summary of the story
This book includes stories such as the Seven-Star King Lu, The Wrath of the Sea, The Sacred Tree of Qinling Mountains, The Palace on the Clouds, The Ghost Town of Snake Marsh, The Return of the Mysterious Sea, The Ancient Tower of Yinshan, and The Shadow of Qionglong Stone.

The trial reading part mainly tells the story of the Seven-Star Lu Palace. It is also the beginning of the protagonist Wu Xie's formal exposure to family secrets, and the beginning of his entanglement with his younger brother Zhang Qiling.

Character characteristics
The protagonist Wu Xie, just like his name, is simple and likes to act, but he is loyal and righteous. Even when he is in various dangerous situations, he still dares to take the responsibility of his family. He even puts himself in danger again and again in order to find the trace of his third uncle and the secret of his younger brother.

Brother Zhang Qiling, the last Zhang Qiling of the Zhang family, finally follows the Yin soldiers through the giant bronze gate. Whether the ten-year agreement is fulfilled or not is left unanswered in the book. Fatty Wang, one of the Golden Triangle, is a tomb raider and the comedian, but he is also a strong public relations expert with a chivalrous heart.

Style characteristics
"Grave Robbers' Chronicles" and "Ghost Blows Out the Light" are the pinnacle works on the theme of tomb robbing in the history of online literature. It is hard to say which one is better.

However, one thing must be admitted, "Ghost Blows Out the Light" is a gem.

And "Grave Robbers' Chronicles" is "better than its predecessor"!
There is no need to deliberately compare the pros and cons. Just get them together and you will never suffer a loss.

【to sum up】

Writing is not easy, so cherish every moment!

I’m Cang Yiwei, and I’m here to promote “Cang’s Ramblings”!
Welcome to the paradise of book reviews.

【Cang's Ramblings】

Starting today, I will take the time to sort out the entire "Grave Robbers' Chronicles" series and "Ghost Blows Out the Light" series.

Of course, I am not going to write down every story, just give a brief introduction.

Due to the limitations of Qidian, I will not introduce the resources on external sites in detail.

If you have read the online and physical versions, you can also communicate more in the book club or in this chapter.

After all, it is a classic work, and everyone has their own interpretation. It does not need to be influenced by my personal understanding.

Reading, everyone is a free soul.

By the way, I haven’t finished reading the entire "Grave Robbers’ Chronicles". The plot seems to have stopped at the Yinshan Ancient Tower.

Moreover, I watched "Grave Robbers' Chronicles" first, and then "Ghost Blows Out the Light".

Whether this will affect the initial experience of the two is not yet clear.

I don't want to make any premature judgments.

Dear readers, please treat me as an ignorant teenager facing these two series for the first time.

Sometimes, it really doesn't feel bad to be a newbie.

Today I would like to especially thank a certain reader for explaining it to me, because someone commented in the second chapter that my interpretation of "The Sword Comes" was incorrect.

This is normal!

I really didn't watch much of the plot.

I read "Lord of Mysteries" seven or eight times before I got to more than a hundred chapters.

Everyone has different reading preferences, but that doesn't stop me from trying to read interesting books.

Also, thank you to Saoyeseng for his passionate reward yesterday, which gave me the illusion of being supported.

Preview: The next one should be "Ghost Blows Out the Light", don’t ask me why I put "Grave Robbers’ Chronicles" in front.
