Cang's Ramblings

Chapter 233 232. Comments on Gu Dao Changsheng

Today I would like to recommend to you an urban novel whose style is forcibly reversed after five chapters.

"Gu Dao Changsheng", author: You will turn white when you sleep, a great writer.

Category: Urban-supernatural powers.

【Introduction】

I thought it was a realistic depiction of urban life, but the setting was changed just because of a disagreement!

Spiritual energy revives, Taoism reappears. This is probably a story of the transformation of modern civilization into a cultivation civilization.

…………

This book is still very ink-stained

【Golden Ten Chapters】

Chapter One, Phoenix Mountain. Early summer, Baicheng. Phoenix Mountain is Baicheng's only notable attraction, renowned for its ingeniously designed trails, attracting numerous hiking enthusiasts. One day, a group of hikers set out for Lao Niu Bei, a famous scenic spot on Phoenix Mountain. Two girls, taking a break, bought tea eggs and spotted the incredibly handsome tea egg vendor. Unfortunately, they were unable to connect with him. Just as their final mountain trails were unintentional, they also failed to penetrate further.

Chapter 2: Strange. The two girls returned to the tea egg vendor, who was also surprised. After inquiring about the reason, he pointed out a shortcut and gave them a sachet that repelled snakes. As expected, the two girls encountered a snake and were able to repel it. After successfully returning to the car, even the team leader was impressed by their speed.

Chapter 3, Gu Yu (Part 1). The protagonist, Gu Yu, comes from a poor family. He spends his days in the mountains, occasionally enjoying dumplings delivered by a neighbor at night, or a neighbor girl using his computer. He then takes up a website for handmade incense, answering questions and earning a little extra cash.

Chapter 4, Gu Yu (Part 2). The protagonist's grandfather passed away, and although he dropped out of college, he inherited his grandfather's incense-making skills. It's a rare craft, but the process itself is quite informative. The next day, while setting up a stall in the mountains, the protagonist and his neighbor encountered a green snake hunting.

Chapter 5: Stirring Up Things. The protagonist rescues a squirrel from a green snake. The snake is venomous, but the squirrel is grateful. Sure enough, the squirrel brings him a fruit. The protagonist reluctantly eats it, and immediately experiences a strange transformation. Is this an awakening?
Chapter 6: Change. Having been opened to life by the squirrel, the protagonist immediately meditates to sense the changes in his body. Hmm, there's a pool of energy in my dantian, but I don't know how to use it. Making incense at night is incredibly efficient and high-quality. But I can't sleep. What should I do?

Chapter 7: The Buyer. The protagonist practiced breathing exercises alone for a long time, to no avail. After climbing the mountain, he and the squirrel had breakfast together when a couple arrived. The girl was busy trying to feed the squirrel, while the boy took a fancy to the protagonist's newly made sachet.

Chapter 8, The Zeng Family. The boy who bought the sachet is Zeng Shufei. He's been vying with his sister for the family's leadership position. Who wouldn't be tempted by billions in assets? It's his grandmother's birthday, and she's into perfume lately. The sachet he bought from the protagonist might be a boost.

Chapter 9: Expert. The old man felt the fragrance was unique, revealing a sense of leisure and transcendence, and concluded that the person who made the incense must be an absolute expert. Zeng Shufei immediately promised to ask for the expert tomorrow. His sister's expensively purchased agarwood was a complete failure.

Chapter 10: The Clouds Recesses. A brother and sister woke up early to climb the mountain. For the sister, the climb wasn't difficult. The trouble was, the brother brought his girlfriend with him, hanging around all the way. In the end, they came up empty-handed, with no contact information. Desperately descending the mountain, the clever sister approached the sanitation worker, only to be met with a devastating answer.

【Brief Comment】

The first five chapters of this book are about urban life, but starting from the sixth chapter, the style is forcibly reversed and changed to urban superpowers.

It is said that this is due to reader feedback and market research. After all, authors mostly write books to make a living.

This book is different from ordinary urban superpowers.

The protagonist's knowledge background is very obscure, and for most readers, incense making is a profession that they have almost no contact with.

Even playing with incense is an extremely unpopular entertainment activity.

From selling incense, making incense, playing with incense, to discussing incense, such an ordinary and obscure field was actually written with a different flavor by the author.

Only female authors have the patience to study this type of work.

It is not seen that those male platinum masters focus on feng shui, tomb robbing, super physiognomy and other fields that are easy to attract people.

Incense making? Sorry, it's a really difficult field to understand.

We can even say bluntly that if someone else were to write this, it would definitely fail.

As for the later period of cultivating immortals, it became much more popular, unlike the niche activity of making incense.

Therefore, the later results were not so dazzling.

As for the author's nickname "Young Lady White", it is also greatly reflected in this book. Friends who are interested can go and find it one by one. Her attainments in this area also remind me of the writing style of another great writer Xinfeng.

The nickname of Shaoshoubai’s fans is “Laobai Driving School”, and the nickname of Xinfeng’s fans is “Wufeng Army”.

It can be seen that among the great writers, Shaoshao Bai is also a well-known figure.

I believe that even if they are the offline gays of the great stars, she can make those young great stars born in the 90s cry with tears in their eyes.

I've said so many random things, but actually I just want everyone to go and see it for themselves, because if I say too much, it will easily spoil the plot, which is not good.

What's more, her excellent writing style and wonderful stories are really not easy to summarize accurately.

【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】

First of all, I would like to thank the 2014 book friends for the reward of 1000 Qidian coins.

Secondly, this book is the second one that makes you white when you sleep.

Her first book is "Literary Times".

I originally planned to introduce "Literary Times" first, but I had a big worry in my heart.

Yesterday when I was posting the book list on my column, I was reminded that "Literary Times" is not suitable for the column.

Moreover, the book is blocked on the web version and can only be read on the APP.

In addition, I revised one chapter twice and didn’t release it.

For various reasons, I, who just wanted to stick to perfect attendance, did not dare to specifically include "Literary Times".

That book has been highly recommended by countless readers, and I have also read it briefly. It is a book that can be compared with "Starting from 1983".

In addition, some people complained that her book updates were a bit slow and the plots were starting to become watery.

This is actually a bit inevitable, especially in this book, the author has cultivated to the realm of earthly immortals, not only can he live forever, but he is also invincible.

However, Shao Nu Bai's urban writing is more exciting, especially the period writing, which is full of flavor.

Her other attempts are not her forte, and forcing herself to write will only lead to a loss of beauty.

So, among her three books, I personally prefer the first part of "Starting from 1983".

Having said that, her descriptions of life details are really lifelike and full of experience.

It feels like people have no secrets in front of her, as if they can be seen through at a glance.

Reading her book made me realize more and more that no one succeeds easily.

If you want to write a work that satisfies readers, it will be nothing but wishful thinking without real effort and perseverance.

Finally, I end this chapter with a classic line from a debater on “The Rap of China”:

"Are you more knowledgeable today than you were yesterday?"
