Chapter 449: What's there to be willing about?
After Rong Xun left the General of Cavalry's Mansion, he asked Jingwen to drive to Ran's Mansion.
When Ran Man heard that Rong Xun was here, he came over with a big smile on his face, "Sir Rong, it is such an honor to have you come to my house."
Rong Xun smiled and said, "Wizard Ran is really generous. When others see me, they avoid me for fear that I will bring bad luck to them."
"what……"
Ran Man was stunned. "This, this must be someone talking nonsense. How could Lord Rong be ominous?"
"It's not a rumor," he paused and looked around, "I went to the home of former Censor Liu before, but later Censor Liu's family got involved in some affairs of the former Jinzhou governor, so they moved out of the capital."
Ran Man: “…”
"There was also the Pingxi Palace. They also invited me to have tea. I couldn't resist their kindness, so I went too. Later, I guess Wizard Ran must have heard some rumors after being in the capital for so long, right?"
"And that..."
Ran Man interrupted quickly, "Master Rong, Master Rong, please stop talking."
When he first heard about the Director of the Imperial Observatory, he was disdainful of him, but when he actually met him for the first time, he was already shocked.
He asked cautiously, "I don't know why Lord Rong is here this time?"
Rong Xun took out the Tai Chi ball and said, "Wizard Ran's poisonous insects have indeed alleviated some of my symptoms. It's okay to be bloodthirsty every day, but is the wizard hiding something from me?"
"This... what does Lord Rong mean by this?"
Rong Xun twisted his bony fingers. His previously powerful internal strength seemed to have been mostly destroyed, and his Taoist magic had almost disappeared.
He raised his eyes and met Ran Man's gaze.
The two looked at each other, neither of them was defeated. Ran Man didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "All my wealth and honor are thanks to Lord Rong. Otherwise, even if Ran Man had the ability to reach the sky, he would not have received these rewards from the emperor."
Rong Xun smiled and said, "Is it really true that I can only rely on this Gu for the rest of my life?"
"Of course, Lord Rong is now one with the Gu." Ran Man said cautiously, "This is a serious matter, Lord Rong, please take it seriously. I am not exaggerating."
Look at Ran Man’s assured expression.
Rong Xun couldn't tell the truth from the false for a moment, and he felt very disappointed.
In the past, he was always on the high ground.
Looking down at all living beings, watching them go through the hardships of life and being driven by money, power and desire, he was cold and ridiculous.
Now, as his abilities became increasingly weaker, he realized how weak he was after being deprived of the power of peek.
Just like Ran Man in front of him.
He couldn't see through it either.
Ran Man looks honest and simple, and always smiles when he sees people. It's hard to find fault with him, but you can still feel that he is not ordinary.
"okay, I get it."
Rong Xun picked up the square teacup and drank calmly.
Ran Man also accompanied him, but he would glance at Rong Xun from time to time, and his heart was beating fast.
This man came to him--
I always feel that it is not a good thing.
"I heard from General Xie that the wizard was the former state teacher of Yelang. How could he want to come to my Cangyun country—" He smiled, "What I mean is, you don't have any official position in Cangyun now, are you really willing to do this?"
"Hey, what's there to be unwilling about?" Ran Man's eyes fell on the yard, "Yelang Kingdom is just a tiny place. Even if the national teacher is there, his life is not as good as mine now."
Rong Xun just smiled and said nothing.
Ran Man continued, "It was only after I arrived at Cangyun that I realized that Yelang was at most a state or a tribe, not a great country."
"It was only after I left Yelang that I realized how wonderful the world outside is," he picked up a book at random, "and the writing on it is richer than ours."
“The content of the book is even richer, which makes me sigh.”
Ran Man indeed looked as if he was sighing.
"Well."
After a few pleasantries, Rong Xun had no reason to continue sitting there.
When he left, he looked at the rockery and waterside pavilion in the mansion for a while.
"Although the water in the waterside pavilion is very good, it is stagnant water in the final analysis. Stagnant water, stagnant water is unlucky after all..."
Ran Man smiled.
He didn't think there was anything wrong with it.
Rong Xun added: "My coming here will definitely bring bad luck to the wizard. If the wizard minds, just do as Rong says and I will ensure that everything goes well for you."
Without waiting for Ran Man to answer, Rong Xun pointed to the water pavilion and said, "If we dig a stream of running water there, it will surely ensure that everything the wizard wants will go well."
"Farewell."
Rong Xun went away.
Ran Man even watched his carriage go away.
When passing by the rockery and waterside pavilion, I couldn't help but look at it for a while longer.
Although he didn't understand some things of Taoism, but, each side has its own customs...
In his mind, Ran Man couldn't help thinking of what Rong Xun said was ominous, that Censor Liu, King Pingxi, and others had met with misfortune...
The concept of Feng Shui is by no means alarmist.
"Father……"
Ran Man was looking around the water pavilion when he heard his only disciple coming back.
He looked at Jin Cheng, but his expression was not as kind as when he was with Rong Xun.
The sharp eyes seemed to spit poison.
He put his hands behind his back and frowned, "Father, I remember you said that Cang Yun Guojian is a very capable person, but he is much weaker than I thought, even like an ordinary person."
Jin Cheng lowered his head, his face was pale and reflective.
The veins on his forehead were brown-red and slightly prominent, which looked quite scary.
He clasped his fists and said, "Father, you don't know. They look harmless, but their methods are profound. At the very least, they can bring misfortune to one's fate, or even destroy one's family!"
"It's really a great skill."
"Father, although I didn't grow up in the capital, Jinzhou is not far from the capital. When I was young, I often lived in the capital with my family. The Imperial Observatory is something that not only the common people, but even the emperor cannot easily offend."
Ran Man frowned, "If that's the case, then shouldn't his disciple have a good relationship with you? Why doesn't he have any ability?"
"After all, he has only been learning Taoism for a few years, so his skills are certainly not as good as those of the Supervisor."
"That's right..." Ran Man looked at Jin Cheng. His face was between normal and abnormal.
"Don't worry, your father will definitely cure you in the future and allow you to marry and have children normally."
Jin Cheng smiled and said, "My son only wants to be filial to his godfather. It is not important for him to get married and have children."
He lowered his head, with a cold light in his eyes.
It is indeed not important to get married and have children. What is important is that he avenges his father and the Wei family!
"No, that won't do. The only regret in my life is that I have no descendants. My skills cannot be lost." He put his hand on Jin Cheng's shoulder, "You have to continue the incense for my Ran family."
Jin Cheng looked at Ran Man, biting his lip as if he was grateful, "Yes, my son will listen to his godfather."
Ran Man nodded, "This Rong Xun, I really can't see through him. He just said that my waterside pavilion...is not very good."
"If what Lord Rong said is true, then it should be true."
"Then you can go find a craftsman and do what Lord Rong said to modify this water pavilion and dig a way out."
Jin Cheng looked in the direction Ran Man pointed and said, "Yes, son, I will obey your command."
