Ye Xing teaches every morning, goes hunting in the afternoon, and occasionally treats villagers. At the age of nine, he is already an irreplaceable god in the mountain village. His reputation as a genius has spread to many neighboring villages.
At night, he sits quietly and practices. He doesn't know what he practices. He just lets the starlight that enters his body circulate throughout his body over and over again, day after day, year after year. Anyway, this is his instinct.
Because the starlight has never stopped entering his body since he was born, he didn't see any use, but Ye Sheng really didn't get sick, and his brain, hands and feet reacted very quickly.
In fact, Ye Xing didn't know what cultivation was at all, and no one in the village could tell him. He just relied on his feelings and sat quietly like this for ten years, and then slept when he was tired. This way he would be very energetic during the day. .
When he was ten years old, Ye Xing wanted to leave the small mountain village and see the outside world. However, looking at his elderly father and his young but mentally disturbed mother made him very embarrassed. As the only child in the family, The child is so young that it is impossible for him to go to the outside world now.
Ye Xing has been out in the mountains a few times. He followed the villagers to Yunshan Town. It was very far and it took him two full days to get there. He passed many mountain villages along the way.
Ye Xing observed that all the people here were short, few were handsome, and their clothes were all rough and linen. The women were actually very strong, because women held up half of the sky. The women here also participated in all farm work, hunting, and hunting. fish.
Ye Xing sold a large load of the best furs and herbs he had collected from hunting. He made a little money, a full thirteen taels of silver, which was equivalent to the villagers' income for half a year. .
Ye Xing bought some things for his parents and several books for himself, mainly some local chronicles, geography, and medical books. They were all popular products. They were not high-quality products, but just introductory.
The book is actually made of paper, but it is very rough, and the printing is even worse. It can be seen that it was printed with engraving, and many of the handwritings are not legible. It is really poor.
Ye Xing estimated that the civilization of this place is still very backward, which is what the earth calls the middle ages. It can be seen that alien civilization is not necessarily higher than the earth. Facts have shown that the civilization here is far worse than the earth.
After reading these books, Ye Xing realized that the world was very big. He was located in Song State, Donghai County, and Yunshan Town. Yunhai Village, where he was located, was the most remote small seaside village in Yunshan Town. Mountain village.
The Song Dynasty has a radius of tens of thousands of miles and more than thirty counties. Donghai County has only twenty counties with a radius of thousands of miles. The rest are smaller and have a radius of hundreds of miles. Donghai County has hundreds of small towns like Yunshan Town. town.
According to the book, the Song Dynasty is just one of more than ten medium-sized countries in the adjacent area. It is adjacent to five much more powerful empires, each with an area more than ten times that of the Song Dynasty, and there are dozens of small countries. , some small countries are not as big as a Donghai County.
In the Song Dynasty, there were more small principalities that were states within a state, which were small princes who were enfeoffed. Some of the small principalities were headed by princes, but their power was very small, and the area under their jurisdiction was quite small. It might just be the size of a town.
The book says that these are only inhabited places. There are countless remote places where no one lives, and of course they are not included in this map. It is said that the earth is infinite because no one knows where the boundaries are.
The map was too rudimentary and the characters were extremely unclear, but it still gave Ye Xing a general understanding, at least in the area where he lived.
According to the legend in the book, there are countless types of intelligent creatures existing, and humans are just one of the races, and the place they live in is just a small area.
Ye Xing was not surprised, and thought it was not a legend, but a fact, because from the knowledge of the universe he received in his previous life, he fully knew that life existed in countless corners of the universe, and intelligent life must be widely distributed.
And all this is just the southeast corner of the earth. No one knows how big the world is. It is said that the sea is countless times larger than the land, and there is no end at all. There may be a continent on the other side of the sea, but that is just a legend. No one ever really knows.
Ye Xing was surprised. He estimated that the Song Kingdom was slightly larger than his previous homeland, China, so this world might be dozens or hundreds of times larger than the Earth.
According to this calculation, this place must be an extremely vast world and a super large star of life.
Ordinary people can only live to be 70 or 80 years old. It is conceivable that in a lifetime, it may be difficult to experience the world again.
Unless there is an airplane, it is simply impossible. Of course, the technology in this world cannot create such a vehicle, at least not now.
The sky here is extremely blue, the earth is extremely lush, and everything is absolutely lush.
As a hunter, Ye Xing once boldly entered the Ziyun Mountains. It was extremely dense and there were many types of creatures, many of which Ye Xing had never seen before.
For safety reasons, he did not dare to go too deep.
As for the other legendary intelligent races, they are just legends and no one has ever seen them, but there are also many folklores.
There are many things like gods and ghosts, such as someone who enters the forest and reappears decades later, eats fairy fruit, sleeps for hundreds of years, etc.
After carefully reading many legends, Ye Xing found that they were actually no different from those on Earth. Most of them were just old tricks that couldn't be explained and were just blamed on gods and monsters.
And he is a person transformed by quantum intelligence. Of course he is naturally repulsive to so-called gods and monsters, which is not scientific at all.
The Song Dynasty is also a religious country, and all the people believe in the existence of gods. This religion called Tiandaoism believes that all things have animism, and there is a god in charge of every place.
Although the Song Dynasty believed in the same religion, the gods worshiped in each place were different, and there was no unified god. They believed that the gods could only protect people in one place, so it was their tradition to stick to one side.
Every household in Yunhai Village has a portrait of a mermaid, which is the main god in charge of a large area of land and sea, as well as mountain gods, water gods, etc., a multi-god religion.
Ye Xing looked at it and saw that the beauty's body had the tail of a fish, but the limbs were that of a beast. Her right hand pointed forward, and her left hand held a spear-like weapon.
There are countless stars that can be seen in the sky here, and Ye Xing feels that the stars are bigger and brighter than those on the earth. Many stars are actually as bright as the morning star on the earth.
What's even more amazing is that there are 6 moons of different sizes here, so most nights are not very dark. Under the moonlight and starlight, you can vaguely see many things, but you can't see them clearly.
As far as the Song State, where the surname Ye lives, is concerned, it is an extremely conservative country. According to reports, the Song State has existed for thousands of years.
People have been living like this, basically unchanged, and there seems to be no progress. He has always established the Song family as king, and when there is turmoil, he only fights with neighboring countries. He has never changed the king and has always seen him off.
Because there is no innovation and conservatism, everything remains the same, even daily necessities such as clothes, seem to have been like this thousands of years ago.
Men all wear their hair tied up and in long gowns, while women also wear long skirts and buns. Many times it is extremely inconvenient to do things, but no one ever thinks about changing it.
People in the Song Dynasty firmly believe that the laws of their ancestors cannot be changed, and everything is fine and cannot be changed.
Of course, Ye Xing has no intention of changing, because it is not necessary at all. He has never been able to truly integrate into this world:
He always felt that he was an outsider, just a passer-by. He always looked at this land and water indifferently.
Ye Xing felt that this world was obviously comparable to the Middle Ages on earth, at least that was the case in the Song Dynasty. There was no scientific and technological civilization, and there was nothing that he had taken for granted in his previous life.
But he has completely adapted to it. On the contrary, he feels that it is very relaxing and he no longer has to worry about complicated things.
There is a vast and beautiful world and clean air here. Everything that was hoped for, rare, and pursued on the earth before is naturally available here.
Of course, there is birth, aging, sickness and death, there is also suffering, there are also sorrows and joys, and this is the eternal process of life.
Ye Xing also has seven emotions and six desires. After understanding such a vast and boundless world, he finally came back to life, and he had the desire to walk. After all, the joys and sorrows of life and death in Yunhai Village were extremely small in his eyes.
Imagine, dozens of times the size of the earth? ! And it could be hundreds or even thousands of times the size of the Earth, and yet he was only in a small village with a few hundred people. Ye Xing couldn't help but sigh, how vast the world is, and how small people are.
Ye Xing became more and more curious about the world outside the village, and always fantasized about going to see it.
