Yin Yang Lantern Man

Chapter 8 Yellow Mud Beach

"Look at your lack of ability, and you dare to come to the Lantern World?"

A familiar voice came, and Wangcai turned around subconsciously and reflexively: "Ning An?"

"Why are you here!!!"

His voice was so loud that some red lanterns stopped to look, but soon left.

There seems to be some taboo that prevents them from staying together.

Chen Ningan suddenly hugged the little fat boy: "Thank you."

"But I told you that I have my own way. If you die here, how can I explain to your parents?"

Just because he called Wangcai just now and Wangcai turned around, it can be confirmed that this little fat boy will probably die a miserable death.

"Ning An." Wang Youcai's mouth sank: "It's great to see you here."

Chen Ning'an shook his head helplessly. He was obviously extremely timid, yet he dared to do such a touching thing.

He patted the latter on the shoulder and said, "Follow me. This place is very dangerous. Remember what I said."

"If you see a dead body, metal, bones, or anything white, don't touch it!"

"Okay, I'll listen to you!" The little fat man nodded like pecking at rice.

With two lanterns in front and behind, Chen Ning'an walked towards the forest.

The official mission only had one sentence asking them to come in and that was it.

Some people walked away towards the grassland.

Some people walked towards the stone forest.

Someone was walking towards the building.

They walked towards the forest.

"Why go to the forest?" Wang Youcai commented:

"Ning An, I think it would be better to go inside the building. As long as we hide inside until the time is up, we can get two months' worth of special medicine."

He patted his chest proudly and said, "I did this when I first entered the Lantern World two days ago. Nothing happened."

Chen Ning'an paused slightly, looked at the little fat boy carefully, and sighed.

"Wangcai, show me your birth date later."

He felt that this person had a good fate.

Most people who practice cultivation do not look at their horoscopes, it is not very important.

While they were talking, a gust of wind suddenly blew over the grassland.

wind?
Chen Ning'an looked into the distance and saw a field of bent grass bowing towards them under the dim sky, and the wind was pulling them closer at a speed visible to the naked eye.

The lanterns in the wind flickered twice...and went out!
"hiss!"

Wang Youcai took a deep breath and said, "Fuck, he's dead?"

When a person dies, it's like a light going out, but here, the light going out is like a person dying!

"go!"

Chen Ning'an grabbed Wangcai and ran towards the woods.

There is something wrong with the wind, no wonder the main hexagram is wind.

Maybe he can't make a judgment on the spot, but based on the image and the meaning of the hexagram, he can find the most correct path.

Fortunately, they were not far from the woods, and the wind started blowing almost as they entered the woods.

"Crash!"

The trees were rustling, but strangely the wind couldn't get in at all.

At this point in time, the lantern lights they saw were still going out.

"One, two, three... eighteen...

Wang Youcai kept counting, and finally couldn't close his mouth: "At least more than twenty people died in Ning'an this time."

"Don't worry about it." Chen Ning'an pulled him forward and said, "Follow me closely. If others die, they die. It has nothing to do with us."

The trees in this forest are so dense that one person cannot hug them together, so the view is greatly obstructed.

Continuing to walk forward, Chen Ningan suddenly stopped. There was an extremely strange dead tree in front of him, and the twisted trunk looked like the claws of a demon.

Under the red light of the lantern, it was still shaking slightly.

"Ning'an?"

Wang Youcai's palms were sweating: "There is something wrong with that tree."

"Anyone with a discerning eye can tell there's a problem. Let's go and take a detour."

He took Wang Youcai around, and at this moment, he frowned slightly.

The cold touch came from my shoulder again, and the evil spirit became restless. Moreover, it was slowly increasing and strengthening at a certain speed.

He said nothing, but continued walking towards the forest.

A specific medicine is not his goal.

In the whole hexagram, wood represents harmony, and the changing hexagram Kun represents wealth.

He is looking for soil.

But this earth is not safe either. You must know that earth produces gold, and gold is the taboo god in the hexagram.

"what!"

Suddenly, a scream was heard from behind. Wang Youcai subconsciously wanted to turn back, but was held down by the quick-eyed and quick-handed Chen Ningan.

"Don't look back, be careful of accidents."

It is not worth looking back after one person dies.

Not long after walking, the little fat man suddenly pointed to the distance and said, "Ning An, I think I saw something."

Looking in the direction he was heading, there was a small white tent.

"Don't come close!"

Chen Ning'an felt like he was facing a formidable enemy and took the latter away.

"To be honest, I think hiding in that position should be quite useful."

Wang Youcai’s words actually reflect the thoughts of most people.

If you see a tent, hide in it and maybe you can stay there until dawn.

"Ning An, let's hide for a while, what are you looking for?"

As time passed, Wang Youcai became more and more afraid. They were the only ones wandering around in the silent forest, making them easy targets.

"found it!"

But at this moment, Chen Ningan quickly moved forward and saw a large open space in front of him.

There was no grass growing on the open space, it was all yellow mud, and it looked like there was nothing there.

There were some footprints wandering nearby, and the two also saw red oil from melted candles dripping into the woods.

"Someone came here, but they didn't dare to get close so they left."

Wang Youcai analyzed: "There must be something wrong when things are out of the ordinary. Ning An, let's take a detour."

"No, besides the fact that something is wrong, there may be something else."

Chen Ning'an did not leave, but carefully picked up a branch, poked it into the yellow mud, and turned it over.

His movements and behaviors were so irregular that if Wang Youcai hadn't trusted him, he would have thought that Chen Ning'an was possessed by a ghost.

After finding some yellow mud, Chen Ning'an could already feel the coldness on his shoulders getting stronger and stronger.

But the yellow mud actually temporarily dispelled some of the cold.

This yellow mud is effective!

He quickly dug up more and pasted it all over his shoulder to cover the bruises.

The evil spirit became quiet and its body gradually warmed up, which made him breathe a sigh of relief.

Suddenly, he thought of something and said hurriedly:
"Quick! Apply this mud all over your body immediately."

He had already gotten started during the conversation, not caring about the dirtiness in the mud.

Wangcai started to do it without hesitation.

“Be careful to coat the soles of your feet as well, leaving no gaps.”

Finally everything was done. The two men put a lot of soil in their pockets, and Chen Ningan continued on his way.

"Where are we going?"

Chen Ningan's eyes flashed: "Go to where the wind comes from!"

"What! Are you crazy?"

Wangcai was shocked: "If the wind blows, the lantern will go out, and someone will die."

"Seal the air vent of the lantern with mud, so the candle can burn without oxygen."

Chen Ning'an couldn't wait to develop slowly, his body wouldn't allow him to change quickly.

It was just a yellow mud beach, which could not satisfy his appetite at all.

"Xun wood represents wind, earth represents wealth, and wind is the greatest opportunity."

He looked outside the forest. There were too many secrets in this world, and what he was exposed to now was not the true extraordinary.
