I was held captive by demons

This is really...

Kong Ning shook his head, not knowing what to say for a moment.

Fortunately, Kong Ning has a magic pot in his body, and running this incomplete version of the soul-swallowing magic skill will not harm him.

If another person came to practice, and there was no Spirit-swallowing Magic Jar in his body, he might be useless on the spot.

However, he once practiced the incomplete version of the Soul Swallowing Magic Art, so Kong Ning's first operation of the art was much faster than expected.

Almost without hindrance, he completed the first cycle of the sky, and easily learned the magic power of devouring spirit.

August 21 of the lunar calendar.

On the sixth day after Kong Ning retreated, he finally opened the door and walked out.

What I saw was the bright sunshine at noon in Shanlan County.

The small county town under the noon sun is quiet and peaceful.

And this kind of peaceful picture is different from the previous illusion, but it is really living and working in peace and contentment, which makes people feel happy.

Kong Ning walked to the gate of the courtyard, pushed open the door, and saw the young girl who was holding the ancient sword of killing evil, leaning against the door and falling asleep.

During the period of his retreat and cultivation, Wan'er has been guarding the door to protect the Dharma, Kong Ning knows this.

But this girl is too disregarding her personal image.Anyway, he is also an immortal cultivator, the immortal master in the eyes of mortals, but now he is sitting by the door and falling asleep holding a sword, really...

Don't you know how to meditate and concentrate on enlightenment?

Even pretending?

Do you have to lie here like a mortal?

This girl really doesn't have the consciousness of a practitioner at all, all kinds of words and deeds are still the wild girl in that village...

Kong Ning was slightly speechless.

The girl woke up quickly when she heard the sound of the door opening.

Stand up happily.

"Captain Ning, you're out of customs," Wan'er said happily, with two drops of eye droppings hanging from the corners of her eyes.

Kong Ning watched this scene, the corners of his mouth twitched slightly.

"Can't you take your personal image into consideration? You're 17 years old! How decent is it to lie on the street and sleep? You're a practitioner!"

Kong Ning said speechlessly: "If the people of Xuantian Sword Sect know that the successor who inherited their mantle is you, I'm afraid they will die of anger on the spot."

In this regard, Wan'er scratched her head in embarrassment, and smiled sarcastically.

"That...they are already dead. People cannot be resurrected after death, and it is impossible to die a second time."

Kong Ning looked at her speechlessly, was silent for two seconds, and finally decided to change the subject.

If you continue to tangle with this girl, you're afraid you'll suffer from cerebral hemorrhage on the spot.

"How's the situation in the city?" Kong Ning asked about his situation after retreat.

And Wan'er's answer was not much different from Kong Ning's expectation.

On the night of August [-]th, after Kong Ning beheaded Baishi Xuegu and destroyed the Wanling Blood Banner, those people wearing Nuo opera masks woke up one after another.

And they all have memories of when they were controlled, so Wan'er's effort of explaining was saved.

Under the organization of Wan'er and the county government, people healed the wounded, buried the dead, cleaned up the mess on the river beach, and burned the corpses of several monsters.

Although the All Spirits Blood Formation did not really succeed, there were still some mortals who were old or had old diseases who could not make it to the end in the frantic dance.

Before Kong Ning rescued everyone, hundreds of people had already fallen on the river beach.

Among them, only a dozen people were rescued.The remaining dozens of people died long ago.

In the few days after that, the city wore mourning and mourning, and the dead were buried. It was gloomy.

And Miss Xu San, who was stored in the scabbard, after the demons in the city died and her daughter Caiwei was safe, her obsession was resolved and was about to dissipate.

But she has been holding on, wanting to wait for Kong Ning to leave the customs, and personally thank Kong Ning.

It's just that in the end, she couldn't wait for Kong Ning, and her soul returned to heaven and earth two days ago, and her obsession dissipated.

Before leaving, I left a sincere and grateful thank you, and I hope Wan'er will convey it.

"If there is an afterlife, Miaoyi will make a grass ring to repay..."

Kong Ning listened to Wan'er's retelling, the corners of his mouth could not help but slightly curved, and he smiled.

"Educated people speak differently. If I were me, I would only talk about the afterlife... Hahaha..."

This poor woman who had a miserable half-life and was imprisoned and humiliated by the cat demon for eight years now barely had a good result, and Kong Ning couldn't help but feel a little joy in her heart.

And I learned from Wan'er that Miss Xu San was finally reunited with her relatives in the last few days.I saw her parents and relatives again.

And her daughter, the half-human, half-demon Xu Caiwei, also met her grandparents and natal relatives.

"But Caiwei is somewhat resistant to the Xu residence..."

Speaking of this, Wan'er sighed slightly, and said: "She is afraid that we will abandon her and leave her in the Xu residence, so she has been refusing to leave me."

"I promised her dozens of times before she obediently went to Xu Mansion to reunite with her relatives."

"Ning Butou, shall we take Caiwei away next?" Wan'er asked with concern.

Kong Ning was a little surprised: "Why did she resist the Xu Mansion? Did people in the Xu Mansion treat her badly?"

After all, he is half human and half demon, so it doesn't seem strange to be rejected by mortals.

But Wan'er shook her head and said: "On the contrary, people in the Xu residence treat her very well. Her grandma and grandma also love her very much."

"But that girl refused to stay in the Xu Mansion. She wanted to go with us and practice with us. In the future, she would also go to kill demons and eliminate demons, so that more poor people like her mother could escape from the sea of ​​suffering and be free from demons. harm."

"Well... she said it herself, I'm just repeating it," Wan'er felt a little guilty when she said this, "Although this girl is young, she has only recently developed her spiritual wisdom. But her innate Taoism body is really smart. I think it’s a workable material.”

After finishing speaking, Wan'er was afraid to look into Kong Ning's eyes.

Kong Ning looked at her helplessly, and said with a smile: "Don't worry, even if that girl is willing to stay, I won't keep her in Xu's residence."

"Innate dao body, for the right way and the devil way, is a plastic talent."

"If you can't lead her to the right path and be used by demons, it will be terrible."

"So we will definitely not leave her in Shanlan County, we must take her with us."

"As for teaching her to practice... Let's discuss this matter later. This girl still needs to examine her character, so she can't teach her the cultivation method hastily."

"At most, teach her the "Enlightenment Sutra", let her often chant, calm her mind, and try to understand the aura of heaven and earth, which can be regarded as an elementary introduction."

Kong Ning's answer made Wan'er slightly silent.

Although Kong Ning's words sounded very friendly.

But Wan'er heard another deep meaning in these words.

It's just that she also understands that Xu Caiwei can only deal with it according to the method Kong Ning said.

Such a terrifying talent of the innate Taoist body must not be indulged.

Therefore, the girl remained silent, but had no way to refute, so she nodded in agreement with Kong Ning's handling.

Chapter 121 Can't Go Back

After chatting with Wan'er about the situation in the city for a while, Kong Ning decided to go out for a walk.

However, as soon as he walked out of Huaishu Alley, he saw many bamboo baskets and gifts piled up at the entrance of the alley, as high as a hill.

There are also guards next to it.

Seeing Kong Ning coming out, the people were all excited and stepped forward one after another.

"Captain Ning, you're out of customs!"

"Thank you Ning, you saved the lives of seven members of my family!"

"Ning catcher, thank you..."

Soon, Kong Ning was besieged at the entrance of Huaishu Alley, and many nearby residents who heard the news of Kong Ning's exit came one after another, expressing their gratitude to Kong Ning excitedly.

And the pile of various bamboo baskets, gifts, and local specialties piled up at the entrance of the alley, as high as a hill, were all sent by the residents of the city during the time when Kong Ning was in retreat.

The enthusiastic villagers made Kong Ning feel a little embarrassed, so he dealt with it hastily.Seeing people running on the street in the distance, it seems that more and more people are rushing here.

Kong Ning hastily made an excuse to go back to continue retreat, and then fled back to his home in Huaishu Lane.

In the yard, Wan'er said happily, "Ning Butou is very popular. After you retreat, everyone cares about you. Even without me talking, some of them spontaneously guarded outside the alley to prevent others from disturbing you." .”

"Even the few families in the alley have temporarily lived outside these few days, saying that they are worried that it will affect Ning's retreat."

Kong Ning knows the characters of these villagers in Shanlan County very well, after all, he has lived here for more than ten years.

It is indeed honest and honest.

But what they did made Kong Ning a little embarrassed.

Standing in the yard, Kong Ning sighed and said, "It seems that I have to keep a low profile for the next few days."

Kong Ning doesn't really like the feeling of being surrounded wherever he goes.

Especially these enthusiastic villagers who surrounded him were all his former neighbors and fellow villagers.

Now these familiar faces and familiar people all regard him as a great savior, a reincarnated god, and everyone is fanatical, grateful, worships and respects him.

This made Kong Ning feel complicated.

And a little melancholy.

This Shanlan County will probably never come back.

If you continue to live in the city, there will only be endless troubles.Wherever you go, you are surrounded and admired. What is the meaning of such a life?

Kong Ning is not a magic stick with a strong desire to show off, and he doesn't want to be a high-ranking fairy teacher.

In the next few days, Kong Ning lived in seclusion and basically didn't go out for a stroll.

He was dealing with the chores that still needed to be settled in Shanlan County one by one.

Pull out the accounting book at home and pay off the money owed.I paid back the debts of favor that I would not be able to move around in the future, one by one in advance, without leaving any regrets.

Then I went to the home of the county grandfather in Shanlan County.

After Wan'er relayed the death of the county magistrate, the people in the county government already knew about it.

Kong Ning went to help sort out the relics of the county magistrate, and saw the family letter sent by the county magistrate's daughter.

It was indeed mentioned in the family letter that the county magistrate's daughter was going to get married soon.

But he didn't invite the magistrate to watch the ceremony, but simply informed him about it.

Because after the county magistrate's daughter was born, magistrate Liu came to Shanlan County to take office.

Since then, the county magistrate has never left Shanlan County again.

The living people in this city are all livestock raised in captivity.

Relying on the power of the blood streamer of all spirits in the locust tree, Xue Gu confuses people's cognition, making the residents of the city willing to be livestock, and extremely ignorant of everything, living happily and happily.

And County Magistrate Liu, as an important role in the city, has been subjected to the most serious degree of brainwashing and control.

Most of the mortals in the city are just confused.

County Magistrate Liu was ruled by Xue Gu, just like those monsters, he also succumbed to Xue Gu's control.

Therefore, magistrate Liu knows more than ordinary people.

But because of this, he couldn't leave Shanlan County.

He didn't go home for 16 years, and his parents died of old age, and they never went to the funeral.The wife even took her daughter to remarry someone else, and there has been no correspondence for many years.

Only the daughter who has never met each other sends letters home every year.

But when Kong Ning opened the box that County Magistrate Liu had carefully treasured, he could clearly see that as time went by, County Magistrate Liu's daughter sent fewer and fewer letters from home.

In the end, there were not many letters in a year.

Before this letter notifying County Magistrate Liu of her upcoming marriage, the most recent letter was sent in the twelfth lunar month of last year...

Looking at the well-preserved but extremely rough letter paper in the treasured small box, Kong Ning sighed in his heart.
