It's so exciting. I haven't seen such a touching fairy tale novel in a long time. There are not so many matryoshka dolls and miscellaneous realms. The characters are also very good. It turns out that not all fairy tale protagonists are inexplicably hunted down and then counterattack. The background. In the pre-Qin Dynasty, the protagonist turned his corpse into an immortal. Now he has become an earthly immortal and is no longer a mortal. Golden Finger can acquire more powerful spells by taking on apprentices, mastering the techniques and improving them, which can be cultivation techniques, spells, formations, treasure refining techniques, etc. The plot has just reached Ximen Leopard's rule in Ye. In addition to transforming into a ghost valley, there are also the troubles caused by your own scattered spells. You said that spells are thrown out without distinction of good or bad. I am still thinking about how to calculate the cause and effect. Now, in order to avoid affecting history, you should assist the Qin Dynasty to use burning books and entrapping Confucians to solve the problem of scattered spells. I don't know how many times it has boomeranged [laughing awkwardly]. It can be logically solved, but do you still remember the name of your book? Good guy, these 300 of you may not be able to enter the main line of Journey to the West, right?
I was attracted by the title of the book and clicked it casually. I thought it was just another cool book, but I didn't expect to find a treasure by accident! The protagonist is an old immortal with a true Taoist character. He does not kill innocent people indiscriminately and is not keen on grabbing treasures and power. He only seeks Taoism and has a calm mind. His behavior is completely in line with the appearance of immortals in traditional folk customs. It is very comfortable to watch. There is no sensationalism in order to make up the plot, and there is no awkward emotional line forced on the heroine. It is clean and calming to read. In the opening chapter, the protagonist is about to disintegrate into an immortal, and Sun Wukong comes to visit. The plot connection is naturally unobtrusive, and the overall rhythm is slow but very gripping. It feels like you are really reading a traditional mythological story, full of fairy spirit. Among the books full of cool articles about killing and killing, and system hacking, this one is really a breath of fresh air. The author has worked so hard to write this kind of story with a calm Taoist heart and a smoky atmosphere without losing the fairy charm! I sincerely recommend it to friends who like orthodox fairy tales but don't like mindless and cool writing. It's definitely worth a read and I give it five stars!
Different from the prehistoric concepts on the Internet, breaking away from the stereotyped life, many concepts and ideas are taken from the traditional Journey to the West model, which makes people's eyes brighter. You are not replacing anyone or being a stand-in for anyone. It is good to live your own life. Don't pay attention to those fellow authors who write negative reviews. Those people are all bad at writing and cannot see the good writing of others. Stick to what you think in your heart, work hard to polish the details, and focus on the plot. Come on!
A good book, with a fairy-tale feel. As long as AI is not used in character creation, the quality can be considered high-quality.
This novel is amazing at first glance, but it gets better and better the more you read it. The protagonist fakes his death at the beginning to escape, uses peach wood to deceive the evil spirits, and fakes his death to become a ghost and immortal. Although there is a hangup in the end, he does not follow the traditional immortality routine, but takes a new path. It gives me a feeling of ancient immortality novels. Although it is not as grand as the narrative of the four famous works, it still gives people a deep spiritual satisfaction. , The author's writing is smooth, the plot is full of tasks, each stroke seems to be vividly written on the paper, and the plot is euphemistically told, which is breathtaking. This book is a rare masterpiece. I hope the author will not forget to update it day and night, keep improving day and night, and bring us more content [laugh][laugh][laugh]
A traditional Xianxia, a down-to-earth Xianxia. The protagonist does not refuse to help the people because of their stupidity, and the people do not know anything about it. Helping the Monkey Brother does not forcefully highlight the protagonist's superiority immediately, but describes the cuteness of the Monkey Brother, especially like the cuteness and mischief of the Monkey Brother in the old version of Journey to the West. Who knows? [Adoration] And the current comedian is the Donkey King, haha
An old Taoist article on cultivating immortality, a classic! This poem alone can capture the essence of Journey to the West. Not gold, not wood, not copper, it was once in the underworld. Not relying on alchemy furnaces for civil and military training, just relying on the skills of birth, old age, sickness and death. The place where the flag is illuminated still looks like a child, and when the old flag is waved, it looks like a white-haired man. As soon as the flag of disease is displayed, the plague rises, and the flag of death hangs down, and all the souls are empty. Even if you are a foreigner from outside the world, entering this formation is like a dream.
The old fairy tale is full of fairy spirit. I have only written more than 40 chapters and I can already smell the scent of the best fairy grass. Please update soon [Note][Note][Note]
Good book. It's not a gangster cultivating immortality, or a wild fight. It's very interesting.
This is a very surprising novel, both in terms of subject matter and description method, but it is very comfortable to read. In the current environment of tomato novel creation and even in the entire Internet literary circle, it is really gratifying that such a unique novel can appear. He uses antique description methods and antique narrative methods to depict a scene of Journey to the West, allowing us to see a piece of pure land even though we are surrounded by bloody stories.
