Chapter 98 The Old Capital

Dry! Could it be that what is said in the watch: "Randomly resurrect a ......" refers to Hou Yi?

So, this time, Qiao Jing won't be resurrected?

Day! What kind of bullshit is this near-death teleportation? Even I can't control the time, and now that I'm fine, I can't even control the resurrection......

Lin Yuan looked at the resurrected Hou Yi in front of him, and couldn't help but have mixed feelings in his heart.

However, all these complaints disappeared after Hou Yi rushed over and gave him a big hug.

"King Yan! I can see you again! It's true...... That's great! ”

Hou Yi said excitedly, he looked at the linen jacket Lin Yuan was wearing, and Jiu Yao behind him, and couldn't help but be stunned for a moment.

Lin Yuan waved his hand, called Jiu Yao over, and briefly introduced it to Hou Yi, of course, he omitted the part of the resurrection, he had already told Hou Yi with his eyes, about the resurrection, it must be kept secret.

Of course, Hou Yi understood that for people who had experienced death, that kind of experience would not be easily told to others.

Jiu Yao took the little boy who had just come down and walked over, Hou Yi looked at it and said:

"King Yan...... Are you here to save him? It was so dangerous just now, if I was one step too late...... The consequences are unimaginable......"

Lin Yuan smiled and said, "Haha, it's okay, it's not ...... Thing! Then, he patted Hou Yi's shoulder with his hand and squeezed it hard, Hou Yi immediately understood the meaning of his words, and also laughed and said:

"Oh...... But that can't be done casually...... Alas, in short, you scared us to death just now...... By the way, who is this little boy? ”

Lin Yuan thought for a moment and said, "I only know that he is from the Huang Clan from the north, but it's very strange, I don't know why the warriors who are also from the Huang Clan want to arrest him...... By the way, what's your name, kid? ”

“……”

The little boy glanced at Lin Yuan, turned his head away, and didn't say a word.

Jiu Yao frowned, and said with some worry: "God's gift...... I'm worried...... The little boy seemed to be mute...... He didn't open his mouth just now, and he wouldn't say anything when I kept asking him......"

Lin Yuan squatted down and looked at the little boy carefully, frowned and said, "Oops...... This is not easy to do, I originally planned to inquire about the Huang clan through him...... And what about our Yan clan and Huadu......"

As soon as Hou Yi heard Lin Yuan say this, he immediately replied:

"King Yan! You don't have to look for it, I've found Huadu! ”

"What?"

Lin Yuanhuo stood up, and he asked eagerly:

"How did you find it? How's it going there? Where is it? ”

Hou Yi smiled and said:

"Actually, I don't know what's going on, when I wake up, that...... You know, I almost went crazy, everything around me changed, I didn't even know where I was, I thought I was still dreaming, and for a while, I was locked up as a slave, and then for a while, I even forgot who I was...... Until...... Until they found me! and then took me to Huadu ......"

Hou Yi pointed behind him, on the dirt slope behind him, there were several people standing in the distance looking at them, Hou Yi pulled Lin Yuan and walked towards the hillside, and as he walked, he said:

"Come, King Yan, introduce you to our own people! King Yan! This is our own people of the Yan clan! ”

Lin Yuan looked shocked, he followed Hou Yi and slowly walked up to those people, and couldn't help but be taken aback again.

It was a group of unassuming-looking men, dressed in ordinary leather clothes, not unlike the peasants and slaves that were found everywhere on the plains, and it would have been impossible to associate them with warriors had it not been for the weapons in their hands.

Moreover, he also saw a familiar face in the midst of this group of people.

It was an old man with gray eyes, the same old man he and Jiu Yao had met not long ago, and they had asked him for directions......

"This ......" Lin Yuan instantly understood, this old man was actually the same as these people, they were not ordinary farmers, perhaps, when they met Lin Yuan before, it was just some kind of test or something, and it was not until they confirmed their intentions that they brought Hou Yi.

"Hello everyone!"

Lin Yuan said hello to a few people, and he didn't know their identities and status, so he didn't add any titles.

The blind old man, supported by others, took a step forward, nodded slightly, and said:

"Hello...... Young traveler, glad Hou Yi has found his companions, we are the servants of the great Fire God, the only organization in the world that adheres to the true God, the Flame Watch Regiment! As soon as the old man's words fell, the surrounding people immediately put away their weapons and stomped heavily on the ground, which was quite imposing.

"I am the 142nd Fire Watcher......" the old man briefly introduced himself, then turned to Hou Yi and asked:

"Hou Yi, are they the people you are looking for?"

"Yes! Yes! Firewatchers! He's what I call King Yan! The Yan King of the Ancient Era! It's really him! ”

Lin Yuan chuckled in his heart, Hou Yi, this kid was very fast, and he told his secret in one fell swoop, and he didn't know what this fire watcher would do......

The old man's gray eyes turned to Lin Yuan's side, and he seemed to be looking at him with blind eyes, and after a while, he said:

"Hou Yi...... The old man rescued you from the slaves of the Sanyuan clan back then, mainly because he valued your pure belief in the Holy Fire Sect, which is a very valuable quality, especially in the current era when false gods are flying all over the sky, there are not many people who can adhere to the belief of the Fire God True Sect......"

“…… But you told me an incredible story...... I'm sorry, the old man still can't understand, and I prefer to believe that this may just be something that you have been stimulated and imagined, the one in front of you, whether you are Hou Yi's friend or have other purposes, I just want to tell you, unless you can prove yourself, otherwise, you are just an ordinary person who is jealous and hateful to us, and likes to act chivalrous...... Of course, it will take a tough test......"

Lin Yuan hurriedly smiled, he seemed to relax, no matter what, it seemed that this old man didn't believe in his rebirth, but it didn't matter, for the current Lin Yuan, he didn't need any religious power to help.

"Nothing, this ...... Fire watcher, my name is Lin Yuan, a very rare name, you can call me by my name in the future, as for my identity, it doesn't really matter, according to what you said before, I am just an old man of Hou Yi, and I have no ill will towards you, so that's it! As for joining you...... I don't have any ideas yet, because we don't know each other very well, but for now, I have something I want to ask you to help with......"

"Please tell me, since you are Hou Yi's friend, you are our friend, we will definitely help vigorously." The old man said.

Lin Yuan leaned a little closer and said, "Firewatcher, I want to go to Huadu......

The old man seemed to tremble, and the people around him were obviously stunned, and said:

"How...... Why do you have to go there, like Hou Yi? It's in ruins now, and it's ...... Holy land, can only be visited at night......"

"Why?" Lin Yuan asked.

"Because, Huadu is now an outpost fortress of the Sanyuan tribe, and they are at war with the Xian tribe...... We had to sneak in at night......"

…………………………

The afternoon passed quickly, and finally, it was late at night.

Lin Yuan, who was already impatient, under the leadership of two members of the Holy Flame Watch Regiment, took advantage of the night with Hou Yi to secretly approach the fortress of the Sanyuan clan, which was once the place of Huadu.

Jiu Yao took the little boy and the other members of the Flame Watch to stay safely together.

Lin Yuan and the others carefully dodged the defense of the Sanyuan Clan, in order not to cause unnecessary trouble, they did not attack from the front, but detoured to the side of the fortress, where there was a huge bush, the two members of the Holy Flame Watch moved the grass away, and a secret small hole appeared in front of them.

"King Yan...... This secret passage leads directly to the Fire Temple...... The ruins, please enter! Hou Yi gestured and led Lin Yuan into the secret passage.

"Here, how can there be a secret passage?" Lin Yuan was a little curious.

"King Yan...... Although there are not many people in the Flame Watch Group at the moment, everyone still retains their pious faith, although the Fire Temple has long since collapsed, but this is still a holy place in the hearts of all believers, so every once in a while, everyone will try their best to come and pray, and this secret passage is the secret ...... of our watchmen," Hou Yi explained as he walked.

Lin Yuan nodded, indicating that he understood.

A group of four of them, they groped their way through the secret passage for a while, and then suddenly turned up, climbed a short distance, and emerged from a narrow crack.

A huge bonfire appeared in front of Lin Yuan, it turned out that they had returned to the ground, and here, it seemed to be a dilapidated ruin.

Hou Yi was right, Huadu did set up a ruin, and even, the appearance of the ruins has some signs of weathering, except for the solid pottery ground under his feet, everything around him has indeed disappeared.

Lin Yuan slowly squatted down, brushed the dust on the ground with his hand, and a broken pottery shard was exposed, Lin Yuan stroked it lightly a few times, and couldn't help but think of the surprised expression of the Turkish chieftain who stepped on it barefoot for the first time, that day was the day when the Yan clan raised their eyebrows.

But now, there was nothing but the ruined foundation and a large bonfire not far away.

"King Yan...... It's been too long, and the wood, the hides, the dead, they've long since turned to dust and drifted away in the wind...... Fortunately, we chose Huadu at that time in a very good location, the terrain here is very high, easy to defend and difficult to attack, so it is often used as an important strategic fortress by nearby tribes, you see, no matter how many times it changes hands, this sacred flame will never be extinguished, but this is not because these tribal chiefs believe in the Vulcan Cult, but because the holy fire here burns, which can illuminate a radius of several miles, so that they can monitor the territory......"

Hou Yi explained in a low voice.

Lin Yuan nodded, and he saw that the two members of the Flame Watch Group were already standing in front of the Sacred Flame, chanting the words in a low voice. He listened intently for a while, and it seemed to be different from the set of coins invented by Fu Xi thousands of years ago, but he couldn't hear what was the difference.

Anyway, religion is such a thing, they all believe in themselves, as long as they believe it, it doesn't matter what form it takes.

Lin Yuan nodded slowly, he and Hou Yi were together, around the holy fire, slowly dispersed, in this place, there were no soldiers of the Sanyuan clan in control, maybe because they were all standing guard outside the city wall, or because no one would have thought that there would be a secret passage here.

As a result, they are able to move freely without fear of being discovered.

"Hou Yi, is there really nothing left here?" Although he knew the answer, Lin Yuan couldn't help but ask.

Hou Yi thought about it, suddenly slapped his head, and said:

"Oh, by the way, there's a copy of the Book of the Gods! I was asked to watch by the firewatcher before, but I couldn't read it...... Should let you check it out! ”

After saying that, Hou Yi rushed to the two watchmen and said a few words, and then several people took Lin Yuan to the back of the holy fire, where a small stone was erected, which had been cut into a thin piece, which looked quite like a stone tablet.

"Well, this is it, it's been here for thousands of years, no one can understand it, but no one dares to move it, we all call it the Book of the Gods!"

Lin Yuan walked over suspiciously, under the light of the holy flame, this stone tablet was clearly illuminated, covered with moss and creepers, full of marks carved by time, broken, and even in some corners, there were scratches from sharp objects.

But these imprints still can't hide the handwriting engraved on the stone stele, which is one small text after another, and it seems that someone deliberately left it on it.

Lin Yuan's eyes widened, and he hurriedly stroked the moss on it with his hand, bent down, opened his eyes wide, looked carefully, and couldn't help but become short of breath.

It turned out that on that stone tablet, it was engraved with dense characters, and those words were all standard modern Chinese, and they were simplified Chinese characters!

Those handwritings, Juan Xiu is full of strength, and at first glance it is from Anna's pen!
