Chapter 264: Cultivators of the Small World
Ye Zan and the others booked a room in the inn, and casually made some messy things as luggage and threw them in their respective rooms. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 After that, of course, everyone didn't really have to rest, so they left the inn one after another and went to the city to find out the news.
In fact, Ye Zan didn't have to go to the locals to inquire about the news in person like other people. As long as a handful of electronic flies are scattered, no matter what secrets there are in the city, they will not escape his surveillance. However, it is necessary to do something, otherwise even if there is any news, it will be difficult to explain the source to everyone.
So, Ye Zan and the Lin family siblings also left the inn and wandered around the city.
At this time, the high-altitude probe was still probing the world and transmitting the detected information back to Yezan. Through the probe, Ye Zan gradually gained some general understanding of the world.
First of all, the size of this world is far from being comparable to the secret realm of Yuqing Sect, with a land area of about 20,000 square kilometers, which is equivalent to five times the size of the American continent on the earth in the world of science and technology. Beyond the land, there is a large ocean, which has not yet been detected by high-altitude probes, but it is certainly not a small area.
In addition, the human beings in this world seem to be quite prosperous in their survival and reproduction, with large and small cities all over the continent, and the population is hundreds of millions.
Through the high-altitude detector, you can only see the general situation of the world, and if you want to really have a deeper understanding, you still need the detection of electronic flies. Fortunately, Ye Zan had thought of these for a long time, so those high-altitude detectors were equipped with electronic fly dropping devices.
In high-altitude probes, after reaching some specific locations, stealth aerial vehicles fly out of the probes and release electronic flies into cities where humans gather. Then, the stealth drone will act as a temporary base station to transmit the signals of electronic flies to the high-altitude detector, and then the high-altitude detector will transmit it to Yezan's side.
Therefore, during the time spent wandering on the street, although Ye Zan seemed to have done nothing, his understanding of the world was increasing little by little.
Soon, Ye Zan learned another important piece of information, there was no cultivation sect in this world. Of course, this is not to say that there are no cultivators, but the people of this world use another form of lineage called the Dao Palace when it comes to cultivating the Dao.
This palace is actually a form of academy, just like a academy. The academy has county schools, government schools, and national studies, and the same is true for the Taoist Palace. Although not every city will have a Dao Palace, the kind of Dao Palace at the county level is still very widely distributed. The city where Ye Zan and the others are located happens to have a Dao Palace.
The disciples in the Dao Palace are like entering a school, and after practicing for a period of time, the Dao Palace will assess them. This assessment is not for everyone to catch and fight. There are many things to be assessed, from the mastery of monastic knowledge to the merits of personal qualifications, etc., and of course, there is also a competition.
Those who pass the assessment will be promoted to a more advanced Dao Palace, such as from the county level to the prefecture level, and then from the prefecture level to the national level. The national-level Dao Palace is called the Protector Dao Palace, and those who "graduate" from the Protector Dao Palace will become the Protector of the Country.
Therefore, the monastic inheritance in this world is not like the inheritance of the sect or the family inheritance, but has become the inheritance of the country. It can be said that the vast majority of cultivators are controlled by the imperial power, and while serving the imperial power, they will also receive corresponding benefits.
Ye Zan also couldn't know whether this special inheritance method was naturally evolved, or if Xuanqing Dao Ancestor wanted to carry out some experiments.
Of course, there are also cultivators who do not obey the control of the imperial power, and that kind of person will be labeled as an evil and will be wanted and hunted down by the Taoist palaces of various countries. In this world, the evil way is like the outer evil way, not about the behavior of the evil way, but about the status of the evil way. It seems that everyone is deliberately maintaining this way of transmission and not allowing any cultivators to be out of control.
This is a bit troublesome, Ye Zan originally planned to make up the identity of a hermit cultivator family for himself and others. Then use this identity to blend into the circle of cultivators in this world, so that you can inquire about some more secret information. But now it seems that if you really do that, you and others will become an evil way that everyone shouts and beats.
It was getting late, and everyone returned to the inn from outside. Ye Zan found that Lin Mumu was a little sullen, so he asked curiously, "Mumu, what do you want?"
"Brother Ye, do you think there is a possibility, we are actually no different from them outside. Although the outside world is much bigger than here, who knows if it will be a secret realm in the eyes of others?" Lin Mumu said a little depressed. Obviously, the situation in this world has also touched him a little.
In fact, in the world of technology, there is a similar conjecture. Although human beings have immigrated to the interstellar world and begun to toss desperately in the universe, there may be a pair of eyes that watch human beings toss from above. Just as humans observe ants in glass boxes, the vast universe may be like an ant box.
And now it seems that the people in the small world in front of them, compared to the existence of Xuanqing Dao Ancestor, or relative to the people in the big world outside, are not like an ant box. People in this small world may no longer know that the world they live in is just someone else's secret realm. So the people in the Shenhua Realm outside must know that their world is not someone else's secret realm?
This kind of question is actually quite boring, because you can never find the final answer. If you jump out of the small world and out of the realm of the Shenhua Domain, then the world you are in must be the ultimate world? Who can be sure if there is another world outside, and whether there is another world outside that heavy world?
Therefore, there is no ultimate thing, only something more, and this kind of problem is like a ray emitted by a point, and there is never a real end.
However, Lin Mumu's words also caused several other people to think, as if they had all suddenly turned into philosophers. The atmosphere in the room was a little dull, Lin Miaomiao finally couldn't help it, and slapped her younger brother on the head again, and said hatefully: "What are you thinking about, does it have anything to do with you!"
Suddenly, the atmosphere in the room changed, and the other people couldn't help laughing. Lin Mumu's words almost stunned them, but Lin Miaomiao's words pulled them out again.
"Okay, let's talk about some of the situation in this small world. Ye Zan attracted everyone's attention, and then explained some of the information he had learned to everyone in an easy-to-explain manner.
What Ye Zan said was mainly the problem of the Dao Palace, as well as the issue of their identity. After all, judging from the current situation, if everyone reveals their identities and can't explain their origins, nine out of nine will be classified as heretical.
"Brother Ye, I didn't expect that in this day's time, you seem to have just been hanging out with us, and you already know so many things!" Lin Mumu said in great surprise. In this day, he has been following Ye Zan, and he basically knows what Ye Zan has done, so he is so surprised.
It's just that Lin Mumu didn't expect that this sentence annoyed his sister again. As a result, Lin Miaomiao chiseled with her hand again, added another meat bun to her brother's head, and said hatefully: "What do you mean we just hang out!"
"Uh......" Lin Mumu also reacted, how could he tell the truth. Everyone went to find out the news, but they were hanging out for a day, which seems a bit inappropriate.
Of course, as for the issue of "hanging out", everyone doesn't seem to care much. After all, compared to the information that Ye Zan obtained, what everyone heard in this day was actually similar to hanging out.
"Therefore, we must find a way to get a suitable identity, otherwise we will not be able to contact our colleagues in this world. A Sect Master of the Heavenly Rune Sect said.
"Yes, once it is recognized as an evil path, then we have to face all the cultivators of the Dao Palace in this world. Ye Zan also said helplessly.
The key point is that although the world is relatively backward in terms of messaging, there is no high-tech thing like Qianli Transmission. However, due to the management method of the Dao Palace, almost all the cultivators were registered, and it was difficult to create some false identities.
Moreover, more importantly, even if they are not afraid of the cultivators of this world, once they become opponents with the other party, how can they find out about the mission.
"Didn't you say that there are still some evil ways? We don't have to deal with the people of the Dao Palace, and those evil ways can't know some information?" Shi Yingjie said suddenly beside him.
"This, I'm afraid it's not very good, after all, we are all people in the righteous path, and those evil ways are more like demonic paths......" The grandmasters of several other sects, when they heard Shi Yingjie's words, immediately expressed their disapproval.
The master family is a cultivator family, so don't look very close to the righteous path sect, in fact, the views on the two paths of righteousness and demons are not so black and white. However, the other sects, which are all serious and righteous sects, although they do not shout all day long to eliminate the demon and defend the way, but they are still quite repulsive in their hearts when dealing with the demon way.
However, at this moment, there was a noise outside the inn.
At the same time, Ye Zan's face also showed a hint of amusement, and he said helplessly to everyone: "Fellow Daoists, it seems that this time, we can't do evil things if we don't want to." ”
"Why did Daoist friends say this?" someone asked strangely.
"It should be someone who revealed his identity during the day, and now that the outside is surrounded by people from the Dao Palace, I'm afraid he came for me. As he spoke, Ye Zan stood up and pushed open the window of the room.
"Hey, ...... Why didn't I notice it before I waited!" Everyone looked out the window, and sure enough, they saw that the inn was already surrounded by groups. Outside the inn, there were a large number of soldiers holding torches, and more than a dozen monks in sword robes were standing in front of the soldiers, as if they were considering whether to rush into the inn.
