I’m Being Held Captive by Demons

The twelfth day of the eighth lunar month, the seventh day when Su Yan disappeared.

When the first ray of morning light pierced the night sky in Shanlan County and sprinkled the light on the earth, Kong Ning opened his eyes and woke up from the marriage bed.

The pillow was empty, and there was no sign of Su Yan.

That night, Su Yan still didn't come back.

Kong Ning, who had a nightmare all night, only felt dizzy in the head and inexplicably tired in the body.

Practitioners seldom dream, and dreams generally have a foreshadowing.

The dream I had last time indicated that something important would happen in the city during the Mid-Autumn Festival or Double Ninth Festival.

So what does this dream indicate?

Parents who have always gotten along peacefully, will there be verbal disputes, and even fights?

After washing up, Kong Ning led the jujube horse out of the yard.

What I saw was my mother sitting alone under the old locust tree knitting a sweater.

The morning light fell on the mother's body, making her look rosy and radiant, and her mental state became better and better.

And the sweater she knits is basically finished, only the last few stitches need to be finished.

Probably tomorrow or the day after tomorrow, my mother's sweater will be finished.

But the father who has been resting and reading under the old locust tree has disappeared today.

That old locust tree, what happened last night, all the leaves fell off, and now it stands bare in front of the house.

The jagged tree body and the bare branches extending and staggering appear inexplicably bleak and miserable.

The cool morning breeze blew, and the withered yellow leaves rolled up in the pagoda tree alley.

Obviously when Kong Ning came back last night, the old locust tree still had quite a lot of leaves.

But after one night, the leaves are all withered and yellow.

This weird situation surprised Kong Ning.

Mother, where did Dad go? Kong Ning asked in confusion, Why is there no sign of it?

The mother sitting at the gate of the courtyard was knitting a sweater, raised her head cheerfully, and said with a smile, Your father has gone out and will come back later.

Ning'er, are you going to the Yamen? Be careful on the way.

Mother was as kind and kind as ever, caring about Kong Ning.

But Kong Ning looked at his father's usual sitting position, recalling the nightmare he had last night, and frowned.

Where did dad go? I'll go find him.

Kong Ning said: It's almost Mid-Autumn Festival, let him not run around outside. If you have nothing to do, stay at home.

Kong Ning was worried about his father's safety and wanted to find him back.

But the mother shook her head and said: Don't worry, nothing will happen. When your father comes back later, I will tell you.

Ning'er, go to the yamen quickly, don't delay.

Mother urged Kong Ning to leave.

Hearing his mother's voice, he wanted to find Kong Ning whose father was going to the Yamen, but for some reason he gave up this idea and rode away on a jujube horse.

But before leaving, he worriedly told his mother again.

Mom, when dad comes back later, remember to remind him.

Behind him, came the voice of his mother laughing.

Don't worry, mother will tell you, Ning'er go quickly.

Just like that, Kong Ning, who let go of his doubts, came to the yamen on a jujube horse.

As soon as he entered the Yamen, he was immediately surrounded by Ma Liu and the others.

Hey... Ningtou, you are a little bit good. I heard that you did it for more than half an hour last night? Miss Yue'er's voice is hoarse, and today she has to close the door to thank guests.

Ma Liu winked and said with a smile: No wonder you can marry the most beautiful woman in our Shanlan County. This body has nothing to say... Which woman can resist it.

That's right, Ning's head is still fierce.

I'm satisfied if I want to be half as vigorous as Ningtou.

Miss Yue'er has tasted the power of Ningtou, and I'm afraid there will be no man who can satisfy her in the future.

Hey... Ningtou is indeed Ningtou.

The detectives gathered together and blew wildly at Kong Ning.

There is not only flattery to the boss, but also envy and hatred for Kong Ning.

Kong Ning dealt with the crowd helplessly, not knowing whether to laugh or cry.

It's so fast that the Mid-Autumn Festival is coming, and ghosts and ghosts are about to make trouble, and you still have the time to discuss these things.

Sure enough, what Su Yan said is correct, the greatest happiness for domestic animals is ignorance.

But Su Yan...

The demon girl didn't come out in that situation last night, did she really not follow Kong Ning?

Kong Ning couldn't see through this strange scorpion spirit.

But regardless of whether Su Yan followed her or not, Kong Ning had to go find Wan'er tonight.

The mysterious black tank in the dantian qi sea has accumulated enough blood-red mist, and Kong Ning can perform the search technique at any time.

Now there are only three days left until the Mid-Autumn Festival on August 15th.

Although the county town is still calm and everything is as usual, Kong Ning has to take action.

Tonight, invite Wan'er to kill the evil spirits together, so as to further strengthen her cultivation base.

Then go investigate the situation of the county magistrate tomorrow to see if the magistrate is controlled by the demons.

If the magistrate of the county is really controlled by monsters, then maybe he can catch the tails of those monsters by following the clues before the Mid-Autumn Festival, kill a few monsters in advance, and weaken the opponent's strength.

After making up his mind, Kong Ning continued to play his role as a head catcher in the yamen, catching fish for a day with ease.

At dusk, Kong Ning declined the invitation of his colleagues to drink at Zuixian Tower, and returned to Huaishu Lane alone on his jujube horse.

The old locust tree, which has lost all its leaves, looks desolate and desolate. From a distance, it looks like a corpse about to fall, inexplicably miserable.

After Kong Ning walked into the alley, his parents were nowhere to be seen.

The parents who used to sit at the door to enjoy the cool air didn't know where they went.

After asking the neighbors, I found out that my mother had gone shopping in the West Market.

The worries in my heart dissipated.

Kong Ning returned to his deserted home, cooked his own dinner, and made do with it.

Then he lay down on the bed and fell asleep.

Tonight, if you want to slay evil spirits, you need to nourish your energy, eat and drink enough, and put your body in the best condition.

As for whether Su Yan will come back, it is no longer important at this time.

After tonight, even if the demon girl came back, Kong Ning would not be very afraid of her anymore.

As long as he crosses the threshold tonight, Kong Ning, whose strength has improved again, will be able to take the initiative in this chaotic situation in Shanlan County.

In the haze, Kong Ning had another dream.

But it doesn't seem like a dream.

Vaguely, he heard someone calling his name.

But that old and tired voice was his father who had always had a bad temper.

Ning'er, be careful...

That old book...

careful……

I can't hold it anymore...

The last hope...

The father's voice seemed to be very close, but at the same time seemed to be far away, indistinct. It kept calling for Kong Ning, anxious and nervous.

However, an invisible force blocked Kong Ning's communication with the outside world.

Father's voice kept ringing, but Kong Ning was so dazed that he couldn't hear what it was saying at all.

It was exactly the same as when Xu Miao relied on her dreams before.

It wasn't until the middle of the night that Kong Ning woke up suddenly, sitting on the cold wedding bed, watching the moonlight shining in from the window, Kong Ning realized that he had been sweating all over his body at some point.

For the past two nights, I have had nightmares one after another... What does this indicate?

Kong Ning's expression became serious.
