In order to avoid the cruel king Zhou of Shang Dynasty and Boyi Shuqi, they lived on the shore of the North Sea and lived with the Dongyi people. Hearing the rise of King Wen of Zhou, the Western patriarch, China was stable and production developed rapidly. They said happily, "we should go back from Dongyi. We heard that Xibo's country is very stable and suitable for the elderly." so they made an appointment to go to the state of Zhou.
But in the middle of the journey, I met the army of King Wu of Zhou. It turned out that King Wen of Zhou had died. King Wu of Zhou drove the wooden owner of King Wen of Zhou to attack Shang and Zhou. Disappointed, the two of them kowtowed and admonished, "can it be regarded as filial piety if the father is not buried? Can it be regarded as benevolence to crusade against the monarch as a courtier?" King Wu's guards wanted to kill them. The military master Jiang Shang advised them to explain: "these are righteous people, don't kill them." so they helped them away.
Later, King Wu of Zhou and King Zhou of Shang fought in Muye, and the blood flowed with pestles. Because the slave soldiers before King Zhou of Shang defected, King Wu of Zhou won a decisive victory, destroyed the Shang Dynasty and established a new dynasty, the Zhou Dynasty.
Boyi Shuqi thought it was shameful and vowed not to eat the food of the Zhou Dynasty again. But at that time, all parts belonged to the Zhou Dynasty. They took each other to Shouyang mountain to pick osmanthus for food. When picking osmanthus, they sang a song and said, "go to the west mountain and pick osmanthus here. I really don't understand that it's right to use the means of rape to change the situation of rape. I'm afraid there won't be such a prosperous era. It's amazing that we go there! My life is coming to an end." So he starved to death on Shouyang mountain.
