Cang's Ramblings

Chapter 1007 1003. Comments on Dou Zhanlong's Treasures: Seven Pole and Eight Vajra

Hello everyone, I am Cang Yiwei.

What I recommend to you today is the new book by Tianxia Bachang.

"Dou Zhanlong's Treasures: Seven Pole and Eight Vajra", the most popular song in the world.

Story summary:
This novel tells the story of Dou Zhanlong, a man who "hides treasures." During the Qianlong reign, a merchant organization called the "Ganzi Gang" emerged in Leting County, Yongping Prefecture, not far from the capital. Leader Dou Jingshan expanded his family business, prospering. However, his good fortune was short-lived; he was murdered and his family fortune was completely lost. Dou Zhanlong's generation suffered even more bleak circumstances. Orphaned at a young age, Dou Zhanlong was raised with great difficulty by his eldest sister. Born with a night owl's eye, Dou Zhanlong traveled extensively on his black donkey, enduring numerous hardships and developing the skill of "hiding treasures," becoming one of the Four Prodigies of Tianjin.

This book continues the author Tianxia Bachang's usual language style. The plot is compact and not boring. It is interesting, curious and readable. It is an attractive suspense adventure novel.

【Brief Comment】

This book is just a warm-up, and it will be officially released in more than two months.

I was fortunate enough to get in touch with the editor of the publishing house and got some trial reading materials, which I would like to share with you briefly now.

This book is not very long, only about 300 pages at most.

It mainly includes ten chapters: Taoist Cui listening to stories, Dou Zhanlong's birth, Dou Zhanlong hunting birds, Dou Zhanlong going to the city, Dou Zhanlong cooking, Dou Zhanlong going to the market, Dou Zhanlong buying a donkey, Dou Zhanlong watching a play, Dou Zhanlong attending a banquet, and Taoist Cui telling stories.

This book is part of Tianxia Bachang's "Four Gods Fighting Three Demons" series.

Since the late Qing Dynasty, Tianjin has produced countless eccentrics, the so-called "Seven Wonders and Eight Eccentrics", each possessing one unique quality or one eccentricity, and among them are righteous, evil, good, and evil.

Above the "Seven Wonders and Eight Monsters" are the "Four Gods and Three Demons." The "Three Demons" have always been hidden. In "River God," there is no mention of them at all. In "Fire God," it is only mentioned at the end that Li Zilong, the Taoist priest who collects corpses and refines bones in the White Bone Tower, is one of the three demons. The "Four Gods" refer to the four great strange men of Tianjin in the old society:
River God: Guo Deyou is one of them. He is good at swimming and is known as the "Water Policeman". He has solved many strange cases.

Fire God: Liu Hengshun is a fast runner of the Fire Temple Police Station. People call him "Fire God Going to the Street" because he is an expert at catching thieves.

God of Disaster: Taoist Cui can review disaster lists, judge yin and yang, and is good at subduing demons and catching monsters.

God of Wealth: Dou Zhanlong is an expert at hiding treasures and can identify any treasure he has.

Therefore, if you have not read any of the above books, it will not affect your reading experience at all.

Of course, if anyone has watched the TV series "River God" or "Da Shaer" which is currently being serialized on Qidian, then they will have a pretty good grasp of the style of his new book.

The trial chapters I got are not many, but it has been serialized up to Section 18 in the Pioneer Reading Club. If you like to try something new, you can go and take a look first.

However, my personal suggestion is to wait until the new book is officially released before getting a copy.

Because this book is not very suitable for serialization, its online properties are not as strong as the "Ghost Blows Out the Light" series. The early stage is relatively long, the various settings of urban life are dazzling, and the exciting points are not delivered in the first place. Some readers with more impatient temperaments will find it difficult to make it past the first three chapters.

The best option is to read the new book in one sitting once it's released. I'm really looking forward to it!
【to sum up】

Writing is not easy, so cherish every moment.
