Chapter 2501 Immortal's Contract
Anyone with a lot of wealth will try their best to convert their food, property, and materials into slaves and children.
Instead of houses, food, land.
Because those things can be taken away by the devil at any time.
A house may become available overnight, with the opponent's name written on the deed.
Then his opponent takes it and gives him a hard time.
And only those family members, slaves, and dead soldiers who can be controlled are the most precious wealth.
As long as you have a large number of controllable souls, you can get everything.
This is the real hard currency in this world.
Only the soul is something that the devil cannot just take.
Human consent is required.
The dead soldiers and slaves are controllable by humans.
The devil cannot take it directly, but the master of a person can drive slaves and dead soldiers to sell their souls.
So, this abnormal model makes the wealth in this world flow rapidly.
Even the top wealth owners cannot have fixed wealth.
Instead, there are a large number of people, especially dead soldiers.
The slave is also very likely to refuse the master's soul exchange.
The cost of training dead soldiers is very high.
It is not easy to train a person to be a dead soldier.
If it were really easy, there wouldn’t be so many betrayers in ancient times, and the ancient feudal army wouldn’t mutiny and betray easily.
Therefore, Wen Rensheng couldn't help but smile when he saw this.
In this world, the problems of land annexation and wealth accumulation have been cleverly solved through this method.
Land annexation does not exist here.
Why did ancient rich people annex land?
The reason is that they can possess more wealth through land.
Land was the most stable way of accumulating wealth in ancient society.
You can gain wealth every year.
However, here, because of the existence of the devil and contracts, a poor man can sell his soul to take away all the food produced on the land of the landlord.
In this case, occupying land is a thankless task.
However, another problem arises.
Does that mean there will be no more people farming?
After all, you can sell your soul in exchange for food.
It caused a lot of confusion at first.
Until the devil begins to be restricted by world consciousness, everyone has a fixed harvest of ten acres of land, which cannot be taken away by the devil.
This prevents no one from producing food.
Of course no one wants to produce too much.
So it doesn’t make much sense for you to occupy the land.
Of course, in Wen Rensheng's opinion, there are naturally many loopholes in it.
But since this world can function, loopholes must have been filled in some places.
The most interesting thing about this world is that people’s power comes from obtaining enough souls that are loyal to you.
A soul that is truly loyal to you.
So those leaders all have charm 99.
Leaders who are not charming enough, who are cruel and harsh, can easily be betrayed by their relatives.
Because many people will consume their souls to let the devil carry his wealth.
A pauper will soon betray his family and leave his family. He will not be able to keep his wife and children, let alone his subordinates?
And a leader who is charismatic enough can even make his subordinates willing to sacrifice their souls to the devil.
If you lack something, you can force the souls of your men to make a promise to the devil and let the devil bring it.
So the soul is the currency in this world.
In short, all the consultants, including Wen Rensheng, were eye-opening.
I have to say that this world is indeed strange.
After reading it, Wen Rensheng nodded, and then said to everyone: "Okay, everyone has read it."
"Now we can learn these things carefully."
Then they started studying the contracts in detail.
First they started to go to school well.
School is always one of the easiest places to learn new knowledge.
Wen Rensheng also entered a school.
The teacher is very responsible.
The person who taught them was an old man.
The old man began to tell them the things to note when signing a contract with the devil.
Of course, all the devils are called immortals in the old man's mouth.
"How to sign a contract with the immortal?"
The old man looked at everyone.
Wen Rensheng understood that in the eyes of the masters of the world, they were devils.
But in the eyes of these ordinary people, the devil is a fairy.
“If you want to sign a contract with an immortal, you must first be sincere and spiritual.”
"The more sincere you are, the easier it is to sign the contract."
After saying this, the old man continued: "Just now I was just talking about the stage, now I am talking about something real."
"The more sincere I am, the easier it is to sign the contract."
The easier it is to sign a contract with sincerity, that’s because you are sincere, which means you are easy to cheat..."
"So we have to read the contract carefully."
"Let me tell you in advance. Even if you are not a cultivator, don’t sign the contract hastily.”
"You can live to be 80 years old without cultivating immortals. You can sign a contract with an immortal at will. Today you will get started in cultivating immortals, and tomorrow the whole village will have a feast."
"Sign the contract after you are sure you understand."
"You can't sign casually."
The old man said patiently.
Below, a group of young people in their twenties, about the same age as Wen Rensheng, were all attentive.
There is no arguing.
Because they have all heard of it more or less.
Then the old man began to give examples.
“For example, in ancient times, a scholar signed a contract with an immortal.”
“He wanted the immortal to give him strength.”
"And the immortal said that he could give him power, but then he would take away his soul."
"This man agreed hastily."
"However, he knew nothing about the contract. He knew it, so there was no stipulation in the contract when the soul would be taken away."
"So he had the power of an immortal in one moment, and then his soul was taken away and died."
“This is the most typical negative example of not understanding the contract and signing the contract at will.”
Wen Rensheng nodded.
When doing business in the early years, many people made the same mistake when signing contracts with foreigners.
I didn’t notice the trap in the contract at all, so I bought someone else’s equipment, only to find that I had to continue to buy parts, and the maintenance could only be done by the original factory.
Not even the machine can be moved...
A pile of pits.
There are pits within pits.
If you buy someone else’s equipment, you have to support someone else’s factory for a lifetime.
Unless you eliminate the equipment and production lines.
The old man added: "For us beginners, a basic contract must specify the time, place, people, and the specific scope of effect..."
"These things must be consistent ”
"And there are additional provisions, so there can be no hidden meanings. If I can't see the terms, they won't take effect."
"For example, there is another scholar whose contracts are well written."
“He asked the immortal to help him cultivate the golden elixir within 10 years, and for this he was willing to sell half of his soul.”
“He originally stipulated that half of his soul would be sold only after death.”
< br>“However, the paper he used was the paper provided by the immortal.”
"The paper provided by the immortal had a sandwich inside, which directly stated that the above statements were all false. The real contract was to dedicate his soul to the immortal immediately."
"So the scholar immediately signed the contract and I just died..."
Everyone was dumbfounded and cursed the immortal.
Where is this immortal?
This is obviously a scam.
"This is the mistake made by those who didn't understand the immortals, didn't understand the contract, and were ignorant and naive in the early years." "Everything we learn now is a lesson of blood and tears."
< br>
When Wen Rensheng saw this, he sighed slightly.
Isn’t this a typical trick of being deceived?
It can be said that these devils really combine all kinds of scams into one.
The old man continued: "In the contract, the immortals will also set code words, palindromes, and hidden prefixes."
"So, you must sign with the regular immortal list released by the school."
< br>"Don't communicate with immortals casually, and don't believe in any otherworldly immortals or wild immortals."
"Nine out of ten are liars, and one is a lunatic."
"Fortunately, we have now set up a set of contract templates for everyone, the cultivation template."
"Everyone should follow this template when signing contracts with immortals in the future."
"This template can avoid 99% of the traps. At least it will allow you to practice safely."
"At least it will ensure that you As long as you don’t do it, your life span will be longer than before.”
“It won’t lead to wasted cultivation.”
Wen Rensheng nodded.
Everyone also said yes.
But some people disagree.
Wen Rensheng did not comment on this.
Those people should be regarded as the price of collective exploration of the future field...
There must be someone who is different, otherwise the adaptability of the group will be too poor.
"By the way, even the templates have various common mistakes."
"Sometimes I am very careful, but I just can't tell if I make a mistake at the time, just like it is difficult to get full marks in an exam, although the questions You can do it all, but you can't get full marks."
"First of all, you can't write randomly, and secondly, you have to rely on others to check it several times."
"If the immortal is impatient with you, then. Just give up on that immortal."
"Don't feel inferior and try to become an immortal, then you are not far away from being deceived."
"For example, this template first states that in order for the contract to be effective, I must ensure that all the contents are understood by me."
"If there are contents that I do not understand, then the contract will not be effective at all. ."
"This can guarantee your voluntariness."
"Remember, only willing souls can be taken away by the immortal."
"You can't. If you are willing, there will be many impurities in your soul, but if you sign a contract, your voluntary state will be fixed in the contract, and you can no longer go back on it.”
When the old man said this, everyone took a deep breath.
They immediately understood how deep the water was.
In Wen Rensheng’s view, everyone understood it.
Immortals have many tricks.
A fairy may not be a fairy.
Nothing but respect for their strength.
Then they began to carefully study the various types of contracts between these immortals and mortals.
And how to sign a contract.
How to strive for your advantageous position.
How to fool an immortal.
Yes, even immortals can be fooled.
The reason is that the immortals want the souls of mortals. This is greed.
No matter how smart a greedy creature is, there is a chance of being deceived.
If you are greedy, others will be able to trick you in circles.
That’s how it all starts.
The two compete against each other.
The immortals try their best to seduce mortals.
Want to harvest high-quality souls.
Mortals want to enjoy more the power of immortals, and want to spend the minimum price to obtain the power of immortals.
Want to enjoy longer and pay less.
In short, the two are fighting with each other, competing with each other, and scheming with each other.
This is a world of gambling.
Who loses and who wins depends on the outcome of each other's competition.
Some immortals have made a lot of money.
Some mortals have made a lot of money.
In Wen Rensheng's opinion, many of the Immortal's tricks are the same as business investments.
If he finds that the contractor is a waste, he will tend to let this person die as soon as possible to save investment and stop losses in time.
Let the other person’s soul become their food as soon as possible.
Recover your investment early.
On the contrary, if this person is very talented, the immortal will try his best to give them all kinds of training.
When those who have a contract come from the human world, they must first torture their minds and starve their bodies...
This is how to temper their souls.
This made Wen Rensheng think of Journey to the West.
The best test for Tang Seng in the 81 Difficulties is the test of his soul.
In the end, Tang Monk really became a Buddha after seeing his nature, and shed his skin.
Abandoned myself.
No self, no one, no life.
People have even lost themselves, what else can’t be lost?
In fact, in Wen Rensheng's opinion, that is actually the best refining method.
It’s just the immortals in this world who haven’t learned this skill yet.
The immortals in this world are relatively simple...
To say they are simple means that they also choose to work by themselves to condense their spiritual energy.
For example, spiritual energy is transformed from the soul of the person after death.
If they are cunning, they should design it so that humans can finally cultivate themselves into spiritual energy.
For example, give up yourself and enter the state of selflessness.
The soul loses its core and transforms into aura.
From this we can see the simplicity of these immortals and the importance of ordinary people in this world.
These ordinary people are the foundation of the power of the entire world.
Therefore they had no shortage of food to eat.
Because anyone can have enough food and clothing.
As long as he is willing to sell his soul, the food and clothes he can obtain will be enough for him in his lifetime.
The problem is that human greed is infinite.
After having enough food and clothing, you want to be rich. After being rich, you want to be beautiful. After being beautiful, you want to live forever.
After all, these devils are not stingy in spreading various technologies to people in order to obtain more souls.
Of course, these devils will not provide too advanced technology.
Lest these mortals end up being able to eat without needing their strength.
The technology they provide basically means that the weather will be smooth, you can be fed and clothed, and there will be enough food for everyone.
In this case, if someone is unlucky, in order to survive starvation, the devil will be needed to carry the food.
If the devil wants to carry food, he must have food to carry.
But if you want to live forever, if you want to live a better life, that is impossible.
It is impossible to live in modern society.
At most, people can have a life like the prosperous times of ancient times.
Let the other person wear clothes so that you can eat meat during the holidays.
I can usually drink two ounces of wine.
In short, the life is similar to that of the Tang Dynasty.
Intentionally or unintentionally, these immortals come up with all kinds of tricks to make those adults who don't practice and don't want to be tempered die early...
For example, they create all kinds of accidents.
So people who want to lie flat when the wind is going smoothly will often find that they fall asleep one night.
And those who live a difficult life as a lone star in the sky live longer.
This is all the devil's arrangement.
