After Li Zicheng withdrew from Beijing, he retreated all the way south to Jiugong Mountain in Hubei Province, where he was heavily surrounded by Qing soldiers and local militia forces. Mrs. Gao ordered her righteous daughter Huimei to lead the female soldiers of the Zhongzhen Battalion to escort Li Yan, who looked similar to Li Zicheng, to break out and attract the attention of Qing soldiers and local militia groups. Li Zicheng disguised himself as an ordinary general of the Dashun Army. Under the protection of his daughter Li Cuiwei and several personal guards, he bypassed the siege of the Qing soldiers and local militia and went to Shimen Jiashan Temple to hide. When he walked to a trail, he met Cheng Liumei. With the help of Cheng Liumei, he broke out of the siege and came to Shimen Jiashan Temple with Li Zicheng. Li Zicheng cut off his hair and became a monk and hid in Jiashan Temple. Under the arrangement of Song Xiance, he secretly contacted the rebels in various places with the intention of making a comeback. Cheng Liumei temporarily stayed in a farmhouse next to the temple. When she learned that the person she rescued was Li Zicheng, she looked for opportunities to assassinate him several times, but at the critical moment, she was willing to give up. After Li Zicheng became a monk, he discussed Zen ideas with the Buddhist master Elder Baimei of the temple every day. Elder Baimei showed great righteousness and finally made him completely awaken and willing to give up everything and escape from the world of mortals. Elder Baimei then gave Li Zicheng a dharma title, Fengtianyu. Seeing that Li Zicheng was sincerely accepting the precepts, Song Xiance urged him to leave without hope. After hearing the news, Mrs. Gao and others rushed to the temple, but Li Zicheng sat quietly in the meditation room to avoid seeing him. Li Guo was about to kill himself in grief and anger, but Huimei firmly persuaded him to stop him. Li Guo, who had seen through life and death, took the initiative to become a monk and serve Li Zicheng. Elder Baimei ordained him and gave him the title Yefu. Mrs. Gao swung her sword to cut off a strand of black hair, ordered someone to give it to Li Zicheng, then turned around and left with the person. Li Zicheng held his black silk stockings and stood on the high platform looking at the backs of Mrs. Gao and the others.
