Afterwards, he abandoned his post and fled to Wutai Mountain to become a monk. His legal name is "Shen Zhi". Lu couldn't stand the shackles of Buddhist rules and regulations, so he had to be introduced by the elders in the temple to look after the vegetable garden in Suoguo Temple in Tokyo (Kaifeng). During this period, by chance, he met Lin Chong, the head coach of the 800,000 imperial army in Tokyo.
There is a classic near Liangshan. When it was learned that Liang Zhongshu, the son-in-law of treacherous court official Cai Jing, had sent Yang Zhi to Beijing to escort the "birthday program", Wu Yong set a plan to rally seven other heroes to rob the birthday program and go to Liangshan. Yang Zhi lost his "family planning" and couldn't go back to work, so he joined Lu Shenzhi and occupied Erlong Mountain.
There was a hero named Song Jiang in Yuncheng. He had an affair with his mistress Yan Poxi. Knowing that the robbers from Sung River and Liangshan had come and gone, she threatened them in every way. In a rage, Sung River killed Yan Poxi, fled to Chai Jin Zhuang, a small whirlwind, and met Song Wu. After Song Wu broke up with Song Jiang, he killed a tiger in Jingyanggang and became a hero. Later, when he went to yanggu county as a military attache, he happened to meet his long-lost brother Wu Da.
After Song Jiang broke up with Song Wu, he defected to Huarong, the owner of Qingfeng Village stockade, and was soon recalled by his father. He was sent to Jiangzhou because he was reported. One day, he was drunk and accidentally wrote "anti-poetry" and was sentenced to death. Fortunately, the Liangshan brothers robbed the court and saved him. Song Jiang insisted on going home to visit his father, and was repeatedly in danger, and finally went to Liangshan.
Facing the situation that Liangshan rebels became more and more brave, the court changed its strategy and sent people to win over. So, under the guidance of Song Jiang and others' compromise thought, Quanliangshan accepted this appeal and was reorganized into the Zhao and Song armies. Rulers adopted the strategy of "impeded" and ordered Liangshan heroes to conquer Liao and Fang La. After years of war, only 27 of 108 heroes remain.
However, even these survivors failed to escape the bad luck that followed. Seeing that Liangshan heroes fought alone, the rulers killed Song Jiang and others shortly after awarding the title: Song Jiang and Lu Junyi were poisoned by medicated wine and mercury respectively, Li Kui jy was dragged to be buried with Song Jiang when he died, and Wu Yong and Hua Rongdao hanged themselves in Liaoerwa. A vigorous uprising was thus stifled.
