I’m Being Held Captive by Demons - Chapter 79

[Chapter 79: Overnight in a brothel]

Kong Ning’s heart calmed down a bit.

The chaotic fog in front of him seems to have dispersed a lot.

He had already determined that on the Mid-Autumn Festival, some kind of evil would happen in the city.

Then the next thing to do is to see tricks and dismantle tricks.

As for the whereabouts of Su Yan’s scorpion essence, it was not important at this time.

Lying on the bed, after a long sleep, Kong Ning didn’t walk out of the wedding room until the sky was bright.

On the ninth day of the eighth lunar month, the fourth day after Su Yan disappeared.

Kong Ning led the Zaohuang horse out of Huaishu Lane, rode to the county yadianmao, and continued to play the role of a mortal headhunter.

Everything in the county town maintains the tranquility and peace of the past.

People were unaware of the impending danger.

Just like on the night of the Mid-Autumn Festival, they were sucked by a large amount of yang energy by the city god ghost, and they were also unaware.

The people of the city continued to play the role of ignorant livestock.

And those demons who have kept mortals in captivity sharpen their knives in the dark, and only wait until August 15th, and then open their bans.

Kong Ning did not rashly contact Wan’er.

In my heart, I was still worried about the existence of Su Yan’s demon girl, and suspected that Su Yan had been following him and spying on his movements.

This is what that witch can do.

Anyway, there are still six days left until the Mid-Autumn Festival on August 15th.

Don’t worry for now.

The blood-colored mist in the mysterious black tank was not full.

According to the usual efficiency, the mist in this mysterious black tank should be able to accumulate before August 15th.

At that time, Kong Ning found Wan’er directly, and the two joined forces again to kill a demon.

Kong Ning estimates that if he kills a demon again, he will probably have a cultivation base of more than 250 years.

Maybe even higher.

Coupled with the Qiongguang Sword Canon and his transformation into a free demon, he has the confidence to disrupt the situation during the Mid-Autumn Festival.

And now Kong Ning, who has only practiced Taoism for two hundred years, is still a little short of trying to fight the demons head-on.

Small intolerance can lead to chaos, Kong Ning must continue to forbear.

Only with enough caution can you survive.

When he came to the county office, Kong Ning continued to play his role as a head hunter without showing any abnormality.

He didn’t even contact the magistrate.

Although the Nuo opera activities of the county magistrate and his brother-in-law on the Mid-Autumn Festival seem to be just a coincidence.

But the county magistrate still has the possibility of being controlled by demons, Kong Ning didn’t want to startle the snake.

Anyway, if the Nuo opera sacrifice was cancelled, it was just a matter of posting a notice.

Even if I go to intimidate the county magistrate and force him to cancel it on August 15th.

Kong Ning was not in a hurry at all.

Just like that, the day passed quickly.

At dusk, Kong Ning went home as usual, but did not see Su Yan.

The scorpion essence did not come back.

So the next day, on the tenth day of the eighth lunar month, the fifth day after Su Yan disappeared, Kong Ning accepted the invitation from Ma Liu and the others to go to Chunfenglou to listen to the little song.

Did not go straight home.

There’s no one at home anyway.

There is a lack of entertainment in this world, and music is something that ordinary people cannot look up to.

It is only because they are not worried about eating and drinking, they can often stroll around Chunfenglou and listen to little songs.

And all of them are performed live, played and sung in person.

The young girl wearing tulle and bare shoulders is graceful and gentle, holding the lute with charming eyes, or sitting behind the piano, playing melodious notes.

There are interactions from time to time.

To be honest, it’s quite interesting, much more interesting than listening to music alone with headphones.

And Kong Ning, who had never been to Chunfenglou after the wedding, was greeted with a grand welcome as soon as he entered the gate.

Knowing that Kong Ning was coming, the top girl Yue’er even turned away the original guest and came to the elegant room to accompany Kong Ning to drink.

As the newly appointed head of the shift room, Kong Ning is still very good at Chunfenglou.

After all, a place like a brothel and a casino must have a good relationship with the yamen.

Kong Ning and the rest of his colleagues drank extremely happily, full of alcohol, completely forgetting Su Yan’s previous warning to him to drink less.

It wasn’t until the middle of the month, when everyone had almost drank, and went into the house with their arms around the girl, Kong Ning walked out with his waist knife on his back.

After coping with the farewell of the prostitute and Miss Yue’er, Kong Ning rode a jujube yellow horse and staggered towards Huaishu Lane.

After opening the courtyard door, what I saw was still a deserted courtyard.

Su Yan did not come back.

And Kong Ning went to Chunfenglou to drink flower wine, and he was still drunk, and he didn’t jump out of a scorpion spirit from the dark to scare him.

It seems that the scorpion essence is not following him?

Or, simply hugging the little girl and drinking flower wine will not stimulate Su Yan?

Kong Ning took a shower and lay down on the bed to sleep.

That night, Su Yan did not come back.

After a night of silence, after dawn, Kong Ning woke up and went directly to the Yamen Dianmao.

And as soon as they entered the door, they made an appointment with Ma Liu and the others to let the ya go to Chunfenglou to play.

On the eleventh day of the eighth lunar month, the sixth day after Su Yan disappeared.

At dusk, Kong Ning, who was released from the office, and Ma Liuwang Hu and the others made an appointment to come to the Spring Wind Tower.

Just like yesterday, indulge in laughter, drink and listen to music, which is very enjoyable.

And this time, when everyone put their arms around the girl and entered the house, Kong Ning didn’t leave.

Instead, she smiled, hugged the girl Yue’er, who was the top of the Spring Breeze Building, and walked into a separate back room.

If even this kind of behavior can’t stimulate Su Yan to come out, it will probably prove that the demon girl is not by Kong Ning’s side.

The final verification result was that the demon girl did not come out.

Until the second watch, Kong Ning, who re-dressed and walked out of the Chunfeng Building, rode a jujube yellow horse back to Huaishu Lane, but still did not see Su Yan.

In order to force the demon girl out, Kong Ning did not hesitate to cross the bottom line he had held to for a long time and stayed in the brothel overnight.

But in this way, Su Yan didn’t come out either.

Perhaps, the scorpion essence is really not by his side?

Or, the role of the husband he played, in Scorpion Care, was not as important as he imagined?

Scorpion Jing doesn’t really care what happens to him with other women?

Kong Ning thought about this possibility, took a bath and went to bed, and planned to go again tomorrow.

If Su Yan doesn’t come out tomorrow night, then he will go directly to the south of the city to find Wan’er.

Inside the mysterious black tank in the Qi Sea Dantian, the blood-colored mist is almost dense.

Probably will be able to use tomorrow night, can not delay any longer.

And that night, Kong Ning slept very restlessly.

Hazy, he had a nightmare.

In the dream, the gloomy-looking father sat under the locust tree and quarreled fiercely with the smiling mother.

The louder they are, the more emotional they become.

In the end, the mother shouted excitedly and her face kept shaking, and the wrinkled face fell directly, revealing the rotting and stinking hideous face below.

Father’s hand fell to his side, long roots grew on his fingers, and he beat his mother angrily.

And the mother turned into a terrifying evil ghost and fought with it.

In the end, the withered old locust tree opened a big mouth and swallowed the blood-covered father into the tree.

The mother, who won the fight, yelled at the locust tree in front of her, triumphantly.

But what exactly they were yelling at, Kong Ning was so at a loss that he couldn’t hear it clearly.
