Chapter 60: The Gods

I saw a cannon sound in the Zhou camp, and the three armies shouted, and they all wanted to attack the city. King Zhou saw that the situation was gone. He could not help but let him go down to Wufeng Tower, passed Jiujian Hall, and went to Xianqing Hall. After a while, a whirlwind suddenly rolled on the spot, covering King Zhou, causing coldness to penetrate his body.

When King Zhou was about to walk to Zhaixing Tower, he saw a strange wind that was about to come up on the spot. He swallowed and choked in the basin, sobbed and sobbed, and was sobbing with infinite disheveled hair. He was naked and naked, with bloody and foul smell and filthy. He came forward and pulled King Zhou and shouted, "Give me my life back!" Seeing Zhao Qi again, Mei Bo shouted naked: "Your tyrant! You usually have the time to be defeated today!" King Zhou opened his eyes, and the yin energy rushed out, pounced off the ghosts, and the wronged ghosts retreated quietly.

King Zhou shook his sleeves and went up the top floor. He saw Empress Jiang pulling King Zhou and cursing: "The ignorant king of Wudao, killing his wife and children, destroying Yilun. Today you will destroy the country. Where can we see the previous king in the spring?" Empress Jiang was pulling King Zhou and was smearing, but she saw Empress Huang covered in blood and bloody smell, so she also stepped forward to pull it and shouted: "The ignorant king fell downstairs, and I fell down to my bones and broke my body. How can I bear this kind of heart! What a cruel and mean person! Today, the crime is full of evil, and the heaven and earth will be punished!" King Zhou was entangled with two unjust souls and seemed to be drunk. He also saw Mrs. Jia also came forward and cursed: "Your tyrant is rewarded! You deceive your ministers and your wife, and I have made a loyalty to keep the chastity and die. I am so upset that I am so upset. Today, I can vent my hatred!" King Zhou hit his face with a palm.

King Zhou suddenly woke up, opened his eyes and rushed out of the Yang God. How dare the ghost approach? It dispersed. King Zhou went up to the Zhaixing Tower, walked to the Xingjiu Qu railing, silently, and was restless, and he stood on the railing and asked, "Where is the palace official?" The palace official, Guan Sheng, heard King Zhou, hurried up to the Zhaixing Tower, leaned over to the railing, and said, "Your Majesty, I obey the order." King Zhou said, "I regret not listening to the words of the ministers, and was deceived by slander. Now the war is full of disasters, and it is impossible to save it. How can I kill myself? Gu Si is the emperor of the emperor. If the city is broken and the people are caught by the small people, there is no more humiliation. If you want to commit suicide, this body is still left in the world, and you are still thinking of others. It is better to burn yourself, but it is clean, and you should not give your children an excuse. You can take firewood and firewood to pile down the building, and you should burn it with this building. You should be like a lonely life."

After hearing this, Yu Sheng was covered in tears and cried and said, "I have been to Your Majesty for many years, but I have been raised for my mother and I cannot repay my bones. Unfortunately, God did not create a businessman, and the disaster was ruined. I wish I could not repay my country with death, so why dare to raise fire to burn the king!" After saying that, the sob could not be heard.

King Zhou said: "This is because I am destroyed by heaven, and I am not guilty of your crime. If you do not obey the will of the Lone, you will be guilty of disobedience. In the past, I once had a life-saving expense, and I even said to Ji Chang that I would be guilty of burning myself. Today is the destiny of heaven, so how can a person escape? I should listen to the Lone's words!"

After saying that, Zhu Sheng cried and told King Zhou: "Go to comfort yourself and find another way to resolve the siege." King Zhou said angrily: "It's urgent! I have already prepared it. If the princes break through the Wu Gate and kill people in the inner court, once I am captured, your crime is no less than Mount Tai!" Zhu Sheng cried downstairs, went to find firewood and firewood, and piled them downstairs.

Let’s talk about King Zhou’s presence when he saw Wu Sheng going downstairs, he put himself on his robe and crown, held a blue gui in his hand, and sat upright in the building. Wu Sheng piled up firewood and bowed to tears. Only then did he dare to raise the fire and burst into tears.

It was said that when Wu Sheng raised fire, burning dry firewood downstairs, there was smoke rolling up into the sky, the wind was fierce, the fire was fierce, and the people in the six palaces shouted, and the universe was dim, the universe collapsed, ghosts cried, and gods lost their throne. Wu Sheng saw the fire in Zhaixing Tower, which was very fierce. Wu Sheng lifted his clothes and cried several times, shouting: "Your Majesty! I will repay Your Majesty for death!" After saying that, he rushed into the fire. Poor Wu Sheng's loyalty and wise man, but he still knew his death.

King Zhou was on the third floor, and saw the fire rising downstairs and the flames soaring into the sky, and he sighed unconsciously: "I regret not listening to the words of loyal advice. I burn myself to death today, so I am not worthy of my devotion. How can I see the former king in the spring?" I saw the fire taking advantage of the wind and the wind riding the fire. In a moment, the four sides were red and smoke blocked the sky.

It was said that Ziya was in the middle army and the princes to attack the imperial city, but suddenly reported to the middle army: "Qi Dasima: Zhaixing Tower fired." Ziya hurriedly led all the generals, and together with King Wu, Marquis of Dongbo, and Marquis of Beibo, the princes of the world, all came up to the horse and went out of the gate to watch the fire.

King Wu watched immediately and saw a man wearing a yellow robe, a crown and a slap on his head, and a jade gui, sitting upright in the smoke. He was hazy and confused. King Wu asked his left and right, "Is it Emperor Zhou in the smoke?"

The princes replied, "This is the ignorant monarch who is indecent and unpredictable. Today, this is what is said, "it is to be self-inflicted." When King Wu heard this, he covered his face and couldn't bear to look at it, so he returned to the camp.

Ziya hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Why did the king cover his face and return?" King Wu said, "Although King Zhou is unrighteous, he offended the ghosts and gods of heaven and earth. He burned himself to death today, which is a reward for his karma. But you and I are all subordinates and have worked on him in the north. How could you bear to witness his death and be punished for forcing the king? It would be better to return to the camp for convenience."

Jiang Ziya said: "King Zhou did evil, and the thieves were rebellious. The heaven was angry and the people were resentful. Even if Taibai hung the flag, it would not be an exaggeration. Today, he was a crime. But the king could not bear it. This is the king's benevolence, loyalty and love. However, there is still a saying: Cheng Tang used Ren to release Jie in the Nanchao to save the people from water and fire. The world showed him that he had fewer people. Now the king met the princes of the world, followed the heaven to fight and punish the people, and urging the people to attack. It was actually Tang Youguang, so the king would not mind. "The princes returned to the camp with King Wu.

Jiang Ziya led the generals to look at the fire so that they could take the city. The fire became more and more powerful. When the pillars on the roof were burning down, he heard a sound. The Zhaixing Tower collapsed, like the sky and the earth cracked, burying King Zhou in the fire, and instantly turned into ashes. A spirit had entered the Fengshen Platform.

It is said that King Zhou was burned by Zhaixing Tower, and all the princes lived outside the Wu Gate. When they were young, the palace people and the generals of the guards and soldiers in the imperial forest drank water and offered flowers, burned incense and greeted King Wu's carriage, and the princes entered the Jiujian Hall. Jiang Ziya hurriedly sent an order: "Let's save the fire in the palace."

Speaking of which, when King Wu came to Zhaixing Tower, he saw that the remaining fire was still there. The smoke flames were not extinguished, and the burning was so bad that there were innocent palace servants who suffered this great disaster. The remains were still not exhausted and the smell was foul. King Wu felt even more unbearable and hurriedly ordered the soldiers to pick up the remains and bury them, without any orders to be exposed.

He also ordered the bones of King Zhou to be found and buried with the emperor's courtesy.

Let’s talk about the princes coming to Lutai with King Wu. When they got on the stage, they saw the pavilion towering over the clouds, the towers flying in the sky, the pavilions were stacked, the palaces were majestic, carved railings and jade ornaments, and the beams and pillars were decorated with gold. They also saw pearls and treasures, coral jade trees, and the wings were embedded into the jade room of the Qiong Palace, and the embroidered pavilion orchid houses were piled up. From time to time, thousands of auspicious colors appeared, which was so called dazzling and the heart was shaken, and the spirit was chaotic. King Wu pointed his head and sighed: “Son of Emperor Zhou was so extravagant, and he spent his wealth in the world to lose his own desires. How could there be no one who would not lose his body and country!”

Jiang Ziya said: "The reason why those who have lost their lives in ancient times and have never been defeated by luxury is that they have been defeated. Therefore, the Holy King repeatedly reminded those who have given their own virtues and not precious pearls and jades. This is a good thing."

King Wu said: "Now that King Zhou has been destroyed, the princes and the people of the world have suffered the disaster of exploitation by King Zhou, the suffering of poisoning and the trouble of levying taxes. They sit in the water and fire every day, and are uneasy and stand up with the important things. Now it is better to disperse the goods and wealth accumulated in Lutai to the princes and the people, and to gather rice and millet from Juqiao, provide relief to the hungry people, so that all the people can refresh themselves and enjoy the blessing of health for a day."

Jiang Ziya said: "When King Xing said this, it is a blessing for the country to make the people!" King Wu ordered his left and right to spread wealth.

Later, King Wu deposed King Zhou's youngest son Wu Geng and jointly established King Wu Ji Fa as the co-lord of the world. Jiang Ziya hurriedly sent an order, ordered the paintings to create a platform, write a blessing, and announce the world and the country.

It is said that Zhou Gongdan drew a pattern and built a platform in front of the Heaven and Earth. The platform is three levels high, and according to the three talents, it is divided into the shape of the Eight Trigrams. The "position of the Emperor and the Queen of the Earth" is set in the center; the "God of the Mountains, Rivers, and Country" is set up with the "twelve Yuanshen" flags on the left and right, and the Zi, Chou, Yin, Mao, Chen, Si, Wu, Wei, Shen, You, Xu, and Hai are set up in their place; there are the "Ten Stems" flags in front and behind, and Jia, Yi, Bing, Ding, Wu, Ji, Geng, Xin, Ren

Gui stands in its original position; there is "Four Seasons' Direction of God" on the altar: Taihao in spring, Yan Emperor in summer, Shaohao in autumn, Zhuanxu in winter; there is the emperor Xuanyuan in the altar; there is a list of sausages, beans, ci, gui, golden ju, jade sausages, and furnishings in front of the sacrifice, and roasted dried rice, which are arranged in a few tables, fresh, sauce, fish, and meat are set on the table, all of which are ready. I saw the incense-stolen treasure tripod, the flowers were placed in golden vases, and Ziya asked King Wu to go to the altar. King Wu gave in again and again, and then sacrificed to the altar.

Eight hundred princes stood beside each other. Zhou Gongdan held a blessing and went to the stage to read, burned it, and told the end of the world. I saw cigarettes covering the sky and auspicious mists in the sky filled the earth. On the day, the sky was clear and the wind was smooth. It was really a prosperous period, and the peaceful scene naturally came back to the farewell.

The people in Chaosong were crowded and cheered everywhere.

King Wu received the book and Bao, and he was the emperor's throne. He sat down on the south. The music played for three times. The princes came out of the scepter and shouted "Long live" on the mountain. After congratulations, King Wu issued an order to pardon the world. Everyone surrounded King Wu and came to the palace to pay homage to the palace. After the new congratulations, King Wu issued an order to place a nine-dragon mat to have a banquet for eight hundred princes. The king and his ministers were happy. After drinking for several tours, they all felt happy. All officials realized that they had already been deep and said thanks for their gratitude and dispersed. Later generations read history and saw that King Wu had a military uniform and had a harmonious world. The king and his ministers were happy, and wrote poems to chant it.

...

Now that the changes of dynasties in the world have been completed, it is time to be the subject of the deity.

I saw the sun in the sky, the roar was loud, the fragrance was filled with misty, the flags, feathers, and the strong men of yellow turbans came over. The boy of white crane personally brought the talisman to the prime minister's mansion.

It is said that Jiang Ziya welcomed the jade talisman and gold book, and offered it to the incense table. He looked at Yuxu Palace to thank him for his kindness, the Yellow Turban Strongman and the White Crane Boy, and left Jiang Ziya and turned back to Kunlun.

Jiang Ziya personally brought the talisman and fled to Qishan Mountain with the soil. A gust of wind arrived at the Fengshentai. A Qing Fu Shen Baijian came to pick up Ziya. Ziya took the talisman into the Fengshentai, and placed the talisman in the middle, and ordered Wu Ji and Nangong Shi: "Set the Eight Trigrams Paper Banners, suppress the direction and the stalks and branches." He ordered the two of them to lead three thousand men and horses, arranged in five directions. Ziya paid the tray to take a bath, change clothes, pick up incense, and put on the golden cauldron, drink wine and offer flowers, and circled around the platform three times. Ziya worshipped Bi Gaozhi

First, he ordered the Qingfu Shen Bai Jian to wait in the audience. Ziya then read the imperial edict of Yuanshi Tianzun of Yuxu Palace: "The commander of the Taishang Wuji Hunyuan Sect, Yuanshi Tianzun, said: Alas! The roads of immortals and mortals are wide, and they can't be understood without being rich in patriotic actions; the paths of gods and ghosts are divided, so how can they flatter and be treacherous? Even if you accept the energy and refine your body on the island, you have not killed the three corpses, and finally you will be a disaster five hundred years later. You always hold the true one in the mystical gate. If you have not transcended the yang god, you will not be able to go to the appointment of the three thousand Yaochi. Therefore, although you have heard of the ultimate truth, you have not attained Bodhi.

If you have the intention to practice, you have not yet escaped your greed and ignorance; if you have become a saint, you will be unable to get rid of anger. You must accumulate past mistakes and seek disasters. You may be loyal to the country. You may cause disasters due to anger. The cycle of life and death is endless; karma and injustice are chasing, and you will never stop retribution. I am very sympathetic! You will follow the sharp blades and sink into the sea of ​​suffering every day. Although your heart is loyal, you will always wander without support. Jiang Ming still relies on the severity of the disaster and follow the quality of the resources and quality. You and others are appointed as the eight gods, divided into various departments, distributed the circumference of the heavens, inspect the good and evil in the world, and report the merits of the three realms.

Good fortune and good fortune will be carried out by you, and life and death will be detached from now on. On the day of merit, you will move in sequence. You will abide by the rules and do not be selfish and make mistakes, so that you can bring trouble to your relatives, always receive treasure rituals, and always hold silk priests. Therefore, I will be so proud of you!"

After reading the imperial edict, Jiang Ziya placed the talismans on the desk table. He was full of armor, holding the apricot and yellow flag in his left hand and the divine whip in his right hand. He stood in the center and shouted: "Bai Jian can hang the 'Tians' under the platform. All the gods should proceed in sequence and not be blamed."

Bai Jian received the imperial edict and hanged the "Shishen List" under the platform. All the gods came to watch. The top of the list was Bai Jian. Bai Jian saw it, holding the soul-guiding banner in his hand, hurried into the altar and knelt down at the altar, calling Xuan Yuanshi to seal the imperial edict.

Jiang Ziya said: "Now, he was ordered by the Supreme Emperor Yuanshi: Erbaijian was the commander of Emperor Xuanyuan, and he had made great achievements in conquering Chiyou. Unfortunately, he died in Beihai and sacrificed his life to serve the country. His loyalty is commendable! He has always been in decline and is particularly pitiful. Fortunately, he met Jiang Shang as the gods, and his achievements in guarding the Taiwan Strait, and he specially gave him treasure talismans to comfort his loyal soul. Now he was appointed as the chief of the Three Realms, the position of 365 pure and blessed gods. How proud is you!"

Bai Jian was under the altar, in the shadow of the dark wind, holding a Bailing Banner in his hand, looking at the jade order to kowtow and thank him for his gratitude. He saw the wind and clouds surrounded by the altar, and the fragrance fog circling. Bai Jian arrived outside the platform, holding a Bailing Banner in his hand to serve and command.

Jiang Ziya ordered Bai Jian: "Turn Huang Tianhua to the stage to listen to the title." At a moment, the God of Lu Qing used a banner to lead Huang Tianhua to the audience and knelt down to listen to the imperial edict. Jiang Ziya said: "Now, he is the imperial edict of the Supreme Emperor Yuanshi: Huang Tianhua serves his loyalty to the country with his youth, and goes down the mountain to make great contributions, and saves his father as a filial piety. He did not enjoy the honor and sacrifice his life, and his feelings are really painful! He should pay his rewards for his merits, and he specially appointed him as the position of the commander of the three mountains, the main god of the Three Mountains. How proud is!" Huang Tianhua kowtowed under the altar and thanked him and left the altar.

...

Jiang Ziya had finished his seal of 365 gods, and only saw the gods go to their hands and take charge. At a time, the wind was over and the miserable fog was clear, the red sun was in the sky, and the gentle wind was rippling.

King Wu ruled the world for fifty years, ruled with arches and ruled the country, and the people were happy. Then King Wu flew to the heavenly court, ascended the throne of the North God Emperor Ziwei, and held the stars in the sky. He was called Lu Ya, who was welcomed back to the heavenly court and became the Jade Emperor, Lu Ya, who was named the Emperor Shangguan of Gou Chen, who ruled against all kinds of thunders, Taiyi Zhenren of Dongji Qinghua, who ruled against all kinds of spirits, the immortal emperor of the South God, and Chengtian, who ruled against all the land, followed the example of Houtu Emperor Dijie, and was called Liuyu.
