The old white man has a face as cold as frost. He has not been seen for a few months. He looks like a different person. He is thin and skinny, with wrinkles piled up on his face, like a dying person.
He didn't speak where he sat, just waved his hand and then looked at the two people next to him.
They were two women wearing the clothes of Maoshan disciples.
No one else knows these two women, but Xiao Yu and Qinglong must know each other if they are here, because they are Xiao Xue and Qinglong's wife Tang Yan.
Since the leader of the Zhuge Alliance was replaced, Xiao Yu and his family were expelled. Now Xiao Qiang and his wife have returned to Shimo Village, and when Xiao Xue knew that Maoshan was in danger, she came here to help without hesitation.
As for Qinglong's wife, needless to say, she has a son whose life and death are unknown, so how can she stay at home and wait for Qinglong's return?
After Tang Yan lost her son, she first called the police, but there was no news. Then she asked someone to tell a divination, but was told that he was dead.
Tang Yan was so angry that she almost threw herself into the river. Fortunately, Xiao Xue stopped her in time and prevented the tragedy from happening.
After that, Xiao Xue told Tang Yan about Xiao Yu's fake death, and encouraged Tang Yan to wait for Qinglong to come back.
It took several months to wait, from the white snow to the branches of the willows.
But the situation is becoming more and more urgent, and Xiao Yu and the others have no news.
Lao Bai glanced at Xiao Xue and the others, then waved his hands and said:
"Each of you should go back and rest. Tomorrow you will each perform your duties and practice the talismans. Let the lay disciples continue to inquire about the news. We have ghosts and immortals standing guard, and those forces will not dare to go up the mountain casually."
A group of disciples were helpless at this time. This was already the tenth time Lao Bai said this.
"Uncle Master, although the major mountain gates have the intention to enter Maoshan, they have also taken it into consideration. This disciple has a plan, but I don't know whether to say it or not."
One of the slightly fat disciples took a step forward, bowed and said.
"If you have any plans, tell me directly."
Lao Bai sat up straight, raised the dust in his hand, and said with a smile.
"Although the Xuanmen forces are powerful, they also have scruples.
Uncle Master once said that Xuanmen dare not hurt innocent people, so we might as well use some means to let people go to the mountain for pilgrimage. As long as there are mortals worshiping on the mountain, even if those Xuanmen forces come, they will not dare to take any action.
If you take action, innocent people will be hurt and the debt will be increased.
Even if the Exorcist League sends people, they won't dare to act recklessly."
The fat disciple expressed his thoughts.
Although it is inappropriate to let ordinary people serve as a shield for Maoshan, it is still a good idea at this time.
"I heard from the great monk that the Buddha's light appeared in Songshan Mountain, attracting people to worship. If we also use this method, it might be of some use!
It's just that Maoshan has not been opened, and it has not appealed to heaven and earth to invite Taoist ancestors. If this is the case, doesn't it mean that others will leave something to say?"
Lao Bai first praised the other party, and then expressed his thoughts.
"Although the gate of the mountain has not been announced to heaven and earth, ordinary people do not know it. In addition, our Maoshan Congli has already spread the message to Jiuzhou. Now we only need one person to guide us, and everything will happen naturally.
At that time, even if Xuanmen asks for guilt, it will only be until the people take it upon themselves to do so, and it is not our instigation, so what does it have to do with us?"
The fat disciple still explained.
"This is a strategy to fool the people. It cannot be used until a critical moment. However, you can go down and prepare. How to do it specifically? You can make a plan and leave it to me later."
Lao Bai did not agree directly. The so-called harm to the country and the people was not groundless. Once it was confirmed, it would be a fatal blow to Maoshan.
"Yes, disciple, resign."
Several disciples left, and then another disciple came forward and handed over an account book.
"Master, the operation of Maoshan is now seriously out of balance. If there is no income, in one month, all the disciples will have nothing to eat."
The disciple looked solemn, as if he mustered up the courage to say this.
"I know, I will think of a way, please go down."
Lao Bai took the account book, waved his hand, and then a group of disciples filed out.
Seeing the disciples leaving, Xiao Xue hesitated and took out a card from his pocket.
"Uncle Bai, this is some money I have accumulated over the years. It is estimated to be more than one million. Maoshan is reaching a critical moment. Let's use it first to tide over the difficulties."
Xiao Xue knew that Lao Bai basically spent all his wealth in order to reopen Maoshan, and the same was true for Xiao Yu.
So she must support her, not to fight, but she can still get some private money.
"Okay, Xiao Xue, Tang Yan, I have a hunch that Xiao Yu and the others will be back soon. You have to have confidence. I will go down the mountain tomorrow and I will leave this place to you."
Lao Bai stood up tremblingly and took a long breath. Over the past few years, he had not practiced well, so he had been on the second floor of Guyi and had not yet made a breakthrough!
Now that Maoshan is in crisis, he also needs to recruit some foreign aid.
"Well, Uncle Bai, just go ahead. If someone dares to go up the mountain to look for trouble, I will let them step on my body."
Xiao Xue looked firm. When she was in school, she only heard that people are cunning and society is dangerous!
But after being together with Xiao Yu, I realized that Taoism is a hundred times more dangerous than the mortal world!
"Okay, you guys go to bed first, I'll go to the Ghost Tower."
The Ghost Pagoda is on another peak of Maoshan Mountain. There is a big white lantern hanging at the top of the tower, as if it is for someone's funeral.
Although it didn't look festive, Lao Bai couldn't help it, because it was arranged by the ghost fairy, who said he could summon the surrounding little ghosts to help them gather information.
Boom...
As soon as Lao Bai stood up, a thunder suddenly sounded over the tower, making the whole world tremble.
Then three people and one beast appeared in the sky, it was Wu Xuan and the others who came back.
“As expected of something made by a top designer, it’s not bad.”
Wu Xuan looked at the layout of Maoshan below and was very satisfied, and then he went directly to the Demon Tower with the female ghost in white.
There must be a demon when something goes wrong. The sudden thunder caused some disciples who had not yet fallen asleep to run out of the room, but found nothing.
Lao Bai stood at the door of the demon tower with a suspicious look on his face, because he had not opened his eyes and could not see ghosts. He also did not think that where the ghost fairy Sha Tian was, there would be other ghosts looking for trouble.
But at this moment, the lantern at the entrance of the ghost tower swayed, and the ghost fairy Shatian suddenly appeared at the entrance of the ghost tower. He raised his fist at Wu Xuan and others above.
Wu Xuan and Sha Tian Guixian knew each other, so they were not attacked.
Wu Xuan just glanced at the other party, and then flew directly towards Lao Bai.
"Taoist Master Bai, you are well."
The ethereal voice suddenly sounded in Lao Bai's ears, which made Lao Bai startled at first, and then a burst of ecstasy.
This man's voice sounded so familiar to him that he naturally knew it was Wu Xuan's voice.
"Wu Xuan, are you back?"
Lao Bai looked at the empty front, and then saw several figures appearing in front of him, it was the female ghost in white and others.
"Taoist Master Bai, fortunately, Wu Xuan is back, but Xiao Yu is back!"
"Haha, it doesn't matter. Do your best and obey fate. You can't force it. Please come quickly."
Lao Bai hadn't been so happy for a long time, and Wu Xuan's arrival made him confident again.
The three of them and the three ghosts chatted in the demon tower until dawn, and then everyone dispersed. However, Lao Bai went down the mountain to prepare some foreign aid for Maoshan!
