Chapter 1 New arrivals
The summer weather is sometimes like a baby face, and it changes as soon as you say it.
When Li Anran first set out on the road, the night was still good. Putting aside the noise from the side tricycle riding beneath him, there was a lot of artistic conception in the breeze and the bright moon.
But unexpectedly, after just five or six minutes of travel, the sky became completely gloomy. After a few lightning and thunder, heavy rain immediately poured down.
"Damn it! It's really badly raining."
Seeing that the rain was raining heavily and heavier, Li Anran, who had originally planned to travel for life, had to start looking for a place where he could shelter from the rain.
The heavy rain like a water curtain made the vision very blurred. Seeing that Li Anran could not put himself in the village or the shop behind him, he could only stuff himself into the standby.
Fortunately, after finishing the ritual, in order to prevent the tools from being blown away, I deliberately lowered the soft top telescopic hood of the standby and locked it to prevent the things inside from being wet by the rain.
The only thing that I was so upset was that the fashionable Taoist robe I specially designed and customized was designed by someone. I was completely wet by the heavy rain after just once.
"Forget it, if it's wet, just get wet. I'll endure it first. Fortunately, I'm using three wheels, and I'll change it to two wheels. Now I just want to hide from the rain and have no place to hide."
Li Anran, who had entered the seat bucket as fast as possible, pulled the soft-top telescopic convertible hood, pulled it and it was wet and wet. He felt very uncomfortable when he heard the sound of rain outside the soft-top telescopic convertible hood. He could only accept his fate.
Seeing that the rain outside could not stop for a while, Li Anran, who was hiding in the stand-alone, was idle, and took out a flat wine pot and started playing with her cell phone while drinking.
Li Anran, who originally didn't like games, just played for a while and lost interest. He accidentally opened the album and saw a familiar figure.
"Grandpa, are you doing well now?" Li Anran, who was stunned to look at the photo, was filled with sadness in his heart, but his mind was unconsciously extended to another place.
It is said that it was a cold winter. Li Anran was still a newborn baby, but for unknown reasons, he was abandoned by his cruel parents in the grass on the roadside and almost frozen to death.
It is said that his fate should not be lost. The Taoist priest Li Gui of Youfang really passed by here. He was attracted by the crying in the grass. After discovering that he was an abandoned baby, he adopted him.
With this little "drag", Li Guizhen, who had no worries and planned to continue wandering around, simply settled in a small village below the county town in the south of Nanjing.
Relying on good medical skills and good winemaking skills, although the two of them are not rich in their lives, 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. He would go home and reunited with Li Guizhen as long as he had a rest.
Several times he wanted to take his grandfather to live in the city, but Li Guizhen just disagreed. Just when Li Anran was planning to make a comedy, bad news suddenly came.
Li Guizhen, who was originally quite strong, actually left without any signs. After hearing the news, Li Anran rushed home as quickly as possible, but she didn't even meet her for the last time.
The only thing that is thankful is that Li Guizhen left peacefully and left a will with a very detailed and legal content before his death.
But Li Anran was so depressed that there was nothing in the will about houses, inheritances, etc., but it was strange that a request was made in another hidden message.
After reading this message, Li Anran not only learned about his true life experience, but also found that his grandfather was not as simple as Taoist priest You Fang.
In Li Anran's eyes, Taoist priests of You Fang should be the unified generation of those sorcerers, doctors, and various strange and traditional professions.
I never thought that my grandfather was actually an authentic Taoist member. According to the comments, it was the 17th generation successor of Chunyang Palace.
I never thought that I would become a member of Taoism. Li Anran, who took over the lineage of the Pure Yang Palace, could not be calm for a long time when facing this message.
As for his identity as an abandoned child, Li Guizhen doesn't need to explain it. Over the years, Li Anran has noticed some clues.
But unlike those orphans who had to look for their own parents after learning about their life experience, Li Anran, who became an adult, had never thought about doing this at all.
Even in Li Guizhen's last words, he clearly kept Li Anran's personal belongings at that time, place, and even Li Anran's personal belongings at that time.
But after reading the content about his life experience, Anran Li was only sad for a while and decided to pack these things and bury them with her grandfather.
In Li Anran's heart, since his grandfather saved him and raised him to become a talent with great difficulty, the two of them were their own grandfather and grandson.
Not to mention the vast crowd, the clues left behind were unable to find their biological parents. Even if they could find them, Li Anran, who was an adult, never thought of looking for them.
What really makes Li Anran difficult is that the mantle of Chunyang Palace. I found out that I found information about Chunyang Palace, and it was the place where Lu Zu and Lu Dongbin was worshipped.
I really can't figure out that I have a half-dollar relationship with Li Guizhen, a Taoist priest of Youfang, but seeing that this matter was the other party's last wish, Li Anran naturally had to fulfill it.
After finishing his grandfather's funeral, Li Anran quit his job that was indeed quite good and returned home to take over Li Guizhen's original job.
Recalling these, Li Anran, while listening to the sound of rain from the soft-top telescopic convertible, she hugged the flat wine pot with her hand and drank it without a single sip.
When thinking of the old saying "I want to support my son but my parents are not waiting for me", Li Anran, who was immersed in memories and sorrow, had already shed two lines of tears without realizing it.
After Li Anran finished drinking the homemade wine in the flat wine pot, she realized that the sound of rain outside had become much smaller as she recalled and sighed.
He opened a corner of the open hood and looked at it. Li Anran found that the rain outside was indeed lighter, so he didn't care about the drizzle and just came out.
Anyway, the Taoist robe on her body was soaked, so what was this little rain? It would be more meaningful to go home early and take a hot bath than to continue waiting.
But just as Li Anran rode his beloved car and was about to start, a thunder suddenly sounded in the gloomy night sky, and then a lightning bolt connected to the sky.
Just as he was shocked by the shocking thunder sound just now, Li Anran was subconsciously patting his chest, and then his eyes turned dark and he knew nothing.
...
"Master, Taoist priest, wake up, wake up..."
The male uncle called out, who was worried and anxious, and Li Anran tried hard to open his eyes, endured the numbness and stinging pain that penetrated his bone marrow, and looked at the people around him.
As a result, the dazzling sunshine came into view, and I couldn't see who was around me at all. I could only vaguely see that the other party should be a man.
"I woke up, woke up! I finally woke up, great!"
Seeing Li Anran's actions, Zhao Er's face suddenly burst into laughter.
Unfortunately, this person was squatting there with his back to the sun. Li Anran couldn't see clearly at all, so he could only be sure that the person beside him was probably his savior.
Just as he felt the soreness and swelling on his body subsided, he had not had time to speak, Li Anran felt his stomach twitch and subconsciously spit out a word: "Hungry!"
"Hey, Taoist priest, I'll get you some food now."
After hearing this sound, Zhao Er quickly ran aside, broke the millet buns he carried when he entered the mountain into small pieces, and placed them in a bowl and soaked them in the water from the gourd.
"Master, you're here to eat. Be careful and eat slowly." After the millet buns were soaked softly, Zhao Er carefully helped the buns up and brought them to the other party's mouth.
There is no oil or salt. Although the millet bun has a natural grain fragrance, its taste is far worse than that of white flour. If it were usual, Li Anran would definitely not treat herself so badly.
But now I don’t care about this much. After feeling the aroma of the food, I immediately swallowed it in big mouthfuls. The eating habits will definitely make African refugees feel at a disadvantage.
"Eat slowly, eat slowly, be careful to choke."
The honest Zhao Er was very curious about how this Taoist priest who was dressed in luxurious clothes was so hungry, but he didn't ask, but just persuaded him carefully.
After Li Anran swallowed the bowl of soaked rice bun in two mouthfuls, he found that the hunger in his belly not only did not fade, but became even more powerful.
"I'm still hungry!"
"Hey, Taoist priest, I'll get you another bowl."
After taking the cleaned pottery bowl, Zhao Er broke his last millet into pieces and soaked it in water.
After two bowls of soaked rice buns in succession, although they did not relieve much of the hunger in Li Anran's belly, they finally recovered a little.
"Where am I?"
Li Anran sat up with the numbness and sting that was no longer very severe, and subconsciously looked around, but found that he was in a completely unfamiliar environment.
"Master, this is in the Qinling Mountains, not far from our Zhaojia Village."
Seeing that the person could sit up and his complexion was better than before, Zhao Er finally breathed a sigh of relief, but he became even more curious.
"Qinling? Zhaojia Village? No! Then who are you?"
Li Anran was originally wondering whether he was on the way back to the village before he fell into a coma, but naturally he ran to the mountain after waking up, and it was obviously a big mountain.
But there are no mountains near Lijiabian (village) where my family is located. Even within a 10-mile village, there are only a few small hills with very low altitudes.
When I saw clearly that the person who had just fed me was actually a dark man dressed in retro dress and his clothes were covered with patches, my heart skipped a beat.
"My name is Zhao Er, the hunter in the village, Taoist priest, are you okay?"
It was obvious that the person in front of him had a little bit of emotion, and Zhao Er couldn't help but worry.
"Zhao Er? Hunter?"
"Yes, my brother and I are hunters in the village."
Seeing that the other party was obviously not lying to him, and there were no cameras around him. The most important thing was that Zhao Er's accent was very wrong.
It is obviously not a lip service near Lishui County, nor is it in Nanjing dialect. On the contrary, it looks like a friend from four years old in college, with a Guanzhong accent from Qian Fatty, who comes from Xi'an.
As a post-80s generation who has been in college for four years, I naturally read many fast food books such as online novels, and Li Anran's sense of uneasiness became stronger and stronger.
"Zhao Er is right?"
"Yes, Taoist priest, it's me."
"Do you know what year it is now?"
"I heard from the patriarch that it is now the first year of Zhenguan."
"Zhen...Zhenguan Yuan...Year 1?"
