Yin Yang Lantern Man

Chapter 299: Return to the Void Monk
After this move, the hill quickly disappeared from the sight of Nangong Fangyun and the others, and they themselves also suffered terrible consequences.

The fox fairy's head became blurry, as if covered by something. Liao Yun had already launched an attack.

He used to be afraid of the dark, but after meeting Chen Ning'an, his condition improved rapidly. After retaining his consciousness, he finally lost control.

Even because of Chen Ning'an's talismans and his methods, he vaguely touched upon the nightmare.

The fox fairy in front of him gave him the feeling that he was somewhat out of control, but he was definitely not completely out of control.

Under his pen, the fox fairy struggled, and the shadow turned into gas, and finally drilled out from Nangong Fangyun's body.

"Huh...huh..."

Nangong Fangyun gasped for breath, and his facial features gradually recovered.

The fox fairy showed her true abilities.

Liao Yun sighed: "If I hadn't fully recovered, you would have died."

His attacks were hard to defend against. He made a living by painting, used paintings as food, and used living creatures as paint. The fox fairy was able to recover purely by luck because he chose a time when he was weak.

"I really don't mean any harm."

Liao Yun said again: "My master told you to go to Loulan County. This is my reminder again."

Chen Ning'an's order was for the first echelon. As he spoke, Nangong Fangyun's face looked grim. Master Liu Fu turned around. Behind them, there was a quiet night.

It’s so dark…there’s nothing at all.

Liao Yun painted the portrait with black: "I never restrict your freedom. I hope you will obey me."

Master Liu frowned, and he took out a talisman from his bosom...

"and many more."

Nangong Fangyun stopped him.

"Let's go and follow Zhushuili to Loulan County."

He had read in some books that evil spirits did not harm people, but had a purpose.

There is no solution to the evil until its purpose is resolved. Their current situation is very similar.

In his opinion, Liao Yun was just such an evil spirit and there was no need to waste time here.

"Let's go to Loulan Prefecture first."

He couldn't see through the darkness behind him and didn't dare to test it.

"If it's a fight to the death, I may be able to kill you."

He snorted coldly and led everyone away from here.

The county lieutenant was trembling all over. This was the first time he had encountered such a strange thing.

The evil spirits encountered in the past were basically possessed villagers and common people, who at least still maintained their human appearance.

They can only bite randomly, or look disgusting and have greater strength.

But the flying and moving scene before him was difficult for his brain to digest and his mind was in a state of confusion.

Liao Yun smiled and remained polite.

"Well, I wish you all a safe journey."

His purpose was achieved.

Nangong Fangyun and his companions were walking further and further away. He was just about to pick up his paintbrush to reconstruct the darkness in the painting and paint out the mountains, trees and rivers that appeared before.

Suddenly, footsteps were heard in the darkness. Liao Yun was startled and became alert.

"This is the first time I have seen such evil."

A man slowly walked out of the darkness, with a faint light on his body, which prevented the darkness from getting close to his body.

It turned out to be a Taoist priest.

Liao Yun lowered his head and found that his body was slowly emitting black air under the dim light.

It was as if he had been directly exposed to the world before, feeling extremely uncomfortable and weak all over his body.

He picked up the brush and was about to draw a protective shield for himself when the Taoist swept the whisk in his hand, and the paint in Liao Yun's hand fell to the ground, scattering several large and small pieces of color.

He raised his head and frowned: "Who are you?"

"I am just a wandering Taoist priest, my Taoist name is Mingyu."

Master Mingyu took two steps forward and marveled at it.

"What an evil spirit! It's amazing that you can resist harming others."

He has been here for a few days and has been observing quietly. He has found that this evil spirit not only does not harm people, but also helps the villagers deal with it.

The door god pattern on the door is of him.

"That's ridiculous."

Liao Yun smiled, but the next moment, Master Mingyu pointed to him.

"But I still have to accept you. Evil spirits have their own evil places. Just because you don't harm people now doesn't mean you won't harm people in the future."

"For your sake, and for the sake of the people of Daqi, I will save you from the afterlife."

As the finger pointed, Liao Yun's body became transparent and became smaller and smaller. Finally, the Taoist priest put it into a bamboo tube.

Looking at the place again, I found that the body of an old talisman master had appeared there without me noticing.

"So smooth?"

Master Mingyu looked at the bamboo tube and suddenly smiled: "You do have some tricks."

He stretched out his hand and pointed again, and all the door gods on the doors of every household in the Lookout Pavilion flew over, getting smaller and smaller, and finally were collected into the bamboo tube.

Liao Yun finally appeared again, his face changed. The stimulation here was even greater than that in the outside world.

Without the old talisman master's body to protect him, he felt as if he was being roasted on fire and wailed in pain.

"let me out!"

The clothes on his body melted and fell like paint, and the paper images of the door gods flew up and hit the inner wall of the bamboo tube.

Master Mingyu's hands trembled and he could hardly suppress it.

He immediately made a hand gesture, formed a Yin-Yang seal, and slapped the bamboo tube: "Still want to struggle?"

Inside, Liao Yun felt like he was hit on the back of his head by a huge rock. He suddenly fell straight down and black air began to emanate from his body. The Yin-Yang Seal suppressed him so much that he had no power to resist.

"hehe."

Mingyu Zhenren sat cross-legged and began to recite the scriptures:
"The True Scripture of Lu Zu, who saves people from adversity and prolongs their lives, and proves his sainthood

Once it is finished, Liao Yun will be reincarnated even if he is not dead.

"Friend, it's not good to treat my people like this, right?"

Suddenly a voice came out from his bamboo tube. Taoist Mingyu frowned. He had clearly subdued the evil spirit Liao Yun.

This voice doesn't seem to be the evil one from before.

As soon as the thought came to his mind, Mingyu suddenly felt a sense of crisis. He hurriedly took off the bamboo tube on his body and threw it outside.

"boom!"

As soon as it was thrown away, the bamboo tube exploded, the Yin-Yang seal shattered, and the bamboo tube talisman exploded into pieces.

Two evil spirits appeared at that place.

One of the standing evil spirits grabbed Liao Yun and threw him into the old talisman master's body, then turned his gaze away.

Another evil spirit that retains its sanity.

Mingyu's expression changed a little.

Humans are able to maintain their advantage over evil spirits because they have wisdom.

There have been few evil spirits in history that can think like humans, but today he encountered two of them.

Encountering evil spirits one after another gave him a bad feeling. What went wrong?

"Well, I'll take you in as well."

He swung the whisk, intending to use the same trick again, but this time it seemed to fail.

This evil spirit was different from the evil spirits he usually saw. Chen Ningan's body flashed with golden light. It turned out that he had cast a golden light spell, which covered his body and was not disturbed by the whisk.

"Ah!"

Ming Yu Zhenren was really frightened. What did he see? The Golden Light Curse!
"Don't make such a fuss."

Chen Ningan sneered: "You can practice the Golden Light Curse, but the evil spirits can't practice it?"

"But you are an evil spirit! How can you cultivate it?"

Ming Yu Zhenren's face changed: "If that's the case, then you can't be allowed to stay!"

He lifted the whisk in his hand, and the dust strands solidified and turned into a dust sword.

There was a scent of incense flowing on the sword, and it was an extraordinary talismanic weapon. It chopped towards Chen Ningan!
"Five thunders obey orders!"

Chen Ning'an raised his hand, and thunder from the sky fell instantly, directly knocking Master Mingyu back repeatedly.

"You also know thunder magic!"

This was so horrifying that Taoist Mingyu was afraid to step forward for a moment.

"You are almost exactly the same as the old Taoist priest before."

Chen Ningan looked at him and said, "You have the aura of God on you. It would be bad if I killed you. Go away."

He was still wary and had many misunderstandings about this place.

Those who worship gods and have the Dharma lineage are disciples of gods. Although they have no real status, they still have to save face for the other party.

Chen Ning'an planned to let him go.

However, Taoist Mingyu had no intention of letting Chen Ning'an go.

"Who do you think you are? You are just an evil spirit. Just because you secretly learned a few Taoist techniques, you really think you are a human being?"

Ming Yu Zhenren took off his coat and said: "No matter how poor I am, I am still a Return to Void cultivator. Today I want you to see what Return to Void is!"

"What? An orthodox monk!"

Return to weakness?

Chen Ning'an stopped and looked around. He had never seen the orthodox Return to the Void.

Even he himself thought that he was still in the stage of refining his spirit and had only opened the third flower.

The magical power from Master Mingyu flowed, tearing open a world. With a thought, the world in front of Chen Ning'an was changed.

He saw scriptures surrounding the sky, and above each scripture there was a little golden man.

The little man was reciting scriptures, including "The Great Cavern Scripture", "The Tao Te Ching", "The Wonderful Scripture for Saving People", and so on.

These scriptures fill this space. Is this the return to the void?

Chen Ningan saw more. This was a world that Master Mingyu had brought over, or rather... a domain!

A very strange thing.

"Today, I will refine you alive!"

As Master Mingyu's magical power flowed, the scriptures emitted boundless and incredible light in all directions, all shining on Chen Ning'an!
His expression changed, and endless black gas burned out of his body. He was enduring the torture of a burning hell.

This is to burn him to death bit by bit.

Master Mingyu held the magic formula in his hand tightly and said to him:

"This is my Demon Refining Void. Not to mention you, even if it's a demon, you have to die cleanly in this area!"

Chen Ning'an's whole body was burning and he screamed slightly, but it was not too painful.

"I have already built a body that is not vulnerable to being cut into pieces."

He was panting, not caring about his own condition, but reaching out to touch this piece of demon refining void.

“Is this the orthodox method?”

“Is this what I want to achieve, the path I want to take?”

His tears flowed, the emotions were too complicated.

There is reluctance, jealousy, regret, humiliation, but more of it is the loss of not getting what you want.

"I stumbled, crawled, and advanced in the darkness with a lantern in hand, and finally I touched upon the true magic."

His tears were burned by the golden light, and then he looked at Master Mingyu and said, "I really envy you for having such good luck."

"You evil creature, you are still in the mood to talk at this time. I wonder how long you can hold on!"

Taoist Mingyu was unmoved, but Chen Ning'an suddenly questioned him:

"Why do you call me a beast?"

"I am also a living person. I can think, I have my own feelings, I have my own dreams and goals. Why should I be called a beast?"

He quickly approached Taoist Mingyu, and the black energy in his body began to be eroded by the golden light, his bones became white, and his tendons were burned.

"Everything I have now is the result of my best efforts. What right do you have to call me a beast?"

The distance between the two was already very close, and Master Mingyu was shocked. This is a demon! This is a demon!

His Demonic Energy has been burning for such a long time but he is still not dead. He must be a demon!
The lowest level of evil spirits is white evil, which has basically little impact. Ordinary people with sufficient qi and blood only need to pay some price in life to deal with it.

After that, there is the Gray Evil. This level can only be dealt with by an entry-level Qi cultivator who has reached the Essence Refining stage.

The talisman master of Daqi can be considered to be at the level of refining essence.

Afterwards, the black evil was even more difficult to deal with at this time. It was like a human drum in the hills. When it was struck, it was a great disaster.

It is necessary to go through the Qi transformation stage of refining essence into Qi to deal with it. Even so, if a Qi transformation cultivator or talisman master is not adequately prepared, it will cost a huge price to resolve it.

Qing Xie is even more powerful, corresponding to the Qi Refining stage. Generally, the Qi Refining cultivators at this time are no longer able to deal with him, and they must call upon several fellow Taoists of the same level.

After Qingxie, there is Xuexie, who corresponds to the Divine Transformation cultivator.

After the blood evil, it is called the red disaster, which corresponds to the soul refining. After the red disaster, it is the devil! It is no longer an ordinary thing, analogous to the immortal god, and only the returning cultivator with a complete soul can resist it.

If it corresponds to the Qi of Chen Ningan's Qi-gazing technique, the ones before black mean not remembering, black is the guide level, blue is the fear of darkness level, blood is the realm master level, and red disaster means out of control, and the devil should be a nightmare.

At this time, Ming Yu Zhenren was extremely lucky that he had trapped a demon by accident! If he could refine it today, he could quell the disaster for the world of Daqi.

If this were made known to others, it would be recorded in the history books, and even reported to the heavens to praise the great merits of Chunyang Lu Zu!

The demon had already walked in front of him and was almost burned to death.

But he was smiling, completely different from his previous pitiful and sad expression.

"Hey, Master Fanxu, you are awesome. Unfortunately, this is not my real body. If you want to come and see me, I will be waiting for you at Broken Mountain in Loulan County."

He was completely burned, and a piece of paper slowly floated down in the golden light of the scriptures.

That was the burnt door god paper, and all the patterns on it had disappeared.

Master Mingyu was stunned, and his Demon Refining Void slowly closed.

He refined it for a long time, but in the end he only refined a piece of paper?

"Is this the devil?"

Master Mingyu shuddered, and suddenly he didn't want to come anymore. He wanted to leave and hide.

We must find a Fanxu monk to help us defeat this demon!

"No, my disciple also went to Loulan County!"

Suddenly he remembered that his disciple Liu Yuxi followed Nangong Fangyun and went to Loulan County along the Zhushui River.

They were heading to Broken Mountain.

"Oh no!"

Master Mingyu set off quickly, hoping it was still in time.

When he left, he glanced at the old talisman master, took out a yellow talisman and pasted it on to suppress it. He couldn't deal with it at this moment, as his disciple's life was at stake!

In Loulan County, at the broken mountain, Chen Ning'an had already heard voices coming from far away along the river bank.

He turned his head and reached out to grab a piece of burnt black ash.

"Return to the Void?"
