「武俠」與「奇幻」的豪快碰撞佛性與魔性並存的祕劍，一斬亂世滄桑，疾走在行俠與成魔的險崖《阿鼻劍》三十年之後傳奇再現漫畫╱小說已售出電影版權和鄭問一起獻給所有讀者陳栢青（作家）焦元溥（作家）――俠情推薦過去三十年，大家不斷在詢問《阿鼻劍》的後續。2017年鄭問過世之後，編劇馬利決定寫小說來繼續這個眾所期待的故事，並且先從《阿鼻劍前傳》說起。2020年《阿鼻劍前傳》〈卷一：封印重啟〉終於問世，2022年6月，〈卷二：風起八千里〉出版。小說版的《阿鼻劍前傳》的故事透過阿鼻第九使者勿離（平川）的旁觀和回憶來敘述。卷二裡共有幾條脈絡。第一個脈絡，勿生重啟阿鼻劍封印，震動四方之後，卻發現自己掌握不了阿鼻劍。他陷入只能為阿鼻劍所用，卻無法用阿鼻劍的困境。他逐漸知道阿鼻劍的由來，也繼續探索自己和這把劍的糾葛。第二個脈絡，是講勿離繼續和勿生歷經險難，出生入死，但也看到勿生難以了解的一面。他難忘嬋兒及小青的愛情糾纏，身陷險境；他一直想找到燕子錢東死前告訴他的寶藏，終於找到線索時，又有很大的掙扎。第三個脈絡，是五代的環境裡，包括十八惡道、唐國的鎮國公、吳越國的寧西王，各方都在互相較量，覬覦阿鼻劍。還有陌刀碎城鄒朗、不動和尚、娘娘、焦二十三等人物登場，各顯本領，和勿生與勿離產生撞擊。【內容介紹】〈卷一〉前情提要五代亂世，南唐的平川父母早亡，從小寄人籬下，在客棧裡跑堂。某一天，他因為救了一名投宿客棧病重的書生，回報是得到了一把劍，學會「三才劍法」，也在十九歲的時候出門遠行。平川啟程後意氣風發，卻在路上被惡名昭彰的十八惡道震懾，又因為被扣上謀殺縣令的罪名送上刑場。幸運地是，遊走江湖的摩訶劍莊大護法勿生救了他。勉強保住一命的平川，走投無路，在山中遇見和父親隱居的嬋兒，愛上了她。他想要終生守護嬋兒，決定去縣城找回他失落的劍，卻差點送命，回到山中又發現嬋兒失蹤。惱恨的平川殺了追蹤而來的敵人，從此走上尋找嬋兒之路。路上平川認識了走唱江湖的小青。小青因相信自家嬤嬤的預言而獻身給平川，卻又因為自己其實是靈月教教主陶夜的禁臠，不得不回到他身邊。從此，平川的心思一直在嬋兒與小青之間游移不定。迷惘之際，平川去尋找一座供奉地藏菩薩的廟宇解憂，卻目睹富貴人家欺壓農民，再動手殺人，並捲入十八惡道與寒冰掌之間的糾紛，還在因緣際會下，服用了千年赤蔘，不只增加了幾十年功力，且意外與勿生重逢。勿生當時已經被逐出摩訶劍莊，並遭
