In the troubled times of the ten directions, the Martial Saint in the world!

Chapter 976 Overcoming Nine Difficulties! (4000 words)!

"Kill that woman, and you can live."

"Come on, make your choice."

The bleak cold wind whistled, accompanied by the old man's words, falling into Chen Xiu's ears.

Chen Xiu's face was a little more ferocious and distorted, as if he was wrestling with his own heart!
Somewhere, there seemed to be low-pitched words warning him.

boom!
The switch knife stained with bright red just fell on the side of Chen Xiu's ankle.

His eyes became extremely red, like a beast, panting: "I remember, I am Chen Xiu! I am the killing god in Tianye Mansion in the past, I am the executioner who suppressed Jiangnan in the imperial court in the past, and I am also Jiang Hu. Lord Shura Ming! To me, murder is nothing more than normal!"

"I do things for profit!! As long as I pick up this knife and kill that woman, then I will be able to live!!"

"Just, why do I seem to be resisting this behavior? Why?"

Chen Xiu tremblingly picked up the switch knife, and every step towards the ruined temple was extremely difficult, as if he might fall down at any time.

Walking alone in the wind and snow.

One step at a time, one step at a time.

Looking at Chen Xiu, who seemed to have a ferocious face, who seemed to be caught in a dispute between heaven and man, Jiuling Yuansheng was quite uneasy and said: "No, nothing will happen, right?"

"Chen Xiu is a disciple of Taoism. Therefore, his nine difficulties of heaven and man are the nine difficulties of Taoism, namely, persecution of food and clothing, invitation of elders, entanglement of love, entanglement of fame and wealth, disasters, restraint of blind teachers, differences of opinion, and ambition. Slackness of mind, waste of time! These nine difficulties are aimed at sharpening one's mind, refining one's nature, and breaking through falsehoods! Therefore, Chen Xiu must restrain his heart and see his nature clearly!" Moonlight Bodhisattva said calmly: "Just look at it. Chen Xiu, do you have such a heart?"

Jiuling Yuansheng frowned slightly: "There are so many constraints when the human race proves the Taoism?"

"The three disasters are shared by all living beings. As an ancient divine beast blessed by heaven and earth, you were born in the realm of immortals, so naturally you don't feel about it. Human races need to step up step by step. The realm of immortals is for the human race , What needs to be faced is not only the three disasters of heaven and way, but also the nine difficulties of nature. The nine difficulties of Taoism originate from the supreme moral Tianzun; the nine difficulties of Buddhism originate from the Buddha." Lian, the emptiness in the heart also allows the gods of the race to surpass the gods of all races. Because they are not just like the gods of heaven and earth and the demon race, they are empty bodies with power."

He said slowly: "I believe Chen Xiu can do it."

Amidst the low and sluggish sound of friction, the gate of the ruined temple was pushed open again.

Chen Xiu held the switch knife and stood like this in the wind and snow, precariously, the bright red switch knife was still red with blood.

"Why, figured it out?" the old man said with a smile, showing his yellow teeth, and his eyes were like wild animals: "If you figured it out, then do it. Do it early, and you can have a bowl of hot food." soup."

"Yes. Do it early, and you can warm your hands." Chen Xiu slowly raised his head, pointed the switch knife in his hand at the crying young woman, and slowly lifted it to the highest point, exhausting all his strength.

He pretended to be difficult and said: "I, I can't carry it! You, you two big men, come and help me."

The two big men came forward muttering.

"Okay." At this moment, Chen Xiu's body turned around suddenly, and the switch knife passed by.

The sound of breaking is clearly visible.

The heads of the two strong men fell to the ground immediately, and blood gushed out like a spring! !

The switch knife was extremely heavy, and it dropped slightly from his hand, and slammed hard in front of the young woman, and the chain that broke free from her was broken.

The knife fell heavily into the young woman's hand.

The old man was taken aback for a moment, and then roared like crazy: "You, what are you doing?"

"Murder. You ordered me to do it." Chen Xiu spoke with difficulty, with a hint of determination on his pale and ferocious face: "I don't want to eat people. Similarly, I am afraid of you all!"

"If you can eat this woman, then you can eat me too!!"

There was a bit of ruthlessness in Chen Xiu's eyes, "It's better to be more ruthless and kill you to avoid future troubles! In this way, I can enjoy the fire here safely!"

He gritted his teeth and swayed to his feet.

Because of the endless hunger and cold, the body has almost no strength anymore! !

"You're courting death!!" The old man punched Chen Xiu down like a wild beast, smashing like a madman.

Severe pain swept through, and the flesh and blood were torn apart.

"I'll eat you." The old man snapped off Chen Xiu's hand like a maniac, and he stuffed the remnant body into his mouth in a bloody mess!

At this moment, how can he still be human?
A vicious man-eating ghost!

Chen Xiu, who had almost no strength, lay on the ground, letting the pain sweep over his body, and said with a very difficult smile: "Old man, don't forget. Not only am I the only one in this ruined temple, but there is also someone who was eaten by you." Poor man who lost his son."

"You only care about dealing with me, but don't forget that someone wants to kill you."

After his words fell, the wobbly switch blade smashed into the air.

The blood was like a spring, and a lot of blood sprayed out.

The old man fell straight to the ground, his head rolling to the side.

The young woman was panting, holding the knife with great difficulty, she looked at Chen Xiu with fear and horror in her eyes.

"We shouldn't be enemies, right? Look, I'm already like this. Are you still afraid of me?" Chen Xiu said with a smile, slowly loosened his only fingers, and grabbed a handful of meat on the ground. sandy soil.

The young woman trembled slightly, put down the knife, and wept silently.

The flame is burning, burning the porcelain cylinder.

Chen Xiu felt the warmth of the flames, and the chill around his body dissipated a lot, but the seemingly endless hunger still existed.

He felt that the hot soup was more and more attractive.

It was as if the pot of hot soup had magical powers, attracting my nerves all the time.

"I, I don't want to eat people. If I eat people, what's the difference with monsters and demons?" Chen Xiu clenched his teeth and began to swallow sand to resist such hunger,

Time ticked by and the blizzard intensified.

The dilapidated ancient temple seemed to be crumbling in the wind and snow and was about to collapse.

The chaotic cold wind passed by like a sharp knife, painful and cold.

Chen Xiu gritted his teeth and approached the fire, relying on the belief in his heart to resist hunger.

"I, I can't help it. I, I haven't eaten for three days, I can't help it."

In the middle of the night, the wind and snow were violent, and the cold reached the extreme.

The young woman struggling against the hunger and cold like a beast, approached the pot of boiling hot soup, drank it tremblingly, with an unsatisfactory expression on her face.

There was something strange in Chen Xiu's eyes, and he said with difficulty: "Then, that is your child!"

"I, I've been evil for three days and three nights, I'm going to die. I, I survived, I don't want to die." The young woman murmured like a madman, as if she was unwilling to accept this reality, with only fear in her eyes and uneasy.

Her eyes fell firmly on Chen Xiu, and she murmured: "Drink it too! After drinking it, it won't be cold and you will feel comfortable."

The boiling hot soup was just delivered to his mouth.

The seductive and bewitching fragrance swept across, as if it was the most delicious thing in the world, attracting the gluttons in Chen Xiu's body.

The feeling of hunger that was about to be suppressed came to my heart again.

"Eat, eat."

The young woman's eyes were empty, and she murmured as if possessed: "Eat it, and you won't be hungry, nor will you feel cold."

Chen Xiu clenched his teeth, and slowly closed his eyes.

She has gone crazy.

In other words, she has become possessed!
"I won't eat it. Even if you are persuading me, I won't eat it."

He suppressed the hunger in his heart, frantically warned himself, and resisted the mad desire.

Time is passing bit by bit.

The young woman seemed to be possessed by a demon, whispering all the time, trying to make Chen Xiu drink up the bowl of hot soup.

At the end of the night, the sky finally dawned.

Chen Xiu, who was tortured to the point of madness by hunger, opened his eyes tremblingly, only feeling that the gentle sunlight seemed to cover him.

All the cold and hunger seemed to be dispelled.

The many lights and shadows in front of me dissipated!
The ruined temple, the wind and snow, the young woman, a few cannibals, and the corpses piled up in the corner of the temple all dispersed one by one.

Chen Xiu's eyes became clear.

When he opened his eyes to see the world clearly again, he was already standing in front of the academy.

"Congratulations, Zhuangyuanlang. This time, it is the sixth-rank official position handpicked by the emperor!!"

"Yes! The first time I became an official, I became a sixth-rank official, and I will have a bright future in the future!"

"Isn't it? I was a Jinshi back then, and when I first entered the court as an official, I was only a ninth-rank official. Now, once my virtuous brother meets the emperor, he will be a sixth-rank official! It is conceivable that the future of my virtuous brother will be How bright and aboveboard, I can't help being a little jealous."

"My dear brother, other than the teacher, it's my elder brother who took care of you the most in the academy. You shouldn't say no to such a small favor, right?"

Congratulations, celebrations, laughter, and requests came one after another.

Chen Xiu, who was surrounded in the middle, felt a little dazed.

He shook his head, and his memory was finally clear: he was a scholar who had studied hard in Han Chuang for ten years, and now he won the first place in the provincial examination, general examination and palace examination even in the third grade!Today's son Longyan was overjoyed, awarded the sixth-rank official position, and set off in three days.

Now, I came to say goodbye to my former classmates and meet my teacher.

For some reason, he felt that he was very tired, very tired and sleepy, and his will seemed to be a little lax!
At this time, an old man with gorgeous clothes came out slowly, looked at Chen Xiu and nodded slightly, and said slowly in an undisputable tone: "Chen Xiu, you have been my disciple for so many years, and now you have won three yuan in a row and have been awarded the sixth-rank official position .As a teacher, I have an unfeeling request, and I hope you can agree."

Many students congratulating on both sides retreated away in a timely manner, leaving a quiet place.

"Teacher, please tell me." Chen Xiu said respectfully.

A teacher is like a father, what's more, I have indeed studied under the teacher for ten years.

"That's right, you haven't forgotten me as a teacher. I'm afraid that you will forget me after you become a sixth-rank member." The old man spoke with some deep meaning in his words.

Chen Xiu hastily cupped his hands, saluted as a disciple, and said repeatedly: "How dare you, how dare you?"

He knew that the teacher was beating himself.

"Not bad." Seeing Chen Xiu's nervousness, the old man nodded with satisfaction: "Not bad, not bad. It's not too difficult to say that I want to ask you for help. My son, just when you are about to go He was under the rule of Jiangnan. A year ago, there was a flood in the south of the Yangtze River. He failed to relieve the disaster and failed to guard the granary.

The words seem gentle, but in fact they are quite domineering.

Also, still supporting?
A look of distress appeared in Chen Xiu's eyes: "Teacher, let me say something here. The disaster relief is not good, which is a great crime for the court. The loss of the granary and the disaster in the south of the Yangtze River are even more sinful. Under such circumstances, the disciple It may be that he has tried his best to convict him. This, how can we support this?"

"What? You still don't want to? You ungrateful guy, didn't he just steal some food casually? Isn't it easy to change the number with the emperor's order in your hand?" The old man changed his face instantly, coldly Said: "Or, are you unwilling to help the old man?"

"Teacher, the disciple is really powerless."

Chen Xiu spoke with difficulty.

"Okay! I didn't expect that a white-eyed wolf came out of the old man's door!!" The old man was furious, pointing at Chen Xiu and scolding: "You are such a disrespectful elder, believe it or not, I will tell the minister now My lord, spread it all over the world, and let you be wiped out."

Chen Xiu's face was aggrieved, angry, and uneasy.

So many emotions, so complicated.

Moonlight Bodhisattva looked at Chen Xiu, who was directly in front of him, and nodded slightly: "He has overcome the first difficulty among the nine difficulties. Now it is the second difficulty, please stop me! If it is the first difficulty, it is a test of the heart, stick to the heart Persistence and justice. Then, the second difficulty is the affairs of the world of mortals! The world of mortals is disturbing and troublesome."

His words stopped suddenly, and he said with a smile: "Hehe, I didn't expect Chen Xiu to overcome the second difficulty so quickly. Now, there are still seven difficulties standing in front of him. His heart is far beyond my imagination. Even more powerful."

Moonlight Bodhisattva's eyes were a bit more reminiscent, and he said softly: "The same is true for the emperor back then. His mind is like steel, and he is indomitable!"

boom -

In the universe, suddenly there was a low roaring sound!
The eyes of Jiuling Yuansheng changed slightly, and he said in amazement: "This, what's wrong?"

Moonlight Bodhisattva sighed softly, and said slowly: "Chen Xiu's heart is more tenacious than I imagined. He has overcome the nine difficulties and is about to become a heavenly immortal!! Perhaps he has realized that he is in the midst of the illusion. middle."

what?
This, so fast?
Jiuling Yuansheng is a little unbelievable, how long has it been?

"Nine spirits, manifest your real body." Moonlight Bodhisattva said slowly, with calm eyes: "As a human race, Chen Xiu's path to proving the Taoism is not that simple. Whether it is an innate god, or Jiuyou Ligui and The Heavenly Demon lineage will not sit idly by."

At this time, in the universe, there is a sign of the opening up of heaven and earth!
"Here we come!" Moonlight Bodhisattva's words became a little colder.
