Yin Yang Lantern Man

Chapter 188 Road Guide
"Wait a minute."

A person in charge suddenly spoke up, pointing at the door and saying, "We still have people who haven't arrived yet."

Is there anyone else who hasn’t come?
Everyone looked around and found that the entire Mucheng was divided into sixteen main roads. Each road was an area, so there were sixteen people in charge.

Excluding Qin Fangchao, there are only fifteen people sitting in the seats now, which means there is one person who has not arrived.

"Xue Rudong hasn't come yet."

The person who spoke was actually Xue Rudong's partner. In the officialdom, you can choose not to take sides, but you cannot be without your own allies.

The two of them were usually close, and this occasion brought them in good stead.

The look in the eyes of the thoughtful person changed slightly, and he couldn't help but look more thoughtful when he saw Qin Fangchao's expression.

Xue Rudong was excluded from this occasion because he handled the thorny Eighth Hospital incident?

In addition, Xue Rudong guaranteed the safety of Mr. Chun’s granddaughter, so he has threatened the other party’s position?

There is no need to think too much about some things. As long as you consider your own interests, many things will have an answer.

You know, this year's selection for the second-in-command is about to begin again.

Qin Fangchao, your attitude is a bit ugly.

A person in charge who had no hope of promotion sneered: "Xue Rudong is a hero of our Mucheng anyway. You are marginalizing him by doing this."

We are all responsible, and theoretically, we all have the qualifications to sit in the second-in-command chair.

But why are they still in the position of responsible persons? It is because they have no background connections.

Some people sit there for their entire lives, but that doesn't stop them from venting their anger.

The surname Qin... He was really born in Rome, which makes people jealous.

Qin Fangchao's expression remained unchanged, and he said in a friendly manner: "I have already informed you in advance. There are still two minutes before the meeting starts. Xue Rudong is late. Do we have to wait for him?"

His tone inevitably became a little harsher: "I didn't say anything about Xue Rudong being late, so how could I have the intention of marginalizing him?"

"It's clear that it was Xue Rudong who wanted to marginalize himself!"

Wow, the officialdom is really like a battlefield, where offense and defense change so quickly.

Everyone had a smile on their face, but the meaning was unclear.

It's not time yet, but the meeting time is very close.

Xue Rudong might really be late, and then he would have to bear the consequences himself.

Everyone looked towards the door and waited quietly.

Two minutes passed by, and a flash of sneer flashed across Qin Fangchao's face. Just as he was about to speak, Xue Rudong appeared silently at the door.

How did he show up? No one knew, but they still nodded to Xue Rudong. After all, they had just dealt with the incident at the Eighth Hospital, so they had to give him some face.

"Everyone is well."

Xue Rudong sat in his seat and looked at Qin Fangchao quietly.

That look made Qin Fangchao feel a little chilly.

"Ahem, since everyone is here, I won't waste your time talking about Lao Xue. Now, please take a look at the information in your hands."

"That's disgusting."

The person in charge beside Xue Rudong curled his lips and picked up the information nonchalantly.

Qin Fangchao's voice sounded at the right time to explain to everyone: "It can be seen that strange cases have occurred frequently in Mu City recently, causing great panic. They have basically occurred in all sixteen areas."

Everyone looked at the documents in silence. Apart from Qin Fangchao's voice, the only sound was the sound of them flipping through the documents.

"I hope everyone can express their opinions and see how this incident can be investigated and resolved. After all, dragging it out won't work."

"I thought it was something else, but it turns out to be just this."

Suddenly, Xue Rudong closed the information and spoke nonsense, showing his disdain for it.

Qin Fangchao's eyes turned even uglier. He put on a standard smile and asked, "Oh? Does our hero Xue have any good ideas?"

"Good idea? No, I just happen to have a solution to this problem."

Xue Rudong stood up and took out a piece of paper from his arms. On the paper was a picture of Liao Yun.

"I believe everyone is familiar with this sticker, so I will briefly explain it."

Xue Rudong said: "It comes from Liao Juhei's handwriting. As long as it is posted on the door, the things in these cases will not be able to invade the house at all."

Qin Fangchao's expression remained unchanged. He smiled and said, "This method is good, but it is only a temporary solution. We can do this until we find a solution."

"Then may I ask, does Hero Xue have any solution to cure the disease?"

"No."

Xue Rudong refused without hesitation: "I will be responsible for guaranteeing the aftermath for everyone, but the fundamental solution needs to be discussed by you together."

This move directly took me out, great!

The responsible persons started to think and discuss who should be responsible for the investigation.

After all, the case can only be handled after the investigation results are out.

Xue Rudong just sneered at this. The master was the biggest mastermind behind all this, a sober being at the [out of control] level. It would be a miracle if they could find a solution.

Finally, they decided to each send a Ye An veteran to investigate and give them access to some of the out-of-control objects.

This matter has come to an end.

But they may not know that a shadow covering the night is growing rapidly.

The population of Mucheng is over 10 million. With the posting of the "door gods" papers, there may not be much difference between the first and second days, but on the third and fourth days, the effects began to appear.

Chen Ning'an felt that the recovery speed of the Qi in his body was increasing rapidly, and ordinary talismans could basically be restored with just one stroke.

There were more and more paper people, and when he closed his eyes, he could feel the "stars" on the ground.

Each of these star points is his paper man. Now he is still proceeding step by step. After a few days, or ten days, he will be able to complete the layout completely, and the entire Mu City will become his battery.

In comparison, Liao Yun's changes are undoubtedly greater.

"Mr. Chen Ning'an, I feel like I am...very powerful now!"

A person walked out from the drawing paper on the door. It was Liao Yun.

At this time, he was wearing armor and holding a treasure in his hand. He looked mighty and domineering.

"This is normal. The more people talk about you, the stronger you become. This is the orthodox belief in Shinto!"

Chen Ning'an said to him: "Congratulations, from now on you are considered a local god."

"Local God?"

Liao Yun couldn't help but ponder over such a novel term.

“Is this the god in charge of a place?”

He wondered, "Are there other gods?"

"The God of the South? The New Qin God? Or... the God of the World?"

"Too one-sided." Chen Ning'an couldn't help but say happily: "Your guess is very close to the truth, but it's still not bold enough."

He doesn't mind revealing a little bit of God's level to his tools.

"Local gods are the weakest gods. They can only manage a piece of land. They are weak and can be considered as spiritual lords."

"Above the local gods are the Spirit Lord, the Divine Lord, the Heavenly Lord, the Star Lord, the True Lord, the Emperor Lord, and the Dao Lord, a total of seven ranks."

"You are at the bottom of the seventh level, and you still have a long way to go in the future."

Having said that, Chen Ningan took a deep breath. With so many levels, he himself... is still a mortal.

He aspires to become an immortal. If he becomes a god, he should be similar to Liao Yun.

But immortals are different.

There are five types of immortals: heaven, earth, humans, gods, and ghosts. He wants to be a celestial immortal, but celestial immortals... that's too far-fetched.

Chen Ning'an stopped talking and comprehended quietly.

The body has now adapted successfully and needs to prepare for the next step.

The process of refining essence into Qi has been completed. With the huge base of human Qi in Mucheng, he can go one step further and look for the next step of refining Qi into spirit!

Taoist books say that Qi and spirit are combined to refine Qi, and that Qi is transformed into spirit. I wonder what kind of realm this is.

The road to becoming an immortal must be taken step by step, and no carelessness can be achieved. Chen Ning'an looked out the window and sighed deeply.

To Liao Yun, Chen Ning'an looked even more unfathomable at this moment.

"Jingle Bell."

The phone rang. It was Xue Rudong calling. He briefly explained the content of the meeting and asked Chen Ning'an if he needed to cover up anything.

"No need. With the suppression of the Death Light Realm, Buddha is no longer afraid of Ye An's exploration."

Chen Ning'an was relieved about this, so he didn't pay too much attention to it. Besides, Zheng Wen and Zheng Wu were there to back him up. With one territory master and three people who feared darkness, what else could not be solved?
He planned to stay quiet for a while, practicing quietly, holding a lantern, and consolidating his cultivation.

But this plan was obviously going to fail.

On the evening of the third day, he was browsing Mucheng Yean's tasks on his mobile phone when there was a knock on the door.

"Who?"

Chen Ning'an smelled a familiar scent. He opened the door and saw that it was Gao Xun, whom he hadn't seen for a long time.

And behind Gao Xun, there stood Qin Wen!

"Finally found!"

Qin Wen let out a long sigh, then bowed to Chen Ning'an.

"Master, we are in big trouble!"

"What's going on?" Chen Ning'an frowned: "If you have trouble, go and die, don't let me get in trouble."

What he wants is resources and support, not resistance.

"No, Master, what we are facing is trouble, but also opportunity!"

It was Gao Xun who took over the conversation. He said, "The human realm is setting up a deep prison. Currently, about 40% of the layout has been completed, but it has been exposed."

"Oh?"

Chen Ningan thought of those who were afraid of the dark and led the way before, all of them were trapped in the deep prison and were in a stalemate. Could it be related to the human realm?
After arriving in Mu City, he had not paid much attention to the human world. He did not expect that he would find such a big surprise.

"The Ye An of Mucheng is incredibly powerful. They are competing with us to find the same thing."

Gao Xun exposed the plan of his forces without any concealment: "It is said that the thing is about a road. Once it is found, it will be enough to protect the safety of a city for the next 20 years!"

As expected, this sentence attracted Chen Ning'an's interest. He pretended to listen and said to them, "Come in and talk."

Once inside the room, they were safe!
The two of them felt relieved and couldn't wait to close the door.

"What it is?"

Chen Ningan asked: "What shape, and what is that road?"

"That thing is a road guide!" Gao Xun said his own opinion: "I named it a road guide. Zhongcheng also found it once before. Someone stepped into a strange road."

"Strange road?"

Chen Ning'an looked thoughtful as Gao Xun continued, "That road is very magical, like a ridge extending out of the mist, stretching to the endless distance."

“Everyone who returns will lose all memories of that road, but whoever sets foot on that road will eventually bring twenty years of peace to their city.”

"The fall of Zhongcheng happened to be at the time of twenty years."

Gao Xun's words had magical power. Chen Ning'an was a little surprised. Could it be that the road was really that powerful?

"Let me... tell you my fortune."

Chen Ning'an dipped his fingertips in tea, and the road was divided into Gen, Qian, and Kun.

The stone road represents the Gen Gua, and the wide road represents the Qian Gua.

As for the path mentioned by Gao Xun, Kun Gua is the most suitable.

Kun is on top and the time is You, which is the Dui hexagram. The total number is 18. The upper line is moving, which is the Shan Ze Sun hexagram of Di Ze Lin.

"Oh?"

Chen Ning'an looked at the hexagram. The movement of Kun earth represents the end of the road. The mountains and lakes are connected, and Dui is seen at the end?
This Dui is very interesting, and the mutual hexagram also has the image of land mines and repetition.

The tea is condensed but not dispersed, and the light fragrance overflows. The Lin hexagram is the beginning, and the Sun hexagram loses the upper to benefit the lower, and it ends in good luck...

"What do you need me to do?"

Chen Ning'an's eyes were focused and he had already made a decision.

This hand must be inserted.

Based on this hexagram, he decided to go.

"Master, you'd better also enter the prison, find the guide, and then enter that road!"

Gao Xun said: "Everyone who has set out on the journey has gained unexpected benefits after returning!"

"For example?" Chen Ning'an watched the tea fade away.

"King Anjiang!"

These four words shocked Chen Ning'an.

“Did His Holiness Anjiang enter that path?”

"Yes, after he entered, he immediately became a guide. His inner strength came from this. We later tried to find the source of his inner strength, the Light Realm, but failed in the end."

This sentence immediately aroused Chen Ning'an's interest.

"Let's go to the prison now."

He didn't want to wait any longer and had to find the pass directly. Any delay would lead to accidents.

"Wait first!"

Qin Wen shouted, "Something is waiting for us outside!"

He spoke too slowly and Chen Ning'an had already opened the door.

He also saw things beyond the material world.

It was a figure with its stomach cut open, blocking out a large amount of light, so that only a misty figure could be seen.

This is not a human being, it's an out-of-control creature.

Chen Ning'an saw it clearly at a glance, but he reacted quickly and raised his hand to attack.

"Boom!"

The brutal force pushed back the out-of-control object and silenced it.

Strictly speaking, the nature of out-of-control objects and out-of-control levels is the same.

Just like a person and the things that a person can use.

But when an out-of-control object faces an out-of-control level, it has no ability to fight back.

Chen Ning'an took a step forward and grasped it.

He exerted force with his fingers, and the thing began to shrink in his hand.

How can shrinking alone be enough?
Chen Ningan bared his fangs: "The body just hasn't eaten for a few days."

His soul had eaten a lot of S-level monster flesh and was still very deficient.

Gao Xun and Qin Wen stared with their eyes wide open, watching what was almost at the end of its rope being destroyed bit by bit...without any power to resist!
