The Classic of Mountains and Seas contains countless myths, with pretty much every legend you could want. When I read it, I couldn’t help wondering about things like why Jingwei went out to play in the sea in the first place. Well, now she’s dead. Or take the drum made from Kui Ox hide during the battle between the Yellow Emperor and Chiyou. That was a Kui Ox, for heaven’s sake, a ferocious beast. Where did they get its hide? I’ve worked relatively reasonable plot developments for all these things into this book, and boldly added a story about how the Xuanyuan Sword was forged, too. People are always talking about the Xuanyuan Sword, but where did it come from? I hope I can amaze all of you readers. This is the first part of a series. Well, actually, it was just too hard to write, so I split it up, but that won’t affect the quality of the reading experience.
