Conferred Gods: Master Tongtian is my master

Chapter 58: First Meeting with King Zhou

Chaoge Palace

Luo Shu and Wen Zhong walked through the palace gates and passed through the long corridors. On both sides were carved beams and painted buildings, showing the glory and majesty of the Shang Dynasty.

The guards they met along the way bowed their heads and saluted when they saw Wen Zhong and others, with deep respect in their eyes.

Although they did not know Luo Shu and only knew Grand Tutor Wen Zhong, they knew that he was of extraordinary status just by seeing that Wen Zhong was half a step behind him.

As for Xiaobai who came with them, just ignore him. He has a silly expression on his face and doesn't look like a big shot at all.

When they reached the outside of the Shouhuang Palace, the eunuch saw Wen Zhong among the visitors and hurried forward to salute and said respectfully:

"Greetings, Grand Master!"

"Is the king in the palace?" Wen Zhong asked.

"Reporting to Grand Master, the King is resting in the bedroom!"

"Ok!"

Wen Zhong nodded and said with dignity:

"Go in and tell him that my brother and I have something important to discuss. You can see the king if you need to!"

Upon hearing this, the eunuch glanced at Luo Shu, and thinking that this was the senior official that the king had just appointed, he bowed and said respectfully:

"It's Doctor Shang. Nice to meet you, Doctor Shang!"

He looked at Master Wen again and replied respectfully:

"Grandmaster, please wait a moment. I will go and inform the king that you have an urgent matter to discuss."

Wen Zhong nodded slightly to show that he understood, then stood quietly outside the hall, looking deeply into the depths of the hall.

The eunuch did not dare to delay for a moment and turned around and hurried into the hall.

He knew that Wen Zhong was of noble status and that he must have important matters to discuss with the king, so he did not dare to be negligent in the slightest.

The eunuch walked into the hall, took a deep breath, calmed his nervous mood, and then gently knocked on the door of the bedroom.

"Your Majesty, Grand Master Wen is waiting outside the palace. The man is coming with his senior brother, and he said he has something important to report!"

At this time, Emperor Xin, who was lying on the couch to rest, woke up instantly when he heard that Grand Tutor Wen Zhong brought his senior brother here.

Not to mention that Master Wen was his master, a veteran of three dynasties, just take his senior brother, who was just conferred the title of Senior Doctor some time ago, and the movable type printing technology he mentioned. If this was the case, then it would be a really big deal.

Emperor Xin hurriedly got up from the couch and asked the palace servants to get dressed.

"Quick, invite the Grand Master and others into the hall. Someone, change my clothes for me!"

Upon hearing this, the eunuch turned around and walked out of the hall, but saw Wen Zhong still standing there quietly, like a towering mountain, as still as a mountain.

The eunuch stepped forward and said respectfully:

"Grandmaster, the king asks you and the senior doctor to enter the palace and wait for a moment. The king is changing his clothes!"

Wen Zhong nodded, looked at Luo Shu and said:

"Brother, please go into the hall and wait for a while!"

"it is good!"

After saying that, Luo Shu, Wen Zhong and Xiao Bai who were following them entered the main hall together.

The main hall is magnificent and majestic. The tall hall seems to be able to accommodate the heaven and the earth. Each pillar is carved with exquisite patterns. The air is filled with a faint sandalwood scent, which makes people feel peaceful.

Luo Shu and others waited in the main hall for a long time, then they heard the sound of the side hall door opening, and everyone looked over.

I saw a tall and majestic figure appear at the entrance of the temple, and the sunlight shone from behind him, covering him with a layer of golden glow.

This figure was none other than the king of the Shang Dynasty, King Zhou! He was wearing a gorgeous dragon robe, the gold threads on which sparkled brightly in the sun.

He wore a golden crown on his head, which was inlaid with gems and pearls, sparkling with brilliant brilliance.

His face was majestic and deep, and his pair of black eyes seemed to be able to see into people's hearts, making people dare not look into his eyes.

When Luo Shu saw King Zhou for the first time, he was deeply shocked. Seeing is believing. The image of King Zhou, as described on paper, actually appeared before his eyes.

Luo Shu's gaze shifted to King Zhou's tall and burly figure. Every inch of his muscle seemed to contain endless power.

King Zhou's shoulders were broad and powerful, as if he could shoulder the weight of the entire world.

Luo Shu sighed inwardly:

"As expected of the brave King Zhou, it seems that the legend that he can fight ferocious beasts with his bare hands and display unrivaled bravery is true!"

King Zhou walked to the center of the main hall, looked at Luo Shu and others, his heart full of curiosity and expectation, and asked:

"Grand Master, Senior Doctor, what important matter do you have today that requires you to see me?"

Grand Master Wen Zhong stepped forward, bowed respectfully, and said:

"Your Majesty, we are here today to present you with a miraculous technology that will be passed down through the ages - movable type printing."

"This technique was created by my senior brother, the senior doctor Luo Shu. My senior brother brought the mold into the palace and wanted to demonstrate it to the king!"

When King Zhou heard this, a trace of surprise flashed in his eyes, and he quickly asked:

"Oh? Movable type printing? Is it what the Grand Master mentioned before? Is movable type printing really that magical?"

Luo Shu smiled slightly, took a step forward and explained:

"Your Majesty, movable type printing is a completely new printing method. It uses movable type to set type. Each word can be made separately and then combined into a piece of writing as needed."

"In this way, not only the printing speed is greatly improved, but also the cost is greatly reduced."

"More importantly, it will enable more official documents, announcements, philosophy, medicine and other works to be copied in large quantities and widely disseminated, so that more people can benefit from it."

King Zhou was so absorbed in listening to this that he could not help but applaud:

"Wonderful! Wonderful! The senior doctor really lived up to my expectations and was able to offer such a miraculous technique."

"This movable type printing technology will surely bring endless prosperity and prosperity to our great business!"

Luo Shu looked at the ecstatic King Zhou in front of him and thought, this is just the beginning. If you bring the technology from later generations over here, you will be able to take off immediately!

King Zhou looked at the Luoshu and said bluntly:

"Master, how can I demonstrate this to me?"

"Please prepare a table for the drill, my king!"

After hearing this, King Zhou ordered the palace servants to prepare a square table in the center of the hall.

Luo Shu stepped forward and waved his hand. A set of exquisite movable type printing molds appeared on the table.

When King Zhou saw this scene, he looked at the tools on the table curiously, his heart full of curiosity and expectation about unknown things.

"Your Majesty, these are the molds for movable type printing, also known as type molds, and these are the movable type blocks. Each word is made separately and can be freely combined as needed."

Luo Shu fiddled with the letter model on the square table and continued:

"My king, please tell me the content of a sentence and I will arrange these characters in the order you said."

Upon hearing this, King Zhou said bluntly:

"To spread knowledge to the world is beneficial to the country and the people, and the contribution will last for thousands of years...!"

King Zhou casually said a passage of words, and Luoshu arranged the character templates according to the content.

Afterwards, Luo Shu took a piece of white paper, carefully placed it on the movable type block, and then gently brushed the paper back and forth with an ink brush.

After a while, the words on the paper became clearly visible.

King Zhou and Wen Zhong stared at the scene with astonishment evident in their expressions.

King Zhou exclaimed:

"It's amazing! This movable type printing is so convenient. I have never seen such a clever thing."

Luo Shu smiled slightly and said:

"Your Majesty, here is the movable type printing technology I presented to you! What do you think?"

After hearing this, King Zhou knew that the introduction of this technology would bring tremendous impetus to the cultural dissemination and civilization development of the Shang Dynasty.

So King Zhou cleared his throat, opened his mouth slowly, and said:

"I am the ruler of the Shang Dynasty, and I rule the world under the mandate of heaven. Today, I am amazed to see movable type printing. This technology can quickly reproduce books and spread knowledge among the people. It is indeed a good policy that benefits the country and the people."

"I have decided to set up a printing house to vigorously promote this technique, so that the culture of our Shang Dynasty will flourish and the people will live and work in peace and contentment."

As soon as King Zhou said this, the originally azure sky suddenly turned bright golden, as if thousands of golden lights were pouring down from the sky.

The golden light was not dazzling, but instead had a soft and sacred aura that made people feel awe involuntarily.

When Luo Shu saw this scene, he knew that it was the golden cloud of merit sent from heaven.

Sure enough, 70% of the golden clouds merged into Luoshu's soul, and the remaining 30% merged into the bodies of Wen Zhong, Xiaobai, and King Zhou respectively.

All of a sudden, the fortunes of the Shang Dynasty soared for a hundred years. The saints sensed it and were shocked at what had happened in the Shang Dynasty that even the heavens bestowed merit.

They calculated with their fingers, but still could not figure it out. At this time, in Zixiao Palace, Daozu muttered to himself: "Strange number!"

Here, Wen Zhong and Xiao Bai were stunned, especially Wen Zhong, who exclaimed:

"This is a merit! When did it become so easy to get! I must hold on to my brother's thigh tightly, it smells so good!"

King Zhou couldn't see clearly what was happening in front of him, but he felt warm all over and his tiredness disappeared!

Luo Shu's expression remained normal. This was nothing. This was just the beginning!

Wen Zhong and Xiao Bai saw that Luo Shu was not surprised at all, and silently gave him a thumbs up, saying that he was worthy of being their senior brother/master!

King Zhou was overjoyed, looking at the Luoshu, and said:

"Sir, for offering such a skill, I grant you the title of Imperial Master of the Shang Dynasty and let you enjoy the fortune of the Shang Dynasty!"

Luo Shu was stunned when he heard this. What the hell? The imperial teacher of the Shang Dynasty? Isn't this Shen Gongbao's?

Seeing that Luo Shu was in a trance, Wen Zhong pulled Luo Shu, signaling him to reply!

Seeing this, Luo Shu had no choice but to bow and thank the King of Shang for his gift!

After the matter was settled, Luo Shu and others were entertained by a banquet hosted by the King of Shang.
