Liang Sen's expression appeared very dispirited, but he did not fly into a rage out of humiliation, nor did he become hysterical. On the contrary, he took a deep breath and waved his left hand again. The Dian Kingdom's golden seal, which had already returned to the jade box, once again floated out and landed in the hollow of his palm. Only, this time, it was clearly more scalding than last time.
Standing on the altar, Su Bai could clearly see that Liang Sen's palm had already turned red. He recalled how Tang Zhengguo had picked up the Dian Golden Seal with a fan in his crazed state. Moreover, it had been picked up through the jade case, yet it had melted into pus. This was enough to show how tyrannical the Dian Golden Seal was. Even a peak high-level listener would have to endure tremendous pain and pressure to control it.
Liang Sen had no other choice. The first time, his gravestone had been directly shattered by Lychee's gravestone, so he had to do it again.
Su Bai didn't know whether or not this Dao Corroboration process was truly compulsory. But when he thought of Liang Sen's previous aversion and fear towards this matter, he realized that it might have been due to the instigation of his clone to break the seal and attract the attention of the broadcast. Perhaps there was a sense of coercion involved.
Because of this, Liang Sen had to leave his own gravestone here. He had to complete this Dao Corroboration process. This seal had to be stamped.
Su Bai had previously said that he was afraid it would be awkward, but he hadn't expected it to be awkward to this extent.
Every gravestone should have condensed the will of its owner. It wasn't that Lychee was deliberately targeting Liang Sen, but the will that Lychee left behind was unwilling for someone to sit shoulder to shoulder with him. Furthermore, it was very clear that Lychee's will was exceptionally tyrannical, much stronger than Liang Sen's. Thus, the scene of Liang Sen's gravestone being instantly shattered by Lychee's.
"The first gravestone has shattered. The feelings that have lingered in my heart since I first met you have drawn a full stop.
I, Liang Sen, have now corroborated the Dao for the second time.
Unceasingly passing,
Not seeking the future,
Not knowing the present,
Not having extravagant fantasies,
Only proving my helplessness! "
Under the influence of the Dian Golden Seal, another piece of stone was peeled off from the rock wall. However, this time, the stone was rather small. The transformed gravestone was only a third the size of the other gravestones. It appeared rather wretched.
But Liang Sen didn't care in the slightest. He casually tossed the Dian Golden Seal, and it returned to the jade case.
That short gravestone had been casually placed by Liang Sen in an unknown location at the bottom of the river. Compared to the other gravestones, it was very inconspicuous. It also revealed a kind of helplessness and a silent struggle.
At this moment, Su Bai felt no more contempt towards Liang Sen. Perhaps everyone had their own perseverance. and everyone had their own reverence.
To be able to face the cowardice and fear in one's heart and persevere in one's cowardice and fear, at the same time facing it honestly and not choosing to give it up, there was a kind of great freedom in this.
This was not a place to speak under the national flag, nor was it a report. There was no need to shout slogans. Maybe some people would choose to bury their weaknesses, but if they could still maintain their weaknesses, it would be a form of self-persistence.
Liang Sen's figure slowly landed on the altar, and the river below returned to its original state. The skeletons continued to float in the river, as if nothing had changed.
Liang Sen reached into his pocket and took out a pack of cigarettes. He took one out and put it in his mouth. He then handed one to Su Bai. "I think it's pretty good," Su Bai said seriously. "You only felt like you were really reaching the Dao the second time."
"Heh." Liang Sen reached into his pocket and took out a pack of cigarettes. He took one out and put it in his mouth. He then handed one to Su Bai.
"I think it's pretty good," Su Bai said seriously. "You only felt like you were really reaching the Dao the second time."
Liang Sen lit the cigarette and his figure disappeared. He was ready to leave. Giving Su Bai a cigarette was just a gesture to the only audience member. This did not mean that Liang Sen was willing to make friends with Su Bai. It was just like how Su Bai would not inexplicably brag to a low-level audience member.
It was indeed difficult to make friends with people who were not in the same circle. Both parties did not even have a common language. This was not only the case in the audience circle. In fact, it was the same in all walks of life in the real world.
Su Bai followed the black cat from the altar to the coffin. He saw Liang Sen standing beside the coffin.
"Take care."
The person in the coffin said goodbye. It seemed to be more serious than before. Perhaps the person in the coffin had also sensed Liang Sen's state of mind when he tried to prove the Way for the second time. Although it was not vigorous and vigorous, and even appeared to be a lot more petty and could not be compared to the astonishingly talented and confident audience, it had its own flavor, which was rare and commendable.
"Goodbye."
Liang Sen also said goodbye to the person in the coffin and disappeared again. At this time, the light at the entrance gradually began to weaken. It might only last for less than ten minutes.
Su Bai squatted down and looked at the black cat.
"Are you going out with me? Your other companion is staying with me. "
If he could bring this black cat out like Su Yuhang did back then, it would be a huge fortune. If both cats lived in his house, whether it was security or other aspects, it could be said to have been greatly improved.
However, the black cat only silently crawled down beside the coffin. It did not make a sound and closed its eyes, as if it was resting. However, this posture was already considered an answer to Su Bai's invitation.
It was unwilling to leave.
It wanted to continue staying here.
Su Bai smiled in disappointment. That was right. If this cat was willing to leave this place, it would have left with Lucky and Su Yuhang a long time ago. Perhaps it was still very different from Lucky. Perhaps, Lucky had chosen Su Yuhang back then, and this black cat had chosen the person in the coffin.
Everyone had their own choice. Yes, this sentence could also be applied to cats.
The person in the coffin let out a sigh. Clearly, he knew that if this black cat could leave this place with Su Bai, it would be able to see more exciting things. However, perhaps, from his heart, he seemed to be used to the feeling of having this black cat by his side for a long time.
Su Bai stretched out his hand and patted the coffin gently. "Brother, I'll come see you the next time I come to prove my Dao. What do you want to eat or drink? You can tell me now, and I'll bring it to you next time."
The person in the coffin did not respond to this question.
Su Bai shrugged and walked towards the light at the exit. When his entire body entered, his body began to distort. This was a transmission similar to a broadcast into the story world.
After a while, Su Bai's figure disappeared.
The light at the entrance gradually extinguished and returned to complete calmness. The darkness here was restored. It seemed that darkness was the essence and main color of this place.
"Meow."
The cat meowed and did not speak again.
...
"Phew... Phew..."
Su Bai did not expect that when he came out, he would be in Erhai Lake. After his entire body emerged from the water, he subconsciously took a deep breath. It was not because he almost drowned, but because compared to the Tomb of the Living Dead, the breath here was the most comfortable and refreshing.
It was late at night, and the sky was filled with stars, appearing very bright. If the weather in Dali was good, the starry sky was indeed very beautiful.
Looking around, Su Bai roughly determined his location and then swam in the direction of Cai Village's pier.
Erhai Lake was actually not very big. After all, it was actually not a real sea. In less than ten minutes, Su Bai came ashore from Cai Village's pier. Dragging his drenched body, Su Bai first walked to the inn.
Although he felt that the monk should have brought the little fellow back to Shanghai, Su Bai still had to confirm it.
Before he walked into the inn, a figure appeared in front of Su Bai. Obviously, because Su Bai did not deliberately conceal his aura, the other party had sensed him.
"You are back," the other party said.
"I say, Lord Zeng, why are you here?" Su Bai was a little surprised.
"Before Qilü entered the story world, he asked me to come over first. Your son refused to go back to Shanghai with Qilü, so I came over to take a look. I have been living here for a week."
"That's good. After all, he is also your godson."
At the thought that the little fellow was still here, Su Bai felt a lot of warmth in his heart.
"By the way, something happened during the day." Gyatso said, "A veteran died in the reed marshes up ahead. He should be a veteran, no doubt about it."
"Another veteran died?" Su Bai was puzzled. "Where is the body?"
"I handled the body and placed it under the reed marsh. I thought it was you who came back."
"Alright, let's go take a look at the body first. Maybe I know it."
The reed marsh was actually only about a hundred meters away from here, so the two of them arrived in a short while. When Gyatso lifted the layer of mud, Su Bai saw Yao Zhe, who was already a little swollen.
"He should have been poisoned to death," Gyatso analyzed. "You can tell from his skin color."
Su Bai reached out and touched Yao Zhe's body. Then, he felt that Yao Zhe's stomach was a little swollen. Immediately, he slapped Yao Zhe's stomach with his palm. Yao Zhe's stomach was directly split open by Su Bai.
Now that Yao Zhe was dead, he naturally did not have the supernatural power of a veteran. So, Su Bai could do whatever he wanted.
"Hiss …"
A colorful venomous snake was coiled in Yao Zhe's belly, flicking its forked tongue.
Gyatso's face immediately darkened. When he found the corpse earlier, he did not detect the existence of a snake in the stomach. The problem was that he could not detect the slightest aura of this snake. Even if it appeared in front of him now, he would not be able to sense its existence.
The poisonous snake seemed to be afraid of Su Bai and Gyatso's aura. It looked a little wronged, curled up there and shivered. It looked very pitiful.
However, at this moment, Su Bai directly punched out.
"Boom!"
The snake's body was directly torn into pieces, and a deep pit was formed under its feet.
The huge roar caused all the rooms in the surrounding inns to light up at this moment!
