When Li Anran finished his sword practice and walked to Zhao Er's house, he found an old man standing in the yard of Zhao Er's house, watching around the sick cow that was being fed tea and porridge.

From a distance, this old man is actually not very old, probably only about fifty years old. But based on the average lifespan of ancient people, this age is indeed considered an old man.

Moreover, the chaos caused by the war at the end of the Sui Dynasty made people everywhere miserable, and a large number of elderly people could not survive. It is considered good to live to the age where you know your destiny.

"Taoist Priest, this is the clan elder of our village, clan elder, this is the Taoist Priest I met in the mountains." Seeing someone coming back, Zhao Er quickly stepped forward and introduced him.

"I've met the Taoist priest. I heard that a distinguished guest came to Zhao Er's house, so I came here to visit. I hope you won't be offended." Zhao Qingshan, who looked good, said politely.

"I've met the clan elders. I'm new here, so please forgive me for causing any inconvenience." Li Anran, who gave a Taoist hand-over-hand salute, also greeted him very politely.

"Taoist Priest, you are very polite. I heard that Taoist Priest cured the Zhao family's sick cow as soon as he came. I would like to thank you on behalf of the Zhao family." Zhao Qingshan, smiling, saluted again.

"Zhao Er and I have a life-saving grace. It's a small thing, just a little effort. I don't deserve the gratitude of the elders of the clan." Li Anran cupped his hand again and said with a smile.

"I don't know if I have some free time right now, but I have something I would like to ask you for advice." Zhao Qingshan, who took advantage of the conversation to take a good look, said with a smile.

"It's my wish, but I don't dare to ask my ears."

Li Anran, who was not surprised by the other party's request, found it really tiring to talk to ancient people, especially to the ancient people who seemed to have some knowledge.

After Zhao Qingshan and Li Anran walked into the main room of Zhao Er's family one after another, two bowls of tea flavored with onion, ginger and other spices were brought over soon after.

"Tea please."

"please."

Knowing that there was no tea in Zhao Er's house, this tea was probably brought by Li Anran, the elder of the family, so he picked up the tea bowl and gestured to it, then took a sip.

Even though the flavor of this bowl of tea was still ruined by those spices, after tasting it carefully, Li Anran could still find that this tea was much better than the tea from Zhao Er's family.

Li Anran, who was really not used to drinking this kind of tea, knew that the person in front of him came to his door not to meet friends with tea. After a brief taste, he put down the tea bowl.

Zhao Qingshan did not forget to observe someone while drinking tea. When he noticed the other person's brows frowning slightly while drinking tea, a strange look flashed in his eyes.

"What advice do you have when the clan elder comes here this time?" Li Anran, who felt the other party's scrutinizing gaze, said with a smile on the surface, pretending not to know.

"I don't dare to give you advice. I just want to ask, where did the Taoist priest come from and where are you going?" Zhao Qingshan asked with a smile on his face.

Li Anran, who really wanted to tell the other party where he came from and where he was going, naturally couldn't really say that. Instead, he said: "I am a Qi Refiner from Xuande Cave in Taibai Mountain."

"The common name is Li, the given name is Anran, the courtesy name is Tongxuan, and the name is Chunyang Zhenren. When he was passing through Chang'an, he was struck by the dragon's energy and fell into the mountains and was rescued by Zhao Er. He had nowhere to go for the time being."

This introduction was not some nonsense that Li Anran came up with on the spur of the moment, but an identity that he specially made up based on some Taoist knowledge after thinking about it last night.

Xuande Cave in Taibai Mountain is the eleventh immortal cave among the thirty-six small Taoist caves. It is located between Mei County, Taibai and other counties in Shaanxi in later generations.

The name Tongxuan was specifically chosen by Li Guizhen in a message before his death. As for Chunyang Zhenren, it was a Taoist name that would be used by every generation of Li Guizhen's lineage.

In fact, when choosing a cave, Li Anran originally wanted to choose the Xiyue Huashan Grand Immortal Cave, which ranks fourth among the thirty-six small Taoist caves, also known as the Jizhen Cave.

But then I thought about it, Huashan, as the Western Mountain, has been very famous since ancient times. It is also a Taoist resort. As a guy of unknown origin, it is better to avoid it.

As for the question that Taibai Mountain is located to the west of Chang'an, but Lantian County is southeast of Chang'an, if someone really asked it, Li Anran had already thought of the answer in advance.

I don’t dare to use the signboard of Xiyue Huashan Zongxian Cave Heaven, but that doesn’t mean that I can’t use it in another way. For example, the purpose of this trip out of the mountain is to rush to Xiyue Huashan Zongxian Cave Heaven.

As for being rushed by Chang'an's dragon energy on the way, he secretly praised Li Shimin, who had just ascended the throne, meaning that he was indeed the real Dragon Emperor, so he had some power.

Faced with such an answer, although Zhao Qingshan, the elder of the Zhaojia Village clan, did not understand what a Qi Refiner was or what Xuande Cave was, he had heard of it in Taibai Mountain.

At this time, Li Anran was wearing a Taoist robe that was specially designed by netizens and then ordered in a clothing shop. He was holding a fly whisk in his hand and a brocade bag with a sword on his back.

Judging from the appearance alone, the whole person does have a fairy-like temperament. This is also the reason why he has done three legal services in just half a month.

After deciding to inherit his grandfather's last wish, Li Anran thought about how to avoid the weaknesses of his youth and increase his advantages in competition with his peers.

Having worked with Li Guizhen for so many years, he has the "internal skills" to do things, that is, various rituals, spells, processes, etc., and Li Anran can easily become familiar with them again.

After much deliberation, I finally decided to put some effort into "external skills", so I came up with this unique Taoist priest professional equipment that borrowed from the style of online games.

Not only the clothes, but also the treasure bag, shoes, Taoist crowns, some accessories and small tools such as Bagua and compasses were all put together with great effort.

Especially for the sword I just used, I spent a lot of money to find a well-known and powerful merchant in Longquan through the Internet and get it customized as a high-end product.

This kind of equipment is enough to make Li Anran look completely different from ordinary Taoist priests. As for the problem of tender face, it can be completely attributed to Zhuyan Youshu.

What's more, Li Anran was already twenty-five years old before time travel. In ancient times, when people could get married and have children at the age of twelve or thirteen, they could definitely be considered adults.

Faced with such an answer, Zhao Qingshan, the elder of the Zhaojia Village clan, although he did not understand that Qi Refiners were magicians, was still swayed by the series of names.

In addition, I learned from Zhao Er that the object that was placed in the courtyard and made a strange sound (alarm) when touched lightly was someone's mount.

Moreover, this strange-shaped mount made of steel as the main material can move freely without the need for manpower or animals, and it can also make loud noises.

In addition to learning this from Zhao Er just now, Zhao Qingshan had already heard about it from the little guys who were hunting pig grass as early as the first day.

Feeling the strange look in the other person's eyes, Li Anran knew that the other person was here to find out more about himself without having to guess. He reached out and took out something from the treasure bag he carried with him.

The beautiful treasure bag was originally specially made to match the robe and perform rituals, but now it is used to store some important items.

"Real person, what is this?" Zhao Qingshan, who was shocked and still somewhat suspicious of someone's identity, couldn't help but ask as he looked at the square silver-white object.

"Oh, this is a portable magic weapon, called a mobile phone." After speaking, Li Anran did not explain much, but clicked on the music player to find the "Taoist Music" folder.

Soon the music of mountains and rivers flowed out from the large loudspeaker with high power. Although it may be a copycat machine, the quality is good after being shuffled by the market.

In terms of sound quality, even if it is not as good as those high-end products, it is still good. At the very least, it is more than enough to deceive the Tu people of the Tang Dynasty like Zhao Qingshan.

As for why he chose "High Mountains and Flowing Waters" instead of modern music, it is because Li Anran knew very well that the ancients' preferences for music were completely different from those of modern people.

The kind of thing that takes modern songs and performs them in ancient times, and then gets countless praises and sensations, will only appear in those online novels without common sense.

Just when the guzheng music of high mountains and flowing water sounded, Li Anran clearly saw someone sitting on the top tremble, and the shocked look in his eyes was clearly revealed.

I immediately knew that my arrangement had worked. Even if the identity I created in advance was very gimmick, it was far less effective than the current dry goods.

After playing the song "High Mountains and Flowing Waters", Li Anran, who was worried about the battery, quickly and quietly turned off the music player, and then threw the mobile phone into the treasure bag.

Even though it was just a guzheng piece, Zhao Qingshan was so shocked that he didn't even listen to it, but it was enough to make him look at Li Anran with a look of awe.

In ancient times, even a bell ringing without wind would be regarded as a miracle. Not to mention that Zhao Qingshan was just a clan elder in the village, even if he found Li Shimin who had just ascended the throne, he would still have to kneel down.

"Elder of the clan, to be honest, I want to disturb Zhaojia Village for a while. Is that okay?" Li Anran said seriously after putting away the "magic weapon".

"Ahem... As long as the real person doesn't mind the poverty in this village, it doesn't matter if he lives there." Zhao Qingshan, who came back to his senses, coughed twice to hide the strangeness in his heart and said with a forced smile.

"So, thank you clan elder." Seeing that the first step of his plan was finally completed, Li Anran stood up calmly, bowed his hands, and said seriously.

At this moment, Er Gouzi's panicked voice suddenly sounded outside the house. After Li Anran listened carefully, he realized that someone in the village had been injured by a wild boar.

Wild boars are beast-level animals not only in ancient times, but also in modern times. In the circle of hunters, there is a saying that there is only one pig in a group.

When wolves form a pack, they become a group of outlaws. There is a saying that "a tiger cannot stand up to a pack of wolves." But a wolf becomes a coward and quickly takes a detour to avoid danger.

As for wild boars, it's just the opposite. When they are in a group, they are like a loose mass of sand. If they are frightened, they will just rush to run away. A pig will become a desperado and will definitely fight for you when it encounters a threat.
