Yin Yang Lantern Man

Chapter 3: Entering the Strange World with a Candle to Protect Your Heart

Chen Ning'an felt that he was originally walking in circles, but was gradually turning into a straight line.

No matter how he corrected it, the route became straighter and straighter.

The originally flat floor of the intensive care unit began to become bumpy and uncomfortable to walk on.

“Drip…drip…

The sounds coming from the vital signs instrument on the hospital bed became smaller and smaller, and farther and farther away, as if he was abandoning the world, or... being abandoned by the world.

The ground became steeper and steeper, and sometimes he even felt his feet slipping.

Chen Ning'an closed his eyes tightly. In the pitch-black darkness, only the red lantern in his hand could bring a little difference to the darkness within his eyelids.

All the sounds were leaving him.

But suddenly, Wangcai's familiar voice came to his ears.

"Ning'an, Ning'an! Why are you up? Go back, go back and lie down!"

Chen Ning'an took a deep breath and felt the ridges on the ground with his toes in slippers. He didn't answer, but just slowed down his pace.

I didn’t dare stop, so I told him in the letter, don’t stop.

Although he closed his eyes, he could sense from the changing light of the lantern that there was something blocking his way ahead.

"Ning An, why are you closing your eyes? Open them quickly and come back with me!"

The voice sounded again, with an extremely familiar tone and intonation, as if it was really Wang Youcai in front of him.

But... Chen Ning'an didn't believe it.

In the Jin hexagram of Fire and Earth, Kun Earth represents the Tai of all Yin, gathering together filth and being sinking when viewed.

He deduced in his mind, gradually calming himself down, and actually continued walking forward with the lantern in hand, "bumping" into the "black shadow"!
"You are crazy, why are you leaving? Don't leave!"

The voice continued to ring, always in front of him, but Chen Ningan never touched the other party.

Wang Youcai's voice gradually became anxious, his tone changed, and it became strange and hoarse, with occasional shrill sobs.

Finally, there is only one lament:
“What a pity…

It seems like something important is missing.

The vision blocked by the lantern light became dark again. Chen Ningan continued on his way, walking forward with a firm and slow pace.

It was strange that he had walked for so long without touching anything. He guessed that this might be some vast wilderness.

If we look at the hexagram, the change of the three lines represents the top of the earth, the end of the earth.

Until it touches something that looks like a high mountain stone platform.

He had just experienced a sound, and before he had walked far, there were strange sounds lingering around.

If you can't see anything, your fear will be infinitely magnified.

He could only recite the Golden Light Mantra continuously, praying that it would protect him.

However... he couldn't see whether it was effective or not.

Suddenly, Chen Ning'an felt his shoulder sink, and a chill almost froze half of his arm off.

There was something on his body, and Chen Ning'an didn't dare to touch it. His heart, which had been practicing Taoism for decades, was trembling violently.

He held the lantern tightly, ignoring the coldness on his shoulder, and kept walking.

He locked onto the hexagrams firmly, the six hexagrams of plum blossoms, and in order, he first touched Kun. Perhaps it was the voice similar to Wang Youcai's.

Then, what about the surrounding things? Is it Gen, the lower hexagram? Or is it Kun, the same as the use hexagram?
So, the coldness in the shoulders now may be the Kan of the upper mutual hexagram?
Looking at the whole hexagram, water in Kan represents disaster. Water and fire are incompatible and are also the most dangerous...

His heart sank further and further, and he gradually became unable to distinguish the hexagrams. Everything was beyond his understanding.

The uneasy heart is getting bigger and bigger.

It will transform into the most terrifying jackal and eat you and devour you.

It was getting colder and colder. The chill had spread to the right half of his body and seemed to be freezing him completely, making him unable to walk.

Under the influence, his hand holding the lantern became stiff.

He still didn't dare to open his eyes. The jackal in his heart seemed to be right in front of him, wanting to bite him to death.

Chen Ning'an's eyelids trembled, and he could hardly suppress the urge to open his eyes and see all of this, which would give him an unparalleled sense of security!
"Don't open your eyes!" He suddenly said, hypnotizing himself:

"I am the youngest genius in Yixue!"

"My divination skills are superb!"

"I use my own weaknesses to defeat others' strengths! Even if the other party is a well-known person!"

"The Jinzhi Trigram! If you open your eyes, you will die! You will lose your breath!"

He forced himself to suppress the fear in his heart and strengthen his will!
However, although the special medicine he swallowed relieved him of the pain, it could not restore his weak body. The stiffness on one side of his body made him drowsy and he almost fell asleep.

His steps became disordered, his body was exhausted, and he almost fainted from exhaustion. His speed slowly decreased...

Suddenly, Chen Ningan woke up from his trance and realized that he had stopped.

"Oops!"

In an instant, panic and uneasiness came from all directions, and he felt the light of his lantern dimming rapidly.

His body was almost completely frozen and it was extremely difficult to move. He wanted very badly to open his eyes and to use his gaze to drive away the jackal in his heart.

But his rationality reached an incomparable peak at this time, and the Huoshan Lu Gua of Huodi Jin began to spin like a plum blossom.

This was an extremely wonderful feeling. The hexagram temporarily suppressed his fear. Chen Ning'an knew that this state would not last long and it would be difficult for him to encounter this state in his previous life.

Vitality! Where is the vitality in this hexagram?
There are fifty in the Great Dao and forty-nine in the Heaven. This is absolutely not a lie. Any hexagram has a glimmer of hope.

Why do we need to walk? Walking is the hexagram of Zhen wood. Wood can produce fire, and producing fire means life.

However, he stopped, the wood was exhausted and the fire was extinguished, so the coldness spread all around. If he wanted to survive, one thing he had to do was to walk again, and the other thing was the Li in the hexagram!

Lihuo, Lihuo! Warm fire!

He became ruthless and thrust his still-moving left hand into the lantern, pulled out the candle and placed it in front of his eyes.

The candlelight seemed to dispel the cold briefly, giving him a little bit of energy.

it works!

Chen Ning'an took a sudden step, protecting the candle in the darkness, and ran forward without hesitation.

The candle flickered but would not go out. Even though it burned his skin painfully, Chen Ning'an did not put it down. Gradually, he sensed another ball of light.

just in front!

Where there is light, there is Li, and Li fire is life!
He gritted his teeth and ran quickly towards the light, which was getting brighter and closer.

Suddenly, his palms felt hot; it turned out that the candle was almost burned out.

"Quick!"

Chen Ning'an roared and ran towards the light desperately. He had a premonition that once the candle burned out, he would surely die!

The coldness on his shoulders seemed to sense his anxiety, and it became more and more terrifying, almost sending his body into shock.

But Chen Ning'an finally touched the light with a breath.

It seems to be a wall.

No, there is something on the wall, it looks like a box.

He held the box desperately and walked along the network cable wall, his sight becoming warmer and warmer.

Finally, he touched the light.

"Shh!"

The familiar beeping sound of the vital signs instruments, the patient's cries, the crying outside, and the smoothness underfoot suddenly came to my mind.

came back?
Chen Ning'an touched the bed, felt the patient, and even heard the patient's terrified whimpering, before he dared to open his eyes.

came back!
A smile of great joy appeared on his face.

However, the old man in the next bed did not think so. He could only move his eyes. He saw the child walking around in the hospital, and finally rushed towards him and touched him all over.

"Help!"

The old man forcibly regained control of his body!
