Zhou Nanyan: "Correct answer!"

Jin Suiran was stunned by her blind guess. She said happily, "You got it right! No wonder I feel so creepy looking at the terracotta warriors."

"Two thousand years ago, during the Zhou Dynasty, burying people with the dead became a custom. Later, due to the tyranny of the last emperor of the Zhou Dynasty, who killed innocent people indiscriminately, the country was torn apart and plagued by war. After the situation stabilized, the mainland was divided into four countries. It was during this period that people began to create a variety of human figurines using pottery, jade, wood, bronze, and other objects."

"The use of large-scale terracotta figurines for burial replaced the practice of human sacrifice. Human sacrifice was completely abolished during the Yu Dynasty. It is through the use of these terracotta figurines that we can more directly understand the clothing preferences of people of that period."

Xu Zhao clapped his hands for Jin Suiran and gave her a thumbs up. Jin Suiran curved her lips and smiled, feeling a little embarrassed. She was lucky.

Zhou Nanyeon used this pottery figurine to explain to everyone the burial methods that have existed since ancient times.

"Next question," Zhou Nanyan drew the first card and put it back. He looked at the second card, "The Blood Moon Army is famous for their commander wearing a cyan blood moon mask. Why do they wear masks?"

Xu Zhao blinked. Could she say that she knew the answer to this question?

If it weren't for her time travel, she probably wouldn't be able to answer it accurately and would most likely have to rely on guessing.

"Option A is to imitate Lanling King and cover his face, and option B is to prevent the enemy from recognizing him." After Zhou Nanyue finished speaking the options, he counted down to three, two, and one.

All of a sudden, except Xu Zhao, the other five people raised their hands.

They had all seen Jin Suiran's expression just now; she had clearly been guessing. Since they didn't know the answer, they might as well grab the right to answer it. With a 50% chance of guessing correctly, they could earn that point.

Tang Qianshuo is a member of a boy group idol. He has been practicing singing and dancing since he was a child, so his reaction speed is naturally impeccable. As soon as Zhou Nanyue said "one", he raised his hand.

Zheng Wen: "Qian Shuo raised his hand first." This time there was no need for replay, everyone could see that he was faster.

Tang Qianshuo didn't know what to choose. He was so excited that he couldn't remember what option A was. He could only say, "I choose B, so that the enemy won't recognize me."

As soon as he finished speaking, Zhou Nanyan shook his head and said, "I'm sorry, that's the wrong answer."

As a question with two choices, the answer is now obvious. All you have to do next is to get the right to answer and you can get that point.

When the other three heard Zheng Wen say, "Please continue to answer," the remaining four quickly raised their hands.

"Lin Yuan is fast."

Since there was only one answer left, Lin Yuan naturally said without hesitation: "Imitate Lanling Prince and cover up your beauty."

After answering, she brought up the story of Lanling Prince. "It's said that Lanling Prince was handsome, and to avoid being looked down upon by his enemies, he wore a mask. So this commander-in-chief might also have this reason."

Zhou Nanyeon nodded. It seemed that Lin Yuan had read some books to have such knowledge. It seemed that he was not as terrible as the girl in his team said. Celebrities still had some cultural level.

"There are indeed rumors like this. Historical records state that Prince Lanling had a gentle appearance but a strong heart. He was as fair as a beautiful woman, and his appearance was similar to today's 'pretty boys,' but he lacked the 'heroic air' between his eyebrows, which is why he covered his face."

Zhou Nanyeon improved Lin Yuan’s popular science and also expanded this part of history.

This point really went into Lin Yuan's mouth. Zheng Wen: "Lin Yuan scores one point."

Zhou Nanyeon turned over the next card and was about to ask the next question when Xu Zhao raised his hand.

"Director Zhou, is option A necessarily correct? Is there any historical record?"

This question really stumped Zheng Wen. He was speechless and thought to himself: I am not a historian, how would I know?

He looked at Zhou Nanyue who was standing in front of him. These questions were prepared by Director Zhou. The program team only took a rough look at them after they were released. It would be better to leave these academic things to professionals.

Zhou Nanyan shook his head in confusion. "There's no historical record of this, but this is indeed the most likely answer we've come up with so far."

The "we" he mentioned naturally refers to the big names in archaeology and history. There are really too few records of history before the Yu Dynasty. Perhaps in the turbulent times, these things were lost.

"What do you think about this, Zhao Zhao? Just tell us and we'll listen." Zhou Nanyeon asked for some unknown reason, and he regretted it right after he asked.

Xu Zhao had never studied in depth. At most, she had read a few more books at home and listened to her father talk about history. If she was asked such a difficult academic question, she probably wouldn't be able to explain it clearly.

Xu Zhao said slowly, "This blood-red moon mask looks terrifying. I think there must be a reason for it. Is it possible that it's meant to intimidate people?"

Qiao Zhijing has played many roles, many of which have worn masks. After listening to Xu Zhao's thoughts, he thought that this was indeed possible. "If two armies were fighting, it would be scary to see the other side wearing such a terrifying mask."

Xu Zhao shook his finger, "No, no, no, the shock I'm talking about is more than that."

Having experienced that era firsthand, Xu Zhao knew the purpose of this mask better than anyone else. It was just a joke she played on a child, but this was the reason why everyone wore masks.

Zhou Nanyan became interested, "Zhao Zhao, tell me in detail!"

Seeing Uncle Zhou's eyes light up, Xu Zhao continued, "There are so many heroes on the battlefield, and the green face and fangs are naturally meant to intimidate those wandering ghosts and protect these heroes from being bullied by them. With this mask, these heroes will naturally be able to recognize each other on the road to the underworld."

The more Xu Zhaoyue spoke, the weirder the people around her looked at her.

Is this kid probably stupid from studying? Everyone on the show knew that Xu Zhao was invited to participate in this show not only because of her good looks, but more importantly because of her high education and her frequent participation in programs that require brainpower.

Now listen to what weird and supernatural things she talks about, it's getting more and more outrageous.

"Zhao Zhao, we must believe in science," Zheng Wen didn't dare to elaborate on what was said by a highly educated person.

Xu Zhao tilted her head and retorted gently, "Director Zheng, are you talking about science with the ancients? It is said that the Moon Kingdom got its name because they believed in the Moon God. Since it is still a belief, it must be supernatural." Her tone was soft, but with a hint of sarcasm.

This made Zheng Wen embarrassed. He indeed overlooked the fact that the ancients were the most feudal and superstitious.

Knowing that no one would believe her, Xu Zhao couldn't tell everyone that the mask was a lie she had given to Zhao Dabao. She was an eyewitness to that era, so she could only laugh at herself and say, "Just listen to it. I'm just saying it casually, so everyone should just listen to it casually. There is no historical record, so everything is just speculation and can't be true."
