“So what if you’re human? Without a kind and loving heart, you’re nothing but a walking corpse. So what if you’re a demon? With a sense of righteousness and moral cultivation, you can uphold justice and save the people! So what if you’re a god? If you can’t tell right from wrong and bring misery to living beings, you’re worse than an animal!” I roared in fury. A great battle was about to erupt.…
Some things belong to a past life, and some may belong to a life yet to come. You just haven’t woken up yet…
The year I was born, the Seven Stars aligned, and the heavens showed strange signs.
That day happened to be the Ghost Festival, on the fifteenth day of the seventh lunar month, at midnight. My parents thought I was an ill omen, but there was nothing they could do. My grandfather, Zhang Fengzi, however, said I was a great blessing sent from Heaven, and treasured me dearly. I was the fourth child in the family, with three older sisters, so Grandpa named me Zhang Longtian. He had planned to use the character for “add,” meaning another person had joined the family and the household would flourish, but he said it was too hard to write, so he went with “Tian” instead, hoping I would become a dragon and soar through the skies. My childhood and teenage years were mostly unremarkable. But after I graduated from university, all the strange events and experiences that followed left me utterly baffled. They were all inevitably connected to my grandfather, Zhang Fengzi. He changed the course of the rest of my life. His real name wasn’t Zhang Fengzi, but Zhang Fengyu. He was a respected old doctor of traditional Chinese medicine in our area, renowned for both his skill and his integrity. But he never did things by the book and often acted in ways no one expected, so people called him Zhang Fengzi, “Madman Zhang.” In time, everyone forgot his real name, but mention Madman Zhang of Heishi Village and everyone knew who you meant. Everything that happened as I grew up started with him, or perhaps it had all been destined from the beginning. Who knows? Where does reality begin?
"Secret Records of Southern Yunnan" takes Heishi Village in southern Yunnan as a guide and weaves a fateful story intertwined with folklore and fantasy. The protagonist Zhang Longtian, who is regarded as "unlucky" but cherished by his grandfather, is a suspenseful foreshadowing at the beginning of the story. Use delicate brushstrokes to outline the texture of the secret: the village backed by the Daheishan Mountains, grandpa's wooden attic, and the mysterious origins of the Bai people, seamlessly integrating the customs of southern Yunnan with fantasy elements. The fierce battle with the four emperors and gods in the prologue is exciting, but in reality, the exploration of grandfather's last wish after his death is laid out calmly, and the two-line narrative of the past and the present is full of tension. The questioning of "whether it's a god or a demon, only morality determines" runs throughout, making the fantasy fighting go beyond visual stimulation and adding an extra layer of human thinking. The mysterious past of grandfather "Crazy Zhang", the secret relationship between sacred objects and blood, and every foreshadowing lead readers to delve deeper into the secret realm. This work has both the beautiful background of the mountains and rivers of southern Yunnan and the majestic power of fateful struggle. It is immersive to read. @Everyone
It looks good, keep writing, I will be your loyal fan. This novel gets better and better the more I read it. I asked the author and he said that he has already typed up the manuscript. I enjoy reading it every time. In fact, this novel can later be made into a Chinese version of "Tomb Raider" and made into a game. The scenery descriptions in it are very beautiful. Compared with many fast-paced novels, this novel makes people calm down and read more, making them feel physically and mentally happy. It requires patience to read to the end to find it exciting. You won't be late for a good meal, and each chapter can also become an independent story. I continue to look forward to more exciting follow-ups. After reading this, I want to travel to Yunnan. 🤭 This book features Lord Mahakala as the protagonist. Mahakala is the black god of wealth. During the reading period, some magical things happened, and good luck continued. It is really strange. I wish everyone good luck and wealth.
