The Legend of the Netherworld

The Sweeping Monk had no expression on his face. He raised his right hand and placed it in front of Lin Xiao's face. A force emanated from his palm and was injected into Lin Xiao's face.

Then the scar on Lin Xiao's face disappeared, his skin returned to its original state, as delicate as a baby's, and his hair grew rapidly, returning to the appearance he had three months ago. The youthfulness returned to Lin Xiao's face, and the young man with a crew cut and scar who was praised in the ancient forest also disappeared from the world.

"Go," the Sweeping Monk said indifferently, as if he didn't want to say another word, and then he lowered his head and merged into the parchment book.

Lin Xiao felt the changes in himself, reached out and touched his cheek, and the soft feeling of skin appeared in his hand again. He was about to thank the Sweeping Monk, but saw that he was immersed in the book. Lin Xiao bowed softly, turned around and went downstairs.

When he went downstairs, he met the administrator of the Sutra Library again. He had an incredible expression on his face and stared at Lin Xiao closely. Lin Xiao smiled slightly and walked out of the Sutra Library confidently.

Lin Xiao came to the steps in front of the hall and then walked towards the sect leader's sect.

He walked through layers of courtyards and came to Lin Jiao's Zen temple with ease. At this time, Lin Jiao was meditating and practicing in the house.

Lin Xiao raised the corners of his mouth, a sly look flashed in his eyes. He knocked on the door gently and said jokingly, "Senior Sister Lin Xiao, the headmaster notified you to go to the main hall."

Lin Jiao heard the familiar voice and opened her eyes excitedly. She thought to herself, "That voice is Brother Lin Xiao." So she couldn't wait to go forward and open the Zen door. Seeing that it was Lin Xiao, she immediately hugged Lin Xiao, hugged him tightly and said, "Brother Lin Xiao, I missed you so much."

After hugging each other for a while, the two came to the pavilion in the Zen temple together. There was a stone table in the pavilion, and a small garden around the pavilion. It was spring at this time, and the flowers were in full bloom, as if they were in a sea of ​​flowers.

Lin Jiao's face was filled with smiles, and she spoke with a hint of complaint, "I had previously secretly gone to the back mountain to look for you, but I couldn't find you. Later, the Sect Master told me that you had gone to the Ancient Forest alone. I had originally planned to go to the forest to look for you, but the Sect Master wouldn't let me, saying that it was a place for you to practice alone."

"I was also instructed by someone, and I gained a lot during my three months outside the Ancient Forest. Not only did I break through to the Jiazi Eighth Realm, but I also gained a lot of good things."

Lin Xiao smiled and took out the treasures, the Immortal Vine and the Immortal Jade, and gave them to Lin Jiao. "This is the Immortal Vine and the Immortal Jade for you. Carrying these treasures with you will have miraculous effects when casting spells."

Lin Jiao picked up the immortal vine, frowned, and asked doubtfully, "What effect does this treasure have?"

"This is a vine-type treasure. It can grow vines quickly and make the vines poisonous. More importantly, it can reduce the energy consumption of casting spells." Lin Xiao said with joy in his heart and a hint of pride in his eyes.

Lin Jiao picked up the Immortal Vine and tentatively performed the Fire Control Technique. A flame erupted from her fingertips. A smile flickered across her lips, and she said happily, "My energy consumption has indeed decreased. It seems I'll need to go to the Sutra Pagoda to learn some vine-related secret techniques."

At this time, Lin Xiao took out the map from his sleeve, spread it flat on the stone table, and said with doubt: "This is the most valuable treasure I got in the Ancient Forest this time. It is said that this map contains the biggest secret of the Ancient Forest, but I can't crack this map at all." Lin Xiao's tone was full of helplessness.

Lin Jiao picked up the map and looked through it carefully. She pointed to the only intersection that appeared on the map and asked, "Do you know where this is?"

"That represents the core layer of the Ancient Forest, which means the treasure on this map must be in the core layer." Lin Xiao pointed at the map with a firm look, "I washed this map with water, and there was no change."

After saying that, Lin Jiao and Lin Xiao looked at each other, and both of them were inspired at the same time. A flame instantly came out from Lin Jiao's fingertips, gently sticking to the map, letting the temperature burn it.

After a while, the two people's eyes changed from full of expectation to disappointment. The map did not change at all, but a burning smell was emitted.

Lin Jiao continued to look through the map carefully, trying to find something she had overlooked. Lin Xiao quietly watched the busy Lin Jiao.

Suddenly, Lin Jiao's expression changed. She stared at Lin Xiao intently, holding her head with both hands. Like a child who had done something wrong, she said, "I was so excited to see Brother Lin Xiao that I forgot about the important things."

"What's the important matter?" Lin Xiao asked with a puzzled look on his face.

Lin Jiao stood up and pulled Lin Xiao towards the Chanyi Hall, saying, "Let me study this map for a few more days. We need to go to the Chanyi Hall now because while you were in the Ancient Forest, Wang Yiming was beaten by Daoyi and his sternum was broken. He is now bedridden and is said to need a year to recover. And Daoyi is obviously taking revenge on you and Wang Yiming."

After hearing this, Lin Xiao's face suddenly changed and his anger increased. He asked in a stern voice, "Where is Daoyi now? Is he in the Chanyi Hall?"

"He should still be there. I went to visit Wang Yiming and learned what happened. I wanted to teach Daoyi a lesson, but Senior Brother Li Qing from the Chan Yi Hall intervened. I couldn't do anything to him in front of him in the Chan Yi Hall. It would only hurt Wang Yiming."

Lin Jiao's expression was solemn, her voice filled with helplessness. "This time, we're going to Chanyi Hall mainly to visit Wang Yiming. You must hold your temper. The martial arts competition is about to begin. You can teach Daoyi a lesson at the competition then."

While they were talking, Lin Xiao and Lin Jiao had already arrived at the door of the Zen Hall. Lin Jiao informed the doorman and took Lin Xiao in.

However, at this moment, the doorman recognized Lin Xiao and hurriedly said, "Senior Sister Lin Jiao, you can enter the Chanyi Hall at any time, but Lin Xiao cannot enter. Elder Chanxin has specifically ordered this."

Seeing this, Lin Xiao became furious and his strength rapidly flowed through his body. He then planned to force his way in.

The doorman sensed the anger emanating from Lin Xiao and realized that things were not going well. He did not dare to stop Lin Xiao, but immediately shouted inside: "Someone is trying to break into the Chanyi Hall by force."

Lin Xiao took Lin Jiao and walked into the gate of Chanyi Hall.

At this time, more than a dozen disciples from the Chan Yi Hall stood in front of Lin Xiao and Lin Jiao with wooden sticks. One of them stepped forward and said, "The elders have ordered that Lin Xiao is not allowed to enter our hall. Please ask Senior Sister Lin Jiao to take him away from the Chan Yi Hall, otherwise don't blame us for not considering the kindness of our fellow disciples."

Just as Lin Jiao opened her mouth to speak, Lin Xiao said, "How dare you guys come forward to stop us?"

After saying that, Lin Xiao used the "Tiger Roar Palm" move. Accompanied by the roar of a tiger, the golden palm print suddenly knocked all the dozen disciples in front of him to the ground.

Lin Xiao didn't hesitate and pulled Lin Jiao towards Wang Yiming's meditation room.

At this time, Lin Xiao and the other person came to the front hall. Two familiar figures were standing in the front hall. They were Li Qing and Daoyi. A battle was about to break out.
