Martial Arts: Start by Obtaining the Wild World

Chapter 147 0146: The first oath contract!

Neishankou, Cheng Family Ancestral Hall.

Zhou Hansong asked a few people and found out Cheng Zongyang's location, then he brought Zhang Guangwen to look for him.

Outsiders were not allowed to enter the ancestral halls of the Cheng and Zhou families without permission. Zhou Hansong asked Zhang Guangwen to wait outside and went in alone.

As soon as I entered, I saw my eldest nephew writing something at the square table.

"Zongyang, there is something I need you to take care of." Zhou Hansong had to interrupt and explain, "Zhang Guangwen has entered the rank."

"My uncle is here." Cheng Zongyang stood up and called to Zhou Hansong, looking a little surprised: "Is he qualified? So quickly?"

Zhou Hansong, who is in charge of the affairs of the clan law hall, has been supervising the admission of foreigners. This is also to be responsible for the oath of the Immortal Ancestor.

Now that the first foreigner has become an entry-level warrior, Cheng Zongyang naturally needs to be the first to take responsibility. This way Zhou Hansong will know how to deal with it later.

After all, this so-called Immortal Ancestor's Oath was created by Cheng Zongyang, and he needs to personally handle the entire process.

Zhou Hansong smiled and said, "I said last time that he was about to enter the realm of the master. It makes sense. Regarding the oath contract, do you want to try it?"

Cheng Zongyang nodded: "Outside?"

Zhou Hansong nodded: "I'll ask him to wait outside."

"Let him in, I'll go get something." Cheng Zongyang said, and then entered a small house nearby.

This small house is usually reserved for the people who guard the ancestral hall to rest, but it is not used now and is temporarily used to store some ancestral hall supplies.

Zhou Hansong walked outside, Cheng Zongyang entered the small house and closed the door, then entered the wilderness world and manifested the oaths of ten immortal ancestors.

After coming out, he placed the remaining nine on the top of the wooden rack, took one, opened the door and walked out.

"Zhang Guangwen pays homage to the young clan leader."

Zhang Guangwen, who was standing behind Zhou Hansong, immediately bowed to Cheng Zongyang when he saw him. His tone and attitude were very respectful.

"No need to be polite." Cheng Zongyang smiled, put the animal skin on the square table, looked at Zhang Guangwen, and nodded slightly: "Not bad, it is indeed of good quality. But the blood and energy are not sufficient. If you have contribution points, go to the pharmacy to exchange for some body-tempering powder. Although it is expensive, strength is more important."

"Thank you for your concern, young clan leader. I will remember it!" Zhang Guangwen bowed again to express his gratitude.

"Okay, let's get to the point." Cheng Zongyang looked at Zhang Guangwen with a serious expression:

“Because you are the first warrior from another clan, the clan must also start the formal process for some things.

Zhang Guangwen, you also know that according to the rules of the clan, as long as you have contribution points, you can spend them to enter the martial arts hall to practice martial arts, and the Cheng family will also use the Cheng family's secret recipe to help you quickly enter the martial arts. I believe you have also experienced this, right?"

Zhang Guangwen heard this and nodded solemnly: "Yes."

Although he didn't know much about martial arts, a man in his thirties like him could become a martial artist in about three months. This was definitely the effect of the medicinal bath.

It was this point that made him realize that it would not be difficult for the Cheng family to cultivate martial artists of varying ranks, or even to cultivate a large number of them.

This also made him have even more respect for the Cheng family!
Cheng Zongyang continued, "According to the clan rules, the martial arts hall allows those who sign up to practice martial arts and enter the rank by spending contribution points, but that's all. If you want to learn martial arts and further break through to the eighth rank or even the seventh rank, you won't need just contribution points to do it."

Hearing this, Zhang Guangwen immediately had some enlightenment in his mind, which confirmed some of his guesses.

Being able to quickly train and produce entry-level warriors, he guessed that the Cheng family must have restrictions. Otherwise, it would be like giving the outsiders an advantage.

Now after hearing what Cheng Zongyang said, he knew that he would have to pay a price.

"Young Patriarch, please speak clearly." Zhang Guangwen also made his meaning clear: "As long as I can do it."

Cheng Zongyang smiled and said, "Don't be too nervous. Take a look at this Immortal Ancestor's oath first. Then listen to my conditions."

As he spoke, he pushed the hide over.

Upon seeing this, Zhang Guangwen immediately stepped forward, carefully took the animal skin from the table with both hands and began to look at it. After a moment, he heard Cheng Zongyang say:

"The Cheng family can't have trained people for nothing. Whether it's martial arts, higher martial arts techniques, or important positions in the village, all kinds of benefits and welfare will only be given to trusted people."

"listen."

"First, the Cheng family promises to train you to at least the seventh level within ten years. The third level depends on your aptitude. If your aptitude is good, the Cheng family will continue to train you if they have sufficient capabilities and resources.

Second, he promised to arrange a position as the captain of one of the halls, with 600 contribution points per month. Starting from the second year, it will be points per month; points in the third year... and so on. Better positions in the future will depend on your strength.

Third, your wife and children can see a doctor for free, and your children can go to school for free; the cost of learning martial arts is half price.

Fourth, when children become adults, if they have learned martial arts or have achieved academic success and meet the requirements, they can be given priority in getting jobs within the clan.

Fifth, if you sacrifice yourself for the Cheng family and the Cheng family is still there, your wife and children will be raised according to the clan rules, and your monthly contribution points will be converted into a pension in the name of your wife until your children reach the age of 18.

If you think these five conditions are okay, you can write them in. All you have to do is follow the above conditions. "

After listening to Cheng Zongyang's conditions, Zhang Guangwen focused his attention on the "Party B's oath" and "liability for breach of contract" on the animal skin.

-

(Put the work related to it, watch it yourself)

-

When he finished reading it, he felt a little frightened.

Whether it was "The Immortal Ancestor's Oath" or "The Soul Returns to the Wilderness", they both made him feel somewhat inexplicably weird.

Cheng Zongyang, who had been staring at Zhang Guangwen, saw his expression change and knew what he was thinking, and said:

"The Cheng family has many secret recipes, most of which were passed down from generation to generation by our ancestors. It's just that the descendants fell into poverty and only picked it up again today. Of course, you don't have to make a decision now.

Signing a contract must be voluntary. We will not force anyone. It is all voluntary.

This booklet contains the deeds of the first generation of our Cheng family ancestors, and it has been passed down from generation to generation. Of course, it is up to you to believe it or not. You can take it back and read it. Ask the steward to bring you to me within three days.

Tell me your decision then. If you agree, sign your name and prick your finger and press. The clan hall will arrange the conditions mentioned below one by one.

If you don't want to, it won't affect your life in the village or your ability to earn contribution points. Everything will remain the same."

"Yes, thank you for your understanding, Young Patriarch. I'll go back and think about it." Zhang Guangwen bowed a little embarrassedly. Cheng Zongyang waved his hand and told him to go back first.

Zhou Hansong watched the whole process. Especially when he heard about the deeds of his ancestors, he almost couldn't help laughing when he saw his eldest nephew speaking in a serious manner.

But he was also convinced by his nephew's aura. If he hadn't known about it beforehand, he would have believed what he said.

Zhang Guangwen left and Zhou Hansong did not try to persuade him. Everything was entirely voluntary.

It was already very good to be able to let people enter the rank, and if they wanted to continue to move up, they would naturally need to continue to consume the resources of the Cheng family. And the resources needed were accumulated and collected by the Cheng family with great difficulty, so the Cheng family naturally could not give them away for free.

Although he personally felt that the Immortal Ancestor's oath was useless, he didn't even dare to sign such an oath contract, and still wanted to continue using the resources specially cultivated by the Cheng family?
"Uncle."

Cheng Zongyang looked at Zhou Hansong beside him and said solemnly:
"The existence of our ancestors is not false. They will protect us in the dark. When you sign the Immortal Ancestor Oath with foreigners in the future, you must remember one thing.

If the other party signs his name and the blood fingerprint still exists within three breaths after pressing it, it proves that the other party signed it willingly. If both the handwriting and the blood disappear, it proves that the Cheng family ancestors knew that the other party was unwilling, so there was no need for him to sign. "

From now on, matters like this will be handled by his uncle, so I have to explain everything to him first.

As for the situation where the bloodstains and notes would disappear, he didn't care what his uncle thought and just told him about it.

Not everything needs to be explained.

As expected, Zhou Hansong was somewhat confused when he heard these strange words.

But seeing that his nephew had no intention of explaining further, and since it involved the so-called ancestor of the Cheng family, he didn't say much.

No one dares to talk about the affairs of their ancestors, otherwise it would be considered disrespectful.

But it just so happened that his eldest nephew not only used it to make up stories, but also used it to write a contract called the Oath of the Immortal Ancestor.

Of course, he was also curious whether this thing would really disappear automatically? If it really disappeared, was it really the blessing of the ancestors?

Zhou Hansong had no intention of staying to disturb Cheng Zongyang from writing. He said something and left the ancestral hall with a heart full of doubts.

At this time, Zhang Guangwen took the animal skin and the booklet, left Hanoi absent-mindedly, and walked towards his home outside the river.

Outside the river, Zhang Changjiang, who was waiting for news, immediately ran over when he saw his friend coming back, and said excitedly:

"Guangwen! How is it?"

Seeing his friend's excitement, Zhang Guangwen shook his head slightly: "Let's talk about it when we get back."

Seeing his friend so conflicted, although he was curious, he could only follow him back.

When they arrived at Zhang Guangwen's home, Zhang Guangwen asked his wife to pour a glass of water for Zhang Changjiang.

Their two families are neighbors and are not strangers to each other. After all, they are friends who have supported each other all the way through life and death.

"Excuse me, sister-in-law." Zhang Changjiang nodded slightly to Zhang Guangwen's wife, Zhang Cai, and then looked at his friend and asked immediately: "Tell me what happened. What happened? Is there something wrong with the clan hall?"

The thin Zhang Caishi standing by also looked at her husband nervously.

After her husband was admitted to the clan, she thought about registering at the clan hall to see if there were any new positions or jobs available, and also to see if she could exchange them for martial arts or something.

But this time he came back with a sad look on his face, which made her worried.

Zhang Guangwen shook his head and said, "No, take a look at these two documents first. Then tell me what you think after you finish reading them."

Cheng Zongyang did not restrict Zhang Guangwen from leaking these two things, nor did he need to keep them secret, so Zhang Guangwen did not keep them secret.

In particular, the booklet about the deeds of the ancestors of the Cheng family. I heard that it will be taught to children in the school by teachers in the form of stories later.

Zhang Changjiang took it and looked at the animal skin first. But after reading the contents on it, his expression became a little confused and a little strange.

Then he picked up the booklet again. There were not many pages in it, only a dozen or so thin pages.

It talks about the first generation ancestor of the Cheng family, as well as the subsequent ancestors of the Cheng family, up to the current situation of the Cheng family.

This was nothing, but when he saw that the first generation ancestor of the Cheng family was actually an immortal who came from the so-called "wilderness", he felt something was a bit strange. The content of the subsequent breach of contract was that the soul returned to the wilderness, which was even more creepy.

He was silent for a long while before he said to Zhang Guangwen, "Do you feel that this so-called Immortal Ancestor's Oath is a little weird, so you don't dare to sign it casually?"

Zhang Guangwen nodded: "To be honest, the so-called oath is really useless to us. If the oath was useful, the world would not be like this. But it is a bit weird that the young patriarch would take out such a thing and ask us to sign it.

If the young patriarch took out a contract to sell his body or something like that, I could understand. But even if we break the contract, it seems that it will have no effect on the Cheng family. "

Zhang Changjiang asked, "What are the conditions? Didn't the young patriarch promise anything when he asked you to sign it? This contract is for ten years."

Zhang Guangwen thought about it and roughly repeated what he had heard. After he finished speaking, he thought about it again and felt that there were basically no mistakes or omissions.

As a result, when he finished speaking, Zhang Changjiang's eyes widened: "Such a good benefit?"

Zhang Cai, who was standing by, also became agitated and a little anxious after hearing this, but she couldn't speak now.

Zhang Changjiang looked at his friend solemnly at this time: "Will you break the oath above?"

Zhang Guangwen shook his head: "This hard-earned good life is much better than when I was in the village. How could I destroy it?"

"Okay, since there will be no breach of contract, then what are you worried about? If this thing is useless, why are you worried? Unless you have something to hide. Besides, even if it is useful, it's okay as long as it's not breached, right?

With such good benefits, my sister-in-law and the children will have a more stable life in the future. Your future is also bright... You, I don't know what to say to you! It's just that I haven't been selected yet, otherwise I would have signed on the spot!"

"Also, do you really think that we can get more cultivation resources from the Cheng family without paying anything? Even the contribution points were obtained through our hard work. If we hadn't been lucky enough to be saved by the young patriarch, would we be where we are now?"

"Take a step back, assuming that the contents of this booklet are true, and the Cheng family develops into a large family in the future, will our status also rise with it? The Cheng family has just started. If we keep following, won't our descendants be able to flourish and benefit from it, and rise with the Cheng family? At that time, it is possible to become the Cheng family's confidant.

Oh, by the way, where is Xiao Kun? Let him take my daughter Ni'er out to play and cultivate their relationship. We have to help each other. We both have the surname Zhang. "

"You guy..." Zhang Guangwen, who was left speechless by his friend's last words, finally came out of his dilemma.

What Zhang Changjiang said was right. Since he had never thought of betraying the Cheng family, why should he worry so much?
Thinking that you can get the cultivation resources to advance without paying anything? That's really overthinking.

"Thanks, brother." Zhang Guangwen smiled.
