Senior White, I Dreamed of "Beep Beep Beep~" Yesterday
Song Shuhang smiled, his mind racing—how should he answer Ye Si at this moment?
Should we tell her the truth?
The main reason is that this matter is too unexpected. No one would have thought that the Vacation Manor that Venerable White casually 'picked up' would be the ruins of the Jadewater Pavilion... And because of these ruins, Ye Si actually regained some of his memories.
The secret that Pavilion Master Chu had been trying to conceal for so many years was thus exposed.
"What am I? Shuhang, am I Resentment Spirit?" Ye Si's heart clenched when Song Shuhang didn't answer her question immediately.
In her memory, her death was particularly tragic. The entire 'Jadewater Pavilion' was caught in an undeserved disaster and wiped out. She died in the massacre, so one can imagine how much resentment she must have felt at that time. In such a state of grief, hatred, and rage, the possibility of her becoming Resentment Spirit is extremely high!
"No, you're not Resentment Spirit," Song Shuhang gently comforted her. At this point, it was best to tell Senior Sister Ye Si the truth to avoid her overthinking. Pavilion Master Chu probably wouldn't blame him either.
Song Shuhang replied, "Ye Si, you are Spirit Ghost."
"Spirit Ghost?" Ye Si was taken aback.
"Yes, you are Spirit Ghost. Not an ordinary ghost, and certainly not a Resentful Ghost, so you don't need to worry," Song Shuhang replied.
After a moment of stunned silence, Ye Si burst into tears again. "Spirit Ghost... isn't it still a ghost? It's still dead, still a kind of ghost."
She originally intended to become a 'dual cultivation partner' with Song Shuhang, and the two began to try dating.
Now that she's dead and a ghost... how can we even have a relationship?
"No, no, no, your situation is somewhat special." Song Shuhang explained, "As far as I know, you are not an ordinary Spirit Ghost. You are a person with the constitution of Spirit Ghost ... I don't know how to describe it properly, but your state is different from that of an ordinary Spirit Ghost. Back then, when you, Ye Si, died, your family's special Spirit Ghost used a method of 'pregnancy' to 'give birth' to you again. So, you should be considered half a Spirit Ghost."
Ye Si's eyes widened, completely bewildered.
Spirit Ghost got pregnant? And then gave birth to her?
Song Shuhang continued, "So, I feel that you, Senior Sister Ye Si, are not Spirit Ghost, but rather someone who has been 'resurrected' by Spirit Ghost using some method."
Ye Si reached out and gently wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes.
Then, she spaced out and pondered, seemingly processing what Song Shuhang had told her.
In her memories after waking up, she did indeed have an ancestral Spirit Ghost in her family, a very mysterious Spirit Ghost. Did she never expect that Spirit Ghost would ultimately give her a 'rebirth'?
But no matter what... she's still a ghost!
After a moment's thought, Ye Si suddenly raised her head and looked at Song Shuhang expectantly. "So Shuhang... do you think I'm capable of having a child in my current state?"
Song Shuhang: "..."
Before Song Shuhang could answer, Senior Sister Ye Si suddenly sighed softly, "So it really won't work. We're different species now, having children is impossible."
Song Shuhang replied, "Perhaps, if we find that ancestral Spirit Ghost in your family, there's hope of having a child? After all, she was pregnant and gave birth to Senior Sister Ye Si."
Senior Sister Ye Si shook her head. The ancestral Spirit Ghost in her family had already gone far away. How easy would it be to find her again? Moreover, the ancestral Spirit Ghost's pregnancy and birth wouldn't produce a child, but rather a life-saving and rebirth spell. Even if she learned it, she still wouldn't be able to give birth to the child she wanted.
Ye Si was feeling down.
Song Shuhang was also troubled. How could he comfort Ye Si? To be honest, he couldn't do something as terrible as getting Spirit Ghost pregnant.
Is the only way to comfort Ye Si with dry, unconvincing platitudes like, "Don't worry, we'll figure something out eventually, things will get better," which even we ourselves don't believe?
What good is that kind of comfort?
Just as Song Shuhang was pondering, Ye Si suddenly wiped away her tears and then changed the subject. "By the way, Shuhang, when I arrived, I heard from fellow Daoists that your Spirit Ghost had disappeared?"
Ye Si is very strong. Don't let her cultivation of the 'Heaven's Weeping Canon' and her tendency to cry fool you; she is a very strong female cultivator at heart. However, the fact that she herself is dead is too shocking, and she needs some time to slowly accept it.
"It hasn't disappeared. My contract with the Spirit Ghost is still intact. It's just that my Spirit Ghost has been sent to some unknown space. I can't sense it, and it can't sense me either. But one day, I will find it again," Song Shuhang said firmly.
"Mm." Ye Si nodded.
She took a deep breath, rubbed her face, and tried to pull herself together.
She needs some time to accept the fact that she is a 'Spirit Ghost'.
Just then, the door to the room was pushed open again.
"Shuhang, are you up yet? We're shooting a few more scenes today, and then we'll leave Senior White's 'Vacation Manor' to continue filming in other locations," Yu Jiaojiao said cheerfully as she pushed open the door.
The scenes involving the [Skycloud Sect] in the movie have been mostly filmed. Today, we'll reshoot a scene where Ling Ye, played by Venerable White, sheds tears of sorrow as he faces the annihilation of the [Skycloud Sect]. After that, we'll reshoot some other minor scenes, and then we'll be done.
One of the scenes is a brief shot of the wedding between "Senior Brother Gao Sheng" (played by Song Shuhang) and "White-Clad Swordsman Fan Bai" (played by Bai Skycloud Sect True Lord White Crane) at the Kongyun Sect. This shot is very simple and is only shown briefly.
"So soon? Where's the next theater?" Song Shuhang asked.
"The next theater is on the Confucian Sect territory. Senior White has already contacted True Lord Eternal Fire of the Confucian Sect 'White Cloud Academy' to borrow their 'Myriad Books Mountain' to film a movie. True Lord Eternal Fire has agreed. After all the scenes related to the [Skycloud Sect] are filmed, we will set off for 'Myriad Books Mountain' to film the story between the protagonist 'Ling Ye' and the female ghost 'Ling'er'," Yu Jiaojiao replied.
Song Shuhang: "Okay, I'll get up right away."
Wait a minute... Confucian Sect, Myriad Books Mountain?
Does this name sound familiar?
[The Upside-Down Myriad Books Mountain, the Sage Silence Pool...]
This is it!
Before the ' Glazed Scholar 'Glazed Scholar who forcibly borrowed his Spirit Ghost completely perished in the great battle between the Nine Netherworld and the mysterious Tribulation Immortal, he conveyed this seemingly random message to him.
Is the Myriad Books Mountain of the White Cloud Academy the same place mentioned in the message given to him by the Glazed Scholar?
How could things in this world be so coincidental?
The Glazed Scholar seems to be Tribulation Immortal of the Confucian Sect. Is something hidden in the 'Sage Silence Pool' of Ten Myriad Books Mountain?
For a moment, Song Shuhang with a myriad of thoughts.
A moment later.
Song Shuhang stood up and said, "Let's go, Ye Si, I'll take you to the movie set."
Since the issue of 'Spirit Ghost having children' cannot be resolved, and Ye Si cannot be comforted on this point, let's divert her attention and shift it to 'making movies,' so she won't think about issues like ' Spirit Ghost are still ghosts, Spirit Ghost can't have children with people' anymore.
As Song Shuhang got out of bed, he saw his small notebook on the bedside table.
The note contains two last words from the late Mad Blade Senior Three Waves, which he wrote down while drunk.
The first part of his dying wish, "to be buried between the Medicine Master and Jiang Ziyan," has been crossed out.
His second dying wish was. "[Cremate Senior Three Waves's body. There's no need to build a grave or erect a tombstone. Simply scatter his ashes into the sea. Let his ashes float on the waves; this is Senior Three Waves's greatest wish.]"
At this point, below this last sentence, there was an additional explanatory note, the handwriting of which is unknown.
[After I die, don't build me a grave, don't erect a tombstone, just scatter my ashes in the sea... It's not because I'm afraid someone will dance on my grave, nor for the sea to be wider, nor for national unity. It's just so that even in death I can still have some fun, rising higher and higher with the waves, endlessly.]
Song Shuhang: "..."
All I can say is, he truly lives up to his Senior Three Waves!
Beside her, Ye Si said happily, "I know the movie. Fellow Su Clan’s Seven explained it to me on the way. It's like watching a play in ancient times, but more interesting and exciting, right!"
"Hmm, even more interesting." Song Shuhang laughed heartily.
Afterwards, he took Ye Si and Yu Jiaojiao and left the room, preparing to head to the filming location.
As I pushed open the door, I saw Venerable White walking gracefully towards the film set.
The Venerable White had changed into modern casual wear, with the 'Meteor Sword' hanging at his waist.
The next part of the story he'll be acting out is this: [Since Senior Sister Murong married Feng Chuanzi, the protagonist Ling Ye left the 'Skycloud Sect' alone to fight on the front lines between cultivators and the 'Evil Realm.' He fought valiantly until he heard the news that the 'Skycloud Sect' had been wiped out in a surprise attack by the 'Evil Realm,' and rushed back to the Skycloud Sect overnight. Finally, he wept on the ruins of the Skycloud Sect.]
"Senior White, are we about to start filming?" Song Shuhang asked.
"Well, I just finished my makeup. Director Jacob said we can start filming as soon as I get there. By the way, these Eye Drops aren't very effective; I've been using them for ages and still no tears are coming out. It would be faster if I just used my spiritual power to make myself cry directly." Venerable White said, holding the 'tear prop' in his hand.
"Hahaha." Song Shuhang laughed.
Then, he thought of the 'other Senior White's from his nightmare yesterday.
Shuhang felt he needed to discuss this with Venerable White beforehand, so he said, "By the way, Senior White, there's something I want to tell you. Yesterday, I dreamt of 'beep beep beep beep~~'. Huh?"
Shuhang wanted to say, "I dreamt of a strange guy just like you, Senior White," but as soon as he spoke, his mouth and tongue seemed to be restricted by some force, and those words turned into a 'beep beep beep~~' censored word.
