In fiction · Investiture of the Gods
Originally a grain transport officer under Su Hu, the Marquis of Jizhou, he apprenticed to Immortal Du'e and cultivated the unique art of emitting a white light from his nose to capture souls. After following Su Hu in surrendering to the Zhou dynasty, he served as the grain transport officer for the three armies, repeatedly using his unique art to capture Shang generals. He was later killed by Jin Dasheng and was enfeoffed as one of the Heng-Ha Er Jiang.
History vs. fiction
The Formation of Heng and Ha Er Jiang and the Investiture of the Gods
In the novel, Zheng Lun and Chen Qi respectively master the soul-capturing arts of 'Heng' and 'Ha', and ultimately are jointly appointed as the 'Heng and Ha Er Jiang' guarding the mountain gate and protecting treasures. The prototype of this divine pair is actually the two Vajra guardians commonly seen in the mountain gate halls of Buddhist temples. The author of the Ming dynasty novel, with astonishing imagination, thoroughly localized and secularized these two Buddhist guardian deities, endowing them with the identities of Shang and Zhou dynasty military officers (such as setting Zheng Lun as a subordinate of Su Hu) and Daoist magic. In historical records of the Shang and Zhou dynasties such as the Records of the Grand Historian, there is absolutely no record of such divine generals who defeat enemies by sound waves.
