The Investiture of the Gods

More than 3,000 years ago, in the Central Plains of China, there was an earth-shattering conflict between the Shang and Zhou Dynasties. It coincided with the birthday of the great goddess Nuwa. In the smoke, King Zhou discovered that the statue of Nuwa was lifelike, and it was actually a stunningly beautiful woman he had never seen before. The lustful King Zhou immediately fell in love with Nuwa and wrote a love poem to court Nuwa. He also offered a plan to let King Zhou select beautiful women from all over the world to enter the palace. King Zhou believed the slander and knew that Su Daji, the daughter of Su Hu, the Marquis of Jizhou, one of the four princes, was extremely beautiful. He ordered Su Hu to send his daughter to the palace as soon as possible.

In the Chaoge Palace, the vixen who transformed into Daji came forward bathed in sunshine. She was graceful, charming and gorgeous, with peerless appearance. The lustful King Zhou was so shocked and fascinated that he completely obeyed her words in a few words. Su Hu watched with cold eyes and was shocked when he discovered that his "daughter" suddenly changed her temperament. After Daji entered the palace, King Zhou couldn't wait to carry her to bed, strip off her clothes, and take possession of her. Afterwards, King Zhou and Su Daji indulged themselves in the palace, singing and dancing every day. King Zhou indulged himself in wine and sex, which sapped his heroic ambition and began to neglect government affairs.

Clouds are gathering over Chaoge City, and everyone, civil and military, is in danger; at the same time, the disciples of the Chan and Jie sects are holding a century-old meeting of immortals. The two sect leaders of Yuanshi Tongtian talked about the appearance of evildoers in Chaoge. He decided to send a capable disciple down the mountain to conquer the goblin. Yuanshi fell in love with the kind-hearted and honest old disciple Jiang Ziya. Ziya's junior brother Shen Gongbao had evil intentions. Hearing that those who came down the mountain would enjoy wealth in the world in the future, he strongly requested his master to send him there. Yuanshi used the Heavenly Book to test out the difference between Ziya and Shen Gongbao's mind, and finally decided to send Ziya down the mountain and grant Ziya the most precious Heavenly Book in Yuxu Palace.

Daji finally died, and King Zhou was grief-stricken and guarded her soul day and night. Shen Gongbao suddenly appeared, destroyed the demon-slaying sword, and rescued Daji in time. After Daji came back from the dead, her heart became even more vicious. In order to please Daji, King Zhou insisted on punishing Meibo by cannon, regardless of the begging of his ministers. Seeing this miserable situation, Prime Minister Shang Rong had a premonition that the Shang Dynasty was over. He was disheartened and asked King Zhou to retire and return home. King Zhou and Daji spent the whole night singing and dancing in the palace.

Queen Jiang firmly denied that the assassin was ordered by her. King Zhou was so stunned by Daji that he didn't care about the love between husband and wife. In order to force Queen Jiang to confess, one of her eyes was gouged out while she was still alive. When Jiang Huan was escorted to Queen Jiang and confronted with her, he still insisted that the Queen sent him to assassinate her. The two princes received an urgent report from the guards and rushed back in panic. Queen Jiang died with hatred after seeing her son for the last time. Yin Jiao beheaded Jiang Huan in a rage, and threatened to kill King Zhou and Daji to avenge his mother.

King Zhou was afraid that the news of Queen Jiang's death would trigger the rebellion of Dongbohou, so he ordered the summons of Dongbohou and Xibohou to come to court and sing. Ji Chang picked up a baby on the way here and recognized him as his hundredth son. Later, the immortal Yun Zhongzi came down to earth, accepted the child as his disciple and named him Lei Zhenzi. Dong Bohou learned the news of his daughter's death from Huang Feihu. He was filled with grief and anger. He cursed King Zhou for his lack of justice in the court, and was brutally beaten by King Zhou.

Jiang Wenhuan, son of Dong Bohou, rebelled in order to avenge his father. King Zhou ordered Li Jing, the commander-in-chief of Chentangguan, to step up military training and take strict precautions. On the day Li Jing was appointed, his wife, who was three years and six months pregnant, also gave birth to a round flesh ball. In panic, Li Jing split open the meat ball with his sword, but out of it jumped out a lively and cute little boy who could talk as soon as he landed on the ground. Taiyi Zhenren of Jinguang Cave in Qianyuan Mountain came to visit and accepted the child as his disciple, naming him "Nezha".

Jiang Ziya realized that Daji was also the incarnation of a monster and informed King Zhou. King Zhou was furious and ordered his men to capture Jiang Ziya. Ziya finally gave up on the Shang Dynasty and King Zhou and fled away. Ziya found Song Yiren, his old friend before he went to the mountain to practice Taoism, and temporarily stayed in his home. Yiren is a warm-hearted person. Knowing that Ziya is still unmarried in his late eighties, he takes it upon himself to propose to the 68-year-old Miss Ma on his behalf. Ziya is in trouble.

Jiang Ziya couldn't bear the evil wife at home anymore, so he said goodbye to Song Yiren and went to live in seclusion in Xiqi. At this time, Ji Chang had been imprisoned in Chaoge City for seven years. Boyikao missed his father and decided to entrust all affairs of Xiqi to Ji Fa. He took several precious treasures to Chaoge, hoping to exchange the treasures for his father's safe return. Boyikao entered Chaoge and met Queen Zhou. On Lutai, Boyikao played a qin song. Daji was deeply fascinated by her elegance and elegance. Chang'e has loved boys since ancient times, but it turns out that the succubus also loves boys. Daji's excuse to learn the piano was actually flirting. Boyikao was still pregnant and turned a blind eye to her all kinds of flattery, which made Daji angry.

Lei Zhenzi, the adopted son Ji Chang met on his way to Chaoge, had grown into a boy with strong martial arts skills. Yun Zhongzi figured out that Ji Chang was in trouble at this moment, and planned to send Lei Zhenzi down the mountain to rescue him. Lei Zhenzi was ordered by his master to search for weapons that fit his hand. He couldn't find the weapons but found delicious apricots. He swallowed them greedily and turned into a strange man with yellow hair, blue face and wings on his back. When Yun Zhongzi saw this, he put his hands on his hands and smiled, and ordered him to fly quickly to save his father.

King Zhou was happy for a moment and casually agreed to let Jichang return to Xiqi. Afterwards, with Daji's persuasion, he realized something was wrong and sent a large team of people to chase him. At the most dangerous moment, Lei Zhenzi appeared in time and knocked down half of the mountain with a single blow, causing the pursuers to flee without a fight. Lei Zhenzi flew out of the five levels with his father on his back, bid farewell to his father in tears and returned to Zhongnan Mountain. The dignified Xibohou actually fell to the point of freeloading on his own territory. Ji Chang set up the memorial tablet of Boyikao in the palace to commemorate his beloved son. Later, thinking of Queen Jiang, Shang Rong, Mei Bo, Du Yuanxian and others, they decided to build a spiritual platform in Xiqi to commemorate these unjust souls who died. Xiqi soldiers and civilians spontaneously came to help.

Ji Sui lied and claimed that he saw Ji Fa and Qingjun having a private meeting on the spiritual platform. The damage to the spiritual platform was the result of God's anger. The only way to calm down the war was to kill Qingjun and sacrifice him alive to God. Ji Fa couldn't bear it and proposed that he would only eat vegetarian food and practice Qing for one month instead. Taiji asked Qingjun about her life experience, and Ji Chang found out that she was the daughter of Shang Rong. Fortunately, she did not do anything stupid. Qingjun took the opportunity to ask to visit Ji Fa. The two looked at each other, and began to feel affection for each other. Shen Gongbao's flying head technique was broken by the Antarctic Immortal, and he ran away in panic. Nanjixiao told Ji Chang and his party that the time has not come yet, and the wise man will not appear for the time being.

The Lutai under the charge of Chonghou Hu, the Marquis of Beibo, was renovated today. King Zhou held a banquet on it for his ministers. It was indeed beautiful and magnificent. During the dinner, King Zhou remembered what Daji had said that day: "On the day Lutai is built, there will be gods coming." Then he asked Daji when the immortal would come, but Daji hesitated vaguely. That night, Daji returned to the Fox Cave to summon the demon sisters and let them transform into gods and come to the banquet. On the night of the full moon, a group of demons came as promised. Because they were too drunk, they showed their ugly appearance after drinking a few more drinks. As the hostess, Bigan saw the fox tails exposed from the soles of the feet of all the "fairies" and realized that the people he had just toasted were actually a group of foxes. He was shocked and annoyed.

In order to save Daji, King Zhou forced Bigan to commit suicide. Bigan angrily cut out his sincere heart and threw it to King Zhou. With the help of the talisman given by Ziya back then, he barely managed to maintain his vitality. His face was pale and he staggered out. On the way, he met a woman selling spinach. Bigan stepped forward and asked what happened if she had no heart. The woman replied, "If you don't care, you will die." Ziya's spiritual talisman was broken, and Bigan died of hatred. Daji showed her true body and laughed and walked away. Feihu Jizi and Weizi waited for a group of loyal and righteous ministers to arrive on flying horses, but they could never bring back the old prime minister's heroic spirit. The grand master Wen Zhong happened to be returning from the expedition and was surprised to ask what happened. After learning about Bigan's death, he was so sad that he almost fainted.

Although Chong Heihu, the younger brother of Chonghou Hu, was very dissatisfied with King Zhou, he reluctantly went into battle in order to protect his brother. Unfortunately, the gap between him and Ziya's Taoist practice is not a small step. Ziya knew that Heihu was a loyal man and released him readily. Heihu was deeply moved and returned to camp to persuade his brother to come to Xiqi to surrender. It turned out that Chonghou Hu pretended to surrender and came to assassinate King Wen at night. Fortunately, Ji Fa exposed his conspiracy. After all, King Wen was already old. After this fright, he became seriously ill and was bedridden for many days. Shen Gongbao sneaked into the cell to meet Bo'an Ji Sui, and instigated Bo'an to go out secretly when King Wen was seriously ill, and stole Ji Fa's robe. Shen Gongbao did this to Ji Fa's clothes. Ji Fa had a splitting headache and fainted on the altar.

On New Year's Day, all officials' families are required to go to the harem to pay homage to the queen. When Huang Feihu's wife, Mrs. Jia, came to pay her respects, Daji hated Huang Feihu for killing her sister. While coaxing Mr. Jia into going to the Star-Zhaing Tower, she secretly sent someone to call King Zhou. As expected by Da Ji: King Zhou coveted Jia's beauty and intended to be frivolous towards her. Unable to bear the humiliation, Jia jumped off the building and committed suicide. Huang Feihu's sister, Huang Fei, knew that her sister-in-law died tragically, and angrily came to scold King Zhou and Daji. During the fight with Daji, she accidentally slapped King Zhou. King Zhou was so angry that he picked up Huang Fei and threw her down from the Zhaixing Tower, killing her alive.

Huang Feihu returned to Chaoge and started a fierce battle with the five gate guards.

Nezha helped Huang Feihu pass the customs and then said goodbye and returned to the mountain. After hearing that Zhongzou Kai returned to the court, he learned that Feihu had returned to the court song and advised King Zhou to learn from him, so he sent Chao Tian and Chao Lei to Xiqi to spy on the military situation.

Jiang Ziya burned incense to ask for help, and Taiyi Zhenren sent Nezha down the mountain to help. The two armies fought again. Nezha was the incarnation of a lotus and had no soul. Zhang Guifang and Feng Lin were defeated in front of him. The Shang army invited demons to help out. The expelled Bo'an learned that the Shang army had the upper hand, and took the initiative to join the Shang army, expressing his willingness to cooperate with the Shang army internally and externally, and to inherit Xibohou himself. Bo'an disguised the assassin as a civilian husband, pretended to be seriously ill and was about to die, and was taken back to Zhou Palace. That night, the assassins brought by Bo'an attacked, and King Wu and Qingjun hurriedly responded.

Due to Qingjun's rescue, King Wu was rescued by the army who came to escort him, but Qingjun was held hostage by assassins. Zhou Jun was afraid of hurting the queen, so he had no choice but to allow Bo'an and the assassins to take Qingjun away. The next day the two armies faced each other, and the Shang army escorted Qing Jun to the front of the army to threaten him. During the melee, Jiang Ziya was knocked down and taken away by the Shang army. That night Nezha asked Ying to sneak into the Shang army camp. Qingjun was tied to a pillar in the tent. Bo'an wanted to commit indecent assault after being scolded for teasing him. Nezha rescued Qingjun, killed Bo'an in the fight, and took Jiang Ziya's body away... Lu Xiong's troops marched to the west. Jiang Ziya won with snow attack.

The four generals of the Demon Family helped Wen Zhong. Nezha secretly try to rescue his brother. Mo Liqing planned to burn down Xiqi City. Fortunately, Jiang Ziya noticed it early and borrowed water from the North Sea to protect the city. Yang Jian volunteered and went out to investigate the enemy's situation. On the way, he encountered Mo Lishou who was ambushing him. Only then did they realize that this Taoist with a clear appearance had extraordinary powers. The four generals of the Demon Family did not know that the "Flower Fox and Marten" in their hands was actually the incarnation of Yang Jian, and they even considered letting the Flower Fox and Marten into the Zhou camp to eat Ji Fa and Jiang Ziya. Yang Jian took advantage of the situation and carried out an undercover operation in the commercial business as Huahu Diao.

Shen Gongbao spared no effort to lobby for reinforcements for the survival of the Shang Dynasty, and this time he found Zhao Gongming in Luofu Cave in Mount Emei. Zhao Gongming borrowed the super magic weapon Hunyuan Jindou from his three sisters and came to Wen Zhong to help out. While Zhao Gongming was setting up the Ten Jue formations, he advocated "capture the thief first, capture the king", and used this method to take away Jiang Ziya's soul.

The formation that the Three Immortals are best at is called the Enchanting Formation. To put it more realistically, it is the Beauty Formation. Huang Feihu, the three Nezha brothers, Yang Jian and even the Antarctic Immortal have all become on-site explanations of the so-called "Heroes are saddened by beauty". Tianhua was concerned about his father's safety and took the risk to break into the formation, but miraculously became the only lucky person to escape from the formation unscathed.

The Shang army was defeated and retreated to Juelong Ridge. Wen Zhong was horrified when he remembered his master's prophecy when he came down the mountain, "You will never see a word Jue in your life." On the distant hilltop, Ji Fa and Jiang Ziya set up a banquet, drinking while admiring Wen Zhong's appearance. Mo Liqing struggled to the death and planned to kidnap King Wu to blackmail Xiqi into retreating. Lei Zhenzi arrived just in time and rescued his brother. Wen Zhong was unwilling to surrender and committed suicide. The poor souls of a generation of heroes were cut off from Longling, and the last pillar of the Shang Dynasty finally collapsed.

Deng Jiugong used the plan, but Jiang Ziya used the plan instead. Tu Xingsun let go of Deng Chanyu desperately, and Deng Chanyu went to save his father regardless of his own strength. The father and daughter were captured again.

In front of King Wu, Tu Xingsun admitted that he released Deng Chanyu privately and was willing to die. Deng Chanyu was deeply moved and finally recognized her husband. On the wedding night, Deng Jiugong surrendered with his daughter under Jiang Ziya's persuasion. Su Hu and Mrs. Su met Bigan and Queen Jiang respectively in their dreams and told them that the current "Daji" was the incarnation of the vixen. Su Hu hurriedly entered the palace the next day and asked to see King Zhou to tell him the secret. King Zhou refused to believe it.

Shen Gongbao also brought a Jie Jiao disciple named Hu Sheng to King Zhou. The two former princes have now grown up and are ordered by their master to go down the mountain to assist Jiang Ziya. The two brothers went to pay homage to Queen Jiang's grave. Remembering that their mother's blood feud had not yet been avenged, they became passionate and decided to return to Chaoge to assassinate Daji, King of Zhou, to avenge their mother.

Yin Hong was injured and fled to an old temple and passed out. When he woke up, he found a gentle and beautiful strange woman in front of him taking good care of him. Yin Hong's relationship with the woman progressed rapidly, but he still dared not forget his mission to go down the mountain. After their injuries improved, the two said goodbye in tears. Yin Jiao was appointed the general marshal of the expedition against Xiqi by King Zhou. In the middle of the night, Yin Hong sneaked into the camp to find his brother. When the brothers met for the first time, there was a surprise. However, the more they talked, the more they realized that they didn't make sense. Yin Hong couldn't persuade his brother, so he went to Xiqi alone. Ziya was shocked when he heard that Yin Jiao had betrayed him and that the Yin Yang Mirror was in Yin Jiao's hands. The Yin-Yang Mirror is indeed extremely powerful, and it killed Chao Tian, ​​Chao Lei, Deng Chanyu and others as soon as it came on stage.

Jiang Ziya asked Yin Jiao's master Guang Chengzi to come down the mountain, but Yin Jiao, who was greedy for profit, believed that he had the yin and yang mirror in his hands, and even his master ignored him. Guangchengzi bid farewell to King Wu and set out to find a magic weapon that could restrain the Yin and Yang Mirror. Hu Sheng died under the Qiankun Circle. Yin Jiao advanced step by step, planning to kill Jiang Ziya. Once again, Ziya's life should not have been cut off - Guang Chengzi arrived in time and included Yin Jiao in the Tai Chi diagram.

After Yin Hong came to Youhun Pass, he was shocked to realize that Dou Rong's daughter Dou Fengzhen was actually the woman with whom he had a close heart in the past. The two reunited after a long absence, and they had a lot of tender feelings to express to each other. Mrs. Dou smiled in her eyes and couldn't wait to propose marriage to Yin Hong, dreaming of becoming the queen's mother in the future. The Holy Mother of Fire Spirit lost to Xiqi's wheel battle and was finally beaten back to her original shape.

Seeing his disciples being beaten back one by one and sent back to their original state, Master Tongtian finally took out the highest magic weapon of Jiejiao - the four swords of Zhuxian, Trapping Immortal, Punching Immortal and Juexian, and set up a murderous "Zhuxian Formation" . The magic weapon Gao Lanying, the wife of Zhang Kui, the general of Chi County, was so powerful that Jin Zha and Mu Zha had their souls taken away by it during the battle and fell into the hands of the enemy.

Huang Feihu took a detour to attack Mianchi County and met Gao Lanying. Gao Lanying sneaked into Huang Feihu and killed Huang Feihu with a golden needle. Huang Feihu's body was returned to Zhou camp, and all the soldiers in the camp burst into tears.

Yu Ding gave instructions to Yang Jian. There was the rumbling sound of the waterfall, and even the gentle ears couldn't hear what they were talking about. After Yang Jian returned to the camp, he secretly conveyed the master's wishes to Ziya, and the two sides split up: on this side, Yang Jian and Nezha led the demons in a big circle; on the other side, Ziya took the opportunity to use red flags and giant drums to destroy the magic power of the clairvoyant eyes and wind ears. , and used talismans to suppress them physically and mentally. Without the power of clairvoyance and ears, the three Meishan monsters could only stand still and wait for the other four sworn brothers to come for reinforcements.

After completing their training, the Meishan monster came to Zhouying to cause trouble. Although it was a sneak attack, it seemed that they could not get any advantage. The only gain was to chop off Yang Jian's head and come back to show his merit. In a great battle, the merchant army was defeated and fled, and all seven monsters were killed.

King Zhou felt extremely depressed after hearing the news of the disastrous defeat on the front line. He rushed back to the palace and was furious at Daji and Ximei, who seemed to be carefree. King Zhou pinned his last hope on the so-called "immortals". Unfortunately, the entire fox hole was burned down and asked Daji to summon a group of immortals from somewhere. With the thought of being drunk and dreaming of death, getting drunk will relieve a thousand worries, but God is not willing to give him even this last bit of rights. For these two women, he did not hesitate to kill his beloved wife, son, loyal ministers, and good generals. He sacrificed his entire country for them. In the end, I realized that they were just two fairies. The last fatuous emperor of the Shang Dynasty and the last loyal minister fell together in the blazing fire of Lutai. The Shang Dynasty, which lasted for more than 600 years, was officially declared dead.

With the help of Nuwa, Yang Jian and Nezha successfully captured the two banshees, Daji and Hu Ximei. Su Daji and Hu Ximei are charming and beautiful, but they cannot escape death after all. Jiang Ziya looked at the sky in the distance, feeling lost: Did I come down the mountain just for my own wealth and glory? Ziya was about to return the divine whip to Yuanshi Tianzun, but Yuanshi's voice came from the sky. Although you are not a god, all the gods in the world are under your jurisdiction. As long as you, Taigong Jiang, are in the world, there will be no taboos in this bright world. Ziya stroked the divine whip with his hand and smiled, vowing to guard the gate of heaven forever so that the people of the world would always enjoy peace.
