After hurriedly finishing his lunch, Zhang Guangnian began to review the novel "Zhu Xian".
I originally reviewed the manuscript with the intention of being critical, but once I started reading, I couldn't stop and was immersed in it.
The world of immortals and heroes was like a series of delicate paintings, slowly unfolding before his eyes.
Zhang Guangnian originally thought that his understanding of Xianxia was nothing more than the old-fashioned plots of flying, hiding in the ground, and slaying demons and monsters, but "Zhu Xian" gave him a great surprise.
The vast world of cultivating immortals integrates elements of traditional Chinese culture. Various rare magic weapons, magnificent spells, unheard-of cultivation techniques, and the intricate relationships between characters all make him dazzled and yearn for it.
Zhang Guangnian particularly appreciated the setting of the immortal cultivation techniques.
Each martial art has its own unique origins, training methods, and power, and is closely tied to traditional Chinese culture. For example, the Qingyun Sect's Tai Chi Xuanqing Dao incorporates the Taoist theories of Yin and Yang and the Five Elements; the Ghost King Sect's Blood-Sucking Pearl hints at the treacherous and ruthless nature of the demonic sect. These techniques not only enrich the story but also allow readers to appreciate the charm of traditional Chinese culture.
In addition, the magic weapons and spells in the novel are also what Zhang Guangnian talks about with great relish. There are many kinds of magic weapons, from flying swords, magic weapons to spirit beasts and talismans, each with its own unique functions and uses.
The spells are even more varied, ranging from powerful offensive spells to mysterious auxiliary spells. These magic weapons and spells not only make the battle scenes in the story more exciting, but also make readers feel as if they are in a fantasy world of immortal cultivation while reading.
This took the whole afternoon.
Although Zhang Guangnian only glanced through the novel of one million words in an afternoon, it was enough to make him deeply immersed in it and unable to extricate himself.
Zhang Xiaofan's emotional entanglement with Bi Yao and Lu Xueqi.
Zhang Xiaofan and Bi Yao met in the Bleeding Cave. Bi Yao blocked the Zhuxian Sword Formation for him, causing him to betray Qingyun and join the Demon Sect. When the Beast God attacked Qingyun, Zhang Xiaofan experienced illusions in the Huanyue Cave, broke through his inner demons, became the new owner of the Zhuxian Sword, and learned the fifth volume of the Heavenly Book.
And Bi Yao's death deeply touched Zhang Guangnian's heart.
Biyao’s death is undoubtedly the most tragic scene in the entire novel.
After reading this novel, Zhang Guangnian was filled with emotion.
This novel has indeed opened up a new genre of novels.
After it was published, he didn't know whether readers liked it, but he himself was deeply touched.
Zhang Guangnian knew that it was risky to publish new genre novels in magazines.
It breaks traditional literature and challenges readers' reading habits, but it is precisely because of this that it is so unique and precious.
He seemed to see a new literary trend quietly emerging, and this novel was the leader of this trend.
"Xiao Cui, you will proofread, typeset, and review the first 50,000 words of the novel 'Zhu Xian'.
This novel will be published next month and will be the first one.
It starts with an epic masterpiece, Xiaoxiang Qingkong, which opens up a new genre of novels - Xianxia.
Immortals are extraordinary and detached from the mundane world. They travel above the nine heavens, wearing clouds and mist as their garments and accompanied by stars.
A knight-errant has a clear conscience, upholds justice, and regards the world as his home. Zhang Guangnian made his decision immediately and assigned Cui Liang a series of tight and orderly tasks, emphasizing his importance and expectations for the novel "Zhu Xian."
"Okay, I understand." Cui Liang is now also looking forward to whether "Zhu Xian" will cause a huge response after it is published in the magazine.

It was soon the end of September. After Yucai High School had a four-day holiday at the end of the month, Zhang Qiurui, Zhang Mingqi, Wang Shi and Zhou Tan took a bus back to Sha County.
Along the way, the scenery outside the car window was like a flowing painting, and the mood of the four people became relaxed and happy.
The four of them were talking and laughing, very happy.
Firstly, the college entrance examination has been resumed, so they can take the college entrance examination in the future. In addition, the four of them have good grades, so there is still a great hope of being admitted to college.
Secondly, it was the first time for them to leave home and their families for such a long time, eating and living outside. They felt like they had grown up and thought it was a great feeling.
We talked and laughed along the way, and the car soon arrived in Sha County, and then everyone went back home.
"You two are back. I calculated the time for you to come back. It's just time for dinner." Zhou Guihua, who was cooking in the front yard, heard the voices. She stuck her head out of the kitchen and took a look. When she saw that it was her little daughter and eldest granddaughter who came back, her wrinkled face smiled like a chrysanthemum.
A few days ago, she heard the team members say that the college entrance examination had been resumed and they could take the college entrance examination in the future. She immediately reacted and realized that her younger daughter and older granddaughter had good grades, so it would definitely not be a problem for them to take the college entrance examination in the future.
The Zhang family was about to have two college students. After not seeing her younger daughter and older granddaughter for almost a month, she and her old man, for the first time ever, did not work in the brigade to earn work points, but came to the county.
"Mom, you and my dad are both here. Have you thought it through now? Don't you want to work so hard in the brigade to earn work points?" Zhang Qiurui also saw Zhang Ercheng sitting in the main room. She went to the kitchen to get water to wash her hands and joked.
She had made a lot of money by writing novels earlier, so she told Zhou Guihua and Zhang Ercheng not to work so hard in the production brigade and to rest when they needed to. Even if they didn't work, she was able to support them.
However, they have worked hard all their lives and they really can't adapt to taking a break all of a sudden. Zhang Qiurui did not force them to change their current lifestyle.
"There's always work to do. It's been ages since I last saw you, and your dad and I miss you."
"Bring the dishes out, we're done cooking." After finally frying some stir-fried mushrooms and meat, Zhou Guihua called Zhang Qiurui and Zhang Mingqi to bring the dishes to the main hall for dinner.
When Zhang Qiurui brought the dishes, she found that there were stir-fried pork slices, scrambled eggs, braised fish, and snail meat. She ate them with plain rice. It seemed that Zhou Guihua knew that she and Mingqi were coming back today, so she specially prepared so many delicious dishes.
Zhang Qiurui felt a little warm in his heart. The saying "home is where the mother is" is really true.
"Dinner is ready."
"Aunt, sister, you're back."
"Aunt, did you bring us anything to eat?"
As soon as Zhou Guihua announced that dinner was ready, everyone who heard it in the backyard or in the room rushed into the main room.
The little ones were even more excited, their eyes sparkling with anticipation for the delicious food. They jumped around the table, scrambling to get a seat first.
"The whole family is here today." Zhang Qiurui looked at his family in the main room, his heart filled with warmth and satisfaction.
