Yin Yang Lantern Man

Chapter 20 Lightning Strikes Wood

As the two men approached, Chen Ning'an frowned.

He pressed down the exploded hair on his head. They were already very close. Although the lightning was striking the trees, it was inevitable that it would strike them.

"You want to get closer to that tree?"

A Jiao saw Chen Ning'an's expression and guessed that he had a need for this tree.

This is not surprising. Although this world is full of dangers, it is also full of opportunities.

A Jiao saw with her own eyes someone pick up the fruit that was offered to them and eat it. It was a peach.

On that day, the man's body began to change. No matter whether he was hit by a knife or a gun, he would recover quickly.

"Ah."

Still the same word, Chen Ning'an stopped moving forward with the lantern in his hand.

It was very close, just seven steps away.

But he didn't dare to take these seven steps no matter what.

The Mountain Thunder Yi of Shan Ze Sun, thunder overcomes the body of the hexagram Gen earth, this thunder overcomes him!

Do we have to give up like this?
Chen Ningan was unwilling to give up. The lightning-struck wood was so rare to come across. Moreover, the lightning-struck wood here was constantly struck, making it half alive and half dead.

This will have the greatest effect. It is difficult for him to give up.

Looking back, the wildfire in the distance couldn't burn over. Where could he find fire to pass through?

"Let me help you."

Suddenly, Ajiao beside him spoke. The woman tied up her hair to hide the crack on her head.

"What do you want? I'll get it for you."

She looked at Chen Ning'an with a smile and a dead look in her eyes.

The lantern bearers, they don’t have any bright eyes or white teeth, they are just a bunch of short-lived ghosts, dying people.

By the way, Li is a middle-aged woman.

But Chen Ning'an didn't understand why she wanted to help him.

"Don't look at me like that." A Jiao smiled and said, "I think you're amazing. I want to invest in you."

"I will help you complete some things that you can't do. If you are kind, please take care of me."

Praying for kindness from a lantern holder is simply wishful thinking. We are all dying, so who will keep faith with you?
But she still said so. Chen Ning'an guessed that she probably didn't have enough money to suppress the ghost's virginity next time.

But it must be said that this woman left a good impression on him.

"I won't let you suffer any loss."

Chen Ning'an took out the Vajra Talisman from his arms and stuck it on her body, then covered it with the giant power tattoo.

He poured out ten special medicine pills for the latter to hold in his mouth, and indicated that he should just break off a branch:

"You don't need to take too much, one is enough."

Everyone has his price, and Chen Ning'an has his own scale in his heart.

"Don't worry, I'm not alive now."

A Jiao felt the power in her body, it was really strange, were they just two props he attached to her body?
She had never seen such a prop before, and basically any extraordinary power gained in this lantern world came at a price.

As soon as she stepped into the seven-step range, there was a loud "boom" and a bolt of lightning struck Ajiao directly.

In an instant, dense black lightning patterns appeared on her body.

Chen Ning'an's heart skipped a beat. Just as he expected, he would be struck by lightning within seven steps.

But even with foresight, he still has to take risks, because nothing comes easily.

"Are you okay?" He shouted in a low voice. It was impossible for anyone to survive such a lightning.

"fine."

Ajiao was still able to answer him, her whole body was smoking, but strangely enough, the black lightning patterns on her body were fading.

It should be the ghost that broke the body that is exerting its power. With the characteristics of a ghost, it is not easy to kill a human.

And this effect can only be achieved with the blessing of one's own giant power tattoo and Vajra Talisman.

Ajiao took another step, and lightning struck again!
Smoke was coming out of her whole body, but she refused to die and kept moving forward with difficulty.

Thunder and lightning continued to fall, and she tortured herself, finally breaking off a branch about the length of her forearm.

No matter how many there are, they can’t be folded. They are so high. It’s almost time. Chen Ning’an shouted hurriedly: “Come back quickly!”

He admitted that he was moved by this woman. A Jiao took every step with lightning speed, and when she finally walked to his side, her body was almost falling apart.

The thing inside her was quickly repairing its body, and after a long time it managed to stand up.

"Are you ok?"

Chen Ning'an's voice became much softer. A Jiao shook her head and smiled despite the severe pain: "Fortunately, I have fulfilled my mission."

She handed him the branch that was as long as her forearm: "Here, the branch you asked for."

The branch is about the length of your forearm and the thickness of three fingers, from thick to thin.

There was a slight warmth when he touched it, and Chen Ningan felt that all the coldness in his body was dispelled.

The wood struck by lightning is extremely yang and fierce. It is a truly good thing, and the purpose of this trip has been achieved.

"Let's leave this place."

There was nothing around, so the two of them blew out the candles.

Looking back, we were already on the opposite side of the alley on Fuchun Road.

It was not surprising for passers-by to see them, as they were probably drunk at this hour.

"Do you want me to take you there?" Chen Ning'an felt a little guilty. After all, the two of them were just strangers.

"No, you must remember to help me suppress the ghost next time."

She looked at Chen Ning'an carefully before slowly leaving.

"it is good."

……

Back at the rental house, Chen Ning'an calculated the gains and losses.

The price was a Vajra Talisman, one and a half months' worth of special medicine, an animal skin tattoo, and several red candles with uneven burning.

Oh, and a coat.

He took off his coat and threw it carelessly into the trash can.

In addition to the special medicine, the total cost reached a staggering 70,000 to 80,000 yuan.

In return, he got a fruit from an unknown plant, two red candles, 60,000 yuan in cash from Ajiao, and the target of this trip, the lightning-struck wood.

Chen Ning'an first picked up the fruit and looked at it carefully. It was only the size of a fist and appeared in the woman's coffin.

Maybe there will be a harvest if you sow?

Or...eat it?
Chen Ning'an is skeptical for the time being and plans to browse the forums or stores to see the conclusion.

Finally, it’s the highlight of today!
Lightning strikes wood!
The surface of this wood is black and yellow, it has been carbonized, and has irregular lines on it.

The fractures are neat and very "hard".

The forearm is long. Chen Ning'an gestured and thought it might be able to be used as a magical weapon.

He slowly polished it with a knife, but could only scrape off some powder.

At that time, Ajiao had a powerful tattoo and a Vajra Talisman, plus the ghost in her body could be broken off, so it was normal that she was a little difficult.

Chen Ning'an was not in a hurry. While polishing it, he looked up the information about the fruit.

Enter Red Candle Cemetery, and soon a series of information will appear.

[The truth about the cemetery: a large group of wives’ graves. ]

【Some thoughts on imprisoning the possessed lantern bearer. 】

[Red Candle Cemetery, details you don’t know. ]

There were so many posts that Chen Ningan scrolled through them for a while before he found his target.

[The mystery of the burial objects in the coffin. ]

After clicking it, there is a detailed explanation worth 688 new Qin coins.

[As we all know, the inside of a coffin is the place that can best solve puzzles, and the Red Candle Cemetery is one of them.

Through our team's observation, we found that the coffins in the cemetery are basically the same. Except for the red candles that appear for no reason, the burial objects are generally some clothes and jewelry.

However, some things are rare, such as this fruit (picture). 】
