Chapter 4 The World
Countless memories flashed through Ye Chen's mind.
The boy wore a small red jacket and pigtails, and galloped forward, followed by a large group of maids and servants, who shouted as they trotted
"Little master, slow down, slow down, don't fall"
The boy giggled in front of him, wiped the snot from his face, and ran faster with his feet outstretched......
Memories change again
"Please all the sons and lords, as long as you are willing to bury your father, the little woman is willing to make cattle and horses for her benefactor"
A woman dressed in plain clothes wore a white hood, covered with a white cloth in front of her, and a faded red umbrella next to her, crying in a low voice, with a sign hanging in front of her that read the word "selling".
There was a circle of people around, and a fat man with a fat face shook a paper fan and stepped forward
"The lord doesn't want you to be a cow, the lord wants to ride a horse", with a lewd smile on his face
The girl gritted her teeth, her face was extremely pale, this fat man was a famous pervert in the city, and ordinary women would die tragically within three months if they married.
Some people in the crowd discussed, some sighed, but they were all indifferent, ten taels of silver, not a small amount of money, and they had to risk offending people.
Looking at the girl's grief-stricken appearance, the young man in the crowd suddenly came up with a sense of spirit, separated everyone and strode forward, took out ten taels of silver from his arms, and put it in front of the girl.
"Girl, I'll give you this money for you"
The fat man was originally triumphant, but when the young man came out, he saw bad things, and the fat man looked hideous
"Who's hairy boy, before the hair grows, he wants to buy a wife and concubine, and today the master will teach you a good lesson for your elders", said a fat hand and fanned over.
Suddenly, two strong men jumped out of the crowd, with long knives at their waists, dressed in black suits, and their muscles bulging, like an eagle catching a chicken, and they caught the fat man at once.
The fat man's face turned white with a brush, and when he saw the guard pull out his long knife, he immediately howled miserably
"Young master, the little one has eyes and doesn't know Mount Tai, spare your life"
"Fifty palms" The young man ordered coldly, and the crowd of onlookers applauded when he heard the sound of clapping his palms.
A trace of excitement flashed in the young man's heart, chivalrous and righteous, admired, this experience is quite novel to a young man of this age, the young man suppressed the excitement in his heart, arched his hand to the surroundings, walked to the girl, and took out five taels of silver
"Bury your father and go back to live well"
The girl hurriedly waved her hands, a little at a loss, "No, the little woman received the child's money, which is the child's ......"
The young man frowned slightly, looked at the girl's side, suddenly his eyes lit up, and he picked up the red paper umbrella next to him,
"This money is as if I bought this paper umbrella, it just happened to be raining"
After speaking, without waiting for the girl to react, she walked out of the crowd.
The girl behind her knelt on the ground for a long time, and there was another cheer from the crowd.
..................
The little boy stood in the gray and white rain alley, his green shirt was slightly wet, and he was holding a red paper umbrella in his hand.
The two black-robed guards were besieged by more than a dozen masked men, but they were like bamboos, as if they were chopping melons and vegetables, and several masked people were cut down to the ground, and the bright red blood flowed down the rain and seeped into the bluestone slabs in the alley.
The young man looked at the fierce battle in the field, and instead of being afraid, he showed an excited look on his face, and he looked eager to try.
Half an hour later, only the last strong masked man was still fighting.
The masked man fought to the death, desperately throwing a black ball at the boy, and the two guards took advantage of the time to stab the masked man in the chest.
The black beads burst out of thin air, turning into a powerful ghost with long hair covering his face, his two arms were extremely pale, and he grabbed the boy in the air, and the boy screamed in surprise, and he was about to die.
suddenly
The red paper umbrella in the young man's hand shone red, and an illusory woman in red appeared, colliding with the long-haired ghost
Chirp, after a few sharp screams, the woman in red and the ghost both disappeared, and the red paper umbrella in the young man's hand spontaneously ignited and turned into ashes.
But the boy fell down with a pale face, and the two guards screamed, stepped forward and carried the boy and disappeared into the rain.
That year, the boy was twelve years old
..................
Countless memory fragments flashed out, like a movie, rising and disappearing, at the beginning this stream of memories almost burst his mind, but as the memories were absorbed more and more, his pressure became less and less, and his ability to bear it continued to increase, and in the end, he watched the life of this young man with the same name as himself from the perspective of a bystander.
"At the age of twelve, I saw a mysterious incident, and since then I have been obsessed with fairy roads, and I forgot to sleep and eat, and finally heard that there was a supernatural thing in the Fox Fairy Temple, and I secretly ran to investigate, and finally died of typhoid fever, but I was similar to me in my previous life. ”
"It's just that in my previous life, I could only rely on books to blindly delusional, and I didn't even dare to believe that there was such a power, but this young man was really exposed to this power."
Ye Cheng couldn't help but sigh, the two were really similar in some aspects, they were really obsessed, and Ye Cheng felt a burst of pride in his heart
"In that case, let me explore the secrets of this world for you, fairies, demons, gods and ghosts, this world is so big, I will see the scenery of this world for you"
It seems that this belief has resonated with the memory of the teenager, and the memory of the teenager has no resistance, and has been completely absorbed by Ye Cheng, from now on, Ye Chengcheng is him, he is Ye Cheng.
The memory was completely absorbed, Ye Cheng also began to wake up, his ears were vague as if he heard something, his wrist was held by one hand, and a stream of heat was transmitted from his wrist to his body, which was extremely comfortable.
It should be taking the pulse, and Ye Cheng is a dark way.
"Doctor Zhang, how is Cheng'er" A deep male voice sounded, and Ye Cheng knew from memory that it was the voice of his father in this body.
"Don't worry, Master, Young Master Cheng was just a little frightened, and he scratched a little skin, so it's no big deal."
Ye Cheng felt that his hand was stuffed back into the quilt
"Have you been targeted by those things" The deep male voice sounded again, with some nervousness
"Don't worry, sir, I checked it at the beginning, it's not those things"
The voices of the two faded away, and the room fell silent again with the creak of the door closing.
Ye Cheng began to sort out the memories of this world.
This world is truly vast, and even from the memories of a young man, he can't figure out how big this world really is.
The region where he is located is called the Northern Spirit Domain, and further north is the vast and boundless ice ocean, no one has explored how big this continent is, it seems to be a tacit understanding, and even the books that publish geography only describe this world as "vast and unfathomable"
There are a total of one hundred and eight cities in the entire Northern Spirit Domain, and the stars are scattered in all directions of this Xuan Spirit Domain, and where Ye Cheng is located is Beining City, the big city of the North Spirit Domain.
This world is also ruled by a dynasty, called the Great Spirit Dynasty, the Spirit Dynasty divides the territory by domain, and the entire Great Spirit Court controls fifteen domains, one domain and one hundred and eight cities. But this dynasty is quite mysterious, at least for Ye Cheng, a young man who has never been anywhere except Beining City, it is an extremely mysterious existence.
There is no government in this world, only the position of the city lord, the city lord controls all the affairs of the city, and then the county and township level below, it is governed by the old level of the squire and township, although it is also ruled by the city lord in name, but the degree of freedom is great.
"This loose structure did not cause an uprising and rebellion, and besides, this Great Spirit Dynasty actually ruled over the fifteen domains for fifteen hundred years."
Ye Cheng was dumbfounded, in the past dynasties, as long as he was a slightly virtuous monarch, he was thinking about how to take power from the imperial court, Weijiahai, and even caused a rebellion because of this, almost causing the subversion of the regime, otherwise how did the Eight Kings Rebellion in history come about.
However, it is the loose system of the Ling Dynasty, which seems to be child's play, has been maintained smoothly for 1,500 years, and even if there has been some turmoil in some places recently, it is still generally a stable and stable environment.
Ye Cheng's head was confused for a while, but in his previous life, he was also a person who had read Zizhi Tongjian and read historical records, could it be that I was too young, Ye Cheng couldn't help but doubt.
"Or is it that the people of this world are really simple to the extreme, everyone longs for the prosperous world and has no intention of rebelling, or the aborigines of this world are too backward in the political system, waiting for me to rescue"
A series of question marks appeared in Ye Cheng's heart, and he had even begun to plan how to change the political system, take over the central government, strengthen local rule, and finally leave a name for eternity.
But suddenly he was clever, thinking of the ghost in the broken temple, the golden sword of the blue-robed youth, the black bead ghost in the memory of the young man and the woman with the red umbrella, and a fine cold sweat covered his back.
"Maybe I'm too naïve, this world is the power of gods and ghosts, I'm afraid the water in this world is deeper than I imagined"
After some searching, Ye Chen found a situation that made him suspicious, the fifteen-year memory of this body, except for the incident of the Red Umbrella Girl, there was no information about the extraordinary power.
Even if this young man has been looking for clues to the power of gods and ghosts since he was twelve years old, and spent thousands of taels of silver like water, he has not found any information about extraordinary power in the past three years, and even he himself wonders if that incident was just a dream, after all, he was also seriously ill after that.
So when he learned that there was a vision in the Fox Girl Temple, he ignored his family's obstruction, and with great determination, secretly ran to the mountains to find clues to his extraordinary powers, because he would be sixteen years old next year.
In this world, at the age of sixteen, you can enter the house, and you can inherit the family business as a real adult. If he couldn't find the information of the supernatural power, even he didn't know what to do, a frog suddenly jumped out of the pond, saw the vast sky and ocean outside, and stuffed him back into the pond, how could he bear it.
"Is the transcendent path completely closed to ordinary people, the power of gods and ghosts is hidden in the shadows of the world, and even people like him who are obviously from powerful families can't access it, let alone those ordinary people"
Ye Cheng sighed lightly, originally thought that when he came to this world, the avenue of immortal road immortality had already opened to him, but he didn't expect that this world's blockade of extraordinary power would be so powerful.
Ye Cheng's gaze subconsciously turned to the small white frame that was quietly suspended under his line of sight, this small white frame seemed to be composed of air currents, but it had been standing under his line of sight.
Suddenly, Ye Cheng's heart swelled with pride
"Even if this world is really blocking the transcendent power, with a small white frame, this transcendent path can't stop me!"
Ye Cheng's eyes flickered, and the fear he had been afraid of his birth was swept away, and a strong desire rose in Ye Cheng's heart, he wanted to see what the world really looked like.
"Or, the world's blockade of supernatural powers is not as tight as I thought," he muttered softly to himself, remembering his father's words before.
