The story revolves around the offering of incense in the palace of Nuwa, King of Zhou, and tells a series of events caused by King Zhou's absurd behavior in the late Shang Dynasty. The specific content is as follows:
1. King Zhou went to Nuwa Palace to offer incense: In the spring of the seventh year of King Zhou of Shang Dynasty, heavy snow fell in Chaoge City. When King Zhou was enjoying the snow on Lutai, he remembered the murals of Nuwa Palace and decided to go to offer incense. When the Grand Master heard that Zhong was marching to the north, the court was controlled by Fei Zhong and You Hun, who were extremely flattering to King Zhou. King Zhou Luan was traveling in his chariot when the shaft of his chariot broke. However, he was attracted by a girl selling candied haws on the roadside. Fei Zhong also proposed to rob someone for him.
2. King Zhou blasphemed Nuwa: After arriving at Nuwa Palace, strong winds took off the veil of the statue of Nuwa. King Zhou was bewildered by her beauty, ignored Shang Rong's dissuasion, and wrote blasphemous verses on the wall. When Nuwa returned to the palace and saw Shi, she was furious and decided to bring disaster. Although she did not take action directly because King Zhou still had twenty-eight years of luck, she summoned all the demons in the world and left behind the three demons of Xuanyuan Tomb. She ordered them to hide their demonic form and enter the palace to confuse King Zhou. After successfully assisting King Wu to defeat Zhou, they can achieve positive results.
3. The absurd behavior of King Zhou and the three demons: After King Zhou returned to the palace, he could not forget Nuwa and did not think about food or tea. Fei Zhong and You Hun proposed a nationwide audition for beauties, and King Zhou happily gave the order. Huang Feihu shook his head, worried that Wen Zhong would punish King Zhou when he returned. The three demons took orders: the fox spirit transformed into Daji, the pheasant spirit transformed into Hu Ximei, and the pipa spirit became the king's nobleman. They misbehaved in the harem and set up torture basins, cannons and other tortures. However, King Zhou was obsessed with it and even called it the pursuit of art.
4. Reactions from all parties: When Xibo Hou Jichang heard the news, he had a premonition that the Shang Dynasty was about to run out of power, and his son Ji Fa wanted to rebel, but he stopped him. Nuwa sneered in the clouds and predicted that "the phoenix will ring in Qishan, and the Zhou Dynasty will be prosperous", which indicates that the world will be in chaos and the Shang Dynasty's rule will be in danger.
Intention: 1. Power and desire 2. Loyalty and betrayal
