Magu looked like a young woman of eighteen or nineteen years old. She was beautiful, with a bun on her head and the rest of her hair hanging down to her waist. Her clothes were patterned but not brocade, and were dazzling.

During the banquet, Magu said to Wang Yuan, "Since I received you, I have seen the East China Sea turn into mulberry fields three times. When I arrived at Penglai, the water was shallower than before. It will be almost half as shallow as before when we met. How can it turn into land again?" The phrase "苍海桑田" (cang shui mulberry fields) came from this.

[So, this Magu is quite arrogant? ]

[Well, after all, in the story, Magu is different from the immortal named Wang Yuan. She has a position in the heaven, so she is naturally very arrogant. After all, people with a regular position are always superior to others, haha.]

[Hey, hey, hey, don’t you think these two people were on a blind date? One is an older woman in the system, and the other is a second-generation rich man who works as a freelancer.]

[The two had to find a place to meet each other under the matchmaking of their elders. During the meal, they chatted about some random things, which were heard by the mortal who provided the meeting place for them, and then spread to this day.]

[Oh! I have a visual sense, the memories of my past life are attacking me! ]

[I think these two people didn't like each other, otherwise why didn't they have any post-event activities? ]

[What do you mean by the later activities? It can't be what I imagined, right? Hehe. ]

[It's just what you think, hahaha. ]

[It shouldn't be possible. Let's not talk about Wang Yuan for now. Magu has a serious job, so she still has to abide by the rules of heaven. Isn't it said that love is not allowed in heaven? It's just like office romance is not allowed. ]

[Well, I'm not a robot. Who would be as rigid as described in myths and legends? As long as the matter is not brought to the surface, the Heavenly Court will turn a blind eye most of the time. ]

[Doesn’t that mean…]

【Eh! !】×3

Miss Magu, who was slandered by Shen Yuelan and others, was hiding in a corner at this time, eavesdropping on people's conversation sinisterly. She did not leave the scene too far. After all, the most dangerous place is the safest place.

However, she regretted it now. She would rather run away at that time than listen to these little bastards here and spread dirty rumors about her!

What a bullshit blind date. She and Wang Yuan are real friends. They just haven't seen each other for a long time, so they found a place to reconnect.

It was clearly mentioned in the legend, but how did it become such a dirty thing in their mouths? It is really intolerable. I must teach them a lesson next time.

Ah, you ask why not go now? Are you questioning me, the Immortal Magu? I can go whenever I want, what's it to you!

Not to mention the immortal Magu who is still trying to survive in the wild, after Shen Yuelan and others had finished arranging the situation, they immediately reported the situation here to the Mythology Management Bureau.

After finishing what they needed to do, they did not stay here for too long. After a brief rest, they continued on their way towards Jinzhou.

[Master, are the things that Magu gave you still there? ]

[Well, it's gone, not a single one left, she took them all back, what a stingy deity. The Yan family's Confucianism was quite useful, I wanted to keep it, but unfortunately she took them all back.]

[Well, after all, there is no such thing as a free lunch. How can you get a magical weapon just by listening to a story? Even if it is the so-called Monkey King, if he wants to get all his equipment, doesn’t he have to rely on robbing? ]

[That's true. However, Master, you have changed your ways. You were tortured so badly by her before, and you didn't get any benefits. According to your previous routine, you will definitely be furious when you wake up, and then arrest people everywhere.]

[Humph, do you think I don't want to catch her now? It's just that I don't have the energy. I have to get a good night's sleep when I get to Jinzhou. ]

[Besides, after what happened to A-Tu, I have come to understand that if these remnants of the previous dynasty can survive until now, they must have some connections behind them. It is better for us to stay away from them. We cannot afford to offend these idiots.]

[Ah, that's true. Especially after Miss Gu Tu joined us, we can't act rashly.]

Chapter 314: Drinking Vinegar to Treat Diseases

[Yeah, who knows how many brothers and sisters that guy has. If I really deal with anyone, I'm afraid she will make trouble for me in bed.]

[So you just endured it? You almost died in her hands. ]

[Humph, I can't stand it. I've already sent a message to Gu Tu. I've handed this matter over to her to handle. Just wait and see. It won't be long before that Magu comes over here in disgrace to apologize to me! ! ]

【Oh, the master is mighty! 】

[Eh! The master actually has to rely on his concubine to settle things, how shameful~~]

[Hey!! Lu Zhiwei, you little bastard, dare to say that to me again!!]

[Oh my, I’m angry, the master is angry! 】

【Hahaha】×2

The land of Jinzhou is one of the authentic cultural birthplaces of China. Tang Yao established his capital here, the State of Jin dominated here, the Three Families divided Jin here, Liu Yuan defeated Jin here, Li Yuan succeeded in Huoyi, and the Hongdong Huaishu immigrants took place here. These famous historical events have all taken place here one after another.

Of course, these had nothing to do with Shen Yuelan and the others. After several days of rapid travel, they finally arrived near Jinzhou before the snow fell.

[Master, we have entered the Hedong Dao area. This place should be under the jurisdiction of the Hedong Jiedushi.]

[Who cares? We won't deal with them anyway. Hey, Huanyan, Jinzhou has such a long history, there should be some delicious food, right? It won't be another food desert, right? ]

[Alas, Qufu is just a small county town. There are no special local snacks. The special snacks from other places in Henan Province are not sold in Qufu, so we can't see any delicious food there. ],

[But Jinzhou is different. After all, it is the seat of a state. Even if there are no local specialties, we can still taste the delicacies of nearby states and counties. ]

[For example? ]

[Well, for example, Hunyuan jelly and donkey meat pancakes are both famous Hedong specialties. ]

[Hunyuan jelly is a special snack in Hunyuan County, Yunzhou. It is made from potato flour, dried tofu and broad beans. The jelly is clear, smooth and refreshing. It feels slippery in the hand and cool in the mouth. It is a unique delicacy of Beiyue.]

[According to legend, on the day of the beginning of summer, Emperor Taizong of Tang, Li Shimin, led his army north to the foot of Mount Heng. When he was extremely hungry and thirsty, General Xue Rengui presented him with the Xue family's secret jelly. After Li Shimin ate it, his hunger and thirst were relieved and he felt refreshed. Therefore, he was specially granted the name Hunyuan jelly.]

[Xue Rengui even specially composed a poem for this occasion: The wind from Hengshan Mountain brings the chill of the beginning of summer, and the abdominal muscles are widened after all the Hu Tatars are killed. Fortunately, there is a banquet of imperial rice noodles, and Taizong's generals and soldiers are all happy.]

[There is also the donkey meat pancake, which is a snack in Shangdang County, Luzhou. It is greasy, fragrant, not too soft or too hard, and has an endless aftertaste. It is said that it has a history of more than a thousand years. ]

[According to legend, when Emperor Minghuang of the Tang Dynasty, Li Longji, was serving as the deputy governor of Luzhou, he wanted to eat noodles in a restaurant. Unexpectedly, the waiter put too much water in the dough, and the dough fell into the oil basin. The owner quickly took out the dough, rolled it, and shook it to make a special pancake. Li Longji was amazed after eating it and named it "Shui Bing".]

[Eh? Why are they all noodles? ]

[Nonsense, what else can we eat if we don’t eat noodles in Hedong? The best food here is noodles. Oh, and the aged vinegar here is also good. It has a brewing history of two to three thousand years.]

[Oh, I know this, it’s Shanxi aged vinegar, a well-known brand.]

[Yes, Shanxi aged vinegar is one of the representatives, but Shanxi aged vinegar was brewed by a man named Wang Laifu during the Shunzhi period of the early Qing Dynasty, so we have no chance to taste it. ]

[Speaking of vinegar, Mr. Bai Juyi once wrote a poem specifically for it: "In the palace of immortality, I compete for the title of the best. When I am old and my teeth are weak, I find the tea too bland. Without a bond, who can I rely on? The vinegar tastes twice as sour as the sweet."]

[Oh my, how come he is everywhere? He can recite a poem about anything. However, the meaning of this poem is quite good. It is an acrostic poem. If you read the first word of each line together, it means Elder Wuji.]

【Mr. Bai is still a talented person after all. 】

[After all, he is the one who can write the Song of Everlasting Regret, so how can he not have talent? On the other hand, this old guy doesn't have more than two years to live. I'll go see him again after some time. This is probably the last time we'll see each other.]

[Yeah, by the way, it is said that this vinegar can cure diseases. When we go to see Mr. Bai, let's bring some to him.]

[Ah, there is such a saying. It is said that Wu Zetian once had a poor health, often suffering from abdominal distension and gas stagnation, and lost her appetite. The imperial doctors tried every possible way to cure her, but none of them worked. One imperial doctor was even beheaded for this.]

[Later, a Taoist priest presented Wu Zetian with aged vinegar. After eating it, Wu Zetian's appetite was greatly improved and her body became healthy. From then on, Wu Zetian always placed a pot of vinegar beside her when she ate. This habit spread to the people, and the legend of drinking vinegar to cure diseases was born.]

[However, this vinegar cannot cure Mr. Bai's illness. After all, he is already over 70 years old.]

[Huanyan knows, but it's better than nothing, and we can't go there empty-handed.]

[Yes, but isn't vinegar too little? How about we get a few bags of Hedong flour to bring with us? ]

[Well, that's not necessary. The reason why I brought vinegar as a gift is because there is a historical allusion. Bringing flour is not a good idea. If I'm not careful, I'll be laughed at.]

[Tsk, intellectuals are such a hassle.]

As they were talking, they had already arrived at Quwo near Jinzhou. This place was the fief of Quwo Huanshu, the younger clan (brother's lineage), when the State of Jin [Quwo replaced Yi].

To the northwest of Quwo is Yi, the capital of the Jin State's main clan (my brother's lineage). If you want to enter or exit Yi, Quwo is the only way to get in and out of it.

[Tsk, during the Warring States Period, I didn't come here to take a look, but in the Tang Dynasty, I came here instead. Is this like eating shit before it's hot? ]

[Master! Lv has noticed that you have been talking more and more irrelevantly recently. You are a major general after all, the head of the Monster Currency Inspection Team. You should always pay attention to your image when you are outside.]

[Uh, this is a colloquialism, a colloquialism! Although it has some shitty and piss-like words, it is a serious colloquialism! ]

[Alas, is this really the case? How come I have never heard of such a saying? ]

[Zhiwei, this is true. You have wronged the master. I will teach you a lesson that day.]

[Ah? Is that so? I'm so sorry, my lord. Please forgive me for my advice. As for the remedial lessons in this area, forget it. At most, I won't talk about it anymore. ]

[Hehe, Xiao Zhiwei, you still have a lot to learn. ]

[Yes, yes, let's go, Master.]

Before the city gates were closed, everyone rushed to Jinzhou City and found an abandoned temple to stay in. The reason they gave up the comfortable inn and chose the dilapidated and leaky temple instead was because they did not plan to stay there for long.

Chapter 315: Death of Magu

According to Shen Yuelan, this was to help the Time Management Bureau reduce some of its workload, but in the eyes of Xiao Yuhuan and others, this was more like preparation for the arrival of the immortal Magu.

After all, they didn't believe that Shen Yuelan would be so kind as to help reduce the workload of the Time Management Bureau. But it was just a meeting, was it necessary to find such a desolate place?

[Okay, the three of you can go around the area when you have time these two days. There should be a warehouse with Buddha statues here. I need to take a good rest. I have been very busy these past two days.]

After Shen Yuelan finished speaking, she immediately crawled into the warm bed that Shen Huanyan had prepared for her, and then fell into a deep sleep without any defense. Everyone looked at each other, smiled knowingly, shook their heads, and then went about their own business in unison.

Lu Zhiwei turned back into the necklace and naturally got into Shen Yuelan's bed, continuing to be her personal bodyguard; Shen Huanyan went to the side room and began to prepare today's dinner.

Xiao Yuhuan did not stay in the yard. She planned to set up a protective formation outside the ruined temple in order to trip up the immortal named Magu. If she wanted to come over and reconcile, it would depend on whether she had the ability to do so.

Speaking of her and Magu, there are actually some small grudges between the two. When they were still in the Yaodaoji army, their team received a mission to escort confidential documents.

Originally, a complete team of demon sword princesses was more than enough to handle this matter, but this immortal named Magu also brought out some Yao'ezi at the same time.

Although the matter was not big, someone had to deal with it, so their team had to split up four people to go and handle Magu's case, including Xiao Yuhuan, Wen Yuying and Lu Lingjia.

They originally thought that this was just an ordinary mission that couldn't be more ordinary, but they didn't expect that bad news would come soon after.

A reactionary force that had been planning for a long time set up an ambush on the route that the escort team had to take. Because the troops were divided in advance, many of the team's tactics could not be carried out smoothly, and they were quickly defeated by the well-prepared enemy. In the end, only two people escaped back to the camp alive.

Among the four people who died in the battle, there were some friends and seniors who had a very good relationship with Xiao Yuhuan. This made Xiao Yuhuan and others feel resentful and resentful about this matter.

After years of investigation and pursuit, the criminals who participated in the attack have been almost killed by them. The only remaining connected person is Magu, whom they met not long ago.

Although Shen Yuelan's concerns have some truth to them, without some background, this immortal named Magu would definitely not have survived to this day, but when it comes to revenge, it is absolutely impossible to accomplish anything if you keep looking back and forth.

Of course, Xiao Yuhuan had no intention of causing trouble for Shen Yuelan. She did not plan to do it herself. Although Lin Jia had passed away, there were more than just the two of them who survived in their team. As long as she confirmed Magu's whereabouts, someone would naturally come to deal with her.

This defensive formation is used for this. As for whether anyone will come to cause trouble for them in the future, well, who doesn't have some background? Her Deputy Director Wen will help them handle everything.

Shen Yuelan was not aware of Xiao Yuhuan's little thoughts, but even if she knew, she would probably turn a blind eye to it. After all, Magu and Gu Tu were different.

She and Gu Tu had no conflicts of interest worth mentioning, so accepting her was not a difficult thing to accept. What's more, the food Gu Tu cooked was so delicious and she was so nice.

But Magu is different. Not to mention that Magu almost took her life, just because of this person's notorious past, Shen Yuelan would never dare to accept her. After all, you don't know how many people this guy has grudges against.

On a dark and windy night, when murders and arson were taking place, in a place unknown to Shen Yuelan, a long-planned ambush was slowly unfolding.

No matter how fierce the sword and axe fights were several kilometers away, it had nothing to do with the few people huddled together for warmth in the dilapidated little temple, and this was exactly what Shen Yuelan wanted to see.

On the second day in Jinzhou, Shen Yuelan received the news of Magu's death, along with Gu Tu's request for Shen Yuelan's help in collecting the body.

[Yue Lan, I know there was a feud between you two, and even her death was planned by you. You don't have to be surprised how I knew it. For some things, it's just a matter of whether we want to know, not whether we can know it.]

[In fact, this person named Magu has been jumping around for many years, and has offended countless people. We are not surprised by her death, and no one even intends to investigate. But I still hope that you can help her collect her body.]

[It's not because of anything else, it's just that the boss behind Magu is too high-ranking, even Hua Liluo and I have to give her some respect. Although she didn't pursue the matter of Magu's death, it doesn't mean she won't pay attention. ]

[The purpose of collecting Magu's body is to show respect to the people behind her and to save her face. Otherwise, no matter whether this matter has anything to do with us or not, we will offend her because of this.]

After listening to Gu Tu's advice, Shen Yuelan reluctantly led everyone to collect Magu's body. Although she was not very happy, she also knew that Gu Tu was right. There was no need to increase potential enemies because of such a small matter.

But when they arrived at the scene, they found that there was no body to collect, because the scene was too tragic and it would be easily blocked if they described it too much.

The people were helpless and could only simply collect the snow shells stained with Magu's blood and bury them in a relatively quiet place so that they could rest in peace.

After doing all this, Shen Yuelan keenly noticed some changes in the environment around her, and she felt a lot more relaxed all over, which made Shen Yuelan break out in a cold sweat.

[Damn, there really is a big shot watching me. If I had known I would have been more serious when I was restrained just now.]

Shen Yuelan told Gu Tu about her concerns, but the other party said that it didn't matter. He only cared about the result of burying him in peace. As for how Shen Yuelan and the others buried him, it was not very important.

In fact, Magu had been chopped into such a horrible shape. The boss was quite satisfied that Shen Yuelan could think of burying her in this way.

After ending the Magu incident, Shen Yuelan returned to her warm bed once again, but this time she was not sleepy. Although she did not admit Gu Tu's conclusion, she did promote the development of the siege and killing of Magu and provided convenience for it.

Chapter 316 Goodbye Lotte

[Tsk, it's really hard to kill someone who's protected by a big boss. I've cleared myself so cleanly, but I was still noticed. I'm beginning to doubt how the other world was established. Aren't these remnants of heaven too arrogant? ]

Shen Yuelan's dissatisfaction, along with the causes and consequences of the Magu incident, were soon delivered to Hua Liluo's desk. The contents made Hua Liluo sigh for the first time. This was the result of not settling things cleanly back then.

In order to unify the entire old heaven as quickly as possible, the high-level officials of the inner world made some compromises and concessions to the remaining remnants of immortals and gods, including some old immortals and gods with high status and strong strength and their followers.

Over the years, as their strength gradually recovered, these remnants of the previous dynasty not only did not behave themselves as they did before, but instead began to reach out to the surface world, starting to act recklessly, and occasionally even causing vicious incidents of attacking civil servants in the inner world, and Magu was one of the best among them.
