Mythology card making

Chapter 110: An unavoidable part of Chinese mythology, the beginning of the Climbing the Dragon Road (please vote for me)

The Dragon King is the king of water tribes in the world in Eastern mythology. He is in charge of bringing clouds and rain, good harvests and blessings.

It is the product of the fusion of Chinese dragon culture and the image of the Tianzhu Dragon King.

It is also one of the most popular gods among people for thousands of years.

The incense temple is no less important than the city god and the land.

The ancients believed that wherever there is water, from rivers, lakes and seas to wells, streams and ponds, there are dragon kings stationed there.

Therefore, when a place experiences long-term drought, people often go to the Dragon King Temple to burn incense and pray, or drag the Dragon King statue to the scorching sun to "pray" for rain.

During the Republic of China, there were even extreme cases of cannon fire on the Dragon King.

In short, the Dragon King has an extraordinary status in Chinese mythology.

Its belief was established in the Tang and Song Dynasties, and gradually became a household name with the popularity of books such as "Journey to the West" and "The Romance of the Gods".

In various film and television works, they often appear as villains.

In "Journey to the West", after they were robbed by Brother Monkey, they went to the Heavenly Court with the King of Hell to file a petition, and then led the Sidu Shui Tribe to besiege Monkey;
In the TV series "Mazu" starring a certain female artist surnamed Liu, they are against the fledgling Mo Niang;

In "Nezha Makes the Sea", which was once introduced into primary school Chinese textbooks, they even forced Nezha to remove his bones and cut his flesh...

In short, in the film and television dramas Luofu has watched, as long as the mythical boy band "Dragon Kings of the Four Seas" appears, it will definitely cause some trouble for the protagonist group.

There are rare times of "greatness and righteousness".

And their younger disciples and nephews often appear in various works of art as villains.

The Dragon King of Jinghe who violated the rules of heaven for a moment, the Dragon King of All Saints whose daughter and son-in-law are both thief, the little dragon who makes trouble in the Blackwater River, the third prince of the East China Sea who wreaked havoc on the people in "Nezha Haohai"... all will end. Great.

The slightly bad artistic image of the shrimps, soldiers and crabs in Chinese literature about gods and ghosts is probably due to their influence.

"Although his reputation is a bit complicated, he is still the Dragon King no matter what."

"It combines the power of Chinese dragon culture and the legend of Tianzhu Dragon King."

"It not only has the great power of raising clouds and spreading rain, eliminating disasters and relieving difficulties, but also has the responsibility of protecting the Buddha's Dharma and guiding and blessing all living beings."

"It influences the three religions, and is related to the ancient dragon legend. The belief is widely spread among the people, and it has literary roots."

"Antiquity, religion, literature, folk...these are the four major categories of mythology."

"Even big IP battle gods like Brother Monkey and Zhenjun can only account for three. If they stick to each other, they can barely count as four."

"The Empress only occupies both the religious and civil realms. She was included in my core carding target list purely based on the conferrals from successive emperors and the terrifying distribution of beliefs."

"This old dragon is good. Among these four, he has an extraordinary status."

The reason why Luofu chose [Snake in the Well] as the transformation target is mainly because the essence of the concept of [Dragon King] is a link that cannot be avoided in Chinese mythology no matter what: dragon!
Its status needs no introduction.

Just one sentence "descendants of Yan and Huang, descendants of the dragon" is enough to explain everything.

Qinglong, Yinglong, Red Dragon, Oolong, Golden Dragon...

No matter which version of the myth it is in, "dragon" is a symbol of high power and great terror.

According to a rough calculation, Luofu's development goals include no less than five "dragons".

The problem is, there is a limit to the number of cards a card maker can bind at each stage.

Five dragons can almost occupy his binding quota of one or two realms.

In this card world with complex elements and ever-changing elements, the Kaling race is too single, which is not a good thing.

If he really dares to build so many dragons, once he encounters a terrifying existence with [Dragon Slayer] characteristics in a certain battle in the future, the end will undoubtedly be very miserable.

In the same way, there was an important reason why he chose Brother Monkey as the third core card spirit, which was to use his identity as [Demon King] to target possible units such as [Immortal Killer] and [Desecrator].All in all, there can be dragon legions, but dragons that exist as independent card spirits must not have too many.

The elements are single and the positioning is repeated.Never a good thing.

However, there are only a few protagonist-like immortals and gods in Chinese mythology, and when it comes to the race of "dragons", it is even more difficult to break one's head.

Even if a single character traces its origins and pursues multiple versions, the amount of information it contains will hardly support a core summoning card that meets his demanding requirements.

There is a high probability that it can only exist as a normal summoning card or a supreme summoning card.

But now, the emergence of a new summoning card has virtually illuminated a new way to reach the sky for him!
For other card makers in this world, "knowledge" is the most precious and scarce thing, and it is not easy to piece together a set of information.

There is essentially no difference between the core summoning card and the new summoning card, except for the problem of getting fat first and then getting fatter.

In this case, the new summoning card's strengthening method similar to the identity card is its exclusive advantage.

From now on, he can use this to hide the advantages of all mythological groups with the same characteristics that are fragmented and not core, and merge them into one card!

It is worth noting that the new summoning cards occupy the binding quota of the core summoning cards.

After breaking through to the stream level, he only unlocked two binding places.

You still need to be cautious when choosing your goals every day.

"Dragon can naturally enter without thinking."

In Luofu's memory, this time and space also has the concept of "dragon". Among the known upper-level secular gods, there are two dragons in the common concept.

The mood of the blue people towards "dragon" is more of awe.

Earlier, it was regarded as an absolutely evil and terrifying creature.

In recent years, with the rise of the card network and the explosion of information, people's impression of this race has also changed to a certain extent.

Overall, generally on the bad side.

"It's time to change your mindset."

It's easy to shake a mountain, but it's hard to shake a person's original impression. It's even harder!
But Luofu still wanted to try.

Just for the words "descendants of Yan and Huang" and "descendants of the dragon".

He is indeed not a good person, but he also has his own pursuits.

If you don't do some things, you always feel... something is missing.

"Anyway, do your best."

Luofu leaned on the sofa, slowly closed his eyes, and tapped his right fingers on his knees unconsciously.

After about 5 minutes, I took out a piece of A4 drawing paper from the experimental table and wrote down the required materials:

1. Dragon blood, dragon beads, dragon tendons, dragon bones, dragon skin bags and other dragon-related materials;

2. Cut-out puzzles of events related to dragon transformation such as [Loach transforms into a dragon], [A hidden dragon emerges from the abyss], [Snake transforms into a dragon], etc.;

3. An architectural puzzle with the theme of "Palace Made of Crystal";

4. Several weapons and equipment puzzles, no limit on category or value, only "treasure" is required;
5. Several beads with special abilities;

6. Blue prince suit and corresponding identity puzzle;

7. Several level [-] sea-type cardling puzzles;

8. All remaining funds will be exchanged for aquatic growth resources.
