Chapter 19: CHAPTER NINETEEN

Hai Wangzi and Hei Guafu flinched hearing a scream echo within the cave. They got to their feet and went toward the white clothed covered pit.

"Do you think he'll be okay?" Wangzi asks. Guafu shrugged.

"Do you forget how that pit works? First it shows you your worst nightmare, then it shows your desires and the last stage is your fear"

Wangzi nodded. Zixin must be going through his fear by now, he sighs.

"I wish we could help him, should I send Cihuai to take a look?" He suggests. Guafu shrugged again.

"Sure but Huli shouldn't know, you know how she is"

Wangzi nodded and opened his palm. He nicks his left forefinger with his teeth, uses the blood to write a spell formation on his palm. A bright green locust appeared. It crawled up Wangzi's arm and nuzzled his cheek making him smile.

"Be my eyes, show me where Wei Zixin is" he whispers. The locust jumped into the cave.

"Let's go outside to avoid suspicion" Guafu says. The two men sit outside sharing warm wine. Wangzi's left eye glowed green as he saw what the locust sees.

"I found him. He's on the floor, asleep"

"Then he must be dreaming about the events. How does he look?"

"He looks the same, no change at all"

Guafu scoffed. When he was in that pit, his hair got longer and the colour changed, that's why he has red tips. Wangzi on the other hand had changed the most, the man was once short with a bald head and now he was tall, buff with blue and black hair.

"Let's hope he changes otherwise he'll be in there for who knows how long"

═════ ♢.✰.♢ ═════

"Did you find anything?" Jiang Ji asks his brother. Xin Ai showed him a lock of hair he had found.

"The person lost some hair when they ran away, it doesn't smell familiar though"

Even the colour was unfamiliar. The strands were a lighter brown and Zhang Wei had dark brown hair even Shao Wen. Chang Pei took the locks and exmained them.

"These belong to a female, there's a hint of cocoa which means she's not from here"

Jiang Ji nodded.

"Let's focus on finding Lan Fei now"

Just as he said that someone came running to them,

"Wait for me!"

They looked and it was Lan Fei, he was covered in mud and dirt.

"What happened to you?" Hua Ling asks as he cleaned him up using the sleeves of his robe. Lan Fei sighed.

"When the statue dropped into that tunnel something grabbed me by the collar and i was sent out. Then i saw Jiang Qiang and his brother but I was knocked out before I could call for help. I woke up in a rice farm"

Xin Ai couldn't help but laugh. Seeing Lan Fei like this was comical.

"Let's head back then. Lan Fei, we will use the mind reading spell once we return" Jiang Ji says and walks forward.

Hua Ling gave his friend a sympathetic smile. That spell was a double edged sword, they'll have to go through Lan Fei's memories since morning.

"Let's hope you have nothing to hide in your memories"

═════ ♢.✰.♢ ═════

Blood splattered on his face once he had killed the walking corpse with a brick. The heavy smell of the body's fermented blood made him nauseous.

WAH! He threw up next to the decaying corpse. He wipes his mouth and stands up.

"WHAT IS HAPPENING?!"

Birds flew away hearing his screams. Zixin dropped to his knees, tears trickling down his face, he sniffles.

"I just want to go home"

"You can"

His head whips around as he heard a voice in the distance. He gets up.

"Who's there?"

The tree leaves rattle with the wind and the atmosphere changes into night. The wind was cold. A heavy scent of heavy musk filled his nose making him freeze in place. That smell was the scent of a black mamba!

Up ahead he sees two glassys eyes in the grass. A long red forked tongue pokes up once in a while making him shudder.

"What do you want?"

The snake seemed to have scoffed.

"You're supposed to be the snake king? You look weak and pathetic"

"So what? You're supposed to obey me"

"Hahahaha" the snake laughed, taunting him.

"You? My king? Humph, you're not even capable of defeating me"

Wei Zixin stood his ground.

"That may be true....but I'll die trying"

═════ ♢.✰.♢ ═════

"Lay down and relax. Let the smell of incense calm your mind"

Lan Fei did as told, the thick smell of burning incense made his body relax as if he was in a tub of warm water.

Jiang Ji placed incense sticks around the bed, Xin Ai and Hua Ling who were watching from the door seemed to be intrigued by this spell.

Jiang Ji sat down and turned to Xin Ai.

"Come join me"

Xin Ai was taken aback. Usually he dealt with fights and wars while his brother cultivated in seclusion so hearing this shocked him.

He sits next to his brother. His guqin appears after a rumble of lightning. They start to play the spell notes.

They watch the incense smoke form a screen, pictures start to appear. All they could see was Hua Ling.

The said boy frowned seeing this. Was Lan Fei keeping an eye on him?

"Let's skip ahead" Xin Ai says, his brother nodded. They play the spell faster.

They see the statue start to appear. Just like Lan Fei said, someone pulled him by the collar. It seems Lan Fei saw the person before he got knocked out. The person was wearing a blue robe with a mask covering their face. Then the screen disappears.

Jiang Ji received a slap from the Zheng as one of it's strings snapped.  Blood slowly flowed from the cut.

"That person must be powerful to turn the spell against me"

═════ ♢.✰.♢ ═════

"I'LL KILL YOU!"

He ran towards the snake hidden in the grass. He tumbles down as he tripped over a log. But that log moved, this was no log. It was the body of the snake!

"Hahaha, I'm going to enjoy eating you" the snake hissed. Zixin felt his eyes shrink, he grabs a thick stick making the snake laugh even more.

"A stick? Really? Don't make me lau-"

WACK!

The snake slithered back. Zixin had just hit the snake on the head with a stick.

"Stupid human, I'll kill y-oof!"

He had hit it again. Zixin saw red. All he wanted now was to go home. He doesn't know what this place is but he knows he'll escape.

"I just want to go home" he says hitting the snake again. It landed with a thud on it's back, tongue out of it's mouth.

Zixin walked to it's face. The stick in his hand now snapped in half. The mamba yeiled in defeat.

"You're truly worthy of being a king, your highness"

He sticks the other half of the stick into the snake's eye and watch it writhe and scream in agony until it all ended in silence, it had died.

He takes a deep breath. Pulls the fan out of his sleeve and draws two lines on the white paper with the snake blood. He raises it to the sky.

"I AM THE SNAKE KING! ALL THE SNAKES IN WORLD NOW OBEY ME!!!"

Thunder rumbled in the distance. The white and red lights flashing down on him. It started to rain heavily and Zixin stood there enjoying the cold bath.

"I'm coming home"

Chapter 20: CHAPTER TWENTY

Wangzi gasped at what he saw. Guafu looked at him.

"Is he okay?"

"He....he's awake"

What?! Guafu looked at him, eyes wide in shock and disbelief.

"Are you sure?"

He nodded. Zixin didn't even complete a full day in that pit!

"How....how can this be?"

Just then the locust comes running towards him, it looked like it was scared. Wangzi had to coddle it for a moment until it calmed down.

Guafu was also shocked. Could it be that Zixin was as powerful as Huli said?

A powerful aura filled the cave making the two men shudder and be on alert. They watch the covered pit.

"He's coming" Wangzi whispers.

A gentle breeze blows the white cloth and a stand comes out. It was muddy and dirty. Then someone crawled out.

Zixin coughed a few times before taking in the fresh air. He staggers to his feet and looks ahead, he could see Guafu and Wangzi looking at him.

"Hey guys"

The two were dumbfounded. Hey guys? That's all he could say?!

"Zixin.....how are you feeling?" Wangzi asks wearily.

He shrugged. After the whole thing he realized it was all a dream.

"I'm fine just a little tired"

═════ ♢.✰.♢ ═════

"Why was your memory filled with me?"

Lan Fei choked on his food. It's dinner time at ZhangShi sect and Hua Ling was with his friend at a small restaurant in the main city.

"They were? Maybe it's because we talk alot"

Hua Ling sighed. Lan Fei couldn't even look at him.

"Could it be that...you-"

"Never mind that Hua Ling. Let's just eat and go back to help the young masters" Lan Fei interrupts.

He sighed again. Clearly his friend was hiding something. But he'll leave it alone...for now.

═════ ♢.✰.♢ ═════

Jiang Ji shuddered as he looked outside the balcony. Something was out there, he couldn't tell if it was evil or not.

"Big brother....are you okay?"

He turns around and sees Xin Ai at the door. He smiles.

"Sure, do you want to play a game of chess?"

They sit down and Jiang Ji restarts the board. Xin Ai sighs.

"The boy you mentioned, what trouble is he in?"

"He...he was pulled into a lake by a snake"

"What? Shouldn't that be your first priority? What if-"

"He's fine....once i solve this case I'll go back for him"

The young general sighs.

"What if he leaves? What will you do then?"

He never thought of that...

"I'll let him be"

"Just like that?"

"Just like that"

═════ ♢.✰.♢ ═════

Huli arrived at the cave with some wild Guinea hens she had caught during her hunt. That's what she did to pass the time during the day.

"Zixin is out already?" She asks once she sees the boy across the cave looking at the fire. Guafu nods and gives her a report.

Once he was done, she was shocked. Zixin was really special.

"Wei Zixin, are you hungry"

He shook his head. There's only one thing in his mind right now,

"I want to go home"

She sighed.

"Are you sure?"

"YES I WANT TO GO HOME!"

everyone gasped when his eyes turned silver for a moment. The fox nodded quickly.

"Okay, I'll help you out"

Wangzi and Guafu were dumbfounded. Zixin was going to leave? Just like that?

"Huli....are you really letting him go?"

"Yes. He needs to be calm otherwise his powers might overtake him. I'm letting him leave"

They watched the two of them walk out the cave without a word. Huli gave Zixin the fan he wanted to take the other day.

"Take this....it's not a mystical weapen but I'm sure you'll make it into one"

He nods and watches her raise her hand. The water above them parts making way for Him. He looks at her.

"Is this real?"

She chuckles and nods.

"It's real, you're free"

He crawls his way out, he finds himself on the surface of the murky water so he swims to the land. Once his feet touch the ground he yells,

"JIANG JI!!!"

═════ ♢.✰.♢ ═════

"I can't believe you let him go like that"

Huli sighed as she sat down. She rubs her temples.

"Let him be, he didn't want to be here in the first place. We should move on with our plan. Wangzi the rainy season is over, time to let your locust feed on the weeds"

"I'll be on it first thing tomorrow"

"Guafu, send one of your spiders to Li Shizu sect. I heard some commotion there, make sure everything is undisturbed there"

"On it"

Once they disperse she thinks about Zixin. What could've the boy seen that made him come out of that pit that quickly?

"Zixin...goodluck on your quest"

═════ ♢.✰.♢ ═════

"Did you hear that?"

Xin Ai frowned.

"No...why?"

Jiang Ji could've sworn someone called out his name. He stands up and walks over to the balcony. His eyes meet the thick forest.

"Could it be....Zixin?"

"Is he the boy you met? Let's go have a look"

They grab their swords and tear through the sky heading to the lake. Jiang Ji could feel his heart flutter just at the thought of meeting Zixin again.

Down below they see a figure walk through the forest. Jiang Ji could immediately tell who it was.

"Wei Zixin!"

Zixin froze. Was he starting to hear voices?

"Zixin"

He turns around and sees Jiang Ji landing on his feet. Their eyes lock for a moment and Zixin feels a lump form on his throat.

The last time they had seen each other was over a stupid kiss but now....that didn't matter right?

Xin Ai watches his brother embrace Zixin tightly. He could immediately tell that the two cared for each other. He smiles and clears his throat.

"Okay love birds, let's head back before we bump into ghosts or something"
