The common people were indeed a little shocked: "This is the history museum? It looks even better than those skyscrapers."
"How did the future achieve this? A seemingly dark wood can actually shimmer with light, glistening like a black gemstone under the sun. Oh my, I don't know how to describe it, it's just beautiful, that's all."
"Wow! Look, the shape of this history museum is actually like an open book! How did they manage that?"
"What kind of craftsmen could create such an astonishing marvel for humanity?!"
Amidst the exclamations of the ancient people, Gu Qing took out two tickets for verification, and then the two of them entered the history museum.
The screen immediately flew in front of Gu Sang, presenting the scene of the history museum to everyone.
At the entrance, it was written: "The great river flows east, its waves washing away all traces of history's notable figures."
This single line of poetry, just by looking at it, stirred one's heart and soul.
After the live broadcast room was upgraded, Gu Sang only needed to spend five hundred merit points to exchange for a one-time text translator.
Although it was a bit pricey and single-use, its advantage was that whether it was oracle bone script, modern simplified Chinese, or English, it could be replaced with text that the ancient people could understand.
The history museum had five floors in total, and Gu Sang looked up floor by floor.
"Xia Dynasty, Shang Dynasty, Zhou Dynasty......"
"Goddess, are these the dynasties before your time?"
"Why don't I see our country, could it be......"
A scholar looked at the introduction above, which contained the development history of various countries, but their own dynasty was conspicuously absent.
Not only did this scholar notice this point, but almost all the ancient people watching the live broadcast noticed it too. They were eager to ask Gu Sang.
"Yes, Goddess, why isn't our current country here?"
Faced with the intense gazes of the ancient people, Gu Sang calmly replied: "Because your world is fictional."
"It doesn't belong to any period in history."
"Or you could say, the history of the future world I'm from and your country are two parallel timelines, equivalent to two worlds that can never overlap....."
After hearing Gu Sang's explanation, the crowd let out a long sigh of relief.
Although they didn't fully understand the Goddess's words. freewёbnoνel.com
What did she mean by fictional?
And what was that parallel timeline thing?
However, this didn't prevent them from knowing that their country hadn't been forgotten by history, it just didn't belong to the history of Gu Sang's world.
Perhaps the current dynasty could still continue for hundreds of years, and that was enough!
As for several hundred years later, that wasn't their concern anymore.
Ever since Gu Sang started the live broadcast saying she would take everyone to visit the history museum, Pei Changying's mood had been a mix of anticipation, nervousness, and a hint of reluctance.
He very much wanted to know through Gu Sang what the final outcome of his country was, exactly how many years it had lasted.
But at the same time, he was afraid of hearing the words he least wanted to hear.
He was afraid, afraid that the country would perish under his rule.
If that were the case, how could he face the ancestors of the Pei family?
Pei Changying, with a heart filled with three parts curiosity and seven parts anxiety, looked through the dynasties one by one.
Just as he was about to stand up and ask Gu Sang why, among so many dynasties, the Pei family's reign wasn't written.
And in the next second, he heard Gu Sang give an explanation.
Pei Changying's tight grip on the dragon throne suddenly loosened.
Fortunately, the empire hadn't changed hands!
This, this meant that even Gu Sang didn't know the course of history.
Or was it that Gu Sang's arrival here was to intervene in the course of history?
Pei Changying fell into deep thought.
"Wow! This painting is so good, the characters are lifelike, capturing the bustle and prosperity of the capital city."
"It's almost as if it's alive, the people in it seem like they could move."
"This 'Along the River During the Qingming Festival' is excellent, excellent. The level of detail is astounding. I want to paint something like this too, to be remembered for ages."
"The banquet in the painting looks so lively, it must be a banquet that only those official families could have. But why are those women so plump?"
Under each dynasty, there was a display screen. When people walked by, they could click play on the screen.
It would then show the customs and life of that dynasty.
Gu Sang noticed that the ancient people seemed more interested in the Tang and Song dynasties, so she first walked to the screen of the Song dynasty and clicked play.
A scroll unfolded before the ancient people, and someone immediately recognized it as the "Along the River During the Qingming Festival" that was marked on the wall earlier.
The figures in the painting seemed to come to life.
The sounds of hawkers, conversations, flowing water, and various other noises were continuous...
A few seconds later, the sky gradually darkened, but people on the street were still coming and going.
Several officers came to a wonton shop on the street and ordered a few bowls of wontons.
In the distance on the lake, a light boat came rowing, the sound of oars disturbing a flock of gulls and egrets, which flew towards the moonlit sky.
A woman held up a wine cup and sang:
"As my interest wanes, I return late in my boat, accidentally entering deep into the lotus flowers. Competing to cross, competing to cross, startling a sandbar full of gulls and egrets."
Then the scene changed again, this time to a poet looking up at the moon, and he was heard reciting:
"When will the moon be clear and bright? With a cup of wine in my hand, I ask the blue sky..."
"Men have sorrow and joy; they part or meet again; The moon is bright or dim and she may wax or wane. There has been nothing perfect since the olden days."
"So let us wish that man will live long as he can! Though miles apart, we'll share the beauty she displays."
Each scene transition lasted for about ten seconds, leaving a deep impression while not feeling tedious, as if the viewers were transported into the scenes themselves.
In just ten minutes of video,
The ancient people saw the Song dynasty's emphasis on culture over military might, and witnessed the process of the Song dynasty's journey from prosperity to decline.
Among them were generals who wanted to save the country from crisis, but were stopped by weak emperors, who even secretly passed information to the enemy, ultimately angering the generals to death.
There were also generals who were executed on trumped-up charges, their bodies covered in bloody wounds from torture, but they never admitted to colluding with the enemy or betraying the country.
In the final moment before being beheaded, they could only shout to the heavens: "Heaven sees all!"
Only heaven knew whether they had truly betrayed their country or not!
The crowd of ancient people wept uncontrollably, the weight of history pressing on everyone's heart.
Although the Song dynasty wasn't their era, whether they were nobles or commoners, they all felt saddened by this.
The Elder Princess, rarely showing emotion, shed tears. Her trembling lips revealed a tone of unwavering determination.
"If they were born in this princess's era, I would surely protect them!"
"Those so-called peace negotiations, such humiliating rituals, trading our own people for temporary peace - I absolutely cannot do it!"
"The current emperor executes loyal generals and virtuous officials, personally reciting self-incriminating edicts to the enemy to beg for peace. How shameful, how disheartening, how painful."
"I will not let our heroes die in vain, their sacrifices forgotten!"
Zhou Qichen and General Qin stood behind the Elder Princess. Hearing her impassioned words, they exchanged glances of trust as they gazed at her back.
They believed that if the Elder Princess were in charge, those loyal ministers and capable generals would surely be protected!
