Chapter 1084: Chapter 1083: Returning Home for the New Year
"Is this the Great Wild Goose Pagoda?"
"Every city has its own landmark, so how about the Great Wild Goose Pagoda in the Capital City? It’s quite representative."
Shen Ying stroked her chin, "Lu Lang, help me out, what should I transform into?"
Lu Zheng thought for a moment, "Turn into the Exquisite Seven Treasure Tower of the Buddhist Sect, perhaps you could become a Female Bodhisattva?"
"I don’t want to be a Female Bodhisattva." Shen Ying shook her head, refusing, "I’d rather transform into the Netherworld Tower."
While Lu Zheng and Shen Ying were discussing how to transform the Great Wild Goose Pagoda in the Capital City, Liu Qingyan was in awe, looking around at the bustling crowds, "Wow, so many people!"
...
It was the night of the second day since they returned to the Capital City, the first day of the lunar new year.
Lu Zheng brought Lin Wan and the three girls back just in time for New Year’s Eve.
Though Si Lingxi, Liu Qingyan, and Shen Ying were all stunningly beautiful, Gu Ling and Lu Hui instinctively assumed they were friends of Lu Zheng, who happened to be visiting the Capital City as tourists for the holidays.
But the introduction of Lu Zheng and the three girls left them astonished.
Lu Zheng flew them around invisibly for a tour.
Liu Qingyan gifted each of the elders a Jade Ginseng King Pill to improve their meridians and internal organs.
Using the Incense and Candle Qi, Shen Ying cleansed the elders’ bodies and also gave each of them a Peach Wood Token.
Si Lingxi employed the Spirit Awakening Technique to impart a set of Breathing Techniques to the elders and left a Phoenix Body-Protecting Curse within them.
Gu Ling: 〣(ºΔº)〣
Lu Hui: Σ(っ°Д°;)っ
Are there Immortals in this world?
Is our son an Immortal?
Has he found three Immortal girlfriends? And now Lin Wan is into Cultivation too?
Travel from the North Sea at dawn to Cangwu in the evening?
Summon wind and rain as casual affairs?
Eternal life is not just a dream?
Elixirs! Magical Treasures! Cultivation Techniques! Protective Curses! Got it all!
Hiss——
Lu Zheng’s parents were left flabbergasted, dazed throughout the entire New Year’s Eve.
They originally intended to privately urge Lu Zheng and Lin Wan to marry, but it turned into privately comforting Lin Wan instead.
After all, Si Lingxi and the other two girls looked like fairy maidens, extraordinary, while Lin Wan seemed more relatable, which deeply moved Lin Wan.
So that evening, Lin Wan doubled her gratitude toward their son.
...
With the parents settled and no worries left, the next step was naturally to go out and have fun.
The North Square of the Great Wild Goose Pagoda, as one of the famous tourist spots in the Capital City, was crowded with visitors.
However, Lu Zheng simply cast a small spell to clear a three-foot space around them, making everyone unconsciously notice them and keep their distance.
The visitors didn’t find it strange, they just felt outclassed and dared not approach.
This was because Lu Zheng and the others were dressed in ancient costumes.
Compared to other popular cities, the proportion of people wearing ancient Hanfu in the Capital City is higher, frequently seen on streets, subways, and malls, especially in scenic spots with historical feel.
So Lu Zheng and his group didn’t appear out of place.
But strictly speaking, they were a bit striking.
No other reason, they were simply too handsome and beautiful!
Lu Zheng donned a dark blue, silver-patterned, fitted scholarly robe, standing tall and graceful, exuding an extraordinary aura, holding a folded fan in his hand for show.
Lin Wan wore an apricot golden chrysanthemum lily dress, with the sides gathered, her long legs prominently displayed, drawing countless gazes.
Liu Qingyan wore a sky-blue silk dress adorned with jade green bamboo patterns, with a white wolf fur scarf around her neck, swaying elegantly like a willow.
Shen Ying wore a lighter pink-and-white cloud-patterned dress, with a pearl tassel bejeweled hairpin, graceful and poised.
Walking beside Lu Zheng was Si Lingxi, in a gold-red phoenix-patterned gown, her jade neck glistening, eyes sparkling.
It was as if an ancient emperor had taken his four imperial consorts on a discreet outing!
So to the many tourists, Lu Zheng’s spell seemed natural. Why approach, to compare oneself and see what one lacks?
When they arrived at the North Square, it was already past five, and with it being winter, it got dark early. The street lamps soon lit up, and they found themselves under the Great Wild Goose Pagoda.
"Look, it’s that notorious Great Wild Goose Pagoda!"
A male livestreamer in a down jacket repeated the old joke.
"Isn’t it strange to see so many outsiders? It’s just where Tang Sanzang translated scriptures, I don’t know why outsiders come to see it."
However, Liu Qingyan and the other girls were unaware of the old joke, prompting Shen Ying to frown, "His accent sounds local, why talk like that about a famous hometown spot?"
The next moment...
"Hey? Are you going on TV? Wait a bit, hold on a moment."
"This Great Wild Goose Pagoda was built in the year 600-something. After Master Xuanzang returned from India with scriptures, the Tang Emperor built this pagoda for him at the Daci’en Temple to honor his great deeds."
"Hehe!"
"Haha!"
Shen Ying and Liu Qingyan couldn’t help but laugh, "This livestreamer is quite funny."
Lu Zheng shook his head, smiling, but he didn’t explain the old joke to them. They passed the livestreamer and soon arrived near the Great Wild Goose Pagoda. freewebnσvel.cøm
"Come on, let’s take some real scene shots first, then think about what to transform into," Shen Ying laughingly suggested, genuinely engaged in her "career."
"Sure!"
So Lu Zheng, serving as the photographer, captured Shen Ying’s dance moves beneath the Great Wild Goose Pagoda.
Passing the South Square of the Great Wild Goose Pagoda, they arrived at the Great Tang Night City.
Compared to the Great Wild Goose Pagoda Square, the Great Tang Night City had even more visitors. It wasn’t just a crowd, it was a pressing throng.
Liu Qingyan was hesitant, "There are just too many people. Even during temple fairs and markets, I’ve never seen such a crowd!"
Not to mention Tonglin County, Liu Qingyan even doubted whether all of Yizhou Prefecture together had as many people as a single street in the Great Tang Night City.
Lin Wan nodded, "The Capital City is a well-known tourist city. While overall quality and service might not match the south, several key attractions are indeed quite unique."
Lu Zheng turned back, "You can visit the Capital City more often; the Terracotta Warriors are worth a trip too."
Shen Ying naturally agreed, nodding with a smile, "The achievements of Emperor Qin Shi Huang, even in the Great Jing, make him one of the top founding rulers, and besides..."
Shen Ying’s eyes gleamed, her voice playful, "If I shoot transformation videos at the Terracotta Warriors, Lu Lang, you’ll need to play along with me~"
Recently, Shen Ying’s two videos featuring the Oriental Pearl and the Big Underpants as backdrops had garnered several times more views than before, even being shared abroad. Not just the audience, even Lu Zheng and Lin Wan were very interested, supporting Shen Ying to continue filming.
Thus, they strolled into the Great Tang Night City.
The place was bustling, lively, and noisy.
Besides various stalls, there were open-air performances drawing attention.
There were poetry arts, flower cart fighting, Zhen Guan’s Governance, Feathered Robe, Moon Dance Chang’an, and of course, the most famous Pendulum girl.
