Cheng Yu hid in a hidden corner with a look of shame on his face and almost made a mistake.
After the woman closed the window, Cheng Yu quietly left the courtyard.
The backyard is so big, it is not easy to find the house where the king lives.
"It seems that we need to find a servant to ask." Cheng Yu then searched several places, but could not find any trace of the foreign king.
This backyard is not just one courtyard, it is layered upon layer, and the layout is very complex.
Even after entering the courtyard, Cheng Yu was careful to avoid the patrolling guards.
However, Cheng Yu would not go to the guards to inquire about the situation, otherwise it would be like poking a hornet's nest.
Cheng Yu was careful and hiding in the backyard, and finally saw a maid walking in the yard carrying fruit.
Seeing this opportunity, Cheng Yu looked around and found that there was indeed no one else. He immediately captured the maid into the Fairy and Demon Tower, but she was not placed on the same floor as the others.
"Tell me, which courtyard does the king live in?" A shadow of Cheng Yu appeared in front of the woman.
"You...you...who are you?" The woman looked at the man in front of her, and she was suddenly frightened and frightened, and she couldn't even care about the strange environment around her.
"I'm asking you now, not you asking me." Cheng Yu said coldly.
"I...I...I don't know." The woman was obviously frightened by Cheng Yu.
Coupled with the dim environment she saw around her at this time, she was even more frightened.
People are always afraid of the unknown, not to mention that she is just an ordinary woman, and she is more afraid of this kind of thing than a monk.
"Do you know where this place is?" Cheng Yu looked at him.
"No... I don't know." The woman covered her face and sobbed, her whole body trembling.
"Then let me tell you, if you don't answer my questions honestly, this will be your burial place." Cheng Yu would not let her go just because she was a weak woman.
"Please, don't kill me. I'm just a maid and don't know anything." the maid said.
"Although you are a maid, it is impossible that you don't know where the king lives. As long as you answer my question, I guarantee that you will live a long life." Cheng Yu said.
"Are you really not going to kill me?" the maid said fearfully.
"You should know that I'm just here to see your king, not you. As long as you tell me where the king is, I naturally don't need to take your life." Cheng Yu said.
"Then...then I tell you, you must not kill me." The maid said tremblingly.
"Say it!"
"The foreign king is in the small courtyard in the middle." the maid said.
"Are you sure you didn't lie to me?" Cheng Yu stared into the other person's eyes.
"No, no, I would never dare to deceive you!" the maid said fearfully.
Although it is difficult to tell from the maid's expression whether her words are true or false, the eyes are the windows to the soul. Although the eyes looking at her are a little evasive, they are definitely not the kind of guilt that worries about being exposed because of lying, but It's pure fear.
What's more, Cheng Yu has interrogated so many people, and in this Immortal Demon Tower, even those who are in the tribulation stage who are countless times stronger than her can't escape, let alone those who can't do anything. An ordinary maid.
So Cheng Yu believed that she was telling the truth.
"You stay here for now. When I finish the matter, I will let you out and give you your freedom!" After Cheng Yu finished speaking, he disappeared in an instant.
The maid looked at the dim space where she was the only one left, and the runes of different colors were flashing. She was filled with fear. She huddled up and buried her head between her knees, trembling.
Outside the Fairy and Demon Tower!
Cheng Yu looked around and roughly determined the center of the backyard, so he cautiously and sneakily passed by again.
"Now that you can see the situation outside, tell me, is that the residence of the outer king?" Cheng Yu's voice suddenly sounded in the dim space.
The maid was startled. When she raised her head, she actually saw what was happening outside.
"Yes! The foreign king lives in that small courtyard." The maid nodded.
"Are you really here?" This small courtyard didn't seem to be more beautiful than the ladies' courtyard, which made Cheng Yu feel a little confused.
"Yes!"
Seeing that the maid was so sure, Cheng Yu somewhat admired the foreign king's scheming.
In his eyes, this small courtyard was very ordinary, even a little shabby.
If the maid hadn't said that this was the residence of the foreign king, he would never have thought that the foreign king who controlled such a huge foreign dynasty would live in such a small courtyard.
However, it is precisely because this small courtyard looks so ordinary, and it is not the deepest part of the backyard, but is in a very conspicuous central location, which will create an illusion for intruders.
As the saying goes, the more dangerous a place is, the safer it is.
"You can't go there again, or you will die!" Just when Cheng Yu was about to approach the small courtyard, the maid suddenly reminded him.
Although she was just an ordinary person, the maid seemed to understand that she was trapped by Cheng Yu. If Cheng Yu died, maybe she wouldn't survive either.
So she struggled again and again and decided to stop Cheng Yu from getting closer.
"Why?" Cheng Yu stopped.
"Every time the Outer King goes into seclusion, he will seal this place. Anyone approaching this place will be in danger of death. Several servants and maids once accidentally approached this place while the Outer King was in seclusion, and were directly struck to death by a thunderbolt. .
The madam gave us instructions two months ago. No one is allowed to come near this place without their instructions. Therefore, the Outer King should be in retreat at this time. If you approach here at this time, you will definitely be struck by lightning. "The maid explained.
"Is there such a thing?" Cheng Yu suddenly became curious.
This maid is just an ordinary woman. If it wasn't true, she would never say that.
But according to the maid, there should be a formation in this place when the outer king was in retreat, so there were situations where someone was struck to death by lightning.
But what surprised him was that he didn't find any formations arranged artificially here.
Now he can be considered a formation master, although he cannot be called a formation master. But as the saying goes, if you read 300 Tang poems by heart, you can recite them even if you don't know how to compose them.
Cheng Yu has studied so many terrifying formations in the Immortal and Demon Tower, and the formations of the old man in Tianzhen are all the essence of the formations. Today, Cheng Yu is no longer the layman he once was.
In addition, after Cheng Yu cracked those formations, he re-arranged and modified the formations outside the Immortal Demon Tower. Now Cheng Yu's formation attainments can be said to have achieved some success in formations.
Just like the Cheng family's grand formation, although it took Cheng Yu nearly a year to set it up, the power of the formation was absolutely earth-shattering.
There are probably not many people in this world who can arrange such a formation!
This is also true. Generally speaking, if a formation is arranged here, Cheng Yu can basically see it.
But now he has found no traces of anyone's artificial formation here, which means that this formation is either too superb or there is no formation at all.
Of course, there is another possibility, that is, there is a natural formation here, so Cheng Yu cannot see any traces.
However, Cheng Yu still believed that what the maid said was true.
Therefore, Cheng Yu had to be careful. Even if he did not see the existence of the formation in this place, he would never dare to act rashly until he understood the situation in this place.
If there really is any hidden formation here, his movement will attract thunder from the sky.
Even if the thunder didn't hurt him that day, it would definitely have alerted the entire Outer Prince's Palace and even the Bai Yang Outer Court.
Therefore, this should not be done carelessly!
There was really no problem found, so Cheng Yu had to check other places in this range.
However, this circle is not small. There are several side courtyards in it, and there are many guards patrolling back and forth.
Cheng Yu carefully checked around the area. When he returned to the starting point, it was already dark.
"This is really weird. He went through such a big circle with so much effort and didn't even see any problems." Cheng Yu muttered in his heart.
"You really didn't lie to me. There is a thunder here?" Cheng Yu asked the maid in the Fairy and Demon Tower.
"Sir, how dare I lie to you? When the Outer King is in seclusion, thunder will really appear if you get close to it!" the maid said with certainty.
"Did you see it with your own eyes?" Cheng Yu asked.
"This...I haven't seen it with my own eyes, but I heard everyone saying so!" the maid paused and said.
Cheng Yu didn't ask any more questions.
Although sometimes, even if you see it with your own eyes, it may not be true. But if you haven’t seen it with your own eyes, it doesn’t necessarily mean it’s fake.
Again, Cheng Yu didn't want to make too much noise here to attract other people's attention.
It would definitely be best if we could enter here quietly.
"Huh?" Just when Cheng Yu circled around this area again, the situation emerged in his mind, Cheng Yu suddenly seemed to think of something.
"Could it be said that the formations produced in this area are not directly arranged with spiritual stones, but these buildings are used?" Cheng Yu once again recalled the buildings in the surrounding small courtyard and side courtyard in his mind. suddenly thought.
This is just like in nature, several natural mountains can also form a huge natural formation, such as the natural spirit gathering formation.
In such a place, the spiritual energy is usually particularly strong.
In the same way, although these buildings are not natural, they are man-made and constructed according to the corresponding formation layout. Just like Cheng Yu's thirty-six peaks, he used to use the formation of thirty peaks to bury a spiritual vein under each peak to ensure that the Cheng family's formation would never stop!
