The world begins with refining skills

Chapter 170 Junior Sister, Forgive Me (asking for monthly ticket)

A cup of tea later, everyone from the Tomb Sect gathered in a candlelit stone room.

Mu Sheng sat in the seat of honor, with Xiaolongnu and Grandma Sun on his left, and Li Mochou and her apprentice Hong Lingbo on his right.

From the moment she saw Granny Sun again, Xiao Longnu has been holding her hand tightly, as if Granny Sun would disappear if she let go.

"Grandma Sun, what happened during the time when Brother Sheng and I were away? How come even the Dragon Breaking Stone was put down?" After her mood eased, Xiao Longnu asked:
"And the charred black in the woods outside, are people attacking my Ancient Tomb Sect? Are they those stinky Taoists from the Quanzhen Sect?"

When Xiaolongnu mentioned Quanzhen Sect, her brows frowned again. Granny Sun gently stroked Xiaolongnu's hand and a kind smile appeared on her face.

"Don't worry, young lady. I'm fine." Granny Sun comforted Xiao Longnu first, and then told her what happened that day:
"That day, towards evening, I saw thick smoke coming out of the Quanzhen Sect. I thought that whether those stinking Taoists lived or died had nothing to do with us."

"But after nightfall, a large group of people appeared outside the forest, holding torches and surrounding our Tomb Raiders Sect. I vaguely saw many soldiers wearing armor and holding bows."

"I wanted to teach these thieves who dared to invade my ancient tomb a lesson, but it was your senior sister who advised me that we should not fight against them because we were outnumbered and said something like gold and jade should not touch tiles."

Granny Sun laughed again and said, "What kind of gold and jade am I, an old woman?"

"I just thought that I was unwilling to meet you and Master Sheng's child before I even met you, so I became a coward, put down the Dragon Breaking Stone and hid in the ancient tomb."

Granny Sun said this with some self-mockery, as if she was ashamed of her own cowardice. Seeing this, Xiao Longnu quickly retorted:
"How can you be a coward? Grandma Sun, your safety is much more important than those false reputations. If something happens to you because of maintaining the dignity and reputation of the Ancient Tomb Sect, it will be a loss."

"Long'er is right. This time it is all thanks to Senior Sister Mochou who persuaded you." Mu Sheng echoed Xiaolongnu and expressed his affirmation of Li Mochou's persuasion.

Hearing the name "senior sister", Li Mochou's body twisted unconsciously and her legs closed tighter.

"No need to thank me, I'm doing this for myself. If my power hadn't recovered yet, I would have run away long ago," Li Mochou said stubbornly with insincere words.

"maybe"

Mu Sheng chuckled twice. Xiao Longnu and Granny Sun were also amused by Li Mochou's arrogant and shy behavior, which made Li Mochou feel more uncomfortable.

As for Hong Lingbo, she didn't dare to show any disrespect to her master, even though Li Mochou might not be her opponent before her strength recovered.

I sat there blankly, feeling a little redundant.

When Li Mochou was about to get angry, Mu Sheng spoke again:

"The Quanzhen Sect incident must be related to the Mongols. When I came back, Long Er and I passed over the Quanzhen Sect and saw that Chongyang Palace was also burned down."

"Now that I have broken the dragon-breaking stone at the entrance of the ancient tomb, it is no longer safe to stay here. It just so happens that we have found a place that is particularly suitable for seclusion this time."

"We can take this opportunity to move the Tomb Raiders Sect there."

Mu Sheng then described in detail the beautiful scenery of Jueqing Valley, which made everyone yearn for it, especially Master Li Mochou and his disciples, who had long been tired of living in this dark ancient tomb.

"What about the young lady and Lin Zushi's coffin?"

Granny Sun was a little embarrassed. The sarcophagus was very heavy and it was not easy to transport it to that Jueqing Valley. It was also too offensive to open the museum and move the body of the ancestor.

"Don't worry about that. I have a way to transport it over," Mu Sheng said confidently.

When Granny Sun heard this, she thought of Mu Sheng’s magical qualities and stopped worrying about it.

After reaching a consensus, they immediately took action. After packing their luggage, Xiaolongnu took Granny Sun and Hong Lingbo on the Divine Condor and flew to the Unrequited Valley first.

The Divine Condor knew the way and didn't need Mu Sheng's command.

"Ah~~~"

Following a long scream from Hong Lingbo, the Divine Eagle, carrying Xiao Longnu and Granny Sun, grabbed Hong Lingbo and the luggage and rushed into the sky, flying farther and farther towards the direction where the sun was rising.

After the silhouette of the Divine Eagle completely disappeared, Mu Sheng turned around and looked at the sun that was gradually setting in the sky, and said to Li Mochou, "It's time to go back."

As he spoke, Mu Sheng walked towards the entrance of the ancient tomb. Li Mochou followed closely behind him, the expression on her face changing from time to time, and no one knew what she was thinking.

When the Divine Eagle flew back again, only a trace of sunset glow was left. Considering that it was getting late and the Divine Eagle had been carrying people for another day, Mu Sheng and Li Mochou needed to stay in the ancient tomb for another night.

Late at night, with the bright moon hanging high in the sky, many nocturnal animals begin their nightlife under the pure white moonlight.

The sounds of insects chirping, mice screaming, and birds singing can be heard from time to time, blending together to create a night symphony.

But at this moment, the ancient tomb was silent. The winding secret passages and thick mountain walls blocked all sounds outside.

Swish!
The sudden sound of footsteps broke the silence. The footsteps of the person were light, but they were particularly clear in this ancient tomb without any noise.

Li Mochou felt that she was really crazy for doing such a shameless thing.

In the dead of night, a man ran to the room of his junior sister's man. Is this still the same self who swore to kill all the unfaithful men in the world?

Li Mochou's expression kept changing. Finally, she made up her mind, reached out to open the mechanism of the stone door, and walked in with a determined look on her face.

"If you miss this opportunity."

'Junior sister, forgive me.'

The sound of the stone door opening seemed to disturb the people sleeping in the house. The shirtless man on the bed suddenly turned over from lying on his side to lying flat on his back, and the wooden bed made a creaking sound.

Li Mochou stopped suddenly, waited for a while, and when she heard no other sound, she started walking slowly again.

She walked to the bed in the dark and sat down on the edge of the bed. With the faint candlelight coming in from the corridor outside the door, Li Mochou looked at the man on the bed.

An angular face, curved and full muscles, and a special aura about him.

Finally, Li Mochou stretched out her hand with a trembling hand.
Feeling the warm touch on his cheek, Mu Sheng slowly opened his eyes. Although only a tiny bit of light shone in, Mu Sheng's current skill was enough to clearly see the situation inside the house.

"Senior Sister Mochou?" Mu Sheng was a little confused as to why the other party came to his room so late at night.

"Hey~"

Mu Sheng's words "Senior Sister Mochou" seemed to trigger a switch, and Li Mochou's whole body softened and she fell towards him.

"Ah this!"

Feeling the hot touch, Mu Sheng seemed to understand something, but his extremely high moral qualities made him feel extremely conflicted.

Respond, I feel a little sorry for Xiaolongnu!

If I don’t respond, I feel like it will hurt Li Mochou’s self-esteem!
While he was still struggling, Li Mochou recovered from her red-hot state and continued her actions.

In the dim night, a palm-sized lace bird spider slowly crawled out of its nest, looking for its prey in this lively night scene.

Soon it set its sights on a small snake and quietly approached it using its limbs.

There was a slight sound of dead leaves, and the lace bird spider stopped and carefully observed the movements of the small snake. When it found that the small snake did not notice it, it quietly approached.

As the distance got closer, the lace bird spider pounced forward, hugged the snake's body tightly with its eight legs, and opened its mouth to spit out venom to turn the snake into thick water and suck it dry.

At this critical moment, the little snake reacted, mobilized all the muscles in its body, and struggled desperately to escape the fate of being sucked dry.

Noticing the little snake's struggle, the lace bird spider became unhappy and increased the strength of its legs.

She had been starving for a long time, and when she finally found a delicious prey, how could she let it go easily?

The round spider abdomen full of patterns began to secrete white spider silk liquid, which produced a chemical reaction when it came into contact with the air, turning into thin and tough spider silk. The lace bird spider controlled the spider silk with its hind legs, wrapping it around the little snake in circles, trying to restrict the little snake's ability to move.

The little snake refused to let the lace bird spider achieve its goal easily. It twitched its body and struggled hard to tear the spider silk.

The two sides were in a stalemate.

As time goes by, there is more and more spider silk, and the sticky spider silk can stick together even if it is torn apart, but the little snake's physical strength is limited.

Finally, the little snake was tightly entangled by the silk of the lace bird spider, its body stiffened and unable to move, and it was bitten by the lace bird spider's fangs.

Strands of venom were injected into the little snake's body, turning his organs into thick water, which was sucked dry of blood bit by bit by the lace bird spider.

The lace bird spider is not having a good time either. In order to get this delicious bite, its body has been drained dry and it can no longer squeeze out any spider silk.

"What is this?"

Li Mochou found that a continuous stream of energy was gushing out from her abdomen, flowing through her body and merging into her internal energy through her meridians.

In just a short while, his internal energy increased by more than double.

Although it took her more than half a year to rebuild her internal energy after it was destroyed, the speed was not slow because it was a re-accumulation. In more than half a year, the amount of her internal energy was almost one-tenth of the original amount.

It was considered as a second-rate skill in the martial arts world, but it was so easy to double it. Li Mochou's tired body was instantly lifted up.

This opportunity is rare, and she wants more.
The little snake was very angry. It was targeted by the lace bird spider when it was resting well. Not only was it eaten up, but the poisonous spider also abused its corpse.

This was too much to bear. The little snake was so angry that it ran out of the underworld, and was instantly resurrected and started fighting with the lace bird spider again.

The next day, just as the ignorant sun rose from the east, someone plucked a breath of purple air from it.

"Suck~~"

"Gudong~"

"Hu~~"

Mu Sheng took a deep breath and swallowed all the purple air from the morning glow. It was quickly refined into a stream of energy in his body, replenishing what he had consumed last night. Then he exhaled a straight stream of white air with satisfaction.

After the sun rose completely, Mu Sheng took Li Mochou on the Divine Condor and flew towards the Unrequited Valley.

"Jie Jie"

Ouyang Feng, who was in the claws of the Divine Eagle, didn't know who he thought he was and let out a villain's laugh.

It was Li Mochou's first time to fly on the Divine Condor. She looked at the white clouds passing by with surprise. She reached out her hand and grabbed them, but they were full of cold water vapor.

Looking at the mountains and rivers beneath my feet that look like a painting, I can’t imagine that one day I will be able to fly into the sky.

"If I fall from this height, even if I have recovered 80% of my power, I will be smashed into a pile of mud."

Fortunately, they arrived at their destination very quickly and Li Mochou no longer had to worry about falling.

On a grassland in the center of the Jueqing Valley, Xiaolongnu and Grandma Sun, accompanied by Gongsun Lue'e, were already waiting for them.

After putting Li Mochou and Ouyang Feng down, Mu Sheng flew away from the Unrequited Valley without stopping.

The coffins of the Ancient Tomb Sect's founder Lin Chaoyang and Xiaolongnu's master are still in Zhongnan Mountain. Mu Sheng is anxious to bring them back, not because he feels guilty.

"Sister, you look much better today."

Xiao Longnu looked at the radiant Li Mochou with some surprise. Ever since her martial arts were abolished, Li Mochou had always had a stern face, although she had rarely smiled before.

"It's indeed much better," Grandma Sun also noticed.

"Oh! Really? Maybe it's because the scenery here is so beautiful that it makes me feel much better." Li Mochou said calmly. She would always keep what happened yesterday deep in her heart.

"Oh, I see," Xiaolongnu didn't hesitate. Led by Gongsun Lue'e, the others toured the scenery in the Jueqing Valley.

On the other side, after Mu Sheng flew back to the ancient tomb, he first put the two coffins into the space, then went to the training room to put the cold jade bed into the space, and then left the ancient tomb and went to the woods where the jade beehive was located.

I saw that the dozens of beehives that were hanging there in the past were now covered with charred marks, and the ground was littered with the corpses of jade bees.

Mu Sheng checked them one by one and found that some jade bees were still alive, and two queen bees were also preserved.

"Fortunately, not all of them were killed. There are so many flowers in Jueqing Valley. I estimate that these jade bees will be able to recover to their previous size next year."

"Love flowers are also flowers. If jade bees collect love flowers, the jade bee poison will be added to the love flower poison."

"Sigh~~"

"Write it down, and let Long Er cultivate it when we get back."

After checking the jade bee, Mu Sheng leaped again and flew towards the direction of Quanzhen Sect.

After searching around, Mu Sheng roughly knew what had happened from the mouths of several pyrotechnic Taoist priests who were still here.

This matter is somewhat related to Mu Sheng. In order to help Yang Guo vent his anger, he attacked the Quanzhen Sect and used jade bee poison to force them, causing some Quanzhen disciples to learn to bark like dogs in front of him in order to survive.

Later, when he left, he gave the antidote to those who had not surrendered, or had not had time to surrender. This caused a rift between the two gangs, and made the already corrupt Quanzhen Sect even more turbulent.

Two months ago, when the Heroes Conference was held, some Quanzhen disciples colluded with the Mongols and attacked Chongyang Palace.

The Quanzhen Sect was caught off guard and suffered heavy losses.

Not only were various books stolen and the Taoist temple houses burned down, but even Ma Yu and Wang Chuyi who stayed behind were first injured in a surprise attack, and then refused to surrender under the siege of the Mongols and died in Chongyang Palace.

As for the other Quanzhen disciples, they were all either killed, surrendered or fled. The huge Quanzhen Sect fell apart just like that.

"Fame, fortune, power, wealth and beauty are nothing but passing clouds," Mu Sheng said with some emotion.

If it weren't for the favor of the panel father, he would just be pursuing these fleeting floating grass, and there would be no way he could live as carefree as he does now.

Afterwards, Mu Sheng, led by a Taoist priest who was good at pyrotechnics, came to a back mountain. There were graves everywhere. In front of each grave was a rough wooden board. Some had the name of the deceased written on them, while others just had "Quanzhen disciple" written on them.

"We have written down the names of some of the brothers who often deal with us, and we have to write down the names of others whom we don't know like this," Taoist priest Pyrotechnician said when he saw Mu Sheng looking at the words on the wooden board.

It was also fortunate that no one cared about these pyrotechnic Taoist priests, otherwise what Mu Sheng would have seen at this time would have been rotten corpses that had been discarded at random.

Tomb of Zhao Zhijing!
Tomb of Lu Qingdu!
Mu Sheng suddenly saw two familiar names and stopped in his tracks.

"Uncle Zhao and Brother Lu." Taoist Fireworks saw Mu Sheng stop, glanced at the names on the wooden board and said:
"Those apostate brothers seemed to hate them so much that they threw them into a cesspool and drowned them. It was so tragic," said the Taoist priest, shaking his head, as if recalling some unbearable scene.

"But it can be considered a relief for Master Zhao."

With my limbs crushed and my eyeballs and tongue dug out, it is indeed better to be dead than to live like this.

After throwing a bag of silver coins to the Taoist priest who was in charge of pyrotechnics, Mu Sheng left Quanzhen Sect with gratitude. The subsequent grudges had nothing to do with him anymore.

After a final check in the ancient tomb and confirming that nothing was missing, Mu Sheng found a huge rock to block the entrance of the tomb to prevent any animals from running in.

In the sky above Mount Zhongnan, Mu Sheng took a last look at this place that left him with many memories, and then controlled the Divine Condor to fly towards the east.

　I'm a bit stuck, so I just wrote a little bit.
