When Xu Mo was a child, as long as it was a weekend, his father would take him to his grandfather's house to play, and his grandfather was keen to tell Xu Mo stories, including a legendary story about the ancestor of the Xu family.

According to legend, when it was in ancient times......

There is an emperor's favorite imperial concubine died, the emperor does not think about food every day, by chance, I heard that there is a Xu Gong in the people, to make a living by kneading noodles, pinched out of the noodles people lifelike, like a living thing!

In order to relieve the pain of lovesickness, the emperor sent someone to invite Xu Gong to the palace, and then asked him to make a face figure the same size as a real person according to the portrait of the late imperial concubine.

Xu Gong's skills can be called ingenious, pinched out of the imperial concubine's face is lifelike, a smile, vivid, just like a living person, the emperor sees it very much, every day after dealing with the government, you have to be alone with the imperial concubine's face for a while.

However, since the face was shaped, rumors have also begun to spread in the palace.

Some people say that when cleaning, the face sculpture of the imperial concubine suddenly disappeared, and then appeared again in the blink of an eye, and some people said that they saw the late imperial concubine dancing under the moon in the middle of the night, and finally the more mysterious it became, so outrageous that the ghost of the imperial concubine was attached to the face man, but in fact, the face man was alive!

In addition to the emperor and the king, everyone was full of awe and fear of the face sculpture of the imperial concubine.

Until one morning, after the emperor woke up, he found that the face sculpture of the imperial concubine was missing, and immediately Long Yan was furious, and searched the entire palace and did not find the face sculpture of the imperial concubine.

The emperor decreed that if no one could be found together, all those who failed in their duties would be executed!

Just when everyone was anxious, a palace maid stumbled to the emperor and shouted in horror.

"Your Majesty, it's haunted! The ghost of the imperial concubine is back!"

When the emperor pushed open the door, he saw the late imperial concubine, who was sitting in front of the dresser and dressing herself.

Even the emperor, who was accustomed to seeing big scenes, was stunned on the spot!

Some timid minions were even more frightened!

The imperial concubine is obviously dead, the funeral was held by the emperor himself, and the imperial concubine's corpse has been cremated to ashes, how can she come back to life?

It's not what the hell is it!

After a short shock, the emperor had the courage to step forward and touch it, and found that the imperial concubine's body was hot and a living person, and immediately cried with joy and took the imperial concubine into his arms.

"Isn't Concubine Ai already immortal, why did she come back to life?" asked the emperor at that time.

The imperial concubine also burst into tears, threw herself into the emperor's arms, and replied: "The concubine's soul traveled outside the world, and she met an old immortal, and the old immortal said that the concubine accumulated virtue and did good, and was willing to help the concubine be reborn, so the old immortal fabricated a face with dough, and beat the soul into it, and also told the concubine that there was half an hour of activity time every night, and when it was 7749 days, she would be able to be reborn and reunited with His Majesty. ”

The emperor was stunned when he heard this, and then suddenly realized.

It turns out that all the rumors in the palace before are true!

The noodle man was pinched by Xu Gong, and the days are calculated, it is exactly forty-nine days, the old immortal in the mouth of the imperial concubine, could it be Xu Gong?

Back!

Such means are comparable to immortals!

The emperor immediately asked Xu Gong to be invited into the palace to face the saint, but after the Imperial Forest Army arrived at the Xu Mansion, the huge Xu Mansion disappeared with even the people and the house, leaving only an abrupt open space.

Later, the emperor sent people to look for the whereabouts of Xu Gong, but the latter seemed to have evaporated from the world, and he still could not be found until the emperor's death.

And the news that the imperial concubine borrowed a face to return her soul also spread, and such a bizarre thing naturally became the after-dinner conversation of the common people, and the folk also had a legendary story of "living face".

Since then, no one has seen Xu Gong again, some people say that he was a god and naturally returned to heaven, some people say that he has seen Xu Gong in a paradise, and all kinds of rumors have also put a layer of mystery on this story.

"Do I have the same abilities as that old ancestor?"

Xu Mo was excited, life is the origin of all things, and now he has this kind of creation and life-giving divine ability,

The equivalent of the origin is in his hands, which means that he can evolve infinite possibilities, and can do things that many people can't do!

This is no longer something that can be measured by money!

A surging emotion came up, Xu Mokong only felt that his hands were itching, and he wanted to see if his hands could create a shocking legend.

This time, Xu Mo didn't rush to make a move, and first carefully sketched the blueprint in his mind.

Anyway, you have to pinch the same, just play a big one.

Lao Tzu wants to pinch out a dragon!

Don't get me wrong, what Xu Mo wants to pinch is not the big winged lizard in the West, it's ugly and unchallenging, what he wants to pinch is the real dragon, the legendary beast in China - the five-clawed golden dragon!

Xu Mo first pinched out the dragon body and dragon claws, carefully glued the two together, forming the prototype of a dragon, and then took a piece of dough again, carving out countless scales, each of which was only the size of a mung bean, but the lines on the scales were clearly visible.

Coloring, sticking scales, every step is crucial.

In order to keep improving, it took more than 3 hours for Xu Mo to complete all the production processes, and only the last step was left to put the finishing touch.

The pigment of the dragon's eye is special, the color is black and bright, and it looks like two real eyes, Xu Mo gently embellished the two eyes on the dragon's head.

It wasn't until nightfall that it was finally done!

"I'm tired!"

Beads of sweat the size of soybeans slid down Xu Mo's forehead, and he seemed to have exhausted all the strength of his body, and sat on the ground with his buttocks, panting heavily.

Don't look at the relaxed appearance of the dough kneader, in fact, it is also individual work.

Ordinary noodle people can be done in two or three clicks, but it is extremely difficult to do anything to the extreme, and if you want to make the noodle people vivid, every process requires a high degree of mental concentration.

It's so hurtful!

After pinching the dragon, Xu Mo only felt a sore waist and shoulders, weak arms, and sore tears in his eyes, which was not an exaggeration at all, it was even more tiring than moving bricks at the construction site.

Placing the "dragon" on the bamboo table, Xu Mo took a few steps back.

His eyes were fixed on the body of the "dragon", and his mood at the moment was mixed, excited, expectant, and a little afraid of the unknown.

After all, it's a mythical dragon!

If he really came back to life, it would be enough to shock the whole world!

However, he suddenly became a little intimidated, worried that the "dragon" would swallow him alive......

After waiting for a moment, the "dragon's" body began to tremble slightly, and then countless tiny cracks appeared on the surface of the face sculpture, and dazzling golden light overflowed from the cracks.

It's out!

The dragon is about to break out of its cocoon!

It's going to come back to life!

Xu Mo's pupils dilated, and his excited green tendons burst out, he could already see the golden light condensed into a dragon's phantom in the air, and he could even hear a low dragon groan coming from the face sculpture!

Boom!

At the last moment, the body of the "dragon" suddenly exploded, shattering into countless small pieces of noodles, and the golden light also dissipated.

"What's going on? Am I failing?"
