Chapter 1761: The Reason Why Li Kui's Mother Lost Her Soul
Li Kui went home to pick up his mother and go to Liangshan to enjoy happiness, however, halfway through, the old mother died in the tiger's mouth.
An old lady in her eighties, a son fled because of murder, a son struggled to survive by doing long-term work in the landlord's house, and she cried blind because she missed the son who fled away.
The son, who finally escaped, came to pick him up in the name of being an official to enjoy his happiness, but on the way, he was eaten by a tiger.
No matter how you look at such a plot, it reveals a deep sadness, and the ending of the old mother is embarrassing.
All the book lovers, celebrities, and authors in various literary fields sighed and sighed in their hearts, and at the same time fell into deep contemplation.
They are all thinking about a question, why did the author Li Fan write the plot of Li Kui's old mother being eaten by a tiger?
Isn't this kind of plot too cruel for the old mother?
Li Kui went home to pick up his old mother to enjoy happiness, which shows his filial piety, but his filial piety does not seem to move the world.
If his filial piety touches the heavens and the earth, his old mother will be eaten by a tiger without reason.
Why did the author Li Fan arrange such a plot?
All the people are thinking.
Some book fans said that this is so that Li Kui can do a great career with peace of mind from now on.
But some book fans objected, if Li Kui was to be alone, then there was no need to arrange for Li Kui to have an old mother, and when Li Kui appeared, he would be directly alone, how good is this, why let the old mother be eaten by a tiger so cruelly?
The book fan said again that this arrangement is to reflect Li Kui's filial piety, since he is a good man in Liangshan, he must be filial piety.
It reflects that Li Kui has filial piety, which is indeed not wrong, and we all know that Li Kui is a person with filial piety.
But as I just said, since Li Kui has such filial piety, he should naturally move the heavens and let his mother enjoy her life in Liangshan, and it is impossible to be eaten by a tiger.
Therefore, it is true that Li Kui has filial piety, but it should not be the reason why the author arranged this plot.
Some fans said that this is to reflect Li Kui's bravery, using a simple knife to kill four tigers in a row, although it is two big tigers and two small tigers, but it also shows Li Kui's bravery.
There are also book fans who oppose it, which is even more wrong, to reflect Li Kui's bravery, there are many methods, where is there a need for such a cruel method as letting his mother die tragically?
Even if you have to write about Li Kui killing the tiger, then you can find a thousand reasons for Li Kui to kill the tiger, so why use this most cruel reason?
None of these reasons are convincing.
So, what is the author Li Fan writing this for?
Or is there no reason at all?
No, no, there should be a reason.
Otherwise, the author Li Fan should not arrange the plot like this.
Most people believe that there must be a reason for the author Li Fan to arrange the plot in this way.
Shen Cong, director of the Historical Research Branch of the Ministry of Culture of the People's Republic of China, gave his own answer.
Shen Cong believes that the reason why the old mother was eaten by the tiger is a kind of karma.
The old mother, as a powerless old lady, obviously could not have done anything evil and brought such retribution to herself.
Then, the person who brought such retribution to the old mother can only be Li Kui.
The reason why the old mother was eaten by the tiger was because Li Kui killed too many people, and often killed innocents indiscriminately.
Li Kui is the person who kills the most among the characters who have appeared, and he is also the only one who often kills innocents indiscriminately.
First: When Jiangzhou robbed the law field to save Song Jiang, Li Kui opened the axe and killed people when he saw them, whether they were officers and soldiers or ordinary people, they all killed.
Chao Gai, the first leader of Liangshan, shouted to Li Kui, "Don't do the people's business, Hugh just hurt people." ”
However, Li Kui turned a deaf ear, and whether it was an officer or an ordinary person, he picked up an axe and slashed it, killing all over the ground, bleeding into a canal, and killing and injuring countless innocent people.
Second: When he was fighting Zhujiazhuang three times, Hu Cheng came to surrender with wine and was willing to cooperate with Liangshan, and Li Kui saw it with his own eyes.
However, the next day, Hu Cheng tied Zhu Biao and prepared to hand him over to Song Jiang, Li Kui didn't say a word, he hacked Zhu Biao to death with an axe, and the second axe went straight to Hu Cheng, wanting to kill Hu Cheng together.
Fortunately, Hu Cheng reacted quickly, turned his horse and ran, and escaped Li Kui's pursuit.
However, although Hu Cheng ran away, he was full of people, but he was killed by Li Kui.
Song Jiang lightly rebuked Li Kui for a few words, and just forget it.
Li Kui even said that if he blames, he will blame, as long as he kills happily.
Third: In order to force Zhu Tong to go up the mountain, Li Kui actually cut the head of Zhu Tong's four-year-old son in half with an axe, and an innocent child was brutally killed in this way.
Although this was Song Jiang's instigation, why didn't Song Jiang send someone else?
Because Song Jiang knew that only Li Kui could do it, not only ruthlessly, but also cruelly.
Fourth: In order to deal with the high and cheap demon law of the Gaotang Prefecture, Li Kui and Dai Zong went to Jizhou to find Gongsun Sheng for help.
After arriving in Jizhou, I didn't expect Gongsun Sheng's master Luo Zhenren to not allow Gongsun Sheng to go down the mountain.
So, Li Kui touched Luo Zhenren's mountain in the middle of the night, and saw Luo Zhenren reciting scriptures on the cloud bed alone, so he pushed open the door, rushed in, lifted the axe, and slashed down on Luo Zhenren's head.
This axe was particularly ruthless, directly cutting Luo Zhenren down on the cloud bed, and his head was split in half.
After cutting Luo Zhenren, he turned around and ran out, and saw a boy in Tsing Yi stopping Li Kui, Li Kui said indiscriminately, "You little thief, eat me with an axe."
After saying that, he took up his axe and cut off the head of the little Taoist boy again, and rolled to the bottom of the steps.
It can be seen from the above points that Li Kui killed too many people, and often killed innocents indiscriminately, and his methods were cruel.
In addition, Li Kui passed by Yiling, put down his old mother to look for water, and after finding the water source, he thought about how to bring the water back to the old mother to drink?
Standing up, looking east and west, I saw a temple on the top of the mountain in the distance.
Li Kui said: "There is." ”
Li Kui walked to the front of the temple and saw that it was a Sizhou Great Sage Ancestral Hall, and there was only a stone incense burner in front of him.
Li Kui went to take the stone incense burner with his hand and found that the stone incense burner was hewn from the seat and could not be held at all.
So, Li Kui took out the seat, knocked on the stone steps in front, and directly knocked down the stone incense burner.
Then take it to the stream, put the stone incense burner in the water, pull up the messy grass, wash it clean, fill it with half incense burner water, and then return the same way.
In order to get back the drink for his old mother, Li Kui directly destroyed the incense burner in the temple.
In a way, it can be said that it offended the gods.
Li Kui killed too many people, killed innocents indiscriminately, and finally offended the gods when he fetched water, and under the cycle of cause and effect, his old mother was pitifully buried in the tiger's mouth.
Li Kui's crime was finally retributed to his old mother, which made people sigh and sigh.
It's a kind of karmic cycle, and the retribution is unpleasant, but it just pities the old mother.
Of course, although Li Kui has killed too many people and killed innocents indiscriminately, he is not an evil person, he is bold, honest, straightforward and loyal, and extremely filial.
He did not kill innocents indiscriminately at will, but all had various prerequisites.
He is also one of the heroes of Liangshan.
But in any case, his murderous intent is indeed too heavy, and some people should not be killed.
Shen Cong also thought in the end that Li Fan arranged for the old mother to be eaten by a tiger, and perhaps there was another intention, that is, to make Li Kui wake up, and then put away some of his own murderous intentions.
Kill those who should be killed, and kill those who should not be killed.
