Song Xiance keenly realized that Li Zicheng was not dead. Not only did he not die, but Liu Zongmin around him was not dead either.

However, as for how Li Zicheng escaped from the encirclement like a police officer and soldiers, Song Xiance didn't know. He ordered the soldiers to clean the battlefield three times, but found nothing.

Song Xiance was puzzled by how Li Zicheng escaped. Perhaps he took advantage of the night to escape.

This is not impossible, after all, Luozao Valley is too big. The defense of the officers and soldiers is limited, especially in the middle of the night and when the night is dark and windy, it is still easy to escape.

Song Xiance confirmed that Li Zicheng was not dead, but when he was instructing the three armies, he said that Li Zicheng was dead.

Zhu Cilang's reply to Song Xiance also said: "The thief Li Zicheng is dead, Luo Zaogu is where the thief is buried. This palace will also write to the court. When Luo Zaogu fights, Li Zicheng will die. With a kind heart, the court built a burial mound for Li Zicheng. The thief is buried in the tomb, and the thief is not damaged without authorization."

Zhu Cixuan did this to appease the surrendered bandits. Let the bandits see that the court did not abuse the dead Li Zicheng.

As for why Zhu Cixuan, like Song Xiance, said that Li Zicheng was dead. That is because only when Li Zicheng died can the thoughts of those bandits be completely cut off.

Before, the three words Li Zicheng were the hope of the bandits. As long as they heard about the three words Li Zicheng, these bandits would go to surrender regardless of their own life as if they had seen hope and dawn.

Today, everyone knows that Li Zicheng is dead, and even if Li Zicheng is alive, he will still die.

If Li Zicheng escaped by chance and wanted to continue to raise the banner of rebellion and recruit soldiers, then he would have to try his best to prove his identity. Otherwise, he would be a fake.

This thing cannot be proved, because in the official official documents, Li Zicheng had already died in battle. Moreover, the tens of thousands of captive subordinates of Li Zicheng were witnessed by their own eyes, and Li Zicheng died.

Killing people to kill their hearts. Even if Li Zicheng escaped by chance, it was no longer very threatening to the Ming Dynasty.

So Zhu Cixuan and Song Xiance had the same idea. Even if Li Zicheng was alive, the court might send Jinyiwei to assassinate him secretly. But on the surface, Li Zicheng had already died in battle.

In other words, at this time, Li Zicheng had completely become a fake. The true is fake and the false is real. Li Zicheng no longer has the power to prove his identity. He raised the banner of Li Zicheng's rebellion and no one would follow him to the death.

In fact, Li Zicheng was not dead. In the melee of Luozao Valley, Kong Xiangxin and Hu's army's reinforcements arrived. The general situation of the bandits was gone.

Liu Zongmin knew very well that they could not escape at this time. They were captured with only one end, which was Lingchi. Gao Yingxiang, the king of rebellion, was taken to the capital and executed by Lingchi.

If you die in battle, you will die for death. There is no Li Zicheng in the world, and there is no other Liu Zongmin.

So, Liu Zongmin advised Li Zicheng that we must find a way to survive, even if we pretend to surrender first, and then wait for an opportunity to escape.

Li Zicheng, who was red-eyed, could still listen to the advice that he would kill all the officers and soldiers until the last moment of his life.

Seeing that the persuasion was fruitless, Liu Zongmin knocked Li Zicheng fainted with a knife. Then he pulled out Li Zicheng's clothes and found a subordinate who was about the same height and appearance as a scapegoat.

Liu Zongmin killed that subordinate, exchanged his and Li Zicheng's clothes, and then poked the body to pieces. The terrain of Luozao Valley was dangerous, and the deep valley was covered with towering trees and rocks.

Several personal soldiers who were swearing to be loyal to their lives buried Liu Zongmin and Li Zicheng under a fallen leaf. Then, the personal soldiers led the officers and soldiers away.

In this way, after dark, Liu Zongmin wanted to escape with Li Zicheng. But he found that the lights were brightly lit around and there were officers and soldiers everywhere. There was no way, so Liu Zongmin had to hide in a mud pit with Li Zicheng. He covered his body with rotten leaves. The officers and soldiers searched several times, but fortunately, no trace of the two were found.

In fact, it was not until Song Xiance built the tomb for Li Zicheng and buried the bodies of the dead in battle with his subordinates. The army withdrew from Luozao Valley, and Liu Zongmin and Li Zicheng were hungry for three days and three nights.

The two knew Song Xiance's power, and they did not dare to show up until the officers and soldiers dispersed. Until the night was dark and windy, they escaped in a hurry.

The vast seas are vast, and there is no place for two people to see. Li Zicheng couldn't help but sigh: "Liu Zongmin, you are right. Today is different from the past, and I am already at the end of my journey."

People's minds change because of the decay of the Ming Dynasty. But now the crown prince emerged and helped the generals of Daxia. At this time, Li Zicheng could no longer inspire people.

Liu Zongmin had already seen it thoroughly, and he knew they were finished. Li Zicheng was discouraged and complained that Liu Zongmin should not save him: "Brother, Gu once lived with millions of soldiers. I never thought that you were the only one who could be with Gu today. You shouldn't save me, even if you are alone, where should you go?"

Liu Zongmin suddenly said, "King Chuang, do you know Lingquan Zen Temple? Perhaps, it will be your and me."

Li Zicheng was stunned and then remembered that his troops entered Huguang. When the limelight was getting more and more popular, he once plundered the land of Huguang. Later, when he passed by Shimen County, he heard that there was a Taoist monk in Lingquan Zen Temple. So Li Zicheng took the lead.

Zen Master Wutong, the host of Lingquan Zen Temple, once suggested to Li Zicheng that he would create less killing karma to avoid blessings.

At that time, Li Zicheng didn't care at all, saying that he had been in the world for decades, who could do anything to me?

Zen Master Wutong shook his head: The King of Chuang will lose the world in the future. If there is another day, please put down the butcher's knife and become a Buddha. The gate of Lingquan Zen Temple is always open for the King of Chuang. Zen Master Wutong is willing to influence the King of Chuang with Buddhism, and the sea of ​​suffering is boundless. It is the shore that turns back.

Given that the other party was a master monk in the past, Li Zicheng just smiled and didn't care. Now thinking about it, all this seemed to be within the expectations of Zen Master Wutong. Because the Zen Master at that time also said that the Ming court had not yet exhausted its energy, and a savior would appear in the East Palace.

Jiashan Temple is also known as Lingquan Zen Temple. In the 11th year of Xiantong in the Tang Dynasty, the great monk Shanhui was given the title of monks to open mountains and build temples. It enjoys the reputation of "the imperial cultivation of the three dynasties", and is known as the "Qimaguan Mountain Gate". By the Ming Dynasty, due to the continuous wars and fire, most of the temples were destroyed and Buddhist affairs declined, with only more than 60 monks.

Later, the Great Monk Fengtian Yu stationed here and led all monks to build a temple to restart the Zen Pass. The scale was much higher than that of the Tang, Song and Yuan dynasties. It was expanded with the Great Hall, the Great Compassion Hall, the Sutra Hall, the Heavenly King Hall, Weituo Village, the Mountain Gate, the Yonghua Pavilion, the Ink Sharing, the Jade Seal Well, the Release Pool, the Talin Forest, the Purple Stone Monument, the Bells and Drum Tower, etc., which were known as the "famous temple in the south of Chu".
