I’m Being Held Captive by Demons

The moonlight is cold.

As the Mid-Autumn Festival approaches, the moonlight becomes more and more warm.

But still not full.

Looking up, you can see the moon among the stars in the sky, it is the first quarter moon.

Kong Ning, who sat alone in the yard, waited for a whole night.

Until the sky brightened, the sun rose from the mountains, and the morning light pierced the night, but Su Yan hadn't come back yet.

This is slightly off.

Even if the demon girl found out that it was late after checking the county magistrate, so she went directly to trouble the monsters, she wouldn't come back at dawn.

Could it be that she encountered some danger and was ambushed and killed by monsters?

But yesterday the county town was calm, there was no outbreak of evil spirits, and there was no fight between the monsters.

With Su Yan's strength and cultivation base, even if she encounters an ambush and is really calculated to die, it is impossible that she can't even do the dying struggle, right?

The last time Su Yan was besieged, she was slightly injured and even killed a snake demon.

With the strength of the monsters in the county town, it is impossible to kill her quietly, otherwise Su Yan would have died long ago.

So where did this scorpion essence go?

Did it really disappear out of thin air?

If it wasn't for the demon eggs in his belly who could still detect that there were clothes left by the other party in the wedding room, Kong Ning almost thought that he was just having a terrifying nightmare and there was no Su Yan in the world.

Finally, Kong Ning, who had been sitting under the eaves all night, stood up and decided not to wait.

The seventh day of the eighth lunar month, the second day after Su Yan left.

Kong Ning, who didn't have dinner last night, and didn't have breakfast now, walked out of Huaishu Lane with a jujube horse alone, heading towards the yamen.

The strength of that monster is far above him, and he has a blood feud with him.

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 technique 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 weird.

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

Alone towards Huaishu Lane.

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, and seemed to be feeling 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 Fangya, I sat alone in the deserted yard, no one talked, 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 seems unable 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, three hundred 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?
