On the Huangpu River in the suburbs of the magic capital, it was the middle of winter, the sky was gloomy and cold, and the wind was cold, blowing everything gloomily, and it also blew the riverside inaccessible, but it couldn't blow away the sorrow in Liu Wen's heart.

Liu Wen walked alone along the river with a fishing rod in one hand and a small bucket in the other hand to face the cold wind, looking for a fishing mouth, and saw a few small bushes of reeds at the bend of the river.

After Liu Wen put the bucket and hung the bait and threw the rod, he sat on a rock slab that was washed by the river, his eyes fell on the buoy, but his eyes were confused and scattered, and his mind had long been lost.

Liu Wen and his girlfriend Chu Chu broke up three months ago, and the two were admitted to the same university in the same year. After graduating from college, they worked hard together in the magic capital for more than three years, during which their personal relationship has been very stable, but when it came time to talk about marriage, they finally broke up because of a very cliché thing.

Regarding the house, Chu Chu wanted to have a real home in the city, but the high housing prices made Liu Wen unable to meet Chu Chu's seemingly excessive request.

Chu Chu proposed that the two families should make up for a down payment, but Liu Wen has always thought that in order to buy a house, it is not worth it for a person to become a house slave for most of his life. Why do you have to buy a house? Can't you rent a house? If you want to leave the city in the future, isn't the countryside with green mountains, green water, birds and flowers more suitable for living and more comfortable to live in?

For more than a year, the two quarreled and quarreled over the house, and finally both of them were tired of arguing, and breaking up seemed to have become the only choice.

How can we say that we can let go of the relationship of six or seven years, and we can forget it if we forget it? This time, on a cold day, Liu Wen ran to the river alone to fish because he wanted to distract himself.

Suddenly, the fishing line collapsed, and Liu Wen, who was deeply touched, subconsciously lifted the fishing rod, and a black gourd the size of a thumb swung in front of him.

The fish hook happened to be hooked in the middle of the gourd combined with the thin neck, Liu Wen picked up the gourd and looked at it carefully, it seemed to be gold and not gold, like jade and not jade, and the body surface was embossed with some peculiar patterns, I don't know how much time it took to be soaked and washed by the river, but the whole body was intact and clean and abnormal.

Although Liu Wen couldn't see any preciousness about the gourd, he felt that he had some fate with this gourd, and it seemed very good to tie it around his neck as a hanging ornament, so he put the gourd in his pocket.

After hanging the bait and throwing the hook again, this time the buoy just landed on the surface of the river, and suddenly sank away, "There is movement!" Liu Wen quickly lifted the fishing rod but found that it could not be pulled at all. "It's a big deal!" Liu Wen was surprised and then worried, this time he bought an ordinary fishing line, and I am afraid that the big goods will not be able to catch it.

However, to Liu Wen's surprise, the large goods in the water had already surfaced and climbed onto the river bank before he could pull the rod again. A large soft-shelled turtle, a super large soft-shelled turtle with a carapace of more than one meter.

Liu Wen saw the big soft-shelled turtle shaking its head as if nodding to himself, and the situation in front of him almost subverted what Liu Wen knew in his life, it was a cold winter, although the river was not frozen, but didn't the soft-shelled turtle have to hibernate all the time in winter?

"Do you have something to ask me for help?" The big turtle in front of him seemed to be quite spiritual, Liu Wen remembered the stories he had seen about some animals taking the initiative to ask for help, so he pointed to himself and asked.

Seeing the big turtle nodding again, Liu Wen took a few steps forward and squatted down in front of the big turtle and said, "Say it!"

"Ahh Liu Wen took a few steps back and pointed at the big turtle with some annoyance and asked, "Why are you ......?"

"Don't worry about those who are destined! I also have to do it as a last resort for everyone to be able to communicate correctly!" An old voice suddenly sounded in Liu Wen's head, and he swallowed back Liu Wen's words to ask the big turtle.

"Are you talking to me?" Liu Wen asked incredulously, pointing to the big turtle.

"It's me!, what's the problem, let's talk about it slowly after the black gourd you just got at the Blood Sacrifice!. The big turtle nodded and continued.

Liu Wen dripped blood on the gourd according to his words, and after the gourd absorbed three drops of blood, Liu Wen inexplicably had some more rapid breath in his brain. As soon as Liu Wen thought about it, the gourd turned into a tattoo and melted on Liu Wen's chest.

The gourd is called the Demon Spirit Hu, which is specially refined by a human immortal power for his own demon pets. In ancient times, the human race had fairies and demon tribes, and there were also goblins, and the human race and the demon race could enter into a contract, and the two sides fought together. The contract is divided into three categories: natal and equal and master and servant, equality and master and servant are literal, and there is no quantitative limit, but the natal contract requires both parties to be completely voluntary and have only one chance in their lifetime, because once signed, both parties have the same fate, life and death are shared. Later, due to unknown reasons in the world, the spiritual veins of the earth slowly and gradually depleted, and no longer produced aura, and finally the powerful immortals and goblins had to withdraw from this realm. After a long time, in a world where the aura is almost non-existent, only the legends of the gods and goblins and the occasional few treasures left by the fairies and demons are left, including the demon spirit gourd that the immortal powerfully estimated to have lost the imprint of the divine soul after the accidental fall.

"Old soft-shelled turtle, you are really cunning and cunning, sign an equal contract with me without knowing anything!" Liu Wen said angrily after figuring out the swiftness of the demon spirit gourd, and then thought about it, if he was an old soft-shelled turtle, he would definitely do the same.

"Hehe! After our demon clan awakens, all we can sign is an equal contract, and the natal and master-servant contracts are both invented by your human race on the basis of the equal contract. Because of this master-servant contract, how many demon clans have resisted, and both clans have paid huge casualties. The old turtle said with a sigh.

"Hey, how many years ago did this happen, how did you know about the old turtle?" asked Liu Wen with some curiosity.

"The knowledge of our demon clan is passed down by bloodline, and once awakened, we will naturally be able to understand. The old turtle said proudly.

"Well, old turtle, your demon clan's inheritance method is not bad!But how did you awaken? And are there any other demon clans in this world?How many have you seen?" Liu Wen continued to ask with curiosity.

The old soft-shelled turtle recalled with some emotion: "I used to be in a daze, until one day I was caught by a Taoist priest and raised in a small pond in a Taoist temple. I listened to the chanting every day, and was baptized by the power of incense, and slowly I became enlightened. I am not willing to be trapped in the Taoist temple for the rest of my life, I want to find the inheritance of our demon clan, I want to cultivate to make myself stronger and stronger. Later, there was a rainstorm in the sky, and the Taoist temple was flooded, so I took the opportunity to escape. In the days that followed, I traveled along the waterways through the great rivers, big lakes, and Daze, looking around for all the information related to the demon clan, but I found nothing. ”

"Then how did you wake up?" asked Liu Wencha.

More than thirty years ago, I stumbled upon the Black Gourd, and at first glance I instinctively told me that it must be a treasure, and most of it was a treasure related to our demon clan. The old turtle continued, "It's just a treasure, I can see it, but no matter how I try, I can't touch it. I know that the gods have spirits, and they will choose the master, and only those who are destined can get it, I am unwilling, and I also want to see who the destined person is, so I have been waiting next to the treasure gourd. ”

"Does this have anything to do with your awakening?" Liu Wen continued.

"Of course it matters! I found that every full moon night, the faintly shiny treasure will leak a trace or two of breath, and if I get the treasure, I will immediately absorb it with all my might. After absorbing these breaths, my body grew bigger and stronger, and finally I awakened twelve years ago. After the old turtle was introduced, he couldn't help but ask: "Can you let me see the true face of the treasure gourd?"

Liu Wen also wanted to see the function of the treasure gourd, and immediately nodded in agreement. Liu Wen turned his head to look around, and found that there was no one around, a thought flashed, and a person and a turtle disappeared in an instant by the river, leaving only the cold wind still howling tirelessly!
