Super Hero Monk: Hormones Journey to the West

Chapter 297 The Arrogant Legion is Initially Established

While Tang Xuanci and Sha Wujing were enjoying the services, they were actually thinking about how to help the Demon-Slaying Army and drive back the anti-demons.

The monkey was also nearby, munching on a peach while shoveling food into its mouth.

As they were chatting, they suddenly heard Zhu Wuneng, who had been silent all along, say:

"Helping them is not as good as letting the monks volunteer for battle. We can lead our troops westward and completely eliminate the anti-demon's covetousness of the Mo Shengdu."

Ah this?

Requesting to lead troops into battle?

The three of them turned to look at him.

He pulled the two young technicians, both around sixteen or seventeen, off him, sat up, half-lying, half-sitting, lit a cigarette, and said:
"Isn't the Kingdom of Women just across the Tongtian River?"

"In addition, there are two other Jiuyang Springs in Xiniu Hezhou, one in Flaming Mountain and the other in Pansiling."

"That spring water was born from the fall of the golden crow, and the rate at which it produces deuterium and tritium atoms is limited. How could this stable boy possibly solve it?"
"The only solution is to find more Nine Yang Springs. The best way now is to take this opportunity to volunteer for the demon-slaying campaign and attack directly."

Oh?
Upon hearing this, the monkey immediately woke up, and surprisingly, he didn't even mind being called "弼马温" (Bima Wen, a lowly official in charge of horses). Instead, he blinked his fiery eyes and said thoughtfully:

"This monk is just a civil official in the Ministry of War. Can he volunteer to lead troops on his own?"

Pig Wuneng said:

"What do you know? Celestial beings retain their original positions, are seconded to the Ministry of War, and are sent down to the mortal realm to subdue demons. This is perfectly normal. Five hundred years ago, when your Dou tribe was recruited, didn't a star official also descend to the mortal realm, leading several groups of immortals and gods to besiege you, you demon monkey?"

Sha Wujing frowned and said:
"That's true, but how can it be put into practice?"

Pig Wuneng said:

"I saw it that day. The Minister of War who was in charge of supervising the western route this time was Wei Yuqing's stupid horse."

"I can guarantee that he's the one who least wants to lose right now. If he sees the monk leading me and the monkey to volunteer for the battle, he'll definitely be tempted."

"Not to mention, he can manage with two or three thousand troops."

Have you already decided who to contact?

Tang Xuanci frowned as he looked at the pig, sensing a hint of seriousness in its lazy, slightly narrowed eyes; the technician's hands, casually kneading it, seemed to be grasping something.

Tang Xuanci was actually tempted by his proposal.

Although the abundance of deuterium and tritium atoms in Jiuyang Spring is hundreds of millions of times greater than that in seawater, the incubation efficiency is really limited and cannot keep up with the ideal progress of the 12.5 plan.

And there's also the Kingdom of Women...

Why wouldn't he want to just call them directly?
A brief silence fell over the room.

Soon, the monkey raised both feet in agreement with his second junior brother.

Sha Wujing, however, said that the risk was too great, since the group of anti-demons all wanted to eat Tang Sanzang's flesh, and the Buddhist and Taoist sects would also take the opportunity to harm their master.

While hesitating.

Suddenly, someone came to report that the Domain Government had sent another "summons," summoning Tang Xuanci, Sun Wukong, Zhu Wuneng, and some heads of the arsenal to attend a joint trial by the three ministries at the Domain Government the next day.

There was also a hint from Zhao Jingzhe's messenger, which meant:

It seems the Ministry of War has obtained new evidence of collusion with demons. This time, even the Jiawu Divine Lord, Wei Yuqing, who is in charge of supervising the army, has come. Now the Demon-Slaying Army and the Ministry of War are under immense pressure, and they probably want to shift the blame and make Tang Xuanci prepare.

Upon hearing the name Wei Yuqing, Tang Xuanci immediately made a decision and said:
"beat!

"Now we have money and guns. As long as the Heavenly Court is willing to provide soldiers, dealing with a bunch of rabble demons will be a piece of cake."
"If you don't enter the tiger's den, how can you catch the tiger's cubs?"

As he spoke, he pointed his sword and thrust it forward, causing the technician to scream.

The next day.

The three of them arrived at the Domain Palace on time and stood in a solemn and imposing hall.

Because the charge against them was treason, which falls under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of War, this place has a strong military court feel to it.

The deities of the Thunder and Fire departments are located on the left and right sides;
In the very center, sits a god with a horse's head and a human body, imposing in stature and fierce in expression. He is none other than Jiawu God, one of the Six Ding and Six Jia of the Heavenly Court's Department of War.

Sitting on either side of him were the head of the Ministry of War of the Domain Prefecture, and Lu Dingkui's biological father and superior, Lu Ge.

As for Marshal Tianyou, he had no interest in personally dealing with this mess.

Just as Zhao Jingzhe had suggested, Lu Ge handed over to the Ministry of War a lot of magic guns, cannons, and communication devices that he had seized from the anti-magic forces, as well as intelligence on arsenals and arms deals that his scouts had gathered in enemy territory.

They then consulted many skilled artisans who were "proficient" in firearms for analysis and comparison, and finally came to the following conclusion:
These weapons and arsenals of unknown origin were secretly manufactured or assisted by Tang Xuanci and his disciples, and eventually fell into the hands of demons, becoming weapons for slaughtering gods and immortals.

The implication is:
The reason we suffered such a crushing defeat... well, we can't say it's all Tang Fang's fault, but at least half of it is their fault!

In addition, Lugo also managed to obtain some information from the three demons, Tiger, Deer, and Sheep, claiming that they had a lot of equipment that was even more powerful than the Demon Slayer Army, all of which came from a wicked organization that called itself "Stark Industries".

Then they presented some very weak pieces of evidence to draw a conclusion:
The "salesman" of that organization was Sun Wukong in disguise. A few days before Commander Lu was accurately shot by the demons, it was Sun Wukong who met with the three demons, Tiger, Deer and Sheep, and sold information to secretly help them.

The three remained silent.

Only when Lugo was completely speechless did Jiawu Shenjun ask Tang Xuanci for an explanation. He then lowered his head and laughed, followed by a loud laugh, and then a wild, unrestrained laugh to the sky: "Hehehehe...hahahahaha...ahahahahahaha—"

The monkeys and pigs were also infected and started laughing together.

It's not very harmful, it's very insulting.

"boom!"

Lugo slammed his fist on the table and roared:
"Insolence! How dare you, master and disciple, act so arrogantly in the Dharma Hall! Now that the evidence of your crimes is laid bare before you, do you dare to deny it?"

Tang Xuanci wiped away his tears, his expression instantly changed, and he frowned as he asked:

"What evidence?"

"Did your Chinese language skills come from a massage parlor technician? Don't you understand what the word 'evidence' means?"

"What you just said is enough to prove that we are in league with demons?"

"The communication equipment of dubious origin was given to me? The magic guns and cannons are even more powerful, so I created them? My original intention in inventing these things was to save all living beings, and I've already made them open source and shared them. Who in the immortal realm doesn't know that?"

"So many immortal lords and powerful figures across the four continents have built their own guns and cannons. Did I help them all?"

Lugo said:
That's sophistry!

"One piece of evidence may not be enough to prove your crimes, but when all the signs are put together, they are enough to prove them!"

"Let me ask you first: if Sun Wukong did not go to Chechi Kingdom to meet those anti-demons between the 18th and 24th of last month, where was he? Can you provide any evidence?"

Tang Xuanci said:

“Wukong is in the City God Temple, with me. I can vouch for that, and my colleagues in the City God Temple in Azhou can vouch for that too.”

Lugo sneered:
"Those are all your people, they are not trustworthy at all!"

Tang Xuanci said:

"Damn, let me ask you this: from the 18th to the 24th of last month, where were you? Who can confirm that?"

"I'm in the camp, handling military affairs. What's wrong?"

"The Demon-Slaying Army is full of your people, so they are not to be trusted at all. Therefore, it is possible that you are the one who went to Chechi Kingdom to meet those anti-demons."

Ah this?

A logical genius?

The Thunder and Fire Immortals in the hall had strange expressions, Lugo was so angry that his face turned ashen, and the monkey and pig laughed again.

The God of Jiawu frowned and said sternly:
"How dare you be so rude!"
"Tang Xuanci, all the signs now implicate you, and there are indeed many suspicious points."

"If you want to prove your innocence, answer whatever they ask you truthfully, and don't ramble or speak rudely."

Unexpectedly, upon hearing this, Tang Xuanci burst into wild laughter again, and then said:

"Do you have to go through all this trouble to prove your innocence? Little Fairy has a very simple method."

"What method?" the Jiawu Divine Lord asked curiously.

"I have heard that the three demons, Tiger, Deer and Sheep, have defeated the Demon-Slaying Army and have now entered the territory of Wuji Kingdom, occupied Mount Hao, intending to recuperate and then pursue their victory."

Tang Xuanci said proudly:
"If you give us, master and disciple, two thousand soldiers, we can conquer Mount Hao within ten days, slay the three demons, and prove our innocence!"

As soon as this statement came out, the whole palace was in an uproar.

After a brief moment of stunned silence, the Jiawu Divine Lord's gaze shifted back and forth between the Heavenly Canopy Immortal and the Heavenly General Qitian on either side of him, revealing a mixture of surprise, doubt, and thoughtfulness.

Soon, a wise and virtuous immortal from the Thunder Department couldn't help but speak up to remind them:

"Mount Hao stretches for over 800 li and is a top-grade spiritual vein of the Wuji Kingdom. Last year, it was requisitioned by the Ministry of War as a defense zone to build a large-scale military formation."

"The three demons were able to successfully conquer the area with the help of the demons in the local Fire Cloud Cave. Now they have gathered together, with at least 16,000 demons stationed in the mountains, repairing the mountain and rebuilding the formation."

"It's unlikely that we can conquer it in ten days."

Tang Xuanci remained silent.

Seeing that he still didn't take it seriously, the Jiawu Divine Lord's eyes lit up, and he asked sternly:

"Tang Xuanci, do you know... there is no joking in the army?"

"one day!!!"

Tang Xuanci said firmly:
"Give us, master and disciple, two thousand soldiers, and we'll flatten Mount Hao in a day!"

Huh? Huh? Huh?

All the immortals and gods were dumbfounded.
