Super Hero Monk: Hormones Journey to the West

Chapter 180 Demons Appear in White Tiger Ridge

At Beaker's suggestion, Tang Xuanci had another phone conversation with Director Wu.

However, without a crown prince, the other princes of the Tang Dynasty had no ability to stage a coup. After much deliberation, they realized that, at least in the short term, it was impossible to force Li Shimin out of the city using this approach.

"boom!"

The disconnected mobile phone shattered in mid-air, sputtering sparks as it crashed to the ground, kicking up a cloud of black smoke.

The milk dragon transformed into human form, dressed itself, and said:
"If we can't create internal turmoil, then we can only think of Sha Dingtian's plan and try to create external disasters."

Tang Xuanci said:

"The Heavenly Court is watching over Chang'an's land, sea, and air, so what kind of disaster could it possibly cause?"
"Should we throw a small swastika nearby?"

“The Buddhist sect isn’t stupid either. If they really did that, we might be exposed before we even caught Li Shimin.”

Milk Dragon pondered for a moment and said, "Then we can only do as that pig said and wait for another opportunity."

"No, there's another plan." Tang Xuanci's eyes flashed with a fierce light.

Milk Dragon looked at him with surprise and suspicion, "You don't really want that monkey to launch a full-scale attack on Chang'an and capture Emperor Taizong of Tang, do you?"

“It’s not the monkeys who are going, it’s me. I’ll single-handedly storm Chang’an, smash the Xuanwu Gate, and capture Emperor Taizong of Tang.”

Ah this?

Milk Dragon was stunned, his voice trembling with shock. It took him a long time to sort out his thoughts and realize a difference between Tang Xuanci and the monkey.

So he frowned and asked:
"Are you saying that because you are a mortal, you can cause trouble in Chang'an without violating the Heavenly Laws, and the City God Temple won't care about you?"

Tang Xuanci said:

"That's right. Although the Buddhist sect has sent a message saying that the Heavenly Court is going to amend the Heavenly Laws to target me, at least for now I am still a mortal."

"When faced with two evils, choose the lesser one."

"The worst thing we can do right now is not to turn against Buddhism, but to violate the heavenly rules."

“As long as we don’t break the heavenly rules, we are good citizens. If the Buddhist sect wants to deal with us, they can only resort to underhanded tactics, and if we can’t beat them, we can call the police.”

Milk Dragon said urgently:

"What if the immortals and gods who are in charge of Chang'an see that you are full of demonic power and directly question you, or even kill you on the spot?"

Tang Xuanci said:

"If that happens, then we're out of luck. We'll have to resort to the most drastic Plan C: have Goku show himself and kill them with his staff."

"But I don't think they'll easily make a move against me out of 19,999."

He wasn't being blindly confident; it was simply because Beaker had already thought of this solution and analyzed all the possibilities.

According to the research findings of "The Study of the Righteous Governance of the Three Realms," the power system of the Heavenly Court can be considered the origin of the Tang Dynasty system.

The Censorate corresponds to the Thunder Department, the Ministry of Justice to the Fire Department, the Ministry of Personnel to the Fighting Department... the regional deities and the prefectural and county government offices are all one-to-one correspondences.

However, there is one mechanism that is completely different between the Heavenly Court and the Tang Dynasty, and that is "legislation".

The amendments to the Heavenly Rules must be discussed and decided by a vote of the 729 "Immortal Venerables" who are spread throughout the Three Realms.

Although the management team, headed by the Jade Emperor, has the power to veto voting results, a veto is invalid if a resolution receives a "majority vote" of more than 365 people.

(The Immortal Venerable can abstain from voting. Therefore, if only 400 people vote in total, and 300 ultimately agree, it does not count as a majority vote.)
This shows that the immortals are serious about enforcing the Heavenly Laws.

After all, this is about establishing the rules for the Three Realms, involving huge changes in interests, so it certainly can't be taken lightly.

Furthermore, the Buddhist community would never allow Tang Xuanci to be unable to travel west because he violated the heavenly rules, so even if they were shocked and angry at the time, they would still do their best to defend him.

Therefore, before the results of the amendment to the Heavenly Laws are released, the City God Temple of Chang'an, unless it is foolish, would not rashly enforce the law without evidence.

After hearing his explanation, Nailong rationally felt it made a lot of sense, but emotionally he thought the idea was utterly insane. Fearing he would actually go, he panicked and said:
"Aren't you afraid that Guanyin Bodhisattva will see you completely lose control and kill your father and grandfather, and then completely annihilate those souls in the underworld? And that little brat she captured and took to the South China Sea, aren't you afraid she'll be tortured by the Kunlun slaves?"

Tang Xuanci said bitterly:
"That bitch, now she only has these few cards left to threaten me."

"The Buddhist sect has an agreement with me that they will resurrect one person for me every quarter of the journey, and arrange for Xiao Ke to meet with me to confirm my safety."

"After passing Longevity Mountain, there is a White Tiger City a few hundred miles away, which is the quarter point."

"I've calculated the time."

"As one of the 729 Immortal Venerables, the Old Mother of Lishan said that the meeting to revise the Heavenly Laws will be held on the first day of next month, which should be correct."

(A celestial being is not necessarily a celestial official, just as a member of parliament does not necessarily hold an official position.) "Before that, let's go to White Tiger Ridge and try to get back a few of their cards, then rush to Chang'an to crack the thing that Buddhism values ​​most."

"Then, it's time to tear up the agreement and renegotiate."

"If they dare to hurt even one of my people, I'll drop a nuclear bomb on the place they value most!"

Nailong was speechless, once again amazed by the man's combination of shrewdness and wisdom beneath his rough exterior.

Unexpectedly, while everyone else was still working on Plan A, he had already thoroughly considered Plan B and even Plan C.

It seems that apart from being immoral, this scoundrel has no other flaws.

Stop talking too much.

When the three brothers with the character "悟" returned, the master and his disciples, a total of five, secretly crossed the Liusha River overnight, sped to the vicinity of Wanshou Mountain, and, together with the Wuzhuang Temple group, successfully staged a scene of returning the hostages.

The Buddhist sect's attempt to steal a chicken backfired spectacularly, and one can imagine that Buddha and Guanyin must have felt just as frustrated as Zhenyuan Daxian.

As Beaker had predicted, the Buddhist representative in charge of settling the matter subjected them to rigorous questioning and inspection.

Fortunately, they were well-prepared. This time, they directly used the monkeys Wuneng and Wujing, and the Buddhist sect was too confident in the Buddha's headband, so they did not find any problems.

The Buddhist representative then gave Wuneng a final warning, saying that Tang Xuanci was about to be recognized as a cultivator. Although he could continue his journey to the West, the entire team would be under close scrutiny by those with ulterior motives.

Therefore, even after arriving in Xiniu Hezhou, one must still abide by the Heavenly Laws. From now on, one must directly transform into human form and travel along the main road. When entering the city to spread Buddhism, one must not disturb the people. Without instructions, one is forbidden from taking shortcuts through the Immortal Ridge and Demon Mountain.

Tang Xuanci didn't care; he just wanted to get to Baihu City immediately so they would fulfill the contract. So he followed their rules and quickly got on the official road near Baihu Ridge.

As the saying goes, "Where there is a spirit in the mountains, there are bound to be strange creatures; where there is a majestic ridge, there are bound to be spirits."

The White Tiger Ridge is characterized by its overlapping peaks, winding ravines, endless vegetation, and dense spiritual mist, where a demon's palace indeed exists.

"Tai'er, your chance to live forever has arrived!"

A glamorous woman sat on a stone couch covered with brocade and said softly:
"That monk is a holy monk from the East. He and his disciples are currently on the official road to the south, heading towards White Tiger City."

Before her lay a white tiger, which looked old and frail.

Taking a deep breath, the white tiger spoke in human language with difficulty:

"But……

"I've heard that the monk's disciple is incredibly powerful. If you want to eat his flesh, you might incur a fatal disaster."

"I really don't want you to take this risk for me, so perhaps..."

"Stop talking~"

The vixen interrupted:
“You are my only child, and now that he has passed away and you have no children, I will do everything I can to help you live forever.”

He stroked the white tiger's dry fur:

"Don't worry, I have a brilliant plan. I will never confront that Monkey King head-on."

After speaking, he summoned a maid to serve him, got up and went out, heading directly to another stone hall.

Upon her entry, a burly female demon immediately bowed, pointed to seven or eight women slumped on the ground, trembling, and said:
"Madam, the most beautiful women are all here. Please take a look."

The seductive woman swayed her hips and gracefully walked to the front of the hall, taking her seat. A fierce glint flashed in her beautiful eyes as she called out:
"Have them all stand up straight and lift their faces up."

Several demons and monsters that had not yet fully transformed immediately stepped forward and easily lifted the mortal women.

This immediately caused several girls to scream, some to wet themselves in fear, and a few to faint.

"Let's choose her, get rid of the rest."

The demoness quickly designated an unconscious 18-year-old village girl with a D-cup and had the tigress demon bring her close.

Then she lowered her head, arched her fair and slender neck, and used magic to extract a pink bone spur from her cervical vertebrae, which then pierced the village girl's head.

As she closed her beautiful eyes, and then opened them again.

The village girl trembled and opened her eyes, her gaze revealing the same strange light as the sorceress's.

"Bring those clothes here," the D-cup village girl said, standing up and taking off her cloth clothes.

The tigress agreed and immediately brought over a dress with very little fabric and a pair of black stockings.

Before long, the village girl had dressed up as Zhiyin.
