 Strange
is the destiny of Lu Da, that garrison major that
nothing destined to become a buddhist monk and,
later, a captain of the Liangshang outlaws... nothing
except his quick temper and his hate for injustice.
A few time after encountering Nine Dragons, Shi Jin, he will commit a murder
to save a poor girl and her father, victims of the
persecutions of a notable.

Condemned to escape from Imperial justice,
he will shave
his hair and beard
to get refuge in a monastery .
Unable to refrain
his violent temper and his taste for wine, he will
be sent from a monastery to another, no abbott willing
to keep this unusual monk.
Nicknamed the Tattoed Monk, he will travel alone for
a long time, incarnating the quality of Loneliness.
In spite of his many
defaults, he is one of those likeable characters
Chinese literature created, as Sun Wu Kong, the
famous Monkey King.
