As soon as Lu Zhishen appeared on the scene, he met the Father and Daughter of the Jin Family who were crying and crying in the Pan family restaurant, he asked about the situation, borrowed a few pieces of silver from Shi Jin and Li Zhong, and wanted to send the father and daughter home.
Then he rushed to the front of Zheng Tu's butcher shop in a huff, looking for Zheng Tu, who had deceived Jin Cuilian, to settle the account.
Some people say that Lu Zhishen's appearance is in practice, and "when the road is uneven, he draws his sword to help" and "eliminates violence and peace" shows that Lu Zhishen's "Buddha's heart" is revealed.
And the black whirlwind Li Kui? He seems to be like Lu Zhishen when he appears, a rough and reckless man.
However, doing things is very different from Lu Zhishen, the same is to save people, after Lu Zhishen saved Liu Taigong's daughter, he only taught Zhou Tong, a little bully who robbed the people's daughter in a serious way:
Liu Taigong's head of the family affair, but you do not know that he only has this one daughter, the pension to the end, the inheritance of incense, all on her, if you marry, teach him that the old man is lost, he is reluctant in his heart.
However, after Li Kui "caught ghosts" for The Di Taigong family, he cut off his only daughter and her lover, and said that "he had enough to eat, and there was no place to eat."
After cutting, the two corpses were also "chopped for a while, chopping into ten or so pieces." He didn't think for Di Taigong like Lu Zhishen, why did he "teach him that the old man was lost"?
No more than not knowing, a comparison can lead to such a conclusion: if Ruda is a Buddha who eliminates violence and peace, Li Kui is a bloodthirsty demon.
So, is the tiger hero Wu Song a Buddha or a demon?
Wu Song is a well-deserved hero and good man in "Water Margin", and is the image that Shi Nai'an strives to create, such as "Wu Song Fighting the Tiger", "Wu Song Killing His Sister-in-Law", "Blood Splashing Mandarin Duck Tower" and other stories, which can be described as well-known to everyone and known to women and children.
Wu Song was born poor and lowly, his parents died when he was young, and it was his brother Wu Dalang who raised him as an adult, so he had a deep affection for his brother.
At first, because of his youth and vigor, he quarreled with people at the wine table, beat people to serious injuries, and fled to Chai Jinzhuang to avoid the lawsuit.
Later, when he heard that the man who had been beaten did not die, he first thought of going home to see his brother. It was on the way home that Jingyang Gang beat the tiger and became famous, and became the head of the infantry of Yanggu County.
He was at his brother's house, feeling that his sister-in-law Pan Jinlian was not a good person, and when he was on a business trip, he told his brother Qian Ding Wanwan: come out late and return early, look after the portal; be patient when you encounter trouble, and wait for your brother to come back and then pay attention.
Hearing this, I was really touched by Wu Song's love for his brother! However, the humble Wu Dalang only listened to his brother's previous sentence, but forgot the latter sentence, because he personally went to catch Jian, let Ximen Qing kick him in the heart, and was killed by Pan Jinlian.
Wu Song returned, facing his brother's spiritual bed, first froze, and when his sanity was restored, he thought that his brother had died strangely. Therefore, he checked the ins and outs of his brother's death, and in the absence of a complaint, in front of all the neighbors, he took out the heart of his sister-in-law and came to worship his brother.
In this matter, the grief-stricken Wu Song maintained a sense of sanity, and he did not act rashly before figuring out the facts of his brother's murder, and after clarifying the facts, he did not act first, but took the human evidence and physical evidence to yamen to seek revenge for his brother.
The county magistrate dismissed it as "insufficient evidence", and Wu Song could not bear it and could only choose to solve it himself. However, after the result of Ximen Qingpan Jinlian, he still left the life of the princess and handed her over to the government to deal with.
Shi Nai'an's design of this plot also seems to have a deep meaning. Wu Song also has a scale in his heart, and if he can kill one less, he will kill less, which is completely different from Li Kui's pleasure in killing people.
Wu Song is a man, his brother's nurturing grace he can not forget, to avenge his brother, he is reckless, although the operation of the heart is a bit excessive, but think of the tragic situation when Wu Dalang died, Pan Jinlian is also deserved.
Wu Song is not only not a "cruel person", but also shows "compassion" feelings in some things.
If his revenge for Wu Da was out of brotherhood, he rescued the blinded public, and the "Buddha Heart" sprouted.
Because of killing Pan Jinlian Ximenqing, Wu Song was stabbed with Mengzhou, and when he passed through Shilipo, the two dukes who escorted him were injected with Menghan medicine by Sun Erniang.
Zhang Qing gave him the idea to kill the two gongren, and Wu Song could go to the Erlongshan Baozhu Temple to find Lu Zhi to join him. Ke Wusong said:
Wu Songping only beat the tough guys in the world, and these two public people, for my division, were just careful, and served me along the way. If I harm him, Heaven will not tolerate me. If you love me, save both of them with me, and do not harm him.
This shows the benevolence of Wu Song.
When they arrived at the Mengzhou prison camp, they became acquainted with Shi En, because Shi En's revenge offended Jiang Menshen, who bought Zhang Supervisor and Zhang Tuanlian to design a plan to harm Wu Song.
As a result, Wu Song killed the ring and staged two big dramas of "Flying Cloud Pu" and "Blood Splash Mandarin Duck Tower".
In a scene in Feiyunpu, he first killed four people, stood on the bridge and looked at it once, thinking:
Although killing these four thieves and men, without killing Zhang Supervisor, Zhang Tuanlian, and Jiang Menshen, how could he get out of this mouth of hatred!
Later, he hesitated for half a moment with the park knife before returning to Mengzhou City to kill three enemies and carry and cut down more than a dozen innocent people, including the singing magnolia.
Blood-spattered mandarin duck tower, and like Li Kuijiangzhou robbery of the law field and the three dozen Zhujiazhuang, Wu Song also became a bloodthirsty demon.
However, from the "thinking" before he killed people and then "hesitating", we can see the entanglement in his heart.
From Buddha to Demon, it can be described as "between one thought" and "one thought."
After killing people, Wu Song once again went to the death of the jianghu. Zhang Qingsun and his wife gave Wu Song the head of the head to wear, and he went to Erlong Mountain to find Lu Zhishen.
When Wu Song passed through Centipede Ridge, he saw a man in the cemetery in the forest laughing with a woman in his arms.
He immediately "rose from his heart, and evil came to the side of fear", thinking to himself, "This is under the mountains and forests, but he is doing such a thing!" With a swing of his knife, he first killed a Dao boy, and then fought with the man for more than a dozen rounds, and then he was killed.
After killing the man, Wu Song called the woman out to find out why. It turned out that the man was a "flying centipede" Wang Daoren, and the woman was the daughter of Liu Taigong under the mountain, and the Wang Daoren killed all of Liu Taigong's family and plundered his daughter up the mountain for his own enjoyment, and that Daotong was also a child who had been plundered.
Wu Song listened and ordered the woman to pack up her things and go down the mountain. The woman packed up a bag of gold and silver and gave it to Wu Song, who said:
I don't want yours, you go and feed yourself. Go fast, go fast!
The woman went away thankfully. How similar is this plot to Lu Zhishen's peach blossom village to save Liu Taigong's daughter!
Seeing this, we seem to feel Wu Song's deeply hidden "Buddha heart" once again.
In the end, Wu Song went up erlong mountain and became the leader of erlong mountain with Lu Zhishen and Yang Zhi, but he was a robber and rarely did murder and arson again.
From Erlong Mountain to Liangshan Bo Dajuyi, to being recruited by the imperial court, and later with the Liangshan team to march south to the north, he has always been with Lu Zhishen and has been deeply influenced by Lu Zhishen.
At the end of the conquest, Lu Zhishen continued to practice, and Wu Song, who had lost an arm, resolutely chose to become a monk in Hangzhou and became a veritable monk of "compassion for compassion".
summary:
Reading the life of the tiger hero Wu Song, you will also know whether he is a Buddha or a demon.
He was originally an ordinary person, he cared for his only relative, Wu Dalang, meticulously, but the vicious adulterer killed his brother and made him a lonely man.
If the government could be the master of the people and hate Wu Dalang Xue, Wu Song would not have stabbed Pan Jinlian and killed Ximen Qing in anger, and he would not have changed from a human to a murderous demon.
Similarly, if it were not for Jiang Menshen colluding with Zhang Dujian and others to persecute Wu Song and putting Wu Song to death, Wu Song would not have risen up to take revenge, not only killing three enemies, but also cutting down more than a dozen innocent people in a row.
In the final analysis, it was that unjust society, that uneven world, that made Wu Song a "demon."
But Wu Song always had a clear conscience, and while he killed people, he released his kindness to the weak, especially after putting on the head of the head, he seemed to think of himself as a real practitioner.
