Chapter 228: Mountain People Watching a Movie

In an instant, dazzling scenes appeared on the white curtain, and at the same time, deafening and grand music rang in everyone's ears.

What is this sound?
Everyone's faces were suddenly filled with horror. The scene before them shocked and even frightened the mountain dwellers who had never left the mountain in their lives!

"what is that?"

"There's a ghost!"

"Mountain God, it's the Mountain God who has appeared!"

"No, that's hell!"

Many people screamed, trembled all over, cried and shouted, and the whole scene became chaotic in an instant.

Many mountain villagers were so frightened that their legs went weak and they didn't even have the courage to escape.

Dao Han was also amazed. This was the moving picture that the peddler had described. He had heard the peddler describe it in such vivid detail, but he had not expected that it would be so shocking when he saw it with his own eyes!
Such a scene is simply beyond my imagination!

He had no idea where those images and sounds came from.

Zhao Hanzhong and the officials from the Xuanwei Office in the car were very calm. They were already accustomed to such scenes.

The promotion of movies to the countryside was specially ordered by His Majesty to all provincial governments and officials, and it must be carried out without fail. The more remote the mountainous areas, the more emphasis should be placed on publicity.

Almost every time this documentary is played in a mountain village, it will cause panic and riot among the local mountain people. However, as they gradually get used to it, they will be deeply attracted by its content.

Not to mention the mountain people who were watching it for the first time, even the officials who were specifically responsible for broadcasting the show never tired of watching it.

If nothing else, the picture and the music alone are enough to shock the heart.

Moreover, after each broadcast, the people’s response was extremely enthusiastic, and they all asked to play it again.

At the very least, the magical effect of this projector made their loyalty to the court increase rapidly!
It was even rumored that this was a magical weapon from a god, and that there were gods in the court, and the people believed it without a doubt.

Although scholars are not supposed to talk about strange and supernatural things, the projector was indeed too magical and completely beyond imagination, forcing Zhao Hanzhong and others to think in that direction.

During the previous screenings, there were many hilarious jokes. The documentary features many beautiful women from ancient China who have been passed down to the present day.

For example, the four beauties like Xi Shi and Diao Chan, and famous prostitutes like Li Shishi, are all played by actresses who were carefully selected. Each of them has an elegant figure and is as beautiful as a fairy. Coupled with the gorgeous costumes and props, as well as the highly artistic camera language, it is not an exaggeration to describe it as a paradise on earth.

The people in the mountains have to deal with their own wives or the young girls and wives in the village all day long. They have never seen such a wonderful sight!
How can there be such a beautiful woman in this world?

Even many young unmarried people who were hot-tempered had nosebleeds on the spot.

Many women in the mountains feel ashamed in front of the beauties on the screen, and then get angry when they see their men looking like pigs.

The men present were so fascinated by the documentary that after it was over, before they could savor it, they were dragged back home by their wives.

Later, according to the chieftain and the headman who came to the provincial government for business, on the night after the documentary was shown, the village was filled with laughter and laughter, as if they were competing to see who could shout louder and more cheerfully.

This made Zhao Hanzhong sigh that the women of the Southwestern Yi were really bold and fierce. There was even a man who followed wherever the documentary was shown, just to take another look at the four beauties. If his wife hadn't grabbed his ears and threatened to break his legs, he would have followed this time.

At this moment, the special effects animation of Pangu creating the world was playing on the projector screen. The scene of creation really shocked the mountain people, and many of them almost wet their pants with fear.

Some people have even raised hoes, sickles and other tools, ready to fight to the death with the curtain.

At this moment, Tusi Yanwen's face was completely stunned, his eyes were full of astonishment, and there was deep fear!
The first beam of light emitted by the projector was like a thunderbolt, striking his brain. Then, the sound effect like a landslide exploded in his ears, making him feel as if he heard the soul-calling Sanskrit chant, and he was completely unable to move.

An indescribable fear slowly rose from the depths of his heart until it occupied his entire brain. The scene of the sky collapsing and the earth splitting in the picture was as terrifying as the hell in Buddhism!
At this moment, there was only one thought in his mind: was the Ming Dynasty court a god or a devil? What kind of magical power was it using?
When he thought about going against such a terrifying court, he felt cold sweat breaking out, and a deep chill ran straight from the top of his forehead to his heels.

You will go to hell!
Li Cang and Ruan Chengping on the side were even more stunned, their faces were pale, their legs became weak, and their whole bodies were shaking.

When have they ever seen such a scene?
Li Cang tried hard to control the fear in his heart and tried to calm himself down. He took deep breaths, but his heart beat faster and faster. He dug his flesh with his nails so hard that it almost made him bleed.

The mountain people were becoming more and more terrified, and seeing that the situation was about to get out of control, Zhao Hanzhong very experiencedly paused the video, then waved his hand, signaling everyone to calm down.

"My fellow countrymen, there is no need to be afraid. What you see are just pictures, and what you hear are the sounds played on the pictures. Although these pictures are very magical, they will not cause any harm to you. Just think of it as watching a magical show.

The content displayed inside also presents thousands of years of Chinese history. This is the love of His Majesty the Emperor who is far away in Yingtian Prefecture for the people of the world. He is thinking about you in his heart.

It is also to let his people understand the origin of China, and know that the Han people, Baiyi and even Jiuli are originally one family. This picture is a re-interpretation of this history.

Several villages and tribes have watched this before you, so don't worry."

Zhao Hanzhong's words made everyone feel a little relieved, and then Zhao Hanzhong pressed the play button to continue playing.

The people in the mountains could not understand Mandarin, which was similar to the northern languages. The Xuanwei Office had experience with this. Every time a film was screened in the mountains, it would be accompanied by officials who understood the local dialect and would explain it while it was playing.

As the pictures continued to flow, the mountain people gradually immersed themselves in them, and made exclamations from time to time.

They learned how the Central Plains dynasty came to be, and that as early as the Han Dynasty, the ancient Dian Kingdom had submitted to Emperor Wu of Han. It was at that time that they and the Central Plains became one family.

Unconsciously, the mountain people began to feel that they were part of China. The conquests of the Central Plains dynasties made their blood boil, and gradually ignited the idea of ​​sacrificing their lives for the country and making great achievements in their hearts.

The decline of dynasties and the displacement of people also made them feel suppressed and painful, as if they were the people in the paintings.

The scene of the Han Dynasty conquering the Wolf's Lair made them excited, the prosperous Tang Dynasty made them yearn for it, and the beautiful and graceful women also made them restless.

They cheered for Zhuge Liang's seven captures of Meng Huo, and shed tears for Kong Ming's death at Wuzhangyuan.

They felt sorry for Yue Wumu who died on a false charge, and they also hated the treacherous minister Qin Hui. Many people even shouted to kill the traitor, and the scene was filled with noise.

And when they saw at the end that the current Emperor started out as a wandering beggar and ended up expelling the original court and establishing the Ming Dynasty, they cheered even more.

After the documentary was finished, all the villagers shouted that they wanted to watch it again. Zhao Hanzhong was no longer surprised. Amid everyone's strange gazes, he erected the solar panel, pointed it at the sun, and started playing the documentary again.
