The night is long, the autumn is beautiful, and the dark moon and stars shine sleeplessly. Candlelight flickering, in an idiot's dream, a greedy joy, like floating on the clouds, nine heavens in the world.

The beautiful scenery of the Spring Festival will always make people nostalgic and forgetful.

Xiao Ding and the civet cat tossed for most of the night, until it was almost dawn, and then they fell asleep.

slept until three o'clock in the morning, until a knock on the door sounded, and Xiao Ding woke up from his deep sleep.

He got up and put on his clothes to open the door, and found that the officer who was in charge of the armory was standing outside, he was holding the Tianluo knife in his hand, handed it to Xiao Ding and said, "Deputy Marshal Tian, I have already asked someone to help you modify this knife." ”

Xiao Ding took the Tianluo knife and looked at it, and found that the handle of the knife was indeed riveted with new rivets. I took it in my hand a few times, pulled a few knives and flowers, and felt that it was okay, so I asked the officer to go back first.

In fact, he doesn't know what knife tricks are, and he pulls the knife flower indiscriminately.

At this time, Xiao Ding suddenly discovered that this knife now has no scabbard!

That day, when the civet cat rescued him, the knife was stuck in his body. The scabbard was still in Shangguan Batian's hands, and the civet cat didn't think about bringing the scabbard back with him at that time.

Now that Shangguan Batian's corpse may have been eaten by the beast, I don't know if I can find the scabbard.

He walked into the tent with the Tianluo knife, and saw that the civet cat had also woken up at this time, and was lying on the bed looking at him with its head tilted.

Xiao Ding suddenly thought that he already had a weapon mace, and the civet didn't seem to have a weapon in his hand, this Tianluo knife was extremely sharp, it was a good blade, it was better to simply give the Tianluo knife to the civet to use.

So, he said to the civet: "This Tianluo knife is very sharp, I will use it as a self-defense weapon for you in the future." It's just that there is no scabbard yet, and I'll ask someone to go to Funiu Mountain to find the scabbard later. ”

The civet nodded in acquiescence. Still looking at Xiao Ding with big watery eyes.

Xiao Ding suddenly thought that the civet cat had now entered the second layer of qi training, so could she also practice a few small spells. So he asked, "After you entered the second layer of Qi training, did you have any practice methods for several small spells to appear out of thin air in your head?" For example, opening the eyes of the sky, opening the ears of the sky, vajra, sound transmission and so on. ”

The civet shook its head, still not speaking, still staring at Xiao Ding.

Xiao Ding frowned, and said in his heart, how could the spirit cat be different from when he first entered the second layer of qi training? At that time, I automatically had the practice method of those spells in my head, right? Why didn't the civet cat?

He thought about it and guessed that it was probably related to his jade pendant, maybe everything that appeared in his mind came from the jade pendant, and the civet cat did not have a jade pendant, so even if she broke through the second layer of qi training, she did not have the practice method of those spells in her brain. It seems that I can only teach her slowly in the future.

Seeing that the civet cat was still lying on the bed and couldn't get up, Xiao Ding urged her: "You still can't get up?" It's almost noon, and if someone comes later, someone will block the bed, but don't blame me for not reminding you! ”

When the civet heard this, she reluctantly got up and dressed. Xiao Ding saw that the underwear and outer clothes on the civet cat were still coarse cloth clothes brought from Woniu Village, so he suddenly thought that it would be better to take her to Zhongzhou City later and buy a few better clothes for her.

After the two got up and washed up, it was already time.

The breakfast in the barracks cafeteria must have been gone a long time at this time. The two of them ate some of the food stored in Xiaoding's space before, mostly dry food, and the chicken soup that the Ninth Princess had made for him.

There are more than ten cans of chicken soup stored in Xiao Ding's space. At the beginning, Xiao Ding and Mu Yiyi drank several cans on the way to Jingzhou, and recently he and the civet cat also drank several cans. There were still four or five cans left in his space. However, among the remaining four or five cans, three or four cans were boiled by the Ninth Princess after adding tonics. Xiao Ding generally didn't dare to drink these cans.

After all, he is young, strong, and has exercises in his body, so he doesn't need to use tonic medicine at all.

After the two of them made do with some food, Xiao Ding went out to find four or five soldiers who had gone to look for him that day, and asked them to go to Funiu Mountain together to find Shangguan Batian's corpse and see if they could find the scabbard of the Tianluo knife.

After several soldiers agreed, they went to Funiu Mountain together.

Xiao Ding wanted to take the civet cat to Zhongzhou City to buy things, but at this time, it will be noon in just over an hour. It's better to wait for lunch and then go to the city in the afternoon, so that you can go shopping with peace of mind. Anyway, I don't have much to do all day now, and it doesn't hurt to go to the city in the afternoon to spend an afternoon with the civet.

At lunchtime, several soldiers who went to Funiu Mountain to look for the scabbard returned, they went smoothly and did not encounter any danger, because they were familiar with the path, they went directly to the corpse of Shangguan Batian, and picked up the scabbard. At the same time, he also picked up a piece of snakeskin armor and came back.

Xiao Ding knew that this snakeskin armor was made of the snake skin of the giant snake at the top of Luoxia Peak, which was invulnerable. It's just that at this time, the scabbard and snakeskin armor were stained with a lot of blood, and Xiao Ding took a lot of effort to brush the blood stains on it.

He put the Tianluo knife back into the scabbard and gave it to the civet along with the armor, and the civet took the knife in his hand and danced a few times, very satisfied.

In fact, the civet cat is also the same as Xiao Ding, when he was in the army, he only learned some combat skills such as hand-to-hand combat, and did not learn any swordsmanship and swordsmanship.

The combat skills they learn are more inclined to killing skills, somewhat similar to the way killers fight. Every time he makes a move, he makes a move in a way that puts people to death. There aren't too many fancy routines.

In this way, your own strength and speed will immediately become an advantage. Because you are powerful and fast, you will strike first, and you have already killed your opponent with one sword, and no matter how many martial arts routines the opponent has, it is useless.

Xiao Ding's previous battles were basically like this, using his own strength and speed advantage to quickly attack the opponent's vital points, making the opponent's complicated routines useless.

Moreover, after entering the second floor of Qi training, your eyesight and hearing will go to the next level, no matter how cumbersome your moves are, you can see them clearly, and quickly find out the flaws in them, and take advantage of the weakness.

So when Xiao Ding gave the Tianluo knife to the civet cat for self-defense, he didn't consider whether she knew how to use the knife technique. Because he believed that with the intelligence of the civet cat and his previous combat experience in the army, he could completely control this knife.

In the past, when the two of them went out on missions, sometimes they didn't even have knives, and for them, most of the time, they used whatever they had around them, and they could even use towels to kill people.

After eating, Xiao Ding called the civet, and the two prepared to go to Zhongzhou City together to buy some clothes and jewelry and other daily necessities for the civet.

The two rode out of the barracks and were heading in the direction of Zhongzhou City, and not far from Zhongzhou City, they suddenly saw dust on the road ahead. A horse-drawn carriage came running quickly in front of it, and there seemed to be someone chasing after it.

Xiao Ding was stunned, what happened ahead?
