The princess arrives and the prosperous Tang Dynasty begins

Chapter 177 A Successful Journey Through Time

As the bright and mysterious light gradually became thinner, like a veil in a dream slowly dissipating, Lin Xiao felt as if her heart was hanging in her throat as the light dimmed. Her eyes were wide open, filled with a complex mixture of nervousness and anticipation, as if she wanted to get a glimpse of the answer to the mystery that fate had arranged for her before the light completely disappeared.

Finally, the light completely dissipated, and the surrounding scene slowly unfolded before her eyes like a scroll. Lin Xiao stood there in disbelief, her body trembling slightly because of excessive surprise. She blinked hard, fearing that all this was just a dream that was too real. However, the familiar quaint streets, the buildings with flying eaves and brackets, and the shouts of the street vendors all told her that she had really returned to the Tang Dynasty that she had always missed.

Lin Xiao's heartbeat became more and more intense, as if it was about to break through the restraints in her chest. The excitement was like surging waves, hitting her heart wave after wave. She took a deep breath, and the air was filled with the unique fragrance of soil and fireworks of the Tang Dynasty. This familiar yet unfamiliar smell instantly intoxicated her.

She took slow steps, and the stone pavement under her feet seemed to have a unique magic, and every step seemed to be stepping on the pulse of history. Lin Xiao's eyes eagerly swept across the shops on both sides of the street, and the dazzling array of goods made her dazzled. The colorful silks and satins in the silk and satin shops fluttered gently in the breeze, as if telling her about the prosperity and luxury of the Tang Dynasty; the clanging sounds from the blacksmith shop were full of power and rhythm, making her feel the hard work and wisdom of the working people; and the aromas from the street food stalls were like invisible hands, guiding her steps.

Lin Xiao's face was filled with an irrepressible smile, which was full of love for this era and joy for reunion. Her eyes were shining like the brightest stars in the night sky. She couldn't help but reach out and touch the wall beside her. The rough texture was transmitted to her heart through her fingertips, making her feel the reality.

As she walked, Lin Xiao came to a jewelry store. The pearls and gems hanging at the door of the store sparkled charmingly under the sunlight. She walked into the store, picked up an exquisite hairpin, and looked at it carefully. The gems inlaid on the hairpin exuded a warm luster, as if telling the beauty and elegance of the women of the Tang Dynasty. Lin Xiao imagined herself wearing this hairpin, and her heart was filled with joy.

After leaving the jewelry store, Lin Xiao continued walking along the street. She saw a group of children playing on the street, their laughter was clear and loud, like the orioles in spring. Lin Xiao couldn't help but think of the scene when she played with her friends when she was a child, the innocence and happiness were so similar. She stopped and looked at the children quietly, with the corners of her mouth rising unconsciously.

At this time, a melodious flute sound came into Lin Xiao's ears. She looked in the direction of the sound and saw an old man sitting on the corner of the street, holding a bamboo flute in his hand and playing it leisurely. The beautiful melody seemed to take her through time and space and see the romantic life of the Tang Dynasty. Lin Xiao was deeply attracted by the flute sound and walked to the old man involuntarily and listened quietly.

In this poetic atmosphere, Lin Xiao's thoughts began to drift. She recalled the last time she came to the Tang Dynasty. At that time, she was full of fear and helplessness. Looking at this completely unfamiliar world, she felt like a rootless duckweed. When she first stepped on this stone road, she was very cautious with every step, fearing that she would make a mistake. Seeing those exquisite ornaments, although she was happy, she could only watch from afar because she was short of money.

Unconsciously, Lin Xiao came to a stall selling small items. The stall owner was an enthusiastic middle-aged vendor. When he saw Lin Xiao stop, he quickly greeted her: "Girl, look at these small items, they are all made at home, very delicate!" Lin Xiao smiled and picked up a wooden rabbit and said: "This little rabbit is so vivid, you have great craftsmanship!" The vendor laughed heartily and said: "Girl, I'm glad you like it. This took me a lot of effort." Lin Xiao asked curiously: "Are such small items popular in Chang'an City?" The vendor replied: "Of course, in our Chang'an City, dignitaries and ordinary people all love these interesting little items. Are you from other places?" Lin Xiao nodded: "I guess so. I have heard about the prosperity of Chang'an for a long time. Today I see that it is really well-deserved." The vendor said proudly: "Of course, our Chang'an City is the most lively place in the world!"

After a conversation with the vendor, Lin Xiao continued on his way.

Unconsciously, Lin Xiao arrived in front of a temple. The door of the temple was open, and the sound of chanting came from inside. She walked into the temple, saw incense smoke, and believers kneeling devoutly in front of the Buddha statue to pray. Lin Xiao also silently clasped her hands in front of the Buddha statue, her heart full of gratitude. She was grateful that fate had brought her back to this era again, allowing her to experience this unique beauty again.

After leaving the temple, Lin Xiao came to a river. The water was clear and the fish were swimming happily in the water. The willow trees by the river hung down their tender green branches. The breeze blew and the willow branches swayed gently, as if nature was dancing. Lin Xiao sat on a stone by the river, closed his eyes, listened to the sound of the breeze and the flowing water, and felt the warmth of the sun on his face.

At this moment, she felt extremely peaceful and satisfied. In this prosperous and poetic Tang Dynasty, she found what she had always longed for in her heart. There was no noise and impetuousness of modern society, only purity and beauty.

As the sun sets, a gorgeous sunset glow appears in the sky. Lin Xiao stands up and looks at the setting sun, her heart filled with emotion. The experience of this day has made her fall deeply in love with this era, and she knows that this will be an invaluable journey in her life.

At night, Lin Xiao strolled along the brightly lit streets. The night market was bustling with people walking between the stalls, picking out their favorite items. Lin Xiao tasted various delicacies and felt the unique charm of the Tang Dynasty night.

Back at home, Lin Xiao lay on the bed, her mind restless for a long time. She recalled every detail of the day, with a happy smile on her face. She knew that in the days to come, she would continue to explore, feel, and write her own wonderful chapter in this era.

In this land full of historical heritage and cultural charm, Lin Xiao's journey of time travel has just begun, and she can't wait to greet every day in the future.
