The new novel "Xiao Xiong" should be more mature than "Xuanyuan Phantom World", and still adheres to the writing technique of looking at things with people. Readers who like "Xuanyuan Phantom World Record" should like "Xiaoxiong", the first paragraph of the excerpt, please enjoy.

I have seen that the Jinling Yushu warbler is dawning, and the flowers of Qinhuai Water Pavilion are blooming early;

Seeing him raise the Zhu Tower, seeing him feasting guests, seeing his building collapse.

This moss and green tile pile, I have slept in the wind and flow, and I have seen the rise and fall of fifty years.

That Wuyi Lane, not surnamed Wang;

Mochou Lake, ghosts cry at night;

Phoenix Terrace, perched owl bird!

The dream of the remnant mountain is the truest, and it is difficult to lose the old realm.

I don't believe in this map for a draft, and I chanted a set of "mourning Jiangnan", and sang sadly until I was old. (Note 1)

In the third year of the Later Tang Dynasty (Note 2), on the 26th day of the 11th month of the leap month, the cold north wind swept across the Central Plains, and the city of Luoyang was full of flames, and 50,000 Khitan iron horsemen surrounded the Hedong Jiedu to make Shi Jingjiao (Note 3) cross the thick city wall of the thousand-year-old ancient capital, howling and rushing into the city of Luoyang.

Blood slowly flowed out from under the corpses of the Tang Dynasty soldiers and people, like streams, accumulating in the potholes, mixed with the falling ashes, frozen into a large area of scale-like weird red ice, in the blazing firelight, emitting a bewitching cold light.

The screams of women, the cries of children, and the cursing of the dead filled the air in the streets and alleys of Luoyang City, and the embers that filled the sky were more like a mass of dead air that gathered countless resentful souls, which was suffocating.

"Boom", the former majestic Xuanwu Tower finally could not withstand the licking of the fire snake, collapsed, and raised a large cloud of dust like mushrooms, covering the sky and the earth, burying the last emperor of the Later Tang Dynasty, Li Congke (Note 4), and also burying the mad and sharp laughter of the last emperor, and like a huge ghost, soaring into the sky and wandering over the ancient capital.

On the high platform next to the Xuanwu Tower, a military general held a heavy knife handle, and his scarlet cloak was blown by the north wind.

Looking at the ruins of the Xuanwu Tower, looking at the fireworks in the red sky, the general's face was cloudy and changeable, and it was bright and extinguished under the light of the raging fire, and a little cold light shrank and shrank in the deep eyes.

Shaking off the ashes piled up on the armor, the general's heart was lonely, the faint trace of remorse, the kind of guilt and humiliation that was like a shadow was always difficult to break free, and the heavy armor was like a shackle, locking him breathlessly.

The general pulled out his sword sharply, slashed into the smoke-filled sky, and shouted loudly:

"Lao Tzu won, how can there be anything right or wrong? How to write the green history, it's not up to me Shi Jingjiao to decide?"

Note 1: Taken from Kong Shangren's "Peach Blossom Fan" "Mourning Jiangnan".

Note 2: Three years after the Tang Dynasty, that is, in 936 AD.

Note 3: Shi Jingjiao, the founding emperor of the Later Jin Dynasty and the son-in-law of Li Siyuan of the Later Tang Dynasty, defeated the late Tang Emperor Li Congke with the help of Khitan soldiers, and later declared himself a vassal to the Khitan, accepted the canonization of the Khitan, and ceded the sixteen states of Yanyun to the Khitan, recognizing the younger Khitan Emperor Yelu Deguang as his father. (The words traitor and father seem to have been tailor-made for him, and they did not wronged him at all.) ）

Note 4: Li Congke, the late Tang Emperor, the adopted son of Emperor Li Siyuan of Tang Mingzong, Fengxiang mutinied and seized the throne from Li Conghou, the son of Li Siyuan.
