C409 Listening to the Rain
Morning. It was drizzling.
It was said that 'good rain knows when it will happen'. Almost every drop of spring rain was extremely precious. It watered the land, waking it up from its winter slumber; it nurtured the vegetation, allowing it to take root, sprout and thrive. Therefore, many people would use the term 'spring rain is as precious as oil' to describe how precious it was.
For 'Rain', Gongsun Zaitian had a very contradictory factor. Whether he liked it or not was one of them. He did not like it when he was in the rain. He did not like it when the rain was constantly watering and scouring him. He did not like it when it was raining either.
However, he was a person who liked to reward 'Rain'. He liked the delicateness and gentleness of 'the drizzle on the street', 'the grass color looking close by but not yet', he also liked the elegance and freshness of 'the rain and the grass shining in the setting sun, the apricot flower falling and the swallow mud fragrance', and he even liked the magical charm of 'the azure color of the clouds descending toward the rain, and the watery color of the smoke'.
At the same time, he was also a person who liked listening to the 'Rain'. If he didn't like it, he wouldn't have named the power he had created 'Listening Rain Pavilion'. The apricot flower faint willow silk, draw the spring river listens to the rain time this kind of picturesque mood, just thinking about it is very fascinating.
The tea in his hand had long since turned cold, without any trace of the green smoke from before. However, his mood was not at this moment because he seemed to be immersed in his own memories. Other than him, no one knew what he was thinking about.
After a long while, Gongsun Ze Tian suddenly opened his mouth and said:
"Young man, listen to the sound of the rain beneath the green mountain, don't know the smell."
"In his prime, in the Rain Universe, the world is wide and wide with laughter."
"Today, at the Rain Red House, I shall be lying in bed with a candle out of the night."
"The past has been shattered, and we can look forward to the Ming dynasty again."
It was a poem with the words' Beauty Yu 'written on it. However, no one knew the name of the poem, nor had anyone heard of it. Perhaps it was a poem written by Gongsun Ze Tian with feelings, or perhaps it was copied from somewhere. But so what? In this continent, was there anyone who could sue Gongsun Zaitian for infringement? Can you still sue him for compensation? Clearly, none of this was possible.
"Pavilion Master? Do you have something on your mind? " Suddenly, a melodious voice rang out from behind Gongsun Zaitian, sounding somewhat worried and nervous. She seemed to be able to understand the meaning behind the words, which was a kind of reminiscence and self-deprecation, a kind of scorn and arrogance, a kind of helplessness and loneliness, and especially the last sentence, a kind of sadness and self-confidence.
Although the words were short, when they came out of Gongsun Zaitian's mouth, it gave people a contradictory feeling.
"Who would not have something on their mind? Without the seven emotions and six desires, without all the common things, can we still be called human? " Gongsun Ztian turned around and smiled as he spoke to the woman.
In the spring of the north, there were many nights when warmth came. Sometimes it was cold and sometimes it was hot. Under this kind of weather, one had to pay more attention to normal matters of warmth. The woman quickly walked in front of Gongsun Ze Tian and took the teacup that was already cold from his hands. She replaced the cup of tea with steaming hot tea and handed it back to Gongsun Ze Tian.
After doing all of this, the woman lightly smiled and said, "Maybe the deities have no worries, they should be very happy! No one has so many worries! "
"Haha ?" A deity? Haha, not to mention those normal immortals, even the exalted 'immortal emperors' would have some troubles, and it's not any less than you at all! " It was as if Gongsun Zaitian had heard the funniest joke in the world, laughing so hard that tears welled out of the corners of his eyes. After laughing for a long time, Gongsun Ze Tian explained to the girl in front of him with a bit of self-mockery.
"How could that be? It sounds as though you have seen it with your own eyes! " The woman retorted. In her view of the world, immortals were omnipotent. Since they were people that couldn't be helped, how could they possibly have any worries? How can there be endless trouble?
Furthermore, she was even more unable to understand the meaning behind Gongsun Zaitian's words. First, let's not talk about what 'Immortal Emperor' was. Simply speaking, his confident words made it seem as though he had seen some sort of 'Immortal Emperor'. Furthermore, he was more familiar with the daily life of the 'Immortals'.
"One day, you will understand! A deity? They are not happy to be alive! " Gongsun Zaitian answered noncommittally.
"Oh!" The woman did not understand the meaning of Gongsun Zaitian's words, but she could hear that he did not want to pursue the topic further. Therefore, the woman could only reply with one word, expressing her dissatisfaction and also saying that she would not pursue the matter any further.
"Alright, let's get back to business. Why are you looking for me?" Gongsun Ze Tian ignored the girl's little thoughts and changed the topic.
"We've received the latest information. Two groups of people have come together!" And we have successfully confirmed the identities of those five people. They are the ones who have come to contact the guards of the Palace of Hua-Yang! " The woman reported. At this time, she had a very businesslike appearance.
"Just five people?" Gongsun Ztian frowned slightly as he asked.
"Just as the Pavilion Master had predicted, there should be around a thousand or so people coming here. However, in order to not expose their whereabouts, they are currently hiding in the mountains to the north of the city!" The woman shook her head and replied.
"Are you sure about the hiding place?" Gongsun Ztian asked.
"It has already been confirmed. This is also the reason why elder sister asked me to inform Pavilion Master right now!" The woman who spoke was none other than the Su sisters, Su Wanting. The local intelligence reports were also personally handled by her, while her sister Su Wanyue mainly focused on the direction of the control and intelligence system, as well as some operational arrangements.
This pair of sisters could really be said to be like a combination of swords. This internal and external situation was also completely natural, no wonder the entire 'Baishang' could grow to its current state in just a short four to five years.
"You should learn more from your sister, Wan Yue!" Gongsun Ze Tian praised as he nodded his head and spoke to Su Wanting.
This matter was handled to the satisfaction of Gongsun Zaitian. As a leader, they did not need to know how complicated the process was, how many difficulties they faced, or what obstacles they encountered. All they cared about was the result. No matter how extravagant the process was, if it failed, then it would be a waste of time!
However, to Gongsun Ze Tian, what he cared about was not the two groups of people who had beaten up their mothers. What he cared about were the people who had come to assist him, and the reason behind these people was Gongsun Ze Tian's trip.
"Of course! Elder sister wants me to ask Pavilion Master what should we do next? " Su Wanting nodded his head proudly as he spoke, as if the one Gongsun Zaitian was praising was not his sister, but her. Mentioning her elder sister, Su Wanting seemed to have thought of something as he asked Gongsun Ze Tian.
"Then tell me what your sister wants to do next." Gongsun Ztian did not voice out his views and arrangements. Instead, he asked Su Wanting in return with a smile.
Whether it was the information system, economic scale, or even the armed forces, they were all comparable to big sects. The only thing that was missing was the foundation, but that needed to be accumulated, and it was not something that would happen in a short period of time.
On the other hand, what made Gongsun Ze Tian worry was that although the leaders under the Listening Rain Pavilion were in charge of everything, they lacked a tacit understanding of each other and independence. These things were very important to a big sect that was growing up normally.
From their creation until now, there was not a single thing in Listening Rain Pavilion that did not count on Gongsun Zaitian's opinion, and even Qiu Canghai and Huang Quan, the two former killer leaders, did not even think twice. This was not what Gongsun Zaitian wanted to see. Therefore, with the implementation of this plan, Gongsun Zaitian wanted to focus on nurturing the people in charge of the various parts of the organization, letting them know how to deal with sudden situations and how to deal with the current situation.
As for Gongsun Ze Tian, he only needed to grasp the general direction. This way, it would not only be easy for him, but even if he leaves this world one day, the Listening Rain Pavilion he created would still be able to survive.
"You're the Pavilion Master, alright? Big Sister and I are both your subordinates, so of course we have to listen to your opinion!" Su Wanting retorted unhappily. It was as if she was accusing Gongsun Zaitian of being lazy, but her expression was somewhat cute!
"What if I'm not here? Don't you have an idea? I believe that Wan Yue has her own thoughts, and you also know that! " Gongsun Ze Tian asked while smiling. At the same time, he spoke confidently to Su Wanting.
"Hmph, it seems like I can't hide anything from you! Tell me how you guessed it first! " Su Wanting pouted, and asked with a look of anger.
"It's simple, because I've been here enjoying the rain since morning!" Gongsun Ztian pointed to the drizzling rain outside the window.
"What does this have to do with the rain?" This time, Su Wanting was completely confused, she muttered a few sentences, and then asked in a puzzled tone.
"Green bamboo hat, green raincoat, slanting wind and drizzling rain!" Gongsun Zaitian did not reply to Su Wanting's words. Instead, he spoke some words from his mouth that Su Wanting found strange, but did not know why he said them.
"What are you talking about!?" It's the same as elder sister, always saying these literary things, making people unable to understand what's going on! " Su Wanting unhappily mumbled, but from her words, two things could be seen. Firstly, her elder sister usually liked to say some poems, and Su Wanting did not know if it was to motivate her younger sister, or to temper her emotions. Secondly, Su Wanting didn't even read books, yet she treated these simple poems as profound as if they were heavenly books.
"You, usually read more books, how intuitive did I say it was!" Gongsun Ze Tian boiled another pot of water on top of the small stove and said to Su Wanting with a hint of reproach.
"Hmph, I just don't understand!" Other than being serious when reporting, Su Wanting did not have any idea of how high or low she should be, nor would she give Gongsun Ze Tian any face, so she coldly snorted and replied. However, when she said those words, it sounded like the words of a little girl acting coquettishly.
