I’m Being Held Captive by Demons

Chapter 375: There Is Great Terror Between Life and Death

"It's not a cold, nor is it sick. The pulse and breath are all as usual."

"Although a little weak..."

"Maybe it's hysteria? Why don't you go to the temple and ask for a peace talisman..."

A strange and old voice rang in my ears.

Kong Ning felt that his five senses were gradually returning.

He opened his eyes suddenly and sat up.

But he found that he was no longer in the broken house before, and what was in front of him was not a bonfire.

Now he is lying in a warm blanket, the room in front of him looks like an inn?

And there was an old man with a goatee in front of the bed, looking at him in astonishment.

Caiwei stood aside, her face full of surprise.

"Master! You're awake!" Caiwei said excitedly.

The old man with the goatee smiled and touched his beard, and said, "Look, I said that I am not sick. I have practiced medicine for many years, and I have never misdiagnosed it."

Caiwei smiled and happily sent the old man out of the door.

Only then did he come to Kong Ning.

While the old man was going out, a wood carving on the bedside spoke.

There was the sound of the columbarium.

"I'll just say that the house is haunted, right? Your kid fell into a coma not long after he entered, and he couldn't wake up no matter how much he screamed."

"I guess you must be possessed by an evil spirit..."

The columbarium said: "Boy, do you still recognize your grandpa?"

"Although I only have ashes left, I am your own grandfather whose blood is thicker than water!"

The columbarium took advantage of the opportunity.

Kong Ning glared at it, and said: "What nonsense, I smashed your jar, and all the ashes were thrown away!"

Only then did the columbarium sigh, and said: "It seems that it is not possessed by an evil spirit... It's a pity, a pity."

"But since your kid is not possessed by evil spirits, why have you been in a coma for so long?"

"You've been in a coma for three days, and you can't wake up. I thought you wouldn't survive."

The urn was very curious.

Kong Ning sat up, rubbed his swollen temples, and said, "I'm also surprised... I seem to have a dream, a very important dream."

"But I don't remember anything about what happened in the dream."

Raising his hands to look, Kong Ning said: "And my injury has healed?"

At this moment of emptiness, there was no longer the feeling of weakness and powerlessness before coma.

Although the breath in his body was solidified, he was still a mortal, but his upper body was considered to be strong and healthy, with vigorous blood.

After three days of lethargy, I woke up, except for the hunger in my stomach, I didn't feel any discomfort.

On the contrary, it is full of energy and boundless energy.

Kong Ning asked: "Caiwei, where did you find the doctor?"

The girl shook her head and said, "Master, I did invite several doctors to treat you. But each of those doctors said that you are in good health, your pulse is normal, and you have no symptoms at all, so..."

"I'm for my own good?" Kong Ning was slightly taken aback.

He looked at the wood carving beside him.

At this time, the wood carving has transformed into a mighty eagle with its wings outstretched—although it is still made of wood.

Kong Ning asked: "Brother Gu, what do you think?"

The tone of the columbarium was calm: "I'll lie down and watch..."

Kong Ning sighed, knowing that there was no hope for the columbarium.

"It seems that the danger in the capital is even weirder and inexplicable than what we know."

I thought the biggest danger in the city was the strange things underground and the city full of demons.

But after entering the city, I found that the strange things hadn't recovered, and the monsters hadn't shown their fangs, and they encountered strange things one after another.

A strange curse, a strange recovery, and the current situation of being cut off...

Caiwei looked at the contemplative Kong Ning, and said, "Master, during the three days you were sleeping, something happened in the capital."

"The seventeenth son of the current emperor suddenly died of a serious illness not long ago."

"And according to the people in the city, this is already the fifteenth prince who died in the royal family."

"Since the current emperor has become the emperor, the prince has died almost every year..."

"The day the Seventeenth Prince died was exactly the day we entered the city."

The information Caiwei provided made Kong Ning frown.

"It seems that there is some kind of evil in the palace."

"Brother Gu, I remember you said that the emperor of the Great Zhou is a fairy body?" Kong Ning asked.

The columbarium said: "There is indeed such a saying... According to old legends, the emperors of the Zhou Kingdom had extraordinary power in their blood. The emperors of all dynasties were all immortal bodies."

"When the time comes, a real immortal will come back to life with his body and come back to the world."

"But I'm inclined to bullshit."

The tone of the columbarium was indifferent: "I have personally experienced [death], and I know what kind of terrifying despair it is."

"No one can come back from the dead, that's for sure."

"The abyss of the dead country will drag all the dead creatures into darkness."

"Want to come back from the dead and defeat death? That is equivalent to fighting against the engulfment of the entire abyss of the dead country with one's own power!"

"Even if King Yu is alive, he doesn't have that kind of divine power."

"The so-called rebirth of a true immortal is likely to be a rumor that spreads rumors that become more and more exaggerated."

"However, there is indeed something strange about the bloodline of Zhou's royal family."

"My friend mentioned it to me back then."

The friend mentioned by the columbarium was the woman who gave him the Book of Nine Deaths.

Kong Ning was very curious about this woman.

But every time when asked, the columbarium is silent and silent.

Kong Ning did not take the opportunity to inquire about the woman, but took the initiative to change the subject.

"Since death cannot be reversed, brother bone, your current state... is it considered dead? Or not dead?"

Kong Ning was also curious about this.

The columbarium was slightly silent, but this time he didn't care about him, but slowly confessed.

"I'm just out of breath..."

"Between life and death, there is great terror..."

"It was she who saved me at the last moment, and helped me breathe a sigh of relief, so that I was between life and death, and I was not completely dead."

"The Book of Nine Deaths has its unique features."

Having said that, the columbarium paused.

Afterwards, it changed back to its original form, saying solemnly.

"Two days ago, during the funeral of the seventeenth prince in the palace, I felt a familiar atmosphere."

"In this palace, there are my friend's relics, and I want to get them."

The columbarium's sentence is concise and straight to the point: "I want you to help me. After it is done, I will tell you the secret of the book of nine deaths."

Seeing this, Kong Ning smiled, and said, "Brother Gu is out of touch."

"Since your friend's relic is in the palace, let's find a way to get it back. There is no need to ask for any reward."

"Anyway, the strangeness in the capital is definitely one of the sources of the evil spirits in the palace."

"We are in the city, and if we want to use it, we can't avoid the left and right sides of the palace..."

"And if you really want to talk about remuneration, I haven't reciprocated the favor that Brother Gu passed on to me for the Thirty-Six Changes of Tiangang."

"It's only right to do you a favor now."
