Honghuang: I am Kuiniu, and I instructed Nuwa to create humans at the beginning.

Sun Wukong took the gourd, opened it and smelled it, and his eyes lit up immediately, "Hey, little white dragon, what good stuff is in your gourd?"

Little White Dragon chuckled and said, "Big Brother, this is a treasure from my Dragon Palace, a thousand-year-old aged immortal wine. Master and Big Brother have worked hard along the way, so drink some wine to relieve your fatigue."

When Tang Sanzang heard that it was wine, he frowned slightly and was about to refuse, but Sun Wukong had already raised his head and took a sip.

Then he laughed and said, "Master, you should try it too. This is much better than your bland vegetarian meal!"

Tang Sanzang opened the gourd and smelled it, confirming that it was filled with wine. He shook his head and said, "We eat horse meat to stay alive, so how can we drink wine?"

Sun Wukong took a big gulp, then laughed and said, "Master, I've even eaten the meat, why would I care about a sip of wine?"

"This wine is made from grains. Eating grains does not count as breaking the precepts, but drinking wine does. How can this be justified?"

The little white dragon at the side also echoed: "Big Brother is right, even the gods in heaven can drink, why can't our master and disciple do the same."

Tang Sanzang hesitated for a moment, and finally sighed and said, "We have already eaten the meat, so we don't need a sip of wine. Let us have a good meal today, and then we will set out to obtain the scriptures."

After he finished speaking, Tang Sanzang raised the wine gourd in his hand. Just as he was about to pour the wine in the gourd into his mouth, he heard a cold snort in the air.

"Tang Sanzang, as a Buddhist disciple, how can you eat meat and drink alcohol? If you behave like this, how can you obtain the true scriptures and save the world?"

As he spoke, Bodhisattva Cihang had already appeared in mid-air, looking at Tang Sanzang and his two disciples with a gloomy expression.

The reason why Bodhisattva Cihang came was that the scene of Tang Sanzang and his two disciples eating meat and drinking wine had already been seen by the gods and Buddhas in the sky.

Others were just watching the fun, but the Buddhist sect could not sit still. They sent the Bodhisattva Cihang to teach Tang Sanzang and his disciples.

When Tang Sanzang heard the voice of Bodhisattva Cihang, he was startled and almost dropped the wine gourd in his hand.

He quickly put down the gourd, clasped his hands together respectfully and said, "Disciple Tang Sanzang, I pay my respects to Bodhisattva Cihang."

Sun Wukong and Xiao Bailong also bowed to the Bodhisattva Cihang, but there was no trace of remorse on their faces.

Bodhisattva Cihang slowly descended from the clouds, looked at the three people sternly and said, "Tang Sanzang, as a disciple of Buddhism, you shoulder the important task of obtaining the scriptures, how can you be so indulgent? Eating meat and drinking wine, is it what a cultivator does?"

Tang Sanzang looked ashamed and whispered, "I was foolish for a moment and was deceived by my fellow disciples. I almost made a big mistake. I hope the Bodhisattva will punish me."

Seeing this, Sun Wukong couldn't help but look up and explain: "Bodhisattva, Master has worked hard all the way. Eating some meat and drinking some wine is also to replenish physical strength so that we can continue on our journey."

"Besides, this wine is made from grain. I killed the horse and roasted the meat. Master just didn't want to waste the horse meat. How can this be considered breaking the precepts?"

Bodhisattva Cihang snorted coldly and said, "Sun Wukong, don't try to make sense. People who practice cultivation have strict precepts. How can you break the precepts just because of a temporary need?"

"If you three, the master and the disciples, do not strictly observe the precepts, how can you obtain the true scriptures and save the world? If this is the case, it is better for you to disperse and there is no need to go to the Great Leiyin Temple anymore."

Little White Dragon couldn't help but murmured, "Don't the gods in heaven also drink wine and eat meat? Why can't they do that here..."

Bodhisattva Cihang glanced at Little White Dragon with a lightning-like gaze and said, "The gods in heaven have their own duties and rules. How can you make irresponsible comments on them?"

"As a pilgrim, you shoulder a heavy responsibility and should set an example and strictly observe the precepts." Tang Sanzang nodded quickly and said, "I know I was wrong. From now on, I will strictly observe the precepts and never make the same mistake again."

Seeing Tang Sanzang's sincere attitude, Bodhisattva Cihang's expression eased a little and said, "It is the greatest virtue to admit one's mistakes and correct them. I will not pursue today's matter any further."

"But you must remember that the journey to obtain the scriptures is difficult and full of dangers. Only by observing the precepts and making progress can you overcome all difficulties and obtain the true scriptures."

After saying this, Bodhisattva Cihang waved her sleeves, a golden light flashed, and the wine gourd in Tang Sanzang's hand instantly disappeared.

Then he reminded him again: "Remember, for those who practice cultivation, the precepts come first. If you break the precepts again, don't blame me for being ruthless."

Tang Sanzang bowed and said: "Disciple will follow the Bodhisattva's teachings."

Bodhisattva Cihang nodded, then rode away on a cloud and disappeared into the clouds.

After Bodhisattva Cihang left, Sun Wukong scratched his head and said unwillingly: "Master, isn't this Bodhisattva too nosy? We can just eat and drink a little, it won't delay our journey to obtain the scriptures."

Tang Sanzang sighed and said, "Wukong, the Bodhisattva is right. As disciples of the Buddha, we should indeed strictly observe the precepts."

"What happened today was my fault. You should be more careful in the future and don't make the same mistake again."

Little White Dragon muttered, "But Master, we have been sleeping in the open air all this way. If we can't even drink a sip of wine, wouldn't it be too hard?"

Tang Sanzang smiled and said, "The path of cultivation is to find joy in suffering. If you can't even endure this little suffering, how can you obtain the true scriptures and save the world?"

After saying this, Tang Sanzang subconsciously ate another mouthful of horse meat. Then he quickly said, "I'm sorry, I forgot for a moment, please forgive me, Buddha."

At this time, Bodhisattva Cihang did not leave. She was in mid-air, watching Tang Sanzang and his two disciples.

When he saw Tang Sanzang, he actually ate another bite of horse meat, which made Bodhisattva Cihang so angry that she almost fell from mid-air.

Fortunately, Tang Sanzang threw away the horse leg in his hand and asked Sun Wukong to bury the remaining horse meat. This made Cihang Bodhisattva feel better and turned back to the Great Leiyin Temple.

Little did they know that at the moment when Bodhisattva Cihang left, a hideous smile appeared on the corners of Tang Sanzang and Sun Wukong's mouth.

Then he asked the little white dragon to transform into a white dragon horse again. The three masters and apprentices walked across Yingchoujian and continued their journey to the west.

On Penglai Island, Nuwa laughed so hard that she fell backwards. After a long while, she said, "Big Black Bull, I like this monkey."

"Just a few words can make Tang Sanzang, who has practiced for ten lifetimes, break his two vows of abstinence from wine and meat. If he goes to the Great Leiyin Temple on Lingshan Mountain in the West, he will surely break all his vows."

Hou Tu, who was standing by, also said with a smile on her face: "I'm afraid it's not the monkey that's bad, but our big black bull that's too bad."

"If this monkey didn't tell me to do this, I wouldn't believe anything he said. And there's definitely something wrong with that Golden Cicada."

Niu Kui said helplessly: "I just want to make the journey west more fun. I don't have any bad intentions."

Then, Niu Kui said to Yun Xiao who was standing beside him, "How is the weasel preparing? Now we have to see his performance." (End of this chapter)
