The author used delicate strokes to describe a world full of lofty sentiments. The protagonist of the story, a young man, carried a long knife on his shoulder and hung wine on his waist.

It was a rare enjoyment for both martial arts lovers and chivalrous readers. 2."Spirit Realm Traveler": The style of the newspaper seller is very obvious. After all, you can learn a lot of idioms from books. After reading his book, I can no longer look directly at the traditional culture of my country. Other than updating it a little, it's a little bit sloppy, and there are a lot of typos, there's nothing wrong with it. 3."The Tang's Table":"The Tang's Table" is an unforgettable novel.

All in all, The Tang's Table is a novel worth reading, and I strongly recommend it to everyone. 4. King of Familiars: Er Quan's new book. It should still be a relaxed and happy beast-taming novel. Everyone, come to the chapter section to play. It's a very harmonious and happy chapter section. 5."Fairy, Please Listen to My Explanation": The fake villain is waiting to be slapped in the face, but the real villain is carried around by a big block of ice as soon as he comes up. Goldfinger? Only fake villains relied on their golden fingers to make a fortune. Real villains dared to face their bleak lives! "The heavens didn't give birth to me, Xu Changtian. The villain's eternal life is like a long night." National Forensics: Status: Upgraded [Short comment: Doctor Ling Ran's opening was so amazing, and this book is the same.] The short stories combined with the forensic setting were quite good. Although many skills were no longer related to forensic science, it was quite interesting to read. In addition, it seemed that the book had completely abandoned the emotional line.

The genre of this book was very similar to the Atlas of Heaven and Man, but the setting was science fiction, and the social setting and style were more relaxed. The combat strength setting was a combination of three types of martial arts Prosthetics. "I have a lot of bonus points for martial arts books.
