I’m Being Held Captive by Demons

In addition, although the gate of ghosts is closed, ghosts are not unable to enter.

Wan'er explained: I have to correct Ning Butou on this point.

Although the gates of ghosts are closed, all the yin gods in the underworld have disappeared. But that's just the lack of ghost messengers such as black and white impermanence, bull-headed horse-faced, etc. to guide the souls.

Without the guidance of ghosts from the underworld, seven days after a person dies, the remnant soul will gradually condense and turn into a wandering soul to wander in the world.

And they are not allowed in the human world. The longer they stay in the human world, the more difficult it will be.

Whether it is wind, sun or rain, it is suffering for them.

These wandering ghosts will eventually wander towards the gate of hell unconsciously, and finally hide in the underworld.

It is really difficult for us living people to enter the closed gate of hell.

But these dead lonely ghosts have long been spirit bodies, but they can easily enter the underworld.

It's just that once you get in, you can't get out.

Wan'er said: I've seen it before, the ghost messenger who closed the ghost gate just blocked the way out from inside, but specially left a path for the wandering ghosts outside to enter.

Having said that, Wan'er couldn't help but sigh.

It's a pity that such a move was originally well-intentioned, but in the end it fueled the arrogance of the city god ghost in the underworld.

In the past twenty years, He has continuously enslaved the ghosts of the underworld, absorbed the yang energy of the world, and greatly strengthened the ghost body.

That's why the spirit body of the City God Ghost is so huge.

At least half of the ghosts of the people who died in Shanlan County in the past ten years were swallowed by it. The rest were all locked in the ghost city by him and lost themselves.

Wan'er said: According to common sense, Miss Xu's ghost will take seven days to condense and appear without ghost messengers from the underworld to pick it up.

And there is no Yin Division to guide and guide, this kind of self-condensed ghosts are all devoid of intelligence and muddleheaded, leaving only the most basic instincts, which is no different from dementia.

So even if Miss Xu San's ghost is condensed, it will definitely not remember the past, love and hatred, and will not come here to touch Caiwei's head.

Wan'er looked at Kong Ning, and said helplessly, There is a high probability that it is Ning who catches the head, you are fooled.

Kong Ning frowned, constantly recalling the glimpse when he turned around just now.

Although it was only for a moment, the scene was very real.

It's unlikely to be vertigo.

Kong Ning frowned and said, Then is there no other possibility? For example, Miss Xu San is so talented that she can condense her soul right after she dies?

Wan'er smiled helplessly, and said: This possibility is not impossible... If Miss Xu San's resentment is hard to appease, and her character is too strong, then after a tragic death, she will directly turn into a demon and linger in the world.

But the courtyard is empty, without the slightest yin, and no evil spirits dare to appear in broad daylight.

As for the difficulty of resentment... When Miss Xu San died, her obsession disappeared, and the head of Ning Bao promised to help her take care of the child and avenge her blood. It can be said that she walked very peacefully, and it is impossible to become a demon.

Wan'er said: Take a step back, even if Ms. Xu San is really resentful and turned into an evil ghost. But an evil ghost can haunt the two of us... Ning Chatou, what do you think? is it possible?

Kong Ning thought for a while, then nodded helplessly: It's really unlikely, it's probably because my eyes are dazzled.

Although I feel that the possibility of my being delusional is not high, but compared with Wan'er's logical and meticulous reasoning, it is more logical to see myself as delusional.

After leaving Tian's abandoned house, Kong Ning returned to the county government office on a jujube horse.

Along the way, he carefully observed the situation in the front, back, left, and all around, paying attention to everything around him out of the corner of his eye.

However, the figure of the woman in red never appeared again.

Seeing Xu Miaoyi's ghost in Tian's abandoned house seemed to be his illusion.

When I returned to the Yamen, it was just time for dinner.

Today, the arresters didn't go out to eat restaurants, but sat in the courtyard of the yamen and set up a banquet.

When Kong Ning arrived, everyone greeted him to take a seat.

Kong Ning was a little confused: What's the matter today? Why did you suddenly set up a banquet in the yard?

Ma Liu on the side said: Your Excellency is treating you today, you must have a good meal.

Kong Ning's expression was astonished, unbelievable: My lord treat?

That county magistrate who slams the door and is stingy?

Also invite the arresters of the entire county government, more than 300 people up and down?

Kong Ning immediately asked in a low voice: What happened?

Their county magistrate is notoriously stingy. If he eats one meal, he may have to vomit out the hard work of ten meals.

Sure enough, Ma Liu whispered: Sir, let us eat and drink enough, and go to the mountains to cut trees in the afternoon.

The batch of Yin locust trees he bought from Hejian Mansion before seemed not enough.

Previously, the county magistrate asked Zhang Rong and his ten policemen to escort the corpse of the monster to Hejian Mansion. When they came back, those policemen did help the county magistrate to buy a batch of Yin locust trees, and brought them back to the county magistrate's brother-in-law's carpenter's house. yard.

Kong Ning didn't need to do coolies because he was arresting the head, so he didn't move it himself, but he also heard about it from other people in the yamen.

Not enough shade locust trees now? The county magistrate wants everyone to go to the mountains to chop?

There are indeed quite a lot of Yin locust trees in the mountains, but if Kong Ning remembers correctly, the last time the Yin locust trees were dragged back from Hejian Mansion was several cartloads, right? Still not enough?

The county magistrate, brother-in-law, why do you need so many Yin locust trees?

Kong Ning was very puzzled.

After asking around, I roughly understood the cause and effect.

The county magistrate's brother-in-law used this batch of Yin locust trees to make Nuo opera masks.

And since Yin Huaimu arrived last month, that guy's workshop has been working day and night without stopping, working overtime to make masks for Nuo opera.

The team leader of the soap room even told Kong Ning in a low voice that the county magistrate planned to restart the Nuo opera sacrifices on the Mid-Autumn Festival, inviting people to perform Nuo operas, offering sacrifices to heaven and earth, and praying for a good harvest.

Tomorrow the yamen will post a notice to let the people in the city know about it and cooperate.

And the county magistrate's brother-in-law worked overtime to make these Nuo opera masks, obviously intending to make a fortune during the Mid-Autumn Festival.

After all, for such an important event as the Nuo opera sacrifice, the villagers of this world must participate, and no one dares to be absent.

At that time, the people in the whole city will only be able to buy the Nuo opera masks of the county grandpa and brother-in-law...

It's really...

Kong Ning shook his head wordlessly, and finally sorted out the cause and effect.

And if he guessed correctly, the county magistrate himself also had a stake in this business.

So many Yin locust trees are not a small amount of money.

But Nuo opera... Shanlan County hasn't held such a large-scale Nuo opera sacrifice for several years.

The magistrate of the county has suddenly got into a frenzy. He wants to hold a Nuo opera sacrifice?

Could it be that his money is tight recently?

But I haven't heard that the magistrate is short of money recently... It's really weird.
