674: Deformed monster
Ning family.
Ning Buxiu arrived at the blacksmith shop.
Meanwhile, under the sweat-soaked efforts of a dozen craftsmen, two massive iron blanks for the swords had just come out of the furnace.
For Ning Buxiu's two swords, the Old Blacksmith had forged them as one-piece.
The handle and the blade were a single entity.
For such terrifying greatswords, attempting to attach handles externally was simply impossible.
"The blanks are out?" Ning Buxiu looked at the two iron masses and asked the Old Blacksmith beside him.
"Yes, the... the blanks are out." The Old Blacksmith forced a stiff smile. Seeing these two large iron masses, he felt the term "sword" was a bit hard to say.
"I'll take them and try them out," Ning Buxiu nodded.
"Master, you want to take them? How about I call a dozen helpers to carry them for you?"
"No need," Ning Buxiu calmly refused, then reached out his hand towards one of the greatswords before him.
If the finished sword design Ning Buxiu provided looked like a triangular prism-shaped iron mass, then the current blanks were even more irregular, oversized iron blocks!
From the appearance.
These two so-called blanks were nothing more than a large and heavy end, with the other end being a handle as thick as an arm.
"Master, the edges haven't been removed yet, and they haven't been polished. They're very heavy..." The Old Blacksmith was about to warn him.
However, as soon as the warning words were out, his mouth slightly opened.
The apprentices and the Old Blacksmith watching around were also shocked, their eyes wide open. They were witnessing something unbelievable that they had never seen in their lives!
They saw.
When Ning Buxiu's hand grasped the handle of the sword blank, feeling its immense weight, he slightly frowned. With a burst of strength, he directly lifted this iron mass, which was almost the size of an adult!
Looking at the massive object in his hand, Ning Buxiu's only feeling was that it was heavy, extremely heavy!
Under normal circumstances, he absolutely couldn't use this thing as a weapon. It was a significant burden on him. Being able to lift it was already due to the Foundation of over a hundred years of external martial arts.
If he truly wanted to swing it, he would have to unleash the Gold Blood Bull King Strength at full power.
Only with the power amplification from the phantom behind him could he match it.
This wasn't a problem.
After all, using this kind of weapon already meant going all out.
Once the Cultivation Techniques sent by the County Office arrived and his strength reached another level, using these two swords would be even easier.
"I'm leaving," Ning Buxiu greeted the Old Blacksmith, then directly gripped the handles of the two swords and strode towards the door.
Ning family.
Under the shroud of night, many people were still engrossed in their telephones.
After the software update in the evening, Ye Ning's Weibo had another wave of hot topics tonight.
Many people who clicked into Ye Ning's Weibo could see the rankings.
They were selfies of beautiful women.
This matter originated from a courtesan in the Wanhua Brothel.
She, who had been studying the telephone's functions, boredom led her to post a few selfies on Ye Ning's Weibo.
Courtesans from the Wanhua Brothel, women from such high-class pleasure houses, naturally had nothing to say about their figures and looks.
The high-ranking officials and noblemen who frequently visited such places didn't think much of it.
But in any place of this era, the largest proportion of the population has always been those who have never seen a beautiful woman in their lives, or even those who have never left their Village!
In their eyes, the most beautiful woman might just be the gap-toothed girl from the neighboring Village, or the widow Zhang from the East end of the Village...
When those clear selfies appeared before everyone's eyes, people looked as if they saw a Fairy, almost drooling in front of the telephone screen!
And under the post of this courtesan named Xiaowei, over ten thousand comments accumulated in just one hour!
Ninety percent of them were words of praise, expressing admiration.
This kind of overwhelming praise made Xiaowei feel completely dizzy.
People like them had never thought they would receive so much praise in their lives. Such treatment was simply like being a Princess!
Correspondingly, after Xiaowei became popular, a series of consequences followed.
That was the trend of following suit with selfies.
Women's competitive psychology is very strong, especially when it comes to beauty.
In Five Directions City, some who considered themselves to have good looks also proudly posted selfies with accompanying text.
In just a short hour, the selfie trend swept across the entire Five Directions City through Ye Ning's Weibo.
While allowing countless Men to feast their eyes, it also made them feel inseparable from their telephones.
It was also because of this incident that many servants in the Ning family were still awake at this time, hiding under their blankets secretly playing with their telephones.
A side room.
Gao Xue's residence in the Ning family.
Gao Xue wasn't sleepy tonight.
After a nap at noon, she had a terrifying nightmare.
Thinking of the monster in the nightmare, covered in eerie eyes, Gao Xue's body was still trembling slightly at this moment.
"Sister, if you can't sleep, play City Escape with me!"
Gao Xue was holding her telephone, talking to Gao Lang on the other end.
From time to time, she could also hear the sound of Gao Lang collecting coins from the game.
"Play, all you know is play! I'm serious, I think I've encountered a Ghost again! Young Master Ning said I have a Physique that attracts Ghosts and monsters. Today's nightmare is definitely problematic!"
Gao Xue repeatedly emphasized.
"Aren't you in the Ning Mansion? Young Master Ning is also in the Ning Mansion, what are you afraid of?" Gao Lang said indifferently, then added, "I'm thinking of telling Father to pledge allegiance to the Ning family now. Look how powerful the Ning family is now! The number one Gaopeng Family in Five Directions City!"
"And this telephone industry, the one who invented it is simply a Genius!"
"Sister, why don't you just marry Young Master Ning? Young Master Ning's future achievements will definitely be extraordinary!"
"What nonsense are you talking about?!" Gao Xue lightly spat, her face red: "With this Physique that attracts Ghosts, wouldn't marrying Young Master Ning be harming him?!"
"Besides... how could Young Master Ning fancy a woman from a small Gaopeng Family like me."
"Alright, I'm not talking to you anymore, you're getting more and more ridiculous." Gao Xue called out unhappily, then hung up the telephone.
Holding the telephone, the woman looked at the candle slowly burning on the table. Thinking of Ning Buxiu, she was somewhat distracted.
"Hoo ~ Hoo ~ Hoo ~"
Unconsciously, a chilling breeze slowly blew from behind.
Gao Xue shivered slightly, feeling a bit cold.
The doors and windows are all closed, where is this wind coming from?
The woman felt a slight doubt in her heart.
With some awareness, she slowly turned her head...
"Whoosh ~" A slightly curled piece of paper lay on the ground. There was nothing unusual behind her.
The doors and windows were also closed. The only thing that was somewhat incomprehensible... was the shadow behind her.
Gao Xue felt that her shadow, illuminated by the candle, seemed to be slightly larger than before.
She didn't know if it was an illusion or what.
Gathering her spirits, Gao Xue turned back.
"!!!"
A rotting face covered in pinprick eyes, so close she could almost touch it, appeared abruptly and without any warning before her eyes!
As if it had been there all along!
Everything was so quiet, a quietness mixed with suffocation!
"A... Mi... tuo Buddha." From the distorted mouth of the rotting face before her, four large words were slowly uttered. As the dark, sharp teeth parted, a slender, round tongue slowly brushed across them.
"Ah!!" Only at this moment did Gao Xue finally snap back to reality, screaming out in extreme fear.
"Be... Benefactor, your eyes... your eyes are so beautiful. Please bestow them upon... upon this humble monk. This... this humble monk can become Buddha, become Buddha!" The talking monster had two heads, both covered in eyes!
After saying the word "Buddha," the eyes on its face twisted into an extremely ferocious and Madness expression.
"No, don't come over! Don't come over!" Gao Xue's legs were completely weak.
As her body stumbled in panic, she kept retreating towards the corner of the room.
But after a short while, she backed into the wall and couldn't escape!
"Bang ~" The terrifying monster slowly walked towards the woman in the corner.
As it walked, she realized it had five legs, three hands, and its surface was covered in eyes!
Deformed, a deformed and eerie monster!
"Thank you, Benefactor, for helping... helping me become Buddha!" The mouths of different sizes on the monster's two heads simultaneously grinned.
"No, no!" Gao Xue was already scared out of her wits.
Although she had seen Ghosts before, this was the first time she had seen such a terrifying creature!
"Rumble Rumble Rumble ~"
Suddenly, a dull sound abruptly came from outside the courtyard at this moment.
This sound... was like some heavy object being dragged on the ground by someone, the muffled rumbling like thunder surging from underground, slowly approaching!
