   It hurts so much!! It's not the pain of a wound, it's the pain of ice forming in the bones. The cold night wind carried the gravel and cut his exposed skin with knife after knife, as if trying to scrape the flesh from the bones. He couldn't taste blood anymore - the blood had been flowing for so long that he could no longer taste the saltiness. There was only a chill, crawling up the spine inch by inch, freezing his consciousness into fragmented ice floes. The field of vision was filled with mottled black, as if someone had spilled the ink, or as if the world was peeling off piece by piece. Are you leaving? He thought dazedly. After all, there is no way to keep him in this world.

   🔥"I'm not a drama god" The heavy rain started and the scene exploded! The young man in red, Ye Yu, kills the gods, full of suspense! Rainy night. Thunder. A blood-soaked opera robe was splashed open in the mud, and its reflection shattered into cinnabar in the puddles. "Who am I?" The boy staggered and screamed, his nails dug into his temples, and the heavy rain washed away the dazzling bruises and bruises on his neck. Half of a scrap of paper fell from his soaked sleeve, and the word "Mo Li" stained with ink burned his eyes under the lightning - that was the only clue pointing to his past, and it was also the ironclad evidence of killing the god. When the stage of the Chenghuang Temple collapsed last night, he was the only one standing on the ruins of the statue. The golden eye rolled down to his feet, and the steel rope in his hand was still filled with warm blood. The temple priest died suddenly, the believers went crazy, and the young man lost his memory. "Obstacle! The drama god must not be insulted!" "Hang him to sacrifice to heaven!" The roars of the pursuers were approaching, mixed with the thunder. He clutched the scrap of paper tightly and ran wildly, his torn opera robe like the cloak of a dying crane. Every time he stepped on a puddle, strange images popped into his mind: the puppet wrapped with silver threads... The smiling gold-faced spectators in the audience... And the joyful smile on his lips when he hung up the blood-stained steel rope - "I remember..." The young man suddenly turned around and opened his clothes under the horrified eyes of the pursuers. Three blood marks were torn from the collarbone to the heart, forming the curse seal of the forbidden technique "Changing Fate Against Heaven"! "That's it." His muddy fingertips touched the curse mark, and when he raised his eyes, his confusion disappeared. The heavy rain washed away the clots of blood on the opera robe, and the scarlet color began to evaporate and turn into thousands of threads wrapped around the arm - "I am not the god of opera." "I am the god-killing knife." Core of the novel 1. The image of the red clothes in the heavy rain: a strong visual memory point 2. Triple reversal: amnesia murderer → god-killing executor → cursed seal container 3. Cthulhu of the East: The Golden-faced Spectator/Puppet Threads are a metaphor for "controlling destiny".

   At the level of value expression, the CP-free setting strips away emotional attachment and highlights female subjectivity. The heroine does not use love as a fetter for her practice, but focuses on the dialogue between herself and the way of heaven. The heroine of Mulinggen uses plants and trees as her teachers to realize that "life is endless", and the heroine of Leilinggen uses the power of thunder to "kill in a proper way". In the game with the rules of heaven and earth, they build an independent spiritual world and convey the value concept of "women can break through the shackles by their own strength." At the same time, the narrative branches such as the development of the sect and the exploration of the avenue allow the practice to transcend the individual dimension. The heroine leads the sect to grow, organizes the order of practice, integrates personal growth into the group mission, and gives the narrative of cultivating immortality a broader social significance [smile]
