Between life and death [unlimited]

Qian Yuanwai specially arranged for Jiang Lai to sit on the main seat on his right.

He asked Jiang Xun earnestly, "I still don't know the master's name or surname?"

Jiang Lai simply replied, "Jiang."

He only said his last name, and he didn't seem to want to reveal his full name.

Qian Yuanwai rubbed his hands in embarrassment, not caring about Jiang Lai's perfunctory attitude, and complimented: "Master Jiang was really skilled last night! I just heard from the master with the highest martial arts in our academy that he is even worse than you." It’s beyond what I can do, and I’m afraid I won’t be able to hold on for a round.”

The expression on Jiang Lai's face remained unchanged, as if he didn't hear Qian Yuanwai's flattery, and calmly tasted his new favorite dessert on the plate.

Qian Yuanwai has been in business for decades, and has earned his current family business. His ability to deal with people is even more tactful than the unlucky uncle among novice players.

Seeing that Jiang Xun was unmoved by his compliments, he admired this kind of person with superior ability and mentality but was not moved by the world, which made him want to win Jiang Xun even more.

Yuan Qian noticed that Jiang Lai had been eating dessert almost all the time, and the other dishes hadn't been touched much, so he took the initiative to ask, "Master Jiang likes sweets?"

Hearing Qian Yuanwai mention his favorite food, Jiang Xun rarely nodded in response: "Yeah."

Qian Yuanwai was overjoyed when he heard that Jiang Lai was finally willing to talk to him, and said like a treasure: "Since Master Jiang likes sweets so much, it just so happens that a famous chef from Kyoto has just come to my house, and he is especially good at making desserts. He showed Master Jiang a hand, and let me see if the big price was worth it."

Si Yufeng, who was sitting on the other side of the Qian Yuan, for some reason, stayed in the air for a moment with the chopsticks he was raising, but returned to normal in just a blink of an eye.

Jiang Lai, who used to be too lazy to make choices, would naturally sit next to his teammate—Si Yufeng every time, but this time because Qian Yuanwai took the initiative to ask Jiang Lai to sit on the seat on his right, so he always sat down. Si Yufeng, who was on Qian Yuanwai's left, naturally sat apart from Jiang Xun.

Qian Yuanwai is worthy of being a person. He immediately noticed Si Yufeng's pause just now, thinking that his neglect caused this equally powerful master to be dissatisfied, and quickly added: "Hey, by the way, this master I I haven't asked your name yet."

Si Yufeng listened to what Qian Yuanwai said to himself, put down his chopsticks, and replied politely: "My surname is Si, and my name is Yufeng. The judicial secretary is Yu from Yao Shunyu, and Feng from Maple Leaf."

"It turned out to be Master Si," Qian Yuanwai said politely, "I've heard about his name for a long time. He really is a heroic boy. Although Master Si looks young, he can already take charge of himself. I admire him!"

"I don't dare to be, I'm just an apprentice now." Si Yufeng replied politely, but he complained endlessly in his heart: I'm just a passerby who just came here. that's all...

For this meal, even the simple Rujiang Xun could feel the intrigue, and Si Yufeng felt tired for Qian Yuanwai.

In fact, Si Yufeng saw very early on that Qian Yuanwai wanted to keep him and Jiang Xun, so he kept flattering the two of them while pushing cups and glasses, trying to leave a good impression on them.

It's a pity that the falling flowers are intentional, but the flowing water is ruthless.The two of them are just passers-by who came here from another world to complete the game mission. No matter whether the mission is completed or not, it is impossible for them to stay and work for Qian Yuanwai.

After the meal, everyone returned to their own room to rest according to the room they had arranged before.

Before entering the house, Si Yufeng felt a little irritable, so he asked Shen Yingying and the old Buddhist monk to go back to the room, and he planned to continue wandering around the backyard.

There are a lot of thoughts in my mind, but I got too few clues, and I can't figure it out for a while.

Si Yufeng was walking with his hands behind his back, and when he was concentrating on who Chen Ji had killed, he was suddenly caught by Bai Man under his feet.

It turned out that he had already walked near the coffin shed without knowing it.

Si Yufeng raised his head and saw the huge sun above his head.

Although the sun was shining brightly, it was as dazzling as an ice chestnut falling from the sky, piercing people's eyes straightly, and the color that should have been warm revealed a sense of chill.

The tall red lacquered coffin was also in this abundant light, and the color was so bright and dazzling.

An idea popped up in Si Yufeng's mind unconsciously.

The red paint on the coffin looked like dried blood.

Suddenly feeling chilly on his back, he planned to leave and go back to his room.When I was walking towards the house, I suddenly heard a woman's faint singing...

"...you lean on the railing to stand on the terrace, I'm going to name you Xiangxiu..."

"Who is to say what's on your mind..."

Could it be that Qian Yanruo suddenly woke up? !

Si Yufeng, who was alone now, immediately held his breath nervously, and then looked vigilantly towards the coffin shed, and was fully prepared to face the unknown fear alone.

There was silence around, no sound, only cold wind blowing in front of him.

The sound of the wind is like a novice player who died here, and it clung to Si Yufeng's ear coldly to remind: Go... get out of here... don't come here...

The hairs on his back were shuddering, and the palms of his clenched fists were also dripping with cold sweat.

The mourning flags hanging around the coffin shed were constantly blown by the wind, and the swaying incense candles all reminded Si Yufeng of the Hong Kong ghost movies he had seen in the real world.

In the film, the change of the spirit shed during the day always indicates that the ghost is about to appear.

There is still no one around.

Si Yufeng's nervous heart rose to his throat.

"It's deserted and clear, and there are side issues in the distance..."

"How can you beat him like a big boy..."

Si Yufeng stared at the front with all his attention, but there was still no movement in the coffin.

It takes only a dozen seconds for the two lines of music to work, and it takes as long as a century in this state of high concentration.

"despair……"

Si Yufeng's left shoulder was suddenly patted lightly from behind.

He immediately imagined that standing behind him was Chen Ji with straight eyes and a creepy smile on his gray face; or she was wearing a wedding dress and a red hijab, and she could be seen from a distance. Qian Yanruo with pale and withered hands...

Before he could think of a countermeasure in his mind, his body reacted immediately. He quickly pulled out the "Ma Liang Magic Pen" and blindly poked it behind him!

But I didn't want to, a woman exclaimed from behind.

"It hurts... Father Si!"

After seeing the face of the visitor clearly, Si Yufeng asked in embarrassment.

"Yingying, were you singing just now...?"

Shen Yingying was covering her shoulders, looking at him blankly, and suddenly realized that her humming just now might make Si Yufeng think it was Qian Yanruo's doing.

So she quickly apologized: "I'm sorry, I scared you, Father Si... just now I was thinking about whether I had heard this phrase before, and it always felt very familiar..."

"Besides, seeing you all rushing around to complete the task, I am also very embarrassed to do nothing, and now I can only paddle in the team..."

Of course, Si Yufeng understood that Shen Yingying had good intentions, so he comforted him softly: "It's okay, Yingying, after all, you are the only girl in the team and you are still a high school student, and fighting with zombies will never let you go. Right? In fact, even if you don't do anything, none of us will say anything about you."

The voice changed, and he asked again: "However, if you have any ideas about solving this task, you can tell us at any time. If you are familiar with the lyrics sung by Miss Qian, do you still remember where it came from?"

Shen Yingying replied: "I didn't think about it just now, and then I sang it myself. I realized that I should have heard it before. These few lines probably came from Guan Hanqing's "Pavilion for the Moon."

""Worshiping the Moon Pavilion"?" Si Yufeng didn't like listening to music very much, so he didn't know much about this famous opera.

So he continued to ask: "Does Yingying still remember what kind of story is told in this opera?"

Shen Yingying was happy that she had finally done something, and she replied seriously: "If I remember correctly, this opera is about two sworn sisters with very similar names who find true love for each other in troubled times! "

"Then Qian Yanruo sang this passage, what does it mean? Do you still remember?" Si Yufeng continued to ask.

Shen Yingying thought for a while, then replied: "Let me think about it. These two sentences should be the part where the sworn sister worshiped the moon in the pavilion, prayed for her husband who was forced to separate during the war, and prayed for God to allow the two to reunite .”

When Si Yufeng heard it, he rubbed his chin habitually and frowned, "It's just because I miss my sweetheart? Then why did Qian Yanruo choose this opera for Dudu? Is there nothing special about this choice of words? "

Si Yufeng's doubts mainly lie in: since Qian Yanruo likes Chen Ji, Chen Ji has also been murdered inexplicably now, and they just happened to be brought by this group of players to marry Qian Yanruo.It stands to reason that even if Qian Yanruo has lingering thoughts in the world, this obsession should not be about missing her sweetheart, after all, Chen Ji is already by her side now...

"Let me think about it." After thinking hard, Shen Yingying replied, "If we must say that these two words are special, it may lie in the background of this story. Because this story is also about a pair of sisters."

"And what this sworn sister misses is her sworn sister's brother, the sweetheart she met during the war."

After getting this answer, Si Yufeng was silent for a long time, but he couldn't think of any key information.

After all, these two sentences express the meaning of a woman missing her sweetheart. Although the background is a bit special, and it can be slightly similar to the situation of the two sisters of the Qian family, there is no similarity in other places.

First of all, the sisters in the play are sworn sisters with similar names, not real sisters;

Secondly, what sister Jieyi misses is sister Jieyi's own brother, but Miss Qian's sweetheart is obviously Chen Ji, and it is impossible for Chen Ji to be Qian Jiaoruo's brother...

Just at the moment when he thought he was close to the truth, fate suddenly seemed to play a joke on him, and made him go back to the original place after going around.

Even if he thought of the source of this song and asked about the special features of these two lines, Si Yufeng still didn't know where to start with the current messy situation.

It seems that this clue can only be kept in mind for the time being, and other clues will be discovered later.
