Chapter 411: A Haunted House That Is Not A Haunted House
After taking Wu Qiao'er around three meaningless locations, Zhang Yun made sure that she hadn't done anything that might have passed on the message, and only then did she dig up what she had quietly buried when she went out in the morning not far to the east of the martial arts house.

Zhang Yun planned to leave Longgou Village immediately, but Wu Qiao'er decided to follow unsurprisingly, as the two had mentioned before. It's just that maybe Wu Qiao'er is sincere, but Zhang Yun has to struggle with calculations in his heart.
There was still time before dawn, so when Zhang Yun and Wu Qiao'er successfully bypassed the sight of the two Wei family members and returned to the Wu family to get some salutes and supplements, and then sneaked out of the village, it was still pitch black.
Wu Qiao'er had already admired Zhang Yun's ability to walk in the dark, but because Zhang Yun said that Wu Qiao'er would not be allowed to speak first without worrying about her life until he said that she could, she could only cast her own admiring gaze.
"Let's go to the haunted house. Zhang Yun's words were only five words, but they almost made Wu Qiao'er scream in fright.
It was enough to be tied up once before, but I really had to go again when it was pitch black. This is really Wu Qiaoer's little heart that has only been exercised a lot stronger, and he is familiar with the haunted house story of Longgou Village, and his previous fear was completely covered by the fright and the desire to save Zhang Yun, and it was still in broad daylight.
But at this time......
Wu Qiao'er looked around, it was pitch black, and he was basically in a state where he couldn't see his five fingers. If it weren't for Zhang Yun pulling him along the way, Wu Qiao'er could be sure that he couldn't find any direction at all, and as long as he dared to take a step, he would definitely get lost.
"You can talk. Zhang Yun added again, he could probably guess Wu Qiao'er's psychological activities, after all, it was a haunted house in Longgou Village.
"Why do you want to go there?" Sure enough, when Wu Qiao'er got Zhang Yun's permission, the first thing she said was to ask a question.
Zhang Yun smiled: "Because ordinary people won't go again, and I'm not an ordinary person, and you won't be anymore." ā
Wu Qiao'er heard the firmness in Zhang Yun's words, and her body shook slightly, but she didn't say anything more. She decided to follow Zhang Yun, so she had to keep up at all times, and once she fell behind, she would have no chance to change Zhang Yun's impression of herself.
The haunted house is there, and no one has actually entered it for hundreds of years. Speaking of which, if it weren't for what Zhang Yun saw during the day, he wouldn't want to return to this gloomy place. Even if there were no ghosts and gods, this atmosphere alone was enough to make him feel a lot of extra vigilance, which would consume too much mental and physical strength.
Wu Qiaoer didn't expect that Zhang Yun's so-called return to the haunted house was not just to return to the haunted house in the forest, but to really enter the inside of the haunted house. Since she was a child, she heard the big haunted house stories that popped up one by one as if they had been discussed, and they were played clearly over and over again in Wu Qiaoer's mind, which made her courage shrink rapidly, so small that it was probably only the size of her fingertips.
Wu Qiao'er was not worried about whether she would be caught up by the Wei family, she only hoped that she would not encounter the ghosts mentioned in those stories.
Zhang Yun can't manage so much, first, he really wants to avoid the Wei family, to be precise, it is the subordinate of the scholar Huaimu. The second is that he cares a lot about the Dragon Whisker Spring mentioned by Wu Qiao'er, and it seems that some relevant clues can be found in that haunted house.
"It's probably not a haunted house, it's just that the people who built it back then didn't want to be discovered by others if there was no one to guard it after he died, so they left a legend about ghosts, and he just wanted to avoid the discovery of what he was guarding. ā
Zhang Yun said and pushed open the courtyard door where the haunted house was located.
The wooden door that had been sealed in the dust for at least a hundred years fell down, and the rotten door panel fell apart on the ground, which scared Wu Qiao'er a lot, and the whole person shrank behind Zhang Yun.
It was still dark, and Zhang Yun didn't dare to light the fire, so he walked slowly in the direction he saw during the day. He didn't want to step on anything anymore and go straight into the dungeon, God knows if those guys trapped in it have become ghosts waiting for him.
"Hey, impossible. Zhang Yun suddenly shook his head and smiled bitterly, "There are ghost dragons, they can always come, thousands of ghost dragons are afraid that they will have to carry the legends of ghosts and monsters eating people within a few sides of this radius to be able to afford to feed." If the ghost dragon can come out, so can people. ā
"Is there a ghost here, is there a ghost?" This was Wu Qiao'er's rapid scream, although she desperately suppressed the volume, it still made Zhang Yun feel quite harsh.
"The ghost dragon is not a ghost, it is a living creature, but it is too ugly to be called a ghost dragon. There won't be any ghosts here, but something else might be a little bit. Zhang Yun distracted Wu Qiao'er's attention and suddenly stopped.
Wu Qiao'er was already scared, and it was easy for Zhang Yun to divert her thoughts a little, and suddenly she became nervous again when she heard the second half of Zhang Yun's words.
"Something else?"
"It's not a demon anyway, yes, you see. Zhang Yun pointed in front of him, and then smiled, "I forgot you can't see it, there is a trap in the first three steps, you listen." ā
Zhang Yun threw a stone casually, then took a step back and grabbed Wu Qiaoer's waist, took four steps to the left and one step back to the right, and then hugged Wu Qiao'er and squatted hard.
There was a swishing sound, and Wu Qiao'er even felt her hair being picked up by the wind.
"I really read that during the day, it's a good place and I should have some useful information anyway. You don't move here, don't squat and don't move. Zhang Yun directly let go of his hand and walked forward, ignoring Wu Qiao'er's frightened cry behind him.
This must be a place related to the dungeon, the Dragon Whisker Spring, the haunted house, the connection to the underground river, the trap, what will be in the house?
Zhang Yun deliberately let go of Wu Qiao'er, and went all the way into the house alone according to the method of three fictions and seven realities.
The torch suddenly lit up, Zhang Yun snorted coldly, looked at the room with only one table and said with a smile: "It's really the style of the underground palace, is there information or treasure in the box?" ā
Zhang Yuncai opened the box and flipped through the stack of books inside, and suddenly heard Wu Qiao'er exclamation outside. He raised his eyebrows, took a torch and rushed out of the house, and sure enough, he saw Wu Qiao'er squatting on the ground with a terrifying face and exclaiming in a low voice.
"Why do you want to move?" Zhang Yun walked to Wu Qiao'er's side, maintaining a chance to make a move at any time, and he carried the sharp enough firewood knife on his waist.
"There's something moving, there's something, ah! it's coming again!" Wu Qiao'er screamed uncontrollably, and directly pounced on Zhang Yun.
Zhang Yun's left hand instantly regained grip on the handle of the knife, and then let go again.
"It turned out to be a cat. Relax, there are no ghosts here, it's a unique place, but it's definitely not a haunted house. But it's going to be a lot of excitement here, so you'll have to keep up with me for a while. Zhang Yun patted Wu Qiao'er on the back, then pushed away her hand holding her, and pulled Wu Qiao'er into the room.
