As soon as the boat docked, Guo Jing and Huang Rong jumped off the boat. The boatman hurriedly drove the boat away as if there was a man-eating monster on the island. Yun Feng, who was slower, had no choice but to jump into the water and curse.
Huang Rong smiled sweetly and threw a silver ingot to the bow. With a clang, the boatman was surprised and happy when he saw the silver ingot. However, he did not dare to stop or thank her. The speed of the boat now was so fast that it was almost impossible to tell that it was sailing against the wind.
Huang Rong then explained to Guo Jing," My father doesn't like people approaching Peach Blossom Island. Besides, the servants on the island are all evil people. After my father caught them on the island, he pierced their ears and cut off their tongues. Therefore, the boatmen in this area regard Peach Blossom Island as an evil place. If we told them from the beginning that we were going to Peach Blossom Island, no one would be willing to take us to sea."”
Only then did Guo Jing realize that the nickname " Evil East " was not just a simple name. There was a reason behind it.
It was April or May, the time when the peach blossoms were blooming. Since Peach Blossom Island was named after peach blossoms, it was natural that there were many peach blossoms planted. At a glance, the entire island was red and beautiful. The fragrance of flowers wafted over, and the air was a little sweet.
"Brother Jing, my house is very beautiful, isn't it?" Huang Rong smiled happily. Hehe, it's a good thing that it's mid-April now. If it had been a little earlier or later, the most beautiful scenery of Peach Blossom Island would have been missed.”
When Guo Jing and the others arrived at the periphery of the Peach Blossom Forest, Huang Rong rolled her eyes and suddenly smiled at Guo Jing."Brother Jing, my father is proficient in the four arts. He knows many astrology techniques and Qimen Dunjia. I wonder if you're interested in seeing it?”
" Island Master Huang is a man of great learning," Guo Jing said longingly." He's naturally extraordinary. I'm lucky enough to have the chance to see him, so I can broaden my horizons."”
Huang Rong slowly took a few steps back and said with a smile,"Don't look at this peach blossom forest as it's in clusters. In fact, it took Father a long time to grow it into this state. There's an illusion formation inside it, which is specially used to prevent others from entering and leaving.”Then, he used his lightness skill and disappeared into the peach blossom forest. He heard her laughter as she walked away.
Guo Jing caught up with her and saw that Huang Rong had disappeared after turning left and right. After walking around in a panic, he found that there were peach trees everywhere. There was no way out at all, so he had to stop. He knew that Huang Rong would not harm him. She was just mischievous and playful.
Yun Feng did not dare to stay too far away from Guo Jing at this time. Once he was trapped in this Peach Blossom Array, it would not be fun. If he separated from Guo Jing, Guo Jing would be fine. Huang Rong would definitely come to find him, but Yun Feng would not dare to make a deal. That eccentric Huang Rong might deliberately make Yun Feng stay in the peach blossom forest for a day or half. She might even lead Guo Jing in circles and lie to him that Yun Feng might have left the peach blossom forest and gone missing. That would really be impossible.
Guo Jing thought for a while and realized that he didn't have any good ideas. He also couldn't see what was different about this array, so he could only wander around, hoping that he would be able to break out. However, if an array formation was so easily broken, then this array formation would be useless. In the end, Guo Jing and the others still could not walk out after walking for an hour.
Yun Feng was so tired that his legs were sore, and he was even more dizzy from being swayed by these identical peach blossoms. No matter how beautiful something was, looking at it for a long time would also cause visual fatigue. Moreover, it was these colorful and red culprits that caused them to be trapped.
"Why don't we knock over all these peach trees? That way, any array formation will be useless.”Yun Feng came up with a rather bad idea. As soon as he said it, he knew that Guo Jing would not agree.
As expected, Guo Jing said,"This is all carefully nurtured by Rong 'er's father. How can it be destroyed?"”
Yun Feng didn't give up." Then we'll aim in the direction of the sun and walk straight. If there are trees blocking us, don't avoid them. We'll just go around them."”Guo Jing didn't have any good ideas, so he could only give it a try.
After walking for half an hour, they were still walking in circles in the peach blossom forest.
Yun Feng did not know what a formation was, nor did he understand it. However, this Peach Blossom Formation should not be one of those unimaginable formations that could confuse people's minds. It was just a "maze" that was similar to a smokescreen, using people's hearts and deceiving people's eyes to achieve the purpose of trapping people. If they couldn't pass through the ground, what about the sky?
Yun Feng felt that this method should be feasible. He said to Guo Jing,"Little Jing, why don't we jump onto a branch and fly over? I don't believe that this array can even block the sky.”Guo Jing nodded and lightly jumped onto a branch. He saw a large area of the forest in front of him, and his vision became much wider.
That's right, the sky could not be blocked. Although he did not have full control of the environment, the position of the sun was much clearer. There was no problem of the trees blocking his line of sight. This way, it was much easier to leave the Peach Blossom Array after knowing the direction.
This Peach Blossom Formation was only used by Medicine Master Huang to stop some ordinary people. It was not very useful against martial arts masters. If Guo Jing and the others encountered those profound killing formations, it would not be as simple as being trapped. They might die in minutes. This also caused Guo Jing and Yun Feng to have insufficient knowledge of formations.
There was a small mountain in the southwest corner of the island. Yun Feng paid special attention to it. Perhaps that was where the old naughty boy Zhou Botong was trapped. Therefore, he said to Guo Jing,"Little Jing, there's a small mountain over there. Why not go there and take a look? Perhaps there would be some gains.”
Guo Jing shook his head awkwardly and said,""Big brother, it's still not good. This is Rong 'er's home. It's disrespectful to the master to barge in without the master's permission.”
Yun Feng was speechless at such a good child who followed the rules. He could only find a time when Guo Jing was not around to secretly take a look. Anyway, Zhou Botong would not disappear.
There was a mountain in the southwest corner and the sea in the south, so only the east and north could be Huang Rong's residence. The ancients liked to sit in the north facing south, so the chances of the house being in the north were higher. Not long after Guo Jing and the others walked north, they saw a unique house appear in front of them.
When they landed and approached the house, a group of seven or eight people dressed in servant's clothes walked out and bowed to Guo Jing. They gestured with their hands and shouted," Ah, ah!" Then, they turned sideways and extended their right hands, as if inviting Guo Jing into the house.
Guo Jing nodded at them. He didn't stand on ceremony and stepped into the charming house.
Huang Rong looked at Guo Jing with a smile in the hall." I didn't expect Brother Jing to walk out of the Peach Blossom Bewildering Formation. Hehe, Rong 'er just finished preparing lunch and was going to look for Brother Jing. I didn't expect you to come out by yourself."”
Guo Jing said in admiration," I admire Island Lord Huang's array. I can't walk out of this maze at all. I can only jump out of the peach tree with my lightness skill."”
"Oh, I see. That formation is not the most powerful formation on Peach Blossom Island. It only prevents ordinary people from barging in. " However, it's already very impressive that Brother Jing could think of this method. I've seen some martial artists who only know how to barge in blindly. Otherwise, they'll use peach trees to vent their anger. Do they think they can break the array just by breaking a few peach trees? If they cut down all of them, they'll be exhausted to death. They won't be flexible at all."”Huang Rong praised Guo Jing a little.
Guo Jing was embarrassed by Huang Rong's praise. He pretended not to hear it and turned to look at the rich dishes. He deliberately said in surprise,"Rong 'er, these dishes look very delicious. You're too polite. You don't have to make so much.”
Huang Rong had spent some time with Guo Jing and knew that he didn't care about the quality of the food. Seeing his tender face, she said,"Since Brother Jing likes it, then eat more.”
