Chapter 1663 Strange Lamp
After Fang Linyan listened, he nodded silently and said:
"Okay, taught."

The two then walked towards the wine shop. Of course they were strictly on guard along the way, but they didn't encounter any danger.

When I came to the restaurant, I found that the environment here was dilapidated and dilapidated. It seemed that it had been abandoned for at least ten years, and the style of the tables and the appearance of the piled earthenware bowls were obviously ancient styles.

However, Fang Linyan soon discovered that there were a total of seven or eight tables in the wine shop, and there was something of the same shape on each table, which was an oil lamp.

And this oil lamp can be said to be very exquisitely made. The overall shape is actually a maid. The skirt lines on her body are smooth and smart, and the surface is coated with a layer of glaze. Under the light of the flashlight, it seems to be covered with a layer of glaze Like oil, it is cold and smooth in the hand.

To be honest, the craftsmanship of this maid is completely different from those earthenware utensils on the table!

Not only that, after Fang Linyan took a closer look at the oil lamp, he found that it was also very exquisitely made. The oil should be poured in from the maid's mouth, and then the wick would come out from the top of the head. Although this design is exquisite, it is terrifying to think about it. Just thinking about it gives me chills.

Because the lighting method of this oil lamp is a kind of torture in ancient times, that is, lighting sky lanterns!

Probably due to the age, there is neither oil nor wick in the oil lamp.Fang Linyan discussed with Xingyi, and felt that the oil lamp placed here should be an obvious hint, is it a hint that it is going to be lit?

The two searched around for a while, but found neither lamp oil nor a source of fire. At this time, Fang Linyan looked at the oil lamp for a while again, and found that the size of the maid's mouth seemed to match something else?

That thing is nothing but the Yuzhu that was pried off the mask of those Ba people before.

So Fang Linyan took out the domain bead, and as a result, when the two approached, both the oil lamp and the domain bead gave off an obvious faint light at the same time. Obviously, the two had a reaction. When it entered the maid's mouth, the place on top of her head that should have been the wick immediately emitted a bright light.

"This bead was originally used in this way."

Fang Linyan suddenly said to Xingyi.

Xingyi noticed one thing, and immediately pointed to the area covered by the light of the oil lamp:
"look!"

It turned out that the light from this oil lamp could cover almost half of the area of ​​the thatched shed, and where the light touched, those broken-looking benches and dusty tabletops suddenly changed.

The bench became tidy all of a sudden, and there were still people dressed in ancient times sitting on it, holding tobacco sticks made of tendon bamboo as thick as fingers, and their heads were wrapped in blue and black cloth turbans, and the tabletops were also wiped. It was wiped clean, with wine, vegetables and clean dishes on it!
Fang Linyan took a closer look, and found that the food and wine on the table were actually quite shabby. Boiled beans were standard, and then there were some vegetable soups and the like. As for the meat and other things, it was almost invisible.

As for the staple food of most people, it is a large bowl of thin vegetable porridge, which contains more vegetables and less rice, and if it can be served with two wild vegetable dumplings, it is considered high consumption.

Suddenly, Fang Linyan and Xingyi heard the sound of horseshoes, and they immediately held the oil lamp and looked in the direction of the sound of horseshoes. Under the light of the oil lamp, they could see a person riding a horse approaching quickly. .

However, the horses here are obviously not tall horses. They look like donkeys. They are typical Sichuan-Yunnan horses. This kind of horses were produced in Yelang Kingdom in the southwestern part of ancient times. into the grass shed and knocked down two tables!

All of a sudden there was a crackling sound, and even the earthen bowls and dishes on the table were broken a lot, and then the man on the horse fell off, and a spear was sticking out of his back. The style Fang Linyan and Xingyi are no strangers, and it is exactly the same as those wandering Ba people outside before throwing spears.

But the restaurant owner obviously knew the rider, so he rushed up and shouted nervously:

"Yong Gang! Yong Gang!"

Fang Linyan can still understand this name. This rider should be called XX Yong. The locals like to add a modal particle after the name, which is similar to Yongwa, Yongzai, and Yongsang, but the latter word is also It's not arbitrary.

For example, the word Yonggang refers to a person who is quick and reliable in doing things, fierce,
If this person has some influence in his family and can speak up in the official world, he will be called Yongtian.

If this person’s family or himself is a fisherman or a punter, his name is Yongbo.
At this time, Fang Linyan and Xingyi naturally leaned over with the oil lamp, and found that Yonggang had suffered serious injuries. Obviously, he barely survived until now, so he could only say intermittently:
"Crazy, crazy, the courage in Wangcheng is crazy, they will kill anyone with red eyes! Go, go, go!!"

This is not the first time Fang Linyan has heard of the term "Guo Kang". It should be that there was an existence similar to the Imperial Forest Army in King Ba's city back then, and they were selected warriors under King Ba's command.

At that time, Ba State was sandwiched between Chu State and Shu State. The situation was quite difficult. It was relying on Liu Baiguo under King Ba’s command to successfully take down Bakou Fushi (now Fushun) Yanchi, so he was able to survive the most difficult time at that time. of three years.

Three years later, King Chuwei, the most talented monarch in the history of Chu Kingdom, passed away, and then King Huai of Chu came to the throne. Ahem, this person is very useless. Leave Qu Yuan alone instead of using it.
Therefore, the Ba Kingdom successfully escaped the risk of extinction. Since then, the Ba kings of all dynasties have attached great importance to the bravery of their subordinates. The current Ba Wang knows that he has done some very unpopular things. Therefore, he attaches great importance to this elite team under his command, and firmly holds its control in his hands.

However, hearing what this "Yonggang" said, did something happen to Ba Wangyi because of his courage and courage?Killing people like crazy in the royal city!
You know, at this time Ba is still a small country, and most of the relatives and friends who are courageous are in the royal city, so they can do it?
What Fang Linyan could think of, Xingyi naturally thought of it at this time, she immediately said:
"Could it be that the incident that happened at this time is the scene that happened when the Ba Kingdom fell? It is clearly recorded in the history books that the royal capital fell into civil strife, and the royal family died of poisoning."

What Yong Gang said immediately made the whole village flustered. Fang Linyan took an oil lamp and looked around. He could even see black smoke billowing from a city in the sky, which should be the direction of Wangcheng. up.

But at this time, an old man with white beard and white hair suddenly strode over from the village, holding a cane in his hand, but there was a skull like a crow inlaid on the cane, which looked very mysterious. This old man As soon as he appeared, the panicked villagers around him calmed down.

The old man said in a deep voice:
"Don't panic, the ancestral spirits have anticipated this a long time ago, and brought Yong Gang here! Just do what the ancestral spirits said."

Just when Fang Linyan and the two watched with gusto, the scene came to an abrupt end - because the oil lamp was extinguished, and the domain bead had been exhausted.

The village has returned to its previous darkness, dirty, dilapidated, and withered, as if it has been deposited here for 1000 years, and will continue to exist in such a decaying way.

"Do you understand what?" Fang Linyan asked Xingyi.

Xingyi shook his head and said:

"No, but you should have found the key."

Fang Linyan said:

"Then here comes the problem. If we want to continue reading, we have to get Yuzhu, but this Yuzhu can only be found on those ancient Ba people wandering outside the village. This constitutes a dilemma."

"According to Ni, we'd better use less violence to break the situation, but if we don't use violence to break the situation, then there is no way to know the truth."

Xingyi pondered for a while and said:
"What you said is also reasonable, but have you ever thought that this other world did not appear solely for us space fighters, on the contrary, more ordinary people should be sucked in by it."

"So under normal circumstances, what happens to ordinary people after being sucked in?"

Fang Linyan was dumbfounded and said:
"Killed by those ancient Ba people wandering around?"

Xingyi said:
"It may not be killing, there are other possibilities? For example, be beaten to death and arrested?"

Fang Linyan said in astonishment:

"Ah?? Then what if the black hand is caught?"

Xingyi looked Fang Linyan up and down, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth and said:

"That depends on how much you want to know the secret, and if I'm here, then if I guess wrong, I can rescue you in time."

Fang Linyan frowned suddenly, the implication of Xingyi's words was obvious, that is, let Fang Linyan try not to fight back.

After hesitating for a while, Fang Linyan put the lamp in the private space first, then agreed to Xingyi's proposal and left the village directly.

Soon, a group of ancient Ba people surged out of the white mist in the distance again, aiming at Fang Linyan aggressively and rushing over.

Fang Linyan immediately began to imitate the reaction of ordinary people entering the room. First, he shouted and ran in panic. After running for tens of meters, he pretended to have fallen, and then trotted with a limp.

Sure enough, at this time, the ancient Ba people in the rear realized that they could catch Fang Linyan with every chance, so they didn't try to throw their spears, but let out a cry of surprise, rushed up and tied themselves up.

Fang Linyan didn't expect it to be so smooth, but after he had close contact with these ancient Ba people, he knew that their eyes were very dull and indifferent, like robots following the procedures, but considering that they turned into white mist after death So it's not surprising that he lacks wisdom.

When Fang Linyan was caught, he found that they escorted him in another direction. During the escort, several ancient Ba people's patrols probably smelled the breath of living people and rushed over. , and even the two sides started a "wow wow" quarrel, almost going to grab someone.

Then the people who caught Fang Linyan's patrol team were also very angry. They didn't beep as soon as they could do it. They threw away the spear in their hands and smashed it with their fists. There are two or three teams participating in the battle.

Under such circumstances, Fang Linyan was also a little confused. He never expected that a rough man like himself would enjoy the treatment of a confidante who was scrambled for by dozens or hundreds of big men today? !
Seeing that the two sides were fighting fiercely, Fang Linyan saw the discarded shields beside him, and some of the spears were actually inlaid with domain beads. Immediately, he had an idea, moved over secretly, and started picking beads.

What I did before was killing people and stealing pearls. Now that the original owner is still there, I can only be regarded as theft at best. The nature of such behavior should be completely different.

After getting the five domain beads, Fang Linyan thought about the reaction that a normal person should have. Of course, he escaped in time through the chaos—otherwise, he would steal the domain beads by himself after the two sides in the scuffle decided the winner. What should I do if the incident is revealed?
So Fang Linyan continued to run away, but after escaping a few hundred meters this time, he encountered a patrol team head-on, and there were cavalry in this patrol team, and the specifications were obviously higher than the previous ones.

At this time, Fang Linyan already knew that a living foreign captive like himself should be of great value to them, so he honestly captured him without a fight, and was escorted by them to the west, where he was "withered" from the village where he stayed before. Sangli" can be said to run in the opposite direction.

After being escorted this time, nothing happened. Fang Linyan was sent directly to the gate of a city. At first glance, the city looked extremely dilapidated:

The city gate was wide open, the wooden city gate was full of cut marks from knives and axes, and there was a stale smell everywhere, the ground was full of dust, and there were even bones crawling on the ground. Inside the shops on both sides, there were even scattered traces of looting
Fang Linyan came to a realization: This is not any other place, but the cemetery of the Ba Kingdom that has been spread for thousands of years. The king's capital after the turmoil of the year, however, is in the gap between time and space. Unknown ways are preserved!

Suddenly, Fang Linyan felt a sharp pain in his back and staggered forward a few steps. He immediately turned around and saw the patrol cavalry behind him pointing a spear at him. Obviously, he was the one who swung the spear earlier. The spear hit him on the body.

At this time, the cavalry even raised the tip of the spear a little bit, and the eyes behind the mask were very deep, looking like a deep well, without any emotion, only cruelty and severe cold.

Obviously, the intention of the cavalry was to let Fang Linyan enter the city. If he dared to disobey the order, he would stab him with a spear.
