Don't talk nonsense, this is the Emperor's Banner

Chapter 38 Seduction
Shen Siyuan stared blankly at the place where the old Taoist priest disappeared, and it took him a while to come back to his senses.

Although this was only the second time he and the old Taoist priest had met, the old Taoist priest had helped Shen Siyuan a lot and solved his many doubts about the world, so Shen Siyuan had a good impression of him.

But he didn't expect that the other party would disappear so completely in front of him.

But it was irreversible, Shen Siyuan stopped worrying about it and continued to look at the things in his hand.

Unfortunately, he disappeared before he could tell the old Taoist what the jade seal and jade tablet were.

The old Taoist priest never figured out what these two things were in his entire life, but Shen Siyuan knew that these two things were both like imperial edicts and had similar functions.

One seems to be a seal of a mountain god, and the other is an edict of a river god. Both represent status and also represent the position of a god.

Shen Siyuan knew all this because there were similar things in the wilderness.

Unfortunately, these two imperial edicts have lost their spirituality and are of no use at all, becoming completely ordinary objects.

That's why the old Taoist only knew that its origin was extraordinary, but he couldn't figure out the reason.

Shen Siyuan put down [Bao Fengmian] and picked up the last piece of iron chain.

The iron chain is only as thick as a finger and no more than about two meters long. It is called an iron chain, but in fact it only looks like an iron chain and it cannot be made of iron at all.

Because it is dark all over, cold to the touch, and almost weightless.

Shen Siyuan looked at it carefully, and the more he looked, the more surprised he was. Finally, the corners of his mouth could no longer help but rise.

Because this is a soul-catching chain, it belongs to the ghost messenger of the underworld, and it is specially used to catch souls and lock spirits.

Although it is just an ordinary thing in the underworld, it is very useful to Shen Siyuan now.

The most important thing is that this thing does not require spiritual energy from heaven and earth, it only needs the warm energy of the underworld to be refined and used freely.

What Shen Siyuan lacked the least was the energy of the Netherworld. Thinking of this, Shen Siyuan's mind moved, and he summoned the [Ten Thousand Souls Banner]. He stretched out his fingers, made a gesture, and lightly tapped the soul-binding chain.

A wisp of faint blue flame wrapped around the Soul-Catching Chain, and the Soul-Catching Chain, which was originally dark in color, now glowed with a faint blue light.

Finally, the soul-binding chain jumped suddenly on the ground, like a hibernating snake suddenly waking up, twisting on the ground a few times, and finally wrapped around Shen Siyuan's wrist, along his arm, and coiled up all the way, like a spirit snake, playing with him.

But this is not the end. Shen Siyuan grabbed the end of the soul-catching chain. The chain seemed to shudder and instantly became straight like a javelin, but soon became soft again. However, it did not fall to the ground, but floated in the air, circling around Shen Siyuan's body.

Shen Siyuan pointed his fingers forward, and the soul-binding chain seemed to have come alive, immediately following his fingers and rolling forward.

"well……"

Shen Siyuan was overjoyed. Although almost every ghost in the underworld had one, it was indeed useful.

However, it was also because of this that Shen Siyuan was able to refine it easily.

Of course, one of the reasons is that the original owner may have already died and the original owner's mark is gone.

But no matter what, this soul-binding chain now belongs to him.

As his mind moved, the Soul-Catching Chain rolled up all the objects on the ground and then fell into Shen Siyuan's palm.

Shen Siyuan picked up the shovel and walked towards the broken gate of the Taoist temple.

When I arrived at the door, I looked at the Bodhi tree in front of it. The breeze was blowing, the leaves were swaying, and the sunlight was shining on the ground, like a dance of fish and dragons.

Despite such a beautiful scene, Shen Siyuan felt a little sad.

He turned around to look at the ruins of the Tingfeng Temple behind him, and his eyes fell on the statues of the Three Pure Ones in the main hall. He put down the shovel in his hand, bowed again, then packed up his things and walked down the mountain.

A breeze blew up a Bodhi leaf, which floated slowly into the hall, swirled around the statues of the Three Pure Ones, and finally landed on the broken altar.

"Where have you been in such hot weather?"

Hearing the sound of a motorcycle, Huang Huijuan came out from the house.

"Didn't I say I was going to meet my classmates?"

"Did you bury him?" Huang Huijuan looked at the shovel lying across the back of his motorcycle.

"Mom, what are you talking about?"

"I'm talking nonsense. I think you are telling lies. You even brought a shovel with you when you met your classmates."

"We buried a time capsule before, and today we remembered it, so we dug it out." Shen Siyuan is also a good liar.

Huang Huijuan looked at her son with suspicion.

"Where is that thing?" "My classmate took it back."

"Which classmate?"

"You don't know me even if you tell me."

"Male classmate or female classmate?"

"Mom, why are you asking so many questions? Where is my dad?" Shen Siyuan was also annoyed by her questions.

"Sleep in the bedroom."

"What time is it? You're still sleeping."

Shen Siyuan wiped his sweat. After working for the whole afternoon, his clothes were already soaked with sweat.

"There's watermelon in the refrigerator. Have some. I'll go wake up your father and ask him to take you there." Huang Huijuan said, then turned back to the room to call Shen Jianjun.

Shen Siyuan washed his hands, then returned to the room, took out the jade seal and jade token from his pocket and threw them into the drawer. Only the soul-binding chain was tied around his waist and used as a belt.

It's a pity that the space in the [Ten Thousand Souls Banner] cannot be opened now. When it is opened later, the Soul-Catching Chain can be directly put into the Ten Thousand Souls Banner.

When he came out of the room again, his father had already gotten up and was holding a water bottle, pouring water into his own cup.

Shen Jianjun glanced at Shen Siyuan and did not ask him where he went in the afternoon.

However, Huang Huijuan started complaining again when she saw that Shen Siyuan didn't eat the watermelon.

"You are such a big boss. If I ask you to eat watermelon, you won't eat it if I don't take it, right?"

As she spoke, she took the watermelon out of the refrigerator. Shen Jianjun, who was pouring water just now, had already gone to the kitchen to get the knife.

"You eat two pieces too, and then send your son to town."

Shen Jianjun nodded, cut the watermelon in half, and handed the middle part to Huang Huijuan.

Huang Huijuan was not polite at all and took it directly.

"Is there anything you want to buy? I'll bring it back." Shen Jianjun said.

Huang Huijuan thought for a moment and said, "Let's buy some braised dishes."

Shen Jianjun nodded and said, "Okay, I'll buy some more mutton and we'll have barbecue tonight."

"Then I'll help you cool a few bottles of beer later." Huang Huijuan said.

Shen Siyuan was eating watermelon and listening to the two people talking.

I feel that this icy watermelon is particularly refreshing today.

Is this how you play? I won’t come back next time, Shen Siyuan said angrily.

"Mom, let's go."

Shen Siyuan sat on the motorcycle and waved to Huang Huijuan.

"Go away, go away. I'm annoyed when I see you." Huang Huijuan said with a look of disgust.

But the man came forward, helped Shen Siyuan straighten his collar, then took out a wad of money from his pocket and stuffed it into Shen Siyuan's pocket.

"Mom~" Shen Siyuan called out with emotion.

"Okay, stop talking. I'll give you the money, so you should spend it frugally."

"That's not what I meant. I wanted to ask if you can please not give me cash in the future. I have to deposit money on my card, which is too troublesome. Can you just transfer the money to me via WeChat or Alipay..."

Huang Huijuan was so angry when she heard that that she reached out to hit him.

Shen Siyuan hurriedly patted Shen Jianjun on the back.

"Dad, let's go."

But the motorcycle had already started, but he just wouldn't move.

It was not until Shen Siyuan received several punches on the back that he stepped on the accelerator.
