Yin Yang Lantern Man

Chapter 287: Ren Xie, you have no right to have anything to do with me
Tu Ming nodded quickly and found himself half asleep and half awake in bed.

The feeling of ecstasy was gone, and he felt like he had fallen from heaven into hell, with uncontrollable fatigue all over his body.

too tired.

It was so heavy, his limbs and body seemed to weigh a thousand pounds, and he was gasping for breath even when he got up.

"No, I just started drawing talismans and I'm not used to it yet."

He propped himself up. Outside, Tu's mother heard the noise and hurried in.

"Son, what's wrong with you?"

She was worried: "Are you feeling uncomfortable somewhere?"

"Maybe I have a cold."

Tu Ming explained it this way. He didn’t dare say that his energy and blood were drained away when he was drawing the talisman.

Grandpa Fu Zheng can draw lantern symbols at such an old age. He is young and energetic, so he should be able to draw better.

“I just haven’t gotten used to it yet.”

Tu Ming comforted himself in this way and dragged his body to Fu Zheng's residence to draw today's lantern talisman.

"The bright light in the heart is illuminated by the qi and blood."

The sound appeared and the lights all took shape at once.

"thump."

Tu Ming fell headfirst to the ground.

"You came."

Tu Ming found that his body became lighter and he seemed to be about to fly out.

"Hey, why am I here during the day?"

He was surprised, but the man shook his head and said, "You didn't come here during the day. It's already night."

This conversation lasted a little longer, and Tu Ming heard some sound.

"Hulua, clatter," as if an iron chain was dragging on the ground.

"Give me a favor and come back later."

The figure was talking behind him. Tu Ming wanted to turn around to see, but found that he couldn't turn his head.

"Let's talk about Fu Zheng."

The figure said with his hands behind his back under the moonlight.

Tu Ming already had experience and knew that time was running out, so he hurriedly said:

"Fu Zheng is a position that every village-level gathering place must have. Fu Zheng can draw light symbols to ensure the safety of every place."

"Fu Zheng is passed down from generation to generation. I heard from Grandpa Fu Zheng that the Fu Zheng in the village is more powerful than him, and the Fu Zheng in the county is even more powerful!"

"Ah."

The figure seemed to be thinking: "Do you know that there is a price for drawing talismans?"

Their conversation today seemed to be very long.

Tu Ming shook his head, feeling himself becoming more and more drifting: "I don't know."

"To draw talismans, you either need to have cultivation or a medium. If you don't have either, you will overdraw your own life when you draw the talisman."

"It seems that Lao Fu Zheng didn't tell you this. Now... forget it. Wait until you wake up and look at the position under my feet. Then decide for yourself whether to eat it or not."

eat?
Tu Ming was very confused. He didn't understand this sentence. The next second, Tu Ming felt his body sinking.

It seemed as if something was dragging him towards hell. He panicked and didn't want to go down, but the pulling force was getting stronger and stronger.

"no no!"

He struggled frantically, but to no avail, and finally everything went dark before his eyes.

Tu Ming felt like he was trapped inside something and couldn't move.

But he could hear the sound.

"Live, live!"

A loud shout, this voice...Oh, it's Wang Jishi, Doctor Wang's voice.

Why is there Doctor Wang's voice? Is anyone sick?
"Thank God, my son! My son!"

The other voice had a crying tone, and Tu Ming recognized it as his mother's voice.

Who bullied your mother?

I am Tu Fu Zheng, who dares to bully his mother!
Tu Ming was furious, and he didn't know where he got the strength from, but he suddenly opened his eyes.

But the next second, he felt extremely weak and powerless. He was very thirsty and wanted to drink water.

He was very hungry and wanted to eat meat, lots of meat.

"Wake up, wake up!"

There were also other voices, it seemed to be the head of the village. Tu Ming then realized that he was lying on the bed and Doctor Wang was treating him.

His mother was kneeling on the ground, kowtowing to Doctor Wang.

"Grandma."

He shouted, "What's wrong with me?"

"What's wrong? What's wrong?"

The head of the village looked at him and said, "Did you not learn it? Why did you fall down right after drawing the talisman? If I hadn't come earlier, you would have died!"

The head of the village rebuked him: "Doctor Wang said that if you were half an incense stick late, even the gods would not be able to save you!"

"How come? It's definitely not my problem."

Tu Ming panicked, but he was still unwilling to admit that he had not learned how to draw lantern talismans.

"correct!"

Suddenly, he remembered something. The person in the dream told him to go to his feet and eat. What should he eat?
He stood up forcefully: "Make way."

"Son, take a rest." Mother Tu looked distressed: "You have been in a coma for a few days. It will be difficult for you to get out of bed now."

"I know my own business, Mom, please trust me."

Tu Ming insisted on standing up, and saw that everyone was surrounding him again and seemed to want to stop him.

"Nonsense, you are just going to die!" Doctor Wang scolded him, "Why don't you lie down and rest? You need at least half a month before you can move around."

"No need, I'm Fu Zheng! Don't stop me!"

Tu Ming persisted and struggled to shake them off.

"It's still Fu Zheng." A woman's voice sounded in the room. Yes, it was the neighbor next door.

"I have only learned half of it. If I had waited for you, there would be no lantern talismans these days. I don't know how many people would have died. The village head would have gone to the county to invite a new talisman master."

With this voice, Tu Ming felt like he was struck by lightning!
How could this happen? Does this mean he is not Fu Zheng?

Without Fu Zheng, there would be no meat, no delicious millet, and no new quilt. My mother and I would continue to suffer.

You have to go on patrol every once in a while and you could die at any time.

"No! I am Fu Zheng!"

He ran to the yard, and in his dream, the figure was standing there, talking to him.

The place where the man was standing was originally a piece of yellow earth, but today, Tu Ming discovered a grass growing on the ground.

This grass is very strange. It looks like a human hand and is completely black.

"Son."

Tu Mu ran out and the others packed up their things and left.

Now that everyone is awake, there is no need to look any further, as they still have to curry favor with the new Fu Zheng.

Tu Ming pretended to be deaf and kept his eyes fixed on the grass.

This grass... this grass... is evil!

He could clearly sense the evil aura on the grass. No wonder the man in his dream asked him to think about it.

If a person eats evil spirits, he will turn into a half-evil monster, neither human nor ghost!

"Son, you're not crazy too, are you?"

Tu's mother cried, "You are all I have. If you go crazy, how can I live?"

Grandma's voice touched Tu Ming's heart.

What does it matter if he is contaminated by evil spirits? As long as his mother lives a good life, he will be satisfied.

And there is that new Fu Zheng who actually took his place. He wants to use his actions to tell the head of the village and everyone in the hills who the real Fu Zheng is!
Tu Ming grabbed the grass and stuffed it directly into his mouth.

At this moment, the sky before his eyes darkened with haze, and the world was covered with a layer of blood.

He blinked his eyes and saw a pair of feet in front of him. He raised his head and saw a person appeared in front of Tu Ming.

The appearance is pale and decent, but the eyes are so uncomfortable. It is the figure in the dream!

He could actually see in the daytime.

"Congratulations, you have seen the real world."

Chen Ningan smiled: "Now, go and get everything back."

The figure's words were ordinary, but they gave rise to endless hostility in Tu Ming's heart.

"I'm going to kill him!"

As the contents of his stomach were absorbed, Tu Ming found that the strength in his body was recovering and the heavy feeling was thrown away.

He seemed to be flying and light in a dream.

I just feel an itch in my neck.

Tu Ming scratched his head, then strode towards Grandpa Fu Zheng's residence.

The new Fu Zheng must also live there, all Fu Zhengs live there.

At this time, in Fu Zheng's residence, the new arrival Fu Zheng was quietly making the bed and tidying up the room.

What is rare is that he does not look like an old man, but a young man.

He was wearing a snow-white gown and his appearance was not as rough as the ones in Xiaoshan. Instead, he looked gentle and elegant.

"Is Lord Fu Zheng here?"

Li was knocking on the door outside, keeping himself in a low position.

It is said that this is Fu Zheng from the county, who is only here temporarily and is not comparable to a half-baked person like Tu Ming.

"What's the matter, head of the village?"

Zhu Hengrui asked him calmly: "But is the child awake?"

"Yes, Master Fu Zheng, I will come to see you right after I go and see it."

"Well, is there anything wrong with him?"

Zhu Hengrui asked: "For example, some evil characteristics appear, or something is forgotten?"

"That's not the case." The village head recalled: "He just looked very weak."

"Weakness is right. I used my own blood and energy to draw the lantern talisman. I'm lucky not to die."

Zhu Hengrui withdrew his gaze, with doubt in his eyes.

Lao Fu who lived in the hills reported that a terrible evil spirit had appeared. He pretended to be crazy and stupid to escape with his life, and then reported it to the county.

He had just come to investigate, and had been prepared to see that everyone in the hill and even in the lookout tower was dead, but he never expected that only one person named Li Dan died.

The old man was just saying that the thing might be pestering his disciple Tu Ming, so he paid special attention to it. Now it seems that everything is normal.

Could it really be just an evil spirit passing by?

"Mr. Lizheng, take the lantern talisman and go back."

Zhu Hengrui held the pen in one hand and drew a lantern symbol in a few breaths: "I don't need to disturb you for the time being."

"Thank you, Master Fu Zheng!"

Seeing Zhu Hengrui so relaxed, the village head showed more awe in his eyes and stretched out his hands to take it.

After he left, Zhu Hengrui took out a talisman made of black paper from his arms and rubbed it over his eyes.

He walked around the yard, observing every spot.

"Ok?"

Suddenly, Zhu Hengrui looked outside and saw a faint black gas moving towards him.

"Human evil?"

He frowned, and saw that the man was actually a young man.

Tea is bright.

"Get out of here!"

Tu Ming clenched his fists and said, "I am the Fu Zheng of Xiaoshan. You are an outsider. I advise you to know yourself!"

Zhu Hengrui narrowed his eyes slightly: "Tu Ming? Didn't you just wake up from a coma? How do you have the energy to come to me alone?"

A person?

Tu Ming turned his head and looked beside him. Chen Ning'an was quietly observing Tu Ming.

Didn’t this newcomer Fu Zheng see the people around him?
He looked again and saw that Zhu Hengrui was indeed only looking at him.

"He can't see me."

Chen Ningan said quietly: "Just do whatever you want."

He was a little bored. He let Lao Fu Zheng go, thinking that a big fish would come, but it turned out to be just a small fish.

In his eyes, the fluctuations of the new Fu Zheng were at best at the level of a quasi-guide.

too weak.

Chen Ning'an turned and left, but Tu Ming did not leave.

He stepped forward and threatened: "This is my territory. I'll give you three days to get out. If you don't, don't blame me for being rude."

After saying these harsh words, Tu Ming left. He planned to give the other party three days.

However, that night, Tu Ming dreamed that he was in that yard again.

Is this a dream?

He was a little confused because the world was bloody and he seemed to have walked into the yard.

The man sat in the yard, where a stone table had appeared without him noticing.

"teacher."

Tu Ming knelt down respectfully and saluted: "Thank you, teacher, for teaching me how to draw talismans."

This was his action after careful consideration. In any case, it was the teacher who helped him.

"teacher?"

The figure repeated these two words and suddenly laughed.

"Haha, hahaha!"

"You call me teacher?"

At this moment, Tu Ming saw the moon in the sky turning blood red, and the whole world was covered with a layer of blood.

He was horrified to find that he was supporting himself on the ground with four hands, and fingers had grown out of the tip of each finger, and five fingers continued to grow from the fingertips.

No, six fingers.

Wait, how did he see it? How could he look down and see the moon and his own fingers?

"Haha, I haven't heard a joke in a long time."

Chen Ning'an lowered his hands from his head and a long sword flashed by his side.

All the extra arms, fingers, and eyes on Tu Ming's body were dug out, leaving only the pair on his face.

"You are not qualified to be my student. You can't even look me in the eye."

Chen Ningan turned around and said, "The price of establishing a relationship with me is not something you can accept right now, so take your time."

Chen Ningan said as usual: "You should kill that man today. You should know that if you don't kill him, he will come to kill you."

He pointed to the yard and saw Xin Fu, dressed in a snow-white robe, walking slowly towards him under the scarlet moonlight.

"Tu Ming, do you know that you are no longer a human being?"

Zhu Hengrui said quietly: "I didn't expect you to become like this. I wanted to let you go for your mother's sake, but your mumbling just now made me unable to sit idly by."

Zhu Hengrui looked at the young man in front of him, who was emitting black energy and had obviously turned into a dark evil.

I must take action when he is young and has just become evil and weak, otherwise I may not be able to defeat him when he grows up.

"I'm not dreaming?"

Tu Ming was confused and he began to lose the ability to distinguish between reality and dreams.

Did I come here today to meet that figure?
Wait! Didn't those things really happen to him just now?

"How do you know you're not dreaming?"

Chen Ningan smiled and said to him, "Wake up."

Awake?
Tu Ming suddenly opened his eyes. The moon was no longer so blood red, but it was still dirty and no longer bright.

He quickly got up and went out, just in time to see the new Fu Zheng Zhu Hengrui coming.

"Tu Ming, do you know that you are no longer a human being?"

Exactly the same words!
