[When you were in the outer world, you didn't notice that almost all the people who died in accidents had money on them. Don't refute me, electronic currency is also a currency.]

Listening to Sister Yuelong's description, Shen Yuelan almost dropped her jaw in shock. My goodness, according to what you said, everyone carries a time bomb. Shen Yuelan was so frightened that her face turned pale.

Seeing this, Gan Yuelong smiled and said:

[Hehe, what are you afraid of? It's not that easy for a goblin to become a spirit. We have only captured 20 currency evil goblins in tens of thousands of years. Ordinary people may not encounter one in their lifetime. What's more, you have already experienced the feeling of being killed by copper coins, right? ]

[Because ordinary people have less money, right? Really, do you have to discriminate against people in this kind of situation? ]

[What else do you mean I was killed by the copper coin? It was clearly me who accidentally choked myself to death. The nature of these two ways of dying are completely different.]

Shen Yuelan protested indignantly.

What is the difference?

Yuelong asked with great interest.

[Uh... Saying that I was killed by copper coins, doesn't that make me look like a loser? ]

Yue Lan replied weakly.

[Ah, right, right, as if choking yourself to death wouldn't make you a bad player] Gan Yuelong's sharp retort immediately caused laughter in the room. Everyone was laughing so hard that they were shaking with laughter. Only Shen Yuelan, who was angry, was left in a state of helplessness and rage.

Chapter 10: First Action

[Ah… um…, okay, I won’t tease you anymore. I have already dealt with the affairs here. We can set off at any time to deal with the fugitives in your jurisdiction. ]

After dealing with the mountain of documents, even Gan Yuelong looked a little tired, but she still forced herself to cheer up and planned to accompany Shen Yuelan.

Shen Yuelan felt a little distressed when she saw this, and suggested that they could go eat and rest before setting off again. However, Gan Yuelong rejected Shen Yuelan's proposal and said:

[It doesn't matter. What we are going to deal with this time is the weak ones I just mentioned. We don't need to use swords and guns.]

[We just need to witness history, be careful, and catch it inadvertently. It should be easy to find the answer with your eyes.]

[Relax a little, just treat it as a trip. When the time comes, I will be lazy and take a break. We can also eat there and taste the specialties of the world. Isn't it much better than eating a work meal here? ]

[Okay, I'm convinced. Then let's go to that outer world? What is the true form of the coin monster we captured? ]

After hearing that the task was easy, Shen Yuelan and the other two kids followed Gan Yuelong happily, asking questions from time to time.

[Well, I don't think I've given you a mission-specific phone yet, right? Yours is a command phone, and it takes some time to make. I'll just explain it this time. Once the work phone is delivered, you can see for yourself.]

[The place we are going to is the surface world where you lived before your death, but the time will be moved forward to the Northern Song Dynasty. The coin monster we captured this time is called Tianxi Tongbao.]

[Northern Song Dynasty? Can we still travel through time and space and interfere with the past at will? ]

[Of course not. We are here to correct the situation and arrest fugitives, not to interfere, let alone arbitrarily!]

[The other world is in charge of everything. Since there is a currency management bureau, there is naturally a time management bureau. The dimension of their other world is different from ours, so it is generally difficult to see them, but this does not mean that they do not exist. ]

[But... But, this feels a bit confusing. Since there is a Time Management Bureau that specializes in managing time, why can we get involved? ] Shen Yuelan scratched her head.

[Haha, of course it’s because we have a division of labor. For example, if the long river of time is compared to a stream, the Tianxi Tongbao that escapes into it is the stubborn stone that cuts off the stream and diverts the water flow. Our job is to move the stone that blocks the stream, and the Time Management Bureau is responsible for redirecting the water flow back to the correct river channel.]

[Oh, I see. We are responsible for clearing obstacles and they are responsible for repairing them, right?]

[Yes, very smart.]

[Hey, I have another question. Are all the coin monsters that have escaped into history under our control? ]

[Of course not. The Time Management Bureau will manage different time periods in slices. For example, the one corresponding to the Northern Song Dynasty is the Monster Coin Inspection Team of the Northern Song Dynasty, but the escaped coin monster is from our period.]

[According to the rules, in this situation, the Time Management Bureau will notify the Monster Coin Inspection Team of the time and space where the fleeing coin monster originally belonged, that is, us, to go to the Northern Song Dynasty to capture the coin monster and bring it back to our time and space, instead of notifying the Monster Coin Inspection Team of the Northern Song Dynasty.]

[On the contrary, if the demon coins of the Northern Song Dynasty escaped to our time and space, the demon coin inspection team of the Northern Song Dynasty would be responsible for capturing them without notifying us.]

[Oh, I see, I see. Whoever's child is the one responsible for bringing him back and fixing him up, right?]

[Haha, right, I didn't realize you're quite good at summarizing. Why don't you try writing a summary first?]

[Oh, Sister Yuelong, you've assigned me another task! ]

While the two were talking, everyone had already arrived at the Field Transmission Department, where people were coming in and out one after another, and it looked quite lively. Gan Yuelong introduced to Xiao Li that the Field Transmission Department consisted of three transmission rooms: the outer and inner world transmission room, the cross-time and space transmission room, and the inner world transmission room.

They were going to the inter-dimensional teleportation room today. When they walked in, they found that the room was much larger than Shen Yuelan had imagined, with more than ten teleportation doors installed inside. Shen Yuelan and the two little guys followed Gan Yuelong happily, looking around curiously.

Seeing this, Gan Yuelong shook his head in amusement and threw a bag of coins to Shen Yuelan, explaining that time and space teleportation requires an anchor point. Money, which exists in every period, is the best anchor point.

Our goal this time is to focus on the period of Emperor Zhenzong of Song Dynasty. We need to go there a little earlier, so we will use the Taiping Tongbao of Emperor Taizong of Song Dynasty. The origin of Tianxi Tongbao began with the encounter between Emperor Zhenzong Zhao Heng and Zhangxian Mingsu Liu E. Liu E entered the Korean residence in the eighth year of Taiping Xingguo, and that was also their first meeting, so the timing was just right.

Shen Yuelan nodded when she heard this, and rummaged through her purse to find a copper coin that was shining with a green luster and had four large official script characters "Taiping Tongbao" written on the front. She placed it on the anchor display table.

The remaining coins were collected by Huanyan. Yes, the enchantresses also had their own storage space, and it was said that every enchantress had one.

The staff guided several people to stand on the conveyor platform and used a cart to bring over three boxes of Song Dynasty silver, each box containing about 3 taels. According to the exchange rate in the early Song Dynasty, one tael of silver was approximately equal to one guan, which is 1000 wen.

The unit prepared a total of 3 million copper coins worth of silver for them, and gave them to Wanchuan and Huanyan to carry respectively. As for why they were not given copper coins but only silver.

This is because the main currency in circulation during the Northern Song Dynasty was still copper coins. The entry of three million copper coins into Northern Song society might have caused a certain impact on the lives of ordinary people in the Northern Song Dynasty. The circulation of equivalent silver into Northern Song society would have less impact, and silver would be more valuable than copper coins.

An ordinary person may not see even one ounce of silver in his or her lifetime, so the number of times it changes hands is relatively rare, making it easy for it to be recovered and corrected by the Time Administration.

As for why they gave so much money, it was because Shen Yuelan and the others might have to spend quite a long time fighting this type of coin monster. It would be bad to ask the members to come back and get more money if they ran out of money. Therefore, they gave more at one time.

After the funds were delivered, the staff pulled over a cart of clothes, which were Song Dynasty costumes for four people. Although silk could hardly be used as currency in the Song Dynasty, clothes made of fine materials were still quite expensive, so the unit also prepared them for several people in advance.

After the four of them put away all the clothes, the relevant preparations were completed. Shen Yuelan hugged Huanyan nervously and held Gan Yuelong's left arm tightly. In Gan Yuelong's helpless look, she started her first cross-time and space pursuit.

Chapter 11: Peace and Prosperity

A white light flashed, and the four of them instantly found themselves in a wilderness, only a few centimeters away from the ground. When they fell, Shen Yuelan screamed in surprise, it was a false alarm.

The expected feeling of dizziness and vomiting did not happen. Except for the feeling just now, it was a very comfortable feeling, which surprised Shen Yuelan.

Gan Yuelong explained:

[Hehe, isn't it different from what you imagined? I was like you at first, thinking that I would feel uncomfortable with teleportation. In fact, if teleported with a living body, that kind of situation would indeed happen. But we are no longer living beings, right? ]

[And now the teleportation technology in the other world is very advanced, it can directly swap the space of two time and space. Anyway, it's just some air, it won't affect anything. The advantage of this transmission method is that it can effectively protect our personal safety. It is much safer than directly teleporting people before. ]

Shen Yuelan was silent after hearing this. Indeed, she had been dead for two years. This body was not fit for human use. After a brief moment of sadness, Shen Yuelan returned to work and asked:

[Is that so? Then what are our identities here? Are we the daughters of a rich family? Or are we the young ladies from a farming family?]

[Neither. Although the status of women in the early Song Dynasty was comparable to that in the Tang Dynasty and was relatively open, men and women got married at a relatively early age. What girl would not marry at our age?]

[We didn’t have any male colleagues with us this time, and it’s very troublesome to identify with the nobles, so when we come to the Song Dynasty, we usually like to pretend to be fairies, traveling alone, which is convenient. If the locals find out something, we can just blame it on the gods. It’s very convenient.]

[Okay, here are the female nun's clothes and certificates, you guys should change into them quickly and put them on directly. My Taoist name is Xuanlong, Yuelan's is Minglan, she is my eldest disciple, Wanchuan's is my second disciple, his Taoist name is Mingchuan, Huanyan is my youngest disciple, his Taoist name is Mingyan, from now on just mention your Taoist name when you meet people.]

[Let's go, this is the far suburbs of Tokyo, let's go find a female Taoist priest nearby, in this world, no one can trust a Taoist priestess without a Taoist priestess.]

The group stopped and walked along the way, not in a hurry. They just met a village woman and asked her about the specific time. They learned that this was the fourth year of Taiping Xingguo, which was also the year when Emperor Taizong of Song established his title of "God of War of Gaoliang River". What a coincidence that it was now April and the Song army was fighting on the Gaoliang River.

However, Shen Yuelan and others had no intention of joining in the fun, and the main thing was to settle down their own residence first. Gan Yuelong said that it was the fourth year of Taipingxingguo, and the heroine of this incident, Liu E, and her ex-husband's brother, should have come from Shu in the past two years.

Four years later, she was sold by her ex-husband and was found by the commander Zhang Qi, who sent her to the palace of King Han Zhao Yuanxiu, where she began her life of being entertained day and night and making counterattacks all the way.

And now she is probably only nine years old. Shen Yuelan was quite surprised to hear that. Wow, she was already married before she was nine years old. If it were according to later laws, people in ancient times would probably have to go to jail.

After hearing Shen Yuelan's complaints, Gan Yuelong lightly swept the floating sink in his hand and said helplessly:

[Do you think that everyone in ancient times could live to be seventy or eighty? Even the emperor might not live to that age. The reality is that forty or fifty years old was considered a long life.]

[Life is only fifty years long, and life expectancy has been shortened by almost twenty to thirty years. Of course, you should get married and have children as early as possible. According to current customs, Mingchuan and Mingyan are at the right age to get married. You are too old to get married, and I am even an old aunt.]

Looking at Gan Yuelong's self-deprecating expression, Shen Yuelan curled her lips. Huh? Shen Yuelan looked at Gan Yuelong's face again, which was white and tender. Shen Yuelan recalled the village woman just now, with a dark face.

Shen Yuelan felt that their appearance was a little too beautiful and young. After Shen Yuelan told Gan Yuelong about her concerns, the latter replied with disdain:

[Remember, Minglan, you are now a fairy. If you don't even know the art of keeping your youth, our nuns may not survive. Tianxi coins have been minted. Don't underestimate the monks in ancient times. Without some real skills, they can't survive.]

Shen Yuelan touched her nose awkwardly, then asked seriously: [Master sister, what are your skills? ]

Gan Yuelong boasted proudly upon hearing this:

[Being old does have some advantages. Although I am not very talented, I know a little about poetry, literature, rituals, music, Taoism, Buddhism, and medicine.]

[We have plenty of time. The time node for returning after the mission is the same as the minute we left, so you can stay here as long as you want. I will teach you when I have nothing to do. What about you? Is there anything you are good at now? ]

[I, well, I haven't learned anything specifically. You know the teaching method of our time. It seems that I have learned everything, but it also seems that I have learned nothing. The only thing that the demon coins brought me is calligraphy and painting. However, these two things are derived from the skills of Emperor Daojun. Is it inappropriate to use them at this time? ]

[Is it exactly the same as Emperor Daojun's handwriting? 】

[The calligraphy is the same, both are Slender Gold Style, but the paintings are a little different, my style is more depressing.] Shen Yuelan puffed out her chest proudly when she said this.

[Well, okay, you are still quite proud, so don't use your calligraphy. I will teach you Yan Zhenqing's calligraphy some other day. You can use your paintings. And remember, the gains brought by the monster coins do not mean that you have learned them. You still need to practice these two things diligently to make them completely your own.]

【Remember, Master Sister! 】

[Speak properly, don't be so frivolous. In addition, in the Song Dynasty, "jiejie" means mother! You should add a prefix before the word "jiejie", like "Gan + jiejie". Don't call it randomly! ]

Shen Yuelan was quite embarrassed when she heard this. My goodness, she had only been in the Song Dynasty for a short while and she almost recognized another mother. Fortunately, she added the prefix. It seems that she has to make up for her historical knowledge before she can travel through time and space again.

As they were talking, they had already reached a dilapidated Taoist temple near the outskirts of Tokyo. Although it was in a dilapidated state, it was large enough and the main building was still intact. After some repairs, they could move in quickly. Moreover, it was far away from the official roads and villages, and was hidden enough for Shen Yuelan and the others to do their work.

So, with everyone's unanimous agreement, Gan Yuelong decided to make this place their residence for the next thirty years. She walked to the entrance of the Taoist temple and slammed hard on the half-remaining door of the temple, trying to call out the Taoist inside.

As a result, with a bang, the remaining half of the door panel was destroyed, and the smoke and dust raised made Gan Yuelong feel frustrated.

[Ah, bah, bah, bah, what a lousy place, really. ]

When she looked back, she saw that Shen Yuelan and the two little ones had already hidden far away. Their cautious look made Gan Yuelong both angry and amused.

At this moment, an old voice came from behind Gan Yuelong.

[Ahem, I didn't know the fairy lady was coming. I'm sorry for not welcoming you. Ahem, the gate is broken. I hope the fairy lady will forgive me.]

Chapter 12: A Bad Start

Gan Yuelong turned around and bowed slightly, returning the greeting:

[I dare not, Master Qianshou, the four of us, the master and his disciples, have come here uninvited, and we hope that Master will tolerate us.]

The visitor was an old Taoist priest, about fifty years old, with completely white hair, and wearing a Taoist robe that was full of patches but very clean. He stood in the doorway. Although he was old, his eyes were still clear. He was definitely not an ordinary person.

Gan Yuelong thought to herself that things were not going well. They had just landed and they had already started off badly. A group of fake fairies had run into a real Taoist priest. But at this moment, they could only bite the bullet and go forward.

At this time, the old man had already begun to ask everyone what they were doing here. After Gan Yuelong and Shen Yuelan, who had come back, exchanged a glance, Gan Yuelong took the initiative to approach the old man, bowed slightly, and replied:

[Master Qianshou, my Taoist name is Xuanlong. Today, four of my disciples passed by this place. We found this place to be deep and quiet, and the Taoist teachings are solemn. It is a treasured place for cultivation. We specially came to ask Master Qianshou if he is willing to sell this place. I am willing to offer three strings of coins as a gift to you. 】

The old man fell silent after hearing this. Although he did not refuse, he did not agree either. He seemed to be still considering it. Gan Yuelong turned around and looked at Shen Yuelan. They both felt that there was little hope. They did not force it. After saluting the old Taoist, they left here and looked for the next home.

But the old Taoist suddenly tried to persuade them to stay. He said that he was old and this place was his only shelter, which he could not sell. But for the same reason, he would not live for many more years. If the fellow Taoists were interested, they could stay here first, and after he passed away, he would give the land and Taoist temple here to all of you.

Gan Yuelong was a little hesitant when she heard the old man's words, not knowing whether to agree or not. Shen Yuelan stood aside, her eyes slightly fixed, her red eyes flashing with a charming light. After staring at the old man for a long time, she slowly spoke:

[The old man is over fifty years old, but still strong and healthy. Ordinary Taoists cannot do this. I'm afraid your identity is not simple, you must be rich or noble. ]

[I am afraid that by then, you will just walk away, but your affairs after death will still be here, and we will all suffer misfortune because of it.]

[Hahaha, the fairy lady is really smart, she can see my background at a glance. Oh, yes, I do have a bad debt behind me. When I am alive, he dare not come, but after I pass away, you will definitely have a disaster.]

[However, from the looks of you all, you all seem to be very strong, so why are you afraid of that thief? ]

[Of course I am not afraid, but it seems unnecessary for us to be involved in this cause and effect for an unrelated person. If you do this, it will not be unfair for you to go to the country. ]

【You...you...! 】

Gan Yuelong and the two little ones all turned their heads, sometimes turning to listen to Shen Yuelan's words, sometimes turning to look at the old man's words, but the more they listened to the witty exchange between the two, the more they understood. What's going on? Did we fast forward just now? Did we miss some important plot?

[Humph, I was indeed rude just now and looked down on you, but you should change your bad temper in the future. Even if the deal doesn't work out, you still have a sense of righteousness. Why do you pick on people and poke their lungs? ]

[Oh, isn't this delivered to my door? I'd rather take advantage of it. In other words, since this is a business, there is no reason to just do the job without paying. Tell me your price.]

Shen Yuelan still maintained a tough attitude.

[What…what are you talking about? How did I come to your door? Didn’t you run over here? Humph, although I have never seen the two fairies’ whereabouts, I have indeed seen the fairy children behind them, and they are now in my hands. ]

[If the fairy lady is willing to help me avoid this disaster, I will give the fairy boy to her, how about that? ]

The old Taoist priest was so angry at what Shen Yuelan said, but seeing that her strength was indeed impressive, he gave in and told her his bargaining chips.

Shen Yuelan's eyes lit up when she heard this. She was not afraid of working overtime, but she was afraid of working for nothing. It would be fine if she was paid. She cleared her throat and said to the Taoist priest: "Let's discuss this first. Please wait a moment."

Shen Yuelan led the three to retreat quickly, squatting in the grove and starting a small meeting. Although the other three did not understand the two people's clever words, they understood that if they worked for the old Taoist, they would get the transformed demon girl.

[Master, what do you mean, will you give me this enchantress?]

[Ha, why are you dragging me into this? Isn't that enchantress an experienced one? Why do you care about him? What are you talking to me about? ]

[But weren't you the captain of the demon currency inspection team during the Northern Song Dynasty? In principle, the demon girl was under your control. If you don't let me go, how can I take it away?]

[Well, that's not the case. Whether she can be taken away depends on whether she has had an impact in the long river of time and whether she has been marked. What I can tell you now is that I have not heard of anyone who has obtained the transformed enchantress during this period. In other words, taking her away will have no impact on history.]

[As long as we can confirm that she has not been marked by us, it will be fine. However, this is not a big problem. If she has not been marked, we can take her away directly. Afterwards, we can tell the Time Management Bureau and let them help us deal with the aftermath.]
