Chapter 306 Wisdom
The path was winding and bumpy, and the sound of bells could be heard faintly in the wind, floating in the air and seeming to be present and absent.

But it reached Zhang Yuan's ears very clearly.

His intuition told him that someone else was coming!

Just as Zhang Yuan was about to control the Red-Eyed Crow to check the situation, a Taoist priest in a gray robe riding a donkey suddenly appeared in his sight.

I saw a big green-haired donkey swaying its head as it walked along the path, and the bell hanging under its neck jingled.

The Taoist priest sitting on the donkey's back had white hair and his wrinkled face showed the vicissitudes of life.

The old Taoist half closed his eyes and his body swayed left and right with the donkey.

It looks like it will fall down at any time.

Zhang Yuan's pupils suddenly contracted!

Because in his perception, the old Taoist who came on a donkey seemed to have merged with the surrounding world. He could clearly see him, but he could not lock on to him.

It seems real and illusory, and is completely elusive!
Zhang Yuan felt that since he awakened his memories of his past life, he had met many masters and strong men.

But no one had ever given him such a strange feeling.

Zhang Yuan doubted that even if he picked up the iron bow, he would not be able to hit it even from a distance of one or two hundred steps.

His intuition told him that the cultivation level of the person coming was beyond his imagination!
Master?

Archmage!?

The next moment, a person's name instantly emerged in Zhang Yuan's mind.

Wisdom!

The master of the Xiaxu Heavenly King Palace, the only great magician, Chief Huizhi!

At this moment, Zhang Yuan had the urge to escape immediately.

If this great master Huizhi had ill intentions towards Zhang Yuan, then the Changtian River not far away would be his only option for escape.

And the time left for him is very short.

Zhang Yuan couldn't help but take a deep breath and suppress the doubt, fear and worry that had just arisen in his heart.

Being timid when facing a strong opponent and fleeing without fighting may be a wise choice.

But if he ran away now, it would be tantamount to acknowledging his cowardice and incompetence.

Don’t even think about establishing true martial arts will in this lifetime!
You know, the visitor did not show any hostility, but Zhang Yuan's own confidence collapsed first.

Then what about the spirit of martial arts?
His eyes became firm again, and he watched quietly as the big blue donkey carrying the Taoist priest walked in front of him.

Zhang Yuan clasped his fists and saluted, "Excuse me, Senior, is this the Chief Grand Master in person?"

The old Taoist in gray robe smiled slightly, floated down from the donkey's back, bowed his head and said in return: "I am Huizhi, I am sorry for disturbing you today."

The attitude was surprisingly polite.

Zhang Yuan was surprised, but also relieved, and quickly said, "I dare not, senior, please come in."

He opened the door of his house and made an inviting gesture to Huizhi.

Zhang Yuan could be sure that the chief wizard had no ill will towards him.

Otherwise, with the opponent's strength, there is no need to pretend, you can just attack directly and take him down.

Taoist Huizhi, leading the big blue donkey, followed Zhang Yuan into the courtyard with a smile on his face.

The chief of the Heavenly King Hall looked around and said with a smile, "It's a quiet place. My friend has good taste."

"My humble abode is so simple, I am sorry to have embarrassed you, Senior."

Zhang Yuan spoke modestly as he brought out tables, chairs and tea sets from the room and invited this true master to sit down.

Huizhi sat down without any hesitation, and took out a small purple clay pot from his sleeve, saying, "This is wild mountain tea newly picked this year. It tastes pretty good. Please fetch some mountain spring water for us to brew some."

Zhang Yuan naturally followed suit.

His residence was close to Taiwu Mountain, and there were many springs nearby, making it very convenient to get water.

In addition, tea stoves and tea sets are also available.

Soon, the charcoal fire in the tea stove boiled the mountain spring water in the teapot, and bubbles began to bubble up.

Although Zhang Yuan doesn't know much about tea ceremony.

But he still knew the basic method of brewing tea. He used the wild tea brought by Huizhi to brew a cup for the other person and himself.

"Senior please."

Zhang Yuan raised his teacup and greeted Huizhi.

Until now, he was still clueless as to the purpose of this great wizard's visit.

There is no need to elaborate on Huizhi's identity. Before Zhang Yuan took on the role of guardian of the Heavenly King Palace, he had never seen this chief.

All we know is that this great wizard sits in the palace, in charge of the center and rarely goes out.

The specific affairs of the Heavenly King Hall are handled by the masters of the branch halls and the deacons under them.

Zhang Yuan didn't expect that the other party would take the initiative to visit him!

He couldn't help but think of the last time Xuan Cheng came to him and wanted him to serve as the guardian general of the Heavenly King Palace.

Zhang Yuan refused at that time.

With Huizhi's identity, it's impossible that he is here to call for punishment, right?

Thinking in his mind, Zhang Yuan drank the hot tea in the cup.

As the tea entered his stomach, a warm current instantly spread throughout his body, making him feel refreshed, as if his body and soul had been purified at the same time, and his whole body was warm and comfortable.

Zhang Yuan came back to his senses and couldn't help but be secretly surprised.

This wild tea looks ordinary and doesn't smell anything special.

Only when you drink it can you taste the real flavor, it is definitely not ordinary stuff!
He couldn't help but praise: "Good tea!"

Huizhi smiled and pointed to the purple clay teapot next to the tea stove: "This is for you."

"Thank you for your love, senior."

Zhang Yuan put down the empty cup and couldn't help asking, "Senior, may I ask if you have condescended to come here to help me with something?"

Huizhi stroked his white beard and smiled, "I came here this time to see you first and to thank you for what you have done for the Heavenly King Palace."

Zhang Yuan suddenly realized that Huizhi was obviously talking about the free porridge relief program.

He shook his head: "I am just a junior who is grateful for the kindness of the Heavenly King and is doing my best. I don't deserve your words."

Huizhi smiled but said nothing.

After a while, the chief of the Heavenly King Hall continued, "Secondly, I would like to ask you to serve as the guardian general."

"what?"

Zhang Yuan was stunned: "Senior, I just..."

"Listen to me first."

Huizhi waved his hand and continued, "I know your concerns and will not embarrass you."

The great magician told Zhang Yuan that the guardian gods of the Temple of Heavenly Kings were actually divided into real positions and honorary titles, one on the left and one on the right, one bright and one dark. There was no need to say much about the former, which must be fully incorporated into the temple's system.

The nature of the latter is similar to that of the outer hall guardian. There is no need to set up a soul lamp in the hall, and they can come and go freely without being bound by hall rules.

Despite this, the guardian deity with honorary titles still has a noble status, equivalent to the master of a branch hall and the elders in the hall.

It’s just that there is no corresponding salary and benefits distribution.

However, the guardian deity will have extremely high authority in the Heavenly King Hall and can use his Taoist skills to exchange for all items stored in the Taoist treasury.

You can even post Taoist tasks!
Of course, even if it is an honorary title, one still has to bear certain responsibilities and obligations.

Mainly responsible for guarding the temple and suppressing weirdness.

"My friend..."

Huizhi smiled and said, "Are you willing to take on the role of such a guardian general?"

Zhang Yuan's mind raced, and he answered without hesitation: "Thank you for your kindness, senior. I am willing to take on this responsibility!"

To refuse again would be too disrespectful to the chief wizard.

Moreover, this so-called guardian general with a nominal title seemed to be tailor-made for him.

Zhang Yuan couldn't think of any reason to refuse!
