In order to settle him down, this temple was built at the northern foot of Shaoshi Mountain at the foot of Wuru Peak in Songshan Mountain.

He was elected as the chief captain of the Shaolin Guard Corps, organized the guard corps, trained fighting skills to fight bandits, and maintained the peace of the temple and dozens of surrounding villages, and was known as the living Buddha of Shaolin.
