The queen must start from the head

Chapter 317 The Verbal Trap

On three dining tables, 28 plate covers were opened at the same time.

All kinds of spiritual objects placed on the white plate appeared in front of everyone in an instant, which made them amazed again and again.

"That's the rare fibrous root of heaven and earth!"

"This is Yunshangyan, the most precious treasure that conceives and nourishes Dao Xin!"

"Here, the things on these plates are all high-quality spiritual treasures!"

Excited, the god-man immediately reached out to grab the nearest plate of spiritual objects.

But before his hand grabbed the plate, the white mud-like thing on the plate was grabbed by another god-man first, and the latter swallowed it decisively.

The man of God didn't even have time to glare at the quick-handed man of God, but turned his head and competed with the person next to him for the spiritual object in the latter's hand.

The other gods also started fighting for the opportunity of the spiritual object, and some of them even fought real fire.

In an instant, the room, which was not too big to begin with, was in chaos.

And those 28 spiritual objects were quickly snatched up and eaten by the more powerful gods present.

Seeing that the spiritual objects were gone, the 30 people who did not grab the spiritual objects returned to the table and sat down with gloomy faces.

The 28 gods and men who ate the spiritual things sat together with happy faces.

As no one spoke, the noisy scene immediately quieted down.

The old woman who had been staying aside all this time, whose presence was so low that she looked like an invisible person, finally came out at this time.

Her tawny face was covered with gully-like wrinkles, and her eyes with drooping eyelids slowly swept across the faces of the 59 people present.

When everyone saw her coming out, they became vigilant.

They haven't forgotten what the other party said earlier, "The guests will either eat the food, or become the food and be eaten!"

Except for the dead fellow Daoist Li, only 29 people ate what was on the plate, and the remaining 30 people didn't get any food.

What will the old woman do?Could it be that she will take action against them?
Just when the gods were on guard one by one, ready to kill the old woman at any time, the latter sighed unhurriedly.

"It's a pity, it's a pity. Most of you here are gods who have cultivated for thousands of years, and there is still a long way to go. It's a pity to die here, even the old woman thinks it's a pity!"

Her words made many people present change their minds.

One person even scolded her angrily, "You old woman, what do you mean by saying this?!"

"There were originally 60 of you, and it is perfectly possible for the two of you to share a dish equally. In this way, everyone can eat food, and no one will die. It's a pity that you are all too self-loving. When the opportunity comes, everyone only cares about themselves. I never thought about the life and death of others, but this is human nature..."

The words of the old woman immediately touched the hearts of many people.

Some of the gods who had even injured their friends and companions in the past in order to compete for spiritual objects had a look of shame on their faces.

yes!No one said that these foods cannot be shared, why can't they take out the things and share them equally with their peers, but must take the violent form of fighting with hands?

Unknowingly, some gods with weak hearts began to question themselves.

These gods are still in the initial stage of "self" in the triple stage before the gods and people. They who have not got rid of the "self" can easily fall into self-denial and doubt, thinking that the previous things were really done by themselves wrong.

But the gods present, like Mu Lian, who had broken through their "self" and realized their "true self", were not shaken by the old woman's words.

On the contrary, someone in this group stood up and accused the old woman, "Don't talk nonsense here! There are thousands of paths to the great road. Practitioners, each has his own heart, and each has his own How can fate be summed up in the words of self-love and humanity? If your mind is shaken by what you say now, then how to define the Dao, and whether we will succeed or fail on the road, it is better to let you decide with a word Alright! Why should I still cultivate some Taoism and become a great emperor!"

The God-man who stood up was the strongest old God-man present at the sixth level of the God-Man Realm.

And it was the old man's words that pulled the other elementary gods who had shaken their minds back from the edge of scattered and crumbling dao hearts like a blow to the head.

yes!Although what this old woman said is reasonable, should she believe it if it is reasonable?
She accused them of being too self-loving, and selfishness is capitalized in human nature, so what about herself?
Could it be that she can get rid of this innate human nature by herself?
If she was put in the situation they were in just now, could she guarantee that she would do that?

Anyone can put the gun in hindsight, and anyone can say something sarcastic.

Standing and talking one by one doesn't hurt my back, it's just that I don't really empathize with being put in that situation.

How noble can a person who stands on the shore and laughs at others drowning be?
After these people came back to their senses, they also realized that the old woman's words just now were really vicious.

Mu Lian, who heard the old man's response, fell into deep thought.

What the old lady said just now also caused waves in her Dao Heart Lake, because she also felt that what the other party said was reasonable.

But when she compared the other person's words with the latter's words and deeds, she felt something was wrong.

You must know that the mysterious existence of the old woman who suddenly appeared in the stone pagoda, the rule maker in this stone pagoda, she undoubtedly holds the power of life and death over their group of people.

Although I don't know what kind of support and means the other party has, but judging from her unhurried actions, it seems that she is inextricably linked with the Lord of the Divine Palace here.

Therefore, in Mu Lian's eyes, the image of the other party was like a big boss who was superior and could make money every day while lying down.

He is enjoying the best every day, but at the same time he is still whipping his employees, saying, "Do you know why others are successful, but you are not? That's because you haven't worked hard enough!"

Obviously, the group of young and middle-aged people under him are endlessly squeezed for work performance, life, and success. They work from early to late and work late at night. They have long been overwhelmed by everything.

But the man who was standing on top of them with their waists pinched was still saying, you haven't succeeded because you haven't worked hard enough!
Are some things really possible as long as you work hard?

Who defines success and who defines failure?

As the old woman said just now, everyone loves themselves too much, but who defines this self-love?

Perhaps it is better for people to believe and obey than to teach them to question.

The rudimentary gods did fall into such a verbal trap, so that their hearts were shaken.

But after they woke up, they crawled out of such a trap.

Seeing the group of gods around him surround him and stare at him covetously, the stooped old woman still showed no signs of nervousness.

At this moment, Mu Lian came out from the crowd, looked at the other party with a steady gaze, and said, "Since your Excellency is the master of this shrine, please stop covering up and teasing me like this, why don't you show your real body!"
