Jiang Ziya can make Shen immortal, why not make da ji a nine-tailed fox?

The popular animated film The Legend of Deification gives its own answer to the divinity of Kyubi no Youko Fox. What about the answer in the Romance of Gods?

In the eyes of some friends, the reason why the nine-tailed fox is not deified is because she does too much evil, but it is not.

Among the 365 righteous gods sealed by Jiang Ziya, there are good people and bad people. There are famous sages and ministers, immortals who are instructed by heaven to explain their teachings, treacherous princes and traitors, godless immortals who help others to insult, and some monsters and strange people. It can be said that whether they can be crowned as the god of justice on the list of gods has nothing to do with their own good and evil.

Shang Zhouwang, for example, is the famous bad king in the Romance of Gods. He built a wine pool and meat forest, led a dissolute life, built a fire card, destroyed loyalty and became a great country. It only took him twenty or thirty years to destroy it.

However, it is not only listed as a god, but also a star that is in charge of the gods on earth. Shang Zhouwang's famous treacherous court official Fei Zhong, wandering souls, Fei Lian and Loy are also listed as gods.

Lv Yue, the number one villain who was born as a missionary, spread the plague poison to Xiqiao City, almost killing ten thousand people, and was also named the chief secretary of the plague department. Even the traitor Shen, who incited the immortals from all walks of life to attack Xiqiao, was also named as a navy general and became the North Sea Water God.

Why does it seem that there is no distinction between good and evil?

The most important reason is that Jiang Ziya is the god representing heaven. For heaven, it is necessary to seal both good and evil gods. A good god who is respected naturally praises good people, while a wicked person who is respected punishes bad people. Just as there are yin and yang in heaven and earth, there are good and bad people.

Some immortals are lucky, and some evil is rewarded with evil. At the same time, it is in line with heaven to punish evil and promote good.

In addition, many evil people on the list of gods are not necessarily real evil people. For example, although Shen and Xi Qiao blocked the rise of Jiang Ziya and Xi Qiao, they also had their own reasons. In particular, the battle of deification involves the struggle to explain the fate of the two major religions, not just personal good and evil.

As for Kyubi no Youko's fox, she is a thousand-year-old demon in Xuanyuan Tomb. The reason why she was able to charm Zhou Wang and bring disaster to Shang Dynasty was because she was instructed by the demon saint Nu Wa. Why did Nu Wa give such an order? Because Shang Zhouwang wrote poems on the wall while burning incense in Nuwa Palace, which was disrespectful to Nuwa.

In fact, the nine-tailed fox was ordered by Nu Wa Niangniang to bring disaster to Shang Dynasty.

In this case, the nine-tailed fox should be rewarded after completing the task and be regarded as a god on the list of gods. Why isn't she on the final list of gods?

According to the original work, when the fox in Kyubi no Youko was caught, the queen of Nu Wa appeared. She rebuked Kyubi no Youko's fox for its disorderly behavior, trapped it with her own hands and gave it to Jiang Ziya for killing.

In other words, the nine-tailed fox is not deified. One of the important reasons is that Nu Wa Niangniang thinks that although the nine-tailed fox has completed the mission of bringing trouble to Shang Dynasty, it has done too many evils in the process of carrying out the task, which is not in line with Nu Wa Niangniang's original intention.

Of course, Nu Wa's explanation is only one reason. The Romance of Gods is extensive and profound, and its portrayal of human nature and the shaping of the world outlook have reached an extremely profound level.

In order to find out the real reason why the nine-tailed fox is not deified, we can also combine several other deified demon fairy who failed to make the list.

During Jiang Ziya's crusade, I met two demons in Qipanshan, whose names were Gao Ming and Gao Jue. When they fell down, the book was clearly written. The ghost of peach essence and willow can't escape, so I'll name it this deity before it's too late. ? According to the poem in the book, peach trees should be named clairvoyant after death, and Gao Liu should be named clairvoyant after death.

When Jiang Ziya's apprentice Long Xu Hu appeared, there was a poem saying: God's name is unknown on the list, and he has made outstanding contributions to the royal family. ? In other words, the dragon and beard tiger should not have been on the list of gods, but when it was finally named, the dragon and beard tiger was named nine ugly stars.

Why should Gao Ming and Gao Jue, who should be on the list, fall off the list, but why should the dragon who fell off the list be on the list? Is it because the content of Romance of Gods was too complicated and the author neglected it for a moment? No way. The ancients wrote books with great care, and it often took more than ten years or decades to painstakingly manage and review them over and over again. Then why is there such a big mistake?

The truth can only be found in novels.

As we know, Jiang Ziya is the god representing heaven, and it is the primitive Buddha, Lao Zi and Tian Tong who really decide the list of gods. It is clear in the book that the saints of the three religions signed a list of gods in Biyou Palace.

Among the three saints, the Buddha from the beginning of the Yuan Dynasty is the actual executor of the action of sealing gods, and has the greatest right to speak when making the list of sealing gods.

For a part of Ba Shen, Yuan Shi Tian Zun may negotiate with Lao Zi, but for some ordinary gods, Yuan Shi Tian Zun should have the right to make decisions alone. Therefore, among the Ba Shen in Shenpu, there are Huang, a mortal military commander who belongs to Taoism, and other gods, such as Wen Zhong, Duo Li, Wen Bu, and Zhi.

In the war of worshipping God, only a few disciples were exiled, and all of them were ordinary disciples who were humble. Three generations of disciples, such as Huang Tianhua and Tu, made great efforts to explain fallen immortals.

But their practice is shallow, and their status is not as good as that of Jin Xian and Luo Jinxian. So one of Ba Shen, no one is an interpreter. In order to check and balance the influence of the boundary angle among the gods in heaven, the Buddha at the beginning of Yuan Dynasty could only try to raise his disciples' deities.

It is precisely because the explanation disciples are very weak in the list of gods, such as Long Xu Hu, who was not ranked in the list at first, but was finally included in the list of gods. Taoism, which was born in man, belongs to Terran Huang San, that is, Fuxi Shennong Huangdi, some of which are reused and some are abandoned.

Huang, for example, was originally a mortal military commander, but because he belonged to Taoist forces, he was named the Lord of ghosts and gods on earth and was in charge of ghosts and gods.

And Bai Jian, a marshal like the Yellow Emperor in the past. Although he had fallen long before the battle of sealing the gods, he was finally named as a pure and just god, the Lord of Ba Shen.

In the movie Legend of Deification, Jiang Ziya is called the head of the gods. In fact, it was the retired White Sword God who was really named the head of the gods.

Da ji, a Kyubi no Youko fox, is a fox demon on the surface, controlled by Nu Wa. In fact, she was born in the tomb of Xuanyuan, and she, pipa essence and pheasant essence are all people under the Yellow Emperor.

Peach tree essence and willow essence in Qipanshan are also from Xuanyuan Temple in Qipanshan, which is influenced by Xuanyuan Huangdi.

Just because Huang Hufei, who was born in Taoism, was heavily sealed, other immortals related to Taoism and Xuanyuan Huangdi were directly abandoned.
