As an archaeologist, Cao Manwen naturally knows a lot about the history of cultural relics.

Once upon a time, there were many exquisite and beautiful cultural relics in the country, but in the war years, these cultural relics were lost overseas. Some of them were looted by the army, and some were stolen by wealthy businessmen and researchers who claimed to be cultural relics protectors in the name of protection and placed them in museums and display cabinets in their own countries.

To this day, they are still proud of it.

This made Cao Manwen very angry.

All of a sudden, he understood the idea that Lu Ban wanted to express in this movie.

He used the mouths of these people with special powers to denounce those who tried to steal our country's cultural relics!

No wonder this movie isn’t shown abroad!

Although Cao Manwen doesn’t understand movies, he understands cultural relics!

Unlike in foreign countries, domestic literary and artistic expression emphasizes subtlety.

Sometimes it talks about the rise and fall of a big family, but in fact it is writing about an era through the people in the mansion.

Sometimes it talks about the life experiences of the actors, but in fact it expresses the joys and sorrows of life through opera.

So, Lu Ban’s movie, on the surface, is about the competition among people with supernatural powers in times of war, but in fact it is about the battles fought by craftsmen to protect cultural relics.

Wonderful!

So much so that the various strange and bizarre supernatural powers that people in the Nine Traditions displayed in order to obtain the token were, in Cao Manwen's view, the various skills of the craftsmen.

Thinking of this, Cao Manwen still lamented that he was too young. You see, Professor Hu saw it at first sight, and he is still waiting for you, a young man, to figure it out.

In the movie, Lu Ban walked up the stairs and walked towards the cave step by step.

Cao Manwen had a subtle sense of déjà vu.

This feeling is just like when Lu Ban went up to the attic in "Haruhi no Shinobi", something big is about to happen.

Then, Lu Ban walked into the cave sealed by Xuanjun, saw the books on the table, saw the corpse, and saw the text.

[The dead pay tribute to those who are dying]

After reading this, Cao Manwen already understood.

Xuanjun is not some extraordinary person, but a candle, a torch, and firewood.

Just like amber, only by igniting Xuanjun's life can this world continue.

The only difference is that Xuanjun can linger on until his life is exhausted, and that those who become Xuanjun choose this path themselves.

But why?

Cao Manwen didn't know why these people would choose to inherit this position after witnessing all this instead of running away, staying away from Jiangcheng Mountain, and never being involved in these extraordinary powers again.

But looking at Professor Hu, he seemed to understand again.

Indeed, in such war-torn times, and even in the long-standing historical wars, those talented people could survive on their own.

People who have a certain amount of power can live and work in peace and contentment far away from disputes and ignore what is happening outside.

But some people still stood up.

Sacrifice your life and shed your blood just to fight for an ideal future.

What are they doing it for?

Cao Manwen didn’t quite understand, but he seemed to understand.

He didn't know who this original Xuanjun was. He was nameless and no one knew his identity.

But he could be anyone.

Lu Ban was studying the history of Xuanjun in a book when suddenly, the earth shook.

The camera turned and came to the foreign research team.

They dug into the mountain and found a tunnel that looked like it was drilled by a giant worm, and discovered a hidden cave.

After entering the cave, they found a coffin and immediately asked someone to push the coffin open.

Seeing this, Cao Manwen couldn't help but curse in his heart. Such behavior was undoubtedly courting death, and a big one at that!

They already know that there is a monster buried in this mountain, but they still want to touch the seal. Is the hard work passed down by the Nine Traditions for so many generations going to be destroyed by these people?

At the same time, several people who stayed in the temple also encountered abnormal situations.

The stone statue seemed to be inspired by something. Suddenly, the stone on its surface peeled off, and the statue that looked lifelike actually turned into a monster!

The plot suddenly became fantastical.

Seeing the monster with its tentacles constantly wriggling, Cao Manwen's scalp went numb and goose bumps appeared all over his body.

He had never seen such a creature before. No, it was not a creature. There was definitely no such creature on Earth. Everything about this monster seemed to be the embodiment of malice. The wriggling tentacles, the tiny teeth spreading out of its nostrils, and the four sharp eyes were all torturing the audience's hearts.

What Stephen was thinking now was, if I am guilty, please let God punish me instead of letting me see this kind of thing.

When he saw the previous part of the plot, he felt that Lu Ban had ulterior motives. Why was it wrong to explore the unknown for justice? Those foreigners did in fact improve the level of the psychics, so why not?

But seeing this, the previous idea has been completely abandoned.

He just wanted these damn monsters to disappear from his sight as soon as possible.

Puff——

The statue was knocked down by the stone smashed by Tang Que, but a large number of insects wriggling like earthworms swarmed out of its brain. These insects were the same as those that He Chong saw with his Yin-Yang eyes on the mountain trail before.

These bugs are the followers of the sealed and suppressed evil god, and this entire mountain is his tomb.

Stephen felt his stomach aching. If it were just the picture, it wouldn't have been so serious. But Lu Ban's movie seemed to have some strange magic that made Stephen feel like he was there.

It was as if he was not sitting in a movie theater, but was in the damp, sultry and eerie mountains of Jiangcheng, facing these indescribable creatures.

He even saw the tentacles extending out from the screen, very close to him.

He clearly heard some low screams coming from the cinema. He also held on to the handrails, and kept telling himself that it was just a movie. However, his brain believed it, but his body did not. Trembling took over his body, from his fingertips to his spine. The electric-like shudder spread from the huge, elephant-like monster, making Stephen's scalp numb and his teeth chattering wildly.

If there were such a monster in reality, Stephen thought, he would have gone crazy the first time he saw it, constantly escaping from reality, and death would be the only thing he should do.

The foreign soldiers on the big screen also fell into frenzy and found it difficult to resist. The few who were determined took up their guns and fired two shots at the monsters, but when they saw there was no effect, they gave up resistance and killed themselves with bullets.

However, the descendants of Jiuliu were not afraid. They used their own strength to deal with those monsters.

In this crazy world, they are like the only light of reason, supporting Stephen and all the audience.

And those foreigners who found the place where the evil god was sealed also entered the temple at this moment.
