Synopsis: During the Song Dynasty, the court was corrupt, and the people suffered. The Jin father and daughter, persecuted by the local tyrant Zhen Guanxi, were rescued by Captain Lu. To evade the authorities, Lu Da shaved his head and became a monk, taking the monastic name "Zhishen." He left the temple and traveled to the capital, Bianliang, where he befriended Lin Chong, the drill instructor of the 800,000 imperial guards. Marshal Gao Qiu ordered Lu Qian to frame Lin Chong for trespassing into the White Tiger Hall with a sword, resulting in Lin Chong's exile to military service. At the fodder yard, Lin Chong slew his enemies and, on a snowy night, fled to Mount Liangshan. For Grand Tutor Cai's birthday, Yang Zhi was tasked with escorting a convoy of 100,000 gold and silver treasures as a birthday gift. Chao Gai, Wu Yong, and others cleverly seized the convoy. Wu Song fought a tiger on Jingyang Ridge, slaughtered the enemies at Mandarin Duck Tower, and drunkenly beat Jiang the Gate God before joining Mount Liangshan. Song Jiang was sentenced to death for writing rebellious poetry but was rescued by the heroes of Mount Liangshan, eventually joining them. Heroes from all walks of life gathered at Mount Liangshan to carry out justice on behalf of heaven.
