It turns out that there is such a story behind this ice sword, but this ice sword has turned black for something, presumably it is related to the corpse king. The old man also gave a reasonable explanation, that is, the corpse qi on the corpse king's body eroded the ice sword, and the power of the sword body would be greatly reduced after it turned black.

"Is there a way to recover?" I asked, staring at the Ice Sword.

"Of course there is, let me try. "The old man took the cold ice sword in my hand, stretched out two fingers, the fingers emitted a thick mist, and when the old man's fingers crossed the cold ice sword, the black gas on the sword disappeared.

I took the ice sword and hugged my fist and said, "Thank you, uncle." The old man waved his hand and said, "Don't be in a hurry to thank me, I still need your help." ”

"Uncle is asking me to get rid of the water spirit beast, of course I will help with this favor, but I also want to ask the uncle for a favor. I said, holding my sword in one hand and staring at the river.

"What do you want to ask the old man for help? The old man asked with a smile on his face.

"I don't know if the old man has ever heard that there is a god imprisoned at the bottom of this river?"

"Well, doesn't the old man know what Lu Dao does?" "It's impossible! This octopus spirit has been in this river for some years, how can he not know that Lu Dao suppresses a god in this river.

"Ha Lu Ha! Little brother, don't you want to absorb the energy of the gods? Don't be reckless, if you don't get it, you will explode and die. The old man said.

"Not really, I'm looking for someone. ”

"Celestial?"

I nodded. The old man stroked his beard and looked at me meaningfully: "I didn't see that the little brother is very popular." To tell you the truth, the treasure I want to give you is exactly what you said about the original god. "What, the words of the octopus spirit made me wake up suddenly, I really stepped through the iron shoes and found nowhere to find, I thought that it would take a lot of effort to find the original god in such a deep river. Listening to the octopus essence say this, how can I not be excited, so it can save a lot of trouble.

"That's great, uncle, take me to get rid of that water spirit beast. ”

I just want to get rid of the water spirit as soon as possible, get back Murong Xue's primordial spirit, and then leave the misty forest, and stay here any longer, I don't know what will happen to the road.

"Don't worry, this water spirit beast won't come out until night, and you can't fight it in the water. The old man said.

"Out at night?" I asked, puzzled.

It turns out that every time this water spirit beast arrives on the night of the full moon, it will come out to worship and absorb the aura between heaven and earth. Now there is still a period of time before the evening, and it is idle to be idle, so I simply found a flat ground with the old man to sit down and chat. I found that the old man was quite kind, and he was not as cruel as Murong Xue said. The old man said that he was once a human being, a thousand years ago......

"Meng Shijie, hurry up! If you don't get back before dark, you'll be in trouble. A shirtless young man said.

There are three people on the boat, named Meng Shijie is the old man of the year, and the old man is Meng Shijie's hair small, they are here to fish. It is now this river, and this river also has a name, called Black Dragon Pond. The origin of this river will be explained later.

In the afternoon, the wind was calm, and when it was close to dusk, the calm river suddenly became turbulent, and the giant Lang pounced on the boat one after another, and seeing that the boat was about to be swallowed by the giant Lang, several people rowed desperately to the shore. Just as he was about to approach the shore, a giant Lang pounced head-on, and the ship was instantly swallowed by the giant Lang. Meng Shijie was slapped underwater by the powerful impact, and the undercurrent under the water surged, Meng Shijie choked on a few mouthfuls of water, and then lost consciousness. When he woke up, he found that he was lying at the bottom of the river, Meng Shijie wanted to reach out and rub his swollen eyes, but as soon as he raised his hand, he was startled by the thing in front of him.

Where is the hand in front of him, Meng Shijie raised a soft tentacle, Meng Shijie looked around, and found that his body had turned into an octopus, and the sudden change made Meng Shijie difficult to accept. In this way, Meng Shijie spent a few days in a muddy underwater, and gradually accepted the fact that he had become a monster. At this time, Meng Shijie hadn't eaten for a few days and nights, and although he had become a monster, he still felt hungry.

Meng Shijie began to look for food in a small area at the bottom of the river, but it was difficult to see even a small fish at the bottom of the river, and at this moment, Meng Shijie saw his companion who died with him a few days ago. Hunger had made him lose his nature, and Meng Shijie swallowed his companion's stomach, and although the smell of rot made him almost vomit, it finally solved the crisis for the time being. In the past few days, Meng Shijie has been wandering at the bottom of the river, trying to figure out one thing, what is wrong with his body. Finally, one day, he met the water spirit beast.

According to the water spirit beast, Meng Shijie was swallowed by the octopus, perhaps it was Meng Shijie's own desire to survive that prompted his soul to squeeze the octopus's soul out of the body and forcibly occupy the octopus's body, so it became like this. After Meng Shijie learned about it, he only wanted to die, and it was better to die than to live like this. But the words of the water spirit beast shook his determination to seek death again.

It is not impossible to turn back into a human body, and it is possible to restore a human body through cultivation. Legend has it in the Black Dragon Pool that there is a huge black dragon that is cultivated very deeply, and it is easy to absorb its aura and restore its true body. It's just that I haven't seen its real body, and I don't know if the legend of the road is true or false. Mo said that he had never seen the black dragon, and even if he did, with the abilities of Shui Ling and Meng Shijie, he couldn't help it, so Meng Shijie decisively dispelled this idea.

There is also a method of cultivation that is to forcibly cultivate, and the so-called forced cultivation is to go astray, because Meng Shijie is no longer a human body. If you want to cultivate, you can only kill. From that day on, Meng Shijie made up his mind to turn back into a normal person, and all ships passing by the Black Dragon Pond would be overturned by Meng Shijie underwater, absorbing the essence of human beings. Over time, Meng Shijie didn't know how many people he had killed, and finally one day, he found that he could breathe out of the water, so he began to fight against the creatures on land, first the animals in the grove, then the humans in the wilderness, and even after the last Meng Shijie sneaked into the village to hunt and kill humans.

Once, Meng Shijie returned to the Black Dragon Pond by moonlight, and happened to meet Shui Ling who was cultivating, and Shui Ling told him that he had absorbed too much essence, and if he didn't control it well, he would probably be counterattacked. Meng Shijie didn't know that this was the conspiracy of the water spirit, and he fell for the water spirit at the beginning, it turned out that the water spirit beast wanted to use Meng Shijie's body to survive the catastrophe. When Meng Shijie listened to Shui Ling's words, he asked Shui Ling to help him open up the veins in his body to absorb the aura. Who knew that Shui Ling had absorbed Meng Shijie's hard-earned essence, although there was still some essence in his body, it was far from enough to turn back into a human body.

There was only one step away from recovering his true body, but he was robbed of his aura by the water spirit, Meng Shijie was unwilling, and he decided to take revenge on the water spirit beast. He knew that Lu Dao could not defeat him with his own ability, and he also knew that even if he absorbed more essence, he would be taken away by the water spirit, so he gave up hunting. But every time a ship passes by in the Black Dragon Pool, he will still stir up wind under the water and overturn the boat, he is waiting for the opportunity, waiting for someone who can defeat him, this is his only chance to get rid of the water spirit beast.

He didn't know if the humans who were stronger than him would help him, so he used the primordial gods suppressed by Black Dragon Pond as the last bargaining chip. The primordial god monster of the heavenly god cannot be absorbed, otherwise it will explode and die, if not, the water spirit beast would have absorbed it a long time ago.

The old man sighed and said, "That's the way it is. "I didn't expect that the old man was also a poor man, and I would definitely help with this favor. No matter how powerful the water spirit beast is, I must seek justice for the old man, not for anything else, just for this breath. Mo Laosan used to take advantage of me, so I deeply hate this kind of style. Unconsciously, it was getting dark, and the old man said that it was almost time, and the old man and I quietly lurked in the weeds by the river, just waiting for the water spirit to appear.
