I Only Want to Lie Flat But Am Forced to Cultivate Immortality-Chapter 82 - 68 Golden House, Yan Ruyu

Tian She Gong passed away peacefully.

He was smiling when he left.

But the others were not so peaceful.

In the empty room of the tea house’s backyard, a grandson of the Tian Family ran out crazily, with an excited face saying:

"Yay, I got it! I got it!" frёewebηovel.cѳm

However, his voice came to an abrupt stop the next moment.

"You animal, what did you get?!"

A fair-faced young man at the doorway chased after him, rolled up his sleeves, and slapped Tian She Gong’s great-grandson down to the ground.

Then the young man calmly withdrew his hand, letting the grandson sit on the ground holding his face in pain.

If you ask what happened, why did the fair-faced young man hit someone for no reason?

We need to start from the time of the provincial examination results, when Tian She Gong happily became a scholar.

Ever since Tian She Gong got overly excited, fainting at the exam site entrance, everyone sent him for medical treatment.

However, it was a heart disease, and there was no physical ailment. The doctors who came to diagnose, all shook their heads after examining him. During this time, Xu Qing tried to use a disease-expelling charm but couldn’t expel the poison of the heart disease.

In the end, the Attendant Imperial Physician beside the Crown Prince stepped in, using Qimen Medical Technique to wake the dying Tian She Gong from his coma.

However, before everyone could breathe a sigh of relief, Tian She Gong, who had regained consciousness, fainted again with a whimper.

By dusk, Tian She Gong’s spirit had completely left, and he had finally exhausted his last breath.

The people of the Tian Family cried in a group, holding onto Tian She Gong’s corpse yet had nowhere to go, until Guo Dongyang communicated with the Tea House Shopkeeper, placing Tian She Gong’s body in the empty room in the backyard.

Who could have known that during the vigil, the grandson of the Tian Family suddenly ran out crazily from the tea house, shouting "I got it!" "I got it!" at the street corner like mad.

The commotion made by Tian She Gong’s son was very loud, startling the resting people in the tea house into a busy frenzy, trying to haul the crazy Tian Family member back.

And strange enough, it was difficult to restrain that Tian Family member even with the efforts of the tea house attendants, the shopkeeper, Guo Dongyang, and the Wu Family brothers.

But as soon as Xu Qing appeared, the struggling Tian Family member immediately calmed down.

"Where am I? What are you all doing around me?" This was the first sentence spoken by the Tian Family member after he regained clarity.

Seeing the Tian Family member awaken, but the matter was far from over.

At twilight, an old servant guarding Tian She Gong also pushed open the door and shouted, "I got it."

This time, everyone in the tea house couldn’t sleep.

Although the dead should be respected, the tea house shopkeeper was deeply frightened by the continuous strange events.

The storyteller always spoke of spirits and ghosts, and people always treated them as stories, as things without shadows!

But now they were witnessing real ghostly events.

"Should we report it to the authorities? Send Mr. Tian’s remains to the Government Office..."

Upon hearing this, the lively Tian Family member immediately became unhappy.

In these times, it’s about returning to the roots, the dead should be buried completely in the ancestral tomb. If the old man’s corpse is sent to the government office, can it come back intact? It would likely be burned to ashes, and there would be no place to reason.

Moreover, the old man valued his reputation the most his entire life, finally becoming a scholar despite dying cleanly, worthy of leaving a good name in history books.

If people knew that the old man became a ghost and harmed others after death, wouldn’t it be a huge laughingstock?

It’s unclear where the Tian Family member got so much idol burden, but in any case, he wouldn’t let anyone report to the authorities, instead, inquiring about monks, Daoists, and Witch Mages, saying he wanted to organize a ritual, perhaps after performing these, the old man would feel their filial piety and settle down, resting in reincarnation.

Xu Qing, who had been like an outsider all along, suddenly became energetic upon hearing this.

Organizing rituals and conducting exorcisms, that’s my specialty!

Why go far, you can directly find me!

Guo Dongyang didn’t know this, and the Wu Family brothers explained, and then everyone realized that Scholar Xu usually dealt with funerals and conducted rituals.

The Tian Family thought, this came just as timely as providing a pillow when someone is sleepy, so they decided to let Mr. Xu try.

Seeing the atmosphere appropriate, as long as Xu Qing went to suppress Tian Lao Tai Yazhou, this matter would be over.

But Tian She Gong’s great-grandson, being particularly curious, insisted on seeing what special skills someone who passed the exam on the same day had.

Xu Qing didn’t like people without boundaries.

Storytellers have stronger curiosity, but Guo Dongyang knew each profession has its secrets.

Like street performers, if you try to uncover their tricks, you surely invite resentment.

Seeing Tian She Gong’s great-grandson following, Xu Qing let him be.

When they arrived at the room where the corpse lay, Tian She Gong was lying quietly on a straw mat, covered with a paper quilt, looking very much like a scene from a zombie story.

"Are you really not afraid?" Xu Qing asked.

"Not afraid!"

The Tian Family grandson forced himself to remain calm, reasoning: "My great-grandfather loved me the most before he passed away, how could he possess to harm me?"

Xu Qing laughed: "Indeed, elders always love their grandchildren, and it’s reasonable to expect them to help their grandchildren pass the examination as a top scholar."

What did this mean? The Tian Family grandson couldn’t understand at first, until Tian She Gong lying on the straw mat lifted the paper quilt, sat up straight, and puffed a breath onto his face, then the Tian Family grandson finally understood.

No wonder all the mad ones during the day were from the Tian Family; it turned out that Great-Grandfather wanted his family members to all pass as top scholars!
