Ziwei Gou Chen

As we all know, in the novel "Romance of the Gods", in the process of helping the King of Wu to crusade against Zhou, in addition to Buddhism, the third generation of disciples also made great contributions. Nezha, Yang Jian and Lei Zhenzi are the most famous of the three generations of disciples, and they are also called "Golden Iron Triangle". Although the names of the three of them are not on the list of God, they are all "sanctified in the flesh" in the end. To everyone's surprise, in another novel, The Journey to the West, Nezha and Yang Jian both made high-profile appearances, but why didn't Lei Zhenzi appear?

Lei Zhenzi is not tripterygium wilfordii. Some readers may retort, "Why don't you see Lei Zhenzi? Isn't Raytheon? " If you really think so, you are wrong. According to the records of the gods on the list of gods, Wen Zhong, a surname of Shang Dynasty, was deified as a nine-day thunder universe Buddha after his death, and the governor led the thunder department as the twenty-four gods, responsible for spreading sex and punishing traitors. In other words, the ruler of Leibu was Wen Zhong, a surname of Shang Dynasty.

Wen Zhong's Buller Shen Zheng consists of five parts, namely, the Ten-Day King of Jin Ao Island, the Four-Day King of Huanghuashan and the Four-Day King of Erlongshan, two disciples with him, Master Wen, and two disciples who were killed in Wanxian Array. The well-known Thor with wings and a hammer is not Lei Zhenzi, but Xin Huan, one of the four heavenly kings of Huangshan Mountain.

Xin Huan, like Lei Zhenzi, has a pair of wings and can fight in the sky. The difference is that Xin Huan's weapon is a hammer drill cut by Lei Gong, while Lei Zhenzi's weapon is a Lei Feng gold bar. Xin Huan was killed by Lei Zhenzi's stick. Just because Lei Zhenzi's fame is much bigger than Xin Huan's, people regard Lei Zhenzi as the Thor.

Where did Lei Zhenzi, whose Lei Zhenzi identity was sanctified, end up? In fact, we can see a clue from his identity. Lei Zhenzi was born in the Yanshan Mountains at the end of Shang Dynasty. King Jichang of Zhou Wen met him while sheltering from the rain and accepted him as his hundredth son (adopted son). From then on, Lei Zhenzi became the son of Ji Chang. In the process of attacking Zhou, he achieved great results. Because he worships Yunzhongzi, the immortal who explains and teaches, he can avoid death and eventually become a saint.

Although Lei Zhenzi's skill is far behind that of Nezha and Yang Jian, as a "Royal Highness of the Zhou Dynasty", he certainly won't become an unknown little person in the heaven. His eldest brother, Bo Yikao, was the first victim of the Battle of the Zhou Dynasty, so Jiang Ziya, who presided over the deity, named him the God of the Middle Arctic of the Emperor and was in charge of the emperor's fate. He is a noble god, representing dignity, power and the emperor. Similarly, Lei Zhenzi, as the adopted son of Zhou Wenwang, will naturally have a higher throne waiting for him.

Lei Zhenzi's home. So what kind of God has Lei Zhenzi become? The answer is Gou Chen the Great. In Taoist classics, Emperor Gou Chen, like Emperor Wei Zi, is one of the "Six Emperors". He is responsible for assisting the Jade Emperor, taking charge of the three talents of the North and South poles, heaven and earth, ruling the thunder, and taking charge of human wars. He is a symbol of Wu Shen and the God of War. His position is no higher than that of Nezha and Yang Jian, so he didn't show up in Journey to the West.
