Cuicui carefully watched how Zen Master Fangwu wrote in Zhuguang, and when she saw it, Cuicui couldn't help but be surprised.

Zen master Fang Wu once wrote: "The blood of the ironclad python, after being taken away, can enhance its internal force, which is stronger than the internal force of eight years." ”

Python skin, soaked in vinegar for half a month, its soft as silk, can be made into vests, pants, after production, rinsed with water, still soft as silk, but its toughness can avoid swords;

The rosary on its head is a unique treasure in the martial arts, which can not only illuminate at night, but also detoxify and ward off evil spirits, and cure all kinds of poisons.

The iron-scaled python is a rare treasure in the martial arts, and it seems to have disappeared from the world and cannot be found.

After reading it, Cuicui was really surprised, happy and regretful, she knew that she would drink a few more python blood.

Now, let this treasure not flow freely to the earth, and let it be wasted!

Luckily, the python's skin is still there.

I'd have to make it into a vest and pants.

In the days to come, I will no longer be afraid of being hurt by my opponent and Brother Leopard.

At this time, the leopard shouted below, "Cuicui, eat! ”

Cuicui then remembered that she had blindly read a book and forgot about eating, but she hoped that Brother Leopard would cook so that she could eat herself, and said that she wanted to learn sword wholeheartedly for Brother Leopard in the future.

Cuicui replied "Ahh

She put away the good book and ran down with the python and the python beads.

She said apologetically and reproachfully, "Brother Leopard, why don't you tell me to come down and cook? Are you ready to call me? From now on, you can't do that! You let me cook and wash clothes." ”

The leopard smiled and said, "Who did it and didn't do it?"

"Why are you here again? No, you can't do these things from now on. Practice your martial arts and shadowless sword with your heart. ”

The leopard said, "Okay, okay, let's eat quickly." ”

"Hey, do you promise or not?"

"I didn't promise?"

"If you make a promise, you have to keep it. A man is a man. ”

"What if you forgot to cook? Am I not hungry?"

"Won't you let me do it?"

"Are you out? Do you want me to wait for you to come back and cook?"

"I can't really go out and come back. I'll let you know. ”

"Okay, can we eat now?"

Cuicui smiled and said, "Eat!"

They ate and talked.

Leopard asked, "How many books have you read in the stone house?"

"How many books? I didn't read them all. ”

"Oh, haven't you read them all? What kind of book is that?"

Cuicui blinked: "I won't tell you now." That's right, after dinner, I want to go out for a walk. ”

"Cuicui, you can't see either, what time is it, and you still want to go out for a walk? It's dark!"

"I wanted to go out because it was dark and no one could see me. ”

"What are you doing here?"

The leopard was confused.

"The girls' private affairs. ”

"Is it the middle of the night?"

"When I got to the city, wasn't it dawn?"

"Cuicui, what do you want to buy?"

"Scissors, needlework, paper, girls can have everything I want, I know you're an alcoholic, I'm going to buy you two bottles of good wine." ”

"Cuicui, you won't buy me wine!"

"Oh, don't you drink?"

"Wait until I learn my master's Shadowless Sword. ”

"Later, later, when will you know that you can learn?"

"Half a month, I think I'll learn. ”

"Brother Leopard, don't dream! Half a month? I'm afraid you won't be able to learn, it will take three years. ”

The leopard was shocked.

"Three years?"

"Three years is the best! Brother Leopard, please think about it. Not only your master's Shadowless Sword, but also all the martial arts in the stone house. Can you finish it in three years?"

"Why should I learn other martial arts?"

"Even if you don't learn martial arts, you should know about the various martial arts styles. Otherwise, you're on the rivers and lakes, how can you fight with people? You can't just wave your shadowless sword and not understand other people's gestures, right?"

"This ——!"

"Don't do this, that, that! Your master collects the secrets of the martial arts of various martial arts schools in the martial arts, just to let you know their martial arts style, so as to avoid their strengths, fight their weaknesses, and crack them. Don't you learn?"

The leopard was stunned for a long time: "So, we won't live in this cave for three years, right?"

"Isn't that bad?"

"I'm afraid we'll have to buy more rice, grain, oil, and salt!"

"Brother Leopard, you don't have to worry. I'll do it well. You just need to practice your martial arts wholeheartedly. ”

"So you go out every month?"

"Yes!"

"Is it always at night?

"So no one will know we're in the valley. ”

"No, Cuicui, I can't let you out, you have to go past me. It's too dangerous for you to go out alone. ”

"How do you know what I need?"

"Won't you tell me?"

"Brother Leopard, there are some things that girls use, which is inconvenient to say. ”

"Otherwise, I'll go out with you. ”

"Doesn't that prevent you from practicing?"

"I don't believe you went out alone. ”

"Are you afraid someone will eat me?"

"No, if you go out and I'm alone in the cave, I'm afraid I won't have the courage to practice my skills. Maybe my imagination will get carried away. ”

Cuicui - Listen, it's serious!

I thought: If I really have an accident outside alone and can't come back, won't I let him worry?

Once he's crazy, is it all over?

Then he said, "Well, let's go out and rest together after dinner?"

"Cuicui, so I'm relieved. ”

After dinner, they fed the leopards, rested for a while, told the leopards to guard the cave, and then went out with the pythons.

Cuicui does not use a bamboo raft to cross the surface of the pool, but uses a phantom to pass through the surface of the pool.

With the help of bamboo, the leopard crossed the deep pool with the help of the Duan family.

Cuicui said, "Brother Leopard, do what I have done to you, and do what you should do, so that you don't fall into deep water and have too much trouble." ”

"Okay, then you can teach me. ”

"How can I not teach you?"

"Cuicui, I will also learn the Shadowless Sword to teach you. ”

"I don't have the spirit of yours, and you can't teach me. ”

"No, Cuicui, you can take your time, you can definitely learn. ”

"Okay! I finished reading the martial arts secrets in the stone house, and you taught me well. ”

As they walked out of the cave and crossed the valley, the sky was full of stars, as if they were hesitating.

The valley was so dark that I couldn't even see a finger.

Luckily, leopards have a natural pair of night eyes that allow them to see in the dark.

Cuicui was afraid of attracting attention, so she had hidden the python beads in her arms.

As she exited the pass, Cuicui asked, "How about going to the town we used to go to?"

Both the owner and the second child knew us and we could ask them to buy us some salty rice. ”

Leopard thought for a moment, "We'd better not go to that town. ”

"Where are we going?"

"Walking east, I know that there is a town 80 miles away, called Wangjia Town. It's a town deep in the mountains. ”

"Can we get there before dawn?"

"I don't know. Get your feet wet. ”

So they set out eastward, through the mountains, through the forests, through the valleys, over the mountains.

As soon as the morning dawned, the small town of Wangjiaqiao appeared at their feet.

The town of Wangjiaqiao is actually a small dam in the middle of a mountain forest.

It is a small mountain town inhabited by various ethnic groups in Yunnan, most of whom are Bai, but there are also Han, Yi, Hani, etc.

Han merchants often come to Bazi to buy animal skins and medicinal materials, and at the same time bring salt, cloth and other goods, which is very lively.

Along the way, the leopard hunts some small beasts, and Cuicui disguises them as a pair of hunter brothers and sisters to sell in the town.

They didn't bargain either, so they quickly sold it and ate it in a restaurant.

For this day, they bought the necessities of the town: a jar of wine, two jars of vinegar, and a large jug of water.

The leopard was a little dazed and asked Cuicui: "Why did you buy a big water tank and two cans of vinegar?"

The two jars of vinegar and water, Cuicui is used to soak python skin, she didn't want to explain in front of the leopard, she just said: "This is used to eat kimchi, kimchi!"

"Oh, don't use vinegar, just soak it in rice water. ”

"Okay?"

"Yes, yes, my master used to wash the cabbage and eat it. ”

"Oh! I just like to buy it!"

The leopard said, "Good!

They bought a jar of wine, two jars of vinegar, a large jar of water, and daily necessities such as rice, oil, salt, and cloth, weighing more than 200 catties.

It weighs more than 200 pounds, which is a piece of cake for a leopard.

But these canisters are hard to carry.

So the leopard bought some rope and a mahogany pole.

He folded one jar of wine and two jars of vinegar on one side, and tied them on the other.

He put rice, oil, salt, cloth, and other things into the jar and left.

In people's eyes, the leopard is just a teenager who can carry a heavy object of 200 pounds without changing his face.

Suddenly, some people in the town were stunned and said, "This little brother is a boy with a lot of energy." I don't know which village he came from. When I grow up, I will definitely be able to capture tigers and leopards alive. ”

Leopard and Cuicui had just left the city.

Suddenly, a Hui man with a white cloth on his head stepped forward to greet the young man.

He said to the leopard, "Brother, stay a little longer." ”

The leopard was stunned: "Who is your brother?"

"Harissa, my brother, has something to discuss with my brothers and sisters. ”

Cuicui felt strange and asked Leopard, "Do you know what this Hariza is called?"

The leopard said, "I don't know!"

Cuicui asked, "Since you don't know, how can he have something to discuss with you?"

"Who knows!"

The Hui Manchus hurriedly said: "My master is a big merchant of Persia. He came to the Central Plains to buy all kinds of rare treasures. It seems that there must be a different treasure in this little brother.

The leopard said, "I'm afraid you've mistaken someone." What treasures do we have? Besides, there's no point in discussing our journey home. ”

The leopard is still carrying a burden of more than two hundred pounds and walking, walking slowly, if it is like nothing is right, it is not good for the leopard and Cuicui, but in the eyes of others, it is even more surprising!

Didn't the boy know that his burden was too heavy?

Why don't you put down your burden and talk?

The leopard said that he was about to leave.

Just then, an old man with deep eyes and a high nose walked up to the leopard and bowed to him. His beard was as short as a needle, pierced into his head, and was set with a bright ruby.

He said in fluent words, "Little brother!

The leopard had no choice but to put down his burden, and hurriedly replied, "Don't dare! What did your father tell you?"

"Can my little brother and your sister come to my humble house?"

"I don't know the old man. ”

"It's okay, do it again. Friends twice, away from home, we were friends. ”

For the first time, Cuicui saw such a deep-eyed, high-nosed old man, and a pair of blue eyes like the sea.

She was very surprised, raised her eyebrows and asked, "Who are you?"

"That's the old man's name. ”

"What do you want us to sit on?"

"Girl, this is not the place to live. You'd better go to my humble house and say slow down. ”

The leopard said, "We can go home soon!"

"Little brother, don't worry, the old man can send a few Sichuan horses to send you back, and it won't delay the time for the little brother to go home. ”

Harissa said as she ordered the four servants behind him, "Haven't you picked up something for him yet?"

"Yes!" replied one of the servants.

He moved quickly, and before the leopard could speak, he had already carried a heavy object of more than two hundred pounds and flew away.

The leopard tried to stop him, but it was too late.

Of course, it is not impossible for the leopard to really want to stop him, but he is afraid of coming like this, and then showing his martial arts, he is afraid of attracting people's attention.

Harissa arched his hand again and said, "Young man, woman, please!"

The leopard thought to herself: It seems that it is not possible to go with him! What does this strange old man want to say to himself? Isn't there any treasure on him?

The leopard still didn't know that Cuicui still had a jewel in her arms that would attract the attention of the Persians.

Even the quirky elf Cuicui was surprised.

Although she knew that she was holding a rare martial arts treasure in her arms, she had never shown herself in front of people.

Did he see it?

It's impossible.

His blue eyes are more powerful than those of his brother Leopard, can he see through a person's heart?

I'll see if that's the case.

They followed Harissa the Persian to a very tall building.

As soon as you enter the gate, you will find gardens, pavilions, and covered bridges, with different views.

Leopard Er and Cuicui suspected that they had entered the Heavenly Palace, and the servants they saw were wearing clothes that were better and nobler than themselves.

They followed the master through a corridor paved with flowers and strange stones, and entered a grand hall.

The floor of the hall is paved with marble, which is smooth and clean enough to shine on people.

The tables in the temple were of the same color as the tables, and were inlaid with sour wood, and were of fine marble.

In the middle of the screen, there are many gems inlaid with brilliant colors, which are not worth a thousand gold.

The furniture and utensils in the hall are made of gold, silver, and jade.

Cuicui could never have imagined that there would be such a rich man's home in such a small dam on the top of the mountain, and it was a Hu man with deep eyes and a high nose.

Harissa invited them to sit down and ordered his servants to serve them golden cups of fragrant tea.

Because Bao'er has experienced a period of time in the rivers and lakes and has been in contact with many people, she is not a child in the mountains who didn't know anything in the past.

He arched his hands and asked, "I wonder if the old man invites his younger brothers and sisters to come, what instructions do you have?"

"Why is he in such a hurry?"

"I'll talk about it when you're done drinking. ”

"Don't give me wine," said the old man.

"Say whatever you want. ”

He laughed again.

"Have a drink," he said.

"Why be polite? It's coming! The wine is ready!"

A well-dressed servant next to Hariza replied "yes" and shouted in the house, "Drink!"

Then, a group of blondes emerged from behind the screen, holding plates and drinks in their hands.

Each of them wore a silk garment as thin as a butterfly's wings, with bare shoulders.

They smelled good, danced little steps, and respectfully poured wine for the leopard and the cuicui.

Leopard and Cuicui have never seen such a scene.

Cuicui looked up and down this group of Western Regions beauties curiously.

Leopards don't dare to look at them!

Wine is wine, the cup is a luminous cup, and the food is a mountain delicacy.

These delicacies, leopards and cuicui, have not been eaten, let alone seen.

Hariza raised his glass.

In order to show respect, the old man did his best first. ”

He finished it in one bite.

He was very hospitable, and the leopard was too embarrassed to refuse.

Moreover, he had never drunk this alcohol, so he was curious and wanted to give it a try.

So he took the cup and said, "Please!" ”

Cuicui had to take a small sip.

The two beauties next to them poured their wine again.

After drinking three rounds of wine and eating some delicious food, the leopard still wanted to ask.

Hariza clapped his hands.

The leopard didn't know what Hariza was doing, and suddenly, another group of Western beauties in pink dresses, with their arms bared and flowing ribbons, sang and danced to the music, helping the leopard and Cuicui to dance and dance.

In the palatial hall, drinking wine, listening to music, and watching more than a dozen pairs of jade arms dance, this is simply the life of an emperor.

The leopard was so surprised that she couldn't say anything she wanted to ask.

He sat and meditated like an old monk, drinking cup after cup.

The wine has a little sweetness, which is far less easy to drink than white wine, Daqu, and bamboo leaf green.

Cuicui is not bound by leopards.

She was in a happy mood as she watched more than a dozen beautiful women with snowflake-like skin dance.

From time to time, she squinted at the leopard, who sat like an old monk, his eyes looking at his nose and heart.

Somehow, she felt relieved, relieved, that the leopard was too honest to look at it.

Cuicui asked Leopard gently: "Brother Leopard." Why don't you look at them? How well they dance. ”

The leopard also whispered, "Don't look, it may be a goblin." ”

"What? goblins?"

Cuicui almost squirted out with a sip of wine, "How can there be monsters during the day?"

"Cuicui, we must be careful!"

This Harissa has nothing to do with us, and I'm afraid we want him to entertain us with something. ”

Cuicui nodded, and thought to herself: Who is this old man? How can he be so rich? If he is so rich, why does he not live in a bustling city, but in a small dam on the top of a mountain? How did he get so much gold and silver? Is it a prince of Kupang, or a thief in the sea? Is he so warm and grand to receive himself in order to get the python bead back?

Or something else?

After singing and dancing, and eating the food and drinks, the leopard stood up and said, "Thank you for your kindness and enthusiasm." The old man has something to say, just say it. Otherwise, young people will go. ”

"In this case, the old man has to speak out," Hariza said.

"Please!"

"Little brother, do you know what that old man is?"

"The old man will forgive, but the young man will not ask for it. ”

The old man was a businessman who bought all the rare things in the world.

The old man knew that his brother had hidden a rare pearl in his sister's body, and he didn't know if he was willing to compromise with her.

If you are willing to compromise, is the old man willing to pay a lot of money, is he willing to buy?"

Cuicui asked, "How do you know I have a pearl on me?"

Hariza laughed.

"No one knows, but the old man knows. ”

Cuicui asked again, "Oh! How do you know?"

Although the heroine was locked in her arms, the purple light still faintly appeared in the pearl. No one can see it, only the eyes of the old man!"

"Really?"

"The old man doesn't dare to tell lies, don't you know if the heroine is willing to compromise?"
