Granny Sun looked at Mu Sheng vigilantly, ready to take action at any time, while carefully checking Xiaolongnu's condition.

He finally breathed a sigh of relief after finding out that Xiaolongnu was not seriously injured.

"Who are you? How did my girl become like this?"

Granny Sun did not rashly attack Mu Sheng. Xiaolongnu was now injured and unconscious. If this was really the man who did it, then she would definitely not be his opponent.

If you rashly provoke the other party, Xiaolongnu will be in greater danger.

If it wasn't caused by the other party, it would be even more inappropriate to act rashly. The most urgent priority is to protect Xiaolongnu's safety.

"Ahem, this is a long story. Let's wait until Miss Long wakes up, and then I'll explain the whole story to you two."

Mu Sheng coughed a few times to cover up his embarrassment.

"Miss Long has gone into a trance because of the loss of control of her internal energy. She won't be able to wake up for a while. Why don't you take her to change into clean clothes first?"

After Mu Sheng's treatment, Xiaolongnu's injuries are no longer serious, but it will take another day or two to fully recover.

Sleeping a little longer would be good for her injuries, so Mu Sheng didn't wake her up.

After hearing Mu Sheng's words, Granny Sun also looked at the blood on Xiaolongnu's chest. She felt a little distressed and felt that she needed to change Xiaolongnu's clothes, but she was also a little worried about the person in front of her.

Seeing this, Mu Sheng opened his arms and took a few steps back to show that he had no ill intentions.

Granny Sun hesitated for a moment, but still picked up Xiao Longnu and walked carefully out of the secret room, while keeping an eye on Mu Sheng out of the corner of her eye.

It was not until Granny Sun carried Xiao Longnu out of the secret room for a distance that Mu Sheng followed her out of the secret room.

After leaving the secret room, Granny Sun's pace suddenly quickened. She held Xiaolongnu in her arms and quickly walked through the complex forks in the ancient tomb, turning left and right, not wanting to be followed by Mu Sheng.

Although the other party had not shown any obvious hostility since she appeared and had also given in everywhere, her girl's current situation was definitely related to the other party, and Granny Sun had never let down her guard.

After realizing Granny Sun's intention, Mu Sheng did not force himself to follow her.

He then wandered around in the ancient tomb, memorizing its complex terrain as he walked.

After wandering around, he arrived at the gate of the ancient tomb, twisted the mechanism on the wall to open the gate, and then walked out.

Outside the ancient tomb is a dense forest, which is quite a distance away from the Quanzhen Sect.

After leaving the ancient tomb, Mu Sheng whistled a strange melody towards the sky. This was the secret signal between him and Xiao Hei.

Long before he sneaked into the secret passage of the pool, he had already released Xiao Hei near the ancient tomb.

After all, it was impossible for him to bring Xiao Hei into the secret passage through the pool.

Fortunately, Xiao Hei is originally a wild crow and can find food on his own.

After a cup of tea, there was still no sign of Xiao Hei, so Mu Sheng whistled towards the sky again.

In this way, Mu Sheng would whistle at the sky every once in a while and wander around in the woods.

After walking for a while, he heard a buzzing sound. It turned out that he had unknowingly come to the place where Xiaolongnu raised jade bees.

I saw more than a dozen beehives hanging straight on the branches of several large trees. The beehives were very large, each one was two feet in size.

A group of bees with crystal clear wings are working in and out of the hive.

As if sensing the presence of a stranger, a small group of jade bees quickly flew towards Mu Sheng, their abdomens trembling slightly, as if they were about to sting him the next moment.

Seeing that the swarm of jade bees had flown within ten feet of him, Mu Sheng was not at all panicked, as he was best at dealing with these little creatures.

I saw his brows slightly wrinkled, and the mental power in his mind spread along his brows to around his body.

The next second, the group of jade bees seemed to have received some information, turned around and flew towards the hive again.

After flying a certain distance away from Mu Sheng, the group of jade bees seemed to sense a strange breath again, turned around and flew towards Mu Sheng again.

When it was within ten feet of his body, it suddenly turned around and flew towards the beehive.

After going back and forth like this for several times and almost confusing the little guys, Mu Sheng finally ended this little game.

Jade Bee Swarm:
After forcibly controlling a jade bee to land on the palm of his hand, Mu Sheng played with the jade bee carefully and turned back towards the main gate of the Ancient Tomb Sect.

When he returned to the ancient tomb, Xiao Hei was still nowhere to be seen. Mu Sheng guessed that Xiao Hei might have gone out to look for food and didn't hear his whistle.

Or maybe it ran away after being let loose for a long time. After all, he had only tamed Xiao Hei for a few days and had let it roam free most of the time.

Even if it really ran away, Mu Sheng didn't care. He could just catch another one. Anyway, Xiao Hei was never a fixed crow.

Glancing around, Mu Sheng moved a flat stone, patted the soil with his hands, and sat on it cross-legged.

When he was sitting cross-legged, he saw the blood on his crotch and couldn't help but frown: "Why does it look like he castrated himself?"

"Forget it, never mind, let's talk about it later."

He opened his palm and saw a jade peak the size of a fingernail crawling around in his hand.

Mu Sheng controlled the little guy to sting his palm. Soon, an itchy and severe pain came from his palm and began to spread to other parts of the body.

"Such a strong poison, no wonder it stung so many martial arts masters to death."

Fortunately, Mu Sheng's physical condition has improved a lot now, and his resistance to toxins has also increased a lot, coupled with the effect of his refined healing skills.

The effect of the jade bee venom gradually weakened, and after a cup of tea, the pain and itching were almost the same as those from a highly venomous mosquito bite.

After a while, it completely lost its effect.

"Good stuff, we can stock up more." Mu Sheng silently included the jade bee venom in his list of essential supplies for traveling around the world.

It was not until the sun was about to set in the afternoon that Xiaolongnu woke up from her coma.

"Hmm," Xiao Longnu snorted softly, frowning as if she had thought of something bad. Her eyeballs rolled a few times under her eyelids before she slowly opened her eyes.

The first thing that caught my eye was Grandma Sun’s worried and anxious face.

"Girl, you finally woke up. What happened before? Why did you vomit blood and faint? And who is the person in the secret room?"

Xiao Longnu sat up with the help of the bed, feeling somewhat puzzled as she did not feel any pain in her body.

"Am I possessed?"

Xiaolongnu clearly remembered that her internal energy suddenly erupted and ran wild in her body, causing damage to the meridians of her internal organs, and she also vomited blood.

Now, he only felt some discomfort in his internal organs, but this discomfort would heal after a day or two of rest. It did not seem like the injury he had sustained after going possessed.

"My clothes." When checking the injuries, Xiao Longnu also realized that her clothes had been changed. "Girl, I changed your clothes. The previous clothes were soaked with blood. Tell me what happened. How did you end up lying in the secret room of the young lady's coffin with blood all over your body?"

Granny Sun saw that Xiao Long Nu did not respond to her question, so she asked again anxiously: "And who is the man in the secret room? Did he hurt you?"

"A body covered in blood? That shouldn't be my illusion, then why am I fine now?"

Xiao Long Nu looked behind Granny Sun, but didn't see the person in the secret room. "Granny Sun, where is the person in the secret room? And how did I get here? What happened after I became possessed, vomited blood and fainted?"

Seeing Xiao Long Nu asking her questions, Granny Sun was anxious but also a little helpless. This was her daughter's personality. She sighed and answered Xiao Long Nu's doubts:
"Miss, it's like this. At that time, I couldn't wait for you to come to dinner, so I wanted to go find you. After searching for a long time, I finally found you in the secret room where the young lady's coffin was kept."

"You had already..." Granny Sun recounted the incident in detail.

She told Xiaolongnu everything, including how she discovered Xiaolongnu and her conversation with the man in the secret room.

Afterwards, Xiaolongnu told Granny Sun about the strange noises she heard after collecting honey, how she found Mu Sheng after following the noises to the secret room, and how she got injured.

She did not hide the fact that Mu Sheng was hugged with his upper body naked, and the strange reactions of her body. For her, this was not something that could not be discussed.

After listening to Xiaolongnu's story and combining it with what she had seen, Granny Sun couldn't help but fall into deep thought.

Although the theory of dreams is a bit fantastic, there are still people who believe in it even in modern society, not to mention ancient times, when extraordinary powers such as martial arts and internal energy existed.

People who practice martial arts and have direct contact with supernatural powers are more likely to believe these things. Granny Sun couldn't help but believe them a little and started to think about it in her mind.

"If what the girl said is true, the man in the secret room is extremely skilled in martial arts. If he wants to do something, the girl and I will not be able to stop him."

"It seems that this person has no hostility, and the girl's reaction after being hugged by him is really a dream sent by the ancestor."

Granny Sun couldn't help but think more. Although she was not practicing the internal skills of the Ancient Tomb Sect, she had served several generations of people in the Ancient Tomb, and she knew very well what Xiaolongnu's reaction represented.

Outside the ancient tomb, Mu Sheng was sitting on a stone, staring at the afterglow of the setting sun in a daze. At this moment, a black crow appeared on his shoulder.

A faint sound of footsteps came from behind him. Mu Sheng stood up and looked back, and saw Xiaolongnu and Grandma Sun walking out of the ancient tomb one after another.

After discussing for a while, the two decided to find Mu Sheng and ask him in person.

Who knew that after searching around the ancient tomb for a while, he still couldn't find this person. Then he thought that he knew the secret passages and mechanisms of the ancient tomb, so he guessed that he might have come out. Sure enough, he was found here.

"Miss Long, are you awake?" Mu Sheng looked at Xiao Longnu with a smile.

Xiao Longnu looked at Mu Sheng with clear eyes, just like the pool of water under Mount Zhongnan, cold and quiet:

"Did you cure my internal injuries? And you told Granny Sun that you would wait until I woke up before explaining how you got into the ancient tomb."

"It is indeed me who cured your injury, and the method of treatment is related to what I am going to talk about next." Mu Sheng said as he looked up at the sky, his eyes dim as if he was recalling something.

"It's a long story. I remember it was a starless night."

"I followed the light in a trance and came to a forest full of peach blossoms. A man in a Taoist robe and a woman in red walked out of it."

"The man in the Taoist robe said he was Wang Chongyang, the founder of Quanzhen Sect, and the woman in red was Lin Chaoying, the founder of the Ancient Tomb Sect. Back then..."

"I didn't expect that the two would be in the underworld again after death. After experiencing life and death, they let go of their stubbornness, spoke their hearts out to each other and resolved their knots."

"Now that the two of them are about to be reincarnated, Lin Chaoying remembered the teachings she left behind in anger and the drawbacks of the Ancient Tomb School's internal energy training."

"I am worried that my descendants will suffer the same fate as she did when she was alive, but we are separated by the Yin and Yang and cannot easily contact each other."

"For this, the two spent all the merits they had accumulated in their lifetime, and finally gained an opportunity to have someone send them a message in their dreams."

"I don't know how he entrusted this matter to me. Wang Chongyang told me the secret passage of the ancient tomb and taught me the martial arts in the Nine Yin Manual as a reward."

"My secret method of treating your internal injuries comes from the Nine Yin Scriptures." Mu Sheng said as he revealed the secret method of healing and was about to pass it on to the two.

"No, young man. How can you let us know such a profound martial arts secret easily?" Xiaolongnu was still listening to the secret and trying to comprehend it, but Granny Sun hurriedly stopped Mu Sheng's action.

"My name is Mu Sheng, mother-in-law, you can just call me by my name. This secret method is nothing. We will be a family from now on. I will teach all the martial arts of the Nine Yin Scriptures to Long'er later, as a betrothal gift," Mu Sheng waved his hand nonchalantly and continued to tell the story.

When Granny Sun heard this, she stopped trying to stop him. At this point, she had already mostly believed the dream story.

After explaining the secret method, Mu Sheng waited until Xiao Longnu and Granny Sun had digested most of it before continuing:

"There is also that secret passage. I can take you there now. Only Wang Chongyang knows about this secret passage. Even Lin Chaoying doesn't know about its existence."

"It must be the secret room where the coffin is stored." Xiao Longnu instantly thought of where the secret passage might be. This was where she discovered Mu Sheng, and the disciples of the Ancient Tomb Sect would not go there easily.

"Long'er is indeed smart," Mu Sheng praised with a thumbs up.

Xiaolongnu tilted her head to glance at Mu Sheng's gesture, then turned and walked towards the ancient tomb. Mu Sheng hurriedly followed, followed by Granny Sun.

Soon the three of them came to the secret room where the coffin was stored. Mu Sheng first picked up the shirt he had placed there and put it on. It was not good to be naked all the time.

Then he opened the secret passage and took Xiaolongnu and Grandma Sun to a pond after turning left and right.

"Look, this is it. There is a secret passage under this pool that leads directly to the foot of Mount Zhongnan. Do you want to swim out and take a look?" Mu Sheng asked, standing where he came ashore.

"No need, let's go back."

Xiao Longnu shook her head. The mechanisms and secret passages ahead had already proven that Mu Sheng was not lying, so there was no need to verify it further.

With that, Xiao Longnu started to walk back. She had an excellent memory, and after Mu Sheng took her through it once, she had already memorized the map of the secret passage.

After a while, the three of them returned to the secret room.

Xiao Longnu quickly accepted the idea of a dream. Although Granny Sun still found it a little unbelievable, she couldn't think of any other explanation except this one.

As for the idea that the Grandmaster wanted to marry Xiao Long Nu to Mu Sheng, Granny Sun hoped that the two could spend some time together first.

Mu Sheng had no objection to this. After all, the two of them suddenly heard the news and it would take some time for them to digest it.

He just suddenly came into contact with the fantasy world of dreams. Oh, he made it up, so that's fine.

A month later, Mu Sheng had completely integrated into the Ancient Tomb Sect.

That day, Mu Sheng walked in from outside the ancient tomb carrying a basket. He came to the outside of a stone chamber and walked straight in as if he was familiar with the place.

Xiao Longnu was sitting cross-legged on the cold jade bed practicing internal energy. When she noticed Mu Sheng coming in, she slowly stopped practicing and opened her eyes.

"Look, what did I bring you?" Mu Sheng raised the basket in his hand and shook it.

"Awoo~Woo~Woo", the sound of the animal cubs came out of the basket as Mu Sheng shook them.
