   Highly recommended! This is the first and best book I've read. It's an absolutely fantastic read. The protagonist comes from a small town in Northeast China and is forced into a battle between righteous and evil sorcerers in Hong Kong. He spends thirty years in this turmoil, encountering everything from black coffins and demonic corpses to Western demon gods and powerful female demons. The story revisits the late Qing Dynasty and the Republic of China, extending to the ending thirty years later. It features the "Four Elders of Hong Sheng Village," lay disciples of Wudang, the evil sorcerer "Xie Si," and the "Old Celestial Master of Longhu Mountain" who has traveled to Hong Kong. The plot twists and turns, and it's not a traditional story. It's definitely worth reading and won't disappoint you.
