The Strange Pulse and Armor

The human heart can hold great kindness or great evil, and the rules of the martial world govern people’s words and deeds. Chivalry roams the land, while money turns the millstone. Gongsun Wuwei is a master physiognomist known as “Lord Gongsun.” To cure the Black Blood affliction, he travels across mountains and rivers in search of the Five Suns, saving the truly good from peril and sending the truly wicked behind bars. Once Gongsun Wuwei enters the martial world, he is no longer his own master. Caught between competing interests, he acts only for righteousness, sacrificing himself for others and treating money as dirt, the common people as his own parents. In his love and hate for Wei Lan, he never acts against his conscience. With Hei Ji, he shares the bond of sworn brotherhood, ready to take a blade for him. In the end, he transforms the Black Blood into Red Blood and ensures that his merit will endure for all ages. A person who lives with honor knows both the emptiness of glory and the harshness of the world; this book proclaims the righteous path through life’s vicissitudes.
