Chapter 9 Desire
Seeing Shen Siyuan asking himself this.
Old Man Lu said firmly: "No."
"Why do you think so?" Shen Siyuan was curious.
Old Man Lu didn't dare to hide anything and honestly told his guess.
He was very good at reading people. When he first discovered that Doudou and her daughter could communicate with each other, he guessed that the two of them must have met some kind of master.
As for why it was an expert rather than a special chance, it was because he knew Doudou who, like him, hovered around his family very well.
The mother and daughter work almost every day at two o'clock and one line. If there is any special opportunity, they probably won't wait until now. The most likely thing is to meet someone.
The wise man was kind-hearted and could not bear to see the mother and daughter separated, so he allowed the mother and daughter to meet each other.
But when he saw Shen Shenyuan directly rejecting Jiang Wenxin's reward just now, he became even more convinced that the master was a good person with a kind heart.
Shen Siyuan smiled when he heard this.
"It's true that I'm a good person, but I'm not a fool. I helped Doudou because she is simple and kind and has a pure soul. But you look at yourself like this. Karma has stirred up the desires in your heart, which makes you so disgusting. You look like a human being, so just because you are a good person, I will help you unconditionally?”
"But...no one is perfect...except for newly born children, who doesn't have desires? How many people have never done anything untoward?" Old Man Lu defended in a low voice.
"This sentence is not wrong. People all have desires. If they don't have desires, they can't be called humans. But the biggest difference between humans and animals is that humans can restrain their desires instead of indulging their desires. You will be riddled with karma. , it is obvious that you over-indulged your desires during your lifetime, and after death you are entangled in karma and arouse your desires, which makes you look evil..."
Old Man Lu wanted to say more, but Shen Shenyuan turned around and went back upstairs.
Old Man Lu didn't dare to stop him. After thinking about it, he could only wander downstairs.
In fact, although Old Man Lu was entangled in karma, which caused the evil look on his face, the karma was not deep, indicating that he had no great evil in his life.
Shen Siyuan also knew this. On his way to get off work at night, many ghosts could not even maintain their human form and looked strange.
But Shen Siyuan was not a saint, and he would help no matter who asked him.
Not waving the Ten Thousand Souls Flag directly, absorbing the opponent into the flag, erasing his mind, or using it to drive him, or using it as a material to repair the Soul Flag, it was considered a mercy on his part.
Shen Siyuan returned home, took a shower and went to bed, saying nothing all night.
When I went out to work as usual the next day, I saw old man Lu still lingering at the door.
Seeing Shen Shen coming out, he said hello from a distance, but did not come forward.
"Good morning, master."
Shen Shen glanced at him from afar and didn't reply, but rode away directly.
Old Man Lu looked at Shen Siyuan's retreating back and did not follow him. He just sighed and continued to wander in place.
When you are alive, there is no time. Unexpectedly, after death, the most indispensable thing is time.

"Meditating far away..."
As he was riding far away, he suddenly heard someone calling him on the roadside.
Shen Shenyuan quickly stopped the car and looked around, only to see Lin Manzhi running towards him from the direction of the bus stop carrying a bag.
Then he sat unceremoniously in the back of Shen Shenyuan's car.
"Sister Manzhi, why didn't you drive today?"
"I'm late to go out. It's better to take the bus than to drive. Fortunately, I met you." Lin Manzhi said with a little excitement in his tone.
During peak hours, driving is really not as good as riding an electric bike. Electric bikes are convenient, fast, and don’t cause traffic jams.
"Have you had breakfast?" Shenyuan asked.
"Neither do I. Do you want to go together?"
"Okay, I originally wanted to buy some casually downstairs in the company..."
Lin Manzhi seemed to be very interested and kept talking along the way. However, due to the wind, some words could not be heard clearly from afar.
Although Lin Manzhi usually has no way of talking and dares to say anything, he is actually a very measured person.
Although she was sitting in the back, she was not sitting astride, but sitting on one side. One hand was holding the corner of Shen Siyuan's clothes, and the other was holding the backrest of the car, keeping a certain distance from Shen Siyuan.
Shen Siyuan parked the car in front of a restaurant called "Xingchen Breakfast".
Their fried dumplings taste very good, and the soup tastes very good. Shen Siyuan basically eats them at his house during work days.
"I'll treat you to whatever you want to eat." Lin Manzhi said.
"Six steamed buns and a bowl of spicy soup."
Shen Siyuan didn't show any politeness to her and went straight in to find a seat to sit down.
After Lin Manzhi ordered her meal, she walked in and sat down opposite Shen Siyuan.
"You haven't answered my question yet." Lin Manzhi put her bag on the bench.
"What?"
"I just told you, do you want me to introduce you to someone?"
"Sister, how old are you when you start working as a matchmaker?"
"Why not? It will save me twenty years of detours. Don't start the conversation with me and just ask me if I want it?"
"What do you want? I'm fine living alone."
"You are already twenty-six, you are not in a hurry, and neither are your parents?"
Lin Manzhi immediately hit Shen Siyuan's weakness. If his parents weren't in a hurry, they wouldn't have called him to trick him into going home.
Seeing that Shen Shen was silent, Lin Manzhi asked again: "Why, you still can't forget your ex-girlfriend?"
"How can that be possible? I don't even remember what she looks like."
Shen Siyuan had a girlfriend when he was in college, but they broke up several years ago.
Check out the 16-9 book bar and see the correct version!
"You don't mean what you say. Let me tell you, the sister I introduced to you is very beautiful." Lin Manzhi said.
"Sister Manzhi, are you so beautiful?"
Lin Manzhi laughed when he heard this, showing two rows of white teeth, which looked extremely bright.
"Am I beautiful?"
"Aren't you asking questions knowingly?"
"It's a pity that I'm already married, otherwise I would definitely consider you."
"Sister, please let me go, don't make fun of me. If my brother-in-law knows this, I will beat him up."
"It's not that exaggerated."
Lin Manzhi did not continue the topic, but asked: "How about it? Do you want to consider it?"
As she spoke, she took out her cell phone and handed the photos of her sisters to Shen Shen to look at from a distance.
It looks really beautiful from the photos.
"You're beautiful. This is you. I wouldn't introduce you to most people."
"Am I that good?"
"Of course, you can eat, drink, gamble or smoke, but you won't do the same..."
"Sister, I feel like you are scolding me."
The two had breakfast and continued to the company, but in the end Shen Shenyuan did not agree to Lin Manzhi's introduction.
As for why he didn't agree, it wasn't that Shen Shenyuan didn't like him, but that the girl was too pretty.
Shen Siyuan is very self-aware. As far as he is concerned, he is not worthy of this girl.
He has no house, no car, no savings, what can this girl do for him? So refuse it directly to avoid asking for trouble.
When I arrived at the company, everything was calm again. I had been lazy and fishing all day long, sitting there all day long. If internal cultivation hadn't really worked out, Shen Siyuan would have definitely chosen internal cultivation.
Seeing that it was almost time to get off work, Shen Shenyuan decided to get off work later and try on the Ten Thousand Souls Banner on the way, but it was not to repair the Ten Thousand Souls Banner.
It's not that he doesn't want to, but that he can't do it, because from the memory of Demon Lord Jiuyou, he discovered that the souls of the dead in the wilderness are basically pure and have very few desires. Even if they do have some, they are the simplest desires, such as being able to eat. Having enough food, having a piece of land, marrying a wife and having a baby, etc. are the most basic desires of human beings.
However, modern human beings have better lives and have more desires. After death, their souls are polluted by various desires, and their soul power becomes mixed.
And these souls are absorbed into the Ten Thousand Souls Banner. Let alone repairing the Ten Thousand Souls Banner, it is good not to pollute the Ten Thousand Souls Banner.
Of course, if he has magic power and the Ten Thousand Souls Flag is not damaged, he can refine these desires and obtain pure soul power as long as he uses magic power to activate the Ten Thousand Souls Flag. But the key is that there is no such thing.
Of course, there are also relatively pure souls that can be used after ingestion, such as Doudou, but because of this, he cannot do this.
Just because the other person was a good person during his lifetime, not only will he not be rewarded after death, but his soul will also disappear. This is some kind of hellish joke.
So Shen Siyuan planned to try the Ten Thousand Soul Banner, intending to absorb a few souls for him to drive and act as eyes and ears. This was also the inherent ability of the Ten Thousand Soul Banner and did not require mana to drive it.
Although he is just an ordinary employee, his eyes and ears are not of much use to him.
But when you get a "new toy", you always have to try it out.
Just as he was thinking about it, Doudou, whom he hadn't seen for a day, appeared again.
