Ten Thousand Soul Banner: Deceased, do you have any unfulfilled wishes? Chapter 990 - 986: On the Road

Shen Siyuan did not stay in Bazhong for long. He stayed for one night, and early the next morning, he resud his journey of cultivation.

Traveling along the Chengyu Ancient Road, the scenery along the way had lost the ruggedness of the northern section of Shu Road, gaining the gentle charm of the Eastern Sichuan Hills.

Rice paddies on both sides of the ancient road stretched continuously, the green seedlings swaying in the breeze like green silk laid over the land.

Dou Dou and the other little ones transford into Yin Wind, flying low and skimming over the earth, stirring waves in the fields.

They loved playing such gas, including Xiao Yue; it seed to make them feel more free.

Naturally, Shen Siyuan also wished to fly freely in the sky, but without activating the "Five Elents Primordial Magnetic Sword," he really didn’t have a good way.

Yet, using the "Five Elents Primordial Magnetic Sword" would cause too much commotion, so he had no choice but to forgo it.

However, he was not without gains. Along this journey, the vast landscapes of his country broadened his mind, sothing that couldn’t be felt through a few online images and videos before. Only by being there could he feel the grandeur of the world, the vastness of nature...

Thus, Shen Siyuan’s mindset was continuously elevating; troubles and desires seed to be fading away, his heart becoming more tranquil.

Gazing ahead, Shen Siyuan saw a flock of egrets in a pond by the field edge, pecking at the water’s surface. Occasionally, they spread their wings, gliding over the water, creating ripples. Smoke rose from distant villages, and the sounds of roosters crowing and dogs barking drifted by, full of the vitality of the Mortal World.

"Potato is becoming more and more tasteless."

Dou Dou flew a circle around Shen Siyuan and then made her remark.

"What do you an? Have you tasted it?" Duoduo was a bit puzzled.

Xiao Yue was also curious about why Dou Dou said that.

"It feels like Potato has no... no human taste." Dou Dou thought for a mont and said.

"You don’t an to say that brother has beco a ghost, do you?" Duoduo said.

"That’s not what I an, it’s just... just..." Dou Dou couldn’t explain it even after a long ti.

It was Xiao Yue who looked thoughtfully at Shen Siyuan’s back.

Because the brother from before seed like a good person, a normal person, with the emotions and joys of an ordinary human.

But recently, it felt as though he had beco like those reclusive masters on TV, neither happy nor sad. He seed to look better, but he felt further away, which stirred a sense of unease within Xiao Yue.

Reaching the grounds of Northeast Yuzhong, the mountains gradually eased, and the rivers widened.

The Jialing River, like a green ribbon, wound through the mountains. The river water was clear and transparent, revealing the swimming carp and waterweeds below.

Occasionally, a fishing boat passed over the river; fishern, brandishing bamboo poles, cast their nets, their calls echoing in the valleys.

The bamboo groves along the banks were lush, their slender stalks pointing skyward, as sunlight filtered through the bamboo leaves, casting dappled shadows on the ground.

Dou Dou was attracted by a bamboo rat darting out of the bamboo grove and chased after it for half a mile until it burrowed into its hole.

Xiao Yue, on the other hand, paid particular attention to the reeds along the riverbank. When the wind blew, the reed flowers swayed like white waves; she quietly gathered so Yin Wind, swirling up a few reed flowers, twiddling them between her fingers.

As they entered the urban area of Chongqing, it was already afternoon. This city, called "Mountain City," was built in the mountains, surrounded by rivers. Skyscrapers were scattered on the slopes, with the light rail passing through buildings, the Yangtze River Bridge spanning the river, perfectly blending the prosperity of a modern city with the beauty of mountain and river.

Passing by a hotpot restaurant, Dou Dou tugged on Shen Siyuan’s sleeve.

"Potato... Potato... do you know what this is?"

Shen Siyuan: ...

Seeing his silence, Dou Dou smugly said, "You don’t know, do you? This is hotpot. My mom and dad took to eat it; it’s delicious..."

As she spoke, she swallowed.

"I think you just want to eat it, right?" Duoduo rcilessly exposed her.

"Hehe~"

Dou Dou wasn’t annoyed, just looked at Shen Siyuan with anticipation.

"Let’s go."

Shen Siyuan walked straight into the hotpot restaurant; since he was in Chongqing, he might as well taste the local hotpot.

Shen Siyuan ordered a dual-flavor pot. It was Duoduo’s first ti eating hotpot; she was so spiced that she stuck out her tongue, but couldn’t resist picking up a piece of tripe, cooking it, and stuffing it into her mouth, her face full of satisfaction.

During the al, the Yangtze River flowed rapidly outside the window, boats coming and going on the water, and the lush Nanshan hills afar ford a unique Ba Yu landscape.

Shen Siyuan and his party stayed in Chongqing for two days, eating hotpot, drinking milk tea, tasting spicy noodle soup, and eating spicy chicken...

"I really like it here. When I grow up, I want to live here."

On the day of departure, Dou Dou made such a remark.

This journey was not only a ntal release for Shen Siyuan; the three little ones also gained a lot of knowledge, which was sothing they couldn’t learn from any books.

Leaving Chongqing, heading towards Chengdu, the scenery along the way beca ever more picturesque.

Entering the Central Sichuan Plain, the view suddenly broadened. The boundless rice paddies and rapeseed fields intertwined, gold and green harmoniously. With the breeze blowing, the fragrance of flowers filled the air.

Country courtyards by the roadside were filled with osmanthus and bougainvillea flowers in full bloom, their scent overwhelming.

In the field canals, groups of ducks played, occasionally egrets landed on the field ridges, composing a pastoral-like scene with the farrs.

When Shen Siyuan and his party rested at a small town by the roadside, they encountered villagers going to the market. Stalls were filled with fresh vegetables, fruits, and local specialties, bamboo sieve baskets, handmade bean paste, and sweet brown sugar cakes, all exuding a bustling market atmosphere.

Duoduo was particularly interested in the sugar figurines at the market, staring eagerly at the stall.

Finally, Shen Siyuan bought each of them one. Xiao Yue seed disdainful, but couldn’t suppress her slightly upturned lips.

After arriving in Chengdu, Shen Siyuan instead did not linger like he did in Chongqing but passed through the city directly, heading towards the Western Sichuan Plateau.

"Sister Xiao Yue, what are you looking at?" Duoduo noticed Xiao Yue frequently looking back and couldn’t help but ask curiously.

"I still want to see the giant pandas," said Xiao Yue.

"The giant pandas, where? Where?" Upon hearing this, Dou Dou imdiately jumped up.

"Behind us, we’ve already left," Xiao Yue pointed behind them.

"Oh, why didn’t we go see them then?" Dou Dou was sowhat puzzled.

"Well, I don’t know either; you’ll have to ask brother," Xiao Yue explained casually.

"I’ll go ask Potato."

Dou Dou imdiately moved her short legs and stord off to question Shen Siyuan.

But soon, she returned with a smile.

"What did big brother say to you?" Xiao Yue asked expectantly.

She hoped Shen Siyuan would change his mind and let them stay in Chengdu for a few more days, giving her a chance to see the giant pandas.

"Potato said I’m even cuter than pandas, so we don’t need to see them, hehe..." Dou Dou laughed silly.

Xiao Yue: ...
