Chapter 158: Companionship (4)

"It's me".

"Why aren't you afraid?"

"Because I have jade black pearl pills on my body, taking them can detoxify. ”

"What if the leopards come with us?"

"I'll feed it one too!"

"Will it accept it?"

"I feed the rabbit a pill first, and then I give it to eat. ”

If you're afraid that I'll see your master's sword book and steal his swordsmanship, I won't go. ”

"Cuicui, why do you say that!"

"Then let me go with you!"

The leopard had no choice but to obey Cuicui.

And Cuicui is smarter than herself, and it is much better to find it by two people than to find it by yourself.

Leopard didn't expect that she would be afraid that Cuicui would see her master's sword book and be found out by someone, and she would be able to find Cuicui to learn, but she didn't expect that she would be afraid that Cuicui would steal it.

He was just worried about Cuicui's safety.

Now that Cuicui has the Jade Black Pearl Pill, there is no need to worry.

Jade Black Pearl Dan's ability, he knows.

The next day, Leopard and Cuicui took the leopard to Deep Creek.

Every year at the turn of spring and summer, a mist fills the mountain streams, killing some hunters who go up to the mountains to hunt.

This is also the reason why no one dares to live within a few miles of the ancient temple.

This canyon is five miles northwest of the ancient temple and climbs over a steep mountain.

But in this deep stream, there are all kinds of rare and precious medicinal herbs, almost all of which grow on the cliffs.

Some have grown for a few years, some have grown for decades, and they are unknown, they are known, and it is difficult to pick up without good light work.

Fang Wu lived in the temple because he saw the precious medicinal herbs in the deep stream, and no one dared to live there.

Some people say that where there is a toxic miasma, there is often a plant nearby that can decompose the toxic miasma.

Zen master Fang Wu is not only a first-class martial artist, but also a medical expert.

He is good at recognizing and detoxifying.

He came to this canyon two or three times with a heavy air, and soon found the antidote to the poisonous miasma.

Zen master Fang Wu accidentally discovered a magical cave in an inconspicuous place in a creek.

He also found that the water flowing from the gap under the rock flowed into a stream, which passed through the rock and flowed out of the hole.

The cave was small at first, but had a narrow passage with a circumference of about 10 feet.

Then there is another passage that leads to a small opening in the cliff.

The small mouth of the cave is covered with hanging stones and faces a deep stream.

Exactly, this is not the opening of the cave, but the window of this strange cave.

Sometimes he stayed for two or three months before he came out.

Finally, he closed the passage that led to the depths of the cave.

Even later, some people ventured into the deep stream and discovered the cave, but they didn't know that there was a bigger cave inside.

When Zen master Fang Wu took the leopard back to the temple to raise him, he not only washed the leopard with water, but also opened up the leopard's bones and muscles.

He also made him take the medicine.

By the time the leopard was seven or eight years old, he was no longer afraid of the fog in the deep stream, and could walk freely back and forth in the stream.

Of course, this anti-poison ability in the leopard can only resist, but it does not protect rivers and lakes from all kinds of artificial poisons: arrows, arrows and some poisons.

Especially the poisons of a single family in martial arts, such as the poisons of the Tao family in Sichuan and the Jiulongmen family in Guizhou, the leopard cannot resist.

They can only reduce toxicity or slowly dissolve it.

But it is safe to say that even without an antidote, the leopard will not die of poisoning or disability, but will be immobile or unconscious for a short time.

When stepping into the ditch, the leopard seemed to have an instinctive premonition that it knew that there was danger in the ditch and did not want to go in, so it took the leopard and Cuicui and did not let them in.

The leopard was surprised and said to Cuicui, "You see, the leopard also knows that this deep stream is not allowed to enter. ”

Cuicui stroked the leopard and said, "Don't be afraid, you have already taken a black pearl, and you will not be poisoned." ”

The leopard is a beast, different people, do not know what antidote they take, but still do not want to enter the creek.

The leopard said, "Cuicui, even it doesn't want to go in! ”

Cuicui had no choice but to say, "Brother Leopard, then you are playing around here and waiting for us?"

There seemed to be a pleading look in the leopard's eyes, hoping that the leopard and Cuicui would not leave him or go in.

The leopard saw it and patted the leopard: "Brother leopard, don't worry, we're fine, you play here, we'll come out to find you." ”

The leopard took Cuicui into the cave and walked a few steps.

He looked back and saw that the leopard was still crouching outside the hole, and its eyes seemed to be full of worry and unease.

Cuicui raised her hand at it and said, "Brother Leopard, we can be fine, you go play!"

When they had walked a few steps, there was a "whew", the breeze calmed down, and the leopard ran in, and Cuicui said in surprise, "Why did you come in too?"

The leopard seemed to understand the leopard's movements better, stroked the fur on the leopard's head and said, "Brother leopard, I know you don't want to leave us." You want to live and die with us. ”

Cuicui put her arms around the leopard's neck and said affectionately: "Brother Leopard, in the future, the three of us will live and die together, and we will never be separated." ”

The leopard said, "Let's go!"

It is the end of autumn and the beginning of winter, with fresh and dry air.

At the foot of the cliff, the leopard soon discovers a hidden cave in a strange group of rocks.

You can't go straight in, you have to bend down.

Once a person enters, he can stand up.

Cuicui looked at the cave with a sly look.

This cave is smaller than the one in the valley.

Surrounded by smooth rocks, she could see through them at a glance.

Cuicui's heart is already half cold, obviously the sword spectrum is not here.

She asked Leopard, "Is this the cave you often come to play?"

"Yes! Sometimes my master comes here to sit down. ”

"What is there to sit in this grotto?"

"Master often comes to this deep stream to get medicine, and when he is tired, he rests in this cave. ”

"Isn't your master afraid of miasma?"

"The advantage of the cave is that if you light a bonfire at the entrance of the cave, not only can you drive away the miasma of poison, but even some poisons dare not climb into the cave. Cuicui, let's make a fire at the door, just in case. ”

"How long do you want to stay in this hole?"

"Aren't we looking for a sword book? There's no time limit. ”

"This hole is so big!"

"How long will it take?"

"Alright, let's go find it!"

Then they looked around and went over the top of the rock, but there seemed to be nothing there.

They knocked a few times on the back of the rock and couldn't find anything, but they found that on the left and right sides of the hole, someone carved an irregular pattern.

Cuicui asked Leopard, "Is this what you carved?"

"No!"

"When you came to play, did you have this pattern on the wall?"

"Yes. ”

"Was it carved by your master?"

"I don't know. ”

"Ah, why don't you know? Didn't your master tell you?"

"Nope. ”

"Didn't you ask him?"

"Nope. ”

"Oh, why don't you ask!"

"Is that easy to ask?"

"If it weren't for your master who made this pattern, someone must have come to this hole!"

"Who dares to come here?"

"If you and your master can come, why can't anyone else?"

"Aren't they afraid of poisoning?"

"You and your master are not afraid, there will be others. ”

The leopard was silent.

Cuicui said: "So we have to make it clear whether this pattern was carved by your master or by someone else." ”

"What if I find out?"

"Look what this means. ”

"What's the point of such a painting?"

"Why not, aren't you bored to come to this cave and do something like this?"

The leopard thought, "What does this pattern mean?"

But Cuicui's words were not unreasonable, and he couldn't help but look at the pattern.

Yes, the leopard suddenly said, "This pattern was left by my master!"

Cuicui said, "Oh, what did your master do?"

"The finger power of this pattern is the same as that left by my master on a rock next to the ancient temple. ”

"Do you know it?"

"There's nothing wrong with that. ”

"Then your master must have deliberately left this pattern, perhaps to let him know that the sword book is hidden in this cave, or somewhere near the cave. Brother Leopard. Take a closer look. Is there anything in this pattern that you have seen before, or that resembles it?"

The leopard looked at it for a long time and shook his head: "I can't see it." ”

Cuicui said, "I saw it!"

The leopard was surprised: "Did you see it?"

"This pattern is the pattern of that hole. ”

"Yes, yes, that's right. What does Master mean by carving this pattern on the wall?"

"Brother Leopard, have you noticed? This painting has a particularly thin and shallow incision, not as thick and deep as the other paintings. ”

"Maybe the master doesn't have the strength to engrave here!"

"Your master, his old man's skills are so deep, how can he not have strength?"

"Cuicui, you mean-"

"I mean, there must be a purpose. That shallow line is northwest of the cave. Brother Leopard, let's take a look at the difference between the Northwest Great Wall. ”

The leopard looked at the rock wall to the northwest and said, "It doesn't seem to make a difference." ”

"If there is no difference, let's look out of the grotto in the northwest! Brother Leopard! You'd better push the wall with your palm. ”

"Good!"

The leopard put his palm on the stone on the northwest wall, secretly lucked the true spirit, and pushed hard, as if he shook it a few times.

Cuicui said, "Brother Leopard, I'm afraid this wall is a little strange. Don't do that!"

"Cuicui, you take the leopard out of the hole, just in case. ”

"What accident?"

"I'm afraid that if I push the hole, the hole will fall. ”

"Be careful, then!"

"Don't worry, if it falls, I'll jump out. ”

Cuicui took the leopard out of the hole.

Suddenly, a "bang" was heard, and the gravel with sand in the cave rushed out, and the mouth of the cave did not fall.

Cuicui rushed into the cave and saw that the leopard was standing there like a wooden chicken, and in front of him, a small black hole was exposed.

Seeing the surprise, Cuicui asked anxiously, "Brother Leopard, how are you?"

"I- I didn't do anything. ”

"Aren't you hurting?"

"No!"

"Then why are you standing still? Aren't you afraid of scaring me? I thought you were hurt!"

"Cuicui, I'm amazed at how hard the stone wall is, it falls down, revealing such a hole. ”

"Your master must have put his sword book here! Let's go in and have a look. ”

The leopard looked at the black hole and found that the hole seemed unfathomable.

"Cuicui," he said, "this hole is too deep, and we'd better light a candle to get in." I can still see, and you can't see anything. ”

Cuicui couldn't help but look at the black hole, and a cool breeze blew out of the hole, it really seemed to be very deep, and she couldn't see anything clearly, and said, "That's right! I'll go outside and cut some pine branches, and you can move the stones." ”

With that, Cuicui came out.

The leopard is clearing the stones from the burrow.

The cave was apparently sealed with a huge block of stone during the Master's lifetime, which was then cemented with lime and clay.

Over time, it is difficult to distinguish it from the original wall.

With such a thick stone wall, ordinary people can't push it at all, but in the leopard's internal force, it fell down with one blow.

The leopard had just moved the stone away when she suddenly heard a scream from Cuicui outside, followed by the roar of the mountain as the leopard swayed.

The leopard was startled, sensitively surprised, jumped out of the cave like an arrow,—— and looked, only to see Cuicui and a python fighting, the leopard was also going to kill the python, and swept the tail for the python.

The python was the size of a bucket of water.

It is more than twenty feet long.

It wants to bite Cuicui.

The leopard was startled.

This is indeed a rare python, which he has not seen in the mountains for many years.

The leopard didn't even have time to think about it, and when the aura leopard flew over, he raised his sword and stabbed the python's head, saying, "Cuicui, get out of the way, don't let it entangle you." ”

The python was unexpectedly agile, flashing its head, dodging the leopard's sword, and turning its head to devour the leopard.

The leopard also whipped, and with a move of the sword that the ink dragon looked backwards, it slashed directly at the head of the giant python, and with a "dang" sound, it shone brightly, thinking that the giant python was as strong as a stone with scales.

The leopard's sword can't hurt it, but it can't hurt it.

Enraged by the blow, the python began to roll, causing the stones to fly, the trees to shake, and the dust and gravel to fly.

Leopards, Cuicui and leopards are far ahead of them.

But the giant python rushed towards the leopard, and Cuicui wanted to jump out and kill again, but the leopard said, "Cuicui, you take the leopard brother and go quickly, I will deal with this beast." ”

Cuicui said, "Your sword can't hurt it." ”

"Then give me your Blue Rainbow Sword. ”

The leopard took the sword from Cuicui's hand, waved Cuicui to retreat, and ran straight towards a python like a meteor.

The golden dragon danced the pillar and hit the python's body.

The leopard's sword has shaken out ten percent of its strength, and this sword is also a sword that breaks gold and cut jade, and this sword is a thick steel plate that can also pierce under the use of the leopard's true qi.

The python's scales were thick again, and the sword was inserted straight into the python's body, and the scarlet blood splashed for a long time.

But the leopard's sword did not pierce the python's vital point.

The python turned its head, it was as fast as lightning, and it bit the leopard.

The agile spirit of the leopard is like a leopard running wide, and then rushing towards it like a streamer, and a red dragon chasing the moon swordsmanship stabbed and hit the giant python with a sword.

The leopard went back and forth several times, covering the python's whole body with sword wounds, and the snake's blood stained the stream of the mountain stream red.

The giant python seems to have a particularly strong vitality, although it has been stabbed seven or eight times on its body, its power is still undiminished, tumbling and rolling, and the stone flying tree is broken.

The leopard nailed the python to the trunk of a large basin with a final punch, and smashed the python's head with another punch.

The snake's head was broken, but its huge body was still so strong that it tore the tree to pieces.

With a loud bang, the tree broke and fell, and the sky was covered with dust, gravel, and broken branches.

After drawing his sword and fighting the python, the leopard sat by the river, almost limp and panting.

Cuicui and the leopard ran over.

The leopard licks the snake's blood with its tongue.

Cuicui saw that the leopard was covered in blood, and after being stunned, she asked carefully: "Brother leopard, don't you hurt?"

The leopard shook his head: "I'm fine, just rest on it." ”

Cuicui was still not at ease, so she checked the leopard's body and asked, "Is your leg bone injured or broken?"

"No injuries!"

"Then why can't you get up?"

"Cuicui, I'm really not hurt, I'm just tired, sit down and rest. ”

When Cuicui saw him again, she was really not injured, but she was relieved: "It's good that you are not injured! What a terrible python! If it hadn't been for the leopard pounced on it, I would have been entangled by it." Brother Leopard, why don't you know that there is a big python in this deep river?"

"Cuicui, I didn't have this big python here before, and I haven't heard of it from Master. The python came out of nowhere and fell into the canyon. Cuicui, now that we've finally killed the python, we're back in the cave to find Master's sword book. ”

Cuicui glanced at the python, and suddenly said in surprise: "Brother Leopard, look, there seems to be something glowing on the python's head." ”

The leopard couldn't help but look at the broken python head, which was shining: "Huh! What is it that glows?"

"Brother Leopard, let me see. ”

As they approached, they saw a round white bead of light on the python's head, and the light was coming from it.

Cuicui was surprised: "Isn't it a glowing pearl?"

The leopard reached out and dug out the strange python bead from the cracked python's head, it was dazzling, crystal lovely, and said, "Strange, how can there be such a bead on the head of the python?"

"Brother Leopard, I heard that for thousands of years, every python has had a magic bead on its head, which is used to ward off evil spirits. ”

"Is that so? Cuicui, I'll give you this bead. “

"Brother Leopard, you killed this python!"

"No! you've collected it, I'm afraid I'll lose it by accident!"

"Okay, I'll keep it for you. ”

"Cuicui, how do we divide you and I'm here? Isn't yours mine? Isn't it mine?"

Cuicui was happy, she was not happy that Bao'er gave herself such a precious pearl, but happy that Leopard said "What's yours is mine, mine is yours", as if to say that Cuicui is his person, he is Cuicui's person.

She wasn't worried that the leopard would leave her.

In fact, this leopard gave almost all the good things to himself.

The blue and red sword was snatched from the leopard from his hands, and now this priceless python bead has also been given to himself.

In fact, what they killed was not an ordinary python, but a thousand-year-old cuirass python that had almost disappeared from the world.

If you peel off the skin of the python, make it into clothes, and wear it on your body, you will be invulnerable.

As for that rare python bead, it is a rare treasure called a luminous bead.

With it, not only can all poisonous gases be avoided, but among other huge poisons, it can also be dissolved.

Unfortunately, they found out later.

At this time, the leopard bit the flesh of the snake.

But the skin of a python is like a stone, and a leopard, although it has fangs and claws, cannot tear it apart.

When Cuicui saw it, she asked Leopard, "Brother Leopard, are you hungry now?" Look, Brother Leopard is hungry. Why don't we roast some pythons to eat?"

The leopard had just used all his strength to fight the python and had lost a lot of strength.

Although he was lucky enough to have woken up from his dream and was a little hungry, he said, "Okay! When we are full, we will go and look for Master's sword book." ”
