Synopsis

On a rainy night in late autumn, Lin Tiannan, the owner of "Tingyu Tower", a century-old swordsman family, was massacred. Only the youngest son Lin Che and his younger brother Lin Yuan escaped by chance. From then on, the two young men in brocade clothes fell into the muddy rivers and lakes, struggling to survive in the pursuit of murder and hunger and cold. In a desperate situation, they met Ye Qingchen, a drunkard in blue shirt who was ridiculed as a "rookie swordsman". He took in the desperate brothers, but only taught them the most basic "Sword Raising Technique" and "Three Breeze Styles". And while wielding the sword boringly day after day, Lin Che gradually realized that where this seemingly downcast master was pointing at the tip of his sword, even the assassins of the Netherworld Palace had to back away. The mottled iron sword on his waist seemed to be inextricably linked to the lost legend of the "Sword Keeper" in Tingyu Tower. As weird clues such as the "original stone of burning blood sand", "the secret recipe of thunder and fire" and "the traitor of Tingyu Tower" surfaced, Lin Che discovered that the massacre of the family was far from an ordinary vendetta, but a shocking chess game involving the temples, good and evil for decades. And he himself is the most critical piece in this chess game - or the sword-holding hand that overturns the chess board. From broken courtyards and shabby alleys to the far reaches of the rivers and lakes, from exiled orphans to kendo successors. Lin Che held a three-foot green blade in her hand. Behind her was her frail younger brother who needed to be protected. In front of her was a blood feud shrouded in fog, and beside her was her master who was shrouded in mystery. In this world where martial arts is withering and undercurrents are surging, he can only use his sword as a pen and blood as ink, between conspiracy and betrayal, protection and choice, to write his own story—— Han Xing Sword Dao.

An ancient sword that had been in the dust for thirty years, a sect that was annihilated by blood and fire. Young Lin Che escaped by chance on the night when her family was exterminated. With blood feud and unsolved mysteries, she stepped into the turbulent world. From the undercurrent of water transportation in the south of the Yangtze River, to the fog of the famous and decent families; from the pressing step by step killers of the Jianghu, to the vague phantom of the power of the court - he gradually discovered that the so-called grievances in the Jianghu were actually a shocking chess game that swept the martial arts world and the government and the public. There is the traditional martial arts charm of swords, shadows, and gleams of swords, as well as an interlocking suspense layout. The master-disciple bond between the sword keeper and the escapee, the multi-party game in the undercurrent, and the shocking truth are approaching in the process of peeling off the cocoon. "A sword is not just for killing people. Sometimes, its greatest use is to keep those who deserve to live alive."

A well-written work. Lin Che came from a family of swordsmen, but her family was exterminated. During her struggle after narrowly escaping, she met her seemingly "ordinary" master. At the master's request, she devoted herself to training and finally achieved great success. While tracing the reason why the whole family was wiped out, many suspicions were discovered. It was not simply revenge of the enemy, but a shocking secret. The author's writing style is exquisite and vividly depicts the dangers of the world! In the arena of swords and swords, Lin Che's tenacity and wisdom make people can't help but read on. Highly recommended!

This novel is so on point. The revenge of Lin Che, a young man whose family was wiped out, leads to a shocking chess game between the martial arts world and the court. The shadows of swords and lights of traditional martial arts are of great quality, the bond between master and apprentice is delicate, and the suspenseful twists and turns are progressive. The core of "the sword is the guardian" adds warmth to the story. The more you read, the more you get hooked!

Lin Che's sword is too overpowering! The counterattack after destroying the family in the rainy night was so exciting that Ye Qingchen's sense of mystery was so great that I couldn't stop following him!

This is a work that needs to be savored calmly, just like the song "Moon on the Cold River" in the article. It is cold when you first listen to it, but when you taste it carefully, it is vast and has a long aftertaste.
