"Why can Shen Gongbao also be a god?" I really can't figure it out!

"You said this," Jiang Ling smiled, "When I was a child, I actually asked my grandfather after reading it. But when I was a child, my grandfather wouldn't tell me......

"Why?" I asked curiously.

In this regard, Jiang Ling said bluntly: "That is not in line with the rules, every generation of the head of the Jiang family, when choosing a wise man, will let us look through the "Fengshen List"....Anyone who can see the clues from it is the heir of each generation of the Jiang family's chosen family. At that time, I was stupid, and I can't see the reason now!"

"What's the clue to the god list?" I was stunned, but I undoubtedly confirmed my suspicions.

"Yes," Jiang Ling didn't hide it, "Just like the question you said just now....Not long ago, I heard that the nine-tailed fox was going to come to the Jiang family to seek justice, causing a catastrophe for the Jiang family, and I accidentally heard my grandfather talk about your problem just now."

"Why can Shen Gongbao be a god, actually," Jiang Lingguaner said about this question: "First of all, in "The Romance of the Gods", the condition for being a god is not whether he is good or evil in life. The regulation of the gods is that if you participate in the battle of the gods, those who are blessed will become immortals. Secondly, it becomes a god. Again, reincarnation."

"Shen Gongbao's fortune is medium, and he meets the conditions for becoming a god...... Secondly, although Shen Gongbao is a villain in the book, he is an extremely important character. Although the battle of Shang and Zhou was not provoked by him, for the battle of the gods, most of it was provoked by Shen Gongbao. He has a wide range of friends and good eloquence, and he has rebelled against countless cultivators and fellow sects to go down the mountain to protect merchants and Jiang Ziya, and as a result, they have all been sent to the god list, and this is how all the immortals on the god list have been gathered."

"In other words, if there is no Shen Gongbao, many sectarians of the Interception Sect will not go down the mountain, let alone die, in this case, how can the ancestor Jiang Ziya be a god? …… So, on the other hand, in terms of Fengshen alone, Shen Gongbao is invisibly "meritorious". This can be regarded as the completion of the Origin Heavenly Venerable's canonization of gods."

"Finally, the ancestor Jiang Ziya is a positive character in "Romance of the Gods", and most of the positive characters are kind-hearted and disregard previous suspicions...... Although Shen Gongbao is always against Jiang Ziya, the ancestors of the Jiang family do not care about the previous feuds, and they think that Shen Gongbao is in the same family with him. Moreover, for Yuan Shi Tianzun, Shen Gongbao invisibly sent many masters of the sect to the god list, and even more, it greatly damaged the vitality of the sect of interception, which has the reputation of "ten thousand immortals come to the dynasty". It's all thanks to Shen Gongbao."

"If you look at it this way," Jiang Ling smiled, "it is not difficult for you to understand why Shen Gongbao was made a god. Moreover, he can definitely be regarded as a meritorious person!"

"Indeed," I can't argue, "I never thought that from a different perspective, I could see different causes and effects..."

"Well," Jiang Ling sighed, "It's like grandpa quoted a sentence from Wang Yangming to summarize it, saying that this world business is like flowers and plants. How can there ever be a distinction between good and evil? If the child wants to look at the flowers, the flowers are good, and the grass is evil. If you want to use grass, you should use grass for good."

The quotation is very appropriate, and I have also read the interpretation of this sentence, the original text is excerpted from Wang Yangming's "Biography", which means "Heaven and earth are born, like flowers and plants. How can there ever be a difference between good and evil? If you want to appreciate the flowers, that is, the flowers are good and the grass is evil. If you want to use grass, you should use grass for good. All these good and evil are produced by the likes and dislikes of the human heart, so it is wrong to look at good and evil physically." Wang Yangming is subjective idealism, and his ideas show the completion of the reconstruction of Confucian beliefs.

Many of his theories of mind are understandings that transcend the times.

Wait a minute......

If you interpret "Fengshen List" from the same way and from a different angle, I suddenly feel that the loopholes in it are simply full of holes, maybe the Shang period is not what ordinary people understand at all.

I put down the dishes and chopsticks, wiped my mouth and hands, returned to the bookshelf, and opened the "Fengshen List.....

Same book, but this time I confirmed a different point of view.

And the more I look at it, the more shocked I become, and I have to sigh: "The world says that playthings are demoralized....But this wise man in the world, who is not a hero who fools the world and borrows the times as usual? The ancestor of the Jiang family is even more of a master!"

"You," Jiang Ling

Stunned: "Jiang Cheng, why would you say that?"

I was thinking, "Maybe... The list of gods in the Shang and Zhou dynasties is not what ordinary people see! Xingwu Wang's war is basically a dispute between Haotian God and the human race!"

"This!?" Jiang Ling's face was shocked.

"Didn't you ever think about it?" I tried to take out a fragmented historical book of the Shang Dynasty and analyze: "Actually, during the Shang Dynasty, no one envied the gods at all. No one will want to be on the god list. These are all handed down to later generations, everyone thinks that the gods are superior, and then they envy the immortals and become gods.... But the business period is completely different! That human race does not have a city and a sky, and it is on the list of gods, it is not difficult to find that in fact, many people avoid the list of gods, no one wants to be on the list, and the immortals of the Three Realms are even more reluctant to have anything to do with the list of gods!"

"How is that possible?" Jiang Ling still can't subvert people's knowledge.

Helpless... I took the "Fengshen List" that is coming now as a drama, opened it with memory, and explained: "You look at this paragraph, the three teachings of people, interpretation, and interception, after hearing about the Fengshen List. The Tongtian Sect Master ordered his disciples to prohibit going out of the mountain, and also posted two couplets at the door of Biyou Palace. Shanglian is, close the cave house, and silently recite the three or two volumes of the Huang Ting. The next link is to be in the west, and there are celebrities on the list of gods......

"And the disciples of the Exposition Sect, when facing the disciples of the Sect of Interception, often like to say, when you come to Xiqi, you will inevitably be on the list of gods... These words are nothing to our future generations. There are even compliments...... In the records, this sentence can often make the disciples of the sect angry and unforgiving."

"Yes, that's really the case," Jiang Ling was stunned and held the "God List" and muttered, "Why do they want to avoid the God List?"

"I think," of course, I'm just guessing, "it's because at that time, the earth was already well established, but the heavens were in ruins... Besides, learning a skill, who doesn't want to go beyond the Three Realms and Six Realms, and want to be at ease? If you are on the god list, your name is on the god list. Moreover, the vast majority of Xuanmen disciples are gods after death, and their souls will also be imprisoned by the god list and used in the heavenly .......

"At that time, in fact, many people knew that the gods were the three Qings as the gods of Haotian and expanded the strength of the heavenly court. Therefore, no one wants to be on the god list... After all, cultivation is more about sanctifying a physical body. So if you look at the list of gods, there are very few people who have ascended in the flesh at all, and most of them are primordial gods who have ascended to the god platform, so I suspect that ...... back then."
