At 10:28 pm Japan time on August 10, 2009, a brightly lit giant city appeared under the wing, with expressways and Shinkansen extending in all directions forming a shining spider web.

This is Tokyo! The largest city in Asia, Lu Mingfei is a tourist destination!

He sat in the window seat with his face pressed against the plane window, overlooking the industrialized city with tall buildings.

It only took him six hours to fly here. He told his aunt that he was going to Kassel College to report in advance, and his aunt and uncle even chipped in $500 for him to pay for his travel. But in fact, his plan was to travel to Tokyo 15 day, and then transfer to the plane to the United States on the 25th.

He has made an appointment with Old Tang. Old Tang will pick him up at the New York Airport on the 25th, and the two brothers will play until the first day of school.

The US$110,000 given by the little witch was enough to support the trip. After reaching the legal age of 18 on July 17, he couldn't wait to apply for a tourist visa.

Uncle and aunt didn't know about this at all. This time he was alone, free and able to go wherever he wanted.

"It's so beautiful!" Lu Mingfei praised repeatedly.

At night, this city that never sleeps is brightly lit, and a huge screen plays advertisements for beautiful women.

A red and white iron tower stands among the tall buildings. It is the Tokyo Tower, the tallest building in Tokyo.

The Tokyo Tower Observation Hall is divided into a large observation hall and a special observation hall, which can provide a 360-degree panoramic view of Tokyo's urban landscape, high-rise buildings, parks, temples and shrines, Tokyo Bay, distant mountains, etc., if the weather is fine, You can also overlook Mount Fuji and Mount Tsukuba.

The brightest place is Ginza. It is said that when Japanese real estate was at its highest, the land value of one Ginza could buy the entire United States.

He had already read the travel guide and recorded it all on his mobile phone.

He is not worried about communication issues. He understands Japanese, but he is not very good at speaking it.

After getting off the plane and completing the formalities, Lu Mingfei took out his new iPhone: "Norma, help me navigate to the hotel I booked before."

"Norma is at your service at any time." A steady female voice came from the mobile phone.

Artificial intelligence is so easy to use. All chores such as booking flights and hotels can be left to her. Lu Mingfei only needs to enjoy the evening breeze in Tokyo.

"We have reached our destination. I wish you a pleasant journey."

A luxurious hotel appeared in front of him. Lu Mingfei walked into the door with his suitcase and got the room card from the beautiful waiter.

His room is on the 27th floor and has a great view. Sitting on the bed, he can enjoy the spectacular night view of Tokyo at will.

"Wuhu!" He picked up the PS3 controller on the big bed and played Yakuza 3 on the 120-inch LCD TV.

This is a new game that was only released in February this year. After a while, he became obsessed with playing it.

At 2 o'clock in the morning, he finally killed the first boss, turned off the TV, and took a bubble bath in the large bathtub. His mobile phone was connected to the Bluetooth speaker in the room and played Jay Chou's "Nocturne."

"Do rich people enjoy this much?" He wiped off the water stains on his body, put on a clean bathrobe and lay down on the soft white bed.

Use the remote control to turn off the headlights and turn on the blue ambient light on the bedside. There are neon lights and big screens outside the window, and the traffic passing by on the steely road is like fireflies lost in the city.

Pulling the curtains, Lu Mingfei closed his eyes.

"Hopefully, I can find something useful."

The next day, Lu Mingfei dressed lightly, wearing black beach shorts, blue short-sleeves, a pair of large black sunglasses and a yellow sun hat.

It’s a scorching summer in August, and the venomous sunshine hits me as soon as I step out.

The first stop was Sensoji Temple. Under the guidance of Noma, he soon reached his destination.

A huge red lantern hangs at the entrance of the temple with the words "Thunder Gate" written on it.

Wooden vermilion-lacquered columns stand together and support the facade together with bricks and tiles. This is called a torii, which represents the entrance to the divine realm and is used to distinguish the divine realm of gods from the secular world where humans live.

Stepping into the torii gate means entering the divine realm, and all subsequent behaviors should be paid special attention to.

This is the entrance gate to Kaminarimon-Omotesando. The eight-legged Kiritsuma gate has a statue of the God of Wind on the left and a statue of the God of Thunder on the right. The official name is "Wind and Thunder God Gate".

Lu Mingfei got under the lantern and saw a crowded pedestrian street. There were sellers of souvenir dolls, as well as snacks such as oden and taiyaki.

He had already had breakfast at the hotel and had no intention of buying souvenirs, so he walked straight in.

At the end of the pedestrian street there was another door, this door was called Treasure Gate. Going forward again, he came to the main hall where the lot was drawn.

A hollow six-sided cylinder made of silver metal is filled with many bamboo sticks. There is only a small hole. If you shake it vigorously, the bamboo stick that happens to come out of the hole represents your luck.

There will be a number on it. If you open the wooden box corresponding to the number, you will get a fortune card with "good luck" or even "bad luck" written on it, and a Chinese poem that will reveal your next trend.

One hundred yen is drawn once, and almost every tourist who comes here will draw lots.

It is said that on New Year's Day, the number of visitors to Sensoji Temple can reach one million. I don't know how much money I can make just from the lottery business, let alone the pedestrian streets and souvenirs outside.

There are really many monks in the temple.

Lu Mingfei took out a 100 Japanese coin from his pocket and handed it to the staff. After praying devoutly, he shook the iron box.

"Number 66."

6 is considered an evil number in Western countries. Three 6s in a row refer to the devil, Satan and spiritual numbers, which is an unlucky symbol.

In the Bible, three "6"s written together represent the symbol of the devil, representing the evil forces headed by Isaac. It is also said that "6" means imperfection. Because God created the world in seven days, 666 is a taboo number in the West.

However, in China, 6 has no unique meaning.

Lu Mingfei followed the numbers and opened the corresponding wooden box and took out a piece of paper.

"Fierce, it seems my luck is not very good."

The Chinese poem above says:

[Send you back to your homeland, where you are lying ill in the quiet mountains of Chu. 】

【We can only go with each other, how can we stay alone. 】

The general meaning is that he was about to send an old friend away recently, but he could only watch with eyes wide open. The latter sentence should be a complaint, but in fact he probably didn't leave with the old friend.

He shook his head, folded the paper into strips and tied it to a branch nearby.

Usually tourists who draw good or bad fortune will take the note away, while those who draw bad luck or great misfortune will leave their bad luck in the temple and ask for God's blessing.

However, this sign doesn't work very well. Lu Mingfei can't remember any old friends he has deep feelings for. It's too pretentious to lie in bed and sigh in the deep valley of Chu Mountain without seeing him.

In the past, he might have stayed in bed half-dead for ten days and a half after sending Chen Wenwen and Zhao Menghua away, but now he didn't have that intention.

They are a pair of mandarin ducks who both entered Peking University. They are both talented and beautiful. What is wrong with them?
