Volume 4: A New Era Chapter 604: Bricklayers and the Lu Family’s Ancestor Worship
"Hey! Brother Ding, long time no see!"
At a construction site, a man wearing glasses was smiling at a man wearing a safety helmet and pushing a wheelbarrow carrying bricks in front of him, saying, "Moving bricks, Brother Ding, you are a hero after all, what are you thinking..."
call!
After unloading a brick, Ding Shiman wiped off the sweat with the rag around his neck and said, "This is just a part of the practice. Lu Liang, what do you want to talk to me about?"
"Of course, there is something I need to trouble Brother Ding about..."
Lü Liang smiled and said, "My family is about to hold a memorial ceremony for our ancestors. I would like to invite you to go back with me."
"Go back with you?"
Ding Shian said in surprise: "Why, are you afraid that Uncle Lu will beat you up?"
"My great-grandfather has passed away!" Lu Liang said lightly.
!!!
Hearing this, Ding Shian, who was moving bricks, stopped what he was doing, turned around, frowned and said, "What did you say?"
"I said, my great grandfather passed away!"
Lu Liang shrugged, "Some time ago, there was a battle in Tongtian Valley, and my great grandfather died there..."
“…”
After confirming that he had heard correctly, Ding Shimaan put the brick on the ground, took off his safety helmet, turned around and walked outside.
The production foreman behind him saw Ding Shiman taking off his hat and scolded him: "Hey, kid, put on your helmet, this is a construction site!"
Just as he finished speaking, a huge brick fell from the tall building, and the place where it fell was exactly where Ding Shimaan was standing.
Seeing this scene, the workers on the construction site couldn't help but feel nervous, and the foreman wanted to slap himself twice at this moment, as what he said was true.
Bricks falling from such a high place would definitely kill people. If a safety accident occurred, he, as the foreman, would inevitably have to bear joint liability.
However, when the brick was about to hit Ding Daoan...
Bang!
There was a crisp sound, and in full view of everyone, the stone that was about to hit Ding Shimaan suddenly exploded out of thin air and turned into a handful of ash that scattered on the ground.
Many workers' eyes were about to pop out of their heads as they watched.
What is this?
Lucky?
still……
Ding Shimaan ignored the gazes of outsiders at this time and walked straight out of the construction site, while Lu Liang followed closely behind.
After the two men left the construction site, the workers on the site finally reacted. Everyone subconsciously looked at the foreman, not knowing what to do next.
"What are you looking at? Get to work!"
After all, the foreman had seen a lot of storms and waves. After calming himself down a little, he quickly directed the workers to continue working.
At this moment, he didn't have the energy to investigate what had just happened. As long as no one died, that was good enough. As long as no one died, that was good enough...
After leaving the construction site, Ding Shimaan walked to an empty space, took a deep breath, and exhaled slowly.
"Brother Ding..."
Before Lv Liang could finish his words, he was interrupted by Ding Shiman, "I understand. I'll go back to the Lv family with you and burn a stick of incense for Senior Lv..."
As a martial arts fanatic, Ding Shimaan only respected a few people the most in his life, namely Ru Hu, Lu Ci, Lu Jin and Zhang Zhiwei.
Originally, he wanted to find an opportunity to spar with Lu Ci, but, the person just disappeared.
Out of respect for Lu Ci, Ding Shiman decided that he and Lu Liang would go back to the Lu family to pay tribute to this elder.
Just as the various factions of the Lu family were plotting, the day of ancestor worship was quietly approaching.
Many members of the Lu family began to spontaneously move towards the back mountain, because the Lu family's ancestral hall was there.
Wang Bing naturally followed Lu Huan and the others and headed upwards.
The other branches of the Lu family actually opposed Wang Bing's arrival.
Wang Bing's surname is not Lu, so why is he qualified to come to the ancestral hall? Let alone his engagement with Lu Huan, Wang Bing is not marrying into the family!
However, Wang Bing has a big fist, and they cannot ignore such powerful force.
More importantly, Wang Bing was shameless enough to use the name of the Wizard King to pressure the Lu family, claiming that if the Lu family wanted to drive him away, it would mean that the Lu family looked down on all wizards in the world.
This put the Lu family in a difficult position. There was a reason why wizards were not welcomed. These people were particularly petty and mean-spirited . No matter if they were shamans or spirit mediums, they were all the same.
Now that Lu Ci has passed away, there is no fighting force like the old man to rule the Lu family. The people of the Lu family are not stupid and do not want to offend others at this time and bring great enemies to the Lu family.
Therefore, along the way, even though the Lu family members were dissatisfied with Wang Bing, they did not say anything. In this way, the group came to the bottom of a cliff.
There is a cave under this cliff, and inside the cave is the ancestral temple of the Lu family.
Strictly speaking, the Lu family itself is not in Yunnan. The real birthplace of the Lu family is in southern Shanxi.
Because of the constant wars in the Central Plains in the early 20th century, the Lu family had to move to the Chuanyun area to resettle their home.
Therefore, this ancestral hall was built in a cave according to local conditions.
This ancestor worship ceremony was also very simple, because everyone in the Lu family knew that the real purpose of this ancestor worship ceremony was to select the next patriarch of the Lu family.
After the ceremony, members of the Lu family brought out three chairs and placed them in front of the ancestral hall.
Lu Zhong, Lu Xiao, and Lu Ping sat on the upper seats. Lu Zhong looked at the many Lu family members below and said, "Everyone, I believe you all know that my father's death was too sudden, but the Lu family cannot be without a leader..."
(The N word is omitted here)
"So today, in front of our ancestors, I hand over this right to you..."
Lu Zhong said calmly: "Whoever among the three of us has more supporters will inherit the position of the head of the Lu family."
"Wait, why are you three here?!"
Off the field, a member of the Lu family said, "How can you three be so worthy of sitting in this position? The Lu family is in constant internal strife because of you!"
"The first bird to stick out has come..."
Wang Bing, who was watching the ceremony, said calmly, "According to the usual routine, at this time there will definitely be some foolish youngsters who will jump out to refute and then be slapped in the face."
Wang Bing is not talking nonsense. The person who just spoke has the face of an ordinary person. Are you sure you are not being used as a gun by someone...
Sure enough, as soon as that person finished speaking, Lu Zhong's face in front of him suddenly fell. He didn't say much, but just gave a wink. Suddenly, people on both sides turned into two black shadows, appeared behind the person who was speaking, and subdued him without saying a word.
Bang!
At this time, another person came forward and punched the person who had just spoken in the abdomen. Wang Bing could feel that the person's Dantian was directly destroyed.
After destroying the man's Dantian, Lu Zhong said quietly: "Because of strength, strength determines everything in the alien world, of course..."
At this point, Lu Zhong changed the subject and sneered, "If you think you have the strength to compete for the position of Patriarch, you might as well give it a try, but the premise is..."
"You have what it takes to get to that position!"
