Sorting out the story of Luda

1. Lu Tihai punched the town of Kansai

Lu Zhishen was drinking heavily with his friends in the hotel, and was in a good mood when he suddenly heard a singer crying, and he was annoyed. Why did he cry? The singer replied: the bully town forced marriage in Kansai! Lu zhishen was so ill that he was furious. The next day, I went to the small shop where the singer and her father lived. First, I beat up the hooligans of Zhenkansai and let the singer and his son go. He went straight to the town of Kansai to sell meat paving, and laughed at the bully town of Kansai in public. The onlookers are all big and fast. The bully was furious and came to fight Lu Zhishen. Lu Tihai waved his fist, killed Zhenkansai with three punches and left on his back.

2. Make a scene in the wild pig forest

Lin Chong was framed and stabbed to match Cangzhou, and Lu Qian let his men kill him halfway. Two policemen tortured Lin Chong in every way on the road, and finally discussed how to start work in the sparsely populated wild pig forest. In the wild pig forest, they pretended to rest, fearing that Lin Chong would escape, and tricked Lin Chong into agreeing to tie them up. As a result, Lin Chong will be killed after being tied up.

Lin Chong knew he had been taken in, but he couldn't break free. When Lu Zhishen heard in the inn that Lin Chong was going to be silenced, he rushed to the only sinister place where he could be silenced, so that he could appear in time and save Lin Chong. Originally, Lu Zhishen was going to kill both of them, but Lin Chong begged Lu Zhishen to let them go. Lu was not at ease, so he went on the road with them and let business serve Lin Chong along the way.

3. Capturing Fang La

Fang La was hungry, but he was about to go to Maozi to ask for some food. A fat monk came out from behind a pine tree, knocked over a mord, and tied it with a rope. The monk was none other than Lu Zhishen, a flower monk. Song Jiang was overjoyed, advised Zhishen to be an official, sealed his wife and son, and honored his ancestors. Lu Zhishen said that he had seen through the world and was unwilling to accept it. Song Jiang also advised him to abbot the famous mountain, and Lu Zhishen also refused.

4. Pull the weeping willows upside down

Lu Zhishen went to Sokokuji to see the vegetable garden. There are twenty or thirty ruffians living near the vegetable garden. They often come to the vegetable garden to steal vegetables, but several people who look after the garden can't control them. This time, I heard that there was a new person, so I made trouble. Unexpectedly, Lu Zhishen kicked the two leaders into the cesspit, scaring them to beg for mercy. The next day, the ruffians bought some food and wine as a gift to Lu Zhishen.

Everyone was having a good time. When they heard crows barking from the big tree outside, the ruffians said it was unlucky and the noisy people were upset, so they wanted to move a ladder to tear down the bird's nest. Lu Zhishen looked the tree up and down and said, "No, take me to pull it up." After that, he took off his coat, put his left hand around the trunk, held the upper part of the tree with his right hand, and straightened up, and the tree was uprooted.

The ruffians were stunned and shouted, "Master is not human!" "What am I if I'm not human?" "If Master is not an arhat in the sky, how can he have such divine power!" From then on, these people idolized Lu Zhishen and entertained him with food and wine every day. When Lu Zhishen rose after drinking, he performed boxing for everyone. His boxing was slightly drunk, which is now Lu Zhishen's drunken boxing.

Extended information:

Lu Zhishen was originally an officer. Although his position is far less than that of Lin Chong, his size is also a county seat. It's just that he may not be born to be an official, or maybe he was born to be a chivalrous man.

He was born with hatred, and Ren Xia was righteous, but he never cared about personal gains or losses. In addition to helping the weak, he is not like Song Jiang and others in order to improve his reputation in the rivers and lakes, with some deliberate pursuit. He does things out of spontaneous nature and has no other deliberate intentions at all.

He killed Zhenkansai with three punches for a pair of singer fathers and daughters whom he had never met before. Afterwards, he realized the seriousness of the matter and had to lose his official position and abscond. But he didn't regret it, and he didn't blame the singing father and daughter for it.

Perhaps this is the most essential difference between him and Song Jiang and others.

He was free and easy by nature, so he couldn't stand any restraint. After becoming a monk, he made a scene in Wutai Mountain because he couldn't stand the rules and regulations of the temple. Therefore, he was sent to Tokyo Sokokuji, and he met Lin Chong, who was then the head coach of 8, imperial guns and clubs.

At that time, Lu Zhishen was just a monk in charge of the vegetable garden in Sokokuji, and even in the temple, his position was the lowest, which was a far cry from that of Lin Jiaotou. However, Lin Chong didn't look down on Lu Zhishen, and Lu Zhishen didn't sell himself short, and he didn't want Lin Chong to exonerate himself or seek official positions. The friendship between the two of them is really a friendship between gentlemen as light as water, without any interest.

Throughout the whole Water Margin, that is, the friendship between them is the purest, much more respectable and lovely than those who are full of benevolence, righteousness and morality. It can be said that having friends like Lu Zhishen is the greatest blessing and pleasure in life.
