After being choked to death by a copper coin, she became a demon Jin Ji in the other world

Shen Yuelan had no idea of Lu Zhiwei's situation. At this moment, she had returned to the other world and was staying in the cemetery in her backyard to bury her old friend. However, this time, she was unable to retain even a little bit of her friend's obsession.

It really is, it’s all white and so clean.

After Shen Yuelan lost her family again, changes seemed to have taken place in her heart that she herself had not even noticed. She gradually became indifferent, or numb, to matters of life and death.

She was no longer as overwhelmed with grief as she was when Zhao Yuanxian lay sleeping; nor was she as heartbroken and heartbroken as she was when Luo Ning'an died.

All her sufferings now turned into a sigh and fading tears.

After finishing the Warring States affairs, Shen Yuelan originally planned to have a good rest, but she suddenly remembered that she had promised Gan Yuelong to improve the performance of the Currency Inspection Brigade this year.

Although she preferred a comfortable bed, after weighing the pros and cons, she could only struggle to get up from her warm bed, return to the cold brigade office, and continue to work hard.

[Really? Who turned the air conditioner so low? Ah, it looks like it was me.]

And in the eyes of Shen Huanyan who was standing by, Shen Yuelan's hard work was a form of escape. She just wanted to always have something to do so that she wouldn't have to think about people she would never see again when it was late at night.

Shen Huanyan felt that Shen Yuelan did not become indifferent. She just learned to put on a cold coat and a mask of indifference after being covered with bruises, so that she would not look so embarrassed.

This world is not gentle to Shen Yuelan, and even a little cruel, so what can I do for her? Shen Huanyan thought with some sorrow.

Unlike Shen Huanyan, Shen Yuelan, who is thinking about work, is now thinking about how to improve her performance.

In Shen Yuelan's value system, as a team leader, she should set an example in everything, and before making any demands on her subordinates, she should do it herself first.

If even I, the one who made the request, cannot complete the designated performance task, then what right do I have to make requests? To blame others? Shen Yuelan couldn't get over the hurdle in her heart.

Therefore, she decided to go to the Tang Dynasty first to complete her last task of the year. After coming back, she would straighten her back and discuss with everyone about how to improve performance.

But before leaving the other world, she needed to first figure out what this little guy next to her was. At this moment, in Shen Yuelan's office, besides her and Shen Huanyan, there was also a little girl in her early fifteen or sixteen years old wandering around.

This girl has no name. She may be Liu E or Tian Xi Yao, but in Shen Yuelan's eyes, she is neither of them.

Before leaving the Song Dynasty, the Liu E that Shen Yuelan saw was much more mysterious than this little guy.

But this person is definitely not the weak Tianxi demon. Whose demon princess is the demon king as soon as she is born, and she transforms directly? This is unscientific. Ugh, this is an imaginary world, what science is there?

In the other world, although we don't have to believe in science too much, we still have to talk about logic. For example, this little girl was clearly an object that looked like a copper hairpin the day before, so how could she have grown so big overnight?

God knows how Shen Yuelan felt when she woke up and found another person on her bed (Du Juan said she was not to blame), especially when this person looked very similar to Liu E.

In fact, she looks a lot like Shen Yuelan. To what extent? For example, if Shen Yuelan ran to the street and said that she was the child of herself and Liu E, no one would doubt it.

Of course, Shen Yuelan would definitely not take the blame. Although she admitted that she and Liu E had some extramarital affair, it was not to the extent of having a child.

Fortunately, Shen Yuelan still has a few elderly people around her. As the saying goes, an old person in the family is like a treasure. Although Gan Yuelong is likely to be promoted due to her achievements in recent events, she hasn't left yet.

It's just that this guy has been elusive recently, and it seems that he feels guilty about something, so he has been hiding from Shen Yuelan. What is it? Shen Yuelan couldn't remember it for a while.

Putting this aside, Shen Yuelan finally managed to catch up with her one afternoon, and now she could finally ask about this little girl.

[What…what are you doing? Please don’t disturb my vacation. 】

[Heh! Vacation? Who do you think granted you your vacation? If you keep hiding from me, do you believe I will make you work overtime until the end of time? ]

[You... don't come over here. I'm a little short on money recently. Can we talk about it in a couple of days? I will do what I promised you, but not right now. Can you give me another two days? ]

Shen Yuelan was stunned when she heard this. Promise her something? Hiss, it seems that this is the case, but this matter is not important for the time being. What she wants to know now is the little girl's matter.

Chapter 284: Enchantress Twilight

[Sister Yuelong, do you know what happened to this little girl? How did she grow so big in an instant? ]

[Ha, you ask me? Haven't you been raising this little lover yourself? How would I know about the flirting between you two? ]

[Hey! Really, Sister Yuelong, you clearly know what I mean, so stop teasing me. I’m really anxious now.]

[Why are you in such a hurry? Isn't the work already finished? ]

[It's you who's the one who said you wanted to improve the team's performance. I'm anxious to finish my own task so that I can criticize others.]

[Ah, that's what happened, but it has nothing to do with the pendant on you. It doesn't matter if you let her follow you to complete the mission. The Warring States incident will not happen again. I can promise you that.]

[It doesn't matter, but I have to know what happened to her. I hate having unstable factors around me. It makes me feel insecure.]

[Okay, as long as you are happy, let me see who this guy is.]

After she finished speaking, Gan Yuelong grabbed the little girl by the collar, dragged her in front of her, and began to observe her carefully.

The little girl who was suddenly picked up was a little frightened for a moment. Her thin arms and legs were shaking wildly, which made Gan Yuelong frown. After mumbling a few words that were not clearly heard, she threw the girl back to Shen Yuelan.

[There's nothing special about this little girl. She didn't change before, but it was just because she lacked the energy needed to transform. Once she had enough energy, she would have successfully broken through.]

[She had not transformed before, probably for the purpose of saving energy and breaking through to the demon king level as soon as possible. After all, transforming at a stage below the demon king level is a very energy-consuming thing.]

[Is that so? Then why does she look so much like me? I can understand that she looks like Liu E or Tian Xi Yao, but I really can't understand why she looks so similar to me.]

[Haha, you little scumbag, you are going to ignore me just because you lifted up your skirt, right? Let me tell you, we all knew your little thing clearly at that time. Although there are only a few left now, there are still witnesses.]

[Lululu, everything is so complicated, it's so realistic. I do want to keep a child, but I have to have the ability to do it. Well, I have a rough idea, it's just that he has been with me for a long time.]

[Tsk tsk, since you already know, why bother asking me? ]

[That's right. She was worn by you before, so she absorbed a lot of energy from you. This energy acted on her appearance, which is why she looks like you.]

[In a sense, she can be regarded as your domesticated enchantress, second only to your companion enchantress. Not to mention the past life entanglement between you and her, even the relationship between you now is worth your good treatment of her.]

[Come to think of it, you haven't given her a name yet? ]

[Ah, yes, because it involves an old friend, I was a little more cautious. Now that I have figured out the mystery surrounding her, I might as well give her a name.]

[Sister Yuelong, can you come up with a name for this girl? I can’t think of any meaningful name.]

[Shall I come? Well, this girl was born out of love and grew up in the gaps of time, why not name her Twilight, Shen Twilight, how about it? ]

[Hmm? Um... it's a good name, but what you said doesn't seem to have anything to do with it, right? This... this couldn't be something you made up, right? ]

[Hahaha, you guessed right, I just made it up, it's just a name, why bother so much, as long as it sounds nice, I'm not a cultivator, why do I have to care about fate? We are civil servants in the other world, we don't care about that.]

[Of course, if you don't like this name that has no history, then just pick another one. However, I think that since little Twilight was born in the past and will grow up in the future, the name Twilight is appropriate.]

Shen Yuelan twitched her lips when she heard this. Can't I just say it directly? I have to talk nonsense to explain the origin of it. However, what does "longer than the future" mean? What does "time gap" mean? Tsk, the water here is really deep.

[Okay, Twilight is Twilight, from now on you will be called Shen Twilight, understand? ]

Shen Yuelan announced the little girl's name quite casually, which made Shen Muguang, who was leaning beside her, very dissatisfied. He made some small movements to Shen Yuelan's waist and abdomen from time to time.

Shen Yuelan naturally didn't care about the naughty behavior of the little vixen. After she forcefully pressed Shen Muguang on her legs, she turned around and continued chatting with Gan Yuelong.

[Speaking of which, how are the guys from the Yaodaoji Squadron doing now? I haven't seen them since the last expedition to Li Yue.]

[As for them, since you didn't pay much attention to them, they have long gone their separate ways and started side jobs. ]

[Fu Xi left the other world early, and followed Su Xuan and the others to get a small boat and start a shipping business; Meng Anran went to the Medical Administration Bureau and learned medical skills. It must be her experience in the Song Dynasty that stimulated her.]

[Xu Hanyue, Long Yanyue, and Xia Longque, I heard, have set up a travel agency for tours to Quanxin City, because they all know that the residents there used to live in Wuxia Town. Although they no longer work in their old jobs, there are still many people who want to go and see it out of curiosity, so their business is quite hot.]

[As for Xiao Yuhuan, although she had avenged her great hatred in the previous war, she did not seem to be relieved after the success of the revenge. Instead, she fell deeper and deeper. Some time ago, she returned to the Yaodaoji troops to fight.]

[However, I have detained her. She is still a member of your Yaodaoji Squadron. Go get her back when you have time and have a good talk with her. Otherwise, you will regret it.]

Shen Yuelan nodded when she heard that. Among the many Demon Sword Princesses, the one that worried Shen Yuelan the most was Xiao Yuhuan. Ever since the sacrifice of Lu Lingjia and others, this girl had been living in seclusion, living in constant fear, until she finally showed up during the expedition.

But after the expedition ended, there was no news about this guy again. Of course, it might also be because Shen Yuelan did not pay attention to him. In short, what Gan Yuelong said should be done sooner rather than later. Shen Yuelan planned to go to the Yaodaoji Management Bureau to take a look soon.

Speaking of which, Shen Yuelan had never been to any administrative bureau since she came to the other world. She had not even been to the currency administrative bureau. How about the Yaodaoji administrative bureau? Shen Yuelan drooled happily when she thought of the beautiful women with fair skin, slim waist and long legs.

However, she didn't really plan to have an affair. After all, Yaodaoji's casualty rate was too high. If you talked about marriage with her today, she would die in front of you tomorrow. You can refer to Luo Ning'an for a specific example.

Chapter 285 Yaodaoji Administration Bureau

The building where the Yaodaoji Administration Bureau is located looks a bit abstract. Its exterior is actually a golden long sword piercing the sky. Although it is an advantage that one can recognize it as the Yaodaoji Administration Bureau at a glance, it is somewhat abstract as a government department.

Shen Yuelan was just about to complain about this matter to the leader of the Yaodaoji Management Bureau who came to receive her, but suddenly she learned from the other party that this building was actually built by the construction company under her name. Hiss, that's it, it's okay.

[Captain Shen is here for Yuhuan's matter, right? I have tried to persuade that girl, but she refused to go back no matter what. Sigh, she has already retired, so why should she come again? ]

[Well, actually it is like this. She had a very close sister who died in the previous Tokyo Incident. She sacrificed herself to save her. Yuhuan has been immersed in grief because of this. Because I was busy with work, I didn't take care of her mood in time, which is why she went to extremes. I'm sorry to make you laugh.]

[Haha, what are you talking about, Captain Shen? Although I don't know what happened, as an operator of the Yaodaoji Management Bureau, I think I know Yaodaoji well.]

[If you ask me, every civil servant in the other world who is granted the status of a demon sword princess is a mature warrior. They will be responsible for their own actions and will never do the wrong thing because of a mere psychological problem! ]

[Um, I…I also said that Yuhuan did something wrong. I just explained the reason why Yuhuan ran back to the Yaodaoji Squadron. You don’t need to be so excited.]

The unknown Yaodaoji official was slightly stunned when he heard this, and after realizing that his attitude was too excited, he hurriedly apologized.

He also said that he was mainly responsible for letters and visits in the bureau, and occasionally he would encounter some unreasonable guys. Therefore, when communicating, he had to be tougher in his attitude. He was just having a good chat just now.

Shen Yuelan wiped her nose to show her understanding, but she was not happy in her heart. What this person just said was just an excuse. Shen Yuelan just saw the obvious dissatisfaction and calculation in her eyes.

But how could I have offended her when I had only been in contact with her for a short while? Shen Yuelan was puzzled, but since things had come to this point, Shen Yuelan did not intend to go to someone else's side. She stopped chatting with him and started asking about Xiao Yuhuan's whereabouts.

[Okay, since you said so, I can't help but give you face. Let's put this matter aside for now. Can you tell me where Yuhuan is now? I should have told you the purpose of my coming here a long time ago. So, where is she? ]

As time went by, Shen Yuelan's tone began to become impatient. In fact, according to the military rank, Shen Yuelan, as a major general, did not need to be so polite when speaking to the colonel official of the administration in front of her.

Shen Yuelan has given the other party enough face, but the other party doesn't appreciate it. There is no need for her to pretend anymore. She can just get the person back as soon as possible and go to Wan Tang as soon as possible.

Although the late Tang Dynasty was a bit chaotic, it was still the afterglow of the Great Tang Dynasty. Shen Yuelan still wanted to go and see it. The prosperity of the Song Dynasty had already made Shen Yuelan linger. What about the Great Tang Dynasty? What kind of people would she meet there? What stories would she experience?

The moment Shen Yuelan asked the question, the other party immediately realized the disparity in their status. Seeing Shen Yuelan's smile gradually disappearing from her face, the official Yao Dao Ji did not dare to neglect Shen Yuelan's request any longer and hurriedly got up to notify Xiao Yuhuan to come over.

[Really? What were you doing earlier? ]

Although the conversation was not very pleasant, after many twists and turns, Shen Yuelan finally achieved her goal and brought Xiao Yuhuan back. There was nothing much to say about the whole process. In fact, it was just an experience of Shen Yuelan pretending to be cool.

The official came back soon, but did not bring back any good news. She conveyed to Shen Yuelan that Xiao Yuhuan did not want to meet her, and asked Shen Yuelan to go home and rest early.

Shen Yuelan was very angry when she heard this. In fact, she had already found Xiao Yuhuan's location through her own eyes. She was just being polite and didn't want to make things too embarrassing, so she came to the Yaodaoji Management Bureau to sit down, hoping to bring her back through formal procedures.

But neither Xiao Yuhuan nor the Yaodaoji Management Bureau seemed to take her seriously, especially this two-faced, smooth-talking guy in front of her. When she went to find Xiao Yuhuan, she exaggerated and said a lot of things that shouldn't be said.

In that case, she didn't want to pretend to be reserved anymore. She had already been given the chance to show her shamelessness, right?

Shen Yuelan immediately threw the teacup on the table and rushed directly to the staff dormitory upstairs. The unknown management bureau leader wanted to say something else, but just as she was about to open her mouth, she was silenced by the major general certificate that Shen Yuelan showed.

[Tsk, a higher-ranking official can crush people to death, Yuhuan, you better wish yourself good luck.]

Yes, this official of the Yaodaoji Management Bureau is actually not a bad person. She is even a comrade-in-arms of Xiao Yuhuan and Lu Lingjia. The reason why Xiao Yuhuan ran back to the Yaodaoji Management Bureau was that she played a big role in secret.

After all, she had just been promoted to the position of deputy director recently, so naturally she wanted to find two trustworthy companions as her subordinates. She happened to meet Xiao Yuhuan coming to congratulate her, which was like a pillow for someone who wanted to take a nap.

So Xiao Yuhuan was "forced" to stay by the deputy director. As Xiao Yuhuan's comrade-in-arms, the deputy director naturally would not try to trick Xiao Yuhuan. On weekdays, he just asked Xiao Yuhuan to help her with office work, which was not dangerous at all.

Xiao Yuhuan had nothing to do recently, and she had already completed this year's performance tasks, so she reluctantly agreed to help her best friend and comrade-in-arms. There was nothing wrong with this, as it was normal for good sisters to help each other.

The only problem was that Xiao Yuhuan was enjoying herself so much that she forgot to report to the Currency Inspection Team. As time went by, she became a missing person, and thus, today's drama happened.

After Shen Yuelan caught Xiao Yuhuan and learned the truth from her, she was almost mad at this little girl. If you want to help, why don't you tell the higher-ups? If someone doesn't know, they would think something has happened to you.

Xiao Yuhuan didn't want to come back at first and mumbled a lot, but after being glared at by Shen Yuelan, she immediately wilted. Seeing this, Yao Dao Ji's best friend who was watching didn't dare to say anything more. After all, it was she who detained the person and forgot to report it, causing others to worry for nothing.

[Okay, stop talking, I'm just bored, I'm going to the late Tang Dynasty next, you can accompany me for a stroll. ]

[Really? That's great. I've been so bored lately. Yuying, do you want to go with me?]

[Ha, I… forget it. I can’t spare the time right now. You guys go ahead and remember to bring me some souvenirs.]

[Okay, Yuying is a mid-level leader now, and she is very busy.]

[Go, go, stop talking nonsense. When you come back from relaxing with Captain Shen, remember to come and help me. I'm almost going crazy from all the paperwork in the bureau. Oh, I really want to have a real fight.]

Chapter 286: Emperor Wuzong Destroys Buddhism

The divisions of [Early Tang], [High Tang], [Middle Tang] and [Late Tang] are two basically similar but completely different ways of division in literature and historiography.

The "Early Tang" in literature refers to the period from the founding of the Tang Dynasty to the first year of Emperor Xuanzong's Xiantian reign (618-712), with Emperor Xuanzong's accession to the throne as the dividing point. The "Early Tang" in historiography uses the death of Emperor Taizong as the dividing line, which is from the founding of the Tang Dynasty to the twenty-third year of Emperor Taizong's Zhenguan reign (618-649).

In literature, the "Prosperous Tang Dynasty" refers to the period from the first year of Kaiyuan to the fourteenth year of Tianbao (713-755), and in historiography, the "Prosperous Tang Dynasty" refers to the period from the first year of Yonghui to the fourteenth year of Tianbao (650-755). Although the two have different beginnings, both use the fourteenth year of Tianbao, also known as the "Anshi Rebellion", as the dividing line between the "Prosperous Tang Dynasty" and the "Mid Tang Dynasty".

When it comes to the Middle Tang and Late Tang, the dividing line in literature is the Ganlu Temple Incident, that is, from the beginning of the Dali period of Emperor Daizong to the end of the Taihe period of Emperor Wenzong (766-835), which is the Middle Tang in literary history, while historiography prefers to use the Huang Chao Uprising as the dividing point between the two, that is, from the beginning of the Dali period of Emperor Daizong to the Qianfu period of Emperor Xizong (766-875), which is the Middle Tang.

The time point when Shen Yuelan went there this time was the Huichang period (840-846), which is called the Late Tang Dynasty in literature but still called the Middle Tang Dynasty in history, that is, the period when Emperor Wuzong of Tang, Li Yan, was in power.

The Tang Dynasty at that time had just recovered from the shadow of the Ganlu Temple Incident, and the seeds of eunuchs' autocracy had already blossomed and borne fruit. However, the reason why this period is still called the "Middle Tang" in historiography is that there were still several emperors who were capable of making achievements in the Tang Dynasty at that time.

Leaving aside Emperor Wenzong of Tang, who suffered a disastrous defeat at Ganlu Temple, had his power seized by eunuchs, and died of depression, his younger brother, Emperor Wuzong of Tang, Li Yan, although he was in power for a relatively short time, did many things that were beneficial to the Tang Dynasty in these short six or seven years.

If the emperors of the Tang Dynasty had not liked to imitate Qin Shi Huang and played the trick of swallowing elixir and dying, the political situation of the Tang Dynasty might have been revived by the uncle and nephew Wuzong and Xuanzong. But there are no ifs in history.

The court during Emperor Wuzong's reign was quite exciting. The famous [Niu-Li Factional Dispute] and [Emperor Wuzong's Anti-Buddhist Movement] both took place during this period. As soon as Shen Yuelan set foot on Tang soil, she witnessed an anti-Buddhist incident.

Speaking of Shen Yuelan's mission target this time, the Huichang Monster, it really has some connection with Buddhism. The Huichang Monster's true form is essentially Kaiyuan Tongbao. Because of the anti-Buddhist movement during the Huichang period of Emperor Wuzong, a large number of bronze Buddha statues were confiscated and used to cast coins.

However, because copper was heavy, the cost of collecting it from the central government for unified minting was too high, so the power of coinage had to be dispersed to various local prefectures, and the local governments were responsible for handling these "Buddhist materials". Also, behind the Kaiyuan Tongbao coins minted in these places were the abbreviations of the prefectures and counties at the time, thus forming the unique "Huaichang Buddhist Coins".
