My dad said that their days in Death Valley were relatively leisurely. The leader of the ghosts in Death Valley was a Red Guard when he was alive. He didn't care about anything except getting everyone together to recite Chairman Mao's quotations. There was also a leader who was responsible for receiving ghosts. New souls were placed together and were not allowed to move around. After three to five months, they were free and could wander around the valley at will. No matter what, they were confined to the valley and no one could step out of Death Valley.
Since a female ghost named Mei Ruoqi came here and took over the position of leader, their idle life ended. Every night they gathered together to practice ghost arts. Because my father had a Taoist foundation in his life, he learned ghost arts quickly and thoroughly. Not long after, he stood out and was appreciated by Mei Ruoqi, who promoted him to be a small leader. But later, it was found that he was the heir of the Xi family's ghost affairs, so he was immediately dismissed and sent to the valley entrance as a sentry, and he was often humiliated in public.
He had no idea what hatred he had with the female ghost named Mei, nor did he know where she came from. He was ostracized and suppressed for no apparent reason, and was very depressed for a while.
I smiled and said, "She is the descendant of the Mei family in western Hunan."
Dad immediately understood what was going on and nodded, "No wonder, the Mei family was wiped out by your grandfather, and they have an irreconcilable feud with our Xi family. It's not surprising that she is doing this to me."
I thought to myself that not only that, but she was killed by your son. She was lucky that she didn't break up your soul. But I didn't dare to say it again, for fear that my father would think I was showing off again and scold me again. But I thought about why Mei Ruoqi didn't kill my father? It is said that she has a deep hatred for our Xi family, so how can she tolerate my father? She doesn't have such a big heart, but her breasts are quite big.
My father's next words helped me solve this puzzle. It turned out that there was more than one leader in Death Valley, and the power was balanced. Although she was the leader, she was not the only one. One of the leaders was personally planted in Death Valley by the Chief Executive to monitor the actions of other leaders. If they killed innocent people indiscriminately, they would be reported. That is, killing ghosts indiscriminately and eliminating dissidents would be a bad behavior and would be punished by the Chief Executive.
But the leader didn't care about being forced into the Death Valley. Every year, many ghosts were scattered when they tried to escape from the valley. The Nanshan Yin-Yang people set up a "killing wind trap" on all sides of the valley and at the entrance of the valley. Any ghost who entered or left without a token would die. Later, when the leader left the Death Valley, Mei Ruoqi became cruel and eliminated many dissidents. She even killed the leader who collected ghosts and replaced them with her confidants. For a while, the entire Death Valley became her world.
My father was often pulled out, beaten and tortured, and lived a very miserable life. Boss Gu was not much better. The two were often tortured together, and sometimes they wanted to commit suicide. Fortunately, after a period of time, Mei Ruoqi suddenly left Death Valley, which put an end to their life worse than death. However, the Skeleton Evil entered Death Valley and killed a large number of ghosts, making these ghost soldiers feel insecure and trying to escape.
He and Boss Gu studied the killing wind bureau for three years and finally found a flaw. No matter how powerful the Feng Shui bureau is, it is inseparable from the scope of Yin Yang Bagua and Qimen Dunjia. He and Boss Gu are experts. With the help of the brothers of Maoshan Tongjue, they put ghost stakes at the three gates of death, rest and injury, opened a passage in the Feng Shui bureau, and escaped with Boss Gu. As a result, they were chased by the ghost soldiers. My father stayed behind and sent Boss Gu out at the risk of his life, and he was caught and brought back.
Originally, he was to be executed, but now the Skeleton Evil was going crazy and killing ghost soldiers everywhere. My dad was considered the best among the ghost soldiers in terms of ghost skills, so he was favored by the new leader, who asked him to redeem himself and lead the ghost soldiers to resist the Skeleton Evil. But can that thing stop it? The most evil evil ghost in the world that even the Chief Executive has a headache, and they are not even qualified to be cannon fodder. My dad was relatively smart. He was injured and slipped away during the chaos.
Among the fleeing ghosts, he met Yaxue. He didn't know when Yaxue arrived at Death Valley, because she was later assigned to be a sentry at the entrance of the valley, so she had less free time. When she was off duty, she was often tortured by Mei Ruoqi, so she rarely had the opportunity to see new ghosts. Before he died, I took Yaxue home, and he still recognized her, and Yaxue also recognized him, so the two of them took care of each other and fled to the outside of the valley together.
Last time, the Tongjue brothers helped to beat the ghost stakes and were imprisoned in the underground river. Without beating the ghost stakes, the passage could not be opened. When they escaped to the valley entrance and were worried, a new batch of ghosts were sent in. The two of them grabbed two tokens and fought their way out. Because of this, Dad was injured even more, and his soul was almost scattered. He was carried by Yaxue all the way to the Golmud shopping mall.
They were able to successfully escape from the Death Valley, in fact, thanks to the help of the Skeleton Evil. If there hadn't been a chaos in the valley, they wouldn't have been able to seize the token, and there were few pursuers, and they were all small minions with poor ghost skills, otherwise, there would have been no chance at all.
After listening to my father's story, I saw a scar from his left eye to his temple, which must have been left by torture. My eyes turned red, thinking about how much suffering he had endured, and I felt very bad.
After my dad finished speaking, he squinted his eyes and said, "How have you been these past few years? Tell me about it."
Even if my father didn't ask, I would have taken the initiative to report. I told him briefly about how I concentrated on running the store after his death, how I met Shen Bing three years later, and how I was involved in the corpse raising incident. When he heard the shocking part, he opened his eyes wide and clenched his hands tightly, and it seemed that he was sweating for me.
After I finished my report, my father looked at me with a half-believing and half-doubting look, as if he didn't believe that I could accomplish so many earth-shaking things with my two dog crawling magics. He turned his head and looked at Xuan Zhen with a questioning look. Xuan Zhen smiled and said, "Every word Xiaofeng said is true, without a trace of water. Although we have never been together, you should know that I am a person who never lies."
Dad finally believed it and nodded, "I didn't expect that Mei Ruoqi was killed by you, that's amazing. And the Longlou organization, Boss Gu and I tried so hard to get rid of it, but you also wiped it out. And the truly terrifying Life and Death Sect was also defeated by you, it seems that you are better than me, much better than me."
It was the first time I heard my dad praise me, and his tone was so sincere. I was so excited that I got carried away and said to my dad with a smile: "Even my great grandfather praised me as the smartest one in the Xi family..."
"Here you go again. No matter how smart you are, can you be smarter than your great-grandfather? Without the unique ghost skills passed down by him, how could you get rid of the evil spirits no matter how smart you are?" Dad interrupted me angrily.
Uh, Dad, you are deliberately suppressing me. Just like my great-grandfather, you won’t let me get away with anything.
