After listening to Grandpa Taizu's words, I finally understood the truth about the three taboos. This was originally a thing that had made great contributions to the overthrow of other Hades. After the Chief Executive took power, it was listed as a taboo. The Ghost King did this again to restore the other nine Hades. How could the Chief Executive not be afraid? But Mei Ruoqi should be a confidant of the Chief Executive, so why did he rebel against him
Then my great grandfather solved this doubt for me. He continued, "Your Mei family was so glorious in the past. If it weren't for the Yin Gu technique of the Mei family, the three taboos alone would not have been able to overthrow the nine Hades. It can be said that you have made outstanding contributions. However, the founding heroes all have a bad ending. The ancestor of the Mei family was killed and sent to the hell. Isn't this the justice that your Mei family has always wanted
"The Cao family was the same as your Mei family. The ancestor also went to the underworld, and all the ghosts who knew the secret were killed. No one was left alive. From then on, no matter the ghosts in the underworld or the good and evil in the human world, they knew nothing about this shocking secret. Later, after the Ghost King learned everything in the Death Valley, he re-created the three major taboos, not only to make the nine Hades come back, but also to turn the world into hell!"
It turns out that the ancestor of the Mei family was silenced by the Chief Executive. No wonder Mei Ruoqi wanted to connect the seven tombs to lure out the devil of hell. She wanted to know the truth and what disaster happened to the Mei family. She has been living in Death Valley since her death. She must have gotten everything she wanted from there, so she continued the ghost king's career and subverted the power of the Chief Executive.
Alas, this kind of power struggle is an indispensable and important part of history. In the Xuanwu Gate Incident, Li Shimin killed his brothers before he ascended the throne. Compared with him, the Chief Executive is not too cruel. Don't you think Li Shimin is a wise ruler? The struggle for power did not affect his wise political mind. In fact, after the Chief Executive took control of the underworld, he did not do anything outrageous and evil, and he could be considered a good leader.
But when it comes to the three major taboos, he loses his composure, and is led by the nose by Mei Ruoqi and his gang of evil spirits, pretending to obey but secretly disobeying, and being kept in the dark. It's not his fault. After defeating nine opponents, how can he not worry about their comeback? He doesn't want to let the loyal ministers like Judge Cui know about this. If he relies on his own judgment, there will always be deviations. It would be strange if he is not deceived.
Grandpa Taizu knew this secret a long time ago, but he never told his descendants. I can understand his thoughts. This is for the good of the Xi family and the entire world. Whether it is the Ten Hades or an executive officer, they cannot withstand the chaos, which will only harm innocent people. As long as the executive officer can still govern the underworld as it is now, why must he make the secret public and cause chaos
Mei Ruoqi said coldly: "What's the point of knowing more? Even if you say this in front of the nine Hades, will it make the world know? Who are you loyal to? Who do you want to be in charge of the underworld?"
Grandfather Taizu said sternly: "As long as the underworld is not in chaos and the world is not turned into hell, I will be loyal to anyone."
Mei Ruoqi snorted coldly and said, "Then you are determined not to change, just wait to be executed by the Chief Executive!"
"It is better to die for justice than to bring disaster to the world. However, today, we, the two of us, will enforce justice on the behalf of heaven and eliminate this scourge of yours!" said Grandpa Taizu as he was about to step over the threshold.
I was so scared that I quickly pulled him back. I was so absorbed in listening that I forgot to drop the tears from my eyeball on the door sill. Now the tears had dried up, so I had to poke my own eyeball again. After I dropped a tear on the door sill, I covered one eye and said to my great grandfather, "You can go in now!"
When Mei Ruoqi saw my action, a trace of surprise flashed across his face. He obviously didn't expect that I knew how to break the universe. He slowly stood up from the futon, his eyes full of vigilance.
I followed my great grandfather and crossed the threshold safely. Nothing happened, and I finally felt relieved. Now I was in a good mood to take a closer look at the situation inside. The temple was empty. Except for the cushion where Mei Ruoqi had sat cross-legged, there was nothing. There were only a lot of murals on the wall, recording the deeds of the ten Hades who jointly governed and discussed affairs.
I was very surprised. This is the underworld temple. It is not as magnificent as the Cao Clan Ancestral Hall. Why is there nothing inside? At least there should be a tablet for the nine Hades, right? Damn it, there is no tablet, so there is no need to worry about the conflict between metal and wood. If the ancestors are not alarmed, the fire overcoming metal will not be so strong. Moreover, the door is wide open, and there is a hidden principle that the wind will blow out the fire. This is a bit bad!
Sure enough, Mei Ruoqi laughed ferociously, and with a clang, a dazzling sword appeared in her right hand!
My great-grandfather and I both changed our expressions. This was the authentic Ghost-Slaying Sword. We had seen it at the Niliwan Wharf before. The only difference was the sword tassel, but this was the real deal and we would not cheat anyone.
"You little bastard, why is there no memorial tablet in the temple?" Grandpa Taizu glared at me unhappily.
I sniffed, feeling quite ashamed, but the secret manual didn't say that there were no spirit tablets in the temple, how could I know that. Facing the Sword of Slaying Ghosts, both my father and I were at a loss. Grandfather Taizu's Qi Turtle Wave and Yang Turtle Wave were useless in front of the Sword of Slaying Ghosts. It was guaranteed that both of us would vanish into thin air.
"Prepare to die!" Mei Ruoqi laughed triumphantly and flew towards us with a sword in hand.
A huge and burning force surged towards me, a force that no ghost could resist. I closed my eyes and said to myself, Shen Bing, we are goodbye forever. I am sorry for you, sorry for everyone, sorry for my great grandfather, sorry for my mother, and sorry for the people of the country...
As I was leaving my last words in my mind, the power suddenly disappeared as if it touched my body. I opened my eyes and saw Mei Ruoqi floating in the air with the Devil Slaying Sword. He gritted his teeth and used all his strength, but he couldn't move forward. The light on the sword also dimmed a lot, just like an ordinary green steel sword.
Looking at Grandpa Taizu again, he stretched out his right hand in front of him, with a red bead in his palm, emitting a frightening blood-red light. It seemed that this bead blocked the Demon Slayer Sword and prevented Mei Ruoqi from moving forward half an inch in the air.
"Grandpa Taizu, what treasure is this? Why didn't you tell me earlier that you had such a treasure? You made me worry for so long." I rubbed my chest and complained.
“You little brat, these are the blood and tears of the nine Hades and Judge Zhong Kui. I just got them. If they contain the blood and tears of Judge Zhong Kui, the Ghost Slaying Sword will become useless!”
I was stunned: "Where did you get it? I closed my eyes just now and didn't see it."
