Chapter 65: Waiting for someone who is destined
The next day, Yang Cheng, Da Lang Ge, and Rose came to a town, the town is quiet and warm, although it is not as prosperous as the big city, but it is not easy to attract attention, and the people who haunt the town are all demon residents who were born and raised here. The inhabitants do their own work in the town.
Yang Cheng changed into his original clothes, pulled down his hat and tried his best to block his eyes, so that others could not see his bright red pupils at a glance.
The good news is that this town doesn't seem to have been set foot in by the soldiers of the Yunyue Kingdom, maybe the hundreds of people in the Yunyue Kingdom are really limited, and at this moment, many obstacles are being set up on the road of Gulansi, waiting for Yang Cheng to appear.
Before leaving, Yang Cheng asked Brother Lang if there was any other path to Guransi City besides the main road of the city.
Brother Lang thought for a long time, and thought of a relatively remote road, but the road was a little farther, and one of them was passing through this paradise-like town. After discussing the countermeasures, the three of them got up early in the morning and rode to the town.
The town was dozens of miles away from the lake, and it was not until noon when the sun was shining that the three of them came to the town.
Yang Cheng, who calmed down overnight, completely figured out the purpose of the Linglong ring, and in the middle of the night he looked at the Linglong ring and couldn't sleep for a long time, and his mind was full of love in summer and autumn.
The two war horses walked in the town, attracting the attention of the demon residents from time to time, and there were few outsiders in the town, and the three of them were immediately focused. Yang Cheng took a look at this unique town, most of the buildings in the town are relatively old, although not as populated as Chunwan Town, but it should have everything.
An obese butcher in the town killed a cow and set up a stall to sell, but the business was bleak, and most of the people who visited him were flies.
Yang Cheng dismounted and cautiously looked at the demon residents in the market.
"Come and see, freshly slaughtered beef today." The old butcher was dressed in dirty clothes, and although he had a loud voice, he was very bored with Erlang's legs crossed to catch flies, and there were very few people who bought meat......
Rose sat on the back of the horse, and Yang Cheng pulled the horse towards the butcher.
Seeing that Yang Cheng had been staring at the old butcher, Rose couldn't help but ask, "Husband, are you going to buy meat?" ”
Yang Cheng shook his head and said, "I want to buy cow blood." ”
"Huh!? Husband, what are you buying cow blood for? Rose was puzzled.
"I want to see if ox blood can be converted into a price of strength." Although Yang Cheng thought it was ridiculous, he wanted to give it a try, maybe as long as it was blood, he could transform the power of the violent heart.
The old butcher looked at three strangers approaching, one of them was dressed in black, and his hat covered half of his face, which looked very mysterious.
"Guest, come and see, pick whatever you want, fresh beef, just slaughtered today." The butcher said absentmindedly and crossed Erlang's legs.
Yang Cheng walked to the stall, looked at the large pieces of beef on the table, and suddenly spoke: "Uncle, I want to buy cow blood, do you have fresh cow blood to buy?" ”
The butcher plucked out his ears and said unconcernedly, "You want to buy cow blood, yes, come with me." ”
After speaking, the old butcher stood up and beckoned Yang Cheng to follow him into the slaughterhouse. Yang Cheng turned his head and nodded at the big Lang Rose Rose, and the three of them walked towards the slaughterhouse.
There was a foul smell in the slaughterhouse, and flies were flying all over the sky. The butcher Huang Po sold melons, sold herself and boasted: Her slaughtered meat was sold on the day of slaughter, and she brought Yang Cheng into the slaughterhouse. There were several cows, pigs and sheep tied in the slaughterhouse, and the animals screamed in horror when they saw the butcher.
"You pick, which piece do you want?" The butcher brought in a wooden bucket filled with blood clots.
Yang Cheng was silent, looked down at the red and black blood clots that had congealed in the barrel, and said, "It's not like this, I want liquid blood, don't want this one that has already coagulated." ”
The butcher plucked out his ears and said a little obscenely, "Little brother, do you want to buy blood that has not been coagulated?" There's no way, you can only wait for tomorrow to come, you also saw it, business is difficult to do, our town slaughters a beast a day. ”
"No blood? Don't slaughter today? Rose asked.
"Don't slaughter, you come here in the morning, it's noon, and the blood has already coagulated. If you want to slaughter live, you can do it, unless you buy an animal, and I will charge you for labor to slaughter it for you. The butcher said impatiently.
Yang Cheng was a little depressed, he looked at Rose and Brother Da Lang, and asked, "How much does it cost to buy a livestock?" ”
"It depends on what you buy, 240 gold coins for a pig, 370 for a cow, and 190 for a sheep."
"Husband, what do you think of the sheep's blood?" Rose asked in a low voice.
No matter what, as long as it is blood, Yang Cheng wants to try it now, if the price of strength must be human blood, it is too luxurious, where will he go to get human blood for a while.
"Well, you can try." Yang Cheng nodded.
"Uncle, slaughter a sheep for us." Rose said, taking out two hundred golden tickets from her bosom and throwing them over.
The butcher took the golden ticket and looked at it, and then said: "Beauty, it's not enough, there is also a slaughter fee." ”
Rose frowned, there was not much money left on her body, and said, "How much is the slaughter fee?" ”
"30 gold coins, it's the best deal."
"Here you go." As she spoke, Rose took out a few gold coins and threw them over, and when the butcher received the money, he turned to the barn and dragged out a sheep.
The goat was hung upside down on the hook by the butcher, making a frightened "bleating" sound, but the butcher was familiar with the road, and the goat was dying after a few sticks, and took the butcher's knife and cut the goat's throat, and the sheep hung in the air, and the blood continued to drip into the barrel.
"This sheep is yours now, do you want to slaughter it?" The butcher said as he counted the money.
"No need. Brother Lang, you will tie the sheep to the back of the horse as if it were our food for today. Yang Cheng said.
Although it was a little extravagant, Brother Da Lang remembered the rabbit that Yang Cheng roasted last night, and now he still has an endless aftertaste, and laughed: "Today is really luxurious, but you can have a good meal on the road." ”
After the goat was bled out, Brother Lang carried the goat out of the slaughterhouse, Yang Cheng looked at the bucket of goat blood that still had residual warmth, and slowly stretched out his left hand, and the water drop ring emitted a faint red light. The butcher, who was counting the money, was violently frightened when he saw this scene.
"Little brother, what are you doing!?" The butcher thought that Yang Cheng was going to threaten him.
Yang Cheng didn't speak, and when the ring leaned against the sheep's blood one meter, the sheep's blood suddenly jumped in the air and instantly became involved in the ring. In the blink of an eye, when the light curtain of the water drop ring dimmed, not a drop of sheep blood was absorbed in the barrel, and the butcher who watched was dumbfounded.
"This, what kind of ring can suck blood." The butcher was curious and leaned his head over in shock. Before he could see it clearly, Yang Cheng withdrew his hand.
"Uncle, less is better than more, don't say I don't remind you." Seeing the butcher's surprised face, Rose reminded.
The butcher swallowed and foamed, understanding that these two were not ordinary people, and laughed awkwardly: "This little girl, I just asked, and there is no other malice." ”
Yang Cheng closed his eyes and quietly felt the violent aura of his body, and the water drop ring emitted a light curtain again, this time the difference was that the core of the ring gushed out a line of blood that circled around Yang Cheng's hand.
Yang Cheng opened his violent heart, his body was like a fire burning, and the entire slaughterhouse was red, which frightened the animals and screamed in panic! Instead it gradually transformed into a blood light enveloping the entire body, and the butcher watched dumbfounded.
The sheep blood released by the water drop ring has been circling in the air, and Yang Cheng wanted to fuse the sheep blood several times, but the blood light of the body kept rejecting the sheep blood, and it still consumed the blood of the body as a price. Yang Cheng shook his head helplessly, and spit out a breath of turbidity, it seemed that the sheep blood did not work, he withdrew his breath.
Rose also seems to have discovered that whenever the sheep's blood tries to melt into the breath, the breath will wash it away.
Rose said, "What's the matter, husband?" Isn't it possible? ”
Yang Cheng shook his head, a little depressed: "No, the power can't be fused." After speaking, the Linglong ring injected a wave of power, and the sheep blood that had just been involved spurted out violently.
The butcher stood in front of Yang Cheng, and before he could dodge or react, the sheep blood rushed down his head, and his whole body was stained red with sheep blood, making him spit out a few mouthfuls of sheep blood and wipe his face.
"Since it doesn't work, let's go, there must be another way." Rose Road.
"That's the only way, try a few more times in the past two days." Yang Cheng said, looked at the butcher who was drenched in blood, and said, "Uncle, do you have any recommendations for the better blacksmith shops around here?" ”
The butcher touched his face a few times, shook the sheep blood on his hand, and his heart was ten thousand grass and mud horses galloping, but he had seen Yang Cheng's weirdness, he dared to be angry and didn't dare to speak, and squeezed out an ugly smile: "Go out and turn right, Lao Zhong's blacksmith, the ironware in our entire town is made by him." ”
"Thank you." After Yang Cheng finished speaking, he turned around and left with Rose.
Seeing Yang Cheng leave the slaughterhouse, the butcher couldn't help but be rude, sniffed the smelly clothes on his body, and scolded: "I'm XXXXX, it seems that I can't take a bath this time." ”
Yang Cheng, Rose, and Da Lang Ge, who left the slaughterhouse, walked into a blacksmith shop called "Old Bell". The blacksmith shop is lined with all kinds of weapons, as well as some miscellaneous items. Even in the middle of the day, the blacksmith was sweating and pounding his weapons in front of the stove, which burned with a raging fire, and the whole blacksmith shop was like a large oven.
When the blacksmith saw someone coming in, he wiped the sweat from his forehead and said, "There are a few strangers in the town, just take a look and want to buy something." As he spoke, the hammer continued to smash into the hot iron.
Yang Cheng scanned all the weapons in the blacksmith shop, most of them were shields, giant swords, and long swords, and he didn't find any equipment that Yang Cheng was particularly happy with.
"Uncle, I want a giant blade, do you have any recommendations?" Yang Cheng looked at the equipment hanging on sale and said.
"Giant blade?" The blacksmith struck the hot iron a few times, threw down the work at hand, took off his mask and squinted at Yang Cheng.
"Young man, you're not a local, are you?"
Yang Cheng shook his head.
"If you want a giant blade, I have one, you can take a look."
As he spoke, the blacksmith walked from the blacksmith to the front desk, and pulled out a dusty wooden box from the cabinet and placed it on the table.
Yang Cheng looked at the dusty box, obviously hadn't been touched for a long time, and the thick layer of dust made him can't help but blow it.
Yang Cheng slowly opened the box, and when he opened the box, Yang Cheng, Brother Lang, and Rose were all very surprised. In the box, there is a huge black blade with markings carved on the blade. Yang Cheng was shocked, he gently stroked the blade of the knife, he could feel a burst of coldness, just by stroking it gently, the blade echoed with a sharp sound. This giant blade is indeed good material, but I don't know how it will be priced.
Yang Cheng was a little surprised......
The blacksmith smiled slightly, obviously seeing through Yang Cheng's thoughts, seeing that Yang Cheng didn't speak for a long time, he said: "This giant blade was built by me four years ago, and no one has been paying attention to it, and soldiers like long swords, giant swords, and spears. The blacksmith looked at Da Lang as he spoke.
"And the assassins only like bayonets, daggers, and hidden weapons." Then he looked at Rose
"There are very few people like you who ask for a sharp blade when you enter the door. In the past four years, at least, the people I've come into contact with don't like the Giant Blade. In the hearts of the people, it was felt that the blade was short and inflexible, that it was inferior to a dagger bayonet in terms of agility, and that it was inferior to a giant sword and a long sword in terms of damage. I don't understand, young man, why do you have such a soft spot for blades? The blacksmith said with some curiosity.
Yang Cheng listened to the blacksmith's tone, indeed, in the Lost Realm for so long, Yang Cheng had never seen anyone use a sharp blade. Yang Cheng smiled lightly: "I don't know, maybe I'm used to it, uncle?" How do you sell this weapon? ”
"Just call me Uncle Zhong. This equipment is not for sale. The blacksmith laughed, reaching out and closing the box.
Yang Cheng was stunned for a moment and said, "Uncle Zhong, don't you sell this weapon?" Aren't you kidding me...... If you don't sell it, show it to me. ”
Blacksmith Zhong Bo smiled and said, "Young man, you want to buy my equipment, don't you know, this weapon is not ordinary, it was also built by me on a whim and spent half a year to build." Originally, I wanted to use it to make a sharp sword, but the materials were not enough, and it was too wasteful to create two daggers, so I created this giant blade. ”
"Uncle Zhong, after saying so much, are you showing off to me?" Yang Cheng was a little helpless.
"Hahaha. Young man, I'm not like that, this giant blade is only given to people who are destined. The old blacksmith laughed.
"Someone who is destined?" Rose frowned and said, "Uncle, how do you know who is destined or not." ”
"Let me say this, girl, look at this knife, is there something missing?" After speaking, the old blacksmith Zhong Bo opened the box, the dark giant blade lay quietly in the box, and at the handle of the knife, a hole was vacant in several golden dragon claws, and the hook claws firmly grasped it.
"Is the hole in the handle of this knife specially set aside to inlay the crystal nucleus?" Brother Lang spotted it at a glance.
"Bearded and smart. You're right, the person we are waiting for is exactly this. After speaking, the old blacksmith Zhong Bo closed the wooden box again.
Yang Cheng frowned and said, "Uncle Zhong, you mean that as long as you find a suitable crystal nucleus, you will give away this piece of equipment?" ”
"That's right." The old blacksmith smiled.
"As soon as I am old, I am destined to be the life of a blacksmith, and I will not fight with this world, so it is useless to keep this equipment. Just waiting for a destined person to appear, do you know what is the greatest wish of a good blacksmith? ”
"It's about building something to be proud of! And the biggest achievement is that I hope that the equipment I have built can be passed on in this world, just like storing my life in this spirit forever. The old blacksmith asked himself.
Yang Cheng, Brother Lang, and Rose were all shocked by the old blacksmith's grand idea, and after half a ring, Yang Cheng asked, "Uncle Zhong, what do you think is the most suitable crystal nucleus for this equipment?" ”
The old blacksmith lowered his head and pondered, and said: "Actually, I have thought about this problem before, I think the crystal nucleus of the Qilin is the best, but the Qilin, Xuanwu, Fire Phoenix, and Divine Dragon are all divine beasts, which are too unrealistic, so I think about it all night, and I think that the Mountain Spirit Deer is also a good choice." ”
"Mountain Spirit Deer?" Yang Cheng was silent, he still remembered that the first day he came to the Lost Realm was when he met the mountain god spirit deer......
