I Only Want to Lie Flat But Am Forced to Cultivate Immortality Chapter 848 - 408: By Fate and Emptiness of Origin

Before Lu Zizhan finished speaking, another rogue squeezed out from the crowd, claiming he personally saw Lu Zizhan drag the woman into his ho.

"You intend to impose a cri, what cri cannot be confessed? You have rely accepted the Ni family’s silver coins, wishing to exonerate them."

"But you forgot, I am a scholar with a title, no matter what you do, don’t think you can turn black into white!"

The constable saw this, and imdiately turned his gaze to the harlot.

The latter understood tacitly and imdiately shouted, "Officer! When this shaless beast defiled , I bit his chest, this is the evidence! He says I frad him, but is the purity he defiled not real?"

The leading constable imdiately ordered soone to tear open Lu Zizhan’s clothes, and indeed, teeth marks were laid out on his chest.

Now that there were both witness and material evidence, Lu Zizhan had no words to argue.

After the Prefectural Magistrate’s Office sent the case files to the provincial education office, Lu Zizhan’s title was revoked and he was stripped of his clothes and crest, the Prefect then instructed the local County Governnt Office to handle Lu Zizhan’s case.

In order to make Lu Zizhan sign the confession, the County Magistrate personally ca forward and said, "Scholar Lu, you can only bla yourself for not understanding the tis. Now you can’t escape disaster, I advise you to confess early, to avoid unnecessary suffering."

"Bah!" Lu Zizhan gritted his teeth, "Corrupt officials! You conspire together to fra the innocent, I, Lu Zizhan, stand upright and sit straight, I’d rather die than confess to this baseless charge!"

"What a cunning reckless fool, dare to roar in court and insult the imperial court officials!"

"Soone, beat him heavily!"

How could a re scholar like Lu Zizhan endure such brutal torture?

By the ti he fainted from the beatings, the County Magistrate signaled to the governnt officials, who understood imdiately, and surrounded to block the view of the onlookers, forcing Lu Zizhan to imprint his fingerprints and sign the confession.

Alas, a potential champion, a righteous scholar, thus ended his bright future.

Lu Zizhan’s resentnt lingered, yet considering himself a gentleman, he beca a yin ghost who still refused to harm others.

Yet the resentnt constantly eroded his spirit, causing him imnse pain.

Perhaps it was heaven’s justice.

Just when Lu Zizhan intended to break into the Governnt Office protected by evil qi with his yin ghost body, to end it all, a masked stranger suddenly blocked him, claiming to be able to use small magic to hide so of his mories, allowing him to be free from resentnt disturbance.

The stranger didn’t leave a na, and when Lu Zizhan regained consciousness, his mory was already in chaos, the Prefect and Ni family who had frad him beca bandits, and he beca a scholar rushing for exams.

If everything went as expected, Lu Zizhan would now wander in confusion henceforth.

But he t Cheng Caiyun who loved eating lons.

As Lu Zizhan gradually recounted his past, he also step by step unlocked the seal left by the masked stranger.

When Lu Zizhan sequentially finished telling his life’s story, his mories from life also returned with it.

Cheng Caiyun suddenly realized.

It turned out that the person who told stories to her every full moon night wasn’t a living scholar, but a soul of a lone ghost who suffered a tragic incident!

Seeing Miss Cheng not speaking, Lu Zizhan thought the girl in front of him feared him.

But to his surprise, Cheng Caiyun not only showed no sign of fear, but even stepped forward, wanting to pull him into the shop.

"You’re not afraid of ?"

"You haven’t hard , and you chat with to relieve boredom, why should I be afraid of you? If I were really afraid of you, I wouldn’t wait for you every 15th of the month, save food for you, and you probably would have starved on the streets long ago...

No, you seem to have already died."

Cheng Caiyun felt sad, yet inexplicably happy.

"Miss Cheng, why are you so happy?"

Lu Zizhan was confused, why was this person secretly happy after hearing he was a ghost?

The next mont, Lu Zizhan saw Cheng Caiyun blushing deeply saying, "When you were alive you were a scholar, even if I married you wouldn’t marry a girl who hasn’t studied..."

"..."

Lu Zizhan’s mouth opened slightly, unable to speak for a long ti.

Was he being confessed to by Miss Cheng?

From this day on, neighbors would often see Cheng Caiyun talking to herself, sotis laughing inexplicably, as if soone was chatting with her, teasing her.

The Wu couple at the Paper Mache Shop saw sothing amiss and thought that the owner Cheng was at the age to be discussing marriage, if she didn’t find a family soon, she might really beco ill.

However, when faced with Wu Yaohua’s and others’ inquiries, Cheng Caiyun said she already had soone in her heart, and the other party was a scholar!

The neighbors exchanged glances, unable to distinguish truth from falsehood.

Only Cheng Caiyun knew she truly had a husband.

"July 15th is the day we t, why not get married on that day, what do you think?"

In the empty Incense and Candle Shop, on the offering table stood a morial tablet, inscribed with ’Husband Lu Zizhan’s Spirit, Wife Cheng Caiyun Worships’.

This was a morial tablet Cheng Caiyun personally wrote after learning to read and write with Lu Zizhan.

As early as half a year ago, Lu Zizhan’s ghost had been eroded by resentnt from his past life, no longer clear-minded.

To avoid affecting Cheng Caiyun, Lu Zizhan would go to the Governnt Office daily, borrowing the evil qi there to wear down his resentnt, but the evil qi also wore down his ghost.

Lu Zizhan’s form faded daily until one day, Cheng Caiyun widened her eyes, no matter how she called, how she tried to see, she could no longer see Lu Zizhan’s figure, nor hear his voice.

She searched everywhere but only found a piece of yellow paper with words on it on the counter.
