It was the 27th year of Zhenguan when Emperor Taizong of Tang met Tang Sanzang who had returned from his journey to the West.

According to official historical records, Emperor Taizong of Tang reigned for only twenty-three years. In other words, in the world of Journey to the West, Emperor Taizong of Tang lived four years longer than in the original history.

Now, more than a year has passed. Emperor Taizong of Tang lived about five years longer than recorded in history. Not only is his body still healthy, but his spirit is also extremely vigorous, without any signs of aging at all.

"This is the result of my Tang Dynasty's increasingly prosperous fortune. With Taizong's ability, he can still have nearly ten more years!"

Yuan Tiangang laughed and said, "Although I don't know what's going on, this is still a good thing, isn't it?"

Tang Ku shook his head slightly and said, "Mr. Yuan is wrong. This may not be a good thing... Well, in this case, I think I have understood some things... Well, by the way, I have something to ask..."

"Holy monk, do you want to see the little gadgets I made?" Yuan Tiangang said.

"That's right... Although I don't know much about refining weapons, I should be able to give you some advice in some aspects!"

Tang smiled bitterly.

"Haha, then follow me..."

As he spoke, Yuan Tiangang took out a green gem the size of a baby's fist from his arms. As soon as it appeared, it hovered above his palm, and then released a faint light. Rings of light emerged from the gem in a mysterious posture, surrounding the gem. Countless runes and characters of the Heavenly Stems and Earthly Branches also emerged. It looked like a small armillary sphere.

"Haha, excuse me for laughing at me. This is called the Nine-Nine Armillary Sphere. I made it in my later years. Besides exploring feng shui and predicting the mysteries of heaven, it also serves as a key..."

As he said this, the old man threw the armillary sphere to the ground.

As soon as the armillary sphere landed on the ground, a green light burst out. The ground was like the surface of water, with a large number of ripples radiating outward in circles. Then, a hole shining with starlight appeared in front of several people. From the surface, a staircase could be seen slanting downwards. No one knew how deep it was inside.

"Walk……"

Yuan Tiangang took the lead and stepped into the cave first, followed closely by Tang Ku. Wuzhen took a look at the cave entrance and suddenly felt a chill all over her body, as if there was a strong murderous aura inside that was directed only at her.

"Wuzhen, don't worry, Master is here!"

Tang Ku's voice suddenly came into his ears, which made Wu Zhen feel relieved. He patted his chest lightly, took a deep breath, and entered the basement.

Only after truly entering this underground world did Tang Ku finally understand that Yuan Tiangang's abilities had truly surpassed this era by nearly a thousand years.

"Saint Monk, this thing is called the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths Divine Destruction Thunder. It's a prototype I made when I was young. Although its power isn't very great, it's enough to harm a body of an immortal or god-level. The weapon you mentioned that ordinary people can use might be improved upon from this thing."

Yuan Tiangang pointed at a palm-sized object that looked like pink crystal and said to Tang Kudao.

Wu Zhen couldn't help but shudder: This weapon is aimed at immortals and gods. Is this thing the source of this murderous aura?

However, after listening to Yuan Tiangang's introduction one by one, she realized that she was frightened too early.

"Saint Monk, this thing is called the God-Slaying Spear. In fact, ordinary people can also use it if they are strong enough, such as powerful generals like Yuchi Jingde and Qin Shubao. However, such strong men are too rare, so it cannot be mass-produced..."

"Saint Monk, this thing is called the God-Breaking Crossbow. Ordinary people can use it, but the power of each arrow is slightly insufficient. Inspired by Zhuge Liang's Crossbow, I made it into a continuous-firing crossbow. However, this makes it heavier, so it's still difficult for ordinary people to use. It can only be used in fixed-point city defense operations..."

"...This thing is called the God Binding Rope...This one is called the God Killing Slash...This one is called the God Hunting Bow...Saint Monk, this thing is powerful, it's called the God Control Pill..."

Well, there are a lot of killing weapons, all aimed at the immortals and gods. No wonder Wuzhen is so scared.

Tang Kudu's mouth twitched involuntarily. He looked at Yuan Tiangang's white-haired old face and said, "Mr. Yuan, you didn't foresee from the beginning that there would be a battle with the immortal gods, right? Otherwise, why would you think of doing this?"

Yuan Tiangang smiled casually and said, "When I was young, I didn't respect myself. I wanted to fight against heaven with my own strength. That's why I did these things that were beyond my ability. I'm sorry, I'm sorry!"

Tang Ku thought for a moment, then pointed to a huge wooden box beside him. The box had four wheels underneath, was about a person's height, and two or three meters long, but he couldn't tell what it was.

"what is that?"

Tang Ku asked.

"That... hehe, that's a model copied from what I dreamed about..."

A strange look flashed across Yuan Tiangang's face. He said, "Saint Monk, do you know that I once dreamed of a vehicle powered by fire. It didn't require human or animal power, and it could move freely and go wherever it wanted. This is exactly what I dreamed of..."

Tang Ku smiled and said, "Have you also dreamed of various vehicles powered by fire, such as pleasure boats in the water, iron birds in the sky, and devices that can swim underwater like fish? Have you also dreamed of clairvoyance and clairaudience that ordinary people can use, allowing people to communicate thousands of miles away?"

Yuan Tiangang stared at Tang Ku with his mouth wide open. After a long moment, he finally said in shock, "Could it be that the holy monk has also dreamed of these things?"

Tang laughed bitterly and said, "Things that move on the ground are called cars, things that sail on the water are called ships, things that are underwater are called submarines, and things that fly in the sky are called airplanes. And those communication devices people hold in their hands are called cell phones!"

"A flying chicken? A hand chicken? If this chicken were bigger, it might be able to fly, but this hand chicken... could it be imitating a rooster's crowing, with a sound that could be heard a thousand miles away? How big a chicken would that be?"

Wu Zhen on the side said in astonishment.

Yuan Tiangang pondered for a moment and said softly, "If I'm not mistaken, the 'ji' you're talking about is the 'ji' in the Dao of Mechanisms, right?"

Tang Ku was surprised by Yuan Tiangang's quick reaction and nodded. "That's right, but this mechanism is more sophisticated and more powerful than the existing ones. Its raw materials and driving methods are completely different from what we use now. If I have some free time, I would like to share with you what I know about the principles of these things. If it can be of help to you, it will be a great honor for the Tang Dynasty!"

Yuan Tiangang was immediately overjoyed and immediately bowed deeply to Tang Ku: "In this way, the people of the Tang Dynasty will have a good life from now on. This is all thanks to the holy monk. Please accept my respect!"

Tang Ku quickly jumped away: "Although I have become a Buddha, I am not worthy of your worship. It will shorten my life!"
