When everyone heard Pei Jingyun's voice, several roars came from far above their heads.

The sound was very dull, like two boulders colliding, and it sounded every five breaths.At first, the sound was just like the humming of gnats, very weak, and then it gradually became louder.Shen Yuexi couldn't hear what was going on for a while, and looked at Xiao Zhuo puzzled.

Xiao Zhuo looked up at the top of his head and said, "Let's go down quickly."

Seeing Xiao Zhuo's solemn expression, Shen Yuexi knew that the voice above her head was probably not a good thing, so she hurried down.

Everyone hastily walked down for a while, there were still dozens of steps away from the corner where Pei Jingyun made her voice, the roar from above her head became clearer, and the ground under her feet trembled slightly.

"Come down sooner," Pei Jingyun's voice sounded again, "If it's later, the last door will fall down, and you will be caught between the two doors."

"It's the sound of the gate falling," Mei Dai waved in front of her, "Hurry up, the last gate is ahead."

Only then did Shen Yuexi hear the sound of the door falling above her head, and hurried down the steps with the others.

When they came to the platform at the corner, the roar above the head sounded again.This time the sound was very loud, as if it sounded above everyone's heads through a layer of stone slabs, causing dust to fall from the cracks in the stone walls.

Shen Yuexi held the parrot Liuli in her arms, Xiao Zhuo took her hand, crossed the slowly falling gate in front of her, followed Mei Dai and Shen Lan into the house.

The last gate slammed to the ground behind everyone, completely cutting off the escape route.

Shen Yuexi pushed the heavy iron gate, but the iron gate was cold and hard, so she had no choice but to turn around.

Unlike the narrow corridor just now, the space in front of me suddenly opened up. It was a spacious square hall with a length and width of about seventy steps.The ceiling above the head is more than three meters high from the ground, engraved with the pattern of the starry sky, and nine golden dragons are evenly distributed in the starry sky.The surrounding walls are carved with exquisite murals, and there is a recessed platform every three feet, and a glazed lamp is burning inside.

In the very center of the hall is a platform on which two white sarcophagi are placed side by side, and the sarcophagus on the right has no cover.Pei Jingyun was standing beside the coffin on the left, and was gently brushing the dust with her sleeve.

Xiao Zhuo pulled Shen Yuexi a little, and pointed her eyes at her.

No matter what danger he is in, Xiao Zhuo will never forget what he should do.It was like this when he was hunted down by Ji Zhong, and now facing Pei Jingyun, he still didn't forget the greeting he should have.

Shen Yuexi nodded, and the two of them stepped forward to salute Pei Jingyun together, "I've seen my mother."

"Do you believe in souls?" Pei Jingyun said calmly with her back turned to them, "Do you believe in an afterlife?"

Shen Yuexi looked at the two coffins in front of her.Just now Pei Jingyun said that this is the tomb of Emperor Qi Ming.The one on the left should be Qi Ming Emperor Xiao Ming, and the other person who can be placed side by side with Xiao Ming can only be Pei Jingyun in terms of qualifications.

Xiao Zhuo also noticed it, and after greeting Pei Jingyun, he pulled her to kneel down in front of Xiao Ming's coffin to worship.During this period, Pei Jingyun didn't look back at all, but just wiped the surface of the coffin there.

The two got up, and Shen Lan tremblingly said beside him: "Mrs. Pei, have you locked yourself and us in this tomb?"

Pei Jingyun's voice softened, but with a lonely smile on her face, she said, "That's right, I should have followed my husband to the Anzhou hunting ground. But I still have things to do, so I dragged it until now. Husband is waiting for me on the road, he must be waiting impatiently."

Seeing that she seemed to have no doubts about the soul and the afterlife in her tone, Shen Yuexi said, "Mother, I don't think there is a soul in this world."

"Really? I didn't believe it at first, but I believe it now." Pei Jingyun turned around and looked at Xiao Zhuo and Shen Yuexi in front of her. "As I expected, all the descendants of that bitch have come here." .”

She let out a cold laugh, which was both proud and miserable.

Xiao Zhuo's face turned cold, and he said to Pei Jingyun, "Don't insult my biological mother."

Shen Yuexi also showed anger, and said to Pei Jingyun: "Mother, I know you hate Empress Wen. But she has passed away for more than a year, the dead are the most important, how can you speak evil words."

Seeing that both of them were angry, Pei Jingyun not only didn't stop, but laughed even louder, and said, "I know what you are here for, and you want me to give up revenge. But I tell you clearly, that's not right. It is possible that you will all die here soon.”

Mei Dai was checking the iron gate, when she heard Pei Jingyun's words, she turned around and asked, "Madam Pei, did you plan to lure us here from the beginning, and then close the gate?"

Pei Jingyun stopped laughing, and said to Mei Dai: "Yes, I knew you would definitely come to me, and I purposely lured you down. Nineteen iron gates have fallen into the passageway, and in another quarter of an hour, the sea will rush in." Enter the passage, and seal the passage completely...Even if you have the means to reach the sky, you will not be able to escape the death place I arranged."

Shen Yuexi was horrified.The nineteen iron gates are dropped at the corners of each downward staircase.Including the first step, they walked a total of 300 stone steps, which is [-] meters deep, and they must have reached the depths of Guiyun Island.If the channel is submerged, it will become an isolated underwater cave. Not only can outsiders not be rescued, but they will also be unable to breathe, and will suffocate to death.

Pei Jingyun would use her body as bait to lure them here, which she never expected.

Mei Dai and Shen Lan looked at each other, then hurriedly ran towards the wall of the tomb.Xiao Zhuo held her trembling hand and said to Pei Jingyun, "Once the sea water pours in, my mother will die too."

"I said it just now," Pei Jingyun glanced at him fearlessly, "I should have died a long time ago."

She turned her head to see Shen Lan and Mei Dai groping up and down the wall to find the mechanism, and said with a smile: "Don't worry, this mausoleum was designed by myself. There is no mechanism on the wall, only a hole for ventilation. It will be sealed by the sea. I have already said, you have a last wish, you better tell each other quickly."

Shen Yuexi looked at the ceiling, and there was indeed a one-foot-square air hole, which seemed to be used for ventilation, and it must lead to the ground.But people cannot enter or exit.

Xiao Zhuo said: "Mother, my younger brother and younger siblings are still in the city, don't you want to see them?"

Pei Jingyun said coldly: "Why do you want to meet them? They have been helping you all the time, and I have long since disowned them. Otherwise, how could I let the Musketeers fight with them?"

Shen Yuexi said: "In order to avenge Queen Wen, you are going to kill your own children together?"

Pei Jingyun laughed, opened her arms and said, "Yes, I am an inhuman woman. I raised Heng'er to let him kill the man next to you with his own hands. But Heng'er is too weak, he can't do it." Yes. It doesn’t matter, it’s the same if I do it.”

Shen Yuexi was shaking with anger, and said: "You are too much. Do you know what kind of torture and humiliation a woman who is such a good brother and sister suffers because of her brother? You still want the gunman to kill her!"

"Of course I know," Pei Jingyun's expression suddenly became agitated, "In order to save her life, Heng'er gave her to that King Doma of Xirong. What about me, I not only want to give that bitch to Brother Ming, but also And watch it with your own eyes from the window.”

It was only then that Shen Yuexi discovered that what Xiao Beiheng did was exactly what Pei Jingyun did.I don't know if like a mother like a son, or if Pei Jingyun made Xiao Beiheng like that.Xiao Beiheng has already come out of the abyss, and he has obtained Su Mo's understanding.When it came to Pei Jingyun, there was no room for change.

Xiao Zhuo's face was ashen, and he held the long sword at his waist and said: "My biological mother said that she didn't want to be a queen. She only endured it for 20 years because she was pregnant with me."

"Did that slut tell you in Yuzhongling?" Pei Jingyun's eyes turned red, and she raised her voice, "She endured it for 20 years? A joke! She was originally just the daughter of a poor family, but I gave her 20 years of love." The life of an empress. What right does she have to say she doesn't want to? When she was living a life of luxury in the duke's mansion, I was the one who took care of her in that dilapidated home... What about her, what did she do?"

When Pei Jingyun spoke of her sadness, her whole body trembled slightly, and she grabbed the white hair hanging down her cheeks with both hands.

"When I learned from Dr. Hua that she was happy, I almost went crazy. But I still have to bear it. I haven't sent her to the palace to replace me. So I have survived all this. This is my careful arrangement. Yes, I want to give my innocent self to my husband. But that... bitch, she shamelessly took away my husband's heart... Look at me, look at me, I am Brother Ming The little girl I saved was not that bitch, no!"

She tore at her hair angrily, tearing strands of white hair from her scalp.
