I’m Being Held Captive by Demons - Chapter 71

[Chapter 71 It’s Strange]

“Although the gate of ghosts is closed, the ghosts can’t get in.”

Wan’er explained: “I have to correct Ning Zhaotou on this point.”

“Although the gate of ghosts is closed, all the yin and gods in the yin division have died out. But that is only the lack of black and white impermanence, bull-headed horse-faced and other ghosts to guide the soul.”

“Without the guidance of the ghost messenger, seven days after a person’s death, the remnant souls will gradually condense and become wandering souls wandering in the world.”

“And they are not in the world, and the longer they stay in the world, the more difficult it will be.”

“Whether it’s wind, sun or rain, it’s a torment for them.”

“These wandering ghosts will eventually wander towards the gate of the ghost gate unconsciously, and eventually hide in the underworld.”

“It is indeed difficult for us living people to enter the closed gate of hell.”

“But these dead lonely ghosts are already spiritual bodies, but they can easily enter the underworld.”

“You can’t get out just after you go in.”

Wan’er said: “I’ve seen it before, the ghost guards who closed the gate of the ghost gate only blocked the way out from the inside, but specially left a path for the wandering ghosts outside to enter.”

Speaking of this, Wan’er couldn’t help but sighed.

“It’s a pity that such a move was originally well-intentioned, but in the end it fueled the arrogance of the ghost of the city god in the Yin Division.”

“In the past 20 years, he has continuously enslaved the ghosts of Yin Si, absorbed the yang energy of the world, and greatly strengthened the ghost body.”

“That’s why the city god ghost’s spirit body is so huge.”

“At least half of the ghosts of the people who died in Shanlan County over the past ten years were swallowed up by it. The rest were all locked in the ghost market and lost themselves.”

Wan’er said: “Miss Xu San’s ghost, according to common sense, there is no ghost of the ghost to pick up and lead it, and it will take seven days to condense and manifest.”

“And there is no Yin Shi, this kind of self-condensed and manifested ghosts, all have no intellect, and are confused, leaving only the most basic instincts, which are no different from dementia.”

“So even if Miss Xu San’s ghost is condensed, she will definitely not remember the past, love and hatred, and she will not come here to touch Caiwei’s head.”

Wan’er looked at Kong Ning and said helplessly, “It’s very likely that Ning Caotou has caught your eye.”

Kong Ning frowned, constantly recalling the startling glance when he turned around.

Although it was only for a moment, the picture was very real.

Unlikely dazzling.

Kong Ning frowned and said, “Then there is no other possibility besides this? For example, Miss Xu San is so talented that she can condense her soul just after death?”

Wan’er smiled helplessly, and said, “This possibility is not without… If Miss Xu San is resentful and has a strong character. Then after a tragic death, she will directly transform into an evil ghost and linger in the world.”

“But the yard is empty, there is no yin, and no evil ghost dares to show up in the light of day.”

“As for resentment… When Miss Xu San died, her obsession had vanished, and Ning Zhaotou promised to help her take care of her children and avenge her deep revenge. It can be said that she walked very peacefully, and it was impossible to turn into an evil spirit. ”

Wan’er said: “Ten thousand steps back, even if Miss Xu San is really resentful and turned into an evil spirit. But a evil spirit can haunt both of us… Ning Zhaotou, what do you think? is it possible?”

Kong Ning thought for a while, then nodded helplessly: “It’s really unlikely, I’m probably dazzled.”

Although I don’t think it’s possible for me to see Huayan, but compared with Wan’er’s meticulous reasoning, it seems more logical to see Huayan by myself.

After leaving Tian’s abandoned house, Kong Ning rode a jujube yellow horse back to the county office.

Along the way, he carefully observed the situation around him, around him, around him, out of the corner of his eyes, and paid attention to everything around him.

However, the figure of the woman in red never appeared again.

Seeing Xu Miaoyi’s ghost in Tian’s abandoned house,

It seems to be really his delusion.

When I returned to the yamen, it was time for dinner.

Today, the arresters didn’t go out to eat, but sat in the courtyard of the yamen and set up a banquet.

When Kong Ning arrived, everyone greeted him and took his seat.

Kong Ning was a little confused: “What happened today? Why did you suddenly set up a seat in the yard?”

Ma Liudao on the side: “Today, the adults are treating guests, so you must have a good meal.”

Kong Ning’s expression was astonished and unbelievable: “Your Excellency treats a guest?”

That stingy and stingy county magistrate?

Also asked the county government to catch more than 300 people up and down?

Kong Ning immediately asked in a low voice, “Did something happen?”

Their county magistrate is notoriously stingy.

To eat him a meal, I am afraid that the labor of ten meals will have to be vomited out.

Sure enough, Ma Liu whispered, “Sir, let us eat and drink enough, and go to the mountains to chop down trees in the afternoon.”

“The batch of sycamore wood he bought from Hejian Mansion doesn’t seem to be enough.”

Before, the county magistrate asked Zhang Rong and the other ten arresters to escort the monster’s body to Hejianfu. When they came back, those arresters did help the county magistrate to buy a batch of locust trees and brought them back to the county magistrate’s carpenter brother-in-law’s house. yard.

Kong Ning didn’t need to do the coolie because it was the reason for the head arrest, so he didn’t move it in person, but he also heard other people in the yamen talk about it.

Not enough locust wood now?

The county magistrate wants to call everyone to go to the mountains to cut?

There are indeed quite a lot of yin locust trees in the mountains, UU reading www.sonicmtl.com But if Kong Ning remembers correctly, there were several cars of yin locust trees towed back from Hejianfu last time, right?

Still not enough?

The county magistrate, this little brother-in-law, why do you want so much yin locust wood?

Kong Ning was very puzzled.

After asking around for a while, I roughly understood the cause and effect.

The county magistrate’s brother-in-law used this batch of yin locust wood to make masks for Nuo opera.

And since the locust tree arrived last month, that guy’s workshop has been working day and night without stopping, working overtime to make Nuo opera masks.

The leader of the soap room told Kong Ning in a low voice that the county magistrate planned to restart the Nuo opera sacrifice on the Mid-Autumn Festival, and invited people to perform the Nuo opera, worship the heaven and earth, and pray for a good harvest.

Tomorrow, the yamen will be going to put up a notice to let the people in the city know about it and cooperate.

The county magistrate’s brother-in-law worked overtime to make this batch of Nuo opera masks, obviously intending to make a fortune during the Mid-Autumn Festival.

After all, the villagers of this world must participate in such a major event as Nuo opera sacrifice, and no one dares to be absent.

At that time, the people of the whole city can only buy the Nuo opera masks of the county magistrate and brother-in-law…

This is really…

Kong Ning shook his head wordlessly, and finally sorted out the cause and effect.

And if he guessed right, the magistrate himself also took a stake in this business.

So many locust trees are not a small sum of money.

But Nuo opera… Shanlan County has not held such large-scale Nuo opera sacrifices for several years.

The county magistrate is suddenly so windy that he wants to hold a Nuo opera sacrifice?

Could it be that he has been in a tight spot recently?

But I haven’t heard that the county magistrate is short of money recently… It’s really strange.
