The Red Dust Laughs at the Wind and Rain

In the second year of Kaiyuan, the young man Mo Ran traveled around the world with a long black sword in his hand. When I came to Suzhou, I heard that Meng Derong, the richest man in Suzhou, was competing for a job with the peerless martial arts "Book of Thousand Dragons", and he was competing to recruit a bride. Attracting various forces to gather in Suzhou, undercurrents surged. At Fengyu Inn outside the city of Suzhou, Mo Ran saw Xuan Hezi, a member of the so-called upright Sanxuan sect, using his sword without mercy, and met a mysterious old man who taught him exquisite sword moves. However, the real crisis ensued - strange murders occurred one after another in the city of Suzhou. The ghostly shadow flashed outside the window, the corpse whose throat was sealed with a sword, and the "Blood Plum" mark on the corpse that should have disappeared with the destruction of the "Shadow Gate" ten years ago, opened the curtain of the storm in Suzhou. Entrusted by his elder Xu Gong, Mo Ran assisted in investigating the case, but suddenly he learned that his adoptive father Zhao Zhuo, who regarded him as his own son, was involved in a turmoil in the court, and his life and death were unknown. Childhood sweetheart Zhao Qingyun was forced to run away from Luoyang. And the origin of Mo Ran's ink sword is closely related to the turmoil in the court. How should Mo Ran choose? The grievances and grievances of the world are intertwined with the intrigues of the court, and the mystery of one's life experience is entangled with fate. In this turbulent rivers and lakes, fame, power, money, hatred, wine, love, and chivalry will all surge in this rolling world of mortals. The choice of fate will lead them to what kind of "Tao".
