Synopsis

Synopsis of Gu Long's wuxia novel, "Ten Years of Jianghu Night Rain":

Wei Dan, famed as “Flying Rings and Iron Sword Shaking the Central Plains,” was attacked by the master and disciples of Ouyang the Old Monster of West Kunlun, who joined forces with the Two Fiends of the Snow Sea from the Northern Tianshan Mountains. Though he finally fought his way out, he succumbed to the poison. His son, Wei Mingyuan, took up his father's “Two-Aspect Steel Rings,” bent on avenging him, and went to Ghost Valley to study under a mysterious figure known as “Ghost.” Having heard that Ghost had a strange temper and would kill people on a whim, and that the valley was littered with bones, Wei Mingyuan had no idea how to enter the perilous valley and fulfill his wish to become Ghost's disciple. He lingered outside Ghost Valley, hesitant to enter. Later, at a tavern outside the valley, he met Hu Ziyu, a blind in one eye, lame old man. Hu Ziyu showed him how to get into Ghost Valley and helped him hold off the “Three Evils of Dongchuan.” He devised a way to kill all three, preventing them from using two of the three treasures of the “Heavenly Fragrance Trio” they carried to demand that Ghost accept them as his final disciples. Thus Wei Mingyuan became Ghost's successor.

Any Pure Wuxia Novels?

Any good martial arts stories? People hardly write wuxia these days. I miss it. Nowadays, everyone gets a System and cheats their way to immortality and godhood, with divine physiques and all that. I'm sick of it. It's so boring. I want to feel the thrill of roaming the world with a sword and settling scores with a sense of justice.
