I often think, if we were born in martial arts novels and grew up in a world where the law of the jungle prevails, what kind of characters would we eventually grow into? Guo Jing?Linghu Chong?Hu Yidao?Let's not talk about these awe-inspiring names.The reality may be a little helpless. Imagine us diving headlong into the bottom of that world.Since it is impossible to read the original book in advance, we will not know those upgrade strategies with extremely low probability. Burn a chicken in the woods on time to attract Hong Qigong passing by. It is difficult for most of us to enter the top big companies in the Jianghu, such as Shaolin Company, Wudang Company, and Quanzhen Company.In fact, being lucky enough to enter a large regional enterprise like "Qinjiazhai" and learn a skill like "Five Tigers Breaking Doors" is already worthy of the envy of peers.

so what?A gentleman named Bao Budong made a frustrating assertion to the employees of this company: "If you practice for another 30 years, you are not worthy of Mr. Murong to kill him. If you practice for another 120 years, Mr. Murong will not bother." Go chop him four times." What?Want to travel across the world with books and swords, "compete with the heroes of Heshuo" and "kill all enemies and defeat all heroes"?That is the entrepreneurial star Dugu Qiubai.The real situation between you and me is that even if the Fuwei Escort Bureau is rich and powerful, they still have to ask for help everywhere, and even the Qingcheng Company is very happy that they are suddenly willing to accept gifts.

Even if our character explodes and we enter a great company like Shaolin Wudang, does it mean that we can achieve brilliant achievements?The reality is still cruel.The old monk Chengguan, the senior executive of the technical department of Shaolin Company, once explained this road to promotion in detail. "After getting started, learn Shaolin Changquan first, and after you are familiar with it, you can learn Luohanquan, and then learn Fuhuquan. After you have a solid foundation in internal and external skills, you can learn Wei Tuo Zhang... If you are smart and hardworking, you can learn it for seven or eight years. If you have high comprehension, you can learn Scattering Flower Palm..."

If you want to become a senior executive in Shaolin Company, you have to complete the credits of "One Finger Zen", which will take at least 40 to 50 years, and you must be extremely talented and work overtime.According to Mr. Cheng Guan, most people are hopeless. "In my opinion, it is better to recite the Diamond Sutra exclusively," and "it is true for Zen practitioners." What?When you first entered the rivers and lakes, you had to meet a famous teacher?That's just the ears of the "Four Ghosts of the Yellow River"; your fortune is even more extraordinary, is the grand master a top contemporary figure?That's just the ear of the "five ugly people in Tibet"; you have worked hard for half your life, achieved success in martial arts, and finally dominated a state and a county?That's just the ears of the "Seven Monsters of the South of the Yangtze River".

For example, if I am in the Jianghu, I am afraid that heroes, middlemen, and little heroes will not be able to do it. I ask myself whether I am a character like Shou Nanshan, who is greedy for life and afraid of death, and has no limit to life; or I am a character like Situ Qianzhong. Talking nonsense, unable to keep the wind out of his mouth, was crushed in a fit of anger. In terms of relationship, you probably aren't satisfied with being in a human realm with Wanyan?Maybe he is not willing to join hands with Yeluyan to venture into the rivers and lakes?Are you picky that Lu Wushuang is too horizontal, Shui Sheng is a bit dark, and Fu Minyi is a little older?Do you often feel that Linghu Chong is inconsiderate, Lord Wei is playful, and Chen Jialuo is a fool?But I don't know that if you and I are in the rivers and lakes, Wu Xiuwen and Tao Zi'an are probably tall, rich and handsome people look up to, while Hong Lingbo and Bei Jinyi are also unattainable goddesses.

We are fortunate that we are readers, not chivalrous men; we are fortunate that we don't have to go through the rivers and lakes and lick blood with knife heads, but have the volumes of martial arts history written by masters and delivered to you and me.When the brocade around us is warming up and the beast smoke keeps coming, we hold the book high above and poke our fingers: Why don't we get rid of Chen Youliang sooner!Why not get rid of the wind early!How hearty and willful. Included in this book today are the "pointing and poking" articles that I have written successively for more than a year.I know that this is judging heroes with the superficial eyes of ordinary people. For example, I regret that Wang Chongyang and Lin Chaoying can’t fall in love, but perhaps in their eyes, the worldly relationship between lovers is not worth laughing at; another example is sentimentality for Yin Susu Too quickly forgotten by the world, maybe in Ms. Yin's view, mediocre nostalgia is worthless.

Li Shangyin, more than 1,100 years ago, said: "I don't know what it's like to be a rotten mouse, but I guess it's still young." I take it as the title of this book.But having said that, isn't chattering and criticizing heroes the exclusive fun of you and me?
