Chapter 374: King Zhou offers incense and three demons enter the world

King Zhou was the third son of Emperor Yi. During his reign, Emperor Yi had three sons: the eldest son Wei Ziqi, the second son Wei Ziyan, and the third son King Shou. It was once heard that Emperor Yi was visiting the imperial garden, leading civil and military officials to enjoy the peonies, and found that a beam in Feiyun Pavilion had collapsed. King Shou had replaced the beam with a pillar, which was extremely powerful. Prime Minister Shang Rong, senior officials Mei Bo, Zhao Qi and others saw this and Jun and Emperor Yi originally established the East Palace, but instead established the third son, King Shou, as the crown prince.

Then Emperor Yi died after reigning for thirty years. King Gu Shou and Taishi Wen Zhong were entrusted, and King Shou was appointed as the emperor, named King Zhou. Wen Zhong has the Taishi Wen Zhong, and Wu has the power to control the country and Wucheng Wang Huang Feihu. It should be said that Wen is enough to stabilize the country, and Wu is enough to rule the country. The original concubine of the middle palace, the empress Jiang, the west concubine Huang, the Xinqing concubine Yang, and the concubines of the three palaces were all chaste, quiet, gentle and virtuous, and King Zhou reigned supreme in the world.

At that time, although the external rebellion continued, all the people in the Shang territory were happy and prosperous, the weather was smooth, the country was peaceful and the people were peaceful, the barbarians were surrendered, and the guests from all directions were subdued. There are also eight hundred town princes who are all in the Shang Dynasty. There are four great princes who lead eight hundred small princes. Dongbohou Jiang Huanchu lives in Donglu; Nanbohou E Chongyu, Xibohou Jichang, and Beibohou Chonghou Hu. Each of the princes in the town is responsible for 200 small princes, and a total of 800 princes in the town belong to merchants.

In the spring and February of the seventh year of King Zhou's reign, he suddenly reported to the imperial court that the seventy-two princes of Beihai, Yuan Futong, etc., were notified.

One day, King Zhou came to the palace early in the morning to gather civil and military officials. But I saw: There were many auspicious clouds, and the king was sitting in the Jinluan Palace; the auspicious light was lingering, and the civil and military officials were at the front of the white jade steps. When the golden furnace is sprayed with sandalwood, you can see the pearls curled up high; orchid and musk deer cage the precious fan, and you can see the pheasant's tail is low. It has a good imperial atmosphere, which is very different from the simplicity before Wu Ding Dynasty, showing luxury.

Seeing hundreds of civil and military officials standing in the court, King Zhou sang loudly as an officer: "If there is a memorial, leave the squad, if there is nothing, the court will disperse." Before the words were finished, only one person from the right squad came out of the squad, fell down on the golden steps, held up the tooth wat, and Shan Hu addressed his ministers and said: "I am willing to treat the guilty prime minister, and I am in charge of the court. I dare not fail to report anything. Tomorrow is March 15th, the Christmas day of Empress Nuwa. Your Majesty, please come to Nuwa Palace to offer incense!" The king said: "What merits does Nuwa have? I am going to send incense in a light car."

Shang Rong also reported: "Nuwa is the goddess of God. She is an ancient saint with holy virtues. I once heard that at that time, the head of Gonggong, the great god, touched Buzhou Mountain. The sky tilted to the northwest and the earth sank to the southeast. Nuwa picked the five colors. The stone is used to mend the blue sky; therefore, it has done a good job for the people, and the common people of Li will pay tribute to this blessed saint, so that the four seasons will be prosperous, the weather will be smooth, and the disasters will disappear. , Your Majesty should go and pay homage!”

After King Zhou heard this, he felt that what Shang Rong said was reasonable. For such a great sage to pay incense, he would be able to protect his dynasty from eternal peace, so he said: "Zhun Qing's memorial!"

After the court, King Zhou returned to the palace and ordered the palace officials to issue decrees and sing court songs. The next day, King Xu took a chariot and took two groups of civil and military officials to the Nuwa Palace to offer incense.

This time, it was a good thing that King Zhou didn't come; just because of the incense, it caused desolation all over the world and the people lost their jobs. As the saying goes: "The hook and line are removed from the river, and the right and wrong are fished out from now on." There is a poem to prove it: "The emperor Luanyu came out of Fengcheng, the auspicious color of the jingle reflected the hairpin; the dragon's sword spit out the color of the wind and clouds, and the red feather banner shook The sun and the moon are fine. The willows on the embankment are blooming with fairy dew, and the flowers on the stream are shining green and clear. If you want to know, you can look up to the sky, and all the nations will wear their hats and pay homage to the Holy Ming."

At this time, it was six hundred years after the Seven Saints and Zixiao Palace agreed on the list of gods, and the Shang Dynasty was about to be exhausted. God wanted to take this opportunity to cause a great catastrophe. The war of gods, anointing gods on behalf of heaven, suppressing the three realms.

Besides, King Zhou drove out from the south gate of Chaoge. When the emperor left the palace, every family burned incense and set up a table, and every household laid colorful banners and carpets. There were three thousand cavalry and eight thousand royal guards accompanying the emperor. King Wucheng Huang Feihu led the army to escort him, and the entire dynasty was accompanied by civil and military officials. After arriving at Nuwa Palace, King Zhou left his chariot and went to the palace. The palace officials burned incense and offered it in front of King Zhou.

After worshiping the incense, I saw purple smoke curling up into the sky from the incense burner, and the dense purple air filled the Nuwa Palace. After seeing King Zhou worshiping incense, all the civil and military officials bowed down to congratulate him. After the ritual officer recited the sacrificial inscription, he placed it in front of the incense case. There was a colorful clay statue directly above the incense case, which was the incarnation of Nuwa.

This Nuwa building is magnificent, the front of the main hall is extremely gorgeous, with five-colored gold; the golden boys hold the sacred banners opposite each other, and the beautiful girls both hold blessings. Attached to the left and right sides of the statue of Nuwa, there are jade hooks hanging diagonally and half a crescent moon hanging in the air. The treasure tent is whirling, and thousands of pairs of colorful luan are fighting against each other. Beside the blue bed, there are dancing cranes and flying luan; the agarwood throne creates flying dragons and flying phoenixes. The fluttering colors are unusual, the golden furnace is full of auspicious mist, the curling purple mist is auspicious, and the silver candle is brilliant.

King Zhou was looking at the beautiful scenery of Nuwa Palace, and he couldn't help but feel relaxed. Suddenly a strong wind blew, flying sand and rocks. The guards formed a chaotic formation, and the civil and military officials covered their faces with their hands. After a while, the strong wind dissipated, and there was a mess everywhere outside Nuwa Palace. Seeing this, the ceremony officer quickly ordered the guards to clean up the palace so as not to make the shrine miserable.

This gust of wind came and went quickly. After the strong wind passed, King Zhou looked at the palace again and saw that the palace was neat and tidy and the pavilions were luxuriant. Suddenly a breeze penetrated into the palace, rolled up the curtains, and revealed the statue of Nuwa, with a beautiful appearance and auspicious colors. The national color. The appearance of the sky is as if a fairy from the Rui Palace has come to earth, and Chang'e from the Moon Palace has descended into the world.

There is an old saying: "When a country is about to prosper, there must be auspiciousness; when a country is about to perish, there must be monsters." When King Zhou saw Nuwa's true appearance at first sight, he felt his soul wandering, and suddenly became lustful, and secretly thought to himself: "I am noble. As the emperor, he is rich all over the world. Even though he has six courtyards and three palaces, there is nothing like this." Thinking of this, he ordered his internal officials to get the four treasures from the study, and the attendants hurriedly presented them to King Zhou.

King Zhou's purple hair was deep and moist, and when he saw an empty space on the pink wall of the palace, he took up his pen and wrote a poem: "The scene in Feng Luan Bao's tent is very beautiful, full of gold and gold, the winding mountains are flying green, and the sleeves are dancing gracefully reflecting the clouds." . The pear blossoms are beautiful in the rain, and the peony cage is full of smoke. But if you have to be enchanting, you can take back Changle to serve the king."

After King Zhou finished writing this poem, he recited it softly again. He felt that this poem had never been written by anyone before, and even later people could not compare it with him. He couldn't help but feel very proud.

Shang Rong, who was following King Zhou behind him, was shocked when he saw that King Zhou was so rude and dared to tease the saint with his poems. He quickly bowed to King Zhou and said: "How can your majesty insult the saint like this? Empress Nuwa is the emperor." The righteous god of antiquity, the blessed Lord of Chaoge. Your Majesty did not intend to offend the gods and bring disaster to our dynasty. I originally asked you to burn incense and pray for good fortune, so that all the people will be happy, the rain will be smooth, and the war will calm down. Your Majesty has written a poem today that insults the Holy Ming and shows no sincerity in piety. It is a sin against the Holy Spirit and is not a gift from the Emperor to pray for. May the Lord wash it with water in order to sincerely sin against oneself, but I am afraid that the people of the world will see it and spread the word that the Holy One has no mercy. De Zheng Er!”

King Zhou was just composing a poem. He listened to Shang Rong's sermon and did not get angry with him. He smiled at Shang Rong and said disapprovingly: "I see that Nuwa's appearance is peerless. Because she composed the poem. There is nothing wrong with praising her. You don’t need to say anything! Kuang Gu is the venerable person of thousands of generations. It can be seen that the empress is so beautiful that she is also the legacy of Gu."

After saying this, all the civil and military officials in the same court nodded silently. No one dared to say anything, and they all went back with their mouths shut.

King Zhou's move was seen by all the saints. Mingyu of Yingtai Mountain was wandering in the sky, and suddenly his soul was shaken. He really discovered that Zhou had blasphemed the saint with a poem. He couldn't help but shook his head and sighed: "The phoenix chariot and the dragon horse came out of the imperial capital, and I burned incense and prayed." The female is Chinese and English; she only knows how to pray for the happiness of the people, but how could she expect that the fox is the Queen Mother, and the jackals and tigers in front of her are all like this, which makes the heroes sigh again! Close your eyes and let your soul travel. This matter will be handled by Nuwa, but it is not easy for others to interfere.

It is said that after King Zhou paid homage to the incense, he drove back to the palace and ascended to the Longde Hall. The people paid their respects and dispersed. At the time of Wangchen, three concubines from the three palaces came to court the king: Empress Jiang in the middle palace, Concubine Huang in the west palace, and Concubine Yang in the Xinqing palace.

Let's talk about the birth of Empress Nuwa. On March 15th, she went to Huoyun Palace to congratulate the three holy emperors Fuxi, Shennong and Xuanyuan. Passing outside Chaoge City, I saw a red light rising into the sky, with Ziwei Zhenqi participating in it. Although the Qi image was extraordinary, it was on the verge of collapse, and the Qi was about to be exhausted at that time.

Just as she was about to go around, she saw a divine palace below, which was vaguely connected to her soul. She couldn't help but laugh and said to Qingluan, "This Shang Dynasty is about to lose its power, but it also knows etiquette. There is no trace of etiquette here." Zizhen Qi is soaring, the national destiny is pulsating, and my palace is located here. I will wait for a while and then return to the Wa Palace. "

After saying that, he went down to Qingluan and entered the treasure hall. He waited until the Jade Girl and the Golden Boy finished paying their respects. Empress Nuwa suddenly raised her head and saw the poems on the pink wall. She couldn't help but cursed angrily: "Yin Zhou was an unruly and ignorant king! He didn't want to cultivate his moral character to protect the world. But now he doesn't fear God and recites poems to slander me. How abominable!" I want to be like Tang who defeated Jie and ruled the world for more than 600 years. I am exhausted. If I don’t repay him, I will not see my sacred power.”

Then he called the Bixia boy to the palace and rode on the blue clouds to go to the court without mentioning the song.

Let us say that King Zhou had two highnesses, Yin Jiao and Yin Hong, who came to visit their father. Later, Yin Jiao was in Tai Sui's year on the list of gods, and Yin Hong was the god of grains. They were both named general gods. During the ceremony, two red lights shot into the sky.

When Nuwa was walking, she was blocked by the red gas. I was puzzled, so I took a look and saw the two princes of King Zhou. Their faces were extraordinary. After some calculations, I realized that King Zhou still had twenty-eight years of good fortune. Immortals and gods could not make mistakes, so they would not compete with Zhou. The king is now worried and returns to the palace temporarily.

After returning to Wa's palace, Nuwa felt even more displeased when she thought about how rude King Zhou was. Call Caiyun Tong'er to fetch the golden gourd from the palace, place it under the Danqi, lift the cover of the gourd, and point with your hand. There is a white light in the gourd, which is as big as a rafter and more than ten thousand feet high. Above the white light, a sacred flag hangs. The light is divided into five colors and reflects thousands of streaks. There is a name on the flag: "Attracting Demons."

This flag is made from a gourd picked from the innate gourd vine of Buzhou Mountain by Empress Nuwa. It is an innate magic weapon. After the demon-beckoning flags were put out, within a short time, there was a sad wind, mist, mist, and clouds all around. A few moments after the wind passed, all the demons from the world came to the Wa Palace to listen to the decree.

The empress ordered the fairies to retreat with the demons everywhere, leaving only the three demons in Xuanyuan's tomb to serve. Three demons entered the palace to pay homage. When they saw Nuwa, they knelt on the ground and said, "The empress' holy life is boundless." One of the three demons was a thousand-year-old fox spirit, one was a nine-headed pheasant spirit, and the other was a jade pipa spirit. They all had thousands of years of Taoism. Among them, the vixen has the deepest roots. He is a descendant of the nine-tailed fox clan in the demon clan's heaven.

The three demons fell down on Danqi, and Nuwa Empress spoke to them: "Three demons listen to my secret decree! Chengtang's luck is depressing, and he will lose the world; here is the Fengming Qishan, and the Zhou Dynasty will be prosperous. Now that the Holy Lord has been born in the Western Zhou Dynasty, God's will has been Determination, this is due to the number of Qi. The three demons can hide themselves in the palace and confuse the king's mind. When King Wu succeeds in defeating Zhou, they must not harm all living beings, so that you can also achieve righteousness and rank. "Xianque."

After the Empress Nuwa finished her instructions, the three demons kowtowed and thanked her, "The little demon respects the Imperial Majesty's decree and will definitely make King Zhou end his country's fate!" After saying this, they turned into a breeze and left. This is exactly: "The fox listened to the order and cast a magic spell, which ruined his life for six hundred years."

When Nuwa saw the three demons leaving after listening to the order, she couldn't help but smile knowingly and said: "In the middle of March, I went to Xiangxi and recited a poem to take off. I only know how to use my pen to apply my talents and learning, but I don't know that the country will be destroyed."

Empress Nuwa ordered the three demons not to mention anything. It is also said that King Zhou saw the beauty of Nuwa after offering incense. He thought about it day and night, forgot about the cold and heat, and did not sleep or eat. Every time he saw the Sixth Courtyard and the Third Palace, it was like dirt, rice and dust, and he could not bear to look at it. He would not worry about this matter in the end. Huai, depressed and unhappy.

One day, the emperor drove to the Xianqing Hall, accompanied by Chang. King Zhou suddenly made a sudden move, and Fei Zhong, the official who was admonished by Yu Xuanzhong, was King Zhou's lucky minister. Recently, the master heard that Zhong Feng ordered to pacify the Beihai Sea, and went on an expedition with a large number of troops and made meritorious service outside Xu. Therefore, King Zhou favored Fei Zhong and You Hun more and more.

These two people often went to court to bewitch the saints and make slanderous words and flattery, and King Zhou followed them all. The world is probably in danger and sycophants are in charge. Only then did these two deceitful ministers come to confuse the government.

Soon I saw Fei Zhongchao. King Zhou was in a depressed mood and said to Fei Zhong: "I came across Nuwa's beautiful appearance because of offering incense in the palace of Nuwa. She is unparalleled in the world. She has three palaces and six courtyards. There are no talents that I like. What will happen? What will happen to you? What can you do to comfort me? Am I pregnant?”

Fei Zhong couldn't help but be overjoyed when he saw King Zhou telling him such private matters. Such things to please the king were suddenly presented to him, and Fei Zhong was willing to let them go.

After thinking about it, Fei Zhong said after a while: "Your Majesty is the lord of ten thousand chariots, rich in the world, and his virtue is worthy of Yao and Shun; everything in the world belongs to your Majesty, so why not worry about it? What is the difficulty? According to the ministers See, your Majesty will pass down a decree tomorrow and issue it to the four princes, asking them to select a hundred beauties in each town to fill the palace and palace. In this way, all the beauties in the world will appear in the palace. Why worry about not seeing the most beautiful women in the world and not catching the eyes of the king? ?”

After King Zhou heard Fei Zhong's words, he couldn't help but be overjoyed. This idea couldn't be better. He laughed happily. After laughing, he said to him: "What you have played is very much in line with my wishes. I will tell all the ministers about it in the morning tomorrow morning." The purpose is to select all the beauties in the world. Please come back temporarily and I will give you a reward in your house." After saying this, he ordered the emperor to return to the palace.

When Fei Zhong heard what King Zhou said, he was very happy. When he saw King Zhou walking away, he hurriedly left the palace and headed back home. Along the way, he felt light all over his body, as if there was wind under his feet. Within a few moments, he arrived at the door of his home.

Fei Zhong came up with this idea, but he didn't expect that the next day, King Zhou ignored the advice of all his ministers and insisted on competing with the world for a beauty contest. He did not expect that this move would cause chaos in the world and ruin the six hundred years of his country's destiny in the Yin and Shang Dynasties.

Let’s not talk about the aftermath, let’s just say that the three demons, Nuwawa, were ordered to come to the mortal world, and they were thinking about how to enter the palace. Unexpectedly, it didn't take long before there was news that King Zhou was going to compete with the world in a beauty contest. After the three demons discussed with each other, a nine-tailed demon fox said: "The soul can occupy the body of the beauty who is about to enter the palace. In this way, it can win over Pang Xing, King Zhou, and make his government unstable."

After such an agreement, the nine-tailed fox took on another form, concealed its true form, and came to the world of its own accord.
