【Introduction】

The ancestral precepts of Daxu say that you should not go out after dark.

The elderly, weak, and disabled people of Daxu Canlao Village picked up a baby from the riverbank, named him Qin Mu, and raised him with great difficulty. One day, as night fell and darkness enveloped Daxu, Qin Mu walked out of his home...

Be a villain swaying in the spring breeze!
The blind man said to him.

Qin Mu's path to becoming a villain is on the rise!

【Golden Ten Chapters】

Chapter One: Stay Out After Dark. The people of Canlao Village have an ancestral motto: Stay out after dark, for there are creatures in the darkness that will eat you. One day, Granny Si and her companions hear a child crying. They bravely leave the village, retrieve the child from the river, and raise him for eleven years. And the protagonist, Qin Mu, finally realizes that the village has always been far from simple, after seeing the cow that has milked him for four years speak, transform into a woman, and then be killed by the lame grandfather.

Chapter 2: Four Spiritual Bloods. The old men and women of Canlao Village captured four demonic beasts to represent the four spirits, hoping to detect Qin Mu's spiritual body. Sadly, after drinking four cups of spiritual blood, he was unremarkable. Just as the villagers were grieving, the village stood up and declared that Qin Mu possessed a unique Hegemony Body. A mortal body is a Hegemony Body.

Chapter 3: Supernatural Powers. The villagers' goal was simple, yet highly motivated: to constantly nourish Qin Mu's demonic beasts. To prevent his body from exploding and dying, Qin Mu, after a thorough nourishment, trained with the other grandfathers. The butcher grandfather excelled with a knife, the horse grandfather with a fist, and the lame grandfather with a leg. They wanted to train Qin Mu to develop supernatural powers.

Chapter 4, Demonic Creation Technique. Everyone else has taught the protagonist skills, except Granny Si. Qin Mu follows Granny Si out of the village and catches an elk. She personally demonstrates the location and efficacy of the "Three Souls and Seven Spirits," then peels the elk's skin and puts it on the protagonist, transforming him into a deer. At this moment, an enemy approaches.

Chapter 5: The Five Elders of Lijiang. The righteous Five Elders of Lijiang, along with their Five Sons, come to Daxu for training. They encounter Granny Si and Qin Mu, who have killed an elk. The battle begins: the Five Elders against Granny Si, the Five Sons against Qin Mu. However, Qin Mu, still in elk form, hides among the deer, leaving the Five Sons without a target. So, they decide to slaughter the deer.

Chapter 6: Little One, Die. Qin Mu was hunted all the way, and it seemed he had no way to escape. The deerskin was cut with a sword by one of the Five Sons' senior sisters, and Qin Mu burst out of it, transformed into a human. Remembering his training with weights, he freed himself from the constraints of the iron ingots and other objects, and rushed into the demon ape's territory. The Five Sons' eldest brother was whipped away, and Qin Mu feigned death at the demon ape's feet.

Chapter 7, The Spiritual Embryo Wall. Qin Mu escapes the demon ape's territory, darting all the way. In his desperation, he touches the Spiritual Embryo Wall and nearly breaks through it. This leaves the pursuing Lijiang Five helpless. The protagonist is cheating. As darkness approaches, the village grows ever more distant.

Chapter 8: Granny Si's Skin. The five elders of Lijiang attack together, and Granny Si's strength explodes, defeating the enemy in one fell swoop. However, the leader of the five elders fires a sword, injuring her skin. She is actually the husband of the leader of the Heavenly Demon Cult! At this time, the lame man also arrives, and the two of them expose some negative information about each other. Qin Mu does not seem to have returned to the Canlao Village.

Chapter 9: Pink Skeletons. Qin Mu grabbed a beast by the tail and rushed into the ruins. Only three of the Lijiang Five successfully hid inside. They found the beasts within the ruins were quite peaceful, while a large number of pink skeletons were found in the square. The skeletons held treasures, which the five were very tempted by.

Chapter 10: Darkness Invades. Darkness invades, crashing against the gate of the ruins, forming a giant human face with three eyes. Within the ruins, the rosy skulls collectively glow and choreograph, their demonic and divine voices attacking each other. Qin Mu senses a method to break through the wall, but is he truly born a demon?
【Brief Comment】

About the Author

Zhaizhu, a platinum writer, has written eight works, including "Walking on the Abyss", "The Shepherd God's Record", "The Supreme Humanity", "The Emperor", "Unrivaled in the World", "The Savage Throne", "The Immortal Journey to the Water Margin", and "Rebirth of Journey to the West".

His books are mainly categorized into Xianxia and fantasy. These two categories have always been the preserve of great writers, are relatively safe categories, and are the categories that many readers fall into.

"If you don't cultivate immortality, your youth will be in vain!"

In my impression, "The Shepherd's Notes" seems to be the first of the five five-star masterpieces to successfully upgrade.

summary of the story
This book is very famous and won the monthly ticket championship in April and September 2018, competing fiercely with "The King Spares Me".

The story mainly revolves around Qin Mu from Canlao Village. The opening layout is very similar to Gu Long's "The Twins of the Red Lotus", with the Valley of Evil and Xiao Yuer, where a group of big demons are lurking.

As for Qin Mu's Tyrant Body, it was simply a trick used by the village chief to fool Qin Mu and the others. However, if one consumes enough natural treasures, even an ordinary body can become a Tyrant Body.

Character characteristics
I'm quite curious about Qin Mu's identity, but I don't have much time to read the rest of the story, nor do I want to Baidu.

Maintaining a sense of mystery keeps me looking forward to the book. However, under the guidance of the elders of Canlao Village, Qin Mu isn't particularly foolish. He even retains a pure sense of good and evil. Compared to those who claim to be from a prestigious and upright family, his origins won't resonate with readers.

Style characteristics
Zhaizhu's books, from "The Supreme Humanity" to "Walking on the Abyss", have been laying out the plot in the early stages. He likes to throw a group of ruthless people together, or let the protagonist live alone in a ghost town, to create a strong suspense and conflict, which can immediately catch the reader's attention.

In fact, the beginning of "Sword Coming" is also the same.

The style of Zhaizhu is very mature and steady.

In my opinion, "Lin Yuan Xing" should be the most high-quality serialized work in the current fantasy category.

【to sum up】

Writing is not easy, so cherish every moment!

I’m Cang Yiwei, and I’m here to promote “Cang’s Ramblings”!
Welcome to the paradise of book reviews.

【Cang's Ramblings】

First of all, I would like to thank the 2014 book friend for the reward of 2800 Qidian coins and Mr. Yu Wen for the reward of 100 Qidian coins.

(I promised to put your names in the VIP list, and I did it.)
Today's two articles are the turning point.

The book list comes from the book club.

Now that the event has been held, no matter how much you want to be a quiet, handsome and hands-off boss, you still have to do the next job.

What's more, these books are recommended by our lovely readers with great effort.

So, I can only talk about some superficial opinions based on my own trial reading experience.

If my thoughts don't let go, it's because I can't afford to offend you all.

Alas, it is so difficult for me!

Regarding Zhaizhu, I haven't read many of his books.

Because, after reading "Mortal", I basically don't touch fantasy works anymore.

The fantasy categories that were promoted in the past were only promoted on self-media, and few people paid attention to them after they were put on the shelves.

Now, I am very interested in those particularly unique and imaginative articles.

Someone left me a message yesterday expressing the same opinion as I did.

Imagination-driven writing is prone to collapse; the faster you write, the faster it collapses.

Fantasy writing has a lot of foreshadowing, a large layout, a slow pace, many words, and a lack of innovation.

How to choose between the two is a big problem.

I haven’t figured out the answer yet, because I’m just a small loser.
