Chapter 1298: The leader of the small Dongyi tribe
cough cough...
At this moment, Lin Ran and others heard a cough not far away.
Wang Jinpeng asked: "Who is it?"
In the darkness, there was the sound of the door being opened.
They also gradually recovered their vision, which made everyone feel a little confident, as long as they didn't become blind.
As the light entered, a figure appeared at the door.
Then there was a roar, but it was not the roar of a monster, but like human language, with specific syllables, and seemed to be communicating.
It's just that they can't understand each other's words.
Then, several soldiers holding broadswords and wearing half-armor walked in.
The soldier's appearance was exactly the same as what he had seen on the mural before.
Wang Jinpeng and Lao Hei immediately took out their weapons and prepared to fight back.
However, there were too many people on the other side, and they were all ready to kill. After being stabbed in the arm, Wang Jinpeng was knocked to the ground by three soldiers.
Lao Hei was also held on his neck by two soldiers with knives, and they knelt on the ground.
It’s over.
Lin Ran and Xu Ning didn't know what happened, but with the cold knife on their necks, they had no choice but to raise their hands obediently.
The other party did not directly kill them, but took them out and brought them to the main hall.
They actually returned to the palace!
The structure of the palace has not changed, except where there was a secret passage before, there is now a mahogany throne.
On the mahogany throne sat a man.
In an instant, Lin Ran felt that the blur on the mural was gone. He recognized the man's appearance at a glance. It was the man he had seen on the mural before.
It’s strange, I couldn’t see the face clearly just now, but why is it so clear now?
Lin Ran's first reaction was that he had entered the hallucination again and was about to close his eyes.
Unexpectedly, the soldiers guarding them let them go.
The man on the throne started coughing again, and said a few words to the soldiers in unintelligible words, and all the soldiers retreated.
Then, he stood up and came to several people.
Wang Jinpeng's arm was injured, Xu Ning was also seriously injured, and although Lao Hei was not seriously injured, all the flying knives on his body were confiscated by the soldiers.
However, if you just want to deal with this man, you can do it with your bare hands.
They were exchanging glances, but unexpectedly the man spoke first.
"Are these guys from the future too?" the man said slowly.
"What..." Wang Jinpeng was about to take action, but was confused by this sentence. He didn't know what to do.
Suddenly, Lin Ran smiled and said: "The king of heaven will conquer the tiger of earth."
"Chicken stewed with mushrooms." The man answered directly, and then the two of them laughed at the same time, while the others were confused.
"Get up." The man laughed, then coughed again.
However, he turned his back to everyone and seemed to have no hostility.
He shouted a few more times outside. After a while, the soldiers brought a small table with some fruits on it and put it in a can.
The man sat back on the table, waved his hands and said, "Everyone here is a guest, you can do whatever you want."
"Really?" Wang Jinpeng was confused for a while. He also felt that he was still hallucinating, but when he saw Lin Ran nodded to him, he sat down with peace of mind.
"What do you call them?" The man finally calmed down after coughing for a while. It didn't sound like there was any hostility in his voice, but his body was indeed not stable.
They introduced themselves one by one, and the man's face was full of shock.
"Am I already dead?" He said with an unacceptable expression.
"We're not sure if it's you." Lin Ran said. He didn't eat his own fruit, but quietly peeled out the core and threw it on the table.
The others followed suit, but because they were far away and the man didn't look at them carefully, they didn't notice it.
He was still immersed in disbelief.
Lin Ran comforted him: "What time is it now?"
"King Zhou of Shang, what do you think?" Although the man was in a low mood, his tone was still quite funny, but it was a little more heavy.
It’s really an ancient tomb from the Yin and Shang Dynasties!
If this is not an illusion, then they have traveled back to the Yin and Shang Dynasties, and if it is the era of King Zhou of the Shang Dynasty, it should be 1000 BC, which is a full 3000 years away from their era!
The man also realized this and sighed: "Oh, after all, it has been 3000 years. It is wishful thinking to live."
He seems to have figured it out.
Lin Ran followed his words and asked, "Where are we now?"
"Of course it's the Dongyi tribe, but we are a small tribe, and we are the Yingyi tribe that was driven out of the Central Plains." He smiled helplessly.
Dongyi is a tribal group with a large population in the east of ancient China. Because it is located in the east of the Central Plains, it is called Dongyi.
In ancient legends, they were divided into Chiyou tribe, Nuwa tribe, Houyi tribe, etc. It can be seen that Dongyi played a decisive role in history and was also the origin of mythology.
It was the most powerful during the Xia Dynasty, but when the concept of the country emerged, these small tribes separated and combined with each other. They could no longer form a fighting force and could only be suppressed.
However, during the Shang Dynasty, they would also use sacrifices to establish good relations with the Dongyi tribe.
By the Zhou Dynasty, it had completely fallen.
Lin Ran didn't want to continue talking about this topic, because he could feel that although the speaking habits of the person in front of him still maintained the style of a person in the 21st century, his character had obviously changed.
He now considered himself the ruler and would certainly not tell them everything.
During the meal before, Lin Ran reminded them to be careful because he was afraid that the other party would poison them.
For a monarch, talents are those who can be used by him, and those who cannot be controlled will only become a serious nuisance.
He can sit in the position of tribal leader and command so many troops. It is impossible to say that he has no ambition.
This place is already the territory of Sang Shung Kingdom, and it can be said that it is attacked from both sides.
It is absolutely impossible to achieve this level without leaving a name in history, so the existence of this guy may have changed a lot of history.
Lin Ran changed the topic to his body.
"I see you've been coughing, what's wrong?"
"I don't know, maybe I'm not used to the water and soil here, and I contracted lung disease." He shrugged and coughed violently again.
Everyone else frowned, who knew whether this strange disease could be contagious.
At this moment, a soldier hurried in and reported the situation.
The man stood up immediately with a serious look on his face.
"You guys go down and rest first. King Zhou of Shang has sent someone here again." He said in a calm tone.
Then, several soldiers took them down.
However, they were not taken to the dungeon, but to a small cabin.
This wooden house looks like a civilian house seen in the ancient city.
"Isn't it incredible? He actually fought with King Zhou of Shang?" Wang Jinpeng pinched his face in disbelief.
The same goes for Xu Ning. He also thought he was dreaming.
But Lin Ran didn't think so, because even with the secret technique of treasure appraisal, he couldn't escape from the hallucination.
Which means, this is reality.
They actually came to the past from the ancient tomb.
