I’m Being Held Captive by Demons - Chapter 89

[Chapter 89 Steamed Bread and Bread]

In the sun, the bright sunshine fell on the mountain where the ruined Chenghuang Temple was located.

Passing through the barren Yinsi and returning to Kongning in the Yangjing, I only felt that the sun was slightly dazzling.

The huge archway of the City God Temple stood silently behind them, covered with vines and creeping tigers, and it became more and more desolate and miserable.

Because Kong Ning and the others knew that the Yin Division of Shanlan County was completely empty.

Even the demonic city god Zheng Shen is dead, and the barren underworld has no life.

No one knows when it will be rebuilt in the future.

After all, in this world, people can’t even grasp tomorrow, how can they dare to hope for the future?

Kong Ning and Wan’er stood side by side in this mountain pass to the north of the county town. From a distance, they could overlook the county town at the foot of the mountain.

Shanlan County in the noon sun still maintains the tranquility of the past.

But such tranquility is just an appearance.

Kong Ning and Wan’er looked at each other and sighed at the same time.

Although the trip to Yin Si went well beyond the expectations of the two, they easily killed the ghost of the city god who was frightened by Kong Ning’s demon body.

But after staying in the gloomy underworld for a long time, the two living people always pressed a big stone on their hearts.

Now that I have returned to the world, I can smell the sober air in the mountains again, and I just feel like I have passed away.

Kong Ning said, “Wan’er, take the scabbard back to Tian’s abandoned house first, and I’ll go to the county government to arrest the county magistrate and check if he is being controlled by a demon.”

“I have illusions, it will be easier to torture and arrest people.”

The soul-eating demon, the Nightmare Tapir, is a monster with a weak body but a powerful talent.

Their magical powers are extremely powerful.

It’s just that this kind of monster with a weak body is generally difficult to live to the realm of high cultivation.

Kong Ning’s two hundred and eighty years of demonic Taoism, and the illusion that he has mobilized, can be confused with the real.

Even if the county magistrate was taken away from the yamen in public, no one would stop him.

But at this moment, Xu Miaoyi’s voice sounded in Kong Ning’s ears.

“Eunuch, there is something Miaoyi almost forgot to say.”

Xu Miaoyi, who was entrusted in the scabbard, directly communicated with Kong Ning, and said, “When Miaoyi was with Engong before, she originally entrusted her with the blade.”

“But when the benefactor came home, Miaoyi suddenly felt an extremely strong and terrifying demonic aura lingering in Huaishu Alley.”

“Miaoyi tried to call her benefactor, but the moment she spoke, she was shocked by the demon power.”

“Thus, I was shaken into the underworld and into the scabbard of the City God Ghost.”

“It seems that there is some connection between the blade and the scabbard…”

Xu Miaoyi said worriedly: “Eunuch, that monster in your house is extremely terrifying.”

“If you go back to the city, avoid that thing first.”

Kong Ning nodded and said, “Understood, I will be careful.”

Although Kong Ning did not intend to return to Huaishu Lane.

The scorpion essence has disappeared for so long, and I don’t know if it has come back.

If she came back last night and she went home now, it would be difficult to explain the meeting between the two.

As Xu Miaoyi said, the scorpion spirit is strange and inexplicable, and Kong Ning still intends to use the monsters in the city first.

At least these monsters in the city are very clear about their origins, they are just local little monsters.

Unlike the scorpion essence, her origin is mysterious, and she has no idea how many means and ultimate moves she has.

Persimmons must be picked up softly.

Leaving the barren Chenghuangmiao Mountain, Kong Ning and Wan’er went straight to the county town along the path down the mountain.

The white dew has passed, and in today’s season, even the noon sun will not be very scorching and unbearable.

Kong Ning and Wan’er have to part when they step into the north gate.

But at this moment, Wan’er frowned suddenly and said, “Ning Zhaotou, wait a moment. It seems that something happened to Caiwei.”

Wan’er’s words,

Let Kong Ning leave the footsteps abruptly, and turned around.

“What happened to Caiwei?”

“Maybe…” Wan’er felt deeply and said in a low voice, “I set a ban near Tian’s old house, so even if we leave, we can still protect Caiwei.”

“But now Caiwei doesn’t seem to be in Tian’s old house anymore…”

Wan’er frowned, very puzzled: “But the ban has not been broken, but Caiwei has disappeared. Did she go out by herself?”

Kong Ning looked at the sky and said, “Let’s go and have a look. Maybe the little girl is hungry and goes out to find something to eat.”

Wan’er shook her head and said, “Impossible. When I left, there were a lot of steamed buns and cakes in the house. She was hungry, she just had to eat steamed buns and flat cakes. It was impossible to go out to find something to eat.”

While the two were talking, they walked quickly towards the south of the city, to check on Xu Caiwei’s situation first.

Dare not to delay for a moment.

It’s just that the two have been gone for so long, if something were to happen, it would definitely have happened long ago.

But the problem is that now Xu Caiwei has lost the magical energy of the innate demons and is basically useless. What are the monsters in the city arresting her for?

The prohibition set by Wan’er is absolutely inaccessible to mortals, and only the demons may cross the prohibition to arrest people.

Could it be a dog-blooded threat to take hostages…

But if the monsters had known that Wan’er was in the Tian family’s old house, they would not need a hostage, and they would have rushed up together, and Wan’er would have had no choice but to flee.

There is no need for the monsters to take such troublesome hostage threats.

The strangeness of the situation made Kong Ning vigilant.

The figures of the two people shuttled quickly in the city. If they weren’t concerned about the existence of the demons in the city, the two of them would go straight with their swords.

But even so, UU Reading www.sonicmtl.com they quickly rushed to the old abandoned house in the small street in the south of the city.

After rushing into the third courtyard of Tian’s abandoned house, what he saw was an empty courtyard and an empty house.

The little girl who had been resting on the bed was gone.

Beside the simple bed board, there are several large bags of dry and hard flour cakes and steamed buns.

These should be the food Wan’er and Xu Caiwei eat on weekdays.

I don’t know how long the noodles and steamed buns have been stored, all of them are dry and hard, and the portion is very large, enough for two people to eat for more than ten days.

Seeing this scene, Kong Ning was slightly shocked.

Even in a critical situation, he couldn’t help but ask.

“This…you eat this on weekdays?”

When Wan’er said that she had prepared steamed bread for Xu Caiwei, Kong Ning thought it was a temporary ration.

But now it seems that you are the standing food for feelings?

Wan’er asked in surprise: “Yes, is there any problem?”

“…” Kong Ning was slightly speechless.

Especially the innocent and innocent expression on the girl’s face made him suddenly think that when the two met for the first time, this girl ate a table of his home-cooked food, and she said gratefully that she wanted to repay her kindness.

Look at this pile of dry and hard buns…

The corners of Kong Ning’s mouth twitched, and he asked, “That… Miss Wan’er, take the liberty to ask. Are you not tired of eating steamed bread every day?”

The girl said as a matter of course: “Of course not tired, this steamed bread is delicious.”

“Ning Zhaotou, you don’t know, when my parents and I were farming in the village, we could only eat big white flour steamed buns during the festivals.”

“Now that Wan’er can eat steamed buns every day, if the villagers know about it, they will be envious to death.”
