Demon Lord 3

Chapter 227 The Rich and the Poor

The ghost knew that he was slowly dissipating, and he couldn't help but smile and asked me if I wanted to hear a story. I nodded and said, "Of course I can, but I can't save you in this situation. You did a lot of evil things in your life, and you have been a ghost for so many years after you died. It is said that you have killed the ghost soldiers in the underworld. With these few sins, how much suffering will you have to endure in the underworld? You may even be beaten to death and never be reborn. The key point is that I can see that you really don't have much time left. I know you already knew this before you were beaten. Now you hope that someone can send you away, right?" The ghost also smiled in agreement and said, "In a certain time and environment, I can never jump out. In fact, my life was so good when I was alive and as a ghost. It's like being forever without reincarnation, living in a cycle of pain. Do you know what the consequences of being torn apart are? You'll never find a safe place in this world, and your soul will cease to exist. But have you ever thought about where your soul will go? If it goes somewhere else, doesn't that prove it's still alive? But if it dissipates from this world, does that prove it's always here, wandering around? So no matter what I choose, the outcome will be the same. It's just that I can rest, no one can bully or harm me, and I can hide somewhere no one can find me. That's the life I want to live, not the miserable existence I'm living right now."

Ghosts all have a common problem, that is, they probably don’t remember what they just said. He said he would tell me a story, but he hasn’t told me yet. Sometimes after being subdued, his thinking ability will drop significantly. I also reminded him: "You don’t have much time, why not tell a story!" He smiled and nodded and said: "Yes, yes, how could I forget this? I will tell you if you want to hear it." This story began more than 300 years ago. At that time, the overall situation was in dire straits, especially the local people. If you don’t have money in the local area, it will be really difficult. The royal family will bully the dignitaries, the dignitaries will bully the wealthy businessmen, the wealthy businessmen will bully ordinary businessmen, and those ordinary businessmen are malicious. They sell the bad things of the common people, or the worthless things, especially those circulated in the palace. No matter how bad they are, they will be sold at a very high price, so that the people below can only admire them. He is very unlucky to be in this position. When he was young, his family wanted to let him enter the palace, but there was nothing good in the palace at that time. What can he do after entering? He can only be a eunuch. He is not qualified to be a guard. To be a well-known guard, one needs a family as a backing. For example, the younger brother of Empress Fucha during the Qianlong period was a guard, but he was also a top figure. For a poor person, if he does not have a prominent family background and his ability is not outstanding enough, it is really difficult for him to run for election and then get in touch with the emperor.

God rewarded those who worked hard, and he finally found an opportunity. He could become a believer, so that he could easily convince the emperor of his religion and then make him think it was a blessing. But how could it be so simple? He was arrested, taught a lesson, and sent back before he even saw the emperor. Even after being beaten back to his original state, he did not give up, but felt the need to resist. However, at this age, his family had arranged a marriage for him, and at that time, they also chose people of equal status. The person he found did not help him in his career. He lived in this muddle for several years, without any opportunities. He gradually grew older and became less impetuous, but he was never given a position. This made him feel that ordinary people had no chance of survival. That year, there was a severe drought, and most nearby villages had not harvested much food. Their remote area did not provide any relief food, so they just waited day by day. The landlords who had grain sold it at exorbitant prices, which they could not afford. The price of salt also rose, and those who tried to take advantage of the situation also wanted to make money from them, but what money did they have? But there was still that property, and those who sold grain also thought that these were okay, so they made the property and the title deed into common currency. Suddenly everyone changed their minds, the poor became poorer, and the rich became richer, but this did not last long.
