Chapter 611: We were a millennium ahead of them! We must have cultural confidence!

~7 min read 1,316 words

General murals are mostly grand scenes, and details are hard to control, but these six murals before us are different.

What needs to be grasped are all the details. What it expresses is not the accumulation and weight of history.

So once you have that previous cognition, you will be blinded by a single leaf, and it is only natural that you won't understand these murals.

After a brief moment of emotion, Professor Sun, just like Yang Lusi now, focused his gaze directly on the second key point of the third mural that Zhang Lin mentioned.

That person's eyes clearly carried vigilance and some nervousness. This logic is easy to sort out.

No one spoke, and Hu Bayi subconsciously said, "This person must have betrayed the Queen of Jingjue."

Yang Lusi nodded slowly and said, "That's right. His hand is turned over, but his other palm is blocking the upturned palm, which shows that he should have accepted a bribe, and thus betrayed the queen."

As she spoke, a flash of light appeared in Yang Lusi's pupils, and then a smile appeared at the corners of her mouth.

She understood who the person in Western mythology that Zhang Lin was referring to was.

She thought to herself that the analogy was indeed very appropriate.

The two were exactly the same!

Professor Sun also reacted almost immediately, "Mr. Zhang is talking about Judas."

There couldn't possibly be any other answer. According to the hints given by Zhang Lin, plus the reaction of this slave in the mural at this moment.

It proved everything.

Betrayal, bribery, sneaking around, and it's even on the mural!

Zhang Lin must be referring to Judas, who was secretly looking at that person while holding a money bag in *The Last Supper*!

In the Crescent Hotel, someone soon reacted as well, hurriedly raising their hand and saying, "Mr. Zhang, it's *The Last Supper*, Judas, right? This person's reaction is very similar to the mural painted by Da Vinci."

The cultural levels of the people listening to the storytelling are different, and the same goes for the netizens watching the live stream.

Some reacted very early, and others only suddenly realized after hearing the name Judas.

【With that reminder, I remember now. Indeed, the two murals are exactly the same, and the expressions are very similar.】

【But what does this mean? If he's just a traitor, Mr. Zhang could have just said so directly. Why mention Judas?】

【Could it be that these two murals, one from the Western Regions and one from the West, have a corresponding connection?】

【Impossible. This mural is at least a thousand years old. How could it possibly have a connection to that time?】

【Right, not to mention how much geographical span there is, the chronological span is also very large.】

The audience at the Crescent Hotel had the same question.

"Mr. Zhang, you specifically mentioned this point. Are you trying to say that there is a connection between the two?"

Zhang Lin smiled helplessly and hurriedly waved his hand, saying, "Everyone, don't let your imaginations run wild. Actually, my meaning is very simple. First, this person is a traitor, which is why I used Judas as an example."

"As for the second point, this mural is at least six hundred years earlier than that Western one. So, at that time, the artistic conception of our painters was already far beyond that of the Westerners under the blessing of the so-called Renaissance."

"Moreover, that *Last Supper* came from the hand of a master, while this mural was just painted by a craftsman."

As soon as these words were spoken, the people in the Crescent Hotel were stunned for a moment, and then immediately burst into thunderous applause.

"Mr. Zhang said it well."

"Haha! This is cultural confidence. We don't lose to anyone, and we are even far ahead of them."

The netizens' bullet comments were also passionately emotional.

【Salute to our five thousand years of culture. I am proud of this.】

【I think the reason Mr. Zhang is liked by so many people is not only because his storytelling is wonderful, but also because of his positive energy.】

【Whenever Mr. Zhang reaches a critical moment, he always conveys such information to us.】

【We must learn more about our own culture and not worship foreign things!】

Zhang Lin pressed his hand down and smiled slightly. He was very satisfied with everyone's reaction.

No matter how much these people praised him or how much they liked the stories he told.

That cultural confidence must shine through in their bones. After all, the profession of archaeology is about excavating the grandeur deposited by time.

Perhaps because they were too excited, Zhang Lin pressed his hand for a long time, but the applause hadn't stopped, and cheers continued.

Zhang Lin simply ignored it, waiting for their enthusiasm to die down on its own.

And after the news came from the Archaeological Team, Wang Kaixuan gave a furious like.

He said excitedly: "Mr. Zhang's words are powerful. Damn it! The West did some Renaissance, but more than a thousand years ago, we already had such murals."

Professor Sun couldn't help but nod, but excited as he was, the focus of attention at the moment still had to be on this mural.

He couldn't help but look at Yang Lusi and ask, "Team Leader Yang, what is your opinion on what Mr. Zhang said? These last three murals..."

Speaking of this, Professor Sun's tone paused.

Zhang Lin had already stated all the information connected to the first three murals, and Professor Sun was trying to study the remaining three murals by referring to what Zhang Lin had said.

This was also a disguised way for this professor to give himself a small test. He was thinking that if he analyzed it himself now, he could see how much it would match up with what Zhang Lin would say later.

It could also be considered a way to feel the gap between himself and Mr. Zhang.

Yang Lusi smiled indifferently and said, "Actually, the direction of the whole story has already been explained very clearly. This is a series of plans for the Prince of Gumo to assassinate the Queen of Jingjue, and he must have succeeded in the end."

Upon hearing this, Professor Sun was stunned. The Queen of Jingjue died; this is an indisputable fact.

After all, it had been thousands of years, but he didn't understand why Teacher Yang was so certain that the Prince of Gumo had succeeded.

There was absolutely no definitive answer on this mural. Could it be that Yang Lusi had already seen the subsequent information through what Zhang Lin said, which is why she reached such an answer?

Professor Sun hurriedly asked, "Team Leader Yang, why do you say that? Have you already seen clues in the last three murals?"

Lusi gave a self-deprecating smile and shook her head, saying, "I don't have that ability. Looking at the last three murals now, I still feel like I'm in a fog. The key lies in what Mr. Zhang said earlier. In fact, the core point also comes from his analogy, which is Judas."

"Didn't that person in *The Last Supper* also die?"

If one were to say who understands Zhang Lin best here, it is definitely Yang Lusi!

Others are just listening to Zhang Lin's storytelling and haven't had much close contact.

And although the outside world doesn't know the relationship between Yang Lusi and Zhang Lin, in her eyes, Zhang Lin has always been her senior brother.

Therefore, through their contact, Yang Lusi understands that one shouldn't just listen to the surface meaning of what Zhang Lin says, but also think about another deeper meaning.

As for why he mentioned Judas in *The Last Supper*, Yang Lusi knew that Zhang Lin had already explained those two points just now.
