Yin Yang Lantern Man

Chapter 40: Black and White Reversed Yin Hexagram
Weird, everything is weird. Uncle Liu wiped the sweat off his face and went upstairs. No, he had to lock the door after entering the room. This place felt like a ghost town in a niche curiosity movie.

"I live in 205, you can live in 206."

He handed the card to Chen Ning'an, but Chen Ning'an shook his head.

"I'll stay in Room 205. I'm quite hungry tonight."

"Can you eat normally now?" Uncle Liu did not insist. Chen Ning'an, a living person, gave him a lot of sense of security.

"Yeah, eat normally."

Chen Ning'an's answer made Uncle Liu excited, and his fear of the surrounding environment was dispelled a little.

Once it is researched, even if it cannot solve the disease, it can greatly alleviate it.

The Nobel Prize seems to be beckoning to him, and success is not far away!

That one ten years ago...it was so good!

After saying goodbye to Chen Ning'an, he couldn't wait to go into the room and turn on the light. As the light came on, the long-lost sense of security finally returned.

“There’s no power outage.”

He went to the window and looked, and there was still no one on the street.

Just then, he heard footsteps outside the door.

The soundproofing of this hotel is not good, a thought flashed through Uncle Liu's mind, and at this moment, he heard the door lock being opened by someone from outside.

Is it someone from the hotel?
The receptionist was seen groping around the room with eyes wide open: "Sir, are you there?"

She said with a hint of fear in her voice: "I'm so sorry, the power in this room suddenly went out. I don't know what happened. I'll take you to another room now."

"I'm right in front of you." Uncle Liu was a little confused, but his voice scared the receptionist so much that she screamed with a stiff face.

"Oh! I'm so scared. Come with me, sir. It's too dark in here."

black?
Uncle Liu looked unhappy. This was obviously very bright. "If you keep making jokes, they won't be funny anymore."

However, the front desk really took him to open a new room. Looking at the pitch-black darkness inside, the front desk clerk still said expressionlessly: "That's right, the power in this room is not out."

As the receptionist left, Uncle Liu stood in the darkness and felt his blood run cold.

What the hell is going on? Nothing is right!
Just then, his cell phone rang. It was his friend calling.

[You're here? It's just right for us to go out for breakfast. ]

"What's for breakfast this late at night?"

Uncle Liu replied by voice and was about to close the door and turn on the light, but then a cell phone notification sounded at the door.

"Ding dong."

He clearly saw a dark figure standing in the darkness, fiddling with something.

There came the sound of my own WeChat message.

"What's for breakfast this late at night?"

"Second Brother Liu, don't scare me." Uncle Liu's teeth were chattering, his heart was beating wildly, and he could hear the sound clearly.

"Old Three, let's go have a midnight snack."

The figure made a sound, but it was so harsh in Uncle Liu's ears.

Just as he was about to collapse in fear, a red light illuminated the aisle.

Chen Ning'an came to Uncle Liu's room holding a red lantern.

However, his words also made Uncle Liu collapse!
"It's still late, let's go have a midnight snack together."

At this moment, Uncle Liu had the urge to jump out of the window and escape, but Chen Ningan under the big red lantern continued to speak:

"If you don't come with me, don't regret it when you die."

dead!
Uncle Liu was scared, but Chen Ning'an was the only living person and the lantern was the only source of light.

He came to the door tremblingly and saw that his brother Liu had a stiff face, but his tone was extremely enthusiastic although he had no expression.

"Third brother, you are finally here. I feel much more at ease now, brother."

Let's go and have a look at the situation tomorrow morning.

He still had black and white reversed in the red lantern light, but he did not say that the lantern light made him blind.

“Are you confused?”

Chen Ning'an's smile was more expressive, but still creepy. "Don't panic, I have a lot of questions too, let's go downstairs and talk."

The lantern and candle that Chen Ning'an was holding were exactly the tools for holding a lantern.

However, this time when holding the lantern, the surrounding environment did not change, making it difficult to tell whether it was in the real world or in the world of lanterns.

If his lantern wasn't broken, then...the lantern was abnormal again this time.

He sensed the presence of the lantern bearers upstairs, but they did not move, as if they were avoiding something.

On the way, Chen Ning'an suddenly patted Uncle Liu on the shoulder.

"I'm asking you to name a number now, what would you say?"

"88."

Uncle Liu spoke almost subconsciously, this is not a number.

Chen Ningan used the same hexagram for the two numbers. Kun represents earth, and the hexagram derived from numbers is innate. There is no need to add the time. It is the Lei Di Yu hexagram of Kun representing earth.

At first glance, this hexagram is all Kun Earth and Yin Yao, without any sign of life.

Only when the hexagram changes and a yang line appears at the fourth line, Kun earth will turn into Zhen wood.

This kind of hexagram can be said to be extremely yin.

Especially now it is dark, which is of utmost importance. As the saying goes, everything will turn into the opposite when it reaches its extreme. To discuss good and bad luck, this hexagram must be read in reverse.

When a yin line becomes a yang line, then Kun's Yu hexagram becomes Qian's Xiaoxu hexagram.

In this hexagram, metal is strong and too much metal will lead to extreme cold, with the northwest being the gate of heaven and the southeast being the door of the earth.

They are in...the underground!
This is no longer the present world.

Chen Ning'an looked at the hexagram. From the perspective of good and bad luck, Qian Jin was not affected by the attack, so he should be safe. He just had to avoid the eldest daughter in the southeast.

But according to the image, Kun's Yu hexagram represents heavy yin earth, with earth buried on earth and trees growing on the earth. If you want to leave, you have to go east?

Or, if you go southwest and see a tree, it will be auspicious.

"Ning An, why are you asking me this suddenly?"

Uncle Liu asked, he was intentionally avoiding his second brother.

The expression on Brother Liu's face has not changed from the beginning to now. He is no different from a robot, or even a stiff corpse.

He was afraid, and he felt much more at ease after talking to Chen Ning'an.

"Nothing, look around to see if there are any trees nearby."

Tree?
Uncle Liu looked around, and he couldn't find a single tree in the pitch-black darkness.

All objects in the light of their lanterns were buildings and concrete roads.

Is the greenery in South Cinema City so bad? He remembered that it was completely different the last time he came here.

After walking for a while, they came to a shop called Zhou Zhou Breakfast.

"Boss, give me three bowls of soy milk and three baskets of steamed buns."

Brother Liu, who had a stiff face the whole time, suddenly shouted, as if he had just started, and scared Uncle Liu so much that his shoulders trembled.

He subconsciously looked at Chen Ningan, only to find that the latter was very interested in the menu of Zhou Zhou breakfast.

Under the light of the lantern, the picture of the soy milk was blood red, and the pictures of the buns all had eyes.

The sound of chopping meat could be heard in the shop, but there was no sign of boiling water or cooking. Ten minutes later, three baskets of steamed buns and three bowls of soy milk appeared in front of everyone.

Three bowls of soy milk, blood red, had already solidified.

There were only three buns, which were not cooked at all. There were three eyes with eyelashes on them as decoration.

The boss apologized to them with empty eyes: "I'm sorry, we're out of fresh food, so we used yesterday's ingredients, but don't worry, they are definitely not expired."

"what!"

Uncle Liu screamed in horror and kept slipping on the stool. There were no eyes in the boss's eye sockets!

Chen Ningan picked up the bun and held him down.

"Eat your meal well, why are you yelling?"
