Chapter 3: The Dragon King of Taihu Lake

The monk's construction speed was fast, and the materials in Xu Jingxuan's ring kept flying out, and they quickly took shape under Xu Jingxuan's control.

Li Ke and Zheng Dechang talked about kung fu, the palace, or the water god mansion has been built, the mansion is carved and painted, tall and majestic.

Xu Jingxuan flew away to collect rocks and build a ten-mile long bridge.

"Zheng Fujun went to the lonely king's mansion to recognize the door, and he can chat with the lonely king in his leisure time in the future." Li Ke invited Zheng Dechang.

"Lord Wang, please". Zheng Dechang was respectful, and he stretched out his hand to signal Li Ke to go first.

The main hall of the water god mansion is majestic, the top of the hall is as high as ten meters, and in the main hall, there are eight pillars in the arms, and the space is wide and empty.

There is a white marble pedestal in the middle of the main hall, which is the base of the statue, and there is no statue on it at this time.

Li Ke walked up to the stone seat and sat down cross-legged, and the whole person looked down on the hall like a stone statue: "What does the prince think?"

Zheng Dechang opened his mouth, not knowing how to open his mouth.

"The god of the prince living in Taihu Lake will surely bless the Quartet."

"Huh". Li Ke's face was expressionless with a smile.

There are some living wings at the back of the main hall, which can be built, and the subtleties need to be renovated by Li Ke himself.

"Blessed be you, go to the post station and call them and tell them that we are home." Li Ke commanded.

"It's the prince". Youfu looked at the temple and sighed, from now on, the prince was afraid that he would be trapped here, so he got on his horse and went to the post station.

At noon, Li Ke's servants and guards all arrived, and Youfu commanded the servants to enter the wing room behind the main hall and stay.

"Your Highness, Poor Dao is fortunate not to be dishonored. On Yunwu Mountain, the annex has been built, please go down and accept it to see if you are satisfied." In the afternoon, before the sun set, Xu Jingxuan came to restore his life.

"There is a long way to go, and I am very satisfied." Li Ke didn't go to check, he glanced at the ring on Xu Jingxuan's hand and thanked him.

"The duty is, since His Highness has nothing to do, he will take his leave." Xu Jingxuan arched his hand, his eyes narrowed slightly, and left in the air.

The next day, the guard general sent by Li Shimin came to ask for delay, preparing to return to Chang'an to resume his life.

Li Ke waved his hand to sign his name and let them leave.

Standing on the stone bridge, Li Ke looked at the undulating water of Taihu Lake, looking from afar, there was a demonic spirit steaming in the lake, and if he wanted to subdue Taihu Lake and become the god of Taihu Lake, he was afraid that there would be some trouble, but before that, Li Ke first had to become the god of water.

The position of the water god is very restrictive, but Li Ke has his own calculations.

Back in the main hall, Li Ke looked at the empty stone seat and thought about what material to shape the statue of the god.

Folk statues of gods are generally clay sculptures, wood carvings, and stone carvings.

No matter how good it is, it is copper pouring, gold casting, and jade carving.

These are all conventional ways to make stone statues, not that one is the best, it depends on the material.

Everyone thinks that the clay statue is very poor, but what if the clay material is thin soil?

Li Ke has to make a choice now, what materials he needs to use to make a god statue.

At present, with his financial resources, it is better for him to be able to cast pure copper, and pure gold cannot be afforded by his financial resources.

By the way, in the wooden box given by his mother, there is a ring that is quite similar to the one Xu Jingxuan wears. Li Ke suddenly thought.

The solid wood box was full of some gold and silver belongings and jewelry, and Li Ke didn't care too much.

After seeing Xu Jingxuan's space ring, Li Ke thought of the box given by the Yang family, a ring that was incompatible with those belongings.

The rings are relatively simple, and these pearlescent jades are eye-catching together, and Li Ke didn't think about the space rings originally.

Li Ke took out the ring to test it, and used his spirit to perceive that nothing was found.

He tried to drip blood directly, and the blood slowly entered the ring, and the ring flashed and became as bright as silver.

Again, with mental perception, the space in the ring is huge, about the size of a football field.

Most of the gold, silver and jade that are full of treasures are virgin ores that have not been processed.

There are no treasures that are too precious, they are all mundane treasures, things that can be spent at will without attracting attention.

Li Ke counted his belongings, these gold and silver minerals were enough for ordinary people to spend for several lifetimes, and he didn't know where the Yang family got them.

There is also a letter from the Yang family in the ring, which probably means that Li Ke should live honestly, don't care about anything, stay in the palace and don't go out, and be a rich man.

This ring was given by Yang Guang when the Yang family was a princess in the previous dynasty, and now the Yang family has given it to him.

Li Ke was speechless, and his mother was worried, and the Yang family didn't ask Li Ke to do anything, so they wanted him to live a safe life, even if he was imprisoned for a lifetime.

It's a pity that Li Ke comes from the afterlife, and it is impossible to be silent.

Li Ke took out a piece of white cold jade and examined it, and the material of the statue was there.

"Blessed". Li Ke shouted.

"What does the prince command?" After a while, Youfu ran from behind.

"Prepare melons and fruits, three animals, incense and candles, and open the Divine Mansion tomorrow." Li Ke commanded.

"Lord Wang". Youfu stared at Li Ke's back with wide eyes.

"Think twice". Blessed are you on your knees.

"I've made up my mind, let's go and prepare." Li Ke's voice was cold.

"Lord Wang". Youfu's voice was choked, Li Ke grew up watching him, he didn't expect that as a prince, he would come to this point.

"Go for it". Li Ke waved his hand.

"Yes, the old slave will go." Blessed to kowtow to Li Ke, he left the hall with a sad face.

"I don't know if it can be done". Li Ke whispered, a little worried about the plan in his heart.

The next day, Li Ke bathed and changed clothes, and the servants had already arranged the hall properly, the three animals and fruits were arranged, and the hall was dressed in red and green, but there was no joy on the servants' faces.

The servants who can follow here from Chang'an are basically old men who follow Li Ke loyally.

"Today is the happy day of the prince, cheer up." Blessed said, his cuffs were wet and soaked with tears.

Li Ke, who was dressed in full costume, walked into the main hall, and the first thing that caught his eyelid was a white jade statue like Li Ke.

The statue of the cold jade god stood with his head held high, holding the sword at his waist with his left hand, and his right hand resting on his chest, wearing a jade carved battle armor.

"Lord, you don't have an heir yet!" the blessed voice almost pleaded: "Please wait a while, the prince will leave an heir."

Li Ke closed his eyes and said for a long time: "Let's start."

"Yes, Lord Wang". Blessed closed his eyes in disappointment, disheartened.

The opening ceremony of the Divine Mansion began, Li Ke sat on the futon, and the government monarch Zheng Dechang led the officials and gentry to worship the heavens and the earth.

"Respectfully request the Emperor's decree". The prince shouted.

Youfu took out the holy decree and handed it to Zheng Dechang with both hands.

Zheng Dechang hurriedly bent down, raised his hands above his head, and took the holy decree.

He held the decree and bowed three times to the north, opened it and read it.

Li Ke sat upright with his eyes closed, and the dragon soul in the purple mansion was restless.

After Zheng Dechang finished reading the holy decree, he glanced at the main hall, and sighed in his heart when he saw Li Ke with an expressionless face.

At this time, Ma Laodao stepped forward and said, "Lord Wang, please forgive the poor Dao for being rude." Ma Laodao in Qingyang Temple is holding a jade bowl.

Li Ke stretched out his right hand, Ma Laodao's hand flashed with spiritual light, piercing the index finger of Li Ke's right hand, and Li Ke took the opportunity to use the exercise to force out a blood arrow and fall into the jade bowl.

"Good strong recovery". Ma Laodao looked at Li Ke's finger and praised it secretly as his index finger healed in an instant.

Ma Laodao collected his heart, picked up the jade bowl and recited the words, and a talisman pen in his hand, dipped in Li Ke's blood to open the eyes of the jade statue.

Ma Laodao finished the spirit opening spell and nodded to Zheng Dechang.

"Please return to the throne of the King of Taihu Lake". Zheng Dechang shouted, and the holy decree immediately shot out a golden light, hitting Li Ke's body, pulling this Li Ke's soul out of his body.

Li Ke was calm and urged the dragon soul in the purple mansion.

The golden light of the Holy Decree had no wisdom, and immediately locked the dragon soul and pulled the dragon soul in Li Kezi's mansion out of the body from the center of his eyebrows.

After the dragon soul left his body, Li Ke felt like he had been torn in half. Suddenly there was another perspective.

The golden light wrapped the dragon soul and sank into the center of the jade statue's eyebrows.

"Lord Wang". Looking at the golden light, blessed and sorrowful came from the heart, and fell to the ground to mourn.

"Lord Wang". Li Ke's maids and servants all knelt on the ground.

Li Ke's dragon soul felt that he had entered a cool place, and just as he didn't know what was wrong, Zheng Dechang turned to face the jade statue and recited the holy decree again.

Li Ke felt that there was a rule in the heavens and the earth that made his jade statue transparent, and the dragon soul could wander in it.

Zheng Dechang respectfully put away the holy decree and handed it to Youfu, and Youfu took the holy decree and put it on the right hand of Li Ke's statue, and the palm of his hand just held the holy decree.

"We meet the King of Taihu Lake." Zheng Dechang bent down and saluted.

"We meet the King of Taihu Lake." All the people in the hall bowed down and saluted.

Outside the main hall, the people who were summoned by Zheng Dechang in a hurry knelt down to kowtow to the King of Taihu Lake.

Li Ke felt that the dragon soul was light, and he completely integrated into the jade statue, and the appearance of the jade statue also changed slightly, and a pair of white jade dragon horns grew on the top of his head.

"Dragon-kun". Ma Laodao exclaimed.

He glanced at Zheng Dechang and bowed again: "We will meet the Dragon King of Taihu Lake."

In Chang'an of the Tang Dynasty, Tang Emperor Li Shimin was reviewing the chapters, and suddenly he felt a surge of luck and golden dragons on his head.

Li Shimin closed his eyes and communicated with the golden dragon, only to see that there was a special luck in the golden dragon's luck, and he immediately understood that it was Li Ke's Shinto luck.

Li Shimin opened his eyes and sighed in his heart, he sat on the dragon chair for a long time: "Let's go to Concubine Yang's palace tonight."

"Yes, the old slave will go and inform the mother."

"No, the widow is going to see her." Li Shimin got up and walked into the harem.

In the four seas, the water god Bo stirred, and the name of Taihu Lake Dragon Monarch suddenly appeared, but for the dragon king, the earth fairy realm is too big, and the water veins in the world change hands too often, and no one cares about the extra name of the water god Bo.
