In the world, everyone owes debts, but some people owe less debts, some people owe more debts, some people owe money, and some people owe favor debts.

Under the supervision of Taoist Tanyou, we followed Brother Zhenmin to Yehugou overnight. Unexpectedly, we met a creditor on the top of Gushepo Mountain. Brother Zhenmin had to pay the debt for twenty years. Xiaoma held his breath and didn't know what debt he wanted to pay?

The black-faced tent read: "Ma Jianmin borrowed half a pound of gold bars and promised to repay his soul and his son's half life happiness. Now he has a total of one and a half lives, including interest and capital!"

Zhi Shipeng looked at Xiaoma, and he was shocked. Unexpectedly, his father had only borrowed half a pound of gold bars from the tomb owner, but now he needed to take a half-life. He hurriedly looked at Taoist Tanyou to ask for his opinion.

Taoist Tanyou ignored it, and Zhi Shipeng asked: "Ma Chenguang, will the debt owed by your father be returned now?"

Lao Ma was in a car accident and only half of his life was left. If he wanted to repay the debt, he was afraid that Xiao Ma's life would be taken.

The old Taoist priest asked calmly: "These young people are still young, please let them think about it first!"

This red curly haired servant is actually the Ghost Emperor? What is the title of Ghost Emperor?

I had to worry about my fate, and the old Taoist priest continued to ask for instructions: "Your Highness of the Ghost Emperor, let's talk about the debts that Xue Changqing owes?"

The servant looked at me and signaled to the account room to read out the debts that my grandfather had borrowed.

"Xue Changqing, in Gengshen, led his people into the tomb of His Highness Ghost Emperor. He wanted to steal treasures, but was trapped by the authorities, so he left money and wanted to return empty-handed. He had to meet His Highness, so he asked His Highness to borrow three generations of powerful people to repay the lives of his children and their children with their lives, and the interest was paid for the lives of their children!"

I was surprised after hearing this. Although I didn’t understand classical Chinese very much, I still understood the meaning of the account room.

For the sake of the powerful and powerful generations of the three generations, my grandfather would rather give up his life with a child, but the interest is at the cost of the life of a child.

I am not familiar with my grandfather, but my uncles and aunts are all familiar with me, as well as my third generation descendants. Except for the son who died young, the rest are all intact and live a good life.

The accountant continued to read: "As Xue Changsong's grandson, do you want to pay off your grandfather's debt?"

I dared to ask: "How can I pay it back?"

The old Taoist priest wanted to stop it, but the debt I owed should be the lightest and not be afraid of.

Zhi Shipeng responded: "Your grandfather has paid back half of the principal and all the interest, and only half of the principal is left. You should claim one of his six children, but if you want to pay it back, you can get a discount."

I didn't expect that I could even pay off my debts, so I didn't need to pay my life. I hurriedly asked, "How much should I pay?"

The account read out: "You only need to pay back the debt of twenty years. Should you repay it now, or for the last twenty years of your life?"

I understand the latter way of repayment is to reduce my life for twenty years to repay my grandfather’s debts, but how can I pay them back now?

Zhi Shipeng explained: "If you want to repay it now, then you have to stay here to do twenty years of hard work for me, and then return to the sun to continue your life!"

The woman in red next to the accountant looked at me and showed admiration.

This is a bit incredible, but the other party's requirements are not high. I was about to agree to repay the last twenty years of my life, the old Taoist priest said, "Thank you for your kindness, let them think about it, we will reply to Your Highness soon!"

Zhi Shishi agreed, and the old Taoist priest immediately signaled us to leave the hall first, and then in the temple, and began to discuss. Xiaoma immediately asked: "Master, what should I do? I don't want to stay here!"

The old Taoist priest hurriedly signaled to him and Brother Zhenmin asked in a low voice: "Can we repay it in another way? Isn't this obviously going to make us live longer?"

At that time, my grandfather and the father of these two companions used their lives as collateral to exchange for wealth and power for their children and grandchildren. In an era when human lives were cheaper than grass, some people even wanted it. But now, who is willing to give up a good life? Is the money we earned in twenty years not enough to be worth eight taels of gold?

According to the price of gold at the end of 1980, 1 ounce costs 2,300 yuan, which is equivalent to one ounce of the old days. A pound is sixteen ounces. Twenty years ago, in 1980, what my grandfather and the others used were still the old weights and measures. 1 ounce is converted to 31.103,481 grams now. Eight ounces are 18,400 yuan, which is a huge sum. According to the grandfather’s one dollar a day in Xichui Commune, which is 30 yuan a month. The workload of a year is only 360 yuan, which is not enough to require my grandfather to work for half a century.

If my monthly salary is 2,000 yuan, and the gold price is 100 yuan per gram now (in 2000). One tael is equal to 30.125 grams, I am still using the old weight and measure here. I am afraid that this Ghost King has always calculated the calculations according to his weight and measure. Eight taels are equal to 3012.5*8 and 24,100 grams, and then multiplied by 100 yuan, equal to 24,100 yuan, divided by 2,000 yuan, I can only earn back in more than a year. If it were Xiaoma and Zhenmin, their sports car, their monthly income would be higher, and they would not be able to earn half a kilogram of gold in a year.

I was quickly calculating in my mind that Xiaoma and Zhenmin were not idle either. In short, we came to a conclusion that it was not cost-effective to pay 8 taels of gold in twenty years, not including a life that had been paid.

The three of us looked at the old Taoist priest together and asked for his advice.

The old guy responded calmly: "When you see the Ghost King later, don't talk much, listen to my arrangement!"

"Ghost King?" Brother Zhenmin asked.

The old Taoist priest explained: "The creditor inside is guarding the gate with the City God, and is equipped with a tent and a female ghost clerk. It shows that his position in the underworld is not low. Just now, I heard the female ghost clerk call him the Ghost Emperor. This Ghost Emperor has a higher status than the Ghost King, and is appointed by the ghost of the person who killed a very serious crime during his lifetime. This branch's servant must be Wang Shichong, the King of Zheng at the end of the Sui Dynasty. His surname was Zhi, a Hu native of the Western Regions. His red curly hair was the most obvious sign of Wang Shichong."

Xiaoma didn't understand history and said, "Master, what should we do if you think we should do? We all listen to you!"

Brother Zhenmin is limited to history and TV series and movies, but I still know something about Wang Shichong. This person is extremely fierce and vicious. He once ordered his soldiers to massacre the city and use the meat of the people as military rations.

The old Taoist priest held his breath and signaled that we should not speak. He whispered himself: "We protested that the other party asked for too high prices, and unanimously asked the other party to give a discount, and it is best to repay it in gold."

The little horse was about to speak, but the old Taoist priest held down his mouth.

Brother Zhenmin whispered: "But we came in a hurry this time, didn't we bring gold?"

The old Taoist priest untied his black leather coat and showed off his close-fitting leather bag, which was filled with yellow gold bars.

I asked, "What if the other party refuses to agree?"

The old guy hurriedly wrapped his fur coat tightly and whispered: "You must understand that we are the same group. As long as you remain silent, I will bargain with him. In addition, you must have a clear mind. My bottom line is to be worth one pound of gold a year, otherwise I will not be able to repay you even if I lose everything! "
