"Hall of Yama, Judge?" Wumeng Tianlong almost laughed out loud, "Who came up with this childish name? I'm afraid he's read too many online novels!" Zhaoyang Ruyue glared at him fiercely, signaling him to pay attention to the occasion.

It’s already this late, and you still have the mind to complain!

The judge ignored Wumeng Tianlong's teasing and pulled a scroll from his sleeve, holding it high above his head. "This is evidence of a conspiracy between the Pu tribe wizards and the enemy nation! They are attempting to use evil sorcery to control the ancient Dian Kingdom!"

The crowd was in an uproar.

Priest Huangfu took the opportunity to fan the flames: "Your Majesty, such people who spread rumors and mislead the people must not be tolerated!"

Sima scholars and Zhuge historians also echoed and demanded severe punishment for the Pu tribe wizard.

For a time, the situation was extremely unfavorable for the Pu people.

Xia Hou Gong stamped his feet in anxiety: "What nonsense! This is clearly a frame-up!" However, his voice was quickly drowned out by the noise of the crowd.

Tuoba Dancer gritted his teeth, a determined glint in his eyes.

She knew that if the situation could not be reversed today, Pu culture would be really over!

"Shut up!" The queen shouted angrily, shocking the whole audience.

Her sharp eyes swept across the crowd, finally landing on Tuoba Dancer: "Tuoba Dancer, do you have anything to say?"

The Tuoba dancer took a deep breath and said loudly, "Your Majesty, I am willing to use dance to prove the innocence of the Pu tribe!"

She walked to the center of the sacrificial square and danced gracefully to the sound of drums.

Her dancing is sometimes as light as a swallow, sometimes as unrestrained as fire, showing the essence of Pu culture to the fullest.

The people were gradually attracted by her dance, and their original panic gradually dissipated.

They began to doubt whether the conspiracy the judge mentioned really existed.

After the dance, the whole audience fell silent.

Immediately afterwards, thunderous applause resounded through the sky.

The judge's face turned pale. He didn't expect that the Tuoba dancer's dance could be so contagious.

At this moment, a guard hurried to the queen and whispered something in her ear.

The Queen's expression changed slightly...

After hearing the guard's whisper, the queen's face suddenly changed, and then she regained her composure, with even a barely perceptible smile on the corner of her mouth.

She spoke slowly, her voice resounding like a bell throughout the square: "Everyone, I have just received news that the so-called 'evidence' is actually forged!"

There was an uproar in the square, and everyone looked at each other as if they had been struck by lightning.

The judge's face turned pale in an instant, and his legs began to tremble uncontrollably.

He was speechless and wanted to explain, but nothing came out.

"Who is it? Who is framing the Pu clan?" Xiahou Gong shouted excitedly, his calloused hands clenched into fists.

The Queen's gaze swept across the crowd and finally landed on the judge. Her eyes were as sharp as a knife: "Come here, arrest this criminal who spread rumors and disrupted the court order!" The guards rushed forward and tied up the judge.

"Your Majesty is wise!" Everyone shouted in unison, their voices shaking the earth.

The Tuoba dancer fell to his knees in excitement, tears streaming down his face.

She knew that the Pu culture had finally been vindicated!

The Queen looked at Zhaoyang Ruyue and Wumeng Tianlong with satisfaction, her eyes full of approval.

Although these two people came from the future, they were able to maintain the stability of the ancient Dian Kingdom, which really impressed her.

Zhaoyang Ruyue and Wumeng Tianlong smiled at each other, and a huge stone in their hearts finally fell to the ground.

At this time, the historian Zhuge came to the empress holding a scroll of bamboo slips and respectfully presented it: "Your Majesty, I have compiled the historical records of the integration of Pu culture and ancient Dian culture. Please review it."

The empress took the bamboo slips, read them carefully, and a satisfied smile appeared on her face. "Excellent! Historian Zhuge is truly efficient! Immediately announce this record to the world, so that more people can understand the charm of Pu culture!"

"Yes, Your Majesty!" Historian Zhuge took the order and left.

The atmosphere in the square became boiling again, and everyone cheered and celebrated this hard-won victory.

Looking at the jubilant crowd, Zhaoyang Ruyue suddenly thought of something. She pulled Wumeng Tianlong's sleeve and said mysteriously, "Hey, you said..."

Zhaoyang Ruyue leaned close to Wumeng Tianlong's ear mysteriously and whispered in a low voice, "Hey, what do you think? Should we consider making some 'Pu culture peripherals'? Look at how popular it's been, it's definitely going to be a hit!"

Wumeng Tianlong's eyes lit up when he heard this. "Great! This wave of cultural output must be arranged! Once the surrounding areas are released, it will directly boost the gross domestic product (GDP). Shouldn't the Queen give us the 'Best Cultural Promotion Ambassador' award?"

They immediately found Xia Hougong and after some brainstorming, Xia Hougong was so excited that his beard stood up: "This is a great idea! My old skills can finally be put to good use!" He rolled up his sleeves and led a group of workers to work on the production of the "peripherals".

Soon, all kinds of Pu ethnic culture peripheral products came out: pottery jars printed with Pu ethnic totems, wood carvings of mythical birds, cloth bags embroidered with mysterious symbols... the variety of products was dazzling.

Once these peripheral products were launched, they immediately triggered a buying frenzy in the ancient Dian Kingdom. From royal nobles to common people, everyone was proud to own a piece of Pu culture peripheral product.

"OMG! This is so popular!" Zhaoyang Ruyue couldn't help but sigh as she looked at the endless stream of customers.

Wumeng Tianlong was waving his fan proudly at the side: "Basic operation, basic operation, all routine operations."

After some effort, they conducted a "public opinion survey", and the results showed that more than 60% of the people could tell the core content of Pu culture!

Zhaoyang Ruyue and Wumeng Tianlong clapped their hands excitedly. "Yes! We're getting closer and closer to our goal!"

The two were immersed in joy, when suddenly, Priest Huangfu walked over with a gloomy face and said coldly: "Hmph, young man, don't be too happy too soon..." Priest Huangfu turned away, leaving the two looking at each other in bewilderment.

"What does that mean? Is someone trying to cause trouble?" Zhaoyang Ruyue was confused.

Wumeng Tianlong put away his fan, frowning, "The old priest has always been stubborn. He probably can't stand our 'new fashion' stuff."

Although the peripherals were hot-selling and the poll results were quite impressive, the two did not get carried away by the victory.

They know very well that true cultural heritage is not superficial, but must be deeply rooted in people's hearts.

To this end, they specially held a "Pu Culture Knowledge Competition" in the hope of taking this opportunity to popularize Pu culture more deeply.

But the result was... horrible.

As soon as the question was released, the contestants were all confused.

"What was the original object of worship of the ancestors of the Pu people?" "Uh... stone?" "The sun?" "Mountain god?" The answers were varied and far from the correct answer.

Zhaoyang Ruyue held her forehead with her hand: "It seems that our road to promoting culture is long and arduous!" Wumeng Tianlong also sighed helplessly: "Popularizing this knowledge is harder than climbing to the sky!"

Just when the two were at a loss, Sima scholar and Zhuge historian came together with meaningful smiles on their faces.

"Thank you for your hard work, both of you," Scholar Sima said slowly. "I think the Pu culture is profound and extensive, and it's indeed difficult for ordinary people to understand..." Historian Zhuge took over the conversation, with a hint of subtle sarcasm in his tone, "Why not let us, who are well-educated, share your worries?"

Wumeng Tianlong and Zhaoyang Ruyue looked at each other, feeling a little uneasy.

Sima scholars have always scoffed at new things, and Zhuge historian is even more notoriously rigid and conservative. These two people took the initiative to volunteer, so what are they up to?

"We appreciate the kindness of the two scholars..." Zhaoyang Ruyue began, but was interrupted by Sima Scholar. "You're welcome. It's our duty to do our bit for the ancient Dian Kingdom." He then glanced meaningfully at Priest Huangfu's back, an elusive smile curling up at the corner of his mouth...
