"Water Margin" is a literary work full of magic, for example, in the second chapter of the original work, Shi Nai'an mentioned that Taiwei Hong let go of one hundred and eight demon lords, and those demon lords correspond to the later Liangshan Thirty-six Tiangang and Seventy-two Earth Demons, and the nicknames of those heroes are also more exaggerated than the other, as if they have blown themselves into gods.
However, it is obvious that whether it is the statement of heaven and earth, or those exaggerated nicknames, they are exaggerated, most of them do not have the ability to reach the sky, and some are just ordinary reckless men, for example, Song Jiang's younger brother Song Qing is a typical straw bag, he has no skills, and he can go to Liangshan only because of his brother's identity, and after going up the mountain, he is just a logistics director, responsible for banquet matters.

But if the nickname of Liangshan heroes is worthy of the name, which of them can be regarded as the strongest?
1. A nickname that is not worthy of the name
If you want to say that there is a great difference between the nickname and the strength of Liangshan, the first thing that comes to the author's mind is the eight tigers of Liangshan, namely the winged tiger Lei Heng, the brocade tiger Yanshun, the bantam tiger Wang Ying, the jumping tiger Chen Da, the middle arrow tiger Ding Desun, the flower tiger Gong Wang, the blue-eyed tiger Li Yun, and the smiling tiger Zhu Fu.
In fact, strictly speaking, there are more than eight tigers in Liangshan, after all, in addition to the eight people who clearly take "tiger" as their nickname, there are also two big insects and a biao, the "sick big worm" Xue Yong and the "mother big worm" Gu sister-in-law are also tigers, and the "golden-eyed biao" Shi En is also a tiger.
However, it is obvious that among these eleven people, none of them can be regarded as tiger generals, even if they are ranked Tiangang winged tigers and thunder horizontally, their strength is not very strong.
And what is even more embarrassing is another hero, that person is the "Tiger General" Li Zhong.
(Li Zhong stills)
Anyone who has read the original book knows that the only person in the book who has done the feat of "fighting the tiger" is only one Wu Song, yes, such as Li Kui killing the tiger with a knife and Xie Zhen, Xie Bao brothers hunting tigers, that are all using weapons, not to mention "fighting tigers", and Wu Song is a real bare-handed tiger fight, Jingyang Gangshang he beat the tiger into a brocade bag, just like the hymn given to him by the author, this guy is like the demon lord in the sky, it is really the god of Tai Sui in the world.
And Li Zhong was embarrassed, he had never fought a tiger, not only robbed Wu Song's nickname, but also inevitably offended the other eleven brothers on Liangshan, not to mention that the eleven people were all better than him, but whenever those people asked, "You are called a tiger general", Li Zhong's heart couldn't help but tremble.
In addition, there are not a few people who deceive the world and steal their names on Liangshan, that is, their nicknames do not match their strength.
So when their strength is really as they boast in their nickname, those heroes will become the best masters?
Relatively speaking, the vast majority of heroes in Tiangang have not improved much, and nicknames such as Wu Song's "Walker" and Lu Zhishen's "Flower Monk" cannot reflect their strength at all.
For example, Qin Ming's "Thunderbolt Fire", Lin Chong's "Leopard Head", and Dong Ping's "Double Gun General" and other nicknames, at most, can only be regarded as an objective description of their strength, and there is not much improvement.
However, there are seven heroes in the earth who will become invincible in the world, because without exception, they have all changed from mortals to gods and demons.
Second, the seven heroes whose strength has skyrocketed
First place: Ma Lin
Ma Lin is nicknamed "Iron Flute Fairy", he is indeed good at playing the flute, but where is the fairy?
(Ma Lin stills)
When he appeared on the stage, there was a sentence mentioned in the book: "The third hero's surname is Ma Minglin, and his ancestor is Nanjing Jiankang." It was originally a small fan of idlers, and he played a double iron flute, which made a big hob, and a hundred and ten people could not approach him. Therefore, people call him the Iron Flute Fairy. There are poems as evidence: the iron flute cracked, and the copper knife was frightened. Ma Lin's appearance is really strange, and the humane immortal was reborn. ”
No matter how gorgeous it is, there is no need to say more about what the word "idler" means, to put it bluntly, this guy is an idle person, and there is another idler in the book, that is, "White Day Mouse" Bai Sheng, what level is that buddy, needless to say.
But if Ma Lin is really like a nickname, then he is ascending to immortal, how can he not be strong.
Second place: Bao Xu
Since there are immortals, there will naturally be gods, and the nickname of Bao Xu, the owner of the withered tree cottage, is called "Mourning God".
About this person, the book only says: "The hideous grimace is like the bottom of a pot, and the eyes are stacked to expose the wolf's lips." Set fire to kill people and carry a broadsword, Bao Xu is famous as the god of mourning. This hero is the god of mourning, Bao Xu, who stepped forward and lowered the sword in his hand and cut down the horse. The rest of the people fled for their lives, leaving the car and sinking it. ”

Bao Xu's strength is actually not bad, and when he later went to Liangshan, he formed a death squad with Li Kui, and they could always charge into battle to defeat the enemy.
It's just that if he really becomes a "god of mourning", his strength is naturally not comparable to mortals.
Third place: Yu Baosi
There is more than one Bao Xu on Liangshan who claims to be a "god", and Yu Baosi is also a "god", and his nickname is "God of Dangerous Paths".
This character is purely a trick in the book, and the hymn given to him by the author has only one sentence: "Not good wealth but good righteousness, it looks like King Kong leaving the ancient temple." The length is called the god of danger, this is Qingzhou Yubao four. ”
(Yu Baosi stills)
To put it bluntly, he just grew taller, and later went to Liangshan, but he was just a role in carrying the flag, and his strength should be not small.
If he becomes a god, then it is a different matter.
Fourth place: Hao Siwen
Hao Siwen is Guan Sheng's brother, nicknamed "Jing Mu Qian", and the deepest impression of this character on readers is his death, which can be called the worst in the book.
Most people may not understand the meaning of the nickname "Jing Mu Qian", but in fact, it is one of the twenty-eight houses, and to put it bluntly, it is also a god.
The remaining three: Mangdang Mountain Sanxiong
The last three are the three leaders from Mangdang Mountain, namely Fan Rui, Li Gon and Xiang Chong.
The nicknames of these three people are "Demon King of the Mixed World", "Flying Sage" and "Eight-armed Nezha", one demon with two immortals, how can such a combination not be strong?
(Stills of the three heroes of Mangdang Mountain)
Relatively speaking, Li Gon and Xiang Chong's nicknames are exaggerated, their performance in the book can be described as "super soldiers", and they are a little stronger than ordinary people, while Fan Rui is different, he can be said to be the second mage under Gongsun Sheng, how strong this kind of person who knows how to use spells is, anyone who has read the original book should know.
But in any case, who can beat this combination of one demon king and two immortals?
If the strength of the heroes of Liangshan is really as their nickname boasts, I am afraid that Ma Lin, Bao Xu, Yu Baosi, Hao Siwen, Fan Rui, Li Gon, and Xiang Chong will be invincible in the world.
