The 45th Blow of Breaking the Array

  Lin Chong and the others arrived outside Mishan Village, and from a distance they saw the Five Poison Spider Web Formation undulating like a rainbow-colored ribbon. Lin Chong dismounted his horse and carefully observed it, only to see that within the formation's misty veil, several large toads were squatting, each about two or three zhang in size, with rough, bumpy skin all over their bodies, and a pair of golden eyes that seemed to be half-asleep, half-awake, dazed and confused. Two streams of black air shot out from their nostrils, merging into the misty veil.

  Li Niang and others exclaimed in surprise, standing far away to watch. Lin Chong slapped the long spear on the horse's buttocks with force, and the fine horse neighed and rushed towards the boundary. Before it reached the front, one of the big toads suddenly opened its mouth, and its tongue shot out like a whip, wrapping around the horse. In an instant, it retracted and pulled the horse into its mouth, swallowing it with a gulp.

  Wang Laozhi jumped off his horse, carefully measured it with a few eyes, and smiled: "Five Poisons Seal Boundary? It's actually the old way to look at the Hu people's national teacher. Since Pudu Cihang left, the national fortune of these three countries has not been long-lasting, and even the national teacher is only this level!" There was a hint of disdain in his words.

  Lin Chong hastily said: "Could the immortal have broken through this boundary?"

  Wang Laozhi glanced at Gong Shuyan and chuckled, "No need for me to make a move." Gong Shuyan was untying the small package, taking out the chessboard, placing the twelve animal pawns on the ground, smoothing his hair, looking up ahead, pinching his thumb against his other four fingers, calculating non-stop. After a moment, he took out four bronze animals and arranged them in a four-sided formation.

  "Lin Jiaotou, Li Erniang, Shi Xiniangzi, each of you will ride a bronze beast and the rest of you will kill the evil spirits. Then, take advantage of the opportunity to kill the main array's person." Gong Xianyan said this, glancing at Wang Laozhi, this old Taoist priest had unfathomable cultivation, Gong Xianyan didn't dare to order him around.

  Wang Laozhi smiled and said: "You go ahead and arrange it, I also want to see Gongshu's magic."

  "Then, please ask Xian Chang to follow another four-phase array and rush in. The pavilion master and Yang Zongguan and others are all trapped inside, unknown whether they are alive or dead. Xian Chang does not want to kill the enemy, just rescue them."

  Gongsun Yanran finished speaking, took out sixteen chess pieces and arranged them on the board. He shouted "Quickly!" The twelve pawns and four bronze beasts suddenly expanded in size, transforming into twelve copper men and four giant bronze elephants with long tusks, each about five or six meters tall.

  Lin Chong flipped over and jumped onto the back of a giant elephant, finding that the spear in his hand was too short and not suitable for charging. He glanced at the giant elephant's body and saw a carved dragon spear inserted into it, which was about two zhang long. He couldn't help but feel great joy, hastily pulled it out, and praised: "Good weight!"

  He took a deep breath, and at the same time, he guided the power of Tian Xiong Star and Tian Shang Star. His bones crackled with a loud noise, his body grew to ten feet tall, and he shook the long spear into a flower shape. Li Erniang's eyes sparkled with stars: "What a good man, not inferior to the master of Biwu Pavilion at all. If there is an opportunity, I would like to have a romantic relationship with him..."

  Lin Chong also obtained two Tianbao Zhuang Jing, but now his cultivation is not as good as Wu Song. After all, Wu Song is a good man who came out of the killing field, using human heads to forge a brilliant career. Lin Chong, on the other hand, does not have any murderous aura around him and has not grasped the essence of military strategy.

  Wang Laozhi, Shi Xiniangzi and Li Erniang also jumped onto the bronze giant elephant. Gong Shu Yan moved the chess pieces on the board, and the twelve copper men holding big knives rushed forward quickly, forming a triangular formation, weaving left and right, and in the blink of an eye, they charged out of the maze, raised their knives and cut down, and with a few knives, they opened up a gap in the maze and slipped inside.

  A series of long, mournful beast howls echoed through the misty veil, rising and falling in a haunting cadence. The sound was followed by deafening drumbeats that shook the air. The intervals between the howls grew shorter and shorter, as did Gong Sun's movements, his hands darting back and forth with increasing speed, sweat dripping down his forehead in rivulets.

  The five-poison seal fluctuated non-stop and suddenly burst open like a bubble, the poisonous mist was blown away by the strong wind and disappeared.

  Gong Shu Yanran saw the situation and hastily moved the other four pieces quickly, the four bronze elephants thundered with their four hooves, shooting out like arrows!

  Four men stood on the giant elephant, only to feel the golden wind hitting their faces, their eyes were pierced by the wind and tears flowed horizontally. Lin Chong covered his face with one hand and grasped his large spear with the other, catching a glimpse of a foreign monk standing on the head of a giant python in front, holding a drum, surrounded by an egg-shaped aura, and his heart was filled with great joy.

  Lin Chong charged forward with his spear, and the elephant lowered its head, its long tusks piercing the giant snake's body. The two massive creatures were instantly sent flying. Lin Chong took advantage of the opportunity to leap up and thrust his spear at the foreign monk, who let out a shrill cry as his vital energy shield was pierced, and he was nailed to a large tree with a loud "thud".

  Lin Chong exerted himself to pull out the spear, but it was stuck too deep and couldn't be pulled out for a while. Seeing that the bronze giant elephant was about to roll over, he rushed forward, found an opportunity, and drew out a huge sword from the back of the bronze elephant, but it felt somewhat awkward in his hand.

  At this time, the other three bronze giants were also ordered by Gong Sunyan to rush towards a monk each. Li Erniang unknowingly raised the Luo Pa and unfolded it into a piece of cloth about 3 zhang in diameter. She stepped on it with her bare feet, her clothes fluttering wildly, as a burst of peach blossoms shot out, dyeing the surroundings pink.

  The leader of the prostitutes danced on the rug, her movements elegant and refined. Unbeknownst to her, her clothes gradually disappeared, until all that was left was a breastband. The monk opposite her saw this and coldly sneered: "You wicked woman, don't think you can corrupt my Buddhist heart!"

  As soon as he opened his mouth, he took a sip of peach blossom wine, and suddenly his blood vessels expanded, ruining the Buddhist heart he had cultivated for over thirty years. He tore off his black robe with a loud rip, revealing his bare upper body, and let out a strange laugh, pouncing on Li Erniang.

  Li Erniang pointed with her hand, and the kerchief flew up, wrapping the monk inside. When the kerchief opened again, only a pile of dry bones remained. The female demon cackled with laughter: "I told you so, this monk was just a hungry ghost consumed by lust!"

  Wu Song, Lu Da and Zhang brothers were surrounding the Tibetan monk Boer Xing to kill him. He stole a glance at Li Erniang's shiny body, stepping on the Luo Pa and dancing gracefully. The official was stunned: "This woman is indeed... but why does her body look so familiar?"

  He was so distracted that he almost got his skull blown off by Bohu Xing's big bronze gong, and hurriedly concentrated his mind. Bohu Xing was different from the four Mo brothers, he practiced the orthodox Bodhi Dao Lantern Theory and the Great Adornment Sutra, with a dignified and majestic aura, with a hundred moves, sometimes using the Big Hand Seal, sometimes using the Flower Picking Finger, and sometimes using the Lion's Roar. Every time he changed his mind method, a different Buddha's Dharma form would appear behind him.

  The Mahamudra manifests the Buddha-nature of Vairocana, the Flower Mudra manifests the Dharma-nature of Mahakasyapa, and the Lion's Roar manifests the Buddha-nature of Simhanada. Each has its own wondrous function. Furthermore, six large bronze cymbals were refined, each with a diameter of one meter, and when played, they flew out in all directions, their sharpness extraordinary.

  The Bodhisattva's form behind the Buddha often has three heads and six arms, looking clearly in all eight directions, although surrounded by many people, both offense and defense are more than enough, forcing Wu Song and others to be at a loss.

  As for Lotus Born and other barbarian monks, they were entangled by Yang Jia. The steward had refined the White Bone Fan, greatly increasing his strength. He took out the White Bone Fan, and white bones flew about wildly, with black air swirling around him. One person was able to hold off two barbarian monks and three Gu spirits.

  On this side, the happy daughter-in-law held up a lotus-leaf bag the size of a face basin on her head, and from time to time, some strange things would fall out of the bag. If you were greedy for wealth, gold, silver, and treasures would fall out; if you were lustful, beautiful women's seductive calls would come from inside; if you were eager for power, thick stacks of imperial edicts and dozens of official seals would fall out.

  The things in the bag changed endlessly, and there was always something you liked. The monk who was facing her didn't know what he was enchanted by, but after being stunned for a moment, his head was covered by the big bag, and a wave of intoxicating fragrance poured in, and he fainted to the ground without knowing how many catties he had eaten.

  Wang Laozhi stood on the back of a giant elephant, and the monk who was facing him saw that he was just a thin old man and didn't think much of it. He manipulated several Gu worms to attack, just about to tear the old man apart. Suddenly, Wang Laozhi stretched out one hand and rapidly drew in mid-air. In an instant, a large golden character appeared in mid-air, intricate and complex, with strokes that couldn't be made out.

  "Set!" Wang Laozhi let out a low shout, and the large character flew into the air, covering the barbarian monk and several giant Gu gods. The primordial energy of heaven and earth swarmed in, tightly locking them down and pressing them firmly to the ground, unable to move.

  In the field, only one Taoist priest was left. Looking around, four fellow disciples were either captured or killed, and the remaining Gu worms were all entwined by the twelve copper men. He whispered to himself, "I've long heard that among the Song people, there's a female Taoist named Gong Sun who has mastered the art of demonic possession. Only by killing her can we turn defeat into victory!" With that, he struck the small drum, and the giant snake under his feet slithered out, charging straight at Mi Village.

  That big snake swam extremely fast and in the blink of an eye arrived at Rice Village, where it saw a woman sitting at the village entrance playing chess. The monk was overjoyed: "It's her!"
