Chapter 983
In short, Guzheng can be sure that there will be no dragons in this lake.
Another point is that although there were also small dragon kings such as the Lake Dragon King and the Well Dragon King in the prehistoric times, when it comes to lakes, they are all very big lakes, hundreds of times larger than this. They can support at least one water tribe, and that well Dragon King, there is an underground river connected to the well, which is no smaller than the river on the ground. The well is just an entrance and exit.
The lake is too small for any real dragon to want to occupy.
The most important point is that if there really was a dragon here, the monster would not dare to be so rampant. The dragon has a very strong sense of territory and dares to run wild around itself. To the dragon, it is just a little snake, and it will not be tolerated.
Even though it takes humans many days to walk, for the dragons who can fly, it only takes a day or two to get to Huiyuan Village from here. This is definitely his territory.
Based on these, Guzheng can conclude that there will definitely be no dragons here.
There was no dragon, but it did not prevent Gu Zheng from listening to the stories told by the locals. Soon, many people who were eating at the inn went out and ran to the lake, saying they were petitioning the Dragon God. Some people said that the town The wealthy families here began to prepare three sacrifices as tributes to be presented to the Dragon God.
"Dragon God, why don't we go and beg too!"
Aunt Cui said with great interest that she believed in these very much, and so did several other people, eager to try it. People nowadays are very interested in these kinds of gods and weird things.
"You might as well go and have a look!"
Seeing that everyone was in high spirits, Gu Zheng smiled and nodded. He didn't speak. No one dared to go here. Even though he looked like a child, no one dared to treat him as a child. Gu Zheng was among them. authority.
Gu Zheng was also a little curious as to what kind of movement attracted so many people. In his guess, it was probably someone deliberately playing some trick to attract people, and then using the name of the Dragon God to benefit themselves. Such a charlatan can be found in any era. All of them can be produced spontaneously.
Longhu Town is right next to the lake, and right outside the town is the lake. When Gu Zheng and his party passed by, there were a lot of people standing densely by the lake, and many people were kneeling and praying there.
As soon as he arrived at the lake, Gu Zheng's brows condensed together.
In the middle of the lake, splashes of water were constantly being produced, and a slender yellow thing was rolling in the lake. The yellow thing couldn't be seen clearly, but you could see two long whiskers on its head, which looked a bit like a dragon's head.
This was still the ancient battle, and others couldn't see clearly at all. They could only see that it was Chang Xing, who seemed to have claws, and they thought he was the Dragon God.
"A monster that failed to transform?"
Gu Zheng said in surprise. He guessed correctly that there was no dragon here, but he didn't expect that there was a monster. Gu Zheng didn't see clearly what this monster was, but it was definitely a monster, and the transformation failed.
In fact, a monster does not transform once. Ordinary monsters have several opportunities to transform.
The higher the bloodline, the harder it is to transform. The bloodline here is only the bloodline of the demon clan. The bloodline of the demon clan is very important, such as the dragon clan, the wind, the roc, etc. These are all great monsters that were born in the beginning of the prehistoric times. They are much better than ordinary ones. There are too many powerful monsters.
Similarly, with high bloodline, it will be difficult for them to transform. Those great monsters born in the early days of the prehistoric era were unable to transform without the strength of Daluo Jinxian. You can imagine how difficult it is.
The worse the bloodline and the more common the monster, the easier it is to transform.
For example, the snake demon Gu Zheng killed before, as well as several little demons under him, those little demons have not reached the realm of immortals, but they all have hands and feet, and they look like humans, but their heads are still their original bodies. look.
This is their first appearance.
Generally speaking, monsters that have developed spiritual wisdom can transform for the first time after practicing for a period of time. They don’t need to cultivate to the realm of Qi Transformation, and they can do the next one. This is the simplest transformation, but it only takes the most shapes. With arms and legs, it is even possible for the arms and legs to remain the same.
Although they are not transformed into human beings, at least they can walk upright and change their body appearance, no longer like beasts.
Such monsters account for the vast majority, and Gu Zheng has seen many of them in later generations.
The monster in front of him belongs to this kind. He opened his spiritual intelligence and wanted to transform. However, the simplest first transformation actually failed. The transformation failed and he grew limbs. The rest remained the same as before. In addition, it failed to change the shape of his body, which made him extremely uncomfortable and painful, so he was writhing there.
In addition, this monster is not very powerful and has not broken through to the Qi Transformation realm, so the threat to Gu Zheng is much smaller, but it is still a big threat to other people here.
The monsters churned more violently in the lake, and many people began to throw food into the lake for the Dragon God to enjoy.
I wonder what these people would think if they knew they were feeding a monster.
"Ma Duo, take everyone farther away and don't get so close. I'll be right back!"
Gu Zheng told Ma Duo that this monster is not a big threat at the moment, but it's better to be careful. If you want to watch the excitement, you can go farther away. There is no need to get so close.
In this way, even if something happens, there is still a chance to run away.
Ma Duo did not dare to disobey Gu Zheng's order. Although he was a little reluctant, he still took everyone to a farther place, while Gu Zheng slowly walked away.
First, he returned to the inn and retrieved the box containing the Mirage Dragon Ball. Gu Zheng then rode on the little white dragon and let it take him to the other side of the lake. There was no one there. Gu Zheng opened it only when there was no one. Take out the mirage dragon ball from the box, hold the dragon ball and jump directly into the water.
Any dragon ball has the function of repelling water.
Gu Zheng can also use immortal magic to avoid water, but it consumes too much. He is not good at it now, but he will be fine when his level is high in the future.
The dragon ball appeared, and the monster in the lake seemed to sense it. It suddenly got into the water and swam towards Gu Zheng. Gu Zheng also speeded up and headed towards it.
There are actually monsters by a lake where tens of thousands of people live. If you don't encounter them, forget it. If you encounter them, Gu Zheng will find out about this hidden danger. This is why he told Ma Duo to stay away before. He wants to get rid of the monsters. , this monster should not go crazy in the end and hurt the people on the shore. If they are on the shore, they may be accidentally injured.
The monster in the water was very fast and soon met Gu Zheng, which was why Gu Zheng headed towards it.
Gu Zheng is holding the dragon ball and holding a short knife in one hand. He is at a disadvantage underwater, but he is stronger, and the monster is at its weakest. Overall, Gu Zheng has an absolute advantage.
"Great Immortal, you have a dragon ball in your hand!"
Before Gu Zheng took action, the monster running over suddenly said something. The monster's voice turned out to be a female voice.
Under the water, Gu Zheng also saw the monster clearly. It turned out to be an eel, a very big eel, an eel demon that failed to transform.
"That's right, it's the Dragon Ball. Is it possible that you still want the Snatcher and the Dragon Ball?"
Gu Zheng replied while observing the monster carefully. The eel monster is just an ordinary aquatic monster. If there is a dragon, it is only qualified to be a soldier. It is no different from those shrimp soldiers and crab generals.
"Great Immortal, you misunderstood. I didn't want to rob him, I just asked!"
The eel demon hurriedly differentiated, while Gu Zheng laughed a little. He was here to get rid of the demon, and the demon actually started chatting with him.
Next, Gu Zheng didn't waste any time, he just swung his sword and struck at the eel demon.
"Great Immortal, please forgive me, Immortal, I have lived here for hundreds of years and I have never harmed anyone!"
Seeing Gu's fight, the eel demon didn't even fight back, and immediately retreated and ran away. This eel demon is not weak at all. It basically has the strength of the fifth level. Unfortunately, it is the weak period when the transformation fails, and its strength cannot be used. Out of 30%.
It is weak, but its flexibility in the water is still there. Gu Zheng is sure that he can eliminate him in a few moves. But it keeps running and hiding. Gu Zheng really can't catch up for a while. After all, underwater is its home ground.
"Great Immortal, I have really never harmed anyone, please forgive me!"
The eel demon ran and screamed. After chasing it for a while, it turned out that it was impossible to catch it, so it had to give up.
"How do you prove that you have never harmed anyone?" Gu Zheng shouted at him.
"Daxian, you can ask around. I have never harmed anyone around here. Every year, children drown while playing in the water. If I encounter them, I will save them and send them up!"
The eel demon said quickly, not only had it never harmed anyone, but it also often saved people, which surprised Gu Zheng.
"Are you telling the truth?" Gu Zheng asked again.
"Everything is true. Over the years, I have saved dozens of people. You will know as soon as you ask!"
The eel demon did not dare to approach Gu Zheng. Not to mention that it was weak when it failed to transform. Even when it was not weak, it was not necessarily the opponent of the child in front of it. It had already seen how powerful this child was.
"Forget it, I'll ask you first when I go back. If you lie, I'll drain the water and get rid of you!"
Gu Zheng said to the eel demon that he was no longer chasing it, but he still threatened him. How could the water in this lake be drained so easily? He couldn't do it now, but he could do it when he reached the Golden Immortal realm.
The eel demon didn't know that Gu Zheng was just a threat, but Gu Zheng had a dragon ball in his hand. The dragon ball was the absolute most precious treasure for the aquatic monsters. Whether it was fish, snakes, or eels like them, they all dreamed of transforming into dragons. one day.
Just like humans all hope that they can become immortals, for these aquatic tribes, becoming a dragon is their greatest wish.
It's a pity that this eel demon doesn't have any dragon blood. It can't become a dragon on its own in this life.
Gu Zheng returned to the shore by himself, returned to the shore, and rode the little white dragon back to the city. Gu Zheng and the eel demon chased and escaped under the water. There was no trace of the eel demon on the water, and the people watching on the shore also There are a lot less, only those pious people are still praying and throwing food on the shore.
Ma Duo and the others have returned to the inn and are waiting for Gu Zheng there.
After returning, Gu Zheng didn't tell them where he went. He just ordered everyone to go to the streets to inquire about what happened to the Dragon God and whether anyone who had fallen into the water before had been rescued.
Many, Wu You, and four other men all dispersed. Aunt Cui and the other women did not go. It was not convenient for women to ask about this kind of thing in public.
The six people came back one after another half an hour later.
The eel demon really didn't lie. It has indeed saved many people over the years. Not only children, but also adults have been killed by it. Most of the people who were rescued were choked and their consciousness was blurred. They only remembered that they were being killed by a generous person. Later, some people said that this was a dragon with its long body. Gradually, the legend of the Dragon God emerged.
No wonder everyone in the town believed in the Dragon God and thought the Dragon God was good. They made wishes to it and felt that the eel demon was really a good demon. He had never harmed anyone and had saved many people.
In this case, there is no need to get rid of this monster. After all, there are good and bad monsters. Not all monsters are bad. This will be the same in the future. There are many monsters in heaven, and even Shushan has taken in monsters.
After inquiring about the news, it was already dark, the Dragon God did not show up, the people on the shore gradually retreated, and the town soon became quiet again.
Gu Zheng felt a little guilty for having misunderstood him. After thinking about it, he quietly left at night and went to the lake to find the eel demon.
This lake is very big for ordinary people, but it is just average for Gu Zheng. After a while, he found the eel demon's lair, a pile of silt under the center of the lake, where the eel demon lives.
"Great Immortal, I didn't lie to you!"
Seeing Gu Zheng come for him, the eel demon immediately hid again and asked in a low voice.
"That's not true. I've already asked you clearly. You have indeed done some good deeds over the years. Very good. I am not here to fight you this time. I just want to say sorry to you. I misunderstood you before!"
Gu Zheng nodded. In today's ancient world, this eel demon is a rare and good monster. Such a monster should be protected. When it succeeds in cultivation, it will mean that the residents of this generation have an extra protector. At least No other monsters will come and cause trouble at will.
At present, the power of the eel demon is too weak. If it has the power to return to the void or even become a god, the previous tragedy in Huiyuan Village may not happen.
"Great Immortal, you don't have to be like this. Great Immortal, I have a merciless request. I don't know whether to say it or not!"
This eel demon spoke very fluently, and actually said such things as he should and should not say.
"Say it!" Gu Zheng agreed directly.
"Great Immortal, this dragon ball is of little use to you. Can you give it to me?"
The eel demon stretched out its little hand that failed to transform, pointed at the mirage dragon ball held by Gu Zheng and said, Gu Zheng's eyes widened, this little monster actually wanted to beat his own dragon ball.
For the eel demon, this dragon ball is indeed a great treasure, because with the dragon ball, it has the possibility of transforming into a dragon. As long as it can integrate the dragon ball into itself, it is equivalent to having the blood of the dragon clan, and it has the hope of transforming into a dragon in the future. .
Although the possibility of transforming into a dragon is unlikely, there is always hope, unlike before when there was no hope at all.
Just like human beings, everyone wants to become an immortal, but they can only think that there is no chance. But once he has the method of cultivation and can start practicing, he will have the possibility of becoming an immortal. Even if the cultivation is difficult and becoming an immortal is slim, But it is always possible.
This kind of attraction may be irresistible to everyone.
"Great Immortal, don't get me wrong, I don't want it for nothing, I can exchange it with you for something!"
Seeing Gu Zheng glare at him, the eel demon hurriedly waved his hand to show that he didn't want it in vain.
"What do you want in exchange for it?"
Gu Zheng couldn't help but said angrily, this is a dragon ball. Although it is not an innate treasure, it is also an acquired treasure. This eel demon has failed to transform, so what good things can it come up with.
The eel demon did not speak, but got into the mud. After a while, it came out with a yellow scroll rolled into a ball.
"This is something I saw when I first opened my spiritual wisdom. It was right next to me. I don't know what it is, but I can feel it. It must be a good treasure. I can't open it either, so I want to use this thing." Baby, come and exchange your dragon balls!”
The eel demon took out the yellow scroll and said to Gu Zheng. When he saw the scroll, Gu Zheng's heart shrank suddenly. At a glance, he knew that this scroll was not a mortal thing. The most important thing was that it had an innate spirit on it. force.
Innate spiritual power can only be found in innate treasures, and ordinary innate treasures cannot emit such power. However, this treasure cannot conceal the innate spiritual power, which is enough to show that among innate treasures, this one is also the best.
You know, his Immortal Killing Gourd does not have such spiritual power.
"Show it to me first!"
Gu Zheng suppressed his heartbeat and said to the eel demon, although Gu Zheng didn't know what it was, he had decided that he must get it, even if he had to be a robber once.
It can only be said that this eel demon is ignorant. He knows that this is a treasure, but he does not know what level of treasure it is. To put it bluntly, such a little demon has never come into contact with a real heavenly treasure, let alone knows about an innate treasure. Features.
"Are you willing to exchange?"
The eel demon was a little hesitant. It had this treasure that it could take out. If Gu Zheng wanted it and refused to give it to it, it would suffer a big loss. It couldn't defeat Gu Zheng now.
"exchange?"
Gu Zheng looked at the dragon ball in his hand, hesitated for a moment, and nodded immediately: "Exchange is okay, but you have to let me know what kind of treasure it is. I don't even know what it is, how can I exchange it?"
In fact, Gu Zheng has already made a decision. Exchange, absolute exchange. Dragon Ball is good, but it also depends on what it is compared with. Compared with innate treasures, Dragon Balls are nothing. Not to mention, the one in front of him definitely belongs to the range of innate treasures. , not an ordinary innate baby.
"Okay, I believe you, Great Immortal, just look at it!"
The eel demon hesitated for a long time before finally making a decision. Even if it didn't speak, Gu Zheng didn't know if he was going to rob it forcefully.
The yellow scroll was thrown over by the eel demon, and Gu Zheng reached out and sucked it in his hand.
The yellow scroll was as soft and smooth as silk, with a slender object sandwiched in the middle. After looking closely, I found that the slender object was a stylus, with the nib slightly exposed.
Gu Zheng also didn't open it, but he could turn it over and look at it. Soon, he froze there.
In the middle of the scroll, there are several ancient characters faintly. They are ancient characters. He was a quasi-sage before the ancient war. After studying these characters, they are the first characters after the creation of the world. They are more complicated than the current characters.
These are three words, three very simple words. Seeing these three words, even Gu Zheng, who once reached the strength of a quasi-saint, could not help but feel his heartbeat speed up again, and even his breathing became a little hurried.
