Surprisingly, before the moon worship, no one had discovered that the Earth was round!
Is this possible?
Also, Bai Yue in the TV series is very studious, and his study is full of the works of ancient sages (by the way, there were already bound volumes of the Four Books and Five Classics at that time, which is incredible).
Despite his extensive knowledge, Bai Yue was not arrogant. He remained humble and eager to learn, even going to Liu Jinyuan's house to search for books.
This very plot point makes things even more inexplicable.
Bai Yue actually led a group of people into the Minister's mansion with great fanfare... The Minister's mansion didn't even have a single guard!
The Liu family servants actually shouted "equality"... I never expected that the Moon Worship Cult had spread to the capital!
Liu Jinyuan's parents were in such a hurry to commit suicide... Did Baiyue say she wanted your lives?
Finally, the leader of the Moon Worship Cult moved a large pile of books out of the Liu family's house and even accused Liu Jinyuan of being "unfilial"!
Furthermore, it is quite puzzling why Bai Yue in the TV series would frame the Witch Queen.
In the game, the leader of the Moon Worship Cult did this for two reasons:
Firstly, he worshipped the moon to cover up his practice of raising a water monster.
Secondly, he worshipped the moon in order to obtain the spiritual power of the bloodline of the witch queen Nuwa, and the raging flood caused by the water demon beast also gave him a sufficient excuse to mobilize the people.
However, Baiyue's behavior in the TV series is puzzling.
What was his reason for framing the witch queen?
Does this help his plan to recreate the world?
How did he incite the people of Nanzhao to demand the execution of the witch queen?
Baiyue's reasoning was that the Witch Queen was a monster, a demon capable of overthrowing the country.
But words alone are not enough.
What facts did Baiyue use to convince the Witch King to publicly try his wife?
What facts could Baiyue use to convince the people to oppose their queen?
The flood in the TV series was actually summoned by the Moon Worship Cult Leader after the Witch Queen was imprisoned.
Prior to this, the Witch Queen had not revealed the serpentine form of the Nuwa clan.
Later, after Baiyue obtained the five spirit orbs, he came to the sacred lake and destroyed the statue of the witch queen with a wave of his hand, breaking the witch queen's seal and releasing the water demon beast.
At the same time, he used the power of the five spirit orbs to begin destroying the world.
Li Xiaoyao and Zhao Ling'er rushed to stop him, but their strength was far inferior to that of the Moon Worship Cult Leader.
In a moment of crisis, Tang Yu and Anu used the pendant to unleash the power of love, averting an impending catastrophe.
Li Xiaoyao further awakened the Moon Worship Cult Leader's memories of love with his move "Infinite Love".
Bai Yue finally felt the presence of love and exclaimed, "I once had these things too, I once received them, but I gave them up. I didn't keep love; I gave it up myself. In fact, love has always been by my side."
Having understood these principles, Baiyue, with a satisfied smile, vanished into nothingness...
This plot is so melodramatic!
If we disregard the original game and the fantasy world setting, the character of the Moon Worship Cult Leader in the TV series is quite well-developed.
Xu Jinjiang's portrayal of the leader of the Baiyue Cult is also quite outstanding!
His performance vividly portrayed the complex character of the Moon Worship Cult Leader.
Aside from the plot holes that are hard to explain, it's hard to find many faults with him.
Of course, the world Li Yao traveled to was the game version of the Legend of Sword and Fairy world.
The leader of the Moon Worship Cult in this world is a complete villain.
...
Li Yao used his spatial abilities to instantly transport Xiao Bai to the area of Nanzhao Kingdom.
Then, riding on yellow birds, they flew towards the capital of Nanshao Kingdom, looking down at the situation on the ground below.
All that could be seen outside the capital was a vast expanse of water, and the relentless floodwaters were pouring into the capital through the city gates.
Because the city center is on higher ground, while the surrounding areas are on lower ground.
Therefore, the floods are currently only raging on the outskirts of the city center.
"My lord, look over there! Two people are surrounded!"
Xiao Bai pointed to an alleyway near the city center.
In the alley, an older woman was tightly embracing a little girl who looked about six or seven years old.
Around them were more than a dozen Black Miao warriors dressed in black, surrounding them completely.
The woman was dressed in brocade robes, short and fat, and had a very fierce appearance.
At this moment, she was covered in injuries, but she still struggled to protect the little girl.
The little girl, however, was as beautiful as a piece of jade, indescribably beautiful, with a pair of bright eyes that shone with a radiant light, but now only showed innocent fear.
She clung tightly to the woman's neck, not daring to let go.
Despite her serious injuries, the woman remained fearless and shouted loudly, "How dare you! Who sent you?"
One of the Black Miao warriors brandished his sword, producing a sharp, piercing sound as he shouted, "By order of the leader, all of the Queen's accomplices shall be killed without exception!"
The woman sneered and said, "Hmph! Cult Leader, Cult Leader! Do you still have any respect for the Witch King? You even dare to prey on the little princess."
The Black Miao warrior laughed loudly, "Hahaha... This matter was personally ordered by the Witch King!"
"What? The Witch King, he..."
The woman was startled.
The little girl hugged the woman, her eyes brimming with tears, but she desperately held them back, bravely looking at everyone.
The Black Miao warrior said, "His Majesty personally issued a decree ordering the sect leader to punish you witches who spread heresies and deceive the masses, in order to save the Black Miao tribe. Heh heh, you witch, you're about to die, so just accept your fate!"
The woman's face turned black with anger, and she sneered, "Hmph! Your so-called cult leader is the real monster! You don't believe the Witch Queen, but you actually believe that old devil's nonsense!"
The Black Miao warrior roared, "Enough nonsense! Men, cut off this shrew's head!"
At the same time, everyone drew their swords, and several gleaming blades came from all directions.
Chapter 551 The plot has changed.
"They are very likely Zhao Ling'er and her maternal grandmother!"
"However, it seems that Li Xiaoyao has not appeared ten years from now."
"In other words, my arrival has already changed the course of the Legend of Sword and Fairy storyline."
Li Yao looked at the woman and little girl surrounded by a group of Black Miao warriors in the alley and made a few guesses.
"Husband, should we save them?"
Xiao Bai asked.
"Of course we must save them!"
Li Yao smiled slightly.
At that moment, several Black Miao warriors attacked simultaneously, slashing at the woman with their swords.
The woman was already seriously injured and could barely protect herself, let alone deal with several Black Miao warriors. It seemed that she was destined to die by the sword.
Suddenly, several beams of light flashed, and with a few clangs, several knives aimed at the woman were all deflected.
The Black Miao warriors were all stunned for a moment.
Before they could see anything clearly, their knives were knocked away.
Before they could react, they saw two flashes of light.
Suddenly, two figures appeared in the alley.
It was Li Yao and Xiao Bai!
The Black Miao warriors were taken aback at first, but after seeing who it was, one of them said coldly, "There are actually Han Chinese here?"
"So what if they are Han Chinese?"
Li Yao said calmly.
The samurai sneered, "Hmph, then you can only blame your bad luck for running into my hands!"
Unfortunately, before he could finish speaking, a burst of light shot out.
A tremendous force suddenly exploded, blasting the Black Miao warriors away, leaving them mangled and dead on the spot.
The woman and little girl standing nearby were stunned by what they saw.
After a long while, the woman took a deep breath and said with gratitude, "Thank you both for saving me."
"You're welcome!"
Li Yao smiled slightly, turned his gaze to the little girl, and said, "She must be Miss Ling'er."
"Who...who are you people?"
The woman became alert as soon as she heard Li Yao call out the little princess's name.
"You don't need to be nervous. We came here to help the Witch Queen after learning that she was in trouble. Please take us to her quickly."
Xiao Bai comforted them with a word.
"Are you really here to rescue the Queen?"
The woman said with a suspicious look.
"If you hesitate even a fraction of a second longer, and your queen is killed by the Moon Worship Cult Leader, it will be too late for you to regret it."
Li Yao said calmly.
"Grandma, is my mother really in danger?"
