Chapter 37: Believe in Science

Zhou Nanyan: “Correct answer!”

Jin Suiran was stunned when she guessed correctly. She said happily, "It turned out to be correct! No wonder I felt so scared when I looked at the terracotta figurines."

"Two thousand years ago, during the Zhou Dynasty, burying people with the dead became a custom. Later, because the last king of the Zhou Dynasty was tyrannical and killed innocent people, the country was torn apart and there was war and turmoil. After the situation stabilized, the mainland was divided into four countries. It was at this time that people made all kinds of human figurines using pottery, jade, wood, bronze, etc."

"The large-scale use of pottery figurines for burial replaced the practice of killing people for burial. During the Yu Dynasty, human sacrifice was completely abolished. It is through the use of these pottery figurines that we can more directly see the clothing preferences of people of that period."

Xu Zhao clapped his hands for Jin Suiran and gave her a thumbs up. Jin Suiran smiled with curved lips, feeling a little embarrassed. She could be considered a blind cat catching a dead mouse.

Zhou Nanyeon used this pottery figurine to explain to everyone the traditional burial methods since ancient times.

"Next question," Zhou Nanyan drew out the first card and put it back. He looked at the second card, "The Blood Moon Army is famous for its commander wearing a blue blood moon mask. Why do they wear masks?"

Xu Zhao blinked. Could she say that she knew the answer to this question?

If it weren't for the fact that she traveled through time, she probably wouldn't be able to answer it accurately and would most likely have to rely on guessing.

"Option A is to imitate Lanling King and cover his own face. Option B is to prevent the enemy from recognizing him." After Zhou Nanyue finished speaking the options, he counted down to three, two, and one.

All of a sudden, except Xu Zhao, the other five people raised their hands.

They all saw Jin Suiran's appearance just now, and it was obvious that she was just guessing. So since you don’t know the answer, you might as well grab the right to answer the question first. There is a 1 in 2 chance that you can get that point if you guess right.

Tang Qianshuo was a member of a boy band idol and had been practicing singing and dancing since he was a child, so his reaction was naturally impeccable. As soon as Zhou Nanyue said "one", he raised his hand.

Zheng Wen: "Qian Shuo raised his hand first." This time there was no need to replay the video, everyone could see that he was faster.

Tang Qianshuo didn't know what to choose. He was so excited that he couldn't remember what option A was. He could only say, "I choose B, so that the enemy won't recognize me."

As soon as he finished speaking, Zhou Nanyan shook his head and said, "I'm sorry, that's the wrong answer."

As a question with two choices, the answer is now obvious. All you have to do next is to get the right to answer and you can get that point.

When the other three heard Zheng Wen say, "Please continue to answer," the remaining four quickly raised their hands.

"Lin Yuan is fast."

Since there was only one answer left, Lin Yuan naturally said without hesitation: "Follow the example of Lanling King and cover up your beauty."

After answering, she told the story of Lanling King, "It is said that Lanling King has a beautiful appearance, so in order not to be looked down upon by the enemy, he wears a mask, so this commander is likely to be the same reason."

Zhou Nanyue nodded. It seemed that Lin Yuan had read some books to have such knowledge. It seemed that he was not as terrible as the girl in his team said. Celebrities still had some cultural level.

"There is indeed such a rumor. According to historical records, Lanling Wang had a gentle appearance but a strong heart. He was as white as a beautiful woman and looked like a 'pretty boy' today. He lacked a 'heroic spirit' between his eyebrows, so he covered his face."

Zhou Nanyeon improved Lin Yuan’s popular science and also expanded on this part of history.

This point really went into Lin Yuan's mouth. Zheng Wen: "Lin Yuan scores one point."

Zhou Nanyue turned over the next card and was about to ask the next question when Xu Zhao raised his hand.

"Director Zhou, is option A necessarily correct? Is there any historical record?"

This question really stumped Zheng Wen. He was speechless and thought to himself: I am not a historian, how would I know?

He looked at Zhou Nanyue who was standing in front of him. These questions were prepared by Director Zhou. The program team only took a rough look at the questions after they were released. It would be better to leave these academic things to professionals.

Zhou Nanyan shook his head in confusion. "There is no historical record, but this is indeed the most likely answer we have come up with so far."

The "we" he mentioned naturally refers to the big names in archaeology and history. There are really too few records of history before the Yu Dynasty. Perhaps in the turbulent times, these things were lost.

"What does Zhao Zhao think about this? Just tell us and we'll listen." Zhou Nanyue asked this question for some unknown reason and regretted it as soon as he asked it.

Xu Zhao had never studied in depth. At most, she had just read a few more books at home and listened to her father talk about history. If she were asked such a difficult academic question, she probably wouldn't be able to give a clear answer.

Xu Zhao said slowly, "This blue blood moon mask looks terrifying. I think there must be a reason for it. Is there a possibility that it is for intimidation?"

Qiao Zhijing has played many roles, many of which have worn masks. After listening to Xu Zhao's idea, he thought that this was indeed possible. "If two armies were fighting, it would be a bit scary to see the other side wearing such a scary mask."

Xu Zhao shook his finger. "No, no, no, the shock I'm talking about is more than just this."

Having experienced that era firsthand, Xu Zhao knew the purpose of the mask better than anyone else. It was just a joke she played on a child, but this was the reason why everyone wore masks.

Zhou Nanyan became interested, "Zhao Zhao, tell me in detail!"

Seeing Uncle Zhou's eyes light up, Xu Zhao continued, "There are too many heroes on the battlefield, and the green face and fangs are naturally to scare away those wandering ghosts and protect these heroes from being bullied by them. With this mask, these heroes will naturally be able to recognize each other on the road to the underworld."

The more Xu Zhao spoke, the weirder the looks people gave her.

Is this child probably stupid because of studying too much? All the staff members of the program crew present knew that Xu Zhao was invited to participate in this program not only because of her good looks, but more importantly because she has a high level of education and often participates in programs that require brainpower.

Now listen to what weird and supernatural things she talks about, it's getting more and more outrageous.

"Zhao Zhao, we have to believe in science," Zheng Wen didn't dare to elaborate on what was said by a highly educated person.

Xu Zhao tilted her head and retorted in a gentle voice: "Director Zheng, are you talking about science with the ancients? It is said that the Moon Kingdom got its name because they believed in the Moon God. Since it is still a belief, it must be supernatural," her tone was soft, but with a hint of sarcasm.

This made Zheng Wen embarrassed, as he indeed overlooked the fact that the ancients were the most feudal and superstitious.

Knowing that no one would believe it, Xu Zhao could not tell everyone that this mask was a lie she gave to Zhao Dabao. She was an eyewitness of that era, so she could only laugh at herself and said, "Just listen to it. I just said it casually, and everyone just listens casually. There is no historical record, so everything is just speculation and cannot be true."
