Chapter 52: Miscalculation
Ling Xuan was not a stupid person, he was well-informed and knowledgeable, and the reason why he had shown surprise before was only because he was too unfamiliar with the Twelve Heavens Great Array, not because of other reasons.
And now, after hearing the faint word "Harvest" from Juekong's mouth, Ling Xuan turned his gaze to the wooden long stick held by the monk, and after a little thought, he understood why this thing could resist the attack that came from him holding the frost sky just now.
Harvested, with a human face and a tiger body, covered with golden scales, wings, a snake in his left ear, and two dragons on his feet.
In the rumors, the harvest is located in the west of the autumn god, in charge of the autumn harvest, there is also a legend that the harvest is the auxiliary god of the White Emperor Shaohao, or called the son of the White Emperor.
At the same time, in addition to the autumn god, the harvest is also one of the legendary twelve ancestors, since the Twelve Heavens Great Array is based on the Twelve Heavens, then if there is a formation about the harvest, it is naturally reasonable.
In fact, this is not the first time we have heard about the harvest.
At the beginning, in the Sifang Temple on the first floor of the Vientiane Divine Palace, we have already seen a statue of the harvest, which is enshrined together with the tablet of the White Emperor Shaohao, and through the hints of the Sifang Heavenly Emperor and the God of the Four Seasons, it has played a great role in suggesting that we have found Wu Zetian's dragon body.
Now, the harvest mentioned in Juekong's mouth has a different meaning from the statue we saw before, and here, what we need to pay attention to is not his identity as an autumn god, but his identity as an ancestral witch.
Among the twelve ancestral witches, what the harvest represents is the gold of the West and the Five Elements.
The ancients believed that the sky has the sun, moon and stars, and the earth has the five elements of gold, wood, water, fire and earth, and the five elements are extraordinary, which can not help but symbolize the movement of all things, and is known as the sect of all things.
Therefore, the gold in the five elements is not "gold" in the real sense, but refers to all the metals in the world, because the metal is heavy, and is usually used for killing, so the gold itself has the meaning of killing, and it is the sharpest existence in the five elements.
And since what Juekong had just listed was the Harvest Array representing the gold of the Five Elements, all the seemingly incredible things that had just happened had a reasonable explanation.
Although according to common sense, the ordinary white ape mother and son stick in the monk's hand could not resist the frost heaven sword that was as sharp as clay in any case, but in the harvest array, all this became a matter of course.
With the blessing of the harvest array, the long stick in the monk's hand had already been invisibly blessed with innate golden energy, and it could no longer be regarded as an ordinary wooden stick.
Although if the two sides fight for too long, the golden qi attached to this wooden stick will inevitably be lost, but in a short period of time, with this layer of blessing, the white ape mother and child stick is definitely not inferior to any divine weapon in the world, and even surpasses it.
And as we could see, Ling Xuan's attack was as swift as thunder, and after a single blow, Ling Xuan saw that his attack did not have the result he expected, so he immediately chose to give up, in such a short period of time, it was naturally impossible to exhaust the innate golden qi on the wooden stick, and there was no way to cut it off.
"The master is calculating, Ling Xuan is ashamed of himself."
After thinking through all this, Ling Xuan's expression slowly relaxed, but there was a slight hint of jealousy in his eyes when he looked at Juekong.
"Although I claimed to be able to comprehend the Twelve Heavens Great Array, but because I clearly knew my strength, I actually knew very well in my heart that if I really chose to break through the battle, there would be absolutely no chance of winning in Xia, so I had a plan."
"I think the master has already seen that the blow of our side was planned for a long time, first disturbing your sight with sword qi and sword light, and at the same time, I know that your strength cannot be exactly the same, so from the way you resist sword qi, I found out the person whose strength is slightly insufficient, and finally held the frost sky to attack him with the power of thunder."
"I was confident that this plan was perfect enough, but because my last sword was rushing to the same speed, the speed was already beyond ordinary people's imagination, so even if the master could see my thoughts, there was no chance to stop it."
After reviewing his plan just now, a bitter smile suddenly appeared on Ling Xuan's face, and his tone was full of helplessness.
"I thought there would be absolutely no accidents, but I still underestimated the master, although the master did not have the time to stop it, but I didn't expect the master to find another way to resolve this crisis in a way that I didn't expect at all."
"Because my sword was too fast, the master did not choose to block it, but chose to use the Buddha's lion's roar to remind you to change the formation while confusing my mind, and the result was just as the master expected, my movements did have a momentary pause because of this lion's roar, and it was precisely because of my momentary pause that the final result was completely different from what I expected."
Although Ling Xuan's eyes were full of jealousy when he looked at Juekong, when he said this, there was still undisguised admiration on his face.
"In that short moment, Master Juekong not only thought about how to respond to my attack, but also used his gestures to lead the change of formation, and in the end, although the frost sky in my palm attacked that master as expected, the development of things was no longer in my plan."
"Since the harvest array has been completed, the master only needs to raise the white ape mother and child stick with innate gold in his hand, and he can easily resist the sharpness of the frost sky, and when I see that the situation is not good, I can only choose to give up, and when I choose to give up and withdraw from this array, it means that my well-designed attack can only return in vain."
"Amitabha, although the donor failed to achieve the results he wanted, but the donor should not be discouraged, you just miscalculated in some places, on the whole, this plan is remarkable, if it is used elsewhere, it will definitely catch people off guard."
Juekong is worthy of a generation of monks, although the two sides are hostile to each other at this time, but when he speaks, it still makes people feel like a spring breeze.
"The donor may have forgotten that the poor monk once said that we have grown up together in this Great Xiangguo Temple since childhood, although there is no blood relationship, but we already know each other better than brothers, and we have reached the point where we already know what each other thinks with just a gesture."
"So, as long as there is a momentary pause from the donor, it is enough to turn the tide of the battle upside down."
