2128 Pay homage to yourself
“You must have offended my master again. That’s why he left without saying goodbye,” said the stone tablet righteously.
Song Shuhang replied, “Don’t throw the blame on me. If Senior White is angry, it’s because we both did something wrong. Neither of us should try to escape responsibility. Moreover, we’d better not continue with this topic. Otherwise, we will only end up suffering another loss.”
Fellow Daoist Stone Tablet sighed. “Little friend Song, you’re right.”
If they kept discussing this topic, they would eventually start talking about the specifics of what happened, and Black— Emh, its master, White, could still be keeping an eye on Song Shuhang and the stone tablet through the Inner World.
The stone tablet asked, “What do we do now?”
We aren’t just going to continue lying in this coffin, right?
Song Shuhang replied, “Let’s get out of this tomb for now. After that, we need to find a way to find Senior White. Then, we can leave this world.”
Fellow Daoist Stone Tablet shook slightly. “Alright. When we return to Garre Holy Mountain’s trial grounds, my body will follow you wherever you go as we previously agreed upon!”
“Deal,” said Song Shuhang, laughing.
He then grabbed the stone tablet’s spirit and “swam” upwards.
The grave did not try to stop him.
Song Shuhang and the stone tablet left the tomb without problems.
When the two got out, they just so happened to see the black Scarlet Heaven Sword’s hilt, which had turned into a pair of praying hands.
Song Shuhang asked, “Senior Scarlet Heaven Sword, what are you doing?”
The black Scarlet Heaven Sword replied in a low, sentimental tone, “I’m honoring a friend of mine.”
It then pointed at the gravestone.
Song Shuhang was puzzled. He turned his head to look at the tomb.
At some point, the words on the gravestone appeared to have changed to “Song Shuhang’s Tombstone.”
Song Shuhang: “…”
Fellow Daoist Stone Tablet thought for a while and said, “I’m guessing it changed when I resonated with the tomb.”
The words “Song Shuhang’s Tombstone” were engraved on its body by Netherworld Ruler White, and they must have synchronized with the gravestone outside.
“Actually, this is not bad,” the black Scarlet Heaven Sword said cheerfully. “With this tomb, you can save money since you won’t have to erect one yourself. Also, I think you should erect a new tomb every time you die to pay homage to yourself.”
Song Shuhang: “…”
“Do you want incense sticks or a bouquet of flowers? Also, does it feel good to pay homage to yourself?” The black Scarlet Heaven Sword took the opportunity to rend his heart again.
“I guess.” Song Shuhang replied.
His reply left the black Scarlet Heaven Sword slightly stunned.
Has Song Shuhang’s mental state become stronger again? Has he already become indifferent to such heart-rending words?
While it was in thought, Song Shuhang pressed his palm against the black Scarlet Heaven Sword.
❮Saber-Nurturing Technique❯ x10!
After ten instances of the Saber-Nurturing Technique, the black Scarlet Heaven Sword descended to the ground comfortably. It looked as if it had just experienced an extremely refreshing massage.
Fellow Daoist Stone Tablet, could not help but quietly take a step back when it saw this scene.
This magical technique was so weird that it could not see its origins or the principles behind it!
Song Shuhang grabbed the black Scarlet Heaven Sword and stuck it into the ground before the tomb.
Without the wooden body, there was no way to gather “incense sticks”. As such, he decided to place the black Scarlet Heaven Sword before the tomb for perspective.
The important thing was the intent, after all.
After thinking for a while, Song Shuhang opened his mouth and spat something out. One after the other, white lotuses appeared in the air and descended toward the tomb.
The only thing he could produce right now were lotus flowers. Although it was weird to have a lotus flower shower during a funeral, his means were limited at the moment, so he did not have the luxury to worry about such things.
“May the dead rest in peace and the living continue to live tenaciously.” Song Shuhang put his hands together and said softly, “I, Song, will live tenaciously until the end of the world!”
After he finished paying homage, he waved his hand. “Let’s go!”
Fellow Daoist Stone Tablet floated up into the air, attracted the black Scarlet Heaven Sword like a magnet, and followed after Song Shuhang.
“We’re now going to look for the main world’s White, right? How do we do that?” the stone tablet asked.
“Since Senior White Two refused to help, we can only rely on our intuition,” Song Shuhang said.
The stone tablet shouted hastily, “Shut your mouth. Don’t call my master with a name like that!”
Song Shuhang hastily covered his mouth. “I’m sorry… Fortunately, I did not say anything too offensive.”
The man, the stone tablet, and the sword gradually disappeared into the vast desert.
Lotus flowers lay beside the tomb, swaying with the wind and emitting a strong fragrance.
The white lotus condensed through the Lotus Blossoming Tongue could reach the level of Immortal Fairy Bie Xue’s cooking when it came to fragrance and taste.
The golden sand in the desert seemed to be attracted to the flowers.
A small patch of sand drifted over, approaching the white lotuses.
After a short while, the sand condensed into a small person.
The figure made of sand had the same build as the “Little White” found in Senior White’s illusory reality.
The Little White formed from sand squatted beside the white lotuses flowers. He held a white lotus in both of his hands, opened his mouth wide, and bit the whole bud in one bite.
He chewed and chewed, and then swallowed it down.
Afterward, Little White revealed a satisfied expression.
He picked up another white lotus, opened his mouth, and stuffed the entire thing inside.
His expression was one of glee.
Not long after, the large number of lotus flowers produced by Song Shuhang’s Lotus Blossoming Tongue was gone.
After the meal was finished, Little White dissipated and returned to being a puddle of golden sand.
The wind blew, blowing the golden sand back into the desert.
❄️❄️❄️
Inside the desert, a man, a stone tablet, and a sword wandered aimlessly.
The black Scarlet Heaven Sword asked, “Did your intuition tell you anything? Have you sensed the position of Fellow Daoist White?”
Song Shuhang shook his head. He squatted down, lightly pressed his hand on the sand, and said, “In fact, the entire desert might be Senior White. He could be in any corner of this desert.”
The black Scarlet Heaven Sword asked, “Then, what are we looking for exactly?”
Song Shuhang replied, “I’m trying to find an oasis. The probability of attracting Senior White should be the highest there.”
The oasis he was talking about was the place where the young man in green robes and Little White often practiced martial arts in the illusory reality.
That should be an important place in Senior White’s memories, and the chance of luring Senior White over would be higher there.
The black Scarlet Heaven Sword asked, “After finding that place, how are you going to lure Fellow Daoist White?”
Song Shuhang said, “Right now, we can only rely on food.”
He could create lotus flowers through his Lotus Blossoming Tongue.
And as long as he and Fellow Daoist Stone Tablet could enter his Inner World, he could get fresh spring water.
There was also a portion of Saber Intent Condensing Lotus Seeds stored in his Inner World, and there should also be some edible spiritual plants that should be ripe by now.
