattva's expectations.

In the original book, she subdued Centipede Jing, so Centipede Jing might have some complaints about her.

But at this moment, the centipede was subdued abruptly by Monkey King, but she appeared in time to rescue the centipede, so that the centipede was completely loyal to her and grateful.

Everything Sun Wukong did would basically make a wedding dress for this Pilanpo Bodhisattva.

According to Tang Seng's personality, how could Bodhisattva Pilanpo take advantage of his apprentice for nothing?

So when he saw Pilanpo Bodhisattva appearing, Tang Seng couldn't sit still, and hurried out, he wanted to compete with Bodhisattva.

Looking at Pilanpo Bodhisattva in front of him, Tang Seng nodded slightly and then said, "The Bodhisattva has come here from afar, what can I do?"

Looking at Tang Seng in front of him, Pilanpo Bodhisattva nodded: "As expected of a holy son of Buddhism, the demeanor of this body is really extraordinary." Then Pilanpo Bodhisattva said kindly with a smile.

"I'm here to subdue this centipede spirit and take him to my Qianhua Cave in Ziyun Mountain to be a gatekeeper."

Tang Monk frowned and said, "So the purpose of the Bodhisattva's coming here is to get this centipede spirit."

"Is it troublesome now? It's not."

Hearing this, Pilanpo Bodhisattva was stunned for a moment, and then asked suspiciously: "Tang Monk, what do you mean by this? Now that the centipede spirit has been subdued, what's the trouble?"

Tang Seng shook his head and said: "The Bodhisattva doesn't know something. The centipede spirit just poisoned the poor monk. Although the poor monk relied on his own physique to carry it, but in fact his body was already empty, so the poor monk originally planned to Use this centipede essence as a raw material to refine a pair of elixir to nourish your body, but the Bodhisattva also took a liking to this centipede essence, shouldn't this be troublesome?"

Pilan Po Bodhisattva was stunned, he looked at Tang Seng in disbelief, and said in a daze, "Tang Seng, what are you talking about, you want to use him to make medicine."

Tang Seng nodded his head as a matter of course and said: "That's right, since he dared to poison Tang Seng, why can't the poor monk use him to make medicine? Every peck and drink will have karma, Bodhisattva, are you right?"

Now Pilan Po Bodhisattva's face became gloomy, and he said, "Tang Monk, don't you know the Buddhist precepts? The first commandment is killing and the second commandment is meat, you are going to violate the precepts."

Hearing this, Tang Seng looked at Pilanpo Bodhisattva in amazement, and exaggeratedly said: "Bodhisattva, you can't wrong me, I don't have any violation of the precepts, I just want to use him to practice The elixir is just for the body, Bodhisattva, don't say that you have never taken the elixir."

Hearing this, Bodhisattva Pilanpo frowned and said, "Since you use him to refine medicine, what is the difference between killing animals and eating meat?"

"If you list it as a pill, isn't he not him? You are completely changing the concept secretly."

Hearing this, Tang Seng didn't panic in the slightest, but instead said: "Bodhisattva, let me ask you first, have you ever taken elixir?"

Pilanpo Bodhisattva frowned, but still nodded.

Now Tang Seng showed a smile and continued: "Since you have taken the elixir, don't you also commit the crime of killing and the precept of eating meat?"

"Nonsense, the elixirs I take are all made of various elixir. When will I commit the crime of killing and the precept of eating meat?"

"Bodhisattva, you are being a bit of a nonsense. Tell me about those elixir, don't they all have life? If you pick it and refine it into a elixir, isn't it a crime of killing?"

"And don't forget, aren't those elixirs themselves the bodies of these elixirs? What's the difference if you take their bodies and refine them into elixirs, and I refine this centipede into elixirs?"

"Bodhisattva, don't forget that my Buddhism emphasizes the equality of all beings. Don't you think the life of the centipede is much more valuable than the life of the flowers and plants?"

"If you really feel that there is a difference, how do you understand the meaning of equality for all beings?"

"If you don't feel that all beings are equal, what face do you have to be a Bodhisattva?"

At the end, Tang Seng said the hardest words with a smile.

Pilan Po Bodhisattva was a little stunned by Tang Seng's continuous cannonball, and didn't know what to say to refute for a while.

She knew very well that Tang Seng was talking nonsense, but she couldn't think of enough convincing words to refute, which really pissed her off.

After being silent for a while, she was about to speak, but Tang Seng spoke first.

"Bodhisattva, I know that you are convinced by my words."

"However, Bodhisattva, what you said is also reasonable. I suddenly felt that this centipede spirit is extremely ugly. If I refine him into a elixir, let alone make up my deficient body, it will poison me to death. , so I decided to give up refining pills."

Hearing this, the expression on Pilanpo Bodhisattva's face changed a little. Just as he was about to speak, the centipede spirit asked her to take him back to be the gatekeeper.

But before she could speak, Tang Seng said again: "But Bodhisattva, you want to take him back to your Qianhua Cave in Ziyun Mountain to guard the gate. I have no objection to that, but you should pay attention to first come, first served in everything. How can this centipede spirit say it? My apprentice's defeated general, so his body and his whole body are my apprentice's spoils of war, and the Bodhisattva wants to take him away without saying a word, isn't it suspected of robbing other people's property?"

"In this way, the bodhisattva has violated more than two precepts."

Hearing Tang Seng's words, Pilanpo Bodhisattva completely reacted. She thought that Tang Seng was a model of Buddhism with the mission of love and peace.

But he didn't expect Tang Seng to be a hooligan at heart.

Now he finally saw the essence of Tang Seng clearly, so he didn't bother to continue to entangle with Tang Seng, and after thinking about it, he spoke directly.

"Okay, Tang Seng, I also understand what you mean very well. I really want to take the centipede spirit back to my Qianhua Cave in Ziyun Mountain to guard the gate and become my subordinate of Qianhua Cave. You can just make the conditions, how can I do it?" Let me take him?"

Hearing this, the corner of Tang Seng's mouth curled up into a smile. It would have been better if it had been like this earlier, and it would be a waste of time to argue with him before.
