[Eastern fantasy, rival powers vying for supremacy, a multifaceted cast] After the Central Divine Continent was split in two, the world fell into chaos.
He was just a blacksmith's apprentice at Yanmen Post Station.
Born into troubled times, all he wanted was to live out his life in peace beside the old blacksmith.
Yet people kept telling him to practice the blade and study the classics, saying that in an age of great change, only the blade could bring security, and only the sages' teachings could bring peace.
Gu Chang'an never believed them, nor did he want to, until one autumn when a band of horse thieves stormed Yanmen Post Station. Until the day the old blacksmith somehow became a major figure in the Northern Divine Hall, and the older brother who had only ever cut grass and fed cattle turned out to have an even more astonishing identity.
That autumn, the course of everything quietly changed.
Blacksmiths insist on writing about knife training. Sometimes I am quite speechless. Maybe you writers think this contrast is very good. It is quite strange that you can use hammer skills with a knife at the same time.
