Description
Introduction · · · · · ·
The novel begins in a small town called Wozhen deep in the Qinling Mountains. It tells the story of Lu Juren, a child bride of the Yang family coffin shop, who brought a three-point rouge Feng Shui treasure land from her natal family. After being given to Jing Zongxiu by her unknowing father-in-law to bury his father, the world of Wozhen was completely changed, triggering a series of fierce and turbulent wars. Many forces such as mountain wanderers, swordsmen, bandits, and guerrillas surged at the same time, and the separatist parties continued to fight. At the same time, the special relationship between the Jing brothers and the deep hatred of the Ruan family group also changed and escalated in specific periods and places. In addition, the author has a detailed description of the plants, birds and animals in the Qinling area, which is long enough to be called a local chronicle of the Qinling Mountains.
