In the evening, the boy was walking on the mountain path with some firewood on his back.
All of a sudden, a tiger jumped out from the forest and pushed him to the ground.
"Ahhh!"
The boy clutched his head in fear, but even after a while, the pain didn't come.
He moved his hand away to see a young man standing in front of him, stroking the tiger.
The tiger wagged its tail, as obedient as a cat.
"I'll give you a bit of immortal energy, don't eat people anymore"
Monkey King smiled and patted the tiger: "Bring me to the village at the foot of the mountain"
"Roar"
The tiger wagged its tail and laid on the ground.
The boy was shocked.
"Come up"
Monkey King pulled him up and put him on the tiger's back.
He urged the tiger to run down the mountain with the two of them.
At the foot of the mountain, Monkey King released the tiger back into the forest.
As he and the boy entered the village, they were immediately surrounded by a few villagers with hoes in their hands.
"Who are you?"
They cautiously looked at Monkey King.
This village was isolated from the rest of the world, other than bandits, no one would come here.
"He's not a bad person"
The boy hurriedly said: "A tiger wanted to eat me just now, he saved me"
The villagers doubtfully put down their hoes.
Monkey King walked around the village a few times before coming to an empty field.
"This is the place!"
While thinking that, he casually waved his hand, causing a large rock to fall to the ground.
The rock was as tall as a person. The villagers were all shocked and looked at him in shock.
"You're a cultivator?"
Someone couldn't help but ask.
Monkey King nodded.
"This rock is called a Shadow Talisman"
He continued: "It can produce sounds and teach you some knowledge"
As soon as he finished, the Shadow Talisman lit up and a word appeared.
"There's a ghost!"
The villagers who had never seen such a thing before were so scared that they ran away.
"No need to worry"
Monkey King couldn't help but laugh: "These are just some simple images"
Shadow Talisman was a spirit item developed from music talismans.
Monkey King had wanted to use spirit items to transmit images since a long time ago. The Shadow Talisman was the result of his 10-odd years of research. Unfortunately, it could only transmit simple images and words.
But in any case, it was more useful than musical notes.
The villagers gathered their courage and walked over. Sure enough, they heard a voice coming from the shadow talisman.
"I've heard of this before. It's called Musical Note, a spiritual item from the Myriad Spirit Kingdom."
An old man said.
The villagers were less afraid.
"So it's a spiritual object."
"Can it move?"
They surrounded the Shadow Talisman and looked at it.
Sun Wukong chanted an incantation, and Di Zi, who was sleeping on the ground, was immediately pulled out.
Land God turned around in a daze. When he saw the Monkey King clearly, he quickly knelt down.
"The Great Sage has arrived. Apologies for not going out to meet you!"
"It's fine."
Monkey King shook his head. This was a clone of himself, so it was normal that the Land God couldn't sense it.
"This Shadow Talisman will increase the number of incense sticks you have. In the future, you will have to protect it. Don't let anyone take it away."
Monkey King said.
Land God nodded happily. He looked at the stunned villagers and quickly reminded them.
"This is the Heavenly Lord of the Aparagodānīya State. Why aren't you kneeling?"
The villagers finally reacted and knelt on the ground, not daring to move at all.
"This Shadow Talisman can impart the knowledge of the Myriad Spirit Kingdom to you."
Monkey King said, "You have to learn it well."
Saying so, he rode on a cloud and disappeared into the sky.
The villagers looked at the sky in a daze. They felt like they were dreaming.
When they came back to their senses, they found that the Land God had also disappeared.
Immediately after, the villagers ran home to call their families.
Not long after, everyone gathered around the Shadow Talisman and listened to the voice coming from it curiously.
Monkey King watched for a while before turning into a golden light and returning to Myriad Spirit City.
At the same time, countless golden lights flew from all over the Aparagodānīya State towards Myriad Spirit City.
Everyone knelt on the ground with a Shadow Talisman next to them.
The places where the Shadow Talisman appeared were all countries that didn't sign a contract with the Myriad Spirit Kingdom.
Before the kings could react, the Shadow Talisman had already spread to every village and town.
Although the other countries didn't have Shadow Talismans, they also started to buy Sound Talismans.
The Myriad Spirit Kingdom began to spread knowledge, art, and all kinds of stories to the entire Aparagodānīya State.
A year later, no matter where they were in the Aparagodānīya State, as long as they had free time, people would gather together and use Sound Talismans or Shadow Talismans to receive the voice of the Myriad Spirit Kingdom.
This change was so fast that it exceeded Monkey King's expectations.
Of course, it also exceeded the expectations of the other countries.
Unfortunately, the other countries felt this change and wanted to stop it, but they couldn't.
"This is the trend of the times, no one can resist it."
Bhikkhu State. Madam Di Yong was telling a story to a group of little monsters in a carriage.
Her merchant group was traveling on the main road filled with spiritual items.
The little ones gathered in the carriage and asked curiously: "Why can't we resist it?"
"Just take the Shadow Talismans away!"
Their words made Madam Di Yong laugh.
"As soon as the government comes, the Land God will hide the Shadow Talismans underground, they won't be able to find them"
"What about the Sound Talismans?"
A little boy asked: "Can't we just not sell them?"
"They can choose not to sell them"
Madam Di Yong nodded: "The Land God would love nothing more than for them not to sell, that way, the Great Sage will take the Shadow Talismans away"
The little ones were in an uproar.
"Then there's no other way?"
"There's no other way!"
A girl loudly said: "The Great Sage is doing a good deed, those kings are all bad people, how can they stop him from doing a good deed!?"
"A good deed?"
Madam Di Yong wanted to roll her eyes at her.
Of course the Sound Talismans and Shadow Talismans aren't a good thing for the other countries.
Conquering the Aparagodānīya State without bloodshed was the Monkey King's true goal.
"The Great Sage is truly tyrannical"
Madam Di Yong thought.
The Monkey King didn't move, but once he did, he would achieve his goal.
She opened the curtain and looked outside.
On the road ahead, there was a newly built Tianzun temple.
Unknowingly, the sky of the Aparagodānīya State had begun to change.
"It's finally come to this"
Myriad Spirit Kingdom. Water Moon Fairy looked up at the sky.
The Buddhist light above the Aparagodānīya State was being devoured and chased away by a golden light.
It was a light that the world couldn't see, a light that belonged to the Great Sage.
When the Sound Talisman was born, Water Moon Fairy had a premonition that this would happen.
The Monkey King hadn't made a decision yet, so she thought he wouldn't do it.
But he still did it in the end.
"This is no longer the Aparagodānīya State that I'm familiar with"
Water Moon Fairy was a bit sad.
The spread of ideas was the best way to rule over the masses.
No one understood the importance of spreading ideas better than Spirited Mountain.
But the Monkey King's ideas were a bit different from Spirited Mountain.
He mainly transmitted knowledge and technology.
