So, Cuicui was busy making vests again.

She cut, cut, sew, no matter day or night, and even gave up martial arts, it took a few days to weave out two vests, where the sewing needle was, she sewed up again, when encountered, just the opponent's sword in the seam place, hurt herself, although under the seam sides, the sword cut is not easy, but often there are some excellent swordsmen to prevent injury.

The skin of a giant python, with its head and tail removed, can only be made into two vests, but it is impossible to make more.

Only fragments remain.

Cuicui still didn't want to throw it away, and used these python skins to make two pairs of gloves and a pair of foot covers, almost all of which could be used, and there was no waste.

Then put it into the dragon pond to soak and float straight for more than a month before catching it.

She tried to cut it with scissors, but it was too hard to cut.

Cuicui was still not at ease, took out her Qinghong sword, aimed at a pair of foot covers hanging on the stone wall, and pierced hard, but she couldn't pierce it.

She put it on the ground again, wielding her sword, stinging Cuicui's wrist, but the python skin made of the soles of her feet remained intact, as good as before.

The sword of the blue rainbow can break stones and cut iron like mud, but it can't pierce the skin of a giant python.

It is ten times harder than the original python skin soaked in vinegar or water.

It's weird, Cuicui is crazy!

These two python skin vests, hand guards, and foot guards are real martial arts treasures.

These beads are worth ten times more than python beads.

From now on, I will fight the leopard, and I will no longer be afraid of the enemy's swords and flying covert weapons.

These two priceless python vests were just like today's bulletproof vests.

Cuicui put the dried vest, hand protection, and feet on her chest and held them in her arms, and turned back to the main hall with excitement, and saw that the mountain leopard was still contemplating and meditating on the seventy stone sculptures on the stone wall.

In the past two months, the leopard has looked at his 70th pattern.

At first, he could see eight motifs in a day, but when he saw them, his progress became slower and slower.

Sometimes it took him two or three days to see and understand the meaning of the sword's scratches on a stone.

Cuicui didn't pay attention to the leopard's learning skills because she was too focused on making the vest.

Now she saw that he was still meditating on the seventieth painting, and thought: What is wrong with him?

Didn't he look at those seventy paintings the day before yesterday?

Can't you touch it now?

Did you encounter any difficulties?

She didn't dare to alarm the leopard, and was about to take the vest.

Suddenly, the leopard screamed.

Cuicui was stunned and asked, "Brother Leopard, what's wrong with you?"

She was worried that the leopard was going crazy.

The leopard glanced at her, smiled briefly and said, "I'm fine." I just think it's weird. ”

"Strange, what's so strange about this?"

"Cuicui, look at this shadowless sword technique, see which move?"

"I didn't see it!"

"Why don't you watch it?"

"Brother Leopard, I don't like you, I wasn't born that day, I was afraid of messing up the meridians, and now you are upset, so I don't dare to look down. I only practice phantoms and swords. ”

"Cuicui, you have to look down slowly, calmly, and unhurriedly. Let your true spirit naturally follow the direction of the sword's movement. Then there would be nothing. ”

"Oh?"

"Cuicui, I didn't pay attention to it before, but I only noticed it when I was looking at these seventy sword pictures!"

"Is that what you want to know?"

"Yes!

"Tell me, why is this weird?"

"Cuicui, you know, every time I look at ten paintings, I feel the acupuncture points on my body beat slightly, and then I rely on luck to adjust my breathing. Then I felt that my spirits were greatly strengthened and my blood was clear. I didn't pay attention to it a few days ago, but when I saw the 60th picture, there was another acupuncture point beating, and I was a little surprised! Today when I saw the 70th picture, I saw another acupuncture point beating violently. Then I felt like my meridians were restored and my whole body was flowing. I feel more energetic, like I'm flying into the air. ”

Cuicui said in surprise: "Brother Leopard, is this a phenomenon of cultivating internal strength?"

"Yes, yes, it's like practicing internal skills. ”

"Brother Leopard, does this set of shadowless swords hide an extremely excellent set of internal skills?"

"I don't know! Cuicui, you can try. ”

Cuicui stopped talking, and turned to look at the first image of the shadowless sword.

She quietly watched the movements of the sword moves, allowing the real qi in her body to move with the movements of the sword moves.

Unsurprisingly, this is very different from the situation when she rushed to complete the recruitment at first sight.

True Qi flowed slowly within her.

Cuicui was even more surprised: "Brother Leopard! Your master's set of shadowless sword methods is indeed an excellent set of internal skills. Don't worry about how to attack and defend against enemies or any other variations, just let the true spirit of your body flow naturally. ”

"Cuicui, do you also practice the Shadowless Sword?"

"Okay!" Cui Cui said, "Then I'll start practicing tomorrow, and now you have to wear a python skin vest." ”

Leopard was a little surprised: "Have you already done it?"

"It's done! It's a real coat, invulnerable!"

"You try?"

"Do I dare to say that, not even my Blue Rainbow Sword can cut in!"

The leopard looked at the vest in Cuicui's hand, like a soft silk satin, black and shiny, and thought: Can it really block Cuicui's sword?

Then ordinary weapons are not afraid!

He said curiously, "Cuicui, I want to give it a try." ”

"Try it. ”

Cuicui handed the sword to the leopard and laid the python's skin and paw cover on a rock.

The leopard swung his sword, and with a "dang long" sound, sparks burst out, and the blade cut the cover on the foot and also cut on the rock.

Even with a normal weapon, he is capable of smashing or smashing rocks.

But if he cuts it down with his sword, he will be numb by the internal strength!

The rocks are protected by python skin, which makes them very strong.

The skin of the python was not broken, and the stone was not broken.

The leopard came out with his sword and cut it down on the rocky ground, and with a "whoosh", as if cutting the dirt, cut it off - put the rock, directly against the wall, with a loud "bang", and the stone was scattered in rubble.

Cuicui was taken aback: "Do you want to die?

The leopard said, "Cuicui, it's really invulnerable!"

"Then why do you have to cut another stone?"

"Because I want to know if the stone is invulnerable, or if it's an animal skin. ”

"Have you tried? If the rock is invulnerable, can the python hide often?"

Leopard also thought about it and smiled: "Cuicui, don't be angry, I didn't expect this." Sorry to scare you. ”

"You don't know what you're thinking, but now you're going to put on a vest for me. ”

"Can you put it on now?"

"When do you want to wear it?"

"At least we can't wear it until we practice swordsmanship and walk around the rivers and lakes. ”

"No! put it on now!"

"Why?

"Nothing to be afraid of, just in case. What will Master do if he enters our leopard's labyrinth and plots against us?"

"Cuicui, you're too careful!"

"It's better to be careful than to regret! From now on, whether we sleep, eat, or walk, we will wear clothes and make it a habit. We're going out tonight. ”

"What are we going out for?"

"You don't really know what to do. How many days have we not eaten? Have we eaten all the meat?"

"I didn't notice!"

"We're done with rice! I'm going out to buy some oil and salt and rice tonight! Are you going?"

"Go, go! I didn't say no!"

"Go! You have to wear a vest. Once you put it on, you can't take it off again. ”

The leopard was stunned: "Do you also wear it for bathing?"

"I won't tell you! After taking a shower, can't you put it back on?"

"I thought I was going to take a shower in a vest!"

"My good young master, put it on quickly!"

"Okay! I'll put it on right away. ”

The leopard took off his coat and put a python skin vest over his underwear, which was tied to the flesh.

The vest was so beautifully sewn, smooth and soft, like a silk vest, with two small pockets for gold and silver, and a blouse for gold and silver, and good foot gloves!

Cuicui asked him, "Okay?"

"Good, good, great! Cuicui, you've worked so hard!"

"Brother Leopard, I'm not hard, you and I will be on clothes in the future, don't lose it!"

"Cuicui, we even wear it for sleep, how can we lose it?"

Cuicui wanted to say it again, but once she felt that this was not good, she turned around and said: "Brother Leopard, this hand is protected, the feet are covered, and you must wear it when you go out." ”

"Yes, I will! Why are you wearing only a pair of foot covers?"

"The rest of the python skin can only be made into a pair of foot covers. No more!"

"Cuicui, since you wear it, I don't need it. ”

"Brother Leopard—"

"Cuicui, you don't have to say it! I can stand the beating, I don't need a brace for my feet, but you're risking a fight, and if you don't put it on, I don't need a vest. ”

Leopard said he wanted to take off his waistcoat.

"Okay! you don't take it off when I'm wearing a vest!"

"If you put it on, I won't take it off!"

"Aren't you threatening me?"

"Cuicui, I'm worried about you!"

You practice phantom magic, and you often run through the thorns in the hanging rocks and trees, and if you have a foot shield to protect you, it is not easy to cut through the rocks and thorns.

"How do you know I will?"

"Cuicui, I've seen you practice. Once, you scratched not only your trouser legs, but also your flesh. Wouldn't it be better for you to practice with python skin?"

"It's okay! I can't beat you. ”

Although Cuicui said this, she felt infinitely relieved in her heart, it seems that Brother Leopard has always cared about himself, and it is this sword, and it is also a sword he snatched from Chuanzhong to defend himself.

If he didn't have me in his heart, would he still care so much about me?

That night, they had a small barbecue, fed the leopards, put on python skin vests, put on protective gear, and Cuicui even put on foot covers.

This protective cover protects the calf, a bit like a bandage, but it is not a strap, it is a piece of cloth tied to the calf, this python skin is very elastic, so it will not fall off.

Dressed in green clothes, put on the outside clothes so that people can't see them, and she carries a knife and a gun to avoid python skin.

She asked, "Brother Leopard, where can we buy rice and pasta, and go to Wangjiaqiao Town?"

"Cuicui, don't go to Wangjiayao, I'm afraid I'll run into that Persian merchant again.

I couldn't help myself. ”

"Why, I was about to ask him if he instigated this thief to come to us, and besides, I don't want to bring the python and the pearl out this time, so why is he pestering us?"

"Where are you really going?"

"Are you afraid of him?"

"Why am I afraid of him?"

"Don't be afraid to go! If you don't go to the small town of Wangjiaqiao, where will you go? To the town near Baishi Castle? Aren't you worried that the people in the town will be more attached to you?"

Although the leopard has always grown on this remote mountain, he does not know what small towns are in the middle of nowhere.

He had never been anywhere except for Wangjiaqiao Town with his master.

If we don't go to Wangjiaqiao, where will we go?

It's even worse to go to the town close to White Rock Castle, as Cuicui said, the townspeople feel their elegance and will definitely hold on to themselves.

Even if they buy rice, they won't take their silver, which is even more troublesome.

If it's convenient during the day, you can stand on top of the hill and see what towns are nearby.

But in the dark of night, it is not clear to see.

Although you can see clearly in the dark, it won't be too far after all!

Leopard thought for a while and said, "Cuicui, let's go to Wangjiaqiao." ”

Cuicui said happily: "That's right!"

"Cuicui, you can't do anything more! ”

"Oh, don't worry, how can I be in trouble, as long as you don't mess around, everything is fine. ”

"What am I doing?"

"It's hard to say. I remember when we were in Sichuan, you guys had a fight!"

"This,"

"Am I right to say that?"

Almost all the trouble is caused by you.

Dali, what are you Jinyi guarding Pan Sanye, as a result, you want me and Sister Qing to rescue you from the barracks!"

The leopard was a little confused: "Yes, why are you bothering me so much?"

Cuicui "poofed" and smiled: "It's nothing, because you're going to mess with bad people in your life." ”

"My life?"

"Yes, one is your kindness, the second is your righteousness, and the third is that you are too honest. ”

"Isn't that bad?"

"Alright, alright, you're destined to be a badass!"

"It's not a matter of life and death; Unless we allow ourselves to be bullied, or ignore life and death. ”

"That's not going to work!"

"No, there will be trouble. ”

The leopard didn't know what to say for a while.

Cuicui said, "My young master, let's go!"

The leopard quietly followed Cuicui out of the Leopard Valley.

This time they took the familiar road, so they arrived at the small town of Wangjiaqiao before dawn.

The town is still pitch black, and if shops and restaurants don't open when they enter the town, the night watchman will be suspicious.

They had to sit down and rest on the leeward side of the mountain until dawn.

Soon both families in the town were set on fire.

The restaurant and a family selling cakes set up to cook porridge and make cakes.

It was very windy and cold, and Cuicui felt strange that she didn't feel cold.

Is the weather hot or warming?

The weather can't get warmer anymore.

It was already late winter and November, and as we left the valley, it seemed to be raining and snowing.

She asked Leopard, "Are you cold?"

Because of its thick body, the leopard does not feel cold even when wearing a coat.

He replied, "No, Cuicui, do you feel cold?" and I will take off a coat for you. ”

"Strange! I'm not cold. ”

"It must be hot!"

"That's not right, if you say it's hot, you shouldn't be able to sweat, I can't sweat! Brother Leopard, is it python skin?"

"What's wrong with pythonskin?"

Maybe the python skin vest is really a treasure like no other, not only invincible, but also cold! Is it a warm winter and cool summer clothes as the legend says?"

"No?"

"Then why don't I feel cold?"

"If that's the case, we'll be able to do without padded jackets and leather jackets in the future!

"Shall we go into the city and buy cotton jackets and pants?"

"How do you know when the north wind blows when the snow is blowing, it won't keep warm!"

As they spoke, the sky grew brighter, but the road was obscured by a thick fog, and everything near and far was shrouded in a mist, even the lights I had just seen were gone!

Leopard stood up: "Cuicui, we can go down the mountain and enter the town!"

"Okay! It looks foggy. I'm afraid it's going to snow heavily. After shopping, we hurried back. ”

"How do you know it's going to snow?"

"Brother Leopard, haven't you heard of spring fog, autumn fog and rain, summer fog and wind, winter fog and snow? It's winter. Why can't we get more snow?"

"What time is it?"

Leopards are afraid that the snow will close the mountains and roads, so the road will be difficult to walk.

"Not today, but tomorrow or the day after tomorrow. ”

"Then let's go!"

When they came to town, some of the shops were not open and the streets were not crowded, but the restaurants and eateries were still open, and there were a lot of people sitting there, all from the town.

Some are ready to go hunting in the mountains, drink in hotels, and buy a bottle of wine in the mountains to keep out the cold;

Some are businessmen who run errands, talk about business, or are preparing to go abroad.

Leopard passed by the door of the hotel and asked Cuicui, "Let's go in and drink two bowls of wine and eat something, okay?"

Cuicui smiled: "You little drunkard, it's strange if you don't go in and drink." But you can't drink too much. ”

"How can I drink too much!"

They walked into the hotel and sat down at a quiet table.

Xiao Er hurried over to entertain them.

Cuicui raised her eyebrows and asked, "Are you eating in the store?"

"Rice?"

"Miss, now is not the time for rice to hit the market!"

"What do you have to eat?"

"Yes, there are buns, steamed buns, flour, noodles. ”

"Then you will give us two or three steamed buns, steamed buns!"

"Don't you eat or drink?"

The leopard said, "Why don't we drink it?" ”

Xiao Er blinked again: "Want two catties?"

Indeed, when other guests come here to drink, they are all a few catties and a few taels, at most only half a catty, how can there be - called two catties?

Xiao Er thought he had misunderstood, so he asked again.

Cuicui asked, "Do you think we don't have any money to give?"

Cuicui immediately took out three or four taels of silver from her arms, "Is this enough to pay for two catties of wine and food?"

The second head was even more stupid, thinking: It turned out to be a disaster for the two little gods of wealth, don't offend.

He immediately put up his back and said with a grin: "Miss, the villain didn't mean that, he was worried that the young master and the young lady couldn't drink!"

Cuicui said: "Will we take it away when we are drunk?"

"It's! It's! The little man shouldn't talk too much! The little man went to prepare for the young lady. ”

Xiao Er left after speaking.

In this way, it is impossible for Leopard and Cuicui not to attract attention!

The guests drank and chatted, looking at them almost in unison, all with a look of surprise in their eyes.

They are strangers, not people who live nearby;

secondly, they generously gave three or four pieces of silver;

Thirdly, their attire was more striking, because the people in the hotel were wearing thick cotton jackets, or fur coats, or waistcoats, while they were also dressed in autumn clothes, without hats, but with ruddy faces.

People can't help but say in private: This pair of well-dressed children don't know where the children of rich families are, why did they come to Wangjiayao Town?
