I Only Want to Lie Flat But Am Forced to Cultivate Immortality-Chapter 230 - 132: Ghost Shadow, Skinny Tiger_2

Thinking about past memories, the fat man’s tears started to fall.

"Donkey, I’ve let you down. I couldn’t take good care of my mother, and even you, I couldn’t look after properly..."

The rope hanging from the beam swayed slightly, drops of dirty blood fell to the ground like tears, splashing onto the floor.

Just when the fat man was feeling sad, a sudden creaking sound came from the door of the Incense Hall.

Gale mixed with storm rain blew in, Sun Erzhuang turned to look, only to see the broken hall door opened a foot-wide gap.

Sun Erzhuang sniffed, feeling a bit suspicious.

He clearly remembered locking the door bar, so why were both the bar and the stick holding the door missing?

Just as Sun Erzhuang was puzzling over this, a pale hand suddenly reached through the gap.

"Who is it?!"

Right as Sun Erzhuang asked, the person outside the gap walked in.

Gray robe, white hair, hunchbacked figure, it seemed to be an old lady.

Why seemed? Because the person was walking backward, Sun Erzhuang couldn’t see the face.

Yet this back view was extremely familiar.

"Erzhuang, the ghost is coming, quickly escape from the back of the temple, it’ll be too late if you don’t hurry!"

Hearing the familiar voice, Sun Erzhuang visibly froze.

He squinted his small eyes and trembled as he asked, "Mother, is that you?"

The old lady at the door sighed eerily with her back facing him.

With a flash of lightning, the old lady’s figure in the Incense Hall disappeared!

Sun Erzhuang felt both anxious and fearful, unable to comprehend why.

The big man told him to hide in the temple, then vanished in a blink.

The donkey called out in his dream, when he opened his eyes, the donkey was gone.

Now a figure resembling his mother appeared at the hall door, warned him to escape, then vanished again.

What on earth is happening? Just like the silver that keeps disappearing from his pocket, there must be a reason...

Sun Erzhuang turned to look at the corpse of the Flower Granny, and what he saw startled him further.

Oh heavens, the door bar and stick were placed right next to his mother’s hands!

Sun Erzhuang cried out, then slapped his forehead, suddenly understanding.

It was a reminder from his mother, signaling him to escape swiftly!

Thinking back, the rope that led the donkey from the courtyard into the Incense Hall must have been to warn its owner to leave quickly.

"Maybe the ghost is really coming!"

Realizing that staying there was dangerous, Sun Erzhuang wrapped his mother’s corpse in a straw mat again and placed it into the old coffin nearby. After finishing up, he hurried to the hall door, planning to leave in the rain!

Creak, the hall door opened halfway, Sun Erzhuang was about to run for his life, but as he rushed into the rain, he saw a person standing outside!

The person was wearing a blue robe with a white shirt, holding a Compass, and appeared completely dry with no sign of being in the rain!

Sun Erzhuang was shocked, his heart jumped to his throat.

He thought he had escaped too late, right into the ghost’s arms! ƒгeeweɓn૦vel.com

In the dark night, Sun Erzhuang couldn’t see the person’s features clearly, he yelled out and swung his fist towards the ghost!

.....

Outside the hall, Xu Qing, who had just found the place, hadn’t even stepped in when he saw the client staring at him as if he had seen a ghost, swinging a fist at his face.

What’s going on here?

Xu Qing caught Sun Erzhuang’s fist with a backhand, stepped forward quickly, and twisted Sun Erzhuang’s hand behind his back.

Just like that, Xu Qing dragging and pulling the screaming fat man, brought him into the hall.

The reason the fat man screamed so miserably was not because of pain, but because he was scared!

Xu Qing released his hand and snapped his fingers, causing the temple’s candles to burst into flames.

Screaming for a while with no one responding and no ghosts eating him, the fat man’s voice quieted down. As the flames lit up, he turned his face and finally saw the ’ghost’ clearly.

"Are you the Funeral Master?"

Xu Qing responded irritably, "Who else could I be, a ghost?"

Sun Erzhuang looked him over skeptically, his expression and words full of distrust.

"That’s not certain. You came from outside, why aren’t you wet?" Sun Erzhuang retreated a step, raising his voice a degree, "Could you be the ghost?"

"Not getting wet means a ghost? What kind of reasoning is that? Besides, have you ever seen a ghost before?"

"No, I haven’t."

Xu Qing chuckled, "Exactly. There’s no such thing as ghosts in this world. Don’t be afraid, when the rain stops and dawn comes, I’ll help you handle the old lady’s funeral."

Seeing Xu Qing’s calm demeanor, acting like a normal person, Sun Erzhuang’s suspicion lessened a bit.

But recalling his mother’s warning, he nervously said, "This place is dangerous, we should leave quickly!"

"Leave? Where to?" Xu Qing seemed to have a natural sense for corpses, heading straight to the old coffin in the Incense Hall.

"My mother warned me in a dream, saying a ghost is coming to the temple, we must escape!"

Xu Qing gave Sun Erzhuang a surprised look, then said, "Since I’m the Funeral Master you invited, I must fulfill my duties. Now your mother’s coffin is in this temple, so this temple is like her memorial hall. How could I leave the elder lady unattended at her resting place...

"A vigil must be kept, it’s not right to be without someone attending. Who knows if there are rats or wild animals that might damage the corpse, if that happens, I wouldn’t be fulfilling my responsibilities as the master...

Sun Erzhuang anxiously exclaimed, "Aren’t you afraid of the ghost coming?"
