I’m Being Held Captive by Demons

The girl's plan is perfect.

As long as the entrance of this ghost city is blocked, a large number of evil spirits will not be able to flood into the county.

But there is one thing that Kong Ning and Wan'er tacitly did not mention.

——That is, what should we do if the powerful evil spirits come directly and wreak havoc in the city?

For the two of them at this time, they were powerless to fight against those powerful evil spirits.

They can only pin their hopes on the monsters in the city.

After all, the monsters in the city raised the whole city for blood food. In theory, the monsters would not let the powerful evil spirits kill wantonly in the city.

Of course, even if the monsters really don't care about those evil spirits, Kong Ning and the others have nothing to do.

As much power as you have, you can do as much. This is the truth in the world.

Although Kong Ning has 90 years of experience as a monster, he is still far behind those monsters in the city.

After saying goodbye to Wan'er, he returned to the Shanlan County Government Office and continued to pretend that everything was as usual.

The discovery of the ghost market is indeed good news for Kong Ning.

As long as the entrance of the ghost city can be blocked and the evil spirits running out of it can be continuously killed, the entrance of the ghost city is a sacred place for leveling for Kong Ning who can constantly spawn monsters.

And it's the kind that doesn't have much difficulty and danger.

It is foreseeable that Kong Ning's cultivation level will skyrocket again as long as this Hungry Ghost Festival is over.

As for the monsters at home, these days are getting more and more busy, and I don't have much time to make troubles. When the Ghost Festival comes, evil spirits will come to the world, and chaos will inevitably occur in the city.

No matter what conflicts Su Yan had with those monsters in Shanlan County, she would never let go of this great opportunity to make trouble.

Three days passed quickly.

In the county town, people are getting busier. Every household began to prepare for ancestor worship and burning paper.

The small remote county is also bustling with the busyness of thousands of households.

On July 15th, the county government released the government half a day in advance, and let everyone go home after noon.

Kong Ning, who rode a jujube horse through the streets and alleys, saw the bustling market, the goods piled up on both sides of the road, and the surging crowd on the street.

People shouted loudly and bargained, or some acquaintances stopped on the street to greet each other, and there were also groups of slowly swaying drunks gathering in front of the restaurant, punching and singing loudly.

Riding on horseback, Kong Ning looked around, the most crowded long street was wriggling human heads, and there were piles of strangely shaped paper man paper horses, joss sticks, and yellow paper piled up on the side of the road. Secondly, there are ordinary civilians who take advantage of this lively festival to sell their own fruits and vegetables, and some people tie their own chickens and ducks to the side of the road for sale.

When Zhongyuan comes, no matter how stingy and stingy people are, they will have to cook a few big dishes tonight, and add a few taels of water and wine to worship their ancestors. So every family has the need to kill chickens and ducks, and some even take out their own piglets and sell them with straw.

The streets that were empty in the past are now full of people. Most of them came to purchase the ingredients needed to worship the ancestors at night, and there were also many people who took this opportunity to set up a street stall and start a small business.

The noise of people talking, the noise of chickens and ducks, mixed with the smell of sweat from the crowd, the smell of livestock, and the smell of animal excrement... All kinds of smells are mixed together, plus the sultry weather in mid-July , Kong Ning felt a little out of breath.

Riding a jujube horse, he passed through the crowd helplessly, trying to find a path to go home as soon as possible.

But at this moment, a familiar voice came from the front.

Husband, husband.

The call from the crowd was clearly the monster wife in his family.

Kong Ning looked at the prestige in astonishment, and saw a woman in a red dress happily waving at him on the side of the crowded street, and kept jumping up and down in place, so that Kong Ning could see her.

Confused, Kong Ning rode his horse through the crowd and came to Su Yan. Then she got off her horse and saw three big roosters tied up in front of Su Yan and a basket of eggs. They are all stuck with straws, representing the products for sale.

And Su Yan brought a small wooden stool from her home, and she was sitting on the side of the road with a smile, huddled with mortals, looking at Kong Ning.

Kong Ning was a little stunned: Why are you here?

Kong Ning was astonished and surprised, but Su Yan smiled all over her face and said: Today is the Ghost Festival, and everyone is out to set up street stalls to sell things. Yan'er thought that the big roosters at home had matured, so she brought a few out. Sell ​​and earn some money.

I've already sold two of them! I've also sold fifteen eggs and made a lot of money. Look, my husband.

Su Yan said happily, holding a handful of copper coins to ask Kong Ning for credit.

Kong Ning was slightly speechless.

On such an important day as the Ghost Festival, shouldn't you, a monster, go to trouble the monsters in the city? What kind of play are you running here?

Although I know that this monster is very idle during the day and only goes out to fight at night, but you are too idle, right?

After a few seconds of speechless silence, Kong Ning organized his words and said, Go ahead, I'm going home first.

Kong Ning really didn't dare to say more, for fear that he couldn't help the urge to complain and said something that shouldn't be said, and offended the monster in front of him.

But Kong Ning turned around to leave, but Su Yan quickly grabbed him.

The moment his arm was grabbed, Kong Ning's conditioned body froze, and a icy chill crept up his back.

What... what's the matter? Kong Ning said as calmly as possible.

Turning his head, he saw the woman in red looking at him pitifully, and said, Husband, Yan'er has made a lot of money...

……so?

Don't you praise Yan'er?

...

If Husband feels forced, it's fine, Su Yan said with a disappointed face.

Kong Ning was silent for a few seconds, and finally squeezed out a dry smile on his face, and read in a voice without any emotional ups and downs: Yan'er is really amazing, it's amazing.

Only then did Su Yan let go of Kong Ning happily, and said, Thank you, husband. Husband, go home and rest. The house has already prepared lunch. Just go back and heat it up. Yan'er will go home and cook dinner in the afternoon.

So, Kong Ning, whose hands were loosened, rode a jujube horse into the crowded flow of people and left.

It wasn't until he had walked a long way that he looked back at the woman in red in the crowd.

Under the noon sun, the monster was sitting on the side of the street, selling the few roosters she had raised, smiling all over her face, and talking with the mortals around her, without any trace of ferocity.

It's even like having fun, not acting.

And it doesn't seem necessary for her to act in such a play.

...so the monster is really happy?

Why? Just because the raised roosters sold for money?

Or is this kind of mortal life as novel and interesting to her as playing house?

Other than that, Kong Ning couldn't think of any other possibility.

On horseback, Kong Ning let out a deep breath, without stopping, and continued towards Huaishu Alley.

This witch is so powerful that even the monsters in the city can't do anything to her, so she naturally has the leisure and capital to play house.

But he can't do it.

Today, he is still in a life-and-death crisis.

What's more, tonight's Hungry Ghost Festival is extremely important to him, and there is no room for him to relax in the slightest.

Must go all out!

Kill ghosts, kill ghosts, and kill ghosts! Only by killing enough evil spirits tonight and improving your cultivation can you kill those monsters in the city, and grow to the point where you can fight the monsters at home!

Kong Ning at this time, it is not an exaggeration to say that he is standing in front of the most important difficulty in life.

After jumping over this difficulty, he became a carp and transformed into a dragon, and had the capital to fight against the monsters in the city.

If he fails, his strength can no longer grow, so he can only take the risk to fight with that monster in Xu's mansion, and he is close to death!
