Yin Yang Lantern Man

Chapter 7: Re-entering the Lantern World
When he noticed the other person, the other person obviously noticed him too.

The two sickly men looked at each other, and there was a strange sense of separation between them through the crowd.

Chen Ning'an walked towards the other person. He couldn't wait for the other person to come over. The most important thing was that he hoped to borrow a red candle.

"What are you doing here?" Noticing Chen Ning'an, the boning knife looked him up and down: "Are you here to participate in this official mission?"

Chen Ningan nodded in confirmation, but the latter sneered.

"You are a novice who has just become a lantern bearer, and you dare to come to participate in the official mission. I don't know whether you are brave or you want to die."

She left right away: "Don't come near me, I'm worried your stupidity will be contagious."

"Wait a minute!"

Chen Ningan chased after him and asked: "Can you lend me a red candle?"

Liu Chenxue was shocked: "You actually asked me to "borrow" a red candle?"

She seemed to have discovered a new world: "I have met many people, but you are the first one who is so bold and shameless."

"If I don't lend you the money, you could die at any time. Who should I ask for the money when that happens?"

He was rejected very bluntly. This was all within Chen Ning'an's expectations. People are inherently cold and ruthless to each other, especially when it comes to transactions of such huge amounts.

"I'll switch with you."

He took out the amulet and wrapped it tightly in paper.

"Oh?"

Liu Chenxue became interested: "What is it?"

"A talisman that can resist attacks from evil spirits."

He handed the boning knife to Chen Ning'an, who took it, looked at him and sneered.

"A talisman? It's a prop from that world, right?"

"He's really a new guy who can't be any newer."

Chen Ning'an understood what she said. If the other party tried to rob him openly, he would have no way to get the amulet back.

Once important guarantees are lost, the mortality rate in that world will increase significantly, and people who would have survived may now die.

Everyone's behavior clearly shows that the world is really dangerous.

When she opened the paper outside the talisman and touched the talisman with her fingers, her face changed the next second.

A cool feeling came from many parts of his body, and then a large amount of cold air was dispelled, and the amulet emitted a scorching light.

Those cold gases are actually yin energy, evil energy, or evil energy from ghosts. The amulet can protect you and dispel these things.

This time, the boning knife's expression changed, and then he put the talisman paper into his arms.

She raised her finger: "A red candle."

"Not enough." Chen Ning'an looked into her eyes calmly: "Anyone with a discerning eye knows that my talisman is much more valuable than the red candle."

"But you need it now, don't you?"

The woman directly thrust a red candle into his hand and said, "You have no right to choose. You must have the red candle, otherwise you wouldn't be so eager to exchange it with me."

"And you are about to die. If you enter that world without the red candle as a deterrent this time, you will die miserably."

She reached out and touched Chen Ning'an's right shoulder, then turned and walked into the night.

This time, Chen Ning'an did not chase her again, and the woman provided him with a piece of information again.

The handprint on his shoulder would kill him without the red candle.

Chen Ning'an had no doubts, as he had seen it when he came into contact with the amulet before.

He looked at the red candle in his hand, and the corners of his mouth rose slightly.

"Without the amulet, it still can't stop me."

If he can make one, he can make the second, the tenth...

A truly strong person is never defeated by external things.

Time passed minute by minute, and at night, the Lan'an community seemed particularly quiet. When it was almost midnight, every household turned off the lights.

There were only some people in the community wandering aimlessly. Chen Ningan sat down on a flower bed. It was difficult for this body to just stand.

He heard someone talking.

"To put it bluntly, our official mission is to use our lives to prevent leaks there."

"That's right. If we don't take the initiative to fill the balance, something will flow out. Really, you are so stingy that you don't even give us a little more special medicine."

"I heard that the materials used to make this thing are not rare. It is deliberately controlled by the higher-ups of New Qin, just to keep us dying people hanging on to our lives."

In just a few words, Chen Ning'an received a lot of information. He put aside all distractions and looked at the time on his mobile phone.

The time was almost up, and he sincerely asked God in his heart, praying for some clues.

Suddenly, a muffled knocking sound came from the southeast.

The sound is Zhen, the southeast is Xun wood, and the hexagram is Thunder and Wind Heng.

The number for Zi hour is one, the number for Zhen is four, the number for Xun is five and the number for nine, which is ten in total. Divide the Yao by six, and the remainder is four, which means four Yaos are moving.

The thunder and wind are constant and the earth wind is rising.

The hexagram has been revealed, and the good or bad luck is clear. He slowly put the red candle into the lantern.

The main hexagram represents wind and thunder mixed together. Zhen wood is active, and the main hexagram has prosperous wood, like a dense forest.

The mutual hexagram is Ze Tian Kui, Qian metal blocks Xun wood, and the changing hexagram is Kun earth. There are forests and earth, and it is estimated that it is no longer a plain.

"Qianjin is evil."

Chen Ning'an locked onto the danger in the hexagram. The Qian metal also symbolizes the corpse of an old man, metal objects and so on.

"Today, if you see gold, you must retreat."

Time is up.

At this moment, he saw many lanterns lit up in Lan'an Community, and so did he.

After lighting the lantern, close your eyes and walk slowly on the ground.

When the touch on the soles of his feet was different and a mysterious feeling of fear came over him, Chen Ning'an knew that he had entered the world of lanterns.

This was the first time he opened his eyes and looked at the world. What he saw was a plain, a plain that was always dead and desolate.

In the distance, there are dense forests, stone peaks, buildings, and so on.

It was just dilapidated and dead silent, like a ghost cave.

Red lanterns lit up the world, and at a glance, there were dozens of people here. It was hard to imagine that there were so many people holding lanterns, and he had never seen or heard of such people in his previous life.

Just then his eyes moved and he saw the boning knife.

I also saw... a figure that didn't belong here.

Wang Youcai?
The two were not far apart, and upon closer inspection, one could see the little fat boy's pale face, which could not be erased even under the light of the red lantern.

He was very scared, his teeth were chattering and he was at a loss.

"Tsk, tsk, it's a new guy."

"No team dares to come and participate in the official mission. They won't even know how they died."

"That's good. It just happens to fill the balance of this world."

Some lantern-carrying men walked past him in groups, making the fat man's face turn paler and paler.

He lowered his head and started walking here despite his fear.

"Ning An, wait for me, I will never let you die!"

He could barely move his legs, but despite his body's weakness, his will was enough to carry him forward.

A slap suddenly hit his shoulder.

Wang Youcai's whole body trembled, his fat flesh quivered, and his will disappeared into thin air in an instant.

"Woo~Ghost...Ghost Brother, I can't die!"

The cry almost instantly jumped out of Wang Youcai's mouth.
