Vol 2 Chapter 3: The power of the gods

It didn't take long for the villagers to gather, filling the open space in front of the door.
There are men, women and children, with worry on their faces and anticipation in their eyes.
It is true that since this time, the villagers have been worried, for fear of being ransacked by bandits.
If you want to escape and hide, you can't give up the thatched hut and thin fields. Although it is not worth much, it is the accumulation of the villagers' hard work for a lifetime.
Not to mention, when you are out of town, you need an official road guide. If you can't get it, you will be sent to prison.
Either sent to the mine, or sent to the frontier, often gone forever.
For the villagers, staying at home can still make a mouthful of porridge, but after going out, it is difficult everywhere.
Not to mention that there are beasts and bandits who are harassing and harassing them all the way, making it more and more difficult to travel long distances.
Now that I suddenly heard that the village chief and young master have a solution to the bandit, the villagers naturally rushed in.
In the eyes of these villagers, the village chief is the sky above their heads, capable and knowledgeable, and able to solve the problems they cannot solve.
The young master of the village chief's family is also a nobleman, and naturally has the same ability.
After seeing Tang Zhen, the villagers were all shocked, apparently discovering his change.
While he was secretly suspicious, his confidence was strong. It seemed that Tang Zhen in front of him was more trustworthy.
"I know that recently, everyone has been worried about the bandits, for fear that they will loot the village.
I can tell you that this will definitely happen, and it will definitely kill people.
These bandits are lawless, murdering, setting fire, committing and looting. It can be said that they do bad things.
Even if you kneel down to greet him and hand in your money obediently, the bandit will never leave easily. "
Hearing Tang Zhen say this, the villagers shivered with fright, and some were so anxious that they burst into tears.
"Master, you have to think of a way!"
Some villagers knelt on the ground in horror and kept kowtowing to Tang Zhen. When the villagers next to him saw this, they even followed suit and knelt down.
Hearing Tang Zhen's description, the villagers were really panicked and couldn't wait to find a way to save their lives.
Tang Zhen, who was standing in front of him, was the only choice for the villagers.
Seeing this, Tang Zhen stretched out his hand, motioned the villagers to stand up, and said in a calm and powerful voice, "I do have a way to solve this crisis, but I need everyone's cooperation."
"Master, tell me, what do we need to do?"
A strong villager stood up and said loudly to Tang Zhen, among the thin and humble villagers, this guy stood out a bit.
"What the young master says, we will do it."
Other villagers spoke up, expressing their willingness to follow orders.
Tang Zhen nodded and continued to the villagers: "The method is very simple, you press your fingerprints on the contract and agree to join my family.
As long as you agree, I can provide shelter to keep you safe from bandits. "
Hearing this, the villagers showed a hint of hesitation, feeling that they were selling themselves into slavery.
"I know what you're worried about, but it's not the case, you're not enslaved, and you're getting wages and rice every month.
Your family will be sheltered. From now on, you will be able to eat and dress warmly, your children will also have the opportunity to study and learn martial arts, and you will be able to marry and have children to pass on your lineage.
Whether it is studying or practicing martial arts, I will be responsible for paying the money, and you don't need to spend a penny. "
When the villagers heard this, they all looked suspicious, and always felt that Tang Zhen's description was too exaggerated.
It is not a slave status, there is wages and rice grains every month, and future generations can also read and practice martial arts.
Even the children of rich families may not have such treatment, not to mention that they are only a group of poor and lowly peasant households.
The benefits of falling from the sky made the villagers a little confused and couldn't believe it was a fact.
They shrugged their heads one by one, and no one dared to speak.
Seeing this scene, Tang Zhen couldn't help but sneer: "There is only one chance, if you are willing, put your fingerprint on the contract.
If you don't want to, you can only ask for more blessings. If the bandits really come, don't expect me to save you. "
When Tang Zhen said this, he walked towards the Shuanma Stone at the door of the house, and suddenly kicked it.
"boom!"
About one meter high and one foot square, the horse tie-down stone pile was kicked into two pieces.
Such terrifying power made the villagers take a deep breath and stared at Tang Zhen as if they were looking at a monster.
"To tell you the truth, I just met the immortal, and he taught me a whole body of skills, so I can definitely fight against those bandits.
At the same time, the immortal told me that he would protect me and my family from the harassment of thieves and bandits. "
When Tang Zhen said this, he picked up the broken half of the stone and smashed it out with another punch.
The section of the hard bluestone pillar was smashed to pieces by Tang Zhen's punch, like a rotten rotten tree.
Hearing that the immortals helped, the villagers immediately believed seven points, otherwise there was no way to explain Tang Zhen's change.
He was only a thin and weak boy, but he became so strong in a blink of an eye, and he also mastered such terrifying martial arts.
If it weren't for the immortal's action, it would be impossible.
The villagers who were hesitant at first became beaming with smiles as if they had taken a reassurance pill.
"We believe the young master, although he will not deceive us."
"With the blessing of immortals, it seems that this disaster can really be avoided!"
"I'll come first, where should the handprint be pressed?"
Seeing this, Uncle Fu hurriedly looked at Tang Zhen with joy and worry in his eyes.
Tang Zhen had changed so much that he was completely different from the past, which made Uncle Fu couldn't help but wonder.
At the same time, he secretly guessed that it should be related to the secret passage in the backyard.
But at this moment, Uncle Fu didn't have time to think about it, nor did he dare to investigate further.
Even faintly felt that the current Tang Zhen is obviously better, and should be able to run the family business smoothly.
According to Tang Zhen's instructions, Uncle Fu took a thin animal skin paper and walked to the villagers with it.
Take out the vermilion ink pad, let the villagers press their handprints one by one, and print a piece of animal skin paper full.
After the villagers had all pressed, Tang Zhen instructed Uncle Fu to prepare the meal and wait for the next ceremony to begin.
Hearing that there is free food, the villagers are happy again, which is simply a good thing they could not ask for.
According to Tang Zhen's request, the villagers collectively entered the yard and looked around curiously.
Not everyone can enter the compound of the village chief's house, and most of the villagers are not eligible.
Also wondering what to do next.
With a contract, Tang Zhen first came to the bedroom of the middle courtyard, raised his foot and kicked through the back wall.
In Tang Zhen's memory, all the family property was hidden here, adding up to a thousand taels of silver.
The family has run it for three generations, and finally saved this wealth. It was sealed in the wall for many years, and the surface of the silver ingot has turned black.
But he is a landlord, not too rich at all.
Tang Zhen picked up a box of silver, returned to the secret passage, and activated the cornerstone platform.
All the items needed to set up the building were placed in front of the stone platform, and Tang Zhen chose to confirm the establishment.
An incomparably astonishing scene appeared in Tang Zhen's sea of ​​consciousness.
The house was shrouded in mysterious power, the ground began to tremble, and twenty-meter-thick walls broke out from all sides.
The villagers in the yard were all shocked by this sudden accident, and watched the stone wall rise from the ground with a dull expression.
Huge walls on all four sides firmly surrounded the courtyard, forming a completely enclosed castle.
Inside this huge wall, there are obviously passages, and there are many uneven openings above.
Before everyone came back to their senses, the house under their feet rose from the ground, rising to half the height of the city wall.
Another four stone walls appeared, connecting the house and the four walls, and the height above the ground was 16 or 7 meters.
Where they are connected, there are tunnel-like holes that can directly enter the inside of the giant city wall.
After the connection was completed, the bottom of the four low walls collapsed quickly and turned into an arch bridge-like shape.
Seeing the magnificent scene in front of them, the villagers were stunned, and finally believed what Tang Zhen said before.
If there is no immortal power, how can it be possible to have such a majestic feat?
