The next day, in the morning, in front of the gate of Misty City.
"Second Young Master, be careful on the road." The embroidered captain said to Ji Fa gently as if she was his elder sister.
"Yes, Sister Xiu too. Be careful in Misty City." Ji Fa said with red eyes.
"If possible, please think of a way to ask the Misty City's Lord to release the Lord as well." Le Wei, who was released because he had to find a 'nanny' for Ji Fa, who was less than two and a half years old and had no experience in the Jianghu, sighed.
He probably felt ashamed and embarrassed to give such an important task to a woman.
"Don't worry, Le Wei. I will do my best to find a way to ask the Lord to release the Lord." The embroidered captain said seriously.
"Second Young Master, let's go." Le Wei bowed to the embroidered captain solemnly and said to Ji Fa.
"Yes, Uncle Le." Ji Fa nodded and said. He then looked up at the embroidered captain and said, "Sister Xiu, take care."
"Second Young Master too." The embroidered captain said.
Ji Fa and Le Wei did not stay any longer. They walked to the side of the Western Region's precious horses and got on the horses. They shook the reins and galloped away.
At the same time, in the Misty City's Lord's Mansion.
"Lord, Ji Fa has left." Zhu Que came to report.
"In that case, there's no need to keep those Xi Qi soldiers locked up. Arrange for them to be released later." Sei Itō said lightly.
"Yes." Zhu Que replied.
Then the light changed slightly and the ceremonial captain of the Marquis of Xi Bo's Six Lieutenants appeared in the room.
"Greetings, Lord Mayor." The ceremonial captain bowed respectfully. It was not hard to tell from his behavior and expression. He had been hypnotized by Sei Itō to change his consciousness and become his subordinate.
Seeing the ceremonial captain like this. Vermilion Bird's face revealed a hint of astonishment. It was very obvious. He was a little surprised by the captain's change in attitude, followed by disdain. After all, even in the future, people who betrayed their masters for glory would not be treated well by others, let alone in the Shang and Zhou Dynasties, where people valued honor and loyalty.
"I've decided to release the 5000 soldiers that came with the Marquis of the West. However, I still lack a leader, so I've decided to let you lead them back to Xi Qi." Sei Itō looked at the Li Wei and said.
"Yes," the captain replied.
Sei Itō continued, "I don't think I need to teach you what to say or do when you return to Xiqi, right?"
"I understand. I won't let you down. "The captain lowered his upper body even more. He replied respectfully.
Hearing the captain's reply, Sei Itō nodded slightly and stood up from the praying mat. Without seeing him do anything, another figure suddenly appeared in the room of the City Lord's Mansion.
It was a young man with white skin, red lips, and eyes like stars. He was wearing a blue robe. Even if he simply stood there without doing anything, people would involuntarily look at him. However, what shocked Zhu Que and the captain the most was that he looked exactly the same as Sei Itō! — It was Sei Itō's Shadow Clone!
"Ah!" Seeing this figure, the Vermillion Bird's face was full of astonishment as she let out a cry of alarm.
"This is my clone, one with my heart and two bodies. After I leave, he will be in charge of overseeing Misty City. If anything happens, he will be in charge. You can report to him. "Sei Itō pointed at the clone beside him.
"Oh, yes. Lord Mayor, "Zhu Que replied in a daze.
"Alright, you can go do your work." Sei Itō said indifferently.
"Yes," Zhu Que and the captain replied in unison. They turned around and left Sei Itō's room.
"I'll leave this to you." After the two left, Sei Itō turned his head and said to his clone.
"Alright." The shadow clone smiled.
Sei Itō also smiled when he heard the reply. He activated his spatial ability and disappeared from the room. He followed the spiritual imprints he left on Ji Fa and Le Wei and moved into the distance.
… …
Because they weren't imprisoned in Misty City for a long time like the original novel, Ji Fa and Le Wei didn't have to constantly gallop like Ji Fa and the white-haired tiger in the original novel. Instead, they were like ordinary passers-by who were rushing to get some rest.
Seven or eight days passed like this … …
"Dark clouds are gathering. It seems like a thunderstorm is coming." On this day, Le Wei, who was galloping on his horse, looked up at the dark sky with flashes of lightning from time to time. He then turned his head and reminded Ji Fa beside him, "Second Young Master, looking at the sky, this rain might be very fierce. The mountain roads are muddy. It's very dangerous to travel in the rain. Let's find a place to hide."
"Okay, we'll do as Uncle Le said." Ji Fa also looked up at the sky and nodded.
Then the two changed their route slightly and continued to gallop. Not long after, a mountain farmhouse surrounded by wood appeared in front of them.
"Haha, there's a house in the barren mountains. What good luck!" Ji Fa laughed when he saw the farmhouse.
"Our luck is indeed good. Second Young Master is indeed blessed by the heavens." A rare smile appeared on Le Wei's rigid face.
Not long after, the two rode their horses to the farmhouse.
Ji Fa and Le Wei dismounted from their horses. As they led their horses into the yard, they asked loudly, "Is anyone here?"
"Creak ~"
"Who is it?" Accompanied by a strange sound, a gray-haired old man with a hunched back walked out from the open door and asked.
"Elder, sorry to disturb you. We're just pedestrians. It's going to rain soon. I wonder if we can take shelter here?" Le Wei went up and cupped his fist and asked politely.
"Oh, sure, sure. The mountain roads are slippery. It's indeed not suitable to travel in the rain. Come in quickly." The old man nodded and said.
"Thank you so much." Le Wei thanked him. Ji Fa also quickly cupped his fist and bowed to the old man to express his gratitude. Then, the two led their horses to the side and tied the ropes. They entered the house together with the old man.
Almost immediately after they entered the house, there was an explosive "Kacha" sound. The heavy rain poured down like a heavenly waterfall.
"Rustle rustle rustle …" The sound of raindrops hitting the ground was heard.
However, at this moment, a black shadow flashed on a huge rock not far from the farmhouse. Sei Itō's figure suddenly appeared on top of the rock. He didn't do anything, but the rain that fell from the sky seemed to have a consciousness. It couldn't bear to rain on him and spontaneously flew three inches above his head. It drew an arc and landed on the ground around him. It made him look sacred.
"Sure enough, he's the lucky one. Even if I intervene, I will still meet him." Sei Itō whispered to himself as he looked at the lights in the farmhouse not far away.
"But this is good. It saves me the trouble of figuring out his whereabouts."
After that, Sei Itō's figure flashed again and disappeared in the torrential rain.
The heavy rain continued for a long time. It didn't stop until it was almost midnight. The dark clouds dispersed and the crescent moon was revealed again.
But at this moment. Accompanied by a slight whistling sound, a short dark figure dashed out of the mountain as fast as an arrow leaving the bow. He jumped up and down a few times and landed in the courtyard of the farmhouse. It was also at this time. Only then did his true appearance completely reveal itself.
The dark figure was very small, about the size of a seven or eight-year-old child, but his skin was green. His bones were tightly wrapped, and the ribs on his chest were clearly visible. It was unknown whether he was malnourished or hungry, or he was born this way. However, there were some muscles on his legs and arms, so he wasn't as weak as he looked. Green eyebrows, green hair, red eyes, and sharp ears. Coupled with the protruding rooster beak, he really looked no different from the monsters in the legends.
The newcomer didn't stop. Very familiar with the place, he dashed straight into the pigsty where the old couple kept pigs. His small arms reached out and grabbed a fat pig that was about the same size as him, or even bigger than him, and pressed it to the ground.
"Ow!" The fat pig let out a sharp howl in pain.
However, the green-skinned man was already used to the sound of pigs. He also knew that the old couple was not a threat, so he didn't panic. Instead, he started to cook the fat pig in his hands.
"Silly boy, why aren't you running? Are you waiting to be caught?" However, just as he was about to kill the pig to eat, a mocking voice suddenly rang in his ears.
The green-skinned man was shocked. He quickly let go of the fat pig in his hands and jumped to the side like lightning. He happened to see Ji Fa and Le Wei who had rushed out of the house after hearing the noise.
"Caw!" At this moment, the green-skinned man's expression turned fierce. He suddenly let out a strange cry that sounded like a crow's caw. He opened his mouth and pounced toward Ji Fa.
"Second Young Master, be careful!" Le Wei hurriedly reminded when he saw this.
"Haha, little monster, you actually have the guts to attack me. Don't be impatient!" Ji Fa's expression didn't change. Instead, his expression was filled with eagerness as he spoke loudly. Then, he reached out his hands and accurately grabbed the green-skinned man's claws. He exerted strength in his arms and slammed the green-skinned man to the ground.
"First, I'll prostrate myself in front of you!"
"Bang!"
"Caw!" The green-skinned man cried out in pain. However, in the next moment, a large amount of bright yellow electric light bloomed from the green-skinned man's body. It quickly climbed up Ji Fa's body and launched a violent electric shock on Ji Fa who couldn't defend himself in time.
"Ahhhhh …" Ji Fa involuntarily cried out in pain.
"Monster, let go of Second Young Master!"
Le Wei who saw the sudden change in the situation was shocked. He hurriedly leaped to the green-skinned man's side and thrust the copper flute in his hand forward, stabbing it at the green-skinned man.
The green-skinned man who had already sensed that these two guys weren't easy to deal with did not dare to take it head-on. He quickly let go of Ji Fa who was numb from the electric shock and jumped away, dodging Le Wei's attack. Then, he jumped out of the farmhouse without looking back.
"Aiyo, it really is a monster!" Ji Fa cried out in pain.
"Second Young Master, are you alright?" Le Wei who was worried about Ji Fa didn't chase after him. Instead, he hurriedly went to Ji Fa's side and asked with concern.
"I'm fine. However, I'm going to teach that monster a lesson!" Ji Fa stood up and said after circulating his inner power and instantly dispelled the electric shock. Then, without waiting for Le Wei's reply, he used his qinggong to chase after the green-skinned man.
"Second Young Master!" Le Wei cried out in shock. Then, he didn't dare to hesitate and hurriedly chased after him.
However, no matter how fast the two of them chased, they couldn't find any trace of the green-skinned man. It was as if the green-skinned man had disappeared into thin air.
"Hmph, damn it!" After chasing for a while, Ji Fa who still couldn't find any trace of the monster could only give up helplessly in the end. He stopped in his tracks and said hatefully.
"Second Young Master, let's go back." Le Wei who had chased after him heaved a sigh of relief and said.
"Okay, Uncle Le." Ji Fa said helplessly.
Then, together with Le Wei, he used his qinggong to return to the farmhouse they were staying at.
"Is this considered atavism …" At the top of the mountain, Sei Itō who was observing the green-skinned man who had fainted in his hands, who was also this world's Lei Zhenzi, clicked his tongue and said.
"It seems like the humans in this world are just like the legends say. They are the product of the union of immortals and monsters. Otherwise, how could the Green Hair Ancestor and the woman he had forcefully taken give birth to such a strange species when they were both humans?"
Then, with a thought, he threw Lei Zhenzi into the Rubik's Cube world.
"Next is Jiang Ziya, the jade knife in his hands, and the Book of Luo …" Sei Itō muttered to himself as he looked up at the starry night sky.
On the morning of the second day, Ji Fa and Le Wei bid farewell to the old man and his wife and continued to ride their horses in the direction of Zhaoge. Naturally, Sei Itō continued to follow behind the two of them, following the direction they were heading in.
After traveling for about a hundred miles, Sei Itō stopped and used his spiritual eye to observe the surrounding wind and clouds. He thought to himself, "It should be around here."
Indeed, not long after, a pillar of air shot up into the sky and entered Sei Itō's eyes.
"There!"
Then, Sei Itō's figure flashed and disappeared from the spot.
"Hmm?" At the same time, Jiang Ziya who was fishing by the river frowned and raised his hand to silently calculate. "Strange, I can't calculate it? Could it be referring to immortals? "
With Jiang Ziya's current cultivation realm and skills, there was almost no existence in the world that he could not calculate. Even if it was someone who was also proficient in the art of divination, he could not do so. The only thing he could not calculate was immortals. He did not know if he could succeed, so he made such a guess.
"What are you calculating?" Just as Jiang Ziya was puzzled and did not know what the tide just now meant, an unfamiliar voice suddenly sounded in his ears.
Jiang Ziya was shocked and turned his head to look at the person who spoke.
"What a handsome young master."
The person who spoke was Sei Itō.
Jiang Ziya's gaze circled around Sei Itō's face twice and did not answer the question, "Young master has a good face."
