Huaicheng was in a beautiful spring. As soon as the two of them stepped onto the map, they felt that the pace had slowed down. The streets and alleys were full of life players, setting up stalls and selling everything.
Oki saw this and was eager to open a barbecue stall to improve his proficiency.
Song Que looked around and said, "Do you think there is a quiet place in Huai City?"
Wei Shu gave it a try: "Do you know what is most popular in Huai City?"
Song looked at her, waiting for the answer.
Wei Shu said: "It's the Goulan Courtyard. Although it's just a first-rate singing ditty, there are many players who love to join in the fun. The whole city can be said to be overcrowded. Want a quiet place? Go out of the city and find it."
Song Que said: "Yuanci's body can't stand the noisy environment, and there must be a reason for these two people not to return to the sect. They will not show up unless necessary to avoid attracting others' attention. Look at the map, next to Huaicheng There is a mountain above. The temperature at the foot of the mountain is not low, and it is easier to buy daily necessities. Let’s go there.”
The two people walked around the foot of the mountain outside the city and saw a small courtyard. Through the fence, they could see a man watering the vegetables in the field.
Wei Shu stood on tiptoe and took a look and said, "She seems to be an old woman. She looks like she is sixty years old, not Liu Mei."

Calculating her age, Liu Mei should be around forty years old.
Song Que stepped forward and knocked on the door. The old woman walked over at a very slow speed, using both feet evenly. The old woman observed them through the door for a while, then opened the wooden door and said, "Who are you two?"
Wei Shu subconsciously looked at Song Que, expressing his belief in his ability to lie.
Song Que said: "I heard that there was a goddess on the mountain. She was very curious, so I accompanied her to take a look. But I heard that the mountain was not very safe. When I saw a house here, I wanted to come and learn about the situation of the mountain first."
After saying that, he smiled at Oki, as if he couldn't help her.
Oki came close to him, put his hand behind his back, pinched the flesh on his back, and smiled cutely at him, as if he wanted to compete with him to see who could disgust whom.
The old woman glanced at them, with a smile in her eyes, and said, "So that's it."
Song Que looked at the tail tree again and said, "How about it, are you still thirsty? You should be able to see the stream later."
The old woman immediately said: "You guys come in first. The situation on the mountain is more complicated. I have to talk to you carefully. It just so happens that you both have a bowl of water."
The old woman turned around and Wei Shu immediately gave Song Que a look: Fake! That thirst is so artificial!
Song Que was calm and relaxed, even happy. It was a bit artificial, but it worked.
The old woman was going to pour water for the two of them, but Song stood up and said, "Old man, where is the water? Let me help you."
The old woman didn't even say no, but Song followed her anyway. He saw a pipe in the kitchen that was bent upwards. He took off the pipe and let it go downwards, and the water remained.
"Young man, I still have some strength, old lady."
Song Que said: "Then I will serve you the bowl. Did you make this pipe yourself? It can bring water down from the mountain. It is a very exquisite design."
The old woman was smiling as she poured water into their bowls. Although her face was wrinkled, her expression was as happy as a girl when someone praised the pipe.
"It was designed by my old man. He has always been very smart."
Song Que said: "Why haven't you seen this old man? Has he gone out?"
The old woman shook her head and sighed: "He is old and in poor health. He can hardly get out of bed now. We are also guarding this house, and every day counts as a day's gain."
Song Que said: "To be honest, I have studied medical skills for a few days. Although my talent is not extraordinary, I am taught by a famous teacher. Can you let me check your husband's pulse?"
The old woman said: "Thank you, kind-hearted young man. But no, we have seen many doctors, and they all said that there is no cure, and I have reached this age. I don't want to disturb him anymore, I just want him to spend his old age easily." .”
Song did not force it and turned to another topic: "Old man, I see you only have fruits and vegetables in the kitchen. Why don't we bring you some prey when we come down from the mountain?"
The old woman smiled and said: "We are old and can't digest the oily smell, so we planted some vegetables in the yard and are self-sufficient. We don't even have to go to the market on weekdays."
Song Que nodded.
While the two were talking, they had already brought out the water. Oki was lying on the table boredly. When he saw them coming out, he immediately sat up again.
Song Que handed the water to Wei Shu. She still remembered the lie about being thirsty and immediately picked it up and took a sip. Song Que glanced at her with a smile, then picked up the bowl and took a sip.
The old woman told them about this mountain: "I used to go up the mountain a few years ago. There are some fresh mushrooms on the mountain, and the soup is very delicious. In recent years, my health has been bad, so I haven't gone up the mountain much. But after so many years, the old woman, I I have never seen the goddess in the rumors. I'm afraid it's just a fabrication. Don't have too much hope, you two. There is a road in this mountain that has been cleared by everyone. As long as you follow that road, you will be fine. Qian Don’t wander around in the woods.”
When Wei Shu was waiting for them, he went to the forum to check and found that there was indeed a legend about the goddess. He didn't know when Song Que did his homework.
Song Que said: "That's it. By the way, old man, how long have you lived here?"
The old woman put the cup on the table and said, "It must have been more than twenty years ago."
Song Que asked: "Have you ever seen a man and woman? The man is a monk and the woman is a nun."
The old woman paused and glanced at Song Que, as if she was doubting the intention of his question: "You are not here for the goddess, are you?"
Song Que said: "To be honest, we are actually ordered by the elders of the master's sect to check some old things. We have no other bad intentions."
The old woman sighed and said: "There are two of them, but no matter what your intentions are, they are useless. They have died long ago."
Wei Shu was not too surprised, but a little frustrated, and said: "How did they die?"
The old woman said: "The monk seemed to have been seriously injured. The old man and I took them in, but the monk did not survive and died of illness. The little nun built a tomb for him on the mountain. One day, he took advantage of the opportunity. We didn't pay attention and took his body to lie in there with him. We occasionally visit their graves. If you want to see them, go and have a look. The tomb is on the top of the mountain."
Wei Shu looked at Song Que, she wanted to take a look, maybe she could find some mission items in front of the tomb.
Song Que nodded and thanked the old woman: "Then we will go up the mountain. Thank you very much, old man."
The old woman sent them to the courtyard gate.
Song Que and Wei Shu quickly climbed to the top of the mountain using great lightness skills, and turned around several times before finding the tombstone the old woman mentioned.
Thick dust fell in front of the monument, because the only person who knew of their existence had not gone up the mountain for several years. The birth and death years of Liu Mei and Fang Ci were engraved on the stone monument. The time of death was sixteen years ago.
Wei Shu looked at the monument, and suddenly she didn't dare to touch it. The biggest feature of holograms is reality. With such a real tomb in front of her, she felt that touching and stepping on it was blasphemy.
Song Que asked: "When did the legend of the goddess appear?"
Wei Shu was stuck for a while, thinking about the background information he just read on the forum: "It seems to be fourteen or fifteen years ago."
Song Que walked to the grave and stretched out his hand to dig up the soil.
Wei Shu stepped forward to pull him and whispered: "This is not good, NPCs also have human rights."
Song Que raised his head and asked, "You haven't dug a grave, have you?"
Wei Shu said: "What are you talking about? Have you ever dug it?"
Song Ke was noncommittal. He had encountered more than one mysterious case, and it was not his first time to open a coffin and pick up a body.
"This tomb is not locked. It can be opened. I bet you that there is no one inside."
"According to what the old woman said, Liu Mei imprisoned herself in it. It is possible that this tomb cannot be locked in the first place."
At this point, Oki changed the subject: "But I know you must have observed something else, otherwise you wouldn't say that. If you don't tell me, I won't make a bet with you."
Seeing that Wei Shu had learned enough lessons and would not take the bait, Song had no choice but to shrug and said, "You are too difficult to bully now. Let's first consider what would happen if Liu Mei really brought Fang Ci's body into this tomb. Situation. A person who thinks about dying will have an unbalanced mental state. She is probably depressed and a little paranoid. She will think about dying with him, but she will not think about locking the tomb door from the inside and staying forever. Together? Of course, this part is the part you don't like, and it is also the detail that the planning team may not have planned. Although the old woman's pace is slow, but very steady, the strength of her left and right feet is balanced, and without deliberate control, It is difficult for ordinary people to achieve this balance. I have observed NPCs in the game. Most of them use the parameters of ordinary people, and their bodies will gradually become more focused due to reasons such as occupation. So this old woman is not an ordinary person. She knows martial arts, but she pretends not to. She has a husband who is bedridden. There are only fruits and vegetables in her kitchen, not meat, not even onions. Question, what are onions?"
Wei Shu said: "I know! Onions are small meat! Although they broke the rules, they still maintained their eating habits. You mean, they are Fang Ci and Liu Mei, and this tomb is a deception!"
Song Que nodded and said: "One more thing, the legend of the goddess appeared about fifteen years ago, and according to the character of the game planner, the female characters currently appearing are all beautiful. I guess they moved here in disguise, and Liu Mei once Someone accidentally saw her true appearance, but when those people looked for her, they couldn't find such a beautiful girl. That's how the legend of the goddess came about. It's very simple to verify this guess."
Before he finished speaking, Song Que opened the tomb door.
A choking smell of dust hit his face, and Song Que's face suddenly turned pale, and there was even a little sweat on his forehead. Wei Shu was shocked and said: "Is this gas poisonous? Are you poisoned?"
Song did not want to speak...
But he finally said: "Suddenly I forgot that my strength was limited. I used too much force when I opened the door. Now it seems that I have strained my muscles."
Wei Shu looked at Song Que telling such an embarrassing thing calmly, and couldn't help but look at him like a freak, and finally said: "I admire him."
Song Que: Taught the apprentice and starved the master to death.
There is no doubt that the tomb is empty, but it can be seen that the person who built it was very careful. Maybe she really thought so, and they will go to hell together a hundred years later. Song raised his uninjured hand and found a hidden buckle in the closed area. This was a tomb that could be completely locked from the inside.
Wei Shu said: "Will they have left when we go down the mountain? It's like trying to lure the tiger away from the mountain or something like that."
Song Que shook his head and said, "Fang Ci can't stand it."
