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

[Foolish! Really stupid! Isn't the reason why Suzhou is famous all over the world because of the magnificent scenery here? Actually cutting down trees so close to Tiger Hill is really short-sighted! ]

It turned out that this man was not angry because of the logging, but because the workers were logging in the wrong place.

[Sir, do you think those people attacked the wrong place? ]

[Yes, that forest is part of the Tiger Hill scenery. What they are doing is not cutting down trees, but consuming the future of Gusu.]

[But I heard that the order to cut down trees was issued by a saint. Sir, are you trying to say that the saint is wrong? ]

【Humph, why not? Saints are also human beings, and humans can make mistakes. How wise was the Emperor Minghuang in those days, but in his old age, didn't he still have a broken country, a ruined family, and his wife and children separated? This shows that kings, princes, generals, and ministers are not of the same species. 】

【What you said, sir, is really treasonous. 】

[Hahaha, as long as the ladies keep it a secret for me, who would know what I just said? By the way, I am Wang Chao, from Puzhou, may I have the honor of knowing your name?]

[Shen surname, single character is Yan.]

[Yan? What a good name. A swallow should return to its nest. My dear, we are destined to be together.]

[Haha, it's true. It's a pity that you and I are not destined to be together. You have your own destiny, and I only met you once. ]

[Is that so? Whatever, whatever, I’ll leave now.]

Looking at the back that was walking so swiftly, Huanyan and the others were all confused. They were enjoying the beautiful scenery, but why did he suddenly start to tell people's fortunes?

[Yue Lan, who is that person? What were you talking about just now? ]

[That person is just an unknown person, so let's not talk about him. However, his descendants are powerful figures. Together with Huang Chao, they almost ruined the future of China.]

[Hiss? Wang Xianzhi's elder? I didn't expect to meet such an important person here. ]

[Humph, his grandson's power has nothing to do with him, he's just an ant. However, the intention of rebellion really doesn't grow in a day. The Wang family's ambition has been nurtured for three generations. ]

[Yue Lan, since everyone in his family is so bad, should we take action? ]

[Of course not. This is established history. There is no need to change it. The reason why the Tang Dynasty has become the white moonlight in people's hearts is because it has long disappeared in the long river of history. A dead Rome is a good Rome. No one really needs it to come back to life.]

Chapter 293 Outside Hanshan Temple

[Is this the tomb of King Helu of Wu? Isn't this just a pond? The surroundings are so desolate, and it doesn't have the aura of a royal tomb at all. ]

[After all, the country has been lost for more than a thousand years. It’s great that the cemetery is still there. Why do you need a bicycle? ]

[But no matter what, King Helu of Wu was once the king of this place. Don’t the locals miss him at all? ]

[What is there to miss? Although he dominated the country for a time in the late Spring and Autumn Period, he did not lead the people of Wu to achieve any unprecedented achievements, nor did he leave any useful water conservancy facilities for the people of Wu. If I were him, I would not care about him.]

[Captain, you are a little too realistic. After all, he is a famous king in history, a ruthless man who was able to destroy the powerful Chu in the west and the Yue people in the south. It’s okay if we didn’t see him before, but now that we are here, we should at least burn some incense for him.]

[And Helü did not leave nothing behind. There is also the Huqiu Sword Pond. Legend has it that many of Helü's swords were buried in the water of the Sword Pond, and his body and treasures were buried under the Sword Pond.]

[Humph, those are all rumors. If it really existed, it would have been found long ago. Qin Shi Huang, King of Chu, Sun Quan of the Eastern Wu, and Wang Xun of the Jin Dynasty all came to dig. Who of them found it? ]

[If you guys want to play, go ahead and play. I won’t do it because I’m afraid I might wake Helu up.]

Although everyone knew that what Shen Yuelan said was a joke, they all tacitly agreed to stop. Shen Yuelan's physique was unpredictable, and if she wasn't careful, she might really become a king, a duke, or a general.

After paying simple respects beside the [Helü Tomb], everyone left in a hurry, as if something was chasing them from behind. It looked quite funny, but among the crowd, only Shen Yuelan knew that something was indeed suppressed under the pool.

But Shen Yuelan didn't know what it was exactly, and she didn't want to know. It was not advisable to stay in a place of trouble for too long, so it was better to leave as soon as possible.

In addition to the [Helü Tomb], Huqiu also has several other scenic spots, including the [Zhenniang Tomb], [Thousand People Stone], and [Shenggong Lecture Platform].

A famous prostitute named Zhenniang is buried in the [Zhenniang Tomb]. She was a famous singing girl in Suzhou during the Tang Dynasty. She was extremely beautiful during her lifetime, but her life was miserable.

It is said that she was originally the daughter of a family surnamed Hu. Her parents had both passed away, and she was left alone and helpless. She was deceived and fell into a brothel. Because of her beautiful appearance and her talent for singing and dancing, she became a famous beauty in Wu.

But she was a person of noble character and she remained chaste and determined not to be insulted. She hanged herself to resist the oppression of her brothel owner. Her tomb is located to the west of the Sword Pond in Tiger Hill.

Since ancient times, heroes have been unable to resist the temptation of beautiful women. Even the suave and talented men of the Tang Dynasty were easily moved by Zhenniang's tragic spirit of resistance.

Famous poets such as Bai Juyi, Liu Yuxi, Li Shangyin, Luo Yin and others have written poems and checked in here. Yes, Bai Juyi's story is also involved here. He even specially wrote a poem "Zhen Niang's Tomb" as a commemoration. It can be said that he is extremely reserved.

【Zhenniang's tomb, Tiger Hill Road. I don't recognize Zhenniang's face in the mirror, I only see the grass on Zhenniang's tomb. Frost destroys peaches and plums, wind breaks lotus, Zhenniang was still a young girl when she died. Her skin is fat and her hands are not firm, it's hard to stay with the beauties in the world. It's hard to stay, it's easy to fade, flowers in the north, snow in the south.】

Although it is said that women in the Tang Dynasty might have lived better than women in the Ming and Qing Dynasties, there is actually no essential difference between the two. The poor will always suffer, while the rich will always enjoy wealth.

The only thing that hinders the development of human society and the happiness of the people is class.

Let's not talk about this. The next scenic spot of Tiger Hill, Thousand People Stone, is not far from Sword Pond. Jia Dao once wrote the famous line "A thousand people sat on the top, looking down at the hundred-foot pine. The green pool hides the sword, and the cold stream sleeps the dragon." to describe the scenery here.

The so-called "Thousand-person Stone" is actually a large red rock with an area of thousands of square meters, which can accommodate thousands of people. According to legend, the eminent monk Zhu Daosheng of the Jin Dynasty once preached here and thousands of people listened to his lectures.

It is said that as the stone listened, it actually gained enlightenment, which gave rise to the story of "Sheng Gong preaching and the stubborn stone nodding." However, in Shen Yuelan's view, it was just an ordinary big stone, not a spirit, and did not have any energy at all.

After leaving Tiger Hill, walk south for a while and you will reach Changmen, which is the west gate of Gusu City and the most prosperous place in Gusu. Zhao Ye of the Eastern Han Dynasty recorded in "Wu Yue Chunqiu": "The reason for building Changmen is to symbolize the gate of heaven and to connect the wind of Changhe."

There is not much to say about this place. Since it is an important transportation route, it is often mentioned by famous Tang Dynasty poets. The only historical background is that Wu Zixu set out from this gate when he swore to attack the Chu State, and returned victorious from this gate.

To put it bluntly, there was just a powerful guy walking back and forth, and there was nothing interesting to see. Shen Yuelan wanted to go to the nearby Hanshan Temple to take a look. As a beneficiary of nine years of compulsory education, Shen Yuelan was quite impressed by Zhang Ji's "Night Mooring at Maple Bridge".

[The moon sets, crows cry, and the sky is full of frost. The maples on the river bank and the fishing fires are opposite me, and I am sad to sleep. The bell of Hanshan Temple outside Gusu City reaches the passenger ship at midnight.]

This poem was written shortly after the Anshi Rebellion. Although Zhang Ji's main description object was not Hanshan Temple, he made Hanshan Temple famous for more than a thousand years thereafter.

Hanshan Temple was first built during the Tianjian period of Emperor Wu of Liang in the Southern Dynasties (502-519 AD). It is one of the " temples in the Southern Dynasties, with many pavilions and towers in the mist and rain". It was once named Miaoli Puming Pagoda Courtyard and was renamed Hanshan Temple in the Tang Dynasty.

The place with more historical heritage here is a Buddhist pagoda called Puming Pagoda, which is said to be the place where Zen Master Puming (534-616) passed away. Shen Yuelan actually didn't know much about this Zen master.

All we know is that he was a disciple of Master Zhiyi, the founder of the Tiantai School of Buddhism. His name was well-known in the court and the country. He once followed his master to travel between Jinling and Yangzhou, and often passed through Suzhou.

After his death, he was buried in Fengqiao, which is now the Hanshan Temple. Buddhists built a pagoda to commemorate him. The former name of Hanshan Temple, Miaoli Puming Pagoda, came from this.

[Look, this tower is called Puming Pagoda, it is the place where Zen Master Puming passed away. You don’t need to know who Zen Master Puming is, you just need to know that this tower will be destroyed at the end of the Tang Dynasty. Unless we go back to the Tang Dynasty or before the Tang Dynasty, we will never see this tower.]

Shen Yuelan's words immediately caused a commotion among the crowd. There were clearly only four people in the team, but there was a noise like a hundred people fighting. This made Shen Yuelan angry and amused.

It was funny because this was exactly the effect she wanted to see. She had just been emphasizing the rarity of this tower. It was infuriating because she was squeezed out. Really, Huanyan and Yuhuan were fine, but what was wrong with this Shen Muguang? How could he have so much strength at such a young age?

Chapter 294 Meddlesome

In short, Shen Yuelan's trip to Hanshan Temple was not as mysterious as she had imagined, but it was not bad either. With Shen Yuelan's insistence, everyone stayed there until midnight before returning to the inn in Gusu City to rest.

Of course, the gates of Gusu City were closed at dusk, so they naturally did not go back through any normal means, but I will not go into details here, mainly because someone did not allow me to talk about it.

The Hanshan Temple at midnight was naturally desolate and lonely, but not as lonely and sad as described in Zhang Ji's poem. The Anshi Rebellion had been over for a long time, and although the Tang Dynasty was no longer strong, it had recovered some blood and regained some popularity.

Even in the middle of the night, there were still a few passenger ships passing by here sporadically, so the artistic conception was a bit lacking and Shen Yuelan returned home disappointed. Of course, this did not prevent Shen Yuelan from bragging to her friends about her night tour of Hanshan Temple.

The circle of friends is always exquisite, and life is always a mess. This wise saying is appropriate at any place and in any era. The circle of friends of poets is actually one Tang poem after another.

Shen Yuelan and her party spent the second day in Suzhou City at the Guanwa Palace and Gusu Terrace. The Guanwa Palace is located on the shore of Taihu Lake, on Lingyan Mountain. It was built by King Fuchai of Wu in the Spring and Autumn Period for his beauty Xi Shi.

In 494 BC, Gou Jian, King of Yue, was defeated in battle and taken hostage in Wu. In order to survive, he paid tribute to Fu Chai, King of Wu, with a large amount of precious wealth and beautiful women, hoping to please Fu Chai and alleviate his humiliation.

King Fuchai doted on the beautiful Xi Shi, who was presented as a tribute by Gou Jian, and specially built this grand palace for her. The palace had copper and jade thresholds, decorated with pearls and jade, and had exquisite pavilions and magnificent gold and jade. It was extremely luxurious.

Ironically, Lingyan Mountain, where the Guanwa Palace is located, is not far from Tiger Hill. It can be said that King Fuchai of Wu was seduced and corrupted step by step by King Goujian of Yue under the nose of his father. This shows that your ancestors may not necessarily protect you, even under their noses.

The above information was extracted by Shen Yuelan from the historical stories and legends she learned from the local people, because they were unable to see the so-called King Wu's [Guanwa Palace].

The [Guanwa Palace] of the Tang Dynasty was more like a temple than a palace. After the demise of the Wu Kingdom, the enemy country naturally would not continue to keep its palace. The real [Guanwa Palace] had long been lost in the wars of history. The [Guanwa Palace] passed down in later generations was actually the Lingyan Mountain Temple built on the site of the former Guanwa Palace.

Shen Yuelan felt bored as she couldn't see what she wanted to see. In addition, when Shen Yuelan was in Lingyan Mountain Temple, she always felt that something was staring at her.

Shen Yuelan, feeling very uneasy, immediately suggested going to the next attraction after everyone finished the tour. Although everyone was puzzled, they didn't say much. Anyway, they had already seen everything they should see, and there was no point in staying any longer.

The next attraction they were going to visit was called Gusu Terrace, also known as Guxu Terrace. It was located on Gusu Mountain in the south of the city, not far from the Guanwa Palace. It was first built by King Helu of Wu and later continued by King Fuchai. It took five years to complete.

Legend has it that the building is extremely gorgeous, grand in scale, and cost a huge amount of money. Its luxury is so great that even the Guanwa Palace cannot be compared with it. It was a place specially for King Fuchai of Wu to indulge in luxury and entertainment. It is said that the construction of this platform was also related to Gou Jian.

Gou Jian knew very well that King Fuchai of Wu was fond of building palaces and pavilions, so he used the "strategy of attacking Wu" suggested by the minister of state Wen Zhong, and presented large sums of money and treasures to the king and ministers of Wu, making them obsessed with money and losing their vigilance against the State of Yue.

They sent beautiful women to weaken the King of Wu's will, and sent skilled craftsmen and fine building materials to allow the State of Wu to build palaces and high platforms, exhausting its wealth and exhausting its people's strength.

The result of this last plan was the Gusu Terrace. Building this high terrace consumed the blood and sweat of countless people of Wu State, and plundered much of their wealth.

The "Wu Yue Chunqiu" Volume 9 "Gou Jian's Conspiracy" records: "It caused the roads to be full of dead bodies, the streets to be filled with cries, the people to be exhausted, and the soldiers to suffer."

In fact, this place is not very popular as a tourist attraction, because in the eyes of the Tang people, [Gusu Terrace] is a tourist attraction that symbolizes the decline of the country. Now the tower is deserted and overgrown with weeds, which reminds people of the Anshi Rebellion decades ago, which arouses sympathy from the Tang people.

Therefore, although Gusu Terrace is very famous, not many people from the Tang Dynasty were willing to travel here. Only a few poets such as Li Bai were willing to stop here.

Most people know about Gusu Terrace through Li Bai's famous poem "Wuqiqu".

[When crows roost on the Gusu Terrace, Xi Shi is drunk in the Wu King's palace. The Wu songs and Chu dances are not over yet, and the green mountains seem to hold half of the sun. The silver arrows and golden pots leak a lot of water, and I get up to watch the autumn moon fall into the river waves. The east is getting higher, what can I do to enjoy it! ]

In addition, the line in Li Bai's "Su Tai Lan Gu", "Now only the moon over the West River, which once shone on the people in the palace of King Wu", also refers to Gusu Tai. It can be said that for the first time, more than a thousand years after its construction, Gusu Tai encountered a poet who loved it so much.

Thinking of this, Shen Yuelan couldn't help but recall the dream she had on a small island in the Bohai Sea during the Warring States Period, the dream about the afterglow of the Tang Dynasty.

Although the dream was false, the prosperous Tang Dynasty that Gan Yuelong wanted Shen Yuelan to see through the dream was indeed deeply imprinted in Shen Yuelan's mind and she would never forget it. The Tang Dynasty before the Anshi Rebellion was indeed very beautiful and attractive.

It is for this reason that when Shen Yuelan stood on the Gusu Terrace, she was able to empathize more deeply with the poets of the late Tang Dynasty. The once powerful and prosperous Tang Dynasty, like this magnificent Gusu Terrace, would never return.

Just as Shen Yuelan was sitting by the Gusu Terrace, feeling sad about the passing of time, a strong demonic aura rose into the sky from the direction of Tiger Hill in the north of the city. Shen Yuelan looked back and felt familiar with it. It was the monster she had seen under the pond before.

[Master, should we go and help? ]

[Don't be anxious yet? Wait a minute, let me see what's going on. We've been through so many things and suffered so many setbacks. We need to make progress. We can't just rush forward like we did before.]

[Master, is it really okay for you to scold yourself like this? ]

[Humph, that was me in the past. I am now completely transformed. I can remain calm even when Mount Tai collapses in front of me, and I can remain calm even when a deer appears on my left. Hahaha.]

Everyone scoffed at Shen Yuelan's boasting, but she was right in one thing: they were sure that they could not rush forward foolishly like before.

The inner world is an extremely large system. If there is a problem in any link, there will be professional personnel to deal with it. There is no need for them to meddle in other people's business.

Chapter 295 Cheap Daughter

Shen Yuelan thought so and did so. She didn't know if this was what Gan Yuelong meant by maturity, but she knew very well in her heart that she was no longer pure after making this decision.

The initial throbbing in her heart gradually disappeared, leaving only numbness spreading in her heart. If this is the so-called maturity, then Shen Yuelan would rather remain immature forever.

But she had already left her warm and comfortable little home and was forced into this chaotic world, and she had no choice.

Shen Yuelan looked at the three little ones laughing and talking beside her, and couldn't help but sigh in her heart, can she really protect this comfort? According to past experience, it is probably not possible. She only hopes that moment can come as late as possible.

Just as Shen Yuelan had expected, not long after the evil spirit burst out, a team of civil servants from the other world, who was not sure which administration they were from, came together and quickly sealed the evil spirit again. The speed was so fast that Shen Yuelan was amazed.

Sure enough, professional matters should be left to professionals.

Although Shen Yuelan did not rush over, she just weighed her own abilities in her mind. Although her ability of drawing talismans could confront the evil spirit for a while, it was only a temporary solution and not a fundamental solution. It turned out to be right to stabilize.

Shen Yuelan did not deliberately conceal her whereabouts, so the other party soon noticed them. Not long after, the civil servants from the other world who had dealt with the affairs of Huqiu rode on the colorful auspicious clouds to Gusu Terrace where Shen Yuelan was.

[Tsk, these guys are really cool, their means of transportation is actually a colorful cloud, are they from the Mythology Administration? ]

[It's possible. After all, only they dared to be so presumptuous in ancient times. After all, they all had the title of gods. If something happened, they could just say that it was the gods who came down to earth.]

[I really envy them. Twilight also wants to ride on a cloud!]

[Sure, I'll go ask them myself later.]

[Ah~ Can't mother ask for Twilight? ]

[Ahem, what? Mother? What mother? Who taught you to call me that?]

[Um, it was Sister Gan. She said that according to the relationship between us, Twilight should call you mother. Twilight hesitated for a long time before making up her mind to call you that.]

Shen Yuelan's face turned red when she heard this, and she was speechless for a long time, because Shen Muguang was right, she was indeed one of the people who gave birth to Shen Muguang. Liu E injected soul into Shen Muguang, Tianxi's demon body became Shen Muguang's body, and Shen Yuelan gave Shen Muguang color.

Of course, the colors here mainly refer to Shen Muguang's spellcasting system. If you only look at the colors of the two people's spells, you will find that the colors of the spells they cast cannot be said to be exactly the same, but they are from the same source.

All in all, Shen Yuelan is undoubtedly Shen Muguang's real mother, and she cannot deny it.

[Tsk, alright, alright, I get it, I'm not disowning you, but don't call me that in front of outsiders, your mother still has to be free for another two years, and continue to pursue women.]

Shen Yuelan's words immediately caused a wave of contempt. Is it really okay to say this in front of your daughter?

Shen Huanyan even rushed forward and kicked Shen Yuelan in the butt. She stated on the spot that the custody of Shen Muguang would belong to her, Shen Huanyan, from now on, and told Shen Yuelan to just stay there.

Shen Yuelan, who was kicked to the ground, did not object when she heard this. Instead, she patted her butt and walked away happily. Of course, she knew that her behavior was very bad, but she was just a child herself, and even if she wanted to raise Shen Muguang, she was afraid of leading him astray.

In fact, leaving Shen Muguang to Gan Yuelong or Hua Liluo is the best choice for Shen Yuelan. After all, although the two of them have poor personal ethics, they are both good at teaching and educating people. But unfortunately, both of them are old hands and refuse to take over no matter what.

Shen Yuelan had no choice but to temporarily hand Twilight over to Shen Huanyan. At least she had a positive outlook on life, could cook and manage the household, which was much better than herself. In a sense, Shen Yuelan was still very self-aware.

Regarding this arrangement, except for Shen Muguang who had some complaints about her mother, no one else had any objection (Xiao Yuhuan was very disdainful).

After all, regardless of their close companionship or Shen Huanyan's recognized qualities as a good wife and mother, Shen Huanyan is undoubtedly the best candidate to take care of the baby at this moment.
