Chapter 509 The Mysterious House



Her letter was encrypted, and there were some parts of the information that I hadn't understood before. Now, through the Sky Eye, I've discovered the hidden content inside.

The hidden message in this letter tells me, firstly, to congratulate me on opening my third eye, but secondly, to be wary of the person who helped me open my third eye.

The most ingenious arrangement in the world is one where truth and falsehood coexist.

Upon seeing this, I couldn't help but look up and glance at Zhang Yongnian.

Fatty is absolutely right; the most sophisticated scam in the world is one that blends truth with falsehood.

The reason I couldn't see it was because most of what Zhang Yongning said was true, with only some personal opinions mixed in at crucial points.

"If I had to choose between the two, I would still choose Fatty!"

I thought to myself silently, while gripping the Thunderstrike Sword tightly.

Zhang Yongnian walked ahead, and I followed closely behind him. As for Lao Dao, I held his arm, worried that he wouldn't be able to see anything and might get lost.

I still don't understand what Zhang Yongnian's purpose was.

Zhang Yongnian didn't say anything along the way, just kept walking forward, and finally left the guesthouse and skillfully got into a large pickup truck.

"Get in the car, I'll take you where you need to go. Help me finish this matter, and I'll help you with yours!"

Zhang Yongnian opened the car door, helped Lao Dao and me into the car, and then sat in the driver's seat.

The pickup truck was old and looked like it had been recycled from a sunflower seed factory; it was riddled with holes.

I've now developed the habit of looking at everything with my divine eye.

To my surprise, Zhang Yongnian's life force had been steadily recovering ever since the formation was completed.

The areas that were previously damaged by the puppets have been largely repaired.

If it weren't for my clairvoyance, I would never have been able to discover these things.

"Brother Chen, I have a feeling this old guy is a bit suspicious too, be careful!"

Lao Dao and I sat side by side in the back seat. While waiting for Zhang Yongnian to drive, Lao Dao leaned close to me and whispered something.

I looked at Lao Dao with slight surprise.

I really didn't expect that even though Lao Dao was blind, he could still perceive these things.

"I have a feeling the young lady was eaten by them!"

I grabbed Lao Dao's ear and spoke in a very low voice.

At the same time, I also observed Zhang Yongnian.

Just as I thought, Zhang Yongnian's ears didn't move; he probably didn't hear it.

"I can't see her, but there were only a few of us in the room, and my sister just disappeared. This whole thing is very suspicious!"

Old Dao leaned close to my ear and spoke cautiously.

Unfortunately, I didn't see what happened because my eyes were closed, while Lao Dao went blind at that time.

Zhang Yongnian floored the accelerator, driving the pickup truck like a Wuling Hongguang.

Old Dao is blind, but he kept yelling wildly, scaring people so much they almost peed themselves.

If I hadn't been there, Lao Dao would probably have already started to let loose.

"Hey senior, where are we headed?"

As the car continued to move forward, Lao Dao finally couldn't hold back any longer.

"It's nothing, I've taken on a religious ceremony and need your help!"

This time, Zhang Yongnian finally gave a direct response to me and Lao Dao.

I felt a little unreal: "It's that simple?"

"That's right, it's that simple! Exorcising ghosts is something that we Xuanmen people are supposed to do."

Now that you have received God's approval, this is naturally one of your responsibilities!

Although I don't like being bound by these rules and regulations, what Zhang Yongnian said really resonated with me.

Fatty Sister said something similar: those who are recognized by God can never go back to being ordinary people.

"Okay, no problem! Senior, after we finish this, will you be able to solve my problem?"

Without hesitation, I agreed immediately, and at the same time, I made a request to Zhang Yongnian.

The mysteries surrounding Shenwu County remain unsolved, and to find the answers, we must focus on Zhang Yongnian.

Besides these mysteries, I also need to rely on He Feilong's power to deal with him.

"Help me do all this, and I'll naturally agree to your request!"

Zhang Yongnian agreed so readily; the speed of his response felt unreal.

Zhang Yongnian quickly stepped on the brakes, and the pickup truck stopped in front of a mansion.

I never imagined that there would be such a wealthy family in such a poor little county town.

The gate was decorated very ornately, just like the grand mansions of the Republic of China era depicted on television.

When we came down, the door was opened and a nanny was there to greet us.

Just as we were about to leave, Zhang Yongnian handed Lao Dao a Taoist robe, a peach wood sword, and a pair of sunglasses.

"Old Dao, dress up like this first before going in, don't scare the owner!"

After tossing the items to Lao Dao, Zhang Yongnian rummaged through the car and finally found a Bagua mirror.

It's a bit like the compasses in TV dramas, made of brass, with yin-yang and eight trigrams on it, it looks quite authentic.

However, while laymen may see the spectacle, experts can discern the true nature of this compass – it is a complete fake.

On the contrary, the peach wood sword and the Taoist robe were genuine.

"Hey, what are you doing with this thing, senior?"

I couldn't help but lean close to Zhang Yongnian's ear and whisper a question.

Based on our experience working side by side, Zhang Yongnian is undoubtedly an extremely reliable and highly professional individual.

Logically speaking, I shouldn't have made such a basic mistake. Why did you give me a broken compass?

Do you really think he's ordinary?

Zhang Yongnian gave me a strange smile that gave me the creeps.

I quickly grabbed the compass and touched it. The next second, the unique sensation made my hair stand on end.

"I've told you so many times, pay attention!"

Zhang Yongnian scolded.

At that moment, I was reminded of my grandfather. When I was little, he would say similar things when he taught me how to burn corpses.

"Senior, I have a question. Do you know Chen Bazhong?"

I tried to compose myself before asking the question.

The tone of Zhang Yongnian's voice and his attitude towards me just now were exactly the same as how my grandfather treated me when I was a child.

"We know each other, and we're quite close!"

Otherwise, what reason do you have for me to help you?

Zhang Yongnian countered with a question.

I was speechless after hearing that.

That's right, I really can't think of any reason why a powerful Xuanmen member like Zhang Yongnian would directly help me.

Is it really just because he was invited by the master craftsman? It can't be that simple.

"Don't ask what you shouldn't ask. When the time comes for you to know, you will naturally find out!"

Put your palm on the compass and feel it!

Zhang Yongnian continued speaking to me in that tone, and I felt a little nostalgic listening to it.
