It's hard to put down once you open it. The story contains both laughter and tears. It is not deliberately sensational but can always touch people's hearts. The book not only contains wonderful plots, but also contains thoughts about life and human nature. It is suitable for reading slowly and calmly.
Completely abandoning the clichés of cultivating immortals, there is no reincarnation, no cheats to counterattack, and the protagonist grows up with the protagonist from a mortal perspective. The author has great novel ideas and wide-open imagination. Keep up the good work✊
This book is different! There is a different fairyland here, which is both subversive and down-to-earth. The protagonist Qiu Xinghang has no system and no adventure. His hands are clumsy, but his mind is quick; his cultivation level is low, but his judgment is far beyond that of his peers. He created his own magical weapons, refined his own elixirs, and understood the Taoist principles. He started from scratch and got to where he is today step by step. The way he wins is different from others. He used concave rock wall sound wave reflection to subdue monsters, used resonant frequency to break restrictions, used blood to trigger the logic gate of the mechanism, and used weight reduction and force conduction to achieve the goal of beating cattle across mountains. These are not nouns, but physical logic that can be deduced step by step and verified later. His magic weapon is blueprint level. The movable tenon slot of the Zimu Knife, the mechanism of the Nine-Bone Golden Spirit Umbrella, the rune rules of the explosive hammer... These are not just words, they are things that can be drawn in the mind, and can be iterated and upgraded. No copy here, just the complete story. The Monster World and the Soul Splitting Valley are not independent spaces. Everything that happens in them and everyone who goes out has consequences. All the threads are intertwined and continue to grow. His moves are like Jin Yong. Each move has its origin, space and logic. "How to turn the left hand, how to pass the right hand, how to block the opponent, and how to change his next move." This kind of writing is almost extinct in current online articles, but in this book, it still exists. The writing is sloppy and has a lot of foreshadowing, adhering to the principle of "the clues have been there for a long time" in mystery literature. The reader and Qiu Xinghang got the same set of clues. There was no airborne setting, and there was no sudden "it turns out he knew it a long time ago". Only when he turned back to verify it did he realize, "I should have noticed it a long time ago." Lao and Zhuang's speculations are not preaching, there are no golden sentences, they are principles grown from stories. Qiu Xinghang did not have an "epiphany overnight", but only an understanding that grew up bit by bit. What he realized was "the greatest simplicity" and "the simplest rules in the world, like a key that can open countless locks." The book is written in half-literary and half-white language, interspersed with Northeastern-style humor, and promotes the plot in a relaxed and calm manner. It is no wonder that the label of the platform is "funny and relaxed". There is no narration to explain, but it has come a long way. Recommended to anyone who still wants to sit down and read.
This is the most unique novel I have read this year. The protagonist Qiu Xinghang has no talent, no system, no adventure, he is too ordinary and too stubborn. He creates his own magic weapons, refines his own elixirs, and makes his own magic weapons. He is a perfect craftsman in the fairy world. I caught up to this point in one breath, with laughter and tears, unforgettable memories and insights. The fighting in this book is like that of Jin Yong, each move has its origin, space, and logic; its dialogues are Northeastern-style humorous, and every sentence exchanges information, lays the groundwork, and advances the plot; the philosophy of enlightenment here is not quoted from classics, but the author's reflections. It says "people are in the rivers and lakes", but the rivers and lakes have been moved to the fairyland by the author. Here is a different fairyland, which is both subversive and down-to-earth. When I read it, I seemed to see the truth of classic ancient books, the courage in Mr. Jin Yong's writing, and the clues in Agatha's writing.
The whole book does not pursue fast pace and excitement, there are no three golden chapters, and there is no slap in the face to pretend to be a cup. Emphasis on foreshadowing and character creation, martial arts, logical reasoning, and humor are combined to make the group portraits vivid. The protagonist has been in desperate situations several times, grasping the essence amidst the chaos, exploring step by step, and seeking that glimmer of immortality on his own.
There is no shortage of geniuses on the path of cultivating immortals: you are born with the best spiritual roots, pick up ancient inheritance at the beginning, opportunities come to you automatically, and you have a smooth journey to ascend to the throne of immortality. But "Mortal Bones Seek Immortality" goes in the opposite direction and creates a mortal monk who has nothing. It starts from a blank slate, with no spiritual body, no backing, no adventure, and no cheating capital. The protagonist's only reliance is a mortal body of flesh and blood, and the obsession with immortality engraved in his bones, just to survive. Faced with the bullying from his classmates, he did not show off his passion for a moment, silently endured and dormant, and calmly counterattacked when the time was right; when faced with a powerful enemy, he did not rely on the spiritual power of magic weapons to crush him, but calmly deduced the flaws and won by cleverness; when he was in a desperate situation, he did not hope for a noble person from the sky, and solved the dead situation alone, fighting for a glimmer of life in the desperate situation. Other people who seek immortality seek prestige, greatness, and admiration from the world; but what he seeks is to live well and live long. This simple and heavy wish actually makes the characters come to life, removing the emptiness of the immortal cultivators who do not eat the fireworks of the world, and adding a bit of the real struggle of the low-level people. There is no endless internal friction or mindless conflict in the book. The protagonist's growth line is all based on resourcefulness and hard work. The road to immortality was filled with swords and shadows, and bones were everywhere. He stumbled from the bottom of the swamp, and without relying on God-given favors, he forcibly walked out on the road to immortality as a mortal. The last sentence of the article, "The great road has no fixed formula, and even mortal bones can seek immortality." It is the core of the whole book: talent and opportunity are never the only threshold for cultivating immortality. The desire to survive is the strongest foundation for immortality. Readers who prefer battles of wits, mortal counterattacks, and realistic cultivation of immortality without golden fingers should definitely not miss this book.
Who knows! This kind of article about mortals cultivating immortals without spiritual roots or backing really offends me! The protagonist is neither in-fighting nor pretentious. He tolerates being bullied by his classmates until the time is right and slaps him in the face. He relies on calculation and hard work to break out of a desperate situation. It is completely the struggle and growth of ordinary people in a cruel world. There is no cheating, only step-by-step calculations and tenacity to persevere, which is so real that people can empathize with it.
A very innovative Mortal Immortal! The protagonist is born as a mortal, has zero cheats and zero opportunities, and does not follow the route of Long Aotian's Shuangwen. Rely on mathematical logic to develop magic weapons and find hope in crises. It has a slow-burning plot and rich group portraits. It combines martial arts, reasoning and a relaxed sense of humor. It explores the road to immortality step by step and has an excellent immersive growth experience.
There is no cheating, no time travel and rebirth, and no system to give out benefits. The protagonist is an ordinary person who does not rely on talent to find adventures, but relies on his brain to delve into mathematical principles and make utensils by himself. Several times, my life hung by a thread, all relying on calculations and maneuvers. I struggled to survive in the game between all parties, and I gained immortality bit by bit. If you like hard-core mortal flow and brain-moving flow, you can read it. This is a very interesting book~
The plot is very good and the pace is tight. Emotionally delicate, it is a rare modern masterpiece! It's refreshing, and friends who are book-hungry must come and take a look. It's definitely I won't let you down...
