There were sounds of drums, clashing swords, and shouts… Someone banged on the door, saying, "General, something terrible has happened!" The voice belonged to Green Pearl. Bao Le'er and Zhu Yifei moved to the window and peeked out, both startled. They saw Song Qiutong, Qin Hongshan, Wanyan Jingjing, and Mu Sha carrying a chest full of jewels, half on the boat and half suspended in the air. Song Qiutong shouted towards the large ship where Bao Le'er was, "Count to ten again! If you don't bring Brother Yifei back soon, this whole box will be thrown away!" Qin Hongshan counted, "Ten, nine..." Zhu Yifei knew he was in trouble, but he knew that if he went out disheveled, the four jealous women on the opposite ship would cause him a lot of trouble, so he had to hurry up and tidy himself up. Hearing Qin Hongshan count to "three," he immediately darted out of the window like an owl.

    "A small grievance in the heart can be dispelled with wine; a great injustice in the world can only be dispelled with a sword!" Here, both "wine" and "sword" are symbolic expressions. Wine symbolizes a way to escape reality and temporarily forget troubles, while the sword represents resistance, struggle, and justice. This is a major theme of the book. As Liang Yusheng said, he wrote martial arts novels to depict literati; a martial artist without culture is a brute or a rogue; and a literati is too weak, unable to even kill a chicken. "Martial arts is actually the ideal of literati—to shoulder righteousness with an iron will and wield a skillful pen to write articles; it is the chivalrous dream of literati throughout the ages!"

    A subversive, absurd martial arts comedy—you absolutely must read this. By the end, you'll find yourself, like me, wearing a green hat, staring at the sky above Chang'an, speechless for a long time. A book you'll remember for a lifetime—if you haven't read it yet, it's not too late to start. On my master's 80th birthday, he ate meat for the first time, saying it was delicious, then closed his eyes. I cried twice, and just as I was about to eat the rest of his meat, he opened his eyes again: "There's one more regret: I haven't touched a woman's hand in eighty years. Think of another way." He really closed his eyes. I checked his breathing; he was really gone. The opening of this book made me laugh out loud late at night, then fall silent until dawn. My master is gone, leaving three things: a portrait (the chest has been faded from being touched), a green hat (a gift from Wang Gangdan; she said my master wrote beautiful couplets, but he was illiterate), and a last wish—to touch a woman's hand. I thought it was a small task, but I never imagined it would last a lifetime. I went down the mountain to find Wang Gangdan and told her that my master had reunited with her husband. She gripped my hand tightly, her gaze sharp: "Look, little monk, this is how you touch." I touched it, but it wasn't enough. Why touch hands? I hadn't figured it out. Chang'an was about to fall, the emperor had fled, and the Tubo were coming. I, wearing my master's green hat, continued searching for answers in this apocalyptic world. If you like: Unconventional comedy, absurd martial arts; an absurd yet poignant life; small characters in a chaotic world; an ending that makes you laugh and then cry; an answer completely opposite to "form is emptiness."
