Breaking through the traditional framework of cultivating immortals, the protagonist forcibly refines swords as a martial artist, integrating the dual main lines of "waste counterattack" and "sword fight". At the beginning, the strong conflict setting of "a waste spirit root is betrayed by his fiancée" sets the tone of passionate revenge.

The first book: Chen Changsheng, who traveled through the world of immortality, awakened the "immortality system" and witnessed the great changes in the world while sleeping. He started the path of cultivating immortality as a "salted fish", but he split the sky with a hatchet and buried all living beings in the name of a mourner. Book 2: Once upon a time, An Xiaohai, the favored son of heaven, was imprisoned and kept in darkness for twenty years. He lost a kidney and was miserable for the rest of his life. However, fate turned around and he was reborn and returned to prison. In "The Wrath of the Sea", in a prison full of crises, An Xiaohai relies on mild hyperamnesia and high IQ to deal with all forces. After being released from prison, he joined the business world. In the complicated environment of Shenzhen in the 1990s, where good and bad were mixed, and black and white forces were intertwined, he fought wits one after another with the evil forces, peeling off the cocoons, and gradually uncovered the shocking conspiracy of the year. Along the way, how did he fight back in desperate situations and turn the tide? Book 3: Want to experience the ultimate brain-burning experience? "The End of Ten Days" is definitely not to be missed! Everyone is trapped in the "Land of Ending" and trapped in a ten-day life-and-death game. Only by mastering the levels designed by the twelve zodiac animals can they have a chance of survival. The protagonist Qi Xia leads her companions to break the shackles of memory with the power of "echo", and embark on a thrilling escape journey in a world intertwined with lies and desires. The plot has constant twists and turns, and it is so exciting!

Go watch "A Little Secret Love" for me! ! Title: "The Little Sad Thing of Secret Love" Author: Meng Zhiwan There may be a dazzling existence in everyone's youth that makes people throb, whether they get what they want or pass by in the end. The heroine is Lin Xu, a very ordinary girl, but she falls in love with a dazzling young man, Ye Feng. Ye Feng, gentle and polite, humorous and handsome, is like the bright and distant moon, but Lin Xu thinks, how can the moon hanging high in the sky be touched by ordinary people? The moon is so far away and the light is so bright. After all, no matter how hard you chase it, you can never catch it. "Those worries caused by him have nothing to do with him after all." But the crush on Ye Feng is not just an ordinary love for Lin Xu. It is him who stands on the road from reality to dream, giving her the confidence and strength to lead her to a distant place that is out of reach. Because I have a crush on someone, I want to be with him, so I have dreams, so I want to become a shining and confident being. I think Lin Xu has never regretted her secret love for Ye Feng. It was Ye Feng who illuminated her entire youth, and it was Ye Feng who allowed her to go from being a girl with low self-esteem chasing the light alone to becoming a star that shines on others. Later Lin Xu said, "He once lent me my entire youth and never paid it back, but if I could go back in time, I still want to meet him." It turns out that secret love is not a sad thing. So, Ye Feng must like Lin Xu, right?

Notes on the Stone Mill Under the old locust tree at the west end of Qingshi Town, there is a bluestone mill that has been used for grinding for three generations. The edge of the millstone feels smooth to the touch, like a piece of black jade. The owner of the millstone was a lonely old woman named Grandma. She would not take any money from anyone in the town who wanted to grind newly harvested beans or milled winter rice, and would only let them throw clean grains into the grindstone before leaving. It snowed heavily last winter, and a group of thieves came from the other side of the mountain to steal things, and they were about to break into the town. At night, grandma cleaned the millstone, walked around it three times, and poured a bowl of freshly brewed rice wine into the millstone. Early the next morning, the snow stopped. There are three bluestone sculptures standing on the road at the entrance of the town. Their facial features are exactly the same as those of the thieves, but their hands and feet are embedded in the frozen mud and they cannot move. Later, someone asked my grandma. She just smiled, pointed at the millstone and said, "This old thing has been guarding the town all my life, and there is no dirt." Today, the stone mill is still under the old locust tree, and the grinding eyes are always filled with newly dried grains. When the wind blows, it makes a rustling sound, as if whispering.

50 民 The Greatest Taboo Among the People FeiyiMystery4.7M WordsOngoing 342.5kReads9.4Score31kShelves

Reader note

This book does not contain obscure theories, but focuses on the common folk taboos around us - from weddings and funerals to detailed taboos on daily diet and living. For example, "If you break a bowl during the New Year, you must quickly say 'Blessed Years'" and "Don't give gifts like clocks." This book provides popular interpretations of sayings that everyone has heard but may not know the reason for. It not only lists taboos, but also explains the folk logic and humanistic care behind these rules based on historical background and regional culture. For example, some taboos are actually reminders of safety from the ancients, while others carry expectations for a better life. Reading it is like listening to a story told by a knowledgeable elder. It not only satisfies curiosity, but also allows you to better understand the warmth of traditional folk customs. It is very suitable whether it is a fun read or an introductory book to understand folk culture.
