The queen must start from the head

Chapter 320
Mu Lian has been practicing for 500 years since she returned to Dongtian from the adventure of Shenfu.

But her cultivation has not made any progress since she was promoted to the peak of the sixth level of the God-Human Realm 200 years ago, and the progress of the cultivation of the divine power in her body seems to have stagnated.

Mu Lian knew that she could not work behind closed doors for a long time, so she decided to go to other top caves to meet with fellow Taoists at the higher level of the divine realm and listen to their insights on Taoism. Maybe she could learn something from them.

At this time, Mu Lian was like a big bowl of water in the sixth level of the God-human realm. Just add something to the bowl, and the water in the bowl will automatically overflow.

But she has no clue about it now, she has to go out for a walk.

When Mu Lian walked out of the cave, it was still a scene of ice and snow outside.

It seems that since she came to the God Realm, she has never seen the ice and snow melt here.

After leaving the cave, Mu Lian walked against the wind, following a route she had taken before, and soon arrived at a top cave.

She came here to the free trade zone with ease.

Perhaps it happened that there were many people retreating at this time, and there were very few stall owners bartering here today, and there were only a few sporadic buyers walking around.

Mu Lian didn't come here today for shopping.

After looking around here, her gaze soon fell on a group of gods who were sitting and discussing the Tao.

I saw Mu Lian walking forward a few steps quickly, and after saluting to the speaker who was sitting in the middle, she consciously sat on a tree stump outside the crowd, and began to listen quietly.

The one who was preaching at this time was a middle-aged god-man who looked slightly white and chubby, and he was telling everyone about his understanding of the way of water.

Just listen to him eloquently saying, "...The Taoist scriptures say that the highest goodness is like water. Water is good for all things without competing for it, and it can deal with what everyone hates. Therefore, it is more like Tao. This sentence clearly shows that there are three ways of water. One is that water is soft, and the other is water. The nature of water is good, and the third is that water does not compete."

"Thus, although the water one nourishes all things but does not ask for any return, but because it does not seek return, it is easily hated by other things. For example, a drop of ink falling into clear water can turn it black. The originally clear river basin in the lower realm , and the river turned yellow and full of sand due to the deforestation by the people along the coast.”

"If this principle applies to us, it means that if we become top-notch people in the crowd, we will be hated and hostile by others. At this time, we must not sit still, we must fight, and we must not let The filthy desires of others have violated our Dao heart. Therefore, although water is not a struggle, it is also a kind of struggle."

After his words fell, a man of gods around him asked incomprehensibly, "Dare to ask, since you said that the water is 'good for all things without fighting', why did you start fighting again? Does your explanation contradict itself?"

After hearing this, the fat, middle-aged man of God replied calmly, "No, what I said is not contradictory. Not to fight is indeed a kind of fight. Imagine that we are in the middle of heaven and earth, and when we call Aren't I scrambling for the nutrients in the world when I inhale, drink and eat? As long as I use the things in the world, I am fighting for a vitality and a resource. Even if I don't compete with others, I can Still fighting and demanding from the sky, so this seemingly non-dispute is actually a kind of contention.”

"Furthermore, although I don't want to compete with others for opportunities, if others find me first and compete for the things in my hands, then there will be an extra karmic relationship between me and him. At this time, I am willing to obey My Dao heart, I will compete with this person. This is also a kind of competition."

As the middle-aged god-man's voice fell, Mu Lian, who had listened to the words, also began to think.

Indeed, non-dispute is also a kind of contention.

All living beings in the heaven and earth rob food from the heaven and earth, and from the same kind.

While one person is wasting a share of grain, tens of thousands of people are starving to death. Isn't this just the consequence of indisputability?
While Mu Lian was meditating, many other gods present also raised their doubts.

As for everyone's confusion, the middle-aged god-man answered them one by one.

In this kind of process of sitting and discussing the Tao, it seems that he is the keynote speaker and contributes the most, but in fact, in the process of discussing and proving the Tao with each other, the speaker himself can also gain a lot.

During this period, Mu Lian also asked a question and received a response from the lecturer, which made her gain something.

When the seminar was over, the gods stood up and left one after another.

After Mu Lian got up, she noticed that three days had passed unknowingly.

She rested here for a while, and then started to go to the next top cave.

This time she attended the Dao Discussion Conference, although she gained something, but this insight alone was not enough for her to cross the threshold of the sixth level of the God-man Realm.

Mu Lian, who soon came to the second top-level cave, discovered by coincidence that there was a discussion meeting here, also talking about the way of water.She hastily came to sit down beside the crowd, and began to listen to the preaching of the man of God.

However, she soon discovered that the way of water taught by this god was different from the understanding of the previous god.

What this man of God pays more attention to is the way of changing water.

What he quoted was a military classic, which said: "Water controls the flow because of the ground, and soldiers win because of the enemy. Soldiers have no constant momentum, water has no constant shape, and those who can win because of the enemy's changes are called gods."

Just listen to his detailed explanation, "Water can change. It will change in height according to the unevenness of the terrain. Therefore, some rivers are straight and some are curved, which are all manifestations of the changes in water. The same is true for people. They will always choose to do things that are beneficial to themselves as the situation changes. Therefore, we must learn to take advantage of the situation and know how to use the development trend of things to guide them in a direction that is beneficial to ourselves. So , it is this way of change that I realized from the water.”

As soon as he finished speaking, a man of God immediately asked, "The "way of change" mentioned by fellow Taoists is too broad. As far as I know, just the word 'change' is already wonderful. Dare to ask you, what exactly is 'change'?"

The god-man who was the main speaker was also very quick to respond.

After hearing him think for a while, he immediately replied, "The so-called 'change' means that everything changes and nothing stays forever. It's like you want to cross a river, and the river is always flowing. So when your one foot When you step into the river, the river at this time is not the same river as before you stepped in, and this is change.”

"For another example, although we sit here quietly, if we go out of the cave and look at the erratic clouds in the sky, aren't they also constantly changing? The sky and the earth are revolving, and even those days outside the sky The moon, the stars, and the stars are also in motion. Therefore, if there is anything in this world that remains unchanged, it is change itself."

The man of God who asked the question couldn't help nodding his head in agreement after hearing this answer.

The reason why he was the first to jump out to ask questions was not to be picky, but because he was really interested in the way of change.

When the other people heard the two people's questions and answers, their hearts were already itchy, and they began to throw their own questions to the speaker, hoping to get answers from the other party.
