King Wu was defeated, Jiang Ziya was ordered to be the governor of the army, and even the other princes who supported Xiqi to resist Yin Shang were also his leaders. In addition, the disciples under the throne of Yuan Shi Tianzun also sent people into the Zhou camp as generals to obey Jiang Ziya's orders. Yuan Shi Tianzun even gave the Supreme Treasure Apricot Yellow Flag, the Divine Whip, and even Xiqi fought several fierce battles, and the people of the Burning Lamp Dao led the immortals to help, judging from these circumstances, the support of the Jade Void Palace of Kunlun Mountain to Jiang Shang can be described as unreserved.
What makes people wonder is why Jiang Ziya, who has a high status and is a god of heaven, failed to get a god position when he finally became a god? Let's talk briefly about this issue.
A unique disciple of the Jade Void Palace
The exposition of the teachings in charge of the Yuan Shi Tianzun is completely different from the interception teaching, that is, the selection of disciples is extremely strict, which can be described as "rather lacking than excess", so almost all the disciples of the Jade Void Palace are very good. However, among the many personal disciples, Jiang Ziya is extremely special, not to mention the teaching, even in the interception of "teaching without class", there is no similar character to it.
First of all, Jiang Ziya's mind is very unbright, he is not confident when he should be confident, he is not confident when he should be confident, and he can always successfully avoid the right option. When accepting the important task of sealing the gods, Yuan Shi Tianzun specially told him not to turn back if he went down the mountain, but he still couldn't help but talk, and led to Shen Gongbao, who had been against him later, and was also fooled by Shen Gongbao, especially by the "flying head technique", and almost handed over the god list in a daze, but it was thanks to the timely arrival of the Antarctic Immortal Weng that Jiang Shangzhu made a big mistake.
After going down the mountain, due to his perennial practice in the mountains, Jiang Ziya was seriously derailed from society, and even survival became a problem, so the sixty-year-old Huanghua girl who finally married divorced him. Of course, as the son of luck, Jiang Ziya was finally favored by Xibohou Ji Chang, and after Ji Chang's death, he assisted King Wu Ji Fa and started the battle of Xuan.
However, judging from his various performances when he served as the marshal of the Great Zhou Dynasty and led the army to conquer the war, Jiang Shang's performance was not outstanding whether it was marching or planning the battle situation. For example, Yang Jian said that Tuxing Sun took the rope of tying immortals, Jiang Ziya didn't believe it, and retorted that Yang Jian was afraid that Liusun would send apprentices to harm him? When Yin Hong appeared, Yang Jian said that Yin Hong was holding a yin-yang mirror, and Jiang Ziya didn't believe it, and the same theory asked Yang Jian whether red sperm would harm himself? Later, Yin Jiao appeared, Yang Jian said that Yin Jiao took Fantianyin, Jiang Ziya still didn't believe it, Yang Jian had no choice, and mentioned Yin Hong's matter, which made Jiang Ziya speechless.
The list goes on and on, and it's enough to be brainless and unpersuadeur, and at the same time it's very unresponsible. For example, Wu Wenhua and Yuan Hong robbed the camp at night, Jiang Ziya, as the commander, not only did not expect it in advance, but also could not organize an effective defense in the face of unexpected situations, so that the Zhou army was killed and turned on his back. What's even more speechless is that seeing the danger in the camp, Jiang Ziya actually took the lead in riding on the four and running away, not only abandoning the army, but even the martial king Ji Fa. After the battle subsided after dawn, Jiang Ziya returned to the camp, checked the sergeants, and learned that 200,000 people were killed overnight, as the commander Jiang Shang was originally responsible for this, but he was good, not only did not think about himself, but looked at the mess everywhere, shook his head and sighed and said that everything is days, which is Ji has a good temper, and he is afraid that someone else will cut him down earlier, and he will really live for a long time.
Secondly, Jiang Ziya, as a second-generation disciple, is too young and his cultivation time is too short. Although he is an old man of seventy or eighty years old, as a qi refiner, and a personal disciple of Yuan Shi Tianzun, this is very abrupt, not to mention the Burning Lamp Dao and the Antarctic Immortals, let's just say the twelve immortals, which one does not have a thousand-year-old Taoism? Even if the Tuxing Sun among the three generations of disciples has been practicing for more than a hundred years, so compared to mortals, Jiang Shang may be considered older, but as the second-generation disciple of Yuxu Gonggen Zheng Miao Hong, it is somewhat incredible.
has no extraordinary talent, is too young, and has mediocre ability, which is what makes Jiang Ziya unique. Some people may think that the situation of Wen Zhong and Jiang Ziya, who are in the sect of the sect, is similar on the surface, but in fact it is not the same thing at all, don't look at Wen Zhong and Zhao Gongming, Sanxiao Niangniang and other equals, but this is because as long as there is no clear teacher-student relationship, then the emphasis is on "shoulders as brothers", according to the generation, Wen Zhong is the apprentice of the Holy Mother of Jinling, and is the third generation of disciples of the sect. And although Wen Zhong only has the cultivation of earth immortals due to his age, Wen Zhong is far stronger than Jiang Ziya in terms of military ability and combat ability, so the situation of the two should not be confused.
It seems that no matter which angle it is, Yuan Shi Tianzun doesn't seem to have any reason to accept Jiang Ziya as a disciple. As the saying goes, "there must be demons when things go out of the normal state", so what secrets are hidden in this? This is worth talking about.
The Chosen ≠ is outstanding
Yuan Shi Tianzun is a well-known conspirator in the book, and he can be described as scheming, so with his wisdom, Jiang Shang is definitely not a hot head and a whim, and it can even be said that it is intentional with a clear purpose, and the reason for this is to talk about this battle of gods that shook the Three Realms.
There are two reasons why the immortals want to use the martial kings of the world to cut down the gods and the Yin Shang of the Zhou Dynasty to implement the gods: first, the twelve generations of disciples under the Yuxu Palace are killing the precepts; In other words, the apprentices of the Yuan Shi Tianzun need to break the calamity, and the Heavenly Court is short of manpower. As a result, the three disciples of Hongjun Dao and the three sects of Biyou Palace discussed the list of gods, and then there was the later war of gods.
Needless to say, the Twelve Immortals broke the calamity, and it was a problem for Heavenly Court to gather enough for the three hundred and sixty-five righteous gods. Why do you say that? Because there is a big premise of the gods is that they can't go to work and die well, so just relying on the king of Xuan Yuan to kill people indiscriminately under the bewitchment of the three demons of Xuanyuan Tomb, it is impossible to get together three hundred and sixty-five god positions in any case, so war is needed to promote casualties, because Yin Shang's qi is about to run out, so everything is going downhill, plus the princes of the eight hundred towns in the world are all against each other, so this battle is easy to become one-sided. If you have no last resort, and then lead the generals to beat Chaoge in one breath, force the king to death, and establish King Wu as the new king, then it will be a bad dish. Where can the undead go to correct the gods of Haotian? The battle is not fierce enough, how can the twelve immortals break the robbery?
Therefore, the Zhou army needs a relatively "wastewood" general, so that there is no need to worry about the number of dead people, and Yuan Shi Tianzun has long seen through Jiang Ziya, he is the most in line with the standard, so Yuan Shi Tianzun after agreeing with Lao Tzu and Tongtian to become a god, after thousands of selections to excavate Jiang Ziya, such special talents are even rarer than those Qi refiners with good talents.
Of course, we don't think that Jiang Ziya is a "pure waste", or it will be embarrassing if you can't beat Yin Shang, you say that he has the ability, but he has repeatedly made stupid moves, and has done a lot of stupid things;
There are three reasons why people don't seal themselves
All in all, no matter whether Jiang Ziya is strong or weak, there is no doubt that he has made a great contribution to the gods, so according to the theoretical merit reward, he should completely occupy a place among the gods. Some folk tales say that Jiang Ziya left the throne of the Jade Emperor for himself, and some say that he later became the king of the stove, where the story came from is unknown, in short, it has nothing to do with the original work of "Romance of the Gods". So why did he miss out on the divine position? To sum up, there are three reasons.
First of all, the god on behalf of the heavens sounds lofty, but in fact he does not have the right to arbitrarily seal the gods, his authority is limited to reading out the list prepared by the Yuan Shi Tianzun, at best it is equivalent to the host of the Zen ceremony, and at worst it is equivalent to a eunuch who declares the decree. If he is not in the list of Yuan Shi Tianzun, he will naturally not get the divine position.
Secondly, as we mentioned just now, the prerequisite for sealing a god is not to die well, like Xibohou, who is dying at the end of his life, not to mention Jiang Ziya, who is alive and well, although he has experienced seven deaths and three disasters in the war of gods, but in the end he is still alive and kicking, so naturally he can't get the god position, unless he grabs and cuts off his head like a flying sickle and evil come, and then seals it, but Jiang Ziya is considered to have a great contribution to the gods, how can he be beheaded well? So in terms of hardware conditions, Jiang Ziya has not yet reached the standard of being a god.
Finally, it sounds the most mysterious, but it is the most irreversible in classical fiction. The book clearly points out that for the beings of the Three Realms, this war of gods and goddesses will become immortals, followed by gods, and once again enjoy the wealth of the world. Jiang Ziya's final position is already doomed, that is to say, he belongs to the worst of the three situations "again", about this, Yuan Shi Tianzun also told Jiang Ziya early in the morning, in fact, it is not difficult to understand that as a person who is a god on behalf of the sky, if he still has a god position, it is impossible to say that it is low, and it is inevitable that he will be suspected of shady scenes if it is high, so the best thing is to choose a person who has no relationship with the fairy road and the way of God to take on this important task, and Jiang Ziya is the right person who does not know whether he is lucky or unlucky.
To sum up, Jiang Ziya, who has made a great contribution to the God War despite his poor ability, seems unreasonable that he failed to become a god, but it is not surprising, and he seems to have to accept such a fate arrangement. Some people may feel that they are like marionettes from beginning to end, and it is pitiful to be manipulated by others. But thinking about it from another angle, if it weren't for this battle of the gods, it would be impossible for Yuan Shi Tianzun to notice Jiang Shang, a mediocre mortal, and if he didn't have the experience of learning art in the Jade Void Palace, with Jiang Ziya's ability and talent, it might be difficult to get ahead even among mortals, where would there be the ultimate "under one person, above ten thousand"?
