What kind of book is this?

No! It's all real historical material, real history, a book that covers the whole world, and it's also covered in a layer of martial arts skin.

Confucius said: That’s quite interesting.

【Brief Comment】

Why did I think of recommending a short story to you today?
The reason is actually very simple.

Because of me, my short story was put on the shelves a few days ago, I joined the author group, and met a group of warm-hearted friends.

And this leaf-sweeping monk was put on the shelves the day before yesterday and created brilliance.

First order 20900!

Although it was a beautiful misunderstanding, according to the author, the first order was only 3100.

I want to curse because my first order was 50, after all, there are only 100 people who have collected it.

Closer to home!
Let’s talk about the title of the book first.

When thinking about the “Lanruo (rě)” in “Lanruo Chansheng”, I believe the first thing that comes to mind is the Lanruo Temple in “A Chinese Ghost Story”. Xiaoqian’s life experience is very pitiful, but she is very beautiful after she transforms, and the ending is quite satisfactory.

According to sources, "Lanruo" is likely derived from Aranya, a Buddhist term. The Sanskrit name Aranya originally means "forest," and is extended to mean "quiet place," "vacant place," or "secluded place." It refers to a place away from the hustle and bustle of the world, where some houses can be used by ascetics for quiet meditation, either alone or in groups. It also generally refers to Buddhist temples.

"Cicada sounds" refer to the chirping of cicadas. Cicadas are insects that make such noises in the summer that they keep people awake. In many places, they are eaten. But starting this year, I hope everyone will refrain from eating these adorable wild creatures.

As can be seen from the title of the book, the author compares himself to hiding in a quiet place and making a lot of noise. Anyway, no one can hear him, so it doesn't feel noisy.

But I heard it.

Let’s talk about the author’s name.

The Leaf-Sweeping Monk. Everyone will also associate it with it.

Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils is Jin Yong's most well-known work. The most powerful character in the novel is the Shaolin Temple's sweeping monk, who, armed with a broken broom, easily subdues Xiao Yuanshan and Murong Bo, two troublemakers behind the scenes.

For a time, the "Sweeping Monk" was hailed as a hidden master.

The author's choice of this name shows his great ambition and aspirations. It has a feeling of looking forward to the soaring dragon in the sky while lurking in the abyss.

Finally, let’s talk about the main text.

Generally speaking, short stories are very short.

Signing a contract for 10,000, putting the product on the shelves for 30,000, and completing it for 50,000 are all normal operations.

This book is very long, with 37 free chapters and 1 paid chapters. This whole operation is completely incomprehensible. Perhaps it has something to do with the weekly updates. If it weren't for investor considerations, weekly updates wouldn't even be possible.

My initial impression after the trial reading is generally good.

It reflects the author's profound historical knowledge, martial arts memory, science foundation, and argumentative nature.

The author has a grand plan for writing, projecting a 10-year series of 6+2 books, encompassing martial arts, science fiction, and fairy tales.

The works, popular science explanations, and poetry sketches are both rich in historical materials and interesting.

Don’t be fooled by the small number of chapters, they are all over 6000 words, which is much better than the average 2000-word party.

The story is also very coherent, not just a short story. The language is very profound, the choice of words and sentences is ingenious, and even a little pedantic.

It includes martial arts inheritance, origins of weapons, scientific inventions, astronomy and geography.

I haven't found any major problems with the plot yet, except that it's a bit slow to get going, and the author is well aware of this.

Overall, this book is extremely well-thought-out and rigorously researched, making it a very demanding read that is beyond the reach of the average reader.

For similar comparisons, you can refer to the new July anime "Hanque".

【to sum up】

Since we have a ten-year agreement, let's open our eyes and take a good look at your success.

Writing is not easy, so cherish every moment!

I’m Cang Yiwei, and I’m here to promote “Cang’s Ramblings”!
【Cang's Ramblings】

The author of this book is my good friend. He often leaves messages in my books and wants to interact with me.

Actually, he wanted to have sex with me!
Can I agree?
I am a low-key, luxurious and cultured person. I usually don’t appear in my own chapters. Even in the book circle, I rarely interact with readers.

That’s right, I am such a cold-blooded and emotionless book promoter.

Unless some amazing fortune falls from the sky and a piece of pie falls from the sky, maybe it will make me burst into tears and say, "hmm."

Is this not?

In recent days, several reader friends have hinted to me several times.

Let me include this book in "Cang's Ramblings".

So, I thought about it for a long time.

After about three minutes, I silently agreed.

Since ancient times, "there is no first in literature and no second in martial arts", "literati look down on each other", "the water is too cold", etc. have stimulated us "cultured people".

I always want to comment on other people's works!
But it seems that I always feel that for the works of great masters, more critical voices can make them alert and not get too arrogant.

For new authors like Level 1 authors, no matter how poorly their books perform or how badly they are written, I will give them more support and praise to make them more confident and keep going.

Because that’s how I comfort myself.

Always tell yourself that the next one will be better.

As a result, it seems that there has not been much improvement, and there is still a long way to go before reaching the great god position.

By the way, when will my book collection exceed ten thousand?
unimportant!
Why don’t I continue to praise “Lanruo Chansheng” sincerely?
Because this guy has recently been recommended at the same time as me. Although it is not a series of recommendations, seeing his daily collection increase still makes people feel a little itchy!
Forget it, since he is still a good person, I won’t make a fuss about it.

Suddenly I remembered a classic line when I was interacting with him yesterday.

He actually implied that I was a teacher from some island country!

I could only say to him, "I quietly ask the holy monk, is my daughter beautiful?"

I hope he takes care of himself, stays on track, and doesn't hang out all the time.
Besides, wouldn’t it be uncomfortable to hold on to perfect attendance?

Yes, I hugged her! It was so comfortable~
Without further ado, let’s end today’s conversation here!
Please give me some collections, subscriptions, rewards, monthly tickets, recommendation tickets, etc. Come on, all of them!
I have broad shoulders and a strong waist, and can bear your weight!
