Chapter Two Hundred and Nine: Dark Chess
Noon the next day.
Mrs. Diyong waited in the port for a long time before she saw Sun Wukong carrying a load of books to the merchant ship.
"What is the gentleman doing with so many books?"
The corners of Mrs. Diyong's mouth couldn't help but twitch.
"When you go far away, you naturally have to bring some books to read on the road. ”
Sun Wukong replied.
"Sure enough, it's a nerd. ”
Mrs. Diyong thought to herself.
She led Sun Wukong to the merchant ship and took it to a cabin: "This is the gentleman's room, the room is small, don't be surprised." ”
Sun Wukong didn't care about the size of the room, and walked in with the books on his shoulder, but the door seemed to be a little smaller, and he hit the door frame carelessly, and the two books fell down.
Mrs. Diyong picked up the two books and glanced at them a few times, with a hint of surprise on her face.
"Sir, you also have a study of runes?"
This is a book about rune ingredients and manufacturing.
"Some interest. ”
Sun Wukong nodded: "The Kingdom of All Souls attaches great importance to runes, and I hope to reduce the difficulty of producing runes so that other countries can also make them." ”
“......”
This is genius too!
Lady Diyong thought to herself, the knowledge in this person's head is a treasure mine, and she doesn't know what else to dig up.
She immediately enthusiastically helped Sun Wukong move all the books into the cabin, and helped him take care of the room, and then asked for advice.
"Isn't the gentleman continuing to study coinage?"
Mrs. Diyong asked.
Sun Wukong shook his head: "Copper and lead are cast in half, this is the bottom line of copper for coinage, with copper less than fifty percent, the copper coins minted will be broken and cannot be circulated." ”
Mrs. Diyong nodded.
"That being the case, the gentleman's casting method is already the most advanced?"
"As it should be. ”
Sun Wukong nodded: "Even if the old coins are taken back and new coins are minted, the amount of copper can be roughly maintained." ”
Lady Diyong's eyes rippled.
She was humble and studious, and asked Sun Wukong for more money knowledge.
Sun Wukong answered her questions one by one.
Mrs. Diyong was eager to take the notes.
This nerd is really knowledgeable, and as soon as he talks about many things, she smells full of interest.
The two chatted in the cabin for a long time, until the sun went down and they had eaten the dinner brought by the servant together, and Mrs. Diyong reluctantly got up to say goodbye.
"If you want to promote coinage, you have to find a country and prove that the technology is feasible. ”
Mrs. Diyong said: "My father-in-law is the prince of Che Chiguo, maybe I can help Mr. persuade His Majesty to ask Mr. to be the prime minister." ”
Sun Wukong immediately agreed.
"Then trouble Madame. ”
"Sir, rest assured. ”
Mrs. Diyong smiled all over her face, and after letting Sun Wukong have a good rest, she turned around and left the cabin.
She walked lightly back to her room.
"Ma'am. ”
The old man was waiting for her in the room: "What is the master's knowledge?"
"It's a bit of a stay, but it's really knowledgeable. ”
Mrs. Diyong rolled her eyes and said, "You give instructions for me, take out all the silver and gold of the trading house, and secretly buy copper coins, the more the better, remember, don't be discovered by all countries." ”
The old man looked surprised: "What are you doing when you buy copper coins?"
"You don't have to worry about that. ”
Mrs. Diyong's eyes lit up slightly: "I want the Buddha to impress me." ”
Their conversation was heard by Sun Wukong without a word.
"I see......"
Sun Wukong guessed Lady Diyong's plan.
She's very clever, so let's just let her go and see how far she can go.
"It was not without reason that the Buddha took a fancy to her. ”
Sun Wukong thought.
Originally, he was hesitant to give more guidance to Mrs. Diyong, but he didn't know what the scale of Tiantiao was.
Mrs. Diyong's comprehension is amazing, and he saves trouble.
After figuring it out, Sun Wukong took out the Xuanguang Mirror.
"Brother, why did you leave a doppelganger, but the deity is gone. ”
Ao Luan in the mirror asked.
She called Sun Wukong for a long time, but there was no response, and now she has just connected.
"I've got something to do and I'm away for a few days. ”
Sun Wukong replied: "Don't worry. ”
"Is it just a few days?"
Ao Luan looked skeptical.
"That's right. ”
Sun Wukong nodded.
As his supernatural powers grew, so did his senses.
He had a hunch that the trip would be very short.
As soon as he finished talking to Ao Luan, Sun Wukong's heart moved, and he got up and walked out of the cabin.
He came to the deck.
"Master. ”
The guards of the merchant ship immediately stepped forward and saluted Sun Wukong: "It's cold at night, why did you come out?"
"The cabin was a bit stuffy, so I came out to relax. ”
Sun Wukong coped and looked to the east.
In the east, where the water and the sky meet, the moon and stars are scarce, and there is nothing abnormal.
"Hallucinations?"
Sun Wukong thought to himself and looked at it for a while.
Unable to notice anything unusual, he turned and returned to the cabin.
At the same time, the heavenly palace was as cool and comfortable as ever.
Tai Bai Xing hurried to the Lingxiao Treasure Palace.
This place was empty, the heavenly soldiers and generals were all transferred, and only one person stood in the hall.
"Tianzun. ”
Tai Bai Xing saluted to the old man in front of him: "Your Majesty, he ......"
"Ahh ”
Yuqing nodded, his expression a little solemn: "He just went down to earth." ”
"That ......"
Tai Bai Xing's heart tightened, and he hurriedly asked, "Then ...... Your Majesty's memory?"
"The memory is with me. ”
Yuqing took out a mirror, and there seemed to be a swirling light in the mirror: "If Your Majesty goes down to earth with memories, you can't really integrate into the world." ”
He saw that Tai Bai Xing's face was full of worry, and he couldn't help but shake his head and reassure.
"Your Majesty has rejuvenated, but he still comes to the deity, and he is protected by the Great Dao, and no one in the world can hurt him. ”
Tai Bai Xing breathed a sigh of relief: "Since that's the case, then I'll be relieved." ”
"This matter must not be leaked. ”
Yuqing said: "Before Your Majesty returns, we must be careful to deal with it, especially the Monkey King. ”
"The Great Sage?"
Tai Bai Xing was stunned.
"Before leaving, His Majesty instructed that the Great Sage knew that he was leaving, and he would not miss the opportunity to seize the Book of Heaven. ”
Yuqing said: "I will take charge of the Three Realms for the Jade Emperor, and at the same time, I need to strictly guard the Book of Heaven, even if Sun Wukong makes trouble in the Heavenly Palace again, he can't let him get it." ”
When Tai Baixing heard this, he couldn't help asking, "What about the Buddha?"
"The Buddha had no interest in the Taoist Book of Heaven. ”
Yuqing replied: "Buddhism has its own classics, unlike us, if Sun Wukong wants to open the path of all souls, he must use the technology of the Heavenly Palace." ”
"I see. ”
Tai Bai Xing nodded, his face sad.
"Don't worry too much. ”
Seeing him like this, Yuqing smiled and said.
"Your Majesty is playing dark chess in Xiniu Hezhou, then Sun Wukong thinks that there is no flaw in the Tiantiao, and he has not realized it so far, as long as it takes a few more years, all the vitality of the Ten Thousand Spirits Kingdom will be cut off. ”
It's a game that is invisible to the naked eye.
The Jade Emperor is good at playing chess, and once his chess pieces are effective, they will create all kinds of obstacles for Sun Wukong, which is enough to delay him for decades and make Sun Wukong have no intention of looking east.
When Sun Wukong comes back to his senses, it is time for the Jade Emperor to come back from the mortal world.
