That Year, That Cicada, That Sword

This is not a good book, it requires a little careful reading. The grand background presented by the author: it seems complicated at first reading, but it is amazing after reading it carefully. There are many borrowed historical allusions in the book. Every time I read it, I always feel like looking back on the past years. The world is still the same as the dynasties have changed. Each has its own interest. Only after reading it will you feel no regrets! !

There is breadth, depth, charm, philosophy, worldly intrigues, grudges and grudges in the world, social situations at the bottom, strife and criticism at high places, family affairs, state affairs, world affairs, only the sword can do the job. The author writes fluently, has rich knowledge, is talented, and has outstanding literary talent. The storyline is wild but interlocking, the historical allusions are readily available and reasonable, and the use of language is rigorous and elegant yet can be appreciated by both refined and popular tastes. Reading is a situation for ordinary people, reading is a situation for educated people, and reading is another situation for knowledgeable people.

The beginning is really good. Before reading it, I read other people's book reviews saying that this book was anticlimactic. In fact, I think it is okay. Although the ending feels a bit too fast. I regret not watching Nangui's enlightenment and his ascension. However, I think that for our protagonist Xu Beiyou, ascension is no longer a problem. Another person is very curious about the Sixteenth Shangqing. In other words, Xu Beiyou is the last sect leader. I don't know how the general trend will develop in the future.

A summer of cicadas and swords, a horse and a thousand taels of gold. The young man meets the royal daughter for the first time, but Biyou becomes the first to learn it. Traveling north and returning south in the coming year, half of the sky will be occupied by the Jianzong royal family. The past is cleared up with a sword, and we can enjoy the fate of the world together for a long time. Spring has gone and autumn has come, and the flowers of three generations have faded and bloomed. The enemy of the country died before snow, and the fairy sword in the box had a spirit at night. A cicada? It's summer! Yi could not resign from the clan and return to the sect, so he fought at the tiger's mouth in the north and south. After a narrow escape from death, he defeated the Taoist sect and beheaded the king. Autumn leaves fall on Lotus Peak, and Kunlun has lost its beauty since then. Danxia is like a dream and the years are fleeting. They are both in the same world but in different ways. When I was seven years old, I held a cicada and thought I was holding the whole summer. When he was seventeen, he kissed her face and owned the whole world. The novel has a novel concept, a unique theme, clear paragraphs, ups and downs, a clear main line, and is fascinating. It shows extraordinary literary skills in its plainness. It comes from feelings, and feels lost in the heart, with unfinished meaning. The mountains are high and the rivers are long, see you in the world!

The first few chapters are amazingly written, and can be called a stroke of genius. When it gradually gets to the middle part, it digs some holes. The writing in the following chapters is pretty good. Although some holes are not buried, the ending is good, with a beginning and an end, which is very good. At first I was almost put off by the title of the book. Okay: Fellow Taoists, it's over now, see you in the world!

This book is tasteless, tasteless to eat, and a pity to throw away! I also admire myself for being able to read more than four hundred chapters! I really can't stand it anymore. There is a shortage of books and there is nothing we can do! The author is a bit unable to control this book. Some plots are not foreshadowed where they should be, the plot logic does not make sense, and some useless narrations are repeated endlessly.

I have reread it three times. At this time, the author is a fan of Beacon Fire, and his writing style is also very similar. However, I personally feel that this book is in a genre of its own. It is different from a long book. It is not long or short, and it happens to be able to contain a world, a temple, a boy, and a summer cicada. The emotions of the characters in the article are still very delicate, and there are not too many sideshows. The basic story revolves around Xu Beiyou's journey to become a human master, revitalize the sword sect, and avenge his master. There are many battles of wits and courage in the article, and there is nothing wrong with it. It is really a masterpiece of martial arts. One person thinks that Nan Gui can have a small harem hahahaha

I spent half a year watching it on and off, and finally finished it. Here are my personal feelings. There are two major highlights. One is character creation. The author spent a lot of pen and ink to create the image of the characters, mainly contrasting and setting off. The most intuitive thing to feel is the change of Xu Beiyou. When he saw Xu Beiyou finally conquering the world and reviving the Sword Sect, he returned to Xiaofangzhai with Xiao Zhinan, and then compared him. The scene when I first met Xiao Zhinan here in 2016, I couldn't help but sigh at how fast this person grew and changed. After taking over the inheritance of the Sword Sect, he didn't become powerful all of a sudden, but he gradually grew up after experiencing life and death tests again and again. It was much better than most of the current novels that are fast and fast. The arrangement of the secondary characters also shows the author's attentiveness. For example, Gongsun Zhongmou's exit paved the way for Beiyou's subsequent spiritual growth, such as the complicated grudges and grudges of the older generation, etc. The second is the writing style, I believe everyone can read it. I was amazed at the beginning, and the sentence "asking for the sword" was really exciting. The allusions and poems that appear in the article are also wonderful in describing the moves. The words and sentences are not overlaid with vernacular and are unconventional. It is refreshing for me who am tired of the aesthetics of immortal heroes. It really has a warm and yellow flavor of Jin Gu Liang. One drawback is that some of the same words and phrases always appear frequently in articles, which gives the impression that the author is running out of words. Generally speaking, That Sword of the Cicada is definitely a good novel. Although there are some pitfalls in the plot and the overall pace is fast, it is indeed a rare masterpiece. It beats most fairy tales and is almost comparable to The Sword. I like it very much😄

Back then, from the ninth rank to the fifth rank, one could reach the sky in one step. Experts from the imperial capital are everywhere, and there are as many immortals as dogs in the Xuandu capital. With all the twelve divine swords in hand, an invincible immortal can be created. Holding the Zhuxian Sword vertically and horizontally, the revitalized Sword Sect is in front of you. There are eight kings of harps, harps, and lutes, and four little ghosts of ghosts and demons. Fighting with a single sword and bloody clothes, who is my enemy? One person and one sword travel through the rivers and lakes, spring passes and autumn comes in a matter of seconds. I have climbed to the top and am proud of the world, and I am as carefree as the gods with you.

Personally, I think there's a lot of nonsense. The scene where they first met Nan in the Northern Journey was quite interesting. When I saw the part where the two separated in Jiangnan, I suddenly remembered that every time Xiao Zhinan appeared, there were a lot of explanations and various explanations. As for the part about the pretty boy, the explanation actually took a whole chapter and a half. I didn't realize it at first, but then I thought about the past chapters. Basically, when a character comes out, it takes half a chapter or two chapters to explain the various experiences of that character from birth to now. I can't imagine a situation where a person who is destined to die can give you an understanding of his life history in one or two chapters. I stopped reading after seeing the family dinner. I felt like I couldn't stand it anymore and my head was going to explode. It's not like a brain-burning novel. What I can't imagine is that in various forms, the situation is very obvious and I have to forcefully write what kind of experience it is to find trouble. Take the first time I arrived in Jiangdu, I didn't hide my whereabouts and find a place to observe the situation. Instead, he went to the most crowded place to seek death. Didn't he know that he was no different than a street rat?
