Chapter 35 Education

"..." Tang Monk, who felt dizzy, finally opened his eyes easily, and then he smelled a strong smell of blood. His eyes were full of people, and he saw a head falling only about a foot away from him. The pair of eyes that had lost their focus were staring at him blankly, as if he was blaming him for lying on his side.

The scene before the coma appeared in my heart again, and Tang Seng almost fainted again.

"Don't dizzy anymore, otherwise the food will be cold." Feng Xue's voice came from her ears. Tang Monk held up and saw that the other party had set up a table with all kinds of food on it.

I just smelled the disgusting bloody smell, but I had no appetite for a moment.

"Oh, I'm just waking you up, I forgot to clean up." Feng Xue seemed to have reacted, and pointed her finger and used a cleaning technique. All the fishy smells within a radius of 1,000 meters were wiped out, and the bodies of the six bandits were shattered into pieces. For a moment, the air was refreshed more than one level.

"This..." Tang Monk frowned, clasped his hands and recited a few scriptures, and then said: "Although he is a powerful disciple of Jianzhi, he should not be punished even if he gets a lawsuit. After all, you were a god, so you can drive them away. Why are you beaten to death without any compassion?"

"Who told you that you shouldn't be guilty of death?" Feng Xue raised her eyebrows and pointed at herself, "Do you know what I did before being a god?"

"The originator of others." Although Tang Seng was dissatisfied, he still replied.

"Do you know what other people's theory is?" Feng Xue asked again.

"This..." Tang Monk shook his head slightly, but couldn't answer, but this was not surprising. He became a monk since he was a child and knew that the originator was Hou Ling, or because he had great gifts every year, he wanted to tell him what other people's theory was, it was like finding those brainless fans who only know how to chase stars to plant flowers, and he didn't know about it after asking.

"Then I will tell you, 'Govern the country according to law, people-oriented'. 30% of the human race's current laws are customized by me, and the remaining 70% have my influence. Killing people to pay for their lives and owing debts are the most fundamental terms of the law. They have a heavy bloody body, and they don't know how many pedestrians have been killed here. Now you tell me that you won't die if you have sinned?" Feng Xue's eyes were joking. Even Tang Monk's face could not help but show a hint of embarrassment, but he still stubbornly said:

"Even if this is the case, it is a cruel official to convict death, not a benevolent policy!"

"Oh?" Feng Xue laughed immediately when she heard that she closed her words. Who was talking about this with him last time? It seemed to be Gongsun Long or Hui Shi?

He did not directly deny Tang Seng's words, but pointed to the dishes on the table and said, "I just bought it in the East City of Chang'an. It tastes pretty good. The vegetarian dishes belong to you, and the meat belongs to me. I will talk while eating."

"..." Tang Seng wanted to say generously that I had no appetite, but people could not disobey their stomachs after all. Even though he was still nauseating just now, he finally sat down with the sound of his belly.

"Come on, I'll tell you slowly." Feng Xue picked up a chopstick squirrel mandarin fish, feeling the sweetness and sourness on her tongue, and showed a satisfied look on her face. Although she often ordered takeout for more than 800 years, the Five Elements Mountain is located on the border line, and there are no big cities around her. The things are just right, so how can you compare to the food in the capital?

Tang Monk did not say anything, silently recited the "Jiezhai Mantra" and then picked up a piece of vegetarian chicken and started chewing it.

For these vegetarian chickens and vegetarian fish, he did not treat them as meat dishes as rural monks. After all, he was a monk who had opened a water and land temple in Chang'an City, and had never eaten any vegetarian dishes.

But unexpectedly, when I arrived at the Xiniu Hezhou area, I could still eat the delicious food in my hometown. After eating a few more bites, I filled in the hungry insects in my belly, but I heard Feng Xue say:

"You seem to think that the death penalty is done by the cruel officials?"

"Don't dare." Although Tang Seng said he didn't dare, his tone was very hard, "If you put down the butcher's knife and become a Buddha on your own, you always have to give people the opportunity to reform. What's more, if you are sentenced to death, the prisoner will definitely take the risk..."

"Just." Feng Xue chewed her goose legs and sneered:

"Everyone has a bad intention, and the law is the bottom line of restraining evil. The death penalty is to increase the cost of crime. If you kill someone for only two days, you will be murderers in prison! After all, even if you kill someone, you will only eat and drink for a few days. I will kill you too! As for reforming yourself... You talk to the family of the deceased, see if they are willing to give him a chance to reform yourself?"

"..." Tang Seng stopped talking when he heard Feng Xue say this, not because he felt that he could not say it, but because he understood that the way he and Feng Xue thought was different, which meant that no matter how much he said, there was no way to change the other party's point of view.

Tang Seng was silent, but Feng Xue did not stop and said while eating:

"If I am the family of the deceased, and you sentence the prisoner who killed my relatives to lightly, then I will definitely kill this person by myself. After all, even if you kill someone, you can be sentenced to lightly. Then why don't I do it myself? Anyway, after I kill him, the law will not be sentenced to me seriously. In this way, everyone wants to solve the problem by themselves. What is the meaning of the law? The law is the bottom line of morality, and the death penalty is the bottom line of law. If there is no bottom line, morality will no longer exist."

Feng Xue didn't care whether Tang Seng listened or not, and popularized the meaning of the law with him on his own.

This is undoubtedly a completely different value for Tang Seng, a Buddhist.

Tang Seng didn't want to listen, but Feng Xue's voice was always drilling into his ears. This was not only because Feng Xue used the magical power of "speaking and following the Dharma", but also because when people eat, their spirits are often empty, and at this time, they are also the time when they are most susceptible to other people's language.

Feng Xueba Labala said a little while, feeling that today's education was almost done, so he continued to bury his head. Tang Monk, whose ears were finally cleared, couldn't help but echo in his mind every word Feng Xue said just now.

Feng Xue's words were very reasonable, so they made him begin to doubt the essence of Buddhism in his heart.

But he quickly suppressed these ideas because he found an excuse-

After all, the law is enforced, and Buddhism is actively believed in by people, actively being educated, and passively being forced. Education is naturally better than persecution.
