vs 174 Good is like water

Although he was already a very powerful cultivator, Xin Yu did not have absolute confidence in his own strength. Even if he doesn't count the astral realm of the entire universe, even in this very "small" world, he is not an absolute powerhouse.

Although, because he has mastered part of the laws of time and forged the golden body of the laws, in fact, no one in this world can threaten his life. But just because you're safe doesn't mean you're going to be able to dominate ...... At least not to convince everyone.

If you count the vast and boundless starry sky of the universe, as far as Xin Yu knows, although he can barely be among the middle level now...... If you only count the "survivability" ability and not the attack ability. The middle level doesn't look bad, but it's just more than enough.

In other words, although for those astrologists who are below the realm of the Great Star Warlock, Xin Yu may be able to be called a "hegemon", but countless powerhouses who have been wandering in the Great Star Warlock realm for tens of thousands of years, as well as those saints who are at the top of the pyramid of the Star Wizard Realm, not to mention being able to kill a small character like Xin Yu in seconds, but it is a matter of minutes to suppress him.

In this way, if Xin Yu wants to avoid inducing demons because of certain things in the future, he must try to avoid conflicts with people...... It's easy to say if it's someone who is not as strong as him, but the vast majority of astromagicians, judging from the current situation, Xin Yu still has a relatively high chance of encountering someone stronger than him.

So how do you prevent that from happening? If you pretend to be a "rabbit" and pretend to be harmless, this is absolutely undesirable, because the universal value of the entire astral world is to respect the strong and become harmless, and only the absolutely weak or even cowards will have the idea.

And although Xin Yu is not very strong, it may be acceptable to say that he is weak, but if he really becomes a soft worm that can be slaughtered, it is not in line with his wishes...... For any practitioner, "bowing low and being small" is a kind of doubt about oneself, and sometimes, the mentality of being willing to admit defeat is more likely to induce demons in the heart. So, this is definitely not a desirable state of mind.

But if you face the world strongly...... It is even more undesirable. In essence, whether it is the world of cultivators or the world of astromagicians, they are all circles composed of intelligent beings, and their "social" attributes are not much different from the society of ordinary people.

There may be some rules in the astral world that are different from secular society, but fundamentally speaking, there is no absolute difference between the interaction between astrologers and astromagicians and the interaction between people. Therefore, being tough can definitely only bring more enemies...... At least you won't get friends, will you?

So, how can you avoid getting into trouble with people in your future life...... To tell the truth, this is almost impossible, he can not cause trouble, but trouble is impossible not to find him, especially when a cultivator has a long life, there are always all kinds of things encountered, and the people he meets are even more varied, how can there be no contradiction at all? However, as far as Xin Yu is concerned, perhaps influenced by the philosophy of life in his previous life, he is used to competing in a peaceful environment, and he does not like the rules of this world that purely speak with his fists, so he naturally does not want to rely on his strength to ensure his ...... Safe.

Of course, Xin Yu himself had no social experience in his previous life, and although he lived a wonderful life in this life, his real experience in communicating with people was close to zero. The rules of this world cannot adapt to him, and he has to adapt to this world by himself.

However, if he is allowed to interact with people peacefully, maybe he can still "mix", but the rules of this world are very much, maybe it is a bit exaggerated to describe it as drawing a knife to face each other if he disagrees. At least in the world where Xin Yu is located, the thoughts of the astrologers are still relatively "rational".

Whether it's because of good luck and avoiding evil...... Before Xin Yu grew up, Chen Linqiang, a quasi-great star magician, was supported by his seniors, and Xin Yu's "backstage" background was too hard, and no one wanted to provoke the strong man behind him. And after Xin Yu has grown up, his strength is beyond the reach of most astral magicians, and naturally there is no one who does not open his eyes to give him a look.

Therefore, even from the perspective of seeking good fortune and avoiding evil, Xin Yu has never met any eyeless astromagicians in his life until now...... The only few of the Spirit Star Sect that he encountered were also ruthlessly "crushed" by him with his strong strength.

In fact, just like in the world of ordinary people, astrologers are also creatures who seek advantage and avoid harm. Just like Chen Linqiang said, it belongs to the red fruit fruit...... Those who bully the soft and are afraid of the hard.

For astromagicians, a moment of subduing will not have any effect on them, because they are just powerful mortals, and there are no so-called ideological requirements in cultivation, and there is no fear of inner demons. Nature can be like a "dragon", able to bend and stretch and potential.

However, no matter how "realistic" the principles of the astrologers are, they are still intelligent creatures in the end, and ordinary people still have the saying that "if you can't bear it, you don't need to endure it anymore", and in the huge group of astromagicians, it is inevitable that there will be some exceptions. Or simply some strong people who don't look down on the little characters who are lower than their own realm strength, and "casually" deal with the relationship with other monks.

It is because Xin Yu wants to use the rules of this world to deal with the relationship between himself and the astromagician, and there will never be any possibility of peace, unless his strength can reach the peak of the world at once, no one dares to grin at him.

However, if you want to reach that realm, it can't be done overnight, whether it is from an ordinary star magician to a powerful star magician at once, or from a low-level cultivator to a high-level cultivator, no genius dares to claim that he can do it in a few years or decades.

So before becoming one of the top few people, Xin Yu really needs to worry about meeting other astral magicians...... Especially the powerhouses of the Starry Sky Astrology Realm...... What kind of mentality and what kind of way to deal with them.

It is not advisable to be too soft and too hard, so how should we grasp the degree between this? If it is too soft, it will become a slug that everyone can deceive, and this is definitely not a normal form, and it even has some servile meaning. It's too good...... That's really asking yourself for trouble.

I remember that there is a sentence in the "Tao Te Ching" that I memorized, called: Good is like water, and water is good for all things without fighting.

Xin Yu has never understood the subtle words of the ancients, and this very philosophical sentence made sense when he first heard it. And there is some "unconscious" flavor...... It's a very vivid metaphor. However, if you study the ideas in depth, they are practical in practice, but they are real principles.

Lao Tzu said that water is good, because it nourishes and nourishes all living beings, but does not obtain anything from nature. Although from a scientific point of view, Lao Tzu's words are very problematic. After all, although water is a necessary thing for all living beings, and it is also a necessity that all living things cannot live without, water is not necessarily "good".

Because when it is "gentle" and "tranquil", the water is "lovely". It not only nourishes the growth of plants, but also feeds countless animals. But in the case of "gentleness" and "tranquility", is it true that water only has the "good" side?

The people of the maritime countries who have just experienced the tsunami, and the people of the affected areas along the eastern coast of the entire continent, will never think so. No one can calculate how many living beings the "water" world is like a speeding train whizzing by, and how much threat it poses to people's lives. Not to mention the occasional once-in-a-century tsunami, even the frequent seasonal floods along some major rivers can also make people see the "manic" and "barbaric" side of water.

However, from the perspective of cultivation and dealing with the world, Lao Tzu's sentence is as good as water, but it is a real wise saying. In terms of practice, if you know how to live in harmony with nature and know how to make courageous progress according to the situation, you will definitely be able to reap great benefits.

And in the world, water itself is the most changeable...... It's okay to say "sleek" or "oily", but it's usually described as "flexible". That is to say, people should be adaptable and know how to change their style of life in various occasions and environments...... Of course, this kind of change has not changed the "essence", that is, in the case of "bottom line" and "principle", know how to say and do things differently from person to person.

Therefore, goodness is not only a feeling for the nature of life, but also a high level of cultivation and spiritual realm.

If it is said to be very "red fruit", water goodness "benefits" all things without fighting, which is the foundation of "goodness". The key lies in the word "profit". Compared to practitioners with all kinds of "taboos" and "quirks", the world of astromagicians is still relatively ...... Simple.

The reason why it is simple is because the astrologist has no "scruples", then everything is based on "interests". Unlike cultivators, who have many "taboos" in their practice, they may accidentally "offend" others because of an inappropriate "look".

However, the astral world is not so simple, and it is also because astromagicians do not have "taboos" to restrict their actions like "orthodox" practitioners. Therefore, it often seems that because the astrologist is more powerful than mortals, he is more "taboo-free" or "rampant" in his style of doing things.

It is said that a hundred kinds of rice raise a hundred kinds of people, and the astrologists also have different personalities because of the different environments they live in, the different education they receive, and the different people they come into contact with. Then, if you "anger" someone because of some small thing, you are likely to have a grudge because of it.

From this point of view, getting along with astromagicians is much more complicated than those who can restrain themselves. After all, no one can guarantee that they will be able to understand the "interests" of each sorcerer. Some astrologers focus on practical interests, some focus on fame, some focus on face, and even some astrologers focus on their own status...... And so on, all of which need to be supported by sufficient information.

However, for Xin Yu, it is relatively easy to get along with the star magician...... Although he has only had access to a handful of astral magicians so far...... This world is so big, and there can't be many astral magicians that an astrologist can meet.

It's because he has confidence in the astrologist informant he has cultivated...... To be honest, although there may not be fewer astrologers with "foresight" and "strategy" like him in the vast universe, he believes that the experience and knowledge he has been exposed to in his previous life about intelligence gathering is definitely more "professional" than that of astromagicians in this world.

After all, the previous life was an information society, and the acquisition of information was not only collected, but also related analysis, induction, and summarization, which was a systematic and complex science, and it was not understood by astrologers who focused on astrological practice. To put it arrogantly, don't look at the civilization of this world for tens of thousands of years, and the astral world of the entire starry universe has been born for trillions of years, but in terms of the "professional skills" of intelligence work, it is not even as developed as Xin Yu in his previous life in just two hundred years...... They have already used "information" to name the social level of human beings, and it is impossible to say that they are underdeveloped.

Therefore, Xin Yu is able to gather enough information...... Refers to useful information, or more confident. In addition, it is probably Cao Xueqin who once said that "the world is full of knowledge, and the practice of human feelings is the article".

The astromagicians of this world are just some humans who are relatively powerful but reject ordinary people in their hearts. There are no taboos of all kinds of cultivators, and even astromagicians have the term "diverse", but after all, they are just some "mortals".

For ordinary social relations, although Xin Yu is not good at dealing with such things, he can't stand the fact that there are enough "professional" talents in the Ocean Country. Maybe the "experts" in this world are not as powerful as the "true experts" in Xin Yu's previous life, and they can be all defeated with wisdom, but they still have enough wisdom.

Perhaps, in Xin Yu's opinion, this kind of wisdom is not enough to "sell" the strong, and he can also let the other party help count the money, but it shouldn't be difficult to deal with the astrologist who is relatively "simple" in thinking, right? Especially those who play "politics" belong to the essence of the people, even in terms of IQ, the astrologist has more advantages than ordinary people, but to put it very pretendically, the so-called art industry has a specialization, even if the astronomic is extremely smart, it is not as good as the "politicians" who "fly camp dogs" and "drill camps" all day long.

Therefore, Xin Yu is still confident that he can become like "water".
