Chapter 214 Dragon God, the First Year of Taihe
In the mansion purchased by Hualong Mansion, Zhu Tianzhi and a group of Hualong Mansion disciples looked up at the real dragon in the sky. They did not exclaim, but knelt down one after another and looked up at the god they believed in.
Even Zhu Tianzhi from the Sixth Cave Heaven knelt down, his whole body trembling and tears in his eyes.
"Grandpa...Father...I really saw a real dragon, a real dragon..."
Zhu Tianzhi's eyes were red and he was extremely excited.
The pursuit of real dragons has been passed down from generation to generation in Hualong Mansion, but since the establishment of Hualong Mansion, thousands of years have passed, and they have not seen a real dragon. At most, they have encountered a dragon, but a dragon is not as majestic and domineering as a real dragon in the sky.
As the world's capital city of the mainland today, the capital has a lot of people coming and going from other places. Many of them see a real dragon for the first time and are equally excited. I don't know how many people come to worship the real dragon.
After circling over the capital city for several times, the white dragon flew back to Longqi Mountain.
This let outsiders know that the real dragon came from the Taoist priest.
Inside the palace.
The skinny and weak Emperor Shuntian stood in front of the imperial study, looking at Longqi Mountain in a daze.
"It is really hard to give up such a kingdom. Daozu, you don't want the imperial power, but you are fighting for immortality and spring and autumn."
Emperor Shuntian murmured to himself, his face showing no pain or reluctance, but relief.
On the other side, Jiang Changsheng brought the white dragon back to the courtyard. The white dragon shrank to three meters long, and its body twisted very lightly.
Jiang Jian and Ping An immediately came over, and even Ji Wujun could no longer sit still.
Jiang Changsheng sat under the Earth Spirit Tree and began to practice.
Two hours later, Zhu Tianzhi came to visit again. As soon as he saw the white dragon, he knelt down and kowtowed, calling him the Dragon God.
After being excited for a while, Zhu Tianzhi came to Jiang Changsheng and said, "Daozu, Hualong Mansion is willing to become your disciple. Please accept us. Hualong Mansion is willing to serve you and the Dragon God. Hualong Mansion also has many demon snakes and pythons with extraordinary qualifications. If Daozu has a method to transform into a dragon, you can always go to Hualong Mansion to choose one."
The value of Hualong Mansion is more than 35 million. This foundation is stronger than Dajing. The most important thing is that Hualong Mansion is a sect, not Yunchao.
Seeing that he didn't seem to be scheming, Jiang Changsheng said, "Well, let's discuss this matter with the emperor and just say that I agree."
"Daozu, can we move Hualong Mansion to Sizhou? We want to protect the Dragon God more than serving the emperor."
"The two are not contradictory. After all, you are not the only one in Hualong Mansion."
"All right……"
Zhu Tianzhi agreed reluctantly, and then he walked up to Bailong and worshiped him.
After a long time, Zhu Tianzhi left reluctantly.
Bai Long came close to Jiang Changsheng and said, "Master, that old man just now was so disgusting. What dragon god? They don't want to eat my flesh, do they?"
Jiang Changsheng touched its dragon horn and said with a smile: "It's okay, you will have to go back to practice soon and you won't be able to touch him."
Everyone was curious about where Bailong was going, but they didn't dare to ask too much.
They already knew that Jiang Changsheng had a secret territory specifically used to transform the bloodlines of monsters.
That night, Jiang Changsheng entered the fog and quietly took Bailong into the Taoist world. After a while, he returned to the courtyard.
Even Ji Wujun would not question it, because even she could not detect Jiang Changsheng's breath, so she didn't know that Jiang Changsheng had not left Longqi Mountain just now.
The next morning.
Zhu Tianzhi went to visit Emperor Shuntian. Emperor Shuntian was naturally happy about the joining of Hualong Mansion. He would not refuse if he could make Dajing stronger before his death. Even if Jiang Che could not suppress Hualong Mansion, he still had his ancestors.
Before leaving, Emperor Shuntian couldn't help but ask, "What realm is the strongest warrior in Hualong Mansion?"
Zhu Tianzhi replied: "Six Cave Heavens, one is me, and the other is my sister. Originally there were three Six Cave Heavens, and one of the elders was bewitched and has passed away for many years."
Six caves!
Emperor Shuntian was moved and was about to say something, but he finally held back. He waved his hand, signaling Zhu Tianzhi to leave.
If it were the case before, he would definitely be excited, but when he thought about dying, he felt bored.
After Zhu Tianzhi left, Emperor Shuntian turned his head and looked through the window, falling on the Longqi Mountain shrouded in fog, with a complicated look in his eyes.
…
In early December, the emperor announced that he would abdicate the throne, and from the New Year of the following year, Crown Prince Jiang Che ascended the throne and became the emperor.
As soon as these words were spoken, the whole court was in an uproar and everyone knelt down and begged. The few ministers who knew the truth remained silent.
"I am old, and it is time for me to give up my throne. From now on, the throne of Dajing will be handed over to you. You must assist the new emperor well, help Dajing to establish a holy dynasty, and help Dajing unify the world."
Emperor Shuntian hunched over and spoke weakly. His hair was already completely white, even his beard had turned pale, and his eyes could hardly open.
In just one year, he aged thirty or forty years, which made the civil and military officials sad. Jiang Che, who was standing in the hall, also felt extremely uncomfortable.
On that day, this imperial edict was sent to all states and overseas islands in the world.
By the end of the year, every place in Dajing knew about this matter. From the next year, the new emperor ascended the throne and changed the reign title to Taihe.
The new year is coming.
The first year of Taihe!
Jiang Che ascended the throne. The coronation ceremony was extremely grand. Ministers were sent from all states, and the lineup was far greater than before.
When the capital city bid farewell to the old year and welcomed the new year, the elderly Emperor Shuntian had already moved to Longqi Mountain and lived in Jiang Changsheng's courtyard.
With the help of Jiang Changsheng's elixir, he can live for a while longer. He wants to meditate in the mountains for the rest of the time.
At this moment, he was playing chess with Jiang Changsheng.
Although Jiang Changsheng's posture was casual, he looked upright, while Emperor Shuntian had a hunched back and had to lower his head to look carefully at the chessboard when playing chess.
He passed his skills to Jiang Che's son, which accelerated the aging of his body, and now even his eyesight has become blurred.
"Alas, Daozu, I'm almost dying, can't you just give way to me?" Emperor Shuntian said helplessly.
Jiang Changsheng smiled and said, "There are many people who can make you happy, so why do you want to play with me?"
Emperor Shuntian snorted, messed up the chessboard with his hands, and said angrily like a child, "I won't play anymore. I can't win no matter what I do. It's boring."
Jiang Changsheng was not angry and motioned Jiang Jian to come over and collect the chess pieces.
Bai Qi teased, "Little Emperor, come and play with me. The master will never give in to you."
Emperor Shuntian turned his head and looked at it, squinting his eyes. After looking at it for a while, he said, "Forget it. It's no fun to play with you. It's insulting even if I win."
“You…are going to die!”
"Yeah, I'm dying."
"Okay, you're awesome."
Everyone couldn't help laughing as they listened to their bickering.
Emperor Shuntian has always behaved very well, and has been like this since he was a child. Now that he is old, he suddenly loses his temper. No one is disgusted and everyone indulges him.
Ye Xundi sighed and waved, "Your Majesty, come and play with me. I will fight cats. I will choose one from Huangtian and Heitian and see who wins."
The martial arts conference has ended. He won first place without any suspense and became famous all over the world. However, he does not feel happy at all now. Instead, he feels melancholy.
When Emperor Shuntian heard this, he was immediately delighted. He stood up and walked to the two cat demons.
Huang Tian said proudly: "Old Emperor, choose me. I am very strong. I can beat Hei Tian with just one claw."
Heitian was not convinced: "It doesn't have to be a normal fight, there must be rules. If there are rules, he may not be able to beat me."
Suddenly, the yard became noisy.
Jiang Changsheng didn't feel annoyed and watched the scene with a smile.
In memory, the nine-year-old little emperor and the current elderly emperor began to overlap.
Another era of Dajing has passed.
Jiang Changsheng was not sad, but instead cherished the last time he spent with Emperor Shuntian.
Although old friends can be reincarnated, before their memories are restored, the reincarnation is between two people.
Jiang Changsheng will work hard to pursue magical powers that can help people restore their memories of past lives, but before that, he will cherish the present.
The days go by.
In early February, Jiang Che came to visit Emperor Shuntian, but seeing that he was doing well, he never came again.
He didn't come again for more than half a year.
Bai Qi and Ye Xundi complained that he was not filial, but Jiang Changsheng could see that Jiang Che often stared at Longqi Mountain in a daze at night.
Jiang Che was not young anymore, and he could not accept that Emperor Shuntian was about to die, so he did not want to come again. Moreover, he knew that it was the safest way for Emperor Shuntian to stay in Longqi Mountain.
He finally got the throne he had always dreamed of, and in the way of abdication he had hoped for the most. But after he actually ascended the throne, he felt endless loneliness. He reached the top, but he felt like he had also lost everything.
Although he was worried at night, he did not waste time during the day.
When a new emperor ascends the throne, he will naturally take drastic measures.
The battle in the West Sea was still going on. Jiang Che once again dispatched a large number of navy to provide support and even asked Hualong Mansion to send three people from the Dongtian Realm to participate in the war. Hualong Mansion had just arrived and naturally wanted to perform well, so they did not refuse.
Jiang Che was very anxious and hoped to conquer Xihai before Emperor Shuntian died.
He wanted to attribute this achievement to Emperor Shuntian.
In June, a war broke out again in the West Sea. This time, Dajing encountered the joint resistance of the three Yunchaos and dozens of overseas sects, but Dajing was too powerful and won a strong victory under the leadership of the masters of Hualong Mansion.
In July, Dajing occupied nearly two thousand islands in the West Sea. Now Dajing has no shortage of people. In order to facilitate the exploitation of the islands, the capital began to sell the islands in the West Sea. Even ordinary merchants can buy them, and they will be escorted by the White Guards.
In September, another major battle broke out, and this time it also ended with Dajing's victory.
In October, Dajing completely annexed the West Sea. This sea area is extremely vast, larger than the 149 states of Dajing in Longmai Continent.
When Jiang Che announced that Xihai was occupied by Dajing, the whole country was excited and shouted "Long live the emperor", but in the imperial edict, the emperor said that this was in accordance with the will of the previous emperor, which was equivalent to telling the world that this was the credit of Emperor Shuntian.
When Chen Li told Emperor Shuntian the news, he remained indifferent.
He has lost his eyesight and hearing. He sits in the yard every day in a daze, quietly recalling his life.
Jiang Changsheng had to come to his side and use the rejuvenation technique to help him temporarily recover his senses. After hearing the news from the West Sea again, Emperor Shuntian was finally moved and he smiled.
He wanted to get up, but stumbled and almost fell. Fortunately, Jiang Changsheng supported him.
Emperor Shuntian raised his head and whispered, "Will Zu... Dajing establish... a holy dynasty... and unify... the world..."
