Chapter 236 Return to the Netherworld

The world was peaceful and everything returned to normal. The broken cracks in the void merged again. The devastated land proved how fierce the battle that had just taken place here was.

"Kasyapa, you really want to deceive me." Lin Fan opened the Eye of Merit and looked around, but did not find any trace of Kasyapa.

He is very confused now.

The Kasyapa he killed was definitely not a clone or a transformation of something, but the real Kasyapa.

But where did his real body go? If it weren't for the merit points that could be obtained by killing monsters, I would have really been fooled by him.

Gui Wu came to Lin Fan and asked, "Daoyou, is Jiaye still alive?"

Lin Fan whispered, "Not dead, it's too strange. He was clearly killed, but he's still alive. As for where he's hiding now, I don't know. But it's okay. If I can kill him once, I can kill him a second time."

Gui Wu looked solemn and worried.

At this time, the Blood Tai Sui who was suppressed in the big cauldron felt that the restriction had disappeared and thought about escaping. The current situation was too dangerous. In its opinion, if it didn't run now, how long would it want to wait?

Just when it wanted to abandon the cauldron and escape, a magical power enveloped the cauldron. Feeling the magical power, it cried out that something was wrong, but it was too late to run.

The big cauldron rotated and flew under Xuan Dian. The eyes that grew out of Xue Tai Sui's flesh and blood looked into Xuan Dian's eyes.

Nervous, panicky, scared.

"Xuan, Taoist Xuan Dian, can we talk it out nicely?" Xue Tai Sui became very honest, with a hint of pleading in his tone. It was obvious that it understood the current situation. Resistance would only lead to miserable treatment. It hoped to talk to the other party in a friendly tone and gain a chance of survival.

"Do you know how to talk properly now?" Lin Fan's eyes were filled with disgust. The sins committed by Blood Tai Sui were unforgivable. He didn't know how many people had become its food. Thinking back to the scenes he saw at the beginning, he could not forget them. They were even more terrifying than what he saw in the lower world. "It's too late. Everything is too late. How can I keep you?"

After he finished speaking, he received the Blood Tai Sui into the evil world. The vast power surged wildly, covering the Blood Tai Sui. Regardless of how the other party begged, he forcibly refined it.

"Xuan Dian, you will not die well, you will not die well." Xue Tai Sui knew that there was no way to survive, and roared angrily. No matter how it struggled, it could not stop the process of being refined. Its consciousness became weaker and weaker, and gradually, the roar stopped, and everything returned to calm.

At this time, Lin Fan was floating in the evil world, feeling the changes in the evil world. After absorbing the complete form of Blood Tai Sui, the evil world underwent earth-shaking changes.

With the surge of rules, the evil world welcomed its first ruler.

It is an existence beyond Xie Xuan Dian.

The other person's body was all red, even his hair was dark red. He floated in the air without any fluctuations, with his arms open, accepting the rule of the evil world.

"The evil world is perfect, surpassing the Taoist Dongxu that I mainly practice." Lin Fan sighed, or it can be said that the upper limit of the evil world is not as good as the Taoist Dongxu.

Even now he has not been able to condense the thirty-six levels of Taoist Dongxu.

It's too difficult.

It is far from being possible with his current abilities.

After leaving the evil world, he set his sights on the huge cauldron. After exploring it with the Eye of Merit, he found that this cauldron was extraordinary. It actually had the same aura as the fragment he got in the lower world, as if they were from the same origin.

He took the cauldron in his hands and felt it carefully.

Suddenly, something that he didn't know came into his mind, which was how to return to the underworld.

After learning this, Lin Fan's face was uncertain and he fell into deep thought. He always felt that there was something wrong. This tripod must belong to Jiaye, so why did he leave it behind? With his ability, it was not difficult to take a tripod away, unless it was intentional.

"Okay, okay, Master Kasyapa, you like to keep a backup plan and leave some tricks behind." Lin Fan smiled secretly. He really didn't know what Kasyapa was thinking.

He placed the cauldron into the storage ring and looked up into the void. After such a great battle, the mysterious object in the void did not make any movement, as if it was unaware of what was happening here.

"Fellow Daoist, what are your plans next?" Gui Wu asked.

Lin Fan said: "I have a way to return to the lower world. I want to use the time difference between the lower world and the upper world to improve my Taoism as quickly as possible."

Gui Wucong Jiekong learned that the ratio of time spent in the lower realm to that in the upper realm is very large. Of course, for others, it would be useless even if they returned to the lower realm, because the spiritual energy of the lower realm is far from comparable to that of the upper realm.

When one cultivates to their level, the spiritual energy from the lower realm is useless.

But Xuan Dian was different. He had indeed followed the path of flesh, spirit and fragrance before, but everything had changed since he practiced the Sutra of Swallowing the Origin of All Things. He felt that what Xuan Dian lacked was not the ability to practice Taoism, but a kind of perception.

The difference in the level of the Dongxu realm is definitely not measured by magic power.

It is more about the understanding of the void.

The problems Xuan Dian is facing now are too complicated, and the most difficult mystery is always hidden. What is Xuan Dian lacking? Naturally, it is time.

Gui Wudao: "When are you going to take action?"

"The sooner the better. The crisis in the upper realm has been resolved temporarily. Kasyapa is not dead, but he will not come out easily. It will be difficult to find him. He will only appear when the situation is already set." Lin Fan said.

Return to the Dharma Boat.

Lin Fan looked at Ye Wushuang and said apologetically, "Fellow Daoist Ye, I'm so sorry that I couldn't let you take revenge in person. Jiaye died too quickly, and not even his body was left."

Ye Wushuang said: "Thank you, Taoist priest, for avenging me. Although I was not able to do it myself, I am satisfied."

Because they were relatively far away from each other, and the torrent roaring out from the void crack, Ye Wushuang did not hear the words he shouted.

Lin Fan didn't want to tell the other party that Jiaye was still alive.

After all, it takes time to get out of the quagmire of bitterness and hatred.

Lin Fan nodded and told the news that they could return to the lower world. Everyone was extremely surprised to hear it. Luo Yu was the most excited, but soon, his excitement disappeared.

To him, the upper realm is really boring and dangerous. If he were to return to the lower realm with his current level of cultivation, it goes without saying that he would be at the level of an ancestor.

But as he spent more time with Taoist Master Xuan Dian, his horizons broadened and everything he saw became colorful. More importantly, he saw the future in the Taoist master.

If you don’t cherish such a thick thigh before your eyes, you are really blind.

"Does anyone of you want to go back to the underworld?" Lin Fan asked.

He was asking this question to Luo Yu and Ye Wushuang.

Qiankunzi is originally from the upper realm and has nowhere to go.

Luo Yu quickly shook his head and said, "I won't go back. I have no relatives or friends. Now in the upper realm, only the Taoist priest is my best friend. I won't leave."

Lin Fan looked at Ye Wushuang.

Ye Wushuang said: "Master, please send me back. I want to go back and see where there are traces of her and me in the past."

"Okay." Lin Fan nodded.

Luo Yu said: "Qian Kunzi, why don't you go with Fellow Daoist Ye and visit other lower realms."

Although Qiankunzi has no Taoist skills, he is a shrewd man and saw through Luo Yu's thoughts at a glance. He just felt that there were too many people following the Taoist priest and he was afraid that they would be robbed in the future.

"No, no, I'm too old to move. Besides, I don't have any friends. All my friends are here." Qiankunzi said.

Luo Yu smiled and it seemed that he was not stupid.

They are all very smart.

Lin Fan took everyone away on the magic boat and came to the place where Ye Wushuang had ascended. He sacrificed the big cauldron and activated his magic power. Then, a ray of light appeared on the surface of the big cauldron, piercing through the ground and splitting the passage.

Ye Wushuang faced everyone, clasped his fists and saluted. His gaze fell on Xuan Dian with gratitude in his eyes. Then he walked into the passage without looking back.

Gradually, the figure disappeared and the passage was closed.

Luo Yu sighed, "Fellow Daoist Ye has been in the upper realm for who knows how many years. According to this time ratio, who knows what earth-shaking changes have taken place in the lower realm. However, with Fellow Daoist Ye's cultivation, he should be fine."

Lin Fan agreed with this. It was true. The limit of the lower world was there. When Ye Wushuang returned, he would definitely be the top one. If they really fought, no one would be able to defeat him.

Lin Fan said: "All is empty, what do you say?"

Jiekong said: "Amitabha, although I have only been in the upper realm for a short time and have not been to many places, I am still a little worried about the Taoist master's situation, so it is better for me to follow the Taoist master."

That's what it means to ask for a beating.

Lin Fan was too lazy to say more. He urged the magic boat to go towards the place where they ascended. Then he opened up a passage, put away the magic boat, and led everyone into the passage.

…

Chaotian Taoist Temple is surrounded by green mountains and clear waters, with houses located at the foot of the mountain, presenting a prosperous scene.

At this time, several figures appeared on the road. Their appearance did not attract the attention of the people because there were quite a few people wearing Taoist robes and monk robes.

There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!

For the common people, this is nothing new.

"Jiekong, what happened in the decades that I was away?" Lin Fan asked.

Jiekong said that too many things had happened in the past few decades. Ever since the Huangtian Sect and Wuwang were eradicated, the people had a respite and their lives were getting better day by day.

More importantly, the new emperor has grown up, pays attention to the development of people's livelihood, and manages the country well.

The new emperor came from Xinghua Town. His surname was Wang. He had the support of the elders of the previous dynasty and the help of people from the Supervisory Office. He managed the country in an orderly manner.

Hearing this, Lin Fan nodded with satisfaction.

The Wang family is really powerful. They do good deeds and bring blessings to their descendants.

"When I first came down the mountain, this place was not like this. Why is it so prosperous now?" Lin Fan asked.

Jiekong said, "Of course it's because of the Taoist priest. Who doesn't know that Taoist priest Xuan Dian of Chaotian Taoist Temple slew demons and monsters? He chopped from north to south and from west to east with an axe, and the sky was dark and blood flowed like a river. The court was also grateful to the Taoist priest and named Chaotian Taoist Temple as the state religion. Your senior brother got the honor of being named the state teacher because of you. But I have seen him and his appearance doesn't make him worthy of being the state teacher. He has no cultivation and no appearance. He is just worshipped as a lucky charm."

Lin Fan said dissatisfiedly: "Bald donkey, don't say that about my senior brother. My senior brother is kind-hearted, daring to think and act, daring to love and hate, and he has paid a huge price to save my master's wife from danger."

Jiekong glanced at Lin Fan, "You are betraying your master and ancestors. When your senior brother was on tour, he told everyone what you did. Fortunately, the court found a reason for you, saying that your master fell into evil ways and asked for death. As for your master's wife, she was truly in love with your senior brother, but your master stole her love away."

Lin Fan narrowed his eyes, "Bald donkey, there are too many people here, don't force me to slap you."

He felt that his senior brother was still the same senior brother and had not changed.

Never like to tell lies.

Just dare to think and act.

Lin Fan couldn't wait to see his senior brother. He thought he would not be away for long, but who would have thought that the time was so long. He also wondered how his senior brother and mistress were doing.

"Master, is there anywhere you want to go?" Lin Fan looked at Gui Wu. He knew that the master had an old lover, and he didn't know whether the nun was still alive. After all, a long time had passed. If her cultivation didn't break through and her life span wasn't long, it would be hard to say what would happen.

Gui Wu smiled and said, "I don't have anywhere to go."

"Go ahead, go and take a look. You'll give Nian Xiang a result after all. After all, Master, you were always in a daze when you were in the upper realm." Lin Fan said.

Gui Wu shook his head slightly, smiled without saying anything.

Luo Yu and Qiankunzi looked at each other with shining eyes, as if they had discovered something extraordinary. It seemed that Master Guiwu was not honest either.

Master, you are a monk, you don’t have any so-called love affairs, do you?

If this is true, it will be an eye-opener.

Lin Fan did not say much, he knew that the master would definitely go, so he continued to walk forward, opened the Eye of Merit and looked around. The people were in good spirits and there was no resentment in the sky, which showed that the people living here lived a very happy life.

As I walked, I heard passionate voices coming from the tea stall in front.

"The thief was startled when he saw a Taoist priest wearing a blood-red robe, with an axe on his waist and an umbrella on his back. He was approaching from a distance. The thief was shocked and recognized him at a glance as the famous Taoist priest Xuan Dian who saved people from suffering..."

Lin Fan stopped and looked over there.

The storyteller was a very young storyteller, not too old, only in his early twenties. When he was slaying demons and monsters, the other party’s father might not have been born yet.

The people listened very carefully, and even though they had heard it many times, they were still excited.

What Lin Fan didn't know was that storytellers nowadays have a very high status, good welfare benefits, and are paid by the government. Of course, becoming a storyteller is not easy.

It requires rigorous examinations, and some people study hard for decades for the sake of fame.

They held books of Xuan Dian Shilu and read them by heart. Not only did they have to memorize the contents, but they also had to learn to innovate and add some processes based on their imagination without changing the contents.

Make the image of Taoist Xuan Dian taller and more majestic.

Not long after, the young storyteller stopped, drank a sip of tea and moistened his throat. The story was over and he needed to recall it carefully.

"Storyteller, this version of the story seems to be much better than the old one." asked a citizen.

The storyteller smiled and said, "Of course, this is written by the first-rate storyteller Wu Hai, so it must be better than the old version."

A first-class storyteller?

Wu Hai?

Mr. Wu?

Wait, what a familiar name.

Instantly, the damning memory came back.

That's the person he gave the calligraphy to.

"Sir, is Wu Hai still alive?" Lin Fan asked.

The storyteller said, "Nonsense, even though Mr. Wu is over a hundred years old, he is still in very good health. After all, Mr. Wu has received the calligraphy of Taoist Priest Xuan Dian, and he is the ancestor in the minds of countless storytellers."

Lin Fan: ...

Miaomiao and Daji looked at each other.

I may not remember the name.

But let’s talk about who the Taoist priest has left calligraphy for.

That really left a deep impression on me. Four words: upright and righteous.

Moreover, this piece of calligraphy has a very evil aura.
