Chapter 1: The First Arrival

Summer weather can sometimes be baby-faced.

When Li Anran first hit the road, the night was still good. Aside from the noise made by the side three wheels riding under him, it was very intentional in the breeze and the bright moon.

But before I could think that after only five or six minutes of driving, the sky was completely overcast, and after a few lightning and thunder flashes, the downpour immediately poured down.

"Hell! The rain couldn't have come at a better time. ”

Seeing that the rain was falling day after day and getting heavier, Li Anran, who had planned to hurry with his life, had to start looking for a place where he could shelter from the rain.

The pouring rain like a water curtain made his vision very blurred, and seeing that there was no store in the village in front of him, Li Anran could only stuff himself into the sidecar.

Fortunately, after performing the rituals, in order to prevent those tools from being blown away, the soft-top telescopic hood of the sidecar was deliberately lowered and locked, so as to prevent the contents from getting wet by the rain.

The only thing that was unpleasant was that the fashionable robe specially designed and customized by someone had just been used once and was completely soaked by the pouring rain.

"Forget it, if it's wet, it's wet, bear with it first. Thanks to the fact that I have three wheels on one side, the kind that has been replaced by two wheels, I just want to hide from the rain at this time, and there is nowhere to hide. ”

Li Anran, who got into the sidecar at the fastest speed and pulled on the soft-top telescopic hood, pulled the wet robe that had been glued to his body, and he was very uncomfortable, and he could only accept his fate when he listened to the sound of the rain hitting outside the soft-top telescopic hood.

Seeing that the rain outside couldn't stop for a while, Li Anran, who was hiding in the sidecar, was idle, took out a flat wine jug and played with his mobile phone while drinking.

Li Anran, who didn't like games in the first place, just lost interest after playing for a while. I accidentally opened the album and saw a familiar figure.

"Grandpa, are you okay now?" looked at the photo in a daze, Li Anran, who was full of sadness in his heart, but his mind unconsciously extended to other places.

It is said that it was a cold winter, and Li Anran was still a newborn baby, but for unknown reasons, he was abandoned by his ruthless parents in the grass on the side of the road and almost froze to death.

It is also fateful to say that it should not be extinct, and Li Gui, a Taoist priest of Youfang, really passed by this place, and was attracted by the cry in the grass, and found out that it was an abandoned baby and adopted it by his side.

With this small "drag", Li Guizhen, who originally had no worries and planned to continue to travel around, simply settled in a small village below the county seat in the south of Nanjing.

Relying on a good medical skill and a very good wine-making skill, although the two of them are not rich in their small life, food and clothing are not a problem.

After Li Anran, who majored in agriculture and forestry, graduated from university, he found a good job in Nanjing, and as long as he rested, he would return home to reunite with Li Guizhen.

Several times wanted to take his grandfather to live in the city, but Li Guizhen just didn't agree. Just when Li Anran was about to mix up his personal appearance, bad news suddenly came.

Li Guizhen, who was originally quite strong, actually said that he would leave, and there was no warning at all. After Li Anran heard the news, he rushed home as fast as he could, but he didn't even see the last side.

The only thing to be thankful for is that Li Guizhen walked very peacefully, and before he died, he deliberately left a very detailed and legal will.

But what made Li Anran depressed was that there was nothing about the house, inheritance, etc. in the will, and it was very strange to make a request in another hidden message.

After reading this message, Li Anran not only knew his true life experience, but also found that his grandfather was not as simple as a Taoist priest.

In Li Anran's eyes, the Taoist priest of Youfang should be the unified synonym of those warlocks and langzhong who walk the rivers and lakes, as well as various eccentric and traditional professions.

Where would you have thought that his grandfather was still a member of the authentic Taoism. According to the message specifically pointed out, it is still the seventeenth generation of the mantle of the Pure Yang Palace.

I didn't expect that I would also become a member of the Taoist family, and Li Anran, who took over the mantle of the Pure Yang Palace, couldn't calm down for a long time in the face of this message.

As for his identity as an outcast, in fact, there is no need for Li Guizhen to explain, in so many years, Li Anran has also noticed some clues.

But unlike those orphans who had to find their own parents if they wanted to die or live after knowing their life experience, Li Anran, who was an adult, didn't think about doing it at all.

Even in Li Guizhen's last words, it was very clear what time and place he had back then, and even Li Anran's belongings at that time.

But after Li Anran read the content about his life experience, he was only sentimental for a while, and decided to pack these things and bury them with his grandfather.

In Li Anran's heart, since his grandfather saved him and worked hard to pull himself up and cultivate him, the two have a relationship between their grandfather and grandson.

Not to mention the vast sea of people, it is impossible to find his biological parents with these clues left, and even if he can find them, Li Anran has never thought of looking for them as an adult.

What really makes it difficult for Li Anran is the mantle of the Pure Yang Palace. I found out that I found out the information about the Chunyang Palace, and the people are the place to worship Lu Zu Lu Dongbin.

I really can't figure out that I have a half-dime relationship with Li Guizhen, who is a Taoist priest of Youfang, but seeing that this matter is the other party's worst wish, Li Anran naturally has to complete it.

After his grandfather's funeral, Li Anran quit his job and returned home to take over Li Guizhen's original job.

Thinking about this, Li Anran listened to the sound of rain hitting from the soft-top telescopic hood, and held the flat wine jug he carried with him and drank without taking a sip.

When thinking of the old saying "the son wants to raise but the kiss does not wait", Li Anran, who was immersed in memories and grief, unconsciously shed two lines of tears.

After Li Anran drank the home-brewed wine in the flat wine jug, he found that in his memories and feelings, the sound of rain outside had become much quieter.

Uncovered the corner of the hood and looked at it, Li Anran found that the rain outside was indeed light, so he didn't care about the light rain, and directly drilled out.

Anyway, the Taoist robe on this body is also soaked, and this little rain is nothing. It makes more sense to get home early and take a hot shower than to keep waiting.

But just as Li Anran was about to start his car, a burst of thunder suddenly sounded in the gloomy night sky, and then a lightning bolt followed.

was startled by the shocking thunder just now, Li Anran was subconsciously patting his chest, and then his eyes turned black, and he didn't know anything.

……

"Dao Chief, Dao Chief, wake up, wake up, wake up, ......"

The worried and anxious male voice called out uncleily, Li Anran tried hard to open his eyes, endured the soreness and tingling pain that penetrated deep into the bone marrow around him, and looked at the people around him.

As a result, the dazzling sunlight caught my eyes, and I couldn't see who was around me at all, and I could only vaguely see that the other party should be a man.

"Wake up, wake up! Finally woke up, great! ”

Seeing Li Anran's movements, Zhao Er's face suddenly burst into laughter.

It's a pity that this person happened to be squatting there with his back to the sun, and Li Anran couldn't see his expression clearly at all, so he could only be sure that most of the people around him were his life-saving benefactor.

As soon as he felt that the soreness and swelling pain on his body had subsided a little, before he could speak, Li Anran felt his stomach twitch, and subconsciously spit out a word: "Hungry!" ”

"Hey, Dao Chief, I'll get you something to eat."

After hearing this voice, Zhao Er quickly ran to the side, broke the millet bun he carried when he entered the mountain into small pieces, put it in a bowl and soaked it with water in the gourd.

"Dao Chief, the food is here, be careful, eat slowly." After the millet bun was soaked softly, Zhao Er carefully helped the person up and brought the steamed bun to the other party's mouth.

There is no oil and no salt, although the millet bun has a natural grain fragrance, but the taste is too far from white noodles. In normal times, Li Anran would definitely not treat himself so badly.

But now I can't care about it, and after feeling the aroma of the food, I immediately swallowed it in a big gulp, and the appearance of eating will definitely make African refugees bow down.

"Eat slowly, eat slowly, be careful of choking."

The honest Zhao Er was very curious about how this very richly dressed Taoist could be so hungry, but he didn't ask, just carefully persuaded him.

After Li Anran swallowed the bowl of soaked millet buns in two bites, he found that the hunger in his stomach not only did not go away, but became even more powerful.

"Still hungry!"

"Hey, Dao Chief, I'll get you another bowl."

After taking the pottery bowl that had been cleaned and slippery, Zhao Er broke his last millet bun into pieces and soaked it in water.

Two bowls of soaked millet buns in succession, although they did not relieve much of the hunger in Li Anran's abdomen, but the strength in his body finally recovered.

"Where am I?"

Sitting up with the soreness and tingling pain that was no longer very bad, Li Anran subconsciously looked around, but found that he was in a completely unfamiliar environment.

"Dao Chief, this is in Qinling, not far from our Zhaojia Village."

Seeing that the person was already able to sit up, and his complexion was a little better than just now, Zhao Er's heart was finally secretly relieved, but he was even more curious.

"Qin Ling? Zhaojia Village? No way! So who are you? ”

Li Anran originally wondered if he was on his way back to the village before he fell into a coma, but after waking up naturally, he ran to the mountain, and it was obviously still a big mountain.

But there are no mountains near Lijiabian (village) where my home is located, and even within the range of ten miles and eight townships, there are only a few small hills with very low altitudes.

When I saw that the person who had just fed me was actually a swarthy man dressed in retro clothes and covered with patches, my heart was even more chuckled.

"My name is Zhao Er, the hunter in the village, the Taoist chief, you have nothing to do, right?"

Obviously feeling that the emotions of the person in front of him were not quite right, Zhao Er couldn't help but worry again.

"Zhao Er? Orion? ”

"Yes, my brother and I are hunters in the village."

Seeing that the other party was obviously not lying to himself, and there were no cameras or anything like that around, the most important thing was that this Zhao Er's accent was very wrong.

Obviously, it is not a mouth list near Lishui County, and it is also not a Nanjing dialect. On the contrary, it is very similar to a four-year college window friend, with a Guanzhong accent from Xi'an City.

As a post-80s generation who has been in college for four years, it is natural to read fast food books such as online novels, and the sense of uneasiness in Li Anran's heart has become more and more intense.

"Zhao Er is right?"

"Yes, Dao Chief, it's me."

"Do you know what year Lu Dao is now?"

"I heard the patriarch say that now is the first year of Zhenguan."

"Chastity...... Zhenguan Yuan...... The first year? ”

Li Anran, who got the answer, was completely stunned......
