erlang dragon

不一刻半空中金光一陣，來了一尊神，顯露真形，祥雲冉冉而下，有五言律詩為證：

頭戴三山帽，金盔殺氣沖。連環披甲響，威肅襯袍紅。橫插腰懸劍，歟窺隔掛銅。隨帶哮天犬，兼乘號驥龍。華山曾救母，追日顯神通。

所奉符敕來者，乃是二郎神，殺氣英雄，開口如轟雷問曰：「法師有何差遣？」

In no time, a burst of golden light appeared in the sky. A deity descended, revealing his true form. Auspicious clouds drifted down, and a quatrain in five-character regulated verse bore witness:

Wearing the Three Mountains Hat, a golden helm exuding auras of battle.
Chainmail armor resounds, its severity complemented by a crimson robe.
A sword hangs at the waist, a copper mirror slung over the shoulder.
Accompanied by the Xiaotianquan and riding his well bred dragon.
On Mount Hua, he once rescued his mother, and his pursuit of the sun displayed his divine powers.

The one summoned by the talisman was none other than Erlang Shen, a hero exuding martial vigor. His voice thundered like rolling lightning as he asked, "What task do you have for me, magician?"
