Origin and Story of 一无牵挂

Lu Zhishen, in an act of fairness to save Elder Jin and his daughter, killed "Slaughterer" Zheng. For this, he was wanted by the authorities.

He had to leave Weizhou and escape to Yanmen County in Daizhou, where he coincidentally met Elder Jin and his daughter again. Elder Jin arranged for him to stay at his son-in-law Zhao Yuanwai's farm, but still worried about official pursuit.

Therefore, he suggested that the unburdened Lu Zhishen go to Mount Wutai to become a monk.
