FANTASY CINESE SCRITTO 67 ANNI FA
bello! (anche se i nomi cinesi sono una piaga!!!!!!)
consigliato
TRAMA
Cina e Mongolia intorno al 1200
il Secondo Maestro Taoista dell'ORDINE DELLA COMPLETA PERFEZIONE giura di proteggere i figli di due uomini d'onore discendenti di eroi del regno, per farlo si accorda (più o meno) con i più famosi degli eroi erranti: I SETTE BALORDI DEL SUD
L'accordo, tra le altre cose, prevede che ogni parte in causa trovi uno dei bambini (dispersi dallo stesso attacco che ne ha ucciso i padri) e lo istruisca nelle arti marziali fino al 18mo anno
I Sette eroi cercheranno Guo Jing fino alle steppe della mongolia, nell'accampamento di Gengis Khan, dove con molti sforzi, essendo il bimbo duro di coccio, passeranno anni frustranti a cercare di addestrarlo
il Maestro Taoista invece troverà il suo pupillo Yang Kang alla corte del Sesto Principe dei Jurchen che, dopo averne rapito la madre, lo sta facendo passare per suo figlio, lo addestrerà con risultati ottimi nelle arti marziali ma più che pessimi nei valori che le identificano (Yang Kang è una merdaccia)… (more)
