I especially like Lao Jiu's book. I read The Underworld Detective before reading The Merchant. Anyway, it's just two words, wonderful!
Daoist Laojiu's books are all good. I think this one and The Detective of the Underworld are both good. At least they are exciting, scary and fun enough, hahaha
I read Detective of the Underworld first and then The Merchant. Uncle Jiu's book is really, really good.
I thought about several endings but never thought of this one. Daomen Laojiu's "The Merchant of Evil Things", "Secrets of the Mountains and Seas", and "The Detective of the Underworld" are really super good-looking. I don't know if Daomen Laojiu has any other works☺️
This book deserves five stars. I read it from summer vacation to winter vacation. What impressed me most was the description of some characters in the book. Some mythological stories can show the author's historical and Chinese skills. I have a certain understanding of these historical figures, but I did not expect that in the author's writing, they turned out to be so magical. Thanks to the author for letting me see them differently, and I hope the author can write better books, come on! The Kunlun Mountains described by the author in the book are really like a fairyland, so when I grow up, I will definitely go and see the legendary Kunlun Mountains with my own eyes. Moreover, the book's description of some outlook on life and values made me feel a strong sense of patriotism, so this book is my favorite book among all horror novels. I hope the author can write more.
The content of this book is well written, and it fully connects the characteristics of many people with historical figures, allowing people to understand history while reading the book. Each of the characters he writes has flesh and blood, and they are creating their own legends in their own way.
It's nice to read. Lao Jiu's book is really nice. The sense of immersion is really strong. You can't help but be nervous and scared. But I personally think that the supporting characters are too weak. At the beginning, only the protagonist's classmate has a little ability, but then the supporting characters can't do anything and are always making trouble. It's very annoying and annoying. I hope it will be better in the future. In the end, it is better to let the supporting characters have a little bit of ability, like Huang Xiaotao in The Underworld Detective. It would be better if they can all play their roles. The last point is that some parts have been deleted a lot and they can't be connected. I hope there can be fewer cuts. In the end, as a member of the Jiujia Army, I still have to call for Lao Jiu. Great, great!
It took me more than half a year to finally read this book word for word. It is really emotional that the protagonist has achieved great things step by step since he was a young boy. I really hope that they can all survive the book that has been with me for so long. But life is short and things are unpredictable. There are always joys and sorrows that we need to experience to make life. It really made me cry many times. People like Senior Shu, Zen Master Baimei, Han Laoliu, Caiyun, Taoist Yiqing, etc. Have taught Jiulin and us readers a lot of truths with their lives. Not to mention that this book may be a bit boring at first, but after getting into it, it is really suitable for retirement (no) haha, it becomes more and more exciting as you go to the end. There is no immortality, no harem, a protagonist and an author with very upright views, which satisfied my fantasy of supernatural novels. It's really, really, really worth watching carefully.
Detective link from the underworld. Jiuye's level is naturally stable. I'll give it a second brush when I have time, but of course that's a story for another day…
The characters' personalities are described very clearly, and some words are expressed very appropriately. The novel content of the story gives people a bright feeling, and it also teaches us a lot about how to survive in this society.
