Yin Yang Lantern Man

"Why all that nonsense?"

Master Gan Lao walked out of the small world, and that small world was quickly dispersing.

But in the next second, the skin of Master Gan Lao cracked, and there was actually a person hidden inside.

The skin of this Void Refining Monk was indeed difficult to control. Chen Ning'an pulled the skin back on. The scary thing was that Master Gan's eyeballs were still moving.

He did not die, but was forced to become a "puppet".

Such a puppet is enough to frighten people and make them scream in fear.

"Kill him quickly."

These four words became Emperor Qi's swan song.

In the Daqi calendar, from this day on, the country's name was changed to Gao, the new emperor ascended the throne, and blood flowed like a river.

Half of the officials were executed along with their entire clans, and all the historians were massacred, without any one being spared.

The year he ascended the throne, the entire sky was blood red.

The people were terrified, thinking that the tyrant would impose harsh policies that would bring disaster to innocent people.

How did such an emperor become the emperor? At the beginning, there were complaints everywhere.

But soon, the people discovered something different.

In addition to killing people, the first thing the new emperor did upon ascending the throne was to implement a policy that every household must post door gods.

What is a door god?
It was a piece of paper branded on the door. It was said that with this thing, there was no need to go out on patrol every night and worry about evil spirits entering the village or town.

"Are you kidding me? This piece of paper can protect our safety?"

The brave ones shouted in the crowd: "I can tear it apart easily, and I think it can resist evil spirits?"

"I think this is just a trick used by the new emperor to fool us ordinary people. Does he really think that we don't know anything because we haven't been educated?"

Such reactions quickly spread everywhere. The people thought that this would allow them to express their protest and dissatisfaction with the new emperor.

Even if there is a need for punishment, the law should not punish everyone, right?
But Emperor Gao showed no mercy. The next day, the troops defending the border withdrew together and headed towards Daqi... no, into the territory of Dagao.

Suppress by force. Whoever disobeys will die, no matter whether you are a man or a woman, old or young, or a gentry or noble family member, you will all die!

Under the violent means, the people had to suppress their emotions and stick door gods on their doors.

Professional craftsmen were invited to carve huge patterns on the city gate.

Inside the newly renovated Golden Palace, Yu Gao, wearing a black and gold dragon-patterned robe, asked all the ministers to leave the court.

He suddenly stood up and walked behind the dragon throne.

"Sir, what do you think of my efficiency?"

"God's efficiency is the only one I have ever seen in my life."

Chen Ning'an had to admit that there was a reason why Yu Gao could sit in this position.

The efficiency was really fast. The army suppressed the enemy violently just to put up door gods for him.

"I will not treat you unfairly."

Chen Ning'an was very satisfied with him. He looked at the memorial on the table:

"You have withdrawn troops from all four borders. Except for the Western Wasteland, the other three countries have already noticed something is wrong."

Although these bordering countries are not as powerful as Dagao, they are not weak either. They have always united to fight against Dagao.

If we withdraw our troops now, these small countries will soon discover the situation, and it is not impossible for them to take the opportunity to swallow up some large border cities.

"As long as I can achieve my goal, sir, what does it matter if I lose a few cities?"

Yu Gao was more open-minded and he was determined to win over this person.

It would have been fine if Chen Ning'an had directly killed Master Gan Lao, but he didn't.

Instead, they reduced Gan Lao to nothing but his skin, and then took over the place, while Gan Lao was still alive.

Living a life worse than death, being dominated and unable to act on one's own.

At this moment, the person in front of him was Gan Lao, but the person inside was Chen Ningan.

You must never make an enemy of this person. Even if you don't help, you must maintain a friendly relationship with him.

"Da Gao has my gate god. If there is one less, I will feel uncomfortable."

Chen Ning'an stood up and tore open the void.

This is the old master Gan being dominated and torn apart, and he came to the northern border in one step.

This is a country called Kurosawa. There are many naval forces on Kurosawa. They also heard the news of Dagao's withdrawal.

When Chen Ning'an came, a large number of shipyards had already gathered here. They coveted the solid land of Dagao, which was their dream.

Chen Ning'an was standing high in the sky.

"What on earth do you want me to do?"

The skin of the old master Gan is speaking, questioning the person inside.

"Kill him if you want, why insult him like this?"

"I need to see some secrets."

Chen Ningan said nothing: "If the secret is revealed by me, it is not a bad idea to let you go."

"So what are you doing here now?"

Gan Lao asked, and Chen Ning'an pointed at the navy below and said, "Flood them."

"Don't even think about it!"

Gan Lao shouted angrily: "Killing so many people will definitely bring great consequences and karma. I, the Taoist priest, will not do it!"

"You're going to die, and you're still worried about karma?"

Chen Ningan sneered: "Do you think you still have a choice now?"

He hid in the skin and sewed himself up tightly. Everything was done by Gan Lao.

He waved his hand, and suddenly endless waters condensed from the void, his domain was exerted, and the spirit of refining emptiness descended.

"boom!"

The devastating flood completely overwhelmed the navy.

"I'm not willing to give in!"

Some of the navy shouted: "You monks are shameless. You attacked the mortal army. You deserve to die!"

"Just wait, you will surely die without a burial place!"

"I did not do that!"

Master Gan was terrified and really felt that a catastrophe was coming, but Chen Ning'an in his body was well protected and hidden in his soul.

The cause and effect karma are really all blocked by ourselves.

"No!"

He knew that he had become a scapegoat, but Chen Ning'an didn't care.

He went to the eastern border, collapsed the mountains, and killed another 300,000 people.

Finally, he went to the southern plains and killed another 500,000 people!

Coming and going, millions of people turned into bloody boats in one day.

Having killed too many, Master Gan Lao became strangely flushed, with a terrible bloody energy condensing all over his body.

Every time he took a step, his body seemed to be slightly unstable. This was an incredible thing.

When karma touches you, all kinds of accidents will happen, the most straightforward of which is “God is going to take you away.”

It may not be noticeable to mortals, but to monks, it is very sensitive.

One day later, Chen Ning'an returned to the Golden Palace and said only one sentence to Yu Gao.

"The main forces of the three surrounding kingdoms have been destroyed. I want to see my gate gods posted on all the gates of the four kingdoms."

"Bang!"

When Yu Gao heard the news, he felt like he was struck by lightning. He couldn't believe it, but didn't ask any more questions.

Because on the skin of Master Gan Lao, there is karma that even he is afraid of and turns red!
Really, how many people would be killed?

Three months later, the troops in Dagao returned to the border, expanded in all directions, and took it all in one fell swoop!
Yu Gao, also known as Emperor Gao, was honored as the Great Emperor. He unified the four kingdoms and was praised by everyone.

Those unpleasant sounds also disappeared.

Some people rumored that Yu Gao was a god who came down from heaven and must bring blessings to the people.

All kinds of magical stories soon spread about the door god. "Really? I clearly saw the evil spirit following me, so I had to run home. But guess what happened? The evil spirit was eaten by the god that flew out from the door!"

"Gate God, he is really a Gate God. How can this be the Poison Emperor? This is clearly the God Emperor!"

All kinds of compliments made Yu Gao realize that he was just lucky this time and did the right thing.

Who would have thought that all this was just because he wanted to thank Chen Ningan who helped him destroy the Zhu family?

Ten years later, inside the Golden Palace, Chen Ning'an felt the dragon energy spreading. In the small world of Master Gan Lao, a twelve-petal golden lotus slowly blossomed above his head.

Under his feet, twelve-petal silver flowers were also blooming, and the lead flower between his eyebrows was faintly tearing his skin.

Three flowers gather together!

The soul is complete and it’s done!
At this moment, he clearly felt a calling, as if the magnetism of the magnet was finally strong enough to sense the surrounding metal.

Three magical flowers bloomed, and Chen Ning'an stood up. He finally decided to go to the virtual world to take a look.

"Dianyuan..."

While hesitating, one day, a man disappeared silently, and "Master Gan Lao" stepped on the void and went to a place in the dark.

"Incredible, you actually have the Three Flowers Gathering at the Top of your Head!"

There was shock in Master Gan Lao's words. For most people, the three flowers at the top of their heads are not complete.

A flower with twelve petals is already the limit for humans. Many people are successful if they can only bloom three petals. Six petals means they are a genius, and nine petals means they are the genius among geniuses and can be called a monster.

But Chen Ning'an's flower blossomed into the twelfth grade, which was enough to make Master Gan Lao tremble with shock.

"Is it great?"

Chen Ning'an asked him back, it's just that he uses several countries as the nourishment for his growth.

He felt that it was not difficult for a flower to bloom with twelve petals, and everything would happen naturally.

"Do you think everyone is as perverted as you?"

Master Gan Lao said angrily: "Lead flower, silver flower, gold flower, three flowers, if any one of them can fully bloom, it is enough to be ranked among the immortals, what do you think!"

It's really annoying to compare people to each other.

Especially when he thought of how Chen Ning'an was being refined and gaining enlightenment in his own little world, his jealousy was aroused even more.

Perhaps, knowing that he was living under someone else's roof, Master Gan Lao's true nature came out.

"How can there be a monster like you in the world? I don't accept it. How unfair is the way of heaven!"

"boom!"

Thunder appeared in the void, and the monks did not dare to discuss the way of heaven. Master Gan Lao shut up in time.

"What if I get struck by lightning?" Chen Ningan sneered:
"You only know that I have a good talent, but you don't know how many lives I've been through, how I've been on the verge of death, or how I've been struggling alone in this lawless world."

It is natural that he has everything he has today. The hardships he has endured are not something a normal person can endure.

Master Gan Lao's complaints actually demonstrate his great perseverance.

We have arrived at the virtual world.

This is a world that does not exist in reality. It is pitch black outside the world, but as soon as you think about it, the darkness turns into snow-white.

As soon as Chen Ning'an set foot here, he began to feel annoyed.

"Floating World Grass, I found it with great difficulty, it increases the success rate of refining the Void, 30,000 Divine Coins, does anyone want it?"

"The Jishi Flower is a flower that grows after the death of a Buddhist master. It is estimated that there is only this one in the past hundred years. 50,000 divine coins, no bargaining."

"It's a spiritual longevity magic weapon. Even though it's a coffin, it's actually quite powerful. Does anyone want to try it?"

There are all kinds of noisy sounds, it's very lively here.

Those who can come here are all at the Return to Void level, and there is almost no distance limit for them.

"Why aren't you leaving?" Master Gan Lao found that Chen Ning'an was standing in front of a stall without moving.

This stall looks relatively simple, selling things similar to bronze artifacts.

"They are all small magical instruments. Do you think they are good enough?"

Gan Lao's voice sounded doubtful. It was not that he looked down on these things. They were very important to the Return to Void cultivators.

But for the Void Refining level, it is really far behind.

Even though Chen Ning'an has just achieved perfection in his soul, his three flowers are all top-notch and his strength is terrifyingly formidable.

Anyone of higher level can kill him, these things are really common.

"Boss, how much is this?"

Chen Ning'an squatted down and saw a bronze banner.

The body of the banner is a bronze stick, and the banner on it also looks like bronze, but it is extremely tough.

As the wind blew from somewhere unknown, the bronze flag swayed gently.

"Do you want to buy it?"

The stall owner looked up and saw that it was the Lianxu master.

His voice suddenly became respectful, and he introduced carefully:
"This flag is a spirit refining flag. You may not think highly of it. It can only collect some souls below the Return to Void level."

"When facing an enemy, waving the Spirit Refining Banner can invite some refined souls to come out and help."

"It's of no use."

Chen Ning'an stood up and didn't plan to buy anything else.

The reason he watched was simply because he had never seen such a magical instrument before.

It's useless, why are you still watching?
The monk twitched his lips and said nothing more. Whatever the senior said was right.

However, this did inspire him that if he regarded himself as a spirit-refining flag, although he could no longer invite gods out, he could still strengthen himself better.

Stones from other mountains can attack jade.

This is a piece of stone from another mountain.

Unconsciously, Master Gan Lao discovered that Chen Ning'an was in his body and began to gain enlightenment again!

Is he really such a monstrous evildoer? He just took a look at the God Refining Banner?

He didn't know that Chen Ning'an had been hungry and thirsty for too long and had never seen these things before.

Now, he is actively making up for his shortcomings.

This virtual world is a good place.

Half a day later, Chen Ning'an woke up and asked passers-by how to get to Dian Garden.

"You're going to the memorial garden?"

The passerby frowned and said, "Daoyou, it's best to bring a talisman to the Divine Garden, otherwise it may be dangerous."

"Oh?"

Chen Ningan frowned: "What do you mean?"

"You probably don't know yet, but something happened in Dianyuan a year ago, and some wronged souls in it have resurrected."

For others, they are just wronged souls and can be killed.

But this is the virtual world, and nothing buried in the memorial garden is simple.

"It is said that several cultivators have died in there, and two cultivators at the Void Refining stage have also died."

"If they're dead, how can the news get out?"

Chen Ning'an sneered, asked for the route, and then arrived at Dian Garden in one step.

At first glance, the feeling he had was "familiar".

Yes, it's familiar. The layout here is very similar to the Red Candle Cemetery!

In addition to him, there are many other people moving here.

They held red candles and incense sticks in their hands and offered sacrifices to the people in the cemetery.

For example, there is a tombstone next to me. A Returning Void monk is kneeling in front of it. There is a line of words on it:

《The Tomb of My Beloved Wife Liu Yunmiao.》

The red candle was put down and burned slowly.

Chen Ning'an ignored it and walked forward.

If nothing unexpected happens, there should be a lightning-struck tree in front.
