Immortals and the Martial World
Drink the strongest liquor and read the most thrilling books. Mostly xianxia and historical fiction, updated irregularly. No arrogant, invincible heroes or brainless beginner-level fluff. I mainly recommend xianxia, especially my own book, The Great Xia's Carefree Emperor. Yep, I'm just that shameless. I'll also recommend some interesting historical fiction. It's not easy being a new author. Leave a comment with your book and I'll check it out. Whatever the genre, if it's to my taste and I think

Comments are welcome, and please follow 🌸 I’ve gotten lazy, so now I only recommend books!!! 1. There’s limited space on the list, so the titles below have been removed. Reasons include censorship, abandonment, too much filler, or simply losing interest after a long time 😄 2.

I like it very much. The intellectuals in our country from the Republic of my country to a few decades ago also forcibly walked out of such a path amidst pain and discrimination. I heard from my teacher that a group of them went to the Soviet Union to study at that time. The Chinese were the most conscientious of all the people. Regardless of whether they understood the lesson or not, they wrote down every word the teacher said and digested it bit by bit. They did not dare to skip the class, for fear that if they did, they would miss something, which would cause regret to the country in the future. . . When they visited the factory, the temperature was so high that their hair almost burned, and they even used pens to record what they saw and heard as if they didn't realize it. The pen didn't stop for a moment during the entire process.
This is a historical novel wrapped in fantasy. I wonder if the author has considered transcending the historical timeline a little bit. The character and magnanimity of the generation of literati in the Republic of China are also worth writing about. For example, there are only a few people in each generation with a strong character who "will die loudly and live in silence." This is not unusual, but it is very interesting that there is a group phenomenon like the Republic of China. This must be an era in which all hopes are built and then shattered to produce so many lunatics who are willing to risk their lives. In fact, judging from the current view, the literati of that era were more or less mentally ill and paranoid, such as Li Jiye with extremely long hair, Gao Changhong who exuded a weird smell of pretentiousness, Wei Suyuan who showed morbid affection, and so on. But it was these lunatics, deviants, madmen, and fighters who came together to make a roar that had never been seen in China in five thousand years. I like their stories very much. Stories about darkness and light, conservatives and radicals, fanatics and sour scholars, confused people and martyrs. These people and things are always intertwined into black and white images of changing light and shadow in my mind. This world probably no longer has the Republic of China because of the Yin Dynasty. This is of course very good, but it would be a pity not to write about the old people, old news, and the old era.
I just watched the first few pictures and couldn't stand it any longer. The black dog's blood will destroy everything? ? ? Then my aunt's blood is invincible! ╮(╯▽╰)╭
Either just write history to serve the country, or else just cultivate honestly. If you don't want to please either of you, why bother? The protagonist keeps talking about doing it for the country. However, in the eyes of readers, Daqi is not China at all. There is no sense of belonging to a strange country. Seeing the protagonist working hard there, I even want to laugh...
The poison has been tested. There are no Taoist priests. They are just selling mutton and dog meat as a gimmick. The main thing is mages. If you want to see Taoist priests PK mages, you can go, because in this book, Taoist priests are garbage and mages are bullshit. Moreover, the protagonist is still a somewhat NPC person. Maybe the author has activated the aura of reducing intelligence.
The author is not one person, but a group of people. The author is definitely not one person, but several people working together to make up the story. Otherwise, there wouldn't be some inconsistent plots, and the writing would even be messy. For example, I saw that when the first floor of the Magic Castle was just repaired, there was some kind of black snake incident, but there was no such thing in the previous article. It shows that the author wrote in a mess.
Is it interesting to see the yellow-skinned monkey every day? Who are you insulting?
Is it true that Europeans have never been bullied? They were suppressed and beaten by the Khan and Sudan throughout history. Suddenly they became prosperous and became yellow-skinned monkeys every day. Everyone looks down on them, is it possible?
To be fair, the human body's blood evil and filth can defeat all evil spirits. It's too buggy, and Lei Fa refuses to accept it! Once the powerful thunder that can overcome all evil spirits comes down, no matter what garbage blood evil and filth you have, all of them will die... The thunder punishment of the heavenly tribulation is not a joke... Because its own attributes are the tricks used by heaven to punish others, it is inherently superior to some extent... Lei Fa has the aura of the protagonist...
Alas, it is impossible for Master Xihuan's system to manifest the soul, because the soul can reveal all kinds of thoughts in the heart. How can it be impossible to develop Taoism with all the subtleties of essence and energy in the physical body? However, there is no concept of "qi" in Western people's minds (otherwise, if you look for a Western word to translate it, you won't find it!), And within the human body, the three treasures of essence, Qi, and spirit are interconnected and transformed. When the Yuan Shen appears, you can understand the delusional mind, know the behavior of the body and mind, and put an end to all kinds of distorted delusions. You will naturally work hard on "what you do is what you want, and what you should do is what you want to do." Finally, you will reach the small perfection of "the body and mind are non-dual". Gradually, you will understand the tranquility and inaction, see the true meaning of simplicity, and the three treasures will be mixed together. This is called the great achievement of the golden elixir. Looking at the mages in this book, each one has great delusions and desires, indulging in all kinds of extravagant enjoyments in the world, squeezing the vast human and material resources to serve a very small group of mages, in order to improve their magic power, disregarding life, and stealing all things. They say they pursue truth and knowledge, but what they want in their hearts is to dominate all living things to become gods, pretend to be the heart of heaven as their own, and deceive the trust of others. Is there any sign of spiritual enlightenment? Have you ever experienced the panic of conscience caused by the manifestation of the soul? The nature of the soul is the law of heaven and conscience. For a person whose true soul appears, doing evil things is tantamount to killing himself, unless he does not know his mind at all, but plays with his spirit and becomes deluded. To sum up, the author's assumption that "the master's practice can make the soul appear" has no basis in Taoist alchemy.
The author needs to learn how to write manuscripts. What does it matter if the land is lost? What does it matter if the country is invaded? As long as you learn true skills and become truly strong, you can easily regain what you have lost. As an ant, what qualifications do you have to get involved in the struggle between masters? Just rely on the halo of pig's feet? I'm tired of reading this kind of writing. Although your writing skills are improving in several of your books, your thoughts and creativity have always remained at the same place.
