In the depths of the cave, Grandpa Taizu and Dad came out. Xuanzhen stayed in the flag to recuperate because of the heavy loss of vitality. They all looked at Shen Bing's body with heavy faces and remained silent.
Dad has regained consciousness now, but he still remembers everything that happened before. It's just that he was bewitched and lost control. Looking at Shen Bing, he sighed and said, "It's all my fault. I was used by the wicked and caused this consequence." His voice was full of regret.
Great Grandfather frowned and said, "This is not entirely your fault. It's because you were born into the wrong family. As a descendant of the Xi family, you were used by the enemy. You have suffered all these years." He paused and continued, "The three major taboos have been resolved. Our Xi family has finally done justice to the heavens and the underworld, and to the common people. There is no need to linger in the underworld. After Shen Bing comes back to life, we will all be reincarnated."
It was very bitter to hear his words. I don't know how much bitterness he had experienced over the years. In the end, our Xi family lived up to the expectations of the underworld and the world, and we overcame the storm and gave the world a peaceful and tranquil world. Although we lost too much, the final result made us feel that everything we did was worth it!
Xiaoxue sighed and said, "Brother, can we both be reincarnated?" At this moment, the combined ghost body turned into Xiaoxue's face.
I understand what Xiaoxue said. After the ghosts merge, they cannot be separated anymore. Even if they go to heaven or hell, the two will be together forever. If they are forced to separate, the end result will be the scattering of souls, so there will probably be no chance of reincarnation.
"Maybe we can be twins." Grandpa Taizu suddenly had an idea.
"I don't want to be brother and sister with you. We were destined not to be together in the previous life. As ghosts, we should just..." At this point, Xiaoxue seemed to realize that she had let the cat out of the bag. She stopped quickly, her face slightly red.
"Okay, you all go and reincarnate, Xiaoxue and I will go back to Woshi in the northeast."
The old ancestor nodded, turned his gaze to me and said, "Since your great grandfather said that he would wait for Shen Bing to come back to life, he must have a way, so you don't have to worry too much."
My nose suddenly felt sore, knowing that they were just words of comfort. It was impossible for Xiaofan to be found. But I still nodded slightly: "I'm not worried. Even if Shen Bing can't come back to life, I will go to Woshi in the northeast with her and stay by Grandpa Taizu's side to serve him."
When my father heard this, he glared at me and said, "Nonsense! The Xi family has been a single-line family for ten generations, and you can't be the last one to inherit. Remember, there are three types of unfilial behavior, and the worst is to have no descendants..."
Great Grandfather interrupted him and said, "Xiaoqing, we should all understand Xiaofeng's infatuation. It is not important whether the Xi family has descendants or not. What is important is that people should be loyal and righteous. Unlike me, I gave up Xiaoxue back then, and now... Well, I won't say too much. The Xi family ends here without descendants, so let it be. Let Xiaofeng do whatever he wants!"
I was deeply moved and nodded to him with tears in my eyes, thanking him for understanding me so much.
After Great-Grandfather said so much, what else could my father do? He could only nod and agree reluctantly.
Wang Zijun brought some food in his bag and shared it with everyone. Although I was hungry for two days, I was in no mood to eat. I took a bite of bread and it got stuck in my throat. I couldn't swallow it. Then I put it down and looked down at Shen Bing's pale face. I was overwhelmed with grief and tears flowed unconsciously. I finally cried long after she died.
Great-grandfather and the others exchanged glances and put their flags back, while Qu Mo, Lu Fei and Wang Zijun also walked out of the cave, leaving me alone with Shen Bing's body.
I remember crying for a long time that day, and finally Qu Mo and the others came back to persuade me to stop. That night, we went out again and searched the Death Valley all night. We didn't find Xiao Fan, but we found the hilt of the Shangyang Sword in a corner. This sword was destroyed together with the three taboos and the Flower King, so we dug a deep pit on the spot and buried the hilt.
We searched for three days in a row and fell into an underground river. We met the red-haired ghost, the Shar-Pei dog and Tongjue. After the Shar-Pei dog died, he escaped into the underground river to avoid the ghost soldiers and met the two brothers. Tongjue mobilized many of his good ghost soldiers to search together, but Xiaofan seemed to have disappeared from the face of the earth and there was no clue. I suspect that the bastard magician had killed the child long ago and destroyed the body.
Speaking of this magician, my father knows his background, because after he came to Death Valley, this magician lived in the valley and was the only living person. His name is Chang Baojing, he is Lao Qian's senior brother, he looks very young, but in fact he is over 70 years old, because he often sucks the blood of infants to maintain his body, he looks like a middle-aged man.
The real ghost of Boss Gu was also sent to the Death Valley. He did not go out to do business when he died, so he could not be called a boss, and he had never met my father. When they first met, Boss Gu did not recognize him at all. Later, when they got to know each other and talked about the cause of death, my father realized that his friend who he had been hanging out with for many years was actually a fake and had been using him all along. Later, this Liu Erfei was also sent to the Death Valley. My father had a falling out with him, and his soul was almost dispersed by them at that time.
Because Mei Ruoqi deliberately wanted to use my father as a pawn to deal with me, my father was able to live to this day. It was not until we obtained the Feng Shui secret technique and glued the blood jade that they thought of him and used the ghost technique of bewitching to make my father willing to work for them. Chang Baojing also made a willow spirit girl who looked exactly like Yaxue, and let Tan Qing impersonate Yaxue, thus formulating a conspiracy.
They failed to stop us in Golmud, so they came up with another plan, which was also a backup plan they had prepared long ago. They let Liu Erfei control Gu Xiaoning's body and lead Xiaofan into a trap. Soul control is supposed to give birth to a soul, and Liu Erfei got the secret heart method of the Skeleton Evil. He made a corpse general and could appear in the sun like a living person. In fact, Gu Xiaoning was not a soul-controlling demon, but a corpse general.
Grandpa Taizu and Xiaoxue took a shortcut back to the underworld from the Death Valley. They went to the Chief Executive to find a solution. But I know in my heart that the Chief Executive is not omnipotent. Everything in the world has certain rules. The Chief Executive can control the life and death of people, but cannot change the organs of the corpse. The Chief Executive can agree to Xiaoxue's resurrection, but without a corpse that can be resurrected, everything is in vain.
The ghost soldiers in the Death Valley were all recruited by the underworld within three days, because since the Flower King was destroyed, there was no need to station ghost soldiers here. The secrets about the Kings of Hell hidden in the Death Valley may be hidden in the hell under the Flower King, so we don't need to explore them. Don't say that we don't have the mood to do so. Even if we want to understand, we will try our best to restrain ourselves. Knowing too much is not a good thing.
In the end, all these recruited ghost soldiers returned to the underworld. Some of those who were reluctant to leave obtained approval from the chief executive and stayed in the Death Valley.
Everything is over here. After burying Ma Yunxi, we left Death Valley and headed for Ishigaki Village with a very lost mood.
