In Legends of the Xuanhe Reign, Xuanhe yishi, ca 1300, the saga of Wu Song is only hinted at in so far as Wu Songs nickname, Pilgrim Wu Song, Xingzhe Wu Song 行者武松 , is mentioned in the Heavenly Letter that Song Jiang receives. Apart from that nothing is told about Wu Song in this early version of the heroes of Mount Liang.
