In a broad sense, a contract is essentially a transaction, except that this transaction is programmed and more directly and freely traded by certain people or things, either literally or materially.

The spirit of contract is the main god of Western civilized society, in fact, Yang Yi, who used to be a modern person, also likes this kind of promise in black and white.

However, in the ancient East, the culture here tended to be subtle and elegant, and many things would be considered to be unsophisticated or cold-blooded if they were put on the table. This kind of thing is a very reasonable idea in the West, but it has become a very derogatory behavior in the East.

There is no right or wrong in this, it is just a result of pure cultural differences.

A ring of contract can make the Di people retreat, but once Yang Yi does this, it will undoubtedly push himself completely to the opposite side of the Di people, and will make the Di people subconsciously feel that Yang Yi is threatening themselves with moral kidnapping, and the disgust is self-evident.

Tao He is a lesson from the past, he used a contract ring to force the Di people to live in a corner, but since then, the Di people have never intersected with Tao He, so that Tao He got Shu but lost the most powerful force in Shu, which is actually more than worth the loss.

Yang Yi's renunciation of the Ring of Contract was well thought out, and what inspired him was the wise pioneer Zhuge Kongming in the history of his previous life to pacify the Southern Barbarians. Of course, Yang Yi didn't dare to compare himself with that kind of person with great wisdom, but the effect of the ring of the contract was actually the same as winning a battlefield, and it was not difficult for Zhuge Kongming to defeat the Southern Barbarian Army on the battlefield, and if he wanted the Southern Barbarians to never rebel or even use it for himself, he could only capture and collect his heart.

Therefore, even if Yang Yi used the Ring of Contract to make the Di clan retreat, he didn't have to think about it to know that one day in the future, the Di people would still make a comeback. What's more, Yang Yi not only wants the Di people to stop fighting now, but he also needs them to help him and add a sufficient amount of bargaining chips to his life-and-death game with Tao He.

On the surface, it seems that Yang Yi is too reckless, but in fact, a dead thing, in exchange for the favor and trust of Shama Naigu, this is the true meaning of the ring of the contract.

Sure enough, Shama Naigu looked at Yang Yi a little strangely, and said suspiciously: "Without the ring of the contract, what are you going to negotiate with me?" ”

Hearing this, everyone looked at Yang Yi, which was also their doubt, and the Wuwei Daoist even thought that Yang Yi was really a nine nerds and was sick at this critical moment.

Yang Yi grabbed a handful of melon seeds from his arms, put them on the table and drank them, and said without raising his head: "The ring of the contract itself is a testimony of the friendship between Daguang and the Zhen people, this friendship has existed for hundreds of years, if I let it break in my hands, I will become a sinner through the ages." ”

Glancing at Shama Naigu, Yang Yi said again: "Of course, even if you and I have something to trade, I think it should be fair and just, rather than using a small jade ring, which makes our transaction extremely unequal, you will feel aggrieved, and I will not feel very comfortable." ”

Shamanaigu smiled and said: "If you want to talk about fairness, your Kangzhou army slaughtered two villages of our Zhen tribe for no reason, killing and wounding hundreds of people, and not even sparing children, what do you think is fair to use to eliminate our grievances?" ”

"I feel sorry for the casualties of the innocent, and the only way to relieve the resentment in the hearts of you and your people is to let the real murderer be beheaded, let the dead souls rest in peace, and give the living more hope."

Shamanagu nodded and said seriously: "Okay, for the sake of this contract ring, I will listen to you, if you can convince me, you can leave safely today, I will not kill you." ”

Yang Yi nodded with a smile, raised his head and drank a glass of wine, and said: "First, I believe that Daoist Wuwei has already told you about Connecticut, but it is actually Tao He's greed for the longevity pill of your Zhen clan, and he is mad. Not to mention that inaction is an upright person, and he will never lie. I have been in Shuzhong for less than three months, and I have been appointed by Tao He as the commander of the Kangzhou Army for less than a month, and you only need to send someone to Chengzhou Mansion to ask someone casually. ”

Shama Naigu frowned and did not speak, listening carefully to Yang Yi's words.

In fact, Tao He's use of Yang Yi as a substitute for the dead ghost has a lot of flaws, as long as the people of the Di tribe can see the greasy in it after a little investigation. But this matter is difficult in the problem of Yang Yi and the Di people, theoretically speaking, it is impossible for the Di people to see Yang Yi, and listen to his explanation, in Tao He's expectation, when Yang Yi sees the Di people, it is when Yang Yi's head falls to the ground.

However, Tao He never expected that Wuwei Dao and Yang Yi would know each other, let alone that the last contract ring was in Yang Yi's hands.

"Second, for the dead compatriots of the Zhen tribe, I am personally willing to pay for their burials, give their families enough consolation, and will inevitably exterminate the culprit Tao He and his comrades, in order to sacrifice the souls of the deceased in heaven."

The Wuwei Taoist on the side also continued: "When the time comes, the old Taoist will also summon the profound Buddhism and Daomen masters in Shuzhong to do a great Dharma ceremony, and carry out a transcendence for the unjustly killed undead in the Connecticut Mansion, I believe that they will not suffer so much in the next life." ”

Shama Naigu has always respected the Wuwei Taoist, and when he heard the words, he hurriedly bowed to the Wuwei Taoist: "Shama Naigu thanked the Taoist on behalf of the dead Zheng people. ”

Whether it is Taoism or Buddhism, the status in Shu is not low, and it is difficult for ordinary people to meet those high-ranking monks and Taoists, let alone do things, it is not something that can be invited if you have money.

The prestige of Wuwei Dao Chang in the martial arts of Shuzhong Shama Naigu is known, if he can preside over such a grand ceremony, not only the dead will be laid to rest, but the entire Zhen clan will have supreme glory.

Everyone looked at Yang Yi again, waiting for him to continue.

Yang Yi paused, pondered for a moment, looked at Shama Naigu seriously, and asked: "When I entered Shu, I had heard that the leader of Shama Naigu of the Zhen clan was ambitious and extraordinary, I don't know...Great Chief, have you thought about your own future and the future of the entire Zhen clan?" ”

Shama Naigu didn't speak, just stared at Yang Yi with a frown.

Seeing this, Yang Yi continued: "Your Zhen people have lived in the mountains and mountains of Shu since very ancient times, and your ancestors have left your own civilization inheritance for you, but in countless bumpy years, how much blood and sweat you have shed in order to keep this inheritance, I think only you know.

You fight with wild beasts, you fight with people, you fight with the sky, your efforts are limitless, but even so, how many times have you almost disappeared into the long stream of history? Your stubborn will still cannot hide the great disadvantage of your region and your ethnic group, and the slightest carelessness will lead to a catastrophe. ”
