Tang Sanzang punched the tiger into a pulp.

The hunter who was hiding in the forest and watching secretly was suddenly dumbfounded, his face was dull, and his eyes were full of fear and shock.

"Isn't it said that Tang Sanzang is kindhearted and generous, that he sweeps the floor with a fear of killing ants and protects the moths that fly into the lampshade?"

"How could he kill a tiger with his own hands? And how could he be so strong that the tiger was completely defenseless and was killed by him with just one punch?"

The hunter was terrified and didn't know what to do for a moment.

He wanted to return to the world and report back, but he should get rid of the tiger, give Tang Sanzang some advice, and finally invite him to stay at his home.

This is his mission and also his destiny. If he can complete it, he can also get a share of the benefits of this catastrophe in the Journey to the West.

But now the tiger was dead and he had no chance of attacking.

If that is the case, how can he be kind to Tang Sanzang? How can he invite Tang Sanzang to his home to give him guidance and strengthen his determination to become a Taoist?

After Tang Sanzang killed the tiger, he continued on his way. He did not look like a monk at all.

He carried a nine-ring staff on his shoulder, wore a brocade robe, and continued to move forward, pulling the white horse, whose legs had become limp with fear.

The hunters in the forest didn't know what to do, because they saw that Tang Sanzang was about to walk out of Shuangcha Ridge.

Hunter Liu Bochin's eyes flickered, and he decided to continue testing Tang Sanzang. He once again sneaked into the deep mountains and forests and captured a few tigers.

He whispered a few words in the tiger's ear, ordering them to block Tang Sanzang's way.

The tiger understood human nature and knew how powerful the hunter was, so it did not dare to act rashly and did as it was told.

Awooo!

The tiger's roar resounded throughout the Shuangcha Ridge, startling countless birds and beasts and scaring away countless insects, fish and birds.

Tang Sanzang stopped, put the nine-ring staff in front of him, and held the reins with his other hand to prevent the frightened white horse from running away.

He just stood there and saw three more tigers appear in front of him, staring at him with ferocious and powerful looks.

Tang Sanzang smiled and said, "Is there a tiger plague in Shuangcha Ridge today? There are so many tigers out there committing crimes and doing evil."

"Well, let me get rid of this evil for the people today and get rid of the tiger in Shuangcha Ridge."

Tang Sanzang was not afraid at all, and judging from his appearance, he wanted to kill the three tigers again with his bare hands.

But this time he was a step too slow. The hunter jumped out hurriedly and fought with the three tigers with a steel fork in hand.

Tang Sanzang had a smile on his face and looked calm. He just watched without going up to help or leaving, as if everything was under his control.

When the hunter was fighting with the tiger, he also focused his attention on Tang Sanzang. Seeing that Tang Sanzang was not afraid at all and never left, he became more and more insecure.

"What's wrong with this monk? He's a mortal being, so he can only kill a tiger easily. And he's not afraid of three tigers at all."

"If he's not afraid, how can I strengthen his resolve and get him to continue his pilgrimage?"

The hunter didn't know what to do for a moment, and could only kill the three tigers within an hour as planned.

Then, without blushing or panting, he came to Tang Sanzang, holding a steel fork and dragging Sanhu backwards.

He laughed heartily, "May I ask where you are from, Elder, and where you are going?"

Tang Sanzang smiled calmly and said, "I came from the East and am going to the West to worship Buddha and seek scriptures."

The hunter breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that the monk had not forgotten his mission and was indeed the Tang Sanzang who went to the West to obtain Buddhist scriptures.

If that's the case, then everything will be easy.

The hunter said, "I am Liu Boqin, a humble man. I make a living by hunting in this mountain. I rarely see tigers on weekdays. Seeing several tigers at once today is also very rare."

"But it also shows that there are many dangers in Shuangcha Ridge. It's getting late now, and I'm afraid there will be more tigers. Why don't you go to my house to rest for a while, and then go to the West to obtain the scriptures early tomorrow."

Tang Sanzang had a strange look on his face, smiled slightly, nodded, and agreed.

The hunter felt a little guilty. He didn't know why he always felt that the Tang Sanzang in front of him was not a mortal, and he seemed to have been seen through.

However, the arrow was already on the string and had to be shot. He had to bite the bullet and invite Tang Sanzang back home to continue his mission.

At the foot of Shuangchaling Mountain, there are several houses and a fenced yard filled with dried meat and skins of various animals.

There was an old woman and a young woman, playing with a child.

When they saw the hunter coming back, they went forward to greet him with great joy. Then, they saw Tang Sanzang, who was not a stranger to them, and took the initiative to greet him and salute him.

When the hunter told his family about the situation in the mountains, they were shocked.

The old woman quickly took Tang Seng's hands and said, "The elder is a good man. He is going to the Western Paradise to worship Buddha and seek scriptures to save all living beings. Please let us do something for the elder."

Then he ordered his son and daughter-in-law to prepare vegetarian food and greet the elders.

The hunter also brought some dried meat and some fine wine brewed at home to entertain Tang Seng.

The old woman did not take it seriously. They were actually heavenly generals who were sent down to earth by the Jade Emperor to convert Tang Sanzang and escort him out of the borders of the Tang Kingdom.

The Jade Emperor also ordered that Tang Sanzang must not be harmed, and that he must be tested more often while taking into account Tang Sanzang's devotion to Buddhism.

Now that they are treating themselves to wine and meat, if Tang Sanzang's devotion to Buddhism is unbreakable, he will surely be able to control himself.

But the next scene left them dumbfounded and at a loss.

Faced with the fine wine and game pushed by the hunter family, Tang Sanzang accepted them all, drank the wine to the last drop, ate meat and drank wine, regardless of whether it was vegetarian or not.

Seeing Tang Sanzang drink a jar of wine in one gulp and eat a tiger leg in just a few bites, the hunter family was dumbfounded.

They looked at each other, not knowing what to do.

The hunter hurriedly asked, "Isn't the elder a Buddhist? Aren't you going to the Western Paradise to worship Buddha and seek scriptures? Why are you eating meat and drinking alcohol? Are you violating the rules and precepts?"

Tang Sanzang said meaningfully, "Isn't it your family's hospitality that makes it hard to refuse, so you offered me this meal? If I don't eat it, wouldn't it be disrespectful to you and ruin your kindness? I can't bear it."

The Hunter family was speechless, but they became even more panicked.

Tang Sanzang never stopped eating, and soon he ate a whole tiger by himself and drank three jars of old wine.

Only then did he pat his belly and laugh heartily, "It's so refreshing! Good wine, good food, and a good life. I'm so happy here that I don't even want to go back to heaven."

"Thank you, Brother Liu, for your hospitality. I wonder if I can stay here for a year or two, eating more tiger meat to gain more strength so I can travel to the Western Paradise to seek scriptures."

hiss!

The hunter and his family were so frightened that they were terrified.

It is easy to invite gods but difficult to send them away.

If the Jade Emperor and the Buddha knew that Tang Sanzang had eaten meat and drunk wine and was enjoying himself so much, they would probably be doomed.
