Time and space of the Tang Dynasty, the second year of Zhenguan, Xia...

Two three-horsepower cabinet air conditioners stand at opposite corners of the outer hall, and container-type diesel generator sets continuously supply sufficient power, allowing the large outer hall to be in a comfortable and cool environment at all times.

Yuan Tiangang got up early. After having a sumptuous and delicious breakfast served by his servants, he first walked around the villa with a beautiful scenery. When he saw the flying magic weapon that no one else could imitate falling from the sky, he

He quickly came to the outer hall.

Although after asking his servants to convey the news, he was still not sure when he would be received, but for Yuan Tiangang, this kind of waiting is not a big deal. As a backbone member of Taoism, this kind of mental cultivation is still necessary.

land.

"Is he really a true immortal from the upper world?" Yuan Tiangang, who stood in front of one of the cabinet air conditioners that was constantly spewing out cool air, studied it for a while, but still couldn't tell from the magic weapon in front of him.

What valuable information.

Regarding Li Anran's identity, Yuan Tiangang's attitude is actually very contradictory. To say that the identity of the other party's true immortal in the upper realm is just bragging and fabrication, then let alone the magic cry that can control the temperature in front of him, the flying magic weapon alone is

How to explain?

But if the other party is a true immortal from the upper realm, why are his words and deeds so different from those recorded in Taoism? Especially from some collected information, in many aspects he is no different from an ordinary person.

the difference.

Just as Yuan Tiangang continued to study the magic weapon that could change the temperature of the inner hall by breathing cold air a little absent-mindedly, there was a sound of neither light nor heavy footsteps soon coming from the passage connecting the outer hall to the inner courtyard.

"Fellow Daoist Yuan, you're polite." After asking about Yuan Tiangang's situation in the study room of the inner courtyard, Li Anran, who specially changed into Taoist clothes, walked forward and performed a Taoist head-offering ceremony, and said with a smile.

"I have met the Protector of the Country." Although he could not confirm the identity of the other party, whether it was because of those magical magical weapons or the title of the Protector of the Country, Yuan Tiangang still did not dare to be rude and hurriedly stepped forward and returned the greeting.

After the ceremony was completed, Yuan Tiangang looked intently and couldn't help but secretly shouted in his heart: "What a fairy atmosphere."

There was no way. In order to leave a deep enough impression on this true Taoist priest, Li Anran specially put on the Taoist clothes that he rarely wore after custom-making them in modern time and space, and gave them to everyone.

It was tormenting me.

Fortunately, the air conditioner is on in the outer hall. Otherwise, wearing this whole outfit, even if the materials used are far from the inferior goods used for personal activities, it will still make people miserable because of the temperature.

"Fellow Daoist Yuan, please take a seat." Li Anran pointed to Li Anran, who had already changed from the table and cushions of the Tang Dynasty to chairs imitating the Chinese living room style of the Qing Dynasty. He was very satisfied with the look of shock in the other person's eyes. He said with a smile.

After the two of them sat down, a servant brought tea, fruits and snacks.

"Fellow Daoist Yuan, please don't blame me for being negligent because I was not in the villa yesterday." Li Anran picked up the celadon tea cup from the table next to him and said with a smile: "Please."

"Don't dare, don't dare." Yuan Tiangang, who was just surprised for a moment and then quickly regained his composure, said while holding up the tea cup.

After the two exchanged simple greetings, they knew that the other party must be Li Anran, who never went to the Three Treasures Hall for anything. He didn't want to waste too much time on the other party, so he didn't talk about anything irrelevant and started asking directly.

.

"I wonder why Fellow Daoist Yuan came here this time?"

Faced with such a question, Yuan Tiangang came here with a purpose, but he didn't know how to speak for a moment. After pondering for a moment, he said: "I don't know what the real person has to do with the lineage of alchemy."

view?"

"Alchemy lineage??" Li Anran, who had never expected that the other party would use this question as a preface, was stunned for a moment, shook his head and said: "I am not of the alchemy lineage in the upper realm, so it is really inconvenient to express any opinions on this.

.”

"Then for some reason, the real person not only asked Du Fu to stop taking the elixir, but even suggested that the saint also stop taking the elixir?" Yuan Tiangang put down the tea cup and stared at the colleague in front of him who was also from the Taoist lineage, with a serious expression.

asked.

"Huh?" Li Anran, who was still guessing why Yuan Tianshi, who was very famous in later generations, would ask this question, was still unclear after hearing this. The other party came to the door this time, most likely for the purpose of questioning.

.

"Fellow Daoist Yuan, although I am not of the alchemy cultivating lineage, I also know that most of the external elixirs produced by the alchemy lineage in today's Taoist sects cannot even be called medicines, let alone elixirs. In my opinion, eating those pills

, not only does it not cure diseases and strengthen the body, but it is also harmful!”

"Under such circumstances, how can I dare to let the Holy One and Du Fu and his like continue to take it?" After understanding the other party's purpose, he recalled that Li Shimin died because of taking the so-called elixir in history.

, asked rhetorically.

"Since the real person is not of the alchemy cultivator lineage, how can we be sure that those pills are harmful? Is it possible that the inheritance of the alchemy lineage in this world is all fake?" Although he knew that there must be a reason why the other party dared to say this, Yuan Tiangang

Still asked.

In fact, as a member of Taoism, Yuan Tiangang does not follow the line of alchemy, but focuses on the three fields of astronomy, astrology, and prediction. However, as a backbone member of Taoism, after getting to know many Taoist friends, he has a deep understanding of Taoism.

I also have some understanding of alchemy.

Especially his disciple Li Chunfeng, who is good at refining elixirs in his spare time. Although he does not regard this as his official career, it is not only the common people who are proud of being able to obtain elixirs, but even the elixirs taken by today's saints.

He has his share.

As his master, and the safety of the dragon body is also involved, Yuan Tiangang cannot be said to be aloof if he hangs out in the palace. Even if he is truly aloof, he would not dare to do anything wrong in such a situation.

Leave the issue alone.

"Fellow Daoist Yuan, I never said that alchemy cultivation is fake, but alchemy cultivation is not the Tao of alchemy. As far as I know, the real alchemy cultivation is the inner alchemy lineage, and is this the outer alchemy lineage? The reason why it is practiced

The fake elixir comes out because the inheritance has been cut off long ago."

At this point, Li Anran did not give the other party a chance to speak, and continued: "Don't be anxious, fellow Taoist, there is a reason for what I say. According to our upper world, practice is the only criterion for testing truth.

"

"If fellow Taoists don't believe it, it's very simple. We can present the facts and reason. When the facts are put in front of everyone's eyes, who is true and who is false, who is right and who is wrong, won't it be clear at a glance?"

"Practice is the only criterion for testing truth?" Yuan Tiangang, who heard this sentence for the first time, just thought for a moment and roughly guessed the meaning of the saying, and then said: "I don't know how the real person plans to present the facts and make sense.

?”

"It's very simple. I said those elixirs can easily kill people, but fellow Taoist think I was wrong. So let's take some elixirs out and eat them. Then won't it be clear to you?" He picked up the teacup and slowly

Li Anran, who was tasting it, said calmly.

"This..." Considering all the miraculous things that the man in front of him has shown in the past year, and his current attitude is so determined, Yuan Tiangang really didn't know whether he should do this or not.

.

Not long after the entire hall fell into an eerie silence due to the silence between the two, I suddenly heard the panicked and excited voice of Wang Youde, the great butler, ringing from outside: "Master, the saint is here!"

"I'm going!!" Li Anran, who was still thinking about sending Yuan Tiangang away early, saw that these evil guests either didn't come at all, or came in groups, and he vomited in his heart.

He said something bad, "Your majesty, if you don't handle official business in the court, why don't you come to me all the time?" After that, he put down the tea cup and said: "Open the middle door wide and follow me to greet the Holy Emperor."

As a result, these words were just spoken. Before Li Anran could walk out of the hall, he heard a familiar voice coming from outside the circular arch: "I'm welcome, I've already come in." (Unfinished)
