Yin Yang Lantern Man

In front of Liao Yun, there appeared a man with a gloomy face and a green-mouthed sword in his hand. Just now, it was this sword that almost tore him to pieces.

Strictly speaking, both are actually a piece of paper, but the fight between the two pieces of paper is dizzying to watch.

When Liao Yun found out that the other party had drawn Chen Ning'an, he became even more uneasy.

He didn't dare to look back, nor did he dare to attack Chen Ning'an's fake body.

"What are you afraid of? I won't blame you."

Chen Ningan shook his head: "But since that person drew me, he must have taken some of my things with him. You have to be careful."

You can’t even call out Chen Ning’an’s name casually, let alone draw him with your own hands.

Duo Shaohua must have been having a hard time at this moment. The pen in his hand turned into a poisonous snake and actually turned around to bite his hand!

The painter's strength would be greatly reduced without his hands. Duo Shaohua hurriedly shook his hands, but found that his hands had also turned into a python.

The snake's bite forced him to step back and fall to the ground.

Then, his limbs turned into snakes, which spread out on him and bit him.

In the field, Liao Yun was not in a much better situation. The Chen Ning'an he drew was incredibly powerful. He tore through the space with his sword, leaving many scars on his body.

Chen Ning'an raised his eyes and looked into the distance. His figure moved and he came to the side of a thin scholar.

There is a desk in front of the scholar, on which is written not words but a scroll.

The scroll showed the scene beside the stone bridge, but now the scroll was shaking and bleeding.

Chen Ning'an didn't say anything either, just looked at the scholar quietly.

The brush in the scholar's hand was also oozing blood, which was dripping onto the ground.

Duo Shaohua in the painting was bitten to death by his own limbs that had turned into poisonous tongues. Liao Yun was gasping for breath, and the fake body of Chen Ningan in front of him was motionless and turned into a pool of ink.

"Ghost Cultivator, his reputation is well-deserved."

The scholar let go of the brush in his hand with disappointment. He lost, but not to Liao Yun, but to himself.

"If I don't draw you, the outcome is unknown."

He turned to look at Chen Ning'an: "If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I would never have believed that evil spirits could achieve enlightenment."

"Have you seen it now?"

Chen Ningan smiled softly: "In fact, you can continue. No matter what you draw, Liao Yun can't beat you."

"There's no point anymore."

Duo Shaohua looked at Chen Ning'an and said, "If you were here now and found Wo's true identity, I would be dead."

He admitted openly: "I lost. I never thought there is someone like you in the world."

The scholar closed his eyes and thought that he had never been defeated since he started his war, and was always a guest of honor wherever he went. Even Emperor Qi treated him with great courtesy and granted him the title of Qing'ansi.

He thought that he had unlimited possibilities, and even if he died, he should die gloriously while fighting against a strong enemy.

but……

Now, he will die in a small corner, unknown to anyone, and the only thing that will accompany him is the bleeding scroll brush in front of him.

I closed my eyes and waited for a long time, but I didn't feel anything from Chen Ning'an.

He opened his eyes and saw only a figure walking away with his hands behind his back, as if nothing mattered to him.

He disdained to kill Duo Shaohua. Chen Ning'an's self-conceit was even higher than that of the immortals and gods in his paintings.

Looking at the back, an idea inevitably arose in Duo Shaohua's mind. This person's opponents have never been humans, but immortals, gods, and ghosts. It is true that he thinks highly of himself.

"I, Duo Shaohua, will remember your kindness today!"

He bowed seriously, then sighed as he looked at the scroll in front of him.

I can’t take it. This is a treasure given by my master. It’s a pity.

I just drew the outline of that person's appearance, and it corroded into this state.

"I have to tell the Master and the others."

This man really destroyed the Zhu family, and even he couldn't beat him. If the Taifu came over, it would be like a dish served on the table, there would be no difference.

However, he still wanted to find out more, so he went to the county magistrate's office to find the county magistrate Fei Yushu first.

At this time, the county magistrate, Fei Yushu, looked much better than before.

Ever since he put up the door god, he has gone from being worried at the beginning to being thankful now.

He slept soundly all night long, without any dreams, until dawn. This was what he had always dreamed of. In the past, he was always tormented by various worries and often woke up in the middle of the night.

He had a dream in which the Zhu family's tutor was staring at him coldly, a dream in which he saw the evil spirit that had killed his mother, and a dream in which his wife conspired with outsiders to murder him.

Now, his spirit and energy are much better, and he is more motivated to do things.

"Sir, the chief priest of Qing'an, Duo Shaohua, is here."

A guard came to report, which surprised Fei Yushu.

Duo Shaohua?
He had vaguely heard of this name, so he quickly stood up and said, "You are the chief worshiper of the Qing'an Division. What are you reporting? Come in now!"

He stood up in a hurry, and suddenly seemed to remember something: "Forget it, I'll go and invite them myself, so that you won't be negligent."

Ever since Jian met Chen Ning'an, he has deeply understood the gap between ordinary people and practitioners.

It’s okay if they are reasonable, because they know that he is the county magistrate and will not act rashly. But if they meet someone unreasonable, like Chen Ningan, the Zhu family is the best proof.

If he says he will kill you, then he will be killed. So what even if people talk about the tutor behind his back?
That old lady was the biological mother of the Grand Tutor, but with just a slap in the face, the entire Zhu family was wiped out.

He quickened his pace and soon saw the thin scholar standing outside.

Don't be fooled by the frail appearance of this scholar, he must be a powerful man, and those who can serve as a worshipper are not simple people.

It is natural that Fei Yushu would not judge a person by his appearance.

"Lord Sheriff."

Duo Shaohua saluted and Fei Yushu hurriedly returned the salute.

"Please worship in peace."

This county magistrate is different from county magistrates in other places. Duo Shaohua has a very good sense of sense. Other county magistrates hide in their houses with their tails and chins raised to the sky.

How could he come out to greet me in person like Fei Yushu did?
He is a sensible person.

Duo Shaohua gave up the initial interrogation method and entered the mansion one after another with Fei Yushu.

"The main reason I came here today is to ask you, sir, what exactly happened with the Zhu family."

He got straight to the point and spoke gently, "The Grand Master is not far from Black Light County with thousands of troops. I came here in advance to ask about it so I can have a rough idea."

"The Zhu family."

Fei Yushu's face darkened and he subconsciously glanced at the door.

He felt guilty, and even though Chen Ning'an had told him clearly, he still couldn't let go of his feelings.

"The Zhu family has committed many evil things. It can only be said that they brought about their own destruction."

He sighed and told the whole story word for word, detail after detail.

It also embellished the story of how he was held hostage and how powerless he was.

"It seems so."

Duo Shaohua's face turned a little ugly. He wished that all this was fake, but unfortunately it was true!

Then, he should go and persuade the Grand Tutor.

"Thank you for your advice, County Magistrate. I will return and report immediately."

Duo Shaohua turned around and used his painting to control the void. Without the scroll and the magic brush, his speed was much slower.

On the way, he was thinking about his wording. He must not exaggerate the enemy too much. If the other party let him go, he naturally would not let the tutor go back to find help.

How to say it?
Even when he arrived at the place where the Grand Tutor was, he still had no clue and could only decide to tell the truth like Fei Yushu.

But when he saw where the tutor was, he was completely stunned.

The pungent smell of blood filled the air, and the sight was all red. Thousands of heavy soldiers stood still, and the bodies inside did not show any blood at all.

All the Return to Void masters around the Grand Tutor had their heads and bodies separated, while the Grand Tutor was being lifted up by someone by the neck.

It was Chen Ningan. He quietly admired the Master's struggle and sighed:
"You have committed so many evil things. Killing you would be a great favor to Kidd."

He would still hold back on the common people, but when he came here he discovered that these people were no different from ghosts.

His action actually restored clarity to the world.

Tianzun is in charge of the Ministry of Thunder and is responsible for rewarding and punishing good and evil. Chen Ning'an suddenly understood why Tianzun took a fancy to him.

He still remembers the scene where the Heavenly Lord gave him some Dharma teachings when he was summoning the gods.

Unconsciously, the strength of his struggle became weaker and weaker. Chen Ning'an let go of his hand and turned back to smile at Duo Shaohua:

"Hey, we meet again."

"Yes, we meet again."

Duo Shaohua looked at the shocking things around him, he felt helpless: "I can't explain to Emperor Qi if you do this."

What could he say?
He said that he had gone and the Grand Tutor was dead, and all the soldiers you rewarded him with were gone?
Killing the Grand Tutor is a slap in the face of Emperor Qi and the entire Qi Kingdom!

"To be honest, I don't want to wait any longer."

Chen Ning'an watched Duo Shaohua leave. His main task now was to complete the cultivation of Jinhua and then go to Dian Garden to take a look.

The golden statue that looks exactly like himself, the miniature lantern, the suppressed evil, are full of puzzles.

He likes solving puzzles, just like solving his own puzzles in Xin Qin.

After Duo Shaohua went back, Chen Ningan returned to Heideng County. As expected, the higher-ups were furious!
The dignified Emperor Qi, the ruler of a country, was so angry that he threw the jade seal and feather fan in the court and stamped his feet in anger.

"What a shame, what a shame! What a shame!"

"What do you think of me? What do you think of me, Daqi?"

"Who among you will go and deal with that evil man and bring him to justice!"

Emperor Qi was not satisfied with just this, he wanted to wipe out all ten clans of Chen Ningan!
Kill ten clans, even the rat passing by will be chopped off.

But no one in the court, whether civil or military, spoke a word.

They didn't dare to take action. Duo Shaohua had already said that he couldn't win and could only escape with his life, let alone them.

"Qingan Sizheng, you say!"

Emperor Qi walked up to Si Zheng and angrily said, "How should we solve this problem?"

Qing'an Division is responsible for evil spirits, and is also the highest cultivation organization in the entire Daqi. Qing'an Division is naturally the most suitable one to deal with rebels like Chen Ning'an.

"Return to your majesty!"

Si Zheng said with a heavy face: "Duo Shaohua's strength is no different from that of a Void Refining cultivator. It is even rumored that he is even stronger than that."

"And even Duo Shaohua couldn't defeat that villain. Sending Return to Void cultivators to offer sacrifices is no longer effective. We have to find someone from Refining Void."

He was clear-headed and spoke clearly: "Right now, there are Elder Gan and Taoist Xingzhe in the Lianxu realm in Daqi. The rest are hard to find at the moment."

"Then go find them and let them take action!"

Emperor Qi slapped the dragon throne and said, "I want to see the results within half a month. If not, you Qing'an Division will go wherever you want to cool off!"

After the roar, the court finally ended.

Many bureaucrats came to comfort the director of the Qing'an Division, saying thank you for your hard work.

"Emperor Qi is also very angry. The death of the Grand Tutor is like the sky falling. Si Zheng should not take it to heart."

"Si Zheng, Emperor Qi is just talking, he won't disband the Qing'an Division."

"Si Zheng, if you are troubled, I, the old man Xingzhe, can help you find it."

It can be seen that Si Zheng of the Qing'an Division has very good relations in the court.

How could it be bad? After all, he was a monk, and he was responsible for dealing with the world's greatest scourge - evil spirits. Who would dare to offend the reputation of Si Zheng?
They clasped their fists one by one, and Si Zheng smiled, his expression as usual.

He just waited until there was no one around, frowned, and began to think.

"The Zhu family was destroyed, and the Grand Tutor died. This actually got rid of a big threat for me."

This guy named Chen Ning'an is really capable. I can't let him die.

When he returned to the mansion, he saw a eunuch waiting at the door.

"Si Zheng, His Majesty has asked you to act quickly. There is no time to waste."

"So urgent?"

Si Zheng sneered, "Even if you want to eat shit, you have to go to the front first, right?"

"Watch your words!"

The eunuch's face changed, this was a very treasonous statement.

"Your mother lives in Lujiao, outside the city."

Si Zheng only said this, and the eunuch's face turned pale. He knelt down hurriedly: "Damn it, damn it!"

Keep slapping.

"Well, now you know what to say when you get back, right? I won't keep you for dinner."

Si Zheng didn't even look at it. After returning, he first played with his concubine for half the night, and then got in the prepared car and left.

But he did not go to find the old man Xingzhe, nor did he go to find the Taoist Master Gan Lao. Instead, he went to Black Lantern County.

"Let me meet my great benefactor."

As long as the Grand Tutor is alive, his hand cannot reach far, and he has no reason to take action, otherwise he will be feared by others.

But now that the Grand Tutor is dead, Chen Ning'an can take action and he can legitimately recruit other ministers under his command.

I must meet this Chen Ningan.

When he was there, Chen Ning'an was also in Heideng County, running a stall as usual.

Lately he felt that his fortune-telling state of mind had improved, and he was unwilling to let it go.

Anyway, we are all waiting for the golden flower to be complete, so it kills two birds with one stone.

Just as he opened the fortune-telling stall, he heard the sound of a magpie calling, and it landed behind him with a piece of yellow cloth in its beak.

"what?"

Chen Ningan was surprised: "An emperor came to see me today?"

He turned around to look, and then something moved him.

"No, the emperor should be in front of you, not behind you. I'm afraid that the one who came is an uncrowned emperor."

He always believed in his own divinations, so today, he rarely closed the stall early, but waited.

The point behind him was Zi position and also Zi time. When it was Zi time, as expected, he heard applause coming from the darkness.

"Clap clap clap!"

"As expected of a man who can destroy Taifu's family, did you know I would come so you waited for me here?"

The other party's eyes fell on the fortune-telling stall, and the place where his feet landed was exactly the same as the place where the magpie landed in the daytime.

"The Uncrowned Emperor has arrived, but unfortunately I, Chen Ning'an, only have a cup of cold tea to entertain him."

Chen Ning'an didn't even look back, but pointed at the tea in front of him. By now, it had already gone cold.

"Thank you."

The chief of Qing'an Division was walking over and clasped his fists to him:

"I am the chief of Daqi Qing'an Division, Director Yu Gao."
