The companion novel in the same series, "The Brush of Mountains and Rivers", is now out!
In the winter of the thirty-sixth year of Wuzhao, Jiyuan and Dala joined forces to attack Wu. The Dragon-Tiger Army marched south to conquer the south and north, and the fighting reached a stalemate.
That day, the general's daughter of the Yun family, who had taken her brother's place, slowly entered a large, dark, freezing tent.
In the faint moonlight, she saw a slender man.
His lips were chapped, and his features gentle. He looked mild and harmless, yet in the pitch-black silence, his true, steely nature suddenly emerged.
She suppressed her murderous intent and turned to leave. Outside the tent, the cold cut to the bone, and fierce winds and driving snow filled her eyes. But what she could not see through the blinding storm was the colossal wave surging beneath the surface of this decaying dynasty.
#The mountain passes are hard to cross. Who will mourn those lost along the way?#

[Ensemble cast of young people + tyrant in a troubled age]
During the Hongde era of the Great Kang dynasty, there once lived a female tyrant.
She murdered her father, killed the upright scholars, destroyed the Ten Directions City, and waged war without restraint. She melted a hundred million weapons to cast a Guanyin statue, then drove the barbarians six thousand li away beneath a sea of white robes.
Later, a denunciation of Qi appeared out of nowhere. Eminent officials and scholars in the government took up arms, rallied behind a new emperor, overthrew the tyrant, and restored peace and order.
Overnight, 9,900 Guanyin statues were toppled. Only one remained, a crooked clay bodhisattva squatting beside a pond outside a remote, uninhabited mountain called Fangcun.
Wind and frost battered it; sun and rain wore it down. Its features had blurred, but one could still make out the shape of Guanyin.
Ten years earlier, a young man and woman had passed through this place. The girl casually pointed to the summer lotus flowers in the pond and said, "Look at all these lotuses. They rise from the mud unstained."
"Mm-hmm." The boy propped his chin in his hand and gazed at the pretty girl beside him. He loved hearing her say such refined things. "So you're a lotus, right?"
The girl cast him a sidelong glance. "I'm the mud."
If you can't keep yourself unstained, how can you write of a thousand miles? If you can't keep yourself free of black, how can you paint the mountains and rivers?
A rare hint of dejection touched the girl's usually composed, cool features. But the boy looked at the patch of black mud beside the pond and said, "Mud is good."
"Mud protects the flowers even better. And you can mold it into a bodhisattva."
Theme: Though the country falls, its mountains and rivers remain.

From interested bystander to fallen believer A very well-written group portrait novel, Zhao Qianguan, Zhao Linlu, Qimeng, Tang Gan, Liu Yingfei, and Spruce. The images of many people are very specific. The author's portrayal of each of their emotions, beliefs, and life experiences gives people a real and penetrating feeling. Everyone made me shed tears when they died, so that I already knew the ending when I finished the second play. I still couldn't help but feel sad when I saw them offline. But this time I actually want to talk about the male protagonist. There are very few positive descriptions of the male protagonist. Most of his appearances leave people with a gentle and smiling feeling. However, during the viewing process, many subtle details often make people feel that the male protagonist is definitely not a gentle person in a pure sense. This feeling is very clearly reflected in the early stage when the male protagonist returns to the camp to take charge of the troops, the middle stage when he kills Xiao Qiang after a disagreement, the late stage when he is in a desperate situation with an expressionless face before the female protagonist appears in the city gate battle, and finally when he single-handedly kills King Dara. During the second brush, I paid close attention to the various reactions and expressions of the male protagonist when he appeared, and then finally discovered that this fucking man is just pretending. He only behaves so decently and tenderly when the female protagonist appears. As long as the female protagonist is not present, the male protagonist is no different from a murderer. This man doesn't care about anything except the female protagonist, including himself. It's so crazy. After finishing the second episode, if you look at it from the perspective of the male protagonist, this is completely a story about a cold-blooded bystander who gets stuck step by step and cannot extricate himself (tears) The male protagonist's line is written in large letters and is very subtle. The emotional changes towards Qinglan, including the male protagonist's own character, thoughts and intentions, are all written in a very subtle way, but when you look closely, you find that there are clues everywhere (crying) When the male protagonist meets the female protagonist in such a situation, although he is very gentle from the beginning, it should be more of a casual curiosity and appreciation in the early stage. Then he has been paying attention to the female protagonist as a bystander. He rarely participates in the female protagonist's decision-making. He seems to be aloof but yet He couldn't help but take action every time. Out of interest, when he looked at the heroine, he seemed to be looking at himself. To a certain extent, the early life experiences of the male and female protagonists were similar, but they went in two completely different directions. The male protagonist had been ignored for more than ten years. The proton in the eyes lives a life full of cold hatred for the world, and although the heroine lives a very lonely and selfless life, she is still full of love for the world and the common people. The male protagonist gives the only kindness and tenderness to the world to the heroine. From a human perspective, with the heroine The male protagonist truly becomes a human being. The female protagonist redeems the male protagonist, not because of what the female protagonist has done for the male protagonist (although she does appear when the male protagonist is in the most desperate situation), but because the existence of the female protagonist makes the male protagonist feel light, just like the sentence in the article, what does the moon need to do? She doesn't have to do anything, she just needs to move forward on her chosen path, which is enough to illuminate many people. I remember one of the few confessions of the male protagonist: She loves the world, so he is glad that he is also a world person - she loves him. Seeing this, I almost got goosebumps. She said the most paranoid words in the calmest tone. He didn't even need her to respond to him with the same emotion as a lover. This feeling was like she was a believer. The hero's love for the heroine is extremely devout. In a sense, I even saw the great love hidden deep in the male protagonist's heart from this sentence. Although he said that he didn't care about all living beings, he devoutly loved a woman who had the world at heart. Although the main line of this article is that the male protagonist is the one being redeemed, in fact, if you look at it all the way, you will see that the male protagonist's redemption for the female protagonist is also very important. Although the male protagonist is paranoid, he is also transparent enough. His paranoia is a belief-style paranoia after he has a very clear idea of himself and life, while the female protagonist was very ignorant in this regard at the beginning. In the full text, I saw the step-by-step growth process of an ordinary woman. The heroine lives in a family environment that suppresses her personality and self. She has top-notch martial arts, but she has always been in a state of suppressed personality. In this regard, the male protagonist is her guide. The female protagonist's growth process is full of ego, awakening, and resistance. The male protagonist who guides the female protagonist at multiple key points is very indispensable. But this is not actually to say that the male protagonist becomes the heroine's guide and savior because he is transparent enough, but in the 20 years of the heroine's growth life, only the male protagonist really pays attention to the heroine's heart. Because of this premise, he will become the heroine's savior after having a cruel experience. Therefore, I personally believe that this is a pair of complementary soul mates. The male protagonist saw through the nature of the world and everyone around him in a cold growth environment, but lost his passion and tenderness for the world because he matured too early, so he was initially sober and cold, while the female protagonist still retained her love and kindness for the world in a suppressed environment, but lost her focus on her own personality due to the overly repressive environment, so she was initially confused but compassionate. Then they met, got to know each other, embraced each other, became better people, and climbed over the mountains.
It's so beautiful. I hope it can be made into a TV series one day, and I hope good actors will perform it.
Ending, I haven't seen such a good article in a long time. Thank you, my wife, for persisting in writing and producing such a good work. Thank you for this story, and thank you to every flesh-and-blood person in it.
The first article I read in Jinjiang, "Miss Yun, why do you hold a sword?" It shows that you can cross the mountains without lack of courage and hope. Looking forward to the sequel~
Woohoo, I love you all!! I went to work today, but I worked overtime until around 8pm and the fever started again. When I went to the hospital for emergency treatment, the nurse said I had to wait in line for four hours before I could see him. I really collapsed and planned to go home and sleep. Recently, H1N1 has been really serious and there have been many cases in Beijing. Everyone, no matter where you are, must pay attention to precautions! After reading everyone's messages one by one, I was really touched and happy! It is such a blessing to meet you all!!
Finished chasing!!! The writing is really good~ The writing style is good, but I am not very talented and have little knowledge. I can't express the feeling that the novel brings me... I wish you can write better articles and won't worry about coding~ Give DaDa this book a call? Recommend~
Thank you for bringing me such an article, "Faith and Light." After reading this article, these words suddenly popped up in my mind. Everyone has his own place of origin and destination. Some people go after their faith, some people follow their faith, and some people find their own faith as they grow step by step. They try their best to stick to their faith and become that beam of light. [The words "imperial invasion, national hatred and family feud" are very heavy, and in this heavy light I saw the light that thousands of people have died for me] My writing power is limited, I have thought a lot but it is difficult to express it in words... Haha, ah, h bear, thank you! Your words let me see the rare sincerity. You will definitely go far and far! Looking forward to the next story
To sum it up, I still want to say something to the author. The plot in the previous battle looked good, but starting from the return of the master, the plot was a bit messy, including the emotional line. The male protagonist disappeared for several chapters, and it was a bit unconnected, and even the later chapters were a bit messy. To be honest, I did not jump to the next chapter. I unlocked and subscribed to them all one by one. I read the last part very quickly. I probably knew that almost everyone was dead, but the male and female protagonists were alive, especially If the author wants to focus on power and family and country, then the emotional line will be a little abrupt. If there is not so much emphasis on power and strategy, the emotional line will be even more meaningless, including the extras. For romance, whether it is the great cause of family and country or the long flow of love, I suggest that the author can slightly revise the emotional line of the male and female protagonists. After returning to the court from Ben Shi, it looks quite messy here. Generally speaking, the author's writing is still okay. It is already very good. Come on!
But... The heroine is left with herself (and Qin Chaochu)... I am still in a daze after reading it, a little sad. It is difficult to cross the mountain. Who can feel sad for those who have lost their way?
