Chapter 306 Wisdom
The path was winding and bumpy, and the sound of bells could be heard faintly in the wind, drifting in and out.
But it was transmitted to Zhang Yuan's ears extremely clearly.
His intuition told him that someone was coming again!
Just when Zhang Yuan was about to control the red-eyed crow to check the situation, a gray-robed Taoist riding a donkey suddenly appeared in his sight.
I saw a big green-haired donkey walking along the path, shaking its head, and the bells hanging under its neck jingled.
The Taoist sitting on the back of the donkey has gray hair and the vicissitudes of time are written on his wrinkled face.
The old Taoist half-closed his eyes and his body swayed from side to side with the donkey.
It looked like it would fall off at any moment.
The pupils of Zhang Yuan's eyes suddenly shrank!
Because in his perception, the old Taoist who came on a donkey seemed to be integrated with the surrounding world. Although he looked very real, he could not lock it.
It seems real and illusory, it is impossible to grasp!
Since Zhang Yuan awakened the memory of his past life, he has seen many masters and strong men.
But no one has ever given him such a strange feeling.
Zhang Yuan suspected that even if he picked up the iron bow, he would not be able to shoot it even from a distance of one or two hundred steps.
His intuition told him that the person's cultivation level was beyond imagination!
Mage?
Archmage! ?
The next moment, a person's name instantly appeared in Zhang Yuan's mind.
Wisdom!
The Lord of the Xia Xu Heavenly King Palace, the only great mage, Chief Huizhi!
At this moment, Zhang Yuan had the idea of running away immediately.
If the wise master had any ill intentions towards Zhang Yuan, then the Changtian River not far away would be his only escape option.
And the time left for him was extremely short.
Zhang Yuan couldn't help but take a deep breath, suppressing the surprise, fear and worry that had just emerged in his heart.
When faced with force, one becomes timid and fleeing without fighting may be a rational choice.
But if he runs away now, it would be equivalent to admitting his cowardice and incompetence.
Don’t even think about establishing a true martial arts will in this life!
You must know that the visitor did not show any hostility. As a result, Zhang Yuan's own confidence collapsed first.
What about martial arts spirit?
His eyes became firm again, and he watched quietly as the big green donkey carrying the veteran walked in front of him.
Zhang Yuan cupped his fists and saluted: "I dare to ask, senior, but in front of the first great mage?"
The gray-robed old Taoist smiled slightly, floated down from the donkey's back, bowed his head and said in return: "I am a poor Taoist, but I have the temerity to disturb you today, please forgive me."
The attitude was actually very polite.
Zhang Yuan was surprised, but at the same time he breathed a sigh of relief, and said quickly: "Juniors don't dare, seniors please come in."
He opened the door of his courtyard and made an invitation gesture to Huizhi.
Zhang Yuan can be sure that the chief mage really has no ill intentions towards him.
Otherwise, with the opponent's cultivation strength, there is no need to show off at all, just take it directly.
The wise old Taoist led the big green donkey and followed Zhang Yuan into the small courtyard with a smile.
The chief of the Heavenly King's Hall looked around and said with a smile: "It's a quiet place. My friend, I have good taste."
"The humble house is so simple that it makes my seniors laugh."
Zhang Yuan spoke modestly, moved tables, chairs and tea sets from the room, and invited this true master to sit down.
Huizhi sat down without noticing anything, and took out a small purple sand jar from the sleeve of his robe, and said: "This is the newly picked wild mountain tea this year. It tastes pretty good. Could you please bring some mountain spring to brew some for a try?" .”
Zhang Yuan naturally follows the good deeds.
His residence is close to Taiwu Mountain, and there are many springs nearby, making it very convenient to get water.
In addition, tea stoves and tea sets are also available.
After a while, the charcoal fire in the tea stove boiled the mountain spring water in the teapot, and bubbles appeared.
Although Zhang Yuan doesn't know much about tea ceremony.
But you still know the basic brewing methods. He used the wild mountain tea brought by Huizhi to make a cup for the other party and himself.
"Senior, please."
Zhang Yuan picked up the teacup and greeted Huizhi.
Until now, he was still at a loss as to the purpose of this great mage's visit.
There is no need to elaborate on Huizhi's identity. Zhang Yuan had never seen this chief before when he took on the role of protector of the Heavenly King's Hall.
All I know is that the great mage is sitting in the palace and is in charge of the center and rarely goes out.
The specific affairs of the Heavenly King's Hall are completed by the masters of the branch halls and the deacons below.
Zhang Yuan didn't expect that the other party would take the initiative to visit!
He couldn't help but think of the last time Xuancheng came to him and wanted him to serve as the protector of the Heavenly King's Palace.
Zhang Yuan refused at that time.
With Huizhi’s identity, it’s impossible to come here to challenge him, right?
Check out the 16-9 book bar and see the correct version!
Thinking in his mind, Zhang Yuan drank the hot tea in the cup.
As soon as the tea entered his stomach, a stream of heat instantly spread through his body, making him feel refreshed and refreshed. It was as if his body and soul had been purified at the same time, and his whole body felt warm and comfortable.
Zhang Yuan came back to his senses and couldn't help being secretly surprised.
This wild camellia looks ordinary and smells nothing special.
Only when you drink it can you taste the real taste, it is definitely not an ordinary product!
He couldn't help but praise: "Good tea!"
Huizhi smiled and pointed to the purple clay tea can placed beside the tea stove: "This can is for you."
"Thank you, senior, for your love."
Zhang Yuan put down his empty cup and couldn't help but ask: "Senior, please deign to come here. Do you have anything that I need to help you with?"
Huizhi touched the white beard under his chin and said with a smile: "The first thing I want to do when I come here this time is to meet you and thank you for the good deeds you have done for the Temple of the Heavenly King."
Zhang Yuan suddenly realized that what Huizhi was talking about was obviously about giving out porridge to the local people.
He shook his head: "The juniors just feel the love of the King of Heaven and do their best. They cannot live up to the words of the seniors."
Huizhi smiled and said nothing.
After a while, the chief of the Heavenly King Palace continued: "Secondly, Pindao would like to ask you to take on the role of the guardian general."
"Huh?"
Zhang Yuan was stunned: "Senior, junior..."
"Listen to me first."
Huizhi waved her hand and continued: "Pindao knows your concerns and will not make it difficult for you."
The archmage told Zhang Yuan that the protectors of the Heavenly King's Palace would actually be divided into real duties and virtual titles, one left, one right, one bright and one dark. The former needs no further explanation and must be completely integrated into the temple's system.
The nature of the latter is similar to that of the guardian of the outer palace. There is no need to set up a soul lamp in the palace, and he can come and go freely without being restricted by the palace laws.
Despite this, the fictitious title of Protector General still has a distinguished status, equivalent to the master of the branch hall and the elders in the hall.
It’s just that there is no corresponding salary and benefit distribution.
However, the Dharma Protector General has extremely high authority in the Heavenly King's Palace and can use Taoist skills to exchange for all the items hidden in the Taoist library.
You can even publish Taoist tasks!
Of course, even if you have a false title, you still have to bear certain responsibilities and obligations.
Mainly to protect the temple and suppress the weird.
"Little friend..."
Huizhi smiled and said: "Are you willing to take on the role of such a protector?"
Zhang Yuan read the telegram in his heart and replied without hesitation: "Thank you, senior, for your love, and I, the junior, are willing to take on the responsibility!"
If you refuse again, you will be disrespecting the chief mage.
And this so-called fictitious title of Dharma Protector General seemed to be tailor-made for him.
Zhang Yuan can't think of a reason to refuse!
