I Have A Dual World Seal-Chapter 859: Returning to the Past Together
"So there really is a Yan Chixia!"
"And Ning Caichen and Nie Xiaoqian!" Liu Qingyan exclaimed in surprise, "I thought Lu Lang had adapted the story of Ning Zhiqui and Yi Xiaoqian!"
Shen Ying laughed, "It even led to a little spar between Yan Hongxia and Lu Lang, but Lu Lang didn't lose out."
Liu Qingyan nodded repeatedly, chuckling secretly, then saw Lu Zheng come out, and the two of them teased as they looked at Lu Zheng.
Lu Zheng looked completely justified and defended himself, "I never said those stories and songs were written by me!"
Liu Qingyan and Shen Ying nodded repeatedly, agreeing that Lu Zheng was right.
However, Lin Wan didn't indulge Lu Zheng, first glancing at Si Lingxi, then giving Lu Zheng a sour sideways glance, "And what about 'Peach Blossoms'?"
"Ahem!" Lu Zheng coughed twice, decisively changing the subject, "What brings you here?"
Lin Wan rolled her eyes helplessly, then took out her phone and swiped to a short clip about the Phoenix phenomenon before handing it to him.
Lu Zheng took the phone and saw a red cloud in the sky in the video, with comments like "Spiritual Qi resurgence", "Someone transcending", "Strange phenomena reappear", and so on.
However, the official title of the video was "Weather experts explain the Hai City red cloud incident".
"What's going on?"
Shen Ying said, "Lu Lang, you and the Palace Master were inside healing..."
Si Lingxi interrupted Shen Ying, glanced at Lu Zheng, and smiled at Shen Ying, "From now on, just call me sister."
Shen Ying laughed, "That's great!"
Lin Wan rolled her eyes helplessly again, but her curiosity got the best of her as she curiously examined this supposedly 3,000-year-old phoenix.
Three thousand years...
Three thousand years ago, Hua Country had just experienced King Wu's conquest of Zhou and the establishment of the Western Zhou, right?
That's terrifying...
Then Shen Ying continued, "Then, for some reason, not long after, Phoenix Power suddenly dissipated, forming a phoenix red cloud with a wingspan of dozens of miles in the sky, covering most of the city's area."
Logically, this Phoenix Red Cloud placed in the Great Jing Dynasty, Zhongjing wouldn't know, but other cities in Daozhou Prefecture would surely be completely covered. Surprisingly, in this mortal city, it wasn't completely covered.
To speak of it, Hai City is such a big city, even Liu Qingyan and Shen Ying were seeing it for the first time, surrounded by skyscrapers and subways that didn't exist in the Great Jing Dynasty, so it was quite shocking.
"What!?" Lu Zheng was startled, speechless in disbelief.
If it were a clear phoenix shadow, it would be too easy to think along the lines of the extraordinary.
"Don't worry," Liu Qingyan comforted, "The Phoenix Red Cloud is too large for anyone to see the full shape of that red cloud."
Lu Zheng wasn't optimistic at all, turning back to look at Lin Wan, who shrugged her shoulders and said with some schadenfreude, "Of course, satellites can see clearly."
Lu Zheng, "..."
Liu Qingyan and the other girls were curious, not knowing what kind of star this satellite was, similar to the astrologers of the Great Jing Dynasty?
"How long did it last?" Lu Zheng asked urgently.
"Five minutes, I guess," Lin Wan said. "But Liu... sister was right; with the rains in the Shu Region and typhoons in the East Sea, except for high-level archives, it likely won't cause much of a stir among the public."
"What about people from other countries?" Lu Zheng asked.
With a duration of five minutes, he didn't think satellites from other countries would be blind.
Lin Wan gave Lu Zheng a strange look, "Meteorological weapons, you know, they often accuse us of these."
And instead of speculating about meteorological weapons, it's more reliable to assume it's some company doing a 3D projection in reality.
Do they really think a phoenix would descend on Hai City?"
Lu Zheng, "..."
Then, the four of them couldn't help but look at Si Lingxi, because there really was a phoenix descended on Hai City.
Si Lingxi squinted her eyes, calmly saying, "What, is someone dissatisfied with me?"
"No, no!" Lu Zheng quickly pulled Si Lingxi to sit down, "No one dares to be dissatisfied with you, but in this world, there's no such thing as cultivation, so if you appear openly, it will inevitably cause social unrest and panic."
Seeing Liu Qingyan and Shen Ying already a bit used to it, Si Lingxi couldn't help but smile, "It seems I missed quite a bit today."
Liu Qingyan smiled, "You didn't miss much, after all, there are too many things to understand. We just started chatting with Lin Wan's sister."
Shen Ying nodded repeatedly, pointing at the TV, excitedly saying, "Not to mention, the technology and entertainment of this world have truly opened my eyes."
Lu Zheng shrugged, "Enjoy it. It's what drives human development. For example, air conditioning has saved many lives."
Si Lingxi also learned a bit about the TV, refrigerator, washing machine, air conditioner, water heater, and most importantly, the core energy, electricity!
But Si Lingxi shook her head, without a look of admiration, "Focused on comfort, the mind is already broken. If a crisis comes, it's hard to escape destruction."
Lin Wan didn't like those words and immediately took out her phone to look up nuclear weapons, showing them to Si Lingxi.
"How about that?" Lin Wan raised an eyebrow.
Si Lingxi looked at Lu Zheng and shook her head, "Children recklessly wielding knives, it's a wonder they haven't destroyed themselves yet."
Lu Zheng, "..."
"It's called nuclear deterrence balance..." Lin Wan weakly protested.
Si Lingxi sneered with contempt, "A fragile balance."
Lin Wan, "..."
Just then, the ending theme of "A Chinese Ghost Story" played on TV.
Si Lingxi turned her head and listened for a moment. Although the style was vastly different from her world, it was indeed quite pleasant.
"Of course, every world has its own merits." Si Lingxi flashed a kind smile at Lin Wan.
"For example, Lu Lang's understanding of 'The Song of Everlasting Sorrow' exceeds most people. To nurture someone like Lu Lang, this world must be quite good at education."
Lin Wan didn't know about "The Song of Everlasting Sorrow" as Liu Qingyan and Shen Ying hadn't gotten to that part yet.
"Ahem...let's not talk about things unrelated to us. We have plenty of time to learn these things in the future."
Lu Zheng interjected with a sentence, then turned to Si Lingxi and asked, "Are we waiting here for eighty-one days, or going back?"
The reason Lu Zheng asked this was because after exhausting all the threads of Light of Fortune from the Jade Seal, the Demon Desire Divine Blood within Si Lingxi had been completely purged, and her cultivation had advanced another step.
"Of course, we're going back!"
Si Lingxi narrowed her eyes, "No one can plot against me and get away unscathed!"
As she spoke, a wisp of Phoenix Divine Fire flickered in Si Lingxi's pupils, clearly still full of anger.
Seeing Si Lingxi's expression, and having heard Liu Qingyan and Shen Ying talk about another world, Lin Wan couldn't stay sour and eagerly looked at Lu Zheng.
Lu Zheng waved his hand, "Together!"
