Interpretation of the "Fengshen Rendition"
Text/Gao Yongxin
Among the four winged "bird people" of the Fengshen Gods, we are most familiar with Lei Zhenzi (the other three are Xin Huan, Yu Yi Xian, and Kong Xuan).
Lei Zhenzi was the righteous son of King Jichang of Wen and the apprentice of Yun Zhongzi, who assisted Jiang Ziya, and finally became sanctified in the flesh with Nezha, Yang Jian and seven others, and his cultivation was very complete.
Lei Zhenzi is a person of unknown origin, born very strange, after a thunderstorm, the baby appeared next to the tomb. As for who was born and why they were born next to the tomb, I don't know. What was even more strange was that King Wen Jichang had already calculated the appearance of this child, and immediately found him and adopted him as a righteous son. This was not the end of it, and soon the Immortal Yun Zhongzi appeared, took him as an apprentice, and took him to the Xianshan Cave Mansion. In half a day, he had gone from a wilderness outcast to a highness and a monk. This span is really too big!
Lei Zhenzi's prototype comes from the Song and Yuan Dynasties' "Wu Wang Fa Shu Ping Dialect", which describes his birth as having a little more terrifying color than the "Fengshen Yanyi":
Xi bohou Jichang rushed from Xiqi to Chaoge, and when he passed the Tongguan Yin Rune Realm, he was sheltering from the rain in the forest, and suddenly saw an ancient tomb. Xi Bohou sent a lesson, counting that there would be one person in the ancient tomb. Sure enough, the tomb itself collapsed, revealing a female corpse, vivid, and suddenly a thunder broke the woman's stomach, and a baby cried in the stomach. Ji Chang asked the baby to be removed and moved on. Crossing the Ridge below met the Magi Yun Zhongzi. Yun Zhongzi told Ji Chang not to abandon the child, predicted that he would help King Wen defeat the Daoless King in the future, and named him "Lei Zhen".
Later, Lei Zhenzi was "a long man, shouldering a large knife, wearing hair like a ghost, like a dragon catching a tiger", and indeed helped Ji Chang to fight against the King of Sui, and finally defected to the King of Wu.
"Fengshen Yanyi" does not have the plot of a female corpse with a broken belly, so Lei Zhenzi's life is even more mysterious. So, who is Lei Zhenzi? Why do they appear next to the tomb?
First, Lei Zhenzi was originally Yun Zhongzi's apprentice, and the arrangement of being born into Yanshan and encountering King Wen was Yun Zhongzi.
The text said that Ji Chang had just walked a hundred or twenty miles with Lei Zhenzi and met Yun Zhongzi. Yun Zhongzi said bluntly that he had come for Lei Zhenzi. original:
"Poor Dao is the ultimate Nanshan Yuzhu Cave alchemist Yun Zhongzi is also. Seeing the honorable face today, the poor road is very fortunate. ”
After seeing the child, go on to say:
The Daoist took the baby and looked at him, "The stars will be!" ”
It can be seen that he has been paying attention to this child for a long time. Then, Yun Zhongzi couldn't wait to take the child:
Yun Zhongzi said: "Xianhou, ;Xianhou Huiri, Fenghe Xianhou." I don't know what the Sages want? ”
From the perspective of Yun Zhongzi, he knew the birth of Lei Zhenzi and the encounter with King Wen. This shows that he is the one who knows the life of Lei Zhenzi.

Why is it said that the birth of Lei Zhenzi was arranged by Yun Zhongzi? Everyone must remember the birth of Nezha arranged by Taiyi Zhenren.
At that time, Li Jing's wife Yin Shi was 3 years and 6 months pregnant and could not unload the goods. The White Crane Boy of the Jade Void Palace took the Jade Zha of the Yuan Shi Tianzun and asked Taiyi Zhenren to "ask Uncle Shi to send the Spirit Bead down the mountain," Nezha was soon born. Similarly, Nezha had just been born, and Taiyi Zhenren appeared at Li Jing's house and demanded that Nezha be recognized as an apprentice.
Nezha's birth, we can see very clearly, Taiyi Zhenren chose Li Jing and Lady Yin's flesh fetus in advance, injected Nezha's soul, and gave Nezha a fixed reincarnation.
According to folklore, the union of the human soul with the flesh fetus is at birth. The soul is arranged to be reincarnated, and at the end it is pushed by the ghost, and then the baby falls to the ground.
Similarly, the birth of Lei Zhenzi is also such an operation: after Yun Zhongzi selects the flesh fetus, injects the soul of Lei Zhenzi's previous life, and then reincarnates a new person.
So, the question arises: who are Lei Zhenzi's parents?
Second, Lei Zhenzi's parents may be a combination of demons.
We said before that Yang Jian may be the descendant of Immortals and Humans. Similarly, Lei Zhenzi's shocking appearance also shows that he is not an ordinary person.
The face is like a green indigo, the hair is like cinnabar, the eyes are violent, the fangs are rampant, out of the lips, the long thunder mouth; the body is two feet long, the whole body is hydrated, and a pair of "wind and thunder wings" are born under the ribs of the back. The hand makes a golden stick, the power is infinite, the wind is thunderous when the wings are spread, and the speed is extremely fast, and it can travel thousands of miles a day.
Such a look is clearly a goblin. However, until the age of 7, Lei Zhenzi was a normal child. He was born as a beautiful baby, original text:
Ya Ji Bo saw a good child, his face was like a peach, and his eyes were shining.
However, before going down the mountain to rescue King Wen, under the temptation of master, he accidentally ate two immortal apricots, which stimulated the genes of the demon that already existed in his body, and only then did he become what he is now.
Therefore, Lei Zhenzi is a descendant of the shemale. His father may be a human being, while his mother is a demon in human form.
In ancient times, Chinese men had a unique imagination of female goblins, and there are a large number of love stories of readers and female goblins in "Liaozhai Zhiyi". Women who have been robbed of their husbands or boyfriends by other women will also call each other "goblins". It can be seen that female goblins are men's favorites.
Everyone speculates that Lei Zhenzi's mother may be a bird spirit, for example, Dai Ji's girlfriend nine-headed pheasant essence is a bird. Many portraits of Lei Zhenzi painted him with a sharp bird's beak. However, there is no mention of Thunder Shocker with a bird's beak. In the original book, it is mentioned that Lei Zhenzi has fangs up and down, so his mother may not be a bird, but a winged and toothed animal such as a bat.
Whether it is a bird or a bat, Lei Zhenzi's mother lives in Yanshan Mountain, and perhaps this ancient tomb is her home. In this way, it is only natural that she will give birth next to the tomb. Of course, her mana is much weaker than Yun Zhongzi's, so that Yun Zhongzi can manipulate her with mana.
The combination of demons is also beneficial to cultivation, and people represent the authenticity of cultivation and stand in a high position politically; while demons practice faster and more powerfully. There are many immortals under the Sect of Interception, and a large part of them is deeper than the Twelve Immortals mana cultivated by the cultivators. Lei Zhenzi inherited the advantages of humans and demons, and had a more powerful body.
Third, recognize King Wen as his father and give Lei Zhenzi a good identity.
A good body has it, but it still lacks a name.
In the world of fengshen gods, all things are still relatively equal, and each species has the opportunity to cultivate into immortals, such as Shiji Niangniang is a stone, the Ghost Spirit Virgin is a turtle, the Dark Cloud Immortal is a golden-bearded fish, the Qiushou Immortal is a lion, and so on. Moreover, they were all recognized by the Immortal Sect. Many of the disciples are animal practitioners. For example, the Nine Yao Twenty-Eight Lodges that died in the Ten Thousand Immortals Array were all animal cultivators.
However, the teachings are very concerned about the identity of the practitioner. In their view, only people are qualified to become immortals, and they despise the behavior of people cultivating immortals with animals.
Of course, the expository teachings will also be open to one side, and it is not completely forbidden for foreign body cultivators, such as Nezha was a spirit bead before he was born, and in addition, the white crane boy may be a crane.
Therefore, Lei Zhenzi, the descendant of the demon, also had the opportunity to be accepted by the illumination, and Yun Zhongzi pondered to give him a good name, and he noticed that the future family with the highest status, the Jichang family. Therefore, he hinted at this arrangement to King Wen Jichang through "Providence", who had the ability to calculate and naturally calculated. In this way, there is a "chance encounter" between Lei Zhenzi and Ji Chang.
Chinese good master Yun Zhongzi
Finally, let's sum it up.
Xiu Xian has two paths:
The first is the non-separation of the flesh and spirit, the immortality of the flesh, and the continuous practice. How many immortals mentioned in the text such as Yun Zhongzi and the Twelve Immortals have taken such a path.
However, different flesh bodies have different adaptability to immortals. There are suitable ones, such as Jin Zhao and others; some are inappropriate, such as Huang Tianhua and Tu Xingsun and Jiang Ziya; some are fast, such as Yang Jian; some are slow, such as Wei Hu.
Lei Zhenzi belonged to the kind that was not very suitable, or the cultivation was too slow, and it was estimated that it was even slower than Wei Hu. In order to speed up the speed of cultivation, Yun Zhongzi chose a second path for Lei Zhenzi: reincarnation and another flesh skin sac.
Later, Lei Zhenzi was able to sanctify his flesh smoothly, and he could not do without this flesh.
