In the Great Tang Empire, near Xuanzhou City in the Great World of the West.
Li Chengqian sat by the Han River, his eyes closed in deep thought. On the surface, he looked calm and steady, but in his heart, thousands of grass mud horses were running repeatedly--because he had crossed over.
He had never expected that he would transmigrate when he woke up after eating and sleeping like usual.
Or had he transmigrated to the Great Tang Empire, to the nominal successor of this massive empire, the Crown Prince of the Great Tang, Li Chengqian?
Unfortunately, before Li Chengqian, who had just transmigrated, could enjoy the decadent life of a feudal society, he found himself in Xuanzhou City on Shannan East Road, dealing with the Han River flood as a special envoy.
Li Chengqian only opened his eyes when he felt someone walking in front of him. He woke up from his memories and asked,"Priest Liu, how is it?"
The one who sighed was an old Taoist priest named Liu Yuxu. He was a cultivator from a Taoist temple outside Xuanzhou City. It was said that his cultivation was not bad, and he was a first-class land immortal. He was also the junior brother of the Tang's number one wizard, Yuan Tiangang. This time, Li Chengqian had specially entrusted him to enter the Yangtze River to communicate with the Dragon Tribe about the flood.
Yes, this world was different from the past. Immortals and Buddhas were everywhere, and demons and devils were everywhere. In Li Chengqian's memory, Wei Zheng had just killed a Dragon King, and Chang 'an was going to hold a Water and Land Assembly soon. Obviously, this was not an ordinary Tang Dynasty, but the Tang Dynasty in the Journey to the West.
In such a world, there was naturally no need to evacuate the river like in other worlds. All they needed to do was to ask the Dragon King in the river.
"Your Highness!" Priest Liu bowed respectfully to Li Chengqian and said with a bitter smile,""The Dragon King of the Han River said…that unless a hundred pairs of boys and girls are provided every month, there will never be a day of peace in the Yangtze River!”
Halfway through Priest Liu's words, Chen Xuan's face had already turned black as charcoal. He shouted angrily,"How dare you spy on the people of the Great Tang?”
Under Li Shimin's leadership, the Great Tang's national strength was rising day by day, and the surrounding barbarians had submitted to him, bowing their heads and calling him 'Heavenly Khan'. On the surface, it truly looked like it was extremely prosperous and insufferably arrogant.
However, in the eyes of immortals and Buddhas of different levels of power, it was nothing. Wei Zheng had only executed the Wei River Dragon King out of a political need for the Journey to the West. Most of the time, the Tang Empire was powerless against immortals, Buddhas, demons and devils.
Even the waning dragon race was never polite to humans. Just like now, even a small Han River Dragon King dared to openly ask for the sacrifice of young boys and girls.
"It seems they've predicted that the Great Tang can't do anything to them!”Li Chengqian narrowed his eyes and looked at the rarely calm Han River.
Even if the Great Tang were to invite the immortals of the Heavenly Court, they would probably end up settling the matter.
After all, the demons and ghosts that pervaded the Great Tang might not be known to others, but Li Chengqian, who had transmigrated, knew that they were inextricably linked to those immortals and buddhas.
If the world was peaceful, wouldn't those immortals lose their jobs? Where did the incense come from?
As for the small countries outside the borders, the immortals and buddhas were even more unscrupulous. Their disciples, pets, and demons occupied cities or even countries, rearing humans as food. In comparison, the Great Tang could be considered a paradise on earth.
"In that case, Daoist Liu, let's go back first. I'll report this matter to the Heavenly Court and let them investigate this matter!”It was unknown what he thought of, but Li Chengqian's face that was originally filled with anger calmed down again.
Just as he was about to leave with his subordinates, the surface of the Han River suddenly surged and rolled. A moment later, a group of people filed out of the water.
The one at the front had a golden face that glowed with purple light. There was a horn on his forehead, and his appearance was no different from a mortal. He wore golden armor, a golden winged helmet, and held a halberd. He looked extraordinary.
"Who is it? Protector!"
Donggong Youwei and Yang Chao shouted loudly. Although they were a little afraid of these non-humans, they still brought their guards and stood in front of Li Chengqian.
"Who is the mortal Crown Prince, Li Chengqian?" Aoyun floated on the surface of the water, looking down at the mortals in front of him with a lofty gaze.
"I am. May I know how you address me?”
Since the other party had already called out his name, Li Chengqian did not panic. He stepped forward and calmly replied.
"I am the son of the Han River Dragon King, Aoyun!”Aoyun looked at Li Chengqian and suddenly sneered,""Don't you mortal emperors always say that you're the true dragon and son of heaven? Why aren't you reacting when you see me now? This prince will give you a chance. Come up and kowtow to me three times and acknowledge me as your grandfather. In the future, when you say that you are the son and grandson of a dragon, you can be more confident!”
"Are you looking for trouble?" Li Chengqian's smile froze. He had never thought that a mere son of the Han River Dragon King would dare to treat the Tang Crown Prince with such an attitude.
" You…" Li Chengqian was filled with anger. Just as he was about to say something, he suddenly stopped.
At this moment, he could no longer care about the arrogant Aoyun. All his attention was attracted by the progress bar that had existed for a few days in his mind.
The progress was 99%. Then, it jumped slightly-progress 100%!
