Yin Yang Lantern Man

Chapter 218 Soul Corpse
"Talk about it."

Chen Ningan took a sip of coffee and wanted to frown, but then he spat out the liquid.

he does not like.

Ying Wuyi's eyes fell on Chen Ning'an and he said tightly, "We call the thing on you... a soul corpse."

"Soul corpses are very special things. They have all kinds of consciousness, behaviors, and cognitions just like humans, but they have no meaning of their own existence."

"His essence is dead. He can only be discovered when he relies on a human. That's why he is called a soul corpse."

"You don't need to explain so much." Chen Ning'an stared at her and said, "Just tell me the solution."

He needs to suppress his Yang Shen, otherwise he will always do all kinds of incredible things.

Just like now.

Ying Wuyi dropped some of the coffee in his cup and said to him, "You're back? Your spirit corpse had an attack just now, so I have to repeat what I said to him."

"Continue."

Chen Ning'an did not talk about those things. The Yin God is pure evil, and the Yang God is just the opposite. For him, his own Yuan Shen is the master and coordinates everything.

This was just a brief problem.

"Okay, I have a way to help you suppress the soul corpse, but you have to do one thing for me."

"explain."

Chen Ning'an's straightforwardness left Ying Wuyi speechless.

"This aspect of you is really not as comforting as the soul corpse."

"explain."

Chen Ningan said again in a heavier tone: "I don't want to waste my time on these things. Just make it simpler and faster for you to do it."

"It's actually very simple." Ying Wuyi stood up and sat down next to Chen Ningan, and a faint floral scent wafted into his nose.

"Accompany me to the imperial capital. You heard the conversation between Zhao Lin and me just now. My group of people are staring at me."

"Not interested, change another one."

Chen Ning'an's eyes were cold: "I don't plan to join your network yet. What's more, I have things to do in Mucheng."

After the Yangshen issue is resolved, he will start to deal with the S value issue of Mucheng.

When this problem is solved, the entire Mucheng will be truly in his hands. In the mythology, it can be regarded as the "position of the city god."

At that time, he will not have to worry about the "energy" problem when he is outside, and he will not need to eat a lot of food supplements like at the beginning.

That's really inelegant.

"I just have this small request, and you won't agree to it?"

Ying Wuyi sighed: "You really make people love and hate you. I guess it's not a good idea to say I'll tell you after I think it through, right?"

Chen Ning'an nodded slightly and admitted that he was too domineering.

But it was this touch of dominance that made Ying Wuyi intoxicated.

"Then let's make a deal. When you take control of this city, I want to conduct an experiment here."

Her eyes were fixed on Chen Ning'an, revealing a hint of madness and wildness.

There is also a trace of...want to watch a good show.

As expected, Chen Ning'an looked slightly surprised. How did she know that he was subtly controlling Mucheng?

Goalkeeper Liao Yun's actions were very secretive and should not have been discovered.

"My eyes can see everything."

Ying Wuyi tapped the tip of his nose with his finger, feeling a little disappointed.

She was very surprised that she didn't see Chen Ning'an's shocked result.

"This experiment must not interfere with my layout."

Chen Ning'an said to her: "If possible, you can quarantine me now."

Ying Wuyi agreed. She was not a person who would drag her feet. She just wanted to say a few more words to Chen Ningan.

"But this thing is not in my hands. I believe that with your ability, you will find it yourself."

Again she gave an address.

Chen Ning'an took out his mobile phone to receive the call and naturally added the contact information.

"No. 4 Jingxiu Avenue?"

His tone was questioning because the mastermind behind this was located at No. 106 Jingxiu Avenue.

"That avenue is very special." Ying Wuyi moved his coffee and took a sip.

"Would you like to continue shopping with me?"

"No, you're not a reliable person. You're always on the verge of being killed by me."

The murderous look on Chen Ningan's face flickered from time to time: "If I continue to stay with you, I will kill you if you go too far once."

He turned and left, and when he came out he already had the backup plans with him, so he didn't have to go back to get them.

"Use the things in your lamp realm?"

Ying Wuyi was shouting from far behind, but Chen Ningan had already left.

Things in the Lantern Realm? Ying Wuyi is not qualified yet.

Jingxiu Avenue is not well-known in Mucheng, on the contrary it looks very dilapidated.

"That's the old town, under someone else's jurisdiction, so I didn't pay much attention to it."

Xue Rudong was driving on the road and told Chen Ning'an what he knew: "But the city planning has already planned to demolish that area, because most of the buildings there are from the last century."

It is very old and built around a dirty stream. Excrement, garbage and waste are all in the stream and few people go there normally.

"This avenue is completely opposite to its name."

Chen Ning'an opened his eyes and found that he had arrived here.

He was used to it and looked around.

The patched windows and cracked walls looked dilapidated under the sunlight.

It is difficult to hear human voices in the dilapidated area. There are residents only on one side of the stream, and there are only streets and weeds on the other side.

"The number 4 sounds unlucky no matter how you listen to it."

Xue Rudong held an umbrella for Chen Ningan to shield him from the scorching sun.

Increasing Yang energy would upset the balance of his body, which Xue Rudong did very well.

"Ordinary people would only think that 4 and death have the same pronunciation, but in the Hetu Luoshu, the number 4 represents gold. The earth produces gold, so people with a gold destiny like to live here."

He talked to himself, as if he had returned to his previous life.

"4th floor, 4th number, 4th street, all of which are strong in gold, suitable for officials and arbitrary professions."

He looked at the street and narrowed his eyes slightly: "It seems that the people here are not simple."

The two soon found Building No. 4. It was not difficult to find. It was the fourth house from the avenue. The construction of this curtain city was quite complete.

The dilapidated brick house has only three floors, and the entrance door on the first floor is also a very old wooden door.

"This doesn't look like a place where people still live."

Xue Rudong squatted down and wiped the threshold of the wooden door with his fingers, but his fingertips were covered with black ash.

"It must be empty, sir. Do you think she has played a trick on us?"

"Although Ying Wuyi is a little bit jumpy in front of me, she is very sensible and knows what will happen if she plays tricks on me."

Chen Ningan reached out to push the door: "It doesn't matter whether there is anyone there or not. What matters is finding a solution to my problem."

This door was useless to him. Just as Chen Ning'an was about to exert force, he suddenly stopped and looked to the left.

No. 3 Jingxiu Avenue has only two floors. At this moment, an old man is standing in the dark door frame and staring at me with a cold look.

Xue Rudong saw it and felt that this look made him uncomfortable, while Chen Ningan heard a heartbeat. It was a very slow heartbeat, slower than that of a turtle.

He walked over there: "Xue Rudong, negotiate with him on my behalf."

Since I'm here and have wasted quite a bit of time, I'm not afraid to waste a little more time here.

"Sir, that person over there... that person over there doesn't seem to be a human."

Xue Rudong rubbed his eyes and saw the old man standing at the door just now, but in the blink of an eye he found that the old man had disappeared.

"He's not gone. He's still here."

Chen Ning'an frowned slightly, then took out a talisman.

"boom!"

There was a bolt from the blue sky, and the lightning went straight through his hand and into the door, right in the direction of the beating heart.

There was nothing to be seen in the room, so Xue Rudong turned around to look at Chen Ningan.

He noticed that the corners of Chen Ning'an's mouth were curled up, and he seemed very happy.

"Your heartbeat is accelerating, why don't you come out?"

Another talisman appeared in his hand: "I held back just now. If you don't want the house you live in to be destroyed, then let's talk."

He raised his arm: "I'll only give you three seconds."

The other person's heartbeat quickened a little, and finally a sound was heard.

"I'm almost old and dying, young man, shouldn't you give way to me?"

Xue Rudong saw the old man reappear in the door frame.

He had a hunched back and was wearing patched clothes.

He couldn't see his face clearly as he stood behind the door, but he could feel that he was at least in his eighties or nineties.

At this time, the old man was looking at the two of them with turbid eyes, especially the yellow talisman in Chen Ning'an's hand, which attracted his great attention.

"I didn't expect there were still people alive from the Night's Watch."

Chen Ning'an strode into the door. From the previous fight, he had basically figured out the man's background.

"I used to be a night watchman."

The old man corrected this sentence and sighed to Chen Ningan: "Aren't you going to enter my house in the old brothel? Why are you here?"

"Don't talk to me in such a polite tone. You were full of malice just now."

Chen Ning'an couldn't see, but those eyes were captivating and made the old man's expression change.

He was sensed, but he couldn't admit it. He could only laugh and say, "I'm just a useless old man. No matter what bad intentions I have, how can I hinder you Chaoyang people?"

"Tell me about number 4, um, that old brothel you mentioned."

Chen Ning'an held his hands behind his back and the talisman automatically floated to the top of the old man's head.

This man used to be a night watchman, but he is still alive today. So how did he become an ordinary person?
Does this have anything to do with the purpose of his visit?

"Young man, even if I tell you, will you believe it?"

The old man found the dirty bed in the room and sat down on it. There was mud, tobacco, and a greasy quilt on the bed.

A strong smell of old man and urine wafted into his nose as he moved.

The night watchman's old age was really miserable. Chen Ning'an saw the scraps in the corner, which should be the means of livelihood for this man.

"The person in Room 4 does not live in the present, he lives in the past and possibly in the future."

The old man said to Chen Ningan: "You can only find the old kiln at the right time. Hey, he is also a poor man."

As he was talking, the old man laughed and said, "The old brothel owner is also pitiful. He can only watch for his whole life and can no longer contact anyone."

This small building No. 4 is really magical.

"About time?"

Xue Rudong knew a little about this, and whispered to Chen Ning'an, "We have some things about this in Ye'an, and even some items that can interfere with time."

Chen Ning'an roughly knew what he said. Lu Yu should have used this thing to come from the past to the present.

Unfortunately, he is very weak among the Night Watchmen, or it can be said that he has not grown up yet, and now he is hung on the big words "Death Lamp Realm".

He could still struggle, but he couldn't get down no matter what. As time went by, it became more and more difficult for him to escape.

"Any other information?"

Chen Ning'an asked, and the old man shook his head: "How can you tell the time clearly? It's better for you to go and see it yourself, so you can see it more clearly."

The old man did not lie.

Chen Ning'an nodded slightly. The other person's heartbeat did not fluctuate. After becoming blind, he could be more meticulous about these things.

The two men turned and left, and Chen Ning'an threw something casually, which was a watch.

"This thing cost me tens of thousands, I might as well sell it to improve my life."

His steps were slightly cheerful.

"Tsk, a soul corpse?"

The old man picked up his watch, looked at it, and quickly closed the door. He couldn't let Chen Ning'an regret it.

Xue Rudong knew that Chen Ningan was no longer himself at this moment.

He knew what to do and didn't say anything. He just waited for the man to come back.

He had been doing this all day, but Chen Ningan sighed at the door and took the initiative to talk to him.

"Old Xue, you said that these night watchmen have devoted their entire lives to New Qin. Those who should have sacrificed and those who shouldn't have sacrificed are all gone. What do they want?"

"It's so pitiful that they have ended up like this in their old age. Looking at their present, I wonder if this will be the future for us lantern bearers."

His words revealed sympathy, but Xue Rudong didn't know how to respond.

Because no matter how he answers, it will be wrong. Even if it is right now, it will be wrong in a few minutes.

"Ah, why can't Xin Qin treat these night watchmen well? Take Lu Yu for example, I know what he is going through."

Are you starting to feel sorry for your enemies hanging on the wall now?
Xue Rudong still didn't dare to answer, and Chen Ning'an's voice gradually faded away.

Suddenly, he snorted coldly: "Waste."

"In the affairs of the mortal world, survival of the fittest is the law of nature. Heaven is cruel and treats all things as straw dogs. The night watchman brought this upon himself. What is there to sympathize with?"

He actually knew what just happened?

This is a world of difference compared to before.

Chen Ning'an did remember the words and behavior of the Yang God, which was similar to his previous understanding of the Yin God.

If you give him some time, he will be able to adapt.

Xue Rudong breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, he didn't say anything, otherwise he would be scolded too.

"Let's go. I want to see what's going on with number 4."

He reached out and pushed the door open, no, strictly speaking, he broke it.

The door was locked, but he broke both the lock and the bolt and gained entry.

Xue Rudong did not dare to hesitate and hurried to follow, and then they both found that the door had repaired itself.

It's not a restoration, but rather a "restore to its original state".

"The power of time?"

This door was no longer the same door they had come through, so everything was different from before.

The room is covered with wallpaper with exquisite patterns, which seems to have been decorated in recent years.

"Old kiln?"

Chen Ning'an called out softly, but he didn't hear any heartbeat or any movement.
