    History + Imagination + The Male Protagonist's Darkness + Suspense Everyone knows that gods are good, but they can't forget their fame. Where are the generals from ancient to modern times? A pile of grass disappeared in the barren grave. Everyone knows that gods are good, but gold and silver cannot be forgotten. In the end, I only regretted that there was not much gathering, and when it was too long, my eyes closed. Everyone in the world knows that gods are good, but only my beloved wife can never forget them. I express my gratitude to you on your birthday, but you will go with others after your death. Everyone in the world knows that gods are good, only their children and grandchildren will never forget them. There have been many infatuated parents since ancient times, but who has ever seen filial children and grandchildren? Throughout the years of this land's circulation and its boundless mountains and rivers, countless relics are scattered. Their clues are vaguely discernible, but they remain a mystery. From the Brahma chanting in the snowfields of the Western Regions, to the Ding Yi dynasty in the loess of the Central Plains; from the broken walls and ruined monuments in the southern border of the blue sea, to the colorful flying apsaras of the Mobei veins. And behind all this, someone seems to be using the entire history of China as a guide to play a game of chess that spans ancient and modern times. This is a silent game of mountains and rivers, and dynasties playing chess. The final chapter of the legend has never been written, because the story has just begun. It has to be this one. It is huge and exciting. It is slow in the early stage and fast in the later stage. The place where the protagonist and his group go is extremely mysterious and out of reach. The protagonist is not a virgin and the identity is extremely mysterious. The author is very responsible. The more people read it, the more it will be read.

    Who knows? I originally planned to go to bed at ten o'clock last night, but I opened this book and stayed up until two o'clock. The collapse of the old town, the memorial tablets of the fairy family, and the strange stories of possession are all written in a realistic and not exaggerated way. The contrast between metaphysics and science is full of contrast. The more I read, the more I get chills on my back and I can't stop.
