Yin Yang Lantern Man

Chapter 28: Seizing Opportunity with a Clever Plan

"It's polluted. What are these? How can they pollute the Yin of Blood?"

Dharma King Anjiang took the candle out of the lantern and looked closely at the bowl. The sawdust looked like silver sand in the bowl.

His eyes were already hanging down on his face, being burned by the candle flame, but Dharma King Anjiang seemed to be completely unaware of it and just kept staring.

He kept muttering, "No, no, it's not like that."

"Why, why? How can I drink? How can I drink?"

"No!"

Dharma King Anjiang sat up suddenly and put the bowl to his mouth: "Even if there are impurities, it doesn't matter. Yes, it doesn't matter. I can drink it."

He put his mouth to it and was about to drink it.

"puff!"

Suddenly, a sharp piece of wood pierced his face.

Dharma King Anjiang seemed to be under a spell of immobilization, unable to move.
His central nervous system was completely severed and his body completely lost the ability to move. The two eyes on his face moved slightly, but he could not see who it was.

A hand coated with black liquid reached out and picked up the silver bowl.

"Uh, uh..."

Dharma King An Jiang trembled and wanted to stop it, but he could not move.

The hand carried the silver bowl away and disappeared into the darkness.

After a while of footsteps, the sound disappeared.

"Uh……"

"Uh……"

Dharma King Anjiang kept twitching for an unknown period of time. Suddenly, the wooden sword flew backwards like a sharp arrow.

"what!"

He stood in the dim space and roared: "Who, who is it!"

I understand, he understands, so that's it, someone is plotting against him!
"Who is it? Whose guide are you?"

He shouted wildly, his nerves seemed to have gone out of control, and then he suddenly became quiet. Two seconds later, he raised the lantern again.

"You can't run far, you can't run far, I'm going to kill you! Kill you!"

There were the sounds of footsteps, the lanterns disappeared, and darkness engulfed everything.

Two minutes later, the lantern suddenly appeared again: "I found you, ha!"

The breathing was not like that of a human, and he was mad. King Anjiang was crawling on the ground, holding a lantern. One of his eyes had completely fallen out of its socket at some point.

There is nothing in this space, where is the person?
Dharma King Anjiang searched every inch with a lantern and made sure that there was really no one there.

He observed the corpses one by one, looking at each one for a long time, then piled them together and lit them with candles.

"Woo, woo, it really ran away, woo...

He ran out crying.

Half an hour later, the lantern flickered again.

"Still no, where are you? I can't find you, I'm going crazy!"

There is only the burning of flames, and everything is quiet here.

His lantern began to flicker. Was this a sign that he was about to leave the Lantern World?
"No! No! I can't find it, I can't find it!"

Dharma King Anjiang cried and ran out of this space like crazy, trying to use the last time to find clues.

But he didn't know that as soon as he left, sparks appeared from a pit underground where malicious monsters emerged.

“Crack…Crack…

A flame ignited the candlelight, and Chen Ningan crawled out of the cave.

It turned out that he had not left, and was guessed by His Holiness An Jiang.

But Dharma King Anjiang could not have guessed that he dared to hide in the passage where the monster appeared.

Until now, when the lanterns were flickering and the lantern show was about to end, I dared not come out.

He picked up the wooden sword struck by lightning. The front half was full of holes, corrosion and cracks. After some repairs, the sword could still be used.

The lantern grew dimmer and dimmer, and finally, he disappeared from here.

The moment he returned to the world, Chen Ning'an extinguished the candle, fearing that the Ye'an people would appear again and be ambushed by the Dharma King Anjiang.

Fortunately, he was overthinking. There were no living Nightmen or Lantern Bearers nearby. I don't know what happened in other places, but the East Gate was basically wiped out.

He said nothing and left the Pishan Peach Forest in the dark.

He chose to walk home to leave, fearing that he would be caught by His Holiness Anjiang.

"His abilities will be weakened in this world. Dharma King Anjiang should be unable to take care of himself. He is too badly injured."

Chen Ning'an thought that maybe he was too cautious.

But he still let King Anjiang see his hand in the end. For safety reasons, Chen Ning'an felt it was not excessive to be cautious.

Pishan Peach Forest is a scenic spot, but the road has been closed.

He walked for more than four hours before he found a ride.

"Brother, you are covered in mud. Did you fall into a ditch?"

The enthusiastic driver laughed, only because Chen Ning'an was covered in mud at this moment.

The fare was one hundred new Qin coins, which was why the driver was willing to give him a ride and even had the energy to flirt with him.

"It's so unlucky." Chen Ning'an continued the topic: "Master, please hurry up. I feel uncomfortable all over."

"Don't worry, my car is famously fast!"

Half an hour later, Chen Ningan was stuck in traffic. All the avenues leading into the urban area of ​​Zhongcheng were completely blocked.

"Ouch, that's a slap in the face." The driver's smile did not diminish:
"Just now a brother in the group said that they are checking the cars ahead. It seems that there are some dangerous people. Everyone should just go through it once, so it should be quick."

Check the car?

Chen Ning'an's heart skipped a beat, and his intuition told him that it was because of Dharma King An Jiang.

"Master, what time is it?" He suddenly asked an unclear question.

"It's past eight o'clock, what's wrong?" the driver asked puzzledly.

"I'm getting off the bus to use the restroom."

Chen Ning'an opened the car door and drove into the forest on one side.

"Hey, toilet time, it's great to be young."

The driver didn't care. It was a remote place, how could he run away? He had already paid the money.

However, Chen Ning'an really ran away, walking through the dense forest, constantly observing, and finally found a cliff.

There is a concave area underneath that can just cover itself.

Dharma King An Jiang is chasing him, he can't wait any longer and must have the means to protect himself as soon as possible.

He entered and slowly opened his clothes.

I saw a ball of bright black water wrapped in the clothes, it had not spilled, nor had it dried up, just like jelly.

There were little glittering things in there that looked like silver flakes.

He left the bowl in the lantern world and only wanted the essence.

"Dalai Lama Anjiang said that this can help him advance his inner strength. Can I also use it as a key to unlock the extraordinary?"

His usually calm heart was in turmoil. No one could remain calm in front of the extraordinary.

Chen Ning'an stood up tremblingly and broke off fifty branches nearby.

This is divination using yarrow. The number of Dayan is fifty, so there are fifty yarrow stalks. Take one yarrow stalk and put it on the side, which represents one part of the Tai Chi chaos that has not yet been divided.

There were forty-nine left, divided into two piles, which were constantly removed and clamped into fingers…

The final hexagram is Tianshan Dun's Tianfeng Gou.

Chen Ning'an's eyes lit up.

Chenshi is the dragon hour, when Qian metal is prosperous and Chenshi is the time when the dragon raises its head. The day's plan begins in the morning, etc., all refer to this Chen.

Auspicious divination, he took a long breath.

People are beside the mountain.

Today, he, Chen Ning'an, is about to truly step into the ranks of the extraordinary.

Details of yarrow divination:

Take fifty yarrows, remove one to form Tai Chi, then hold the forty-nine yarrows in your left and right hands, take one from your right hand and clamp it between the little finger of your left hand, then use your right hand to divide the yarrows in your left hand into groups of eight, and when the remainder plus the yarrows between the little fingers equals one, record it as Qian Gua, two as Dui Gua, three as Li Gua, four as Zhen Gua, five as Xun Gua, six as Kan Gua, seven as Gen Gua, and eight as Kun Gua. This is how you get the lower Gua. Repeat the same procedure again to get the upper Gua.
