Pham Bach Ho coordinated with Ngo Quyen to bring troops to destroy Kieu Cong Tien and defeat the Southern Han army on the Bach Dang River in the year of Mau Tuat (938). When Ngo Quyen died, Duong Tam Kha usurped the throne, Pham Bach Ho and Do Canh Thac overthrew Duong Tam Kha and Ngo Xuong Van, Ngo Quyen's son, ascended the throne. This period was called Later Ngo Vuong. In 965, the King of Later Ngo died, and the country's heroes rose to fame in each region.

One day, when it rained heavily, Long Dinh sought shelter and saw a temple on the riverbank. He asked the villagers: "What god is the temple worshiping?" sacred?” said that "this is the support of a continent, the ceremony of praying for rain and stopping is very suitable". Vuong then said loudly: "If God can make wind and rain, then try to make this side of the river stop and the other side of the river rain. That would be truly sacred!" After saying that, it was true that half of the river on the other side was raining very heavily, and half of the river on the other side was very heavy. This is the only cool breeze. Long Dinh did not get wet, so it was surprising that he ordered the temple to be repaired. Over time, the Cloud Temple has been restored and remodeled many times.
