Synopsis

Mo Hua transmigrated. He had no spiritual roots, only a brush.

He had bought it from a street stall for three yuan, and used it for years. Its tip had long since gone bald. But after he transmigrated, it changed. It grew heavier. Faint patterns appeared on its handle, and it felt warm in his hand.

At first, he didn't think much of it. Later, he discovered that the brush could draw formations. Others needed carving knives, cinnabar, and materials, but he needed only this brush. Later still, he found that it could write, too. On ordinary paper, it produced ordinary words; on the wordless book no one had ever managed to open, whatever he wrote became reality.

But that was much later.

At first, he simply squatted by the roadside in Qingya Town and drew a few circles on the ground with the brush. He didn't know what they meant. He only knew that when he drew those lines, his heart grew quiet.

That night, he knocked on the door of a wooden hut. The person who opened it looked at him, then at the brush in his hand, and said something. Those words changed every path Mo Hua would take from then on.

Later, he carried someone on his back for a very, very long way. The coffin dug into his back, leaving it covered in bruises, and for several nights he was afraid to lie down to sleep.

He thought about giving up, too. But as long as the brush remained in his hand, he felt he could keep going for one more step.

Why Do End-of-the-World Survival Stories Always Need a Group?

In the apocalypse survival stories I read, things are usually fine at first, but then the cast always grows later on. Do they really have to recruit teammates? Can't they survive on their own?

Does No One Read Traditional Fantasy Anymore?

I'm looking for something like "Nine Paths of the Heart". If you want traditional cultivation fantasy, bonds between cultivation partners, mysteries about one's origins, a heart aflame like a lotus, and a journey to the Great Dao, this is the book for you.
