Cang's Ramblings

Chapter 432 428. Comments on "The Book of the Dead"

Today I would like to recommend to you a martial arts novel with a somewhat creepy title.

"The Book of the Dead", Bing Linshenxia, ​​level 5 author.

Category: Martial Arts - Martial Arts Fantasy.

【Introduction】

A book about the dead is half a book about no morality.

Behead thousands of people and eat hundreds of bones.

【Golden Ten Chapters】

Chapter One: Leaving the Manor. At the Gu family manor in the Western Regions, the protagonist, Gu Shenwei, is fourteen years old, still innocent and unaware of the dangers of the world. His father is a general, renowned in the martial arts world. His sister is about to marry, but recently, knights and assassins have been stalking the manor and launching attacks. He is arranged by his father to send his sister off early. Everything is strange, yet he remains oblivious.

Chapter 2: Pursuers. They left the Gu residence and hadn't gone far when they encountered pursuers. Old servant Yang Zheng, a stranger, had only learned the Gu family's spearmanship. With a simple stab, he dispatched three pursuers. However, the situation didn't ease, so he privately instructed the protagonist to flee and seek help from the city. In reality, he was only doing this to save the protagonist's life, fearing the others would not survive.

Chapter Three: The Massacre of an entire family. The protagonist rode for a long time, met some people at a fork in the road, and after asking around, he learned that there was no Marshal Yang in the city. He then realized that he seemed to be isolated from something. He rode back and found the bodies of Yang Zheng and his sister. He ran back home, and the tragedy of the massacre of his entire family unfolded before his eyes. The devastating blow did not break him, and the flames of revenge burned fiercely in his heart. He found his father's hidden "Harmony Power" technique, but a whistle sounded in the distance.

Chapter 4, Crossroads. The protagonist quickly hid, but was soon discovered by a group of bandits, specifically looking for scavengers. He was taken captive and mixed with others, taken to a place and locked up. His martial arts skills were burned, but the white silk contained within was hidden in his mouth. When the two groups of bandits met, he heard from one of them that the enemy who had wiped out his family was the King of Uniqueness.

Chapter 5, The Swordsman. The bandits waited at the intersection, daring not to cross the line. King Du Bu's territory was untouchable. A swordsman approached from afar, introducing himself as a member of the Great Snow Mountain, a rival of King Du Bu. The six bandits who had robbed the protagonist were instantly slain, powerless to resist. The two young captives in front of the protagonist were also slain by the swordsman. His own seemingly righteous words seemed destined for destruction.

Chapter 6: The Assassin. The Snow Mountain Swordsman confronts the Golden Roc Fort Assassin. The two engage in close combat, then rapidly engage. However, after each exchange, the Assassin immediately retreats out of the Swordsman's reach. The battle ends swiftly, the Swordsman poisoned and slowly stabbed to death by the Assassin. In subsequent transactions, slaves, including the protagonist, are taken away by new masters, despite their original masters having been killed by the Swordsman.

Chapter 7, Pointed Face. The slaves in the caravan the protagonist is in are all teenagers. Among them is a boy with a pointy face who speaks fluently in multiple dialects and repeatedly uses the phrase "wash it clean" as a catchphrase to frighten these naive children. When another group of bandits stops the caravan and asks to buy people, the protagonist and the boy with the pointy face are both chosen.

Chapter 8: Bandit Camp. The protagonist and his companions were bought by the bandit leader as a betrothal gift, as his daughter was to be married to the son of the Unrivaled King. Unfortunately, after a long wait, they still had no plans. One night, two children attempted to escape the bandit camp, but were reported by the pointed-faced child. Xue Niang appeared and easily apprehended them.

Chapter 9: Oath of Brotherhood. Neither the one who escaped nor the one who informed on the matter died; they were simply severely beaten. The protagonist had always wanted to follow the eldest daughter into the Dubu King's stronghold and find out who had massacred his entire family. Afterwards, the poor children, encouraged by the pointed-faced boy, agreed to the other's proposal of sworn brotherhood. In reality, no one was convinced by the other's so-called solemn promises. The children's words were of no use.

Chapter 10, The Groom. The groom Shangguan Nu is the eighth son of the King of Uniqueness. He is stationed at the police station in the market. When the two meet, they are particularly jealous. The protagonist knows that he does not have the strength to press the enemy to the ground and rub him madly, but as long as time passes, he will definitely be able to

【Brief Comment】

Bing Linshenxia is a level 5 author, who has written five novels, including "The Book of the Dead", "Exorcising Demons", "The Child Emperor", "The Evil of the Ming Dynasty", and "The Conspiracy to Rule the Nine Provinces". The first two are martial arts and fairy tales, and the last three are historical novels.

"The Book of the Dead" has 9.83 collections on Qidian.com, 7.24 collections in the bookstore, 27 fans, and 7 alliance leaders.

This book is not his best, but its style is very distinct and it can even be regarded as his representative work.

Because the title of the book is very memorable, and it is also a very mysterious martial art that is often mentioned in many novels.

The title of the book is very cruel and dangerous. I wonder if it touches the boundaries of the mystical.

I was drawn to the author's personal interpretation of "Wu Song." His understanding of the jianghu is fascinating, and I won't judge whether it's correct or not. Interested readers can first read his account of Wu Song's transformation after his three murders. The early part of the book is quite depressing and realistic, even too real. This is the first time I've seen a wuxia novel so realistically portray a tragic family massacre and its aftermath.

This may be the world of martial arts in the author's mind, bloody but very real.

I won’t go into detail here, if you’re interested you can go and have a look yourself.

It is a very good martial arts novel!

【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】

When I first found this book, I thought it was a suspense thriller.

After the content was opened, the protagonist's entire family was wiped out right away, which gradually conforms to the "parents sacrifice to heaven" method of the protagonist in online novels.

Only suffering can make people grow.

As the plot unfolds, the protagonist will gradually transform from an innocent young master into a ruthless person.

I received a lot of feedback from readers saying that the first half of the book was amazing, but the second half was a bit confusing.

This evaluation should be relatively fair, because many popular books have the same result.

In addition, there are also considerable risks in including this book in the short story category.

That article was published a long time ago and has never been released.

Therefore, after this article is successfully published, everyone must read it in time.

There are too many restrictions on writing nowadays, which constrain thoughts and cause many authors' new books to fail mercilessly.

Even new books released by platinum writers can sometimes fail.

There are indeed many.

Finally, I would like to give a friendly reminder to those friends who are planning to devote themselves to online writing: think twice.
