I have a two world clock

Chapter 63 ancestor worship
Li Mu has often run to the ancestral hall since he can remember.

He knew that there were two statues standing on both sides of the entrance of his family's ancestral hall, one was an armored general holding a long spear, and the other was a civil servant holding a scroll, symbolizing one civil and one military, guarding the gate.

Li Mu was naughty when he was a child, fighting with his friends, and lacking weapons in his hands, he pulled out the spear from the general's hand and broke two of the general's fingers.

Because of this, Li Mu was hung on the beam by Li Haichuan and beat him severely. The beating was so ruthless that there were bloodstains on his body.

Later, I wanted to find someone to connect the fingers of the statue, but no one nearby dared to do the job, so the statue of the general remained disabled, and the spear that was taken away by Li Mu was placed behind the door. , and later, I don't know where it went, and there is no trace.

The statue wandering out of the ancestral hall at this time is the clay sculpture of the general whose finger was broken and the spear was taken away by Li Mu.

This clay sculpture is a little over two meters tall, wearing a golden helmet, wearing a golden armor, a leopard head with ring eyes, a beard, and a dirty body. At this time, he walked out of the door, covered in mud.

After walking a few steps, the armor became more distinct, as bright as new.

Li Chengzu and his son were taken aback, and hurriedly backed away. Li Haichuan looked at Li Mu: "Xiao Mu, what's going on?"

Li Mu was also surprised: "Get back first!"

While he was thinking, the hairpin on his head jumped out of the bun and landed in the palm of his hand, turning into a red-flame sharp gun. Holding the gun in his hand, he looked at the golden armored general who was coming: "Hey, what's your name?"

The walking mud tire stopped when he heard the words, tilted his head and looked at Li Mu for a few times, then slowly stretched out his right hand with only three fingers left, and made a hoarse voice: "Give me back my fingers!"

He then spread his palms to Li Mu: "Give me back my magic weapon!"

Li Mu suddenly felt a little guilty: "No, it's been so many years, and you still haven't forgotten it? Why do you hold grudges so much! Such a big man has such a small mind!"

On the opposite side, General Jin Jia was furious, and stretched out his hand to grab Li Mu: "No... ignorant junior! Breaking my body and damaging my soul..."

Li Mu reached out and grabbed the mud tire's arm: "Don't do it, if you do it again, I will call the police!"

The mud tire arm suddenly struggled, but it failed to break away from Li Mu's hand. Instead, the painted painting on the entire arm suddenly exploded, exposing the straw and mud clods inside.

He was taken aback, stared at Li Mu with wide eyes, and seemed to regain consciousness: "Immortal sect disciple?"

Li Mu felt the power of this mud tire, so he knew that this guy was strong on the outside, but not much stronger than an adult. It was okay to scare ordinary people. If there was a fight, Li Haichuan could easily kill him without Li Mu down.

Holding the hand of the mud tire, he said with a smile: "Don't worry, don't worry, just talk about it! When were you born with wisdom?"

The mud tire stood there blankly, with a thoughtful look on his face, as if he didn't understand Li Mu's words. After a while, he struggled again: "Give me back my magic weapon! Give me back my finger!"

Li Mu: "...It seemed that I could still communicate just now, why are you confused now?"

This was the first time he saw something supernatural in the real world, and he was shocked. He always thought that there were no ghosts and gods in modern society, but now this idea began to waver.

Li Haichuan said cautiously beside him: "Could it be that this mud tire is too old and has Alzheimer's disease..."

Li Chengzu laughed and scolded: "Fart! How can a clay statue still suffer from dementia? You might as well say that he has a stroke in the brain!"

The two of them were horrified when they saw that the mud tire they had been familiar with since childhood had a mind and seemed to have become a spirit. They were horrified and doubted the authenticity of this world for a while.

The two of them talked and teased, which seemed nonsensical, but they actually used their words to relieve their nervousness.

Li Mu was well aware of the emotions of his grandfather and father, so he took out a yellow talisman and pasted it on the statue's forehead: "Sure!"

After fixing the mud tire, Li Mu sensed it intently, only sensing the chaotic thoughts inside the mud tire, other than that, he got nothing else.

This clay sculpture seems to be a simple puppet method, and the breath inside is the same as the Nine-turn Yuangong in Li Mu's body. It should be a breath poured into the clay mold by Li's ancestors, so it has a feeling with Li Mu. Get the mud tires moving.

"Grandpa, how long has this mud tire been around?"

Li Mu looked at Li Chengzu: "Has it been 200 years?"

Li Chengzu said: "200 years? 1000 years too!"

He said to Li Mu: "The ancestral hall of our family has been recorded by the ancestors of the Li family in the Tang Dynasty. It has only been repaired for many years, and it has long been different from before. This gatekeeper should be the earliest batch of clay sculptures. Look at this The appearance of the attire is completely Han and Tang charm, after the Song and Yuan Dynasties, it will never be like this."

Li Mu said in shock: "1000 years? This must be a national treasure!"

Li Chengzu said: "I don't know whether it is a national treasure or not. It is useless to say that. This is the statue of our old Li family. Even if it is not a national treasure, it must be taken care of!"

His face was a bit ugly: "You broke the finger of the god statue and took away his weapon. Now he wakes up and asks you for it. How do you pay for it?"

Li Mu said: "If you pay, you will pay, and if you make a mistake, you have to correct it! I will refine two fingers for him in a while!"

He looked relaxed, but he was shocked in his heart.

If this clay sculpture is thousands of years old, then how great was the strength of the ancestors of the Li family back then?
It's just a ray of breath that penetrated into the mud tire, but it has not failed for a thousand years, it's really terrifying!
He thought in his heart, and kept walking: "Let's go inside and have a look!"

At this time, the lock of the ancestral hall fell off automatically, and the gate was already open. Li Mu stepped in, and when he scanned the ancestral hall, he found that the statue of civil servants at the door seemed to have moved. The appearance of walking in the back.

"His finger was broken by me, and his weapon was also lost by me, so he asked me to beg for it because of his resentment. Why are you a civil servant joining in the fun!"

Li Mu stretched out his hand and pushed the civil servant, a burst of true energy shot out from his palm, and penetrated into the civil servant's body: "Not back yet!"

The civil servant's body shook, and immediately gathered his legs, and stood respectfully, returning to its original appearance again.

Li Mu took a deep breath, looked at Li Chengzu and Li Haichuan who were a little hesitant outside the door: "Nothing has changed here, let's all come in!"

Li Chengzu scolded: "Nonsense! Why hasn't it changed? We all saw it just now! This statue of civil servants is also alive?"

Li Mu said with a smile: "He came back to life, and he whispered to me just now, saying that he didn't eat a few mouthfuls of offerings all year round, and his soul is going to be hungry!"

Li Chengzu was dubious, and walked slowly to the door with Li Haichuan: "In the past, ancestor worship was dedicated to the spiritual tablets of the ancestors of the Li family. It is true that these statues of gatekeepers have never been sacrificed. Now it seems that it is really our fault, and we will come to worship ancestors later. At the same time, these statues of gatekeepers also have to burn a few sticks of incense, and offer some melons, pears, peaches, wine and meat snacks."

The two of them came to the ancestral hall, took out the broom, and cleaned the ancestral hall carefully. After checking that it was clean, they took out the incense they had prepared in advance, put them in the incense burner on the altar, and placed chickens and ducks Fish, melons, fruits, pears and peaches, as well as various snacks, filled the entire altar table.

"Kowtow!"

Li Chengzu finished arranging, and knelt down to the family tree hanging in the main hall and the ancestral tablets on several rows of tables: "I pray that the ancestors will bless my descendants of the Li family. , the children and grandchildren are in groups!"

Li Haichuan also picked up three sticks of burning incense, put them in the incense burner, knelt down and bowed down: "I only hope that my son is stupid and ruthless, and this life will be free from disasters and sorrows!"

Li Mu: "..."

When it was his turn to light the incense, the incense could not be lit. Li Mu lit it a few times and couldn't bear it. He was furious: "Where did you buy this incense? The quality is too bad!"

At that moment, he opened his mouth and sprayed out a burst of real fire, and then lit the three incense sticks, and then respectfully inserted the incense sticks into the incense burner.

Just as he was about to bend his knees and pay homage to his ancestors, he heard a bell ringing suddenly in his mind. After the bell sounded, a strong force enveloped Li Mu's whole body, making him straighten his back and freeze on the spot, unable to kneel down.
