"Mr. Hong is going to Peach Blossom Island?"

"Is there any inconvenience?"

"Nothing, I'll ask people to prepare the boat."

After Shen Sanwan knew Hong Kang's identity, he would naturally stop calling him Hong Shaoxia.

He called him "Lord Hong", but Hong Kang felt awkward. In the end, Shen Sanwan called him "Mr. Hong".

Shen Sanwan felt that there was nothing to hide about the layout on Peach Blossom Island. Since Hong Kang wanted to take a look, it didn't matter.

Above the East China Sea.

Looking from a distance, it looks like a sapphire, boundless.

Looking closer, the sea water is not as dark blue as before. It is a kind of gray-brown with a little white in it. I really can’t tell what color it is. A gust of wind roars, and the sea rolls up waves, which are snow-white. Snow white.

The tip of my nose twitched slightly, and the unique salty smell of sea water came.

Shen Anqi was on the side, chattering and introducing Hong Kang, telling everything she knew.

Talking about the scenery on Peach Blossom Island.

Talk about what Shen Sanwan built Peach Blossom Island into for himself.

When he said that, he looked at Hong Kang's beautiful eyes with the slightest ripple in his eyes.

Hong Kang just listened quietly.

He was aware of the girl's thoughts.

But in his opinion, this is just a girl's longing for a strong man, not true love.

Hong Kang was not a real young man, and he never gave a vague response to the girl's vague feelings.

He believes that when a girl meets more people, has more experiences, and becomes more mature, her views on relationships will naturally change.

It's not that Shen Anqi couldn't feel Hong Kang's distant attitude.

Girls' hearts are always sensitive.

But in her opinion, this is because the two of them are not familiar enough.

However, her upbringing made it impossible for her to be as direct and enthusiastic as the women of later generations.

"Brother Hong, do you know why my father named me An Qi?" Shen Anqi said coquettishly.

Although she came from a merchant family, the girl still felt a little embarrassed when she told other men the origin of her name.

"Qi, jade also belongs to the genus."

Hong Kang didn't seem to notice, and said calmly, "It's a kind of beautiful jade. I guess in Shen Daguan's heart, you are his precious thing."

"No way!"

Shen Anqi said: "Because of An Qisheng. Brother Hong, have you heard of An Qisheng?"

Hong Kang thought: "An Qisheng?"

"Who is this?"

"Hehe..." Shen Anqi laughed happily, "It turns out there is something you don't know about, Brother Hong!"

Hong Kang smiled calmly and said: "I am not an omniscient and omnipotent true immortal. Isn't it normal to have things that I don't know?!"

"snort!"

Shen Anqi's nose twitched and she pretended to be proud of herself.

"An Qisheng was a figure from the pre-Qin period and the legendary founder of the Chinese Immortal Way. There are rumors that he lived in seclusion in the East China Sea area and then attained enlightenment and ascended to heaven."

"After my father learned about this legend, he named me An Qi. Of course, the word [Qi] was slightly changed."

After hearing Shen Anqi's explanation, Hong Kang suddenly remembered who she was talking about?

"I seem to have an impression. The person listed in the third left position in the "True Spirit Position and Industry Map" compiled by Tao Hongjing seems to be An Qisheng, who is regarded as the "Northern True Man". Is he the one you are talking about?! "

Shen Anqi felt a little guilty and her eyes wandered: "Uh... I guess so!"

She doesn't know anything about the "True Spirit Position and Karma Map".

…

A sea route of dozens of miles is not that far away.

In addition, the weather was very good today, there was no wind or waves, so we arrived in half a day.

Before he even landed on the island, Hong Kang could see from a distance that there were long mountains, strange reefs and strange rocks, blue sea and golden sands, secluded creeks and caves, brilliant mountain flowers, dense hills, undulating mountains, verdant trees, and infinitely beautiful scenery.

“What a wonderful place on earth!”

Hong Kang praised.

"Brother Hong, if you like it, you can stay as long as you want."

"I appreciate Miss Shen's kindness." Hong Kang said, "It's just that I still have younger brothers and sisters at home. I have to go back when I finish my work. My younger brother has to prepare for the imperial examination next year!"

"Oh~~" Shen Anqi said angrily, "I told you, Brother Hong, just call me An Qi! It seems weird to call me Miss Shen."

Hong Kang just smiled and said nothing.

In response to this, Shen Anqi was helpless.

Got to the island.

Hong Kang, led by Shen Anqi, spent two days exploring the island.

Unfortunately, the result did not satisfy Hong Kang.

Except for some words left on the stone wall and the peach grove that fills the mountain, there is no trace of Huang Yaoshi.

Standing on the top of the mountain.

Hong Kang stood with his hands behind his back.

The sea breeze blew, and my clothes rustled.

Hong Kang turned his head and looked at the side peak, where there was a faint inscription.

It has been exposed to wind, sun and rain for hundreds of years, and what is written in the handwriting can no longer be seen.

Hong Kang sighed deeply: "The dignified [Dongxie] is a great master and a scholar of heaven and man, but he has only been around for four hundred years and has no name in the world."

"Time is indeed the fairest and cruelest thing in the world!"

Hong Kang looked down at the peach grove below. What he wanted to see was not the bustling and bright peach grove.

Close your eyes, open your mind, and feel the aura around you carefully.

Half a moment.

Opening his eyes, Hong Kang sighed softly: "Sure enough, I didn't sense anything."

He knew that Huang Yaoshi planted this peach forest all over the mountain according to a certain direction. This peach blossom forest was supposed to be a formation that could enchant the mind.

The so-called formation method is something Hong Kang has never understood.

Hong Kang felt that it should be vaguely related to the aura between heaven and earth.

But we can't just rely on conjecture, this needs to be verified. Hong Kang also thought about whether he could get inspiration from the peach forest, but he could only be disappointed.

"It's time to leave."

After saying that, Hong Kang jumped down from the peak.

…………

The southeast is beautiful, the three Wu cities, and Qiantang has been prosperous since ancient times. It has smoked willow painted bridges, wind curtains and green curtains, and hundreds of thousands of homes.

This is the picture depicted in Liu Sanbian's Ci.

West Lake is also the first choice for many literati to visit.

Hong Kang came west from Taohua Island. After arriving at the West Lake, he rented a small boat and floated around.

The boat was held by a middle-aged boatman, while Hong Kang was lying in the boat, looking at the mountains and rivers in the distance.

Leisurely and contented.

"Isn't this your first time here, guest?!"

"Oh! How did I know that?" Hong Kang shook the wine cup in his hand and glanced at the boatman.

"Hey hey hey..." the boatman said cheerfully, "I have been punting here for decades, and I have attracted many guests. This is the first time for people who come to the West Lake, and those who have been here several times, it has been a long time. If you do, you can tell the difference.”

"My brother has great eyesight!" Hong Kang praised.

It is indeed not his first time to visit West Lake.

He had been to this place in previous lives.

But, in different worlds, different eras, different environments, even in the same place, people's experiences and moods are different.

As Liu Guo said: "If you want to buy sweet-scented osmanthus and drink it with you, it's not like you are a young man."

The boatman spoke again: "Looking at the guest officer's appearance, is there something happy?!"
