Chapter 584: Goldfish Enters the Sea, Great Heaven Realm Enters the Law
Mu Qin had a cold personality and few people or things could touch her heart. She felt it was a pity that the goldfish was lost, and she missed a good opportunity to enter the Great Heaven Realm. But when she thought of Li Changxiao, she felt a little more guilty.
On the way, he got along well with the goldfish and became familiar with it. He wondered if he would blame him if he handed over the goldfish, or think that he was cold-hearted and selfish. Mu Qin thought again that he was just like this and had never changed. Li Changxiao should have known it long ago, but for some reason, he felt a little uncomfortable when he thought that Li Changxiao would be like this.
The two of them stopped at the river bank. Mu Qin sat cross-legged on the spot, closed her eyes and rested, washing away all the distracting thoughts. She didn't know why or when it started, but she began to have a lot of thoughts. She often felt worried about gains and losses, and she couldn't help herself. She had to recite the meditation mantra silently to be as calm and indifferent as before.
The river goddess of Lingtianzhou, even though she was far away from her home, was far more sensitive to the river than ordinary monks. She could command the river to defend against enemies and turn danger into safety by walking along the river. Therefore, after the two of them determined their itinerary, they mostly walked along the river while looking for the goldfish. If something went wrong, they would jump into the river, and the crisscrossing and winding river would help them escape, retaining their strength to the maximum extent, without having to fight to the death with others.
On the way, Mu Qin asked Li Changxiao cryptically what he thought about the affairs of the Mu Mansion. Li Changxiao seemed to be heartless, happy when there was wine, happy when there was food, and happy when there was beauty by his side, but he would make fun of her, but in fact he was thoughtful. Even in the midst of worldly turmoil, he could always keep his own thoughts, and some of his views were unique.
The two of them often discussed the Dao, and both benefited greatly from it. Mu Qin could intuitively feel that the handsome young man who shouted and forgot the Dao that day had now reached a deep level of Dao. Although some of his knowledge was still superficial in her opinion, it was already better than most people, and there were also some remarkable points.
When talking about Taoism, Mu Qin would often sigh at the end, wondering what she was thinking about. Perhaps she was thinking of Si Nian. Now, in terms of Taoism, Li Changxiao obviously surpassed Si Nian. Looking back, she had underestimated Li Changxiao, but it was no wonder. Since the beginning of the era of seeking change, Si Nian and Mu Qin have been busy with reforms, while Li Changxiao was a bohemian who traveled around the world without restraint, visited tombs, sect ruins, and read all kinds of Taoist books. With such experience, even an ordinary mortal who has never entered Taoism would increase his Taoism, let alone Li Changxiao.
However, it can be seen from this that Li Changxiao's talent for cultivation is mediocre, but his talent for cultivating the Tao is very good. His perception and understanding of the Tao, his reflection and self-examination, are not matched by ordinary people, and are also a rare talent.
Every time they had a deep conversation, Mu Qin would always be shocked by the other party, and then she would sigh that the exhaustion of spiritual energy was really cruel. If everything remained the same, Li Changxiao would continue to walk like this, even if he walked slowly, one day he would achieve great achievements and even surpass himself.
She never expressed these feelings, but they echoed in her heart. Many things were hard to say, and she kept them in her heart for a long time. Fortunately, Li Changxiao was sharp-minded. Although women's minds were hard to guess, Li Changxiao originally thought that Fairy Mu was cold and straightforward by nature, so it should be easier to guess. However, after spending a few months together, she found that it was not the case, and it was even harder to guess. So she spent some time guessing, and gradually realized that Mu Qin's several conversations and questions about her opinions were just indirect hints. She wanted to know whether she had a gap because of the goldfish.
The guess was made in the evening today, and the two happened to be camping by the lake. Li Changxiao joked, "The palms and backs of your hands are all made of flesh, but the flesh on the palms is thicker."
Mu Qin heard what was meant, her face was calm, she ate the fish quietly, but her mood was inexplicably happy. How could she know that today's worries were just groundless worries. In Li Changxiao's view, this matter was neither right nor wrong. Since it had happened, he had to find a way to solve it, that's all. As for the saying that the palms and backs of the hands are all flesh, it was just an ordinary joke. This joke was far more useful than a serious explanation.
And it's hard to predict what will happen in this world. The next morning, the sun was shining, and a stream of water sprayed from the river. Li Changxiao turned sideways and barely avoided it. He sat up with sleepy eyes.
The goldfish that had been lost for several days and caused a bloody storm actually swam back along the river. The golden fish head poked out of the river and started talking in a crackling manner.
It turned out that when the goldfish went out, he was in the mood for fun at first and didn't know where the dangers lay. After being passed around a few times, he found the outside world really exciting and didn't feel scared at all. Instead, he wanted to meet more people.
But later, the dispute grew bigger and more casualties occurred, until a few days ago, when a monk tried to cut open the fish's belly to find out its secrets, and scared it half to death.
Fortunately, accidents happened one after another. The goldfish fell into a river and wandered around until recently, when it saw the traces of two people. After thinking about it, it felt that these two people were the most reliable, so after several twists and turns, it finally came back.
There really are such coincidences in this world. Considering the current situation, if he travels with the goldfish, he will definitely encounter many obstacles. Li Changxiao is not afraid, but the water here is too deep, so he should avoid it if he can and not show off his ability.
Mu Qin said, "The sea is in the west, and we two will go in opposite directions, heading east."
She walked to the river, tapped the river surface with her finger, closed her eyes, and felt the winding riverbed with all her heart. She said, "Thirty-five miles east, there is a muddy river that flows westward and directly into the sea. We can reach the destination in one day by following the river, and it is not easy for others to find us."
The two of them took action immediately, and before noon, they successfully arrived at the Nishui River. They boarded a small boat and sailed down the river. Mu Qin sat at the bow of the boat. With every thought, the river water rushed faster and faster, sweeping the small boat along and speeding up.
No matter how many obstacles it encountered along the way, it got through them all safely. As it got closer and closer to the sea, the goldfish poked its head out with its eyes sparkling. It had never seen such a vast world.
It was dusk, the setting sun cast a golden halo over the sea, a fish swam from the river into the sea, followed by a small boat. The goldfish dived, then jumped out of the sea with force, splashing water, swimming freely between heaven and earth, full of energy. In comparison, the gently floating boat seemed quiet and beautiful.
Mu Qin looked into the distance and thought, "Even if it has nothing to do with the Great Heaven Realm, it's not a loss to be able to see this scenery."
As the sun sets, the water and the sky merge into one, golden and brilliant.
The goldfish swam farther and farther away, and its figure seemed to merge with the afterglow and gradually disappeared from sight. A voice in Mu Qin's heart resounded, which was the method to enter the Great Heaven Realm.
