I was held captive by demons

If he really died outside, it would be a good thing for Kong Ning.

Kong Ning suspected that Su Yan had found something and had no time to go home for the time being.

Maybe there is something really wrong with the magistrate of the county, so Su Yan found the flaws of the monsters in the city, so she followed the clues to investigate.

Thinking about all kinds of possibilities in his heart, Kong Ning came to the county government office on a jujube horse, and went to work at noon.

The situation was unknown, he did not act rashly, and still maintained his usual routine.

After the Dianmao was over, I found a quiet corner to read a book.

However, his mind was inexplicably restless.

It seems that something sinister happened in the dark.

Could it be that Wan'er was found by that scorpion spirit?Or did Wan'er encounter some danger?

The first thing Kong Ning thought about was this possibility.

In the current county town, apart from her parents, only Wan'er's safety can be cared about by Kong Ning.

As for the scorpion spirit, Kong Ning would probably set off firecrackers to celebrate his death.

Impossible to worry about her.

After sitting on pins and needles in the yamen for two hours, Kong Ning rode a jujube horse to patrol the streets near noon.

He didn't approach Tian's abandoned house hastily, but wandered around the south of the city on horseback.

From a distance, one could feel a certain aura in Tian's abandoned house.

That was Wan'er's spiritual power. The two of them had concluded some kind of secret spell before. They didn't need to meet each other, and they could sense each other's aura as long as they got close to a certain distance.

In this way, Wan'er doesn't need to enter Huaishu Lane, as long as she is close to Kong Ning's home, she can also feel the safety of Kong Ning.

Originally, the girl was worried that Kong Ning and the scorpion spirit would encounter danger when they stayed together every day, and the spell that was concluded was now used by Kong Ning instead.

But nothing happened to Wan'er, Kong Ning heaved a sigh of relief.

Riding on the jujube horse with a normal complexion, he wandered around the city for a while as usual before returning to the yamen for lunch.

Then when entering the county office, I saw the county magistrate and his brother-in-law entering the gate of the county office together in a sedan chair.

When Kong Ning dismounted, the magistrate greeted Kong Ning with a smile, showing his great reliance on Kong Ning.

Kong Ning was astonished, but his expression remained the same, he smiled and chatted with the magistrate and his brother-in-law, and finally watched the magistrate enter the back hall.

Brows, but slightly frowned.

The appearance of the magistrate looks no different from usual.

Kong Ning had tested his tone just now, and found that the Nuo opera sacrifice would be held as usual, and the county magistrate's brother-in-law was almost ready.

There was absolutely no sign that Su Yan had used spells to intimidate the two of them.

... Could it be that Su Yan didn't go to the county magistrate after she went out yesterday morning?

So where did she go?I didn't go home all day and night, and I didn't go to the county magistrate to check for the traces of the demon. Could it be that he really disappeared?

Confused, Kong Ning found a time when no one was around and sneaked into the back hall, lurking in the dark and eavesdropping on the conversation between the magistrate and his brother-in-law.

The two were still talking about how to make money during the Mid-Autumn Festival, and the county magistrate's brother-in-law was looking forward to this big deal.

Indeed, it doesn't look like Su Yan has looked for them.

So where did Su Yan go after she went out yesterday?

Kong Ning found that things seemed a little strange.

After fishing in the county government office for another afternoon, Kong Ning left the county government office on a jujube horse only after he was released from the government office.

He walked towards Huaishu Lane alone.

The old locust tree with withered leaves, the once lush canopy, is now about to lose all its leaves, and the alleys are full of dead leaves that have fallen from the locust tree.

The father under the tree leaned against the old locust tree, closed his eyes tightly, and seemed to be a little unwell.

Kong Ning asked a few words, but got no response, his father leaned there with a cold expression, completely ignoring Kong Ning.

On the contrary, the mother smiled and chatted with Kong Ning, saying that there is no problem, dispelling the doubts in Kong Ning's heart.

Only then did Kong Ning lead the jujube horse into the yard.

In the yard, it was still dead silent.

In the kitchen, it was deserted and clear, without the sound of hot oil tumbling and cooking.

The front yard and the back yard were all cold and silent, and there was no sign of Su Yan.

Even everything in the yard and house remained the same as when Kong Ning went out in the morning.

During the whole day he stayed in the county office, no one came to his house, and Su Yan did not come back.

In a daze, Kong Ning seemed to have returned to the days before he met Su Yan.

Every afternoon when I came back from Fang Ya, I sat alone in the deserted yard, no one spoke, no one communicated, and I only needed to cook for one person.

But at that time, he could still go to Chunfeng Tower to listen to music with Ma Liu and the others from time to time, and go to Zuixian Tower for dinner appointments.

Now, he can't seem to get out of this yard.

The quiet and dead courtyard made people feel inexplicably flustered.

Su Yan, a scorpion spirit, must have disappeared, right?

Or, what danger did you encounter?

Although the scorpion's cultivation is extraordinary, 300 years of Taoism is equivalent to refining the sky, and it can overwhelm one in Shanlan County.

But compared with those real bosses, they are still far behind.

Tianmen, Liankong, Yuanshen, Yanju, Zifu...

Of the five realms of practice, the realm of refining the sky is just a beginner.

It doesn't seem to be surprising if some top-level monster passes by and kills Su Yan casually.

It's just that Shanlan County is so remote, and there are no natural treasures born, so there shouldn't be any top monsters passing by, right?

Chapter 77

Kong Ning, who was sitting under the eaves, continued his waiting.

Now he has practiced as a demon for 200 years, although he hasn't really bigu yet, he can go without eating or drinking for a long time.

His cooking skills are average, and he can fry vegetables to the right degree of sweetness and saltiness.

I am used to eating the delicacies served by Su Yan, and now I am alone, I really don't bother to start a fire.

Whether there is a gas stove in this kind of world, it will be on at one point.If you want to start a fire to cook, you have to light a fire to burn firewood, which is very troublesome.

He sat under the eaves with a calm expression, watching the sun set and the sky gradually darken.

In the end, the entire Shanlan County was engulfed in pitch black night.

The county town gradually quieted down.

People who had been busy all day returned to their homes to rest.

In the era without street lights and electricity, everyone fell asleep shortly after dark and woke up at dawn.

It can be said to be a very healthy work and rest habit, going to bed early and getting up early.

Kong Ning, on the other hand, sat silently under the eaves, hiding in the darkness, quietly watching the stars gradually shining in the sky.

On the seventh day of August, it is still the first quarter moon.

The cold moonlight falls on the streets and alleys of Shanlan County.

But in the small county under the night, there was no fighting, no fighting, everything was quiet as usual.

It was so quiet that it was so empty that it even started to feel a little uneasy.

Shanlan County, where demons are entrenched, has not had such peace for a long time.

Ever since the demon broke into Kong Ning's life and messed up his world, it seemed like disasters would happen in Shanlan County every night.

First, evil spirits ran rampant, and then demons ran rampant.

Now that the Mid-Autumn Festival is approaching, the monsters seem to be brewing some evil plans.

It stands to reason that the current city should be more sinister and dangerous.

But Kong Ning sat in the night, but couldn't notice anything, and even the evil spirit in the city seemed to have faded a lot.

During the time when the Ghost Festival was approaching, the city was getting darker and darker.

But the current county town, as the Mid-Autumn Festival approaches, seems to be more and more peaceful.

— This is very wrong.

And the monster at home hasn't come back yet.

This gets even weirder.

Kong Ning sat under the eaves and continued to wait.

Time, minute by minute.

The watchman came and went, and came again, his hoarse voice kept ringing in the dark night.

A cold and dead night passed silently like this.

Its daybreak.

Su Yan still didn't come back.

This vicious and cruel scorpion spirit seems to have really evaporated from the world.

But Kong Ning still didn't dare to act rashly.

What if the scorpion spirit didn't leave, but kept hiding nearby to secretly observe Kong Ning's reaction?

If he showed abnormalities at this time and was seen by Su Yan, Kong Ning's fate would be terrible.

He can only continue to pretend to be an ordinary person without cultivation, and live a life of arresting the head of his own yamen.

Leading the skinny jujube horse, Kong Ning stepped out of the locust tree lane in the early morning light and headed for the yamen.

The eighth day of the eighth month of the lunar calendar, the third day Su Yan disappeared.

Kong Ning continued to play the role of head catcher, going to the yamen to order.

Because of Su Yan's strange disappearance, it's not sure if the witch is watching from the side, and Kong Ning even dared not go to the south of the city to contact Wan'er, fearing that she would be caught.

Otherwise, tonight is Miss Xu San's first seven, and Kong Ning plans to go to Xu's mansion with Wan'er to have a look at it at night.

Although they are not ghosts from the underworld, they can't help San Miss Xu gather her ghosts, and they can't make Miss Xu's wandering souls possess spiritual wisdom.

But Kong Ning had noticed Miss Xu San appearing beside him twice before, which made him have certain doubts.

Kong Ning even suspected that something happened after Miss Xu San died, and she turned into something similar to a ghost to linger.

Going to Xu Mansion to investigate tonight is a great opportunity to verify whether Miss Xu San has turned into an evil spirit.

But now that Kong Ning couldn't contact Wan'er, he naturally didn't dare to go to Xu's mansion easily.

Otherwise, sneaking into the Xu Mansion alone at night, Su Yan suddenly jumped out from behind and asked, "Husband, what are you doing in Xu Mansion"...

Kong Ning felt that it was better for him to be more stable.

He has only one life, and there is no chance to start over.

Once there is a mistake, it will be beyond redemption.

The witch at home has always been weird and weird, who knows what kind of trick she is playing when she suddenly disappears this time.

Kong Ning continued his life in the county government with a normal expression, lighting, reading, riding a horse around the city, having lunch with his colleagues, and then returning to the county government to continue reading.

Anyone who sees Kong Ning's routine like this would never guess that there are 200 years of demon power in his body.

In order not to reveal his whereabouts, Kong Ning didn't even sense the mysterious black pot in Qihai Dantian, and he didn't recite the "Enlightenment Scripture" silently in his mind. He really just sat under the eaves and read novels.

In this way, the day passed quickly.

After the yamen was released at dusk, Kong Ning once again declined the invitation of Ma Liu and the others, and rode back to Huaishu Lane alone.
