Yin Yang Lantern Man

Chapter 91: No Door

In the silent darkness, I couldn't help but want to open my eyes.

Chen Ning'an slowly took a step back, and the voice rang out.

The other party also moved a step.

He took another step back and the other party took another step forward, and the situation between the two sides was instantly reversed.

Chen Ning'an knew that the other party had a way of sensing, but he obviously had no means.

Do you want to open your eyes?

He was hesitant and not sure whether his Vajra Talisman Body could withstand the damage. Many people had problems opening their eyes before, and it was unknown what the situation would be now.

Chen Ning'an took a deep breath, took out the lightning-struck branch in one hand and the talisman in the other, ready to deal with any emergency at any time.

Just when he was about to take the risk, he suddenly heard footsteps in the distance.

Is it the lantern bearer?
Apart from the wind, there was deathly silence in my ears, and the footsteps were accompanied by panting.

It was a person, a living person. Chen Ning'an heard the footsteps of the thing in front of him again.

“Da… Da…

The sound of someone stepping on the dry grass was like a death sentence, and it was not far in front of him, less than two meters away.

Because he saw in his vision after closing his eyes, a dark shadow flashed across the red light of the lantern, and he also felt a chill.

Cold corpse realm?
Chen Ning'an didn't move, and the footsteps over there gradually began to overlap.

"who!"

The disordered breathing of a human being was followed by a stern shout:
"I'm warning you, don't mess around, I'm holding an AK in my hand!"

Chen Ning'an first heard the sound of metal being loaded, and then the voice of the man holding the lantern became trembling.

"You are...what are you!"

Then, there was the sound of hot weapons firing. Chen Ningan felt pain in his back and felt a force being transferred.

He was hit by a stray bullet.

But a scream came from the man holding the lantern over there, it was so shrill, as if he had met the most terrifying devil.

"Ah! Ah! What is this? It's disgusting. No!"

The loud noise should have attracted that thing's attention, right?

Chen Ning'an took a step forward and walked away into the distance.

You can't open your eyes in this place. It's an extremely scary rule.

He believed that there must be something surrounding them that would attack anyone who opened their eyes, and it was most likely the so-called territory master.

Of course, it could be something else. Chen Ning'an was looking for a way and trying to open his eyes.

Of course not here, but...the house where it used to be.

When he came here for the first time, he couldn't tell the directions and just kept walking forward until he came across a house. The writing brush he uses to draw talismans was also found in that house.

“Just keep going straight from here.”

He spoke softly, not to himself but to make sure of his presence.

This is very important.

There was no further sound along the way.

There was no danger in his vision, but Chen Ning'an's pace was getting faster and faster, and he did not dare to stop.

He felt a chill creeping up his shoulders, thinking that he might have been noticed, and he needed to find that room.

If it were an ordinary person, he would probably be completely at a loss and not know what to do.

But Chen Ningan was different. The hexagram he had divined before, Tai Zhi Lin, guided him in the direction.

The Kun earth in the hexagram represents a house. One should go to the southwest where Kun is located, which will be beneficial to oneself.

He kept heading to the right and front without changing direction, and gradually felt the roughness of the road.

About to arrive?
He was not sure to keep going forward.

Until the light in the field of vision suddenly became bright, it was something reflecting the light of the red candle.

The coldness of his body would have frozen Chen Ning'an stiff in the past, but for his current body, it only slightly affected his movements.

Reaching forward, he felt the texture of the wooden board.

Continuing to explore, he moved around the house and roughly estimated that it was about 180 square meters in size.

He also touched the door. Was it the same door that he had pushed open before?
He tried to recall it carefully, but still had no impression and did not dare to push the door.

He was stuck in this stalemate, unable to move forward or backward.

What will be inside after you open the door?
Maybe... it's danger, maybe, it's opportunity.

He finally withdrew his hand, of course, not giving up, but groping out another candle from his arms.

Unlike the candles in the Red Candle Cemetery, this was his trophy, a white candle.

As soon as the lantern was lit, he immediately felt a heart-wrenching pain all over his body. The effect of the special medicine in the past proved that it had been ignited.

Chen Ning'an quickly opened his eyes, clenched the talisman tightly, and observed the room.

he saw...

The white candle was extinguished in an instant. There was only a blink of an eye to observe. Chen Ning'an silently pushed open the door in front of him, and then used something to prop it up and seal it. Only then did he dare to open his eyes.

What caught my eye was a building that looked like a tiled house from the 1960s and 1970s, with a ground made of compacted mud mixed with lime, and walls built with marble blocks.

There were only old tables, chairs, benches and some furniture in the room.

"I guessed right." Chen Ning'an felt a chill on his back and took out a white candle.

I just took a look at it just now, but Bai Zhu was only a little longer than his finger joints.

This room is very strange. There are no windows and you can't see what's outside.

Chen Ning'an sat down and began to sort out the information he had obtained so far.

In the realm of cold corpses, the previous coldness was not caused by cold corpses, but by an indescribable monster.

Those who opened their eyes were punished and could not open their eyes in the wild.

This will increase the difficulty of dealing with the territory master exponentially. No wonder the Ye'an people chose to use lanterns to solve the loss of control.

But the problem is, those people in the human realm want to attack the realm master, how can they act if they can't see?

Maybe they have a way to open their eyes here. Chen Ningan didn't dare to bet, and he used a lantern to search everything in the house.

The bowls and chopsticks broke into pieces when they were hit. There was nothing strange about them.

There was a shrine where the incense had long been extinguished, leaving only a few candle remnants.

Candle!

Chen Ningan put it away. Any candle in this world has incredible effects.

He continued to observe.

The tables, chairs and benches were also very ordinary, but the strange thing was that there was no dust in the room.

There is no dust...is there something still being cleaned?

He checked the door again and breathed a sigh of relief after making sure it was tightly locked.

"Tick tock~"

He heard the sound of water coming from somewhere, and he turned around almost immediately, stabbing the source of the sound with the lightning-struck branch.

Nothing at all.

This house is full of weirdness.

But the next second he heard the sound of chopping vegetables on the chopping board, chop, chop, chop, and then it quickly disappeared after three sounds.

"Clap."

The table and chair he had just passed were moved away, followed by a subtle shaking.

Chen Ning'an was standing nearby. He vaguely heard someone talking, but the syllables were incomprehensible and did not belong to any language he knew.

There is someone else in this room! Chen Ningan was thinking, and suddenly he heard footsteps coming from outside the door.

All the movement in the house disappeared, covered up, leaving only the clumsy footsteps outside the door.

There was more than one person, judging from the sounds there were at least seven or eight.

Chen Ning'an couldn't see outside, but this mess shouldn't be a monster.

“There’s a house here!”

There were cheers of joy from outside the door, followed by another person's scolding.

"Do you know if the house here is safe? Be careful to prevent accidents."

The scolding voice was quite heavy, and the person must be middle-aged, or maybe a little later.

Then the man continued, "Newcomer, go explore the way."

He actually asked the new lantern bearer to explore the way, and soon the newcomer's frightened voice was heard: "Ah? What if there is a monster? Will I be killed?"

He was hesitant to explore the house.

"boom!"

Chen Ning'an heard the gunshots and several people's exclamations.

"Go if I tell you to. If you explore the way, you can still live. If you go out, you will get thirty special medicines. If you don't explore the way, you will die now. Choose one for yourself."

"Brother Hong, this is different from what I said at the beginning."

The newcomer wanted to say something, but another gunshot was heard immediately.

"Snapped!"

Chen Ning'an heard the sound of something falling to the ground and smelled blood.

Brother Hong was still saying, "If you don't go, I'll hit you on the head next time."

There was no answer. Brother Hong pulled the rope and found the other end was heavy, but there was no struggle.

He groped his way up and felt the other person's body was slippery, the head was warm, and the place where his hand entered felt like boiling tofu.

hiss……

He accidentally beat the newcomer to death.

Brother Hong's face was full of regret: "Damn, this guy is too weak, isn't he?"

He cut the rope while cursing, "Then Xiao Fu, you go ahead."

"Ok."

Xiao Fu did not refuse, and his footsteps groped outside the house.

Chen Ning'an didn't say a word despite their fuss.

He was wondering why the other party was not attacked despite the huge noise.

Is it only when I open my eyes that the problem occurs?

That shouldn’t be the case. He can’t see outside the house, so how could he know whether the thing outside the house is a human or a ghost?
Chen Ning'an thought about it, took out a pen and paper from his luggage, checked the integrity of the coffin chain, and began to outline with dripping blood.

It was exactly the door god he had painted at the beginning.

However, this time he painted two door gods, one for the left and one for the right, Qin Shubao and the other for Yuchi Gong, with simple sketches, and the effect was not very strong.

He pasted two door gods on the wall opposite the door so that they could be seen when the door was opened.

He removed the obstruction and heard voices talking outside.

"Brother Hong, there doesn't seem to be any danger around here. Should we go in now?"

As he was talking, the man called Brother Hong said, "Then go in."

It looks like he's about to come in.

Chen Ning'an held the talisman in his hand, but after waiting for a long time, he only heard footsteps coming from outside, but no one came in.

Someone said, "That's weird. Where's the door? I can't find it. Let's look for it together."

There were constant noises outside, and it seemed that many people were looking for the entrance outside the door.

wrong.

Chen Ning'an sensed something unusual. He closed his eyes, pulled the bolt, opened the door, and moved away from the area surrounding the door.

If you are on the same line as the door, you cannot see outside the door.

He saw a huge shadow reflected on the ground through the gate. The voices were still ringing, and it seemed that the gate would never be found.

"The door is here. Chen Ning'an spoke in the middle of the room and actually invited that thing in.
