Chapter 871
Finally, under Feng Qi’s explanation, Lin Ran then understood the reason for it.
It turned out that every three years, the Ten Thousand Treasures Spell Formation appeared to be just a fluttering gathering of people vying for a chance, but in reality, there was a great deal of things involved within it.
The feng shui masters who usually stroll around the country would all gather in Fengling Town during this period.
The nearest place to Fengling Town is Tanjiang City, and after the end of the Ten Thousand Treasures Spell Formation, these people will all make a trip to Wanren Mountain, saying that they are going to see the scenery, but in fact many of them want to solve the mystery of Wanren Mountain.
After all, the dangerous terrain of Wan Ren Mountain and the legends that have been told for so many years have been an unsolved mystery in the feng shui world, so many people would take a trip up here after the end of the Wan Bao spell formation.
And this time, the vast majority of the people who went missing near the Wan Ren Mountain were Feng Shui masters.
“As for the poisoning phenomenon that appeared in Temperance City in the past two days, it was actually also related to those feng shui masters going missing!”
Feng Qi said.
“Clan Chief Feng, then what kind of power is the other party?”
Lin Ran asked with a frown.
To be able to take so many Feng Shui masters captive in one breath, the other party’s strength definitely wouldn’t be too weak.
“I can only tell you that it’s a very evil force, they often take people away from our side, and once these people are taken away, they almost never reappear, whether they’re dead or hidden away somewhere, no one knows! It’s as if these people have evaporated!”
Fengqi said precious.
“Well! That’s all I can say, think it over if you want to go or not, we’ll move tomorrow night at twelve o’clock sharp, and if you don’t show up, someone else will take your place!”
With that said, Feng Qi got up straight away, smiled at Lin Ran and left with a leap.
“Clan Chief Feng!”
Lin Ran still wanted to say something else, but the other party had already disappeared into the street.
“Tomorrow night, in such a hurry!”
Lin Ran sat down in his seat and picked up his tea in his heart, he couldn’t help but feel some bitterness.
He had only just returned from the imperial capital, and hadn’t even had time to properly accompany the four daughters, before he ran into this kind of thing again.
After sitting alone on the roof for a long time, Lin Ran then got up and went downstairs.
At this time, the four women were already making arrangements for lunch. Since they hadn’t eaten in the morning, they were very concerned about this lunch, and had even ordered takeaway and cleared the table early, just waiting for the meal to arrive.
“What’s wrong with you?”
Seeing Lin Ran’s gloomy face, Song Nuan went forward and asked.
“Nothing, just a little preoccupation!”
Lin Ran said with a bland smile.
“Something on your mind? How about sharing it with us?”
Luo Qiqi laughed.
“I’ve said it’s a matter of the heart, how can I share it?”
Lin Ran said helplessly.
“It’s because it’s a matter of the heart that you have to say it, otherwise how can we help you!”
Qin Bing also said.
“That’s right, just say it!”
Su Rou chimed in beside her again.
“Alright!”
Lin Ran said with a helpless show of hands.
“I’m going out tomorrow night, and as for what I’m going for, I can’t tell you guys!”
Lin Ran said, sweeping his gaze over the four of them, and suddenly thought of something.
“Speaking of which, I do have to ask you guys!”
“What are you guys planning to do in the future?”
“Huh?”
Lin Ran asked suddenly, causing all four of them to be stunned, not understanding what Lin Ran meant.
Jingle Bells …..
Suddenly the door to the room rang, apparently the delivery guy had arrived.
“I’ll go get the food first!”
Song Nuan laughed, while running to fetch the food back.
Lin Ran didn’t say much, helping to set up the food together, and only after the group had eaten a few bites did he speak.
“I don’t want to push you guys, but I really don’t feel comfortable with you guys like this now!”
The four women all stopped their chopsticks at his words and looked at Lin Ran without speaking.
“There are some things that I don’t want to say! But now I’m afraid the time has come when I have to say it.”
Lin Ran sighed, put down his chopsticks, looked at the four women, and solemnly said.
“Originally, I thought that we could live our lives in an uneventful manner like we are now, but recently I have discovered that this is likely to be an extravagant hope, and after a short while, I will probably leave, and it will even be for a long time, and the only thing I can’t worry about now is you guys!”
Lin Ran said.
“Why do you want to leave, no one is stopping you if you want to live such an uneventful life, you are perfectly fine!”
Luo Qiqi asked.
“No, he can’t!”
Song Nuan, however, spoke up.
All three women looked at her.
“He always has one thing in his heart that he hasn’t unlocked, so he won’t stop!”
Song Nuan said.
“What is it?”
Qin Bing asked.
“The matter of Wang Kun!”
Lin Ran said indifferently.
“My parents’ death is related to him, but he’s disappeared now, so if I want to find him, I have to work hard to become stronger, and on this road to becoming stronger, I’ll experience many things, and therein lies the difference!”
Lin Ran said, unable to resist rubbing his face as he continued.
“Moreover, the stronger I get, the more things I’ll face, and the less time I’ll have to spend with you guys!”
“I really feel so guilty!”
“No need to feel guilty, it’s our choice to like you, it’s your choice to track down the killer, you’re not wrong! We’re not wrong either!”
Su Rou spoke up.
“I just hope that if I do have to leave for a while one day, whether you guys wait for me or not is fine, but you must be safe and happy!”
Lin Ran said, letting out a long breath.
“I just can’t worry about you guys!”
Saying this, Lin Ran looked at the four women and concluded.
“You guys shouldn’t think that I’m too nosy, I’m actually doing this for your own good, you definitely want to help me on the path to becoming stronger, so I need to know your plans for the future now, and I’ll find the time to help you, at least until you’ve all settled down, I’ll be able to leave with peace of mind!”
“Plans for the future?”
All four women were stunned.
“That’s easy, you’ve said that before, and I’ve spoken to my father during the time you’ve been in the empire, I’m definitely going into business and starting from scratch!”
Luo Qiqi laughed, indeed she had rung a lot since she had been home this time.
It wasn’t just her, in fact all four women understood in their hearts that Lin Ran was getting stronger and stronger, and if they couldn’t get stronger too, I was afraid that they would eventually drift apart from each other.
“I don’t have any plans, I just want to do my job, teaching and educating people!”
Su Rou said with a bitter smile.
“I’m pretty much the same, healing the sick and saving people is the best job there is, I love it!”
Qin Bing also said.
“Teaching and healing are both quite good, you guys keep up the good work!”
Lin Ran laughed.
He didn’t know what to do about Qin Bing and Su Rou, after all, the promotion of their work all depended on them, and if Luo Qiqi was in business, he might be able to help out a bit, but of course it was insignificant compared to Luo Ming, I’m afraid.
“What about you?”
Lin Ran looked at Song Nuan.
Song Nuan was silent.
“I don’t know!”
“Don’t you like dancing?”
Su Rou asked busily.
“I like it, but in the end it’s just my hobby, and what I really like about my job, even I don’t know!”
Song Nuan laughed bitterly.
If she knew, she wouldn’t feel so bad.
“Or else you’ll go into business with me?”
Luo Qiqi laughed.
Song Nuan, however, shook her head.
“I can’t, because of my father’s relationship, I can’t engage in business!”
“That’s right!”
Luo Qiqi was helpless.
Lin Ran, on the other hand, was even more clueless.
“Forget about dinner, there’s still a few days left, we’ll think about it in the long run!”
Chapter 872
After lunch, the four women gathered together again to chat, and they had a good time when they had a rare free moment.
Lin Ran, on the other hand, stayed alone on the first floor and worked for a long time.
In the evening, after having dinner, Lin Ran went outside the district, and before most of a while, Wang Yifeng appeared, along with Master Yu who also followed him.
“Master!”
“What’s wrong with Ranzi?”
When he saw Lin Ran, Wang Yifeng immediately asked.
Master Yu, on the other hand, looked a lot calmer, thinking that he had finished settling the matter from last time.
“I have something to say to you two!”
Lin Ran said, while greeting the two of them as they entered the district, walking around the district as they spoke.
“I’m going to a place tomorrow night, a place that I can only go to alone, because it’s important so there are some things I have to arrange!”
Lin Ran said as he took out a white crystal stone, it was a naturally formed onyx, however it had a very large number of runes carved into it by Lin Ran, so it was clearly no longer a mundane object.
“Master Yu, this is a formation bead, I have placed formations in all corners of the district, once there is movement of the feng shui gra*s, this bead will sense it!”
Lin Ran said as he handed the bead to Master Yu.
“You and Fatty stay in the district from tomorrow night, opposite Song Nuan’s house, I’ve rented a house, you guys stay here for the night tomorrow night, once the bead reacts in any way, you guys go straight there, make sure the four of them are safe!”
“Ranzi, what’s going on?”
Wang Yifeng was busy asking, seeing how strict Lin Ran was, it was obviously not something simple.
“Last night, someone broke into Song Nuan’s house!”
Lin Ran said indifferently.
“You didn’t even catch up?”
Wang Yifeng wondered, he knew Lin Ran’s strength very well, but even he hadn’t caught him, so I’m afraid the other party had come with a lot of power!
“No! But he’s injured, and I’m afraid he’ll come back tomorrow night, so I need your help!”
Lin Ran said.
“Don’t worry, with Fat Master I’m here to keep watch, there’s absolutely no problem!”
Wang Yifeng patted his chest and said.
Master Yu also said solemnly.
“Master, please don’t worry, I will get this done!”
“Mm!”
Lin Ran nodded his head, then gave Fatty another look.
“Just say what you have to say, we have this relationship, and you’re still stammering!”
Wang Yifeng said without good humour.
“It’s nothing, I just want to advise you to read more!”
Lin Ran laughed.
“Screw you!”
Net Yifeng gave him a blank look without good grace, and then left with Master Yu.
He wouldn’t be coming over until tomorrow night, so he was definitely still going to look for Xiao Cui tonight, after all, he hadn’t seen her for so long, he really missed her too.
Master Yu was a bit lonely, but fortunately, this guy was so dedicated to feng shui that he could study the way of feng shui without worrying.
Lin Ran went home and spent a relaxing evening with the four girls.
The next day, Qin Bing went to work as usual, while Song Nuan went back home, after all, she had to go back to see her after graduation.
Su Rou went to school to pack her things, as she was going to move in for the summer holidays.
As for Luo Qiqi, she had gone to help out at the clinic with Qin Bing.
Lin Ran sat at home alone, remodelling all the feng shui in the house again, and only when everyone returned in the evening was he considered to have finished his work.
During this time, Lin Ran did not mention the topic of the people’s future plans, he also knew that this could not be rushed and could only be done step by step.
“I’ll leave after dinner, I’ve arranged for Fatty and Master Yu to be on the opposite side, if there’s anything you can call out to them directly!”
Lin Ran said as he ate.
“Don’t be like that, make it sound like you’re parting from life and death!”
Qin Bing said with a frown.
“That’s right, what can happen, we’ve been staying here for two days! It’s all fine!”
Luo Qiqi also laughed .
Lin Ran smiled at that but laughed.
“You guys really think it’s fine, in fact, I didn’t go to your room the night before last to close the window!”
“Going to tell the truth now? We knew you were definitely scheming!”
Su Rou laughed.
Lin Ran listened but shook his head.
“You guys are thinking too much, a man in black broke into your room that night!”
Lin Ran said.
“What?”
Song Nuan’s face immediately went white at the words, and the other three women’s pretty faces also went white, and immediately the four of them’s hearts lifted.
“There are many dangers lurking around, only none of you are aware of them, so you must be careful tonight when I’m not here!”
Lin Ran warned.
He had said all he could, the rest would only depend on whether the other side would come, and the two of them, Wang Yifeng.
“So you can’t not go tonight?”
Song Nuan asked.
“I can’t!”
Lin Ran shook his head.
As he spoke, he had already finished his meal and put the dishes away, immediately getting up and looking at the crowd again.
“I’m leaving first! See you in the morning!”
With that, Lin Ran turned around and picked up his luggage and left.
“Why do I get the feeling that he’s not sure of himself this time either!”
Looking at Lin Ran’s back as he left, Su Rou said with a worried face.
“Maybe he’s really not sure, that’s why he’s in such a hurry to get us set up!”
Song Nuan said softly.
“Aren’t we a bit too uncompetitive?”
Luo Qiqi asked with her head bowed.
“I don’t know, I just feel that if we don’t work harder, I’m afraid we won’t be able to help him at all in the future!”
Qin Bing whispered, a sense of urgency already in her heart.
“Let’s discuss it tonight, shall we!”
Song Nuan suggested.
“Mm!”
The four women all nodded at her words, Qin Bing’s words were to the point, if they didn’t work hard, they were afraid that they really wouldn’t be able to help Lin Ran in the future.
They were all proud at heart, and none of them wanted to have to watch Lin Ran leave on his own, without a single thing they could do.
…..
When he left home, Lin Ran went straight to a dilapidated van.
The van was one he had bought specially from the second-hand market for this mission.
Driving the broken van, Lin Ran left the neighborhood directly and headed towards Wan Ren Shan in the night.
Wang Yifeng stood at the window, watching Lin Ran’s back as he left.
He and Lin Ran had been born and died for so many years that they were already like brothers, but as long as he mentioned Wan Ren Shan, he would never forget the incident that happened back then.
Lin Ran’s parents, either directly or indirectly, had died at the hands of his own father, although Lin had never mentioned it.
But whenever he talked about the Ten Thousand Rengshan Mountains, he would always remember this incident.
“I have to work hard too!”
Wang Yifeng sighed, although he had a big grin on the surface, he actually knew in his heart that Lin Ran was getting stronger and stronger, if he continued to stagnate, one day he would also retire from the stage of history.
Under the night curtain, a broken van drove straight towards the direction of Wan Ren Mountain.
Because of the previous natural disaster, the tourism resources of Wan Ren Mountain were not as good as before tomorrow, and at this time of night, the whole scenic spot could be said to be in darkness, with not even a single light.
When the car stopped at the entrance of the scenic spot, Lin Ran got out of the car alone. He took out the bag of black liquid and poured it into his mouth with one gulp.
It was light and tasteless, but soon he realised that the scent of his entire body had changed, the scent was familiar to him, it was the same kind of venom he had felt when he was at the bottom of the Wanbao spell.
“Pillow Book, don’t let Little Nine out tonight!”
Lin Ran instructed one last time, before stepping up to the Ten Thousand Refugees Mountain.
