Cang's Ramblings

Chapter 398 394. Comments on "The King Asked Me to Guard the Night"

Today I would like to recommend a new book to you.

This author's writing style is what I like.

"The King Asked Me to Guard the Night", Xinyi, Level 5 author.

Category: Fantasy-Eastern Fantasy.

【Introduction】

This is a world ruined by time travelers. There is Confucianism, Buddhism, and warriors, but there is no Taoism!
The young man entered a mountain temple where several foxes were reciting Tang poetry. Facing the demonic aura rising from the sky, the young man remained calm and composed: "I have come through this mountain only to seek the immortals and the Way. I wonder if any of you are my fellow travelers?"

With these words, the 'Forbidden World', which had been silent for three hundred years, awakened. The dilapidated stone statue of the mountain god suddenly opened its eyes and said, "What a quest for immortality and the Way. Let me ask you, what is the Way?"

The young man smiled and said, "I am the Tao!"

PS: This book is lighthearted and fun, without any abuse or blind hatred. The protagonist always adheres to one principle: "No matter if you are a human or a monster, you must run away after playing!"

【Golden Ten Chapters】

Chapter One: A world ruined by time travelers. In a mountain temple, several foxes recite Tang poetry. Poetry reading is too boring, so the little foxes beg the elder fox to entertain them with a story. The story gets interesting, and inevitably brings up the night watchman they dread so much. Then the protagonist appears, a pitiful individual who travels through time at the beginning, arrives without a system, and is instead beaten by the villagers.

Chapter Two, Yan Ruyu's Diary. The protagonist keeps a diary from the age of fifteen to nineteen, chronicling the joyful pain he endured at the hands of countless former time travelers. He lacks a system, is beaten for copying poetry, fails the child exam, is abducted to a mountain stronghold, and encounters a humanoid snake demon while bathing. In this diary, he recounts the openings of the past year's most popular novels. Finally, he decides to impersonate a night watchman—no, a night watchman.

Chapter Three: A hall overflowing with flowers intoxicates three thousand guests, a single sword chills fourteen states. The protagonist is a fake Night Watchman. Despite his fame, his palace of learning remains unopened. Facing a thousand-year-old fox demon, he is apprehensive. So he draws his sword and recites poetry in a feint, but the effect is far from satisfactory. The old fox is also alarmed; the Night Watchman's reputation makes him unapproachable. The young fox then reveals that his clan possesses ancient Taoist texts, and tensions rise once again, with a murderous intent imminent.

Chapter 4: The Forbidden World. The protagonist, struck by inspiration, claims to be a seeker of immortality and the Way, reciting the Tao Te Ching. The fox demons are instantly relieved, having been mistaken for fellow Taoists by the night watchman. The stone statue of the mountain god in the temple unexpectedly awakens, demanding to discuss Taoism with the protagonist.

Chapter 5: Seeking the Immortal to Learn the Truth. The mountain deity is an old one, and the protagonist is also a seasoned talker. He manages to gain the other's approval and inheritance through his persuasive tactics, and a mountain gate appears within him. Entering the temple, a group of fox demons, upon seeing the protagonist's true face, cannot help but drool.

Chapter 6: A higher plane of existence exists. Not far away, a group of three people carrying a coffin approach the mountain temple. Lightning illuminates the small flags on their waists; they are also a group of night watchmen. The protagonist awakens from his hallucination, horrified by the little white fox's tactics. He then writes, vaguely expressing his understanding of the Tao. Although the fox demons don't understand, they still worship him devoutly.

Chapter 7: I perceive your extraordinary talent, possessing the qualities of a great emperor. To test the fox spirits' trust in him, the protagonist deliberates and decides to begin with Thirteen Little Treasures, whom they despise, and praises him against his will. The fox spirits, naturally, are unconvinced. After a moment's reflection, the master suddenly realizes that the protagonist, a cultivator of the Dao, must possess some magical means of glimpsing the mysteries of the heavens.

In Chapter 8, the green is a ray of light, the white makes you panic. The protagonist then claims that another little white fox is even more gifted, the jewel of the fox clan. Mr. Big's imagination runs wild again, finally convincing himself that the protagonist is a descendant of Taoism and must be able to accurately judge people. But then the protagonist changes the subject, foreshadowing a disaster for the fox clan.

Chapter 9: Marrying into the Dragon King's family. The protagonist, with his eloquence, exaggerates the impending disaster for the fox clan while remaining vague about his desire for the ancient Taoist tome. Fortunately, the little white fox is quick-witted and points out the tome. The master also grasps the situation and decides to pass the tome along with the fourth son of the clan, marrying into the family, to Huangpiling. The protagonist talks for a long time, but all he has to say is sweet nothings.

Chapter 10: I suspect you have cataracts. The Night Patrol of the Capital came to Shangdang County to investigate the true whereabouts of the disaster relief funds. Wei Yu was then entering the Mountain God Temple. She possessed an imposing presence, but her eyes were gray, a tinge of cataracts or perhaps even white. However, before she could even speak, she slammed her head against the incense table and died. Silence fell upon the temple.

【Brief Comment】

Xinyi, a level 5 author and leader of the Shenzi Sect, has written seven works including "The Book of God", "The Shenmen", "The Shenhuan", and "High Energy Attack".

Another one is "War Epidemic: Protecting My City." He seems to be from Wuhan, so he wrote this realistic work. His previous book, "I Am the Myth Creator," was left unfinished. He himself said this was due to multiple blocked chapters, which prevented the book from appearing on the smart library search page. This caused subscriptions to be cut in half, seriously affecting his ability to support his family.

So the decision to stop updating actually means that the ending is bad.

His books, including "High Energy Attack", all have amazing beginnings and can capture the readers' hearts in an instant.

There are two very powerful points in the book Night Watch.

One is writing a diary. Though it's only two or three chapters long, the pages are packed with material, memes, and stories. The protagonist can't even pass the child exam; his level of education is truly incredible. It's not his fault, really; he just arrived too late, and the older generations have already messed up this world. They've already tried every possible technology.

The second is the start of a collection of popular novels. From my impression of the trial reading, it probably includes the following books.

The reading of Tang poetry by the Mountain God Temple Fox is similar to the “Walking Along the Abyss” by the platinum writer Zhai Zhu;

The discussion between the protagonist and the stone statue of the mountain god is similar to the conversation between the protagonist and the tiger spirit in "The Legend of the Broken Chess".
The protagonist is blessed with literary luck, which is similar to the setting of "The Great Sage of Confucianism and Taoism" by the great writer Yonghengzhihuo;
On his way to the imperial examination, he was captured by bandits and taken to a mountain stronghold, which is similar to the story of "Dream Back to the Spring of Ming Dynasty" by the great writer Wang Zijun.

The scene of encountering a human-shaped snake demon and being beaten by five snake demons is almost the same as the previously popular "Dawei Tianlong" Fahai stalk;

And don't panic, hold on to Thirteen, which is similar to the catchphrase of the great writer Chunjie Xiaolong in "Late Night Bookstore";
The setting of the night watchman is similar to that of the newspaper boy in "Dafeng Night Watchman";

It can be seen that Xinyi read a lot of books during the period when he took a break from writing a new book, or during the period when the previous book was serialized.

His style is actually similar to that of The Newspaper Boy, Ji Cha, Xin Feng, and Old Demon Boy. They are all talented authors who are good at both literature and martial arts, and can attack and defend.

I hope this book can be longer to prove that I am also a great writer!

【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】

This book is currently on the category recommendation and category cover, but the effect is not very good.

There are 1.4 collections on Qidian.com, 1365 collections in Bookstore, 58 fans, and 6 alliance leaders, all of whom are friendly alliances.

The data is a bit embarrassing.

It seems to have a lot to do with the two previous bad endings.

I hope he can hold on, otherwise this vicious cycle will continue forever!
