Mountains and rivers are waiting for you to return

Chapter 268: Nine Traps
He clearly didn't say anything, but Pei Nai understood what he meant: I'll teach you a lesson tonight.

Thank God Lei Xirui didn't find anything. She spoke to save Pei Nai: "It's not easy to come here. There are many wonderful medicines here that can cure diseases. They shouldn't be left here to gather dust. We also want to take the herbs we planted out. Can you please wait for us for a moment? We will pack up as soon as possible."

Pei Nai nodded, "Of course."

"The third stone cave on the opposite side of the cliff is where Li Sanniang's body is placed?" Gu Jinheng suddenly asked.

Lei Xirui nodded, "Yes, but we don't have the key either."

Gu Jinheng didn't say any more nonsense, took Pei Nai's hand, lowered his head and asked: "Will you accompany me to see her?"

When he spoke to Pei Nai, his voice became much softer.

"Sure." Pei Nai didn't resist at all.

When Gu Jinheng led her out, he also took the lock-picking tools handed to him by the Silver-Armored Guard.

Pei Nai had not noticed the cave that Gu Jinheng mentioned before. She looked at the stone wall on the other side of the cliff, counted it, and finally saw it clearly.

However, there was only a narrow slope outside the stone cave, and no stairs. The material of the cave door was the same as that of Lei Laiong's medicine storage room.

Pei Nai looked around and found that only the stone cave and the medicine storage room had iron doors welded on them, which showed that they had been carefully designed.

No wonder Gu Jinheng guessed the location of Li Sanniang's body so easily.

She followed Gu Jinheng to the edge of the cliff.

"What kind of person is Li Sanniang?" Pei Nai had never asked him this question before.

Gu Jinheng replied: "When I became her disciple, she was already poisoned. The poison in her body gradually corroded her lungs. The divine energy could only slow down the process of the poison. She was in pain every day, so she had a bad temper."

Pei Nai thought for a moment and then asked, "So how did she treat you in the beginning?"

"It's not that good. She just taught me martial arts and didn't care about anything else. But we are indeed master and disciple, and she has done me a favor." Gu Jinheng pinched her fingers.

Pei Nai looked up at Gu Jinheng's profile.

She could never imagine how he got through those years when he first started learning Huo Jiangyin Gong.
Gu Jinheng noticed her gaze and chuckled helplessly: "Don't be sad about those things. Although it is painful, it is worth it. I often think that if I hadn't practiced the Shenqi Yin Gong, you would have looked down on me when we first met."

"Who said that?" Pei Nai was unhappy. "Although I felt that your inner strength was deep and it did have a bonus effect, it was mainly because of your pretty face."

Being a fangirl is justified.

Gu Jinheng didn’t know what to say and squeezed her hand again.

When they reached the edge of the cliff, Gu Jinheng jumped over first, and Pei Nai followed behind him.

The two of them landed on the ramp at the door. Gu Jinheng squatted down and used tools to pry the lock.

Pei Nai bent down, looked closely, and interrupted, "Do you think there might be a trap here?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Pei Nai suddenly imitated his voice to scare him: "Boom!"

Gu Jinheng couldn't bear it any longer, so he freed his hand, bent his index finger and pretended to hit her on the head.

Before his fingers even fell, Pei Nai covered her head and shouted inside: "Sanniang, Gu Jinheng is committing domestic violence!"

Gu Jinheng was so angry that he laughed again. He calmed down and continued to unlock the door.

After a while, the sound of a mechanism was heard.

Gu Jinheng pushed the door inward, and the dim light in the cave instantly came out.

Although he did not answer Pei Nai's last question, the moment the door opened, his arms and half of his body were still used to protect Pei Nai.

Pei Nai stuck his head out and saw the coffin in the center of the cave at a glance.

The material of the coffin is quite special. It is not made of wood. Instead, the coffin body looks more like jade or colored glaze, so you can faintly see the remains inside.

Just as Lei Laiweng said, he dealt with Li Sanniang's body.

After so many years, the body is still intact.

There was a circle of flowers around the coffin, but the flowers had not been replaced for a long time. After a few months, they had already withered, showing the impermanence of the world. There was no groove in the house for pouring the water, but instead there were many glass bottles filled with water.

The beam of light passes through the glass bottle and diffuses irregularly on the wall, creating a soft and dreamy effect.

There were a lot of old things neatly placed on the table next to it, and there were some boxes of unknown purpose on the ground.

"Lei Laiweng is really attentive to Li Sanniang." Pei Nai said with emotion.

Gu Jinheng didn't seem to agree.

After all, it was Lei Laiweng who sent Li Sanniang to her death with his own hands. He even delayed for many years because he was unable to prepare the antidote and was afraid to face Li Sanniang. Li Sanniang was unable to see him for the last time until her death.

Any person with flesh and blood would be disgusted by this.

Lei Laiweng once had enough time to accompany and compensate Li Sanniang, but he waited until he and Li Sanniang were separated by the Yin and Yang before deciding to face himself and reality.

If you start to regret after you die, what’s the point of everything you’ve done?

Pei Nai was just thinking about it when he saw Gu Jinheng slowly walk to the coffin and squat down.

He picked up all the withered flowers, cleaned them up, and threw them out of the door into the abyss of the nest.

Then he found an open space and knelt down facing the coffin.

"Naier, come here." Gu Jinheng called her.

Pei Nai walked over. After all, the person in front of her was Gu Jinheng's master. She was about to kneel beside Gu Jinheng when she was stopped by him.

"You don't have to kneel, I just bring you to see her." Gu Jinheng explained.

Pei Nai was not quite sure of his intentions, so he followed his lead and stood quietly aside.

Gu Jinheng then said to Li Sanniang: "Master, this is my wife, Pei Nai."

Then he straightened his back, knelt there, and remained silent for a long time.

It was as if he came here just to introduce Pei Nai to her.

But it is true that in order to resurrect Li Sanniang, Lei Laweng was deceived by Yue Cang, committed murders and harmed countless lives, but eventually died at the hands of Gu Jinheng.

It is difficult to talk to Li Sanniang about such grudges and disputes. It is better to remain silent and leave the deceased with peace and let her rest in peace.

Pei Nai didn't urge him and just waited for him.

After a while, Gu Jinheng kowtowed to Li Sanniang and then stood up.

"Let's go." Gu Jinheng whispered to Pei Nai.

Pei Nai looked at Li Sanniang's coffin and asked, "Should we take her out?"

"This is the tomb prepared for her by her lover. I think she would be willing to stay here." Gu Jinheng took her out.

When he reached the slope, Gu Jinheng turned around and closed the door, then locked it.

Seeing him do all this, Pei Nai prepared to jump back to the high-altitude platform where the Lei family camp was located.

Just as she jumped up, something unexpected happened.

A loud explosion sounded not far away, accompanied by a sudden burst of fire. The horizontal passage on the opposite side collapsed in an instant, and debris flew everywhere.

Gu Jinheng immediately leaned forward and pulled Pei Nai back, and the two of them leaned back and bumped into the iron gate.

Thick smoke rose and dust scattered everywhere.

But it was not over yet. After the first explosion, the other two passages in the nest were also detonated.

The violent impact of the explosions came one after another, shaking the earth and the sky.

Everything around was shaking and trembling, and rocks kept falling from great heights.
