Night Rain and Sparse Lanterns

This is the main biography of the "Lamps in the Night Rain in the Rivers and Ten Years" series, so it is also named "Lamps in the Rain in the Rivers and the Lakes for Ten Years". Brief Quote In the summer of the second year of Guangde, in Chang'an, a letter of unknown origin was delivered to He Zigui. The letter contained only a few words, but it suddenly wiped away the dust of the war. It mentioned the traces of her comrades whose life and death were unknown, and led her to go to the south of the Yangtze River to investigate. At this moment, a secret edict was issued in the Daming Palace, and the order to kill came out from the deep palace confinement. The life of the former colleague was hanging by a thread; there were also overturned hands lurking behind it, forcing her to be trapped in the killing trap. At this time, it was only a year since the chaos was calmed down—— In the 14th year of Tianbao, Anlu Mountain raised troops in Fan Yang, and a mirror image of the Tang Dynasty was shattered. The mountains and rivers went through nearly eight years of war, and later generations called it the Anshi Rebellion. The hermit "Drunken Chang'an Immortal" who lived in Jiyue in Zhaoxingfang, Chang'an, and his disciples went to the battlefield to help him. His third disciple, He Zigui, took his sword into the secret camp and carried out an assassination attempt. He was later awarded the title of general and left exiles from all over the world under his command, known as "Phantoms". However, things in the world are unpredictable, the troubled times are about to end, old friends have passed away, and the "Phantom" has also disbanded here. Since then, it has been scattered all over the place. News is hard to find, and life and death are unknown. After the war, He Zigui returned to Jiyueju after being injured, feeling trapped and dejected, and never stepped out of this place again. And a year later, starting from such a letter and the Black Eagle Talisman, the old battle robe was added to her body, and the Red Dust Sword was picked up again. After many years, she left Chang'an again on this trip. Firstly, it was a matter of life and death in the past, and secondly, it was a promise to her former master. The swordsman traveled thousands of miles away, but an invisible web started from this letter. In the city of Hongdu and under the moon in Yangzhou, the same letter and the same handwriting were involved in the surging undercurrents under the Jiangnan Road, involving the past that had been sealed for more than 20 years. And traveling from Jiangnan to the west, will her chaotic wishes and paths be able to see clarity in what she sees and does along the way? There is only one sword in this hand, so how should I hold it safe? Now that she is carrying a sword, where is the path she has in mind? ——"The Red Dust Sword carries the soul of wind and moon, but it should also fall into the mortal world." Copywriting ——The living are passers-by, and the dead are returnees. It coincided with the winter snow in Chang'an when she came, and it was Qingyue in the old capital when she left. ——"When I came, my thin clothes were covered with snow, and when I left, my sleeves were covered with flowers." The past of wolf smoke and beacon fire, the passing years, have been disturbed one after another. This sword comes out again, carrying the soul of the wind and moon, and the soul of the mortal world. The exchanges of old friends, the hardships of life and death, are reflected in the eyes that are tempered by water and fire. Finally, through the fog of confusion, we can see the persistence that has been entangled for hundreds of years. I have walked through the rivers and lakes, walked through the sky full of wars, and also walked through the ashes of this place in the past ten years. However, life is like a journey against the odds, where is the way forward? But eventually someone plays the sword and sings, goes against the light of the sky, and returns with a spark of fire. A cup of wine with peach and plum spring breeze, and a light in the rainy night in the rivers and lakes for ten years. *Peach plums, spring breeze, a glass of wine, rainy night in the rivers and lakes, ten years of light. ——Huang Tingjian's "Send to Huang Jifu" *Only the wedge is in the first person, and the main text is in the third person. Partially saved manuscript + slowly revised, the story that has been polished for five or six years is now ready to see the light of day. The title comes from Xuanding's "Autumn Lamps in the Night Rain" in the Qing Dynasty + takes the meaning of "Lamps in the Night Rain in the Rivers and Lakes for Ten Years". When revising the text, I was inspired by the sentence "The lanterns are sparse in the night rain", so I changed it. It also symbolizes those people who hold on to their inner fire and are scattered everywhere like sparse lanterns in the night rain but still bright. *He Zigui, the protagonist of the overt plot, searches for the plot and asks for clues. The hidden plot is about the changes in the world. The protagonist decodes the story along with the plot. There is a tendency for group portraits. As the saying goes, "Illustrated guide to crazy criticizing idealists". *Slow-burning, the main plot flow, there are many CP lines, but the romance component is not very strong, it mainly serves the plot. The main CP of the two pairs of bright and dark lines is the elder of the woman, and the main CP of He Zigui is two strong and double mad (but the woman is stronger) (the main CP mainly starts from the second volume, and has appeared in the wedge, He Zigui × Xiao Chenbi, female lead, not the four loves, the woman is put first because the woman is always the highest priority for me and this is my child. I have the final say) (The new character card is very abstract, don't read that, just read my words). *It has been ten years since this book was first conceived. During this period, the characters and world view have been revised many times. All setting issues such as previous responses in the comment area can be regarded as meaningless and can be freely come and go. The book will be finalized in September 2024. (Because the original outline has actually been scrapped since the first volume was written, I don't know if there are some things now. In short, I wrote them wherever I went. In the end, they are either there or not.) *This article mainly focuses on martial arts, and the background is the Tang Dynasty (mainly the middle Tang Dynasty, and the prosperous Tang Dynasty in the past). I have tried my best to conduct research, but after all, martial arts still has some fantasy elements, and there is also a small amount of fantasy + Chinese overtones connected with the world view. Since the author's brain power and writing power are not enough, and he is busy with studies, he will try to update as much as possible and be more diligent in his spare time. Intention: As small as dust, but there is a way forward. In this river and lake, some people play long songs, some are unyielding, some are martyred to the fire, and some walk alone. They will eventually continue the light that has not been extinguished by generations of moths flying into the flames since ancient times.
