Synopsis

Rain-Soaked Bell • The Old Home

I gaze back to those days: emerald cypresses formed a ring, and glazed tiles adorned the soaring eaves. Green lamps and red candles hung high. The halls were filled with guests, their laughter and conversation bright and warm. Music drifted from several corners, stirring the wine cups into a blur. Now all that remains are crumbling tiles and broken walls. Who could have imagined such splendor would vanish without a trace?

Years have passed, and it is hard to find a trace of how things once looked. I can only gaze upon the winding river stretching into the distance. The ten-mile pavilion still stands, though shadows darken beneath its willows and moonlight glimmers on the shallow pool. The carvings are mottled, and the vermilion railing has collapsed beside the horse trough. Like Tao Yuanming, I shall return to Peach Blossom Spring, where the mortal world fades like smoke.

The outskirts of Luoyang.

It was already the second watch of the night. The moon shone bright, and few stars were visible. Besides the chirping crickets and croaking frogs, there was the sound of a horse panting as it drank. It had clearly traveled a long way. But why would there be a horse in this desolate wilderness?

A small pavilion stood beside the pool. The moon now seemed to hang from one corner of its roof, though naturally that was only because of where the onlooker stood. The man was not looking at the moon, but at the plaque above the pavilion. The place was in ruins: one corner of its six-tiered eaves had collapsed, weeds grew between the flagstones, and much of the paint had peeled from the pillars. The plaque hung crooked and was thick with dust, but its inscription could just be made out: “Return Home.”

“Return home, for the fields and gardens will soon lie waste. Why not go back?”

“That’s right, that’s right...” the man murmured to himself, though no one could tell what he meant. The night was deep. The moonlight was enchanting, but his face was impossible to make out. Why was he here in the dead of night?

Suddenly, the man let out a long cry. In a flash, he was on the horse’s back. He flicked the reins, and the horse whinnied before galloping along the stream.

Two sharp cries rang out from above. Two dark shapes pursued the horse, and before long they had all disappeared into the night.

The story is humorous and interesting, the writing is very good, and it is particularly interesting. The characters are vividly drawn. The plot is well-paced and the characters' dialogues are very Jianghu. It is definitely a treasure book. If you want to read martial arts, don't miss it. I hope the author will update more 😄

A boatman on the river sighed: "It has not happened in the past twenty years that so many people have come to Jiande. Since the tragic death of Jiangnan Liu, the famous Jiangnan hero more than ten years ago, there have been fewer and fewer people from the martial arts community coming to Jiande.

It has a sense of déjà vu in a classic novel, the world view is set well, and the opening chapter is attractive. The story line is extensive and there are many foreshadowings. I look forward to the exciting content behind it.

A knight's dream, a boy's dream. The golden past has passed away, and the old dream has returned to the new journey. When we dream, maybe we are all young, full of enthusiasm and longing, dreaming of riding the wind and waves to travel across the rivers and lakes. Chasing dreams of the world, watching beauties and knights, writing about grievances and grudges, and drawing a picture of life. This is the journey of flying rivers and lakes, which created my dream of a knight-errant. [Original Party][Please pay attention] Please pay attention, comment, and correct me ❤️. I am very grateful.

The writing is elegant, and the opening chapter has an ancient charm, with a moonlit night in the wilderness and an old horse in a dilapidated pavilion. The text and pictures are very strong, and the suspense atmosphere of the rivers and lakes is full, making it very immersive when reading.
