any spoilers from this novel? what really happened to Gu Mang in Liao country? Will this have a happy ending? Thanks
Is the MC Gu Mang? Is he the gong? I saw that there are only 21 chapters translated... also wondering if there is a shared MTL folder like for 2ha
Theres another translation apart from the one displayed here in NUF if anyone is interested. https://twitter.com/peelesscucumber/status/1191025194460008448?s=20 Updates every 3 days or so
Hello. I have questions regarding the 2ha references in Yu Wu, mainly for chapter 26. In the author's note, Tianyin Ge was mentioned and is someone involved with the truth potion. I don't remember any Tianyin person in 2ha, may someone kindly please enlighten me as to who this person is? The Water Parting Sword Technique was also mentioned in the author's note. I'm not sure if it's related to 2ha though. Does anyone know the origin of this sword technique? Sorry for the weird sentence structure, it's currently 4:27 in the morning.
ok.. i am pretty sure that ML's childhood interest in illusion is going to come into play as one of the basics of the plot.. His ephemera is also questionable. As gumang says, one who wants to win will not ruin his body.. and that ring he gave to gumang ( The fact is.. when one of the elders wanted to abuse gumang in one of the parties, he threw his pipe at them.. he has always been protecting gumang.. probably sees him as his best friend, until moxi came or something happened) ******************************************* beside ch 106, are there any other smut chapters? (somehow 106 was not .. i don't know.. its like novel is good and all but m having trouble visualizing these characters.. it tugs your heart but is still very unclear..unlike 2ha.. which just punches you and you feel and see everyline of the book)
somehow.. not like 2ha.. something is off.. don't know if it is a translation thing... the agony is all there, but the images still blurry.. you feel it yet detached also, it could be that this whole ephemera / drug charade is for the king.. If ML were to be a competent option, king would have got him killed AND that old man sitting at the border that gumang and moxi used to see.. and who keeps saying he used to be rich.. the only other character who has a thing for money is that medical doctor isn't it? Also, curious what is the real story of his wife and her face And the white man who made that sword spirit - is that guy the original traitor/ liao kingdom founder? Pretty sure if that "wise" guy/ bat girl's crush is an immortal then the man who stabbed him/founder of liao kingdom is one too. And maybe we have another gay story there. We anyway know from bat girl's memory that at some point, our wise guy fell in love Story until now ch 135, Characters: Gumang - shou Moxi - gong, primary perspective Murong Lian - GM is of slave cader (but don't know who his parents are) and was lian's slave all his life until he became a general in the army YX - sub general in Moxi's team. Comes from another reputed family who make spirit swords and all JX - inventor sorts person, crippled, wife dead, separated from family. MX's relaible acquantance (this writer's ML have a bad people skills) Murong C - best inventor ever. Also given title of ignorance. Too cold and too aloof YX, JX, Murong C - MC is uncle ot YX and JX. MC was adopted by a family. Their daughter married YX and JX's father. Father is a philanderer so MC does not like him because his "sis" had a difficult life. She died giving birth to YX. While YX revers MC, MC hardly acknowledges him. JX has a diff. mother and MC hates him (until ch135- this relationship is still ambiguous) Jian Fulli - doctor, has a wife who is considered the most b'ful woman (no ne has seen her face though) Bigger theme is around slaves and their status in society and GM's lifelong dream was fighting this Moxi gets the news that Gumang (traitor of this country C) is being returned by country L (enemy since forever, and the country GM defected too and thus traitor) as a token of mending relationships. King is asking for all nobles and officials to come to palace to decide the punishment. We get some flashback from moshi of what GM means to him and he decides not to go. 2 years pass. M returns to the country to find that GM wasnot sentenced to prison but put in Murong Lian's prostitution business. He also heard GM is weird now.. addled and he has 2 of the 3 souls - remembers nothing, is wolfish .. came in a cart with wolf cubs and they did not attack him...very weak and king wants to keep him alive to experiment black magic and find about ways of liao kingdom (country L .. and known for black magic) ( world thinks MX hates GM. World thinks 2 people who hate gumag the most are MX and Murong Lian. MX was friends with GM when both were in army, but when GM deflected he also pierced MX's heart with a blade and MX was saved with difficulty by princess mengze by giving up her core to MX.. so the world acknowledges mengze as MX wife.. even though MX and Mengze both know that MX does not love mengze and mengze understands this) Pining starts. Moxi badly wants to know everything about Gumang , meet him but he can't and neither can he ask around, disguises to meet gumang at late night. But, gumang doesn't recognize him (this is when the truth of his 2 souls missing etc.. comes out when MX manages to ask / get info from his own househelp) .. more pining.. and stalking - when he met GM first time, he sees a small satchet with GM which GM is attached to... and MX is jealous beyond anything - he goes to a tea stall outside of the prostitution house from where he can see GM everyday leaning on a bridge with water below. One day GM doesn't appear and MX is totally rattled... going into the house in broad daylight (this is huge because until now novel is building on how he would never go to these places and the whole thing around his reputation).. MX finds that GM is not being given food and is locked so he gets pastries feeds him and only then for the first time notices that his black eyes are now snow wolf like blue eyes. he is changed! Some party happens, Murong Lian hates Moxi .. brings Gumang for his guests to be entertained.. abuses him and MX cna't take it ( Murong Lian is one of the most interesting characters.. what he says and does has just too many layers) ... Murong Lian is trying to test MX in all ways to bring out that MX actually likes Gumang.. and in one of this encounters, ML gives GM an option that either GM cuts MX hand or ML will slash GM's face.. and GM takes up option 2 stunning MX. So, now both ML and MX have this doubt if GM is faking although doctors say his core is destroyed and his body is tempered with black magic + he has lost 2/3 souls. End of the party, someone tries to hit GM and his body automatically creates this sword of arrays coming from a lotus sigil that hurts. And MX is informed for the 1st time that no one has been able to bed GM fro this reason. If anyone tries anything, this sigil gets activated ( this sigil is something MX drew from his blood on him as a protection when they were young.. and GM drew the same on MX) More pining and confusions. Finally one day GM goes berserk and case goes to king's court. MX and ML fight like children in front of all over who will have custody of GM. In parallel, another prostitution house is massacred. King tells them whoever solves the case can have gumang. one day ML gets frustrated. Goes and hits GM brutually to spill the truth about the massacre. Someone inform MX and he runs (this novel is such a cheesy movie for major parts.. wth all saving the beauty tropes).. MX and a soft scene with unconscious bleeding GM.. when MX leaves, prison guards are surprised to find that bleeding GM is not so bleeding now, wrapped up in the softest fur coat and sleeping soundly + healing well.. its is a funny scene because when MX came out his clothes had all blood and prison guards were scared for GM.. back to back torture from ML and MX.. anyway so at ths point MX puts tracker on GM.. so it is GPS + some trackign of his health that MX can feel in the ring he is wearing.. so it will get hot if someone tries to hurt GM and MX cna immediately fly to place of torture as ring also gives directions to current location (PINIGN IS GOOD IN THIS NOVEL) So, on one of the days he realizes GM body is moving. Follows him to land in some illusion.. smut.. being created by the man who massacred the other prostitution house. Murong Lian and YX also arrive.. the four try to fight off this man.. they enter a cave and realize it is the ominous 13 bride cave who kill everyone. There is fight sequence and mirroring of sex scenes in terms of actions (but they are actually trying to fight off the evil sword) Evil sword story: This other story is about some famous hero (before this, his flashback is already given. Mx met him once when he was young and trapped. this guy had come and saved him). This famous hero was a poor guy, met a girl on one of the journeys. She started living with him. One day fell ill, and he did not have money. Saw an advertisement that they were looking for a certain type of girl. hero sells his companion to them in the hope that she would get treatment but isntead she is a sacrifice. So 13 or 7 brides are to be sacrificed on some hill. When this story comes out,hero goes to the hill to release those ghost brides hoping his love is not one of them. This hero is a hero because he knows some sowrd technique "parting of the river" or whatever (it is in 2ha also) .. anyway fights, gets the ghosts, releases them bringing them peace and the last ghost is indeed his love.. he goes crazy.. goes to find the man he sold her to.. this man is some laoshi (pretty, elegant, pwoerful).. that man tells him some story of his lover cheating him hence he is taking revenge on all women who look like original girl.. hero is angry at this original girl.. converts himself into a sword spirit.. and this hero is the one who also came from country L.. at some point taking over the body of cook at Murong Lian's prostitution house and massacared the other prostition house(cook is also the guy who activated GM sigil at some point, got hurt, was bandaged and kept separate.. happened some 2 months agao so no one noticed what was happening iwth the cook).. Hero finds out the original lady is wife of the medical doctor of cuntry C - richest man and his house is difficult to invade, even king can't. more rampage..finally the lady comes out.. no - one else sees but th elady shows her face to the hero and this is happening publically.. and hero is shocked, shattered saying he misunderstood everything.. and then goes away.. everyone is confused Anyway so MX solved the case and GM is given to him. ZThey start living together. So many cute scenes..and MX is paranoid, cna't leave GM alone for anything.. all the time on him..if he is going out, GM has to disguise as house help and follow - Whenever MX eats, there is always a chair next to him and 2 sets of food served. Everyone thinks he does thsi for Mengze because they are to be married and she is unwell , traveling outside country at present... the day GM enters household, he just goes and sits on that seat.. everyone is scared of it.. but MX is cool as cucumber - MX is in heat most of the times and on top of that GM is so inncoent with no memories. .. all he knows he needs to work to get food.. so keeps offering himself to MX (who is his "LORD" now ) - another cute thing is GM in past used to call MX "princess"/ my princess.. etc. and gumang of now keeps hearing about princess (mostly for mengze) is the highest honor.. and he wants to give highest honor to MX because he gives him good food.. so he starts calling MX princess.. imagine what that did to MX's heart .. lol - overall MX still suspects GM is faking it - MX also starts teaching GM because ha ha.. MX can't sleep at night without having these conflicting cum pervy emotions.. so he doesn't want GM to sleep either.. hence study (and you know spend more time together.. again all classic tropes of teaching him to write by leaning on him and holding his pen hand) All flashback and relationship and smut One day MX is in a bad temper and GM wants to cook soemting for him so goes to catch fish. Comes across Murong Chuyi. he is unwell and asks GM to go to doctor's house and get some medicine. GM is a client already because MX has been taking him to the doctor's place. Another side story is about an 8 yr old girl of a reputed firm attending the cultivator acadmey.. but there are days when she gets all crazy.. whiel she came from noble family her behavior is causing concern and problem for family. Gumang met this girl on one of his visits and these two strike a b'ful lovely innocent friendship. One day YX goes missing. Dad asks king to dispatch a group. MX, GM, MC, JX is the group that goes. MC is informed that YX is so in revence of MC that he knew about MC not being well and went in search of medicine that can cure any disease. There are stories about one such island - bat island. They go there. 1) They encounter an old creature and in that fight MX and GM are pulled into a mirror.. which takes them back to the a few days before GM's deflection.. this is a stored memory.. so MX gets some insights that GM's deflection was planned and he was plannign this with someone/mystery man 2) bat queen takes men as prisoners, make them look and behave like someone she loves and kills them with too much sex .. anyway.. so chapter 106 smut between our leads.. Bat girl story.. net net She loves an immortal who is later revealed as "wisdom" gem of country C. After that man died, no other wisdom was conferred up to date. Story is..previous king wanted upliftment of slaves and allowed them to study at cultivator academy. This wisdom guy is a noble and there was a slave there too. These two were friends. as they grew, slave betrayed.. killed wisdom and deflected to setup Liao kingdom (arch enemies in present time). So, after that slaves were pushed back to original status. MX and GM are surprised to find that wisdom was/is an immortal. Anyway, bat girl liked him , he rejected her. She left him with some red thread.. so if he ever falls in love she will know.. and one day thread becomes hot idicating wisdom did love/ does love someone. Anyway.. after all the smut.. and the fact that ecause of mirrror travel, all of GM's memories are back for sometime. They go back home. Now MX is obsessed with finding who the mystery man is but GM won't tell him. So there are 3 artifacts that can help - 1) the door of space and time (2Ha) that allows time travel and change things 2) Mirror that allows you to live memories but you can't change anything in real life .. this mirror they travelled into had some shards of that powerful mirror pieces 3) scrolls in king's library that are like harry potter's pensieve thing MX takes help from JX and enters one of the scrolls. This would damage his core. He finds that all of this was planned between GuMang and the King. King wants to get rid of all old nobels in kingdom and uplift slave status. Convinces GM to go to liao in return of proper graves for his 70000 soldiers who died on the burial ground of nobels. MX is totally heartbroken. While he is in the scroll, GM is taken away by black magic dept of Country C and is being tortured. MOST AMAZING SCENE of Murong Lian trying to save GM here and put a stop to it.. and he is furious that MX is missing and can't be found anywhere.. so Murong Lian also leaves a similar ring on GM to make sure his alive status is always reachable. MX comes back.. rescues GM. Gives the king an earful and tell shim he knows the truth. GM is home. All servants are surprised because everyone can feel the change in MX's behavior. He is super super careful with GM.. so servants are smart to follow their lord's priority order of what matters (and basically be nice to GM .. they were always nice before too..but now he is held in highest regard) - there is a funny bit.. when black magic guys were trying to take away GM and ML was not able to stop, the househelp head wanted to call princess mengze .. if lord comes and finds that concubine was made to leave house in his absence he will be in rage and no one can escape the wrath EXCEPT for the WIFE.. because wife has all the right to do anything to concubine.. AND HENCE princess mengzze must be involved if Gumang is going to be taken away anyway chapter 132, mx inform GM he knows about king's promise.. they finally confess to each other that they love. Ch 134 onwards.. we are getting into Murong Lian's childhood. GM goes to ML to return him his ring, This relationship is definitely more than what meets the eyes... GM is never angry at ML.. and right now he is reminiscing ML's childhood and that he understands him.. btw we also know that ML's passion ad dream was to become and illusionist and GM is confused as to why would ML be into drugs .. to him it doesn't fit as he knows ML's since they were 4 yr olds.. ( this is interesting because from the very beginning ML is this spoilt rich brat always inhaling drugs and sassy and cranky he can get... but the only person who is doubting this all is GM.. and that's when audience also starts doubting him_
