In a chaotic age, demons and monsters run rampant, and human lives are worth no more than grass.
The down-and-out scholar Xiao Ye had hoped to pass the imperial exams and find a way for all the people of the world to survive, but an old dog led him astray.
“Kid, I’ve got a book here that’s perfect for you!”
“What book?”
“A book of sages, naturally.”
“Hand it over! We scholars should be reading more books of sages.”
Years later, after Xiao Ye beats a peak great demon to death with his bare fists, he gazes at the surging killing intent that blankets the sky above and can no longer keep his composure.
“Old Huang, is this the book of sages you were talking about?”
Cleverly conceived and profoundly written, it is well worth reading.
I just watched it and it feels pretty good
Wonderful writing, different stories
Taoist or Confucianist?
