Tang Sanzang had broken his vows.
The hunter Liu Boqin and his family were dumbfounded. They looked at each other, their hearts pounding with terror.
Things were not supposed to develop this way. Monk Tang was supposed to refuse the meat and wine they offered, and they were to insist several times before he finally agreed.
But who would have expected Monk Tang to show no aversion to meat or wine, indulging in both?
Not only that, Monk Tang didn't even seem to want to leave. He was content to linger, showing no desire to return to his journey, and even said he would like to stay for a year or half a year.
They were here to test Monk Tang, not to keep him there.
If Monk Tang truly settled down here and refused to leave, their crime would be immense, and they would be unable to report back to Heaven.
