Chapter 206: Identical Murals
"Sister Zhaozhao, whose coffin do you think is inside?"
Xu Zhao regained consciousness and heard Jin Suiran asking, who was following closely behind her.
"I guess it's most likely the Moon Country's God of War, Chen Yu."
"Chen Yu? Is it the Chen Yu in the short story we filmed before?" She didn't have a deep impression of the name Chen Yu, and it took her a long time to remember it.
When Xu Zhao and his team were filming the short story segment, Jin Suiran and his group were also in the preparation stage. He only found out what Xu Zhao's group was acting out afterwards.
"That's right."
Xu Zhao continued walking forward.
Everything was arranged freely in the dark, and after going around in circles, it turns out that all of this was carefully arranged by myself.
After entrusting the white jade mandarin duck pendant to the abbot of Baoguo Temple, Xu Zhao and Chu Ruo returned to the palace.
As her mission was completed, Xu Zhao said goodbye to Shen Lingge. After Xu Zhao said he was leaving, the mature boy could not help but take off his disguise, hugged Xu Zhao and expressed his reluctance.
All good things must come to an end. This time I leave, I’m afraid we’ll never see each other again.
Before leaving, Xu Zhao reminded Shen Lingge of some things, and she believed that Shen Lingge would complete them well.
After saying goodbye to Shen Lingge and Chu Ruo, Xu Zhao sat alone in the side hall and took out a dagger. This dagger was exactly the same as the one that was placed in front of Shen Yu. I don’t know if it was made uniformly in the palace.
Just like that, Xu Zhao pulled out the dagger and stabbed his own heart without blinking. It was so fast and accurate that he soon lost consciousness.
Xu Zhao touched his left chest. Perhaps because he knew that he could never go back to ancient times again, his heart felt uncomfortable at the moment. It was empty and aching from time to time.
This is probably the aftereffect of time travel.
To facilitate filming, two cameramen, one of whom carried a camera and walked in front, gave the audience an immersive feeling and allowed them to imagine themselves entering the tomb within a tomb at the moment.
The other photographer walked at the end, trying to fit all the guests in front into the camera.
It’s a pity that the corridor is narrow and everyone is walking in front and behind, so there will always be someone who will be blocked by the people behind.
The corridor was not long. The archaeologists walked into the new tomb chamber, followed by six guests and staff from the program team.
Zheng Wen gave remote commands through images transmitted back by the camera.
"Quick, one person will take pictures of the six guests, and one person will follow the experts and shoot in the direction of their flashlights."
The two photographers divided the work.
The layout of this new tomb is exactly the same as the one outside. There is also a circle of murals on the walls. A coffin is placed in the center of the tomb. The specifications of the coffin are not as good as the one outside, but the coffin is also carved with exquisite patterns. Because the tomb has just been opened, the coffin still retains rich colors.
Archaeologists and their students were shocked by the scene before them. This was the first time in archaeological history that a tomb within a tomb appeared, and the tomb inside was of exactly the same specifications as the main tomb chamber outside.
You know, the main tomb chamber outside is the emperor's mausoleum, so who is buried in the tomb chamber we are in now?
Wang Duo calmly instructed his students, "Quick, take pictures. Take pictures of the coffin patterns and upload them to the terminal."
He first instructed the students standing on his left to take photos of the coffin, and then instructed the students standing on his right, "I'll hold the flashlight, and you take photos of the murals on top. The murals are very good evidence for our research on the history of that time."
Everyone got busy, except for a few guests who stood at the entrance of the tomb, at a loss.
"Sister Zhaozhao, you are very knowledgeable, why don't you tell us about the murals above." Tang Qianshuo felt that just standing there was not a solution. These archaeologists probably wouldn't pay any attention to them now. The camera was still filming, so he had to find something to do.
Qiao Zhijing also spoke up, "That's right, Zhaozhao, take us to have a look from a distance, and let's all use our imagination to guess what the murals mean."
Qiao Zhijing put it more tactfully. Even though Xu Zhao was indeed more knowledgeable than the other guests, she was also a layman when it came to archaeology. If she were left alone to speak, she would surely be ridiculed by netizens, who would say she was making things up. It would be better to let her bring the guests along and have everyone guess together. This way she could explain to the netizens and also avoid jokes caused by everyone's unprofessionalism.
It's just a casual remark. If netizens take it seriously, then it's their problem.
[That’s great, you can finally take us to see the murals. 】
[It is indeed a bit boring to watch it alone without anyone to guide you. 】
[Everyone participated in this activity together, and they were all the first people to see this new tomb chamber. 】
[After watching today's program, I suddenly felt that archaeology is so great, and discovering new tombs gives me a great sense of accomplishment. I have decided that I will apply to study archaeology in college! 】
"Okay," Xu Zhao immediately understood Qiao Zhijing's intention and smiled at him to express his gratitude, "Then let's start from here."
Xu Zhao pointed at the mural next to the entrance.
Like the one outside, the mural at the entrance also depicts a child.
"This should be easy to guess. It should be about the birth of the owner of the coffin." Qiao Zhijing spoke first. He has the highest status and the most fans among the group. If he guessed first, netizens would naturally not say much. If there were any black fans, his fans would fight back at the first time to reduce the harm to others as much as possible.
Everyone walked towards the next mural. There are two people painted on the mural, one looks to be only four or five years old, and the other looks to be seventeen or eighteen years old. They are standing in a place that looks like a pavilion.
The older one was holding something in his hand, which looked like a plate of cakes. The two of them were sitting upright, and the younger one had a smile on his face, as if welcoming his older brother.
In the next scene, the older boy was lying in the pavilion, while the younger one looked terrified.
The mural continues, with the older child lying on the bed, a man and a woman sitting beside them, and a group of people kneeling in front of them.
"How strange." Tang Qianshuo felt inexplicably familiar with this mural after seeing it.
Lin Yuan looked at Xu Zhao in shock.
He has seen the story told in this painting!
It was in the short story we performed before!
It cannot be said to be similar, it can only be said to be exactly the same.
This scene was performed by children and was about another group's story, but she was watching in front of the monitor at the time, waiting for the next scene, so she was deeply impressed by this scene.
This is the story told by Concubine Su!
But isn’t that a story?
How did it appear on the mural?
Xu Zhao felt the strange gazes around her and looked around. When she met Lin Yuan's inquiring gaze, she just put her finger to her lips and made a gesture to keep quiet.
In fact, she didn't expect Qinghe to paint this incident on the mural.
I originally planned to let him finish it on his own, but I didn't expect this kid to draw it in such detail.
Not only Lin Yuan noticed it, Jin Suiran also noticed it. She tugged at Xu Zhao's protective suit in shock, but did not say anything.
It’s a pity that there are so many people here and the cameras are filming all the time, otherwise she really wants to chat with Sister Zhaozhao.
The program was broadcasted first, and then similar murals appeared in the ancient tomb. If this tomb had not been opened for the first time in front of everyone, she would have suspected whether Sister Zhao Zhao knew the inside information of this tomb.
I thought maybe it was just a coincidence.
Xu Zhao could feel the restlessness of the person behind her. She leaned sideways and held Jin Suiran's hand with her backhand, patting it gently to comfort her.
Compared with the murals in the outer tomb chambers, there are far fewer murals in this tomb chamber. It can be seen that the owner of this tomb did not have much life experience.
Everyone came to the next mural.
"This painting shows the owner of the tomb fighting at the border." Xu Zhao said frankly that this is something that anyone with a discerning eye can see.
This time, not only Lin Yuan and others noticed something was wrong, but Qiao Zhijing and Tang Qianshuo also noticed it. They also looked at Xu Zhao with inquiring eyes, but in order not to be noticed, they quickly looked away, and the seeds of doubt were also planted in their hearts.
【? ? ? 】
【? ? ? 】
【? ? ? 】
Why are so many people asking questions? 】
[I am just following the trend and asking questions.] 】
[You fake fans must not have watched the previous episode. Those who have watched the previous episode will definitely understand why we put a question mark. 】
[I watched the live broadcast. Isn’t the live broadcast more exciting than the edited one? So why do you put a question mark? 】
[Go watch the previous episode yourself!] ! ! 】
The archaeologists moved very slowly. Archaeology is a delicate job that requires extreme carefulness. Until Xu Zhao and others had finished looking at all the murals, their work was not even half done.
Because a new tomb chamber was discovered, Xu Jingheng, who was originally responsible for showing them around, had no time to pay attention to them. In order not to delay the experts' research, Qiao Zhijing decided to leave and signaled Xu Zhao to say hello to Teacher Xu.
When they came in, Qiao Zhijing was remembering the way, and when they went out, he was the one leading the team.
Back on the ground, Zheng Wen stood up from in front of the monitor.
He concluded: "Today's recording ends here, and our variety show is also coming to an end. If you want to learn more about history, remember to follow the official Weibo of City A Museum. If you want to observe cultural relics up close, you must visit City A Museum. The museum is free to visit by appointment. It will be closed on Monday, so don't go empty-handed."
The camera cut to several guests again. After everyone said a few promotional words, the stage manager clocked out and turned off the phone.
[No!] ! 】
【Goodbye, woooo ...
[I’m so reluctant to leave you all!] 】
[This program is great. Can the national television station produce more variety shows like this? I love watching it! 】
[That’s right, can we have more variety shows like this that are both educational and entertaining! 】
As today's shooting was all over, the photographers turned off their cameras.
All the guests got on the sightseeing bus, left the archaeological area, and returned to the hotel.
The audience has to say goodbye no matter how reluctant they are.
Many viewers didn’t know why so many people put question marks at the beginning, so they started to look through the previous episodes after being prompted.
That evening, "New Arrivals, History" was on several Weibo trending searches.
#《New History》Discovering a Tomb in a Tomb#
#Xu Zhao a woman with a key#
#《New History》Short Story#
#The short story turned out to be a mural in a tomb#
#The guests of "New History" have changed their expressions#
…
In fact, when Director Zheng saw the mural in the daytime, he had a hunch that today's hot searches would be unusual. Unexpectedly, their program would appear on so many hot searches at once, which was a complete hit.
As for why it became so popular, he could guess a little.
New tombs appeared during the recording, which is one of the highlights.
The murals in the tomb are very similar to the stories they filmed before. This is the second highlight and also the hot topic of tonight.
Looking at the topic that was getting more and more popular, Zheng Wen didn't know how to tell others that all this was just a coincidence.
If it were him, he probably wouldn't accept the explanation of coincidence.
Zheng Wen was not the only one who saw the hot search, other guests also saw it.
After returning to the hotel, everyone wanted to ask Xu Zhao questions that they had been holding back all the way, but before anyone could open their mouths, Xu Zhao said he had something to do and left.
Fortunately, there was a group among the guests, and Zheng Wen was also in it, a total of seven people.
According to the group, there is no need to worry about others taking screenshots and posting them online.
If today's chat records really appeared on the Internet, there would only be a few suspects, and it would be very easy to find out who did it.
After seeing the trending search, Tang Qianshuo was the first one who couldn’t help but ask directly in the group.
Tang Qianshuo: Sister Zhaozhao, there is a conflict between our script and the mural.
After seeing the message, Xu Zhao replied with a "yeah".
But they must not be repetitive. What she wrote is true historical events, and what is painted on the murals are also true historical events.
Since they are all true stories, they are the same.
Jin Suiran: Sister Zhaozhao, are you hiding something from us, such as any special abilities or something like that? Just tell us in secret and we will definitely not report you as not a normal person.
Xu Zhao: ...
It’s really tied up!
Lin Yuan couldn't help but stick his head out: Zhao Zhao, actually I wanted to ask you during the day. The first one could be a coincidence, but the second one is hard to explain.
Because they saw the surprising murals during the day, all the guests except Xu Zhao took the time to watch the short story filmed in the previous episode.
The only difference is that in the story of Qiao Zhijing and Tang Qianshuo, there is an additional character of a goddess in a dream, while there is a real woman in the mural. As for the other contents, they are exactly the same as in the mural.
This was also something that troubled Xu Zhao. She had already agreed with Qinghe not to let her show up, but this guy just didn't listen. She first appeared in the mural in her own tomb, and then appeared in the mural in Shen Yu's tomb.
If this group of archaeological experts kept on dwelling on it, they would probably spend a lot of time and effort to research it, but they would not be able to find out anything, and in the end it would be a waste of time.
Xu Zhao also didn't expect that the previous short story was originally intended to showcase Chen Yu and let modern audiences know that he was a brave and combative general.
It turned out that the murals in the tomb also depicted similar content. She had never told Qinghe what she wanted to paint, but she didn't expect that they would come up with the same idea.
But now, Xu Zhao can only use the same old excuse.
Xu Zhao: Since I participated in this program, I don’t know if it’s because I thought about it during the day and dreamed about it at night, but I dreamed about these scenes for several nights, and finally strung them together into several stories.
