The central courtyard was originally a quiet place, Xu Aotian has been cultivating here since he gave up the position of patriarch, and the affairs of the family have been handed over to the grandchildren to manage. There is Xu Ning outside, and Xu Tianyang and Xu Qing are taken care of inside, so his life is very leisurely.

In the first life, he finally returned to the field, which can be regarded as a complete merit.

However, who would have thought that suddenly disaster would fall from the sky! It can be said that among his sons, except for the old nine Xu Lie, the eighth Xu is the most loyal and honest. But I didn't expect it to be him! I sent a white-haired person to a black-haired person again, how could an old man who was over eighty years old endure it?

Therefore, Xu Aotian collapsed all of a sudden, and his physical condition was declining day by day, and he actually showed the state of the next life.

"Ning'er, it's good if you come back!" Xu Aotian woke up as if in a dream, wiped his muddy teary eyes, and calmed down the grief on his face a little, "Kowtow to your eighth uncle!" ”

"Yes!" Xu Ning's eyes were red, and he got up and came to the front of the mourning hall.

The big black coffin still exuded a strong smell of paint, and a woman dressed in linen and filial piety came over and handed Xu Ning three sticks of incense.

"Brother Xu Ning, here you go."

"You, you are Ruyan?!" Xu Ning glanced at it and asked.

"Yes."

Xu Ning nodded, the sadness in his heart was even heavier, Eighth Uncle Xu was speechless and had no heirs, only such a daughter, who was just twelve years old this year. Ruyan's mother has already passed away, and it turns out that the father and daughter can still rely on each other, but now, there are no relatives in the world.

Xu Ning held the fragrance in his hand, and knelt heavily on the ground with a "poof"!

"The eighth uncle blesses his nephew in the spirit of heaven, and kills all the enemies with swords and knives! For you, avenge our Xu family! ”

Three sticks of incense, insert two halves in the censer, and throw the other half on the ground. Because the eighth uncle Xu was speechless and died horizontally. I cannot enjoy all the offerings.

"Knock knock!"

Xu Ning's head knocked on the ground three times, and then he got up and asked Xu Zhong: "Uncle Zhong, today is the first few days, why didn't you mourn?" ”

"It was supposed to be mourned on the third day, but, alas, ......"

"What the hell is going on. Don't talk in a slurred way! You should know I don't have that much patience! ”

Xu Ning stood in front of the spirit and said solemnly, his tone was very cold, not at all like the sad young man just now.

He, Xu Ning, the patriarch of the Xu family!

"The force that is the one who is the fault in Qingfeng City not only controls the hermitage of the major families, but also buys a large number of scoundrels and hooligans in Qingfeng City. The daily thing these people do is to stalk around and report, smash and steal pits and deceive. Bad things are done. Our Xu family has also been insulted many times, but the forces behind them really can't be provoked......" Xu Zhong's voice became lower and lower.

"Why, isn't there a gentleman in the Xu family? Are they all sissies?! Ring the bell now and call a family assembly! Xu Ning roared angrily.

"Now?!"

"Uncle Zhong, you have a lot of nonsense now!" Xu Ning's eyes and Xu Zhong glanced at each other, and Xu Zhong's whole body trembled violently! Damn, is that a human look?! It's like two cold stars in the dark. When you get closer, you will find that it is the eyes of a huge poisonous snake spitting poisonous letters!

"Me. I'll go! "As soon as Xu Zhong gritted his teeth, he would die, he was afraid of a fart! Lao Tzu has already lived enough!

Running out of the central courtyard, a huge bronze bell hung on the pine tree, but it was already rusty. The green patina seems to be a sad face.

Xu Zhong did not hesitate to pull up the hammer of the bell!

"Knock knock! Knock knock! ”

The long and bright assembly bell rang out, and each one of them first passed through Xu Zhong's body, stimulating energy that he hadn't used for a long time!

As the bell struck, the green rust continued to peel off. The light reflected on Xu Zhong's face, looking resolute, and he looked like he was at home.

"What's going on? Someone rings the bell and doesn't want to live! ”

"Don't go, it doesn't have to be who did it!"

"This kind of life is clearly for us to gather, hurry up!"

The Xu family, who hadn't heard the bell for a long time, rushed out of the room in a hurry. After a brief panic, they rushed to the most central courtyard. Everyone knows that there is a coffin of Dad Xu speechless parked there, but, but now that everyone is in danger, and there is a lot of noise in Qingfeng City, who would really care about a dead person?

Even if it's concern, heartache, and pity, so what? The entire Qingfeng City is like being infected with a plague, and the next one may be himself!

The bell rang melodiously and loudly, and after a while, the entire courtyard was already crowded with people.

The central courtyard is not small, but it is not realistic to crowd everyone in, Xu Ning stood in the mourning hall, looking back from time to time, almost all the people have arrived, whether it is the direct Xu family clan, or the side clan, but most of them are the elderly, and the young people are not qualified enough, they are all waiting outside, observing the situation here from afar.

"Brother Xu Ning, it's almost the same." Xu Ruyan said to Xu Ning, who was kneeling on the ground.

Since just now, Xu Ning has been kneeling on the ground and burning paper, waiting for the people who came. Xu Aotian sat in his seat, motionless, his eyes closed, and he didn't seem to care about the people below him at all. And everyone who came would not have thought that the person who knelt on the ground to burn paper money for Xu Aotian was Xu Ning.

"Old patriarch, what's the matter, why did you suddenly ring the bell and gather!?" A direct elder walked over and asked.

Xu Aotian naturally didn't have anything to say, and still looked at the front blankly.

This is Xu Ning's confession, today he wants to make an example and revive his prestige!

"Old Patriarch ......"

Before the direct elder's words were finished, a very richly dressed young figure jumped out, pushed the elder away, and stood in front of Xu Aotian without shame.

"Hey, I said old patriarch, you're confused! Nothing to knock on, don't know what's going on outside?! It's really old and confused, do you still think you are the head of the Xu family? It's just delaying the master's fun! It was not easy to invite two better singers from Fengyue Pavilion......"

Before he finished his words, a few more richly dressed gentlemen appeared behind him, shaking their heads and saying, "Brother Xu Fu, what do you have to say to an old man?" Let's get out of here, don't those guys rush in and get us tired! Hum! ”

"You guys, you're so presumptuous!" Xu Zhong couldn't help but step forward and shouted.

"Hey, Xu Zhong, you old guy did a good thing today, aren't you afraid that those hidden cultivators outside will tear you down?"

"Shut up! You unfilial sons, where are the elders in the family! Is that what your father taught you? ”

"Hey, Xu Zhong, pay attention to what you say." A burly figure walked over, Xu Ning looked sideways and looked back, it was indeed the most powerful family in the Xu family's side branch, Xu Mad, he was also Xu Fu's father.

"Xu Mad, what do you want to do?" Xu Zhong saw Xu Mad coming over with bad intentions, and involuntarily took a few steps back, until he retreated behind Xu Ning.

In the mourning hall, there are all kinds of eyes, some are gloating, some are hateful, and some are helpless. The Xu family is like a plate of loose sand, not only facing external enemies, but also internal fighting! These people, who usually don't contribute to the Xu family at all, want to take the opportunity to occupy the Xu family's industry at this moment.

And Xu Mad is undoubtedly the most representative of these people. In the heyday of the Xu family in the past, he hid like a turtle with a shrunken head, and he was careful every day. When Xu Wuyan gained power, he was almost killed by his grandfather Xu Aotian because of his sycophancy, and it was the other elders who interceded to save his life!

Now, the Xu family is in decline, and he has risen up to make waves. The wolf is very ambitious, and he is entangled with all the branches and plotting against the wrongdoers, coercing and luring to buy soft bones, and now he seems to be the patriarch of the Xu family!

"What? If I heard me right, you seem to have a complaint against me just now! How can I teach my son, do I need you to take care of it?! Xu Madness grabbed Xu Zhong's collar.

"Father, let me teach this old guy a good lesson, otherwise he doesn't know who is in charge of the current Xu family!"

"Hmph, that's fine! Sooner or later, you're going to take over, haha! ”

Xu Mad made everyone dissatisfied, but with internal and external troubles and everyone in danger, who still has the heart to uphold justice?

People must have a strong leader to be able to unite, and this has nothing to do with how great the external strength is.

The entire Xu family added up to 100,000 people, but they would be torn apart by a few hermitages! Without faith, no matter how the flesh is interpreting and how powerful it is, it doesn't matter how vulnerable a coward is.

Xu Fu grabbed Elder Xu Zhong with a frightened face from Xu Mad's hand.

There was an immediate silence all around.

Everyone knows that this is Xu Fu playing on the topic, and their father and son want to use this incident to completely subvert the ruling power of the Xu family! This idea, they have been looking for opportunities to make it happen. But Xu Aotian was always silent, so he didn't find a chance, and now, it's a godsend!

Taking this opportunity to show his skills in front of everyone, absolutely no one dares to organize himself. As long as there is such a time, in the future, the entire Xu family will listen to our orders!

Xu Fu was very proud, he remembered this idea, and then sued his father.

Unexpectedly, haha, Lao Tzu would be able to reach the position of the patriarch one day! Xu thought arrogantly.

As for Xu Wuji, Xu Wudao, Xu Wuru, Xu Wufeng and others, they are still taking care of business outside, and they will not be a big Xu family at all. Even if they can come back, they will be at my disposal in the future! The more Xu Mad thought about it, the more beautiful he became, looking at his son Xu Fu, as long as he killed the old man Xu Zhong as soon as possible, he would have a complete merit.

"Hehe, old guy, if you want to blame it, you have a bad life, master, I can give birth to you under my subordinates!"

"You rebellious ......"

Xu Fuyi stretched out his hand and took out a sharp dagger from his arms, aimed it at Xu Zhong's heart and plunged into it! (To be continued......)
