Muye Liuxing (牧野流星), literally Shooting Stars over the Grasslands, is a wuxia novel by Liang Yusheng. It was first published as a serial between 16 February 1972 and 13 January 1975 in the Hong Kong newspaper New Evening Post. The novel is also known by an alternative title, Zheji Chensha Lu (折戟沉沙錄; "Chronicle of Broken Spears Beneath the Sands").

Set in 19th-century China during the Qing dynasty, the story follows the swordsman Meng Hua as he uncovers his true parentage and becomes entangled in conflicts between martial artists, rebels, and government forces. The novel is noted for its broad geographical scope and for blending adventure with reflection on loyalty, identity, and moral responsibility. The novel is the second instalment in a tetralogy that concludes Liang Yusheng's Tianshan series, continuing from after Youjian Jianghu, and followed by Tanzhi Jinglei and Juesai Chuanfeng Lu.
