Ming Dynasty and New Rome and Infinite Magic Machine

Chapter 1030 Dragon

Not everything that needed to be done had been completed, and the imperial court had not agreed to hand over all 80 million people to the East China Sea Dragon Palace for handling, but Ao Zang did not insist on it.

After receiving Shangluo's decision to "discuss later", he took the order and left.

【Why do I feel weird? 】

"It's easy to understand. If he asks for interest, not only will the imperial court have objections, but the Edo shogunate, as the party involved, will also have to debate. But if he says that all 80 million people can be turned into lobsters, then the shogunate will be willing to discuss the interest."

[Is that how you think about it? I knew that, but I never thought that I could take these things out at any time.]

"In fact, I also think that this old Dragon King is too skilled. How come he is just like a lawyer, speaking fluently about legal provisions?"

Seeing Shangluo's doubts, Master Sa said to him, "Because the dragons don't usually live in the Dragon Palace."

"Don't they live in the Crystal Palace in the East Sea? Then where do they live?"

"Let me put it this way." Master Sa thought for a moment, "Donghai Dragon Palace is actually a listed company."

"???"

"Yes, you heard it right. The East China Sea Dragon Palace is actually a company specializing in import and export business. Their headquarters is actually in Ryukyu. At the same time, the Dragon Palace is also the main god worshipped by the Ryukyu Kingdom."

"Don't they go to sea?"

"The Dragon Palace is indeed in the sea. But the Dragon King usually lives in his office in Naha City on the main island of Ryukyu. You see, I have my own cave, but I usually travel between Yujing and Nanyang."

"So that's why he knows our civil law so well?"

"That's right." Master Sa Tian nodded and said, "He has my business card, so he asked me to be a witness before coming here this time, so that he can explain things clearly in front of you. You know there is a Ryukyu Iruhua Department Store next to the Gaoli Department Store in Jinjikou? Longgong is their major shareholder."

"Oh, this. I thought the Dragon King lived in the Dragon Palace and blew bubbles."

"He's not a goldfish. For a dragon, cultivation is of little use. Dragons are the result of miracles. Whether they cultivate or not, they are as old as the heaven and earth. So instead of staying under the water blowing bubbles, most dragons actually live in our society in human form. Look at that little Hong at the bottom of the mountain. I see her running around every day, but I don't see her cultivating in the Taiye Lake."

"So that's how it is," Shangluo asked again, "By the way, isn't the Dragon King of the East Sea Dragon Palace Ao Guang? Why is this one called Ao Zang?"

"Ao Guang is the ancient Dragon King. Just like kings ascending and abdicating on earth, the Dragon Palace has also changed generations - but there is one thing you may have discovered: all dragons have the same surname. Because dragons are not born from parents, and dragons cannot give birth to real dragons, they can only give birth to flood dragons. There are many ways to ascend to dragons. For example, if the essence of heaven and earth in a certain place is auspicious enough, then by chance, a spiritual creature will ascend to become a real dragon. So dragons are like stone monkeys. After shedding their mortal bodies, they all regard the sky as their father and the earth as their mother, so they simply have the same surname." [Ah, I remembered your unlucky senior brother. ]

“Well, the emperor is indeed unlucky.” Master Sa shook his head, “But from another perspective, his skills are great, otherwise he wouldn’t have been able to create such a miracle, it’s just that his luck is bad - and after ascending to a true dragon, just like hundreds of rivers flowing into the sea, a dragon will eventually go to the sea, enter the Dragon Palace, and be listed in the list of true dragons.”

"By the way, why didn't Xiaohong go to the East China Sea?"

"Because Taiye Lake is a landscape pond, it only has water pipes and sewers connecting it to the outside world, so she can't go there." Master Sa Tian shook his head, "I don't know if this is a good thing or a bad thing. But she has Taiye Lake as her cave, so it doesn't matter whether she goes there or not. The Dragon Palace in the East China Sea is the cave of the Dragon King, and participating in the politics of the Dragon Clan may not be as comfortable as being in the capital."

"I'm still a little confused - what exactly is a dragon?" Shangluo asked, "Dragons seem very mysterious, but not mysterious at all? Their birth is unpredictable, but they seem to live very casually."

"You should know this better than me," Master Sa Tianshi replied, "but you have witnessed the birth of a dragon with your own eyes. I don't like to talk about scriptures, so I will just put it in plain words: Dragons are a natural phenomenon. When a miracle happens, a dragon will be born miraculously. For example, seeing a dragon in the field means that a saint is born. It is not because a real dragon comes that a saint will be born. It is only after a saint is born that a real dragon will appear in the field."

[Why does it sound like some kind of star? The Oracle also believes that when there are stars in the sky, it means something good is happening. But those stars are just tool stars.]

"The same is true for dragons." Master Sa nodded in response.

[Doesn't that mean that dragons are useless after they are born? ]

"Of course not." Master Sa Tianshi replied, "After each baby is born, sometimes it is due to marriage, sometimes it is due to love, sometimes it is due to alcohol, etc., and sometimes it is a combination of these. But no matter how the baby is born, it is an independent individual after birth. Just like Sun Wukong was born from the magic stone that Nuwa used to repair the sky, and was created for the purpose of repairing the sky. But what Sun Wukong did himself obviously had nothing to do with the opportunity of his birth - so the sky is the father and the earth is the mother."

[But Miss Hong below calls the Queen Mother "Grandma".]

"This is the lifestyle she chose, and I think it's great."

"Ah," Shang Luo pressed his forehead, "I have no idea what the social structure of dragons like these is like. How should I deal with them?"

"This is also what the Dragon King considers. So he usually doesn't come to the capital, and only establishes contact with us in an indirect way - such as doing business. When doing business, everyone is trying to make money, so our goals are the same. This is also the way dragons understand humans. Therefore, Daojun and I both encourage these dragons to come out of the Dragon Palace and find some work to do in addition to eating incense and offering sacrifices."

"Oh, right." Shangluo suddenly stood up. "If the Dragon King is in Ryukyu, does the Ryukyu Kingdom know about it?"

"Of course they don't know." Master Sa shook his head and said, "How could the Ryukyu Kingdom know? Although the Ryukyu Kingdom regards the Dragon Palace as its main god, the Ryukyu King actually doesn't know that the Dragon King is less than one kilometer away from him in a straight line. He also doesn't know that there is a dragon who likes to cook in his kitchen. There are many other dragons living in human society. Dragons can be big or small, can rise or hide. When they are big, they can create clouds and mist, and when they are small, they can hide their shapes. If a dragon wants to hide, how can mortals see through it?"
