Moving the Mountain is a classical xianxia novel by the Qidian author Douzi Redehuo, serialized from 2010 and completed in August 2011, with 473 chapters and about 2.2673 million characters. The story takes place in the Dahong Dynasty. The protagonist, Liang Xin, is born into a "sin household"—his ancestors committed crimes, and their descendants are forever sin households, forbidden to eat meat, wear new clothes, or attend school, and required at age fourteen to serve hard labor such as border garrison and quarrying; his father died at such labor. When Liang Xin was eight, the ghost servant Feng Xixi, who had served the Liang ancestor Liang Yi'er three hundred years earlier, came to repay a debt, stealing braised beef and a martial arts manual and teaching him martial arts. At twelve, the court ordered the conscription of sin-household youths to "open the mountain and break the evil," and Liang Xin was taken by soldiers from his mother's side, and his fate turned from there. Thereafter he follows the clues left by his ancestors, step by step probing into the secrets of the "Mountain-Moving Academy" and the world of cultivators. The novel's core premise is sharp: "mountain" means "immortal," and "moving the mountain" is not shifting earth but moving away the immortals who lord it over the mortal world. The author portrays cultivators as parasites who absorb the essence of heaven and earth and regard mortal feelings as burdens, willing to wipe out a whole family to sever a disciple's worldly ties and indifferent to mortal life and death in their own disputes. Yet Liang Xin has cultivation but no Dao heart: he rejoices when his family is blessed, seethes when his friends are wronged, and sniffs the fragrant breeze when a beauty passes. With an ordinary heart, he chooses the mortal world between "immortals" and "humans," and is thus drawn into the truth of the three-hundred-year-old injustice done to the Liang ancestors, walking the path against cultivation together with Feng Xixi, Liu Yi, Hulu, Jiang An, and others. The book's language is witty, its plotting dense, and its foreshadowing neatly resolved; many critics regard it as one of the most underrated xianxia works in web fiction.Editor's review
这是一部把“修仙”反过来写的仙侠小说。别人求飞升,梁辛求人间;别人斩凡情,他偏要留着那颗会为一口卤牛肉、一位老叔、一个朋友而跳动的凡心。豆子惹的祸的文字有一种干净的天真与幽默:主角憨直、配角鲜活、对话利落,读着轻松,掩卷却余味沉厚。 更难得的是它的结构。全书两百余万字,从第一章“牛肉滋味”的一个油纸包,到结局“江山依旧”,几百章前的细小线索被一一拾起、逐一合拢,几乎没有放空的伏笔,这在长篇网文中相当少见。书中的力量体系也别出心裁——“刮骨、掸心、声色、海天、玄机、逍遥、端茶”七重境界,以及“因果”这一抽象概念被写成可剪可改的实体,都让老读者眼前一亮。 它不靠打怪升级撑着,而是借仙凡之争谈平等、谈情义、谈“人定胜天”。喜欢非套路仙侠、看重布局与人物温度的读者,值得为它留出完整的阅读时间。Who it's for
A good fit for
- 喜欢非套路仙侠、厌倦纯打怪升级体系的读者
- 偏爱伏笔绵密、结局能把线索全部收拢的长篇读者
- 欣赏幽默笔调与鲜活群像、能接受慢热开局的读者
- 对“反修仙”“仙凡平等”这类立意感兴趣的书友
Not a good fit for
- 只想看快节奏爽文、开局就要爆发的读者
- 不接受两百万字以上长篇与慢热铺垫的读者
- 期待传统正统修真、飞升成仙路线的读者
Reading tips
- 前二十章围绕“牛肉滋味”“开山破煞”铺陈,节奏偏慢,建议至少读完第一卷再判断。
- 留意文中反复出现的细微物象与承诺,本书的伏笔回收是最大乐趣之一。
- 可先读第一篇弄清“搬山”并非移山而是搬仙,再顺读,代入感会更强。
- 若时间有限,可先看前三十章与结局章对照,感受首尾呼应的结构之美。

FAQ
《搬山》的“搬山”究竟指什么?
书中的“山”实指“仙”。修仙者在作者笔下是吸食天地精华、压迫凡人的寄生者,“搬山”即把凌驾人间的修仙者搬走、清除,让天下人间归还给人。因此本书常被称为“反修仙”小说。《搬山》是实体书还是网络小说?
本书2010年起在起点中文网连载,2011年8月24日完结,共473章、约226.73万字。实体书由鲜鲜文化于2011年2月11日出版,全套共5册,第一册为《搬山1·开山破煞》。没读过豆子惹的祸的其他作品,能直接读这本吗?
可以。《搬山》是独立故事,与《小仙有毒》《升邪》等作品没有必须的前后阅读顺序。不过它的慢热风格与作者其他书一脉相承,先读这一本也不会影响理解。《搬山》的结局是圆满的吗?
结局章题为“江山依旧”,主线悬念与各处伏笔基本都得到交代,主角一行的归宿各安其位。评论普遍认为收束利落,但也有读者觉得部分情感线的展开略显克制。This site is an index: you start “Search all sources” in your browser, and the entries it lists all point to third-party sites; please judge their availability yourself.
About the author
Douzi Re De Huo AuthorDouzi Re De Huo is a recognizably distinctive author in Chinese web literature, though public information about the writer is limited, with no clear records of birth or death dates or nationality. The library holds eleven of the author's works, mainly in the genres of xianxia and wuxia, alternate history, and male-oriented web fiction, often listed under premium fiction and quality web literature categories. Representative titles include Banshan (Moving the Mountain), Shengxie, Xiaoxian Youdu (Peerless Poison), and Huose Shengxiao. Judging from the titles and categories, the writing draws on traditional xianxia and alternate-history frameworks, emphasizing a jianghu atmosphere and narrative tension, and has formed a relatively stable profile within a web-literature circle dominated by male readers. The repeated inclusion of works such as Banshan also suggests a degree of representativeness in this type of fiction.
