Daytime.

The incense of the Damen Temple is vigorous, and the voices of people are full of excitement.

Night.

The cold moonlight illuminated the stone steps, reflecting the mottled red walled courtyard.

The big trees outside the temple gate also left a few dark shadows, and there was a feeling of dampness and coldness in the hot autumn.

"Knock knock!"

Mu Zhengyang opened the copper ring and knocked on the big wooden door, and the sound spread far away in the silent night.

After two or three minutes, the temple gate was opened with the sound of 'babbling'.

A bare head poked out of the door, about twenty years old, wearing a wide gray monk's robe, a chubby round face, and his eyes were almost slit, looking at Mu Zhengyang and said: "Donor, this courtyard does not accept pilgrims at night, please come again tomorrow!"

Mu Zhengyang shook his head and said with a slight smile, "I am a friend of Master Yuantong, and you said that the old man of Tiannan Mountain Wangri Cliff is here!"

"Tiannan Mountain, Wangri Cliff, are you the shepherd?", the monk's chubby round face, his eyes were slightly slit, and he opened slightly.

"Hmm", Mu Zhengyang nodded.

"Haha, when the master came back from Tiannan Mountain that day, he immediately took down the 'Xingshu No. 1' hanging on the wall of the room, closed the door and tore it to smithereens, and then burned it to ashes!" The monk smiled, opened half of the large wooden door of the temple, opened his eyes a little more, and said, "I have always heard the master talk about you these days, but I didn't expect you to come to the door at night, come in!

Damen Temple is the most famous temple in Xizhong County, and after entering the gate, there is a bluestone paved courtyard with a tall incense burner in the middle of the courtyard.

Mu Zhengyang walked in the courtyard, his nose could still smell the residual smell of incense during the day, and beyond that was the Heavenly King Palace.

The temple is dedicated to Maitreya Buddha, and a circle of candles is lit around it.

Passing through the Hall of the Heavenly King is the Hall of the Great Majesty, where a huge statue of the eighteen Arhats of Shakyamuni Buddha sits in the center, and the incense is still lingering in the big night.

Behind the Daeungbojeon is the Zhaitang, where the monks of Daimonji Temple eat on weekdays.

Behind the hall is the monk's house, and there is a meditation room in the middle of the monk's house.

Mu Zhengyang faintly heard the sound of chanting scriptures coming from inside, but the voice was very weak.

Gradually, it stopped.

Mu Zhengyang's self-cultivation exercise entered the third layer, and he could clearly perceive the wind and grass within five hundred meters, and he heard someone standing up in the meditation room.

A tall monk in a yellow monk's robe pushed open the door of the meditation room, looked at Mu Zhengyang standing below with an unexpected expression, and said in surprise: "Mu Jushi, why are you here at night?"

"I'm here to stay overnight!", Mu Zhengyang said lightly.

"It is naturally welcome for the shepherd to come and spend the night, Mingle, you go and clean up a house for the herdsman!", the Yuantong monk highly admires Mu Zhengyang's calligraphy, and it stands to reason that Mu Zhengyang should be warmly entertained, but his expression is very cold, and he stepped back to the meditation room, and before closing the door, he also specially advised, "Mujushi, it's late, rest early, it's cold outside, it's easy to catch a cold!"

After Monk Yuantong finished speaking, he returned to the meditation room and closed the door again.

Although at night, the two were separated by six or seven meters, Mu Zhengyang could clearly see the face of Monk Yuantong.

When he was in Tiannan Mountain before, the monk Yuantong was in good spirits, but now his face is full of tiredness.

Mu Zhengyang didn't make a sound, followed behind Mingle, and went to a southernmost room.

Mingle opened the door and said, "Mujushi, you are here!"

When Mu Zhengyang was about to leave Mingle, he suddenly asked Mingle, "You have been dreaming a lot lately, haven't you?"

Mingle's expression changed, his eyelids bounced up and down, and he shook his head and denied, "Our monks are all empty, and we have no desires, so how can we often dream?"

Mu Zhengyang closed the door, when he was on the top of the Iron Mountain, he observed that the Damen Temple Jin Toad Wangyue Feng Shui Bureau's earth qi spirit was disordered, people have lived in this environment for a long time, and their brain waves were disturbed by the disordered electromagnetic field, so they would frequently have all kinds of dreams, and when he said that, Mingle's expression was very unnatural, and what he said later may be covering up some facts!

"What the hell is wrong with the world?"

Mu Zhengyang couldn't figure it out for a while, so he read "Mencius" in the room for a few hours, and continued to deduce "Qiankun Haoran Qi Cultivation Formula".

Midnight.

Mu Zhengyang lay on the bed and soon fell asleep.

"This king is unwilling! This king is unwilling......"

A majestic voice came from Mu Zhengyang's ears, and there seemed to be boundless resentment in the majesty, as if there was an active volcano in his chest that wanted to erupt.

The night was as dark as ink.

Mu Zhengyang followed the sound and saw a vague shadow.

The shadow was tall and mighty, but headless, and held a steel knife, and roared in his mouth, 'This king is not reconciled!'.

Mu Zhengyang was shocked in his heart, this is ......

The shadow seemed to have spotted Mu Zhengyang, and frantically waved the steel knife in his hand and rushed towards Mu Zhengyang.

Mu Zhengyang woke up suddenly, and he was still lying in the house of Damen Temple.

But the dream just now reappeared in his mind like a movie picture.

"Claiming to be the king, armed with a steel sword, without a head...... Could it be him?", Mu Zhengyang quickly remembered a historical figure.

Chuang Wang Li Zicheng!

Li Zicheng was one of the leaders of the rebel army in the late Ming Dynasty, Chongzhen rebelled in the second year, and later was a general under Gao Yingxiang, the king of Chuang.

Courageous, strategic, and strategic, the Xingyang Conference put forward a plan for dividing troops and orienting the troops and attacking the battle in four directions, which was approved by the leaders of all departments.

Gao Yingxiang was ambushed, defeated and captured.

Li Zicheng succeeded to the title of King Chuang, put forward slogans such as 'Juntian is exempt from taxation', which was welcomed by the broad masses of the people, and the army grew to one million people, becoming the main force in the rebel army.

In the sixteenth year of Chongzhen, he called the king of Xinshun in Xiangyang, and annihilated the main force of Sun Chuanting, the governor of Shaanxi in the Ming Dynasty, in Ruzhou, Henan, and occupied Xi'an by victory.

In the first month of the following year, the Dashun regime was established, with the year name Yongchang, and soon conquered Beijing to overthrow the Ming Dynasty.

April.

Dolgon led the Eight Banners Army and Wu Sangui, the general soldier of the Ming Dynasty, to join forces and fight Li Zicheng inside and outside the Shanhai Pass.

Li Zicheng was defeated, withdrew from Beijing, and led his army to resist in Henan and Shaanxi.

Shunzhi two years.

The Dashun army was defeated one after another, and was cut off from the back road, and fled to the foothills of Tieshan Mountain in Xizhong County.

Li Zicheng led more than 20 light horsemen to climb the mountain to explore the way, and was killed by the local militia armed Jiang Dayan, and his body was secretly buried.

Next to the winding mountain road at the entrance of Iron Mountain, there is still a Li Zicheng curtain.

But in the field of historiography, Li Zicheng's death has always been a mystery, and some say that Li Zicheng died in other places, and there are even those who say that Li Zicheng became a monk.

"Could it be that Li Zicheng really died in Tieshan, Xizhong County?"

Mu Zhengyang rarely dreamed since he was a child, and he had such a strange dream just after he fell asleep in Damen Temple, and it was very real, and he was full of doubts in his heart.
