I was held captive by demons

Everyone is accustomed to it, and the people live and work in peace and contentment.Who would have thought that there are a lot of ghosts and ghosts hidden in this quiet and peaceful small county town?

Kong Ning, who was riding through the streets and alleys on a skinny yellow horse, was greeted by countless people along the way, with a habitual smile, but a slight sigh in his heart.

At this moment, he suddenly agreed with the words of the monster at home.

"...Ignorance, on the contrary, is the greatest happiness."

If he hadn't married a monster and came home with a bunch of monster eggs in his stomach, and he knew nothing about monsters, he would still live ordinary and happily in this small county town, playing the role of his "big future" The identity role of "Young Detective".

——Is the happiness of just ignorant domestic animals really "happiness"?

Kong Ning, who was riding a jujube horse, came to the Yamen, and saw Zhang Rong, the team leader, who was doing his work.

Today is Zhang Rong's last visit to the Shanlan County Government Office.And if not expected, it should be the last time.

The county magistrate in official uniform presided over the farewell ceremony, and the courtyard was very lively.Even the old county magistrate who seldom appeared in the yamen came to bid farewell to Zhang Rong.

After a night of preparations, Zhang Rong was going to take people to escort the corpses of the two monsters away.Along with him is Shi Gui, an unlucky bad gambler.

After all, this guy is an important witness of the Soul Eater, so he has to take him to Hejian Mansion.

And Ma Liu, who was covered in bandages, sat in the corner, looking melancholy at the demon corpse in the middle of the crowd.This high-ranking brothel official with the worst mouth in the past is unusually quiet today.

He once asked the county magistrate to spend money to buy the ghost baby's body back for burial.It's just that this kind of whimsical plea was naturally rejected by the county magistrate.

However, the magistrate of the county took pity on him, and specially rewarded him five liang of silver more when discussing meritorious deeds, to appease the second-ranked expert in the yamen.

And Ma Liu is a small catcher, not even an official.Although he was unhappy, he did not dare to disobey the order of the magistrate.

In the end, under the welcome of everyone in the yamen, the magistrate personally lit firecrackers and sent ten police officers including Zhang Rong to escort the monster's corpse away.

Shanlan County is extremely remote, and the journey to Hejian Mansion takes more than ten days.In addition, when they arrived at Hejian Mansion, they still needed to contact and move around there. These ten police officers probably wouldn't be able to make it back for the Ghost Festival.

But Kong Ning was worried even more.

The small Shanlan County is full of demons dancing, so what about the wider outside world?Are there more monsters?Can these ten policemen come back safely?

Kong Ning couldn't help but sighed softly as he watched Zhang Rong and other arresters leave.

It's just that he is also a mud bodhisattva crossing the river now, and he can't protect himself, so he really can't take care of these colleagues.

After Zhang Rong left, Kuaiban was handed over to Kong Ning as a matter of course.

In the small Shanlan County, the news spread quickly.Wherever Kong Ning went, people no longer called him "Master Ning", but enthusiastically called "Ning Butou".

In the past, Kong Ning would have chuckled a little bit.

But now he can't laugh.

The monster in the house is a shadow that never leaves his head, making him unable to laugh.

But these things, other people naturally don't know.

After Zhang Rong, the team leader, left, the small county government once again returned to its former peace.

The detectives in the squad room ordered the clock every day, and then played cards and chatted in the squad room. From time to time, they gathered people to go to the Chunfeng Building to drink flower wine and listen to ditties.

In this era of lack of entertainment, listening to music and drinking is already a rare pastime in a small county.

Ma Liu, who has been depressed for several days, is said to have nightmares every night.Later, he made up his mind to ask the prodigal son to turn around and stop visiting brothels.

He specially spent money to find some of the most famous matchmakers in the county, and asked the matchmakers to help him take the lead in setting up a match. He wanted to marry a woman from a good family, start a family and start a business, and live in peace of mind.

Those matchmakers were naturally reluctant, after all, in a small county town, who doesn't know the name of a brothel official?Who would marry his daughter to him?Even if it was barely achieved, if the husband and wife were at odds afterwards, wouldn't it be a blow to their brand?

But Ma Liu is one of the most unprovoked catchers in the yamen after all, and these matchmakers finally had to accept Ma Liu's money to help him match up.

In the end, one of the matchmakers helped Ma Liu find a woman from a good family with a clean family background. The parents of the other party did not resist the matter and expressed their willingness to try.

However, after Ma Liu met the girl a few times, he was confused by the complicated customs.In addition, he hadn't tasted a woman for more than half a month, and getting along with girls from a good family was quite restrained. In the end, this senior official in the brothel started his daily life in Chunfenglou again.

And clamoring, "My home is Chunfenglou! Going to Chunfenglou is not to visit a kiln, but to go home! What is there to be ashamed of going home? Don't you go home every day?"

The marriage that hadn't started yet ended without a problem like this.

This matter became a joke in the yamen, and everyone joked about it all day long.

In the end, Ma Liu had to invite guests to Zuixianlou for a meal, and everyone exposed the matter.

Zuixianlou is very close to the county government office, and it is a place frequented by the arresters of the government office for a long time.Kong Ning and the others were sitting in the private room, listening to Ma Liu complaining about how the blind date girl had no flair, they all laughed and shook their heads.

How could it be possible for a girl from a good family with an innocence to have the charm of a brothel girl... This numbness is too outrageous.

Kong Ning sat on the main seat by the window, watching his colleagues drinking and laughing, he couldn't help but feel a lot more relaxed.

It has been ten days since Zhang Rong and the others escorted the corpse of the monster out of Shanlan County.

These days, Kong Ning has been waiting for the white mist in the mysterious black tank to fill up, and it seems that it is almost full.It won't be long before Kong Ning can use the search function of the mysterious black pot again.

Because of this, Kong Ning's mood improved a lot.Even the smiling female monster at home doesn't look so hateful anymore.

Thinking of this, Kong Ning raised his chopsticks, wanting to pick up some food.But at this moment, a faint fragrance suddenly wafted from the private room.

Um?delicate fragrance?

Kong Ning's spirit was shaken suddenly, and his consciousness immediately became clear.

This time, he didn't even need the protection of the mysterious black tank, the demonic power in his body circulated slightly, breaking the illusion in the private room.

In his opinion, this psychedelic technique is extremely rough, far inferior to the innate magical powers of the nightmare and the subtlety of the illusion.

It's just that Kong Ning's other colleagues are not as powerful as Kong Ning, and they all fell asleep at this time.Either lying on the table, or leaning back on the chair, all fell asleep.

And the door of the private room was gently pushed open.

A young girl came in, and seeing Kong Ning by the window staring at him, not fascinated by the illusion, the girl was not surprised, but nodded.

"As expected of a master who can kill monsters with a mortal body...Kong Ning catches the head, Wan'er is polite."

Wearing a white dress, with long black silk hair hanging down her shoulders, and carrying an ancient sword on her back, the girl politely saluted Kong Ningfu, very polite.

Although from Kong Ning's point of view, this gift is extremely lame, even worse than Shi Yong's thick and thick wife...

Looking at the girl in front of him with a strange expression, Kong Ning asked, "Who are you?"

The girl in front of her had a strange background, but she didn't show any hostility.Moreover, the aura on the opponent's body was completely different from the monster that Kong Ning came into contact with.

That kind of peaceful and awe-inspiring aura...could it be the legendary practitioner?

Kong Ning's eyes suddenly became eager.

Could it be that in Shanlan County, where demons are rampant, there are finally practitioners coming to kill demons?

Doesn't that mean that he no longer needs to be afraid of the monsters at home?Can you get out of the sea of ​​suffering early?

Chapter 20 The world is tough

Kong Ning's eyes were extremely eager.

This made the girl in white who called herself Wan'er stunned for a moment, and then she felt a little guilty: "Ning... catch the head? What are you doing looking at me like that? Do I look weird?"

As the girl said, she even tidied up her skirt secretly, for fear that there would be something wrong with her image.

Kong Ning stood up with a smile, and said, "Where did Miss Wan'er come from? Did she come to the county town to kill demons? How do you know my name?"

Could it be that she already knew about the scorpion essence?Is this time looking for Kong Ning to cooperate?

Kong Ning immediately remembered the story of Fa Hai's door-to-door search for Xu Xian, but he was different from Xu Xian.If there is a "Fahai" who wants to kill the monsters in the family, he would rather have 1 people willing to cooperate.

But Wan'er's answer was not quite the same as Kong Ning's guess.

"It's like this," the girl peeked at the sumptuous meals on the table, and said, "I met Zhang Rong and the others on the road, and I saw them escorting the corpse of the monster. Out of curiosity, I walked with them for a while. Where did they know about Ning Butou you, so they came here specially to see Ning Butou, if there is any abruptness, they will also look at Butou Haihan."

After the girl finished speaking, she secretly glanced at the food on the table and swallowed.

At this moment, a clear "grunt" sound suddenly sounded in the private room.

The girl's face instantly turned red.

Kong Ning quickly smiled and said: "Miss Wan'er must be very tired after coming from a long way. Sit down quickly, let's talk while eating."

As he spoke, Kong Ning pulled out an empty chair and beckoned the girl to sit down.

This immortal cultivator doesn't seem very smart...

Under Kong Ning's warm greeting, the girl sat down flattered, looking at the sumptuous meals in front of her, she hesitated for a moment, and said, "Can I?"

Kong Ning smiled all over his face: "Of course, Miss Wan'er is a guest from afar. Please feel free, don't be rigid."

As he said that, Kong Ning sat back in his seat, not getting too close to the girl in order not to let her go.Now it seems that this girl is good at everything, but she looks a little shy?And dumbfounded...

Kong Ning complained in his heart, but there was still a warm and friendly smile on his face.

Such a smiling face eased the girl's tension a little.

She raised her chopsticks and was about to pick up food when she suddenly thought of something and said to Kong Ning quite solemnly: "Wan'er won't eat this meal for nothing, she will definitely repay it in the future!"

After finishing speaking, regardless of Kong Ning's reaction, the girl seemed to have untied some kind of seal, she was no longer restrained, and moved her chopsticks quickly.

One dish after another was quickly cleared up by her.The flying chopsticks on the dining table almost formed afterimages, and the food picked up was directly chewed and swallowed by the girl quickly.

A table of more than a dozen dishes was almost swept away by the girl in less than half a quarter of an hour.

Seeing this scene, Kong Ning was a little stunned.

This... Are immortal cultivators so bold when they eat?

The girl's chopsticks didn't stop until the dishes on the dining table were swept away.She put down her chopsticks, wiped her mouth with a handkerchief, and let out a long sigh of relief.

Said: "This is the first time I have eaten such a rich food... Ning Butou, thank you for your hospitality. You are really a good person."

The girl thanked her very earnestly.

Kong Ning was a little speechless.Is this table dish considered rich?I just treated you to an ordinary home-cooked meal, and you will send out a good friend card... This girl, what kind of miserable life have you lived before?

In his heart, he complained about the girl's weirdness, but Kong Ning still had a friendly smile on his face, and said, "Miss Wan'er came to Shanlan County to look for me this time, what's the matter?"

After dinner, it's time to talk about business.

The girl also sat up straight, and said seriously: "Ning Butou, do you know that your current situation is very dangerous?"

"Oh?" Kong Ning sat up straight and asked, "Miss Wan'er, please elaborate."

The girl said with a serious face: "Although Ning catches the head with high martial arts skills and killed two monsters in a row, those two monsters are just ordinary little monsters with low cultivation, and they can't be regarded as ruthless characters."

"But in this small Shanlan County, there are a bunch of monsters that are more powerful than those two little monsters."

"When I was still outside the city, I could see from a distance the evil aura soaring to the sky and the awe-inspiring evil aura. After entering the county town, I was even more depressed. Everywhere I looked, there was an evil aura permeating everything."

"I speculate that there are at least ten monsters in this county. And there may even be big monsters with more than 300 years of practice!"

"Ning Butou is in such a dangerous place, and he has killed two monsters, attracting everyone's attention. He may be attacked by monsters at any time and encounter danger!"

"So I came to Shanlan County this time to take Ning Butou out of this dangerous place and go out for refuge."

"My Xuantian Sword Sect is the orthodox way of Xuanmen, and the Tianjian Jue is sharp and unparalleled. And Ning Butou can kill demons with a mortal body before he has practiced it. He is extremely talented. If you are willing to join my Xuantian Sword Sect, practice the Tianjian Jue , the future will have a bright future, and it will be easy to slay demons and demons."

"I don't know if Ning Butou is willing to leave with Wan'er?"

The girl looked at Kong Ning expectantly.

Kong Ning looked at her in surprise, he didn't expect this girl to come to accept apprentices.

But Xuantian Sword Sect?I haven't heard of it, and I don't know what level of sect it is.

Kong Ning hesitated, and said: "Although I also want to go with the girl, but I can't help myself, I can't go now."

Kong Ning sighed and said: "To tell you the truth, Miss Wan'er, I was attacked by demons before she came to the county seat. A scorpion spirit with inexplicable origins came to my house under the guise of marriage, and left a demon in my body." egg."

"If I leave, the scorpion spirit will definitely be furious and vent his anger on the elders of my family. But if Miss Wan'er can invite the elders of the master to kill this evil spirit, then the situation will be different."

Kong Ning could see that the girl in front of her was not very cultivated, and judging from her aura, she should be similar to him.Even if it is stronger than him, it is limited.

Such a rookie cultivating immortals can't beat the scorpion spirit, so he can only ask the elders of the opponent's sect to fight.

If this Xuantian Sword Sect can really kill Xie Zijing and help Kong Ning get out of the sea of ​​suffering, then it is not impossible to join this sect.

However, after Kong Ning finished speaking, the girl's face froze slightly.

"Already...already attacked?" The girl asked: "Ning catcher, what happened to the scorpion that killed you? Can you tell me in detail?"

Kong Ning sighed, and roughly explained the process of being deceived by him, falling in love with him, marrying him, and finally giving birth to a demon egg by him.

After the girl heard the story, her expression was a little desperate.

"Being able to transform into a human form requires at least 100 years of Taoism."
