I Can Control My Ancestors-Chapter 354 - 30: Reality Alters, Glory Through the Ages
[Marquis Zhongwu——Gu Xiao,]
[Following the battle of Kunyang, he rose with Emperor Han Guangwu Liu Xiu...]
....
[The legendary family in our history—the Gu Clan.]
[As the most legendary family in our history, the emergence of the Gu Clan can still be called a miracle.]
[Countless great talents have emerged from this family...]
[Their foresight and insight are crucial in the history of our feudal dynasties...]
...
[Do you know why Xingtai is called a holy land?]
[That’s because a legendary family appeared here, and the several generations of heroes from this family played an important role in the development of the Kyushu.]
[Now let us understand through a video why the legendary Gu Clan and Xingtai (Julu) are considered holy lands!]
[...]
....
[——The Gu Clan!]
[Why did this family, which produced several legendary figures, fall into decline?]
[The decline of the Gu Clan began during the Yan Han period... As one of the most influential feudal dynasties in our country, the rise and fall of this dynasty is closely related to the Gu Clan.]
[Since Marquis Jingxiang Gu Ye passed away in the second year of Chang Xu, the Gu Clan gradually faded from the Yan Han court.]
[The family faced a situation where the older generation had passed but the younger generation was not yet capable.]
[Compared to the previously outstanding talents, the abilities of the young family members appeared increasingly mediocre...]
[....]
....
[Do you know which ancient figure the Dingning Festival, which allows you three days off, is associated with?]
Watching one video after another, Gu Yi did not feel surprised.
Without his manipulation and the influence of props,
the Gu Clan would not have been able to remain brilliant.
History moves forward, and although the Gu Clan’s influence during the Yan Han period had reached an unstoppable level,
time continues to pass.....
When no extraordinary figure emerges from the Gu Clan for too long, its reputation is bound to gradually fade with time.
Gu Kang, Gu Xi, and Gu Chen might still be worshipped continuously.
But for the Gu Clan to sustain its brilliance would certainly be a pipe dream.
Besides these educational and promotional videos, there were also some film clips.
Gu Yi immediately noticed a highly popular video.
It seemed to be a film montage.
With soothing music and the clashing of swords and spears, the scene gradually became clear from blurry.
——This was the entrance to a valley.
An elderly man with white hair stood above the valley entrance, watching the battle below.
His figure was somewhat frail, but his eyebrows still bore a heroic spirit.
Facing the battlefield below,
there were no ripples on his face, as if everything was under his control.
Fires burned continuously~
Although the flames were created with special effects, they also quickly made Gu Yi realize where this was.
——The Battle of Cyan Dragon Creek!
Sure enough, the next moment a rumbling thunder sounded.
Followed by the camera switching, and Dong Zhuo’s reinforcements appeared.
The subsequent scenes... were not much different from those back in the day.
Despite the added artistic processing and acting creating a gloomy background, the overall effort was evident.
The dense bullet screens also flashed by those four large characters——"Respectfully sending off the Grand Tutor!"
This was a drama about "Gu Xi."
Gu Yi did a simple search; it depicted the legendary life of "Gu Xi."
Not only was there a TV series,
but there was also an anime.
However, compared to the TV series, the anime had even more artistic processing, but the effect was equally extraordinary.
At the moment when Gu Xi fell,
in the anime, the overall scene’s background tone gradually turned dark blood red.
And Gu Xi’s falling figure also gradually slowed down.
Scenes flashed one after another.
The ruined Han Palace, smoke and fires everywhere, with the mighty dragon wailing due to its weakening.
A blood moon appeared, flocks of crows flew.
As the scenes flashed by, several ghostly figures appeared behind Gu Xi.
One figure held the Chixiao Sword pointing to the sky, surrounded by a red snake with Mangdang Mountain mist beneath his feet.
This was Han Gaozu Liu Bang!
Another ghostly figure on a silver-armored white horse, holding a Meteor Halberd with dozens of star maps of generals behind him.
This was Emperor Han Guangwu Liu Xiu!
The banners of the Great Han were in the center of the two of them, resting on Gu Xi’s back alone.
As the scene grew bloodier,
the banners representing the fate of the Great Han Kingdom were becoming more tattered as Gu Xi fell.
The bullet screens also densely displayed those four characters.
"Respectfully sending off the Grand Tutor!"
This was an anime with some fantasy elements.
Besides that——
There were also films and animations about Gu Chen, even featuring a current popular idol portraying Gu Chen, leading to criticism that left them physically and emotionally battered.
Gu Yi ate while scrolling through videos about the Gu Clan.
It was apparent.....
Even though the Gu Clan couldn’t sustain its brilliance, it had already had a significant impact on the modern era.
Of course, these impacts were merely influences.
They couldn’t bring anything substantial to Gu Yi.
Apart from these, there were documentaries about the Gu Clan.
What filled Gu Yi with a sense of pride was——
The official educational documentary series had a full five episodes on the Gu Clan.
One episode discussed the rise and fall of the Gu Clan.
The other four episodes focused on individual characters.
"Gu Kang," "Gu Xi," "Gu Chen," "Gu Ye"
The influence of these four was indeed too great, even far surpassing Old Ancestor Gu Xiao, who had initiated the Gu Clan’s rise.
Gu Yi just took a quick glance at the rise and fall of the Gu Clan without paying too much attention.
Although not staying by the game all the time,
there was no need to waste time, and Gu Yi even cared less about the Gu Clan’s decline.
