Introduction to the Epic Novel The Three Thousand Scrolls of the Martial World
Lin Feng, a Jin Yong fan and wilderness adventurer, has been captivated since childhood by the martial world of “Snowy Peaks, Flying Fox, Linked Cities, White Deer, Laughing Hero, Heavenly Book, Divine Condor, and Emerald Mandarin Ducks.” He often drives through famous mountains and rivers, especially fond of seeking out the hidden places in Jin Yong's works. This time, he ventures alone into the vast forests of Jin Yong's hometown, hoping to find a trace of the martial world his idol once imagined. Instead, he accidentally stumbles into a strange magnetic vortex. Mist surges through the woods like waves, and a glasslike portal appears among the towering ancient trees. The instant he steps through, he falls into a higher-dimensional space far beyond his understanding.
There, he meets a young man with handsome features and a gentle air. His face bears a striking resemblance to Jin Yong's, and he introduces himself as “Jin Yong from another dimension.” The young man tells him with a smile that the martial arts stories Lin Feng loves were never fictional legends, but real events from the martial world of ancient times. The higher-dimensional world merely recorded those tales of chivalry, tender affection, and loyalty to one's country, then passed them down to later generations through writing.
His words jolt Lin Feng out of his dreams, and the regrets he has carried for years surge to the surface. He cannot accept the tragic deaths of Guo Jing and his wife, who gave their lives when Xiangyang fell. He grieves for Yang Guo and Xiao Longnu, forced to wait for one another for sixteen years. He feels for Linghu Chong, who endured countless hardships yet still struggled to find pure freedom. And he is haunted by Qiao Feng's resolute choice to throw himself off a cliff to end the war. Trembling, he begs Jin Yong from the higher dimension: Could he use the power of that world to rewrite these heartbreaking endings?
After a long silence, Jin Yong from the higher dimension finally agrees, but only on the condition that he accompany Lin Feng as a “mentor,” while Lin Feng enters those magnificent martial worlds as a participant. And so Lin Feng's journey through the martial world begins:
