DiploNovel #593 - In our law, this is called self-defense.
#593 - In our law, this is called self-defense.
Chu Hao's face leaned forward slightly.
"You're lecturing me about the Heavenly Law? Tell me, what crime did he commit? Speak up, or you won't have another chance!"
Guanyin Bodhisattva said angrily, "Murder and arson, is that not a crime?!"
Chu Hao sneered.
"That's not a crime at all. In our Heavenly Law, it's called self-defense."
Even calling it excessive self-defense would be an understatement!
This was a direct, proactive attack!
A full-clan execution would be more appropriate!
One step later, and it would have been execution of nine generations of relatives!
This is outrageous!
Guanyin Bodhisattva was filled with a sense of absurdity at Chu Hao's outrageous defense.
Tang Sanzang himself was completely confused. He felt that self-defense really had nothing to do with him.
Tang Sanzang believed that he was simply acting out of a sense of justice, because no one was controlling these thugs, and they were even protected by the Bodhisattva.
Tang Sanzang feared that future people would fall into such a demonic cave, so he decided to bear all the karma, even thinking that he might enter the Avici Hell after his death.
In any case, Tang Sanzang would never regret eliminating such evil-doers!
Chu Hao couldn't help but shake his head when he saw Tang Sanzang's righteous and death-defying appearance.
Fortunately, Guanyin Bodhisattva had sealed Tang Sanzang's mouth, otherwise Tang Sanzang would most likely have confessed directly.
How frustrating would that be?
Guanyin Bodhisattva pointed at Tang Sanzang and said coldly:
"Even people of your Heavenly Law say that it only counts as self-defense when facing a life-threatening situation, right?"
"They clearly couldn't light the fire, everything was fine, and then Tang Sanzang killed them, this is definitely intentional murder!"
Chu Hao sneered.
"You understand jack shit about the Heavenly Law."
"My Heavenly Law's self-defense refers to taking action to stop an ongoing illegal infringement, and causing damage to the illegal infringer, which is self-defense and does not bear criminal responsibility."
"I suppose you also went back in time and saw the scene."
"At that time, Tang Sanzang was empty-handed, facing a group of thugs with guns and sticks, ready to attack. Surely, Tang Sanzang must have been extremely scared!"
Tang Sanzang was confused.
Was I scared at the time? Why don't I know?
I only used one hand to kill them back then.
However, as everyone looked over, Tang Sanzang quickly nodded, a look of fear on his face.
Guanyin Bodhisattva's forehead was covered with black lines, and she rebuked:
"You dare to lie!"
Chu Hao frowned, and instead snorted coldly:
"Guanyin Bodhisattva really doesn't know the suffering of the world!"
"How could a good person like Tang Sanzang, who is unarmed, gentle, and diligently cultivates Buddhism, not be afraid when facing that group of thugs with guns and sticks?"
"He's still just a child!"
Sun Wukong couldn't listen anymore, and hid to the side, covering his face.
Guanyin Bodhisattva sized up Tang Sanzang.
Broad shoulders, thick waist, bulging muscles, panting like a cow, and carrying dozens of lives on his back!
You're telling me he's unarmed, gentle?
Although this wasn't the first time Guanyin Bodhisattva had experienced Chu Hao's verbal skills, this time it once again left Guanyin Bodhisattva speechless.
In order to get the reward, Chu Hao's verbal skills had indeed improved greatly, and Guanyin Bodhisattva became the first victim.
Guanyin Bodhisattva was unwilling to admit defeat, and stammered: "He, he, he, he's so strong, he could have avoided the fight!"
Chu Hao was amused.
"You're so unreasonable!"
Guanyin Bodhisattva was once again labeled as unreasonable, and she felt a rush of anger.
"But, he's a monk, he should be compassionate. Even if it really was self-defense, he should have at most slightly stunned them, not taken their lives!"
Chu Hao啧啧 shook his head, his face full of disdain.
"I really want to push you people who only talk on paper and offer hindsight into a cesspool."
"Imagine, you are a frail monk, you are unarmed, and opposite you are forty or fifty people with guns and sticks, all of whom want to kill you."
Tang Sanzang silently took half a step back, pretending not to be talking about himself.
Although it was generally the same, maybe the wording was a little careless.
Chu Hao leaned back tactically, spread his hands and said:
"In that situation, normal people would be scared to death! If I could kill them, I would definitely do my best and leave no future troubles!"
"In that situation, how could a weak monk save his strength, and even be precise enough to just stun them."
Guanyin Bodhisattva was speechless by Chu Hao's words, and could only stutter in place, unable to speak.
Chu Hao continued, filled with righteous indignation:
"As a normal person, when my life is threatened, I must protect myself, do I still have to protect the murderer!"
"If it were a normal person, not only would they kill them, but they would also push all their corpses into the cesspool!"
"What does this behavior belong to?"
"Treating them to a meal!"
Sun Wukong couldn't help but laugh out loud, what a goddamn treat to a meal… …
Chu Hao realized that he had misspoke, and quickly corrected himself:
"Oh no, that's not right, self-defense!"
"Guanyin Bodhisattva, do you think I'm right?"
Guanyin Bodhisattva stammered in place, not knowing what to say for a moment.
She just kept repeating,
"Tang Sanzang committed murder and arson, how can this be considered self-defense! You're talking nonsense!"
Under the strong offensive of Chu Hao's verbal skills, Guanyin Bodhisattva retreated steadily, completely unable to argue with Chu Hao.
[Congratulations on completing the task, defending Tang Sanzang to innocent, acquitted in court]
[Reward: Three standard acquired spiritual treasures]
Chu Hao realized that Guanyin Bodhisattva had lost, and no longer entangled.
Chu Hao patted Tang Sanzang on the shoulder, and all the restrictions on Tang Sanzang's body were lifted.
Tang Sanzang regained his freedom all of a sudden, feeling extremely uncomfortable.
However, he didn't say any more nonsense to stimulate Guanyin Bodhisattva.
Tang Sanzang respectfully bowed to Chu Hao,
"Thank you, Prison God, for saving my life and sparing me the suffering of Avici Hell."
Chu Hao chuckled,
"Justice resides in the hearts of the people. No matter how turbid the world is, you must adhere to your own justice."
"Of course, stubbornly sticking to the rules like a dull fool will only allow others to ride on your face and output at will."
"In the future, you don't need to be restrained, distinguish right from wrong, and don't be afraid."
"Go, go to the Western Paradise to learn the scriptures."
Chu Hao stretched lazily, looked at Guanyin Bodhisattva who was still struggling beside him, but ignored him.
A defeated opponent is not worth mentioning.
Chu Hao jumped away.
Tang Sanzang and Sun Wukong also prepared to leave.
But Guanyin Bodhisattva suddenly seemed to wake up from a dream and shouted to Tang Sanzang:
"Wait!"
