    Mu Yu was completely confused by what she heard, so she could only lie down and listen to their conversation. Unknowingly, she fell asleep.

    In her dream, Mu Yu was walking in a street market where there were many vendors selling things and a tea house where people were bustling to and fro, adding to the liveliness of the place.

    As if being pulled by something, he crossed the street and walked along the road to a less crowded area. There was a cave there, quite spacious, from which faint sounds of dogs barking and the passing trains on the tracks could be heard.

    He walked into the cave and had taken about ten steps when he saw two large dogs on either side of the stone path. Their eyes were emitting green light and they appeared extremely vicious. At that moment, they bared their sharp white teeth and stared at Mu Yu who was standing opposite a little girl. The girl glanced at the dogs and fear was evident in her eyes. She took two steps and jumped into the arms of a woman.

    The woman had a neat appearance, with light makeup on her face. She carried a small leather bag and appeared to be a city dweller, wearing a trendy dress and high-heeled shoes. She was staring at the train tracks in front of her and seemed to be oblivious of Mu Yu's presence.

    For some reason, Mu Yu's heart tightened and he had a gut feeling that something he didn't want to see was about to happen. He quickly turned and rushed back to the street, his heart still uneasy. He walked around the street feeling a little lost, the terror spreading throughout his body.

    As Mu Yulu passed by a tea house, the owner pulled him in for a cup of tea. Just as Mu Yulu was about to take a sip to calm his nerves, he suddenly heard a metallic sound in his ear. He recognized the sound, it was the ash of Zhang Tianshi's tobacco pipe.

    Mu Yu suddenly woke up and sat up straight, paying no attention to Zhang Tian Shi who was still beside him. He picked up the cold tea and took a big sip.

    Master Zhang put away his cigarette holder and continued to smoke, waiting for Mu Yu to recover before asking, "What did you dream about, my young apprentice? You were scared, sweating all over."

    Muyu turned around and saw that both Li Mingyue and Zhang Tianshi were looking at him. He wiped his sweat and said, "It's not because I'm scared. I don't know what's wrong with me. I just suddenly panicked."

    "What's the content of the dream? Tell me, I have a set of dream interpretation skills."

    "I was on the street, then I walked into a stone path. There were two dogs beside the stone path, and a mother and daughter were standing by the train tracks."

    Master Zhang pondered for a moment before nodding his head. "Streets and railways, it seems that your aptitude is much better than those three brats. You're already dreaming about these things without me even teaching you anything. Maybe in less than two years, you'll surpass that kid Li Mingyue."

    Mu Yu didn't quite understand what Zhang Tianshi meant, but he knew that he was complimenting him. After drinking the cold tea, he wasn't as scared as before, but his face still appeared pale. He didn't quite understand why he felt so scared when he saw the mother and daughter standing near the railway track. In fact, even when he saw the ghost for the first time, he wasn't as terrified as he was then.

    Li Mingyue looked at the sweat on Mu Yu's body with some curiosity. Listening to him talk, the dream he had should not have been scary, but how did he break out in a sweat? Moreover, he was clearly trapped in the dream before. It was only after his master knocked the cigarette that he was able to snap out of it.

    Zhang Tianshi walked out of the tent and allowed Mu Yu and Li Mingyue to follow him. He called over Li Gang and they entered the tunnel that was several kilometers long.

    Even during the daytime, the inside of the tunnel was pitch black. The temporary mining lamps suspended overhead swayed and shook in the wind, as if they might fall down with a few more swings.

    "The wind in the tunnel was quite strong, it was a kind of bleakness lurking beneath the ground."

    With each step, the sound of footsteps echoed in the tunnel.

    "The train tracks appear very new due to the frequent passing of trains."

    "Li Gang is leading them through this tunnel with a mining lamp in front."

    "When we were halfway through our journey, Master Zhang suddenly spoke up and said, 'My apprentice, where do you think those mother and daughter in your dream were standing?'"

    Suddenly, a sound rang next to Mu Yu's ear, causing her to take a step back in fright and bumping into the chest of Li Mingyue behind her. Li Mingyue also stopped walking as a result.

    Mu Yu smiled flatteringly twice and quickly took a step forward, not blocking the way of Li Mingyue.

    "Sir... I'm in a stone path, not a tunnel. Besides, the tunnel is so long, how am I supposed to know where I am?"

    "Master Zhang heard his words and grabbed onto him, saying, 'Don't be afraid, I'm here. In your dream, where do you think the stone path was located, on which side of the tunnel?'"

    "Mu Yu pointed to the right side of her body, 'This...this side...'"

    Zhang Tianshi nodded and said, "Okay, then you just need to keep walking along the right side of the tunnel wall! Let me know if you feel anything."

    Mu Yu had a mournful expression on his face and felt a bit timid inside. He hesitated to take a step further, but Zhang Tian Shi suddenly pushed him towards a stone wall and ordered him not to leave that path.

    "Li Mingyue looked at the old and young in front of him, couldn't help but laugh to himself. One was scared to death in his heart, while the other insisted on letting him relive the feeling in his dream."

    Li Gang was standing up front waiting for them. He looked at the young man with a gloomy expression but could not comprehend the reason behind it. He could only sigh and continue walking forward, completely puzzled.

    The group of four continued to stroll forward leisurely, until they reached a pile of rubble. Suddenly, Mu Yu's eyes filled with fear and she hastily stopped in her tracks.

    "'Grand... Grandpa...'"

    "Zhang, the celestial master, turned around and looked at him, "What's wrong? Do you sense something?"

    Muyu nodded her head like she was pounding garlic, that kind of palpitation feeling climbing up in his heart again.

    Master Zhang intentionally watched for a while from the side and said, "Um, little disciple, could you move those stones and take a look? I'm getting old and my hands and feet don't work as well as they used to."

    "Master, this kid doesn't have much strength left. Let me handle it!"

    Upon hearing this, Li Gang rolled up his sleeves and prepared to start moving the rocks, but unexpectedly, Zhang Tian Shi grabbed onto him.

    "No worries, this child just needs to do more exercise, it's good for the body."

    Li Gang watched Zhang Tianshi in that way. Although he didn't know what he meant, he obediently stopped his hands from moving and no longer thought about moving stones. He was very heart-warmed and shone the beam of his mining lamp on the pile of broken stones.

    Li Mingyue had already turned his back, his shoulders shaking as if he was snickering. He had a vague idea of what the old man was up to, and couldn't help but feel sorry for Mu Yu, who would be forced to practice her courage.

    Mu Yu looked at the pile of rocks and then glanced at Zhang Tian Shi's expression. He took a deep breath, mentally prepared himself, and began moving the pile of broken rocks in front of the stone wall.

    Half an hour later, Mu Yu was drenched in sweat. It wasn't because he was tired, but rather because he was increasingly scared as he continued to move, causing cold sweat to break out all over his body.

    He moved another rock aside and saw something under it. All the fear and trepidation he felt earlier instantly dissipated. He felt a sense of calm wash over him and let out a sigh of relief. Straightening his posture, he turned to look at Master Zhang.

    Li Gang's mining lamp flickered, revealing something on the ground. His face turned pale, and his legs trembled slightly as he stammered, "H-Hand! Master! How could there be a hand here!"

    Master Zhang turned his head and glanced at Li Gang, "Of course people have hands, unless they're using a stick to replace them?"

    After finishing speaking, Zhang Tian Shi kindly reached out his hand to pull Mu Yu away from the pile of stones.

    Muyu looked at Zhang Tianshi's movements and shrugged weakly. Just then, a childish voice mixed with a sinister tone suddenly came from behind Muyu.

    "Who are you......"

    Muyu's whole body stiffened as if there was a hand resting on his shoulder, but he dared not turn around.

    At the same time, both Zhang Tianshi and Li Mingyue's eyes narrowed, and they each took out a talisman, heading straight for Mu Yu's shoulders.

    "A yellow talisman flew before him, and Mu Yu's shoulders loosened. With utmost calm, he did not turn back and quickly returned to Zhang Tianshi's side before finally turning around."

    On top of the rocks, there stood a little girl, who was covered in blood despite wearing a small tarpaulin dress.
