The "Fengshen Yanyi", also known as the "History of the Wu King", "Fengshen List", etc., its author is generally believed to be Xu Zhonglin of the Ming Dynasty, and was written around the years of Longqing and Wanli. The "Fengshen Yanyi" tells the story of the Immortals of the Illuminati Sect led by Yuan Shi Tianzun and the Immortals of the Intercepting Sect led by the Master of the Tongtian Sect, each supporting the two major camps of Zhou and Shang to swing and break the line.

There is a detail in the "Fengshen Yanyi" that is still more intriguing, so what are the details? And listen to the author's remorse to continue: Jiang Ziya, ordered to go down the mountain, when he first arrived at Chaoge, he exerted his divine might to remove the jade pipa essence (to fight back to its original form), and fished out the official position of a lower doctor to do it. This made the fox jingda hate himself and bite his teeth, always thinking of looking for opportunities to avenge Jiang Ziya.
Later, Dai Ji finally thought of a way, she let the king of Qiu build a star-picking building, hypothetically that she knew the immortals, built a star-picking building, so that in the future the king of Jiang Ziya could communicate with the immortals, and named Jiang Ziya to supervise the construction of the star-picking building, hoping to use this to try to harm Jiang Ziya, because she knew that this kind of labor and wealth, Jiang Ziya would not do it, and would inevitably disobey the will of the king, so she could use the title to punish Jiang Ziya and revenge for killing her sisters. How big is this star-picking building, and what does it look like, and why does it cost the people money? The book says: "Four feet high and nine feet high, the palace is majestic, the Qionglou Yuyu, the agate is built on the railing, the pearl is made into a beam, the night is bright, and the rainbow shines", such a huge project will not cost the people and money.

Jiang Ziya was ordered to come to the king of Lu, who showed Jiang Ziya the drawings of the star-picking building, which Jiang Ziya would definitely not do. King Gong asked Jiang Ziya how long it would take for this star-picking building to be completed, and Jiang Ziya thought for a moment, pinched his fingers, and then replied to King Gong: "This platform is four feet high and nine feet high, and the Qionglou Yuyu is built, and the bi sill carving column is huge." If the Taiwan work is completed, it shall not be completed in thirty-five years. When king Huan heard that it would take so long, he deliberately gave up and said to Dai Ji: "Imperial wife, Jiang Shang: It will take thirty-five years for Taiwan workers to succeed." Thinking of time is fleeting, the years are like a stream, young people can have fun, if so, life is geometric, and peace can grow! It is useless to build this platform. ”
Dai Ji obviously knew that this year was Jiang Ziya's prevarication, so she seized this point and wanted to take revenge, saying to the King of Lu: "Jiang Shang is a foreign warlock, and he always makes false accusations. That's thirty-five years to complete! Rebellion against the Lord, sin is a cannon burn! "When the King of Lu heard his own words, of course he believed it, and this was repaid, and he dared to deceive the king, and no matter how Jiang Ziya persuaded, he never listened, still wanted to build a star-picking building, and let people take Jiang Ziya down for questioning.

This Jiang Ziya saw that Chaoge was not a place to stay for a long time, and the King of Qiu was not the king of the auxiliaries, so he escaped from Chaoge by water and waited for the opportunity. Why did Jiang Ziya tell the King of Lu that it would take thirty-five years to build the Star Picking Tower? And not other years? Actually, here's the talk. In the past thirty-five years, the time span is relatively long, it takes such a long time to build a building, manpower, material and financial resources are bound to be extremely lost, Jiang Ziya also hopes to use this to make the King of Lu retreat, as Jiang Ziya said, I hope that the King of Lu will understand: "The work of Lutai, the labor of the people and the loss of wealth, may His Majesty rest this idea, must not do." Nowadays, the swords and soldiers in the four directions are in chaos, the water and drought are frequent, the treasury is empty, the people's livelihood is getting faster and faster, His Majesty does not pay attention to the state, cultivates the blessings of peace with the people, the day is desolate and drunk, the distant and the wise are near, the state is chaotic, the killing of Zhongliang, the people complain about heaven, the alarm of the generations, and His Majesty does not repair the province at all. However, the king of Lu was not moved, and was still deceived by himself.
In addition, these thirty-five years are actually Jiang Ziya's calculation of the number of years of the reign of King Huan. King Huan, we know that he was the last emperor of the Shang Dynasty, his reign years, there is no fixed tone in history, there are engineering expert groups presumed to be thirty years (1075 BC - 1046 BC), of course, there are different views, in the Western Jin Dynasty Emperor Fu Mi's creation of the history books "Imperial Century" and "Huangji Jingshi Book" are thirty-two years (counting from the second year after the death of Emperor Yi). Xu Zhonglin, the author of the "Fengshen Yanyi", adopted the latter theory, that is, the "Imperial Century" and the "Huangji JingshiShu" to believe that the number of kings was thirty-two years, but also gave flexibility, adding a 3-year leeway period, so it was used for thirty-five years, so in the book, Jiang Ziya borrowed the matter of picking the star building and calculated that the number of kings reigned was thirty-five years. Unfortunately, the King of Lu had already been enchanted by Dai Ji, and who would think of any advice or unfaithfulness. Of course, this is the author's words and thoughts after reading the book, if there are different opinions, but please teach! (Text: Repentance of the Past)
