I traveled through time and became the Queen of Ancient Dian

Chapter 54 Pu Culture: A Turning Point in the Sacrifice

At the first light of dawn, the sacrificial square was crowded with people, gongs and drums were loud, and it was very lively.

The air was filled with a solemn atmosphere, yet also mixed with a hint of uneasiness.

Last night's news spread quietly among the crowd as if it had wings. Everyone's face was filled with curiosity and anticipation, as if waiting for a good show to begin.

The sacrificial ceremony officially began. Priest Huangfu looked solemn and followed the ancient ritual step by step.

Green smoke rises from the burning incense burner, like a passage leading to heaven.

However, during the Pu culture display, something strange happened!

The bronze vessels placed on the altar cracked with a "clang" sound!

The cracks spread like a spider web, and in an instant, the exquisite vessel turned into pieces!

The crowd suddenly exploded, with exclamations and screams coming one after another.

"Oh no! The sacrificial supplies are damaged!"

"Oh my God! This is a bad sign!"

"It must be the Pu culture that angered the gods!"

Upon seeing this, Priest Huangfu revealed a barely perceptible sneer at the corner of his mouth.

He suddenly raised his hands and shouted loudly: "Heaven's punishment! This is Heaven's punishment! Pu culture is heresy! It has brought disaster!" His actions were a textbook example of a scam.

The crowd became even more agitated, and panic spread rapidly like a plague.

Some people even started pointing at Tuoba Wu and Xiahou Gong and cursing loudly.

Seeing that the situation was about to get out of control, Xiahou Gong pushed through the crowd and rushed to the altar.

He didn't bother to explain, picked up the tools and started repairing the broken utensils.

He was like the protagonist of a game with a musou engine, his movements were so fast that only afterimages were left.

The onlookers were stunned. This was not repairing anything, it was clearly performance art!

"What...what's going on?"

"This hand speed is amazing!"

"This craftsmanship is simply amazing!"

With the repair work of Xia Hougong, the cracks on the vessel miraculously disappeared!

Not only that, he also demonstrated the production process of Pu cultural products on the spot. The exquisite craftsmanship amazed everyone present.

"666! This move is simply amazing!"

"Oh my god! I take it back. Pu culture is awesome!"

"It smells so good! Does your face hurt from the scolding you just now?"

The public's attitude took a 180-degree turn, and they all praised the Pu culture.

Priest Huangfu's expression was uglier than if he had eaten a fly.

He opened his mouth, wanting to say something, but nothing came out.

At this moment, the Queen slowly stood up, she held the hands of Zhaoyang Ruyue and Wumeng Tianlong... The Queen slowly stood up, she held the hands of Zhaoyang Ruyue and Wumeng Tianlong, as if she was holding two shining stars.

"I know that new things always make people afraid, but precisely because of this, we should try to understand them instead of blindly rejecting them." The Queen's voice was clear and powerful, and every word struck the hearts of the people.

"These two are the guardians of the Pu culture. They have come from afar just to bring this ancient and splendid civilization back to our sight."

Thunderous applause broke out in the crowd. Those who had been shouting for war and killing just now have now become die-hard fans of Pu culture.

The speed of changing his expression is faster than turning pages of a book.

Priest Huangfu's face was now as green as a walking leek.

"Your Majesty! You are so partial to the Pu culture. Where do you put the traditions of our ancient Dian Kingdom?!" Priest Huangfu shouted at the top of his lungs, as if he had suffered great injustice.

"This is clearly an evil path that will bring disaster to the ancient Dian Kingdom!" He spoke frantically, trying to turn the tide, set the pace, and stir up trouble.

"Oh? Disaster?" The queen raised her eyebrows, and a dangerous light flashed in her eyes.

"Priest Huangfu, you seem to have some misunderstanding about the word 'disaster'." She paused, her tone turning cold. "The real disaster isn't new culture, but complacency and arrogance!"

The atmosphere froze instantly, and sparks seemed to be flying in the air.

Priest Huangfu gritted his teeth and wanted to say something else, but was stopped by the Queen's eyes.

"Priest Huangfu, you seem to have forgotten who gave you the right to speak?" The Queen's voice was not loud, but full of majesty, shocking the entire audience.

At this moment, Sima scholar and Zhuge historian slowly walked up to the altar, holding...

Scholar Sima and historian Zhuge slowly walked up to the altar, holding... a few pieces of rags in their hands?

Everyone looked at each other, what the hell is this?

Priest Huangfu almost laughed out loud. That's it?

Do you still have the nerve to take it out?

He was about to open his mouth to mock him, but Sima scholar slowly unfolded the piece of cloth, revealing the intricate patterns and words on it.

"These are fragments we discovered while sorting through the ancient Dian Kingdom's documents," explained Scholar Sima, pointing to the pieces of cloth. "They record the origin and development of the Pu culture. Our research has revealed that Pu culture is not some 'evil sect,' but an important component of ancient Dian culture. We could even say it's the foundation of ancient Dian culture!"

Zhuge Shiguan added, "These fragments also record that the Huangfu priests, in order to maintain their privileges in sacrifice, deliberately concealed and distorted the facts of the Pu culture. Their hearts are damned!"

Good guy!

This reversal came unexpectedly!

The crowd of onlookers were instantly in an uproar, and accused Priest Huangfu of being a "sixth brother".

Priest Huangfu's face turned green. This move was simply murderous!

He was speechless and couldn't say anything for a long time.

"Priest Huangfu, do you have anything else to say?" The Queen's voice was as cold as the north wind in winter.

Priest Huangfu's face turned pale, he knew that the situation was hopeless.

In the next few days, under the promotion of the Queen, a vigorous "Pu culture learning craze" swept the entire ancient Dian Kingdom.

Xiahou workers and Tuoba dancers used their professional skills to produce a large amount of Pu ethnic culture promotional materials, went deep into the fields, and held the "Pu Ethnic Culture Lecture Hall".

The survey shows that more than 80% of the people can tell the core content of Pu culture, such as "all things have spirits", "respect nature", etc.

Pu culture was widely recognized and inherited in the ancient Dian Kingdom.

After the sacrificial ceremony, everyone cheered, sang and danced to celebrate this hard-won victory.

Zhaoyang Ruyue and Wumeng Tianlong also showed relieved smiles, their efforts were not in vain.

However, in the dead of night, a dark shadow quietly sneaked into the residence of Huangfu Priest...

The black shadow flashed by, as fast as a gust of wind.

The guard at Priest Huangfu's residence didn't even have time to blink before he felt a chill on his neck and then fell down limply.

"Waste!" The black shadow cursed. It was Priest Huangfu himself who was deprived of his position as a priest.

He changed into a nightgown and sneaked back to his mansion like a ghost, not for any valuable things, but... an inconspicuous wooden box.

He skillfully opened the secret compartment, took out the wooden box, and a sinister smile appeared on his face.

"Want to bring me down? That's not that easy!" In the wooden box, a black seed lay quietly, emitting a strange smell.

At the same time, at the lively celebration banquet, the Queen raised her glass and said proudly: "Thanks to everyone's great help, the Pu culture has been restored to its original name! Cheers!"

Everyone raised their glasses and drank it all.

The atmosphere was lively, with constant singing and laughter.

Zhaoyang Ruyue and Wumeng Tianlong looked at each other, their eyes filled with relief.

However, the good times did not last long.

The next morning, shocking news spread throughout the ancient Dian Kingdom: a plague broke out in a small remote village!

When the news came, Baona was discussing the next plan with Sima scholar and Zhuge historian.

Upon hearing the news, the three people's faces changed suddenly.

"Plague?!" Historian Zhuge exclaimed, "How...how is this possible?"

Scholar Sima frowned and muttered, "Could it be... a punishment from heaven?"

Baona's mind suddenly emerged with the sinister smile of Priest Huangfu and the mysterious wooden box...

"Not good!" Baona stood up suddenly, "I'm afraid things are not that simple!"

She immediately rushed to the Queen's bedroom and told her her suspicions.

After hearing this, the Queen's expression became serious.

"Priest Huangfu..." A cold light flashed in the Queen's eyes, "It seems that he is determined to fight to the death!"

That night, Baona, Zhaoyang Ruyue and Wumeng Tianlong rushed to the village where the plague broke out.

At the entrance of the village, a villager covered in boils blocked their way and said in a hoarse voice, "Don't... don't come over... help... help me..."

Wumeng Tianlong grabbed the villager's wrist, his face changed drastically: "What...what is this?!"
