In a blink of an eye, half a month passed.

It was the height of summer and even the wind blowing into the temple was hot, making people unhappy and losing interest.

Wan Shun stayed in Shaolin Temple for half a month.

That day, he finally couldn't help but find Abbot Sanzang, hoping that he could ask Commander Wang about the situation outside.

Abbot Sanzang naturally agreed to Wan Shun's request.

He also wanted to know what the current situation in Kaifeng City was, and whether the Black Fox Gang was still trying to capture fortune tellers.

So he wrote a letter and asked someone to deliver it to Commander Wang.

……

As half a month passed.

The trip of Lin Xuan, Tang Xiaolong, Chen Xiaohu and Hua Xiaolan to Bashu has come to an end.

During these days, several people have been to Wushan, Fengdu, Qingcheng Mountain and Dujiangyan.

In the Qingcheng Mountain, there is also an old Taoist who is at the level of spiritual refinement. His swordsmanship is quite impressive, even better than that of Elder Longchuan.

Along the way, Lin Xuan and the other three often talked about martial arts, but more often about Buddhism and the mind.

In Lin Xuan's opinion, if Tang Xiaolong and the other two want to quickly advance to the Spirit Refining Realm, they need to work hard on one hand, and on the other hand they also need to cultivate their minds. Otherwise, it will be difficult to control their minds, and then fill their minds with thoughts and let their spirits leave their bodies.

It is worth mentioning that Lin Xuan gained a lot of treasures on this trip with the help of the Cauldron of Fortune.

And his Cauldron of Creation once again condensed into a cloud.

The magical effect of the previous cloud was to speed up the passage of time, but the magical effect of this cloud is manifestation!

The one that manifested was naturally not Lin Xuan, but the Cauldron of Creation!

In other words, from now on, the Cauldron of Creation can be regarded as a magic weapon that he can use at will.

But Lin Xuan felt that it would be better not to use it unless necessary.

After all, if he were discovered by others, it would be difficult for him to explain.

Everyone is practicing martial arts and meditating, but you are secretly trying to become an immortal?
……

After finishing their trip in Bashu, the four returned to Yun'er's home and took them back to Qingshi Village.

A few days later.

Lin Xuan and the other three returned to Shaolin Temple.

As soon as he arrived at Shaolin Temple, Lin Xuan sensed an unusual aura!

He thought about it and checked, only to find that there were people living in the Dharma Courtyard.

That person had no cultivation at all, yet he was shrouded in a hazy mystery.

"When did outsiders start living in Master Gongjin's Dharma Courtyard?" Lin Xuan wondered.

But he remained calm and went back to the dormitory with Tang Xiaolong and Chen Xiaohu.

Simply settled.

Lin Xuan and three others went to the abbot's courtyard.

It has been more than a month since the four of them left Shaolin Temple. I wonder if the Black Fox Gang has continued to cause trouble during this period?

"Master, the disciples are back!"

Lin Xuan and three others walked in and spoke to Abbot Sanzang who was sitting upright.

"Ah."

Abbot Sanzang responded lightly, raised his eyes, and found that Tang Xiaolong and the other two had made considerable progress in their cultivation. It seemed that they had not neglected their practice while traveling down the mountain.

In front of the master, Lin Xuan and the others had no reason to be reserved. They briefly chatted with him about what they had seen and heard during the past few days, including the matter of the Water Palace Kingdom...

Then he got straight to the point and asked:
"Master, is there any important visitor to our Shaolin Temple? Why are you still staying in the Dharma Courtyard?"

Upon hearing this, Abbot Sanzang seemed to have some enlightenment:

"Oh, you mean Lord Wan?"

"Lord Wan?"

Lin Xuan frowned.

Ever since he was conferred the title of Marquis Xuanyong by the Emperor, Lin Xuan has gotten to know some officials in the imperial court.

But I just can’t remember who Lord Wan is?
It was the first time he had heard of it.

But... just because Lin Xuan doesn't know him doesn't mean Tang Xiaolong doesn't know him either.

As soon as Abbot Sanzang finished speaking, Tang Xiaolong immediately reacted and asked Abbot Sanzang for confirmation with excitement:
"Master, is this the world's number one fortune teller, Lord Wan Shunwan?"

"He once touched me when I was a child and said I could become a great general in the future!"

"Wan Shun, a fortune teller?"

Hearing this, Lin Xuan's heart moved.

I suddenly remembered an episode in the original plot where the Black Fox King sent people to search for a fortune teller in order to find the second volume of the Book of Power.

As far as I can remember, Commander Wang learned about this and specially set up a trap for the Black Fox King with Wan Shun.

Unexpectedly, the Black Fox King could not be killed!
Instead, he was injured and had to recuperate in Shaolin Temple for ten months.

Now he comes to Shaolin for no reason. Could it be that the Black Fox King is planning this?
From this point of view, this dormitory is really still harboring evil intentions!

Abbot Sanzang smiled and said:
"That's Lord Wan."

"Half a month ago, many fortune tellers in Kaifeng City disappeared, which aroused the vigilance of Commander Wang. He wrote a letter to Shaolin, and I asked your uncle Gongjin to go down the mountain to pick him up and bring him to the temple to avoid being captured by the Black Fox Gang."

"Now half a month has passed, the turmoil outside has calmed down, and he will return to Kaifeng City tomorrow."

"I see."

After learning the whole story, Tang Xiaolong suddenly understood.

With a thought, Tang Xiaolong recalled the scene when he first met him when he was young. He couldn't help but said to Abbot Sanzang:
"Master, what's the matter? Lord Wan is also my disciple's elder. I want to go and pay him a visit and ask him when I can become a general."

"Go."

Abbot Sanzang nodded and smiled.

As soon as Tang Xiaolong left, Chen Xiaohu heard that Lord Wan was very good at divination and became very interested.

After thinking about it, he ran out right after him:
"I'm going too! I also want Lord Wan to help me see what kind of person I will be in the future?"

"And I!"

Another person who couldn't stay was Hua Xiaolan.

She saw Xiaolong and Xiaohu had left, and wanted to follow them to see what was going on.

The only calm person on the field was Lin Xuan.

He was not very interested in Wan Shun, the world's number one fortune teller. Instead, he wanted to know why the Black Fox King was arresting fortune tellers so aggressively?
Could it be because of the second volume of the treasure book?

I don't know.

While Lin Xuan was thinking, Abbot Sanzang had been observing Lin Xuan's expression. Seeing that he was not disturbed by Wan Shun's matter, he became more certain of his previous guess.

The Bodhisattva Puji Guangwei that this boy mentioned when he returned from the future world was most likely himself!
Otherwise, if it were someone else, he would have been as impatient to go out and look for Wan Shun as Xiaolong, Xiaohu and Xiaolan.

But Abbot Sanzang saw through it but did not say anything. He just asked casually:
"Disciple, your journey is over. When do you plan to return home?"

"Tomorrow," Lin Xuan answered without hesitation.

Before Abbot Sanzang could speak, Lin Xuan smiled and said:

"I know what Master means. I will escort Master Wan back to the city tomorrow."

"Thank you for your hard work." Abbot Sanzang smiled relievedly.

……

This room.

Tang Xiaolong, Chen Xiaohu and Hua Xiaolan arrived at Damo Courtyard and found Wan Shun.

Ask him to predict your future.

Wan Shun had naturally heard of the names of these three people.

After the three men explained their purpose, he readily agreed.

……

Half an hour later, the three of them left Dharma Academy with satisfaction.

Wan Shun walked to the place where he was practicing respectfully, with a complicated look on his face, and asked him:

"Master, those three children must be the reincarnations of the three Shaolin monks from back then?"

"Lord Wan is indeed quite capable."

He opened his eyes respectfully and smiled deeply.

……

Back to the dormitory.

Seeing that their senior brother had not gone to Wan Shun for divination before, Tang Xiaolong and Chen Xiaohu couldn't help but ask.

In this regard, Lin Xuan naturally said that he was not interested.

They are going back to Kaifeng City tomorrow, and Lin Xuan also asked Xiaolong if he wanted to go back.

In response, Xiaolong shook his head.

His father was the prefect of Kaifeng and was so busy with work that sometimes he had difficulty taking care of himself.

Captain Cao's advice to him was somewhat useless, so it would be better for him to stay in Shaolin.

Besides, he had promised to go to Hua Xiaolan's house for dinner and would not go back.

……

Silent all night.

The next morning, after Lin Xuan had breakfast, he went down the mountain with Wan Shun.

Both of them were riding horses.

on the official road.

Wan Shun was riding a horse, a few feet behind Lin Xuan. He kept looking at Lin Xuan, as if he wanted to know how this handsome and extraordinary young man in front of him would become a Buddha in the future.

Lin Xuan had always been aware of Wan Shun's gaze.

But he didn't say much.

The two had a smooth journey back to the city and did not encounter any obstruction from the Black Fox Gang.

In fact, even if the Black Fox Gang saw Wan Shun coming down the mountain, they did not dare to come and arrest him.

You have to know that the person escorting them is the ruthless Lin Xuan!

Even the king can't deal with him, so if we rush forward, won't we just be courting death?

After arriving in Kaifeng City, Lin Xuan did not rush back to the Marquis' Mansion, but decided to go to the palace first.

Let’s see what Taoist scriptures and strange stories Commander Wang has found for himself during this period of time?

……

……

The heartland of Central Plains.

A secret base of the Black Fox Gang somewhere.

As night fell, the sounds of ghosts crying and wolves howling could be heard from the deep mountains from time to time.

Inside the cave, the dim fire was like a candle, flickering in the evening breeze, making the gloomy atmosphere in the cave seem a bit more eerie.

"Who are you and why are you helping this king?"

now.

The Black Fox King sat high on the tiger chair, frowning, as if talking to the void.

"You and I are the same kind of people. By helping you, I am also helping myself!"

A sinister and demonic voice sounded, making people feel goosebumps all over their body.

The Black Fox King was silent for a few moments, but finally asked the question in his mind.

"But why can't I find you in the human world?"

It turned out that months ago, when the Black Fox King was healing from his injuries, he suddenly felt a mighty aura of demonic flames descending upon him. At that time, he became extremely alert, fearing that it was someone from Shaolin who was setting a trap for him!
But I didn't expect that after getting in touch with him, I found that there seemed to be a madman behind that existence.

What do you say to make yourself the master of the world!

Shaolin is just a mere sect that can be destroyed with a snap of the fingers!
After his disappearance, the Black Fox King ordered people to look for the fortune teller to find out his whereabouts.

But so far, I still can't find that person.

The captured fortune teller tried his best to detect the existence of that person but failed!

It was not until this time that the Black Fox King began to doubt the previous words.

But at the same time, the Black Fox King had a gloomy feeling in his heart.

Who is going to help me?

What is the plot?

After a while, the voice said indifferently and proudly:
"I am no longer in the human world, so you can't find me."

"In the divine world, many gods call me the Dark Lord!"

"Dark Lord?"

This was the first time that the Black Fox King heard such a title, and...the gods in the divine world actually knew him?
