20.12.3 I had a lot of feelings after reading "That Cicada That Sword That Year". Looking back, I remembered what I felt today. In this world, there is the Daqi Dynasty, the three schools of Taoism, Buddhism, Confucianism, the Sword Sect, the Taoism, and the Buddhism. There are Han Xuan, Gongsun Zhongmou, Zhang Xueyao, and Xu Beiyou (pseudonym Nan). Gui), Xiao Zhinan, Qin Mumian, Tang Lianyue, Qi Xianyun, Qiuye, Murong Xuan, Murong Xuanyin, Wanyan Beiyue... The characters are flesh and blood, with full-bodied images. Everyone has their own personality characteristics, their own pursuits and ideas, and they have nothing to do with right or wrong, or good or evil. The logic of this book is strict, and there is no discomfort when reading it (the background setting is not a certain dynasty in history, but a combination of multiple periods). In addition, this book has a single female protagonist, no harem, no beauties, and the male protagonist only loves the female protagonist and does not have ambiguities with others. Reading is like tasting tea. Savor it carefully and you will know its pure fragrance. I started from being carefree and traveling with the wind, and soared up to 90,000 miles - "That Year" I am eighty years old and eighteen years old. You are a beauty and I have gray hair. The same Geng as Qing was reversed, with only a sixty-year-old in between - "That Year" Eighteen-year-old bride and eighty-year-old man, with pale hair and red makeup. The mandarin ducks were twined under the quilt at night, and the pear blossoms pressed against the begonias - "That Year" In life, you must abide by the rules, be reasonable, and take responsibility. Rules don't matter good or evil, principles don't matter right or wrong, responsibilities don't matter right or wrong - "That Year" The country is worried about growing old before it snows, and the fairy sword in the box makes a sound at night - "That Year" The old man looked at the only disciple in his life and whispered to himself: "Today there are carps in the pond, the sky is high with fish leaping, there are twelve dragon gates, and from now on people in the sky will be in heaven." - "That Year"
One summer does not regret holding the long sword, one cicada does not regret meeting Zhongmou, this life will live up to Xiao Zhinan, and I still see Xu Beiyou in those days I will never regret entering the world of martial arts in this life, the whole book is finished!
I think the author can contact the director or something to make a TV series. It would be pretty good. Reading it is like watching TV, and the sense of immersion is very strong👍
I think this novel has four very big shining points. First, it must be emphasized: the writing style is really nb, which is definitely better than that of most Internet authors. You don't need to give examples, just read two chapters, or look at the table of contents. Very few authors can be so careful about the table of contents. It is very poetic. Second, you can really feel the growth of the protagonist. From the immature at the beginning to the mature protagonist, the protagonist has really changed a lot. This is something that cannot be felt at all in many novels. It's probably because the author created the characters so well. Third. The plot of this book is very naughty, and there are always unexpected places. From the very beginning of Chonglong Temple, the author is laying the groundwork, and only reveals it at the end. Another example is Qiuyue's visit to greet the pig's feet, which is also really unexpected. It is not the kind of plot that can be guessed at a glance, but requires careful thinking. Fourth, and what I personally think is the most important point, is that this book has some unique views on the world. This view is very real and seems very natural rather than rigid. Another small suggestion is that I couldn't understand the relationship between the characters at first, which one was the ally and which one was the enemy. I couldn't tell at all, but I thought it didn't matter. Later, I gradually understood that the author would give a small reminder when the characters appear.
A magnificent world of martial arts and a world of immortality. The three-foot-high Qingfeng of the world can defeat the evil god with a sword in his hand.
I feel astonished by this kind of world. From the time when Zhu Xian was born in exchange for cicada to the end of returning to Danxia Village, the echo between the front and the end feels so good.
Although the protagonist has constant luck, he is single-minded; he has lofty ambitions and works hard; he understands the ways of the world; he is proud of the world. Good book, good book!
This book really beats most of the books on Tomato. The characters described are flesh-and-blood, which is not comparable to ordinary short-term novels!
The language of this book is very beautiful, and the author's writing is also very tactful. But it's not my type. But also very fascinating.
After reading this book on May 14, 2021, I felt that the writing was very good and the stories in the book seemed to come from my heart. I realized that I had suddenly finished reading the book, and I felt that I was at a loss and that I still had not finished it! Dear book friends, the mountains are high and the rivers are long. Goodbye!
