Where is Chapter 149?
Evening is fine too.
The "stars falling like rain" effect is even better at night.
"A hundred birds paying homage to the phoenix, this is a hundred birds paying homage to the phoenix..."
This wave didn't need any planning; knowledgeable people below the altar spontaneously knelt down and bowed in submission.
"A miracle, a miracle... The Goddess Yiguang has appeared..."
The outcry grew louder and louder.
boom--
Another loud bang.
A piercing light, more dazzling than all the flames combined, like a colossal sword of despair emerging from the depths of the underworld, instantly pierced the curtain of the entire sky.
An enormous fireball, with the power to crush everything, tore through the sky.
Its entire body was enveloped in extremely thick, incandescent flames, with a trail of flames stretching for dozens of feet. Its intense light instantly dimmed the bonfires that soared into the sky at the Qifengtai altar.
“Star…fall…” Even the ministers of the Imperial Observatory below the altar screamed in horror, their voices distorted.
boom--
Another loud bang.
The light of the falling star accompanied by a destructive roar as it plummeted downwards.
boom--
The magnificent tail, as if burning the heavens and earth, accompanied by a whistling sound powerful enough to shatter eardrums, plunged with perfect precision into the surface of the Bin River not far below Qifeng Terrace.
The imagined cataclysmic explosion and torrential flood did not materialize.
They simply can't come.
Mu Xi did her best, and the Nine Masters of the Nine Realms that Cao Pan'er found also did their best.
Yan Shu on Qifeng Terrace tonight has successfully completed her mission; Cao Pan'er on Turtle Back Mountain has also successfully completed her mission; now it's time to watch the boats on the Qiyingyu River.
Immediately afterwards, a loud noise came from the surface of the Bin River.
The people on and around the altar could no longer see it.
Only the guards on the roof of Qiyuan Tower shouted in surprise.
"Your Majesty..." Mu Xi didn't want to be too obvious in her guidance.
Princess Yan Ya then asked, "Would the young master be willing to accompany me upstairs for a look?"
Princess Yan Ya spoke, and Prince Yu Mu Ji reacted faster than anyone else: "I will escort the Lady."
Princess Yan Ya did not answer, but walked swiftly down the steps.
King Yu rushed forward to clear the way, and Mu Xi hurriedly followed.
The officials below quickly made way for them and followed closely behind.
When the group rushed to the top of Qiyuan Tower, they still had time to see the white steam rising from the surface of the Bin River and the turbid waves.
Mu Xi then asked, "Did any of you see the meteorite that fell into the water?"
The Red Carp Guards, wearing Red Carp masks, had no visible expressions, but none of them answered for a moment.
King Yu was also curious, so he asked again, "Didn't you see such a large fireball fall into the river from the rooftop?"
"Your Majesty, it seems there is..."
"Yes, it seems so..."
Several red carp echoed this sentiment.
Looking at the now calm river, Mu Xi felt a mix of worry and determination, but she had no choice but to proceed: "Oh dear, those boats have surrounded us. I wonder what they are?"
Princess Yanya smiled as she looked at Muxi: "The signs of the Golden Dragon's appearance in the world have just appeared, and stars have fallen from the sky, carrying the might of heaven straight into the Bin River and its deep pools... Could it be that this meteor is a 'divine revelation'? Just waiting to be retrieved?"
"Ah...hahaha...I don't understand..." Mu Xi felt guilty under his gaze.
Whenever Princess Yanya spoke, the King of Yu would respond: "Yes, yes... It should be salvaged, salvaged... Someone, pass down the order to have the boats on the river do their best to salvage, and whatever is salvaged should be presented to the emperor immediately."
"Yes," a palace attendant replied, relaying the order.
Prince Yu turned back and stared at Princess Yan Ya: "It's cool on the rooftop, would you like to come down and wait?"
Princess Yan Ya lowered her eyes and avoided looking at Prince Yu. She nodded slightly and then stepped downstairs.
The King of Yu carefully accompanied him down to the banquet hall on the third floor.
Afterwards, the officials took their seats again, and tea and refreshments were served once more.
Everyone started talking loudly, discussing what had just happened.
This time, Imperial Preceptor Xian Ling undoubtedly became the focus of everyone's questions.
Despite Mu Xi's best efforts to minimize her presence, she was instead targeted by Xian Ling.
Xian Ling seemed to truly believe the strange phenomena she had just witnessed, and kept pressing Mu Xi for answers.
Mu Xi forced herself to make up a story.
Fortunately, Princess Yan Ya, who was sitting behind the curtain to the right of Prince Yu, would occasionally chime in to help, thus preventing the secret from being exposed.
"Your Majesty is wise. The Mu family is descended from Emperor Yu Mu. 'Admiring the virtues of the two luminaries and inheriting the splendor of the three luminaries,' they are truly blessed by Heaven..."
"It seems we can now address Prince Jin Fang as 'Ling Xi' from now on."
"The Crown Prince Jin Fang possesses immense majesty, but unfortunately, in the realm of shamanism, women are considered the most spiritually connected. I wonder if the Crown Prince can achieve great things with such abilities?"
...
Just as Mu Xi was struggling to cope, an eunuch came to report: "Your Majesty, we've caught it! We've caught a ship!"
"Oh? Bring it here quickly." Yu Wang Muji immediately spoke.
The eunuch reported again: "Your Majesty, the meteorite is huge and the building is too narrow to lift up."
Before the words were even finished, Princess Yanya had already stood up from behind the curtain.
Yu Wang Muji hurriedly said, "Very well, all of you, please follow me downstairs for a look."
While addressing the group as "all ministers," they actually only escorted one person downstairs.
King Yu led his entourage to the open space where Qiyuan Tower and Qifeng Terrace meet.
From afar, dozens of river workers, soaked to the bone and covered in weeds and mud, with hunched backs and bulging veins, could be seen carrying a huge, dark rock on a makeshift wooden raft, struggling to get there.
Wow, this fake meteorite is huge!
Qi Yingyu lived up to expectations, but she certainly went to great lengths.
Mu Xi glanced at Qi Yingyu out of the corner of her eye in the crowd.
Qi Yingyu's short and plump figure, coupled with her understated gray satin dress, made her stand out among the group of women.
Despite feeling Mu Xi's gaze, he still grinned like a smiling Buddha.
Mu Xi blinked, indicating her approval.
As the fake meteorite was brought closer, it exuded an even greater sense of oppression.
Its dark exterior, covered in thick, brown river mud, was still wet, and water droplets dripped slowly down the gullies, giving off a strong smell that was a mixture of fishy and rusty odors.
The aura was cold, heavy, and deathly still, completely out of place with the surrounding flames that shone like daylight.
Mu Xi subconsciously focused her attention to look for words on it, but couldn't see anything for a moment.
In the flickering firelight, this meteorite appeared deep and viscous, like black jade.
Upon closer inspection, countless extremely fine silver-white crystals are densely packed within, like stardust frozen in time, flowing with the movement of light and shadow, emitting tiny, cold points of light.
It really doesn't stand up to scrutiny.
Mu Xi had never seen a meteorite before, and felt that a meteorite shouldn't look like this.
But that's not important. The key is the words.
She had originally intended to leave the words "Princess Sheng" discreetly on the fake meteorite, but now, even with her eyes straining and sore, she couldn't see them.
"Ah, there seem to be words on it..." At that moment, someone shouted from afar, "Jun...what..."
"Yes, there are words... there are words..."
“Hey, there seems to be a ‘yang’ character next to ‘君’ (jun).
"What 'Yang' character?" Mu Xi stared wide-eyed, searching for the "zhu" character in "nüjunzhusheng".
