Seeing such a scene, Zhou Zhou Ming guessed that these lit rooms must be uninhabited, and the reason why the lights were lit inside must be the Ecstasy Array deliberately set up by the Supreme Daoist for his personal safety, so that one day if someone comes here to trouble him, these lit rooms can play a certain role in confusing him, so that he has enough time to escape.

Thinking of this, Zhou Ming continued to observe the entire Peach Blossom View.

The front yard of the Peach Blossom Temple is very large, almost half of the houses of the Taoist Temple are concentrated in the front yard, and between the front and back yards of the Taoist Temple, there is no passage, there is only a small Yongdao between the two yards, the middle of the Yongdao is blocked, and there is no door to pass, which makes the backyard an independent world, in the dead of night, if no one pays special attention, no matter what the people in the backyard do, no one will know.

Zhou Ming guessed that such a careful layout of the Taoist temple must have been designed by the Supreme Daoist with a lot of time, and living in it, he could not only hide himself as a Taoist priest, but also do whatever he wanted in this independent backyard without attracting anyone's attention.

"What a scheming old thief!" Zhou Ming said secretly in his heart.

Zhou Ming squatted on the courtyard wall, and hesitated for a while, not knowing whether to jump directly from here to the front yard of the Taoist temple, or move from the courtyard wall to the backyard, and then jump in to find out.

After full consideration, Zhou Zhou Ming felt that he would not be startled, so he should jump into the front yard first, and then find a chance to enter the backyard, because if he jumped directly into the backyard, with the martial arts cultivation of the Supreme Daoist, it would be difficult for him not to notice the clues.

In order not to make any noise after jumping into the yard, Zhou Ming can be described as painstaking.

He first inserted the seven-star treasure knife into his belt, tied it firmly, and then took off his shoes, held them in his hand, and the whole person stood up on tiptoe, suddenly jumped, jumped into the courtyard and rolled, unloaded his strength, and the whole action was done in one go, without making any sound.

After entering the courtyard, Zhou Zhou Ming immediately got up and quickly moved to the shadow of a courtyard wall, and then observed the situation in the courtyard very vigilantly.

At this moment, he realized that the three rooms with lights on just now outside were very well arranged, and the light shining from the windows of the rooms could cover almost the entire front yard.

"What a clever design." Zhou Ming couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

And he also understood another truth in his heart, a master of the Northern Kingdom like the Supreme Daoist, who had been lurking in the Great Chu Kingdom for so many years, had not been discovered, and he definitely had his own uniqueness.

Those lit rooms may seem simple and serve as a deterrent, but in fact they should be more than that.

Northlanders have lived under cruel natural conditions for a long time, and the pressure of survival competition is high, so those who survive are generally ruthless, and when facing interests and their own safety, they can treat the lives of others as child's play, even if they are their own family, if they encounter a conflict of interest, they will not hesitate to kill.

These knowledge from the Di Bao had a great impact on Zhou Ming, and just now when he was fighting against the flower-faced wolf in Huamanlou, Zhou Ming had already seen the power of the northerners, and he almost died on the spot, at this moment he had some small injuries on his body, and his vitality was insufficient, so when he arrested the supreme Taoist, he had to fight up the spirit of twelve points, and he couldn't make a mistake at all.

Looking at the light shining from those rooms, Zhou Ming suspected in his heart that these lights were likely to be traps, and once someone passed through these lights, they might immediately trigger a salvo of ten thousand arrows and shoot people into hedgehogs.

Thinking of that terrifying sight, Zhou Zhou Ming couldn't help but ooze a trace of cold sweat on his forehead, he took out the Seven Star Treasure Knife from his waist, grasped the scabbard with one hand, and kept the other hand near the hilt at all times, in order to guard against the danger that might arise at any time.

After a quarter of the incense time had passed, Zhou Zhou Ming made sure that there was no movement in the front yard, and immediately moved his steps slowly, carefully passing through the middle of the courtyard, perfectly avoiding every ray of light shining from the room, and quietly walked towards the corridor connecting the front and back yards.

With a squeak, the door of a room next to Yongdao was suddenly opened, and a fifteen or sixteen-year-old Taoist boy came out of it.

"Uncle San just has a lot of things, why do you leave three rooms of lights in the middle of the night? I can't open my eyes when I get up and pee, it's really annoying! ”

Zhou Ming was shocked, and hurriedly hid behind the chaimen, always vigilant, for fear that this little Taoist boy would ruin his good deeds.

Xiao Daotong passed by the chaimen where Zhou Ming was hiding, and did not find Zhou Yiming, and the noise he made did not alarm the other people in the view, even in the backyard, there was no sound.

Zhou Ming breathed a sigh of relief slightly, thinking that it was fortunate that this little Taoist boy did not cause a bigger wave, otherwise things would be troublesome, once he attracted the attention of the supreme Taoist in the backyard, as long as he came to the front yard, he would immediately find himself, and then things would be tricky.

Let's not talk about whether Zhou Ming is completely sure that he can defeat him.

Even if he played normally and defeated the Supreme Daoist, it would inevitably alarm the entire Taoist Temple at that time, no matter how great Zhou Ming's ability was, once the Supreme Daoist jumped over the wall in a hurry, how many people could he save.

Zhou Ming knew very well in his heart that the wisest way for him now was to hide in the dark honestly, and when the little Taoist boy was finished, he would go back to rest, and then he would find a way to approach the backyard and implement his arrest plan.

When the time comes, the enemy is in the open and he is in the dark, the enemy is passive and he is active, no matter from which side of the consideration, the initiative is on his side, even if in the end the Supreme Daoist is forced to a dead end, when he wants to use some vicious tricks, he will have enough time to find a way to deal with it.

After making up his mind, Zhou Ming held his breath and concentrated, and the whole person stuck to the wall behind the chai door, not daring to make a sound, and only begged the little Taoist boy not to meddle in his affairs, and quickly finished his affairs and went back to sleep.

After a while, the little Taoist came out of the latrine, humming a little tune, and lifting his trousers, and walked to the middle of the courtyard, and he suddenly took a strange step, avoiding all light, and walking only in dark places, and walking cautiously, completely different from the way he had just come out of the room.

"Fortunately, I have developed a habit, otherwise I will have to be scolded by the third uncle when I encounter these lights!"

Xiao Daotong complained, his face full of unhappy expressions.

Hearing Xiao Daotong complain like this, Zhou Zhou Ming was afraid for a while, but fortunately, his brain was turning fast just now, and he saw that these lights were by no means simple, otherwise if he was careless, he might have died on the spot at this moment.

"The Northlanders really live up to their reputation."

Zhou Ming hid behind the door of the firewood room, and the firewood room was next to the way Xiao Daotong had to go back to the room, if he wanted to return to his room smoothly, he had to pass by Zhou Ming, when the two of them were the closest, Zhou Zhou Ming could even see the small black mole on Xiao Daotong's neck in the dark night.

Xiao Daotong hummed a little song while slowly walking towards his room, seeing that he was about to pass by Zhou Ming's side.

Zhou Zhou Ming immediately straightened up, eager to integrate his body with the wall behind him to achieve the best hidden effect, because he knew best in his heart that when Xiao Daotong passed by him, it was easiest to find him, and as long as this level was passed, the plan behind could be implemented perfectly.

He kept his eyes on Xiao Daotong, for fear that something would go wrong in the middle.

Xiao Daotong naturally didn't know that he was in a critical crisis, but he was in a good mood and staggered, and when he walked to the closest position to Zhou Ming, he didn't notice Zhou Ming's existence at all, and walked over.

Zhou Ming breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, and just as he was about to do what to do next, an accident suddenly happened.

The moon, which was originally covered by dark clouds, suddenly appeared, and the moonlight sprinkled down, illuminating the entire front yard of the Peach Blossom Temple, and everything hidden in the darkness suddenly had nothing to hide.

Xiao Daotong, who had already passed by Zhou Mingming, didn't have much interest in the moonlight, he didn't even bother to look back at the scene in the courtyard, and still walked to his room by himself, as if nothing had happened.

Zhou Ming is hidden behind the door of the firewood room, and the firewood room itself is not made of bricks and tiles, but is woven with some vines and plants, so the wall of the firewood room is transparent, and the firewood door is made of some broken wood and vines, and there are big holes in the middle.

At this moment, the moon suddenly appeared, and he was standing in the backlight, and the shadow suddenly appeared in front of Xiao Daotong.

Xiao Daotong, who was already about to walk to the door of his room, was shocked when he saw a figure suddenly appear in front of him, and he opened his mouth and wanted to howl.

“……”

Zhou Ming reacted quickly, immediately stepped forward, held the seven-star knife in his left hand, pressed the scabbard against Xiao Daotong's choked throat, covered his mouth with his right hand, and dragged him into the shadows.

Xiao Daotong's face was suffocated red in great fright, and his two eyes stared at Zhou Ming widely, although he had been controlled by Zhou Ming, but judging from his breathing rate, he wanted to shout at all times.

"If you don't want to die, shut your mouth!" Zhou Zhou Ming knew in his heart that even if he reasoned with this little Taoist boy at this time, he would not understand his good intentions, so he could only use intimidation to make him shut up.

Xiao Daotong burst into tears, trembling desperately on Zhou Ming's hands, and his eyes showed the meaning of begging for mercy.

"I can let you go, but if you scream, I'll crush your throat! Do you understand what I mean? Zhou Ming lowered his voice and said in a terrible tone.

Xiao Daotong nodded obediently, and the whole person trembled, for fear that Zhou Ming would be unhappy, so he pulled out the seven-star treasure knife in his hand and killed him with one slash.
