Grandpa Taizu said that the real predecessor of the Hell Flower King was the King of Hell. This matter probably dates back to ancient times. The Gate of Hell was not groundless. The Hell Flower King was in charge of Hell because of the immortal energy of Kunlun Mountain. At that time, there was no concept of the underworld. The underworld and Hell were collectively called Hell.
Later, the Flower King of Hell committed a crime, and the Ten Kings of Hell replaced him. But this is all legend, and no one knows the inside story. Just like the history of every dynasty, who can tell the truth from the false? What the historian says is what it is. Later, the Ten Kings of Hell did something, and only the current Chief Executive was left.
It is said that the real reason why the underworld was alarmed by this incident was that the chief executive was afraid that if the flower king walked out of the pond, the underworld would also become hell. So he summoned various ghost messengers to deal with the urgent situation.
I interrupted him and asked, "How can a ghost with a hood like Li Kui help the King of Flowers? Why is the underworld afraid of him? The Chief Executive is really crazy."
Grandfather Taizu said that one should not underestimate Hu Dawei, because he was a rough but meticulous person. Many of the wild ghosts under his command were magicians in their previous lives and had all kinds of tricks. The Chief Executive was afraid because of this, but the Death Valley was a blind spot in the underworld and he could not enter. So a ghost messenger gave the Chief Executive a suggestion to recruit Hu Dawei.
The Chief Executive heard that this was a good idea, so he discussed with Hu Dawei at the entrance of Death Valley, promising to give him an official position if he was willing to come to the underworld. Hu Dawei was like Sun Wukong, unwilling to be a small official and wanted to be the King of Ghosts, and the Chief Executive agreed to this request. The boy went to the underworld happily, but later found out that Bi Ma Wen actually did the same job as the Monkey King, one was in charge of horses, and the other was in charge of peach gardens. He, the King of Ghosts, sounded like the leader of the ten great Yin Marshals, but in fact, his real power was not as great as that of the Seventh and Eighth Lords.
Later, in a rage, he went to Mangshan to raise ghost soldiers and wanted to form his own team. According to the strategy of the wild ghosts in the Death Valley at that time, he found the ghost city under Guiyin Mountain. At that time, the evil disciples happened to be hiding there, and they were all recruited by the Ghost King. He took out the black wooden plate and the sky lantern from the soul-illuminating well. The original purpose of these two treasures was to help the Flower King out of trouble. However, the Ghost King's actions were seen through by the Chief Executive, who sent him to Mangshan to suppress the mountain ghosts and prevented him from leaving the jurisdiction.
As soon as he left, the evil sorcerers scattered like monkeys when the tree fell, and all ran out of the ghost city. Originally, the black wooden plate was made by the disciples of the Life and Death Sect, but they had few disciples and could not defeat the Five Ghost Sect, so they took it away. Before the Ghost King left, he left them a mantra to help the Flower King out of trouble.
It goes like this: "The twelve celestial maidens light the sky lanterns, Ding Wu Mao Liu travels through the water. Even if there are thousands of evils in the underworld, the Flower King has millions of soldiers!"
This is the secret of the three taboos. The twelve celestial maidens illuminate the sky lanterns, which can make Ding Wumao Liu have supreme power and go down to the pool to rescue the flower king. No matter how powerful the underworld is, if the flower king returns and raises his arms to help millions of wild ghosts, the underworld will be vulnerable.
After hearing this, I vaguely understood what the three taboos were all about. This was a power struggle. Although the Flower King of Hell was not a good guy, the Chief Executive was also afraid of losing the power of the King of the Underworld. The Chief Executive made a wrong step at the beginning. He should not have recruited the Ghost King, which led to this grandson harming so many people. Zhang Hanxue, the Evil of Yingyue, was one of them, and all the people who died for the three taboos, of course, the most wronged one was Xiaoxue.
