[At that time, Sister Yuelong seemed to have been scolded by Lao Zhao for this, saying that she should take better care of me and teach me something, hehe, ah.]

[At that time, I didn’t understand her. I just thought she was too arrogant in front of Lao Zhao, and that was why she was a little out of tune with us.]

[Now that I recall this memory, I realize that Sister Yuelong is not a cold person. It’s just that she has lived for too long, seen too many things, and her soul is too tired.]

[Everyone wants to live a thousand years or ten thousand years, but only those who have lived to that age know that living too long is also a torture. The endless memories will overwhelm you and make you breathless.]

[Why are the treatments in the other world so good, with everything you want, and yet all those civil servants in the other world regard it as hell and flee without a trace once their term is up?]

[Because that place is really hell, a hell that makes you live in despair. ]

[Why is it that even though Yaodaoji is such a high-risk profession, there are still so many civil servants from the other side who choose to switch careers and become Yaodaoji every year? Because it is the easiest profession to get out of. 】

At this moment, Shen Yuelan in Shen Huanyan's eyes was terrifyingly calm. She used the calmest tone to speak almost crazy words. But Shen Huanyan knew that what her master said was all true.

The longer people live in the inner world, the more they realize how terrifying it is. Shen Huanyan still remembers vividly the evil beauty who died tragically in Lingzhou.

Shen Huanyan didn't believe that the master of the enchantress didn't arrange a retreat for her, but in the end, she still died in a strange land.

Did someone harm her? Of course not. Shen Huanyan had seen the subsequent on-site investigation report when she was helping Shen Yuelan process documents. The report clearly stated that Ouyang Liaoge died of a mental breakdown.

Since then, Shen Huanyan has been imagining her own end all the time. She doesn't know if she will be so miserable. She doesn't want that to be the case, so in Lizhou, Shen Huanyan made such a promise to Shen Yuelan.

If Shen Yuelan left, she would not want to live alone.

Chapter 164 Beach Vacation

No one knew what Gan Yuelong did specifically in the north, and Shen Yuelan did not take the initiative to ask, because judging from the blood on Gan Yuelong's face, it was indeed not a good thing. It was better to have less trouble than more, so it was better not to ask.

Life in the fishing village was relatively comfortable. Every day, Su Chang took her two little followers to hunt on the seabed. Yes, on the seabed.

Because ordinary people cannot reach the extremely high pressure in the deep sea, they can do whatever they want there without worrying about the impact of their actions on history.

However, these three guys have been making a lot of noise recently, and the waves on the beach have never stopped. Gan Yuelong, wearing a swimsuit, lying on a lounge chair, asked lazily.

[Did these three guys go to the sea to perform Nezha Conquers the Dragon King? Why are they making such a fuss? ]

At this moment, everyone is enjoying a comfortable vacation on an uninhabited island in the Bohai Sea. This small island with a lot of sunny beaches was discovered by the three Su Shang sisters when they were adventuring in the sea.

The shipbuilding technology of the Warring States Period made it difficult for fishermen from the mainland to reach here. Perhaps the Qin Empire’s fleet would be able to do it in a few years, but not now.

Therefore, this place became a holiday island for Shen Yuelan and others. They wore bikini-style swimsuits and carried out various cultural activities on the beach that were popular among the old perverts.

For example, Gan Yuelong and Wan Chuan really like sunbathing. At the moment, they are lying on the lounge chairs, wearing sunglasses and chatting about random things.

Shen Yuelan and Huanyan were playing survival games nearby. They were looking for edible food on the island and cutting wood to build a wooden house to live in tonight. They were having a lot of fun, at least that was what Gan Yuelong thought.

As for the three sisters Su Shang, they are still soaking in the water and are unwilling to come out. Their activity is playing badminton on the seabed. Their badminton is a little special. It is a big ice ball made by Su Xin using her skills.

The three of them stood in a three-legged tripod on the seabed, passing the ball to each other. Whoever broke the puck first would lose. Often a game would take five or six days, which was quite time-consuming.

They also took on the main hunting task, which required them to bring back some seafood for barbecue after the game. The three of them seemed to regard this task as a punishment, and the loser of the game would go hunting.

[This shouldn't happen. Logically, it's just ice hockey, so there shouldn't be such a big wave. Could these guys have gone out to catch a giant squid? Really, they can't eat such a big one.]

[Alas, you only care about eating and don't care about the people under you. What if something happens to them? ]

[Don't worry. I don't know about others, but don't you know what's going on with Su Chang? Everything is fine over there, and she seems to be very happy. Maybe something good has happened to her.]

[Okay, I was just worrying about nothing.]

[But to be honest, the place Su Chang found was really good, with pleasant scenery and few people. It was a little exciting to be able to show off her good figure in ancient times like in later generations.]

[You know, even in the relatively open Warring States period, if you dress like this, people would think you are crazy.]

[Hehe, how can you say that, Sister Yuelong? This is a proper swimsuit, not underwear. Who can say it’s wrong at the beach? When I found Alua, she didn’t even have a swimsuit.]

[It's a pity that Xu Hanyue and the others were not brought along, otherwise, with so many beauties gathered here, it would definitely be a beautiful sight.]

While the two were chatting, Gan Yuelong turned over and completely displayed her graceful figure to Shen Yuelan.

[Hiss, Sister Yuelong, your breasts... ah no, your body should be covered with body lotion, quick! Let me give you a hand. ]

Before Gan Yuelong could refuse, Shen Yuelan came up to her with body lotion in her hand and started applying it on Gan Yuelong. Wanchuan wanted to stop her, but was caught by Huanyan who had also been waiting for a long time.

Huanyan had been resentful of Wanchuan's figure for a long time, so she would not let go of this opportunity to have sex like crazy. The bodies of Wanchuan and his servant were more sensitive than Shen Yuelan had imagined, and they were quickly defeated by Huanyan and his servant.

Shen Yuelan looked at the [work] in front of her and felt a sense of pride. She painted Gan Yuelong's whole body, where it should be painted, and where it shouldn't be painted. Her main goal was to catch everything in one fell swoop and not let it go.

Gan Yuelong's reaction was different from the shy look Shen Yuelan had imagined. She was actually lying on the recliner with a happy look on her face, comfortably enjoying Shen Yuelan's massage. She had already seen through Shen Yuelan's little thoughts.

But Gan Yuelong didn't care. It was just a few touches on her body, and it wasn't someone else who touched her. It was no big deal.

At her age, what is there to be shy about? She has changed her body so many times, so just follow Shen Yuelan's preference.

In sharp contrast to Gan Yuelong's calmness was Wanchuan, who was blushing next door. She was also touched by Huanyan, but her reaction was much more intense. She quickly snatched the body lotion and fought back.

Shen Yuelan lay in Gan Yuelong's arms, watching the fierce fight between the couple opposite. She pinched Gan Yuelong's face helplessly and complained:

[Sister Yuelong, do you have to be so boring? You don't even have any reaction. Am I so insignificant in your eyes? ]

[Alas, what kind of reaction do you want? I am as old as you are. Even if I ask you to be my granddaughter, I still think you are too young. Press my left shoulder again. It hurts a little.]

[Tsk, how boring, it hurts here, right? Did you get hurt when you went to the north?]

[Yes, that's it. Hiss, oh, I went to settle some old grudges. Because I wanted to have a fair duel with him, I didn't use Wanchuan and went straight into hand-to-hand combat.]

[Is that so? You really don't take care of your body. Let me see. Although it looks fine on the surface, there are quite a lot of muscle damage inside your body. It's amazing that you can kill the other person with your bare hands.]

[Haha, it's just a big bear, not a big deal. When I first arrived in the Warring States Period, the first place I landed was this White Mountain and Black Water.]

[The first living creature I encountered was the brown bear. Because I had no experience at the time, it chased me all the way from Heilongjiang to the Bohai Sea.]

[If I hadn't been able to swim and successfully hid in the sea, I would have almost become the first civil servant in the other world to die at the hands of a bear. You, Sister Hua, laughed at me for this for hundreds of years, and I have remembered it for more than ten thousand years.]

[So, every time I come to the Warring States Period, as long as I encounter that guy who has been resurrected, I will kill him once. At first, it was just for revenge, but later it gradually became one of the few entertainment activities I have. Isn’t it boring? ]

Shen Yuelan took a deep breath when she heard this. My goodness, what a huge grudge this is that it would last for ten thousand years.

[No, it is hard for me to imagine that you can remember something that is very bad to you for more than ten thousand years. For me, I would like to forget those things that make me unhappy as soon as possible, because it will make me painful and unhappy.]

[Haha, forget those unpleasant memories? You are still too young. If you live long enough, you will find that the suffering you have experienced is also interesting to recall.]

Chapter 165 The Weight of the Soul

[I don't believe that suffering can become interesting? Sister Yuelong, you don't have a masochistic tendency, do you? ]

Gan Yuelong rolled her eyes when she heard this. She told Shen Yuelan that it was up to her to believe it or not, time would prove everything. It was just like rich people seeking excitement. They went skydiving and discotheques not to seek death, but to seek the pleasure of it.

Gan Yuelong recalls his sufferings in order to improve himself and reflect on himself, not for the sake of simple masochism. People always have to face up to their own ordinariness and unbearableness. Maintaining self-confidence is a good thing, but excessive and blind self-confidence can also be fatal.

After hearing this, Shen Yuelan felt that what Gan Yuelong said made sense. When she was thinking about whether she should also reflect on herself three times a day, Gan Yuelong dissuaded her in time.

[I said my thoughts. How old are you? Don't come here to reflect on yourself three times a day. You still have too many new things to see. Go experience those interesting things first, then talk about other things.]

[Time flies by very fast. It is not just a blink of an eye. I am already this age. When I look back, it feels like a thousand years have passed.]

[Sister Yuelong, how do you calculate your age? Do you calculate it based on the time in the other world, or do you also include the time spent on this cross-time mission into your age?]

[Of course, we only count the time in the other world. If we also count the time during the mission, wouldn't the average age of the people in that world be one million years? ]

Shen Yuelan scratched her head when she heard that. After making a fuss for a long time, it turned out that she was not even three years old yet. It seemed that she had been living like a dog all these years. Yo yo, three and a half years old!

[Uh, then I am only three years old? ]

[What else? Do you still think you are over 50? Don’t take your mental age as your real age. ]

Gan Yuelong slowly told Shen Yuelan that normally, time-space missions should be rare. It was a special case like Shen Yuelan's, as she had to undertake several consecutive time-space pursuit missions.

After completing the mission in the Song Dynasty, Shen Yuelan should have rested for a while before continuing with the next time and space hunting mission. Otherwise, it would be easy for her to fall into the state she has been in recently, where her mental world is extremely tired and she feels that time is making her age.

[Huanyan has told me everything you talked about some time ago. Although you may not want to admit it, you are indeed a little tired now.]

[I think this island is nice. Let's relax here for a while. We can go to Jizi Joseon later, and we can also take it easy with Eun-hee. I will always be here with you.]

[Sister Yuelong, although I admit that my recent condition is not very good, it is not to the extent that I need to delay my work, right? ]

[Heh, do you know what the most common way to die in the other world is? ]

[Uh, died in battle? ]

[He died of a mental breakdown. Before we became civil servants in the other world, we were all ordinary people. Even though the other world gave us strong bodies, we were still weak mentally.]

[Especially for a young guy like you, your mental strength can almost be described as negligible, so I'd better keep an eye on you. If you keep going on like this, I'm really worried about your mental state.]

[Is that so? Then I will obey your orders respectfully. So, what is spiritual power? ]

【Have you heard of the weight of the soul? 】

Shen Yuelan said that of course she had heard of it, and had heard many different versions, but the most famous one was a study by Dr. Duncan MacDougall, a doctor in Massachusetts, published in the American Medical Journal in April 1907, which stated that the weight of the soul is 4 grams.

The topic is [On the hypothesis that the soul is a substance and using experiments to prove the existence of soul matter]. In order to verify that the soul is a measurable substance, Duncan McDougall specially designed a bed installed on a very sensitive scale.

The experimental method is to let the dying person lie on it, and then accurately measure the person's weight to see the weight change at the moment of death. The lighter part at the moment of death is the part lost during death, which Duncan McDougall calls the weight of the soul.

Although the experimental process was somewhat childish, it was loved by religious people at the time and was reported by the New York Times, so this statement was widely circulated.

Until the 21st century, a large number of youth literature authors still regarded it as a romantic truth and wrote it into their youth novels and stories. At this point, it no longer matters whether the soul really weighs 21.26 grams.

The 21-gram soul has become a cultural symbol. Everyone knows that the weight of the soul cannot be measured so easily, but people all hope and are willing to believe that this is true.

[So the weight of the soul is really 21.26 grams? ]

[Haha, of course not, or rather, the weight of each person's soul is different, and even the weight of the soul of the same person at different ages is different. ]

[For example, I may look no different from you on the surface, but in fact, the weight of my soul may be hundreds of times more than yours.]

[When I say spiritual power, you can basically understand it as the weight of the soul. Although there are still differences between the two, this analogy will help you understand the concept of spiritual power.]

[I see, so my current state means that I am mentally exhausted? ]

[Haha, you're smart, you get it right away, so just be quiet for a while.]

[Eh? Are we just going to sit here and do nothing? That would be boring. Even if we don't go to work, we should at least find something to have fun. It's really exhausting to waste our energy.]

[Tsk, where is Yue Lan who loved to stay in bed? It's so much more economical to stay at home quietly. Oh, let's wait until Su Shang and the others come back. If they gain something from this trip, then we will go to the bottom of the sea to explore.]

[If they really only caught a giant squid for us, I will treat you to a seven-day trip to the prosperous Tang Dynasty, okay? ]

【Oh! Long live Sister Yuelong! 】

【Long live the master!!!】

【Long live!!】

Although Gan Yuelong was extremely looking forward to Su Chang being able to fish out something interesting from the sea, things did not go as planned. All that was placed in front of Gan Yuelong that night was a huge grilled squid tentacle.

Gan Yuelong did not give up. She asked Shen Sushang again and again to confirm whether they had found any remains of civilization in the sea.

[Uh, no, there is nothing but corals and sand on the seabed, no trace of human activities. And I think if there really is, it would be a miracle. How could humans survive there under that kind of pressure? ]

[Hey, can't you just let them know that there was originally land there? ]

[Um, Sister Yuelong, you said it could be Atlantis, right? What is the difference between this legendary thing and 21 grams of soul? Do you still believe in this? ]

[But, but this is what Yin Ji told me. She said Atlantis really exists.]

[Humph, she also said that she would accompany you for the rest of your life. Did she? ]

【No…no.】

Chapter 166 Rhapsody of the Tang Dynasty

Gan Yuelong was devastated and had no choice but to accept the defeat. He decided to pay out of his own pocket to organize a grand journey for his poor little apprentice to relieve his mood.

[I told you that you are only allowed to stay for seven days. If you exceed this time, you will have to pay for it yourself.]

[Okay, okay, so which period of the Tang Dynasty are we going to? Is it the Zhenguan Reign or the Kaiyuan Prosperity?]

[Neither. Everyone says that the Kaiyuan Era was the peak of the Tang Dynasty, but the real peak of the Tang Dynasty was undoubtedly before the An-Shi Rebellion broke out, that is, during the Tianbao period. At that time, the national strength of the Tang Dynasty was at its peak.]

[The time period I want to take you to is the 755th year of Tianbao, which is 12 AD. To be more precise, it is from December 10th to December 12th of that year.]

[The An-Shi Rebellion broke out on December 12th. How about we go and witness the last heyday of the Tang Dynasty before it went from prosperity to decline? ]

[Hiss, traveling on a deadline, sounds a little exciting, doesn't it? ]

[What are you afraid of? On December 12, An Lushan and Shi Siming rebelled, but it would take some time for the war to reach Chang'an, which was enough time for us to leave comfortably.]

[Then let's go? ]

【Let’s go! 】

Gan Yuelong's approach was as wild as ever. He just opened the door and got there. But when Shen Yuelan tried it herself, she found that she couldn't do it at all. This guy has so many secrets.

The Sushang sisters did not go to the Tang Dynasty with Shen Yuelan. Compared with crowded places, they preferred to go to the sea to find the so-called [Atlantis]. Shen Yuelan happened to need an anchor point to return to the Warring States Period, so she let the three of them stay.

Shen Yuelan took Shen Huanyan happily to the Tang Dynasty. The significance of the Tang Dynasty to Shen Yuelan, a former Chinese, was self-evident. It was the pinnacle of ancient China, the unparalleled peak.
