Chapter 206: Long pain is better than short pain
In March, the grass grows and the warbler flies, and a caravan stops outside the library.
“...... Mr. is erudite, and everyone in Wanling City knows it, and Miss Jade Face was ordered to visit the countries and wanted to invite Mr. to go with him. ”
The old fox demon stood in the depths of the library and respectfully extended an invitation to Sun Wukong.
Sun Wukong put away the book of heaven and went out with him.
When the regulars of the library saw this scene, they couldn't help but talk about it.
"Someone actually invited him?"
"No wonder he has been refusing to teach, it turns out that he wants to be a teacher!"
Regulars thought they had found the truth.
However, in fact, Sun Wukong chose to participate in the negotiation in order to better investigate the way of gold.
To his surprise, Ao Luan actually gave the job to the jade-faced fox.
What surprised him even more was that the Bull Demon King was also in the caravan.
He seems to have been invited by the jade-faced fox.
In the caravan, the Bull Demon King had the highest mana, but he didn't find out Sun Wukong's identity.
Along the way, Sun Wukong, like other scholars, remained silent, but secretly listened to the conversation between the jade-faced fox and the Bull Demon King.
To him, the two of them had a good conversation, most of it was nonsense, and there was only a few useful information.
"If it weren't for those heavenly constraints, we would have a way to force humanity to comply. ”
The jade-faced fox said to the Bull Demon King, "With the prosperity of the Ten Thousand Spirits Kingdom, we can defeat them without blood. ”
The Bull Demon King became curious: "Is that really so terrible?"
"That's nature. ”
The jade-faced fox nodded and told the truth: "The monster who was originally in charge of the negotiation was struck by lightning because of his words to coerce the king, and Miss Ao Luan called me over." ”
"Tianjo's punishment is so severe?"
When Sun Wukong heard this, he couldn't help but be a little surprised.
He didn't know anything about it.
However, there is a rule in the rules of heaven that you cannot take the initiative to coerce and interfere in the government affairs of various countries, which naturally includes trade.
Trade has the greatest impact on the country of all souls, and if you want to negotiate and fight, how can you not use both soft and hard.
As a result of this Tianti, now the Kingdom of All Souls wants to open up trade routes, and negotiations with various countries have not yet begun, and they have actually fallen behind.
As long as all countries know that the country of all souls is persecutive, it is considered a violation of the rules of heaven.
Therefore, if human countries are determined to do the opposite, they can cut off trade as they want without too many concerns.
And the Kingdom of All Souls wants to reopen them, but the means available are very limited.
But Sun Wukong is Tianzun after all, and generally no one will offend him.
"I'd like to see who's doing the trick. ”
Sun Wukong thought.
He was here to find out if those human kingdoms really took a fancy to the money, or if there was something else going on.
When the caravan arrived in Chechi, the king welcomed them warmly, and nothing out of the ordinary seemed to be there.
Negotiations began in the evening, but the situation reached an impasse.
Wan Lingguo hopes that Che Chiguo will reduce all kinds of fees for the Golden Road.
To this end, the jade-faced fox also brought a detailed calculation report.
The report states the appropriate tax rate and an estimate of the long-term benefits.
"If Your Majesty follows our plan and lightens the burden on merchants, the future benefits will definitely far exceed those now. ”
The jade-faced fox persuaded the king with a pleasant face.
"It's not up to me to decide this. ”
The king replied politely: "Even if I lighten the burden, the rest of the nations will surely become even worse, and the result will be the same." ”
"Your Majesty, rest assured, we will still consult with other countries. ”
The jade-faced fox said, "Your Majesty can agree." ”
"Then let's wait until the countries agree!"
The king replied perfunctorily.
This answer is almost unassailable.
The jade-faced fox sighed helplessly.
Speaking of this, there is no need for Che Chiguo to continue talking.
"I think he has a point. ”
In the evening, the Bull Demon King said.
"No, I can't. ”
The jade-faced fox shook his head unwillingly: "Let's go to other countries to have a look." ”
They then visited the country of black chickens and got exactly the same answer.
Miss Ao Luan told me that they had been answering this way for several years. ”
Coming out of the black chicken country, the jade-faced fox sighed.
She could guess if she didn't go to the rest of the countries, and she couldn't get a positive reply anywhere.
Sure enough, the remaining countries are exactly the same as the first two.
Even, the jade-faced fox proposed that all countries send representatives to discuss unanimously, but they were politely rejected by various countries for various reasons, and none of them agreed.
"It's just an excuse. ”
The jade-faced fox frowned and said, "They don't want to talk at all. ”
Sun Wukong thought so.
Several countries have come down, and he has basically determined that this matter is not simple.
"That day was really unfair. ”
The Bull Demon King said.
"What do you think, sir?"
The jade-faced fox asked Sun Wukong.
Sun Wukong didn't talk much along the way, but he could get to the point every time, and he was quite relied on by the jade-faced fox.
"Tenjo?"
Sun Wukong smiled: "It's not necessarily unfair. ”
In terms of trade, the restrictions of the Heavenly Article on the Ten Thousand Souls Country are indeed relatively large, which is determined by the development path of the Ten Thousand Souls Kingdom.
But as far as the three-way game is concerned, the Heavenly Rule set by the Jade Emperor has restrictions on all three parties, and he himself has made a huge mistake - making it impossible for the Heavenly Palace to fully control the Southern Ganbu Continent.
The Heavenly Palace is subject to the rules of heaven, so that Sun Wukong and the Buddha have the opportunity to snatch the Southern Ganbu Continent a hundred years later.
The value of the southern Ganbu continent far exceeds the short-term trade restrictions.
"Overall, the Kingdom of All Souls is not at a loss. ”
Sun Wukong said.
The Bull Demon King and the Jade-Faced Fox suddenly realized.
"Then sir......" the jade-faced fox then asked, "do you see why the nations are so resistant to the way of gold?"
Sun Wukong nodded: "They may be deliberately blocking the way of gold." ”
"This ...... It can't be......"
The jade-faced fox was stunned and puzzled: "This is a good thing for mutual benefit, why do they want to block the way of gold?"
"I'm not sure yet. ”
Sun Wukong replied, "Wait until the next country, maybe you will know." ”
When I arrived in the Treasure Elephant Country, the situation was the same as before.
It's just here that Sun Wukong suggested that the Bull Demon King cast a spell, and after the caravan left, he secretly stayed in the palace of the Treasure Elephant Kingdom.
A day after the caravan left, a figure visited the palace of the King of Treasure Elephant.
"True Immortal, the plan given by the Ten Thousand Spirits Kingdom is indeed good. ”
The king met the figure in his room.
"Your Majesty should not be greedy for momentary gains. ”
The figure said: "If you promise them now, the Kingdom of All Spirits will become more and more powerful, and when the trade prospers, the Kingdom of Treasure Elephant will definitely become a subsidiary of the Kingdom of All Spirits, and Your Majesty's royal power will not be passed on." ”
The king hesitated: "It is rumored that the Great Sage is not such a person. ”
"When it is three points today, if the Great Sage wants to fight against the Heavenly Palace and the Spirit Mountain, how will he let you go?"
The figure said: "Your Majesty is worried about me, I naturally know that the Great Sage is a Heavenly Venerable, and you don't need to be an enemy of him. ”
He paused, and then said: "As long as you perfunctory them, slow down the development of all spirits, and the Heavenly Palace will be established again in the future, and everything will change back to its original state, Your Majesty will have immeasurable merits." ”
The king nodded, and couldn't help but sigh: "That ten thousand spirits are really terrifying, and in the past twenty or thirty years, the growth momentum is really amazing. ”
"Your Majesty, rest assured, they will not be able to attack you for a hundred years because of the Heavenly Rules. ”
The figure was confident and said, "In a hundred years, the Heavenly Palace will be able to take over here." ”
"Then I'll be at ease. ”
Listening to the true immortal's repeated assurances, the king's heart was at ease.
The figure then left.
"That's ...... so"
The Bull Demon King completely understood.
This is really the Heavenly Palace, but he is strange in his heart - it is said that the Heavenly Palace is also subject to the rules of Heaven, how can he interfere in the affairs of the human court?
He stopped the figure in the sky.
"What are you doing?"
The Bull Demon King asked with a cold face, "Why did you collude with the Heavenly Palace." ”
That figure is a Daoist, but he also has another identity: the younger brother of the Bull Demon King.
"Brother, I haven't seen you for a long time. ”
Ruyi True Immortal saluted the Bull Demon King and said, "I have no collusion with the Heavenly Palace. ”
"Dare to quibble!"
The Bull Demon King was furious: "Then what are you doing?"
"This is not the dictation of the Heavenly Palace. ”
Ruyi Zhenxian shook his head and said, "This is my own initiative, can my brother know that now is the opportunity to make meritorious contributions?"
The Bull Demon King was stunned, not knowing what Ruyi True Immortal meant.
Ruyi True Immortal immediately smiled and said: "The scattered immortals and demons of the Three Realms already know those heavenly rules, and the Heavenly Palace can't stop the Ten Thousand Spirits, but I can take the initiative to help him, and in the future, the Heavenly Palace will be victorious, and the meritorious deeds will be rewarded, why don't I get an immortal and a half job?"
The Bull Demon King understood, and couldn't help but ask, "What if the Great Sage wins?"
"Brother, you should be sober. ”
Ruyi True Immortal shook his head: "The Great Sage Force, how can it be compared to the Heavenly Palace's Ten Thousand Years Heritage?"
In his opinion, Sun Wukong is absolutely impossible to win.
"Brother, if you want to win the name of the immortal, it will be in these five hundred years. ”
Ruyi True Immortal said: "I advise you to break away from the Great Sage, choose the Jade Emperor or the Buddha, and do something for them, and you will definitely soar in the future." ”
He saluted, and then flew to take his leave.
The Bull Demon King stayed where he was, and he didn't know whether to stop it or not.
And at a higher altitude, Sun Wukong watched this scene thoughtfully.
"It turns out that there is still this trick. ”
He underestimated the beings of the Three Realms, and even a Ruyi True Immortal knew how to invest in the future.
But this incident is obviously not just a wishful true immortal.
Ruyi True Immortal is right, as long as they don't join any party, their spontaneous actions will not be bound by the Heavenly Rules.
But......
Sun Wukong believes that behind the Ruyi True Immortal, there is most likely the inducement of the Heavenly Palace.
"As long as you don't interfere personally, is indirect inducement really possible?"
Sun Wukong pondered in his mind, in fact, he already had this feeling, then Dongfang Shuo is a possibility in the future.
But the Jade Emperor did it before him, and it seems to have proven it.
He's really not a fuel-efficient lamp.
"In that case, I'll have a game. ”
Sun Wukong makes a decision.
He glanced down at the Bull Demon King, and then unknowingly returned to the jade-faced fox's caravan.
For a long time, Sun Wukong has always wanted to deal with some things gently, but there are always unsatisfactory things in the world.
The havoc in the Heavenly Palace has made him understand that he should make a move.
Sometimes, long pain is better than short pain.
