Just as the scholar looked at the jade bead in his hand, Du Bai also looked at it curiously.

From above, you can clearly feel a trace of unusual fairy energy.

"Could this be a relic of the real river god?"

Du Bai was stunned for a moment, and suddenly thought of this.

He originally thought that the scholar was the original river god, but now it seems that he is only the second, that is, like the Lu judge he met in Lin'an before, he inherited the immortal position of the river god and became the new river god.

It's no wonder that the strength is weak, and the immortal qi in the body is also extremely weak.

"And this power should not come without a price. The corpse I saw in bed now said it all. ”

Du Bai thought so, and turned his gaze to the scholar's face.

At this time, the other party is much more vicissitudes than what Fang Cai saw, and it seems that the immortal power still has the effect of rejuvenating youth. But after all, it still can't escape the law of immortals.

If you want to gain power, you need to live for life.

However, at this time, neither the scholar nor the turtle realized this at all.

In the eyes of the tortoise, this is an extremely rare good thing, which has a strong attraction to it, and even has an intuition that it can transform as long as it is eaten.

But it still misses the scholar, resists this impulse and insists on sending it to the scholar.

This kind of affection is indeed precious, and it is bent on giving him all those precious things for the sake of the scholar. However, it didn't expect this thing to be more like a delicious chronic poison......

At this time, the scholar also listened to the turtle's words, and after briefly washing the jade bead in the river water, he swallowed it without hesitation.

Strange to say, this bead looks quite large, but when swallowed, it melts in the mouth, turning into a warm current that spreads down its body.

Then a dazzling golden light and an unconcealed huge immortal power descended!

"Boom!"

It was as if a huge storm had suddenly fallen, and in an instant, with its body as the center, the entire earth within a hundred meters of the surrounding area shook slightly, and in an instant the smoke and dust filled the air, and the river flowed backwards!

It was the first time that Du Bai had seen the scene of this mortal transforming into an immortal with his own eyes, and he also deliberately observed this shocking scene carefully.

I have to say that the visual appearance alone is already very amazing, not to mention the invisible power that gradually spreads around, which makes the birds and beasts around them all frightened, but they don't dare to escape, they all turn their heads to look here like spirits, with awe in their eyes.

And the people in the village also seemed to feel something, and looked at the direction of the golden light in astonishment, as if it were a fairy.

There is even more such a vast majesty, like a mountain, and the air is a little stagnant, which makes people's hearts tremble.

"It's a god!"

I don't know who shouted first, and it was recognized by the others, and they knelt on the ground to worship, praying for the protection of the immortals.

At this time, the scholar in the center was closing his eyes tightly, carefully understanding the changes that were taking place in his body.

The turtle was also lying in front of him honestly, and there was no regret in his eyes for handing over the beads to others, but a little relief.

After a long time, the scholar slowly opened his eyes, his pupils exuded a faint golden light, and the clothes on his body fluttered without wind, and his demeanor was chic, like a fairy, which was amazing.

"Hahaha! It turns out that this is the immortal! ”

He looked up and laughed, with both joy and an inexplicable faint regret on his face.

I'm glad that I can become a legendary immortal, but unfortunately this power came too suddenly and inexplicably, as if I was in a dream, without any sense of reality.

"Where did you find this bead?"

The scholar looked down at the turtle lying in front of him and asked suspiciously.

By this time he could understand the tortoise's words, and after a pause, he nodded slightly.

"I see, I found it in a hole ** at the bottom of the river? It's really strange, who left such a treasure that can become an immortal? ”

Even with his knowledge, he couldn't understand the mystery at all, after all, he had no contact with any other transcendent powers.

In the end, he just took this matter as his own opportunity, and God blessed him with all these years of hard work.

After thanking the turtle, he officially became the river god of the river.

And at least in Du Bai's eyes, this scholar is indeed conscientious and earnestly fulfills the task of this river god.

For example, when there is a continuous rainstorm, the flow of water in the river is reduced, and when the rain is low, it takes the initiative to draw water from other places or underground, so that the land will not be dry and the villagers will not be affected.

In addition to this, he also reduced the risk of disasters to the boats on the river, and at least in the ten years he served as the river god, it was rare for a ship to capsize.

Even when the children were swimming, he cared for them, and none of the children drowned in his own river.

This conscientious river god did make the small village on the shore gradually prosperous, and the merchant ships came and went frequently, and the people lived and worked in peace and contentment, and it became very lively for a while.

The scholar was naturally relieved to see this scene.

Although no one knew that he had done it, it was the greatest comfort to see the smiles of the people.

During this time, the turtle was cared for by him, and he also successfully broke through the boundaries of the fairy and truly transformed into a human form, so that he was able to accompany him for a long time, doing his right and left hands to help take care of the affairs of the village.

After witnessing several miracles, the village gradually realized that there was a river god who was protecting, and under the leadership of several old people, according to their imagination, a statue of the river god was erected and placed in the ancestral hall.

Although the incense is not vigorous, it can be regarded as an affirmation of the scholar.

Ten years have passed since then.

The transformation probably began when the scholar finally began to realize that he was afraid that his life was imminent.

This change was very strange, he could feel that the immortal power in his body was not as abundant as before, and all kinds of unbearable pain gradually emerged.

Worse is the mental torture.

It was as if there were countless ghosts from hell crying and screaming in his ears, and incomprehensible whispers stirred his brain painfully like steel needles, and sometimes some hallucinations appeared in front of his eyes, as if he had seen all kinds of terrible deaths in his eyes!

When this phenomenon appeared, the scholar no longer had enough energy to continue to perform the duties of the river god.

He sat in his hut and meditated all day long, and the noise of the outside world seemed to be poison, so that he could not avoid it, and for this time, only the turtle was always by his side, hoping that he would get better.

However, nothing has changed over time!

On the contrary, in the village, after the scholars did not intervene during this time, some boats sank and children drowned, which caused many people to be frightened and uneasy.
