Exile opening: I won with the Universal Maker

Chapter 412
Water jets sprayed from the gap in the gate, and everyone frantically blocked it. They were all drenched and embarrassed.

Mei Dai wiped the water on her face, and shouted to Shen Yuexi: "Sister, the water is almost reaching the calf. Don't talk to Mrs. Pei, come and help, or everyone will drown here!"

Even though Xiao Zhuo and Mei Dai could dive, the water level kept rising, and eventually the entire tomb would be submerged. Shen Yuexi, who couldn't swim, would die first, and the rest of them couldn't breathe or survive in the water.

Shen Yuexi was anxious, and walked towards the gate while dripping water, saying "I'm coming too".

Xiao Zhuo was worried that the water from the gate would splash on Shen Yuexi's lower abdomen, so he quickly shouted: "Don't come here, sea water is not good for children."

Shen Lan said angrily: "Brother-in-law, it's already this time, and I'm still thinking about whether to have children or not. If you can't block the gate, you can't keep adults and children."

Shen Yuexi came to the gate, tore a strip of cloth and put it on the palm of her hand to block the gap of the water spray. The water jet hit her hand as if someone was pushing her, it was finally blocked, and she pressed her hands tightly together.Then the water trickled down her arms, drenching her whole body in an instant.Fortunately, it was very hot in the tomb, so it didn't feel cold.

The parrot Liuli couldn't stand being sprayed by the water jet, so she spread her wings and flew away, landing on the sarcophagus.

"Husband, you can't stop it like this," Shen Yuexi shouted to Xiao Zhuo, "the water is still coming out."

"At least the water coming in is not so urgent," Xiao Zhuo said, "If you let it go, the water will come in even harder."

All four of them blocked the gate and dared not leave.But the water was still being poured in, and soon it reached the calf, and the entire tomb was filled with water.The glazed lamps on the wall had been half extinguished, and the entire tomb had become dark. Only two waist-high sarcophagi could be seen above the water.Pei Jingyun sat in the sarcophagus on the right and looked at them with a smile, without any intention of helping them.

Mei Dai shook her head, and said to Xiao Zhuo with a sad face: "King An, what we are doing is futile... Unfortunately, no one can bring the words out, I am really not reconciled... I swore to protect the Mei family..."

When it came to the end, she was crying and couldn't continue.

Shen Lan is the most vulnerable of the four, and has been struggling to support herself.Seeing what Mei Dai said, and the water pouring into the tomb mercilessly, everyone had no choice but to cry out, "I don't want to die, someone will save us."

Xiao Zhuo pressed his hands on the gap in the gate, seeing that both Mei Dai and Shen Lan were about to collapse, he looked at Shen Yuexi again.

Shen Yuexi's mentality is much better.She had experienced many harsh things, and although she was afraid in her heart, she did not show it in her face.He calmly said to Xiao Zhuo: "Husband, our child has not yet been born, this is the thing I regret the most."

Xiao Zhuo didn't answer, let go of his hands, pulled out the long sword embedded in the gate, turned around and walked to the sarcophagus.

Seeing Xiao Yao approaching with a long sword in his hand, Pei Jingyun smiled indifferently and said, "If you keep blocking the door, you can live longer. If you want to kill me while you're alive, then do it. I've already treated myself as a dead person."

Shen Lan was crying there, Mei Dai and Shen Yuexi looked at Xiao Zhuo nervously, wondering what he was doing in front of Pei Jingyun.

Xiao Zhuo stared at Pei Jingyun with a flushed face, then bent her knees, knelt in the water, and said, "Mother, please save Yuexi. As long as you agree, I will kill myself in front of you immediately."

After finishing speaking, Xiao Zhuo put the long sword across his neck.

Shen Yuexi was shocked and shouted: "Husband, don't be impulsive."

Mei Dai shouted: "Sister, these three cloth strips of Wang An have been torn open, quickly help me to block them."

Xiao Zhuo left the gate, and the gaps he had blocked were washed away by the current.Now there are five or six water columns pouring water into the tomb at the gate.No matter how anxious Mei Dai and Shen Yuexi were, they only had two hands, which blocked the leak here and there.

Seeing Xiao Zhuo kneeling in front of her, Pei Jingyun couldn't help laughing out loud, and patted the edge of the sarcophagus with both hands: "That bitch's son knelt down for me, that bitch's son knelt down for me... Hahaha, it's a pity that she died earlier, so she couldn't see this moment."

Seeing that Pei Jingyun mentioned Wen Yi again, Shen Yuexi showed how much she hated Wen Yi in her heart.She also knew in her heart that with Xiao Zhuo's arrogant personality, she was able to kneel down to her mother-killing enemy only because Xiao Zhuo wanted to save her.In order to save her, Xiao Zhuo could give up everything.

At this time, the baby in her womb moved again, Shen Yuexi thought that she was about to die here, she couldn't help her nose sore, tears came out of her eyes, mixed with the water sprayed on her face, and dripped down her body.

Xiao Zhuo saw that Pei Jingyun was just laughing, and the water was almost up to everyone's knees, so he hurriedly urged: "Mother, stop laughing, please save Yuexi quickly."

Pei Jingyun stopped laughing, and said slowly: "What's the point in exchanging your life, you are going to die too. Only a fool would agree to your request. I am a dying person, and you are a dying person. Neither of us has any bargaining chips to trade with."

Xiao Zhuo looked sad, and said: "Do you hate my biological mother so much? She did everything according to your instructions. Things have come to this point, it is God's will. Why do you have to be entangled in this obsession?"

"It's her, it's her," Pei Jingyun turned from laughing to anger, and screamed as she patted the sarcophagus, "She took away everything I cherish, everything, you know!"

When she got excited, she covered her face with her hands and cried.

"She took away my husband's heart and the tokens my husband gave me. Those are the most cherished things in my life, and they were all taken away by her. I have planned for so many years, but in the end I have nothing. Living is pain, and death is relief."

Xiao Zhuo sighed, and was about to persuade her again, when Shen Yuexi's voice came from the gate: "Madam Pei, look here."

Pei Jingyun raised her tearful eyes and saw Shen Yuexi holding something towards her.After seeing the reflection of the jade pendant, she let out a scream, jumped out of the sarcophagus, threw herself into the water, didn't even care to stand up, and crawled towards Shen Yuexi with hands and feet.

"Yupei," she opened her eyes wide, and crawled towards Shen Yuexi in the water, splashing water everywhere, "give it to me, give it to me!"

Shen Yuexi just heard Pei Jingyun mention the token, and immediately thought of that jade pendant in her heart.It was Xiao Ming who gave this jade pendant to Pei Jingyun back then, and all the things that happened after that happened.

When Big Bear was on the boat, he had already collected the materials and started manufacturing, but she paused, and now she let Big Bear use the last electricity to complete the manufacturing.

Mei Dai didn't understand what happened, she clearly saw Xiao Zhuo break the jade pendant with her own eyes.But after thinking about it, Shen Yuexi might have changed to a new jade pendant to deceive Pei Jingyun, so she leaned into Shen Yuexi's ear and said:
"Don't give the jade pendant to Mrs. Pei, and use this to coerce her into revealing the secret. This is our last chance."

Shen Yuexi looked at Pei Jingyun. Although the tomb was dark, she could still see her white hair wetly sticking to her face, her eyes full of pleading, her bloodless lips trembling, her demeanor completely absent, like a thirsty person in the desert who suddenly saw the sweet spring and crawled over desperately.

"Mother is so pitiful," she shook her head, "If this is what mother is obsessed with, then leave it to her."

Mei Dai was about to stop her when Shen Yuexi stepped forward and placed the jade pendant on Pei Jingyun's outstretched palm.

Pei Jingyun tightly held the jade pendant with both hands, hugged her chest and burst into tears: "That's right... this feeling can't be wrong, this is the jade pendant that brother Ming gave me."

Since she got this jade pendant when she was seven years old, she held it in her palm and caressed it every day. Everyone in the Duke's Mansion knew how much the young miss loved this jade pendant.Later, Wen Yi entered the Duke's mansion instead of her, and she had to give the jade pendant to Wen Yi. After all, she was going to Wen Yi's poor family to serve Wen Yi's parents, so it was impossible for her to wear a valuable jade pendant.

Later, Emperor Yongde put Wen Yi in limbo, and she sent assassins to assassinate Wen Yi, specifically ordering to get the jade pendant back, but Wen Yi had already given the jade pendant to Xiao Zhuo and failed to get it back.

After the battle of Yongwei in Xiliang, Xiao Zhuo smashed the jade pendant and got the jade silk silk. Pei Jingyun knew about this afterwards, so she gave up.Unexpectedly, I saw it again today, and suddenly I had mixed feelings, and I couldn't hold it back.

She cried miserably, and Shen Yuexi also shed tears along with her. She put her hand on Pei Jingyun's shoulder and said, "Mother, cry as much as you want. Over the years, you have been in pain all the time. Now at least you are with it, hold it well."

Pei Jingyun raised her head and said, "Isn't this jade pendant broken? Did you repair it? Why can't I feel any cracks?"

Shen Yuexi saw that Pei Jingyun remained sober in such an agitated mood, she couldn't help but secretly startled.I remember that when I first entered the tomb, Pei Jingyun once said that she believed in an afterlife, the theory of ghosts, so she lied:
"It was indeed repaired by me. There were many cracks on it. Now it's gone... It must be the soul of my father who saw that my mother was tortured so much, so he smoothed the cracks with his own hands."

After hearing this, Pei Jingyun looked at another airtight sarcophagus: "Brother Ming, so your soul is still thinking about me? So you didn't ask Yuexi to give me the jade pendant because you treated me like that bitch?"

She cried and cried, laughed again, stood up unsteadily in the water, and walked towards Xiao Ming's coffin with the jade pendant in both hands.

"Brother Ming, so you don't think of me as that woman anymore, why did you tell me until now..."

Shen Yuexi looked at Pei Jingyun's back, raised the back of her hand to wipe her tears, and said to Mei Dai: "Sister Mei, no matter what, at least I have fulfilled one person's wish."

Mei Dai seemed not to be in a hurry, and smiled at her: "Sister, you are right. If we are all destined to die here, at least one person's obsession can be satisfied. If there is reincarnation, I will still find you. Compared with you, my sister is ashamed."

Shen Yuexi didn't want to block the water column anymore, so she walked up to Mei Dai and Shen Lan, and reached out to hold their hands.

Shen Lan was sobbing and sobbing from the beginning, but now she stopped her grief and said to Shen Yuexi: "I'm really worthless, and I'm crying in front of my sister."

Shen Yuexi smiled slightly, and called Xiao Zhuo: "Husband, come here quickly, we will die together if we die, please don't separate."

Everyone stopped blocking the door and decided to face death calmly.The water from the gate turned into a waterfall and poured into the tomb chamber violently. The water level rose rapidly and soon reached the knee level.

Just as Xiao Zhuo was about to come over, Pei Jingyun said coldly: "Xiao Zhuo, come to your father's coffin to kowtow three times and bow nine times. This is the etiquette you should fulfill as a son."

Hearing Pei Jingyun's words, not only Xiao Zhuo was stunned, but Shen Yuexi was also stunned.

For the first time, Pei Jingyun called Xiao Zhuo by his name.
