I Only Want to Lie Flat But Am Forced to Cultivate Immortality-Chapter 141 - 93 Midnight Crow of a Rooster

People scaring people can still cause death, but whether ghosts scaring ghosts can frighten each other, Xu Qing didn’t know. However, the female ghost’s sudden face-to-face appearance in front of him truly scared this zombie.

Who in the world has a good ghost that idly plays face scares!

As for the female ghost’s skill in scaring people, it was a bit effective, but when it comes to real strength...

One must know that powerful ghosts don’t scare people, and ghosts that scare people are not powerful.

Powerful ghosts disdain scaring people, and ghosts that scare people often lack enough skill to easily extinguish the Yang Fire on living people. So, they resort to affecting people’s emotions to cause fluctuations in their Yang Fire, seizing the opportunity to harm them.

There are three flames on a person, one on the top of the head and one on each shoulder.

As long as the Yang Fire is strong, those little ghosts and monsters can’t come near.

This is also the reason why when walking at night, you shouldn’t easily turn back when someone calls your name.

Because at night, the Yang Fire is not as strong as in the day, making it easy for demons to take advantage.

Besides, the more fearful a person is and the greater their emotional fluctuations, the easier it is for the Yang Fire to be blown out and for evil spirits to invade.

If the former flame goes out, the person dies instantly. In the case of the latter, if the evil wind weakens the flame, the person becomes seriously ill.

Xu Qing had no Yang Fire on his head and shoulders, but had plenty of Yin Fire on his body. If a ghost were to blow on him, it would likely not extinguish but rather fuel the fire, making it blaze even stronger.

In the Funeral Shop, with precautions in place, Xu Qing replayed the revolving lantern.

No matter what, Liu Cai and Feng Liu were mortals. They were already frightened by the Yin Wind blowing on their necks earlier, causing their Yang Fire to flicker unsteadily. At this moment, turning around and seeing the female ghost with her clothes fluttering, the double fright destabilized their Yang Fire even more, providing an opportunity for the Yin Wind from the female ghost to attack!

"Mother—!" Liu Cai was the first to turn around. Upon seeing the fierce face of the female ghost with dark veins, he immediately rolled his eyes, and two of his three Yang Fires went out instantly with a puff.

Feng Liu, already harboring a guilty conscience, heard Liu Cai’s cry and turned to look. Good heavens! The female ghost, who had been sitting on the weaving stool, suddenly appeared right in front of him.

Xu Qing had already prepared. He slowed the turning of the Sutra of Salvation and stared at the female ghost for a while.

To be fair, although the female ghost’s face was bloodless and fierce, from his experience of preparing corpses, she must have been a pretty young woman in life.

It’s unclear how she became a resentful ghost.

At this point, Feng Liu, after seeing the female ghost, didn’t take a breath and didn’t blink an eye. Just bile dripped from the corner of his mouth, as fear literally scared him to death.

In theory, the revolving lantern should have ended by now, but the Sutra of Salvation continued to turn.

Xu Qing suddenly understood; someone wasn’t completely dead yet!

Indeed, one flame was still flickering, and the female ghost immediately turned her attention to Liu Cai, who wasn’t fully dead. freёnovelkiss.com

Wearing a pair of exquisitely embroidered pink and white shoes, the female ghost floated gently towards Liu Cai and squatted in front of him. She hugged her knees and blew on his right shoulder with her blackened lips.

As the last Yang Fire extinguished, the Sutra of Salvation stopped turning.

Xu Qing came to his senses and found a bamboo basket marked with a low-grade person symbol in his hand, which could be used to fetch water but wouldn’t leak.

"..."

What kind of nonsensical item like taking off one’s pants to fart is this?

Xu Qing held up the bamboo basket. It looked just like any ordinary woven bamboo item, bearing no special features.

Looking again at the corpse’s evaluation, it was labeled as low-grade person.

A corpse, and it only resulted in a broken basket. Not even a skill for scraping whitewash was obtained.

Xu Qing laughed.

When a person is speechlessly extreme, they can laugh out loud.

In life, Liu Cai hadn’t learned any skills or had any flattery talents. He just wandered the streets, looking for weddings to take advantage of by showing up early, under the guise of helping out to join in the festivities.

For funerals, he would act as a mourner; for someone who got a government position, he would go to announce the good news.

In short, he aimed for unearned benefits, striving for food, drink, and rewards without labor.

This kind of idler is the worst of the idle crowd!

So the question arises, are there any good, non-worthless individuals among the idle crowd?

You might not believe it, but actually, there aren’t!

What constitutes "idle helpers" are those who are unruly, shameless, thick-skinned, and greedy, people who are called idle helpers.

These people are also called "bamboo strips".

What are bamboo strips? They are thin pieces split from bamboo.

These are indispensable for weaving bamboo baskets and various bamboo utensils.

The reason they became synonymous with idle helpers is that when brothel guests failed to perform, idle helpers would often stand by, assisting with bamboo strips.

Thus, "bamboo strips" became an unintended nickname for idle helpers.

Understanding this, Xu Qing looked at the bamboo basket in his hand and felt its value was elevated.

It’s a pity the Sutra of Salvation didn’t have a beast rating; people who incite others for lewd fun shouldn’t be defined with human characters.

Putting the water-fetching bamboo basket aside, Xu Qing turned to search Feng Liu’s corpse.

It was also rated low-grade person, and the reward was a bamboo umbrella without a cover, only able to repel rainwater.

Xu Qing opened the bamboo umbrella, indeed finding only the ribs with no cover.

"..."

After a moment of silence, Xu Qing put away the umbrella and basket, and asked Xuan Yu, "How much silver did these two corpses cost altogether?"

At this time, Xuan Yu had just finished eating osmanthus fish and was licking his paws.
