Yin Yang Lantern Man

Chapter 270 Taiyin Mountain

"Who is that person?"

Chen Ning'an asked with interest. If it was true as Ying Gou said, then he would really like to get to know him.

Everyone is lonely in this world, but some people are lucky enough to find like-minded friends.

You can call him...fellow Taoist.

So far, Chen Ning'an has not met any fellow Taoist. Qin Di might be a possibility, but he doesn't know much about Qin Di and cannot be sure.

"Perhaps you have heard of his deeds."

Ying Gu opened and closed his lips: "He was once the most powerful night watchman."

It's him?

Chen Ning'an curled his lips and said, "That reckless man, the night watchman who was beaten to death?"

He was disdainful. Just like this, is it worthy of being called the strongest?
"In fact, there are secrets in it."

Ying Gu sighed: "That man's surname was also Chen. After that incident, the Emperor of Qin was furious and killed many officials with the surname Chen."

"tell me the story."

Chen Ning'an has returned to Princess Wu's residence to pack up her things.

He wanted to go to Galasha to see the so-called fireworks. It must be said that Wan Qing succeeded in trapping him at the cost of his life.

Look at it from another perspective: there is no such thing as a free lunch, and you can't get fireworks for free; everything is destined.

"That man's name is Chen Shu. He was unremarkable before he picked up the lantern. He was just an ordinary person struggling to survive."

"But everything changed when he started to carry lanterns. From the beginning, he was appreciated by the master of a lantern realm. He obtained treasures and opportunities. Soon, after a few lantern-carrying events, he became a guide."

Ying Gou recounted history and found the records in the book particularly unbelievable.

Novels aren't written that way.

"After becoming the guide, he didn't know what he gained. He actually killed the territory master and was no longer under his control. According to him, the territory master had always wanted his body."

"And then, he broke all the way into the fear of the dark, lost control, and then the nightmare that followed. He was better than many of the older generation of Night's Watch!"

"Everything belongs to him. The New Qin is even willing to gather resources for his breakthrough. He originally had a very good relationship with the previous generation of Emperor Qin."

"But no one knows what happened in the end. The Qin Emperor was furious, and the two went their separate ways. In the end, he was defeated by the Night's Watch and was beaten to death."

"Still stupid."

Chen Ningan sneered. If it were him, there would never be a day when he would be beaten up by the Lantern Men. He would set up a trap and kill all the Lantern Men directly.

This is the difference between him and the natives of this world.

The things were packed up quickly, and Chen Ningan took a breath slowly. The sky outside was still clear and cloudless.

Thousands of miles away, there is a dark mass of clouds.

"This deity, I want to make that destiny."

They headed to the Imperial Capital Airport. The plane was very different. There was actually a man holding a lantern on it.

But when you think about it this way, the higher you go, the more integrated the lantern world becomes. If there are no lantern people on the plane to ensure safety, Xin Qin will no longer be called Xin Qin.

Before leaving, he asked Ying Qiongyu for some information, among which Ying Gao was mentioned.

"How's the kid?"

Over there, Ying Qiongyu put down what he was holding: "Under our guidance, Ying Gao has caught up with children of the same age and is doing very well in school."

"That's good. You continue to cultivate it. When the time is right, you can properly cultivate the killing intention."

He said some more precautions on the phone. On the other side, Ying Qiongyu asked him, "Ying Gao wants to talk to you."

He believed that this was a necessary way to improve the relationship between the two, so Chen Ning'an nodded and agreed.

"Try to be quick. I'm in a hurry."

"Hey?"

A childish voice soon came from the other side.

"Uncle Chen Ning'an, have you eaten?"

What a simple greeting. Children don’t understand much and usually learn from adults.

They remember the first question the adults ask, and then learn to do the same when they make the phone calls themselves.

"Ate."

Chen Ning'an stopped and his eyes involuntarily looked at the calendar.

The children's festival is coming soon.

Ying Gao continued to speak on the other end of the phone: "Uncle, can you come and have dinner together tomorrow?"

He suppressed his emotions implicitly, but he had a purpose, and his thoughts were completely understood by Chen Ning'an.

"No."

He refused. Over there, the breathing became a little heavier, and then there was silence.

"Ying Gao, don't forget how you lived."

Chen Ning'an said in a cold tone: "You must remember why I brought you with me in the first place. Don't forget the pain of the past just because you have had a few good days with Ying Qiongyu."

At this time, the child was most vulnerable. Instead of receiving comfort from Chen Ning'an, he was scolded.

He held the receiver tightly on the other end of the phone and turned to look at Ying Qiongyu.

Hoping for some comfort.

Being stared at by such eyes, Ying Qiongyu's heart softened. Since getting along with Ying Gao, he liked this child who never cried, made a fuss or caused trouble, and was very considerate.

"Actually, Brother Ning An...

As soon as he said this, he heard a scolding over the phone!

"Ying Qiongyu, shut up."

Chen Ning'an's expression was icy. "Don't forget that there are still many children suffering. Others can relax, but he can't."

Ying Gao is Chen Ning'an's inherent temperament, and he shoulders a very important responsibility.

"Ying Gao, you should understand what kind of responsibility you have and be prepared for that day to come."

After hanging up the phone, Ying Gao stared at the microphone blankly, and many of his expectations in his heart vanished.

He is where he is today thanks to Chen Ning'an, so he is very attached to this uncle whom he has only met a few times.

He had many fantasies, but today, all of them were shattered.

There seemed to be the sounds of other children outside the window, playing, laughing, and screaming.

"Don't blame your Uncle Ning An. He is responsible for things you don't know about."

Ying Qiongyu rarely used a gentle tone. After all, he was still a child.

Although, he was once cruel and ruthless and killed many people.

"It's okay, Father."

Ying Gao acknowledged the Eighth Prince as his father to the outside world and always called him that.

"Uncle is right. I have been burdened with a lot of things, and I have indeed forgotten the hardships I suffered in the past."

He returned the phone with a serious look on his face: "Others can play, but I can't. My uncle said that I have to do that in the future."

He raised his head and said to the Eighth Prince, "Father, let's... go and slaughter a few sheep."

Ying Qiongyu closed his eyes and then opened them, looking at the child's seemingly innocent eyes, and for some reason he shuddered.

Is Chen Ningan really so accurate in judging people?

The plane roared in the sky. Ying Gou used his own special method to find Galasha's information.

"Galasha was a relatively backward country before Fourteenth Sister married there. Its national strength was weak and it often clashed with neighboring countries."

Because the country is not very big, resources are scarce. It does not produce minerals such as oil, nor does it rely on food exports. Generally speaking, Galasha's existence is thanks to the three companies in the country.

One is a farm tool manufacturer, one is a cutting-edge photolithography machine, and the last one is a poisonous three-mouthed one.

It's ridiculous that a country has to rely on these to survive.

However, in reality, there are still many small countries surviving in the cracks.

After Galasha got the princess of New Qin, New Qin provided weapons, ammunition, and technology, which finally made the country better. The country even surpassed its neighbors in strength and prospered!
but……

Such a country that was like the first day of the sun suddenly collapsed overnight. "It should be related to that mountain. My people went to investigate and finally got some things. They will come to greet you after you get off the plane. Mr. Chen can take a look."

Ying Gou described the mountain.

"It is a mountain that cannot be climbed. Its height, width, and breadth have no limits."

"No one has managed to determine the exact size of the mountain, and all that has been recorded in history over the years are rumors."

"Some say that the mountain helps us resist the flood in the myth."

"Some people say that the real world is behind that mountain. We are not real humans. In fact, we are almost the same as pseudo-humans, but the manifestation is different."

"Some people also say that the mountain is filled with unimaginable creatures, like a grave, and we are just bacteria growing around it."

The information Ying Gou found out was getting more and more outrageous. He was really just guessing at the mountain.

"What's the name of that mountain?"

Chen Ning'an suddenly spoke, stopping Ying Gou from speaking.

If I were to go on, there would be too many legends. Any sentence made up by a night watchman would become a legend after being sung.

Or they discovered some relics and made random guesses based on the fragments of information found on them, which are also stories.

"That mountain has many names, some are called Guanshan, some are called Qianshan, some are called Eshan, Wangshan, Xiangshan, etc."

"But the name that is most popular among everyone is "Taiyin Mountain."

"Taiyin Mountain?"

Chen Ning'an's mind moved: "Why did you choose this name?"

"It is said that it was the first stele found on the mountain, which is similar to the intermediate state between oracle bone script and bronze script. After being deciphered, it was called Taiyin."

Ying Gu's eyes lit up slightly: "Mr. Chen, do you know the origin of this Taiyin Mountain?"

"do not know."

Chen Ning'an turned his head and looked at the scenery outside the window.

Airplanes fly high, but they have limitations and lock people in a box, which is very uncomfortable.

He still likes the feeling of flying in the air and being free.

Mainly because I don’t know the destination.

On the way, they saw an aerial refueling, and then the plane went directly to the border.

"Dingcheng is next to it."

Ying Gou pointed downwards and saw a huge city in the desert. Because of the mountains and rivers, it looked like a huge tripod.

Dingcheng got its name from this.

"Stab!"

Something flew up from Dingcheng. Chen Ningan raised his fingertips and then put them down.

The lantern bearer on the plane took action, and the object that was flying up finally lost its strength and fell down.

If you look closely, you can see that it is a bone.

It fits the characteristics of a city planned by short-lived people.

He turned his head away and the plane with only two people on board finally landed at the border.

"We can't go any further."

The man holding the lantern in the cockpit came over to apologize to them: "If we continue, we will crash into that mountain and we will never be able to fly again."

Seeing Ying Gou's unhappy expression, he hurriedly said, "But we will wait here for the Fourth Prince. If you don't speak, we will not leave even if we die."

"Let's go, there's no time to waste."

Chen Ning'an took a step and a brick on the ground flew up.

"set foot on."

He said to Ying Gu, "You are too slow. Follow me. I want to see how rare the fireworks are."

What a novel way to travel.

Ying Gou stepped on the stone bricks, and the next second, he felt the space around him rapidly retreating!

This is definitely faster than the speed of sound!
But he did not feel any wind pressure or sonic boom, as if he was standing in the space elevator that Xin Qin was developing.

too fast.

Below their feet, the appearance of Galasha also appeared before their eyes.

There are tall buildings and busy streets, and everything seems normal.

Apart from the scrapped cars, vehicles, etc. all over the streets, it seemed as if there had been no disaster.

It seems that they died suddenly. What happened?
"Look over there."

Chen Ning'an pointed and saw a woman standing on the top of a building in a city in Galasha.

The woman's hands were pierced with gilded instruments, and her feet were also pierced with gilded instruments, looking up at them.

"I feel... a little dizzy."

Ying Gou held his forehead with his hand, his consciousness became blurred, and he was about to fall off the sky.

"You beast, you dare to attack me?"

Chen Ning'an raised his hand and pointed, and the sky and the earth appeared suddenly.

"Crack!"

The entire high-rise building collapsed.

He stopped and drifted forward by inertia, not intending to move forward.

"It just so happens that my earth flower hasn't recovered yet, so you can fill my stomach."

He disappeared and reappeared in front of the woman.

"Stand still, I can make your pain less severe."

He stretched out his hand, ready to grasp the woman's head.

This is a nightmare-level existence.

Galasha collapsed and escaped after having no restrictions.

There was a blue light shining from the opponent's body. Of course, he would not surrender as Chen Ning'an said, so he launched an attack.

In just a moment, the whole world began to blur. The nightmare distorted the reality, and in fact, there was no distinction between you and me.

"I told you not to move!"

In the confusion, a hand reached out and grabbed the woman's head tightly.

The hands were very big and directly covered half of the head with a little force.

"Snapped!"

The head exploded, but the nightmare would not die, so a lead flower bloomed directly.

It took on everything from the woman, then gathered itself together. Finally, Chen Ning'an stood there and returned to the sky as if nothing had happened.

"What's wrong with me?"

Ying Gou stood up and found that he was still moving at high speed.

"You almost died just now."

Chen Ning'an didn't say much, a field of flowers was glowing above his head.

It recovered slightly, speeding up the process of the ground flower's autonomous recovery.

He wanted more nightmares.

But now, Chen Ning'an's eyes were all on the light realm, he was looking for the so-called "fire trees and silver flowers".

As for that mountain...

There was fog in the lantern world, and they should be arriving soon. He felt that the fog ahead looked even deeper.

"Taiyin Mountain..."

He murmured to himself, is it the mountain he thought it was?
I hope so. Otherwise, there is no reason to explain these things on my body, and neither does Tianzun.
