Chapter 19 I will Accompany You

Ji Chujiu looked at the dead people who died around him, his eyes fixed on his master. He looked at his sword, it was stained with blood.

One of the men pointed his word to Ji Chujiu and shouted angrily, "You, ungrateful student, joined the Demon Clan and killed your master."

Ji Chujiu, "I didn't kill my shifu."

Another person shouted at him, "Look at your sword."

Ji Chujiu turned to Zan Huangming and asked, "Did you use music to order me to kill?"

Zan Huangming replied, "Yes."

Ji Chujiu grabbed Zan Huangming's hand, "Are you out of your mind?"

Zan Huangming pulled away his hand, "No, my thinking is as clear as always." He looked at the people in the arena. "These people." He pointed at them. "Are liars who claimed to be righteous, but the skin on their face is nothing but a thin layer of masks. Their so-called Sunset campaign killed everyone that I know. I just did what they did to Sunset Sector."

Ji Chujiu raised his voice, "By using me and falsely befriended me?"

Zan Huangming, "I made friends with you because of our love for music."

Ji Chujiu, "I always thought you are my confidant."

Zan Huangming walked to Ji Chujiu's side, "I'm still am." He turned to face everyone. "Whoever wants to hurt Chujiu you need to think twice. If you dare strike, I'm going to kill you all." He felt sharp pain on the back of his Achilles tendons. He fell in Ji Chujiu's arm. He looked at Ji Chujui painfully. "You…why?"

Ji Chujiu, "Huangming, you are a very important person to me. I don't want to see you hold on to so much hatred. Only in this way can I protect you and not be ashamed of my actions because now you are a disable man." He stroke Huangming's face. "Don't be afraid, I will always be with you." He picked Zan Huangming, and the two men flew away.

Zan Huangming shouted angrily, "Release the arrows."

Zan Huangming and Ji Chujiu hid in the cave for seven days. Within seven days, Zan Huangming did not speak to Ji Chujiu at all.

On the eighth day, Zan Huangming looked at Ji Chujiu and said, "I want some wine. Go get me some wine."

Ji Chujiu, "You stay here, I will buy you some."

Zan Huangming, "You don't need to ask me to stay here. You have cut my tendons, and I can't go anywhere even if I want to."

Ji Chujiu felt hurt when he heard Zan Huangming's words. He picked Zan Huangming and leaned him against the cave wall. He said, "I will be back."

Ji Chujiu walked to the village and sat at a table waiting for his food and wine. He heard two martial artists sitting at the other table talking.

Man one, "That rebellious bastard Ji Chujiu. He killed his shifu, the man who raised him since he was a child."

Man two, "I heard that Zan Huangming bewitched him." He laughed. "Who would have thought that Ji Chujiu would fall in love with a man?"

Mam one, "Do you see how passionate they were at Shaolin? They hugged each other and were willing to die for each other."

Man two laughed and said, "Perhaps Zan Huangming is better than any woman in bed."

The two smiled and continued to gossip.

Ji Chujiu grabbed his food and wine and walked back. He knew these people didn't understand. The love between Zhan Huangming and him is beyond those people's understanding.

Back in the cave, he saw that Zan Huangming was still leaning against the wall, but he found that Zan Huangming's lips were slightly purple. He rushed to Zan Huangming's side.

Ji Chujiu passed his internal energy into Zan Huangming. After a while, Zan Huangming opened his eyes.

Zan Huangming said, "Chujiu, don't waste your energy anymore."

Ji Chujiu, "What did you do?"

Zan Huangming smiled and said, "I took some poison while you were away." He looked at Ji Chujiu. "I'm sorry to put you in this situation. I know that the Sunset Sector was extinct a few years ago. I never intended to involve you in my revenge."

Ji Chujiu, "I am not angry with you."

Zan Huangming said, "After I died, you cut off my head and walked back to your sector. Tell them that you killed me to avenge your shifu. Those so-called martial artists will forgive you. You can go back to where you used to be." He laughed. "My one regret is my time with you is too short. In the end, I only regret not seizing the opportunity, the relationship I am afraid of having, and I waited too long to made the decision."

Ji Chujiu smiled and said, "I don't regret anything. I don't regret knowing you. For you, who is my soulmate."

Zan Huangming quoted with tears, "

I'm going to try to speak the word that my heart wants you to know

I want to see your face reaction when the music began to roll.

Nobody else understand my thoughts and touch my soul like you can

No one can melt my heart like you do simply by plucking those sliver strings."

Ji Chujiu sat beside Zan Huangming, and held him in his arm. He wiped away the tears from the corner of Zan Huangming's eyes and he quoted, "

I spent my days wandering and waiting for you

As we travel down the path to the unknown, I toast to you

Let us stop often on this unknown path and plucking ours strings

To accompany lonely souls who travel without their soulmate."

Zan Huangming stretched out his hand to take out a pill from his belt and put it in Ji Chujiu's hand. He smiled and said, "Let us accompany the lonely soul together."

Zan Huangming died in the arms of Ji Chujiu. He took the pill and put Zan Huangming's head on his thigh. His left hand held Zan Huangming's right hand. He lowered his head and kissed Zan Huangming's forehead. He smiled and said, "In life we accompany each other, in death there will be no difference."

Kuo Ju, "They are not martial arts masters, but two music lovers who make friends with music and poetry." She looked at Ma Jingguo. "If you going to spend your days mourning for Mu Dishi, it's better to take advantage of this time to improve your skills by shifting your thoughts to something else. Jinfeng Sector has the original Devil Fist manual."

Ma Jingguo, "Shimu wants me to practice the Devil Fist?"

Kuo Ju, "Yes."

Ma Jingguo, "Why?"

Kuo Ju said, "First, you will be able to protect Jinfeng Sector. Secondly, if Mu Dishi somehow achieve death like you said, he will not use Killer Strings on you."

Ma Jingguo, "Shimu, I am willing."

Kuo Ju, "Very well, come with me."

Ma Jingguo followed Kuo Ju to the back seclusion hill. Ma Jingguo knows that his skills are not good, so this is a great opportunity for him to improve his skills. He believed that when he walked out of seclusion, he would be a different person. After he completes the 'Devil Fist Manual', he will be able to stand equal to Mu Dishi. He would to get Mu Dishi, take Mu Dishi back to be his and locked Mu Dishi away.
