Chapter 506: Ancestral Hall Earthquake

Chapter 506

A hermit family like Wu Chi and the others attaches great importance to the inheritance of the fire.

Except for some crooked melons with evil intentions, the higher the seniority in the clan, the older the people are, the more respected they are.

In the general psychology of the tribe, they would not be what they are now without the efforts of their ancestors.

In the ancestral hall of the Miao family village, in addition to the ancestral tablets, there are also some things that only certain people know.

For this reason, this ancestral hall can be said to be the tallest and strongest building in the entire village. A team of people are even arranged to guard outside the ancestral hall in shifts every day, which shows that the people in the village value the ancestral hall.

When Grandpa Wu heard about the accident in the ancestral hall, he ran out of the house in a hurry before he could put on his coat.

"What happened to the shrine?"

"The ancestral hall was shaken just now, and even the memorial tablets in the ancestral hall were knocked down several times."

"Earthquake?" Grandpa Wu was stunned, "How come I don't feel the ancestral hall's earthquake?"

Wu Yan's face was serious: "Don't talk about you, I didn't feel it sitting in the front yard. The people over there said that the earthquake was only in the ancestral hall, and it lasted less than 20 seconds."

"At first, they thought that someone had sneaked into the ancestral hall to cause trouble. They ran in and looked for it for a long time, but they didn't find anyone, let alone any signs of explosion. Only a few tablets in the front hall were knocked down. It's gone, it's gone, everything else is fine."

Grandpa Wu heaved a sigh of relief, and then asked anxiously: "Have those memorial tablets been put back now? You should send someone to invite your second uncle and the elders to disturb the ancestors. Everyone must go there together to worship and pay respects to the ancestors." Just make up for it."

"Speaking of which, which ancestors' tablets were knocked down?"

Wu Yan's expression was slightly subtle when he heard the words: "The ones that fell are the grandpas, and the one that fell is... the grandpa."

Grandpa Wu let go of his anger, but was suffocated all of a sudden, his face was pale and green, and he almost couldn't hold his breath.

"Dad, Dad, don't worry, don't worry!" Seeing that Grandpa Wu was about to fall, Wu Yan hurried forward to help him up, pinched him, patted his back, and managed to calm him down .

"Hurry up, get someone to invite your second uncle and the elder..."

"I asked someone to invite you before I came, Dad, don't worry."

How could he not be in a hurry? He was so anxious that he wanted to hit someone!

Since they settled down on this mountain, the tablets of the Patriarch have not had any flaws. This sudden earthquake knocked down the tablets of other Patriarchs, even the tablets of the Patriarch were knocked off.

Grandpa Wu was already restless, and when this happened again, his first reaction was to warn his ancestors that something serious might happen to their clan!

It was true that Wu Yan said that he had sent people to call for them a long time ago. In less than five minutes, several seniors in the clan who were the same age as Grandpa Wu gathered in the ancestral hall.

Several people agreed with Grandpa Wu, thinking that this was not a good omen.

After discussing for a while, everyone decided to offer incense sticks to the ancestors first, and prepare fresh melons and fruits tomorrow to make amends.

Although Grandpa Wu has retired in the past few years, he still has prestige in the clan, and most of the people present are Wu Yan's elders.

In the end, Grandpa Wu came to offer the incense, but before he could bow down, the incense was cut off in the middle and fell to the ground.

Everyone in the house: "!!!"

Grandpa Wu and the others turned pale.

"This... Could it be that something happened in the clan that caused the ancestors to be furious and punish us? If this is the case..."

"Recently, the only thing that's making a fuss in the clan is the fact that the granddaughter of the Tao family is looking for a man outside, right? Do you think it's because of this ancestor..."

"As I said earlier, people who are not of my race will have a different heart. Isn't the lesson from twenty years ago not enough for everyone to be vigilant? Promise to let them go out to meet the world."

"Don't let them go out to meet the world, why should they be locked up on the mountain for a lifetime? Don't you look at how far the outside world has developed now?

There is no hope for our generation. Are these descendants allowed to sit on the sidelines and understand nothing? Nothing is better than others? "

"There's nothing wrong with being locked up on the mountain, at least it's safe..."

Seeing that the conservative faction and the open faction in the clan were about to quarrel again, Grandpa Wu's face darkened, and he shouted angrily: "Enough! Why are you arguing? This is an ancestral hall, not a vegetable market! Disturbing the quietness of the ancestors, we Let's see who can please."

Everyone was silent for a moment, but they still glared at each other angrily, obviously very unconvinced.

Grandpa Wu glanced at the angry crowd, and then at the broken incense in his hand, feeling a headache and worry at the same time.

Just at this moment, there was another rush of footsteps outside.

Before seeing the figure, I heard someone shouting: "Patriarch, old patriarch, it's not good, something happened."

When everyone heard this, they agreed in unison: "What happened?"

It was a seventeen or eighteen-year-old young man who came to report the news. Holding the door of the ancestral hall, he gasped for breath and said intermittently: "Young patriarch, the young patriarch and the others came back early, but I didn't expect that there were a few outsiders in the team. Now, now they are stalemate at the foot of the mountain, those people seem to have some skills."

"The sentry brothers don't know what to do, so let me come over and ask the patriarch, do you want to send someone down to support the young patriarch?"

"What? People outside?"

These words immediately stimulated several old people at the scene.

"I just said that the ancestral hall really moved on the spot. It must be the ghosts of these outsiders! Drive them away!"

"No, no, they already know this place, and if they leave, they might have a crooked mind. Let Ah Chi put a Gu on them to make sure they won't tell us about us and then drive them away, so that they will never die again in this life. Don't come here again."

Even the old folks who had just insisted on letting the children in the village go out for a walk now sided with the conservatives.

They hope that the children in the village can go out to see how big the sky is and how vast the land is, but that doesn't mean they are happy for people from outside to come into the village.

Wu Yan's father and son's attitude towards this matter was similar to that of everyone else, and they just wanted to let people go down to help drive them away.

The ground under his feet suddenly moved, and the large and small tablets in the front hall also shook.

Wu Yan hurried forward to support his father, and the young people outside also hurried in to support several old people.

After finally stabilizing his figure, the tablet placed in a ladder shape not far away suddenly rolled down from above, and precisely hit the shoulders and backs of several old people.

The patriarch tablet that just fell off not long ago was directly slapped on the head of an old man who was the most emotional just now, filled with righteous indignation and wanted to cast a spell on people and drive them away.

"Ouch!"

Everyone: "?!"
