In Chinese mythology, Nezha has the most unique character among the mythological characters. Many children have heard .

In Nezha's stories, Li Jing's image is often negative, because he personally pushed Nezha to death several times, even when he was just born or after Nezha was in the sea. Nezha eviscerates his bones and returns to his father, and cuts his flesh to return to his mother.

The most important reason why Li Jing must put Nezha to death is that his third son has been killed long ago, and Nezha has an unshirkable responsibility in it. Today, let us reveal the unknown stories between Li Jing and Nezha in "Fengshen Romance".

Nezha comes into the world

Before Nezha was born, he was already different from ordinary people. Other ordinary people were born ten months after being conceived in their mother's womb, but Nezha was different. He stayed in his mother's womb for three whole years, but he still refused to be born.

This made Li Jing and Mrs. Yin worried about the child. Li Jing even pointed to his wife's belly and said, "My wife has been pregnant for more than three years. If the child is not born, then he will be a fairy even if he is not. monster."

When Mrs. Yin heard her husband's words, she also became very sad. She said to her husband, "It must not be a good thing that I have been pregnant with this child for so long. I worry about this child day and night, and I don't know when he will be able to. born."

Before this pregnancy, Li Jing and his wife had two sons, Jin Zha and Mu Zha, but they were not as weird as this one. These two sons are not ordinary people. They are the disciples of Manjushri Tianzun and Puxian Zhenren respectively. They will also be ranked in the immortal class in the future.

At the time of birth, if there are visions in the surrounding environment or special adventures in the family's dreams, then this child will definitely not be a mediocre child in the future, and Nezha is such an extraordinary child.

It is said that when Nezha was about to be born, Mrs. Yin once saw a Taoist priest in a dream. The Taoist priest looked at her belly and put something in her belly. After waking up from the dream, Mrs. Yin was about to give birth to a child.

Normally born children look like milk dolls, but Nezha is different. When he was born, the room was full of red air, but the newborn child was a meat ball. Li Jing had never seen such a scene before, so he decided that the meat ball was a monster, so he picked up his accessories and chopped it at the meat ball.

Then everyone saw that the meat ball was slowly cracking open, and there lay a cute milk doll, with a gold bracelet on her left hand and a red ribbon wrapped around her body. As soon as he was born, there was a "Nezha" on the palm of his left hand, and a "Zha" on the palm of his right hand, and he was named "Nezha" because of this.

Li Jing looked at his third son who was different, and was wondering what to do with him when someone came to visit him at this time. This immortal immortal, who claimed to be the real Taiyi, came from Jinguang Cave in Qianyuan Mountain, and this time he came to accept Nezha as his disciple.

And he said to Li Jing: "The birth time of this doll is strange, it is a fate of 1,700 kills, and he was a spiritual bead in his previous life. If he wants to resolve such a fate, he must enter my sect and become my disciple. ."

After Li Jing heard it, he agreed to let the newly born Nezha become the disciple of the real Taiyi, and he no longer had the idea of ​​killing Nezha.

Cut the meat for the mother, cut the bones for the father

Nezha has a lively and active personality since he was a child. Li Jing and his wife asked him to practice martial arts since he was a child, but he did not expect that one day Nezha would get into a big disaster. When Nezha was seven years old, he felt that the weather was hot one day, so he took his family out of Chentang Pass to escape the summer heat. Then they came to Jiuwan River, and Nezha decided to take a bath here to relieve the heat.

So, he put the Huntian Ling in the water and took a bath with the water, but he didn't expect that after the Huntian Ling was in the water, it would dye the river red, and it would sway the river when it was swayed. The Jiuwan River is located at the mouth of the East China Sea, and the movement of Huntian Ling caused severe vibrations in the East China Sea Crystal Palace.

Therefore, Ao Guang, the Dragon King of the East China Sea, asked Yaksha to investigate the situation. The patrolling Yaksha looked terrifying, and Nezha made a rude remark, and the two exchanged hands. Nezha's martial arts skills were even higher, and he used the Qiankun circle to beat the patrolling Yaksha so much that he died on the riverbank.

Then, he used the river water to clean the dirty Qiankun circle. The two divine weapons, the Qiankun Circle and the Huntian Ling, turned the East China Sea Crystal Palace upside down again. The Dragon King of the East China Sea saw this movement and heard that the Xunhai Yaksha was beaten to death by a child, so he asked the third prince to come and investigate.

And when Nezha saw Ao Bing, the third prince of the Dragon King, who came to ask the teacher for his sins, he told him that he had come here to escape the summer heat, and that the patrolling Yaksha had disturbed him in his bath.

Ao Bing saw that Nezha had no remorse at all, and that he made a rude remark, and immediately got angry and moved his hands with Nezha. And Nezha has Huntian Ling and Qiankun Circle in hand, so he is not afraid of Ao Bing, and he will beat the third prince of the Dragon King back to his original form in a short time.

"Fengshen Romance": Why did Li Jing have to kill Nezha?Because Li Jing's third son was killed long ago

When Nezha saw Ao Bing recovering his dragon body on the ground, he wanted to give his father Li Jing a dragon tendon to wear his armor, and then he started to pull out Ao Bing's dragon tendon. He was only a seven-year-old child at the time, and he didn't realize that his actions had caused a terrible disaster.

The family he was accompanying would be frightened by Nezha, his bones were soft and sinew, and he couldn't move an inch. Ao Bing's father, Aoguang, the Dragon King of the East China Sea, once became brothers when he and Li Jing were studying Taoism in Western Kunlun. Now he heard that his own son was not only beaten to death by Li Jing's son, but also had the dragon tendon taken away, so he went to Chen Chen immediately . Tangguan asked Li Jingxing to question him.

Li Jing didn't know anything about this matter, so he thought that Aoguang admitted the wrong person. So, he found Nezha who was playing the dragon tendon in the back garden. Nezha presented Ao Bing's dragon tendon and told Li Jing the ins and outs of the matter.

"Fengshen Romance": Why did Li Jing have to kill Nezha?Because Li Jing's third son was killed long ago

He was stunned by what Nezha said, and immediately brought his third son, who was in trouble, to Aoguang to plead guilty. When Nezha saw the culprit, he said to Li Jing, "Li Jing, your son killed my son for no reason. Tomorrow I will go to heaven and tell the Jade Emperor about it. Your family will be punished."

Li Jing knew that Nezha broke into a catastrophe. He and his wife covered their faces and sobbed, worried about the impending catastrophe. When Nezha saw the expressions of his parents, he realized that he had brought disaster to his family at this time. In order not to drag his parents down, he even went to Qianyuan Mountain to find his master Taiyi Zhenren to discuss countermeasures.

According to the spell taught by his master, Nezha beat the Dragon King Ao Guang violently, beating him to the ground begging for mercy. At the same time, he pulled out ten of his dragon scales. He turned Ao Guang into a small snake and promised Li Jing that he would never again. Embarrass their family.

After seeing Li Jing, Ao Guang changed back into a human form, vehemently accused Nezha of his evil deeds, and said to Li Jing's family: "What Nezha has done to me, I will not let it go, and I will join forces with the other three The Sea Dragon King sued the Jade Emperor, your family should wait." After speaking, he left.

Soon after, Ao Guang, the Dragon King of the East China Sea, and the other Dragon Kings of the Three Seas took advantage of Nezha's absence to capture Li Jing and Lady Yin, and immediately took them to heaven to meet the Jade Emperor.

After learning about this, Nezha hurried back to Chentangguan and saw his parents being coerced by the Dragon King of the Four Seas. In order not to harm his parents, he immediately compromised and negotiated with the Dragon King of the Four Seas.

Nezha decided to take the blame for himself, so he suggested that he should cut his bones to return to his father, cut his flesh to return to his mother and cut off the relationship, and no longer implicate Li Jing and his wife. The Dragon King of the Four Seas accepted his proposal.

Afterwards, Nezha raised his sword and prepared to commit suicide. He cut off his arms, cut open his abdomen, stabbed out his intestines, and ripped his body into pieces, in return for his parents' birth and support. kindness.

The fact

After Nezha's death, his ghost entrusted Mrs. Yin with a dream and asked her to build a temple for him, so that his soul could enjoy the incense in the world for three years, so that he could return to the world again. Mrs. Yin, hiding from her husband, got rid of others on Cuiping Mountain and built a temple for Nezha. After the Nezha temple was built, there was an endless stream of incense.

However, Li Jing happened to pass through Cuiping Mountain once and learned that this was Nezha's temple. He was very angry and drove away the people who were offering incense. At the same time, he destroyed Nezha's golden body and burned the temple with a torch . He also reprimanded Mrs. Yin.

Li Jing let Nezha's hope of returning to the world failed. Was he really afraid that he would be read by a traitor and lose his black gauze cap during the reign of King Zhou of Shang, who was running rampant?

In fact, Li Jing is not because of this fear that his position as the chief soldier of Chen Tangguan will not be guaranteed. The real reason has to do with his third son. Nezha is not Li Jing's biological child, he is the reincarnation of Lingzhu, and the real Taiyi put the Lingzhu into Mrs. Li Jing's stomach before Nezha was born.

And when Li Jing's real third son was in Mrs. Yin's belly, it was already absorbed by Lingzhu, and the baby's mortal fetus was naturally unable to compete with Lingzhu.

As a result, Lingzhu successfully occupied the body of Li Jing's third son, and was reincarnated with the birth of the baby. For Li Jing, Lingzhuzi was not only his biological son, but also his son-killing enemy.

From the time Lingzhuzi was not born, Li Jing noticed the unusualness of this child. A child born three years and six months, even an ordinary person would be suspicious, not to mention Li Jing is not an ordinary person.

Li Jing used to seek Taoism in the Western Kunlun Mountains. He was a direct disciple of the real Duer. He also worshipped Jinlan with the Dragon King of the East China Sea. His cultivation and knowledge were naturally different from ordinary people. He had never heard of any normal child who needed to be pregnant for such a long time. .

In addition, his other two children, Jin Zha and Mu Zha, were born in normal ten months, so naturally the problem was not with him and Mrs. Yin, it was only possible that there was a problem with this child.

However, with the arrival of Taiyi Zhenren, he could not offend Qianyuan Mountain Jinguangdong, but it was better for Li Jing to know the origin of the child's spirit beads than to have no clue.

As soon as Nezha was born, he brought Huntian Ling and Qiankun Circle, these two magical weapons to protect Nezha. Although for Nezha, Li Jing was his father in the world, but even so, Li Jing could not take and control these two artifacts, and he had no chance to take revenge for killing his son.

As Nezha grew up, his control over Huntianling and Qiankun Circle became more skillful and his fighting power became stronger, which made Li Jing even more helpless to Nezha. It's just that he didn't expect that Nezha would be bold enough to kill the third prince of the Dragon King of the East China Sea, causing a catastrophic catastrophe, causing the Li Jing family to almost be wiped out.

"Fengshen Romance": Why did Li Jing have to kill Nezha?Because Li Jing's third son was killed long ago

It is impossible for Li Jing to have no resentment against this troubled child. He made the whole family involved in the disaster for no reason, and he also disturbed the peace of the people in Chentangguan.

Although Li Jing saw that Nezha committed suicide in order not to implicate him and Mrs. Yin, even if he was cold-blooded, he was moved by Nezha's filial piety, but Nezha's death also indirectly avenged him for killing his son. After he heard that Nezha asked Mrs. Yin to build a temple and learned that Nezha had a chance to return to the world, Li Jing panicked.

Nezha is his son-killing enemy. He has already written off this hatred by cutting his bones and returning to his father, but he will not forget this hatred. If Nezha returns to the world again, he doesn't know if he will break into something more serious than making trouble in the East China Sea again.

Li Jing still remembers the scene when he was almost escorted to heaven to be convicted by the Dragon King of the Four Seas. Nezha is the reincarnation of Lingzhu, and he can't restrain Nezha's behavior at all. If a similar disaster happens again, he may not be able to bear it.

With the help of Taiyi Zhenren, Nezha was reborn in the shape of lotus and lotus leaves. Immediately, he rushed to Chentangguan to find Li Jingbao to destroy his golden body and the hatred of destroying the temple, chasing Li Jing and fleeing in a hurry.

In the end, with the help of Daoist Burning Lamp, Li Jing relied on the deterrence of Linglong Pagoda, which made Nezha never seek Li Jing's revenge.
