Chapter 65: Stone Pagoda

  "Chen Jiu, what are you doing here?" The crowd of Confucians who rushed over asked in surprise.

  Chen Jiutian stopped what he was doing and bowed: "I've seen all of you gentlemen."

  "There's a monster sneaking in here, and the students unknowingly chased after it," Chen Jiu explained.

  The various masters, upon hearing Chen Jiu's account, suddenly burst into rage. This was a blatant insult, a slap in the face. If they didn't take down these monsters today, the reputation of Qingzhou Academy would be ruined and their prestige would be swept away.

  "The Great Array is broken!" a sharp-eyed husband shouted, looking at the cracked artificial mountain rocks.

  "Hurry and invite the Dean as well as the town's garrison to come over," a dignified-looking husband said to Chen Jiu.

  "No need for formalities, I'm already here." A white shadow flashed by, and Li Hui's figure appeared in the scene.

  The great Confucian scholars represent a kind of intimidation, and the various masters saw Li Hui as if they had seen a reliable support, and their originally panicked emotions stabilized again.

  A husband came over, made a bow: "Principal, this big formation is going to be broken, our academy's troubles will be great".

  "Whether it's good fortune or bad, the disaster can't be avoided. I've already sent someone to inform the town government army. What we need now is patience and waiting. As soon as the big formation breaks, it will be the death date of these demons. At that time, I'll see what abilities these demons have." Li Hui said lightly, looking at the big formation.

  It's not that Li Hui didn't want to shout and kill these monsters, but this big array is the Confucianism's mighty array, even if Li Hui strikes out, he will be blocked by this mighty array, wasting his energy.

  Inside the grand formation, several demons gathered together, looking at the shaky grand formation. After sensing the majestic and righteous aura outside, the leader shook his head with a bitter smile: "This time, if we can't rescue the Great Sage, you and I will have to settle accounts here."

  "Big brother, what are you waiting for? Hurry up and break this formation!" said Lao Wu.

  "Impossible. If the Great Array is broken, before we can even rescue the Great Sage, that old freak Haoran Zhengqi will probably have blown us to smithereens."

  "What should we do now?" asked Lao San.

  "We'll go find the place where the Great Sage is being suppressed, rescue the Great Sage and then break the grand formation. At that time, even the great Confucius will be unable to do anything to the Great Sage."

  "Alright, alright, we'll listen to big brother."

  Several monsters walked in the big array, after a while, suddenly opened up, a delicate stone tower appeared in front of all the monsters.

  The second elder laughed and rushed towards the stone pagoda: "I felt the breath of the Great Sage, the Great Sage is right here".

  "Second brother, come back quickly!" The eldest brother anxiously shouted.

  But it was too late, and countless Confucian classics appeared on top of the stone pagoda. With a loud "bang", Lao Er fell to the ground from afar.

  Several people rushed over to help Lao Er up, took a look and found that he had suffered heavy losses: "How could this Confucian sacred place not have any restrictions? The Sacred Way chapter can even suppress the Great Sage, let alone us."

  "What should I do now?" The great sage who was supposed to suppress is right in front of me, but I'm at a loss.

  "Only by destroying the Holy Scripture chapter can the Great Sage escape from his predicament." said Lao Da.

  "But we are demons, how can we get close and confront the Holy Scripture?" Lao Si said anxiously.

  The old man burst out laughing: "I've been prepared for a long time."

  "So it turns out you were prepared all along, brother, and we worried for nothing."

  "It's getting serious, big brother hurry up and break that seal, so we can put our minds at ease and stop being on edge."

  The boss nodded: "That's right, if the night is long and there are many dreams, it won't be good."

  In the expectant gazes of several monsters, Lao Da took out a cloth bag that was only the size of a palm, snow-white in color and covered with mysterious patterns.

  "What is this?" Lao Liu, the mouse spirit, said listlessly.

  "This is a precious treasure that I inadvertently obtained in a deep mountain a hundred years ago. This treasure is as large as Mount Sumeru, as small as a mustard seed, and can hold people, mountains, and all things under heaven; unfortunately..."

  "What's wrong?" Old Five hastily asked.

  "This treasure has no incantation for refining, it can only exert a superficial effect, what a waste of a treasure."

  "Big brother, it's fate that we got this treasure. The method for refining it will come naturally later on, big brother doesn't need to worry, when the time comes, everything will be fine."

  "Yes, yes, brother, this treasure is indeed a good one. Does brother want to take the pagoda and the Great Sage together?"

  The old man shook his head: "Without a refining method, how can you take away the Great Sage? You're on your own."

  The boss finished speaking and opened the mouth of the sack, pouring it downwards. All that could be heard was a "ai yo" sound, as a person tumbled out from within.

  That bookworm fell and got hurt, sitting there in a daze, unable to get up.

  Lao Liu asked in doubt: "Big brother, what's the use of bringing a scholar here?"

  "You guys, your brains won't turn corners. This sacred chapter's prohibition is naturally ineffective against bookworms. We just need to get the bookworm to destroy the text on top of the pagoda and that's it." The boss said with satisfaction.

  "What if this scholar doesn't listen to us?"

  "Stupid, I've already caught all his family members. If he doesn't listen, we'll eat them in front of him."

  Lao Liu burst out laughing after hearing this, and kicked the scholar with one foot: "You heard what we said, scholar. Hurry up and do as we say, or else we'll devour your whole family."

  The scholar had already lost his mind and wouldn't know how to resist, dazedly nodding along as he walked towards the pagoda.

  Watching those words being scribbled out one by one, six monsters burst into triumphant laughter.

  But unexpectedly, the bookworm hadn't even shaved off a few words when he heard a loud and clear reading voice entering his ears, his mind was suddenly clear, and all matters of family and state were reverberating in his mind, with righteousness resonating within.

  The bookworm stopped his hand, and the laughter of several fairies stopped. Old Fourth stepped forward and said: "Bookworm, why did you stop? Don't you want your family's lives anymore?"

  The scholar did not answer and remained standing in front of the stone tower.

  The old man's eyes flashed with a hint of unease, and the Qiankun bag opened again. A woman with a clear face, an 8 or 9-year-old child, and an old woman appeared on the scene.

  Regardless of the child and wife's wailing, a fierce glint flashed in Lao Da's eyes: "You scholar, if you don't take action now, I'll eat your wife's fingers."

  He said, grasping the woman's fingers in his hand.

  The beautiful young woman kept wailing and struggling, shouting loudly: "Let me go, save me, husband!"

  Unfortunately, the scholar still didn't turn his head and calmly said: "The safety of all living things in the world can't be shaken by a woman, let alone a great man who has no shortage of wives."

  The big brother was stunned, and then burst out laughing: "Great, great! It's said that those who are righteous often kill dogs, while those who are treacherous are always scholars. It seems you're also a heartless and ruthless person, no different from us demons."

  The eldest turned his head and said to the sixth: "Sixth brother, your life is not long, let this woman satisfy your craving."

  "Thank you, big brother, thank you, big brother." Old Six heard this and burst out laughing, opening his bloody huge mouth to swallow the woman in one gulp. The sound of continuous chewing made the three people on the scene feel their hair stand on end.

  "Mother, mother!" The child cried out loudly, overcome with grief and unable to stop.

  "Shut up, little doll. It's your turn next. If that ungrateful old father of yours doesn't behave, I'll swallow you in one gulp. Don't worry, it won't hurt."

  Looking at the crying child, Old Six smiled with satisfaction: "Scholar, your wife's flavor is really good, and next is your son. This is the bloodline of your family. If I eat it, your family will be extinct."

  "Hmph, foolish fantasy, what's the harm in sacrificing one's life for righteousness? Since he is my son, he should be prepared to sacrifice his life. I am still young, as long as I am alive, our family's bloodline will not be cut off, so what's the harm in having another child?"

  "Hmm, this book is really amazing, it seems that the Confucian brainwashing skills are too powerful." Lao San said with his arms crossed.

  "Shut up and just eat it already."

  "Dad, dad, save me! I don't want to die!" The child was caught in the hands of Lao Liu and cried out in alarm.

  An old woman on one side wanted to rush forward and fight, but was kicked flying by the eldest. The sixth elder pinched the child's cheek and laughed: "This meat is really tender, has a bite".
