"Zhao Yun, meet the Taoist priest." Zhang Yuan clasped his fists and bowed to Taoist priest Xuan Cheng, saying, "I am here to ask if the Taoist priest's invitation is still valid?" When he first came to the Heavenly King Palace, he had communicated with the Taoist priest Xuan Cheng in front of him. The other party thought that Zhang Yuan had a connection with the Heavenly King Palace and invited him to serve as the guardian outside the Heavenly King Palace. But Zhang Yuan was not interested at that time, so he politely declined. However, as time passed, Xishanji has become a place of trouble, and he can't find a way to obtain the fourth-level skills, so after thinking about it, he decided to try his luck here. If this way doesn't work, then he can only find another way. Zhang Yuan was also prepared to be rejected by the other party. As a result, Taoist Xuancheng smiled and answered happily: "Of course!" "Thank you for your kindness, Taoist."
Zhang Yuan was a little embarrassed, so he simply said straight to the point: "Taoist, I have been promoted to the fourth level, but I don't have any practice methods. I wonder if the Heavenly King Palace has a Qi Realm inheritance, and whether the external protectors can practice it?" Now he needs help from the other party, there is no need to hide it. "So the layman has been promoted to the Qi Realm!" A trace of surprise flashed in Taoist Xuancheng's eyes-he really didn't see it! But he reacted quickly. It's really rare for a warrior without a sect or a background to open up the Qi Sea and condense the true Qi. But it's not uncommon! Although Taoist Xuancheng belongs to the Taoist lineage, he fully understands the dilemma Zhang Yuan is facing. Without the fourth-level practice method, he naturally can't use the innate true Qi correctly, and he can't exert his due strength. So it looks like there is no big difference from the third level. But he would never look down on Zhang Yuan because of this. On the contrary, he felt that Zhang Yuan was upright and not pedantic, and his martial arts talent was also very outstanding. He really didn't make a mistake at the beginning! Taoist Xuancheng pondered for a moment, and first explained to Zhang Yuan the responsibilities of the outer guardians of the Heavenly King Palace. The temple guardians are divided into internal and external. The outer guardians are equivalent to the guest officials in the sects. Their status is quite free. There are not too many restrictions. Correspondingly, the outer guardians do not have a monthly salary, and can only obtain Taoist merit by completing tasks. And Taoist merit can be used to exchange for weapons, elixirs, talismans and martial arts!
Just as Zhang Yuan expected. The Heavenly King Palace not only has the martial arts and martial arts inheritance of the Qi Realm. And there are many arts and rich categories! It's just that the law is not easily passed on. The higher the grade of the martial arts, the more Taoist merit is required. And many martial arts are not taught outside, so even if the outer guardians have enough Taoist merit, they cannot be exchanged. Unless they become inner guardians, that is, real temple guardians! Taoist Xuancheng explained it in detail, and Zhang Yuan also heard it clearly, and was somewhat disappointed. There is no problem with the system and regulations of the Heavenly King Hall. It is a model of paying according to work and more work, more pay. It is very fair. The problem is that he needs to accumulate a lot of Taoist skills to get a fourth-level skill. How long will it take? Zhang Yuan couldn't help but sigh in his heart, it is really difficult to take shortcuts! At this time, Taoist Xuancheng said seriously: "Mr. Zhao, I have a family-inherited Qigong method called Zhengqi Jue. As long as you swear under the throne of the Heavenly King, you will practice it yourself and not pass it on to others." "I am willing to give this skill to you!" Give you a Qigong method? Zhang Yuan was shocked. He knew how precious the skills above the fourth level were. The other party wanted to give it to him with just one sentence. This was really a great favor. And Taoist Xuancheng was talking about a family-inherited skill! Under normal circumstances, the inheritance of aristocratic families is to pass on the inheritance of males, not females, and to pass on the inheritance of the legitimate wife, not the illegitimate child. Even if an outsider has made great contributions. Unless he marries into the family. Otherwise, don't expect to get the true inheritance! Zhang Yuan and Taoist Xuancheng have only met once, and there is no deep friendship between them. It seems that the latter has nothing to ask of him. It is really incredible that he is so generous. Zhang Yuan couldn't help asking: "Master, do you need my help?" It's not that Zhang Yuan is judging others by his own meanness. But a big pie suddenly fell from the sky, and you can't just swallow it without caring, right? Taoist Xuancheng smiled slightly, raised a finger and replied: "One favor, if I need the help of the layman in the future, how about using this favor to offset it?"
"Okay!" Zhang Yuan agreed without hesitation: "As long as it is not a thing that harms the world, just speak up at that time!" Zhang Yuan never thought of himself as a saint. But not doing things that harm the world is his bottom line. If a person, a strong man with extraordinary power, has no bottom line, what is the difference between that and weirdness? Maybe it's even worse than weirdness! "Of course." Taoist Xuancheng looked at Zhang Yuan with a little more appreciation in his eyes and said, "Please wait for a moment, I'll be back soon." After the Taoist from the Heavenly King Hall left, he returned again after only a cup of tea. "Mr. Zhao, please follow me." So Zhang Yuan followed him into the hall. The main hall of the Heavenly King in the high tower was still filled with incense, and the majestic statue of the Heavenly King stood tall, as if it had never changed. Zhang Yuan asked for three incense sticks and offered them respectfully. Then, according to Taoist Xuancheng's request, he swore in front of the statue, promising not to leak the former's family practice. If he violated this oath, the gods would punish him and he would be destroyed! It was strange to say. After Zhang Yuan completed his oath, he felt a gaze coming from somewhere, piercing through his heart and straight into his soul. There was a hint of mystery and mystery in his body. It seems to resonate with the statue in front of me! It's just that Zhang Yuan was magnanimous and didn't feel any strangeness afterward. When he returned to the side hall, Taoist Xuancheng took out a thick book from his arms and handed it to him solemnly. Zhang Yuan took it with both hands and saw three powerful characters "Zhengqi Jue" written on the cover. To his surprise. This skill secret book is not a handwritten copy. Its quality and texture are clearly rare or even original! Zhang Yuan opened the cover and saw that the space in the first chapter was filled with small characters. All are general notes! This made him feel that the skill secret book in his hand was heavy, and the weight was really not light. After closing the cover again, Zhang Yuan held the book in both hands and saluted Taoist Xuancheng: "Zhao will definitely live up to Taoist Master Xuancheng's kindness!"
Taoist Xuancheng stretched out his hand to support him, smiled and said, "You don't have to be polite, layman." After a pause, the Taoist from the Heavenly King Palace said again: "This is a matter for me and has nothing to do with whether the layman serves as a protector. The layman can go back and think carefully before making a decision." Zhang Yuan shook his head and replied without thinking: "I have made up my mind and am willing to protect the temple!" With the protection in front of me, joining the Palace of Heavenly Kings is a good choice. Moreover, the external protector is like a guest, so it will be easy to leave in the future. Why not!
