I’m Being Held Captive by Demons - Chapter 34

[Chapter 34 The so-called ghost city]

The morning sun silently fell on the deserted Qingban Bridge.

This remote place far from the bustling city, the surrounding is empty and silent.

Kong Ning rode a jujube yellow horse and stopped at the bridge head of Qingban Bridge, pondering for a long time.

The silent surging white mist still stretched ahead, but disappeared into the air on the Qingban Bridge.

Perhaps, this bridge is really unique?

Kong Ning hesitated, finally got off his horse and walked towards the bridge alone.

The demon power in his body was running silently, ready to attack at any time.

Every step forward is full of vigilance and anxiety, for fear of stepping into some kind of special and weird space, or a monster jumping out on the bridge to kill.

However, until Kong Ning walked up to the middle of the bridge and came to the place where the white fog disappeared, everything was still as usual and nothing happened.

Kong Ning did not enter another eerie void, and no terrifying evil spirits or monsters jumped out to ambush him.

The only thing that changed was the white mist.

The white mist in Kong Ning’s field of vision wiggled slightly.

It did not dissipate directly, but retracted toward Kong Ning’s body.

Soon, the white mist all retracted into the empty dantian.

The inside of the mysterious black tank was filled with white mist again, and the amount was almost enough to fill up.

It appears that this search has failed.

But just now the fog clearly pointed forward…

Kong Ning’s consciousness sank into his dantian, sensed the state of the mysterious black tank, and then he was speechless.

This time, the mysterious black tank has indeed found a suitable target for him.

But the other party doesn’t seem to be in this world, and the road is broken here.

Bai Wu, who failed to find it, had to retract into the black tank and wait for the next time to fill up again.

…In other words, does this Qingban Bridge really lead to somewhere?

Kong Ning, who was standing on the bridge, was slightly surprised.

The first thing he thought of was the battlefield where Wan’er couldn’t find every time the monsters in the city fought each other.

Could it be that those monsters are fighting in a special space behind the Qingban Bridge?

Because she is no longer in the mortal world, so Wan’er can’t be found?

Now, the mysterious black pot points out the entrance?

Thinking of this possibility, Kong Ning did not dare to delay, and immediately rode a jujube yellow horse through the streets and alleys towards Tian’s abandoned house.

This Qingban Bridge was not far from Tian’s old house, and within a quarter of an hour, Kong Ning saw the girl who was cultivating cross-legged on the rockery.

The girl was a little surprised when she saw Kong Ning’s rare daytime visit.

“Ning Zhaotou? Why are you here?” Wan’er jumped off the rockery and asked curiously.

Kong Ning took a deep breath and said, “Miss Wan’er, when I was patrolling the street just now, I passed by the nearby Qingban Bridge, and I felt that there was something evil hidden on the bridge. But after I checked it, I found nothing. , I don’t know if I made a mistake… Would you like to take a look?”

Kong Ning’s words surprised the girl.

“Ning Zhaotou, have you noticed the evil?”

In the eyes of the young girl, this Ning Zhaotou was just a mortal with good martial arts. Although he had a high talent in kendo, he had not yet formally set foot on the path of cultivation.

Although the martial artist’s blood is strong, it is difficult to deal with powerful monsters.

Before Kong Ning was able to detect that there were monsters hiding in the Xu Mansion in the north of the city, it had surprised the girl, but now he has gained something?

If it is true, this spiritual sense is too keen, right?

The girl immediately went straight to Qingbanqiao.

Kong Ning, on the other hand, stayed in the courtyard and waited for the girl to come back.

Su Yan’s eyeliner is hidden in the city, but Kong Ning doesn’t know who it is.

Therefore, when you are outside during the day, you have to avoid appearing with the girl at the same time.

Anyway, Kong Ning has already given the information that should be given, and the rest is left to Wan’er, a professional, to check it out, and he won’t be able to help much.

After waiting in the yard for about a quarter of an hour, Kong Ning saw the girl come back.

Wan’er’s face,

Full of excitement.

“Ning Zhaotou, that’s not evil!” The girl said excitedly, “It’s a ghost market!”

Kong Ning was a little surprised: “Ghost market? What is ghost market?”

It was the first time that Kong Ning heard this term.

The girl explained: “The so-called ghost market, as the name suggests, is where the evil ghosts are entrenched.”

“It is recorded in the classics of Shimen that there are evil ghosts in some remote areas in the underworld, which are called ghost cities. Ghost cities are often located on the border of the underworld and adjacent to the human world, which is a special place between the underworld and the human world.”

“Whenever the Mid-Yuan Festival comes, the evil spirits will be able to enter the world through the ghost city to cause disaster.”

“Before the catastrophe came, the City God of Yin Si ruled over the underworld. Those evil ghosts who have accumulated years hid in the ghost city to escape the arrest of the Yin Si.”

“And my investigation in the past few days has confirmed that the Yin Division of Shanlan County has been completely destroyed, the gods of the underworld have disappeared, and even the gate of hell no longer exists. It is probably that the gods of the underworld completely closed it before they died to prevent the evil spirits of the underworld from entering the world. .”

“So the ghost market behind the Qingban Bridge is now the only entrance for the evil spirits to enter the county. On the day of the Mid-Yuan Festival, the evil spirits will pour into the world from here.”

Speaking of this, the girl was slightly excited: “And now that we know the location of this entrance, it is extremely beneficial!”

“The entrance here is narrow, and there won’t be too many evil spirits coming out at the same time. Together, the two of us will be enough to block the gate.”

“As long as we block this entrance during the Mid-Autumn Festival and prevent the evil spirits from crawling out, UU Reading www.sonicmtl.com will be able to prevent the lives of the people in the city from being ruined!”

The girl was excited and excited, rejoicing at the sudden joyous event.

Kong Ning hesitated, and said, “But evil spirits are entrenched in the Yin Division. If there are evil spirits that are beyond your ability and me, and we stay outside, wouldn’t we be seeking our own death?”

The girl smiled and shook her head: “Ning Zhaotou, wait for Wan’er to elaborate.”

“When the Mid-Yuan Festival comes, the Yin Si and the human world will overlap, and the powerful evil spirits do not need to go through the gate to come directly to the human world. Just like the few evil ghosts we killed before, it is clear that the Mid-Yuan Festival has not yet arrived. , has already escaped early.”

“On the day of the Chinese New Year’s Day, only the evil spirits who are not strong enough need to go through the passage of this ghost market.”

“So we stay outside the ghost city, and we won’t run into too strong evil spirits.”

“And the evil spirits coming out of the ghost city’s passage, although weak, but huge in number, pose the greatest threat to the living beings in the city. After all, mortals have no way to defend against evil spirits.”

“We guard the entrance here, don’t teach those evil spirits to climb out, and block them in the ghost city, which is a great thing for the residents of the city.”

Wan’er said, “Ning Zhaotou, there are three days left until Zhongyuan.”

“In these three days, I will set up a formation at the entrance of the ghost market and arrange it in advance. Ning Caotou, you will stay at home to recharge and recuperate.”

“On the night of Zhongyuan, we will meet again at Qingbanqiao and work together to guard the entrance to the ghost market.”

“The only worry now is the monster in Ning Caotou’s house.”

“On the day of the Mid-Autumn Festival, she will definitely make a big move. Ning Caotou has to be careful not to let the monster notice the abnormality.”
