I’m Being Held Captive by Demons

Chapter 129 The Horror World

Li Shun'er's nervous reaction made Kong Ning understand slightly.

Looking at the weird statue on the shrine again, he understood.

What is the identity of the City God of Hejian Mansion? Even these mortals know it.

It's just that no one dares to speak nonsense.

It seems that the City God of Hejian Mansion occupied the position of City God here and forcibly seized the incense for sacrificial offerings, which must have demonstrated some means.

Otherwise, Li Shun'er wouldn't be so scared.

After understanding this point, he looked at the weird shrine in front of him and the hideous and ugly statue on the shrine, Kong Ning exhaled slowly and said.

"Understood, let's go to the next room."

After walking out of this side room dedicated to the City God, Kong Ning strolled around the courtyard again, and finally decided to stay here.

He came to Hejian Mansion to punish demons, not to enjoy himself. Although this place is not considered secluded, and the neighbors are mixed with good and bad people, it barely meets the requirements of Kong Ning.

The most important thing is that Li Shun'er, who has suffered from the illusion, found the best yard for Kong Ning under the current conditions.

Other places are estimated to be worse.

And the front and back courtyards are not expensive.

The total price is twenty taels of silver.

Cheaper than Kong Ning expected.

But after thinking about it, I can understand it.

In a chaotic and sinister world where people die every day, it's no wonder that housing prices in this kind of place can go up.

Following Li Shun'er to pay the money, went to the yamen to register and got the land deed, Kong Ning returned to Tongming Lane with the key and Caiwei.

Kong Ning was a little surprised that there was a city god in Hejian Mansion, and he was a monster.

But also within reason.

With the righteous way and the god way dead, these demons and ghosts can naturally be unscrupulous and wreak havoc on the world.

When passing by the Town God's Temple not far from Tongming Lane, Kong Ning stopped to look at it for a while. The temple was full of incense and crowded with people.

But these city residents who offer incense are not sincere worshipers.

They all came and left in a hurry, and they all looked sad and cautious in the temple, as if they were afraid that their behavior would offend the gods in the temple.

This reminded Kong Ning of Li Shun'er's advice.

Every morning and evening, three sticks of incense have to be offered to the City God at home. Every ten days, you have to go to the Temple of the City God to put a big incense stick, otherwise disasters will happen.

Although Li Shun'er didn't say what specific disasters would happen, but with that tense and fearful expression, someone must have disobeyed it before and suffered a lot of bad luck.

Kong Ning outside the City God Temple has excellent eyesight, and can even see the scene in the main hall of the City God from a distance.

Enshrined in the center of the main hall is an ugly statue with a ferocious complexion, an obese body, and strange acne all over its body.

The civil and military judges enshrined on both sides of the statue are also ugly monsters with deer heads and mouse eyes.

The Great City God, a majestic place, was actually occupied by demons. The evil spirits put on the robes of the gods majestically, sat on the top of the hall, and accepted the sacrifices of the villagers as a matter of course...

This scene really felt like the horror of the Dharma-ending era.

And the most terrifying thing is that Kong Ning lives in such a world...

I didn't stay outside the Chenghuang Temple for a long time, I was worried that I would stop and watch for a long time and attract the attention of those demons in the temple. Today's Kong Ning, the heterogeneous monster power in his body has not yet been refined, and his power is weak, so he doesn't want to be too ostentatious.

Now he is in the same situation as those demons and ghosts in the fairy tales I read before. Wherever you go, you have to hide from "righteous people", otherwise if you are caught, you will be attacked by groups, "killing demons and subduing demons".

Kong Ning took Caiwei back to Tongming Lane, purchased some necessary daily necessities, and cleaned the house and courtyard, and the sun began to set.

At this moment, the gate of the courtyard was knocked, and the security chief of Tongming Lane came to register Kong Ning's information.

But Zhang Rong had already said hello, and the Bao Zhang's attitude towards Kong Ning was not bad.

But still nagging and warning about many things.

"After dark, don't go wandering outside if you have nothing to do. If you die, no one cares, and ask your relatives to pay for the corpse."

"What? No relatives? Then your yard will probably be confiscated by then."

"Did you see the Lord Chenghuang in the side room? Every morning and evening, three sticks of incense sticks, and once every ten days, he went to the Temple of the City God to worship. Don't think about being lazy, when the catastrophe strikes, you won't be able to eat and walk around."

"And the people living in this alley are all foreigners. Although they are all registered in the yamen. But you are a man with a child going out. You are alone and alone. You'd better not provoke them. If something happens, no one will help you. Collect the corpse."

"Brother Zhang said that you came to Hejian Mansion to make a living, and I don't care what you do now. But within ten days, you have to issue me a work certificate, otherwise you won't be able to live in this yard if you buy it. "

"I'm not threatening you, but a kind reminder. You must take it seriously."

"The yamen is very strict. Brother Zhang can help you with convenience, but he can't help you all the time. Don't think that you can mess around just because someone can clear it up."

"Also, on the last day of every month, the Holy Maiden of the Black Lotus will give lectures in the west of the city, give out talisman water, and distribute peace talismans. You can go and see it when you have time. It's not bad for you..."

Baochang Dingmu is a middle-aged man in his thirties with an unshaven beard. He looks a little scruffy, but he is an old neighbor who has lived in Tongming Lane for three generations.

He gave a long-winded warning, said all the rules and regulations, and then left.

Kong Ning personally escorted the other party out of the gate, when the gate was closed, he saw someone peeping from the back of several adjacent courtyards.

The eyes are a little bad.

Kong Ning paused slightly when he closed the door.

Thinking about how to destroy the corpse if someone was killed tonight.

As a newcomer, Kong Ning doesn't want to cause trouble yet.

Whether it's monsters or mortals, he doesn't really want to provoke them.

But if someone insists on looking for death, there is no way...

Hejian Mansion is too big, full of fish and dragons, there are not only many ordinary people, but also many monsters, which is different from the remote and small place in Shanlan County.

At least the group of monsters in the Town God's Temple are definitely not from Fuyue Cave.

And this is the second day after coming to Hejian Mansion, and the one they ran into on the surface was a nest of demons from the Town God's Temple. Who knows how many monsters are hiding in the dark?

Kong Ning plans to rely on the searching ability of the Spirit Swallowing Demon Jar to slowly find out the composition and details of the monsters in the city, and then wait for the opportunity to do it.

It is best to wait until Wan'er comes out of the mountain, and the two join forces, and then start killing.

In a short time, Kong Ning was not in a hurry to kill the monster.

His priority must be how to live safely without exposing himself. It is best to be able to hide in the dark and kill monsters all the time.

Be a ghost in the dark.

But the Shrine of the City God in the side room...

"Master, Caiwei will remember to go to the three-pillar incense every morning and evening," the little girl took the initiative to embrace this boring matter.

She knew that Kong Ning hated demons, so Kong Ning would definitely not want to do this kind of thing like offering incense to demon priests.

But Kong Ning glanced at her, but shook his head: "Leave this matter to me, you are not allowed to offer incense to this city god in the future."
