   Reader note

   The life of Liu Yu, a gambler who crawled out of the mud in Jingkou, to the founding emperor of the Southern Dynasty and Song Dynasty, is a soul-stirring legend. This novel is guided by the mysterious perspective of the "divination man" and interweaves the weight of history with the mystery of fate: the bloody massacre under the Guanggu City, the weeping of the lonely ministers in the critical situation of Jiankang, the bones building the wall on Tongwan City, the mulberry and hemp farming in the fields of Longcheng... In troubled times, heroes are competing for victory, and everyone is looking for their "destiny" in their own way. And Liu Yu, burdened with the pain of losing his wife, the estrangement between his brothers, and the heavy responsibility of his family and country, has to make repeated choices between the blade and the heart of the people. The fortune-teller's words, "A sharp sword and a right heart will live up to the fate of the people" not only point out the fate of a person, but also the proposition of the entire era. There is the iron-bloodedness of killing and decisiveness, the softness of love between children, the sadness of brothers fighting against each other, and the long eve before the emperor's generation. It describes the loneliness of the hero and the desolation of troubled times.

    Reader note

    A graduate student in the Department of Modern History accidentally passed through his soul and became Ye Fashan, a Taoist priest in the early Tang Dynasty. Carrying the memory of two lives, he must not only inherit the magical powers of this Taoist legend in history, but also examine this era from a modern perspective where Buddhism and Taoism run parallel and the undercurrent of exotic religions surges. From his enlightenment in the Taoist temple in Kuocang Mountain to his travel experience in the streets of Chang'an, he used talismans to ward off evil spirits and the skills of stepping and fighting to protect the people. He also used his thorough knowledge to dismantle the witchcraft of Nestorianism (Cross religion) - exposing the "holy water" scam in Liulin Town, breaking the sinister "Blood Lotus Formation" in Guanzhong, and defeating the conspiracy of alienated forces such as A Luohan step by step. He made friends with Li Jing, inspired Li Shimin, and used dreams to legislate the world on the eve of the Xuanwu Gate Incident. In the thirteenth year of Zhenguan, he personally entered the underworld, rewritten the emperor's life span with Taoism, and finally became the master of the Tang Dynasty. The mystery of the connection between heaven and man is hidden in the Zhaijiao rituals, and the philosophy of Lao and Zhuang reveals the Taoist heart of saving the world and bringing peace to people. When the orthodoxy of Taoism encounters the impact of extreme beliefs, and when the torrent of history encounters the changes of travelers, Ye Fashan holds the talisman in his hand and walks on the road. He must not only protect the Taoist lineage in the court and the rivers and lakes, but also use his mysterious power to defend the foundation of a civilization from being swallowed up by evil cults. This is a legend intertwined with magical powers and historical events. It is also a song of Taoism protection in the prosperous Tang Dynasty - observing the way of heaven, determining the way of humanity, talismans fixing mountains and rivers, and the way governs the world.
