"Huh? He actually went crazy!" Ito Cheng, who noticed the change in Ji Fa's aura, said in surprise. Without hesitation, he appeared behind Ji Fa in a flash, pressed his head with one hand, and at the same time flipped his left hand and took out Holding the sky crystal with the fourth layer of ice and snow formula in his hand, he silently performed mystical skills and instilled the energy of the ice and snow absorbed from the sky crystal into Ji Fa's body through the method of star movement. He relied on the same source of energy to stabilize his body. Ji Fa's violent inner energy.

"...Looking at the heart from the inside, the heart has no heart; looking at the shape from the outside, but the shape has no shape; looking at the things from a distance, the things have no things; once the three are realized, one can only see emptiness. Looking at emptiness, it is also empty, and there is nothing empty. ; What is empty is nothing, and there is nothing and nothing; there is nothing, and there is always peace and tranquility. There is no silence, so how can desire arise? When desire does not arise, it is true tranquility. The truth always responds to things, and the truth always obtains its nature; Always be quiet, always be quiet. Being so quiet, you gradually enter the true way..." Immediately afterwards, Ito Cheng used mental induction and the method of sound transmission from the heart to send a scripture about enlightenment and purification into Ji Fa's mind. Help him calm his chaotic heart.

After letting it fall like this, Ji Fa's breath soon calmed down.

"Hoo~" Then, Ji Fa performed the exercises for several more days, collected the breath into his Dantian, took a long breath, and came out of the state of concentration.

"Thank you, teacher, for the help." Ji Fa, who had regained consciousness, quickly stood up from the futon and bowed respectfully to Ito Cheng and thanked him.

"Why do you practice Qigong if your mind is not at peace? If you want to seek death, just say so, sir, I can help you!" Ito Cheng looked at Ji Fa in front of him with cold eyes and scolded him in a cold voice.

"Teacher, calm down, it's Ji Fa's fault. Please punish me, teacher." Hearing the scolding, Ji Fa quickly knelt on the ground and admitted his mistake.

"Want to punish? Well, later you go to the top of the back mountain and stay on the cliff for four hours. You are not allowed to come down before the time." Ito Cheng sneered.

The so-called top of the back mountain is where the original private residence of the Lord of Piaomiao City - the Snow Castle was located. However, it has been unused since Ito Cheng became the Lord of the City. It has become a pure snowy peak with no human habitation and only some cold-resistant animals. Haunted there from time to time.

"Yes, teacher." Ji Fa accepted the order, but he did not leave. Instead, he kowtowed to the ground again and said earnestly, "But teacher, if something cannot be solved, Ji Fa's thoughts will never be settled." Jing, even if I can survive this time, I might go crazy next time and die, so I sincerely ask the teacher to help me."

"You want to plead for your father, uncle and others?" Ito Cheng, who knew what Ji Fa was talking about, sneered.

"That's exactly what happened. Please be lenient, teacher." Ji Fa replied without raising his head.

"As long as they are willing to hand over what I want, I will naturally not embarrass them. But unfortunately, they are stubborn, so I have to imprison them and wait for them to 'think about it.'" Ito Cheng said softly.

"This..." Ji Fa, who had already heard from Xiuwei what Ito Cheng wanted, was speechless. If it were something else, he might still be able to get it as the second son of Xibohou, but He He Tuhe Xiqi, unless he wants to deceive his master and destroy his ancestors, it is absolutely impossible!

"But this city lord can guarantee that your father, uncle and others will be safe. I will release them when the time comes." He paused. He didn't want Ji Fa to really get into trouble while practicing. Ito Cheng, who died after being possessed by a demon, offered words of comfort.

"Then I wonder when the 'time' the teacher mentioned was?" Ji Fa straightened up and asked.

"You will know when the time comes," Ito Cheng said quietly.

"Okay, please step back." Then, without giving Ji Fa a chance to speak, he said again.

"Yes." Ji Fa had no choice but to salute and obey, then stood up from the ground and exited the room gently.

And since that day, he didn't know whether it was because he was overthinking it or because Captain Xiu had tried to persuade him again. Although Ji Fa's face was still gloomy, his thoughts had straightened out a lot. During the practice, he never appeared again.

The incident of going crazy made Ito Cheng feel at ease a lot.

In this way, Ji Fa progressed very quickly, and in the blink of an eye, he broke through the Bi Bingxue and Zi Xinghe levels and entered the cultivation realm of Indigo Sea.

At this time, eight days have passed. Adding in the previous days, more than half a month has passed since the first month of departure, and it is almost time to say goodbye.

Of course, Ito Cheng was not idle in the process of teaching Ji Fa. Almost every day after teaching Ji Fa, Ito Cheng would leave for the prison and use hypnosis to hypnotize and cleanse the Xiqi soldiers.

`Brain, turn them into subordinates who are loyal to you. As of today, all the hypnosis has been completed. All it takes is a suitable opportunity to release them back to Xiqi, mix them into the Xiqi army, and become heroes that you may not necessarily use one day.

There is a strong internal response.

…

This evening.

"Lord City Lord." A pleasant girl said from outside the door.

"What's the matter?" Ito Cheng, who was lying on the couch and being served by the maids around him, asked quietly.

"Miss Xiu said that she has something to ask you. I hope you can come over and lie down." The maid replied.

"Xiuwei? I understand, tell her I'll be there later." Ito Cheng said in surprise.

"Yes." The maid responded, and then disappeared into the corridor outside the house amidst the sound of gentle footsteps that gradually faded away.

"I didn't expect that she would actually want to take the initiative to see me." Ito Cheng, who exerted strength from his waist, sat up from the couch, and stood up, murmured with interest. Then he raised his hand, straightened his clothes, and walked out.

room and moved towards the wing where Lieutenant Xiu was.

A few minutes later, Ito Cheng came to the room where Lieutenant Xiu was, opened the door and walked in without ceremony.

In an instant, Xiu Wei, who was sitting crookedly on the bed tower and was lost in thought, came into his eyes.

"You want to see me?" Ito Cheng asked.

"Creak, bang." At the same time, the maid Zhiqu standing guard at the door closed the door.

"Yes." Xiuwei, who came back, sighed quietly and looked at Ito Cheng with a serious look on his face.

"Oh?" Ito Cheng, who heard Xiu Wei's personal admission, looked at her with interest.

"Did I agree to that?" Xiuwei said quietly.

"What?" This nonsense made Ito Cheng not understand what she was talking about for a while, and he couldn't help but raise his eyebrows.

"Are you asking questions knowingly?" Xiu Wei's cheeks were slightly red and his expression was filled with shame and anger.

"Oh~, that's the one you're talking about." Ito Cheng said suddenly.

The thing that Xiuwei said was nothing else. It was the matter that Ito Cheng mentioned casually when he asked Xiuwei to write a letter to blackmail Xibo Hou Ji Chang for asking for the river map, that he wanted to marry Xiuwei. But at that time, he only said it casually.

, I didn’t really take it to heart at all, otherwise during the period when she and Ji Fa were imprisoned, apart from normal meetings, they wouldn’t even look at her.

After all, when it comes to beauty, Xiuwei is not among the best, and it would not make Ito Cheng's heart move at first sight.

"Why, are you thinking too much?" Ito Cheng said in surprise.

"I will use this body of mine to exchange for the freedom of Lord Hou." Xiu Wei said in a sonorous tone.

For a moment, Ito Cheng frowned, his face looking a little unhappy.

"Although you have good looks, you are still at the point where I would give up some things for you. What's more, I don't like this kind of deal where you are trapped for other men, so let's stop here today." Ito

Cheng said quietly without any emotion in his eyes.

When Xiu Wei heard this, his face turned pale, and he couldn't help but reveal a miserable look on his face.

She wanted Xiu Wei to be clean and self-sufficient, and she should have only had Shu Wei who died in the Battle of Jiuding in her heart. However, for the sake of her loyal Lord Xibo, she had to sacrifice her body to the enemy against her will in exchange for the Lord Hou's.

Freedom, so that the second young master would not be so sad, but who would have thought that in the end, he would be ruthlessly rejected by the other party and ridiculed. How did this make her feel better? There was even a moment when Xiu Wei wanted to just die.

.

Fortunately, her reason was still there and her heart was strong enough, so she did not pull out a weapon and commit suicide on the spot.

"But if one day you are willing to commit yourself to the Lord of the City, the Lord of the City will be very happy to come." At this moment, Ito Cheng, who had already walked to the door and put his hands on the doorknob, said with his back to Lieutenant Xiu.

Wei Xiu was speechless and lowered his head silently.

"Crunch~" Ito Cheng, who didn't expect any reply from Lieutenant Xiu, stretched out his hand, opened the door, left the room, walked along the corridor, and returned to his palace.

And this thing, like a small ripple splashing out of a pool, was blown away in an instant by the cold wind blowing all year round on the top of the mountain.

The following days remained the same, and the next ten days passed peacefully as usual.

"The one-month period has arrived, you can hit the road." On this day, just as Ji Fa was integrating the newly acquired Indigo Sea Kung Fu into his body, Ito Cheng's voice rang in his ears.

"Thank you teacher for your teaching this month. Ji Fa will remember it in my heart. If there is an opportunity in the future, I will definitely repay the teacher for his cultivation." Ji Fa stood up and saluted Ito Cheng respectfully.

"Report... I'm looking forward to it." Ito Cheng said with a half-smile.

Ji Fa raised his head and looked at Ito Cheng with some confusion, wondering why his teacher had such an expression.

"Okay, let's go down and find Lieutenant Xiu. She probably has a lot to say to you." Ito Cheng put away his expression and waved his hand.

"Yes, Ji Fa resigned first." Ji Fa said politely. Then he turned around and exited the room, disappearing behind the wooden door that was closed again.

"It's time for me to start my journey and find Jiang Ziya to get the Luoshu..." Ito Chengxu, who watched Ji Fa leave, looked at the wooden door in front of him, looking into the distance as if he could penetrate time and space, and whispered to himself
Chapter completed!
