Tang Dynasty: The Holy Prince, the Dragon that Reigns Over the World

Before he knew it, it was winter in the eighth year of Wude. On this day, Li Chengqian was training with the three armies in the manor. Someone from the palace came to inform him that Li Yuan and Li Shimin had come to Zhao Wangfu and wanted to see Li Chengqian while drinking. Li Shimin asked Li Chengqian to return to the palace immediately. After hearing this, Li Chengqian immediately took a bath, changed his clothes, and rode back to the palace on horseback.

As soon as I entered the front hall, I saw Li Yuan, Li Shimin and Li Yuanba drinking and chatting.

"Grandson Li Chengqian pays respects to the Emperor." "Nephew Li Chengqian pays respects to uncle." Li Chengqian bowed and made a circle. Then he walked to Li Shimin and knelt down.

Watching several people drinking, Li Chengqian had nothing to do and saw the Leigu Weng Golden Hammer on the weapon rack. He couldn't help but feel curious. "It is said that Li Yuanba is the reincarnation of the golden-winged Roc, and his arms are as strong as the four elephants. The pair of Leigu Weng Golden Hammers he uses weighs 800 kilograms. I wonder how the power of ghosts and gods I got from the system compares to Li Yuanba's." Thinking of this, he walked over and reached out to pick up the Leigu Weng Golden Hammer.

"Hey! Isn't it very heavy?" Li Chengqian waved the drum hammer twice and threw it twice. The hall, which was originally filled with laughter, suddenly became silent.

"Qian'er, can you lift your third uncle's Leiguweng Jinchui? When did you get such magical power?" Li Shimin was shocked.

Li Chengqian was startled when he heard this. Oh no, he was so curious that he forgot that Li Yuan was drinking.

"Father, when I was injured and unconscious, I dreamed of an old immortal who passed on to me supernatural powers and a set of painted halberd techniques." Li Chengqian could only attribute all the problems to the ethereal immortal.

"Is it really God's will?" Li Shimin recalled what Li Chengqian said after he woke up from his injury and coma last time. A complicated look appeared in his eyes and he muttered softly.

"Oh? Halberd techniques? Painted halberd is the most difficult to practice, but Qian'er is learning halberd techniques. How about practicing it? But I don't have a painted halberd in my house." Li Yuanba was fond of martial arts by nature, so he couldn't help but ask curiously.

It's no wonder that Li Yuanba was curious. Fang Tian Hua Ji is a heavy weapon, different from light weapons such as spears and guns. Fang Tian Hua Ji is complex to use and has many functions. It requires great strength and skills. It combines the functions of light and heavy weapons. Generally, the user of Fang Tian Hua Ji must be strong and have superb halberd skills to play the advantages of this weapon. After becoming proficient, it can fight against heavy weapons and compete with light weapons in moves and skills. Therefore, the requirements for users are extremely high, but it is very cool.

"This is not difficult. In my palace, there are some weapons preserved from the heroes who died in the battles. Among them is the Fang Tian Hua Ji owned by Luo Fang, one of the Thirteen Guardians and a subordinate of Yang Lin, the King of the previous dynasty. I will ask someone to get it for me." After saying that, Li Yuan sent someone back to the palace to get the Fang Tian Hua Ji.

After a while, two servants came back with a Fang Tian painted halberd. Li Chengqian took the halberd and weighed it. It was about 200 pounds. But it was very light.

Li Chengqian wanted to see how good his halberd skills were, so he invited Li Yuanba to fight. Li Yuanba readily agreed, picked up the Leigu Weng Jinchui and walked to the opposite side of Li Chengqian.

"Qian'er, be careful." Li Yuanba said with a smile.

"Uncle San, please do your best." Li Chengqian held the halberd upside down in his right hand and held it in front of his chest with his left hand. He said seriously.

Li Yuanba, watching his nephew's temperament suddenly change, felt a sense of oppression as if he had met a master. While he was curious, he also looked at him seriously.

"Okay, Qian'er, watch this." Li Yuanba stepped forward and smashed down on Li Chengqian with a move like Mount Tai.

As the saying goes, a general using a hammer and a cudgel cannot be defeated by force, because those who use these weapons are all strong people, and they follow the principle of "one force defeats ten skills". He could dodge this hammer, but Li Chengqian looked at the Lei Gu Weng Jin Hammer in the air and couldn't help but want to try whether he could catch it with force. Thinking of this, Li Chengqian immediately raised his fire to the sky and went up to meet it.

"Bang!" With a loud bang, the painted halberd and the golden hammer collided, creating dazzling sparks. The loud bang made everyone's eardrums hurt. Li Chengqian and Li Yuanba each took two steps back and stood still.

"Good boy, you have great strength. It feels great." Li Yuanba clenched his hands and laughed.

"They say that Third Uncle is the best hero in the world, and his reputation is well-deserved." Li Chengqian said with a smile. His hands were a little numb, but it was okay. Li Chengqian looked at his hands.

"Come again!" Li Yuanba shouted. Having not met an opponent in so many years, Li Yuanba was a little excited.

Then the two men started fighting, halberds and hammers were used, and the battle lasted for two hundred rounds. Li Chengqian struck directly at Huanglong with one move, while Li Yuanba clamped the halberd with both hammers, and there was a "bang". It turned out that the painted halberd could not bear the weight, and the halberd head broke off and fell to the ground.

"I don't want to fight anymore. I lost." Li Chengqian threw the painted halberd to the ground.

"Qian'er, don't be discouraged. Your halberd skills are indeed top-notch martial arts. If it weren't for your unfamiliarity with the weapon, your uncle would have lost in a hundred more moves." Li Yuanba consoled with a smile.

"Third brother, don't praise him too much." Li Shimin was very happy to see Li Chengqian's high martial arts skills.

"Great, our Li family has gained another powerful general." Li Yuan was very pleased.

"Grandfather, I want some good materials to make a handy weapon." Li Chengqian took the opportunity to kneel and beg. Li Yuan agreed in a good mood.

Two days later, Li Chengqian and the Deng brothers were strolling on the street when suddenly someone shouted to sell a precious sword. Li Chengqian walked over curiously and saw an old man standing on the street with a precious sword beside him and a horse behind him.

"Everyone, I am selling my sword. You can try to pull it out for one penny. If you can pull it out, I will give you the sword for free. I will also give you a BMW after you die." The old man said loudly.

Li Chengqian looked at the sword beside the old man, and saw that the hilt and scabbard were simple and nothing special. He looked at the horse behind the old man, and saw that the horse was unusually majestic, with purple hair all over its body, except for a spot of white hair on its forehead, which formed a lightning shape. The horse looked at everyone with disdain in its eyes.

"Master, good horse." Deng Yinlong sighed. Li Chengqian was also pleased. He looked at the wooden box on the other side of the old man. There were already a lot of copper coins. Many people must have tried it.

"Let me try." Li Chengqian curiously threw a penny into the wooden box.

The old man looked at Li Chengqian with surprise in his eyes. But he soon returned to normal. "Young Master, you are polite. My sword is called Qingshuang. It was made by an ancient master craftsman using meteorite iron. It weighs 120 pounds, is three feet long, and six inches wide. It can cut hair and cut iron like mud. Although it is a divine weapon, it will never be unsheathed unless it is chosen at the moment. The good horse behind me is called Zidian. It can travel miles a day and miles a night. Young Master, would you like to try it?"

Li Chengqian nodded, took Qingshuang, and pulled hard. The sword came out of the sheath with a clang. There was a burst of exclamations around. Li Chengqian looked at the sword, and saw that it was sharp and simple, with a green light flowing on the sword body, and there were bursts of cold air. The two ancient seal characters "Qingshuang" were engraved on the sword body. "What a precious sword." Li Chengqian sighed. After everyone dispersed, Li Chengqian put the sword back into the sheath and took the reins of Zidian. Zidian rubbed Li Chengqian obediently with the horse's head.

After Li Chengqian thanked the old man, he was about to leave. The old man stopped him and said, "I am quite proficient in physiognomy. Judging from your appearance, you look extremely noble. Are you from the royal family?"

"That's right. I am Li Chengqian, the eldest son of the King of Qin." Li Chengqian said in surprise.

"My apologies. You are the Prince of Zhongshan (Li Chengqian was conferred the title of Prince of Zhongshan). I am honored to meet you. Your Majesty has the look of an emperor, but you have an overly murderous aura. I hope that when you ascend to the throne in the future, you will not kill too many people." said the old man.

"I appreciate your words, old man. But please don't mention the idea of ​​becoming emperor anymore, because it will be my uncle who will ascend the throne in the future." Li Chengqian replied. After that, Li Chengqian led the Deng brothers, holding swords and leading horses back to the mansion.

“Haha, if I was wrong, I would have lived two decades in vain. However, this boy has a good character.” The old man stroked his beard and chuckled.

One day, the master craftsman who forged weapons for Li Chengqian came to the palace to ask for an audience with Li Chengqian. He told Li Chengqian that because the material was too hard, no one could hammer it, and the hammer broke several pieces. The craftsman had reported it to Li Shimin, who asked them to find Li Chengqian.

Li Chengqian frowned and thought about the solution. Suddenly, Li Chengqian grinned. "I got it." Li Chengqian asked the craftsmen to go back and wait for him, then he led out Zidian, jumped on the horse, and ran to the Zhao Palace.

When he arrived at the Zhao Palace, he didn't report to the emperor, but walked directly to the front of the hall, kicked the door open, and walked straight to the weapon rack. He picked up the drum and golden hammer with both hands, turned around and left.

Li Yuanba was drinking in the hall. When he saw Li Chengqian behaving like this, he was stunned on the spot, holding the wine glass and staring with wide eyes.

"You bandit, I, Li Yuanba, did not die in the battlefield, but I almost scared my nephew to death. No, what are you doing with my drum and golden hammer?" Li Yuanba said in shock when he saw Li Chengqian walking out of the hall.

"Forging iron." Li Chengqian said as he walked.

"Oh, blacksmithing. No, you're using my magic weapon to forge iron? You bastard." Li Yuan angrily cursed. But Li Chengqian had already left the Zhao Palace and rushed to the General Works Department on horseback. Under the guidance of the craftsman, Li Chengqian used the Lei Gu Weng Jin Hammer to hammer the material.

Seven days later, the weapon was molded, and Li Chengqian, Li Shimin, and Li Yuanba all rushed to the scene. When the mold was opened, the sound of thunder suddenly appeared in the clear sky, and the sound of a domineering dragon roared straight through the sky.

"Your Highness. This painted halberd is made mainly of meteorite iron from outer space, with some rare minerals such as cold iron and purple gold added in. It weighs 900 kilograms and is 1 feet long." The craftsman introduced.

Li Chengqian looked at the painted halberd, which was as thick as a bowl. A long purple dragon coiled around the handle, and the dragon scales were clearly visible. Purple light flashed along the dragon's body from time to time. The dragon opened its mouth and spit out the halberd head. Li Chengqian walked over, picked up the painted halberd with both hands, and danced twice. As he danced, the painted halberd broke through the wind and made a dragon's roar. "Well, not bad, very handy." Li Chengqian said happily.

"Give it a name. After all, it was made by my hammer, so it should sound nice." Li Yuanba said with a smile

"From now on, I will call you Purple Gold Dragon Roaring Halberd. Are you willing to follow me to fight in all directions?" Li Chengqian said seriously. The Purple Gold Dragon Roaring Halberd trembled slightly.

Outside the city of Chang'an, the old Taoist who was selling swords looked at the strange phenomenon in the sky and asked in surprise, "A strange phenomenon in the sky?" The old Taoist bowed his head and counted with his fingers, then smiled and said, "Haha, good boy, you got another magic weapon."
