The Rise of The Mythical Dragon

North Sea

This sea area covered by ice and snow all year round has no one to guard it since Ao Shen left. However, in the empty Dragon Mansion, there are still powerful dragons spreading out to protect the North Sea.

A dragon roar suddenly sounded, and then he saw a huge white dragon penetrating the clouds and appearing in the sky among the clouds above the North Sea.

As soon as Ao Shen's huge dragon body stopped in the sky, a golden light flashed from the far east, and it was in front of Ao Shen in an instant.

Looking at the person coming, Ao Shen's dragon body waved, then turned into a human form and stood in the sky, bowing to the turtle prime minister.

The Prime Minister Turtle was slightly startled, then hurriedly spread his wings to one side, waving his hands and saying, "Dragon King, don't be too polite."

Dragon King?

Hearing this call, Ao Shen was slightly startled, his expression full of doubts. If he remembered correctly, there is only one Dragon King under the Dragon King now, and that is Ao Mo'ang of Zhenxi Dragon Palace. That's right, when did you become the Dragon King?

Seeing the confused look on Ao Shen's face, Prime Minister Gui smiled slightly, cupped his hands and said, "I would like to congratulate the Dragon King first, and then I will read out the Dragon King's decree."

Ao Shen returned to his throne, and now he returned to Beihai first, but he received the order from the Dragon Emperor.

Ao Shen did not dare to neglect, and hurriedly bowed, facing the direction of the East China Sea, and listened to Prime Minister Turtle begin to read out the Dragon Emperor's decree.

"Now, by the order of the Dragon King, to inherit the way of heaven, Beihai Ao Shen voluntarily reincarnates, enters the world to practice, and teaches countless disciples. The foundation of our Dragon Temple for ten thousand years. With profound merits, I now decree that Ao Shen is the North Dragon King of Beihai Longfu Town, and controls Beihai. Territory, fulfill the responsibilities of the Dragon King, and assist our Dragon Palace for eternal inheritance!”

As soon as he finished speaking, he saw a golden light condensing in Prime Minister Turtle's hand, and then a large seal appeared in Prime Minister Turtle's hand.

I saw that the big seal was ordinary. As soon as it appeared, it flew towards Ao Shen.

Ao Shen caught the big seal with both hands, his wrist suddenly sank, and he looked at the big seal in his hand with some surprise.

Subconsciously pouring his own dragon power into it, the big seal was followed by a dragon roar that resounded throughout the world. The powerful pressure of heaven flowed from the big seal, and in an instant, Prime Minister Turtle felt a surge of power. Strong pressure.

On the other hand, Ao Shen was looking at the big seal in his hand with burning eyes, and he was very excited for a moment.

Now that his merits have been added to his body, he has reshaped his dragon body, and with the help of luck, his cultivation has reached the quasi-sage level. Now he has been promoted to the position of Dragon King by the Dragon King, which can be regarded as fulfilling his father's wish.

Thinking of this, Ao Shen bowed in the direction of the East China Sea and said, "Thank you Dragon Emperor for your kindness!"

Prime Minister Turtle smiled slightly, cupped his hands, and then turned around and left.

…

Fa Tian transformed into a dragon and passed away. This news spread throughout Chang'an City in an instant, and the next day Li Shimin spread the decree outside the palace.

Master Fa Tianzang was granted the title of Imperial Master of the Tang Dynasty. A nine-story tower was built in the Dragon Temple to enshrine the holy body of the Master. Master Xuanzang was granted the title of Master of the Long Temple in Chang'an.

At this time, Xuanzang set off for the palace after receiving the order. His journey to the west had become a foregone conclusion and no one could change it.

Daming Palace, Qinzheng Palace

As soon as Xuanzang entered the palace, he bowed and bowed. There was no need to kneel before the Longmiao Zongsheng. After the bow, a chamberlain put the futon up.

Li Shimin and Xuanzang sat looking at each other in the main hall, and then waved their hands to let the others exit the hall, intending to have a good chat with Xuanzang.

"Is the mage ready?"

After asking, Xuanzang nodded slightly, and then said, "Yes, I'm ready to go west."

Seeing that Xuan Zang had decided to leave, Li Shimin did not stop him, but nodded slightly, and then said: "Since the master is leaving, I originally planned to send someone to accompany him, but before his death, the respected master said that there is someone who is destined for you along the way. I won’t do it repeatedly, so I’ve prepared some other things.”

As he said this, Li Shimin clapped his hands, and then saw a chamberlain coming in from outside the hall, holding a tray in his hand.

I saw two robes placed on the tray, one white and one gray, which are the robes that only Dragon Temple Temple Sects are qualified to wear. There is also an extremely beautifully crafted staff in them, which is obviously also used as a matching set.

There is a book on this thing, which is the customs clearance document of the Tang Dynasty, and its role cannot be underestimated.

During this trip, all Li Shimin presented as gifts were practical things. Seeing this, Xuan Zang bowed to express his gratitude.

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for the gift."

Hearing this, Li Shimin smiled slightly, and then said: "It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter. The Master is traveling westward for the people of the Tang Dynasty. I only regret that I can't accompany him, otherwise I will not let the Master go alone."

Xuanzang smiled slightly and said nothing more, but started chatting with Li Shimin.

Li Shimin spent the whole day debating scriptures with Xuanzang, making Li Shimin look forward to Xuanzang even more.

After returning to the capital from the westward journey, doesn't Xuanzang, who is so powerful now, say that he will become even more powerful?

Thinking of this, Li Shimin couldn't help but feel a little excited.

After coming out of the palace, Xuanzang went into seclusion in Chang'an Dragon Temple, waiting for the time to come.

…

The journey from Chang'an to Yumen Pass in the west was the ultimate path for the Tang Dynasty to leave the Western Regions. It was a constant battle here, but it was also the ultimate path for merchants from all walks of life in the Western Regions.

War and prosperity are intertwined, making it seem a bit magical.

It's just that recently there have been fewer merchants in Yumen Pass. It is said that a group of thieves from outside the pass are different from ordinary people, and their methods are cruel and unheard of.

The Tang army in the city was cleared several times, but instead of wiping out the thief, it actually lost a lot of its troops.

At this time, people in Yumen Pass were in panic, but no one knew how to deal with these people.

Early this morning, before the city gates were opened, many bows and arrows were shot into the city. The merchants in the city and the Tang army all knew the contents of the letter.

In order to retaliate against the Tang army for clearing them up, these thieves actually gathered nearly ten thousand thieves and planned to break through and kill no one!

"You bastard! So arrogant! If you treat our Tang army like nothing, I will cut these thieves into pieces with a thousand knives!"

There was a loud shout from the government office, and a captain wearing a Tang army armor had a stern look on his face, with cold light shining in his eyes. He was obviously very upset by this letter.

There were many people in the room, but they all looked sad.

Cruel words must be said, but the robbers outside Yumen Pass are not that easy to deal with. If it were as easy as they said, they would have been killed in an instant, and how could they be here now?

But among this group of people, there was a young man with a calm expression, and his face did not change at all.

Many people with sad faces glanced at the young man from time to time, as if waiting for the young man to speak.

"The robbers outside the city are weird. I, the Tang Cavalry, have always been invincible, but this time none of them came back. This shows that the other party is not that simple."

Above the main seat, a general looked a little strange. His eyes fell on the young man. Seeing that he didn't speak, he had no choice but to name him.

"Huang Tianlu, tell me what's wrong with this group of bandits?"
