Nuwa Palace Turmoil
More than 3,000 years ago, in the Central Plains of China, there was an earth-shattering conflict between the Shang and Zhou Dynasties. It coincided with the birthday of the great goddess Nuwa. In the smoke, King Zhou discovered that the statue of Nuwa was lifelike, and it was actually a stunningly beautiful woman he had never seen before. The lustful King Zhou immediately fell in love with Nuwa and wrote a love poem to court Nuwa. He also offered a plan to let King Zhou select beautiful women from all over the world to enter the palace. King Zhou believed the slander and knew that Su Daji, the daughter of Su Hu, the Marquis of Jizhou, one of the four princes, was extremely beautiful. He ordered Su Hu to send his daughter to the palace as soon as possible.
King Zhou Of Shang Dynasty Beauty Pageant
In the Chaoge Palace, the vixen who transformed into Daji came forward bathed in sunshine. She was graceful, charming and gorgeous, with peerless appearance. The lustful King Zhou was so shocked and fascinated that he completely obeyed her words in a few words. Su Hu watched with cold eyes and was shocked when he discovered that his "daughter" suddenly changed her temperament. After Daji entered the palace, King Zhou couldn't wait to carry her to bed, strip off her clothes, and take possession of her. Afterwards, King Zhou and Su Daji indulged themselves in the palace, singing and dancing every day. King Zhou indulged himself in wine and sex, which sapped his heroic ambition and began to neglect government affairs.
Qingxiangge Chuanbao
Clouds are gathering over Chaoge City, and everyone, civil and military, is in danger; at the same time, the disciples of the Chan and Jie sects are holding a century-old meeting of immortals. The two sect leaders of Yuanshi Tongtian talked about the appearance of evildoers in Chaoge. He decided to send a capable disciple down the mountain to conquer the goblin. Yuanshi fell in love with the kind-hearted and honest old disciple Jiang Ziya. Ziya's junior brother Shen Gongbao had evil intentions. Hearing that those who came down the mountain would enjoy wealth in the world in the future, he strongly requested his master to send him there. Yuanshi used the Heavenly Book to test out the difference between Ziya and Shen Gongbao's mind, and finally decided to send Ziya down the mountain and grant Ziya the most precious Heavenly Book in Yuxu Palace.
Jiang Ziya Comes Out
Daji finally died, and King Zhou was grief-stricken and guarded her soul day and night. Shen Gongbao suddenly appeared, destroyed the demon-slaying sword, and rescued Daji in time. After Daji came back from the dead, her heart became even more vicious. In order to please Daji, King Zhou insisted on punishing Meibo by cannon, regardless of the begging of his ministers. Seeing this miserable situation, Prime Minister Shang Rong had a premonition that the Shang Dynasty was over. He was disheartened and asked King Zhou to retire and return home. King Zhou and Daji spent the whole night singing and dancing in the palace.
The Good Queen Was Killed
Queen Jiang firmly denied that the assassin was ordered by her. King Zhou was so stunned by Daji that he didn't care about the love between husband and wife. In order to force Queen Jiang to confess, one of her eyes was gouged out while she was still alive. When Jiang Huan was escorted to Queen Jiang and confronted with her, he still insisted that the Queen sent him to assassinate her. The two princes received an urgent report from the guards and rushed back in panic. Queen Jiang died with hatred after seeing her son for the last time. Yin Jiao beheaded Jiang Huan in a rage, and threatened to kill King Zhou and Daji to avenge his mother.
Xibohou Shizi
King Zhou was afraid that the news of Queen Jiang's death would trigger the rebellion of Dongbohou, so he ordered the summons of Dongbohou and Xibohou to come to court and sing. Ji Chang picked up a baby on the way here and recognized him as his hundredth son. Later, the immortal Yun Zhongzi came down to earth, accepted the child as his disciple and named him Lei Zhenzi. Dong Bohou learned the news of his daughter's death from Huang Feihu. He was filled with grief and anger. He cursed King Zhou for his lack of justice in the court, and was brutally beaten by King Zhou.
Little Nezha Becomes A Disciple
Jiang Wenhuan, son of Dong Bohou, rebelled in order to avenge his father. King Zhou ordered Li Jing, the commander-in-chief of Chentangguan, to step up military training and take strict precautions. On the day Li Jing was appointed, his wife, who was three years and six months pregnant, also gave birth to a round flesh ball. In panic, Li Jing split open the meat ball with his sword, but out of it jumped out a lively and cute little boy who could talk as soon as he landed on the ground. Taiyi Zhenren of Jinguang Cave in Qianyuan Mountain came to visit and accepted the child as his disciple, naming him "Nezha".
Jiang Taigong Gets Married
Jiang Ziya realized that Daji was also the incarnation of a monster and informed King Zhou. King Zhou was furious and ordered his men to capture Jiang Ziya. Ziya finally gave up on the Shang Dynasty and King Zhou and fled away. Ziya found Song Yiren, his old friend before he went to the mountain to practice Taoism, and temporarily stayed in his home. Yiren is a warm-hearted person. Knowing that Ziya is still unmarried in his late eighties, he takes it upon himself to propose to the 68-year-old Miss Ma on his behalf. Ziya is in trouble.
