Chapter 778: Detailing the Jiang Family's Inheritance
Nalan Xin quoted the scriptures in detail, and there is a book that records that "Jiang Taigong Zhou was defeated, and after the success of a hundred battles, he was ordered by the Yuan Shi Tianzun, holding the jade talisman and the golden edict, and ascended to the Fengshen platform, and sealed the loyal ministers who died in battle and robbed the immortals, so that the wandering souls had something to rely on."
The meaning of this record is very simple, after Jiang Ziya assisted King Wu of Zhou to successfully defeat the Emperor, according to the will of Yuan Shi Tianzun, he began to reward the meritorious heroes who died in battle, which is what we often call Jiang Ziya as a god.
However, Jiang Ziya sealed three hundred and sixty immortals in a row, but he did not leave a god position for himself.
As a result, for thousands of years, Xuanmen has had different opinions about this....Some people say that Jiang Ziya originally planned to crown himself as the Emperor of Dongyue, and he had already ridden on the four dislikes, ready to go to Mount Tai to take office, but as soon as he arrived at Mount Tai, he was blocked by a spirit.
It is said that this person is the former general Huang Feihu, who unfortunately died when he exterminated the Shang Dynasty, and when Jiang Ziya was a god, he just forgot about him, so Huang Feihu could only run to Jiang Ziya and cry.
The latter couldn't bear it, so he named Huang Feihu as the head of the Five Mountains, "in charge of the eighteen hells of the Netherworld, and the transformation of people, gods and ghosts in life and death", and he himself became the prime minister of King Wu of Zhou again.
And since then......
Jiang Ziya's noble deeds completely conquered the gods, and everyone unanimously agreed that no matter whose territory Jiang Ziya went to, they would give him their offerings. From this, the folk also derived the saying that "the prince is here, there are no taboos".
According to legend, it is also under such a background that Nuwa can only grant Jiang Ziya a privilege, Jiang Ziya not only has the god list, but also has the whip of the gods, no matter what level of immortals he meets, Jiang Ziya can temporarily borrow his god position, also known as "Mingshen".
To put it more simply, Jiang Ziya, as the prime minister of the Zhou Dynasty, is actually a god among gods, and Jiang Ziya's god is in the middle of the roof of the hall of the common people, princes and nobles.
Compared with Jiang Ziya's self-proclaimed title of the head of the Five Mountains, this legend began in Xuanmen....but the folk are not.
According to folk rumors, when Jiang Ziya was a god, he originally reserved the position of the Jade Emperor for himself, but when he was also sealing himself, there was an oolong incident.
At the moment when he held the list of gods and finally announced, when the gods were concerned about who would serve as the Jade Emperor, Jiang Ziya said, "There are naturally people."
So, a mortal named Zhang Youren sat on the throne, Jiang Ziya was also completely shocked by this sudden change, but in an instant, the situation was irretrievable, and he could only accept the established facts.
Regarding the true identity of this Zhang Youren, some people say that Zhang Youren is a beggar, and due to Jiang Ziya's own slip of the tongue, he accidentally became the most honorable Jade Emperor in the Lingxiao Treasure Palace.
There is also information that Zhang Youren is actually a scholar who has followed Jiang Ziya for many years, he has followed Jiang Ziya for many years, and he has no credit and hard work.
Zhang Youren's heart was very unconvinced, so he played a trick, and when announcing the last god position, that is, the candidate for the Jade Emperor, Zhang Youren made the first move and directly occupied the chair with "Jade Emperor" written on it.
Jiang Ziya was very angry in the face of the sudden abnormal situation, however, whoever sat down first in this chair belonged to whomever Jiang Ziya himself had no choice.
At this time, Jiang Taigong, who was extremely angry and depressed, sat on the beam of the house, and Jiang Taigong, who was holding the god list and beating the god whip, still made the gods in awe.
When building a house, a charm will be added to the middle of the beam, which means that Jiang Taigong is in the middle of the house, and all other ghosts and gods must retreat, which has gradually evolved into a necessary ritual for people to build houses.
"It's been a long time," Nalan Xin didn't dare to say, "After all, it was more than three thousand years ago, and there is no clear record in later generations..... but both of them have said, but in folk rumors, it is obviously a bit funny to say that Jiang Taigong wants to crown himself as the Jade Emperor, after all, Haotian God is an ancient god of the same period as Nuwa."
"There is no doubt about that," I thought, "Xuanmen's statement should be more convincing!"
"Not necessarily," Nalan Xin said, "The Izuma family also has its own speculations, I have heard my grandfather mention that the ancestors of the Nalan family suspected that Jiang Taigong's stay in the world was forced by the situation, and it is also said that Jiang Taigong angered heaven and earth, and finally chose to stay in Yangshi, inheriting the Jiang family's lineage......
"God thinks that Jiang Taigong has great virtue in the world, so in the inheritance of the Jiang family from generation to generation, each generation will randomly give birth to a wise man, who has great wisdom and rectifies the Jiang family. This has lasted for the Jiang family for 3,000 years!"
"So the Jiang family is special," Nalan Xin revealed in a low voice.......
