Chapter 160: Joining the Clan

Soon after daybreak, the young man of the tribe brought some food, and after the four of them had finished eating, they went to see the patriarch again.

Soon, the four were taken to the patriarch's quarters, in the northwestern corner of the oasis.

Along the way, there were many people watching, all women and children, and there were not many adult men, all looking at the four of them, as if they were in a zoo, and they couldn't understand what they were saying.

Ye Xing was like a natural star, smiling and waving, and the three of them also followed Ye Xing's example, waving their hands, but their movements were a bit contrived, far less comfortable than Ye Xing.

The women and children who were watching had never seen such friendly movements, and they were all laughing excitedly, either speaking loudly, or in Song language, or with a weird accent.

Ye Xing later deliberately grimaced at the children who followed behind, which attracted the children's amazement!

The two girls looked at Ye Xing's appearance, and they didn't feel infatuated, Ye Xing had that natural attraction, and he was extremely outstanding wherever he went.

Along the way, Ye Xing unfolded his divine sense and found that this oasis is really big, with a radius of hundreds of miles, and the population is more than imagined, there are still quite a lot of livestock here, as well as farmland, of course, it is not cultivated now, and there are relatively high mountains around, which can block strong winds.

Everyone is a cultivator, and so are children, their aura is extremely special, not just practicing martial arts at all, but also mixing various skills, judging from their hands and feet and temperament, their cultivation methods are very unique.

The four of them were taken to the house where the patriarch lived, which was also the same mud house, the same small courtyard, and it was also located in a forest of many trees, all of which were sand-fruit trees endemic to the desert.

The old patriarch asked the four of them to sit down at a large table in the courtyard, and then asked someone to bring some fruits, and a few old people sat around, and then asked the many onlookers to leave.

The old patriarch said in the official language of the Song Kingdom, "I am the patriarch of this tribe, you are from the Song Kingdom, how did you come here?" ”

Ye Xing said the proposed words in detail, and said that he hoped to give a guide to let the four of them return to the Song Kingdom.

The old patriarch said, "You came here by chance, and you should be our guests. But this is a place of seclusion for generations, and we don't want outsiders to know where we are! Moreover, we still have enemies who have been inquiring about our location. So...."

He stopped talking suddenly, as if thinking about how to continue, but his face did not fluctuate.

Ye Xing looked at him and said, "Patriarch, we came here by accident, and we don't know the location of this place, we didn't think about revealing your hermitage at all, and we can't leak it, I don't know where it is."

The old patriarch said coldly, "Young man, I fully believe that you came here by accident!" But our clan rules can't let outsiders know where we are, but what do you say? ”

Knowing that the other party must have something to say, Ye Xing lowered his head and remained silent.

The old patriarch stared at the four of them with a pair of dizzy eyes, and there was a faint coercion in his eyes, quietly pressing on the four of them.

The four of them immediately felt the pressure, and they all showed extremely frightened looks, of course, Ye Xing and Qi Ming estimated it, and the two women were really a little afraid.

After looking at it for a while, the old man said again, "As long as you are willing to stay and become our clansmen, then everything will not be a problem!" ”

Ye Xing didn't refuse immediately, but said hesitantly, "Then what about my family in Song Kingdom?" What about elderly parents at home? ”

The old patriarch said, "If you become our person, of course, you can go back to the Song Kingdom to visit your family, but you must be loyal to our tribe forever and serve the tribe." ”

Ye Xing looked surprised and said, "If I return to the Song Kingdom, how can I serve the clan?" ”

The old patriarch sneered, "Then you have to become our person before I can tell you!" ”

Ye Xing said in embarrassment, "Do we have any other choice?" ”

The old patriarch said categorically, "No! Our clan rules stipulate that no one who is not ours can leave this place alive! ”

Ye Xingwei was puzzled, "How long does it take to return home after joining the clan?" I can't stay here for ten or eight years, so what about my Song family? ”

The old patriarch smiled, "We are not so cold-blooded, but you will stay here for three years, and after the examination is satisfied, we will send you back to the Song Kingdom, and from now on, it will be the personnel of our clan in the Song Kingdom, and we will be responsible for some of our affairs in the Song Kingdom." ”

Ye Xing said, "So, there are still a lot of your clansmen in the Song Kingdom?" ”

The old patriarch nodded, "Yes! But their identities don't know to outsiders! ”

Ye Xing asked again, "How can I be satisfied with the assessment?" Isn't it going to be hard? ”

The old patriarch said, "It's very simple, we will look at your character first, and then look at your ability", and took out a medicine bottle as he spoke, "I can see that you are martial arts practitioners." This is the elixir, and after you take it, your cultivation will improve by leaps and bounds. Within three years, we will assign you multiple tasks, and if you can complete them well, then you will be recognized! ”

Ye Xing and the four of them were speechless, staring at the old patriarch to see what else the old man would say.

The old patriarch's face was calm, and he continued, "We will give you excellent treatment, which can ensure that you enjoy prosperity in the Song Kingdom, and you only need to continue to help us do things in the future." ”

Ye Xing understood that this was to make them puppets of their clan, to do things for their unknown purposes.

Ye Xing thought for a while and said, "There are only hundreds of people in your clan, and you live in seclusion here, what do you need us to do?" ”

The old patriarch smiled, "You are wrong, there are thousands of people in our clan, in fact, most of them live in the Song Kingdom and the Tang Dynasty, and this is just one of our hermitages. Those young people will eventually go out too. We old men have just come back here to look after the hermitage of generations. ”

Ye Xing said, "Then we have to join the clan before we can leave?" ”

The old patriarch laughed, "Of course! You will never regret joining us, as long as it is our people, the clan will give the greatest help, so that you and your family can enjoy the benefits! ”

Ye Xing said, "Can I know what the benefits are now?" ”

The patriarch said, "Yes! 1. The cultivation techniques that have been handed down here can greatly increase your cultivation; 2. After returning to the Song Kingdom, we will give you and your family enough gold and silver to live a life of prosperity; 3. Your family is under the permanent protection of our clan. ”

Ye Xing said, "I don't know what we need to do?" It's too hard, we can't do it! ”

The old patriarch smiled and said, "Just follow the instructions of the tribe forever and do things for the tribe!" We won't make it difficult for you, we'll just let you do what you can, and to be honest, all you can do is just the easy thing! ”

Ye Xing hesitated, sighed, spread his hands, and said, "We don't have a choice!" I had to join! ”

The old patriarch laughed and said, "You will never regret your choice today!" ”

The bottle of elixir that had been playing with for a long time in his hand was handed over, "This elixir, you take it now, tomorrow, I will give you the best exercises, so that your cultivation will improve by leaps and bounds, you will start to do the task after a year, and you can return to your hometown after three years." ”

Ye Xing hesitated to take the pill and muttered, "Is it poisonous?!" Patriarch, we are our own people now, you can't poison us! ”

The old patriarch laughed again, "Absolutely not! You can let one person take it first, and you will find that your internal strength will grow very quickly, and after a few years, you will have the foundation to become a master, and you can cultivate more diligently in the future! ”

Ye Xing thought for a while and said, "Okay, I'll take it first, and if it works, they will take it again." After speaking, he opened the cap of the bottle and poured out a pill, and sure enough, the elixir was full of aura, and he looked at it carefully for a while, and then put it in his mouth with a ruthless heart, and swallowed it with saliva.

The patriarch looked at it with a smile and didn't speak, but what he didn't know was that the moment Ye Xing put it in his mouth, the pill had already entered the space ring.

Ye Xing is back to the patriarch, this small action, the patriarch can't see it at all, even if he looks at it head-on, the patriarch can't see it, the pill is put into the space ring.

Ye Xing said deliberately, "I don't feel anything?!" He also chirped his mouth a few times, indicating that there was no taste.

Then he poured out a grain, made Qin Xinyue open his mouth, put it in his mouth, and put it into the space ring in an instant, this series of movements were blocked by Ye Xing's body, and the patriarch had no way of discovering it.

Qin Xinyue pretended to be difficult to swallow, swallowed, and coughed a few times.

Then Qin Jingxuan and Qi Ming both operated the same way, and after a while, the three of them all waved their hands with blank faces, indicating that they had no reaction.

The old patriarch smiled and said, "Very good! Now that we are our own people, this elixir will slowly take effect in the future, and your cultivation will become faster and faster. ”

The four of them nodded, "Yes!" Thank you, Patriarch! We will try our best to get home sooner! ”
