Chapter 413 Long Live the Glass

Seeing Pei Jingyun calling Xiao Zhuo suddenly, everyone couldn't react for a while, and even Xiao Zhuo stood there puzzled.

Pei Jingyun said: "The secret is in your father's coffin."

As soon as this remark came out, everyone present gave an ah, showing expressions of sudden realization.Everyone looked around the walls and checked the ground before, not letting go of any clues, but out of respect for the deceased, no one thought about the coffin itself.

Xiao Zhuo was the first to react, and hurried to the front of the coffin, straightened his drenched clothes, knelt into the water and bowed to the coffin.

Shen Yuexi was overjoyed, and pulled Mei Dai and Shen Lan towards Pei Jingyun: "Mother, you...are you not angry anymore?"

Pei Jingyun pressed the jade pendant to her chest with both hands, and said sullenly, "The pain of 20 years can't be relieved overnight. But for the sake of returning the jade pendant from all the way..."

Before she finished speaking, Mei Dai and Shen Lan hugged Shen Yuexi from left to right, weeping with joy.

Everyone was about to face catastrophe, and suddenly the turn of events turned into vitality. Even the mentally strong people could hardly control their excitement, and Shen Yuexi cheered even more.

"Shen Yuexi, don't jump in the tomb, there are no rules!" Pei Jingyun reprimanded, "Besides, we go deep underground, this is not the way to escape."

Shen Yuexi was happy when she poured a ladle of cold water on her head, so she stopped short.

Xiao Zhuo stood up after knelt down, wiped the water from his face, and said to Pei Jingyun: "Mother." Pei Jingyun said: "Now that you have saluted, you can open your father's coffin. Hurry up, if the water does not pass through the coffin, there is nothing you can do."

During this period of time, the water level has risen to the middle of everyone's thighs, and the distance from the top of the coffin is only less than one foot.

Xiao Zhuo came to the coffin, stretched out his hand and pushed it, only to realize that the coffin was not an independent coffin at all, but connected with the ground.He pushed the cover of the coffin a little, and lifted his hands upward slowly.

The three of Shen Yuexi also came to Xiao Zhuo through the water, and stretched out their hands to help.Xiao Zhuo said with difficulty: "Don't be brave, this cover weighs hundreds of catties, I will do it alone."

Seeing that Xiao Zhuo was strong enough to lift it up, the three stood aside.

Xiao Zhuo struggled to lift the cover and leaned against the side of the coffin. Everyone looked inside the coffin, but they did not see Xiao Ming's body. The inside was covered with pure white linen, filled with jewels and jade, surrounded by a delicate ebony box.

Xiao Zhuo hesitated and said: "Mother, this is..."

"Your father's bones," Pei Jingyun said, "you quickly throw away all the jewelry and jade, and then lift up the bottom plate, which is the way down."

Everyone quickly reached out to pick up the jewels in the coffin and threw them aside.Cheng threw shining jewels, gold, and jade into the water.It was full of despair when the gate was blocked just now, but now it is different.

Pei Jingyun stood beside the coffin, silently holding the jade pendant between her palms, and whispered into the coffin.

"Husband, you have a soul in the sky, and you are willing to protect your child. From the moment you restored the jade pendant, I knew that you no longer miss Wen Yi in your heart... I know that you have me in your heart, and there will be no more hatred in this life."

Everyone threw away the jewels, Xiao Zhuo personally picked up Xiao Ming's bones, handed them to Shen Yuexi and said, "Take it well." Shen Yuexi reached out to take it, Xiao Zhuo took off the linen, grabbed an iron ring at the bottom of the coffin and lifted the floor with force, revealing the dark corridor.

Xiao Zhuo lifted the floor and said to Shen Yuexi: "Yuexi, get down quickly."

Mei Dai saw that the downward passage was so dark that she couldn't see anything, she was afraid that Shen Yuexi would hit the wall in front, so she entered the coffin first, and stepped on the stone steps to feel inside carefully, followed by Shen Yuexi, and Shen Lan was the third.Shen Yuexi was halfway down before noticing that Liuli, the parrot, did not come in, and turned her head to Xiao Zhuo and said, "Husband, remember to let Liuli in too."

Xiao Zhuo nodded in agreement.At this time, the water had already reached the upper edge of the coffin, and the person could not stand upright in the water, so he said to Pei Jingyun, "Mother, hurry up and go in."

Pei Jingyun shook her head and said, "I won't go down, it's just a matter of dying later."

Xiao Zhuo was taken aback, and hurriedly said: "Isn't the passage below going out?"

"The tunnel is true, but it has only been dug for a month," Pei Jingyun said, "it doesn't lead to the ground at all."

Xiao Zhuo said: "Mother, even if you don't lead to the ground, you can still live for a while. Besides... Yuexi has already brought her father's bones down. Don't you want to be with my father?"

As soon as these words came out, Pei Jingyun immediately stopped arguing, stepped into the coffin, and walked down.Xiao Zhuo saw the water waves rippling on the coffin, and it was about to pour into the coffin, so he quickly stepped into the coffin to pull the cover.

Parrot Liuli stood on the cover, quacking: "It's not good, the master vomited again. It's not good, the master vomited again."

Knowing that Shen Yuexi loves this parrot the most, Xiao Zhuo reached out and grabbed Liuli and threw it into the corridor, Liuli flew in with a quack sound.Then Xiao Zhuo pulled up the cover, carefully aimed at the edge of the coffin, and slowly squatted down to close the cover. Suddenly, it was pitch black, completely invisible.Then he walked down the corridor and pulled down the floor.

He was worried that the water would still flow down the gap like the gate just now, so he stood there and listened.Pei Jingyun's voice came from not far behind and said, "Come down. This coffin is different from the crude gates. It was polished by dozens of craftsmen themselves, and the seams are tight and watertight."

Xiao Zhuo still didn't believe it.After waiting for a while, thinking that the water surface had already crossed the upper edge of the coffin, she listened carefully, but still did not hear any water drops, and then realized that what Pei Jingyun said was true, so she touched the wall and walked down little by little, and said in a low voice, "Mother, I'm coming down."

He paid attention to etiquette all his life, even when he was hunted down by Ji Zhong, he never forgot the etiquette of master and apprentice.Now it was pitch black in front of her eyes, she was afraid that she might run into Pei Jingyun accidentally, so she talked while walking.

Pei Jingyun's voice sounded from far ahead, "Just go, I'll go ahead and look for them first."

Xiao Zhuo walked slowly while touching the wall of the passage.Compared with the passage before they entered the tomb, this passage was much rougher. The walls were still hard earth and rocks, the ground was also uneven, and the steps were only paved down a dozen steps, followed by a dirt road.

He walked forward in the dark for more than 50 steps, and the terrain gradually began to rise. Unfortunately, the passage was too dark to see anything clearly. The fire pocket in his arms had already been soaked in water and could not be lit. He was thinking about Shen Yuexi again, so he said, "Yuexi, are you in front?"

Shen Yuexi's voice came from the front and said: "Husband, here it is... Oh, Liuli's paw stepped on my face!"

Liuli squawked, mixed with the sound of flapping wings, Shen Lan said: "There is a dead end ahead... Oh, who is stepping on my feet?"

Mei Dai smiled and said, "It's me, it's too dark to see clearly."

Pei Jingyun snorted and said, "Queen of Xiliang, did you step on my foot?"

Mei Dai asked in surprise: "Then who stepped on Shen Lan?" Shen Yuexi said: "Ah, it's me. I just grabbed Liuli. My face hurts, maybe I scratched my skin."

Everyone narrowly escaped death, although their eyes were pitch-black, their words were relaxed.

Mei Dai said: "It's a pity that the firelights I brought are all soaked, does King An have some firelights?"

"The things I brought were also soaked in water." Xiao Zhuo stopped at a distance from the crowd, "Is there really no way ahead?"

Pei Jingyun said: "Of course not, I just said I only dug a section."

After a pause, Shen Lan's voice sounded: "I've touched it, and there are hard rock walls everywhere. What should we do now?"

Pei Jingyun said: "You can feel on the ground to see if there are picks, picks, chisels and other items left by the craftsmen?"

The corridor was quiet for a while, and Mei Dai's voice sounded: "I haven't touched anything on the ground. The top of the head is a bit high, so I can't touch it."

Shen Yuexi asked Mei Dai to hold the parrot Liuli, while she held the box with one hand and touched the wall with the other, walking and feeling until she grabbed Xiao Zhuo's clothes, and whispered: "Husband, it's me." Xiao Zhuo stretched out his hand and hugged her into his arms.

Mei Dai asked: "Madam Pei, how did this passage come about?"

Pei Jingyun said: "Of course I was thinking about it. Anyway, we have nowhere to go, so I'll tell you. Back then, I asked craftsmen to build cities on this island, and farmers to cultivate crops. I thought that if my husband couldn't beat Emperor Yongde, we would come here to live and give myself a place to stay."

Shen Yuexi said: "Unexpectedly, Emperor Yongde killed many people in order to conceal the matter of the crown prince, causing people to rebel against relatives. The second prince issued a call for conquest, and the world was in chaos. In turn, he helped father."

Pei Jingyun said: "This is the unpredictable world, but I didn't think about it at the time. What I thought at the time was that whether it is the iron pagoda, or a fleet equipped with cannons, or musketeers, although they are rare in the world, after all, their strength is low. If the enemy cannot be resisted, I can hide in the tomb with your father, pull down the gate, and then pour sea water into the tunnel. In this way, even if the enemy has thousands of troops, they can't touch me and my wife."

Everyone fell silent.She thought to herself that Pei Jingyun was really deliberate, even thinking about what to do if she was defeated.Later, they used these mechanisms to deal with them. Fortunately, Shen Yuexi gave the jade pendant to Pei Jingyun and asked Pei Jingyun to tell the secret, otherwise everyone would have drowned by now.

"As for this passage...the gate is down and the seawater is pouring into the tomb. There is no way to dispel it. We can only go another way." Pei Jingyun said, "The craftsman asked me what to do next after digging for a month. It was still autumn in the north, and your father was recruiting Heng'er and Zhuo'er in the Anzhou hunting ground... I didn't expect Heng'er to...let this matter go."

Xiao Zhuo said: "Mother, my younger brother just values ​​the throne too much."

"It's all my fault," Pei Jingyun said lightly, "I taught him to be ruthless and use any means to achieve his goals since he was a child. It was this practice that harmed him. I wanted to confess my sins to Heng'er, but I couldn't."

Shen Yuexi said: "Mother, don't be discouraged, we will definitely find a way to escape."

She didn't come out of nowhere.I have experienced despair many times before, and I have narrowly escaped death.Zai even gave up and escaped just now.She believes that God will not abandon those who are struggling to survive.

Shen Lan said: "Sister, how are we going to escape. With such a deep underground, and no food or water, we can last for a few days at most."

Shen Yuexi said: "There is no way out here, and the way from here is completely blocked by sea water, so why didn't we suffocate to death?"

Pei Jingyun said: "Isn't this an obvious thing? If craftsmen want to dig here, there must be air holes on the wall connected to the ground for ventilation."

Shen Yuexi got up and said: "Sister Mei, please feel carefully to see if you can touch the air hole."

After a moment of silence in the darkness, Mei Dai said, "Sister, I really can't touch any holes. The only thing I haven't touched is the top of my head."

Shen Yuexi put the box in her arms on the ground, and said to Xiao Zhuo: "Husband, you lift me up, and I will touch it."

Xiao Zhuo agreed and gently lifted her up.Shen Yuexi touched the top of her head and found that it was all rocks, so she said to Xiao Zhuo, "Change to another place."

After changing a few more places, Shen Yuexi finally found a square hole on the top of her head, only more than one foot long and wide, with air gushing out from it.

"I got it," she cried excitedly, "Mother, where does this hole lead to?"

After a while, Pei Jingyun said: "This air hole should be connected to the air hole in the tomb, and the two share the same exit. But the air hole in the tomb should be blocked by sea water now. Even if it can lead to the ground, we can't climb out through the air hole."

Shen Yuexi said: "It's not us, it's Liuli."

She estimated that none of the people present could climb out of the air hole, but Parrot Liuli could.

Mei Dai immediately understood what Shen Yuexi meant, she came near Shen Yuexi with Liuli in one hand, raised the glass and said: "Sister, Liuli is here."

Shen Yuexi hugged Liuli, put it into the air intake and said: "Liuli, Liuli, fly up to find your younger brother and them. You are such a smart baby, you must know to find your original master."

Liuli's paw stepped on her palm, and she seemed to understand and shouted: "Bei Heng, you are sorry for me."

"By the way, I'm looking for this person, go quickly and fly out along this airway," Shen Yuexi encouraged Liuli, "Come on baby."

Liuli yelled a few times, then suddenly spread her wings and left Shen Yuexi's palm.

Shen Yuexi withdrew her hand and said, "Now, all of our hopes are pinned on Liuli."

Xiao Zhuo smiled and said: "Unexpectedly, one day, I will rely on a parrot." Mei Dai also said: "It's a pity that none of us can climb out of that air hole, only Liuli's small body can do it."

Shen Lan said: "Sister, what if Liuli can't find the exit?"

Pei Jingyun said: "This air hole has only one exit. If the tomb is not submerged by sea water, it may fly to the tomb. Now it can only go to the ground, that is the only way. Let's wait and see."

Everyone had experienced a lot, and they were extremely sleepy, so they sat on the ground and closed their eyes to rest.

I don't know how long it took, Shen Yuexi woke up slowly from Xiao Zhuo's arms, and the clothes were already dry when she touched them.He quickly sat up and listened to the top of his head.Before I started listening, there was a grunt in the darkness.

"Who's stomach growling?" Shen Yuexi asked.

Shen Lan said: "Sister, it's me. I'm so hungry... I don't know how long it has been, hasn't Liuli come back?"

Only then did Shen Yuexi realize that her mouth was parched and her stomach was panicking with hunger, but she didn't want to express her discouragement, so she said, "Sister, hold on, since Liuli hasn't come back, she can only fly out."

"Maybe it's stuck somewhere," Shen Lan said nervously, "I can't hear its sound at all."

Thinking of this possibility, Shen Yuexi also became nervous, and said, "If that's the case, then..."

She was still hesitating, when Liuli's familiar cry sounded faintly above her head, it seemed not far from them.Shen Yuexi was overjoyed and shouted: "Everyone, Liuli is here, Liuli is here!"

Surprised in Pei Jingyun's tone, she said, "Did it really go out? Could it be that it couldn't fly out and came back again?"

Mei Daixi said: "I've been counting the time since we released it. Two and a half hours have passed. It should have flown out long ago, why did it come back?"

Everyone was surprised and looked up at the top of their heads.Although I can't see anything in the dark, my heart is full of hope.

Not long after, Liuli croaked and fell from the air hole, stepping on the top of Shen Yuexi's head.Shen Yuexi didn't care about the pain, hugged Liuli excitedly, and kissed Liuli twice.

It was only after the kiss that Liuli discovered that there were two long ropes tied to Liuli's feet, and there was a thick oiled paper bag on his back.Can't fly.But it only needs the help of wings to fly upwards, but not downwards, and stumbles all the way to here.

It took a long time to untie the package in the dark. After opening, there were dry fire folders, candles, paper and pens, etc. inside.

Xiao Zhuo lit the fire, everyone was used to staying in the dark environment, when the fire was on, everyone couldn't open their eyes for a while.When the eyes could be opened freely, Shen Yuexi couldn't wait to open the belief inside.

"Sister-in-law, Master Xu has ordered the craftsmen to dig towards you along the air hole. If you continue to pull the rope, you can bring food and water to you. Hold on, Bei Heng and I will definitely rescue you, brother and sister Su Mo wrote it himself."

After she finished reading, she jumped up excitedly: "Long live Liuli." Not only her, Mei Dai and Shen Lan also cheered, even the steady Xiao Zhuo laughed and hugged her tightly.

Pei Jingyun said with a straight face: "It's really shouting. Long live can only be used to address the emperor, how can it be used to address a parrot. You are good everywhere, but you are a little unruly."

Although the words were reprimanding, the tone was completely opposite, like a loving mother scolding a naughty child.

Everyone pulled the rope, only to find that Su Mo had cleverly tied the rope into a loop. As long as he kept pulling aside, food and water would be delivered continuously.

Shen Yuexi was so happy.

Although she was underground, the person she loved the most was by her side, and her mother, Pei Jingyun, forgave her.On the ground, countless craftsmen are digging down day and night, younger brother Xiao Beiheng and younger sibling Su Mo are waiting to see her on the ground.

Such a beautiful result is worthy of the bumps and displacements along the way.
