Volume 19: Legend of Lu Xiaofeng Chapter 542: Fire Burns the Island
The Ten Thousand Flowers Formation is extremely large and dense, with branches as tall as the body and green leaves covering the eyes.
Even if a person flies high into the air, it is difficult to get a general idea of the formation.
What's more, it is impossible for Su Weiyun to really fly, as that would completely expose her figure.
So Su Weiyun and the other four took a long and winding walk among the flowers and plants before they slowly walked out of the bushes. When they walked out, Ding Xi already had some sweat on his head, which was due to the effort of deducing.
The five people walked out of the Thousand Flowers Array, and suddenly their vision became clear and broadened.
"Fortunately, there is no one presiding over this formation. If the old man were here, I'm afraid we wouldn't be able to leave so easily."
Ding Xi had just sighed when he suddenly saw a billowing black smoke rising from the rising sun in the east, covering the clouds and the sun, rushing straight up, almost dyeing the sky black.
When the wind blew strongly, the black smoke began to surge continuously, as if thousands of troops were galloping and shouting in it, showing off their might and shouting loudly.
At this time, the south wind was blowing, and the wind helped the fire. The smoke rushed quickly and burned away in a blink of an eye!
Su Weiyun looked to the south again and saw a column of smoke rising straight up and then getting bigger.
The same is true in the West.
Only the sky in the north was clear, without any clouds or smoke.
Su Weiyun said: "They finally set fire to the island."
Not only did they set fire to the island, but they did so from three sides simultaneously. Coupled with the dense vegetation on the nameless island, it ignited in the blink of an eye and almost burned the sky!
Qiu Fengwu said: "Since they have already set the fire, they must be planning to abandon Wuming Island."
Xiao Ma said hurriedly: "So we have to hold them back quickly! Otherwise they will run away!"
Yang Zheng said, "We'd better take good care of ourselves."
Ding Xi asked, "Where is Lu Xiaofeng? Why don't we see him?"
The four of them looked at Su Weiyun.
Su Weiyun replied: "He is either on the island and has not met us yet; or he guessed that I was injured and went to deliver the message alone."
Ding Xi was surprised and said, "The vast ocean is different from the land. How can he send a message?"
Su Weiyun said: "He naturally has his own way."
So Ding Xi stopped asking and said, "Where should we go now? Escape to the north? Gong Jiu must have set up a trap in the north, waiting for us to go there."
The fire burned three parties, but one was spared.
Gong Jiu clearly wanted Su Weiyun to escape to the north and run headfirst into his trap, but Su Weiyun had no choice but to go!
Su Weiyun pondered for a long time before saying, "Gong Jiu dared to set fire to the island. He must have received some news from the outside world and wanted to force me out quickly. Unfortunately, I am now in the center of the nameless island. In this case..."
"Let's go to the famous palace!"
…
An unknown island, but on this nameless island there is a famous palace.
Of course, only very famous people can enter the famous hall, but at this moment the door was unguarded.
When the fire broke out on the Nameless Island, it meant that they had launched a general attack - everyone went out to search for Su Weiyun, so naturally there was no one here.
Ding Xi knocked three times on the golden ring on the door of the famous hall, then groped to an empty space on the side, squatted down, and did something on the ground.
Then they saw a thick rope appear on the open ground. Ding Xi gently pulled the rope, causing a "buzzing" sound, and then the heavy and thick door of the famous hall slowly opened.
" The mechanism made by the old man is really interesting!"
Xiao Ma rushed in first, jumping up and down on the dragon throne at the top of the famous hall, and said with a chuckle, "Gong Jiu and his group of idiots will never guess that we are playing in their lair!"
Ding Xi also stepped inside and said in a deep voice, "It's what they wanted."
Xiao Ma was surprised and said, "If they really wanted to achieve this, why didn't they leave someone to guard this place?"
Ding Xi said: "Because it is not necessary."
Su Weiyun explained: "All of them were probably searching in a semicircle along the path of the fire. They searched one mile for every mile the fire burned, from the outside to the inside, and in the end everyone could only meet up in the north, and no one could escape!"
Whether you are in a famous palace or among flowers, you cannot escape the fire.
Xiao Ma hurried out to look at the smoke and muttered, "It will take quite some time for this fire to reach here."
Ding Xi said: "I calculated when I came here, these two days are the time when the southeast wind is blowing the strongest, and there won't be a single drop of rain!"
What this means is that this raging fire may soon spread to the entire nameless island!
Xiao Ma asked, "If you can figure it out, can the old man do it too?"
Ding Xi said: "He must be more accurate than me!"
Qiu Fengwu and Yang Zheng both fell silent.
Su Weiyun smiled and said, "So our decision seems to be correct at least now. If we didn't come here, even if we were not burned by the fire outside, we would have been suffocated to death by the smoke!"
Xiao Ma said, "If we wait here, aren't we just sitting there waiting to die?"
Yang Zheng suddenly said: "It's better to sit and wait for death than to be burned to death. The most important thing we should do now is to fill our stomachs."
Qiu Fengwu responded: "Yes, we should find some food to eat now."
As they talked, they turned around and prepared to explore the famous hall.
Ding Xi said: "The famous hall is a place for entertaining guests. There should be no mechanisms or traps that can hurt people. You just need to be careful."
The five people worked together and explored separately, and indeed found some fruits and fine wine.
It was already afternoon.
Xiao Ma was eating and drinking, but he said unsatisfactorily: "These must be what they left over. Humph, I never thought that one day I would have to eat what Gong Jiu left over!"
Ding Xi smiled and said, "It's good to have something to eat. Have you forgotten the days when we were starving on Hungry Tiger Hill?"
Xiao Ma laughed when he heard this: "Hahaha, life was very hard back then, but ever since I became a young marquis..."
“Hahahahahaha…”
The wine glasses clinked together.
The clear sound echoed in the hall.
After getting the conversation started, the five of them began to chat about the changes that had taken place over the past decade.
At the beginning, the old man set up a strange and confusing situation, deliberately causing the world and human nature to change drastically. He was worried that Baili Changqing would find out the flaw, so he took Ding Xi as a hostage.
However, Xiao Ma fell into the trap and got the advantage, and served as the Marquis of Di's mansion peacefully for several years.
Qiu Fengwu went to Mount Tai a few years ago. He originally wanted to find his lost Peacock Feather, but accidentally discovered a martial arts relic. He then practiced in seclusion in the mountains and became a grandmaster.
"When I returned, Peacock Villa was actually well managed by that Kong Lanjun."
Su Weiyun asked, "She didn't harm anyone in your village, did she?"
Qiu Fengwu said: "No. She said she didn't dare, and the old man didn't order her to do so."
Yang Zheng was a captain of the Liushenmen, and was appreciated by the emperor, who often sent him overseas to handle cases. This time he happened to meet Ding Xi and others, and they hit it off immediately.
Su Weiyun asked, "I heard that Long Wu and Jin Kaijia went to fight in the south and the north, is that right?"
Yang Zheng replied, "Yes. The war in the north has been very intense in recent years, but fortunately, Lord Long Wu is both a master of martial arts and well versed in military tactics. I believe he will be able to return home victoriously soon."
"Where are the little baldy?"
At that time, Xiao Balili was also a master with considerable strength and elusiveness.
Yang Zheng recalled and said, "He seems to be in the southern mountains, but I don't know the details."
“…”
The five of them chatted and before they knew it, it was night.
Normally, the sky on Nameless Island is filled with stars at night, but tonight it is filled with blazing flames.
There was also a faint smell of coke and gunpowder in the air.
The wine is gone and the cup is empty.
Xiao Ma muttered, "It's time to rest. Let's take turns to keep watch and sleep."
Su Weiyun joked: "I didn't expect Xiao Ma to understand these things."
Xiao Ma snorted, jumped behind the dragon throne, and said, "I learned this on Hungry Tiger Hill. Although I have a bad temper, I'm not really stupid!"
"I will move this dragon chair to the entrance of the hall. Sit down..."
As soon as he said this, some button was touched and the dragon throne slowly moved away.
And underneath it, a dark and mysterious secret passage was revealed, extending into the depths with no end in sight!
“Ouch!”
The pony was not careful and almost fell in. He quickly grabbed the dragon throne to stand firm.
The other four people looked at each other, and Su Weiyun smiled bitterly and said, "It seems that no one can sleep tonight."
