Chapter 143 Dual Cultivation (Two in one, please subscribe and vote!)

Hearing the cry, Xiaolongnu's eyes lit up and she turned over from the cold jade bed.

He took two steps forward to Mu Sheng and looked at the basket in his hand.

The basket was covered with a piece of burlap, the surface of the cloth was slightly bulging, and one could clearly feel something moving underneath the cloth.

Xiaolongnu gently lifted the linen cloth, and a small, shiny and moist flesh ball appeared in front of her.

"Little black dog?"

Xiaolongnu reached out and touched the small ball of flesh in front of her. A warm, soft and smooth feeling came from the palm of her hand, and the corners of Xiaolongnu's eyes curved involuntarily.

Feeling the cool warmth from Xiaolongnu's palm, the little meat ball in the basket raised its little head and nudged Xiaolongnu's hand, then moved closer to sniff.

In order to improve their sense of smell and filter out impurities and viruses in the air, dogs' noses are kept moist all year round.

As the little meat ball sniffed around, the tip of its nose inevitably touched Xiaolongnu's hand.

"Hehehe", the wet and itchy feeling from the palm of her hand made Xiaolongnu laugh out loud uncontrollably.

"Ah, it's licking me, haha", Xiaolongnu laughed even more happily, and while laughing she reached out and took the little black dog out of the basket.

He held it carefully in his arms and lowered his head to tease the little guy.

The innocent and cheerful laughter is like the morning dewdrops falling on the leaves, or like the trickling stream flowing in the mountain stream.

Looking at this scene, Mu Sheng couldn't help but laugh.

Ever since he told Xiaolongnu all the martial arts from the Nine Yin Scriptures and the secrets of practicing the Jade Girl Heart Sutra, not only has Granny Sun looked at him with more and more kindness.

After Xiaolongnu learned the secret of the Jade Girl Heart Sutra, she no longer suppressed her emotions, as if a fairy carved out of ice jade suddenly came to life.

Compared to his previous look of being aloof and indifferent to everything, Mu Sheng still prefers the present. No, he likes both looks.

Hey!
"Brother Sheng, what are you laughing at?"

The giggles of a weasel, as if it had successfully stolen a chicken, brought Xiaolongnu back to her senses from the joy of having a pet.

Looking at Mu Sheng, I was a little curious about what he was laughing at.

"Cough cough!" Mu Sheng coughed a few times tactically.

"Nothing. Seeing you so happy makes me happy too. I can't help but smile."

"Is that so?" Xiao Longnu blinked her clear eyes and looked at the stranger.

Then why did that laughter just now seem a little vulgar?

"That's it, don't dwell on it."

Mu Sheng brushed off the topic and reached out to touch the little black dog: "How is it? Do you like it?"

"I like it. Thank you, Brother Sheng!" Xiao Longnv smiled sweetly: "Does it have a name?"

"How can something sold at the market have a name? You can give it one." Mu Sheng said as he touched it.

"Okay, let me think about it."

Xiao Longnu looked at the little black dog in her arms, lowered her head and began to think, Mu Sheng was there to help her with ideas.

"This little dog has no other colors, it's black from head to toe. Its fur is so shiny and glossy, it looks like a good dog. Let's call it Hao Dog."

"Good Dog? What kind of name is that? No, no." Xiao Longnu thought Mu Sheng would give the dog a nice name, but when she heard the name Good Dog, she immediately shook her head and refused.

"Hao Gou sounds so nice, could his name be Laxi?" Mu Sheng muttered in a low voice.

"Brother Sheng, what did you say?" Xiao Longnu didn't quite hear what Mu Sheng said.

"It's nothing. Why not call it Dahei? It just happens to be a good match for the name Xiaohei." Mu Sheng continued to give suggestions.

"No, it doesn't sound good either." Xiaolongnu continued to shake her head.

"Then call her Black Charcoal, or Black Bean or Black Girl."

"Hei Niu? Is it a female?" Xiao Longnu said as she picked up the little black dog and took a look at it.

"It's a female. Its fur is so shiny and moist, just like jade. Why not call it Mo Yu?" Xiao Longnu was very satisfied with the name she thought of. She held the little black dog and kept calling its name.

"Moyu, Moyu, from now on your name will be Moyu."

"Mo Yu? Okay, that's not bad, but I still think the name Hao Gou is better," Mu Sheng was still thinking about the name he had chosen.

How wonderful! Three things in one sentence: a good dog is a good dog.

Xiao Longnu ignored Mu Sheng. She had gotten used to the strange things Mu Sheng said during this period of time. She hugged the black jade puppy and teased it again.

after a while
"Long'er, let's play later. It's time for us to practice martial arts. Let's leave it to Granny Sun to take care of it first." Mu Sheng spoke after Xiao Longnu's novelty had almost worn off.

"Well, here you go." Upon hearing this, Xiaolongnu handed the black jade to Mu Sheng.

"Long Er, get ready first, I'll be back soon."

After saying this, Mu Sheng went out with the basket. When he came back, the basket in his hand was gone.

At this time, changes also occurred in the secret room. Next to the cold jade bed where Xiaolongnu used to practice martial arts, there was a wooden frame like a door frame.

The shelf was placed across the middle of the cold jade bed, and three curtains were hung side by side on the middle beam, dividing the entire cold jade bed into two parts.

The half facing Mu Sheng was empty, but the other side was already occupied.

From Mu Sheng's perspective, the curve of a human figure was vaguely visible behind the curtain, and from the curve it seemed that the person was sitting cross-legged.

After closing the stone door of the stone chamber, Mu Sheng walked to the empty side of the cold jade bed with ease, sat down, and took off his clothes.

"Long Er, I'm ready, let's get started."

"Yeah." Xiao Longnu replied softly.

Mu Sheng stretched his hands through the gaps between the three curtains, and soon Xiao Longnu placed her hands on his.

Afterwards, Mu Sheng and Xiao Longnu simultaneously activated their internal energy and began to practice.

That’s right, the two of them were practicing the Jade Girl Heart Sutra.

This set of martial arts was created by Lin Chaoying, the founder of the Ancient Tomb School. When practicing this set of martial arts, heat will rise from the whole body, and the heat needs to be dissipated quickly, otherwise one will suffer internal injuries.

Moreover, in order to truly achieve success, a man and a woman must practice both the Jade Girl Heart Sutra and Quanzhen Heart Method respectively in order to succeed.

At this time, the Jade Girl Heart Sutra was running in Xiaolongnu's body, while Mu Sheng was running the Quanxin Heart Method.

It was not difficult for Mu Sheng to learn the Quanzhen Heart Method. There were so many disciples of the Quanzhen Sect practicing this skill. Mu Sheng knew hypnosis and combined with the soul-transferring technique of the Nine Yin Scriptures, he easily mastered the method of practicing the Quanzhen Heart Method.

After obtaining the Quanzhen Heart Method, Mu Sheng put the matter of dual cultivation on the agenda. After all, this could quickly improve Xiaolongnu's martial arts.

As for the characteristics of the Jade Girl Heart Sutra, one will feel hot all over when practicing it, and needs to take off all clothes before practicing.

As long as it can help Xiao Long Nu, he is willing to sacrifice his innocence. Please call him Mu·the silently giving licker·sheng.

The act of stripping naked and sitting on the cold jade bed was to dissipate the heat during the practice of the Jade Girl Heart Sutra.

In fact, Mu Sheng has never understood why the original novel had to go to an open area outdoors to dissipate heat, and he also doesn't quite understand the reason why the cold jade bed would force the heat back.

This heat can dissipate in the air, but will be forced back when it encounters the colder jade bed? Why does the jade bed prevent the heat from being transferred? Even if this is the case, finding a pool of water to dissipate heat faster than air, right?

Let’s just say we don’t understand.

But Mu Sheng didn't have such worries. He simply cooled down Xiao Longnu during their dual cultivation, and there was no need to take Xiao Longnu outdoors.

If someone saw this, Mu Sheng would feel that he was at a disadvantage even if he cut the man into pieces.

I'm narrow-minded, there's nothing I can do!
Mu Sheng and Xiao Longnu each practiced their internal energy, and their internal energy was connected through their palms.

The internal energy in Xiaolongnu's body circulated along the path of the Jade Girl Heart Sutra in her body, and then flowed into Mu Sheng's body through the palm of her hand.

Mu Sheng transformed the properties of the internal energy in his body, removing the sharpness and dryness from Xiaolongnu's internal energy, making it more pure and gentle, and then poured it into Xiaolongnu's body through the junction of their palms.

'Is this the correct way to practice the Jade Maiden Heart Sutra? My internal energy is growing too fast, and I am not as easily agitated as before.'

Although she had practiced dual cultivation several times, Xiaolongnu was still shocked by the speed at which her internal energy grew.

'Or is it because Brother Sheng's internal energy is too strong?'

Xiao Longnu looked at the other person through the small gap created by Mu Sheng's arm. His angular muscles contained explosive power but did not make him feel cumbersome.

This scene reminded Xiaolongnu of what happened that day, and she seemed to smell that scent again.

After realizing that her breathing was a little disordered, Xiaolongnu quickly closed her eyes and concentrated on practicing.

Just after she closed her eyes, Mu Sheng, who had his eyes closed behind the curtain, also slightly raised the corners of his mouth.

Don't get me wrong, he didn't use mental scanning to peek, but he noticed it through the changes in Xiaolongnu's aura.

As for the fact that Xiaolongnu felt that her internal energy was growing fast, it was because after Mu Sheng had studied the Jade Girl Heart Sutra and the Quanzhen Heart Method, he was able to use the characteristics of Hunyuan to make his internal energy 100% compatible with Xiaolongnu's internal energy.

In addition, Mu Sheng's internal energy is much stronger than Xiaolongnu's, and the effect of their dual cultivation is much higher than in the original work.

Mu Sheng estimated that after four or five years of dual cultivation, Xiaolongnu's strength would be able to reach the top level in the world of The Condor Heroes.

However, it was not of much help to Mu Sheng. It was not as much as the internal energy he gained by swallowing the morning glow once.

Speaking of it, these characteristics of the Jade Girl Heart Sutra feel very similar to the Sunflower Manual. It also takes the route of lightness and swiftness. The martial arts of the Tomb School also emphasizes that you can respond with three or four moves for every move made by others.

In addition, heat will be generated during practice, which is like an upgraded version of the Sunflower Manual, with greater power and fewer side effects.

An hour later, the two of them slowly finished their training.

When Mu Sheng withdrew his hand, he inevitably moved the curtain in the middle. In a fleeting moment, Mu Sheng and Xiao Longnu looked at each other.

"Cough cough."

After a tactical cough, Mu Sheng began to put on his clothes. Ancient clothes were more troublesome to put on. During the dressing process, Mu Sheng inadvertently brought up some breeze, which made the curtain between the two of them sway slightly.

Behind the curtain, Xiaolongnu's cheeks were also a little red at this time, and it was not known whether it was caused by fatigue after dual cultivation or something else.

"Long Er, I'm fine. I'll wait for you outside."

"Ah."

After hearing the door of the stone chamber open and close, Xiaolongnu immediately cooled her hands on the cold jade bed, then held her hot face and smiled shyly.

After a while, he put on his clothes quietly.

After tidying up his expression, he opened the door of the secret room and walked out.

Mu Sheng was standing at the door waiting for her: "Let's go, it's time to eat. Granny Sun should have stewed the goat meat. That's my exclusive secret recipe."

As Mu Sheng led Xiao Long Nu towards the dining area, he kept describing to her how delicious the food was.

Since he came, Xiaolongnu and Grandma Sun's diet has also changed a lot.

Previously, because they needed to purify their minds and restrain their desires in order to practice the Jade Girl Heart Sutra, their diet was also very light.

There is no need to restrain emotions now. Besides, Mu Sheng is a carnivore who cannot live without meat, so the eating habits of the Tomb Sect have gradually changed.

Every day Mu Sheng and Xiao Longnu either practiced martial arts together, or competed in physical skills with each other, or teased the dogs Mo Yu and the crow Xiao Hei, or played the piano and the flute, or plucked the strings of the zither.

As the days passed, the woods outside the ancient tomb were first dyed golden by the autumn wind, then painted white by the winter snow, and then sprouted branches under the gentle breeze of spring.

Half a year has passed in the blink of an eye, and many changes have taken place during this period.

First of all, Mu Sheng completed the eighth level of the Dragon Elephant Prajna Sutra. His physical strength and defense were enhanced again, and his internal energy also increased a lot.

In terms of internal energy alone, he is not much inferior to King Jinlun and Guo Jing. Coupled with the many martial arts he has practiced, Mu Sheng's actual combat power has already reached the first tier.

In addition to Mu Sheng, Xiaolongnu's strength has also improved greatly.

At this time in the original novel, Xiaolongnu could defeat Hao Datong but was no match for Qiu Chuji. Now, the strengthened Xiaolongnu can defeat two people even if she is alone.

"Gah~gah~"

A few crows were heard, and a black shadow swooped down from the sky towards Mu Sheng's location. As it was about to get close, it suddenly stopped and landed steadily on his shoulder.

"Oh, is the Quanzhen Sect competition about to begin? It seems that the unlucky protagonist Yang Guo is also going to come to the ancient tomb." Mu Sheng recalled the plot.

He was born without a father, his mother died of illness when he was young, and after being taken to Peach Blossom Island, he was bullied by the two brothers of the Wu family. Huang Rong was also on guard against him at all times because of his birth.

After being sent to Quanzhen Sect by Guo Jing, because Zhao Zhijing was disrespected by Guo Jing, he only taught Yang Guo the mantras but not the actual methods of cultivation.

A group of Quanzhen disciples also bullied him, making him do all the dirty work and then getting beaten.

After finally meeting Granny Sun who treated him well, she was beaten to death by Hao Datong. When she grew up, Xiao Longnu was raped by Zhen Zhibing by accident and her arm was broken.

"What an unlucky child!" Mu Sheng sighed and got up to go back to the ancient tomb.

Fortunately, now that Mu Sheng is here, Yang Guo has a clear sky. It just so happens that he also hates the Quanzhen Sect in The Return of the Condor Heroes.

Not to mention that they surrendered to the Mongols, the way those Quanzhen disciples spoke and acted did not seem like Taoist disciples, but more like hooligans.

After Granny Sun was beaten to death by Hao Datong because she was distracted by saving Yang Guo, he actually said that this was Granny Sun's fate.

If the top beam is crooked, the bottom beams will be crooked too. No wonder most of the Quanzhen disciples are like Zhao Zhijing, who is arrogant, domineering and unreasonable.

One afternoon three days later, outside the ancient tomb, Mu Sheng and Xiao Longnu were playing chess around a stone platform. A huge dog as black as ink was lying beside them, with an equally black crow on its head.

"Look at me eating your elephant, Brother Sheng, you are going to lose"

"Why should I lose? My mouse is still here, so I still have a chance to win the game."

Just when Mu Sheng was still struggling and unwilling to admit defeat, he saw Granny Sun coming out of the dense forest holding a dirty child.

"Granny Sun, where did you pick up this child from?" Seeing this, Mu Sheng casually wiped the chessboard, then stood up and walked towards Granny Sun.

The little dragon girl behind him chuckled and followed him up.

"I found it at the foot of the cliff in front. I don't know how it fell down." Granny Sun looked at the child in her arms with some pity.

"Looking at his clothes, he must be a disciple of Quanzhen Sect. Never mind. Let's take him back for treatment first and talk about it after he wakes up."
