After Gan's death, his wife, Gong Hao, gave birth to a boy. This child has a very peculiar appearance, and the distance between the two eyebrows is one foot wide, so people call him the ruler between the eyebrows.
When the eyebrows grew up, he called him to his side and said, "Child, you have grown up, and some things don't need to be hidden from you anymore." Then, he told his son how Gan Would have been killed by King Wu from beginning to end.
Listening to his mother's narration, he clenched his fists in anger and vowed to avenge his father.
At this time, He said, "Child, your father and I originally forged two swords, of which the female sword was already dedicated to King Wu, and the male sword was hidden by your father on the South Mountain near our house." Go get it now!" ”
Mei Jian listened to his mother's words and immediately went out to Nanshan. According to his mother's instructions, he finally found the sword left by his father in a huge ancient tree on a steep cliff. He held this sword "Gan General", which had been hidden for many years and shining with cold light, and his mood could not be calm for a long time, and he was eager to kill King Wu immediately and avenge his father.
The next day, Mei Jian bid farewell to his mother, put on his sword and "gan general", and went to the capital of the Wu kingdom to seek revenge on King Wu.
On this day, King Wu suddenly had a strange dream, dreaming of a child, holding a sword, to avenge his father, and the child's eyebrows were a foot apart.
King Wu woke up from his dream, and immediately after waking up, he ordered someone to draw a portrait of the ruler between his eyebrows according to his dream, and asked someone to post a list of articles to reward and arrest him.
It was difficult to come to the capital, but as soon as he entered the city gate, he found that the city wall was posted with lists and portraits of himself. As soon as he saw that the situation was not good, he quickly hid in the mountains. Thinking that his great revenge had not been repaid, but he had ended up in such a situation, he could not help but cry bitterly.
Just at this moment, a black-clad swordsman passed by, and he saw the sadness of the ruler crying between his eyebrows, so he went forward to inquire. After asking the reason for the matter, the black-clad swordsman said without hesitation, "I can avenge you, but I will take your head and the sword with me to kill King Wu." ”
Hearing this, he immediately pulled out the sword of the "Gan General", cut off his own head, and handed it to the swordsman along with the sword. But his body still stood still until the swordsman said to him, "Rest assured, I will not fail you!" At this time, the body of the ruler between the eyebrows fell.
The black-clad swordsman hastily buried the body of the eyebrow ruler, and then took the head of the eyebrow ruler to see King Wu. When King Wu heard about it, he happily summoned the swordsman in black.
The swordsman in black said, "This is the head of hatred that must be boiled in hot water to eliminate his hatred." ”
King Wu felt that it made sense, so he immediately threw the head of the ruler between his eyebrows into a mouthful of boiling water according to the swordsman's words. However, after cooking for three days and three nights in a row, the face of the ruler between the eyebrows did not change at all.
At this time, the man in black said, "Why doesn't the great king come forward to take a look at it for himself, and use your mighty wind to suppress the evil qi, maybe the head of the ruler between the eyebrows will be boiled." ”
King Wu agreed, and went to Dingbian to see. Suddenly, the head jumped up and bit down on King Wu's nose. At this moment, the black-clad swordsman beside him violently drew his sword, and with a single sword, he slashed King Wu's head into boiling water.
As soon as King Wu's head fell, the head of the ruler between his eyebrows immediately bit his ear. Two heads you bite me pounced, a time to fight inextricably.
When the black-clad swordsman saw this, he immediately cut off his own head and helped meijian to fight King Wu. After seven days and seven nights of fighting, the eyebrow ruler and the black-clad swordsman finally won.
At this time, the three heads were all boiled to pieces, and it was completely impossible to distinguish which was the King of Wu, which was the ruler between the eyebrows, and which was the swordsman. In the end, people had to divide the contents of the pot into three parts for burial, and each of them built a tomb, collectively known as the "Tomb of the Three Kings".
