After retrieving the records of the operation log at night, Lin Tuo lowered his head and observed the layout in the sand table, and roughly figured out the current situation.
"Sure enough... the social structure is different when the land area is larger." Lin Tuo was a little emotional.
According to the description in the log, the human social structure in the sand table today is a form of alliance state in which all countries stand side by side.
Leaving aside the inaccessible, unexplored and dangerous places around the mainland, dozens of countries, large and small, are distributed in the most fertile central region.
Among them, the "Ding" country is the most powerful and the world is ruled by all, so it is counted as the "Ding" dynasty, and the rest of the countries belong to the "vassal states".
The princes here are not canonized by the royal family, but independent and self-governing countries.
Probably such a situation.
In terms of time, the Ding Dynasty has existed for more than three hundred years.
"It seems that we haven't got rid of slavery yet, but we have a complete social form. Well, this place seems to be a bit worse than the original Chi country... Is it because of the difference in land area..."
Lin Tuo thought about it, called out the virtual panel, turned off the time acceleration, and the light and shadow in the sandbox immediately stagnated. In the upper left corner, the current ambient ether concentration was displayed as "low", which is not surprising.
"The number of demons is still rare..." He cast his eyes on the sky, the scattered blue and white breath, and the number of hanging ether threads has increased a lot compared to yesterday, but compared to humans, they are still too few.
Lin Tuo thought about it, but he was not surprised.
Monsters are born in different ethnic groups, rely too much on chance, and it is difficult to reproduce in a large scale, not to mention possible obstacles in the reproductive level, but the scale of the number is not enough to support...
In case of bad luck, there is only one monster in the whole group, or two of the same gender... Just thinking about it, it's very sad.
Moreover, once the wisdom is opened, there is a high probability that they will not continue to live with ignorant fellows.
Lin Tuo noticed that those thin ether lines are mostly distributed in places where human beings gather, in the mountains on the outskirts of cities, or in the mountains near the countryside.
"Well, speaking of it, there must be conflicts in this mixed-living situation." Lin Tuo thought, and felt that the work of spreading the cultivation method was becoming more and more urgent.
Yes, the "next step" of the plan is to spread the practice.
As for how to spread it, he already has an idea, but before that, he still needs to understand the internal situation of the sand table and do a "research" on the social situation, so that he can make targeted adjustments.
As for the location of the "investigation", Lin Tuo raised his eyes to the sky, looked at the concentration of ether in the sky above dozens of vassal states, and his eyes fell on the most dense area.
That is not the tripod country where the "common master of the world" is located, but a vassal country.
After thinking for two seconds, Lin Tuo turned around, took out a black cloak that had been prepared a long time ago from the cabinet, and then pushed open the door, went outside, and shouted: "Huaxi?"
"Huh?" Senior Sister Li Shan, who had just finished washing the dishes, rolled up her sleeves, and came out of the kitchen with her hands soaked in water, with a question mark on her face.
In the next second, I saw a black shadow rushing toward my face: "Change clothes, and come on a business trip with me later."
…
Lin Tuo didn't have a job, so of course the business trip here meant something else.
When Huaxi dried her hands excitedly, put on this strange cloak, and walked out the door, she saw Lin Tuo, who was also wearing a cloak, already standing in the courtyard.
"Do you want to teleport..." Huaxi realized for a while, she knew that Lin Tuo had the ability to teleport, but in the past it was mostly used to pick up takeaway... Today, it is obviously different.
"Where are you going?" Huaxi walked over skillfully and grabbed hold of it.
Under the sun, Lin Tuo tugged on his hood and brushed away the hair blocking his view: "Go to another world."
…
…
In the center of the Mangmang Continent, where the human race gathers, and the vast land, all belong to the territory of the Great Ding Dynasty.
The southwestern frontier is the territory of the "Sheng" kingdom of the princes.
There is a mountain range in the south of Shengguo, which is called Dahuang Mountain because of its barrenness.
There is a village under the mountain, which is nameless.
At this moment, it was evening, and in the western sky, wisps of clouds seemed to have solidified, and the bright sun was slowly falling below the horizon.
The sun shines through the clouds, dimly, and sprinkles on the faces of the crowd gathered at the entrance of the village, much like an oil painting.
However, the simple eyebrows and eyes of the villagers who gathered here only became more and more anxious.
Almost the whole village gathered at the entrance of the village, getting close together, looking in the direction of the mountain, as if they were waiting for something.
suddenly.
"Uncle Tie and the others are back!" In the crowd, a sharp-eyed doll shouted first.
Then, others also saw a group of people running out of the dense forest in the distance.
The entire silent scene seemed to be broken, and everyone was obviously relieved, as if a hanging heart fell to the ground.
The village chief, who was the leader of the crowd, shouted anxiously before those people ran over:
"How is it? Did the mountain god accept it?"
On the opposite side, there were six or seven men running out of the forest, wearing some bright ribbons on their bodies, and some of them were carrying poles in their hands.
At this moment, panting and running to the entrance of the village, the leader of a tall man shook his head, nodded again, and said amidst the anxious expressions of the others:
"I didn't see it. We left the offerings in the temple and came back."
Everyone looked at each other in blank dismay, the answer was neither good nor bad, and finally the village chief said:
"Anyway, it's good to be back. The rest is up to God's will. I hope the mountain god will not enter the village for the sake of offerings. Come back, come back."
While talking, the people guarding the village entrance turned their heads full of worry, and were about to go back slowly, but the child just now couldn't help but said: "What mountain god, it's clearly a demon..."
"What nonsense are you talking about?!" Beside, the child's father was in a hurry when he heard the words, he kicked him quickly, turned his head to look at the mountains in the distance, and cursed in a low voice, "I won't have dinner tonight!"
"Forget it, Tong Yan Wuji." The leader, a tall man named Wang Tie, came over and advised.
In his eyes, there was a burst of sadness.
demon.
Yes, what kind of mountain god is simply a monster.
There are demons in the world. This is something that everyone who grows up in this world knows since childhood. They often appear in stories and dreams. When they grow up, they will know that demons really exist.
They are rare in number, but they are far stronger than ordinary ferocious beasts and humans. They can only be dealt with by an army wearing armor. They roam the land and harass villages and towns from time to time.
And in the long time, humans and demons have gradually reached a strange "tacit understanding".
Once the monsters come to a certain area and reveal their whereabouts, some people will send livestock, cattle and sheep as offerings. Some monsters will leave after receiving the offerings, while others will swallow the people together...
Of course, there are also a small number of monsters who accept the offerings and use their abilities to give some rewards...
But no one dared to bet.
Not long ago, when someone from the village went to a nearby town, they heard that a monster had entered the surrounding area and killed people. It is unknown where it went now.
When he came back, he was surprised to find traces of the monster walking in the mountain, and the whole village became tense.
It is not a town, and there are no officers and soldiers stationed there, so naturally no one is protecting it.
The village quickly slaughtered the livestock, collected some offerings, and sent them to the temple on the mountain by Chuichuidada, but they never expected that when they arrived there, they did not meet the rightful Lord.
Seeing that the sky was getting dark, everyone didn't dare to stay longer, so they hurried back.
Thinking of this, Wang Tie, who had wandered around the city and studied for several years, couldn't help but feel his heart sink.
If the demon really came, would they be able to stop it
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but stop, and turned his head to look behind him.
At the junction of the mountain and the flat land, the sun has already set by half.
However, at this moment, suddenly, a strange wind blew up, shaking everyone's clothes, hair, and the entire mountain forest.
"Ah, there is someone on the official road!" The child next to him shouted again, and Wang Tie and others hurriedly looked.
All I saw was, on the relatively "wide" and "smooth" official road between the village and the forest, two travelers in black cloaks, one big and one small, were walking side by side.
Behind them was the red and warm sun. In a trance, the two seemed to be walking from the sun.
…
"It's dark and the road is far away, is it convenient to stay overnight?"
In a daze, when everyone came back to their senses, they saw that two strangers had arrived at the entrance of the village. The leader pulled down his hood, revealing an exceptionally white face that was very different from the people in the village.
Next to him, Huaxi also learned to pull down his hat, so the surprise in the eyes of the villagers became more and more intense.
Compared with the poor villagers in Shengguo, Lin Tuo and Huaxi are completely different from this world in terms of appearance, temperament, and clothing.
Looks... like... a distant "city guy".
"Inconvenient?" Seeing that no one answered, Lin Tuo frowned unobtrusively, thinking that he had to change places.
"No, it's just...we're not safe here."
The village head looked at the two for a while, and kindly persuaded them. Seeing that the two were looking at him, he pointed emphatically at the mountain not far away, and reminded in a low voice, "There is a demon here."
Immediately, there was a smile in Lin Tuo's eyes: "That's really great."
