Xuanmai Beacon: Fourteen Years of Defending the Frontier

In ancient times, Kyushu laid down a network of defensive mystical veins all over the region, and Tao formations were hidden at the nodes of mountains and rivers to protect the stability of the earth's energy for thousands of years. Neighboring island forces covet the foundation of the mountains and rivers, and use the flames of war to launch a plan to corrode the evil spirit and dig out the veins: advance the front with guns and artillery, secretly send a team of evil cultivators to destroy the formation, massacre the creatures, breed evil spirits and corrode the earth veins. In 1931, when Xuanliao Tutu fell, Shen Yanzhou, the descendant of the pulse-keeping craftsmen, was forced to leave the village. He repaired the damaged formations with earth-moving mysticism, and combined with regular army soldiers, folk craftsmen, and Taoist monks to explore the coordinated tactics of hot and cold weapons and mysticism. From blocking secret attacks in the villages outside the pass, to deploying defenses along the mountains along the Great Wall, through the defensive defense at Canglan Port, the tug-of-war at Taiyan Pass, guerrilla warfare behind enemy lines in the Cangxuan Mountains, and the expedition into the jungles of western Yunnan, the entire journey follows the timeline of the real battles of the 14-year War of Resistance Against Japan. The officer Lu Chengyuan is pragmatic and courageous, the intelligence monk Su Wanhe is lurking behind enemy lines, and the old Shi Bo is at the grassroots level to protect the formation. They all have timidity, hesitation, and decision-making mistakes, and they stick to each other in the cruel battle situation; the enemy commander Fujino Sosuke has a meticulous layout, and the lurking evil cultivator Asakawa Na is full of internal contradictions, and the characters in the enemy and our camps are not stereotypical. The roar of guns and cannons shakes the base of the formation, the evil formation of black mist sneaks into villages and towns, and the continuous flames of war awaken the primitive evil seeds that have been dormant underground for thousands of years. The soldiers and civilians defended every step of the way, repairing thousands of formations all over the country, and winning every offensive and defensive position. When the counterattack across the region was successful, the remaining evil cultivators destroyed the experimental records and were scattered and hidden. The original evil seed was only temporarily dormant, and half of the evil seed samples were missing. The deep cracks in the Kyushu Xuan Vein needed to be repaired urgently, and a new crisis lurked beneath the surface of peace.
