"Boiling salt field of the Ba people?"
Li Yan heard this and frowned slightly.
"That's right."
"Fast Ship Zhang" nodded: "There are many such places along the Yangtze River in Badong and Wushan, especially around Wuxi, where you can also see the hanging coffins of the ancient Ba people."
"There's nothing extraordinary inside, occasionally you might find some broken pottery or metal, but they're not valuable, so no one pays attention."
"This matter is not surprising."
Wang Daoxuan looked around, stroked his beard and said: "This place belonged to the ancient Ba Kingdom, near Wuxi, which is very likely the Wuxian Country mentioned in the Classic of Mountains and Seas."
"The Kingdom of Ba thrived on its salt, unprocessed and plain, it was their trade, not farming, they relied on the salt trade to live without worries, thus it was called 'salt of Ba'. Eventually, they perished because of it."
