Yin Yang Lantern Man

Chapter 140 My Inner Demon Comes Out
Run, did you run?
Chen Ning'an watched coldly. Under his qi-gazing technique, all ghosts and monsters could not escape. The black energy on the statue was almost condensed into substance. It might be at the critical point of guiding the way.

Unfortunately, there is still no trace of dark blue, which is not a guide.

The statue had just smashed the temple door and was thrown out, and the next second the women and children cried heart-wrenchingly.

The sound made people's scalps tingle. Everyone looked outside the house and saw that the statue seemed to be suppressed by some terrible force. It slowly bent and knelt.

The curse strikes again.

Chen Ning'an watched coldly as the statue's knees made a cracking sound and it knelt on the ground.

"Ghost, please come slower." Chen Ning'an came to the door, only a few steps away from the statue.

He bent over, and his head involuntarily wanted to hit the ground.

But the next second, his head was torn apart. It was the ghost that came.

Familiar words began to appear on the ground. First it was the word "God", but then the word "ghost" came and began to smear it.

"Oh my god, are the gods and ghosts here together?"

A lantern bearer cried out in horror: "Gods are fighting, this is a real fight between gods, and we mortals are suffering."

"This statue is actually a monster, but how did it get involved with the words gods and ghosts? I don't know whether we are lucky or unlucky."

"It's so scary. Let's sneak out the back door. It's going to kill us if we stay here."

The lantern holders exchanged a few words, and one of them was already planning to escape through the back door.

They all rushed to the back door, only to find that it had been blocked by a huge rock and they couldn't get out at all.

"It's over!"

Some people collapsed on the ground, with the statue's shrill screams filling their ears.

His head completely fell off his neck, but what was shocking was that His head did not fall to the ground, but moved in the air.

The statue's face was full of pain, and two terrible curses were fighting for His life.

Chen Ning'an endured the severe pain and used the Qi-gazing technique. He saw two balls of dark green air lingering around the statue, and the words on the wall were constantly changing.

Sometimes it is a [ghost], sometimes it is a [god], and the strength of the two seems to be evenly matched.

Chen Ning'an narrowed his eyes slightly. This state was very strange. The statue was in a state of being half dead and half dead.

He is not dead yet, at least not until the confrontation between the two curses is over.

Chen Ning'an reached out and touched the seal and paper in his arms. These two items had not brought him any benefits.

"Wow! Woohoo!"

The statue somehow got the strength to stand up from the ground, and then it rolled and crawled towards the temple.

Chen Ning'an's face turned cold, he raised his foot and stepped on His knee, then exerted more force!

The statue was surprisingly not as strong as him, and was stepped back. This time, the balance was finally broken. The curse of the [God] gradually overwhelmed the curse of the [ghost]. Finally, the head of the statue stretched out and hit the ground heavily.

The words on the wall also turned into the word "God".

It's not that the word "God" is stronger, but Chen Ning'an's kick on the curse of the word "Ghost" broke the balance.

He felt a sinking sensation in his arms, and then an object appeared next to the seal.

When he picked it up, it turned out not to be a gold bar, but a "miracle medicine" that surprised Chen Ning'an.

This really surprised him. He had taken too many special medicines and it was impossible for him to admit his mistake.

The taste, flavor, and aroma are exactly the same.

But, a statue that is almost at the level of a guide is only worth one special medicine?

He snorted coldly, how greedy he was, and then took out the paper and seal from his arms.

What happens when you put the two together?

Will the two curses fight because of this? When I killed the statue just now, the two were fighting, which was no less than a head-on fight.

He took it out and hesitated for a moment. No, now was not the time to use it like that. He had not yet figured out the details of the two.

The words "God" and "Ghost" came from his hand, but now it seems that they did not come from his hand. The waters of this world are too deep.

Chen Ning'an walked out of the house. The statue had lost its life force. He walked in the forest, letting the red-robed corpse lead the way.

"Brother, are you just leaving like this? It's not safe outside!"

The people holding lanterns behind him shouted, they wanted Chen Ning'an to stay.

But how could he continue to stay in the temple? He was not here for fun, and if he didn't get promoted, then it would be no different from not coming here at all.

Chen Ning'an's eyes were always open with the Qi-sensing technique. His steps were not slow at this time, and he was moving quickly in the forest.

The two curses came and went, but now they left traces behind, and he was moving with the energy of the two.

The air on both sides was not heading in the same direction, so he could only choose to follow the breath of the ghost. The environment around him became more and more desolate and unfamiliar.

Chen Ning'an ignored him and eventually lost the other party's trace in a river.

The big river in the lantern world flows with scarlet water, and no one knows what has stained it.

The river was so wide that he couldn't see its end at all, as if he had arrived at the seaside at night.

I can't catch up anymore.

Chen Ning'an looked in the direction of the energy and actually dived into the water.

Ghosts live in the water?
Nothing seemed to be wrong. Chen Ningan hesitated for a moment, wondering whether to enter the water.
He looked at the water in front of him, the blood-red water, plus it was right in front of him, it should be the Water and Fire Ji Ji hexagram.

The Water and Fire Ji Ji hexagram, where water and fire intersect, indicates a state of resistance and attachment. The two are one cold and one hot, one yin and one yang. If viewed normally, there is no problem.

Chen Ning'an still remembers that a master once told him that there are two opposing hexagrams among the Eight Trigrams that need attention, namely Qian and Kun, and Kan and Li.

That is, heaven and earth, water and fire. When these two are in opposition, everything will be overturned and broken, and nothing will exist.

Water and fire are opposites. Even if you go to the ends of the earth, the original things will not change.

At this time, the water and fire hexagrams were in harmony, which made Chen Ning'an stop and feel a little troubled.

Do you want to go in?
This blood-red river makes no sound at all, but the water is moving, which looks particularly strange.

It doesn't mean you have to do something just because the hexagram indicates that it is possible.

For example, a fortune teller tells you that the girlfriend you have been with for five years is bad for your fortune and you should break up with her.

Then will you separate?
Chen Ning'an was still hesitating, and after a moment he slowly turned around and left.

There was no need, he could wait a little longer.

After walking two steps, Chen Ning'an stopped again. He turned around and quickly walked to the riverside. Since he was already here, he was unwilling to leave like this.

"Come, let me see what this entangled thing is!"

He jumped into the water and instantly felt the huge tearing force of the water!

The river that seemed calm and silent on the surface actually concealed an extremely turbulent undercurrent. He quickly slid his limbs to try to stabilize himself, but he couldn't exert any strength because there was no place to exert force.

There was water everywhere. He stopped breathing and followed the blood-red water flow.

He clearly felt that he was going downwards and being washed and sunk.

If it were an ordinary person, he would have suffocated to death long ago, and even a powerful lantern bearer might not be able to hold on.

He estimated that he had sunk at least a hundred meters, and the surrounding water pressure began to act on his body, trying to crush him.

But the big talisman on Chen Ning'an's body heated up slightly, turning this terrible pressure into a paper tiger.

After sinking for a few more minutes, Chen Ningan's clothes were completely stuck to his body, making it very difficult to move them with his fingers.

He was still sinking as if this place was a bottomless pit, and the pressure was so great that his zipper was twisted.

Even the fierce water flow seems powerless here and cannot wash away anything.

Just when he thought he would keep falling, he finally saw the bottom.

It was a glowing forest.

Yes, there are actually glowing plants under the water. They are rooted in the water and swaying, making people think that this might be an illusion.

"Are there any signs of human life?"

Suddenly Chen Ning'an's eyes widened, and he saw a stone road in the glowing forest.

When he stepped onto the stone road, the pressure suddenly increased and all the buttons on his body were flattened.

"It's so heavy!" Chen Ning'an was surprised. He felt the pressure of difficulty, let alone others.

It's a total of more than 8,000 kilograms of strength. It's terrifying to tell others about it. It weighs more than four tons. Chen Ning'an moved here and walked forward along the stone road.

There were plants along the way, and these glowing things were swaying, as if welcoming his arrival.

At the end of the stone road, Chen Ningan saw something even more absurd.

It was a thatched house.

Where did the thatched hut come from under this heavy water?
It was as absurd as a dream, but Chen Ning'an was sure that this was not a dream.

The road went straight into the thatched hut. He followed the inertia of the water pressure to the door of the house, but did not dare to go in.

Let’s use the Qigong technique to check it out.

He opened his eyes and looked around, but was even more speechless the next second.

The art of looking at qi has lost its effect.

All the eyes in his body were pressed shut by the water pressure, and he could not see what was going on here.

interesting.

Chen Ning'an quietly peeked into the thatched hut from the door.

It was only about twenty square meters in size, surrounded by mud houses. There were tables, chairs and benches in the house, but nothing else.

He went in bravely, knowing that the hexagram would not deceive him.

Still nothing was found, but the situation here is irrational.

He sat down in a chair and wondered if there was anything he hadn't discovered.

As soon as he sat down and stopped exercising, Chen Ningan noticed something different.

Because it's too quiet.

There was no sound under the water, it was dead silent.

So he began to hear other sounds in the thatched hut.

Strange and incomprehensible things always happen in the house in the Lantern World, like now.

Chen Ning'an heard someone talking.

"It should be like this, why not?"

The voice was puzzled: "Why? Which link went wrong?"

Along with those doubtful words, Chen Ning'an found that he actually began to see pictures.

It was a young man in a robe, and he was moving around the room.

There were four oil lamps on the table, and in front of each lamp there was a paper figure.

This is……

Chen Ning'an's heart was pounding and he dared not make any sound.

The young man in the long robe was seen holding the hand seals with both hands and chanting the formulas to the paper figures on the table again.

It was a very strange French pronunciation. Chen Ning'an quickly memorized it in his mind, and then he saw the paper man on the table began to tremble.

Suddenly, they flew out like a gust of wind and disappeared in the blink of an eye.

"It's done!"

The young man in the robe cheered, and finally slowly looked at Chen Ningan.

"You said I made it, didn't you?"

At this moment, their eyes met, and Chen Ningan could be sure that the other person was looking at him!
"Are you right?"

Seeing that Chen Ning'an didn't answer, the man asked again.

How did Chen Ning'an know whether it would work or not? He was about to speak when his body suddenly became out of control.

"It's done, it's done."

His mouth opened and closed, revealing the same voice as that of the young man in the robe.

"What the hell, get out of my body!"

Chen Ning'an woke up suddenly. He felt something in his body that did not belong to him.

"I am you."

The young man in the long robe slowly turned his head, and it was Chen Ning'an's appearance.

"impossible!"

Chen Ning'an suddenly came back to his senses. He quickly tore open his fingers, letting the blood seep out.

He painted calming charms on his body and forced himself to calm down.

The surrounding scene began to flicker, and the paper man who cast the spell showed a strange smile.

"Why are you running?"

Damn it!
Chen Ning'an's face looked grim. He pushed hard in the water and began to dive to the surface.

He was moving away from that place quickly. For some reason, Chen Ningan felt a sense of disconnection in his heart.

Why does that person look like him?

This is unacceptable. After much effort, Chen Ningan returned to the ground. He was soaked...

"Where's the water?"

He was suddenly shocked again. His body was dry, where was the drop of water?

He quickly turned around and saw a wilderness behind him. Where did the river water come from?

What on earth is that thing? Is it really attached to me as the hexagram indicates?

It would be fine if it was normally attached, but now he has no idea what that thing is.

It couldn't be an illusion, Chen Ning'an was extremely sure. He quickly lit a red candle and waited in an open space until the lantern-lighting ended.

"Brother, it's time to receive the reward."

He was in a daze and only responded when Ye Anren called him, Chen Ning'an.

What exactly is that?
Although he had only seen it once and heard it once, Chen Ning'an's mind was full of those four paper figures, four oil lamps, and those strange hand gestures and pronunciations.

"Damn, am I being influenced?"

Chen Ning'an returned to Xie Chi's home and for some unknown reason went to fold paper figures.

"What am I doing?"

He stopped in shock and began to lose control of himself.

He always does things that go against common sense unintentionally.

"I need more calming charms!"

Chen Ning'an took a deep breath and then began to paint. He already had experience and was almost familiar with the process from the last time he dealt with the Mountain Mother.

…………

"Mr. Chen, what's wrong with you?"

When Xie Chi came back, he found the whole room was filled with papers with strange patterns on them.

Red threads with talisman papers are wrapped around tables, TVs, coffee tables, vases, windowsills, etc.

In the center, Chen Ningan sat cross-legged with his eyes closed, looking unusually solemn.

“My inner demon came out.”

Chen Ningan spoke calmly, still without opening his eyes:

"This is an inevitable obstacle on the road to cultivation. Wait for me to calm down."
