Chapter 211 Monthly Meeting of the Protectors
When the sky was getting dark, Zhang Yuan returned to the Xu City.
He spent most of the day snorkeling in the Changtian River, and once went deep into the canyon upstream.
Because the water there was too strong and there were too many reefs, which greatly increased the consumption of energy and blood, I did not continue moving forward.
After this test, Zhang Yuan not only discovered more and stronger abilities of the Dragon Carp Armor, but the connection between him and this mysterious weapon also became closer and more stable.
It can be said to have benefited a lot!
With the Dragon Carp Armor, Zhang Yuan's fighting ability in the water has improved dramatically.
Not to mention the masters of the same level, even if he encounters the powerful ones of the fifth or even sixth level, he dares not show any signs of it.
Of course, this is just his self-confidence. When encountering high-level warriors, it depends on the specific situation.
After all, there are too many mysteries in this world, and others may also possess mysterious weapons.
So it is still necessary to continue to develop in a low-key manner!
Zhang Yuan just stepped into the house and suddenly felt something was wrong.
He looked up and saw a yellow talisman fluttering in the wind on the flagpole of the rooftop.
Zhang Yuan's heart moved and he immediately jumped onto the roof and reached out to take down the yellow talisman.
I saw a line of words written on the talisman paper.
There is no doubt that this is a letter from the Heavenly King's Palace!
Zhang Yuan has been the guardian of the Heavenly King's Palace for a short time, but this is the first time he has received a letter.
He glanced at it, then popped it out with his fingers.
The yellow talisman flew into the air and ignited spontaneously, turning into ashes in the blink of an eye.
Zhang Yuan went to his room to change his clothes and hung the bronze medal on his waist.
Then he left home and went to the street outside, stopping a passing carriage.
He told the driver: "Go to Chunfeng Pavilion."
The letter Zhang Yuan just received was from the outer hall of the Tianwang Palace, informing him to go to Chunfeng Pavilion to attend the outer hall. Monthly meeting of the Guardians.
Like the Zongmen gang, the Tianwang Hall also has a hall-like setting.
It is divided into inner hall, outer hall, book collection hall, Dharma transmission hall and Jiujie hall.
Zhang Yuan, the outer protector, is under the jurisdiction of the outer hall. The latter is mainly responsible for general affairs in the Tianwang Palace, similar to the outer hall of a gang.
When he arrived at the private room on the second floor of Chunfeng Pavilion, there were already more than a dozen people sitting inside.
Zhang Yuan knew only one steward of the outer palace.
But the other dozen or so people, each with his or her own demeanor, were all fourth-level warriors!
Zhang Yuan knew in his heart that these people were the guardians of the outer palace just like himself.
And when he stepped into the private room, Taoist Xuanyong, the steward of the outer hall, stood up and said with a smile: "Come on, let me introduce to you, this is the new protector of our hall, Zhao Yun!"
"Zhao Yun I met the Taoist priest."
Zhang Yuan calmly clasped his fists together and bowed his head: "I have met all of you, seniors and fellow Taoists!"
The dozen or so fourth-level warriors present, many of them gray-haired, shouted " "Senior" is just right.
The protector of the same palace is considered half a member of the Taoist lineage.
It is also appropriate to call us "fellow Taoist"!
And everyone’s reactions were mixed.
Some stood up with a smile and returned the greeting, some sat firmly and nodded slightly, some turned a deaf ear, and some had a playful expression on their faces.
Taoist Xuanyong had a smooth temperament and immediately introduced Zhang Yuan one by one with a smile: "This is Protector Dong Peng Dong, this is Protector Chen Zian, and this is Protector Su Liyunsu..."
Except for Zhang Yuan, there were a total of eleven warriors who came to participate in this monthly meeting of the guardians of the outer hall.
Eight men and three women.
One of the female guardians named Xun Lingling seemed to be quite interested in Zhang Yuan.
After Taoist Xuanyong introduced her, she smiled sweetly and said: "Fellow Taoist Zhao Yun, I just received a mission to slay the weird. I wonder if you are interested in participating together?"
This woman has a gorgeous appearance, and her eyes flicker as she talks and laughs. She has a charming air.
As soon as she finished speaking, several eyes immediately fell on Zhang Yuan.
Quite unkind!
Zhang Yuan sat down calmly and said with a smile: "Thank you, fellow Taoist Xun, for your kindness. I'm just used to living alone, so I can only accept your kindness."
This Xun Lingling is a troublesome person at first glance.
Don’t say that Zhang Yuan doesn’t like to form a team with others. Even if he wants to form a team, he will not join the other party’s team. Xun Lingling's smile froze instantly.
She was very confident in her charm. She thought that Zhang Yuan might refuse, but she didn't expect that the latter would refuse so happily and resolutely.
A sudden sense of frustration.
But Xun Lingling was not an ordinary person after all, and she immediately sighed: "That's such a pity."
There was a bit of resentment in her tone, as if Zhang Yuan was pulling the strings. A ruthless scumbag is full of the meaning of "even if you are ruthlessly abandoned, you can't be ashamed".
Gan!
Zhang Yuan noticed that there were more eyes staring at him.
I have the desire to kill someone.
He and Xun Lingling were strangers to each other. This was the first time they met today. It can be said that they had no grievances or any entanglements.
I don’t know what the other party’s thoughts are, actually playing such a bloody trick with me!
There were obviously several admirers of Xun Lingling among the guardians present in the outer hall.
Suddenly Zhang Yuan was placed on their opposite side!
Boring or not?
Zhang Yuan was annoyed, but on the surface it seemed as if nothing had happened and he picked up his glass and drank by himself.
This diverted the attention of others from him.
After a while, three more guardians from the outer hall came.
He is also a fourth-level warrior.
More than a dozen people were sitting around the banquet, some were whispering to each other, and some were chatting and laughing, toasting and drinking.
The beautiful maids brought fine wines from time to time, and there were singers and musicians playing music nearby. The atmosphere was quite lively.
Zhang Yuan doesn’t know the other protectors, so naturally they have nothing in common.
Coupled with Xun Lingling's troubles, he was isolated.
However, Zhang Yuan was too happy to say anything, and he didn't want to put his hot face on someone else's cold ass.
After drinking for three rounds, Taoist Xuanyong asked the maid and singer to leave, letting tonight's monthly meeting get down to business.
The outer palace steward reported in advance the affairs of the palace in the past month, which mainly involved several strange incidents.
Some have been resolved, and some are pending.
In addition, he commended a protector on behalf of the outer palace.
At the end of the conversation, Taoist Xuanyong came up with three decrees.
These three decrees represent three strange tasks, and it is up to the guardians present to decide whether to accept them or not.
Although there are many monks and few porridge.
But everyone did not fight for it.
After understanding the details of the three tasks, they communicated with each other and negotiated before making a decision.
Zhang Yuan was alone and participated in the monthly meeting for the first time.
There are many things we don’t understand yet.
So he regarded himself as a bystander and had no idea about these tasks.
Not long after, the three tasks were divided up.
The atmosphere is quite harmonious.
Taoist Xuanyong immediately announced the end of the monthly meeting, and all the guardians stood up to say goodbye and left.
Just when Zhang Yuan was about to leave, the steward of the outer palace suddenly said: "Guardian Zhao, please stay!"
Zhang Yuan was slightly startled.
But he nodded and stayed.
