The next morning, Wushuang dispatched over a thousand soldiers to Lingjiu Mountain. These soldiers found Xu Sheng and
obeyed his command. Wushuang learned from Luan Yong that Luan Ying was trapped in Lingjiu Palace, her fate unknown. She issued an edict
promoting Xu Sheng to Military Commander of the Luoxie region, responsible for suppressing the rebels in Lingjiu Palace. She also specifically instructed Xu Sheng:
if anything happened to Luan Ying, kill all the monks of Lingjiu Palace. Meanwhile, the garrisons throughout Tibet received
orders from the Prince of Zhenxi to cooperate with local officials in arresting all those involved in the rebellion.

Xu Sheng instructed that Luan Ying be sent to the Prince of Zhenxi's palace first, so that she could rest assured. Although Lin Chong had cured Luan Ying of
the Yin Spirit Palm poison, she still had many sword and knife wounds that required treatment and rest. Luan Ying was reluctant to leave,
but she was also worried about her younger brother Luan Yong's injuries and wanted to visit him. She embraced Xu Sheng and kissed him for a long time before
reluctantly bidding farewell to her beloved Xu Lang and her adoptive father Lin Chong. She was then escorted down the mountain by a dozen soldiers assigned by Xu Sheng.

Xu Sheng ordered the remaining soldiers to surround Lingjiu Palace and shouted to the monks inside: "Put down your weapons and
stand in the open space outside Lingjiu Palace. Anyone who
disobeys will be killed
without mercy." Most of the monks inside already knew that the Living Buddha Gushi had been killed the previous night, and the riots down the mountain would soon be quelled by the Prince of Zhenxi; further resistance was pointless. However, five or six of the Living Buddha Gushi's close disciples attempted to set themselves on fire, perishing with Lingjiu Palace.
The other monks, naturally unwilling to die with them, swarmed forward, seized the men, bound them with chains
and ropes, and dragged them out of the temple.

Lin Chong, having been in Tibet for several years to avenge Master Huijue, had already
secretly obtained a list of all the disciples in Lingjiu Palace who had practiced the Yinling Gong. Xu Sheng assigned several
soldiers who spoke Tibetan to assist their master in identifying all the Lingjiu Palace disciples on the list, then
taking the back mountain for execution. Including some bandit leaders involved in the rebellion, Xu Sheng and Lin Chong killed over a
hundred people on Lingjiu Mountain, burning their bodies and burying them.

Xu Sheng led his men in a thorough search of Lingjiu Palace, finding not only much gold and silver jewelry but
also two secret chambers filled with bones in the back mountain. According to other monks, the remains included captured
merchants and travelers (who were killed after their goods and luggage were stolen), executed
slaves and monks (for their transgressions), and young girls killed over the years for practicing Yinling Gong. These
remains were used to craft various objects, including prayer beads worn around monks' necks. Xu Sheng had his soldiers count them;
there were over three hundred complete skulls alone!

Deep beneath the main hall of Lingjiu Palace, a dungeon was discovered, containing several emaciated, poorly clothed
individuals. One of them was none other than the Tibetan Living Buddha, Master Sanggen, who had been missing for over a decade. Sanggen and Gushi belonged to the same
sect but had different masters. He had always been at odds with Gushi and was captured and imprisoned by Gushi's men. When he
was rescued was on the verge of death. Lin Chong, upon seeing this man, whispered a few words to his disciple Xu Sheng, who then ordered
several soldiers to fetch a physician to treat Master Sanggen.

After returning to his manor from Lingjiu Palace, the chieftain of Tusang immediately dispatched his trusted men to
various villages, towns, and streets, where they would beat drums and gongs and shout, "The Han people's occupation of the Tubo and Uyghur peoples
has aroused the wrath of both heaven and man! The Living Buddha Gushi of Lingjiu Palace has obtained the decree of Buddha and the gods and
has killed the evil Zhenxi King. Now is the time for everyone to rise up
and take revenge on the Han people! You may plunder all the shops and houses owned by the Han people, as well as their grain, cloth, gold, silver, and women. Whoever takes it all keeps it!"

At first, the Tubo people watching found it unbelievable: How could the Zhenxi King, a figure like a god, be
killed? Were her hundreds of thousands of troops just for show? But after hearing it many times, some
restless went to plunder the shops owned by the Han people. The shop owners and their employees naturally refused to allow it,
and a fierce battle ensued, resulting in casualties on both sides. This incident alarmed the local government, which dispatched constables to arrest some of the troublemakers.
After returning to the yamen and clarifying the situation, they sent even more constables to arrest those who had incited the riot.

Local officials in the Ming Dynasty were assessed annually by their superiors, and the imperial court also had censors stationed throughout the country
to supervise them. Therefore, they dared not be negligent. Empress Hu Sanniang particularly admired those who were courageous and proactive
, and had repeatedly commended such officials. In the Ming Dynasty, it
was unacceptable to shirk responsibility or muddle through. If one failed to manage their duties or acted against the laws of the Ming Dynasty, they would be reprimanded or warned by their superiors at best, and at worst
lose their position or be punished according to the law.

Most of the people Tusang sent to incite the riot were arrested by the authorities; the rest
escaped . Seeing that this tactic was ineffective, he had no choice but to take a desperate gamble and personally lead the charge. He knew he didn't have much time left;
the authorities would soon track him down.
