Ten Thousand Soul Banner: Deceased, do you have any unfulfilled wishes?-Chapter 909 - 905: Research

"How is it today? Is Grandma happy?"

Shen Siyuan followed Ruan Hongzhuang into the house and casually asked.

"She’s very happy. She should be brought out more often." Ruan Hongzhuang chuckled.

Indeed, Grandma was quite joyous today, having seen many sights she had never seen before, and tasted foods she had never tasted before. But most importantly, she was surrounded by so many people, making her exceptionally happy all day.

But tired she truly was, and just as they returned in the afternoon, she went to her room to rest.

"I’ll go check on her," Shen Siyuan said.

Then he headed straight for Grandma’s room, only to notice that Ruan Xiangqian and Jiang Yingxue were also present.

"Father-in-law, Mother-in-law, you’re here too." Shen Siyuan quickly greeted them.

"Siyuan, you’re back. Did everything go smoothly?" Jiang Yingxue asked with a cheerful smile.

At this moment, there was no trace of the complaints she had made to her daughter that morning about "Shen Siyuan not keeping his wife company even after just getting married."

"Everything went well. Let me check on Grandma first, you can sit for now." Shen Siyuan said hastily.

"Grandma’s asleep; it’s better not to disturb her," Huang Huijuan advised from the side.

"It’s fine."

Shen Siyuan still made his way toward Grandma’s room.

"Siyuan is truly filial." Ruan Xiangqian praised upon seeing this.

Shen Jianjun chimed in, "He was raised by Grandma since childhood, so their bond is especially deep."

Jiang Yingxue, hearing this, immediately turned to Huang Huijuan, "You don’t raise your own children? Why leave them to the elders? Do you only care about your own comfort?"

"Nonsense, I’m busy with work, I don’t have the time." Huang Huijuan responded indignantly.

"You’re just a primary school teacher, what’s there to be busy about?" Jiang Yingxue remarked with a dismissive expression.

Seeing her demeanor, Huang Huijuan got upset, "Every student is like my own child; each of them requires my attention. I don’t have that much free time."

"Oh, you’re so noble, ignoring your own child while caring for others’..." Jiang Yingxue retorted sarcastically.

Huang Huijuan was infuriated by her words.

Jiang Yingxue, feeling proud, saw this as revenge for being upset by her earlier that morning.

Ruan Xiangqian and Shen Jianjun, however, slipped away unnoticed, avoiding their presence—they knew that, regardless of who won or lost, one of them would end up being the scapegoat.

Shen Siyuan gently pushed open the door and stepped into Grandma’s room.

Grandma was in a deep sleep, even producing soft snores.

Though Grandma had taken the elixir, greatly replenishing her bodily functions, she was still old. Having walked so much today, she naturally felt weary.

Shen Siyuan walked over, gently placing a hand on Grandma’s shoulder. A faint green energy flowed through his palm into Grandma’s body.

Grandma, who was sound asleep, seemed to relax completely, falling into an even deeper slumber, with even the soft snores fading away.

Only then did Shen Siyuan turn to leave the room, softly closing the door behind him.

Turning around, he was startled by Dou Dou—this little one had somehow appeared behind him.

"What are you doing here?"

"I want to play with Great-Grandma," Dou Dou said.

"Great-Grandma is resting; go play with Tang Tang. Didn’t she just say she was looking for you?" Shen Siyuan patted her little head.

This little one was indeed mischievous, but also genuinely heartwarming, it’s no wonder everyone loved her.

Usually, when kids have friends to play with, they even forget their parents, let alone think of their grandparents.

Upon hearing this, Dou Dou didn’t leave immediately but instead glanced outside the window, "Resting? It’s not even dark yet. Is she not feeling well? When my grandma’s unwell, she needs to rest for a bit."

"No, she’s just a bit tired from today’s outing."

"Alright, I’ll go play with Tang Tang then." Dou Dou said obediently, turning to leave.

At that moment, Ruan Hongzhuang came over with the copper mirror that Tang Tang found today.

"Eh? Sister Ruan, what’s that in your hand? Let me take a look!"

She craned her neck, repeatedly motioning with her little hands, a posture that was truly amusing.

"Just a copper mirror, something Tang Tang found today. I’ll let Potato have a look first."

Ruan Hongzhuang tapped her little head, then bypassed her and handed it to Shen Siyuan.

Hearing this, Dou Dou grew even more curious and didn’t go to find Tang Tang. Instead, she tagged along like a little tail.

"Tang Tang found it?"

Shen Siyuan accepted the copper mirror without much surprise—he was already used to Tang Tang picking up odd and curious things.

"Yeah, it just looks like a regular copper mirror, but I have a feeling it’s unusual, so I brought it for you to see." Ruan Hongzhuang said.

Shen Siyuan looked at the copper mirror in his hand. It was palm-sized with rust marks, appearing nothing special.

But when he turned the copper mirror over and saw the sun, moon, and star patterns hidden beneath the rust, his eyes sharpened.

The pattern seemed familiar, somewhat similar to what he saw today at the Yangzhou Netherworld ruins—the edges of the central stone platform were engraved with similar sun, moon, and star patterns.

With this in mind, Shen Siyuan ran his fingers gently over the mirror’s surface.

After several attempts, the originally rust-covered copper mirror gleamed brilliantly.

This was a simple application of Gold Qi.

"Wow~ Can I take a look?" Dou Dou exclaimed in awe from the side.

"Why are you, a child, getting involved? Go play with Tang Tang." Shen Siyuan said casually, continuing to examine the copper mirror in his hand.

Then he discovered that not only were there sun, moon, and star patterns on the back of the mirror, but also simple line-drawn patterns of birds, beasts, mountains, and rivers around them, resembling the real yet not quite matching in shape.

Shen Siyuan turned it over, realizing even the mirror’s surface wasn’t simple.

Ordinary copper mirrors are polished smooth without any additional engravings to avoid affecting their functionality. Yet, this mirror’s front edges were lined with what seemed like Sanskrit text.

But it was definitely not Sanskrit.

Shen Siyuan was so sure because he could read Sanskrit.

Of course, his ability to read Sanskrit wasn’t due to intelligence or perseverance; it was because he had absorbed the memories of the Jiuyou Demon Lord.

Though the Jiuyou Demon Lord was born poor and initially illiterate, upon entering the Cultivation World, he gradually gained knowledge; and after becoming a Demon Lord, knowledge was no longer an obstacle, mastering countless disciplines in an instant.

Moreover, as a Demon Lord, when he devoured others’ souls, he gained a wealth of knowledge.

So, the Jiuyou Demon Lord’s knowledge was substantial; however, after the Heavenly Tribulation, he was left with only a residual soul and damaged memory. Otherwise, Shen Siyuan could truly be considered knowledgeable.

Just then, Dou Dou, who had been looking up, suddenly exclaimed, "Huh, it moved!"

"Moved? What moved?"

Hearing this, Shen Siyuan looked down at Dou Dou.
