Brilliant Historical Fiction, Rated 9 or Higher, Meticulously Researched, with a Down-to-Earth Protagonist
I've read a lot of stories like this, even some highly rated ones, but their protagonists all seem to have an arrogant, godlike perspective. Since they know how things unfold and how they end, they spoil everything for the locals and act smug about it. It's really uncomfortable, and they show no respect for history.

This book shows exquisite balance and tension in writing and plot. The author outlines the scenery of the Tang Dynasty with a mellow ancient rhyme. Taoist terminology such as Zhaijiao talismans, step-fighting and step-fighting are readily available, but he is also able to make the mysterious rituals vividly appear on the page through concise line drawings. The narrative is fast-paced, from fighting evil in the countryside to making decisions in the palace, and the intellectual brilliance of the duel between Taoism and Dharma is always maintained in the advancement. The dismantling of the "holy water" scam in Liulin Town shows the wonder of insight into people's hearts, and the section on changing fate in the underworld hides speculation on historical destiny in the fantasy setting, which is worthy of recommendation.
This novel about cultivating immortality through the Tang Dynasty is too righteous! The author has definitely studied Taoism, such as talismans, step fighting, fasting and rituals, and the writing is just like the real thing! I looked it up while reading, and found out that these majors were really not made up! The protagonist uses modern knowledge to break the Nestorian scam, while using traditional Taoism to go to the underworld to change Li Shimin's lifespan. This kind of collision between ancient and modern times is so interesting! What I admire the most is the author's ability to write about driving threats and breaking formations as if it were live broadcast, and I can understand everything he said about Lao Zhuang's thoughts. Watching the protagonist protect the foundation of Chinese civilization in the Tang Dynasty where Buddhism and Taoism coexisted, it is much deeper than a fairy tale about simply fighting monsters and upgrading. Keep reading, I love it!
He is Ye Fashan, not only a Taoist from the Tang Dynasty who has inherited the Taoism for thousands of years, but also an awakened person who examines this era with modern thinking. Merging the memories of two lives is not to be bound by the past, but to understand this familiar and unfamiliar world from a broader perspective. His practice begins here. And those fragments hidden deep in memory have become the key to unlocking the mysteries of this world. The author's writing style is delicate and smooth, showing us a mysterious world of metaphysical practice! Looking forward to more exciting things to come.
This is not only time travel, but also a dual "possession" of knowledge and faith - he not only wants to inherit the real talisman and walking skills in history, but also uses thousands of years of historical insights to examine this arena of faith where Buddhism, Taoism, Nestorianism and even hidden heresies fiercely collide. Based on rigorous knowledge, the author constructs a world of immortality with a strong sense of "historical reality". The protagonist's "supernatural power" does not lie in the invincible system, but in the precise grasp of historical context and the thorough understanding of human nature and institutions. From exposing the "holy water" scam in the market, to admonishing Li Shimin in court, to personally entering the underworld to rewrite his life span, every move he makes is a subtle resonance of modern rational thinking and ancient Taoist metaphysics. Behind the fasting rituals is the philosophy of the connection between heaven and man; deep in the philosophy of Lao and Zhuang, is the Taoist heart of helping the world and bringing peace to people. This is not only a refreshing article about a person practicing Taoism and becoming a national teacher, but also a grand narrative about "what is righteous faith". Facing the infiltration of Nestorianism and the erosion of alienated magic, the protagonist uses Taoism as a shield and historical knowledge as a sword to defend not only the tranquility of the Tang Dynasty, but also the subjectivity and purity of Chinese civilization at the level of belief. In the turbulent waves of history, he became a steadfast needle, using talismans and wisdom to write a different kind of "righteous faith" epic for the Tang Dynasty and for future generations.
Traveling through time to become Ye Fashan, this topic is so interesting. The author does not stop at the level of "using prophets as magic sticks", but truly goes deep into the thoughts, rituals and cultivation system of Taoism in the Tang Dynasty. The protagonist must use the wisdom of the "Tao Te Ching" and other books to deal with the court and the world, and at the same time seek a balance between "Tao follows nature" and "change destiny against nature". Watching the protagonist use Taoism to help the world and solve problems with wisdom is like experiencing a "Taoist reality show" during the prosperous Tang Dynasty, which is both informative and interesting.
This book shows exquisite balance and tension in writing and plot. The author outlines the scenery of the Tang Dynasty with a mellow ancient rhyme. Taoist terminology such as Zhaijiao talisman, step gang and step fighting are readily available, but he can also make the mysterious rituals vividly appear on the page through concise line drawings. The narrative is fast-paced, from fighting evil in the countryside to making decisions in the palace. The intellectual brilliance of the duel between Taoism and Dharma is always maintained in the advancement. The dismantling of the "holy water" scam in Liulin Town shows the wonder of insight into people's hearts. The section on changing fate in the underworld hides speculation on historical destiny in the fantasy setting. It is worth recommending.
This is a good book that is both profound and profound, yet easy to understand. It takes the person of Ye Fashan, a Taoist priest from the Tang Dynasty. The beginning is gradual, and the plot unfolds slowly. All kinds of Taoist knowledge are so proficient that it feels like you are immersed in it. I guess the author is also a knowledgeable person in history. Compared with similar books, this book is much higher! Especially after walking in with Ye Fashan, I found that it was a very interesting world! The author's writing style is outstanding and worth recommending! What a great book! I hope the author will keep writing and more and more people will see it! [Code to live][code to live]
Very nice! A graduate student in the Department of History traveled through time to become Ye Fashan, a Taoist priest in the early Tang Dynasty. He had the memory of two lifetimes and learned magical powers. He traveled around to exorcise evil spirits, expose evil plots, help stabilize the court, protect the people, and eventually became the Imperial Master of the Tang Dynasty. The story combines history and immortality cultivation, and the plot is solid and easy to read, fully displaying the legend of Taoism in the prosperous Tang Dynasty and its original intention to help the world. Recommended to everyone!
This novel takes Ye Fashan's spiritual path as the main line, cleverly integrating fantasy elements and cultural collision. The mystery of Beidou's Tao Gang, the splendor of the talisman and thunder method, and the conflict with the Nestorian heresy are intertwined, which not only shows the refreshing feeling of advancing practice, but also hides the profound meaning of civilization protection. The characters are vivid, the plot is compact, the traditional culture is rich, and the imagination is open to seeing the pattern. It is worth reading.
The imagery and metaphors in the story are rich and engaging. By skillfully using metaphors, symbols, metaphors and other rhetorical techniques, the author abstracts abstract concepts and emotions and presents them to readers with vivid images, stimulating their imagination and deep thinking.
