In the late Ming Dynasty, Buddhism gradually declined, and the temple was once again facing ruin. At that time, the government transformed the Longzang Temple into a patrol office. In the sixth year of Shunzhi in the Qing Dynasty, Shangkexi, the king of Pingnan, invaded Guangzhou, and the Longzang Temple was burned in the war and became a ruin. As for this story, it was also mentioned in the 18th City Wall of Guangzhou. After Shangkexi breached Guangzhou, a large-scale massacre was carried out. It is said that more than 7, innocent people were killed, and the bodies were piled up outside the East Gate of Guangzhou City. You can see the corpse mountain three miles away, which is called the "East Gate Tomb", which is very tragic. Later, Shang Kexi felt guilty and decided to build a temple. Since then, "his butcher knife has become a Buddha." He summoned a large number of monks, collected a large number of high-quality nanmu from King Annan, donated his own salary, and personally supervised it, imitating the official temple system of Jingshi, and rebuilding the temple with Lingnan local style. At the same time, three statues of Buddha III were cast in brass, each of which was 6 meters high and weighed 1 tons, and they were enshrined in the Daxiong Hall of the temple.
