Open Fire: Embers of Heaven

From the end of "Yi Tian" to the opening of "Swordsman", there was a long gap of fifty years - why did the Ming Cult become the Sun and Moon Cult? What kind of ups and downs have Wudang and Shaolin experienced? What are the descendants of Zhang Wuji and Zhao Min like? "Minghuo: Embers of Yitian" is an affectionate filler for this gap, a tragic song in which the ashes of Mingjiao turned into the Sun and Moon God Sect, and a secret history of martial arts that was obscured behind the Battle of Jingnan. The protagonist of this book is Zhang Feng. He is Zhang Wuji's son, but he does not have the compassion for everyone that his father did; he is half Mongolian, and has the fierceness of the grassland in his bones, but he has turned himself into a handyman who chops wood and boils water. It's not that he doesn't want to be happy with his grudges, but there is a voice telling him: a real knight is not about how many people he can kill, but how many people he can defend. If you have ever felt sad for the figure who left for the grassland in the ending of "Yitian", you might as well come to this small town in the south of the Yangtze River for a while. The fire in the Wangyou Tavern has not been extinguished, and the warmth of a person is still left on the stone slab in the backyard, and the boy chopping firewood is preparing to draw a sword for a person.
