In the "Fengshen Yanyi", Jiang Ziya is the apprentice of Yuan Shi Tianzun and the weakest apprentice, with only 40 years of cultivation. Yuan Shi Tianzun had already said that he had no connection with Xiu Xian, so he sent him down the mountain early. However, it coincided with the adjustment of the pattern of the Three Realms, so Yuan Shi Tianzun gave Jiang Ziya a reason to go down the mountain, that is, to replace Yuan Shi Tianzun to seal the gods, and then enjoy the blessings of the general in the mortal world.
After Jiang Ziya came down the mountain, he was doing business again and marrying his daughter-in-law, which was relatively busy. However, he was busy and busy, and he still kept in mind the task of sealing the gods. In order to complete the task of sealing the gods as soon as possible, Jiang Ziya also began to recruit apprentices and let these apprentices help him complete his great cause.
So, how many apprentices did Jiang Ziya take? We can see from the original work that Jiang Ziya received a total of 7 apprentices. Who are these 7 disciples? Let's talk a little bit.
The first 5 disciples were the first to be received, named the Five Road Gods. It was received by Jiang Ziya at the home of Fa Xiao Song Yiren. These five gods are actually 5 elves, and they always obstruct Song Yi's artificial house. So Jiang Ziya struck out and subdued them.
After the surrender, Jiang Ziya did not kill them, but let them go to Xiqi to build the Fengshen Platform, and promised that after they were accomplished, they would achieve positive results. When the five elves heard this, they were very happy, so they hurried to Xiqi. It was just that until the end of the fengshen god, Jiang Ziya did not say what positive results were given to them, and his whereabouts had always been a mystery.
Jiang Ziya's sixth apprentice was the mortal Bukit. Bukit was originally a woodcutter who chopped wood, but was trained by Jiang Ziya to be a warrior who could fight well on the battlefield. After Jiang Ziya worshipped as the Minister of Xiqi, Bukit followed Jiang Ziya to establish a career, and after the end of the logging, Bukit became a great general.
Jiang Ziya's seventh apprentice was the monster Dragon Beard Tiger. Dragon Beard Tiger was born in the Shaohao period and cultivated for a thousand years, but his strength was not strong, and he was best at throwing flying stones, but his flying stones were thrown in large quantities, and the hit rate was not high.
And Deng Cicada, who also used flying stones as a dark weapon, had a very high hit rate, which could be called a hundred shots, and the strength was very large, and the big gods such as Yang Jian and Kong Xuan had been hit by the strokes.
In the process of participating in the logging process, the merits of the dragon bearded tiger were not very prominent, and finally he was killed by the giant Wu culture. Originally, The Dragon Bearded Tiger could not be canonized, and there was no title for him on the list of gods that was originally planned. But somehow, it may also be because of Jiang Ziya's apprentice, so Jiang Ziya finally sealed him a god and named him the Nine Ugly Stars.
