The clouds of sorrow rose on the broken gold pavilion, and the murderous atmosphere was born in front of the Juyi Hall. Not to mention that the thirty-six Tiangang and seventy-two earth demons on Shuibo Liang Mountain are all miraculous, but there are indeed many ruthless people among them.
Needless to say, fierce men such as "Walker" Wu Song and "Flower Monk" Lu Zhishen have long been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, after all, the author has spent the most pen and ink on them, and their brilliance is a matter of course, but in a total of only one hundred and twenty stories, Wu Song and Lu Zhishen each occupy ten times, which means that some heroes can not get enough scenes to show their strength.

For example, the one to be mentioned in this article, he has a divine skill and a god costume, but he ended up miserable because he wasted his talent in Liangshan.
First, the top masters
If you haven't read the original book, you will definitely think that Wu Song and Lu Zhishen are the strongest people on Liangshan.
It is undeniable that the Erlongshan brothers are indeed powerful, including Yang Zhi, they can be regarded as dragons and phoenixes among people, especially the third brother Wu Song among the three, his performance in fighting tigers in Jingyanggang is enough to prove his bravery, but the later story is not a duel between green forests and grasses, in terms of real "strength" on the battlefield, Wu Song is far inferior to those horse army leaders.
For example, the five tiger generals and Lu Junyi are naturally far more powerful than Wu Song, although they may not be able to suppress Wu Song alone, but in terms of their role on the battlefield, Wu Song is far inferior to them, Wu Song is at most a "super soldier" general existence, and those leaders can lead the whole army and play miraculous results.
And the "Golden Gunner" Xu Ning is one of the best, although he is not one of the five tiger generals, but when dealing with some special enemies, he can play a miraculous effect, because he has an excellent hook and sickle gun skills.
Regarding Xu Ning's strength, when he first appeared, there was such a description in the book: "Xu Ning's golden spear and hook and sickle spear skills are unique in the world......"
In terms of marksmanship, Liang Shan is afraid that no one is on the right side of Xu Ning, and in addition to his outstanding marksmanship, Xu Ning also has a set of protective "magic weapons", that is, his treasure armor.

You read the description of the original book: "Xu Ning's ancestors left a treasure, which is not right in the world, but it is the treasure of the town." When Tang Longbi went to Tokyo with his ancestor Zhizhai to visit his aunt, he saw it a lot, and it was a pair of golden armor built by a wild goose. This pair of armor, draped on the body, is light and steady, and the sword and arrow are impenetrable, and everyone calls it Sai Tangyi. ”
The so-called "Tang Yi" is "Tang Yi". The beast of ancient legend has a thick skin and can be used to make armor. Later, because it was called good armor, this kind of fierce beast was mentioned in "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", and Lu Bu wore it, that is, a Tang Yi armor.
Although Xu Ning may not have the courage of Lu Bu, with his outstanding hook and sickle spear and the unsolvable Tang Yijia, I am afraid it will be difficult to meet an opponent.
However, this is not the case.
Second, the hero who was forced to fall into the grass
After going up the mountain, Xu Ning was far from having the same outstanding performance as other heroes.
Don't say that Xu Ning doesn't have many scenes, you must know that Zhang Qing, who appeared later on the stage, also didn't have many scenes, but just one performance was enough to amaze the readers, in the seventieth episode of the original work, as the last Tiangang who returned to Liangshan, Zhang Qing can be said to be out of the limelight, and he beat fifteen people in Liangshan in a row.

And Xu Ning has basically been in a semi-retired state since he went up the mountain, except for bringing out the characteristics of the hook and sickle when he played against Hu Yanzhuo, in the follow-up plot, this character is basically in a marginalized state, as if his appearance is to restrain Hu Yanzhuo, and when Hu Yanzhuo also defects to Liangshan, Xu Ning will become a pawn that can be ignored.
In fact, it can't be said that from Xu Ning's own point of view, he may not be willing to sincerely work for Song Jiang, after all, he was forced to fall into the herb in the first place.
It seems that most of the heroes in the book are "forced to go to Liangshan", but in fact, "forced" is also divided into several situations, such as Song Jiang and others did have to fall into the grass because of their mistakes, and Xu Ning was purely forced to fall into the grass by the group of people who later called him brothers.
(Tang Long stills)
When he went up the mountain, he had this conversation with Tang Long: "Tang Long said: 'I taught my brother one more thing: I bumped into a group of guests on the way, I put on my brother's goose feather armor, painted his face, said my brother's name and surname, and robbed the group of guests' belongings. Sooner or later, Tokyo has been arresting his brother by himself. Xu Ning said: "Brother, you have also hurt me very much!" Chao Gai and Song Jiang both came to accompany him and said: "If this is not the case, observe how you are willing to live here." ’”
Xu Ning had a bright future, but now he has become a sinner, and he can only live the days of licking blood at the tip of a knife in the green forest, how can he really be good to these "brothers"? It is also reasonable that he will choose to "mess up" on Liangshan Mountain in the future.
Because of this, his death has long been foreshadowed.
3. An inexplicable ending
As mentioned above, with Xu Ning's level of martial arts, there should be no problem for him to come and go freely on the battlefield, plus his Tang Qi Treasure Armor, how many people in the world can hurt him? Even if he can hurt him, I am afraid that he will inevitably shed his skin, after all, the treasure armor is wrapped around his whole body.
And as the saying goes, "no book is made without coincidence", who would have thought that Xu Ning would end up being shot in the neck by the enemy's arrow.
The book reads: "The day should be Xu Ning and Hao Siwen, the two of them brought dozens of horses, went straight to the north gate, saw that the city gate was wide open, and when the two came to the drawbridge to look, a drum sounded in the city, and a Biao army and horse had already crashed out of the city. When Xu Ning and Hao Siwen hurried back to the horse...... Xu Ning was anxious to turn back, Xiang Shang was hit by an arrow in the morning, and when he walked away with the arrow Pegasus, the six generals came from behind, and Guan Sheng was on the way, and he was rescued, and he fainted with blood. ”

The whole body is covered with treasure armor, but the neck is exposed, but he was just hit in the neck, and this luck is no one, but this is also because he has not experienced too many big battles, and his martial arts have long since lost the courage of the past, otherwise he would probably be able to stop the enemy's arrows with that hook and sickle, right?
If you want to say that Liang Shan died the most wronged, it must be Xu Ning, but Xu Ning's story also tells us a fact, that is, you have to stay away from those relatives who are not as good as you, maybe they will one day be like Xu Ning's cousin Tang Long, and suddenly harm you from the end.
