Tang Sanzang set out for the Western Heaven to fetch the scriptures, but ended up in the chaotic Three Kingdoms era, where he became Liu Bei, Chancellor of Pingyuan.
Good news: His mind contains not only modern blueprints for military explosives, but also a few low-level spells from Journey to the West, including the Immobilizing Spell, the Tightening Spell, and X-ray Vision!
Bad news: From the start, Yuan Shao's army has him surrounded.
Yuan Shao: “Liu Bei, you brat! Open the gates and surrender at once!”
Standing atop the city wall, Liu Bei presses his palms together and silently pulls out a homemade sniper rifle, while chanting, “Immobilizing Spell.”
The next moment, Yuan Shao's generals Yan Liang and Wen Chou freeze in place. Liu Bei shoots them both in the head!
Sun Quan tries to lay an ambush when Jiangdong comes to claim a bride? Liu Bei blasts Chaisang flat with a few rounds of shrapnel shells, then walks into the inner hall. Looking at the trembling Sun Shangxiang, Da Qiao, and Xiao Qiao, he smiles faintly. “Ladies, this humble monk knows a dual cultivation technique that can keep Jiangdong at peace...”
From then on, the Three Kingdoms has a living King of Hell who fires cannons by day and casts spells by night.
