Chapter Ninety-Eight: Seven Days (Part II)
The king of Yunya Country should have a full thirty-six complicated and solemn ceremonial procedures from the announcement to the ceremony, but in times of crisis, time is limited, and Chu Xun has to simplify these.
Under the witness of everyone in the palace, Chu Xun carried Bingruo to sit on the queen's chariot, and they went to the underground palace of the Yunya Palace together, and everyone dispersed.
Bingruo rubbed the silky red wedding dress, looked down through the gap in the red hijab, and looked down at Chu Xun's big red robe that was slightly swaying with his footsteps, and was in a trance.
Chu Xun led Bingruo all the way deeper, constantly waving his sleeves as he walked, and then a heavy lock fell behind him.
They arrived at the depths of the underground palace, surrounded by red silk brocade tents, double happiness red candles swaying without wind, and on a delicate table with vermilion lacquer forged surface, the food was warm and the wine was hot, and there was a strange fragrance.
Bingruo heard the sound of Chu Xun going to the desk to pick up the hijab and the weigher rod, and suddenly came back to his senses, and before Chu Xun came to pick the hijab, he had already lifted it by himself.
"Chu Xun, Chu Xun, listen to me, I ......"
Chu Xun interrupted her and smiled: "We finally got married, and from now on, we will be a couple for the rest of our lives, thank you Bingruo." ”
He picked up the wine jug from the table and slowly poured the wine into the two white jade ear cups, "Drink it first for your husband." Then he raised his glass and drank it down.
Chu Xun handed another wine glass to Bingruo, who took the wine glass tremblingly, hesitating.
At this moment, the ground began to shake, and gravel began to fall on the beams overhead, the stone door behind the two of them "boomed" and shattered, the icy wine glass fell to the ground, the wine jug, cup, plate and disk on the desk were shattered one by two, and the sound of porcelain blossoming was thrilling to listen to the empty underground hall.
"Liang Bingruo, we're here!"
Chu Xun and Bingruo turned their heads suddenly, but saw Xia Xian Jinbao and Ah Tuan at the door.
Chu Xun's eyes widened angrily, and without saying a word, he drew his sword and stabbed at Xia Xian, if Bing couldn't stop it, the two of them would fight in the hall in an instant.
Because the two of them were fighting, and both of them were dressed in fiery red clothes, the people who watched were dazzled and difficult to distinguish, Jinbao was afraid that the hypnotic spell would lose his head, and seeing the danger here, he hurriedly stepped forward and rushed out of the door with Bingruo.
The lock of the door has already been destroyed by Jinbao, he fled to the outside of the palace with Bingruo and Ah Tuan, at this time the outside environment has become even worse, the ground is shaking, the rain is pouring, and the black clouds are getting lower and lower, like a fierce beast to pounce down and devour them!
They looked back at the crumbling Cloud Cliff Palace, and Jinbao shouted through the valley: "All the people in the palace, come out quickly! The palace is about to fall!"
When the people in the palace heard this, one or two rushed out one after another. Bingruo stared at the crowd, and finally saw Chu Xun, Qing'er and Grandma Sun, who were surrounded by a group of soldiers, also come out. Bing Ruo nervously searched for Xia Xian's shadow, but she didn't see it, she left Jin Bao and the others, and ran towards the palace in the face of the flow of people, Jin Bao was also looking left and right to find Xia Xian, but he didn't notice that Bing Ruo slipped under his nose.
After a while, Xia Xian ran to Jinbao, only to see that Ah Tuan didn't see Bingruo, and exclaimed, "What about Liang Bingruo?"
Jinbao realized that Bingruo was gone, and said in a panic: "I was still there just now, did I go in to find you?"
As soon as Jinbao's words fell, Xia Xian rushed towards the Cloud Cliff Palace like an arrow off the string.
Just when Xia Xian went back to the palace to find Bingruo's stall, Chu Xun's uncle Wang, the regent of Yunya Kingdom, had already led a large number of troops to maintain the people of the whole country, and rushed to Yunya Mountain together with the outsiders in the courtyard of the bee tower. From the top of the mountain to the mountainside and then to the bottom of the mountain, there were black heads everywhere, everyone wore hats and robes, all of them looked anxious and sad, full of fear and despair.
When Xia Xian found Bingruo, the Cloud Cliff Palace was already empty, and there were only the two of them left. From time to time, there were stones falling from the beams of the house, Xia Xian looked at Bingruo who was holding his head and dodging among the falling rocks from a distance, while shouting his name again and again, his nose was sour and his heart trembled.
"Liang Bingruo, you fool!"
Bingruo heard that it was Xia Xian's voice, and turned around excitedly, but when she saw that Xia Xian, who was in a fiery red body, was running towards her, she happily ran in the direction of Xia Xian, and the bodies of the two were about to converge, and with a "crackle" sound, the ground between them quickly cracked, and the rift expanded rapidly, and finally cracked into an insurmountable, wide, and deep gap between them.
They fell to their knees on the ground in a daze, helplessly and desperately stretching their arms to each other, but they could no longer hold each other.
Their bodies leaned forward, and if they went a little further, their center of gravity would lead them into the bottomless abyss in front of them.
The Cloud Cliff Palace, a magnificent building built in the middle of the Cloud Cliff Mountain, gradually disappeared when the gap between Xia Xian and Bing Ruo was opened. At this time, the two of them, like everyone around them, were exposed to dark clouds, thunder, and rain.
And unlike the people on the mountain, they were on the edge of the rift, behind them were the Yunya countrymen and outsiders who happened to stay on their side, and in front of them was a bottomless chasm seven or eight feet away from the opposite side.
Chu Xun happened to be on Xia Xian's side, and he didn't expect that before he could open this emergency passage to the outside world, it would automatically crack. Chu Xun walked to Xia Xian's side, squatted down, looked at Bingruo on the opposite side from a distance, and said to Xia Xian: "You guys go down from here, this is the way to the outside world." ”
Xia Xian looked at the dark abyss below in disbelief, and then turned his head to look at Chu Xun, not knowing whether to believe it or not.
No one dared to jump first, not even Jinbao, who was not a mortal, hesitated.
The rain gradually stopped, the earth shook and the mountains gradually stabilized, only the dark clouds were still increasing and deepening, and the whole Yunya Mountain became very quiet for a while, only the low sobs of people came from time to time.
The black clouds were getting lower and lower, and Chu Xun was more and more aware of it.
Chu Xun looked at his complexion, which had begun to slowly fade, and smiled gloomily. He stood up again, faced everyone, and said in a loud voice: "Citizens of the Cloud Cliff Kingdom, this king is not talented, he did not protect you, this king is here, I apologize to you." ”
After speaking, he first turned around and knelt down, and bowed to the people in the eastern mid-mountain. Then he got up again and turned to the people in the western mid-mountains on the opposite side, knelt down, and bowed.
Chu Xun got up again, his face was calm, and he said to everyone: "There is a secret in the Yunya Kingdom, only the heirs of the Chu royal family have been passed down from generation to generation, and now this king will tell everyone." The Cloud Cliff Kingdom was originally an illusion, and sooner or later it would disappear, but this king did not expect this day to come so early. Everything in the Cloud Cliff Country is illusory, including the people of the Cloud Cliff Country, you, me, and him will eventually return to nothingness. Now, all outsiders in the country can jump out of this chasm and return to your world, and the natives of the Cloud Cliff Country, this king will wait with you to return to the dust......"
Many people in the crowd burst into tears, and Bingruo also rolled down tears, and she mourned in her heart when she thought that Chu Xun would no longer exist.
Chu Xun looked at Bingruo, held back his tears, and said with a smile: "Before I died, I met you because of the kindness of the mirror maker. Don't be sad, don't be nostalgic, because if you outsiders are nostalgic for the Cloud Cliff Illusion, or the illusory Cloud Cliff people, even if you jump off this chasm, you won't be able to get to the outside world......"
Bing Ruoyao nodded, Chu Xun's departure was inevitable, and she still had a long way to go.
"Remember, when you go down, you must have no distractions, and do not think of coming back, or you will never be able to go again. ”
The outsiders in the courtyard of the bee tower wiped their tears and nodded.
"Remember, you must live well, never commit suicide again, well, live ......"
All the outsiders bowed down to Chu Xun in unison, and one by one they wept silently.
"Go ahead. After saying this, Chu Xun closed his eyes, turned around immediately, and a tear slipped down his cheek, he was a strong man in Bingruo's mouth, how could Bingruo see him crying.
All outsiders have reached the edge of the chasm, but no one dares to jump first.
Ah Tuan came to Bingruo's side and said to everyone: "If Liang Bingruo is the princess, she is also an outsider, this ditch should be Liang Bingruo jump first!"
Bingruo naturally heard the hostility in Ah Tuan's words, but she no longer had the strength to get angry to refute, she was not afraid of anything, Chu Xun would never harm her and lie to her, she didn't want to jump first just because she was reluctant to Chu Xun, reluctant to Sun Mama and Qing'er. Especially Chu Xun, she just wanted to stay here a little longer and look at him a few more times.
"Alright, I'll do it first. Xia Xian glared at Ah Tuan dissatisfied, took a deep breath, and just wanted to jump, but was stopped by Jinbao. Jin Bao didn't trust Chu Xun very much, and he was afraid that Xia Xian would make a mistake, so he categorically wouldn't allow Xia Xian to be the first bird.
"Don't stop me, you don't dare to jump, won't let me jump first?"
"Don't be so impulsive, who knows if what the king said is true!"
While the two were pulling, the red flame red horse behind Xia Xian let out a long roar and rushed straight down the abyss, and everyone was shocked. After a while, the moon frost not far away also jumped down......
Bingruo tearfully bowed to Chu Xun opposite: "King, if Bing is guilty, Chu Xun, I'm sorry for you." ”
After speaking, Bingruo jumped down, Xia Xian was startled, and hurriedly jumped down, and Jinbao had no choice but to jump down with them.
A dark void, the world swirling.
Bingruo felt a violent weightlessness, dizziness, and heartache, feeling that her tears were not falling as fast as her body.
She seemed to see her tears gathering into a river in front of her, and on the other side of the river of tears, Chu Xun's well-eyebrowled face, strong chest, thick arms, and the sentence "Strong man?"
Chu Xun's outline became clearer and clearer, and Bingruo's heart became more and more painful, until a golden shadow grabbed her and whispered in her ear: "Bingxian, relax, don't think about him anymore, you will never be able to get out of the people and things that are nostalgic for the Cloud Cliff Illusion Realm......"
As soon as Jinbao fell into this tunnel to the outside world, he was in a hurry to find Bingruo. He had witnessed the entanglement between Bingruo and Chu Xun for more than a year, and he knew that Bingruo would definitely not be able to let go of Chu Xun, so he had to make an exception again. He blew lightly on Bingruo's face, and Bingruo was no longer conscious, and continued to fall as Jinbao continued to fall.
Ah Tuan fell rapidly in the tunnel, and her heart was happy when she passed by Xia Xian, but in just a moment, her face changed greatly.
"Brother Xia Xian, the painting you gave me fell in Yunya Country, what can I do!"
Xia Xian heard someone calling him, his eyes widened, and when he saw that it was Ah Tuan, he hurriedly grabbed her, and said hurriedly: "Okay sister, that was not painted by me, it was painted by someone else, I was teasing you before!"
Ah Tuan burst into tears: "No, you lied to me...... You painted it and gave it to me, your pseudonym is Xu Zishan, the painting was given to me by you, I want to go back and get ......"
Xia Xian was shocked and hugged her tightly: "No, no, no, I didn't paint it, I'm not Xu Zishan! Sister, don't think about it anymore, don't think about going back!"
But Ah Tuan still refused to believe it, kept crying and crying, and clamored to go back to Yunya Country to get the painting.
Xia Xian found that her body was becoming more and more transparent, no matter how she persuaded her, she cried and wanted to go back, her body was so transparent that she was about to see clearly, Xia Xian's heart fell straight down, helplessness, remorse, guilt, layer by layer surged into her heart.
In the end, Ah Tuan's body became a speckled point of light, which drained from Xia Xian's arms little by little, Xia Xian knew that he had no skills to return to the sky, so he hugged her more tightly, comforting the fat girl who couldn't stop crying: "Good sister, Brother Xia Xian is the one who is teasing you, who else can draw such a good picture except me...... Go get it, my brother is waiting for you here......"
Ah Tuan really smiled.
Xia Xian let go of her, and saw her smile and float upward, gradually turning into a point of light, scattering and disappearing without a trace......
