Ten Thousand Soul Banner: Deceased, do you have any unfulfilled wishes?-Chapter 878 - 875: Shattered Stone

"This lake water..."

Xiao Yue looked at the surface of the lake in front of her and frowned deeply.

"What’s wrong with the lake water?" Duoduo asked softly.

"The calmer it is, the more dangerous it becomes," Xiao Yue said.

Upon hearing this, Shen Siyuan gave Xiao Yue an approving look, then said to Duoduo without a second thought: "Let’s go."

Immediately, a few people disappeared from where they were, and just at the moment of their disappearance, a sound like muffled thunder erupted from the lake, and the earth seemed to tremble.

The lake water surged into the sky and poured onto the Red Spider Lilies around the lake shore, which originally burned like flames full of life but instantly withered, then fell, and finally were all swept back into the lake by the falling water.

As the last drop of water returned, a touch of red began to emerge on the bare lakeshore, gradually spreading around the lake, and in the blink of an eye, lush Red Spider Lilies grew once more around the lake, as if nothing had ever happened.

Shen Siyuan did not stay long in the Yangzhou Netherworld. He only had Duoduo randomly teleport to several places for a general browse.

But even so, the Yangzhou Netherworld left a deep impression on him; the pollution of the Yangzhou Netherworld was not like the endless swarming of Mud Worms in the Qiongzhou Netherworld.

Here, it was about quality, not quantity; the individual Mud Worms were incredibly powerful, and most remained hidden, appearing extremely mysterious.

Moreover, the Yangzhou Netherworld was far larger than the Qiongzhou Netherworld.

Thus, the entire Netherworld’s terrain and features were extremely complex.

Shen Siyuan wanted to create a Fire Dragon Roll to replicate the solution in the Qiongzhou Netherworld, but it probably wasn’t realistic.

Without a good solution for the moment, Shen Siyuan could only take the three little ones back to the Mortal World.

"Where are we going now?"

Dou Dou looked around; by this time, the sun was already setting, and he didn’t expect that they had spent an entire day in the Yangzhou Netherworld.

"Are we going home?" Duoduo asked.

If they were going home, Duoduo wouldn’t need to put away her umbrella yet.

Shen Siyuan took out his phone and checked the time; it was already five past five in the afternoon, when several messages and missed calls came in.

He opened them casually to see that there were messages from Jiang Yingxue and Taozi, as well as a call from his mom Huang Huijuan.

It turned out that Ruan Hongzhuang had told both mothers that Shen Siyuan had gone to Si Ming.

But since they hadn’t seen him, they contacted Shen Siyuan.

First, he called his mom at home, and then texted Jiang Yingxue and Taozi.

"Where are you now?" Taozi’s reply came in quickly.

"At Ruan Ruan’s old house; where is her family?"

"There weren’t enough rooms at that place. When your relatives come for the wedding, there definitely won’t be enough space, so they moved..."

"I see. You’ve worked hard these few days."

"It’s no hard work at all; everything is arranged by professionals. I just gave some advice."

"Do you want to come back to Bin Hai with us?"

"Back to Bin Hai? Aren’t you coming to see us?" Taozi exclaimed in surprise.

"It’s almost evening; of course, we should go back for dinner and sleep..." Shen Siyuan said naturally.

"Right, eat dinner, I’m hungry..." Upon hearing Shen Siyuan say this, Dou Dou immediately chimed in loudly.

"I don’t even know what you’re doing in Si Ming, haven’t seen you all day, and now you’re going back after finally getting in touch," Taozi complained.

"Okay, I’ll come over tomorrow. Drive over to the old house to pick me up," Shen Siyuan said.

"Hmph~"

Taozi hung up the phone somewhat distastefully.

She was not impressed with Shen Siyuan’s visit to Si Ming, not only not helping at all, but also adding to her workload.

"I’m back!"

As soon as Dou Dou appeared in the living room, she immediately exclaimed, but received no response.

After all, neither Mao Sanmei nor Tang Tang could hear her, so no matter how loudly she shouted, it was useless.

But just then, Tang Tang came out of a side room holding a new teddy bear bought by her mom, her small mouth pouting as if she was angry.

Upon seeing everyone appearing in the living room, her eyes immediately sparkled. 𝒻𝘳𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝘯𝘰𝑣ℯ𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝘮

But then, as if thinking of something, she quickly ran to the group, stomped her small foot, and grumbled: "Run, big pig!"

"What does she mean?" Dou Dou scratched her head, a bit puzzled.

"She’s complaining that we didn’t take her along, calling us pigs," Shen Siyuan answered with a smile.

Only he in the family could understand what Tang Tang meant.

"What? She called me a pig?" Dou Dou reached out, intending to pinch her little face.

But midway, her hand swerved, and she directly snatched the teddy bear from Tang Tang’s hands.

"Haha..., you’ve played with it all day. Now it’s my turn," Dou Dou laughed triumphantly.

But this time, Tang Tang didn’t pounce to snatch back her toy. Instead, she focused her gaze on Shen Siyuan.

Seeing Tang Tang straining her neck, trying hard to look up at him, Shen Siyuan chose to squat down, allowing her to see clearly.

"What’s wrong?" Shen Siyuan asked.

Tang Tang didn’t speak but extended her small hand to pinch a tiny stone fragment from Shen Siyuan’s shoulder.

"Oh~"

She placed the stone fragment in Shen Siyuan’s palm.

Shen Siyuan was somewhat surprised; he didn’t know when this fragment fell onto his shoulder, but thinking about it, it likely happened during the fight with the rodent-like Mud Worm, when stones fell from the walls on both sides of the canyon.

"Is there anything special about this?" Shen Siyuan asked out of curiosity.

"Oh~"

Tang Tang widened her eyes, looking at him blankly, clearly not understanding what Shen Siyuan meant.

Shen Siyuan did not further pursue the question; instead, he pressed his forehead against Tang Tang’s, instantly connecting their consciousness.

Tang Tang and Shen Siyuan shared her vision.

He then discovered that the small stone fragment in his hand emitted a faint silver glow, a light rarely seen from Tang Tang’s perspective, which explained why the little one noticed it at a glance.

Shen Siyuan disconnected their connection, examining the stone in his hand with some confusion.

He could no longer be sure whether this fragment came from the cliff sides of the canyon.

After all, the mountains on both sides were undulating and winding for dozens of kilometers; if this stone came from the cliff, wouldn’t it mean that the entire mountain range was special?

But that, clearly, was impossible.

He then considered another possibility: the rodent-like Mud Worm came from the direction of the valley.

Could this fragment come from within the valley?

At this thought, Shen Siyuan became even more curious about the stone fragment.

He decided not to bother the little ones further and went aside with the fragment to study it.

He probed it with Divine Sense, baked it with Divine Fire, and even hammered it with brute force, but the fragment showed no reaction.

This, however, precisely proved that it was not an ordinary stone fragment.

After a round of fruitless research, Shen Siyuan turned his gaze back to the playing Tang Tang.

"Perhaps Tang Tang knows something?"

But then he shook his head with a laugh.

Though Tang Tang’s origin was extraordinary, allowing her to see what others could not, this did not mean she understood or knew everything.

With this in mind, he temporarily stored the stone fragment into the space within the Ten Thousand Soul Banner.
