I’m Being Held Captive by Demons - Chapter 75

[Chapter 75 Healthy Books]

The research on the mysterious black pot did not last long.

After Kong Ning had a general understanding of the situation, he silently recited the “Sutra of Enlightenment” to regulate the demon power in his body.

The demon power from different monsters, although refined by the mysterious black tank, has been completely used by Kong Ning.

However, the complex and different demon powers are mixed together, and there is always a sense of stagnation when using it.

Silently reciting the “Enlightenment Classic” in his heart can help Kong Ning to continuously purify and integrate those chaotic and complicated demon powers, making Kong Ning a more handy envoy.

Although the further back, the effect will be more general.

But in the end, it is still effective, and it is also a major pastime for Kong Ning to pass the time.

Now he has nothing to do.

Wan’er did not send a message to inform him that the mysterious black tank had not accumulated enough fog to find the demon.

It’s Su Yan’s side that needs to be a little more careful.

But it will take time for Su Yan to investigate the county magistrate and cast a scary spell.

Even if Kong Ning was lazy to go home now, he probably wouldn’t be able to see the demon girl, so he stayed at the yamen and fished in peace.

At noon, a few of them who were familiar with Ma Liuwang Hu went to Zuixianlou for lunch and returned to the Yamen in the afternoon to continue fishing.

When the yamen was released at dusk, Kong Ning took the Zaohuang horse to say goodbye to Ma Liu and the others, and once again declined the invitation to go to Chunfenglou to have a drink together, and rode the Zaohuang horse to Huaishu Lane alone.

In the county town, the afterglow of the setting sun fell between the streets and alleys, reflecting the bluestone-paved streets in blood red.

Everyone walking on the street seemed to be covered in a faint glow of blood.

It was early autumn, and although it was still hot at noon, it was already cold at dusk.

A gust of cool wind blew past, rolling up dead leaves.

When Kong Ning rode a jujube yellow horse past the entrance of Dianyu Bookstore, the shopkeeper Yu Shusheng was about to close the door.

Seeing Kong Ning passing by on a horse, Scholar Yu, who was in his thirties and with a thin body, hurriedly shouted.

“Ning Zhaotou! Wait a minute! Please stop!”

Kong Ning stopped at the side of the road, looking at the 30-year-old scholar who had accomplished nothing and was guarding an old bookstore, and asked, “Is there something wrong?”

But seeing the scholar rubbed his hands crampedly, a smile spread across his face.

“There’s a new batch of good books in the villain’s shop, and they’re about to be sent to Ning Zhaotou for tasting. Since Ning Zhaotou was passing by, the villain just served them up…Ning Zhaotou wait a moment.”

Saying that, Scholar Yu hurriedly ran into the house and said.

“It’ll be ready soon, Ning Zhaotou, wait a moment! It’ll be right away!”

This thin and thin scholar was afraid that Kong Ning would be impatient and leave.

However, his movements were quick, and he didn’t make Kong Ning wait long.

After about forty or fifty breaths, Scholar Yu walked out holding a heavy wooden box and smiled flatteringly.

“These are the newly arrived books in the villain shop. They are all fine products. I hope Ning Zhaotou can bring them back to taste them.”

This scholar, in broad daylight, would have to pay a bribe.

Kong Ning looked at his nervous and scared look in surprise, and suddenly remembered that when he went to the yamen to ask for leave a few days ago, he did ask Wang Hu and the others to take care of this guy.

Now it looks like this guy has been taken care of.

Kong Ning took the box of books with a smile, weighed the weight, and said, “The books in this are all healthy, right?”

“I’m a serious person. I only like healthy books. I don’t want unhealthy books.”

The few broken books sent by this guy before have caused Kong Ning to be tossed enough, otherwise he would not have called someone to take care of Dianyushu Pavilion.

If this guy keeps his eyes open and dares to send unhealthy books, Kong Ning is afraid that he will drink medicine every day like Lao Zhang.

And Kong Ning’s question made Yu Scholar nodded quickly, and assured with a flattering smile: “Healthy and healthy! Very healthy! Absolutely healthy! I won’t let Ning Chutou disappointed.”

Kong Ning just nodded.

Said: “Okay, then I’ll take your mind. I’ll take these books back and read them slowly. You kid will be smarter in the future, don’t sell those unscrupulous books.”

“Forbidden books, banned books, all banned books, how can you sell them casually?”

“Fortunately it’s me this time. If you let the adults know that Yushu Pavilion sells banned books, I’m afraid that your bookstore will be sealed.”

Kong Ning then said the scene and prepared to leave.

Scholar Yu nodded again and again and said, “That’s right, Ning Zhaotou taught me a lesson. In the future, the villain will sell books obediently and stop messing around. I hope Ning Zhaotou will take care of him.”

“It’s easy to talk about it,” Kong Ning said, holding a heavy box of books, “Be smart in the future, don’t sell those unhealthy books indiscriminately.”

With that said, Kong Ning rode away.

As for the books in the box, it’s hard to open the box while riding a horse, so I plan to read it slowly after I go back.

Even the scholar did not dare to lie to him.

Stepping into the afterglow of the setting sun, Kong Ning rode a jujube yellow horse back to Huaishu Lane.

Under the locust tree in front of the house, my parents sat and enjoyed the coolness as always.

The old locust tree with withered leaves seems to be suffering from disease. Not only does it lose its leaves, but even the leaves start to turn yellow.

The father, who was resting on the old locust tree, had dead leaves falling from time to time.

Looking at this scene, it is inexplicably depressing.

Standing under the tree and chatting with his mother for a while, Kong Ning walked into the yard.

However, the courtyard was empty and silent.

The sound of cooking vegetables, which I hear every evening when I go home from the ya, didn’t sound today.

In the deserted kitchen, there was neither the sound of hot oil tumbling nor a beautiful face sticking out to greet Kong Ning who came home with a smile.

Holding a heavy box of books and holding a jujube yellow horse, he stood at the door stunned for a moment.

Almost suspected that he had entered the wrong door.

What about scorpion sperm?

Why haven’t you come back yet?

It’s so late, you should be back early, right?

Kong Ning frowned slightly, led the jujube yellow horse into the stable, then carried the bookcase into the house, and changed out of the fast-catching suit.

The front yard and the back yard were still quiet, and there was no trace of the witch.

The cat demon head hanging under the eaves of the backyard, his eyes widened, as if he was cursing Kong Ning.

Kong Ning turned around and saw no sign of the witch, so he had to go back to the wedding room and sit for a while.

Then I remembered that I hadn’t opened the book box to see what books were in it, so I got up and carried the book box over. UU Reading www.sonicmtl.

com to open it.

What appeared in Kong Ning’s field of vision was a pile of neatly stacked and beautifully packaged books.

In this day and age, such a box of books is definitely worth a lot of money.

The top one is the most popular novel of the moment.

Kong Ning turned it over one by one, but found that in addition to the above few books, the seven or eight books below were all banned books that rarely circulated on the market and that Su Yan loved to read.

Thinking back to Scholar Yu’s flattering smile just now, Kong Ning suddenly had black lines all over his face.

That wretched scholar Yu obviously misunderstood what Kong Ning meant, thinking that Kong Ning was asking for a new banned book.

Damn, if Su Yan sees this box of books, something will definitely happen.

Kong Ning looked up at the sky with a guilty conscience, and found that the scorpion essence hadn’t come back. He quickly took out the forbidden book and wanted to throw it into the stove and burn it.

But when I walked out the door, I suddenly thought that the witch could come back at any time. If the book was half burned and she came back, seeing Kong Ning burning the book, I’m afraid it would be difficult to explain.

To be safe, Kong Ning ran into the backyard with these eight books, and hid the books in the utility room.

Going back to find a chance to deal with it.

Next, Kong Ning returned to the front yard, sat in the yard, and waited for the scorpion essence to come back, so that he could ask the county magistrate about it.

However, after this wait, most of the night has passed.

Until the third watch, when the moon was in the middle of the sky, the entire county fell into a dead silence. Kong Ning, who was sitting alone under the eaves, still did not wait for Su Yan’s figure.

The cold night wind blew the branches and leaves of the locust tree overhead, making a rustling sound.

In the strangely quiet darkness, Kong Ning suddenly had an illusion.

That cruel and vicious scorpion essence seems to have disappeared from this world…
