"Thank you for leading the way, Little Master Hui En. This is a token of my appreciation for the temple!"
Madam Ye, Ye Fashan, Li Yu, and the others ascended to the top floor of Songyue Temple under Hui En's lead. Madam Ye chuckled as she took out a small stack of Tangyuan from her sleeve and passed it to the little monk.
The little monk stole a glance at the Tang Yuan in Madam Ye's hand and was stunned. All of them were in the denomination of ten Tang Yuan. Adding them all together, it was at least a hundred Tang Yuan! This was really a big deal. His eyes could not help but reveal a look of greed!
"Amitabha! Madam Ye, I don't dare to accept such a huge sum of money! "
The little monk quickly hid the greed in his eyes and clasped his hands together.
Madam Ye smiled and said, "Money is just a worldly possession. This old woman only wants my master to be able to recover quickly. This money is firstly to add some incense money to the temple and accumulate some merit for my master. Secondly, I want Master Hui En to help me look after the temple and not let anyone come up to disturb this old woman praying for my master. After all, if this praying is interrupted, then it would seem that my heart is not sincere, and Buddha will definitely blame me! Little Master, don't you think so? "
A trace of excitement flashed through the little monk's eyes, and then he said, "Amitabha. Madam Ye's true feelings for County Deputy Ye will definitely move the Buddha. I'll help Madam Ye guard below to prevent outsiders from disturbing Madam Ye's prayer!"
After saying that, he took the Tang Yuan from Madam Ye and hid it in his sleeve quietly.
Madam Ye clasped her hands together and said, "Thank you, Little Master Hui En!"
The little monk nodded and left.
"Fashan, Miss Li Yu, let's go in!"
After the little monk left, Madam Ye said softly.
Li Yu nodded and said gratefully as she walked, "Thank you for helping us. If it wasn't for you, Little Yu 'er would have to spend a lot of effort to come here!"
She was right. Songyue Temple was usually not open to ordinary pilgrims, let alone the top floor.
Madam Ye smiled and said, "It's okay! As long as it can solve this crisis, I am willing to do anything. Miss Li Yu, now that no one is disturbing you, quickly try to see if your telegraph works! "
"Okay! Alright! "
Li Yu nodded and walked to an incense table. She began to fiddle with the telegraph.
Ye Fashan, who was standing at the side, finally couldn't help but say, "These Buddhists are hypocrites. They are greedy for money and profit. They eat the fat of the people and don't do anything productive. They are indeed the scourge of our Tang Dynasty!"
As a Taoist, he didn't like Buddhists. Just now, the little monk Hui En's little trick made him very angry. However, he also knew that the situation was urgent, so he had been holding it in. Now that there was no one on the entire fifteenth floor of the pagoda, he expressed his dissatisfaction!
Just now, the abbot of the temple had been staring at him because he had felt the pure Taoist aura on him. A Taoist priest came to a monk's temple to pray for blessings. Presumably, the abbot was in a state of confusion for a moment.
Madam Ye smiled and said, "Monk, what's the point of saying all this now? As long as Miss Li Yu can achieve her goal here and send the news back to Chang 'an, my money will be well spent! "
"Yes! Second aunt is right! "
Ye Fashan nodded. At this moment, he finally turned his attention to Li Yu. "Miss Li Yu, how is it?"
Li Yu heaved a sigh of relief and said, "I just sent it. I'm just waiting for a reply!"
Then, she clasped her hands together and bowed to the Buddha statue. "Buddha, please bless Mister. He will definitely receive the news!"
This was the last method she could think of. If it still didn't work, she would be completely out of ideas!
…
Actually, sending a telegraph from a high tower could indeed send it further. The principle was similar to the early television towers in modern society.
Back then, television towers were usually built very high to expand the range of electromagnetic waves that could receive and transmit signals. This was because electromagnetic waves were easily affected by obstacles near the ground. They would weaken or change. This was not conducive to signal transmission. However, there were no obstacles at high altitudes. In addition, the electromagnetic waves could be transmitted further from high altitudes.
Perhaps Buddha had heard Li Yu's request, or perhaps Li Yu's method had played a key role.
Lantian County, Yunshan.
Yanhuang College Dormitory 007. Suddenly, there was a "di di di" sound. Meng Wenhao, who was reading on the bed, suddenly sat up and ran to the telegraph machine. He quickly picked up a pen and started to record the code.
"Mister, are you there?"
This string of code was very short. Meng Wenhao quickly recorded and translated it. Looking at the four words on the paper, he was indescribably excited. "It's Little Fishy! It's Little Yue! She had finally replied to the letter! That's great! No! Maybe she's in an emergency. I have to reply to her quickly! "
Meng Wenhao forcibly suppressed his excitement and sat down to reply to the telegram. "Little Fishy, I'm here. I'm Meng Wenhao. I'm helping Yamachō look after the telegraph machine!"
Without flipping through the password book, Meng Wenhao sent the telegram directly. Ever since he received the telegraph machine and password book yesterday, he had already memorized the password in the password book by heart!
He knew in his heart that once he encountered such an emergency, time waits for no one. If he replied quickly and translated the code quickly, he could buy Li Yu a moment more!
This was a matter of life and death!
"Di ~ Di ~ Di ~!"
On the top floor of Songyue Temple more than four hundred miles away, everyone was quietly waiting for the telegraph machine to ring again. At this moment, they all felt that time was passing very slowly. It was like a year!
Finally, after much anticipation, the telegraph machine finally emitted a series of "di di" sounds. Little Fishy immediately moved. She bent over the table and quickly recorded the code. After a moment, she stood up and said with a face full of ecstasy,
"We did it! We did it! There's a reply from Chang 'an! It's Wenhao. He said that he's helping Mister look after the telegraph machine! "
She was really happy. Firstly, it was because she had been rescued from a hopeless situation. Secondly, it was Meng Wenhao who received the telegram!
"That's great!"
As the saying goes, seeing is believing. Now that they had witnessed the miraculous function of the telegraph machine, Liu Rengui and Madam Ye were completely convinced!
Ye Fashan quickly took out a piece of paper from his sleeve and said, "Little Fishy, quickly send the information over! This is the current situation in Guancheng County that I've organized. It's already the most concise sentence. Quickly send it over! "
"Okay, okay!"
Li Yu took it. Then, she compared it to the password book while manipulating the handle of the telegraph machine to send the telegram.
For a moment, only the sound of "di di di" could be heard in the room!
Fortunately, Madam Ye had asked the little monk to guard downstairs to prevent anyone from going up to the fifteenth floor. Otherwise, if someone came up and heard the strange sound, they would definitely push the door open and investigate!
