I’m Being Held Captive by Demons - Chapter 76

[Chapter 76 Su Yan’s Disappearance]

The moonlight is cool.

As the Mid-Autumn Festival is approaching, the moon is getting warmer.

But still not full.

Looking up, you can see the moon among the stars, which is the first quarter moon.

Kong Ning, who was sitting alone in the yard, waited all night.

Until the sky brightened, the sun rose from the mountains, and the dawn pierced the night, Su Yan still hadn’t come back.

This is slightly wrong.

Even if the demon girl found out that it was late after checking the county magistrate, she went straight to the trouble of the monsters, and she would not have come back at dawn.

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

But yesterday, the weather in the county town was calm, no demonic energy erupted, and the demons did not fight.

With Su Yan’s strength and cultivation, even if she encounters an ambush and is really plotted to death, it’s impossible not to be able to even struggle to the death, right?

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

With the strength of the monsters in the county town, it is impossible to solve her silently, otherwise Su Yan would have died early.

So where did this scorpion essence go?

Did it really disappear out of thin air?

If it weren’t for the demon egg in his stomach, he could still sense that there were clothes left by the other party in the marriage room, Kong Ning almost thought that he was just having a horrible nightmare and that there was no Su Yan in the world.

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

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

Kong Ning, who hadn’t had dinner last night, and now doesn’t have breakfast either, led the jujube yellow horse out of Huaishu Lane and headed towards the yamen.

The monster’s strength is far above him, and he has a bloody 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 the county magistrate really had a problem, so that Su Yan found the flaws in the monsters in the city, so she went to investigate.

Thinking about all kinds of possibilities, Kong Ning rode a jujube yellow horse to the county government office and went to work in Dianmao.

The situation is unclear, he did not act rashly, and still maintained his usual routine.

After the point was over, I found a quiet corner to read a book.

However, his mind was inexplicably restless.

It seemed that something sinister had happened somewhere.

Could it be that Wan’er was found by the scorpion spirit?

Or what danger did Wan’er encounter?

The first thought in Kong Ning’s mind was this possibility.

In the current county town, in addition to her parents, Kong Ning is also concerned about Wan’er’s safety.

As for the scorpion spirit, Kong Ning would probably set off firecrackers to celebrate when he died.

Impossible to worry about her.

He spent two hours in the yamen like sitting on pins and needles, and when it was noon, Kong Ning rode a jujube yellow horse to patrol the streets.

Instead of approaching Tian’s abandoned house rashly, he rode a horse and strolled around the south of the city.

From a distance, I could feel a certain aura in the Tian family’s abandoned house.

It belongs to Wan’er’s spiritual power. The two of them concluded some kind of secret spell before. They don’t need to meet each other, as long as they get close to a certain distance, they can sense each other’s breath.

In this way, Wan’er doesn’t need to enter Huashu Alley, as long as she is close to Kong Ning’s home, she can also perceive the safety of Kong Ning.

Originally, the girl was worried that Kong Ning and the scorpion essence would encounter danger when they stayed together every day, but the technique they concluded was now used by Kong Ning instead.

However, nothing happened to Wan’er, so Kong Ning breathed a sigh of relief.

Riding on the jujube yellow horse as usual, and wandering around the city for a while as usual, Kong Ning returned to the yamen for lunch.

Then when entering the county office, I saw the county magistrate and his brother-in-law sitting in a sedan chair and entering the county office gate.

When Kong Ning dismounted, the county magistrate greeted Kong Ning with a smile,

Shows reliance on Kongning.

Kong Ning was stunned, but his expression remained the same. He smiled and chatted with the county magistrate and his brother-in-law, and finally watched the county magistrate enter the back hall.

His brows furrowed slightly.

The appearance of the county magistrate looked no different from usual.

Kong Ning just tested his words and found that the Nuo opera sacrifices will be held as usual, and the county magistrate’s brother-in-law is almost ready.

There was no sign that Su Yan had used magic to intimidate the two of them.

… Could it be that after Su Yan went out yesterday morning, didn’t she go to the county magistrate?

So where did she go?

He didn’t go home for a whole day and night, and he didn’t go to the county magistrate to investigate the traces of demons. Could it be that he really disappeared?

Kong Ning was confused, and when he found someone, he entered the back hall and lurked in the dark to eavesdrop on the conversation between the county magistrate and his brother-in-law.

The two were still talking about how to make money during the Mid-Autumn Festival. The county magistrate’s brother-in-law was very much 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 spending another afternoon in the county government office, Kong Ning rode a jujube yellow horse and left the county government office.

Going alone towards Hua Shu Alley.

The old locust tree with withered leaves, the once lush canopy, is now about to lose all its leaves, and the alley is full of dead leaves dropped by the locust tree.

The father under the tree leaned against the old locust tree, closed his eyes, and seemed to be a little unwell.

Kong Ning asked two questions, but got no response. His father leaned there with an indifferent expression, completely ignoring Kong Ning.

On the contrary, the mother smiled and chatted with Kong Ning, saying that it was no problem, dispelling the doubts in Kong Ning’s heart.

Only then did Kong Ning lead the jujube yellow horse into the yard.

The courtyard was still silent.

In the stove room, it was deserted, and there was no sound of hot oil tumbling cooking.

The front yard and the back yard were all cold and silent, and Su Yan was nowhere to be seen.

Even everything in the yard and the 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 from his family, and Su Yan did not come back.

In a trance, Kong Ning seemed to have returned to the days before he met Su Yan.

After returning from the office every afternoon, I sat alone in the deserted courtyard, no one spoke, no one communicated, and even the cooking only required one person’s share.

But at that time, he could still go to Chunfenglou to listen to music with Ma Liu and the others from time to time, and go to Zuixianlou to make dinner appointments.

Now, he doesn’t seem to be able to get out of this yard.

The quiet and dead yard makes people feel inexplicably flustered.

Su Yan, this scorpion spirit, shouldn’t it really be missing?

Or, what is the danger?

Although the scorpion’s cultivation is extraordinary, three hundred years of Taoism is equivalent to the sky refining realm, and it can overwhelm one side in Shanlan County.

But compared to those real bigwigs, it’s still far behind.

Tianmen, Liankong, Yuanshen, Habitat, Zifu…

Of the five major cultivation realms, the sky refining realm is just a new entry.

It would not be surprising if some top-level monster passed by and killed 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 demons passing by, right?
