Ten Thousand Soul Banner: Deceased, do you have any unfulfilled wishes?-Chapter 942 - 938: Jade Emperor

Xiao Yue was equally surprised upon hearing this.

But she completely didn’t believe that the Little Grey before her could be the Jade Emperor.

"You’re lying, you’re just a ghost, and you dare to impersonate an immortal, especially the Jade Emperor." Xiao Yue said.

Shen Siyuan nodded in agreement; the Little Grey in front was indeed a ghost, but his form of existence was quite peculiar, and he faintly emitted an incense-burning aura.

"I didn’t say I am the Jade Emperor." Little Grey quickly said.

"You clearly pointed at the Jade Emperor just now." Xiao Yue said.

"I was pointing at the Jade Emperor statue." Little Grey replied.

Shen Siyuan seemed to understand, "Are you an Object Spirit?"

Everything has a spirit, and it’s not impossible for a statue to gain life from being worshipped over time, but in this End of Dharma era, it’s extremely rare.

Little Grey seemed to not understand what the Object Spirit mentioned by Shen Siyuan was.

Still, he explained, "After I died, my dad used my ashes to mold the statue of the Jade Emperor, I received incense flames for a long time, and I gained some skills..."

Shen Siyuan realized, this little guy is similar to an Earth-bound Spirit.

"Ashes?"

Xiao Yue felt extremely shocked, not understanding why Little Grey’s father would do such a thing.

Little Grey nodded, a hint of grievance in his eyes: "When building the temple, my dad was the craftsman molding the statue. Back then, I fell seriously ill and left early, my dad couldn’t bear to part with me, so he mixed my ashes into the lime, making the Jade Emperor statue together. He said this way, I could stay in the temple, receive incense tribute, and become a ghost god..."

Shen Siyuan could only say, his dad is truly brave, lucky it’s the End of Dharma era, otherwise this way would totally harm his son.

The night wind blew in from outside the courtyard, carrying the fresh scent of the old locust tree, Little Grey’s figure swayed slightly under the warm yellow light, as if ready to dissipate at any time.

He continued, "At the beginning, the temple was very prosperous, I received incense flames for hundreds of years, slowly gained some skills."

"Able to help villagers with lost chickens, make the crops at the temple gate grow well, even appear at night to play hide-and-seek with kids visiting to play..."

"Back then I was so powerful, I could turn the leaves of the locust tree into candy, make the light from lanterns follow me..."

Tang Tang seemed particularly sensitive to the word "candy," hearing this, she immediately exclaimed "Oh~," pursing her little mouth, as if savoring the sweet taste.

"Wait, that doesn’t seem right." Shen Siyuan suddenly responded.

His gaze turned to the statue behind him.

"This temple is said to have been built during Ming Jiajing to Qing Daoguang years, so the main structure is of Qing dynasty style, calculating this way, there aren’t hundreds of years?"

Shen Siyuan made a hand gesture for calculation, gazing intensely at the other.

Little Grey quickly said, "I’m not talking about this Jade Emperor Temple, but... but the Jade Emperor Temple in Fucheng Village..."

It turns out since Little Grey was molded into a statue and gained Divine Skills, he could freely travel between Jade Emperor Temples through the Jade Emperor statue.

Of course, there were restrictions, the range of travel was limited to the Jade Emperor Temples in nearby provinces, and his range of movement only inside the temple.

But even so, it’s already an incredible Divine Skill.

"I used to be even more powerful." Little Grey sighed deeply, looking somewhat disappointed.

"Oh, then why aren’t you powerful anymore?" Xiao Yue was somewhat curious.

Little Grey shook his head, "I don’t know either, probably decades ago, many temples and statues were either sealed or demolished, I got injured because of it, always in a daze, knowing nothing, only waking up slowly these years..."

"But many temples are gone now, and my skills have also weakened a lot..."

Xiao Yue didn’t understand why, but Shen Siyuan had a feeling, somewhat understanding what decades ago might mean.

He pointed to his own clothes, "Now I can only dress like this, can’t even change into new clothes."

"Then why did you summon Tang Tang? Did you know her before?"

Shen Siyuan wasn’t concerned about his condition, only worried about Tang Tang.

Little Grey quickly said, "I wanted her to come play, talk a bit, I met her only last night."

"Last night..."

They stayed in Shijiazhuang last night, and at night Tang Tang was in the same room with them, he didn’t recall Tang Tang leaving the room.

"In a dream..." Little Grey quickly explained.

Shen Siyuan had some realization upon hearing this.

Dreams are mystical, even miles apart can bring two people together instantly, but ordinary people generally can’t achieve this, because it’s very hard to synchronize.

But clearly, Tang Tang doesn’t fall in this category.

This is actually a kind of connection.

"Did you go to Shijiazhuang last night?" Shen Siyuan asked.

Little Grey nodded.

By this point, Shen Siyuan understood the circumstances, last night Tang Tang brought Little Grey into her dream, thus they met.

And today Little Grey saw her near the Jade Emperor Temple, daytime was not a good time to appear, so he invited Tang Tang to come play at the temple at night.

"Was the Cloud Riding Skill just performed by you?" Shen Siyuan asked curiously.

Little Grey nodded with some pride.

"When I was at my peak, I could Call the Wind and Rain, scatter beans to become soldiers, so impressive..."

Shen Siyuan wasn’t surprised, such actions by Little Grey were akin to stealing the Jade Emperor’s power, coupled with receiving tribute for hundreds of years, naturally some miraculous effects would arise.

"It’s too late, Tang Tang still needs to sleep, and the weather’s getting colder, staying out too long she’s likely to catch a cold, I’ll bring her to visit you again tomorrow..." Shen Siyuan said.

Luckily she ran out of the car bare-bottomed in the morning, teaching Mao Sanmei a lesson, so tonight she wore pajamas, otherwise she really might catch a cold.

"Okay, thank you sir." Little Grey gave a salute to Shen Siyuan.

Clearly this little fellow was quite polite, probably educated.

"You’re welcome, but did you summon Tang Tang just to have her accompany you?" Shen Siyuan continued asking.

It wasn’t that Shen Siyuan didn’t believe Little Grey’s words, but if truly wanting to keep playing with Tang Tang, he could continue linking through dreams, no need to summon her.

Little Grey hesitated for a moment, then honestly said, "Today, during the day, she stayed in front of my statue for a while, and I felt refreshed, never felt more comfortable, seemed like my wounds were healing faster."

Tang Tang seemed to understand Little Grey’s words, closed her eyes, moved in the direction of the main hall, calling "Oh~" as if agreeing.

Shen Siyuan walked forward, picked up Tang Tang and took her into the temple, "Then we’ll stay a little longer."

He also wanted to observe Little Grey more, as Shen Siyuan felt quite intrigued by his form of existence.

Little Grey immediately showed a happy smile, his eyes glowed like stars, "Thank you! I won’t bother you for long!"

He followed them into the temple, the warm yellow light reflected on everyone, creating a warm yet peculiar scene in the night.
