On the ninth day of April in the 3417th year of the Xiling Great Rule, the Master ascended to heaven to manifest his sage and went to the Kingdom of Haotian. That night, Xiling was spread all over the Taoist temples in the world. After spending many teleportation formations, the news spread throughout the world.

So the war began. On the vast front from east to west and from south to north, the cavalry of the Xiling Temple, the armies of all countries in the world, and the believers who believed in Haotian, under the leadership of the temple priests, approached the border of the Tang Dynasty step by step.

!

But on Peach Mountain, there is peace and tranquility. The peach blossoms bloom with fragrance, and the peach petals falling on the soil stubbornly display their final beauty.

On this day, there were several cranes croaking from Taoshan, which made the priests of the temple feel a little confused. How could there be cranes croaking in Taoshan?

The priests who did not leave with the temple's cavalry put down their work, walked out of the Taoist temple, and came outside the Taoist temple to see what was going on.

"There is someone on the back of the white crane!"

A breath of surprise attracted the attention of many priests. Although they are aloof practitioners to the world and are existences that are difficult for ordinary people to touch, seeing a white crane carrying people flying in the sky is something that has never happened before.

.

A certain red-clothed priest from the Tianyu Academy asked: "Who could it be? Who dares to do this on Taoshan Mountain?"

In his opinion, apart from Yan Se, only the disciple of Zhi Shou Guan would be able to do things on Taoshan without any scruples.

Cheng Lixue, who walked out of the Taoist Temple, supported the Great Priest Tianyu to walk out of the Taoist Temple. After seeing the Great Priest Tianyu, the priests who gathered outside the Taoist Temple finally left.

Cheng Lixue looked at the white crane hanging in the sky and said: "Su Xuan is back. He is riding a crane. Not long ago, the dark disk sent news. There was a rumor in Chang'an City one day that a banished immortal rode a crane into the sky. Now I think this person is

Su Xuan is gone."

In fact, he did not want Su Xuan to come back. Although the war was about to begin and the temple needed Zhishou Guan to take action, in his opinion, Su Xuan, a disciple of Zhishou Guan from the Taoist sect, seemed to have no faith in Haotian. Such a person had no regard for the temple.

Not necessarily a good thing.

The great priest of Tianyu looked at the white crane that was about to descend to the ground, and said solemnly: "Su Xuan's return to the temple, for Haotian, I don't know whether it is a blessing or a curse. The temple's spies at Zhishou Temple wrote a letter saying that six

The Heavenly Book is no longer in Zhishouguan, Li Xue, in whose hands do you think the Heavenly Book will be?"

He is the oracle, and he can understand the oracle of Haotian. He once saw in Chang'an that Haotian would return to Taoshan, so Haotian would definitely return to Taoshan. At that time, he could not understand, far above the blue sky,

How could Haotian in that divine land return to Taoshan?

It turns out that the Master ascended to heaven to show his holiness and blocked Haotian's way back to the Kingdom of God, so Haotian went to Taoshan to listen to the devout beliefs of the believers.

Cheng Lixue looked at the white crane that had crossed Taoshan and flew towards Zhishou Temple, and said with worry: "It is indeed dangerous to have six volumes of heavenly books in the hands of one person."

He knew very well that the Book of Heaven was an extremely sacred treasure of the Taoist sect. If such a treasure were used by Su Xuan to deal with Haotian, it would be the greatest evil.

"This is indeed very dangerous, but fortunately the master of the temple is finally coming back. This Taoist disciple who knows how to watch the temple should rest for a while."

"Ahem!" The great priest Tianyu coughed several times. After wiping away the blood coughed up from the corner of his mouth, he returned to the Taoist temple with the help of Cheng Lixue.

------

The white crane screamed and stopped outside the gate of Zhishou Temple. Zhishou Temple was one of the backhands left by the gambler of the founder of the Taoist sect. The stupid crane he just caught could not enter Zhishou Temple at all.

After the white crane stopped, Su Xuan and Mo Shanshan jumped off the back of the white crane and walked to the gate of Zhishou Guanshan.

Mo Shanshan sensed the formation covering the mountain gate and frowned: "The mountain gate formation that Zhi Shou Guan has experienced and maintained by countless people is indeed extremely powerful, but Zhi Shou Guan is a little different from what I imagined."

When she was on Baihe's back, she had also seen the luxurious Taoist temple on Taoshan Mountain. She knew that the environment of the watchman was much worse than that on the mountain behind the academy, which really surprised him.

Su Xuan gently touched the formation. After he smiled slightly, he explained: "This is the formation set up by the gambler, the founder of the Taoist sect. If there is no one to guide you, it will be a natural chasm. However, there is no way to know how to watch."

It’s very simple, it’s nothing more than seven in and thirteen out.”

After Mo Shanshan thought for a while, he said: "There are six steps here. Thirteen minus six equals seven. Only by retreating to the end can you enter the Zhishou Temple. But why use such a method?"

Su Xuan took Mo Shanshan's jade hand, turned around and walked backwards up the six steps, then stepped back, and then went up the seventh step. The mountain door of Zhishou Temple opened. When the stupid crane entered Zhishou Temple, Su Xuan calmly

Explained: "For outsiders, one must know how to advance and guard what is retreating; only by using retreat as advance can one advance and know how to observe."

"But the fact is that the founder of the Taoist sect was an old gambler before he became a practitioner. Every time he lost money in the casino, he always lamented that he borrowed ten thousand taels of silver, only received seven thousand taels, and had to pay back ten thousand taels.

Three thousand taels, so the founder lost too much and had no money to pay back, so he started to practice. After he became successful in practice, he went to the casino again and asked the boss why he had to go in seven and get out thirteen."

After hearing this, Mo Shanshan smiled and asked, "What happened next?"

Su Xuan continued: "What happened later? The founder was very angry when he knew the answer, so he killed the boss with a sword and then went to preach to the world."

He couldn't help but feel a little sympathy for the gamblers of the Taoist ancestors in this world. Generally speaking, nine in and thirteen out, seven in and thirteen out, it was indeed a bit too dark.

After entering Zhishou Temple, Su Xuan led Mo Shanshan along the road he had walked for many years to the lakeside where many fruit trees were planted.

Before Su Xuan could stand still, Yuchen hurried over from a distance and said, "You're back, are you still leaving?"

Su Xuan looked at Yuchen, nodded and said: "If I don't leave now, I'm tired of staying in this world, so I want to take my family Shanshan to Zhishou Temple to rest for a few days before the war starts."

After hearing this, Yuchen looked at Mo Shanshan next to Su Xuan, and he praised: "Climbing Taoshan by crane, you two are indeed a couple of gods and immortals, but as the elder, Master Nephew Su, I have to give you a few words of advice, since we both love each other."

If you are destined to live forever, then treat Lord Mo well, otherwise I will not spare you."

He thought of the Tantai family, the legitimate daughter who was still in the academy. Although the Tantai family was a large family in Xiling, there was no need for Shouguan to marry the Tantai family. Therefore, for his nephew, Lord Mo Shan was a good match.

.

Mo Shanshan's face turned red, and she saluted respectfully: "Thank you, Uncle Yuchen."

Su Xuan looked at Yuchen and said, "Uncle Master, how could I make my family Shanshan unhappy?"

Yuchen looked at the two of them and said: "You were supposed to come back secretly, but now the news of your return can't be concealed at all. The headmaster is planning to use troops against Qingxia. If you leave late, I'm afraid you will have to go to Qingxia."

Once."
