From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Jade Pipa a character featured within the famed ancient Chinese novel Investiture of the Gods (more commonly known as Fengshen Yanyi). Fat-Belly Guitar Jade Pipa is one of three renowned female specters under the legendary Nu Wa. After Jade Pipa - as like both Daji and Splendor - was ordered by Nu Wa to bring chaos to the Shang Dynasty, Jade Pipa would not be shown until the time of chapter 16. At one point in time when Jade Pipa had returned from a visit with her friend, Daji, she happened to find Jiang Baby Tooth with a large crowd of people around the fortune telling studio. Thus, Jade Pipa would turn herslelf into a very attractive young woman and approach Jiang for a fortune. Unfortunately for Jade however, Jiang could see that she was truly an evil specter in disguise; the palm reading still continued however. Once Jiang became more forceful and would not let go of Jade Pipa's palm, she began to scream and ask for help with the people around her. Due to this, Jiang had no choice but to smack her over the head with an ink stone -- which would kill her mortal body. Following this point, Jiang would never let go of Jade Pipa's palm so that the true specter could not escape. Soon enough, Jade Pipa was set around a large amount of firewood and set aflame after varied juju's were set as to prevent her true self from escaping. Once everyone realized that even her hair never burned or even got caught on fire, Jade Pipa would end up being burned to death once Jiang unleashed a triple divine fire combined with shattering lightning. Five years following her death, Jade Pipa would finally be revived once again after Daji gathered the essence of both the moon and the sun.
