Features: Many animals possess a strange ability to transform into the appearance of other things. For example, there is a type of butterfly native to Mount Emei in Shu, known as the leafwing butterfly. When it lands on a branch, it turns into a dry leaf. The Dragon Clan is a complex family, with Mr. Lü being the son of the God of Gluttony. Additionally, there are eight others: Taofeng, Pula, Xuan'an, Pahua, Nianliu, Jiaotu, and Qiuniu. Can you guess who they are? The vampire family originated from an ancient, bat-like spiritual entity that mimics its surroundings, but their transformation is incomplete. Like bats, they cannot see sunlight and can only emerge in the dark, living in tombs or pitch-black castles. Because they feed on blood, they are also known as vampires.
This book, written with elegant prose, profound historical and cultural knowledge, and a deep understanding and grasp of traditional culture, depicts a strange story about the "Dragon" in an unspecified era, filled with mystery and slaughter. The story weaves together family and nation, the martial world and the imperial court, and friendship, grand struggles between good and evil, and battles of fate. Layers of calamities and ominous signs loom, with waves of mystery, death, and terror sweeping in. After reading it, one is left in awe and cannot put it down. The entire work is vast and majestic, imbued with a strong Eastern cultural flavor.
The extraordinary woman Su Duqing from the "Painted Pavilion" receives seven rare treasures and solves their mystery, eagerly heading to meet Lü Wuyi, a Chu man. Unbeknownst to her, she falls into a strange calamity. Fortunately, she is rescued halfway by Jiang Fang, a Yan man, and reaches the capital of the northern region. However, all eighteen four-masted ships from Southern Fujian are lost in the frozen sea, and soon, skeletal corpses appear everywhere in the capital. Jiang Fang also inexplicably falls victim to a strange venomous insect, his life hanging by a thread.
When the crisis slightly subsides, Jiang Fang, Yuan Wei Jing, Fang Fuke, and others become targets of the emperor's pursuit and killing. Layers of calamities and ominous signs continue to loom, with waves of mystery, death, and terror sweeping in.
