Under One Person: Starting from the Inheritance of Gods

Chapter 112: Following the Dragon (Please subscribe! Please give me a monthly ticket!)
The trip to Changbai Mountain gave Meng Fan the destiny of having Zhenlin enter his life. Although he didn't know what the benefits were, they would become clear later.

At this time, among the 139 departments.

A man with a stern look looked at Meng Fan's face and said in amazement: "During your trip, your destiny has changed dramatically, and your luck has increased greatly."

Afterwards, his pupils dilated even more, because he actually saw the dragon energy of the earth veins at the root of Meng Fan's nose, floating and lingering in it vaguely.

But, how is this possible?

Only those who founded a dynasty in ancient times could gain the favor of the dragon veins of heaven and earth, and then prosper and be blessed with human dragon energy to stabilize the dynasty. The dragon energy in their descendants is also mostly human dragon energy.

Why did some emperors like to go to Mount Tai to offer sacrifices to the gods?

It is to announce one's own achievements to heaven and earth, so as to gain recognition from heaven and earth and receive the blessing of the dragon energy of the earth.

Such a person who is favored by the dragon vein's luck can be said to be the dragon vein's biological son and the heaven's biological grandson. Although he is not immune to all laws and is accompanied by gods, he is also protected by heaven and earth and will be blessed when in trouble.

The most famous example is Liu Xiu of the Eastern Han Dynasty. According to legend, when he was born, red light filled the room, and three millet plants grew in front of the room, each with nine ears, and there were strange visions on his body.

The dramatic meteorite falling from the sky was the reason for this. He was also called a man favored by God and a great magician by people in later generations.

The man twitched his lips, looked at Meng Fan, and said, "Your personal dragon luck now is no less than that of the person I served before."

"Oh, is it so?"

Meng Fan was obviously very happy: "It's the timing, it's luck, it's also the favor of heaven and earth, I have made some contribution."

The man was also defeated by Meng Fan's Versailles-like words and sighed, "Sometimes I really doubt whether you are the true dragon emperor destined by heaven?"

"But after learning about the modern times, I found that it is impossible for the emperor to exist."

Then, the man cast a suspicious look at Meng Fan and asked, "Did you experience any strange phenomena when you were born? For example, did your mother dream of a real dragon entering her belly, or a mountain entering her arms?"

Meng Fan shook his head decisively: "No."

He recalled the scene when he was just born, and a few black lines appeared on his forehead. He was lucky to be able to keep his life. It was really a dragon entering his belly.

If there really was a real dragon in his belly, Yuan Tiangang would have killed his mother long ago in order to maintain the orthodoxy of the Li Tang bloodline.

The man asked again and again, but got no answer.

Afterwards, the man said that he didn't want to stay here anymore and chose to return to the Yellow River.

Meng Fan looked at the man in front of him with an icy temperament, raised his eyebrows and asked, "Have you really decided?"

This person is none other than the spirit of Chen Huang and Chen Tianyi that was brought back by Meng Fan before, and also the life of the Bingyi boy.

Meng Fan specifically sought out a Chaos sub-body as his carrier, and then used the method of offering sacrifices to the gods to obtain the descent of the Bingyi concept godhood. Now his male image was only created by the method of false form, and his true body was an ice dragon.

Bing Yi said resolutely: "This is my fate. I am the Yellow River God. I will return to the Yellow River. From now on, I will be the God of the Yellow River. I will definitely protect the livelihoods of the people on both sides of the Yellow River and keep the Yellow River calm."

"Okay, since you've made up your mind!"

"Sign this and you can go out. Then I'll send someone to take you to the bank of the Yellow River."

What Meng Fan brought over was just an agreement, which included many clauses such as not to deliberately appear before the saint, to protect the ecology of the Yellow River, to help quell natural disasters, etc.

In fact, even if Bingyi refused to sign, Meng Fan still had various ways to control him. After all, this Chaos sub-body was provided by Meng Fan, and Bingyi's godhead was summoned from the incense and vows using the method of offering sacrifices to gods.

Asking him to sign the relevant terms was only to deal with the above document.

Bing Yi only glanced at it and signed without hesitation, and the contract was concluded. "Don't you want to take a look?" Meng Fan asked in surprise.

"What if the terms in it are disadvantageous to you?"

Bing Yi shook his head and said with a smile, "I have been out for so many days, and I have learned most of the modern knowledge. I naturally know what you want. It goes without saying that I should do what I should do. It is my responsibility."

"I know this shouldn't be done, and I will definitely not make it difficult for you."

Seeing that Bingyi was so tactful, Meng Fan naturally didn't say anything more.

-----

On the bank of the Yellow River, late at night.

Bingyi no longer had the image of a stern man, but had transformed into a gigantic ice dragon. Its dragon scales were like blue crystals, its body was slender and rugged, its dragon beard was fluttering, and its breath was filled with ice fragments.

Dense clouds of energy rose from its claws, exuding a majestic and magical air. The dragon twisted its body and entered the muddy Yellow River.

The ice dragon turned its majestic head back to look at Meng Fan, and a thoughtful look appeared in its ice-blue eyes. It said in a deep voice: "Before we part, I have something to tell you."

"The one who bestows it is Heaven, the one who tells it is the gods, and the one who makes it happen is destiny. When the Yellow River is clear, a sage is born; when the village altar rings, a sage emerges; when a group of dragons appear, a sage is employed."

"When the mind is clear and bright, the spirit is like a god. When the desire is about to come, it must be opened first. When the sky rains, the mountains and rivers will be covered with clouds."

Meng Fan nodded and continued, saying: "The greatest virtue of heaven and earth is life, the greatest treasure of a sage is position, how to maintain position is called benevolence, how to correct others is called righteousness."

“Thus, the ancient kings ruled the world with one person, rather than letting the world serve one person.”

"I know exactly what you mean!"

Meng Fan bowed, and both the man and the dragon said goodbye.

On the way back, Gao Dazhuang asked in confusion, "Tian Gong, what were you talking about with Bing Yi? I couldn't understand."

Meng Fan rolled his eyes at him, and said, "If you don't understand, look it up yourself."

In fact, what the man and the dragon just said was "On Destiny" written by Li Kang during the Three Kingdoms period. It explains the cause and effect, the principles of prosperity and decline, and can be regarded as a masterpiece of all ages.

And Bingyi vaguely revealed a meaning through this article.

A sage is clear-minded and has a god-like temperament and ambition. When his desire to rule the world is about to come, the gods will prepare wise ministers to assist him while paving the way for him, just as clouds appear in the mountains and rivers when timely rain is about to fall from the sky.

In other words, he is willing to contribute to Meng Fan's future goals and gain the merit of following the dragon.

Meng Fan also made a guarantee, saying that he would become a wise and benevolent monarch in the future and bring great benefits to the world.

It seems that Bingyi also seemed to have sensed something, otherwise he wouldn't have said that. However, it should be more of an investment. Meng Fan is definitely a first-class potential stock.

All I can say is that as someone who has been in the officialdom of the previous dynasty, no matter how upright his character is, he still wants to accomplish great things.

What will be Meng Fan’s future like?

Does it just stop at being the Lord of the Dynasty?

Why can't he be the Lord of Heaven and Earth, the Lord of the Three Realms, or the Lord of Heaven?
And by following Meng Fan, it might be possible for him to truly become the ancient dragon Bingyi in myth and legend!
