Three years of living together, caring for each other, none of them can be separated.

Emotions, like their martial arts, are growing.

The leopard's martial arts are not only genuine, which is easy to send and receive, but also the sword is exquisite and unpredictable, the attack must be there, and the sword is also as you like.

He is more familiar with various styles of martial arts and knows how to break through.

What's more, he also used the Duan family's light skills, Elder Mo's Ghost Crying God Three Palms, Shanxi Longmen Scholar's Ghost Palm, and the Eighteen Swordsmanship of the Tibetan Point School.

Eighteen swords of the coiling dragon, the leopard is shaken out today, it is far farther than in the past, I am afraid that no one is his opponent in this Tibetan point faction.

The leopard's martial arts can be said to be a combination of several martial arts, which can be used flexibly and not confined to one routine.

In fact, the Shadowless Sword Technique has reached its peak and is not limited to any one pattern.

The sword changes because of the enemy's change, and there is a saying in the "Book of War": "The one who wins because of the enemy's change is God."

The leopard's martial arts can be said to have reached the beauty of the gods.

Cuicui is far from being able to compare with the past.

Although she was not as strong as Leopard Er in terms of true qi, by practicing the Shadowless Sword, she not only opened up the two meridians, but also opened up the six meridians of the other meridians.

Her true qi has greatly improved, and she can become one of the best martial arts masters today.

She only practiced the eighty-first move of the Shadowless Sword.

Due to the 81st move of the Shadowless Sword, she was unable to break through because she lacked True Qi.

She didn't dare to continue training, fearing that if she didn't practice well, she would be crippled for life.

But ninety-nine-eighty-one moves are enough to deal with the current martial arts masters.

In fact, there are 148 skills in three levels: the first level has 64 skills, which is systematic;

Level 2, which is 81 tips;

The third level, 108 steps.

As for the 40 steps after 108 steps, it is aimed at the martial arts of various factions, using the first few steps to attack and split the sword, including broken swords, broken hands, broken sticks, etc.

The moves Cuicui had learned in the past were all included in the eighty-one Shadowless Swords, which were better and more mysterious than the Returnless Sword Technique.

In fact, the most basic foundation of the Shadowless Sword is the Blade of No Return.

After continuous improvement and innovation, the Shadowless Sword developed into the Black Arrow Sword.

In the end, after Master Fang Wu's careful consideration, combined with other excellent Shadowless Sword moves, this set of Shadowless Sword was created.

With this foundation, Cuicui can learn 81 moves of shadowless swordsmanship.

Other than that, she can only do a maximum of 64 moves.

Therefore, in terms of weird, twisty, and spicy swords, she is slightly better than Leopard's sword, but not as deep and ever-changing as Leopard's.

Even so, she was good enough to compete with the young swordsman dressed in black.

Coupled with her phantom-like lightning magic, she will dwarf the Black Swordsman and will be defeated by the Emerald Sword in a long battle.

After three years of hard study, the leopard was not in vain, and Cuicui was eager to get out of the valley!

She thought of the white fairy, the young master, and also thought of her adoptive father and adoptive mother and sister Qingqing.

It's been three years, she doesn't know what happened to them, and she doesn't know what happened in terms of martial arts, and they didn't cause trouble in the rivers and lakes with black arrows.

Although Cuicui went out to buy rice, cereals and some daily necessities every three months or half a year, she bought 50 miles for her family, mainly in the small town of Leopard Valley in Tibet, still in the mountains, far from rivers and lakes, away from martial arts, and did not hear the locals talk about rivers and lakes.

Even if someone gossips, they don't want to hear it, for fear of affecting their concentration in martial arts training.

As for the ancient temple built by Duan Lili, it was built two years ago, and there are more than a dozen monks chanting scriptures and worshipping Buddha in the newly built temple.

The monk who presided over this temple was a high monk.

From time to time, there are male and female believers who go up the mountain to burn incense and worship the Buddha, and the incense is prosperous.

Leopard and Cuicui are sensitive to Duan Lili's intentions, and Duan Lili not only repays the favor, but also hopes that Leopard can have a place to live.

When Duan Lili was building the ancient temple, she also built a villa near the ancient temple and sent someone to manage it, apparently for the leopard.

They didn't dare to appear in the ancient temple!

Because after Duan Lili knew, she would inevitably not be known by others.

Whether it is a friend or an enemy who hears the wind and discovers the wind, can she still learn martial arts with peace of mind?

Although the Tibetan Leopard Valley is only two miles away from the ancient temple and is close at hand, Leopard and Cuicui have never been to the ancient temple once, and they have to be grateful for Duan Lili's love.

Now Leopard and Cuicui practice martial arts, or go around the rivers and lakes, when?

One day, Cuicui asked Leopard, "Brother Leopard, when can we go down the mountain?"

The leopard still seemed reluctant to leave the leopard's labyrinth, but at the same time felt that the people on the lake were sinister, and said, "Why don't we stay here?"

"Don't you want to go down?"

"What are we going down the hill for?"

"Sister Duan is too good to you, and often sends people to inquire about your whereabouts. Don't you thank them?"

"No, no, we can't go to Sister Duan. ”

"Why?"

"Cuicui, didn't you say that Sister Duan let the Jinyi Guards secretly spy on them, isn't it good for us to go to Sister Duan?"

"Then my master and sister, you don't want to see them anymore, how much my lady cares about you!"

The leopard was silent for a long time, thinking: I can't stand it and send someone to say that I have ulterior motives, so I will break up unhappily, and now I am learning martial arts and running to see the fairy in white, doesn't that arouse the suspicion of others even more?

Also, what should I say to them?

How embarrassing!

Don't you go?

Cuicui hadn't seen her master for more than three years, and she tried her best to drag Cuicui forever to prevent them from meeting, which was too much to say!

Cuicui urged him again: "You speak!"

The leopard thought for a moment and said, "What if I go to see them and they won't let me go?

"Can my master keep you? Don't you want to see my adoptive father and adoptive mother?"

Speaking of Shang Liang, the leopard's heart was moved, so he nodded: "Okay! Then let's go down the mountain." I should have visited Uncle Shang. ”

Cuicui was overjoyed: "I thought you were timid and afraid of things, and you didn't dare to travel all over the world!"

"Cuicui, I'm really a little scared. ”

"What are you afraid of? afraid of meeting Black Arrow and his apprentice?"

"We'd better not run into them. ”

"Are you afraid we won't be able to beat them?"

"Can we defeat them?"

At this time, Leopard still had no confidence in his martial arts, he didn't know his martial arts, and practiced more than a hundred times.

Cuicui said, "Ah, we haven't played against them yet. How do we know we can't beat them?"

"What if we can't fight?"

"We can run! When you learn from us, will you surpass them? Besides, with our current martial arts, we may not be able to defeat them together. ”

"Cuicui, let's be careful—alright. ”

"Can I be careless with such a terrible demon? Isn't that hell?"

Cuicuizui said so, but in her heart she hoped to bump into this big devil, try how much progress her martial arts had made, and see how much she wanted to see the leopard's swordsmanship to defeat this devil.

So they packed up, and even took the jewels and a little silver, sealed the small hall hole with a boulder, and bid farewell to the maze of leopards and leopards for three years.

The leopard is still reluctant to give up on them, and Cuicui is reluctant to give it up, and asks the leopard: "Brother Leopard!

Shall we take it on the road?"

The leopard said, "Isn't that scary?"

Cuicui thinks that it is also, not only scaring the people, but also attracting people's attention to themselves, so no matter where they go, some people know how inconvenient it is to move.

She had to pet the leopard tenderly, kiss it, and say, "You'd better stay, big leopard; we'll come back to see you from time to time." ”

But the leopard kept driving them out of the valley until it turned away.

They climbed over the ridge and saw the ancient temple, with red walls and green tiles hidden in the verdant forest, and the faint sound of chanting could be heard.

Cuicui moved her curiosity and asked Leopard, "Shall we go and see that ancient temple?"

In fact, Cuicui doesn't say it, and the leopard also wants to go and see it.

The ancient temple was not only where he grew up, but also the burial place of his owner, Fang Wu.

Leopard was eager to see how it was built, but also to see if anyone had found his master's grave.

What if someone finds out about Master's body?

So the leopard said, "Okay, let's go and see." ”

The ancient temple sits on a small slope at the foot of a cliff with a newly built uphill stone path lined with trees.

On the stone steps, a stone arch stands upright.

On the plaque of the archway, there are four big characters of pen dancing and flying ink: "repay the favor to the ancient temple".

The leopard was a little stunned: "What's wrong with the Thanksgiving Ancient Temple?"

Cuicui said: "This is Sister Duan's change, isn't it?"

'Bao'en Ancient Temple' is good!"

"Can the name of the temple be changed?"

"Sister Duan is the princess of Dali, don't mention the name of the temple, it is the name of a town, she can also change it, maybe the local people are also proud!"

The leopard listened to Cuicui's words and was silent.

Cuicui asked, "Aren't you happy?"

Leopard said: "I'm not unhappy, I just think it's strange, can the name of the temple be changed randomly?"

"What's so strange about that?"

They walked through the stone archway, stepped up the stone steps, and saw a new pavilion built on the slope.

On the horizontal plaque of the pavilion, there are three big characters of "Reward Pavilion".

It seems that the construction of this pavilion is to allow people who go up the mountain to bring incense to rest on the hillside.

The pavilion is not big, but it is an antique building, which makes the uphill look new and the scenery is beautiful.

Leopard said: "Sister Duan is setting up a gazebo here, it's so good!"

Cuicui said: "Sister Duan has built a pavilion here. This temple must be beautiful. Let's go up and have a look. ”

They came to the gate of the "Thanksgiving Ancient Temple", and the ancient temple was completely different.

Once upon a time, it was just a low, dilapidated temple with a courtyard and kitchen at the back.

Now it's getting bigger and bigger.

In the single mountain gate, there are two stone gates guarding King Kong.

Entering the gate, there is a wide flat area with a large iron stove burning incense.

Is the north side of the flat land the Nobita Palace?

The building is resplendent in gold.

The two sides are side halls, the left is the Guanyin Temple, and the right is the Four Grace Temple.

At this time, a well-informed monk greeted him and said, "Two donors have come to my monastery. I don't know if they're burning incense, worshipping Buddha, or what they're doing?"

A monk who knows how to read people can be said to be good at reading people.

He could tell at a glance that Leopard and Cuicui were not women from nearby mountain villages, nor were they merchants walking in the city, nor were they pious men and women who specialized in burning incense and worshipping Buddha.

This charismatic young man and woman benefactor is not a child of a rich family, but an apprentice of the martial arts family.

Because the clothes of "Leopard" and "Cuicui" are well-cut and use high-quality silk materials (the clothes of "Leopard" and "Cuicui" are made of Cuicui, in order to walk on the mountains on the rivers and lakes, they are carefully cut and sewn, why is it not very decent).

Under the cloak, they are all strong clothes of martial arts.

The leopard's clothes and boots are all white silk, Cuicui is light green silk trousers on top and bottom, soft embroidered shoes on his feet, a sword hangs from his waist, and he carries a bag on his back.

They were all dressed up and ready for a long journey, as if they were passing by for sightseeing or a temporary stay.

At the same time, the owner of millet who presided over the temple fair once advised: "If there are any rivers and lakes at the temple fair, you must be careful to receive them, and you must not be rude and offended." ”

So I knew that the monk Ah saw Leopard and Cuicui entering the temple, and sent someone to report to Master Xiaomi, and came out to greet him, and asked carefully as soon as he moved.

Cuicui raised her eyebrows and said, "Let's come to incense, and the second is to visit the temple, okay?"

"Amitabha! It's good, it's good, it's good, it's a good place to save all living things. It is our honor that the donor has come to us. Two donors, please burn incense and worship the Buddha. Then the monk would take the benefactor to our monastery. ”

Cuicui smiled: "Monk, you are easy to talk!"

The leopard took out a gold leaf and handed it to the monk: "This is our sesame oil money, a little token of filial piety and idleness." I hope the master will take it. ”

The wise monk looked at the golden leaves and was a little surprised: "Amitabha!

Leopard and Cuicui followed the sage monk up the stone steps and entered the Hall of Great Heroes.

The wise monk ordered the little monk to beat the bell and drum, prepared incense candles, gold and silver paper, and asked the leopard and Cuicui to light incense and worship the Buddha.

Leopards and Cuicui reverently offer incense to the Buddha amid bells, drums and chanting.

Cuicui was originally a girl who was not afraid of the sky and the earth.

Somehow, when she saw the golden tall and solemn Buddha statue, she was also in awe, did not dare to make a sound, and bowed down reverently.

Leopards are more sincere.

Because he worships the Western Heavenly Buddha in his heart, he is also a Zen master Fang Wu, and he is deeply grateful to his master.

He silently prayed that his master would ascend to the heavenly realm.

After the visit, the monk said, "Invite the two donors to the monastery to taste tea." Then follow this monk to our monastery. ”

The leopard said, "The master is polite!"

"Amitabha! This is the duty of a monk. ”

Walking into the living room of the hall, it is really ethereal dust, compared with the ancient temples of the past, it is like a place in the world.

The leopard sighed even more, if the master was still in the world, how good it would be to have such a good place to raise his heart!

He not only wanted the little monk to serve fragrant tea, but also fresh melons and fruits.

I don't know if it is the effect of gold leaf on the leopard, or the extraordinary worship of the saint who worships the leopard and Cuicui, that is such a grand reception.

No other ordinary pilgrim receives such courtesy.

The leopard was eager to see where his master was buried, and where he lived and played as a child.

Cuicui also wanted to see how much the ancient temple had changed.

After drinking tea, they stood up.

The leopard said, "Master, can we go now?"

I don't know if the monk was in a hurry when he saw Leopard and Cuicui, he was a little confused, and thought: Why are they in a hurry to visit this ancient temple?

Is it for other purposes?

After hesitating for a moment, he also stood up.

"Bennett, come with that poor monk. He said.

The monk turned from the inner door to the Guanyin Hall on the left.

Although the Guanyin Hall is not as magnificent as the Daxiong Palace, it is not much better than the ancient temples of the past.

Around the temple, there are bamboo forests, small pavilions, and corridors, which are very elegant.

Enter the Guanyin Hall, and the statue of the Jade Guanyin Bodhisattva is enshrined in front.

The two sides are Guanyin, the left is a teenager, and the right is a dragon girl, the shape is lifelike, and the facial features are picturesque.

After the leopard and Cuicui visited, looking at Shancai and the dragon girl, Cuicui felt very surprised, Shancai's face and facial features were almost exactly the same as the leopard's face, which fully showed the demeanor of the leopard three years ago.

She gently pulled the leopard and said, "Brother leopard, look at that treasure boy." ”

"What is this for?"

Although the leopard said so, he still looked at the little boy.

"Don't you think you feel that way?"

"Like me?"

The leopard couldn't help but take a closer look and smiled: "It's not like me, but like your young master." ”

"Ahh If you look like him, aren't you like yourself?"

The leopard looked at the dragon girl again.

He didn't pay attention just now, but he was surprised again: "Cuicui, the dragon girl is more like you!"

"Don't talk nonsense. Like me?"

It is true that some people, especially those they love, often carve their own faces in their hearts, so that they do not pay much attention to their appearance.

This is probably because glass mirrors were not invented in ancient times, and the poor generally did not have bronze mirrors, and often just looked at the water, as long as their faces were not dirty, their hair was not messy, and they paid little attention to their appearance.

The leopard said, "Really, I don't lie to you, it really looks like you!"

I don't know if the monk heard them say this, he also paid attention, looked at it, and couldn't help but say, "Amitabha! The Good Wealth Boy and the Dragon Lady are really like these two donors. ”

Leopard still thinks it's strange, how good the money is, will the dragon girl like herself and Cuicui?

After learning that about three years ago, she and the leopard were kept in this ancient temple, and this group of craftsmen would believe that really, in shaping Guanyin, the face and expression of the leopard.

There is no other explanation.

The monk said, "The poor monk told me that when he was building this ancient temple, he was robbed by robbers.

Fortunately, Guanyin Bodhisattva came to the rescue and sent his servants, the Good Wealth Boy and the Dragon Maiden, to rescue the craftsman.

In order to thank the Goddess of Mercy Bodhisattva for his kindness, the craftsmen built this Kannon Hall and the entire temple and named it the Ancient Thanksgiving Hall. ”

Cuicui deliberately asked in surprise: "Is this really responsible?"

"No, the poor monk doesn't know. He only listens to legends. To my surprise, the Rich Boy and the Dragon Maiden looked like two donors. What a miracle!"

Leopard Er was afraid that he would know that the guest monk would continue to talk about it, so he revealed the clues about himself and Cuicui, and hurriedly diverted the conversation: "Master, take us elsewhere." ”

"Donor, please!"

Leopard and Cuicui took the monks to visit the Buddha shrine, the Eighteen Arhat Palace, the Tibetan Scripture Pavilion, the court, etc., and finally came to the place where Zen Master Fangwu was buried.

When the leopard saw the entrance of the small cave, a small pagoda was built, and the pagoda was called "Buddha Bone Pagoda", and he couldn't help but burn incense to worship, looking very excited, and said silently: "Master, the leopard's apprentice has come to visit you!"

The leopard did not dare to forget the great kindness of the master, and told him to eliminate the evil and the good in the rivers and lakes, and comfort the master with the spirit of the gods.

Cuicui also walked to the tower three kneeling and nine bowing ceremonies.

Although she was not an apprentice of Zen Master Fangwu, she learned the Shadowless Sword Technique and became half of Zen Master Fangwu's apprentice.

When she had finished eating, she stood up and said, "Master, how did you build a stupa here?"

Knowing that the monk saw Leopard and Cuicui going to the Buddha Bone Pagoda for such a big gift, he felt strange in his heart, but now he was even more stunned when he heard Cuicui ask!

I thought to myself: Don't you know that this pagoda was built for Zen Master Fangwu?

Why would you give such a great gift?

He said, "Benefactor, when the ancient temple was built, there was a skeleton in the cave.

The person in charge of building the ancient temple said that this was the remains of the ancient temple's Zen master, Monk Fangwu, and that people should not disturb it.

After that, the lord of the county came to pay his respects, and ordered people to clean the bones of Zen Master Fangwu, put them into the golden altar, and put them in the pagoda, and the pagoda was appointed as the Buddha's bones, so that they could come to pay tribute in the future!"
