Chapter 1555: Music, Mental Method, and Fellow Practitioners
"Don't come here again!"

When Xiaolongnu walked out of the ancient tomb, she happened to hear Su Mingzhe admit that he was the flute player yesterday.

After walking out of the ancient tomb and glancing at Su Mingzhe indifferently, she casually said the words of refusal.

Last night she went to bed half a quarter of an hour later than usual.

Su Mingzhe has to take the blame for this!
As a disciple of the ancient tomb, Xiaolongnu kept in mind her master's last words that men would ruin her "Tao heart", so whoever affects her "Tao heart" would be her enemy.

What you think in your heart, you speak out of your mouth.

This is the heart of a child.

Su Mingzhe was not surprised to see Xiaolongnu reject him bluntly.

However, even though he was rejected, he was not in a hurry. He took out a music score from his arms, handed it over, and said gently:
"Miss Long, the Mongolian army will march south next year. Even if you don't chase me away, I can't stay here for long! But before I leave, I have a piece of music for the zither and flute, but I haven't been able to find anyone who can play it with me! I heard your music yesterday and suddenly felt hopeful. Could you play for me once?"

"What song?"

When Xiaolongnu heard that Su Mingzhe wanted to play the zither and flute with her, she didn't want to agree.

However, playing the piano is her only hobby in life, and if she comes across a good piece of music, she will not miss it.

Thinking of this, she took the music score in her hand.

When I opened the title page, I saw four big words written on the second page: "Swordsman".

No matter what the content of the music score was, these four words alone were enough to make Xiaolongnu's eyes light up.

Where there are people, there are rivers and lakes.

When people are in the world, how many people don’t want to be the best in the world?
Most of the people in this world are mediocre. How many of them can truly be the best in the world?

Seeing that the music score he copied caught Xiaolongnu's eye, Su Mingzhe secretly breathed a sigh of relief: It was worth it, as it took him a whole morning to finish copying it!

After opening the music score, Xiao Longnu stood quietly and watched silently for half an hour, with joy and thought in her eyes at times.

This music score of "Swordsman" is different from ordinary scores, and the techniques required are also very special.

Although Xiaolongnu is very smart, when she encounters such an unfamiliar music score, she must think about it for a while before she can play it.

After reading it twice, Xiao Longnu still couldn't confirm some of the techniques, but she made a judgment in her mind:

"Mr. Su, leave this score here and come back tomorrow."

Ever since she could remember, Xiao Long Nu has lived in an ancient tomb. Apart from practicing martial arts from her master, her only entertainment in life is playing the piano.

Now Su Mingzhe gave her a challenging "task", which made her somewhat excited.

Even at this moment, she was still secretly thinking in her heart that if Su Mingzhe could come up with some more unfamiliar music scores, she would not ask him to leave.

All in all, Xiaolongnu is just a girl who has never seen the world.

Her master passed away relatively early, which resulted in her being able to communicate with outsiders entirely based on her own feelings, without having many worldly concepts and rules.

"Okay, I'll come again tomorrow!"

When Su Mingzhe saw that Xiaolongnu agreed to play "Swordsman" with him, he knew that his plan had succeeded, and he bowed and said goodbye with a smile.

At night.

Su Mingzhe once again hid and came to the ancient tomb, wanting to watch Xiaolongnu practice martial arts again.

As a result, Xiaolongnu stayed in the ancient tomb, studying the music score, and never came out.

On the second day.

When Su Mingzhe arrived at the ancient tomb, he saw Xiao Longnu standing at the door waiting for him with a rare look of joy:
"Mr. Su, I have already practiced this piece..."

"Then let's start now?"

Su Mingzhe really didn't expect that Xiaolongnu would be a music enthusiast.

The next afternoon was spent by the two of them studying and discussing.

This cycle repeated itself for half a month.

Su Mingzhe had lived in Chongyang Palace for so long that he should have said goodbye and left long ago. However, his relationship with Xiaolongnu was getting better and better. From the initial ensemble of "Swordsman" to now being able to talk about everything and exchange past experiences.

Seeing that he was so close to capturing Xiaolongnu, Su Mingzhe was naturally unwilling to leave just like that.

This day.

In front of the ancient tomb.

As usual, the two of them first played two pieces of music together and then talked for a while.

Su Mingzhe suddenly frowned, seeming to want to say something but stopping himself, as if he was struggling inside.

Xiao Long Nu was simple-minded. Seeing Su Mingzhe's sudden behavior, she immediately asked:
"Mingzhe, what's wrong with you?"

Su Mingzhe's pretentiousness was meant to attract Xiaolongnu to speak.

After Xiao Longnu asked, he finally asked the question:
"Long'er, I've noticed that your martial arts skills haven't improved in the past half month... So, I'm wondering if it's because I come here every day and bother you!"

Hearing the man's concern for her martial arts skills, Xiao Longnu didn't take any offense and said bluntly:
"My cultivation has not improved because I am missing the technique. It has nothing to do with you!"

"Missing the technique?"

Su Mingzhe asked curiously:
"Didn't your master leave any secret manual?"

"No."

Xiao Longnu recounted the origin and inheritance of the Ancient Tomb Sect.

The most advanced skill of the Ancient Tomb School, the "Jade Girl Heart Sutra", needs to be practiced together with the Quanzhen Heart Sutra.

Her master was actually the maid of the founder’s grandmother, Lin Chaoying.

When Lin Chaoying taught Xiaolongnu the master's skills, she just taught them casually. She died of depression before she had the chance to explain the more important Quanzhen Heart Skill.

This is also the main reason why Lin Chaoying forced Xiaolongnu to practice "Twelve Young Masters".

After Xiao Long Nu recounted the inheritance of her master, she was a little helpless:
"The Grandmother should have known the Quanzhen Heart Method, but she didn't leave it to my master, so I don't have it either..."

Su Mingzhe was waiting for this sentence, and he immediately said:

"Long'er... Actually, Master Guangning has already passed on the Quanzhen Heart Method to me. Since you need it, I will recite it to you right now!"

Faced with Su Mingzhe's enthusiasm, Xiaolongnu was noncommittal.

After all, practicing martial arts was just a habit for her, not a hobby.

Su Mingzhe didn't care about anything else and just recited the Quanzhen Heart Method directly.

Xiaolongnu has a good memory and can remember something after hearing it once.

However, at Su Mingzhe's reminder, he still entered the ancient tomb and copied it again with pen, ink, paper and inkstone.

At this point, Su Mingzhe should have said goodbye.

However, Su Mingzhe's goal has not been achieved yet, so he will definitely not leave easily.

After having dinner, he opened his mouth and expressed his willingness to teach Xiaolongnu how to practice Quanzhen Heart Method.

At this point, Xiao Longnu could only explain:
"Su Mingzhe, actually, our mental method is divided into external skills and internal skills. After the external skills are mastered, when practicing the internal skills, two people are needed to practice together!"

Su Mingzhe suddenly realized:

"Long'er, when you say 'practice together', you mean one person practices your Ancient Tomb Heart Technique, and the other practices Quanxin Heart Technique, right?"

"Correct!"

As Xiao Long Nu said this, she saw Su Mingzhe's face full of enthusiasm and guessed that he wanted to help her. However, she still firmly refused when she thought of the method of practicing the "Jade Girl Heart Sutra":

"In addition, the ancient tomb sect's martial arts skills are not to be passed on to outsiders!"

When Su Mingzhe heard this, he blurted out what was in his heart:

"Then can I join the Tomb Clan?"
