The Return of Yan Zhenjing

This story really takes some time to understand it and makes you reread it a few time until you get the understanding of it. Basically, This guy is a old fashioned and is a warrior that is asked to go off to battle. He leaves his family behind and faces some weird dragon type of person when he gets to the battle grounds. He see the ashes and burned bones of his fallen comrades and just goes nuts. The way how this war story compares to the western side of war is somewhat similar but has a few differences. For example, The way how westerners tell war stories is mainly about someone from a small town that want to fight the good fight and can come home to a wife and kids and live out his days as a veteran. On the other side of the world they actually tell a more deep and vivid story that actually isn't common. It has a lot more explicit detail in the Japanese stories like how this one has a guy killing a man for the better for the world. Zhenjing was a Supreme Judge for the  Six August Tribunals and had many followers. Then this person named Xilie sounds like a nightmare to be around because it says he's pure evil in this short story. Usually in the western parts you can always tell who's going to be the evil one that you can not trust from the beginning. In this story you really have to look and pay attention to the story or you will not understand how the nice guy turned out to be the main villain. Therefore, The way how he was reading a letter out loud and not a lot of people were being respectful when he was delivering it. I really didn't understand the Master of Heaven thing because I didn't comprehend if he was a physical or spiritual object that gave life or something. The story was actually a interesting read that made me pay attention. The gothic parts were not really there in my opinion.
