Yin Yang Lantern Man

Chapter 290: First meeting, I am Chen Ningan
An evil spirit was slowly moving through the woods.

In the desolate wilderness, where few people go, a man, emitting an ominous aura, slowly returned to the hill.

He was like a gust of wind or a wisp of fog, covering this village that seemed peaceful but was actually filled with unrest and despair.

"This is today's lantern charm."

Tu Ming handed over a pitch-black talisman. The original yellow paper had been stained black by an unknown substance, and the blood-colored lines on it looked ominous.

The head of the village took it tremblingly. The nails on his hands grew twisted and large cracks appeared on his palms.

You can see the bones inside.

This is caused by contact with the light symbols. The light symbols are changing every day, becoming more and more strange.

Tu Mingyan didn't show any surprise. He thought this was normal and no different from before.

"Mr. Lizheng, what are we having for dinner today?"

Tu Ming raised his head. There was a big bump on his neck and his head was smaller than his neck.

At this moment, the head on the big bag stared at the director and spoke, with a hint of inquiry and... desire in its words.

"Today... today we're eating pork."

The village head swallowed his saliva and said: "It's at the dead Li Dan's house. You can go and get it yourself."

"I see."

Tu Ming nodded and left.

There was still a fat pig left in Lidan's house, but because Lidan died and his mother was mentally ill, there was no way to feed the pig anymore.

The villagers in the hills were very united. They were unwilling to take advantage of others' misfortune to take the pig away, so the pig naturally became Tu Ming's food.

"Pig~Pig~"

Tu Ming hummed a song and walked towards Li Dan's house holding a black oil-paper umbrella.

The yard of this family was originally quite nice, with a wooden fence and a stone foundation. Lidan's family used to have a hunter, so they were quite wealthy.

Unfortunately, it gradually declined and only this house remained.

Now that Lidan is dead, their family has no descendants.

"Ugh……"

Tu Ming sighed, life is so unpredictable and changeable, if he hadn't done Fu Zheng, it would have been the same, right?

It’s great to be Fu Zheng. His decision to learn from Grandpa Fu Zheng was the right one!

"Hey, Aunt Lidan, why are you in the pigpen?"

There is a pigsty in the yard. In fact, many people build their houses like this, so that even if there are evil spirits, there is a chance that they will be attracted by the livestock, thus giving people time to escape.

Tu Ming scratched his head in confusion. Li Dan's mother looked at him, hummed a few words, and then closed her eyes and continued to sleep.

Where are the pigs?

He pushed open the door and entered the room, and saw a big fat white pig lying on the bed.

"Hey! Lidan's family has raised pigs that have grown to the bed."

Tu Ming walked forward and his stomach began to shake wildly.

very hungry.

He looked at the big fat pig and thought, why not take a bite first?

Eat something first. There’s so much anyway. Just leave some for grandma. She draws talismans every day and she’s so hungry.

"Ah! Ah!"

The pig made human sounds, it was really a spirit. Li Dan acted quickly, and the pig struggled for a while and then stopped moving.

Half a day later, he brought the remaining half of the pig back home, dragging his round belly.

"Mom, open the door, Ming'er will be back soon."

Tu Ming couldn't knock on the door, and thought that maybe his mother had gone to the mountains to work, so he left half a pig in the yard.

"When my mother sees this, she will definitely be surprised."

He thought happily that pork was usually taken to towns and villages to be sold in order to supplement family income, and few people were willing to keep it for themselves to eat.

After Tu Ming left, the door of his house slowly opened from the inside.

Tu Ming's mother wiped her tears. Nothing made her more heartbroken than seeing her child being infected by evil spirits.

She had endured the death of her husband, and now she had to endure the departure of her child.

"Am I a woman who will bring bad luck to her husband and children?"

As she thought about this, her eyes fell on the half-pig cage in the yard.

"what!"

The shrill scream tore the tranquility of Xiaosanli!
An hour later, her yard was full of villagers from the hill.

"Sister Tu, this child is of no use."

"Sister, you are so pitiful."

"Xiao Tu was such a good child, how could he become like this? Alas..."

"Speaking of which, the Lidan family is also pitiful, but, but..."

The villagers looked at the half pig on the ground. It was clearly half a...

They looked at the body that was cut in half, some felt nauseous, some lamented.

"Why don't we run away to Wangfeng Township? It's better than waiting to die here."

People are panicking. Tu Ming has already started to produce phlegm and flesh. It has only been a few days. Who knows what he will look like in a few days.

"Mr. Lizheng, what do you think?"

Someone asked the village head standing at the gate of the yard. He looked gloomy and stared at the field without saying a word.
"Do you think we can still leave?"

He raised his hand, and eyes grew out of the gap in his hand, with each eyelash beautiful and black.

He...was also contaminated.

"Li Zheng!"

The villagers were terrified, especially Tu Ming's mother, whose shoulders began to tremble like a sieve.

After Tu Ming was polluted, she became close to Li and knew the inside story, which was like having someone to rely on.

But now, the village head has also been polluted.

Tu Ming's mother felt as if she had fallen into an endless abyss in an instant, with no one to rely on, and the villagers around her were also in great danger.

"It's very foggy today."

At this moment, a young man slowly walked in from outside the yard. Tu Ming was carrying him on his back. He had an unusually huge belly and neck and grinned at everyone.

"Hey, why are you all gathered here? Do you want to be pigs?"

As soon as they said this, everyone felt as if their souls had fallen into an ice cellar. They found that the hill had been shrouded in fog without them knowing when.

It was clearly noon, but the fog kept approaching, and the sunlight was scattered into a vast expanse of white.

It's too foggy.

Tu Ming's figure seemed extremely huge in the fog, and a lantern talisman emitting a dark light was ignited.

"Dear neighbors, I'm going to introduce someone to you next!"

He couldn't see his face clearly, but his voice was extremely fanatical:
"This is my real teacher...you will definitely like him!"

"Hiss, it hurts, it hurts..."

Tu Ming suddenly rolled in the fog, and a big lump suddenly appeared on the swollen part of his neck.

Everyone subconsciously huddled together, looking at the shadow. The big bag was pierced by something, and a fleshy ball with a stem grew out of it.

Many villagers vomited on the ground, and the sour smell only intensified everyone's fear.

In the thick fog, another figure slowly gathered.

"I told you not to get so close to me."

A man walked over, and all the fog dissipated from his side, revealing a figure that was completely different from that of an ordinary person.

"Boom!"

That was the sound of a human drum, and the next second there was a sudden loud breaking sound!
The human drum...seems to be broken!
A pale young man with a tall figure and loose hair.

His appearance is outstanding, but no one will focus on his appearance.

Everyone subconsciously saw those eyes.

Endless suffering, suppressed desire, the blood in it seemed to tear everything apart! As they watched, their bodies involuntarily changed.

"sad."

Chen Ning'an sighed and covered his eyes with golden flower luster, otherwise these villagers would surely change uncontrollably.

Beside him, Tu Ming stared at the long neck, the head on it dropped automatically to Chen Ning'an's body, not daring to look down at him.

"It's our first meeting, I hope I didn't scare you all."

Chen Ning'an smiled and tried his best to give these people a good impression.

"You... what are you!"

The village chief clenched his fists tightly, trying to suppress his increasingly confused consciousness with the pain from the wound on his palms.

He has been through a lot in his life, yet he can still speak calmly at this moment.

"Mr. Lizheng, I'm afraid it's inappropriate to address a guest like that?"

Chen Ningan smiled, trying to make himself look cheerful: "Let me introduce myself. I am a practitioner from the north, and also a disciple of Tianzun."

"Evil!"

Fierce! Tu Ming's mother yelled, "It's you! It's you who killed my son!"

She strode towards Chen Ningan. Her anger as a mother broke through her fear. She wanted to protect her child!
"Auntie Tuming, you're crazy!"

The head of the village reached out to pull her, but the mother had exerted such great strength that he could not pull her away.

She was aggressive and took the initiative to approach Chen Ningan.

"Snapped!"

There was a crisp slap, and Chen Ning'an didn't move his head, just looked at her quietly.

"You're the only one who dares to slap me."

The golden light on his face was temporarily dissipated, as the golden light was very weak to begin with.

Chen Ning'an still had a smile on her face. "I understand your emotions as a mother, but you have to pay a price for this."

Tu Ming's mother's palms began to turn black, and the pollution spread along her palms. Her whole body became uncharacteristically shriveled.

It looked as if the nutrients had been drained away by the palm, which kept growing bigger and thicker until it turned into a meat patty.

"Thank you, mother, for your hospitality."

Chen Ning'an smiled at Tu Ming and turned into an evil spirit, no longer a human being.

He can now replenish himself freely.

The white mist turned scarlet, and the villagers in the hills were terrified. Some vomited until nothing was left, and some turned around and wanted to run!
Tu Ming clapped his hands and danced like a child singing a nursery rhyme, "That's great, that's great, my mother is the same as me now!"

No one in the hill could accept this approach.

“I’m really just a guest.”

Chen Ningan wiped the corners of his mouth with a white tissue and said to them with a smile: "Don't panic, just live your normal life."

This time, Chen Ning'an really just planned to meet with everyone. He hadn't spoken to anyone for a long time.

The fog was dissipating, and so was he.

At night, still under the windowsill, the moonlight is bright and crazy.

"Tu Ming, do you know what you did wrong?"

Chen Ning'an looked at him. The child was foolishly admiring the flowers growing on the ground.

Tu Ming shook his head. He didn’t know what mistake he had made.

"You are wrong. You ate the pig."

Chen Ning'an didn't say it clearly: "This world is the real world. The light in you will no longer be pure, and you will lose the possibility of promotion."

Chen Ning'an sighed. Even though he had told Tu Ming the consequences early on, the child still insisted on his own way.

"what?"

Tu Ming looked at Chen Ning'an with both heads, not understanding what he was saying.

"Sure enough, not everyone can be like me."

Chen Ningan shook his head: "It's getting light, people from Gushan County will come tomorrow, you should be prepared."

His figure disappeared, and Tu Ming woke up.

"Gushan County?"

He thought about it and subconsciously shouted: "Mom, what are we eating today?"

no respond.

He felt something was amiss, but he didn't pay attention to it and went to draw today's lantern talisman first.

He must draw the lantern talisman. If he can draw the lantern talisman, he is a good talisman. If he cannot draw the lantern talisman, he is useless. He wants to let his mother live a good life.

At this time, at the Lookout Pavilion three miles away, a group of people stopped to rest.

"Everyone must be careful when you go there!"

Bei Huazhu, the chief of the Qing'an Division, said, "Our mission is to find Mr. Zhu's body. Don't worry about anything else."

"Si Zheng, you are too timid."

A woman in the team sneered, "How can we survive in that small mountain? What kind of monsters can we encounter?"

"With the four hall masters of the Qing'an Division all out, what evil spirit can't be defeated?"

She was very confident. There were four hall masters in the Qing'an Division of Gushan County, and she was one of them.

Since he was born, he has never been defeated by any evil spirit.

Xu Muwan, don't be too arrogant.

Bei Huazhui looked unhappy. He had said it many times along the way, but Xu Muwan still didn't listen.

"Master Zhu was a Dark Evil-level being, but he died in such an unclear way."

"Even if we are at the same level, there is a high chance that something could go wrong."

"hehe."

Xu Muwan didn't say anything, and her meaning was very clear: she didn't believe it.

"Pride will get you killed."

Bei Huazhui warned again: "Don't let your previous victories blind you."

"Master Si Zheng, I am arrogant, but I am not stupid."

Xu Muwan chuckled: "I'm not a kid anymore, I won't do anything that I know will go wrong."

She held a stack of papers in her fingers and said, "I went to see that old man again and asked him for detailed information about the hill."

Not only that, Xu Muwan clapped his hands, and someone came out from the lookout pavilion.

They were holding a man, a beggar.

"Old Fu Zheng is not crazy. I brought him here too."

At this time, Lao Fu had an extremely ugly expression on his face, his mouth was sealed, and his eyes were full of pleading.

"Take the stuff out of his mouth."

Xu Muwan gave the order, and the food in Old Fu Zheng’s mouth was gone.

He ignored his pain and cried out in fear.

"Go! We can't stay here!"

The man's expression was very grim: "The things in the hill are extraordinary, definitely not at the level of Black Evil! You will die if you go there!"

"Hey, you are just a small-time Fu Zheng, what can you see?"

Another hall master said disdainfully: "You feel it's scary because you're not strong enough."

"If you are like us, you will know that it is just an evil spirit. Just kill it."

"You make it sound simple, but I know that the evil spirit can make a person beat the drum once, and then it will never be detected again."

"That's not a simple evil spirit. You must trust me and report it to Black Lantern County immediately so that we can find someone to suppress it."

"Report to Black Lantern County to suppress an evil spirit that only affects the li level?"

Bei Huazhui sneered: "Old man, you may have lost your mind."
