Return of the Swallow

Chapter 248: Asking the Sky (Part 2)

Xuan Suguan used to be a royal courtyard, and the people waiting for it would not be able to see its true content. In the past, passing by, they could only cross the tall courtyard wall and see the magnificent palace built on the mountainside in the distance.

Now that I enter the gate, I enter the brightly lit courtyard. Everywhere along the lake, there is a white marble lamppost with candlelight jumping inside, reflecting a dreamlike light and shadow on the lake, lining the palace under the night. The more brilliant.

The people flocked to the main hall along the white marble arch bridge and the path surrounding Jinghu Lake.

The wide square in front of the hall is covered with neatly arranged floor tiles, surrounded by elegant potted plants, flowers bloom in the flower beds, and the breath is full of sandalwood and floral aromas.

At this time, hundreds of Taoist aunts were meditating in front of the square in front of the temple.

The imperial guards held the hilt of the knife and stood still in the dark under the Danchi, each with their eyes like a torch.

Under the high-hanging eaves of the palace lanterns, two beautiful maidservants in Tsing Yi stood on the left and the other, with a woman in white in the middle facing the crowd.

The woman was wearing a cascading white gauze skirt, her long hair pouring down like satin under the light.The night wind stroked her hair and skirt, faintly dusty.

The people who rushed to the front had stopped and stared blankly at the figure that looked like an immortal.

At this time, someone prevented the people from being crowded.

Soon, the square in front of the temple, the arch bridge, and the corridor by the lake were covered with people.There are still many people who have no chance to get close at all. Some climb up the rockery in the distance, and some climb up the wall to look out.

Although there are many people, a strange silence has spread on the square in front of the temple.

The people dared not speak loudly, as if they were afraid to startle the people on Dan Chi.

Qin Huaiyuan, the second master, and the third master were standing on the steps leading to the square at this time. Because they couldn't see the front clearly, they had to climb on the handrails on both sides and stand still with the trees.

When Qin Huaiyuan saw his daughter's dress up, he knew in his heart and felt a little relieved.

"Holy Woman."

At this time, someone in the crowd made a noise first.

Then the people on the square knelt down sparsely.

"Holy woman, please show us a way to survive!"

Some of the people were mourning and weeping, but none of them yelled loudly. Everyone turned their eagerly anticipating gaze on the man in white clothes.

Qin Yining turned around, took a few steps forward under the service of two Tsing Yi maidservants, and walked under the lamp.

The people nearby saw her face really, and they all looked straight.Ordinary people, where have they seen such a beautiful face.

The only thing she couldn't see from a distance was that she was dressed in white, and she seemed to be holding a little fluffy thing in her arms. Upon closer inspection, she was actually a white little rabbit.

Tianji’s criticism was first, and now I see a real person who is such a character. The people are even more convinced of her. Standing in front of the magnificent hall, the sense of mystery and sacredness is stronger than before. .

"Little girls are not talented, but a female stream, who can win the trust of the emperor, and pray for the country to be lucky for the three lives. I can only do my little work here all day long. It is a real honor to see all the folks today. Are you here today, what do you want to ask?"

The other courtyard is backed by the mountain and facing the water. It was built considering that some ceremonies would be held, and there were also emperors’ speeches. Therefore, the building was very close to each other. Qin Yining did not shout hoarsely, and let the people approaching the square. We heard her voice clearly.

The sense of sacredness grew stronger.

At this time, a woman asked boldly: "Holy woman, do you say we can live."

"Heaven's path cycle, each person's destiny has its own definite number. However, God has the virtue of good life, and it has always left a ray of life for people. As long as you persevere, you will surely see hope."

When the people heard the words, their faces were moved, and there was some hope in their hearts. Some people whispered to each other, but the atmosphere became lively.

Someone asked: "Holy Maiden, can we hold Kyoto City?"

"The current emperor is a Mingjun, and the soldiers who defend the city are all passionate men who are dedicated to the country. As long as everyone is united, not panic, not chaotic, and do not do things that endanger the Great Yan Dynasty, and do not add extra burden to the soldiers who defend the city. , I believe that as long as you try your best, even if the process will have tribulations and ups and downs, the result will be good and everyone will be able to survive."

As soon as these words came out, the people's faces finally saw smiles.

What they fear most is that mountains and rivers are broken and they will lose their homes.

To put it bluntly, everyone is afraid of death.

Now that they heard their "saints" say that as long as they work hard, everyone can pass this hurdle this time, and everyone's hearts are finally settled.

The second master and third master in the crowd were dumbfounded.

None of them knew that their niece would still be a "god stick", and they would have suppressed such a big scene.

Qin Huaiyuan finally let go of his heart.

From the beginning, he was worried that Qin Yining would show his timidity after seeing so many people. The temperament of the immortal out of dust would naturally be compromised, and what he said would not be convincing.

In fact, Qin Yining's remarks are just a piece of rhetoric. Although they are high-sounding, they actually have room for reversal. In the end, regardless of success or failure, the mistake will not be attributed to her.

But the people first felt that she was a saint who could protect the country. With the power of faith, she felt a lot sacred when she looked at her. Qin Yining also deliberately created such an environment like a fairy palace. Her appearance, dress and environment In the eyes of a group of ordinary people who have never seen the world, the impact is naturally not small.

Qin Huaiyuan nodded. It seems that her daughter has already understood the key to the present-since she has been labeled as a "saint," she can only confirm her identity. If she is pulled down, she will only die. very ugly.

"Holy woman." Another old man asked with a trembling voice, "It is said that the Supreme Emperor has sold all the grain from the treasury and taxes. There is no grain in the granary. We common people, there is not much grain in the family. But profiteers They sold the food for a dozen silver a catty. Saint, can you punish the profiteers and let them hand over the food?"

"Yes, saint, profiteers are too damnable!"

...

The people scolded the grain merchants all the time. Although they hated the deeds of the Emperor, no one dared to curse the Emperor in person.

This is what Qin Yining is embarrassing about now.

The stakes are too complicated for her to explain to the people, and to solve the food problem, the emperor's cooperation is necessary.

So she smiled and said: "I already know about this. Tomorrow, I will put on the altar here to ask the sky, and I believe that God will have an answer."

The people were in an uproar upon hearing this.

Their saints have to ask God for their food?

Since you can ask the gods, you must have real ability!

She really can protect the saint of Da'an!

Everyone was pleasantly surprised and panicked, kowtow one after another and said in unison: "Thank you Saintess."

Seeing everyone doing this, Qin Yining let out a sigh without a trace, holding Er Bai, and bringing Jiyun and Qiu Lu into the hall.

Some imperial guards came to organize the people to leave, saying loudly: "Don't crowd, go slowly!"

Qin Huaiyuan stood in the corner with the second and third masters, and finally heaved a sigh of relief as he watched tens of thousands of ordinary people leave obediently again like a tide.

"My niece is extraordinary, she can hold the scene in front of tens of thousands of people. If I want to change to be me, I would have been confused!" The second master patted his chest.

Qin Huaiyuan smiled bitterly and waved his hand: "It's just a matter of catching the ducks on the shelves. She is also a procrastination strategy. Second brother and third brother, let's meet Sister Yi and discuss countermeasures.
