Chapter 4384: The power of the immortal God (1)
They didn’t have to wait too long before the villagers gathered and filled the empty space in front of the gate.
There were men and women, young and old. Their faces were filled with worry, but their eyes were filled with anticipation.
The villagers had been worried all this time, afraid that they would be robbed by the bandits.
They wanted to escape, but they couldn’t give up their thatched cottages and fields. Although they weren’t worth much, they were the accumulation of the villagers ‘hard work in their lives.
Not to mention that in other places, an official travel Pass was required, and if one couldn’t produce it, they would be sent to prison.
They were either sent to the mines or to the border, often never returning.
For the villagers, they could still get a mouthful of porridge if they stayed at home, but it was difficult for them to go out.
Not to mention, there were also beasts and bandits, who came and went to harass them, making the long journey more and more difficult.
Now that they had suddenly heard that the young master of the village had a way to deal with the mountain bandits, the villagers naturally rushed over.
In the eyes of these villagers, the village chief was the sky above their heads. He had the ability and knowledge to solve problems that they couldn’t.
The young master of the village head’s family was also a noble, so he naturally had the same ability.
After seeing Tang Zhen, the villagers were all shocked. They had clearly discovered his change.
At the same time that he was secretly bewildered, his confidence grew. It was as if the Tang Zhen before him was more worthy of his trust.
“I know that recently, everyone has been worried about the bandits, afraid that they will pillage the village.
I can tell you that this will definitely happen, and people will definitely die.
This group of bandits was lawless. They killed, set fire, raped, and pillaged. It could be said that they had done all kinds of bad things.
Even if you kneel down and hand over your money, the bandits won’t leave so easily.”
Hearing Tang Zhen’s words, the villagers were so scared that they trembled. Some of them were so anxious that they even shed tears.
“Young master, you have to think of something!”
Some villagers knelt on the ground in fear and kept kowtowing to Tang Zhen. When the villagers beside them saw this, they actually followed suit and knelt down.
After hearing Tang Zhen’s description, the villagers really panicked. They couldn’t wait to find a way to save their lives.
Tang Zhen, who was standing in front of them, was the villagers ‘only choice.
Upon seeing this, Tang Zhen extended his hand and motioned for the villagers to stand up. He used a steady and powerful voice and said,”I do have a way to solve this crisis, but I need everyone’s cooperation.”
“Young master, what do you need us to do?”
A well-built villager stood out and loudly said to Tang Zhen. Among a group of weak and lowly villagers, this fellow was like a crane standing among a chicken.
“We’ll do as young master says.”
The other villagers spoke up, indicating that they were willing to listen to the command.
Tang Zhen nodded and continued to speak to the villagers,”The method is very simple. All of you place your thumbprints on the contract and agree to join my family.
As long as you agree to it, I can provide you with protection and prevent you from being disturbed by the bandits.”
When the villagers heard this, they hesitated. They felt that he was selling himself as a slave.
“I know what you’re worried about, but that’s not the case. You won’t be reduced to slaves, and you’ll get your salary and rice every month.
Your family will be protected, and you will be able to eat well and wear warm clothes. Your children will also have the opportunity to study and learn martial arts, and you will be able to marry and have children to carry on the family line.
No matter if it’s studying or practicing martial arts, I’ll be responsible for paying for it. You don’t need to spend a single silver.”
When the villagers heard this, they all revealed bewildered expressions. They kept feeling that Tang Zhen’s description was too exaggerated.
They would not be slaves. They would be paid a monthly salary and their descendants would be able to study and practice martial arts.
Even the children of rich families might not have such treatment, not to mention that they were just a group of poor farmers.
The benefits that fell from the sky stunned the villagers. They couldn’t believe that this was the truth.
All of them shrank their heads, not daring to speak.
Tang Zhen involuntarily laughed coldly when he saw this scene,”There’s only one chance. If you’re willing, you can put your handprint on the contract.
If you’re not willing, then you can only pray for yourself. If the bandits really come, don’t expect me to save you.”
When Tang Zhen said this, he walked to the Hitching Stone at the door of his house and suddenly lifted his leg to kick it.
“BOOM!”
The stone Hitching Post, which was about one meter tall and a foot wide, was actually kicked into two.
Such a terrifying strength caused the villagers to draw in a breath of cold air. They stared at Tang Zhen as if they were looking at a monster.
“To tell you the truth, I just met an immortal. He taught me a lot of skills, which is why I’m confident in fighting those bandits.
At the same time, the immortal told me that he would protect me and my family from the bandits.”
As Tang Zhen spoke up to this point, he picked up the broken half of the rock and threw another punch.
The sturdy bluestone pillar was smashed into pieces by Tang Zhen’s fist, just like rotten wood.
Upon hearing that there was an immortal’s help, the villagers immediately believed him. Otherwise, there was no way to explain Tang Zhen’s transformation.
He was just a thin and weak young man, but he had become so strong in the blink of an eye and had even mastered such a terrifying martial art.
If not for the help of an immortal, it would be impossible.
The villagers who were still hesitating at first were now all smiling as if they had taken calming pills.
“We believe in young master, even though he wouldn’t lie to us.”
“With the protection of the immortals, it seems like we can really avoid this tribulation!”
“I’ll go first, where should I place my handprint?”
When uncle Fu saw this, he hurriedly looked at Tang Zhen. His eyes were filled with joy and worry.
Tang Zhen’s change was too great. He was like a completely different person from the past, causing uncle Fu to be unable to help but feel suspicious.
At the same time, he guessed that it should be related to the secret passage in the backyard.
However, uncle Fu didn’t have the time to think about it at this moment. He didn’t dare to investigate too deeply either.
He even faintly felt that the current Tang Zhen was obviously better and should be able to smoothly manage this family business.
Following Tang Zhen’s instructions, uncle Fu took a piece of animal skin paper and walked to the villagers.
He took out a Vermillion ink pad and asked the villagers to put their fingerprints on it one by one, filling up the animal skin paper.
After the villagers were all pressed down, Tang Zhen instructed uncle Fu to prepare a meal and quietly wait for the next step of the ceremony to begin.
When they heard that there would be free food, the villagers were overjoyed. This was something they could not ask for.
According to Tang Zhen’s request, the villagers entered the courtyard together and looked around with curious faces.
Not everyone could enter the village chief’s courtyard. Most of the villagers were not qualified to enter.
At the same time, he was also curious about what he was going to do next.
Tang Zhen brought a contract and first came to the bedroom in the middle courtyard. He raised his leg and kicked through the back wall.
In Tang Zhen’s memory, all of his family’s assets were hidden here. They added up to a total of one thousand silver taels.
The family had managed to save up this amount of wealth after three generations. After being sealed in the wall for many years, the surface of the silver ingot had already turned black.
He was just a landlord, so he couldn’t be considered very rich.
Tang Zhen picked up a box of silver and returned to the secret passage. He then activated the foundation stone platform.
After placing all the items needed to establish the City Tower in front of the stone platform, Tang Zhen chose to confirm the construction.
An extremely shocking scene appeared in Tang Zhen’s consciousness sea.
The house was enveloped by a mysterious force. The ground began to shake, and twenty-meter-thick walls broke out from the ground on all sides.
The villagers in the courtyard were all shocked by this sudden accident. They looked at the stone wall rising from the ground with a dazed expression.
Four huge walls surrounded the courtyard, forming a completely sealed Castle.
There was clearly a passage inside the huge wall, and there were many uneven holes above it.
Before everyone could recover from their shock, the house under their feet also rose from the ground, rising to half the height of the city wall.
Four more stone walls appeared, connecting the courtyard and the four walls. They were also sixteen to seventeen meters above the ground.
A tunnel-like hole appeared at the place where they were connected to each other, allowing one to directly enter the giant city wall.
After the connection was completed, the lower part of the four short walls quickly collapsed, turning into an arch bridge-like shape.
Looking at the magnificent scene in front of them, the villagers were dumbfounded. They finally believed what Tang Zhen had said.
If he didn’t have the power of the immortal God, how could he have such a magnificent feat?
