Synopsis
Three years after the apocalypse of the Dayong Dynasty, rituals collapsed and music collapsed, and imperial power fell away. Frequent phenomena occur in the world, and in troubled times there will always be a "black wind". Mortals are exposed to madness, and monks use it to cultivate themselves. This is a "treacherous path" that uses itself as a container to seal the terrifying wind evil. Gu Qingzhou, the orphan of the former "Guanfeng Envoy" of the Qin Dynasty Prison, is now just a blind storyteller living in the world. Although he is blind, he can listen to the wind and identify the position, and see the "shape of the wind" that is invisible to ordinary people; he has a mysterious purple energy sealed in his body, which is not only the only antidote to suppress the wind evil, but also the source of covetousness by all forces. I originally thought that Xianyun Yehe would end his life, but due to a strange "east wind", he was forced to be involved in a shocking conspiracy to overthrow the dynasty. The tragic death of his father, the hidden secrets in his suicide note, the murder of the red-robed wind demon... When the "Shuo Yue Quan Zhuan" sandwiched in the piano case was stained with blood, the blank pages finally revealed the truth that could overturn the world. When the east wind rises, the fate of the country declines. Should he follow his destiny and become a slave to the wind, or should he use false cultivation to tear apart the darkness? Gu Qingzhou held the broken three-stringed balalaika in his arms and walked in the dark wind singing: "Since there is a hole in the sky of Dayong, let me hear why this east wind breaks!" Purpose: "East Wind Break" aims to break the inherent routine of traditional Eastern fantasy of "golden elixir, Yuanying, ascending to immortality", and attempts to build an alternative world of cultivation that is "weird, depressing but full of tension". The work uses "wind" as the core image, deeply binds natural phenomena (wind prison) with the rise and fall of dynasties (national destiny), and explores how individual destiny competes with the grand historical torrent in troubled times where rituals and music are broken. The protagonist Gu Qingzhou, as a blind man, "listens to the wind to identify the position" and searches for the truth amidst the invisible horror, symbolizing the persistent pursuit of light and justice in an era of despair.
