The guardian of the gate of Mo Temple. Xuan is the local deity from the folklore of the village of White Cloud. No one knows how old she actually is. She has protected the Mo Temple for thousands of years. Xuan was highly respected by residents of White Cloud mountains until the Cultural Revolution began.
