Chapter 580: Li Xundao, Mu Laozu gambling, Senior Goldfish
Bad luck and disaster came upon him, and Mu Qi's forehead was faintly black. The change came suddenly, making him look suspicious and his eyes flicker. It lasted for a few seconds before the feeling stopped. Although his body was not unwell and his spirits were full, he didn't know why he felt uncomfortable. He seemed extremely depressed and had a lot of depression in his chest.

With a crisp sound, the black chess piece he was holding with his fingers suddenly cracked, split into two halves and fell onto the chessboard. Before Mu Qi could react, the wooden stool he was sitting on fell apart and fell to the ground with a thump.
The series of accidents made Mu Qi's face pale in an instant. He murmured, "Bad luck, bad luck. Since ancient times, those who are good at calculations have all had a hard time ending up well. All the fortune tellers in the Divine Calculation Sect died in the thunderbolt from the sky. Am I going to follow in his footsteps?"
"Definitely not, absolutely not. In the future, unless it is necessary, you are not allowed to make plans or deduce layouts. You should hide for a few days and never go out. If Mu Shu comes to find you again, tell her to leave."
Mu Qi got up from the ground, brushed off the dust on his body, and heard another tearing sound. He accidentally tore a big hole in his robe. Bad luck had come to him.
Meanwhile, Mu Qin finished her conversation with Jinyu and walked to a big tree. She kicked it a few times, and the leaves rustled. She frowned slightly and kicked it a few more times. The tree shook even more. A strange sound came from the treetop, and a man in white fell down with a plop.
"Let him fall to his death." Mu Qin looked at the figure expressionlessly, feeling angry. She told Li Changxiao all the information she had obtained.
Patriarch Mu and Li Xundao once had a bet that each of them threw three ordinary fish into Fan Lake, and agreed to compare the fish every three, ten, twenty, fifty, and one hundred years to see whose fish lived more, lived better, and lived more lively.
The fish raised by Li Xundao are black carp, grass carp and carp, all of which are common fish. The fish raised by Mu Laozu are brocade fish, dragon fish and jiu fish. Brocade fish are precious and intelligent, dragon fish are cruel and strong, and jiu fish are very good at camouflage, like to hide in the mud, and have strong adaptability.
Six fish fell into the lake, and the two men educated and trained them respectively. Three years later, the dragon fish had a strong physique and sharp teeth, and became the overlord of the lake. The same was true for the brocade fish and the jiu fish, each with its own strengths, showing its extraordinaryness. On the other hand, Li Xundao's black carp, grass carp, and carp were in an awkward situation. After three years, they were still the same as ordinary fish.
Mu Qin said: "At that time, Patriarch Mu thought he had won. When he came back ten years later, the situation was even worse. The black carp and grass carp were all eaten, and there was only one carp left on Li Xundao's side."
"I came back 20 years later, and the results were completely different. Li Xundao's carp was intact and swimming freely in the lake. Although Mu Laozu's dragon fish was still ferocious, the carp was more agile compared to the other two fish."
"Later, the dragon fish, brocade fish, and jiu fish all died of old age, leaving only the carp. It became more and more active, and vaguely merged with the lake. Naturally, Li Xundao won this battle."
Li Changxiao seemed to have realized something. Although they seemed to be comparing fish, they were actually discussing the Dao. Ancestor Mu had a strong personality and thought that to fight with others, one needed the ruthlessness of a dragon fish, the dormancy of a girdled fish, and the wisdom of a brocade fish. However, Li Xundao saw things differently. Black carp, grass carp, and carp were all so common that they couldn't be more common.
Li Changxiao couldn't see Li Xundao clearly, but he could understand what Mu Laozu was doing. From this point of view, Mu Laozu's defeat was not unfair. "That goldfish just now was the carp planted by Senior Li Xundao, right?" Li Changxiao asked.
Mu Qin nodded, "Yes, that carp has the method to enter the Great Heaven Realm."
"Oh?" Li Chang laughed.
Mu Qin told Li Changxiao that the goldfish had lived here for a long time, more than thousands or tens of thousands of years. For a mortal fish to have such a long lifespan was really the blessing of God. With the blessing of heaven and earth, it was invisibly in touch with heaven and earth, and its understanding of this place was far greater than that of others.
After the spiritual energy was exhausted, the Great Heaven Realm was completely closed, and many disciples of the Mu Mansion were forced to go out. Now they are returning one after another. The goldfish has also seen it. It didn't want to care about the affairs of the Mu Mansion, but now seeing the two of them, it suddenly has an idea and wants to ask the two of them for help. After the success, it will naturally tell them the method to enter the Great Heaven Realm.
"Old Goldfish is fed up with the narrowness of the lake and wants us to send it into the sea?" Li Changxiao said leisurely.
"How do you know?" Mu Qin was stunned. Li Chang smiled but said nothing. Everyone has obsessions. Goldfish have survived for countless years. If they have obsessions, they will only be deeper. He had already captured it from the moment the goldfish poked its head out of the water.
"Hmph." Seeing that Li Changxiao didn't answer, Mu Qin snorted and stopped asking. The two discussed for a while and decided to find a way to transport the goldfish to the sea tomorrow. Mu Qin returned to the lakeside and told the goldfish their decision.
The goldfish spoke in human language, saying: "If you want to seek the great way, you must give up something before you can gain."
After hearing this, both of them seemed to be thinking about something. Li Changxiao wrote down the word "willing to give up" in his heart, wondering whether this was what Li Xundao had realized or what Senior Jinyu had realized.
After resting for a night by the lake, Li Changxiao rushed to the surrounding towns and bought a geographical map of the surrounding area to see where the nearest sea was. After planning the route, he went to prepare some necessary items and started his action at nightfall.
The goldfish was about half the length of a person, so a slightly larger bucket was needed to hold it. Li Changxiao cut down some trees, used the Qingping Sword as a saw, made a solid bucket, filled it with lake water, and put the goldfish in. He also rented three strong horses and a carriage.
The buckets of goldfish were placed in the carriage and transported to the seaside. Mu Qin, who had never done any housework, could not help at all. She could only watch from the side. When everything was ready, she would sit on the horse and go with them.
After walking for several days, Li Changxiao changed the water and fed the goldfish, taking good care of it. During the journey, they chatted frequently. Li Changxiao was very interested in the stories of Li Xundao and Mu Laozu, and wanted to learn something from the goldfish.
The goldfish didn't know that the man who raised it was called Li Xundao, let alone that he was the leader of the Dao Sect. Or, in other words, Li Xundao at that time had not yet become the world-famous leader of the Dao Sect. It only called him "benefactor". In the third year in the lake, its intelligence was already not low, no different from that of ordinary people, and it could speak and utter human language, but it could not practice cultivation.
All the way to the beach, Li Changxiao and the goldfish were obviously getting along well. Sometimes the goldfish would ask Li Changxiao for wine. One day when the moon was full, Li Changxiao put the bucket containing the goldfish on the ground and sat on it himself.
This man and this fish were actually admiring the moon, taking a sip of wine each, and being very close. Mu Qin spat and couldn't help thinking, this guy is quite amazing, he can even get along well with the fish.
The journey takes about seven or eight days.
At about noon, something unexpected happened. The carriage was moving slowly along the road when three men in black robes blocked the road ahead.
