It doesn't take much thinking to know that these magic formations are either in inaccessible places, or in heavily surrounded and tightly guarded places.

Neither one is easy to find and destroy.

Pei Mengqing also thought about finding the position of the formation through reverse thinking, but soon found that it didn't work.

Because this is not a modern developed society, there are people everywhere and there is surveillance. You can find sparsely populated and tightly guarded places through the elimination method.

Although the Zhou Dynasty had many unexpected and wonderful technological developments, the overall society was still a feudal society with backward productivity.

There are sparsely populated or even uninhabited places, deep mountains and old forests, and it is impossible to investigate them one by one.

So you still have to rely on information.

Chief Catcher Wang Yuanbai provided five possible locations, but they have not been verified and need to be verified by Pei Mengqing and others.

"One is on Yuanshan Road and the other is on Fengzhang Road. These two are the most likely. Ju Ju, please go back and forth between these two. Just make sure whether there is a formation."

Pei Mengqing analyzed the positions of the five formations based on the letter from Chief Wang Yuanbai.

"There are three more. One is said to be at the home of Mr. Jia, the richest businessman in the city, and the other two are near the city walls in the north and south of the city. Xiaori, I would like to trouble you to help look around in the north and south of the city. Miss Xiaoyu and I will find a way to get there.

Let’s take a look at Mr. Jia’s house.”

This allocation is based on strength. The two orange cats, Orange Ju and Xiaori, are the strongest. They can travel to the four farthest places very quickly. They can also run away quickly if they encounter enemies, while Xiaori is more clever.

He was smart, so he asked him to look at two places in the north and south of the city. These two places were close to the city. If something happened to Pei Mengqing and the others, Xiaori could quickly analyze the situation and judge whether to rescue them in time.

As for the wealthy businessman Mr. Jia, he can visit Dongfang Xiaoyu as the daughter of the county clerk, or he can directly observe from the dark.

But there is still a problem.

Xiaori: "Do you know how to distinguish formations, or do you know how to tell whether there is a formation in a place?"

"……don't know."

Pei Mengqing raised her head and said embarrassedly.

Xiaori had no choice but to teach Pei Mengqing the method of distinguishing formations to prevent him from wasting his time.

Soon, the two men and two cats split up and headed to their destinations.

Among them, Pei Mengqing and Dongfang Xiaoyu have the closest destination, which is the "Rich Man's Street" in the East District of Chengdu.

"I haven't been home for a day, so I can't go back too late." Dongfang Xiaoyu said suddenly.

The two of them went out under the name of university graduation essay. Now that they haven't returned home after a day, I'm afraid Xiaoyu's mother will be worried.

Pei Mengqing nodded and said that she could just look outside the courtyard wall tonight.

It would be great if he knew the formations. I heard from Xiaori that if he was proficient in the formations, he could reversely deduce the composition and distribution of the entire formation after seeing one or two formations, and also see the characteristics of the formations.

real purpose.

I hope to have the opportunity to learn relevant knowledge in the future...

They soon arrived outside the home of wealthy businessman Mr. Jia.

Mr. Jia's residence is a high courtyard with deep walls. Like the surrounding neighbors, it is difficult to climb over and spy on.

"This Mr. Jia's family is in the cloth business. He is from the Jia family in Xiangcheng. Ninety percent of the garment shops and tailor shops in Liangzhou County rely on the supply of fabrics from Mr. Jia's family, otherwise they will not be able to do business."

Dongfang Xiaoyu introduced Mr. Jia's business and background. What he actually meant was that Mr. Jia's family was not to be trifled with. During the investigation, he tried not to cause too much trouble. If there was no formation in Jia's house, then he would really offend someone in the family.

A wealthy businessman with considerable say in Liangzhou County.

Pei Mengqing turned over and scraped the wall, but only one head was on top, and she peeked into the courtyard wall.

Dongfang Xiaoyu on the side made the same move as him, and also looked into the courtyard wall.

There was no one in the courtyard, and there were no lights in the surrounding rooms. If you listened carefully, there was not even a slight rustling sound.

If you listen carefully, you can't even hear breathing.

It was as if what they came to was not a courtyard with people living in it, but a wax museum, which became silent when there were no tourists at night. It was a bit scary to think about it.

"There's no sound." Pei Mengqing whispered, "It seems there's no need to continue investigating."

"You mean, Mr. Jia's whole family has been controlled?"

"Well, let me see if there is any formation first."

Pei Mengqing followed Xiaori's instructions and covered her eyes with anger.

Xiaori said that what he cultivates is different from that of people in this world. He can only see it through Qi. If there are lines on the ground, there are formations.

He looked at the courtyard again, and what he saw this time was indeed different from before.

There are countless complicated lines crisscrossing the courtyard. If you want to memorize the patterns, you will feel a headache and cannot remember them.

He also saw that the willow tree in the yard was one of the main intersection points of the lines.

"Is there any?"

"Yes, I will try again to see if there is anyone."

Pei Mengqing fell to the ground, found a small pebble, climbed back onto the wall, aimed at the door panel of the main room, flicked the pebble out with her fingers, and hit the door panel hard with a "snap" sound.

The door was suddenly pushed open, but no one could be seen inside, only a dark room, like a monster that chooses people to eat, waiting for its prey to fall into a trap.

Dongfang Xiaoyu shivered and suddenly felt a chill on her back.

The same is true for Pei Mengqing.

Without hesitation, his hands left the courtyard wall, and the moment before landing on the ground, he drew his sword and swung it behind him.

Strong resistance came, and the Qingshuang Sword was blocked. In turn, a strong push pushed Pei Mengqing against the wall, pressing him tightly.

[Temporarily trigger combat mission: Defeat "Master Jia" within half a quarter of an hour. 】

[Task reward: 20 points]

[Punishment for failure: surrounded by reinforcements from Tianmeng Pavilion.]

"Miss Xiaoyu, attack with all your strength!"

Pei Mengqing gave a low shout, exploded with strength, and pushed her opponent away.

Dongfang Xiaoyu did not hesitate, drew out the jade sword from her waist, and struck "Master Jia" on the back with the sword.

"clang!"

The sword seemed to have struck an iron block and was bounced away hard. Dongfang Xiaoyu was shocked, but in order to help Pei Mengqing out, she struck at the weak points of "Master Jia's" body with one sword after another.

The Master Jia in front of him was covered in bruises, his face was pale, his expression was ferocious, two tiger teeth protruded from his mouth, his whole body was extremely hard, and he exuded a cold aura.

"When I blanch it, why do I look like a zombie?"

The cold energy of the Qingshuang Sword lost its effect for the first time.

Zombies are inherently cold monsters, and the frost power of the Blue Frost Sword is not enough to freeze the zombies.

On the contrary, the zombie's claws were as hard as iron. After several sword blows, only some scratches appeared on the zombie's claws, which did not damage the roots.
