The little imp closed his eyes, as if he had just been tired from revealing so many secrets to me.

But fortunately, he didn't stop there, but continued to say to me: "This so-called test is 'three disasters and nine tribulations'. ”

"Three calamities, nine tribulations, twelve tribulations?"

I've seen the legend of the Three Calamities and Nine Tribulations in some books, but I never thought that this thing really exists, and it is also a test for the candidates of the Great Sage?

The little ghost glanced at me and explained: "The Nine Tribulations are very easy to understand, my master needs to go through the ninth reincarnation chapter to practice the ninth reincarnation, and each reincarnation needs to be cultivated from the beginning, from the cultivation of ordinary beings to the peak realm under the Great Sage. These nine reincarnations are the nine tribulations, because reincarnation is hard and cultivation is difficult. ”

I understand the suffering of samsara, and there is no doubt about the difficulty of cultivation.

The so-called reincarnation suffering refers to the mystery of the womb after reincarnation.

The mystery in this womb is extremely powerful, even if Lord Taizu is reincarnated, he will be blinded by the mystery in the womb, and forget his true face.

Well, in layman's terms, the mystery of this womb is like an invisible bowl of Meng Po soup, which will make the reincarnated beings forget all about their past lives, and completely cut off the karma with their past lives.

The most terrible thing is that once the mystery in the womb is not dealt with properly, it will be cut off from all kinds of causes in the previous life.

This Nine Lives of Reincarnation is the Nine Worlds of Communication, if there is a vacancy in one life, can this exercise still be regarded as a successful practice?

Therefore, reincarnation is bitter, and it is difficult to avoid the mystery of the womb, which is the first of the nine difficulties.

As for the difficulty of cultivation, I don't need to say that everyone knows that from an ordinary creature cultivating to a peak existence under the Great Sage, the hardships and hardships involved can really only be known by people drinking water and being warm and cold.

Therefore, this cultivation difficulty can be called the second ring of the nine difficulties.

The nine tribulations, reincarnation suffering with the difficulty of cultivation, a total of nine generations of practice, a total of nine times need to go through a total of nine times, so the name is called "nine difficulties".

Eh, don't get me wrong! The Three Calamities and Nine Tribulations do not refer to a real number, this is a general reference, in fact, the tribulations that Lord Taizu needs to go through cannot be measured simply by numbers!

The 12 Righteous Tribulations I mentioned earlier, that is what I have seen from the book, the real three calamities and nine tribulations, but they are not as simple as adding up to the twelve kinds of difficulties.

Oops, I don't understand that, but after listening to the next little ghost's explanation of the three plagues, I think everyone will understand.

"The so-called three disasters refer to natural disasters, earth disasters and man-made disasters. Catastrophe refers to the catastrophe. My master reincarnated practice will experience a thunder tribulation every 3,000 years, a wind and fire tribulation every 18,000 years, and a demon tribulation every 129,600 years. ”

Thunder Tribulation, as the name suggests, is to be struck by lightning, following Canghuan for so long, I have also witnessed several thunder tribulations, its sound is as powerful as a prison, and its destructive power is also extremely terrifying.

Lord Taizu's cultivation will suffer a thunderstorm every 3,000 years, and the hardships and risks involved are unimaginable to others.

If you are not careful, or if you don't deal with it properly, your practice will be wasted and turn into nothingness.

It's easy to understand that it was struck by lightning, and there is nothing worth talking about the Heart Demon Tribulation, but this Wind and Fire Tribulation that has to be experienced once every 18,000 years, I have to introduce it well.

I glanced at the water mirror on the surface of Longhu Lake, and found that it was as quiet as before, and my heart was a little calm.

The calamity of wind and fire, literally, is the calamity of both wind and fire.

This wind is the Nine Shadows Divine Wind, which is claimed to come from the Netherworld, which can destroy people's souls and damage the foundation of humanity.

According to legend, it was born from the mud pill palace of the cultivators, and successively spread to the Mingtang Palace, the Dongfang Palace, the Jade Emperor Palace, the Liuzhu Palace, the Heavenly Court Palace, the Jizhen Palace, the Xuandan Palace and the Taihuang Palace, until the Nine Palaces burned together, destroying the door of people's lives, and then burning the eight spirits (people have three souls and seven spirits, three souls, heavenly souls and earth souls; and seven spirits, spirit, spirit, heroic, powerful, heavenly chong, spiritual wisdom and central spirit. However, among the three souls, the two souls of heaven and earth are not in the body, but outside the body, they are the eight spirits in the body, the human soul and the seven spirits. The seven orifices, the six internal organs, the five internal organs, the limbs, the samadhi, and the two souls (the heavenly soul, i.e., the fate; the earthly soul, i.e., the shadow. ), one qi (luck), until the person is incinerated to ashes.

Once you can't survive the calamity of wind and fire, not only will the body of the victim be destroyed, but even the soul and qi will be burned.

Such a ghostly wind and fire, one blowing from the outside, the other burning inside, and the internal and external attacks together, can take people's lives in an instant, make the human body disappear, and there is no trace left in the world.

I hugged my arms, I felt a headache when I thought about it, it was really not easy for Lord Taizu to survive such a dense calamity.

Natural disasters are already so famous, I don't know how dangerous this earth disaster and man-made disaster will be!

"The Earth Calamity is aimed at the reincarnation of the Master. ”

"For reincarnations?"

I asked in surprise, the reincarnation in this Ninth Reincarnation Chapter does not refer to Lord Taizu who is cultivating, but Lord Taizu who has completed his deeds.

Well, it seems a bit of a twist to say that, so let's put it another way.

The beings who are now serving as karmic teachers in the Jixia School Palace are the Taizu who is cultivating, and those hearts lying in the 10,000-year-old golden silk nanmu brocade box, before they are transformed into hearts, they are the Taizu who has completed their deeds, that is, the reincarnation body.

Of course, the heart is also a reincarnation, but a deformed reincarnation.

And Lord Taizu, who is practicing, is called the present body.

As soon as this is explained, the problem arises.

Since the reincarnated bodies have all completed their cultivation and can sit and sleep peacefully, why are there any calamities specifically targeting them?

"Yes, the land disaster is aimed at reincarnation. ”

The little ghost nodded at each other's eyes, responded to my rhetorical question in a firm tone, and then continued: "My master Venerable Ninth Generation's cultivation, the reincarnation body left after each practice must have a place to be placed, and no matter where the reincarnation body is placed, that place will soon be depleted of vitality, the aura will be completely gone, the earth's veins will not be broken, and even the living beings will be destroyed. This disaster is a land disaster. ”

Hearing the words of the little ghost, I twitched the corners of my mouth, this is too desperate, isn't it? This is to force Lord Taizu to his death!

Although the reincarnation body has been cultivated, it is always not good to put it in a place where there is no spiritual energy and the earth's leylines are cut off, after all, it also needs to be conceived and nurtured by spiritual energy, otherwise it will inevitably be damaged over time.

This is not a big deal, the most terrifying thing is that there is such a big vision in the place where the reincarnation is placed, isn't this clearly telling others that Taizu's reincarnation is placed here?

As for the man-made disaster, I don't need to say much about this, everyone can guess the heel of this disaster.

Lord Taizu's reincarnation embodies the fruits of his ascetic cultivation in his lifetime, and if he is obtained, he can easily absorb his power to achieve the pinnacle existence under the Great Sage, and he can also share his qi as a candidate for the Great Sage.

These two points alone are enough for Lord Taizu's reincarnation to become the target of everyone, arouse the greed of all spirits, and cause a bloody storm.

Even for figures like the Lord of the Void, the Great Sage of Ten Thousand Demons, and the Great Venerable of Evil Spirits, they would be happy to receive the reincarnation of Lord Taizu.

For them, Lord Taizu's reincarnation is the best sacrifice to be sacrificed, with strong blood and energy, mixed Dao fruits, and the most important thing is that it is light and easy to carry, and the sacrifice is very fast.

If the Great Sage of Ten Thousand Demons or the Great Venerable of Evil Spirits wants to hold a sacrifice, there are two options for the sacrifice, one is a reincarnation, up to one hundred and eighty catties, and the other is thousands of fierce beasts, which need to fill countless storage spaces, how will they choose?

Thinking about it with their toes, they will definitely choose the reincarnation of this thing, and it is convenient to take it out and put it on the altar, and it is faster to sacrifice.

Unlike using thousands of fierce beasts as sacrifices, a sacrificial flame doesn't know how long it will take to burn before the sacrifice is finished.

In addition, if they destroyed even one reincarnation, they could cut off the path of Lord Taizu's attainment of the Great Sage, such a thing that harmed the interests of the enemy and benefited themselves, how could the Great Sage of Ten Thousand Demons, the Great Venerable of Evil Spirits, and the Lord of the Void not want to do it?

Afraid of it, they want to do it!

As the saying goes, there are only a thousand years to be a thief, and there is no thousand years to prevent thieves.

Master Taizu needs to be reincarnated to practice, and it is impossible to guard his reincarnated body all the time, and his opponents are strong and numerous, so it is even more difficult to keep his reincarnated body.

Even if Lord Taizu wants to hide his reincarnation, but the earth disaster is waiting there, and he can't hide it no matter what!

Three disasters and nine difficulties, so difficult!

Judging from my bloodline inheritance memory, the Great Sage of the Second Universe had a strong relationship with the Realm Lord of the first civilized world of the Second Universe before he attained the Great Sage, and during his cultivation of the Ninth Reincarnation Chapter, thanks to the Realm Lord of the First Civilized World escorting him with the Venerable of the Great Sage, he was able to pass the test of the Great Sage candidate and achieve the Great Sage Realm.

And the same situation is placed in the third universe, the friendship between Lord Taizu and the Lord of Xuanhuang is also very good, the great turmoil caused by the Hundred Saints Secret Book at the beginning, if it were not for Lord Taizu's help, the Lord of Xuanhuang may not be able to settle it so easily.

I think that the relationship between the first civilized world of the first universe and the Great Sage candidate is also very good, after all, the Great Sage candidate will also become the Great Sage, before they succeed, if the first civilized world realm master can help, it will be good to meet each other in the future, right?

As for the Lord of the Void, his falling out with the Lord of Xuanhuang was entirely a matter of his own personality.

However, although the Lord of Xuanhuang had a good relationship with Lord Taizu, when the Xuanhuang Realm was destroyed, the World-Destroying Dharma Venerable took action against the Lord of Xuanhuang, destroying the body of the Lord of Xuanhuang, and forcing him to hide in the remains of the Ancient Yuanmu.

In this case, Lord Taizu obviously couldn't count on the Lord of Xuanhuang.

Therefore, it is already extremely rare for him to successfully complete the ninth life and keep his reincarnation from falling into the hands of the enemy.

As for the price, didn't you see that Lord Taizu had transformed his reincarnation into a heart and locked it in a 10,000-year-old golden silk nanmu brocade box?
