Chapter 172 This is a miracle

Yun Qingqing and Zhiluo sat opposite each other, speechless as they looked at the pile of lucky bags on the table that had been turned over and swapped inside out.

In Yun Qingqing's spiritual eyes, the evil talisman drawn in the lucky bag was emitting faint black air, which was attacking her in wisps.

"Oh my god, these sinister things actually came from the hands of the Crown Princess? These two are really capable. One is profiting from military rations, and the other is stealing other people's luck. If these people really ascend to the throne, I think Daliang's luck will be almost over."

"But you're so brave, actually carrying so many unlucky things with you. I know you're capable, but they say it's better to be safe than sorry. But you're really not afraid of capsizing in the gutter, are you?"

Zhiluo supported her chin and fiddled with a small lucky bag. A faint light flashed at her fingertips, and the evil runes disappeared with a hiss.

Yun Qingqing's expression remained unchanged:

"You have a point, but this little thing is not even a sewer to me, so it doesn't matter."

As he spoke, he picked up a lucky bag and threw it back into the space, leaving the rest on the table. His fingertips flashed with golden light and he drew a small formation in the air.

As the last stroke of the formation was made, it immediately flew up slowly and hovered above the pile of lucky bags.

All the lucky bags were shrouded in light.

Zhiluo looked at the changes in the lucky bags, and a look of doubt gradually appeared in her eyes:

"Huh? Why don't you just get rid of all this stuff?"

"The time has not come yet. If we deal with it now, won't it make Yun Bailian alert?" Yun Qingqing said.

"Oh, that's right." Zhiluo nodded. "Then what did they ask you to change this curse into?"

Yun Qingqing grinned:

"She wanted a lot of luck, didn't she? So I kindly changed the spell to one that borrowed luck from her future."

"Puchi." Zhiluo gave a thumbs up, "It has to be you."

The formation dissipated, and Yun Qingqing put away her smile:

"I need your help with something. I was planning to go by myself, but it's clear that you are more suitable for this task than me."

Zhiluo understood:

"It's a dark and windy night, isn't it? Leave it to me!"

…

The day of offering sacrifices to heaven and praying for blessings is coming soon.

At nightfall the previous day, Yun Bailian dismissed the servants, closed the doors and windows, and took out a wooden box from under the bed.

When the wooden box was opened, a seemingly ordinary bronze mirror was found inside.

She carefully picked up the bronze mirror and turned it over. She saw that the back of the bronze mirror was engraved with dense lines and runes, forming a complex formation.

And in the center of the formation, there is a jade-white decoration with strange talismans engraved on it.

Yun Bailian raised the corner of his mouth gloomily, took out a needle, pricked his fingertip, and smeared the blood on the white decoration.

When she turned the mirror over again, ripples appeared on the originally bronze surface.

Then the mirror surface seemed to boil, spitting out colorful crystal bubbles, which solidified into substance in a moment and fell on the table like pearls, making a tinkling sound, which was very pleasant to hear.

"So many this time!" Yun Bailian sighed in surprise, then sneered darkly, "Yun Qingqing, I didn't expect your luck to be so strong! How can you be worthy of it!"

"From now on, I will accept everything!"

She was playing with the beads with great joy when she suddenly heard a rattling sound outside the window.

"who!"

Yun Bailian's expression became serious, and he immediately rushed over and opened the window.

A gust of night wind blew towards her, making her shiver. The moonlight outside the window was as bright as water, illuminating the yard, but she could not see any human figure.

"Meow--"

There was a cat's meow, accompanied by the rustling of trees.

Yun Bailian's expression relaxed. She closed the window and returned to the table. She placed the bronze mirror neatly back into the wooden box and hid it under the bed.

Looking back at the pile of beads, she smiled with the determination to win.

"With so much luck, at tomorrow's festival, I will be the Heavenly Phoenix Cloud White Lotus that will stun the entire Liang Kingdom!"

…

The next day, the Emperor of Daliang led the royal family, civil and military officials to gather at the Temple of Heaven to offer sacrifices.

The Temple of Heaven in Daliang was located in the center of the busiest street in the imperial city, so that all people could offer sacrifices together during festivals, demonstrating the united respect for heaven from the royal family to the common people.

Especially this sacrificial ceremony is for the good weather in the two rivers in the coming year, and for the people's livelihood in the entire Daliang.

Therefore, the court issued a notice early, and as the auspicious time approached, people had already flocked to the open space outside the Temple of Heaven that was specially reserved for viewing, and the crowds were huge.

Yun Qingqing turned down the task of offering sacrifices to heaven and stood in the position of a member of the royal family.

The Regent was the prince with the highest status, so she naturally stood at the front, able to see the situation on the altar clearly.

It was early winter, and the north wind was howling. Suddenly, a strange wind blew against the north wind.

Yun Qingqing turned her head and saw Zhiluo's red skirt and long hair flying. She was sitting on the palace wall not far away, waving at her and smiling.

The mountain ghost girl sat there ostentatiously and seductively. There were thousands of civil and military officials, as well as the imperial guards, but no one noticed her except Yun Qingqing.

Yun Qingqing nodded slightly at her and looked away.

The loud bells rang, and the auspicious time arrived.

Yun Bailian, wearing a gorgeous sacrificial dress, walked up to the altar step by step, started to pray with a long speech.

The structure of this Altar of Heaven and the entire square is unique. If a person stands in the center and speaks loudly, everyone in the square can hear him clearly.

Yun Bailian had been practicing hard for this moment for a long time in the past few days. The gorgeous and dignified dress, the solemn atmosphere of the ceremony, and her already exceptionally sweet voice made her look like an immortal, which made the people of the whole city admire her.

If it weren't for the strict ban on making noise at this moment, the people would have already burst into praise.

After successfully reciting the blessing speech, Yun Bailian poured wine and worshipped heaven and earth under the guidance of the ceremonial officer.

Before pouring the wine, she quietly crushed all the luck beads hidden in her sleeves.

But after a moment, the people outside suddenly became agitated.

"What's this?"

"Huh? Where do all these butterflies come from?"

"It's already winter, how come there are still butterflies?"

By now the blessing had been read out, and according to etiquette there was no need to remain silent, so the low-pitched commotion quickly spread like ripples, and more and more people uttered sounds of surprise.

The butterflies flew over everyone's heads and gracefully flew towards the center of the square. Finally, they surrounded Yun Bailian, dancing up and down.

At first, there were dozens or even hundreds of butterflies. As the civil and military officials and the people exclaimed in amazement, the number of butterflies increased. There were actually tens of thousands of butterflies, circling around the white lotus, glowing with colorful colors in the sunlight, forming a spectacle that the world had never seen before!

Yun Bailian raised the corners of his mouth high, slowly raised his arms, and shouted:

"A miracle! This is a miracle!"

"May God bless Daliang! The people are blessed!"

After a moment of silence, the entire square erupted in thunderous cheers.

"God has sent down a miracle!"

"The Crown Princess is a Phoenix! It is a blessing for Daliang!"

"It's a miracle brought by the Crown Princess!"

Even the civil and military officials could not contain themselves and cheered in unison with the people.

The emperor was extremely pleased:

"Great, great! We have Tianfeng in Daliang. It's a blessing from our ancestors! It's a gift from heaven!"

Yun Qingqing's eyes were cold as she turned towards the figure on the palace wall.

Zhi Zhiluo had already stood up and looked at Yun Bailian who was cheering with a sarcastic look on her face, and raised her hand.

Amidst the thunderous cheers, there was suddenly an unusual noise.

At first no one noticed, but the sound got closer and closer, and became more and more obvious. Finally, someone turned around and exclaimed:

"Look! What is that!"
