Anyone with a lot of wealth will try their best to convert their food, property, and materials into slaves and children.
Rather than houses, food, and land.
Because those things can be taken away by the devil at any time.
The house may be changed overnight, and the opponent's name may be 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.
However, dead soldiers and slaves are controllable by humans.
The devil cannot take it directly, but the master of a person can force slaves and dead soldiers to sell their souls.
Therefore, this abnormal model has allowed the wealth in this world to flow rapidly.
Even the top wealth owners cannot have fixed wealth.
Instead, it has 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 devils and contracts, a poor man can sell his soul to take away all the food produced on the landlord's land.
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 own the land.
Of course, according to Wen Rensheng, there are still many loopholes in this.
But since this world can function, there must be loopholes that have been fixed in some places.
And the most interesting thing about this world is that people's power comes from getting enough souls that are loyal to you.
A soul that is truly loyal to you.
So those leaders are all charming 99 existences.
A leader who is not charismatic enough, a leader who is cruel and harsh, can easily be betrayed by his relatives.
Because many people will consume their souls and let the devil carry his wealth.
A pauper will soon be betrayed by his family, and 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.
All in all, 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."
Then they began to study the contracts carefully.
First they start going 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.
They were taught by 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 an immortal?"
The old man looked at everyone.
Wen Rensheng understood that in the eyes of these world lords, 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 a contract.”
After saying this, the old man continued: "Just now I was just talking on the stage, now I am talking about something real."
"The more sincere you are, the easier it is to sign a contract. That's because you are sincere, which means you are easy to deceive..."
"So we have to read the contract carefully."
"I'm telling you in advance, even if you don't practice immortality, don't sign the contract rashly."
"If you don't cultivate immortality, you can live to be 80 years old. You can sign a contract with an immortal at will. Today you will get started in cultivation, and tomorrow the whole village will have a feast."
“Confirm your understanding before signing the contract.”
"You can't just sign it 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 heard of it more or less.
Then the old man began to teach with examples.
"For example, in ancient times, a scholar and an immortal signed a contract."
"He wants 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 person agreed rashly."
"However, he knew nothing about the contract, so he did not specify in the contract when to take away the soul."
"So one moment he had the power of an immortal, and then the next moment his soul was taken away and he 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.
Even the machine cannot be moved...
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! There are a lot of pitfalls.
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 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 present one by one."
"And there are additional stipulations, so there can't be any hidden meaning. 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 he was willing to sell half of his soul for this."
"He originally stipulated that half of his soul would be sold only after death."
"However, the paper he used was paper provided by the immortal."
"The paper provided by the immortal has an interlayer inside, which directly states that the above statements are all false. The real contract is to immediately dedicate your soul to the immortal."
"So the scholar died immediately after signing the contract..."
Everyone was dumbfounded and cursed the immortal.
Where is this immortal?
This is obviously a scam.
"This is the mistake made by these people who did not understand the immortals, did not understand the contract, and were ignorant and naive in the early years."
"Everything we learn now is a lesson learned in blood and tears."
When Wen Rensheng saw this, he sighed slightly.
Isn't this a typical scam?
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 official list of immortals released by the school."
"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."
"Now, fortunately, we have set up a set of contract templates and immortality templates for everyone."
"Everyone will follow this template when signing contracts with Immortals in the future."
"This template can avoid 99% of the traps, and at least allows you to practice safely."
"At least I guarantee that as long as you don't do it yourself, your lifespan will be longer than before you practice."
"It won't lead to wasted practice."
Wen Rensheng nodded.
Everyone also said yes.
But some people disagree.
Wen Rensheng did not comment on this.
Let those people regard it as the price of collective exploration of the future field...
Someone has to be different, otherwise the adaptability of the group will be too poor.
"By the way, even templates have various common errors."
"Sometimes I am very careful, but I can't tell if I made a mistake at the time. It's like it's hard to get full marks in an exam. Although I can do all the questions, I just 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 practice immortality, otherwise you are not far away from being deceived."
"For example, this template first states that in order for the contract to be effective, it must be ensured that all the contents are understood by the person."
"If there is something I don't understand, then the contract will not be effective at all."
"This ensures your voluntariness."
"Remember, only willing souls can be taken away by immortals."
"If you are not willing, your soul will have a lot of impurities, but if you sign a contract, your voluntary status 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.
From Wen Rensheng's point of view, everyone understood it.
Immortals have many tricks.
Immortals may not necessarily be immortals.
It's just 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 own advantageous position.
How to fool an immortal.
Yes, even immortals can be fooled.
The reason is that the immortals want the souls of mortals, which is greed.
Greedy creatures, no matter how intelligent they are, will always have a chance of being deceived.
If you are greedy, others will be able to trick you in circles.
This is how things all start.
The two compete with each other.
Immortals try their best to seduce mortals.
I want to harvest high-quality souls.
But 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.
Get your investment back sooner.
On the contrary, if this person is very talented, the immortal will try his best to give them all kinds of training.
When a person with a contract comes from the human world, he must first suffer in his mind and starve his body and skin...
This will temper their souls.
This reminded Wen Rensheng of Journey to the West.
The 81 Difficulties are the best training for Tang Seng, which is the training of the soul.
In the end, Tang Monk really became a Buddha after seeing his true nature and shed his skin.
Abandoned myself.
There is no sign of self, no sign of no one, and no sign of life.
If a person has even lost himself, what else can’t be lost?
In fact, in Wen Rensheng's opinion, that is actually the best refining method.
It's just that the immortals in this world 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 aura.
For example, spiritual energy is transformed from the person's soul after death.
If they are cunning, they should design it so that humans can finally cultivate themselves into spiritual energy.
For example, give up the self 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 basis 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 shy about 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 their strength.
The technology they provide basically means that the weather will be smooth, you will be fed and clothed, and there will be enough food for everyone.
In this case, if someone is unlucky and wants to survive starvation, he will need a devil to carry the food.
If the devil wants to move food, he must have food to move.
But if you want to live forever and live a better life, that's impossible.
It is impossible to live in modern society.
At most, it allows people to live a life like the prosperous times of ancient times.
Let the other person wear clothes, and you can eat meat during the holidays.
I can usually drink two ounces of wine.
All in all, life was almost the same as in the heyday of the Tang Dynasty.
Intentionally or unintentionally, these immortals come up with all kinds of tricks to make those adults who do not practice and are unwilling to endure hardship die early...
Such as creating various accidents.
Therefore, people who go smoothly and want to lie down often find that they fall asleep one night.
But those people who are lonely stars in the sky and have a difficult life live longer.
