Yin Yang Lantern Man

Chapter 16: The world appears, lighting lanterns at the wrong time
[Are the things from that world appearing too frequently recently? ]

Chen Ning'an put down his phone. Whenever he had time, he would browse the forum and look up information from another world.

After waiting for a long time until it was dark, Chen Ning'an picked up the lantern and the things he had prepared and walked out the door.

"Young man, remember to pay your rent tomorrow."

The landlord happened to be collecting rent and reminded him.

"Okay." Chen Ning'an smiled. He didn't have much interaction with the landlord.

"It's creepy to see you carrying nothing in your hands at night." The landlord looked at Chen Ningan's back and muttered:
"You're not going to turn on the light yet, are you reluctant to use up the battery of your cell phone's flashlight?"

She turned her head away, feeling a little uneasy: "This sickly ghost should die, right?"

Now that the person is dead, she won’t refund the deposit.

……

The streets were busy at night, and when the streets were not crowded yet, Chen Ningan put on a mask and hailed a taxi.

"Master, go to Fuchun Road."

"Why are you going to Fuchun Road?" The driver was a little reluctant: "That place is not peaceful recently, young man, why don't you go somewhere else?"

"Just go to Fuchun Road." Chen Ningan repeated.

"Then I'll take you to the bus stop before the intersection?" The driver was still hesitant, after all, a friend of his had an encounter with evil spirits there yesterday.

This spread among the taxi groups and no one wanted to go to Fuchun Road.

"Master, guess why I took a taxi instead of taking the bus?"

Chen Ningan picked up his mobile phone helplessly, scanned the code, and transferred one hundred yuan.

As the saying goes, money makes the world go round. It was a full hundred yuan, and the driver looked at it several times.

He normally only earned about ten or twenty coins for each trip.

"it is good!"

The driver gritted his teeth and said, "I'll take you there!"

"But let me make this clear first. I will take you to Fuchun Road. If you don't agree, I will return the money to you."

"also."

Chen Ning'an agreed, and the driver finally breathed a sigh of relief.

On the way, he still consoled him: "Little brother, you are very brave, but you don't know the taboos of our industry."

"This Fuchun Road is really weird. One of our friends hit something yesterday and is still in the hospital. He said he insisted on submitting his resignation letter even with IV drips in both hands and said he would never drive a sports car again."

Chen Ning'an didn't answer, he knew it was most likely the driver.

Fuchun Road is neither far nor near from here, and we finally arrived after about twenty minutes.

There were a lot of people in other places, but this road was pitch black when viewed from the intersection, with basically no people.

The businesses downstairs were also closed, and even the residents didn't turn on the lights.

"See, I told you it's weird!" The driver shuddered and said, "Little brother, how about I take you back and return your money?"

In the end, he was soft-hearted and didn't want to see Chen Ning'an get into trouble.

"You are a good person."

Chen Ning'an smiled and got out of the car holding the lantern.

After thinking for a while, he said, "Master, if you want your sports car to be safer, I suggest you go to the market and find a butcher to buy a butcher knife and put it in the car."

"Remember, the more pigs you kill, the better the knife becomes."

"What's so weird? Is it related to the butcher knife?"

The driver stepped on the accelerator and sped away.

Chen Ning'an shook his head, took out a lighter from his arms and started to light the lantern.

It's still early for midnight, not the right time.

He also did not close his eyes, but used the lantern light to illuminate his surroundings.

This is a method I learned on the forum. If it is really dangerous, you can blow it out in time.

"It's time to tell the divination."

After thinking for a while, Chen Ningan took out his mobile phone and used the time to make a hexagram. He used the four numbers of the Year of Rabbit, the nine numbers of the ninth month of the lunar calendar, and the twenty-sixth day of the lunar calendar, a total of thirty-nine numbers, divided by eight to get a remainder of seven, and got the upper hexagram Gen Earth.

Add the eleven numbers of the hour of Xu, a total of fifty, divide by eight and the remainder is two, which is the lower hexagram Dui Jin.

The Shan Ze Sun hexagram, then divide the whole hexagram by fifty and six, which is equal to two. If two lines are moving, it becomes the Shan Lei Yi hexagram of the Shan Ze Sun hexagram.

"The Sun hexagram represents the loss of the upper and the benefit of the lower. The mountains and lakes are connected, so the metal of Dui is not affected."

"The day branch is earth, which is a combination hexagram, but the whole hexagram is bad because it is restrained by wood. Wood represents thunder, and combined with the previous information about thunder striking wood...

There was a gleam in his eyes and he took out the Si Nan.

This alley, from north to south, is connected to the entire hexagram through fire, with Zhen wood generating fire, and fire generating the body hexagram Gen earth.

The fire is in the south, so you need to go south and go deep into Fuchun Road.

He took a breath and walked inside with the lantern.

The light of the lantern began to change.

The blood-red color shone in the alley, and the surrounding walls seemed to become illusory.

No, it was truly an illusion. As he walked forward, the vision around him became more and more complicated. The walls on both sides actually turned into trees.

A double world appeared before my eyes.

The trash can in Chen Ning'an's mobile lantern light box changed into a tombstone with bloody words and black-and-white photos engraved on it.

It was a young woman. Under the light of the red lantern, the portrait on the tombstone looked strange and cold.

The lantern moved, but Chen Ningan did not stop. He tried his best to avoid the trees along the way and continued to move forward.

Suddenly, he saw a tree appear in front of him.

It was blocked right in the middle, and under the tree, there were a few lanterns that had long been extinguished.

Someone got caught here.

The traces look fresh, so they may have been there within the past few days.

But there was no corpse. If it were an ordinary person, he would definitely pick up the red candle in the lantern.

If you want to move forward, you must pass this tree.

Chen Ning'an suddenly picked up the lantern and blew it out.

"call."

The whole world went dark in an instant, and he had walked deep into the dark alley.

There were walls of buildings on both sides, sealed with cement, and he was detached from that world.

This was the most appropriate method, he planned to cross the tree area in the present world and then continue to light the lantern.

Chen Ning'an was about to move forward, but suddenly he thought of something, so he took out his cell phone, turned on the flashlight, and illuminated the small area.

The next second, the light from the mobile phone illuminated a huge black shadow in front of him.

A pitch-black tree, twisted and weird, took root directly in the alley, blocking his way.

At this moment, Chen Ning'an felt his hand holding the phone go weak and cold sweat ran down his forehead. What would have been the result if he had walked forward without turning on the light?
Looking up from the ground, the tree filled the alley, and the branches below the crown turned out to be flesh and blood arms.

They are tall and strange, also pitch black, with leaves growing out of their fingertips, densely packed and layered.

Among the twisted and intertwined arms, Chen Ning'an saw the naked bodies of several lantern holders and their squeezed, deformed and bulging eyes.

"Fire is the key to success in the hexagram. I shouldn't put out the fire in my Li hexagram lantern."

Chen Ning'an didn't move. He didn't dare to retreat or look back.

Because just two seconds before Chen Ning'an wanted to turn around, he heard someone calling him from behind.

"Chen Ning'an."

The sound came from the tombstone he had just passed by.

The moment he extinguished the lantern and candle, he brought the things illuminated into the world!
Just after entering Fuchun Road and walking a short distance, we encountered such a horrible thing, which was exactly the same as the hexagram.

The Gen Gua has weak energy, and it both drains and restrains. If the day branch and the hour branch were not strong, he would definitely not dare to try it.

Chen Ning'an did not look back, he decisively chose to light the lantern again.
