Fortunately, Manjusri Bodhisattva arrived in time and pulled Jiang Ziya back from the Yellow Springs. Later, with the help of Jin Zha and Nezha, the Four Saints died in battle.

Master Wen could only summon his trump card - the four generals of the Demon Clan. The four generals of the Demon Clan had the upper hand at first, and their magic weapon, the Flowery Marten, beat Xiqi so hard that he had no chance to fight back. Fortunately, at the critical moment, a talented man named Yang Jian came to Xiqi.

The Flowery Marten died at the hands of Yang Jian, and Yang Jian transformed into the Flowery Marten and successfully went to the camp of the four generals of the Demon Family to rob a wave of equipment. He stole all the magic weapons of the four generals of the Demon Family, and without the magic weapons, the four generals of the Demon Family died at the hands of the generals of Xiqi soon after.

Master Wen set up ten formations to deal with Jiang Ziya, but Xiqi had many talented people, and soon the first six formations were broken one by one. Seeing this, Master Wen, the chief general of the Shang Dynasty, asked Zhao Gongming to help.

As soon as Zhao Gongming appeared, he eliminated Jiang Ziya from the game and sent him to see the King of Hell. Fortunately, Guangchengzi rescued Jiang Ziya and he was resurrected again. Later, Zhao Gongming was defeated by Xiao Sheng and Cao Bao, and he had to go to his three sisters, the Three Goddesses, to borrow some five-star equipment.

After borrowing the golden horn shears, Zhao Gongming was fearless. Even the sika deer, the mount of the Taoist priest Ran Deng, was cut in half by the power of the golden horn shears. Just when Xiqi was at a loss, a god suddenly fell from the sky to assist him - Taoist priest Lu Ya.

With his perfect operation, Zhao Gongming soon went to hell. Among the ten formations, only one red sand formation remained. Seeing this, King Wu Jifa personally went out to break the red sand formation.

But at this moment, Zhao Gongming's three sisters, the Three Goddesses of the Sky, vowed to avenge their brother. They set up the Nine Bends of the Yellow River Formation and sacrificed the Hunyuan Golden Bowl, trapping all the Twelve Golden Immortals of the Chan Sect in the formation.

Seeing that the Three Goddesses were invincible and King Wu Jifa was trapped in the red sand array and could not escape, Jiang Ziya had to use the old method to pull his teammates out. He asked Taishang Laojun and Yuanshi Tianzun to successfully break the array and rescue King Wu Jifa and the twelve golden immortals.

Seeing that there was no way to save the situation, the Shang general Wen Taishi could only gather his remaining troops and retreat. Unexpectedly, he was killed by Yun Zhongzi at Juelong Ridge and his soul returned to heaven.

After that, Jiang Ziya recaptured the injured generals Tu Xingsun and Deng Jiugong, and received support from Jizhou Hou Su Hu, and he was unstoppable all the way. At this time, the Xiqi camp was already strong enough to fight against the Shang Dynasty.

After Jiang Ziya defeated the generals, he led his army to Chaoge. Unexpectedly, he was stopped by Kong Xuan on the way, and Huang Feihu's son Huang Tianhua also died in the war.

Huang Feihu avenged this, but afterwards, Jiang Ziya was knocked down from the Sibu Xiang by Shen Gongbao's Kai Tianzhu. Jiang Ziya used his special move again, and his master Yuanshi Tianzun saw this and quickly found Shen Gongbao to support his apprentice.

He also made Shen Gongbao swear that he would never obstruct Jiang Ziya again, otherwise he would become a blaster in the deep palace and go to the Saibei Sea Eye.

Later, the Xiqi army broke through Qinglong Pass and Sishui Pass. However, not only did Jiang Ziya have a master, Shen Gongbao also had a backer. His backer was the Jiejiao Tongtian Patriarch. Tongtian Patriarch set up the Zhuxian Formation and the Wanxian Formation, but he could not do anything to Taishang Laojun and Yuanshi Tianzun.

In the end, it was only after Hongjun stepped in to mediate the conflict between Jiejiao Tongtian Jiaozhu and Chanjiao Yuanshi Tianzun and Taishang Laojun. However, Shen Gongbao was eventually captured to block the North Sea Eye because he continued to oppose Jiang Ziya.

When Xiqi attacked the Shang Dynasty, King Zhou and Daji still did not repent and continued to do evil. In the end, the Shang Dynasty was defeated by the Xiqi army, and King Zhou received a five-star bad review and burned himself to death. Jiang Ziya returned to his country to be deified, and King Wu of Zhou also conferred titles on many princes, ushering in the prosperity of the Zhou Dynasty.

[The only person King Zhou of Shang was afraid of, History: Investiture of the Gods, Wen Zhong]

Master Wen was the only person King Zhou of Shang feared, and the only deity among the 365 gods in The Investiture of the Gods. He was loyal throughout his life, fighting for the Shang Dynasty and defending Chaoge.

With him, the Shang Dynasty would not have perished. He is Wen Zhong, a character in the Ming Dynasty mythological novel "The Investiture of the Gods" and the third-generation disciple of Tongtian Jiaozhu.

Wen Zhong is extremely talented. After practicing under the Jinling Holy Mother for 50 years, he has reached the state of Three Flowers Gathering at the Top of the Head and Five Qis Returning to the Origin, and is only one step away from becoming a saint.

He has a yellow face and is proficient in the five elements of gold, wood, water, fire and earth. When he is emotional, a third eye will grow on his forehead, which can distinguish evil and see through people's hearts. He holds a pair of male and female golden whips, and the mythical beast Mo Qilin under him can travel a thousand miles a day and travel through the three realms in one day.

During the reign of King Wen Ding of the Shang Dynasty, Wen Zhong followed his teacher's order and went down the mountain to assist the emperor of the Shang Dynasty to protect the foundation of the Shang Dynasty. Before the death of King Di Yi of the Shang Dynasty, he entrusted his son to Wen Zhong and gave him a golden whip to beat the tyrants and corrupt officials.

During the reign of King Zhou, Wen Zhong was revered as the Grand Master, the highest position among ministers. He was known as the two greatest talents of the Shang Dynasty, together with King Wucheng Huang Feihu. But in fact, he was a master of both civil and military affairs. His civil skills were enough to stabilize the country, and his military skills were enough to rule the country. He almost single-handedly protected the Shang Dynasty.

He fought many battles in his life and never suffered a defeat. People respected him as Master Wen.

In the seventh year of King Zhou, Master Wen was ordered to march north to suppress the 72 rebel lords of Beihai, led by Yuan Futong. The Beihai rebels were called 72 lords, but in fact they were a group of ancient monsters. Even though Master Wen had already cultivated the Five Elements Dao and had powerful magic that could move mountains and seas, he was still caught in a tough battle.

But while he was fighting in the North Sea, King Zhou, who was firmly in power in Chaoge, was also worried. There were constant reports that he neglected state affairs and committed perverse acts, causing chaos in the country and rebellion by the princes. Although Master Wen was extremely anxious, he could do nothing about the stalemate in the North Sea war.

After more than 10 years, Master Wen finally defeated the Beihai rebels and returned to the court in triumph. When he saw the panic-stricken civil and military officials who came out of the city to greet him and saw that he was saved from a desperate situation, Master Wen had a bad feeling.

But when he heard that King Zhou was bewitched by Daji and the treacherous ministers Fei Zhong and You Hun, who had gouged out the heart of his uncle Bigan, and that the Queen of Luojiang had unjustly killed the Marquis of Dongbo Jiang Huanchu, he was furious, and the third eye on his forehead flashed white light. He immediately ordered someone to draft an edict and presented ten strategies to King Zhou in person:

Demolish the terrace, abolish the "paolao", remove the wine pool and meat forest, open the granary and settle the former intermediary in the southeast square, etc. However, King Zhou only agreed to 7 of them, including demolishing the terrace, beheading Daji quickly, and letting Fei Zhong wander around.

Master Wen was so eager to advise King Zhou that he actually used his pen to get King Zhou to approve his decision. Unexpectedly, the ghost of Fei Zhong stepped forward and accused Master Wen of being disrespectful by accepting the reward without following the etiquette of a minister.

Master Wen had no place to vent his anger, so he caught the two and beat them half to death. King Zhou did not dare to say anything when he saw this, but secretly thought that Fei You and the other two were asking for humiliation.

But before Master Wen, who had just returned to the court, had time to clean up the court, news came that Prince Pingling of Donghai had rebelled. In desperation, Master Wen could only rush to the eastern battlefield with his army, and the Shang Dynasty thus missed its last chance to survive.

Not long after Master Wen went on another expedition, shocking news came from Chaoge: King Zhou had molested and forced to death Jia, the wife of King Wucheng Huang Feihu. Huang Feihu rebelled against the Shang Dynasty in anger, surrendered to Jiang Ziya, and helped Xiqi to attack King Zhou.

Upon hearing the news, Master Wen immediately dispatched Zhang Guifang, the general of Qinglong Pass, to fight against the Xiqi army. Zhang Guifang's magic of soul-devouring magic stood out among the 800 lords of the Shang Dynasty, and he had never been defeated, but he was restrained by Nezha's lotus incarnation and was seriously injured and defeated.

The war in the East China Sea was tense, and Master Wen had no time to spare, so he could only invite his good friends, the Four Saints of Kowloon Island, to provide support. Unfortunately, the Four Saints died in battle, and Zhang Guifang also committed suicide.

Master Wen no longer underestimated the enemy and directly sent out the four generals of the Guan Mo family. The four brothers of the Mo family were all 24 feet tall and had unique skills. The eldest brother, Li Qing, held the Qingyun Sword, which was said to be the magic weapon of the Qing Emperor in ancient times. It had the four attributes of earth, water, wind and fire, and could resist thousands of soldiers.

The second demon is Li Hong, whose weapon is a Hunyuan Umbrella, which can make the sky dark and the sun and moon dim; the third demon is Li Hai, whose treasure is a blood pipa, which can generate wind and fire flags when the strings are plucked; the fourth demon, Li Shou, has an even more amazing treasure, which is a living magic weapon named Flower Marten, which he usually carries with him, like a white mouse, and can release a creature as big as a white elephant that can eat people.

The arrival of the four generals of the Demon Family really killed many soldiers and generals of the Xiqi army. Nezha was defeated, and Yang Jian was eaten alive by a marten. The Western Army was temporarily confused and panicked, so they could only hang up a sign to avoid fighting.

But they didn't expect that Yang Jian had already mastered the Nine Revolutions Mysterious Skill, and with the golden light shining on his body, he not only killed the Flowery Marten, but also transformed into its appearance and stole all the treasures of the four brothers. The four generals of the Mo family who lost their treasures were killed by the Western Army.

When Master Wen heard the news, he was so angry that the Three Corpse Gods jumped up and down, the Five Elements Gods flew into the air, the eyes on his forehead opened wide, and white light shot out a foot away. He then decided to go to Xiqi himself.

After returning to Chaoge, Master Wen selected 30 soldiers and horses, bid farewell to King Zhou and set out. No one would have thought that this would be the last battle of Master Wen, who had fought all his life.

In the twenty-seventh year of King Zhou's reign, Master Wen had been confronting the Xiqi army for three years.

During this period, when he passed by Huanghua Mountain, he also recruited four Heavenly Kings including Deng Zhong and Zhang Jie. Later, he invited ten more Heavenly Kings and set up the ten great formations of heaven and earth, red water, golden light, blood transformation, falling soul, blazing flame, wind roar, ice, gas transformation, and black smoke seventy miles away from Xiqi city.

Although the Ten Absolute Formations were extremely powerful, they were eventually broken by the Twelve Golden Immortals of the Chan Sect invited by Jiang Ziya, and all the Ten Heavenly Lords of Jin'ao Island were killed. Even the male and female golden whips in Master Wen's hands were broken by Jiang Ziya's divine whip, and the Shang army was defeated.

There were only a few people left around Master Wen. When he reached Juelong Ridge, he suddenly remembered that when he was going down the mountain, the Holy Mother of Jinling had reminded him that "if you meet a dragon, you will die." Sure enough, he encountered an ambush from Xiqi here.

The black unicorn's mount died in the battle, his disciple's deputy general refused to surrender, and finally Master Wen was killed by the Tongtian Divine Fire Pillar trained by Yun Zhongzi. After Jiang Ziya returned to the country to confer the title of God, he was ordered by Yuanshi Tianzun to confer Master Wen as Jiutian Yingyuan Leisheng Puhua Tianzun, also known as Leizu, who supervised the 365 main gods of the Thunder Department and was the only Tianzun among the main gods.

[What was King Zhou of Shang like in history? King Zhou of Shang, Di Xin in history]

It is said that after the death of King Zhou, the human race no longer had good fortune, there were no more 99 emperors in the world, only the emperor. But in "The Investiture of the Gods", King Zhou can be said to be the ceiling of tyrants.

Not only did he build a private club, he also flirted with Nuwa, which led to the revenge of the fox demon. So what was King Zhou of Shang like in history? Why did a monarch who reformed the sacrificial rites, appointed people regardless of their background, crushed the Dongyi tribe, and made great military achievements bear countless negative reviews?

Today let’s take a look at King Zhou of Shang who has been slandered for thousands of years.

The main labels of tyranny on King Zhou of Shang are as follows: neglecting sacrifices, favoring villains, and listening to women's words. In the movie "Investiture of the Gods", he was also accused of usurping the throne.

So did King Zhou's throne come from an illegal source? Actually, it was not. As shown in the movie, King Zhou of Shang did have an elder brother, Wei Zi Qi. The Records of the Grand Historian records: "The eldest son of Emperor Yi was Wei Zi Qi. His mother was not the fourth son, and the mother's heart was just the right number for the fourth son."

That is to say, although Wei Zi Qi took advantage of his birth and gained the advantage of being the eldest son, he was held back by his mother's low status. However, the mother of Emperor Yi's youngest son Emperor Xin (later King Zhou of Shang) was his legal wife, the queen.

These two candidates for the throne started from the same point of view, but the status of Emperor Xin's legitimate son could directly crush Weizi Qi.

Therefore, in the race for the throne, Emperor Xin was the only candidate, unless he died. Wei Zi Qi was not even qualified to register for the race. In 1076 BC, Emperor Yi died of illness, and Emperor Xin ascended the throne.

Unlike the image of a licentious and immoral person in The Investiture of the Gods, Emperor Xin was not incapable of anything. On the contrary, he was not only extremely powerful, but also a best debater who could win the championship in debate competitions. He could be called the first person in the Shang Dynasty to write a paper without a draft.

In the "Records of the Grand Historian", Sima Qian's evaluation of King Zhou's eloquence is "capable of rejecting advice and covering up mistakes", which is enough to show that King Zhou's eloquence is indeed extraordinary.

In addition, the book "Emperors' Deeds" also praised King Zhou's physical strength, saying: "Emperor Xin has the power to pull up nine oxen and the strength to hold up a beam."

In other words, even if the opponent was just a cow, King Zhou could easily kill him in seconds. Even if the pillars supporting the beams were removed and he was left to fight the beasts barehanded without any weapons, it would not be a problem for King Zhou.

Not only that, "Xunzi Feixiang" also records: "In ancient times, the days were long, so the best people in the world gathered there." In other words, King Zhou could also make a living in the film and television industry based on his looks.

How could such a handsome man with high IQ and martial arts lead the Shang Dynasty to destruction? This has to start with King Zhou's personality.

As the ruler of a country, King Zhou of Shang was very confident in his decisions. The so-called "wise enough to reject remonstrances" was not exaggerated. Even if the court officials were right, King Zhou could directly refute the correct arguments with his eloquence.

It is said that when King Zhou first ascended the throne, his rule was dark, arrogant, extravagant and licentious.

His elder brother Wei Ziqi started the "Tang Monk mode" and advised him to "turn back". Later, when he heard that Xibohou Jichang implemented benevolent policies and made Zhou a promising stock, Wei Ziqi came to persuade King Zhou again. Unexpectedly, King Zhou firmly believed that "my fate is determined by heaven, not Jichang".

This recalcitrant attitude made Wei Ziqi so angry that he went to Ji Chang and took the ancestral tablets with him. Ji Zi was different from Wei Ziqi and Bigan. He thought that running away would be like showing the world that King Zhou was a tyrant, so he stayed in the Shang Dynasty, but started to act crazy every day, and was imprisoned by King Zhou soon after.
