The calamity of witchcraft and sorcery has persisted for thousands of years, ever since the Western Han dynasty, despite repeated bans. Even today, with traditional Chinese learning in decline and public awareness growing, only rural folk in China speak of it. Many people who are right in the middle of it remain completely unaware. Meanwhile, witchcraft, gu poison, head-dropping curses, and Maoshan arts are flourishing throughout Southeast Asia, where schools and sects abound.
Dear friends, do you really think there are no extraordinary people in China? You do? No! No! No!
Lu Yan, a young man from the Miao frontier, was attacked on his way home and infected with a terrifying gu poison. Struggling to survive, he discovers that one of his own relatives is an even more terrifying gu-raiser from the Miao frontier. And as if his bad luck weren't enough, while seeking a cure, he gets caught up in a mysterious case involving the disappearance of a certain important figure, with no way to escape...
Evil forces return, and former friends become enemies. Danger lurks everywhere, and the mastermind behind it all is about to reveal himself!
In this remote land, who can stand against the thirty-fourth layer of the sword
The plot and writing are both exceptionally captivating; I read it twice in its entirety. I was left wanting more after finishing it!
This book is very well written, with captivating details and plot points, though the veracity of many locations and times is uncertain.
That's great, Little Poison's third-person perspective is much cooler. I wonder if Lu Yan's third-person perspective is also a cool and goofy guy?
A very good novel, with a smooth writing style and plenty of humor. The plot is full of twists and turns. The events in the story are both true and false. Who can say for sure what is real and what is not?
It's not bad, but not as thrilling as Gu 1 and The Legend of Gu Catcher.
