The Romance of the West Chamber: The Bells are Ringing

Zhang Gong, Cui Yingying, Mrs. Cui Xiangguo, Du Que and others stood outside the military formation, with triumphant smiles on their faces. They all felt that they finally succeeded in getting rid of Qintong Zongdan and Tian Hongniang.

However, when they looked up towards the center of the military formation, they found a red light rising straight into the sky. This light gave them a sense of surprise.

"Hey, this red light is a bit like the fireworks in the imperial palace that I saw from a distance in the capital city of Chang'an on the day I won the top prize." Zhang Gong looked at the red light and wondered in his heart.

Cui Yingying and Mrs. Cui Xiangguo also looked at the red light curiously. They didn't know what it was.

"General Du, why are there fireworks in the military formation?" Cui Yingying turned to Du Que and asked, "Are these used by your army to celebrate victory?"

Du Que didn't seem to hear the question. He stared blankly at the red light, and his face instantly turned pale. He said with a trembling voice: "Chi, Chi, Chi Xiao! That's Chi Xiao! That's Chi Xiao!"

Zhang Gong, Cui Yingying, and Mrs. Cui Xiangguo were a little confused when they heard this answer.

"Chixiao?" Zhang Gong frowned, "Isn't that the Chixiao Sword in that dog slave's hand? Could Chixiao be talking about the light emitted by the Chixiao Sword?"

Cui Yingying shook her head and said: "But just now I saw that the sword in the hands of the dog slave was dark and had no luster? Not to mention the red light."

Mrs. Cui Xiangguo nodded and said: "Yes, hum, and what if it's Chi Xiao? Can he still eat us?"

Du Que nodded blankly and murmured: "Yes, Chi Xiao can eat people, Chi Xiao can eat people! The reports I got said that everyone who saw Chi Xiao went crazy!"

Everyone was shocked, Zhang Gong said: "Brother, isn't it? How could this happen? Where did you get the information?"

"Weizhou, Weizhou's tip-off!" Du Que whispered quietly, "More than one tip-off said so."

Cui Yingying smiled and said: "Impossible, how could such a thing happen!"

"Hahaha," Mrs. Cui Xiangguo also shook her head slightly and said, "I have never heard of it in all my life."

At this moment, I saw a sudden commotion in the military formation. A strange sound came from the center of the army. It seemed that someone was breathing in a low voice. The breathing sound became louder and louder, and gradually, it pierced everyone. ears.

Cui Yingying couldn't bear it anymore. She covered her ears with her hands and said in horror: "Then, what is that sound?"

Mrs. Cui Xiangguo is old and somewhat deaf, but she also begins to feel agitated.

Zhang Gong opened his eyes wide and saw that the red sky in the middle of the military formation was getting brighter and brighter. Not only did it go straight to the sky, but it also spread to all directions. He was a little strange and asked Du Que: "Brother, look at that red light, oh , No, why did Chi Xiao, you mentioned, scatter in all directions?"

Du Que gave a bitter smile and said tremblingly: "That's because the soldiers who were close to Chi Xiao fell down one after another."

After Zhang Gong, Cui Yingying, and Mrs. Cui Xiangguo heard this, they were terrified and wanted to run away, but they felt that their feet were heavy and they could not move forward.

Zhang Gong grabbed Du Que and said in panic: "Brother, why can't I walk?"

"People who see Chi Xiao." Du Que shook his head blankly and said, "They can't even walk."

Zhang Gong was startled, thinking that Du Que had a precise report, so he must be right. The only solution now is to close your eyes and stop looking at Chi Xiao.

So he turned around and embraced Cui Yingying and said, "Yingying, madam, hurry up! Close your eyes!"

But Cui Yingying and Mrs. Cui Xiangguo seemed to turn a deaf ear, and just stared at Chi Xiao, their eyes unblinking.

Zhang Gong was so horrified that he had to try hard to close his eyes, only to realize that no matter what, his eyelids refused to close.

Moreover, I saw the red sky filling the sky, changing with alluring brilliance, attracting me tightly. I wanted to turn my head away, but found that it was impossible to do so.

I felt a strong wind blowing towards my face, getting stronger and stronger. Sand and stones flew in the air, reflecting the red light in the sky. They seemed to be luminous particles, slowly rotating around the center of the military formation.

I saw the military formation in front gradually moving forward. It seemed that the soldiers were slowly walking towards the center of the military formation.

Zhang Gong, Cui Yingying, Mrs. Cui Xiangguo, and Du Que were unable to move and could only stand upright and look towards Chixiao.

I saw the mist of the red sky, turning into charming images. Everyone saw something different.

In Zhang Gong's eyes, he could see that the red sky was full of charming young ladies, all of whom were on their way to Beijing to take the exam, as well as the singers in the brothels of Chang'an City. Each of them was charming and flashed one by one. , charming Zhang Gong.

But in Cui Yingying's eyes, in the red sky were the scholars she had met before. They were all handsome and suave, each with their own style, and their seductive eyes were full of seductive temptation.

Mrs. Cui Xiangguo saw her daughter enjoying endless joy in the towering hall, and her son Huanlang, under the protection of the Cui family, rose step by step, became the prime minister, and inherited Cui Xiangguo's mantle. The family has been in charge of government affairs for generations.

Du Que had received a tip. He knew clearly that all this was an illusion, but he couldn't resist it. Staring at the red sky, he continued to attack cities and land, expand his army, and finally control the court.

Only Elder Faben and Monk Facong had escaped from the disaster by closing their eyes while chanting sutras. However, at this time, their chanting sounds became clearer.

Zhang Gong, Cui Yingying, Mrs. Cui Xiangguo, and Du Que were in a dreamlike state. They saw the soldiers in the last row of the military formation in front of them falling forward one after another. After falling, they were still struggling to move forward and crawling forward with their hands. Reaching out to grab something.

As this row of soldiers fell, a dazzling red light rushed towards them, piercing everyone's faces.

I saw the red light steaming like mist, without any definite pattern, that was Chi Xiao.

Chi Xiao came from the center of the military formation in the distance. Everyone looked around and saw a man riding a horse, holding a long sword high, the tip of the sword pointed directly upward, and a woman with her head buried in his arms.

The blade of the long sword emitted a dazzling red light, illuminating the surrounding area red. The two people and the horse became black silhouettes under the light of the red sky, and the red sky reflected their clear faces. contour.

Wind and clouds surged around the sword body, ruffling their hair and dancing in the wind.

Zhang Gong, Cui Yingying, Mrs. Cui Xiangguo, and Du Que felt that their throats were tight and they couldn't help but gasp loudly. They stretched out their hands towards Chi Xiao and staggered forward with their legs involuntarily.

The four of them stumbled and took a few steps, but they couldn't hold on. Their feet became weak and they fell to the ground. However, they were still trying to crawl forward, grabbing hold of their hands in the air, not knowing what they wanted to catch.

After climbing for a while, Mrs. Cui Xiangguo couldn't hold on anymore. Her body went limp, she closed her eyes and stopped moving.

Then, Cui Yingying, Zhang Gong, and Du Que all lowered their heads one after another. Their legs and feet twitched a few times and stopped moving. Their eyelids made a final struggle and were still closed.

However, everyone's posture was the same as that of all the soldiers in the military formation. Their hands were stretched out in the direction of the Chixiao Sword. Occasionally, their stiff fingers would twitch.

In mid-air, a bird flew by and was attracted by the red sky. It swooped down towards the red sky. In the bird's eyes, on the vast land, with that strange red light as the center, there were countless people. The head is facing the red light, which covers the earth and forms countless huge concentric circles, which may look like countless delicious insects.

The bird rushed straight down, through the strong wind, through the sand and gravel, through the dust and smoke, and when it was about to approach the Red Sky Sword, it finally fainted and glided to the ground.

Immediately afterwards, countless birds and flying insects fell down like raindrops.

In Hezhongfu City, the people suddenly discovered that the sky in the distance turned red, which was the direction of Pujiu Temple.

As the bells in Pujiu Temple rang leisurely, everyone couldn't help but fold their hands and chant the Buddha's name silently, thinking that this must be the Buddha's light shining everywhere. Tomorrow, they must take time to go to Pujiu Temple to burn incense!
