The huge dragon body climbed up from the sandy water to the shore, and then transformed into a jade-faced man.
The people from Donghai Dragon Palace, who had been waiting here for a long time, immediately came to greet them.
"Fourth Prince..." A turtle demon who still retained the turtle shell before his transformation came forward and said, "You are here!"
"If you don't come, I will go back to Donghai to invite you!"
The one who came was none other than Ao Ding, the fourth prince of the Dragon Palace of the East China Sea.
Ao Ding patted his sleeves and said: "The Prime Minister doesn't know something. Recently, a true dragon vein from the ancient times was found in Gu's fiefdom!"
"The quality is extremely high, no less than the ancestral veins of Wenya!"
"The rise of a lonely dig will come late!"
The turtle demon listened and immediately asked: "How much did the Fourth Prince dig?"
"Three thousand stones!" Ao Ding said proudly.
When the turtle demon heard this, his eyes lit up!
Bezoars are now the wealth of the entire East China Sea!
Especially the high-quality ancient mineral veins are, in the eyes of the Dragon Clan, a treasure mine made of sky silver!
Especially with the increasing demand for bezoars in China, especially the demand for high-quality bezoars.
In today's Donghai Dragon Palace, it can almost be said that you can get rich while lying down.
The dragon palace is full of incense, as the dragon clan's genus.
Being a turtle demon has countless benefits!
The most direct benefit is, of course, the hope of immortality.
However, the turtle demon has no time to rejoice now, because he and the entire East China Sea Dragon Clan have more important things to do now!
Naturally, there is only one thing that can make the money-hungry Dragon Palace temporarily shelve wealth - a matter of life and death!
The turtle demon gathered his thoughts and then said to Ao Ding: "Fourth Prince, do you know the mission you have to shoulder this time?"
"Yes." Ao Ding nodded: "Father has already told Gu!"
"The Dragon Clan of the East China Sea must not fall behind!"
"Must become the first batch of princes in China!"
It has happened since ancient times that the dragon clan became the princes of the human race.
Ever since the Holy Emperor Xuanyuan of the human race, relied on his invincible royal division in the battle of Zhulu, he annihilated the Lich coalition led by Chi You, completely allowing the human race to determine the protagonist position in the world, the dragon race has always been a vassal of the human race!
In the era of the Three Sovereigns and the Five Emperors, the dragon clans from all over the world needed to pay tribute to the human clan.
During the reign of the Human Emperor, the successors of the Dragon Kings of the Four Seas Dragon Clan began to be canonized by the Human Emperor.
And this tradition continued until the Zujia era of the Yin Shang Hui Yuan Dynasty.
After Zu Jia, the Yin Dynasty lost its Wang Shi.
Naturally, it is impossible to canonize the Dragon King.
Only then did the Dragon Clan of the Four Seas turn to embrace the lap of heaven and rely on the Jade Emperor's canonization to consolidate their status.
However, every dragon in the Four Seas Dragon Clan knows that once a new Holy King appears in the human race.
Then, the Dragon Clan will inevitably return to their historical status - vassals of the human race!
Now, right at our doorstep, a brand new Taoism is beginning to flourish.
The East China Sea Dragon Clan is not blind.
I saw swarms of stingrays appearing in the port of China.
After seeing the glory of the King Master radiating from the water tribe militiamen who went out to sea to mine.
The memory engraved in the blood of the East China Sea Dragon Clan was immediately revived.
The instinct to hug your thighs reoccupies your IQ.
However, do you want to embrace China’s lap?
But it’s not that easy!
Because, in this emerging orthodoxy, the human race still occupies an absolutely dominant position.
However, under the Human Race, the Monster Race, Witch Race, Water Race and even the Asura Race all have legal status.
Moreover, these water tribes are not like the human race in the past, they are just spectators!
They really have the power and qualifications to participate in China's power game.
The most terrible thing is that these Chinese aquatic tribes are very unfriendly to the East China Sea dragon tribe!
Usually when they go to sea and meet the patrol envoys from Dragon Palace, they always ignore them!
At first, Donghai Dragon Palace thought that it was a proud vassal of this new Taoist tradition, and did not take it seriously.
Until, the Dragon Clan of the East China Sea also participated in the excavation of feces.
Their exchanges and contacts with China continued to increase.
The Dragon Clan of the East China Sea suddenly realized this, and then they were sweating profusely and panicked.
What a disaster from heaven!
The Dragon King was even more trembling.
Because the Dragon King knows what the East China Sea Dragon Clan is going to face?
A new orthodoxy is not scary.
The scary thing is that this orthodoxy has shown the appearance of an imperial dynasty!
What’s even more terrifying is the master behind this orthodoxy!
Although Ao Ding didn't know this, he also understood that the matter was serious, otherwise he would not have abandoned the deep-sea mineral vein and rushed to Liucheng immediately.
"Fourth Prince, this matter... is extremely difficult..." Turtle Demon said: "From top to bottom in China, the human race does not have any ill will toward our East China Sea Dragon Clan..."
"It's this Chinese aquatic tribe..." The turtle demon also sighed when he said this.
Ao Ding's expression immediately became gloomy: "I don't know why this land-based aquatic tribe hates my East China Sea Dragon Palace!"
"It's obviously all the evil obstacles created by those evil dragons and evil dragons..."
All living beings in China are equal.
The water tribe occupies more than 20% of the subtleties in the ‘Supreme Council of Living Beings’!
Among the more than 40,000 students in front of Tianzun Seat, there are thousands of Shui Tribe disciples!
This is a huge force.
It is a terrifying force that makes the two forces of East China Sea Dragon Palace fight!
Because, this force has deep malice towards the entire East China Sea Dragon Clan, including Dragon Palace!
reason?
These water tribes claim that decades ago, they were oppressed by both 'tyrants' and 'villains'!
The so-called tyrants have all been sent to the six realms of reincarnation by them.
Only this 'villain' has not yet been liquidated.
The "evildoers" in the Shui tribe of the Hua Kingdom refer to those dragon tribes who have been employed by the Lu, Qi, Ju, Jin, Cao, and Song countries.
But, what does this have to do with the East China Sea Dragon Palace?
The dragon sons and grandsons of the East China Sea Dragon Palace are all dragons with their tails between their legs.
Let alone committing evil acts, they have never even been ashore!
He has always lived in the Dragon Palace and only moved around in the sea at most.
Just afraid of meeting Nezha!
Then he was skinned and cramped!
The turtle demon also sighed repeatedly and said: "Prince, I have explained these matters to Hua Guo many times..."
"Others are fine..."
"No matter how we explain the water tribe of China, we will insist that they were also born in the East China Sea and are under the jurisdiction of our Dragon Palace!"
"Since you have done something wrong, Dragon Palace must bear the consequences!"
"For now, we can only spend money to eliminate disasters!"
Ao Ding sighed: "This is the only way!"
"My father has already made it clear to me... As long as we can get the understanding of China and welcome back the pox, then I, the Dragon Palace of the East China Sea, will accept the fight and accept the punishment!"
"It is also appropriate for Lonely to personally apologize to the families of those former 'victims'!"
This is when people are under the eaves and have to bow their heads!
Vaccines can prevent and treat acne.
But, for East China Sea Dragon Palace, this is not the key.
The key is that obtaining the vaccine has become a qualification in a sense.
Anyway, this is how Prime Minister Turtle of Dragon Palace understands it.
According to the advice of the old prime minister who, although he was only an Earth Immortal, had lived from the Pan Geng era to the present and served several dragon kings.
According to the human race's moral tradition, only the closest and most intimate princes and vassals can obtain the 'sharp weapon of the country' like vaccinia.
Therefore, as long as the East China Sea Dragon Palace can welcome back the 'pox vaccine' from China.
It is equivalent to announcing to all the aquatic tribes in the entire East China Sea: We have been recognized by China.
The canonization is just around the corner!
The turtle demon shook his head: "Your Highness the Fourth Prince, there are already some clues about this matter..."
"The General Administration of China has posted a notice. Those who want to buy the vaccine can go to the General Administration of China to apply..."
"There are no restrictions on this now!"
When the turtle demon said this, he lowered his voice and said: "It is said that it is the decree of the 'Tianzun'..."
When Ao Ding heard this, he immediately stood in awe: "The True Immortal of Mercy! The True Immortal of Mercy!"
The turtle demon lowered his head and said in frustration: "But in this case, our Donghai Dragon Palace wants to show its attitude by welcoming back the pox, and there are twists and turns again!"
"I heard that many demon kings of the East China Sea Tribe are also trying to make a move, and they all want to use this matter to challenge the authority of my East China Sea Dragon Palace!"
The authority of the East China Sea Dragon Clan to rule the East China Sea has two sources.
The first one is the decree of the Taoist ancestors who ordered the Dragon Clan of the East China Sea to guard Haiyan in order to atone for their sins.
However, Daozu's decree has never been clear, nor will the legality of the East China Sea Dragon Clan's rule over the East China Sea be clarified.
It was the second source that truly made the Dragon Tribe of the East China Sea the co-owners of the East China Sea and subdued those rebellious and ambitious demon kings of the Water Tribe.
Back then, during the Battle of Zhulu, the Dragon Kings of the Four Seas all responded to the call of Holy King Xuanyuan, and as vassal troops, they followed the human king's division and swept across Chi You's army.
After the war, merit was discussed and rewards were given, and the Dragon King of the Four Seas asked the Holy Emperor Xuanyuan for canonization.
The Holy Emperor happily agreed!
This is the Dragon King of the Four Seas, the source of legitimacy and authority to rule the four seas!
The Holy Emperor of the human race has the Constitution of Heaven in his mouth, and he follows the law as he says!
However, now the Holy Emperor has retired to the Fire Cloud Cave and will never be born again.
Therefore, all dragon clans in the four seas need new legitimacy and authorization.
Now, relying on the heavenly decree is actually not safe, and the authority is not stable either!
That is to say, it took a whole Huiyuan before the Holy King was born to form such a pattern.
Otherwise, once the Holy King is born, he will be recognized by heaven and earth.
Then, all the rivers, lakes, mountains and lands in this world will be the land of the Holy King!
This is: the whole world is not the king's land, and the shore of the land is not the king's ministers!
In front of Master Wang, anyone who dares to resist or obstruct will be crushed into powder!
Therefore, the Dragon King of the East China Sea is not static.
Changes in royal power and transfers of thrones have also happened in the past.
During the Pangeng era, a Dragon King was deposed and the throne was inherited by Xiao Zong.
For the Holy King who spoke of the Heavenly Constitution, deposing the Dragon King was the same as belittling his ministers.
One word and a word!
When Ao Ding heard this, he frowned and twisted his eyebrows into a mountain shape.
As the fourth prince of the Dragon King of the East China Sea.
Ao Ding knew that there was actually a brother named Ao Bing above him.
And the former third prince was skinned and cramped by Nezha at the gate of Chentangguan, and tortured to death!
After this lesson, Ao Ding's nerves were very sensitive.
Because he knew that once those demon kings replaced the East China Sea Dragon Palace.
Then in the future, the transfer of legal authority of the East China Sea Dragon Clan will be inevitable.
Who stipulated that only dragons can rule the Dragon King of the East China Sea?
there has never been!
Before the Lich Tribulation, the real master of the East China Sea was not the Dragon Clan!
The dragon clan at that time was just the dragon clan that guarded Haiyan.
There is no East China Sea Dragon Palace!
"Mr. Turtle..." Ao Ding thought for a long time and finally made up his mind and asked: "You said, Ruogu will give the 'True Dragon Transformation Sutra' secretly passed down by my dragon clan to this Chinese water tribe monk for training..."
"As compensation, maybe we can get forgiveness?"
The turtle demon was shocked when he heard this, but then he shook his head: "Your Highness, the Fourth Prince, if it were the Shui Tribe in other places, this method would probably work!"
"The water tribes in other places are obsessed with transforming into dragons..."
"In order to get the chance to transform into a dragon, I often do whatever it takes!"
"But...this Chinese aquatic tribe is extraordinarily different!"
"They don't want to transform into dragons, and even despise transforming into dragons!"
"And... as far as I know, these outstanding leaders of the water tribe have already walked out of their ways!"
Ao Ding was stunned: "Is there such a thing?"
He couldn't believe his ears!
Since Emperor Xuanyuan, the Dragon Clan has become the co-owner of the Water Clan again.
All aquatic tribes in the world take transforming into dragons as their main priority.
This Chinese water tribe actually despises Hualong?
The turtle demon nodded seriously.
Ao Ding suddenly became anxious: "What should we do?"
His original intention was actually to strengthen the power of the East China Sea Dragon Palace through the 'True Dragon Transformation Sutra' which is not spread to the outside world.
At the same time, he also planned to use this to give the East China Sea Dragon Palace an opportunity to steal the status of the Chinese Aquatic Tribe in China in the future.
In that case, by virtue of its status in this new orthodoxy, the East China Sea Dragon Palace may become the co-lord of the Four Seas Dragon Clan!
This was the idea given to him by his father!
This is also a clever plan that Donghai Dragon Palace came up with after long discussions.
However, this wishful thinking had already come to nothing before it even started.
"For the current plan, we can probably only take one step at a time!" The turtle demon sighed: "Your Highness, the Fourth Prince, you should go to the General Manager's Mansion to apply for the vaccine first!"
"If we go too late, there will be a demon king who can take the vaccine back to the East China Sea before we can..."
"Even if we get the vaccine back, it will be extremely disadvantageous!"
Ao Ding immediately said: "That's exactly what it should be! That's exactly what it should be!"
Immediately, led by the turtle demon, he galloped towards the General Manager's Mansion in Liucheng.
…
Xu Ji's figure slowly appeared from behind the Dragon King Prince.
"Unexpectedly, the Dragon King also wants to become a 'prince' of China..."
"Interesting! Interesting!"
Xu Ji has been paying attention to this matter since the vaccine was promoted.
Through the willow tree, he paid attention to the vaccination status in various parts of China in real time.
Everything is going smooth!
Some people who have completed vaccination have returned safely after traveling to epidemic areas.
This proves the reliability of the vaccine!
But what Xu Ji didn't expect was that this incident would trigger overt and covert struggles among various surrounding forces.
In the direction of Chu State, small countries that were formerly vassals of Chu State have actively requested vaccines from China.
Now, even the East China Sea Dragon Palace has joined in.
Naturally, their intentions could not be hidden from Xu Ji.
All of them actually wanted to use the antidote to pox to strive internally and externally to become vassal 'princes' of China.
"Princes?"
"It is indeed the tradition of this mythical world!"
In this mythical world, in the past millions of years of history, all dynasties have only ruled the royal territory, which is the core land covered by the sacred tree.
In addition to the sacred tree, there are all enfeoffments, which are authorized to the princes to shepherd and guard them.
In Xu Ji's eyes, the feudal system was undoubtedly backward and decadent.
However, this mythical world is really too big!
Just Nanzhanbuzhou, where the Kingdom of China is located, is a vast continent that is nearly a hundred thousand miles from east to west and tens of thousands of miles wide from north to south!
And there are three continents as big as this!
The distance between the four major states is extremely far.
From Nanzhanbuzhou to Xiniuhezhou, the land route is one hundred and eight thousand miles!
Even the nearest Dongsheng Shenzhou, facing each other across the East China Sea, is more than 80,000 miles away in a straight line!
Judging from the current technological level of China, it is almost impossible to directly rule such a vast area.
Including willow trees, I don’t know what the limit is that can be covered.
Therefore, Xu Ji also hesitated.
"Calculate the time, the conversion will be quick!"
"When we return to Blue Star, let's ask Professor Chen Ke about this matter..."
"In addition, I will have more resources, manpower and material resources at my disposal on Blue Star!"
"By brainstorming, you should be able to find some good ideas!"
