Some people say that Wu Song is not in the narrow sense, because he killed some innocent people while getting rid of the evil people, such as when the blood splashed the Mandarin Duck Tower, Wu Song killed several unarmed servants and maids in one go.
This is a stain, and Wu Song's later insistence on not changing the image of the practitioner is somewhat atonement.
In fact, if you have to calculate carefully, wu song eliminated the majority of bad people before going to Erlong Mountain. Although the original intention is not necessarily to "act heroically and righteously", in fact it has played the effect of "eliminating harm for the people".
For example, Ximen Qing, Wang Po and Pan Jinlian were eliminated for revenge on their brothers; Jiang Menshen, Zhang Dujian and Zhang Tuanlian were eliminated in order to repay their kindness and personal grievances; they eliminated four killers for self-preservation; they eliminated the evil Taoist priests in order to save the women of the Liang family... If it weren't for Zhang Qing's timely confession, the evil Sun Erniang might also be gone.
Some people say that Wu Song is as cruel as Li Kui, and even children are not spared, such as the little apprentice of Wang Daoren on centipede ridge.
In fact, Wu Song is not necessarily wrong about this.
Here's the thing:
When Wu Song crossed the Centipede Ridge, at a graveyard, he saw Wang Daoren holding a young woman in his arms and flirting in the night... The stinky Taoist actually flirted with the women of the good family! An enraged Wu Song decided to eliminate harm for the people.
Knocking on the door of the temple, no one responded, Wu Song was furious, picked up a stone and smashed it, only to see a small Taoist priest open the door and walk out. Don't look at this little Daoist priest who is young, but the person is very horizontal, and he scolds when he opens his mouth... Wu Song gave him a result on the spot.
Although this little Daoist priest was young, he was not a good stubble.
Usually at night, when someone knocks on the door, people are mostly careful to ask who is coming, especially in the era of strong people... But this little Daoist priest was not afraid to open his mouth and scold people, presumably because he was used to following his master in his daily life, so he would be so rude to strangers.
Moreover, the master was doing bad things, and this little Daoist not only did not have a little weakness in his heart, but instead shouted loudly, and he was not afraid that their ugly deeds would be discovered. It seems that this little Daoist is not only a matter of habit, but also likely to help the Wang Dao people to do some bad things in their daily lives.
At such an early age, he was so arrogant to play for the tiger, and when he grew up, he got it! For Wu Song, bad guys don't have a distinction between men and women, young and old. Get rid of this little Daoist, and don't do anything wrong.
