    The opening of "The Princess and the Sword Immortal" unfolds like a vast desert landscape. Amidst swirling snow and biting winds, Princess Zhao Jin, accompanied by her maid Bihe, quietly escapes the confines of the palace and plunges into the treacherous world of martial arts. This scene is reminiscent of Guo Jing and Huang Rong's first encounter in the snowstorm of Zhangjiakou. However, Zhao Jin is not as clever and nimble as Huang Rong; her will is resolute, her vision broad, and her noble bearing makes her a hidden gem in this perilous world, drawing the reader's attention. The "Lone Sword Immortal," Xiao Jianqiu, is a renowned figure whose martial arts have reached a pinnacle. With his "Autumn Water Ancient Sword" unsheathed, no one can withstand three moves, leaving all heroes helpless. He is aloof and elusive, yet not heartless. The princess and the sword immortal, one noble, one reclusive; one passionate, one cold, their fates intertwined in this harsh winter, inevitably leading to a momentous upheaval.

    … In the following days, Lin Yu focused on instructing his disciples in martial arts, using this as a way to alleviate the pain of longing in his heart. Except for the two youngest who are still ignorant, the rest of the disciples are making rapid progress. Lin Yu thought that he had already imparted a lot of martial arts essentials over the past few days, enough for them to digest for a while. Too much of a good thing is bad, and we shouldn't be too hasty, so we stopped and told them to go and cultivate on their own. He then instructed his senior brothers and sisters to give more guidance to the two junior sisters, and then he had some free time. However, I haven't completely let go of that lingering concern in my heart. How should I deal with it next? Lin Yu suddenly remembered that among the large box of martial arts manuals he had obtained from Zhu Changling's house, in addition to the Ying Gu Notes, Iron Palm Divine Skill, One-Finger Divine Skill, and other unique skills, there was also a set of Zhu family's inherited martial arts - "One-Finger Divine Skill Judge's Pen Technique". A thought suddenly occurred to me: Why not try practicing calligraphy? This set of Zhu Family Judge's Pen skills was personally passed down by Master Yideng's disciple, Zhu Ziliu, the ancestor of the Zhu family, and evolved from the One-Finger Divine Skill. By incorporating acupressure techniques into the Judge's Pen technique, one can unleash the essence of One-Finger Divine Skill with just the Judge's Pen, without needing to expend too much energy cultivating finger strength. Later, it was combined with calligraphy, hence the name "Yiyang Calligraphy Judge's Brushwork", which has its own unique features. Based on the strokes, each Chinese character, and even each stroke, can be transformed into an exquisite technique. Lin Yu had seen it before and was impressed, but he had no time to practice it because he had so many unique skills at his disposal. Looking back now, I realize that practicing calligraphy can calm me down when I'm feeling troubled, and it's quite suitable for my current situation. Moreover, he was quite interested in the discussion about the connection between calligraphy and martial arts in the Yi Yang Shu Finger Judge's Calligraphy Method. The book states: "Calligraphy and martial arts may seem unrelated, but in fact they share common principles." When calligraphy is practiced to a high level, even a soft brush can penetrate the paper and leave a deep impression. Many people consider it mere rhetoric, simply because they do not understand its profound meaning. The practice of martial arts emphasizes that power originates from the ground, concentrating the strength of the whole body into a single point for explosive release. When exerting force, you need to push off the ground with both feet, and use the rebound force to transmit through your legs to your waist, back, shoulders, arms, and wrists, and finally explode at your fingertips. The waist is the most crucial part, as the boxing manual says, "Its root is in the feet, it originates in the legs, it is controlled by the waist, and it manifests in the fingers." In contrast, when practicing calligraphy, beginners often feel tired in their hands and arms, and only when their waists are tired do they begin to make some progress. If you can practice until your toes feel tired, then you have quite a bit of skill. , , . " , , .

    The first book, *Yan Yu Lou*, is well-known to most readers; its plot unfolds layer by layer, making it a satisfying read for those with a sharp mind. The second book is super good! It's mainly about rebirth and is very sweet, but there are also villains, though not many, making it a pleasant read. The third and fourth books are both fast-paced, action-packed stories about the military.
