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

[This is really an unoriginal method. ]

[Humph, does it matter whether there is something new or not? Isn't it enough to catch a little goblin like you? Look at where this is? Why don't you wake up quickly!!!]

Just when Shen Yuelan was in a trance, a familiar voice with a hint of anger reached Shen Yuelan's ears, waking Shen Yuelan up from her dream of Yan Hui.

[Sister Hua? Why are you here? No, you haven't left yet? ]

[What are you talking about? You didn't leave at all. If I had come a little later, you would have been possessed by someone else! Where are the three things that the evil creature gave you?]

[Hey? Here, it's all here, huh? What is this? It's so different from what I just saw? Huh? Why am I still in Qufu City? ]

There was no Yan Hui's thing in Shen Yuelan's hand. Those were clearly three evil objects containing the three demon souls. As long as Shen Yuelan continued to wear them, the evil spirits in the container would sooner or later devour Shen Yuelan's soul and then take over her place.

But unfortunately, the demon named Yan Hui chose the wrong target. Although Hua Liluo did not follow Shen Yuelan, she always paid attention to Shen Yuelan's movements.

When Shen Yuelan first met Yan Hui, Hua Liluo felt something was wrong. Although this guy had been passing on false information to Shen Yuelan and others that he was the god of incense and worship, his role was quite appropriate and even very consistent with Hua Liluo's impression of the god of incense and worship.

But who is Hua Liluo? She is a ruthless person who has pierced through half of the Nantian Gate. Her understanding of the gods is far beyond the imagination of others. She finally found something wrong in the nearly perfect performance of [Yan Hui]'s demon.

And through the breath left by the demon [Yan Hui], he found the whereabouts of Shen Yuelan and others, arrived in time, broke the illusion created by the other party, and rescued Shen Yuelan and others.

It turned out that Shen Yuelan never left Qufu City from beginning to end, and Xiao Yuhuan had never arrived in Qufu City. The only people around him were Lu Zhiwei who was sleeping and Shen Huanyan who was lying on the ground.

Chapter 311: Old Lady Picking Persimmons

[This…what is going on? When did we enter the illusion? Why did Yan Hui want to harm me? ]

[Haha, don’t you think that it would be more meaningful for your future development if you reflect on yourself before asking others questions? ]

[Um, okay, let me think about it. I guess we have been in an illusion since the moment we entered Qufu City, right? After all, the memory in my mind has been confused since that moment.]

[Yes, you did fall into the enemy's trap at that time. So guess what the hell that beast who claimed to be Yan Hui was? ]

[Well, although he is not Yan Hui, he knows everything about Yan Hui. Even if it is not Yan Hui's obsession, he is definitely a monster evolved from related objects. Am I right? ]

[Yes, and no. The resentment in that evil creature is indeed someone's obsession, but it is not Yan Hui's.]

[If it's not Yan Hui's? Who else could it be? Besides Yan Hui himself, who else could know Yan Hui's life so well?]

【Yan Hui was not a lonely person. From Confucius to his 72 disciples, who was not with him day and night for decades? Therefore, there are still many people who know his life. 】

[Seven...seventy-two disciples? How can I guess this? It can't be Confucius' obsession, right? Confucius was overly sad about the early death of his beloved disciple? He formed an obsession after his death? This shouldn't be the case. How could Confucius' teaching level be that bad? ]

[But things in this world are so absurd that the most unlikely candidate is often the correct answer.]

[Is it really Confucius's? But did Confucius have a bad life? How could he have such a strong obsession? ]

What makes you think he lived a good life? Confucius's fame for more than 2,000 years? Most of his fame was after his death. Confucius spent his entire life in frustration, and his political ideals were never truly realized.

[If we were to ask who in Chinese history had the most resentment, apart from those who lost their country and their race, Confucius would definitely be on the list. If you don’t believe me, try to figure it out yourself.]

[Let’s talk about it. Confucius had many disciples during his lifetime. His students were all over the world. What was there to be dissatisfied about?]

【Really? Among his most proud disciples, Yan Hui and Ziyuan worked hard and died young; Zhongyou and Zilu met with disaster while tying their knots and were chopped into pieces; Ran Geng and Bo Niu suffered from severe leprosy and died without a face.】

[These three people all died before him. Do you think there is anything more painful than seeing a younger person die before an older person? ]

[Then…then Confucius was also the Minister of Justice of Lu, acting as the Prime Minister, and promoting his ideas! He was an important official of a country with the power to hunt down thieves and execute ministers according to the law. If he were in the future, he would be the Minister of Public Security and the Secretary of the Discipline Inspection Commission, right? ]

[And he did make some achievements. At least he was praised as "Shao Zhengmao was executed in seven days, his corpse was left exposed for three days, and the state of Lu was brought to a great prosperity."]

[Indeed, he did hold this position, but didn’t you hear what happened afterwards? Confucius’ ideas were too idealistic and totally inconsistent with the reality of the State of Lu. Or maybe he didn’t realize who his real boss was? He was eventually fired by the State of Lu.]

【Not to mention Confucius’ experiences after that, which were euphemistically called traveling around the countries, but in fact everyone knows that he was just handing out resumes everywhere just to get a decent job.】

[However, he went to Wei, Zheng, Cao, Song, Chen, Cai, Ye, Qi and other countries, but no country was willing to employ him. He had amazing talent, but no one could find a good talent. He had no chance to show his talent and no way to serve his country. Isn't it sad? ]

[Well, he suffered a setback in his career, but his love and family life should be okay? One of love and career will always be successful, right? ]

[Well, it seems okay, but his wife Qi Guan died five years before him, and his son Kong Li was buried three years earlier than him. His later years were quite miserable.]

[Hiss, okay, you win. Confucius seems to be a bit miserable. It is normal for such people to have some obsessions. Then, Sister Hua, how do you explain the fact that this obsession does not work in teaching? ]

[Obsession is just persistence on a certain thing. It cannot inherit all the abilities of the original owner, so it is normal that it cannot teach. ]

[But to be honest, the only thing wrong with that evil creature is that it tells a bad story, but the rest of it is already pretty perfect, even I was fooled by it for a while.]

[Oh! You actually gave it such a high evaluation. Sister Yuelong would be jealous after seeing this evaluation! It seems that I didn’t lose at all!]

[It's nothing. If I hadn't arrived in time, you and your two followers would have been completely finished. And who told you it was just an obsession? Whose obsession can be so powerful? ]

[That was a dream tapir, a dream tapir blessed with Confucius' obsession. Otherwise, how do you think it had the ability to create such a fantasy that almost encompassed the entire Yanzhou? ]

[Night tapir? I didn't expect this thing to actually exist. Didn't you guys kill all of them back then? Didn't you say that spirits are not allowed to form after the founding of the country? ]

[We are not crazy, how can we kill everything? The Nightmare Tapir will not hinder us from overthrowing the Heavenly Court, so why should we care about it? ]

[Oh, okay, so you have caught it now? What does the three Yin-made objects in my hand have to do with it? ]

[Uh, I didn't catch it. It ran away. Um, my goal was to save you, not to kill it. You have to understand the priorities.]

[And I have already confiscated the three evil things that caused it to go crazy, so it doesn't matter if it runs away.]

[Okay, then, do you have any clues about these three things that were made by the underworld? Was it someone who did it on purpose, or is it just bad luck for me, Shen Yuelan? ]

[It's not clear yet, but you don't have to worry. I have handed the things over to the Mythology Administration. I think they will give us a satisfactory answer in no time.]

[Okay, although I don’t think I will be satisfied with either of these two results. ]

While they were sorting out the course of events, they woke up the two pendants that were still unconscious. Although they were not the main targets of the nightmare tapir, they were also involved in it.

The reason why Shen Yuelan's conversation with the two people in the illusion was so smooth was that both parties were talking with real people, and they and Shen Yuelan were all in the same illusion.

The two people who were regarded as elite soldiers by Shen Yuelan were so vulnerable in front of the illusion. This sounded a wake-up call for Shen Yuelan.

[None of the three of us is proficient in spiritual magic, no wonder they chose us as their target. They are just picking on the weak.]

Chapter 312: Reversal Again

[Master, although Director Hua has not admitted it, I think there must be something wrong here. No matter how incompetent the people in the Mythology Administration are, they should not be so careless and let a so-called nightmare tapir dominate Qufu for many years.]

[And we are not flowers in a greenhouse. We have experienced many wars, big and small. No matter how careless we are, we will not be so embarrassed. I think there is a trick here. ]

【Well, how do you say it? 】

[Master, I think the most brilliant illusion is to use the most real things to weave a dream that can achieve its purpose. The environment we are in now is so real because it is real in itself.]

[But I found that there seemed to be a force between them controlling everything. It was a transparent line that did not reflect light, like smoke and dust, illusory and unnoticeable, but they did exist.]

[Therefore, I have reason to believe that we are still in an illusion, and everything that just happened was just a self-directed and self-acted show by the enemy in order to make us relax our vigilance.]

[And Director Hua just told you that the instigator of this farce was a nightmare tapir blessed with Confucius' obsession, and the three of us were in the same dream before, and Sister Yuhuan has not arrived yet. I think these words are half true and half false. ]

[Is there a possibility that everything we experienced before actually happened, and you are still in Yan Temple in Puzhou, and the two of us were defeated or actively absorbed, while Sister Yuhuan is still fighting outside? ]

Shen Huanyan's words awakened the dreamer. Yes, although Shen Yuelan thought that she was not very capable, she was not to the extent of being trapped in an illusion and completely unaware of it. At least Gan Yuelong's dream before had not been able to completely trap her.

The only time when Shen Yuelan could be dragged into a dream without her knowing it was when she was uneasy. So, at what moment did she become anxious?

Yes, it was at the moment when [Hua Li Luo] appeared. At that time, she was speechless about Yan Miao's disappearance technique. When she was distracted, Hua Li Luo suddenly appeared and scared her.

But because this guy was so elusive, he did not arouse Shen Yuelan's suspicion. Now that she thought about it carefully, this guy's appearance seemed particularly abrupt.

After all, in Shen Yuelan's impression, Hua Liluo had returned to the other world after dealing with the matter of Hanshan Temple. Even if she enjoyed the love of Director Hua alone, she wouldn't let him stop working and stay here to stare at her every day, right?

Shen Yuelan, who was convinced once again, suddenly fell into self-doubt. It seemed that she was convinced in this way before. Before others said anything, her brain had already filled in all the ideas. Her imagination was indeed a bit rich.

But what Shen Huanyan said seemed to be the case, which made Shen Yuelan fall into a long-lost confusion. Was everything in front of her an illusion or reality? How could she distinguish it?

Shen Yuelan tried to calm herself down and think about how she could see through the confusion and distinguish the truth from the false. Well, how did the protagonists of those novels do it? The naked eye was no longer trustworthy, so how about watching with the heart?

Shen Yuelan closed her eyes and tried to open her mind, but she didn't have the diamond drill, and she almost fell asleep when she closed her eyes.

[Hmm? Fell asleep? Oh, that's right, I haven't had a rest for such a long time. My brain has been overloaded and gradually became groggy.]

[Yes, it has been draining me, whether it is Hua Liluo or Shen Huanyan, it is all because of it, it makes me think, makes me tired, makes me confused, makes me desperate, and finally makes me completely crazy! ]

[In that case, then have a good sleep. The illusion is not a dream, and the one who wove the illusion is definitely not some mythical beast, the Dream Tapir. It’s just a big dream, and it will all be gone in a flash. What can you do to me? ]

[Master, are you sure you want to sleep? That's a nightmare tapir. If you fall asleep, we're really done!]

[Yes, Master, the illusion must be fought with the clearest consciousness. Once you fall asleep, your life and death will be at the mercy of fate and you will be at the mercy of others!]

[That's right, Yue Lan, once you give up resistance, everything will be over. Even I can't protect you.]

[Humph, what's wrong? Are you panicking? The three of us tried to persuade him together. Hua Liluo, you just disappeared suddenly, why do you suddenly appear again now? ]

[You have been deceiving me from the beginning. When I entered the Yan Temple in Qufu and accepted the position of Yan's Confucian scholar because of greed, I was already fooled.]

[But because I have so many people around me, you dare not act without being fully prepared, so you disguised yourself as a temple keeper to secretly spy on our itinerary and set up an ambush on the road we must take.]

[You successfully separated me from Huanyan and the others, but failed to expel Zhiwei. You tempted me again and again because you could no longer withstand the attacks of the three of them, right?]

[Master... Master, what are you talking about? I am Huanyan! ]

[Yes, Master, are you confused? We are always by your side! ]

[Okay, stop acting. You must be tired of controlling three characters to speak. Your persuasion just now has a flaw.]

[Humph, you are worthy of being the youngest major general in the other world. It is true that a great reputation is a real honor. What you said is true. I can even say that by the time you realized it, my mission had already failed.]

[You know, even your master Gan Yuelong would have almost died in my hands if there had been no reinforcements. But I never thought that this illusion that had always been successful would be seen through by a young boy like you today. It really is true that every generation has its own talented people.]

[But because of this, I can't keep you here, Shen Yuelan. Even if I can't take your identity today, I will kill you here at the cost of my life to defend the glory of Heaven! ]

【Take my life! 】

[Fuck, are you kidding me? If you want revenge, go find Hua Liluo and the others. Why are you messing with a junior like me? You are a coward! ]

[How dare you! This is called guerrilla warfare. If we can win, we will fight. If we can’t, we will run away. We will seize the opportunity and try our best to destroy all the enemy’s living forces. As long as we persist, the day of reclaiming the heaven will come! ]

[Damn, this is the worst time that Guerrilla Warfare has been hacked, but to be honest, as the target of Guerrilla Warfare, this kind of attack is really disgusting.]

[However, even if you want to fight me one-on-one, it depends on whether you have the ability. I have also walked out of mountains of swords and seas of fire. If you want to fight, then fight. Who is afraid of who? ]

After Shen Yuelan finished speaking, a royal bow appeared in his hand. It was the special weapon transformed by Shen Huanyan. After sorting out everything and breaking through all obstacles, Shen Yuelan finally got his own power back, which naturally included the ability to summon his companion demon concubine.

Shen Huanyan, who shared the same thoughts with her, responded to the call without hesitation after receiving Shen Yuelan's call, transformed herself into a soldier, and fought for the king without fear!

Chapter 313: Void Response

Appearing at the same time as Shen Huanyan were more than two thousand imperial guards. All of them were in high spirits and were planning to stretch their muscles after a long absence.

Shen Yuelan's momentum was rising, but the enemy backed down. Before Shen Yuelan gave the order to attack, this guy turned around and ran away.

It was muttering something while running, thinking that Shen Yuelan had won unfairly by calling so many people to beat it up.

[Hey? Where is that life-threatening aura from before? Didn't you want to trade one for one? Didn't you come to kill me? Look at your guts. What else can you do besides playing dirty? ]

[Shut up! This is the essence of guerrilla warfare! If you can win, fight, if you can't win, run away, this is called strategy! ! Sending them away like a reckless man is irresponsible to the Heavenly Court and a stain on our great cause of restoring our country! ]

[Humph, you coward, do you dare to keep your life? ]

[What is there to be afraid of? I am the Immortal Xu Ji Chong Ying. If you are really capable, come and catch me! ]

With the departure of Master Xu Ji Chong Ying, the world around Shen Yue Lan instantly turned into thick white fog. After the fog completely dissipated, they returned to Yan Temple in Puzhou again.

Oh, that’s not right. There is no Yan Temple in Puzhou. This is just a City God Temple that has been abandoned for a long time.

[Master, you don't want to chase me? ]

[No need. Even if we catch a small character like her, we won't be able to get anything out of her. It's better to report the news that the remnants of the previous dynasty are still active as soon as possible. We can also take the opportunity to gain some military merit.]

Shortly after the fog dissipated, Lu Zhiwei and Xiao Yuhuan came from different directions to meet Shen Yuelan.

Xiao Yuhuan and Shen Huanyan had been guarding in front of the temple gate. After discovering something was wrong, they kept trying to attack the outer positions of the illusion, thus restraining most of the power of the illusion for Shen Yuelan.

After Shen Yuelan fell into the illusion, Lu Zhiwei frantically chased after the real body of Xu Ji Chongying Zhenren, trying to rescue Shen Yuelan from the enemy's position. Therefore, he was not waiting by Shen Yuelan's side at that time.

[Master, what about the evildoer? ]

[She escaped. The person she escaped from was called Xu Ji Chong Ying Zhenren.]

[Xuji Chongying Zhenren? Humph, who was I thinking? Turns out it was that Magu.]

[Magu? This name sounds so familiar? ]

[Magu is also known as the Immortal Goddess of Longevity and the True Man of Xuji Chongying. She was a fairy maiden of little fame in the old heaven. The most famous story about her among the people is probably the story of the sea changing into fields.]

The story of the vicissitudes of life is recorded in Ge Hong's "Biographies of Immortals" in the Eastern Jin Dynasty. It tells of two immortals, one named Wang Yuan and the other named Magu. They had nothing to do, so they agreed to go down to earth to drink.

Wang Yuan arrived in a grand ceremony, surrounded by drummers and attendants, sitting in a dragon-pulled carriage, looking quite impressive. Although Magu's ceremony was not as grand as Wang Yuan's, she was quite arrogant. She used work as an excuse and made Wang Yuan wait for a long time before finally arriving.
