Image description

Wei Hu is a character from the classic Ming Dynasty novel 'Fengshen Yanyi', and was an analogue of Skanda (Kartikeya), the Hindu god of war. He was a disciple of the Heavenly Master of Divine Virtue, and wielded a demon suppression club. Possessed of monstrous strength, Wei Hu was bloodthirsty and loved fighting. He was sent to assist Jiang Ziya in the sage's fight against the Shang Dynasty by his master, and often fought alongside Nezha and other heroes opposed to the cruel King Zhou of Shang. He developed a close comradeship with Yang Ren, and was appointed as executioner of the vixen spirit Pipa Jing. Editor: Anandajoti
