The surnames of the three ghosts were quite strange. After chatting with them, Wei Hao found out that they were from the same family hundreds of years ago.
The blind old man's surname was Ting, the tuberculosis ghost's surname was Dian, and the strong man's surname was Lei.
These three surnames all come from the "Ting family", and the "Ting family" is a clan based on official positions. It was originally the ancient "Ting people and Ting people".
This kind of official position means that what they are engaged in is the handling of punishments.
That is, the executioner, the executioner.
However, judging from the environment in which they grew up, being able to become a powerful ghost and living in a land far east of Mount Tai, it is obvious that they are not the descendants of ordinary executioners.
"Oh? It turns out that it has been here for a hundred and twenty generations?"
Wei Hao was a little surprised, and after a quick calculation, he was afraid that it might not be traced back to two or three thousand years ago, which would be a bit outrageous.
But it was also three powerful ghosts who said so. According to local legends, it could be anywhere from three to five thousand years.
Even if we give some discounts, it started several hundred years ago, so this is not a big problem.
"Your Majesty, our clan was originally here to guard the 'slander tree' to show justice."
After the blind old man finished speaking, he added, "It's just that when I was young, I never saw what the 'slander tree' looked like."
The special things in the legend must play an important role.
The most famous of the so-called "slander trees" is Huabiao.
During the Tang Dynasty, "Biao Mu" was popular in admonishment. However, after the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty disappeared, it was obvious that his successor could not be a workaholic like the Emperor, so "Biao Mu" eventually evolved into formalism.
"Slander Wood" changed from wood carvings to stone carvings, and it is extremely exquisite and gorgeous, so it is called "Huabiao".
Afterwards, the simplest and most direct channel for the subjects to remonstrate was no longer available, but the important document form that the civil and military ministers presented to the king was also called a "table".
The fact that the three surnames Ting, Lei, and Dian can protect the "slander tree" for their ancestors at least proves that their ancestors' history is not later than the Tang Dynasty, and they have a history of about a thousand years.
However, it is obvious that after the changes in the world, Ting's family can no longer be described as falling into decline. It is almost the same as Bai Chen's situation.
The ancestral cooking skills are gone, and what's worse than Bai Chen is that the human race has strong fertility, and after generations of dilution of the kindness of their predecessors, they will eventually return to the homes of ordinary people.
But here is the advantage of having a historical origin. Even if the material inheritance may not be rich, the spiritual wealth allows the Ting family to give birth to righteous people among the only remaining heroic queens.
Wei Hao did not ask about what the three heroic spirits did during their lifetimes. Just like many city gods, Wei Hao would not take the initiative to ask about their lifetime experiences.
Heroes do not care about their origins, and the friendship between gentlemen is as light as water.
Wei Hao can respect each other, which is the greatest respect.
"Mount Tai is indeed a spiritual mountain, full of outstanding people."
I am very emotional, I have found so many surprises here.
"Predecessors serve as examples, and future generations will follow their own example."
The blind old man finished speaking, holding the bamboo stick in both hands, and said, "After five hundred years of separation, no one knows how much ambition these descendants will have..."
Wei Hao was not secretive about the test he put to the descendants of the three of them.
There are only three things to be tested: courage, perseverance, and integrity.
Do you have the courage to hike in the snow and climb mountains, do you have the perseverance to grit your teeth and persevere, do you have the honesty and trustworthiness...
This process may be said to be simple or difficult, but it is actually quite difficult.
Especially when you see the peach trees all over the mountain and just break an ordinary peach tree, who knows?
There is no one around, neither gods nor ghosts are aware of it.
This is the simplest thing, but it is the most difficult.
On the contrary, traveling long distances in the snow and over mountains and ridges, which seems extremely painful, is not the most difficult thing for a strong person.
This small test made the three ghosts Ting, Lei and Dian extremely nervous.
As a heroic spirit, he is naturally more concerned about whether his descendants will have a lower moral level than his ancestors...
"You three, please be patient."
Wei Hao smiled and comforted the three ghosts, "Now that the world is in chaos, if they can do justice in troubled times, I believe they will be believers."
"However, the test will continue, because this test involves more than three descendants, and there will be more people in the future."
It is impossible for everyone to operate the small "Yimu Lixin" honestly.
There are always some people who want to be lazy and thieves, but Wei Hao will not abandon them just because of this.
On the contrary, if you use it, you will still use it, but you will not reuse it, and the rewards will naturally be less.
"Your Majesty, I heard that your Majesty and 'Dong Bohou' are quite at odds with each other. If there is a confrontation, only the three of us will be...missing?"
"There are 6,253 local powerful ghosts in the past five hundred years. If I invite 6,000 powerful ghosts, wouldn't I be able to form an army of my own?"
"ah?"
"..."
Wei Hao gave the answer to the old man named Ting's question.
But this answer obviously shocked the three Akuma.
"You don't have to worry about the national destiny, official prestige, and fame. To deal with the guards of 'Dong Bohou', relying only on heroic spirits is to fight against ghosts. This is illegal and will encounter backlash from the rules. After all, no matter how heroic spirits or ghosts are,
, are also dead souls in the underworld. However, I have a method that can make heroic spirits appear in the world and walk around without fear of the laws of the world."
Ghosts harm people and kill people. This is a violation of the rules of humanity and heaven. In the end, they can indeed kill people and harm people, but the end of ghosts is also to be wiped out and their souls are scattered.
Even if it is a heroic spirit, this is the result, because the heroic spirit is still just a ghost.
But if we hold on to great righteousness and uphold justice, as long as we are not hypocritical or pretentious, then the great righteousness and justice of mankind for many generations can overshadow the national destiny of a generation of dynasties.
In the past dynasties, it is true that the rulers of dynasties betrayed the world in order to survive. At this time, anyone who raises a banner of righteousness to crusade is no longer the common master of the world, but the public enemy of the human race and the only man in the world.
"We will obey the king's orders."
"Ha." Wei Hao smiled, "I have already said that I am not a great king, and my words are naturally not the king's orders. Don't forget, you said it before, if it is for righteousness, you will not listen to it; if it is for the sake of justice, you will not listen.
Even if you listen to your selfish desires, you will not obey them.”
"yes……"
The three ghosts said this, but they were actually still nervous in their hearts.
There are many things to worry about. Whether future generations can pass the test, they cannot calm down until they see it with their own eyes; Wei Hao's method of walking in the world cannot be imagined without personal experience; if faced with "Dong Bohou"'s
The guards, those demon slayers with profound Taoist skills, what methods can they use to deal with it?
Everything is unknown.
However, Wei Hao was full of confidence and continued to build weapons in "Jiangjiagou" while carving more peach charms.
The next day, everything was so ordinary. Only one person from each of Ting, Lei, and Dian families put on winter clothes, prepared dry food, and walked into the mountains in the snow.
Relatives and friends all thought they were crazy and were seeking death in the mountains.
However, the three of them thought about it and bravely set foot on the mountain road.
Even if there is no wind in the mountains, it is still extremely cold.
After the snow has been trampled hard, it turns into thick ice. If you are not careful while walking in the mountains, you will roll into the cliff with no possibility of survival.
However, these three people are quite optimistic. They can still be righteous people in this day and age. They are usually "dead-headed" and can't pull back even ten cows.
In the air, Yan Xuanxin flew over the top of the mountain. The three of them took different routes, and they were not aware of each other's existence. However, the three of them had the same spirit of moving forward with their heads down.
While returning to "Jiangjiagou" several times to report progress to Wei Hao, Yan Xuanxin was still curious: "Elephant Master, why do you want to test these three people like this?"
"This 'Yimu Lixin' will not only test the three of them. It just happens that the three of them are suitable right now."
"Suitable? Suitable for what?"
Yan Xuanxin was puzzled.
"The three vanguards to deal with the 'Human Immortals' under 'Dong Bohou' are the three of them."
"ah?!"
Yan Xuanxin, who was confused, was immediately shocked. She felt that Wei Hao's operation was a bit sloppy, "Elephant Master, they don't know soldiers, maybe they have never been on the battlefield, how can they compete with the tigers and wolves under Dong Bohou's command?"
Are soldiers on par with each other?"
"Whether you have that ability is one thing; whether you dare to fight is another matter. Little Yanzi, you have missed the point."
Wei Hao put down the peach charm he was carving in his hand, and then said with a smile, "Even if there are thousands of civilians who have not received training, they will not be the opponent of a hundred or so regular troops. However, as long as the leader has the courage to fight to the death,
With courage, weakness can be turned into balance, and balance can be turned into advantage."
"..."
"When two strong men meet, the brave one wins!"
Having said that decisively, Wei Hao looked at Yan Xuanxin and said, "One is strong and the other is weak. As long as the weak side is brave, even if it loses, it's not a big deal. If you lose this time, it may be a good defeat next time."
Some; the next time, maybe it’s just a small setback; the next time, maybe you can win brilliantly. A strong general starts from scratch, there is no born victorious general.”
What he said made Yan Xuanxin extremely excited, while the three heroic spirits and ghosts who were still quite worried at first were completely relieved.
Because the King of Wei does not care about the gains and losses of a moment, and will not be discouraged by failure, then they are naturally not afraid of making mistakes.
If you are not afraid of making mistakes, you will not be timid or timid, and the burden in your heart that is afraid of losing or not winning will be insignificant.
"Furthermore, the people of 'Jiangjiagou', 'Dingjianao' and even Wuwen County and Taiyang Prefecture have experienced firsthand what 'Dong Bohou' is going to do in the East Jue Land. Therefore, if we want to fight,
This is not an unjust war, but a just war to protect our family and our territory."
"This is not my, Wei Hao's, war, nor is it my, Xiao Wang's, or your personal career."
"This is a just cause, the cause of many local people. Such a just cause may be frustrated, but it will not fail."
These words made the three powerful ghosts feel excited. They had returned from the underworld to the sun and had settled many things. They were originally just onlookers on the ambitions of "Dong Bohou", but what "Dong Bohou" did
Therefore, it will eventually lead to the displacement of rural people.
In this way, we cannot ignore it, let alone turn a blind eye and ignore it.
If I continue to sit back and watch, I will lose the justice and righteousness that I upheld during my lifetime.
When Yan Xuanxin heard Wei Hao's words, she felt happy in her heart and looked shy. Just because Wei Hao talked to her, Xiao Yanzi thought to herself: Mr. Elephant really regards me as his own. Maybe in the future
He became the person in the house...
Just when he was thinking about the future, he saw three heroic spirits, Ting, Lei, and Dian, all bowing and saluting, and said to Wei Hao: "Your Majesty, we are willing to be your 'righteous obedience' to your Majesty and do whatever you want!"
