I’m Being Held Captive by Demons Chapter 76: Su Yan’s disappearance
The moonlight is cold.
As the Mid-Autumn Festival approaches, the moon is getting warmer.
But still not full.
When you look up, you can see the moon among the stars, which is the first quarter moon.
Kong Ning, sitting alone in the yard, waited a full night.
Until the sky brightens, the sun rises from the mountains, and the dawn pierces the night, Su Yan has not returned.
This is a little bit wrong.
Even if the demon girl found out that it was getting late after checking the county magistrate, she went straight to the trouble of the monsters, and she wouldn't 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 level, even if she encounters an ambush and is really plotted to death, it's impossible not 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 wasn't for the demon egg in her stomach, she could still perceive that there were clothes left by the other party in the marriage room. Kong Ning almost thought that she 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.
The seventh day of the eighth lunar month, the day after Su Yan left.
Kong Ning didn't have dinner last night, and now he doesn't have breakfast either. He led the jujube yellow horse out of Huaishu Lane and headed towards the yamen.
The strength of that monster is far above him, and he has a **** feud with him.
If he really died outside, it would be a good thing for Kong Ning.
Kong Ning suspects that Su Yan has found something and has no time to go home for the time being.
Maybe the county magistrate really had a problem, so Su Yan found the flaws in the monsters in the city, so she followed the clues to investigate.
Considering all kinds of possibilities, Kong Ning rode a jujube yellow horse to the county office and went to work in Dianmao.
The situation is unknown, he did not act rashly, and still maintained his usual routine.
After clicking Mao, I found a quiet corner to read a book.
However, my mind was inexplicably restless.
It seems that something sinister has happened somewhere.
Couldn't Wan'er be 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, the safety of Wan'er can make Kong Ning worry about it.
As for the scorpion spirit, Kong Ning would probably set off firecrackers to celebrate when he died.
It's impossible to worry about her.
After two hours in the yamen, it was like sitting on pins and needles. As noon approached, Kong Ning rode a jujube yellow horse to patrol the streets.
He didn't approach Tian's abandoned house rashly, but 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 had concluded some kind of secret spell before. They didn't need to meet each other, as long as they got close to a certain distance, they could sense each other's breath.
In this way, Wan'er doesn't need to go into Huaishu Lane, 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 dangers when they stay together every day, and 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.
He rode his jujube horse as usual, and wandered around the city for a while as usual, before Kong Ning returned to the yamen for lunch.
Then when entering the county office, I saw the county magistrate and his brother-in-law enter the gate of the county office in a sedan chair.
When Kong Ning dismounted, the county magistrate greeted Kong Ning with a smile, showing his reliance on Kong Ning.
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 is absolutely no sign that Su Yan cast spells to intimidate the two.
...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 who was empty, 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 are still talking about how to make money during the Mid-Autumn Festival. The county magistrate's brother-in-law is 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 left the county government office on a jujube yellow horse.
He walked towards Hua Shu Alley by himself.
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 from 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. Father leaned there with an indifferent expression, ignoring Kong Ning at all~IndoMTL.com~ On the other hand, mother smiled and chatted with Kong Ning, saying that there was no problem, Dispelled the doubts in Kong Ning's heart.
Only then did Kong Ning lead the jujube yellow horse into the courtyard.
In the yard, it is still quiet and deadly.
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 quiet and silent, and Su Yan was nowhere to be seen.
Even everything in the yard and the house was the same as when Kong Ning went out in the morning.
During the whole day he was in the county government 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, he would sit alone in the deserted yard. No one spoke or communicated with each other. Even cooking only had to cook for one person.
But at that time, he could go to Chunfenglou and the others to listen to music 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 danger did you encounter?
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 from it.
Tianmen, sky refining, primordial spirit, loathing, purple mansion...
Among the five major cultivation realms, the sky-refining realm is just a new entry.
It wouldn't 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, so there shouldn't be any top demons passing by, right?
