Seeing that Pei Jingyun stopped talking to everyone, Shen Yuexi could only think of another way out.

Time is running out, and everyone in the tomb is trying to find a way.Mei Dai whispered something to Xiao Zhuo, while Shen Lan fumbled in front of the iron gate to see if she could find something like a switch.

Shen Yuexi came to the iron gate, bent her fingers and tapped on the heavy gate, and there was a dull metal echo, it was indeed not hollow.She wanted to let Big Bear collect it, but thinking of Pei Jingyun's warning that seawater would flood into the channel just now, she thought that Big Bear's battery is low, so it's better not to take risks.

Shen Lan looked nervous, and whispered to her: "Sister, maybe Mrs. Pei lied to us on purpose?"

Shen Yuexi was not sure either.Not to mention Pei Jingyun, even her son Xiao Beiheng is unpredictable.She likes to study things, and rarely socializes, trying to figure out people's hearts is not her strong point.

She walked up to Xiao Zhuo and Mei Dai, and was about to ask, Xiao Zhuo whispered in her ear, "Yue Xi, can Da Xiong create an upward passage like the time when he went down to Yuangu?"

Seeing the two of them biting their ears, Mei Dai knew it was a private matter, so she walked towards Shen Lan.

Shen Yuexi shook her head again and again: "Big Bear has used up most of the battery when he was on the beach, and now there is only a little left."

Xiao Zhuo frowned and said: "We have only two ways, either let our mother tell us the way to escape, or we can find it ourselves. Let's go to the iron gate to see, maybe there will be a mechanism."

The two of them came to the iron gate together, Mei Dai squatted down and said, "I didn't see any mechanism. If there is a gap, the four of us might be able to lift the gate together."

Pei Jingyun in the sarcophagus sneered: "Childish. The iron gate is not designed to be able to be opened and closed again. It is a gate that cannot be lifted after it falls."

Just as Shen Yuexi was about to reply, there was a booming sound from the passage in the iron gate, which seemed to be coming from a very high place, and then the sound of water rushing against the stone steps was vaguely heard, as if a small waterfall appeared in the passage.

The four of them looked at each other in blank dismay.Shen Lan said to Pei Jingyun: "Madam Pei, what's going on? The lights are still on."

Pei Jingyun sat up from the coffin, glanced at the glazed lamp on the wall, and said, "It's nothing, the time for the gunpowder to blow up the waterway has come earlier, even if you can open the iron gate now, you won't be able to escape."

Seeing that everyone's death was approaching, she not only didn't feel scared, but laughed in a low voice.

Shen Yuexi heard the sound of rushing water outside the gate, couldn't help grabbing Xiao Zhuo's sleeve nervously, and said to Xiao Zhuo: "Husband, what should we do now?"

Xiao Zhuo looked down at the gap between the gate and the ground, water had slowly overflowed from the lower edge of the gate, and quickly wetted the place where everyone was standing, and quickly pulled Shen Yuexi back to stand on dry ground.Then he cut off the clothes with a sword, rolled them into thin strips and stuffed them into the gap in the gate.

Mei Dai and Shen Lan didn't wait to be reminded, they also tore off the hem of their clothes to fill in the gap between the iron gates.

Everyone struggled to survive, but there were only three leaking gaps in the iron gate, and they were plugged with cloth strips, and the speed of the water overflowing was much slower, turning into dripping water droplets.Everyone breathed a sigh of relief and retreated to the dry ground near the sarcophagus.

Pei Jingyun sat in the sarcophagus and laughed non-stop. When she saw the crowd blocking the door, she shook her head and said, "It's useless. If you do this, you will just struggle for a while."

The other three were all staring at the door, and no one listened to her.

Shen Yuexi stood on the edge of the sarcophagus, and said to Pei Jingyun: "Mother, I know you have been tortured for so many years. Let whoever is wrong let it go, even if you want to kill me and Xiao Zhuo, but my child is Innocent."

Pei Jingyun stopped laughing, shook her head and said, "If you weren't pregnant with this man's child, I didn't want you to die."

After speaking, she reached out to touch Shen Yuexi's face.

Shen Yuexi's heart trembled, but she didn't avoid it.She didn't want to anger Pei Jingyun at this moment.Fortunately, Pei Jingyun's movements were also very light, just like a real mother touching her child.

"Everyone is dying, and I don't have to hide it. In fact, I admire you very much," Pei Jingyun said, with a rare warmth in her eyes. "You are probably the child most like me. You are determined. Persevering, able to make things that the world is amazed by... except not as cruel as me, hehe."

"Mother, since you appreciate me so much," Shen Yuexi said hastily, "then you let us live."

Pei Jingyun lowered her hand and said, "I said this is impossible. The seawater has already flooded the passage, and this tomb will also be flooded. Instead of begging me, you might as well talk to your man."

"Husband, what are you talking about?" Shen Yuexi grabbed Xiao Zhuo's arm with both hands and shook it.

Xiao Zhuo's face was cold, and Shen Yuexi didn't say a word despite shaking her arms.For him who is arrogant in his heart, it is probably harder than going to heaven to seek the enemy who killed his mother.

Seeing that Xiao Zhuo was indifferent, Shen Yuexi was about to persuade her again, when she heard the gate slamming on the ground, the cloth that blocked the gate could not stop the water pressure and was washed away, and a jet of water sprayed out from the gap and poured into the tomb.

"I come."

Shen Lan yelled, ran over to pick up the cloth, rolled it up, and blocked the door again.She found that the pressure of the water was very strong, and if she left the current, the cloth would be washed away again, so she turned her head and shouted, "The cloth can't be blocked."

As soon as she finished speaking, another gap on the other side of the gate was washed open by water, this gap was wider, and the water column was more urgent, spraying five feet away.Xiao Zhuo rushed over, stuffed the cloth strips, and directly inserted the tip of the long sword into the gap, barely blocking it.

The entire floor of the tomb was already wet with seawater, and the water penetrated through every hole, obviously it couldn't be blocked.Everyone stood in the water, the water surface had already covered the soles of their shoes, and their shoes and socks were soaked.

Everyone turned pale when they thought of what was going to happen next.

Mei Dai looked at Shen Yuexi's lower abdomen, knelt down on her knees in front of the sarcophagus, and said with tears:
"Mrs. Pei, the grievances between you and Xiao Zhuo and Shen Yuexi are your business. Shen Lan and I are outsiders, please let Shen Lan and me survive. On behalf of the soldiers and civilians of the four counties of Xiliang, I kneel down for you."

Shen Yuexi wanted to pull Mei Dai up, but Mei Dai gently pushed her away, saying: "Now I just want to survive, dignity is useless to me."

Pei Jingyun glanced at Mei Dai, and said with a smile: "Queen of Xiliang, you are really a woman who can bend and stretch, and the drama of bitterness is flawless. No wonder Emperor Yongde was confused by you. If I were stupid, I'm going to be moved by your rhetoric."

Mei Dai mourned: "Mrs. Pei, I really want to survive. If I die, the Mei family will die."

Pei Jingyun nodded: "It's true, the Mei family only has you as a daughter. Then why did you come down with them? Could it be that you think you are so powerful that you can deal with me? Besides, if I say leave The way here, you will definitely take them along, right?

Hearing Pei Jingyun's words, Shen Yuexi was both happy and worried.The joy is that Pei Jingyun said so, which means that she does have a way to leave here.The worry is to see what Pei Jingyun means, obviously she refuses to say it.

Mei Dai said: "I..."

"Hehe, the tomb is just that big. It doesn't matter if I tell you or tell others. But I won't make it difficult for you," Pei Jingyun pointed at Shen Yuexi, "As long as you kill these two people, I'll tell you to leave here right away." way, how?"

Mei Dai fell into the water as if struck by lightning, unable to make a sound.Shen Yuexi hurried forward to help her.

Pei Jingyun looked at the scene in front of her and burst out laughing until she burst into tears, saying:
"You don't want to play tricks in front of me. You dare not kill me, because only I know how to get out of here. But I will never tell you. The only person who can save you is the person who wants to kill you. This feeling is very desperate, right? Ever since I found out that that bitch was pregnant, I have been so desperate every day. It has been 21 years... how many 21 years are there in my life. Now this desperate day is finally coming to an end, and my heart is full of joy. Look, the lights are going out."

Shen Yuexi looked at the wall, and found that all the lights were faltering, and they were about to go out.

"Queen come quickly!" Shen Lan yelled in panic, "A few more places are spraying water. We can't stop it!"

"I'm here." Mei Dai yelled, running towards the gate with splashing water.

There are already six or seven water jets spraying out of the entire gate, Shen Lan blocked two places, Xiao Zhuo blocked three places with his hands and swords, but it was of no use. Although the water jets stopped spraying, the water flowed along the palms of the two of them. Come down and soak the sleeves of both of them.The long sword on the other side was embedded in the gap of the gate, and water flowed down the hilt.

The parrot Liuli could have parked on the ground, but now he had nowhere to land, so he had to land on Shen Yuexi's shoulder, flapping his wings, calling "Yuexi, good luck".

Shen Yuexi didn't care about the parrot anymore, she put her head in her hands, watched helplessly as the water under her feet gradually submerged her ankles, unable to do anything.

Pei Jingyun knew how to escape, but she refused to tell everyone.She already wanted to die, and she was not afraid of Xiao Zhuo's hands.For a woman who is not afraid of death, and even full of joy in her heart, how can she compromise?
