Entertainment: I have a cultural star from the future

In the endless yellow sand, huge groups composed of various foreign nations passed through the huge city gates of the heavily guarded border town and gathered in Chang'an, the capital of the Tang Dynasty.

Each horse was loaded with tribute.

Bang—(The Great Tang Dynasty: Rites, Music, Benevolence, and Harmony, by Feng Wei)

bang——

At this moment, the audience who were immersed in the vast land shown in front of the camera were suddenly awakened by a heavy music, and everyone's scalp was numb from the soundtrack.

Audience: [I was shocked! This music is amazing!]

The camera swept across these tribute-paying teams, across hills and rivers, through golden fields, and across the rosy-cheeked Tang people.

After flying thousands of miles, we arrived in front of a huge and solemn city.

At the city gate, people crowded into Chang'an City.

Dong Dong——…… (Original tune of “Tang Palace Elegant Music”)

At this moment, the music suddenly became light and lively——

Amidst the cheerful music, the sounds of city dwellers shouting and children acting coquettishly, the place was extremely lively.

Liu Youming stood on the street with his left hand behind his back, stroking his beard with his right hand, and looking at the people who lived and worked in peace and contentment during the prosperous Tang Dynasty with a smile on his face.

The audience was stunned——

[No, isn't this Yi Xin, the one with the stutter? Wasn't it rumored that he was scolded so much that he quit the entertainment industry?]

Liu Youming's servant, holding the horse, looked at him and said, "Master, where are we going to live?"

Liu Youming shook his head and said, "Don't worry, there will naturally be a place to go—"

[The rhythm of this speech is a bit strange, but why is it not annoying?]

After a while, a team of Jinwu Guards wearing golden armor came over.

"Are you Liu Youming?"

Liu Youming bowed and said, "It's me!"

The leader of the Jinwu Guards waved his hand and said, "Capture him!"

Liu Youming was stunned: "Hey! What happened? Is there any misunderstanding? I came to Chang'an to take up a post——"

The next shot is Liu Youming and the servant sitting on the straw-covered floor of the cell.

The audience was also shocked by this sudden change. They had just witnessed the prosperity of the Tang Dynasty. Liu Youming was full of ambition and was about to enter the officialdom and realize his grand plans, but he was thrown into prison.

Audience: [What a huge contrast! Poor Liu Youming!]

"Master, is this the place you mentioned?" the servant asked with a sad face.

The audience was also amused by the book boy's words.

"Oh~" Liu Youming didn't say anything, just sighed.

After a while, a young general in silver armor stood outside their cell.

Liu Youming was startled, he got up and squinted at the person in front of him, he didn't recognize him.

"Who are you?" Liu Youming asked doubtfully.

"I am Du Yufeng of the Mengzhou Du family," the young general replied with a proud expression. (This story is purely fictional, just for fun. Please don't take the names of people and places too seriously!)

"Oh~ Little General, can you tell me what crime Liu committed and why——" Liu Youming pointed to the cell.

Naturally, the question is why he was thrown into prison.

When Du Yufeng saw that Liu Youming knew nothing about him, a look of anger and embarrassment flashed across his face.

"Humph!" Du Yufeng suddenly took out an imperial edict, "Liu Youming, accept it!"

Liu Youming and the servant boy quickly knelt down and prostrated themselves on the ground.

In a series of imperial edicts, Liu Youming only heard words such as "deceiving superiors and concealing the truth from subordinates" and "exiled to Yangzhou".

After reading the imperial edict, Du Yufeng left with a cold face.

The servant boy burst into tears: "I haven't even had time to enjoy happiness yet, and now I'm being exiled to a bitter and cold place."

Liu Youming was watching Du Yufeng leave with a puzzled look on his face. Upon hearing the servant's words, he turned around and said angrily, "I worked so hard to teach you to study, and you've learned nothing? Yangzhou is a wealthy place, how can you say it's bitter and cold?"

The audience also reacted to this and started laughing. This show is quite interesting.

The doubt was sown from the beginning. Why was a good person exiled for no reason?

The next shot is of Liu Youming and his servant leading horses and running towards a deserted temple in the heavy rain.

Liu Youming looked at the sky. It was already dark and not suitable for traveling. The two of them could only spend the night in the deserted temple.

He wrinkled his nose. There was a pungent smell in the deserted temple. The ground was covered with straw and was sticky.

The servant boy looked at the ruined temple and felt a little scared.

Not only was he afraid, but the audience was a little scared too, always feeling that something would suddenly rush out.

In the middle of the night, the master and servant who were taking a nap together were suddenly awakened by the sound of footsteps. Liu Youming opened his eyes, but saw a man with a ferocious face staring at him.

The servant boy screamed in fear.

This sudden change also shocked the audience: [Oh my god, I’m so scared!]

"Ghost!!!"

Liu Youming stood up in fear, touched his chest, pointed at the person in front of him and said, "Who is playing tricks?"

When he looked clearly, he saw that it was a man with a disabled leg, wearing a ghost mask to scare them.

The man seemed a little crazy, limping along while laughing and chanting: "Send a child, send a child!"

Liu Youming looked at the headless statue with a strange expression: "Is this the statue of the god of fertility?"

Then he saw that the statue seemed to be holding a child's head in its hands, and he stepped back in shock.

The audience was also startled by the close-up shot! [Oh my god, there’s a child’s head!]

When Liu Youming came to his senses, he realized that he had seen it wrong. It turned out to be just a lifelike head made of clay.

"Is the body of this child statue gone?" the servant boy asked curiously.

Liu Youming stared at him without saying anything.

The madman finally fell asleep when it was almost dawn. Liu Youming and the servant walked out of the dilapidated temple with tired faces. They had not been able to sleep all night because of the noise made by the madman.

The two were tired and hungry, and finally they reached a village.

Liu Youming met a man carrying firewood and asked for some food.

The man smiled and agreed generously, and took the two of them back to his home. The villagers here saw strangers coming to the village and came out to look at the two.

After a simple meal, Liu Youming sat in the yard to rest and saw nearly thirty people surrounding the man's yard and looking at them, including old people, men and women.

Liu Youming looked at the dozen or so farmhouses nearby and talked to the man about the dilapidated temple. The man laughed and said that it was the Temple of Childbirth. It had been in disrepair for many years and was deserted. It was an abandoned temple.

Liu Youming smiled and looked at the villagers around him.

One viewer complained: "The way these people look at me makes me feel creepy!"

"Master, let's go!" The servant boy felt uneasy and whispered to Liu Youming.

"Well, let's go!" Liu Youming quickly stood up, thanked the man, and left with his servant.

As soon as they walked out of the village, they fainted.

When Liu Youming woke up again, he found himself in the deserted temple where he had stayed before.

He was tied up with ropes. When he looked up, he found that the servant was tied up and placed on a large altar with two huge candles lit.

The area was filled with all the villagers I had seen in the village before.

The man who had entertained them before was holding a bone-chopping knife in his hand, as if he was going to kill the servant.
