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

Shen Yuelan was very envious of this. Mi Yuan suggested to Shen Yuelan more than once that she should like something, but what she didn't know was that Shen Yuelan had actually been in the industry she liked for a long time.

Shen Yuelan loved collecting ancient coins in her previous life and even lost her life for it. She still likes it now, otherwise why would she agree to hold a metal coin beauty pageant?

It’s just that when a hobby becomes a job, the so-called “hobbies and interests” are no longer as interesting as they used to be.

If hobbies are compared to girlfriends, and work is compared to marriage, then Shen Yuelan's hobbies, after becoming work, may come over and slap Shen Yuelan, and condemn Shen Yuelan:

[You don't love me as much as you say. Let's get a divorce.]

After saying this, she left Shen Yuelan angrily.

Mi Yuan was convinced by Shen Yuelan's analogy. After all, she had worked as a university teacher for a period of time, and those days were indeed the time when her passion for history faded the fastest.

Among the many stories of Mi Yuan, the only one that concerned Shen Yuelan was that they had once passed by a demon queen-level beauty who looked very difficult to deal with in Chengdu Prefecture.

What Mi Yuan meant by "not easy to deal with" was that the guy seemed to be on the verge of collapse and turning into a demon. With the other party turning into a berserker, Mi Yuan felt that it would be difficult for him to protect the few demon sword ladies around him.

So, on the night they met the evil demon, Mi Yuan and her group fled from Chengdu Prefecture to Meizhou. Otherwise, according to their normal itinerary, they would have to stay in Chengdu Prefecture for about a week before leaving.

Ever since listening to Mi Yuan's description of the enchantress, Shen Yuelan has been unable to sleep or eat, always feeling that danger is approaching. For this reason, Shen Yuelan even made a special call to Gan Yuelong in an attempt to seek comfort.

But Gan Yuelong's words made Shen Yuelan's mood fall to the bottom.

[What? You said Mi Yuan met a demon who was about to collapse in Chengdu? Then why are you still here? Run away quickly. Have you forgotten what I told you? ]

[That thing is a bomb. When it develops to a certain extent, it will definitely cause an accident. Especially since it is a demon king, it will cause a natural disaster! ]

Chapter 69: Departure from Baidi

After hearing Gan Yuelong's warning, Shen Yuelan jumped up from the bed instantly, and the others acted even faster than Shen Yuelan after hearing the news, and even packed their bags.

Shen Yuelan didn't have time to complain, and fled overnight with the remaining twenty or so people. Fortunately, she had found a boatman in advance and they could set off at any time.

The natural disaster in Shu could not be a flood or plague. The most likely one was an earthquake. If Shen Yuelan and others encountered such a disaster, although they would not die, they would be seriously injured.

As for the evil demon, there is no need to worry about her. The disaster is caused by the negative energy that escapes when the evil demon dies. The time when the disaster occurs also means the time when the demon will die.

When everyone arrived at the riverside, the boatman was still sleeping on the passenger boat. However, seeing that the guests were so anxious to leave, he did not say much. After all, the lady surnamed Shen had given too much.

When the group was sailing near the upper reaches of Fuzhou (Fuling), there was a sudden tremor, but it was not severe and many people did not feel it at all. By the time they arrived at Fuzhou City to replenish supplies.

Only then did I learn from Gan Yuelong that a major earthquake occurred in Lingzhou (Wuzhong), Xiazhou (Yulin), Huanqing Road and other places west of Tongguan.

Fortunately, although the affected area was large, the damage to the people was relatively limited. Only some houses collapsed, and there was no news of any major casualties.

Shen Yuelan sighed softly. It turned out that the enchantress went to the northwest. It seemed that she wanted to go to a sparsely populated place and die there. She was indeed a kind-hearted enchantress, but it was a pity that the world was full of malice towards her.

It would be even more pitiful if she had worked in the other world. Even though she was abandoned by her master and treated maliciously by the other world, she still treated the world as before and maintained kindness towards people.

Allowing such a kind-hearted beauty to die so tragically is the biggest dereliction of duty on the part of the Monetary Authority.

When Shen Yuelan told Gan Yuelong her guess, there was silence on the other end of the phone for a very long time. Neither Gan Yuelong nor Si Ziqin and Ning Chenge who were beside her dared to respond.

[Sorry, Yue Lan, I don't know if your guess is true, because I don't dare to confirm this fact. After all, if it is true, then she might have been a partner of our colleague.]

Shen Yuelan realized that the blow this incident had on Gan Yuelong and others seemed to be greater than she had imagined. Therefore, Shen Yuelan did not discuss the matter in depth with them.

But Shen Yuelan really wanted to know the identity of the enchantress, so she secretly entrusted Meng Anran to take two colleagues to investigate the Lingzhou area, and allowed them to fly at night.

Shen Yuelan and others went to Kuizhou (Fengjie) downstream of Peizhou to wait for news. Kuizhou was the location of Baidi City in Li Bai's "Early Departure from Baidi City", and it was also the place where the soul of Emperor Zhaolie of the Han Dynasty returned.

[I left Baidi in the morning amidst the colorful clouds, and returned to Jiangling a thousand miles away in one day. The monkeys on both sides of the river kept crying, and the light boat had already passed through thousands of mountains! ]

The reason why Shen Yuelan chose to wait here was because he valued the strategic position of this place, which allowed him to reach Jiangling Prefecture (Jingzhou) in one day. From the perspective of the administrative divisions of the Song Dynasty alone, Shen Yuelan and others had not left Shu before they arrived in Xiazhou (Yichang).

But from the perspective of administrative divisions in later generations, the land of Kuizhou was already considered the end of the Sichuan-Chongqing region. Beyond the Wushan Mountains was the Chu River.

The seat of Kuizhou in the Song Dynasty was the famous Baidi City, and the story of Liu Bei entrusting his son to the care of others actually took place in Yong'an City near Baidi City.

It may be that Baidi City sounds much more domineering than Yong'an City. Therefore, later generations often say that Liu Bei entrusted his son to Baidi rather than Yong'an.

However, this did not affect Shen Yuelan's climbing up the city and appreciating the cultural charm of this place. Baidi City is located at the western entrance of Kuimen, surrounded by mountains and rivers, and has a high position and deep ground. Successive dynasties have operated here, thus forming a unique appearance of cities within cities and cities within cities.

More than two hundred years later, the Southern Song Dynasty relied on important mountain cities such as Baidi City and Diaoyu City to resist decades of attacks from the western front of the Mongol Empire. Therefore, Baidi City is also known as the [Four Vehicles] of the Southern Song Dynasty and the [Eight Pillars] of eastern Sichuan.

It is a place that guards the Three Gorges and protects Bachu. It is a place that is truly fought for by military strategists. Countless soldiers have shed their blood here, turning the surging river into a sea of blood.

This place is not too close to Jingzhou, but it can be reached in one day by going downstream. It will just take some time to return. Thinking that the demon sword princesses have been eating Shu cuisine with me for a long time, it is time to let them change their taste.

Therefore, the team was divided into three, with Xuanyuan Minghong leading the team to Jiangling Prefecture and Fu Xi leading the team to Xiangyang Prefecture, to separately investigate for information about the contract money. It would be even better if they could find it directly.

Shen Yuelan stayed in Baidi City with a few of her own concubines, waiting for news from Meng Anran and the others. More than half a month had passed since Shen Yuelan and the others parted in Fuzhou. According to their flying speed, they should have found out the results by now and were ready to return.

Oh, damn it! Shen Yuelan, who was admiring the magnificence of Baidi City, suddenly realized that she had forgotten that she had no job. She did not leave a demon sword girl by her side to serve as her mouthpiece. What a mistake.

Yue Lan was really sad that she couldn't get any gossip, but the money had already been spent and there was no way to take it back. She could only learn wood carving skills from the carpenter next door to kill time.

The wood carvings in this area became quite famous in later generations, but they had not yet reached any scale in the Song Dynasty. However, they are still worth learning.

Its main material is [sunken wood] also known as [ebony]. Yes, it is the thing that various ghosts like to live in in cultivation novels. However, it is actually just a kind of carbonized wood that is buried underground and is a bit old.

However, Shen Yuelan didn't do anything serious after learning the skills. She used the skills she learned from her neighbor's dad to carve a room full of figurines out of gloomy wood.

The carpenter father was so angry that he called Shen Yuelan's tricks a trick, but the old man was retorted by Shen Yuelan with just one word.

[Humph, you say I have some peculiar skills, but I learned them from you, so your skills are also peculiar skills! ]

The old man was so angry at Shen Yuelan that his face turned red. He left cursing and secretly took away a figurine of an action movie teacher that Shen Yuelan had carved based on her memories of her previous life. Oh, it's true that men stay young until they die.

However, Shen Yuelan had no intention of coming back. This old man was also a poor man. He was a widower. His wife died early and he had no money to remarry. He had been alone for so many years.

Shen Yuelan was also a man, so he could naturally understand the old man's pain. He thought of the figurine as a reward for him teaching him the wood carving skills.

Chapter 70: The Old Friend and the Demon

In addition to those casual figures, Shen Yuelan also carved some serious things. She carved a scaled-down full-body painted wooden sculpture for each of Huanyan and the other two and gave them as gifts.

The three were naturally delighted after receiving the wood carvings. Seeing the reactions of the three fairies, Shen Yuelan wiped her nose proudly. It was not like she had not sent them gifts before, including her own calligraphy and paintings. There were several boxes of them piled up in the small warehouse of these three people.

Although the things are good, they can't keep giving the same things over and over again. After a while, they lose their novelty. This time, Shen Yuelan finally learned something new and can change things up.

There are wood carvings that can be given away, and naturally there are also those that cannot be given away. Compared with the wood carvings of Huanyan and the others that look quite cheerful, the wood carvings of Lao Zhao, Zhao Yuanxian, Luo Ning'an, Zhao Yuanlian, and Du Shiyan are more solemn and dignified, and the details are handled more meticulously.

This is a wooden sculpture that Shen Yuelan planned to use as a memorial tablet for several people, so she put a lot of thought into it. Each statue is the most beautiful and handsome moment in Shen Yuelan's memory.

However, when Shen Yuelan was carving the statue of Luo Ning'an, she accidentally dropped the statue to the ground when she turned around to get the paint, and one of Luo Ning'an's arms was broken. Shen Yuelan stared at the statue on the ground for a long time.

Finally, she gave a bitter smile. It was okay. After all, the broken-armed Luo Ning'an standing in the enemy's warship was the most beautiful image in her memory. So Shen Yuelan gently picked up Luo Ning'an's statue and began to polish it again.

Later, when Su Shang and the others were appreciating these wood carvings, they all thought that Luo Ning'an's statue was the most beautiful made by Shen Yuelan. They looked at the Luo Ning'an wood carvings that were exactly the same as in their memories.

Shen Yuelan naturally knew that she was her best work, but the creation process of this kind of work was a bit too painful. Shen Yuelan felt that if it was not necessary, she should not torture herself like that.

Meng Anran and others came to Kuizhou in early May. After a welcome party for them, Shen Yuelan finally got the news she wanted and took a rotten and somewhat crispy copper coin from them.

Shen Yuelan held the copper coin carefully and studied it for a long time before she realized that there were four small words "Da Kang Tong Bao" faintly written on the coin. It turned out to be a Liao coin.

Meng Anran didn't even dare to breathe as he whispered to Shen Yuelan that the demon girl to whom this broken Liao coin belonged had indeed belonged to a former senior official of the Monetary Administration Bureau.

However, that person had been reincarnated for some years. Meng Anran secretly checked and found that it seemed to be a senior named Ouyang Qing. She did join the company at the same time as Gan Yuelong and the others.

Shen Yuelan didn't expect that both she and Sister Yuelong had hit the nail on the head. The dead person turned out to be the enchanting beauty they knew. Shen Yuelan slapped herself lightly, thinking she was such a jinx.

Meng Anran told Shen Yuelan that after they confirmed this fact, they didn't dare to make a single phone call and ran back without saying a word, for fear that Gan Yuelong and the others would know about it. Shen Yuelan was the first person to know about this.

Although Shen Yuelan felt that it would be difficult to hide the matter from Sister Yuelong and the others if she secretly sent people to investigate, what if Sister Yuelong and the others did not want to delve into the matter further? Shen Yuelan wanted to take a gamble.

Shen Yuelan gave Meng Anran and the others a few newly drawn Qin King talismans as a reward for this matter, and then let them go back to the house to rest, preparing to set off for Jiangling Prefecture on a certain day to meet up with Xuanyuan Minghong and the others.

But what caught Shen Yuelan off guard was that that night, she was pulled out of bed by Gan Yuelong and Wan Chuan while she was sleeping soundly. Shen Yuelan was stunned. What was going on?

Seeing Gan Yuelong's red eyes, Shen Yuelan thought that her secret investigation had been exposed. When she was about to admit her mistake and talk to Gan Yuelong about the matter, she was hugged tightly by Gan Yuelong.

It turned out that Gan Yuelong rushed here not because of the matter of his old friend, the Enchantress, but for himself. After learning that Shen Yuelan and the others had encountered the Enchantress who was about to collapse, Gan Yuelong immediately started to head south.

When Shen Yuelan contacted her in Fuzhou, Gan Yuelong was packing up and preparing to leave.

She left the small pavilion in Tokyo to Ningchen Pavilion. Anyway, the enchanting concubine of Ningchen Pavilion had returned, so it would not be a problem to ask her to help her look after the house for a while.

The reason why she came so late was that she was in a hurry and did not call to confirm carefully. She rushed to Fuzhou first, and after finding nothing, she called a few Yaodaoji and asked about their locations.

After confirming that they were in Jiangling Prefecture, he rushed there again, but found nothing again. Finally, he learned from Xuanyuan Minghong that Shen Yuelan was still in Kuizhou.

This time, they finally found them before Shen Yuelan and the others left. After listening to Gan Yuelong's experience, Shen Yuelan hugged her with some heartache, and Huanyan also hugged Wanchuan in a similar manner. Mi Yuan and Su Shang quickly got up and got hot water and new clothes for the two to change.

After the two of them had packed up, Shen Yuelan arranged for them to rest first. If they had anything to say, they could talk after they had a good rest tomorrow. But having said that, Shen Yuelan didn't know whether she should tell Gan Yuelong about Ouyang Qing tomorrow.

After seeing that Shen Yuelan was fine, Gan Yuelong slept very soundly and slept until the next afternoon. However, Shen Yuelan looked much more haggard. She had been entangled in that trivial matter for the whole night and could not sleep all night.

But when she actually saw Gan Yuelong, Shen Yuelan felt it was necessary to tell her. After all, she was her friend, and even a closer friend. She had the right to know everything.

After Gan Yuelong had his meal, Shen Yuelan carefully handed the Dakang Tongbao to Gan Yuelong. Gan Yuelong was a little confused at first. Why was she giving him a Liao coin? Uh, a Dakang Tongbao?

Hiss, this thing hasn't been cast yet, right? Let me see what's going on.

Gan Yuelong didn't know until he saw it, and he understood it instantly. This was actually the remains of an old friend. Gan Yuelong stroked the Liao coin gently with trembling hands.

[Is this the remains of the enchantress from a while ago? ]

Shen Yuelan didn't dare to look at her, but just nodded silently. Gan Yuelong sighed softly. She didn't know what was going on at the moment. This little thing didn't listen to her after all and sent people to Lingzhou to investigate.

As for the results of the investigation, they are now in Gan Yuelong's hands. Gan Yuelong had thought about who the dead beauty in Lingzhou was, but she couldn't figure it out no matter how hard she tried.

The enchantress who died in Lingzhou turned out to be Ouyang Liaoge, the enchantress of his ex-girlfriend Ouyang Qing. However, she was capable of not wanting to cause trouble to anyone.

The expression on Gan Yuelong's face changed like a palette for a moment. She wanted to cry and laugh at the same time. The reason she wanted to cry was that this guy was indeed an acquaintance of hers, and Gan Yuelong couldn't bear to see her die miserably.

She wanted to laugh because it was her master Ouyang Qing who dumped her first. This guy never spoke up for her, just like Ouyang Qing who liked men. This made Gan Yuelong very sad.

When Shen Yuelan learned that the two had such a relationship, the desire to be an insider instantly took over, and she began to pester Gan Yuelong to tell her about her glorious history.

The six or seven little heads outside the window seemed to have smelled something. They all lay at the door and looked at Gan Yuelong in unison.

Chapter 71: Raising a Tiger to Cause Trouble

Gan Yuelong was speechless for a moment. The little bit of sadness he had for the passing of his old friend was washed away by these guys. Gan Yuelong rubbed his temples.

But in the end, he very lovingly agreed to everyone's request and briefly described to everyone his love story with Ouyang Qing.

Just as Meng Anran found out, Ouyang Qing and she were civil servants of the other world who joined the job at the same time, but Ouyang Qing went to the Monetary Administration Bureau, while she went to the Currency Inspection Brigade.

To be honest, at the beginning, the two of them didn't have much in common. They just knew each other's names. But later, because of a certain mission, they were required to dress up as a couple to carry out the mission, and then they became familiar with each other.

Later, when they were carrying out the mission in the surface world again, their feelings for each other quickly heated up, and they turned their fake play into reality and became real lovers, and this lasted for thousands of years.

During this period, the enchanting beauty Ouyang Liaoge was born. Later, it was not known whether it was because the two had no children or their feelings had faded and they no longer loved each other, but Ouyang Qing actually took the initiative to break up with Gan Yuelong.

Gan Yuelong found it hard to accept at first, so he secretly went to find out the reason, and thus got acquainted with Si Ziqin and Ning Chen Ge, two bad friends.

It turned out that this woman had fallen in love with the target of the mission, a duke from the outer world, during her most recent mission, and even gave birth to a child for him.

Gan Yuelong was so angry. It was obvious that she had been NTRS recently, so she completely cut off contact with her. Later, she heard that the woman had lived enough years and was reincarnated into the world where the Duke was.

When she left, she didn't even ask Gan Yuelong a single question. The enchantress she raised personally suffered the same fate. She didn't know where that woman Ouyang Qing had ended up in. However, Gan Yuelong didn't want to know.

This time, she specifically told Shen Yuelan not to investigate anything related to Ouyang Qing. Shen Yuelan smiled and said that she knew it.

After Gan Yuelong had rested enough, everyone left Kuizhou and went east along the river in the direction of Jiangling Prefecture. Sure enough, in less than a day, everyone arrived at Jiangling Prefecture. Li Bai was not deceiving me.

After Shen Yuelan and her group arrived at Jiangling Prefecture, they followed Gan Yuelong to find the base of Xuanyuan Minghong's team and joined them. When they arrived at Jiangling Prefecture, which is also the location of ancient Jingzhou, Mi Yuan became visibly excited.

Although Jiangling Prefecture was not as favored by the dynasty as Jingzhao Prefecture (Chang'an) and Henan Prefecture (Luoyang), many princely regimes were established here.

The most famous was the Chu State, one of the Seven Kingdoms of the Warring States Period. It had been established in Ying (Jiangling) for more than 400 years until it was forced to leave after the Qin State's "God of Killing Bai Qi" flooded its secondary capital and burned its ancestral tombs.

After that, Emperor He of Qi in the Southern Dynasties, Emperor Yuan of Liang, the separatist regime of Western Liang, and Xiao Xin, the uprising lord at the end of the Sui Dynasty, all made this place their capital. Now it seems that the Xiao family of Lanling has always had a special liking for Jiangling Prefecture and especially likes to make Jiangling Prefecture their capital.

Seeing that Mi Yuan really wanted to go out for a walk, Shen Yuelan agreed to her wish and let her go out to play. However, she also gave her a task, asking her to buy some local specialties when she came back in the evening.

Hearing this, Mi Yuan happily hugged Shen Yuelan and gave her a big kiss. After promising to do it, she ran away. Gan Yuelong didn't say anything when she saw this, but just smiled faintly at Mi Yuan's back, but her smile was somewhat meaningful.

Shen Yuelan did not notice this, but Su Chang did. However, Gan Yuelong saw that Su Chang was staring at her, so she quietly walked to Su Chang's side, waiting for her to ask questions. Su Chang did not hesitate to see this, and looked sharply in the direction where Mi Yuan disappeared and asked:

[What? Is there something wrong with Mi Yuan? Does she need to be killed? Huanyan and I can do it now!]

Gan Yuelong was stunned for a moment when he heard this. Seeing that Su Shang was indeed a little angry, he touched her head and said in a soothing tone:

[It's okay. The contract between that person and Yue Lan is real. As long as the contract is real, we have many ways to deal with her.]

[You don't have to be so nervous. She is an old acquaintance of mine and a decent person. I just want to see why she is willing to lower her status and run to Yue Lan to be an ordinary little enchantress.]

[By the way, keep this a secret for now, don’t tell Yue Lan, just be careful and get along with her normally, I’ll take care of the rest.]

Su Chang nodded when she heard that and stopped paying attention to the matter. Seeing Shen Yuelan coming out to greet her, she ran over and hung on to Shen Yuelan's back, refusing to let go.

Gan Yuelong looked at this heartwarming scene and unconsciously revealed an aunt-like smile. She glanced in the direction where the man disappeared and sighed in her heart:

[I hope you won't let me down, Miss [Mi Yuan].]
